Everyone is trying to sing nowadays. So, why wouldn’t Heidi Montag. She wants to be a celebrity so much and she has finally decided – pop star is what she wants to be.

According to People, for that she had to start her own record label with:

Super Producer RedONE,” a source tells PEOPLE. “RedOne will write and produce with Heidi an entire album of 13 songs.”

I have never heard and watched anything worse than this video of hers, which was directed by ex-fiancé Spencer Pratt who is just the perfect match for a dummy like her. Heidi’s climbing on rocks, chasing seagulls, running through waves. It is the dumbest thing she’s done so far. Do you think it’s possible to do any worse?

Christina Aguilera was interviewed on Larry King Live on June 25. Aguilera talks about “Rock the Vote” and her involvement. She’s decided that this is the right time to get involved because she’s concerned about the future for her new born son. Rock the Vote is an organization that encourages people to vote. Here’s an ad that they currently have on YouTube. 

Pop star Avril Lavigne is less than one million hits away from scoring the No. 1 most viewed video on YouTube - but doubts have been raised over how her massive ratings have been achieved.
Girlfriend, the first single from Lavigne's 2007 album Best Damn Thing, has had 88,907,202 views on the video sharing site at the time of writing.
That's less than one million views away from YouTube's biggest video, Evolution of Dance.
But doubts have been raised as to whether Lavigne's video has really been watched that many times.
Fans have set up a website that refreshes every 15 seconds, adding to Lavigne's Girlfriend view count.

The website's creator said: "Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend music video is less than one million views away from becoming the most watched video of all time on YouTube.
"So what we're attempting won't be easy but ... Bahh who am I kidding? Of course it will be easy because we have a secret weapon."
The website, which has boosted the clip's tally by just under 120,000 views since it launched on June 19, encourages fans to keep the site open to boost Girlfriend's views.
YouTube has a strict policy that prohibits the use of automated systems to increase page impressions.

It was enforced earlier this year when a fan-made clip of Brazilian band Cansei de Ser Sexy's song Music Is My Hot Hot Sex reached the top spot in record time, before being removed.

Since their last hit record, 1989's Dr. Feelgood, Mötley Crüe fans have endured countless live albums, "greatest-hits" collections, reissues and B-sides packages, two records with John Corabi on vocals, one with Randy Castillo behind the kit and one with the original line-up that sank with barely a trace (1997's Generation Swine). The most successful thing the band produced in those ensuing years was its tell-all autobiography, The Dirt, a story so drenched in sex, drugs, and rock & roll that it elicited a venereal disease and a contact high just through picking it up. That book is the impetus behind Saints of Los Angeles, the first record to feature the group's original lineup since Feelgood, and it's a welcome -- though spotty -- return to form for these aging miscreants. The Crüe are at their best when they mine the manic, punk-infused glam metal of the pre-saturated, mid-'80s Sunset Strip, something they get right on opening cut "Face Down in the Dirt," complete with a Shout at the Devil-era, "In the Beginning"-inspired intro. "Down at the Whisky" echoes the West Coast excess of Girls, Girls, Girls, managing to wax both nostalgic and devious while dutifully summing up the band's rise from local pranksters to international bad boys, while the rousing title cut, though a bit forced, manages to drum up the kind of chest-thumping bravado that sparked some of the best metal anthems of the late '80s. Like all Crüe albums, things start to go south about halfway through, and while the performances and subject matter are as raucous and sadistic as the book upon which they're based, it's all a bit too deliberate. Mötley Crüe have been trumpeting their hedonism for so long and so loudly that it's become more of a caricature than a way of life, and while Saints of Los Angeles is the best thing they've laid to tape since their codpiece heydays, it's more of a walk down memory lane/Sunset Strip than a legitimate call to arms.

Country legend George Jones has raided the archives for his next album, "Burn Your Playhouse Down: The Unreleased Duets," due Aug. 19 via Bandit Records.

