day 26

hudson halts headstart
jennifer hudson has decided to not film the music video for her next single after all.  the singer is said to still be too distraught from the october deaths of her mother, brother, and nephew. while the killer, hudson's brother-in-law, is behind bars, the singer-actress does not want to step into the public eye quite yet.  this means the next time we see the former idol contestant would be the hugh jackman helmed oscars in february.  hudson won the best supporting actress award for her role in dreamgirls two years ago and, as an oscar nominee/winner, she is invited to the awards show each year.  how do you think gary busey gets to go every year?

jessica simpson, labeless
jessica simpson may be without a place to record music in the near future.  the singer-actress is said to be this close to being dropped from columbia/epic/columbia-nashville records.  the tabloid staple most recently released a country effort, do you know, debuted at number one on the country and pop charts, but slowly faded away after that.  neither of her singles, "come on over" and "remember that," have really taken off. it seems like neither the pop or country markets are really taking the singer seriously, most likely because of her public image.  if the singer is not dropped from her label, she is set to open for Rascall Flats on the 2009 "bob that head" tour.  even if the singer is dropped, another label is sure to pick her up.  and she always has her ever growing fashion and accessory lines to keep her going...

richie to record
after years of speculation, nicole richie is finally said to have an album in the works.  the reality show star, tabloid target, heiress, and new mom is supposedly working with current pop princess rihanna and kelly osbourne. she is probably working with her famous father, lionel, as well.  no other news is known - no release date, no known label, and no known songs. the album will probably come on in the next year or so though.  click here to listen to a leaked demo track, "dandelion," from a few years back from the star.  the song is a cover of a single from 90s boy band LFO, the singers of such classics as "summer girls (abercrombie and fitch)."  

united kingdom: home of fake news
over the past couple of days, publications overseas have been releasing completely fabricated stories.  the first of which is an alleged interview scarlet johannson supposedly have with cosmo, uk.  the cover story was completely made up - scarjo never even met with anyone at the magazine.  so, if you hear any quotes from the actress talking about her recent marriage to fellow canadian ryan reynolds...don' believe them.  scarlet has never been one to talk about her personal life and continues to be that way.  the second story is about kanye west taking a break from the recording industry to work as a fashion intern.  the daily mirror reported that the rapper was to work the low-man-on-the-totem-pole position at fashion house louis vuitton, which is completely untrue.  if kanye were to step into the fashion world, it would probably be his own line (think sean jean) or a collaboration with an american design firm.
