Adam Lambert might not have won American Idol this year, but he was the first to release his first solo singles. Not just one but two of them apparently with Time For Miracles from the 2012 soundtrack and For Your Entertainment from his solo record.
However, now it seems the American Idol winner Kris Allen is catching up. On Friday, he released his first music video for the first single off of his record due out November 17th. The video is for Live Like You’re Dying, and apparently this was his first ever music video. An exciting life since he won American Idol, but the runner up isn’t doing too bad since the series ended.
American Idol returns this January to Fox with all new judge Ellen Degeneres taking over for Paula Abdul. Check out Kris Allen’s video below.
Rihanna has had one busy week this week. Actually the last month for her has been insanely busy. The singer released Russian Roulette just a few weeks ago, and now another single has hit with a video. This one is called Wait Your Turn. Yes, she is seen with an eye patch on this one. Not only is she moving on with her music, but she is also opening up about the incident that happened earlier this year between her and Chris Brown.
She is set to tell ABC all about the incident and the impact it has had on her life. Things have certainly changed in her life this year. Her music even has an edgier feel to it. Could that relate to what happened to her? Check out her new music video for Wait Your Turn below. What do you think? Is it hot or not? For myself, I’ve never been her biggest fan, but I can admit she looks good!
Another Monday has arrived, and that means it is time to look at what happened at the box office this weekend. There was only one major film released last week, and that was Michael Jackson’s This Is It. Numbers for the release weren’t as impressive as many thought they would be. This Is It did manage to claim the top spot for the weekend from Paranormal Activity, which managed to come out on top of the box office in its fifth week of release. Over the weekend, This Is It managed to bring in $21.3 million. Paranormal was a close second with $16.5 million.
While there was only one release last week, we have four movies headed into theaters this week. The ones that might be of interest are the new version of A Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz’s The Box. Two others also come out this week, and before their promos starting hitting my television last week, I had no idea about The Fourh Kind or The Men Who Stare At Ghosts. That last one is a new one with George Clooney, and there seems to be a huge push for it with advertising right now.
As for other releases, on DVD we have G.I. Joe hitting store shelves along with The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 and I I Love You, Beth Cooper. Television fans will have the first season of The Clone Wars to pick up. As far as music goes, there are a large number of new releases on CD hitting store shelves including new music from Carrie Underwood, Weezer and Morrissey. Check out below for a full list of this week’s releases. Continue Reading »
Happy November! Did all of you remember to turn your clocks back last night? At least the ones that had to do that! I have not one but two new music videos for you this morning. These two were both released late this week, and they are hot and will surely scream up the music video charts.
The first is the duet by Jay-z & Alicia Keys for Empire State Of Mind. The two performed this song at game two of the World Series earlier this week, and a couple of days later the music video hit. They are an interesting pairing, but not a bad one at all. The song is their tribute to New York City. Check that video out below!
For the other new offering this week, Shakira has the video out for her second single off of her record release, She- Wolf. Do It Again is a sexy video with some amazing dance moves. On a bed no less! Yes, clothes were fully on, but she has always amazed me with how well she moves. Check that video out here!
What do you think of these two new music videos? Hot or not?
You wouldn’t think a CD cover would cause any trouble, but appparently one has. Adam Lambert released the cover for his first CD earlier this week. The CD, which is set for release on November 23rd, is titled For Your Entertainment, and the cover shows him glammed up and ready to party. He took to his Twitter to defend the cover this week.
Thank you to those who appreciate and understand that the album cover is deliberately campy. It’s an [homage] to the past. It IS ridiculous. For those that don’t get it: oh well… Glad to have gotten your attention.
It looks like he is already moving on from it. He debuted the first single from the new CD, the title track, today on Ryan Seacrest’s Morning Radio Show, and the song is a funky disco inspired track truly fitting of that glam CD cover. It is now available to listen to as a stream on Adam Lambert’s official website .
The singer just released his first solo single earlier this month, Time For Miracles. That is included on the 2012 soundtrack. Check that out on the stream from his site as well!