The set features 12 previously unreleased duets with artists such as Keith Richards ("Burn Your Playhouse Down"), Shelby Lynne ("I Always Get It Right With You"), Ricky Skaggs ("She Once Lived Here") and Dolly Parton ("Rockin' Years"), among others.

The songs were recorded from the mid-'70s to as recently as last year. Several of the tracks are leftovers from Jones' 1994 release "The Bradley Barn Sessions" (MCA) and other contributions were extras from 1991's "Friends in High Places" (Epic).

The remaining two songs are "Lovin' You, Lovin' Me," a duet between Jones and ex-wife Tammy Wynette, and "You and Me and Time," featuring Wynette's daughter Georgette Jones.

The Memphis rap group's latest album boasts appearances by Akon, Good Charlotte, DJ Unk, Lyfe Jennings, UGK, Al Kapone, Eightball, and MJG.

A couple of years ago it would have been easy to mistake the core members of Three 6 Mafia — Juicy J and DJ Paul — for rap stars. In 2005 they had their first pop hit, the sweeping and sinister “Stay Fly,” and in 2006 they won the Oscar for best original song, memorably performing “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp,” from “Hustle & Flow,” to an Academy Awards audience that didn’t seem quite sure if it was being punk’d: Who were these guys?

But Three 6 Mafia, from Memphis, had been making terrific, spooky albums for more than a decade, though it hadn’t had much success or recognition outside the South. After the Oscars Three 6 Mafia rode the wave of unlikely fame, excising an ancillary member, Crunchy Black, and moving to California to tape an MTV reality series, the occasionally amusing, more often uncomfortable “Adventures in Hollyhood.”

On that show Three 6 Mafia members were routinely portrayed as country folk not quite sure how to cope in the big city. And there is a slight residue of their “Hollyhood” days here, particularly “My Own Way,” a dismal team-up with ordinarily antic (but here gloomy) rock band Good Charlotte. But mostly, and thankfully, the group seems to have forgotten its brush with the limelight. Which is to say “Last 2 Walk,” its first album since the excellent “Most Known Unknown,” from 2005, sounds like vintage Three 6 Mafia: bruising production, gloriously foul-natured lyrics, single-minded focus on life’s pleasures — the humorously lewd “I’d Rather” and “Lolli Lolli (Pop That Body)” — all under a cloud of paranoia. “Play with your Playstation,” they warn, slightly absurdly, on “Playstation,” “Don’t play with me, boy.”

And yet, even when Three 6 Mafia menaces, it’s exuberant. Over the years it has learned to create minor key arrangements that bend in curious, exciting ways, seen here on “First 48” and “On Some Chrome,” a collaboration with UGK. (When Pimp C of UGK died in late 2007, he was in Los Angeles collaborating with Three 6 Mafia on tracks for this album.) Given the choices Juicy J and DJ Paul could have made — and for a time, did make — “Last 2 Walk” feels almost willfully obscure: in other words, right back where they belong

Rapper Kanye West was jeered by angry fans when he appeared on stage at a music festival in Tennessee.

According to the BBC the singer was an hour-and-a-half late for his performance, promoting fans to chant "Kanye sucks" and throw items, including glow sticks at the empty stage.

Festival spokesman Ken Weins said the delay was caused by having to take apart Pearl Jam's set and loading up Kanye West's equipment.

West had been due to perform in the early hours of Sunday morning but the extended delay resulted in many campers returning to their tents.

The Bonnaroo Music Festival also included performances from The Raconteurs and comedian Chris Rock.

Singer Christina Aguilera is desperate for a second child with husband Jordan Bratman - because she is a "natural" at motherhood.
The 'Beautiful' star gave birth to son Max with music executive Bratman earlier this year and would love a younger brother or sister for the tot.
However, although she is eager to expand her brood, Aguilera is putting her parenting plans on hold until she can find time in her busy schedule.
She says: "Oh, eventually (I want another baby), yes. Absolutely.
"Motherhood comes naturally to me. I think a whole new confidence comes with being a mother."
