OMG like...

So if you're a huge Britney Spears fan you now have the opportunity to help Britney choose her next album title. The choices are a bit odd but what isn't that deals with Britney Spears. Here are the choices:

  1. Omg is Like Lindsay Lohan Like Okay Like (must say with valley girl voice)
  2. What if the Joke is on You
  3. Down Boy
  4. Integrity
  5. Dignity
I think the last two have to deal with what Britney Spears has lost in the last couple of years. I just pray that her fan club will choose number one because it will have to go down as the worst album title in history. I want to sign up just to choose it. Said to have been producing for the album are producers such as Pharrell Williams, Dr. Luke, Johnathan Rotem who produced the song Beautiful Girls by Sean Kingston amongst other songs and even R&B artist Ne-Yo who has been successful producing songs for Beyonce (Irreplaceable) and Rihanna (Unfaithful). Hopefully, her fifth studio album will be the push she needs to reclaim her throne as the princess of pop. As much fun it is to see her losing it, I think the majority of us hope to see the old Britney for a change.

Mark Ronson

The genius producer behind Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse is coming out with his own sophomore album of cover songs produced by him featuring artists such as Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Robbie Williams, River Cuomo of Weezer and much more. If you can't wait for the US release, July 10, you can buy it on the UK version of iTunes. Here's one of the singles off his next record, Version, featuring Lily Allen.

Spice Girls reunite

If you haven't heard the Spice Girls have reunited for a world tour. Are they going to a town near you or are you willing to travel? Who's actually going to see these girls? The only one who is relevant these days is Victoria Beckham. It's funny watching their old videos now, especially for Mrs. Beckham, because you almost forget that she was Posh Spice nowadays. She's treated as royalty now that she is Mrs. Beckham. So the tour will be in:

  • December 7: Los Angeles
  • December 8: Las Vegas
  • December 11: New York
  • December 15: London
  • December 20: Cologne, Germany
  • December 23: Madrid, Spain
  • January 10: Beijing
  • January 12: Hong Kong
  • January 17: Sydney, Australia
  • January 20: Cape Town, South Africa
  • January 24: Buenos Aires, Argentina

Karaoke version of Wannabe because you know you want to sing along. You're welcome.

Avril Lavigne is multi-lingual!

A while back Avril released her single, "Girlfriend." With it she released different versions of the song to suit different countries. She sang the chorus in English, French, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese. I put them all together so you can listen and compare. Plus here are the lyrics so you too can be as worldly as Avril Lavigne. Sing along!

Before He Cheats Ringtone

As if she hasn't broken enough records, she breaks yet another. Carrie Underwood's hit song, Before He Cheats, has just gone platinum ring-tone. That's right. A million Before He Cheats ringtones are sounding off. The only other country song to actually achieve this is "The Duke's of Hazard" theme song. So in essence she is the only contemporary country artist who has accomplished this. Congratulations Carrie!

No Doubt

For all you No Doubt fans. The band is coming back! On her Sweet Escape tour, Gwen Stefani, gave her hometown of Orange County a bonus by coming back on stage for her encore with her beloved band mates. Hysteria followed as the band played several songs. A No Doubt record is definitely in the process but as to when it will come out is anyone's guess. Watch the MTV interview where Gwen says that it needs to happen fast and that she may even start writing songs for the band while on tour.

As soon as I can find out when the projected release date, I'll post it on here. But for now let's just enjoy some No Doubt to hold us off till their new record comes out.
