day 33

clarkson crawls back
click here to watch kelly clarkson's new vlog where she talks about her new single, "my life would suck without you," releasing january 19th and new album, which drops march 17th.  the star is quite blonde again (not my fave), but seems to be headed back to the pop life.  kelly's official site has also changed  - kellyclarkson.com is out and kellyofficial.com is in.  it seems that rather than redesign the old my december site, clarkson and her team would rather completely relaunch her image.  a leak of the new song is sure to hit the internets in the next couple of weeks (or days) and should be on the radio before the 19th.

demi does disney
in other music news, demi lovato's latest single, "la laland," has dropped and so has the video.  click here to check it out.  the song, which has a pink-meets-britney vibe, is set to be the theme to lovato's new disney channel show sonny with a chance, formerly known as welcome to mollywood (and welcome to holliwood).  the show is about a teen girl who wins a contest to become a regular on a teen sketch comedy series, somewhat like a 30 rock for the tween set.  former nickelodeon teen sketchcom all that actually conducted a "funniest kid in america" contest during its 2000's relaunch, making me think that's where the disney machine got the idea.  the show premieres february 27th on the disney channel and will probably be a big hit.  disney's new marketing scheme seems to be "make a star, then give them a starring vehicle."  lovato was cast in the disney channel original movie camp rock and then released a self-titled debut album on disney-owned hollywood records.  the network is similarly grooming the jonas bros, making them megastars on the same record label and giving them a show slated for may, jonas.  i don't know, but the jobro's show seems to be unnecessary and a back step for the group - they've already conquered the world, why make a kidcentric show and alienate some of the older fans/dumb them down.

today's a relatively boring day in the hollyhood...but chances are something will be stirred up tonight, so check back for sunday's news.
