Beyonce’s next album may send her to the Country Music Awards. Rumor has it that Ms. Knowles is looking to record a country album in the near future. She must have really enjoyed performing a Nashville-style rendition of “Irreplaceable” with country music group Sugarland at the American Music Awards last Sunday in Los Angeles.
A source close to Beyonce says: “She is a big fan of country music and thought that would be an interesting and exciting way to go. She tested the waters at the American Music Awards last weekend and she is up for it.”
It seems Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag have put their differences aside and ended their celebrity feud. The Hills stars were seen together the weekend before Halloween getting into Lauren’s black Mercedes convertible, which was parked in the garage of Lauren’s building, a source tells Star. “They were laughing, hugging and being very affectionate with one another,” says the source.
“There were no MTV cameras around,” the source adds. “This seemed like the real deal. I saw Heidi coming to visit Lauren at her apartment without her fiancé Spencer Pratt.”
So why the low-key meeting? “I think Lauren and Heidi made a secret pact not to tell anyone,” the source says. After all, The Hills thrives on drama from their falling out. Things will heat up on Monday’s episode though when Lauren and Heidi have a face-to-face talk. Considering that Lauren tells Heidi, “I want to forgive you, and I want to forget you,” in a video preview of the episode, it doesn’t seem like an on-screen reconciliation is imminent.

Well well well. This won’t help all those accusations that MTV’s The Hills is completely staged. But I don’t know, it’s been a while since that sex tape rumor fiasco went down, so maybe they are actually trying to reconcile.
A red robe with the number 25 on the back that Ciara wore at the end of 2007 BET Awards performance had people in the blogosphere talkin. People were sayin stuff like it meant half of 50 (25+25=50 Cent) or that it was for Reggie Bush (whose number is 25)…. Well Ciara cleared everything up this week when she told MTV in an interview that the “25″ was to poke fun at her ranking on BET’s Top 25 Dancers of All Time. She placed behind people like Beyonce, Missy Elliott, hell even DIDDY!? (WTF?) BET knows they were wrong for that one, so shout out for Ci for keepin it real.

So if you haven’t heard, word is that a sex tape featuring Lauren Conrad of MTV’s reality-hit The Hills and her ex-boyfriend Jason Wahler will be hitting the Internet anyday now. Sources say that Jason is trying to sell the tape before he heads off to jail, and if no one purchases it, he will post it on the ‘net for free. Damn dude! He must be desperate. Anyway, of course Lauren is denying the tape’s existence, but so did Kim Kardashian (skeet skeet!)…

Do you think R&B singer Cassie is expecting? She sure has a lot of extra ‘baggage’ in this picture, and she even has that pregnant woman’s glow (CLICK THE IMAGE TO JUDGE):
According to Starpulse, rapper/producer Jermaine Dupri hopes to tie the knot with Janet Jackson soon. Starpulse reports that Jermaine met up with Senator Barack Obama at a recent party and said that Janet writes him “the sweetest love notes.” Check it out:
Dupri met up with Senator Obama at a party in New York last week and the subject matter quickly turned to Ms. Jackson.
Confiding in the presidential hopeful, Dupri told Obama, he’s “definitely” marrying Janet, and “can’t wait to make a baby with her.”
A fellow party guest, who overheard the chat, tells Life & Style magazine, “Barack told him he’s a lucky man, and Jermaine replied, `You have no idea! She takes good care of me… She writes me poems.’”

Now remember, this is just a rumor so don’t it take it too seriously. But I don’t know, Jermaine and Janet have been together for a minute now, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they decided to walk down the aisle soon.

Word is that Bobby Brown is pitching a new reality dating show to various networks. Brown, who is in the middle of a divorce with Whitney Houston, hopes to find a new love of his life among 20 young female hopefuls. Sound familiar to anyone? The working title of the show is Dating Bobby Brown, and if you remember, Bobby Brown had reality show success a couple of years ago with his hit Being Bobby Brown. I kinda hope someone picks this show up. I bet this would be even funnier than both seasons of Flavor of Love.

