Jimmy Kimmel will be back once again to host ... [Everybody's A Winner]
Jimmy Kimmel will be back once again to host the still-kicking American Music Awards, which air Nov. 23. Nominations haven't been announced yet, but Pink and The Jonas Brothers have been announced as performers, so feel free to draw your own conclusions. Some of you may remember that last year's show opened with will.i.am and Nicole Scherzinger flogging their floptastic albums—and somehow, it got worse from there, thanks in no small part to Kimmel being forced to ad-lib his way through the writer-free

Lady GaGa Performs ‘Just Dance’ on Ellen
Lady GaGa, real name Joanne Germanotta, has been creeping up the charts and into the homes of the US, Europe and the UK. The Fame, her debut electro-dance floor album featuring this hit single, is getting great reviews from critics saying she is a refreshing new form of pop with an actual voice behind the music. So she might not be a Mariah or Christina, but she’s better than a lot of performers who would never be able to sing live with that kind of dance routine where she is up in the air, bouncing

Forest Whitaker Lives In ‘A Wonderful World’

According to Variety, Forrest Whitaker is set to direct and star in “What a Wonderful World,” a biopic of the legendary Louis Armstrong — and he’s doing it for Paris-based Legende, the production company behind last year’s Oscar favorite, “La Vie en Rose.” Music fans know that Louis Armstrong was an enormous influence on not

Britney Spears Fashions Her Own Spectacle [Videodrone]
Was it a conscious decision to make "Circus," the title track from Britney Spears' new album, eerily recall "Gimme More" from her blackout-period opus Blackout? Either way, the song's video has enough meta to choke even the most semiotics-loving grad student. There's the "Britney leading a dance troupe down a hall" bit that recalls "...Baby One More Time"; a glittery nude bodysuit not unlike the one she stripped down to during the 2000 Video Music Awards; a shot of her self-branded perfume. Not to mention t

Is Circus Britney Spears' True Comeback LP?
Experts weigh in with their first-week sales predictions. By Chris Harris Britney Spears' Circus Photo: Jive Records This time last year, it was as if Britney Spears was walking around with a target on her back. The embattled pop star was the subject of media ridicule following her performance at the 2007 Video Music Awards, and her personal travails were splashed across the pages of the nation's tabloids on an almost weekly basis. She'd just released an album that some had prematurely hailed as h

An audience estimated at 12.8 million tuned in on Saturday night to see the singer, perform her new single, Womanizer. But they were less than pleased with the result.
