And how sad it didn’t come from a singer. This is the worst season thus far, not only are they boring but their song choice is as bas as their voices. Is it May yet?
But back to the video clip, thank you Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell for reminding me why I watch American Idol!!!
Sir Paul McCartney is dumping the record label he has used for 43 years in a move which will prevent Heather Mills from earning millions from his future recordings. The former Beatle is turning his back on Capital/EMI – who he has been with since the Beatles's first album in 1964 – and is penning a deal with a new label run by coffee makers Starbucks. In recent months, Sir Paul has been offered a £25 million advance for his next four albums from Capital/EMI. Being an advance which is payable immediately, Heather would have been able to stake a claim to half of it as part of their ongoing divorce. Industry sources claim that point was pivotal in Sir Paul's decision to let the deal lapse and refuse to renegotiate with the label so that Heather would not have access to the earnings. The pair are battling it out for McCartney's £825 million fortune after splitting last May. Signing the new deal with Starbucks will also save him some £12.5 million – a half share – of the advance Capital/EMI would have paid out for a four-album deal. Sir Paul is now set to release his new album this autumn with Starbucks. He will be the first artist to sign with US-based coffee chain's new Hear Music record label. A source claimed record executives at Capitol were devastated by the news. "They knew it was coming," the source said. "They did nothing for the Chaos album, and they were reminded that McCartney's entire contract was ending." Sir Paul's departure is especially fascinating because ever since the Beatles joined Capitol, all their albums and all their solo albums have come from the label. Capitol's association with the group since they broke up in 1970 has always been key to the organisation. Sir Paul's Wings albums were with the label, as was John Lennon's Imagine, George Harrison's All Things Must Pass and Ringo Starr's Ringo! Even Sean Lennon has released a Capitol album. But all that may change now that McCartney has flown the coop, according to record industry experts. "Starbucks has proven to be a much more effective seller of CDs and DVDs than record stores, thanks to their amazing retailing and branding," an industry source said. "Starbucks customers have come to regard non-coffee product merchandise as hip and attractive, while record companies have been unable to reach customers at all in recent years."
You know Capitol is sh!tting a brick because this will probaly be the end of them. But good for him for screwing Heather out of money she doesn't deserve. Plus Starbucks is a good fit for his recent music.
According to Bang Showbiz there are rumors that Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi are planning a June wedding.
Portia has been pressuring Ellen to settle down according a source, "Portia demanded that Ellen marry her. After lots of talk and plenty of hints, Portia finally confronted Ellen right after the Oscars about making a commitment." The source added: "Ellen's hiatus starts at the end of May, and her show doesn't start up again until August. That gives Ellen some much-needed time with her new bride. They're still discussing a honeymoon location, but at this point Portia would just be happy at home enjoying their estate. Ellen is very happy too. All her dreams are coming true."
The two are rumored to be getting married at the house that they share which I think is so romantic. Hopefully their marriage will last and Ellen will not have another Anne Heche.
The Who and Roger Daltrey were playing their first song at The Tampa Ampitheater last night when Roger Daltrey just walked off the stage. After several minutes of an empty stage Pete Townsend came out and said that the show was canceled. He told the audience, "I just talked to Roger and he can barely speak. I tried to get him to come out here, but he's really, really sick." According to AAP the crowd cheered when Townsend then announced the show was rescheduled for March 25th. I understand why he did what he did, but I would be p!ssed if I were at that show.