This is what Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson had to say on her Myspace about all those crazy rumors about her that have been floating around lately:
1.) i turned down a movie role for 3 million dollars because of a nude scene and i wasnt the person getting nude. nothing about that is true. i want to do my album. and my fans have waited so patiently for me to put out an album and i appreciate everyone of you, thats why im focused on putting out my first project. and yes i will continue to still do movies.
2.) all of the american idol stuff and burger king comments. i never said anything about if i was better at burger king i would not be there either. and yes i did say american idol was a stepping stone. which it is! i didnt mean it in a bad way. and as i said in my previous interviews american idol is a stepping stone because had it not been for them no one would of knew of a jennifer hudson to call to audition for dreamgirls! its like everything i say referring to the show gets twisted around and makes me look like im being arrogant and a “diva”, since alot of people seems to have that opinion about me and that is not me at all. im not bothered by these rumors because im use to it but i do read the boards and i see my fans are upset by some of the negative rumors concerning me and that is what hurts me the most is to see people who care about me being impacted by all of this.
3.) the soul train awards show and me trying to sabotoge it by not showing up. only thing i can say to this is that i was there! and i appreciate being honored there just as much as i appreciated being honored at the all the award shows i attended. but once again im just writing this for my fans, supporters, and friends who want to know the truth. i am a person with feelings and although i have been warned that things like this would happen to me. and since i am new to this let me be the first to tell you that i have sat back not to long ago just like you guys .I read things about my favorite artist and let me tell you since im experiencing this first hand you guys cant believe everything you read because its not true. o one more thing. im grateful for all my blessings and i thank God for it everyday and no amount of fame will ever go to my head and make me think that im better than anyone because we are all equal. and as quickly as God gave everything he has given me he can take it away!

Word is Eddie Murphy and his date Tracey Edmonds abruptly left the Oscars after Alan Arkin beat him out for the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in Little Miss Sunshine. Whoa! I guess Eddie was pissed, but I really don’t blame him because the Oscars were so boring. He probably just wanted to see if he was gonna win, and then bounce.

Blogs and websites galore have been reporting that MTV’s TRL (Total Request Live) had been cancelled. I wanted to find out the real truth behind these rumors, and I came across an article by Kenny Herzog over at CMJ.COM that may clear things up. Here’s an excerpt:
“There is no truth to the rumors about TRL, MTV2 and VH1 Classic going away,” states David Bittler, a spokesperson for MTV Networks. “Some of the staff have been let go from positions within those networks, but those networks will continue. And from the consumer’s point of view, there will be no changes to the programming on those networks or on [TRL].”
So there you go. Looks like TRL is here to stay. I still have yet to find out if the rumors of Vanessa Minnillo’s depature are true, so if you know anything please e-mail me!
Tyrese unleashes his rapping alter ego, Black Ty, in the new single “Roll The Dice.” The song features Snoop Dogg & Kurupt, and you can listen to it below.
He also responded to all those rumors about the alleged physical altercation between him and his girlfriend. Here’s what he had to say:
“I am a very private person but as untrue information is still circulating, I feel I owe it to my fans and supporters to finally address the rumors and put them to rest once and for all. Please be assured that accusations of an alleged physical altercation between my girlfriend and me are absolutely false. No charges were filed. I am grateful for the prayers and support I have received over the last several weeks from my fans and supporters and I want to thank them. God Bless.”

This news is a bit old, but I’m posting it anyway because some of you may not know about it. You may remember this chick Esmee Denters from a Random YouTube Clip I posted a while back (see: This Girl Can SANG!) She became a “YouTube celebrity,” as her videos are among the most watched of all-time on the website. The girl really has talent, and word is she may be working with Ryan Leslie. He’s a good producer, and you probably know him best from the work he did with Cassie. Regardless, Esmee can really sing, and I know that whatever she puts out will be hot. If you want to check out her YouTube videos, click here.
