has a new MTV special, a new album and even a five-year plan for her future. Brit’s last plan (marry K-Fed, have a couple of kids, live happily ever after) didn’t quite work out. Maybe this one will.

“In five years, I would like to be married and have a father figure for my kids, someone who is a provider and can be really stable,” Spears offered up her opinions in the latest issue of magazine. Is this meant to be a direct dig at her kids’ actual father, K-Fed, or just a random future wish from Brit?

“It’s hard doing it on your own,” Spears added in her interview, in what would certainly seem to be a pointed remark in ’s direction.

But before you boys start lining up to become step daddy number one, you’d better learn about Britney’s new habits.

Entertainment Industry Reacts to Hudson Tragedy

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Breaking News

Jennifer Hudson“I’m planning on touring,” smiled and spoke enthusiastically only weeks ago. “There’s more films and more music and stuff like that [in the future],” she said. “I want to start a fashion line as well, start writing music.” After her breakout performance in Dreamgirls, appearing as Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant in the runaway hit chick flick Sex and the City and with a new album and movie already making waves, Jennifer Hudson’s life seemed charmed. Today, the effervescent star is at the center of a grisly tragedy.

Engaged to David Otunga and on the brink of what appears to be an extremely successful career, Hudson talked of her many future plans. “It’s gonna be a production,” she said of her wedding. “I have so many visions for it right now - I get to put that together.”

Hudson, 27, had the world at her feet only last week. Now, she probably feels the weight of the world crashing down on her shoulders. Over the weekend, Hudson’s mother and brother were victims of domestic violence, events which proved fatal for both. On Monday, the star was in Chicago identifying the Julian, 7, who had gone missing after the killings took place.

Is It Britney?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Videos, Breaking News, Rumors

Britney SpearsA Web site created on September 15, 2008 through Go Daddy calling itself has posted an audio Internet video that’s suddenly becoming the most talked-about file on the Web. Considering the subject matter, this is hardly surprising - but if you’re looking for the formula for online success, pay attention.

A single picture of Brit, a countdown showing the time remaining on the release of her album and a single audio embed is all it takes to make a site successful. If, of course, the site is offering up audio of what is purportedly a leaked track off of a truly unreleased album. The track, “Candy From Strangers” certainly sounds like it could be the work of .

Ali Lohan’s Musical Debut

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Rumors

Ali Lohan

It’s no secret that is trying to follow in big sister Lindsay’s footsteps - she’s already said as much in her interviews. Ali, 14, has recently debuted her first single “All the Way Around” (it can be found here on YouTube). Here’s the surprising part: it’s pretty good.

The somewhat repetitive song has a rhythmic R&B feel that’s somewhat different from ’s poppy sound, and Ali’s vocals sound very mature. Ali calls her soon-to-be-released album “more hip-hop. Kind of like Rihanna.” If this first single is any indication of Ali’s sound, I think the album could be pretty good. All the way around.

Scarlett Johansson the Singer?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Videos

While we’ve become used to seeing musicians evolve into Oscar-nominated thespians (e.g. , Queen Latifah), I can’t recall the last time an A-list actor has successfully made their mark in the music industry.  But does that mean they should stop trying?

On May 20th, will release her first album, Anywhere I Lay My Head.  Her first single, ‘Falling Down’, can be heard via her video below.  After listening to it, let us know what you think.  Should she stick to starring in Woody Allen films…or could she possibly have a side career in music?

New Kids Back to the Old Routine

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: D-List, Music, Breaking News, Where Are They Now?

New Kids on the Block

Sure, I listened to the . I was a young girl in the 90s - find me another like myself who didn’t listen to this band. They rocketed to success, blazed a trail for all the boy bands which came after them, and sold 70 million albums while swinging their legs back and forth and wearing ripped-up jeans. I mean, what says superstars quite like that?

Now they’re all almost forty, and they’re going to attempt to do it (or…something sort of like it) again. Honestly, plainly, I’ve never been into aging rockers. I admire bands like The Rolling Stones and performers like Paul McCartney and sure I think they’re great, but there’s also something a little sad about almost-geriatric singers still playing an electric guitar (don’t believe me? Did you see the ?).

Julianne Hough Saving Herself for That Special Person

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Engagements, Rumors

Julianne HoughAnyone who still believes that had some part in Helio Castroneves’ broken engagement may think differently after hearing this news:  she is still a virgin.

The Dancing with the Stars professional has been bogged down with rumors ever since she was paired up with her first athlete, Apolo Ohno.  Now the dancer, who is recording her first country album (don’t confuse her with , who is also doing the same), is opening up to CosmoGIRL!.

The blonde beauty says that she has made the (admirable) choice to wait until marriage; she believes that decision will only help to “strengthen that relationship.”  Wondering why Hough broke off her own engagement last year?  She felt she was simply too young.

You’re only 19 years old.  I think “young” would be an understatement.

Randy Jackson Gives Katharine McPhee a Second Chance

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Features

Katharine McPheeBuxom Idol contestant Katharine McPhee was dropped from her record label, but apparently reality roots run deep. Judge will help McPhee get back in the limelight with a new track on his album, where she’ll be paired with fellow Idol alum Elliott Yamin.

Okay, so I’ve heard the song…and it’s crap. Repetitive, boring, and throughout one can hear McPhee making strange, nonsensical noises. It’s called “Real Love,” one of the most uninspired titles I’ve heard, and the audio is currently making the rounds on the Internet. I warn you - don’t listen.

Listen to New Michael Jackson Track

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Videos

Michael Jackson Thriller 25For years now, I’ve made the habit of adding asterisks to my age.  (I’ll just say that I’m somewhere around 30****.)  Now the release of a special album has forced me to address my declining youth once again.

Tomorrow, Thriller 25 will be the latest CD to hit the stores.  This means we’ve now hit the classic album’s silver anniversary.  (Technically, it was released in December 1982.)  I swear I can see his protruding wrist bones splashed inside the cover like it was yesterday…

Tuesday’s deluxe edition will not only include remixes of the classic tracks (contributing artists include Akon, will.i.am and ) but several bonus songs as well.  One of those new additions, “For All Time”, is a record that never made the original cut.  It has since been tweaked for the 2008 update.  (You can listen to it here.)  While I would not consider the song memorable, it does bring back fond memories of a less freakish era.)
