8 New Songs On Lady Gaga's Re-Release Of The Fame


Lady Gaga is set to release The Fame Monster, which is a re-release of her 4 million selling album The Fame. The same songs on the debut album along with eight new tracks will hit shelves on November 24, 2009.

Lady Gaga recently spoke about the album saying, "On my re-release 'The Fame Monster', I wrote about everything I didn't write on 'The Fame'. While traveling the world for two years, I've encountered several monsters, each represented by a different song on the new record: my ‘Fear of Sex Monster,’ my ‘Fear of Alcohol Monster,’ my ‘Fear of Love Monster,’ my ‘Fear of Death Monster,’ my ‘Fear of Loneliness Monster,’ etc.”

“I spent a lot of nights in Eastern Europe, and this album is a pop experimentation with industrial/Goth beats, 90's dance melodies, an obsession with the lyrical genius of 80's melancholic pop, and the runway. I wrote while watching muted fashion shows and I am compelled to say my music was scored for them. I also composed a ballad for the album, "Speechless", a song for my father, and it's my favorite work of all. I wrote every piece on the road - no songs about money, no songs about fame. I wrote it for my fans, so I wrote everything in between."

The first club-banging single, the RedOne-produced "Bad Romance", will be released in early November. Other collaborators on the new tracks include Teddy Riley, Rodney Jerkins, Ron Fair and Fernando Garibay.

Gaga is doing her thing! I will be downloading these new tracks on iTunes. Do you plan to buy the re-release or just buy the new tracks?

Avril Lavigne Wants A Divorce

Avril Lavigne has filed for divorce from Deryck Whibley. She cites "irreconcilable differences." According to the docs, Avril says they separated on Sept. 4th and were married 3 years and 1 month.

Avril is not asking for spousal support -- probably because she's the breadwinner -- and she also checked the box in the docs saying she doesn't want to have to pay Deryck any money.

New Music: Leighton Meester - Somebody To Love



The Gossip Girl actress, Leighton Meester really wants to become a singer huh? She doesn't bring much to the table. The song is okay. If she didn't get help from Robin Thicke then I think this wouldn't be that good. So keep trying Leighton and step your game up or stick to Gossip Girl.

Michael's Kids To Be Featured In Family Reality Show


Michael Jackson's kids will be featured in his family's new reality show. I don't know how I feel about this.. Michael kept them away from the spotlight for a reason. The world is doing fine without seeing them. They need to grow up with family and not be bothered with the media.

The show is suppose to be on A&E and was originally about the brothers and them recording an album and prepping for tour. MJ's sister Rebbie will not take part in the show (no suprise she's stayed out the media all her life). A source tells Us Weekly that Rebbie feels Michael would "spin in his grave if he knew his kids would be on this show."

The show was in the works before Michael's death and wasn't of much interested until he passed away. No surprise there.
Executive producer Jodi Gomes tells Us Weekly that the family will come off well in "The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty," set to air in December. "They've done a great job opening up about losing a brother." They aren't stupid, they know what works when your getting paid.

Would you watch this show? This isn't smart for Michael's kids to be on the show. They have been hidden for a reason. Oh Michael is flipping in heaven, I know it.

Orianthi Performs Her "Beat It" Solo

Don't sleep on Orianthi the girl's got skills. She stopped by KIIS-FM studios in Los Angeles to talk about her upcoming album, Believe. Radio host JoJo convinced the Australian beauty to play the "Beat It" solo on camera - the same solo that won her the spot as lead guitarist on Michael Jackson's comeback tour. JoJo and Orianthi also demonstrated the three guitar tricks every player must know in order to shred like a pro - watch those HERE.
I love her! I think I found my favorite new artist!!

MTV’s “Gone Too Far”, a one-hour documentary series hosted and developed by the DJ AM, airing at 10pm ET/PT. The series chronicles young addicts between the ages of 20-25 in the grip of addiction who are offered a chance at recovery.

New Music: Orianthi - According To You


Guitar goddess Orianthi's debut single "According to You" is now streaming on MySpace! "According to You" is an anthem about moving on from a bad relationship to a great one, and - in true Orianthi style - features an impressive guitar solo.
Orianthi began playing guitar at the age of 11, and since then has performed with an impressive roster of musicians. She was discovered by Carlos Santana and has played with legends like Steve Vai, ZZ Top, and Prince, and stole the show from Carrie Underwood at the most recent Grammys. While recording her debut album, Believe, Orianthi was chosen as the lead guitarist for Michael Jackson's comeback tour. Believe will hit stores on October 27th.
