Susan Boyle Loves Hollywood, Donny Osmond
2 hours ago | People.com - TV Watch | See recent People.com - TV Watch news »
Less than 24 hours after Susan Boyle performed on Dancing With the Stars, the soundstage was still buzzing with excitement over the 48-year-old Scottish singing sensation's impeccable vocals on the Les Miserables classic "I Dreamed a Dream." Boyle tells People her Dancing experience was "very exciting." Best of all, she giddily admits, "I've met my hero, Donny Osmond." Starstruck? You bet. "It is quite something to be in Hollywood," she explains. "This is a world I've never seen before and never dreamt that I would get to see." Boyle's journey from humble, rural beginnings in Scotland to the bright lights of Hollywood has been "quite something," she says. "Nothing a woman like me was used to. I have found Americans to be incredibly warm and friendly and very open." And eager to get their hands on more of Boyle's music! Her debut album, which won't be released until Nov. 23, is already a bestseller. »

From Melrose to Chicago… Ain't That A Bitch?!
9 November 2009 11:08 AM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
So Best Week Ever.tv has announced that Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, fresh off her "firing" from Melrose Place, has landed a role in the long running Broadway play, Chicago, as the lead character, Roxie Hart.
Mark, you are obviously lying. This is not funny and it is cruel, because nobody in their right mind would put Ashlee Simpson on Broadway.
They said that Whitney Houston was America's Sweetheart and could do no wrong. And look what happened to her. In short, Hell has begun to freeze over so expect pigs to start flying next.
While Simpson-Wentz didn't affect me to a slow screeching death while watching her on Melrose Place, I still can't see how she went from MP trollop to Broadway starlet. As fellow Tvo writer/staff member Clarissa says about the abomination situation, "I love Chicago. I love the movie. I love the soundtrack… and this is wrong on so many levels. »

Whitney Houston is selling her old marital home. The 'I Will Always Love You' singer is selling the luxury five-bedroom property - where she wed Bobby Brown in 1992 - in New Jersey for just $2.5 million, less than half its estimated worth of $5.6 million.

During the last years of their marriage, Whitney and Bobby were based in Atlanta. She nearly lost the house - which boasts a four-car garage, three fireplaces, walk-in closets, a bar and skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows - in 2006 after a combination of failing »

Yesterday, both Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were spotted in an airport working their way out of our neighbor to the north.

Q&A: Clive Davis on Singing in the Shower and the Coming Robot Revolution
29 October 2009 8:57 PM, PDT | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
Nobody wants to be the old dude at the kegger. You know the guy I’m talking about. He shows up uninvited, wearing skinny jeans and sporting a depressingly obvious comb-over and saying things like “You got me straight trippin’, boo.” He’s obviously way too old to be partying with college kids, but he doesn’t seem to notice or care. He’s still clinging to an idealized youth that he refuses to believe has passed him by. He just wants to be treated as a peer, and maybe even a hipster. He doesn’t realize that it’s time to give up the posturing, and accept that with age comes a certain inevitable irrelevance. Clive Davis is not that guy. Which is kinda weird. Davis certainly seems like he’d qualify for creepy-old-guy-at-the-party status. At 77 years old, he’s one of the oldest working producers and executives in the music business. »
Midnight Train To Georgia Was Fawcett's Song
27 October 2009 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Late actress Farrah Fawcett inspired soul classic Midnight Train To Georgia.
The tune, which was a huge hit for Gladys Knight & The Pips, was originally titled Midnight Plane to Houston until Whitney Houston's mum Cissy rejigged it.
But songwriter Jim Weatherly insists the hit will always be dedicated to Fawcett and her former husband Lee Majors in his mind.
Weatherly tells Nashville Story Source he wrote the song after chatting to his pal on the phone.
He says, "She said she was packing her clothes and she was gonna go back and visit her folks and she was taking the midnight plane to Houston. When she said that a little bell went off in my head.
"I actually used Farrah and Lee as kind of like the people in the song... It's just a simple little story about a girl that comes to L.A. to make it, becomes a star and everything, finds it too hard and goes back (home)." »

Lisa Niemi is breaking her silence on losing husband Patrick Swayze to cancer -- and admits that after his death, going on felt like a "betrayal" of the actor.Niemi, 54, spoke about the loss of her husband at Maria Shriver's 2009 Women's Conference today -- where she revealed that dealing with loss is very new to her. "I thought during the 22 months of my husband's illness that it gave me all this time to get used to the idea of losing him. I found for myself that when I actually got to this point I said, 'No no no'... it wasn't the same at all." »
Alicia Keys: The Nicest Guest In The Newsroom
26 October 2009 2:56 PM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
One question I get asked a lot is, "Who is the nicest celebrity you've ever interviewed?" It's a tough question to answer, but the very talented Alicia Keys is definitely up there.
I remember "falling" hard for Ms. Keys when I first saw her perform a small showcase in London back in 2001. She was all smiles then, and I remember thinking she might be one of the nicest girls I'd ever met. Eight years on, it seems nothing has changed.
There was an air of confidence surrounding Keys when she walked into the newsroom last week following her appearance on "It's On with Alexa Chung." She's graceful and elegant, but you'd be a fool to forget that Alicia Keys is a real New Yorker.
I'm not so up on female fashion, but it must be said she was wearing some very impressive boots — half black and half metallic. She looked, »

Cheryl Cole's solo debut has become the fastest-selling single of the year.
