As if we weren’t excited enough about the two-hour season premiere of Grey’s Anatomy Thursday - there’s yet ANOTHER reason to watch!
Country sweetheart Taylor Swift’s new song, “White Horse,” will debut on the show.
“Finding out I have a song in Grey’s Anatomy was one of the very few times in my life I’ve broken down crying out of happiness,” Taylor told Usmagazine.com. “That show is my biggest obsession - and my longest relationship to date. Ha! I’m so happy, I don’t even know what to do with myself.”
Jessica Simpson may not be the best when it comes to live shows (anyone see her GMA performance last week? Ouch) - but a botched performance or two has done little to hinder her country success.
It seems Tonica…er, Jessony, uh… JessMo? have some things to celebrate. That’s right - the Texas couple can claim victory after Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football - and J-Simp has the number one country album, according to Billboard.
But that’s not all - Do You Know also came in at number four on the Billboard 200. Go get ‘em, Jess! Yee Haw.
The MTV Video Music Awards were lackluster at best last weekend, save a much anticipated appearance from the former princess of pop herself - none other than Britney Spears.
She didn’t perform at the show. She didn’t do much of anything, really, except for look super hot in a sparkly silver minidress - creating a “maybe she CAN make a comeback” buzz. Well, folks, she is making a comeback. You wanted a piece of her? You got it.
Spears’ new album, Circus, is slated for a December 2 release - which also happens to be her 27th birthday. In the last decade, she’s sold over 60 million albums, been married in Vegas, danced with a snake, kissed Madonna, shaved her head, starred in a movie, married, reproduced with, and divorced a dancer, had a very public breakdown, given countless sold-out shows, partied with Paris, botched a performance, had her life turned over to her father and, well, the list goes on. It’s been a heck of a decade for the former Mouseketeer - let’s hope Circus is more spectacular, less debacle.
Her first single, “Womanizer,” drops September 22.
Have you heard Ne-Yo’s new single, “Miss Independent”? The video just came out, and no, it’s not a remake (nor does it have any affiliation with) Kelly Clarkson’s song of the same name - the second single from her debut album (which also earned her a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2004).
But wait, that’s not all! Both Kelly and Ne-Yo also have songs called “Because of You.” Hmm… which came first? The chicken? The egg? The Idol? I digress…
The songs could feasibly be about the same “Miss Independent” - just from a different perspective. So, ladies and gents, being that the songs share a title, it seems ONLY FAIR to pit them against eachother. Whatsitgonnabe? The Texas-born and bred American Idol songstress or the smooth R&B “Closer” crooner? You decide!
The previously outspoken anti-piracy-advocate himself, Lars Ulrich (remember his passionate hatred of Napster back in the day?) isn’t upset that Metallica’s new album leaked online. It seems he’s calmed down - he’s even “happy”!
The new LP, titled Death Magnetic, was leaked online, according to Blabbermouth.net. Ulrich is unfazed, speaking to a radio station Tuesday, “Listen, we’re 10 days from release. I mean, from here, we’re golden.
“If this thing leaks all over the world today or tomorrow, happy days. Happy days. Trust me. Ten days out and it hasn’t quote-unquote fallen off the truck yet? Everybody’s happy. It’s 2008 and it’s part of how it is these days, so it’s fine. We’re happy.”
Oops! They did it again. As if her homemade video for “Higher” - in which she frolicked and rolled in a pink bikini - and her I-wish-I-was-Fergie-but-I’m-not-quite-Fergalicious single “Fashion” weren’t enough, Heidi Montag and her prat of a boyfriend/producer/insert any series of pertinent jabs here, Spencer Pratt, leaked yet another single.
And that’s not all. It comes with a “Let’s Get Physical”-wannabe video. This one’s called “Overdosin.” Weird. That’s what it makes me want to do.
Unfortunately for Speidi fans, there was some sort of technical difficulty with the video (YouTube is synonymous with rocket science, y’all) and so the video is too slow for the music. But check it out anyway.
Instead, she’s goin’ down south, placing herself head to head with Carrie Underwood (yes, that same Carrie Underwood that once upon a time dated Tony Romo, who-just-so-happens-to-be-Jessica’s-current-football-playing-boyfriend scenario) with a fresh new, sound..country music!
This morning, Miss Simpson sat down with 107.5 The River in Nashville and let the home of country music know what was going on with her new single, “Come On Over”, her feud with Carrie and literally clearing the air with her lady-like antics, of course.
Watch the interview here and let us know what ya’ll think of the new song. Should it be country kickin for Jess or should she trade in her yee-haw for pop?
The Jonas Brothers and Taylor Swift were on location in New York’s Central Park yesterday, where the sizzlin’ hot trio and the country sweetheart teamed up to film a video for the Brothers’ second single from their album A Little Bit Longer.
What’s next, a Taylor Swift/Kevin Jonas romance? Nah, she should stick to guys with monosyllabic names… they’re WAY easier to work into song. Wait, hasn’t she been linked to Joe?! It’s all starting to make sense. “Joe looks at me…” (altogether now)…
Joe Jonas played NYPD cop, while little brother Nick drove a horse and carriage during the NYC shoot.
Hey Kevin, is that hot dog Burnin’ Up for me?
In other (and unrelated, well, related by a longshot) new music news, you can check out the video for Weezer’s “Pork and Beans” on demand if you click here. It’s from their latest self-titled album. So what’s this got to do with the Brothers Jonas? Well, how incredibly rad would it be if Nick, Joe and Kevin did a cover of Weezer’s song “My Name is Jonas”?! Somebody contact both bands with the brilliant idea! But seriously.
David Archuleta, that cute, wee runner-up from American Idol’s last season, visited Elvis Duran and the Morning Show on Friday to debut his new single, “Crush”..and Lordy loo, were the Arch Angels out in force!
The Elvis crew tells me that they got e-mails from all 50 states, Canada and freaking GUAM inquiring about the premiere before its Friday launch.
The comment board on ElvisDuran.com is blowing up with love from Archie fans from 8 to 80–but we want to know what you think!

Politics and celebrity are colliding in a most interesting way today. First, John McCain’s campaign released a commerical that’s a huge bitchslap to Barack Obama, calling him “the biggest celebrity in the world” (cool) while cutting in video of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton (thinking of them in the Oval Office is SO NOT COOL). See for yourself:
Then, Obama supporter and hoes-in-different-area-codes-gotter Ludacris drops a track that calls Hillary Clinton an “irrelevant b&*ch” for “hating on [Obama],” saying that “McCain don’t belong in any chair unless he’s paralyzed” and calling GWB “mentally handicapped.” Whoa, Nelly! Listen and read (courtesy of LiveLeak.com) and weigh in with your comments.
Lyrics:
I’m back on it like I just signed my record deal
yeah the best is here, the Bentley Coup paint is dripping wet, it got sex appeal
never should have hated
you never should’ve doubted him
with a slot in the president’s iPod Obama shattered ‘em
Said I handled his biz and I’m one of his favorite rappers
Well give Luda a special pardon if I’m ever in the slammer
Better yet put him in office, make me your vice president
Hillary hated on you, so that b^$&%* is irrelevant
Jesse talking slick and apologizing for what?
if you said it then you meant it how you want it have a gut!
and all you other politicians trying to hate on my man,
watch us win a majority vote in every state on my man
you can’t stop what’s bout to happen, we bout to make history
the first black president is destined and it’s meant to be
the threats ain’t fazing us, the nooses or the jokes
so get off your ass, black people, it’s time to get out and vote!
paint the White House black and I’m sure that’s got ‘em terrified
McCain don’t belong in ANY chair unless he’s paralyzed
Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped
Ball up all of his speeches and I throw em like candy wrap
cause what you talking I hear nothing even relevant
and you the worst of all 43 presidents
get out and vote or the end will be near
the world is ready for change because Obama is here!
cause Obama is here
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!