Fans of Twilight are impatiently waiting for the premiere of their next movie next month. Things are starting to go crazy in the world of Twilight, and the fans want New Moon now. Not yesterday, but right now. They don’t have long to wait, and until the movie is out, they will find their fix somehow. The three main stars are already starting to make the circuits of talk shows. Yes, already. Just this week, we have three new character posts for the three main stars of the movie - Jacob, Bella and Edward.
Great looking posters for sure. I’m not much of a Twilight fan, but even I have to admit Taylor Lautner is a cutie, and he’s been seen out on the arm lately of another cutie, Taylor Swift. Yes, she is 19, but no one seems to be saying anything about her running around with a 17 year old now!
Check out the posters below. What do you think? Are you ready for New Moon?
Another Monday has arrived, and this weekend, we had a bit of a shocker at the box office. This should have been the weekend Saw VI ruled the box office with just a little less than week to Halloween. That series of movies always tops the box office in its first weekend of its release, but that didn’t happen this year. A movie that has already been out in theaters a month managed to come from the bottom of the charts in that time to finally reach number one.
Paranormal Activity is getting fantastic word of mouth advertising, and with Halloween just a few days away now, more and more are going to see just what the movie is all about. The movie managed to pull in $22 million this weekend. Paramount is already talking sequel for this one. As for Saw VI, it managed to come in second place with $14.8 million at the box office in its opening weekend. The other two releases this weekend, Astro Boy and Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, came in far down the charts at sixth and eight places.
As for the week ahead, there is one movie hitting theaters this weekend, and it is making an early release on Wednesday. Michael Jackson’s This Is It finally hits theaters, and something tells me we will see it hit number one this weekend. The soundtrack to the movie is also being released this weekend. As for DVD releases, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and new music from Creed also hit store shelves this week. Check out a full list of releases below.
Looks like it is a bit of a Bon Jovi weekend here on Celebrity Today. Yesterday, I talked about their new world tour and the premiere of their documentary on Showtime, When We Were Beautiful, which is also the title of one of the songs on their new album The Circle. I admit fully to being a fan of this rock band from Jersey. I have been a fan of theirs practically since the beginning. I remember hearing Runaway on the radio, even if I was only eight years old. Twenty-five years, Jon Bon Jovi has worked hard to put his vision out there with his band mates. He is their leader, and this band was his vision.
In this documentary that first premiered at Tribeca back in April, takes us into their lives for a brief period of time at the end of their last tour for their record Lost Highway. We see them on the road and on stage as they talk candidly about their lives and what it is like to be in a rock band. Jon himself calls it a lonely existence. He and his bandmates are taken from their families each and every tour for weeks at a time, and at the end of the day all they want is to go home to their families. Jon is married and the father of four kids. His band mates have families of their own.
When We Were Beautiful takes us on a journey through their lives, and we see being a rock star isn’t all glamour and perfection. It is a lot of hard work, and Jon Bon Jovi is the one in control of it all. An intimate look at the man and his friends that have been by his side from the very beginning, and if it was even possible it made me love this band I already love even more.
If you’re a fan of Bon Jovi then this news will be exciting for you. The band is getting ready to release its next studio album in the weeks ahead. Looks like those in the UK will get that first on November 2nd with a US release date of November 10th. On Thursday, the band announced from the parking lot of the new arena being built in their home state of New Jersey that they were getting ready to embark on a world tour that would take them around the globe for the next two years. They will start off on the west coast in February and then go around the world with even a residency at the O2 in London thrown in there somewhere.
Their first single from The Circle, We Weren’t Born To Follow, has been climbing up the charts, and it was even picked as the song for Major League Baseball’s post season, which is soon coming to a close. Jon Bon Jovi’d documentary that follows what this band has been about for the last twenty-five years is premiering on Showtime tonight, October 24th, and the documentary itself will be included as a DVD released with the new album. The documentary gives us a look at just what the life of this rock star has been for the last quarter of a century. Check out Bon Jovi.com for tour dates and check out the trailer for When We Were Beautiful below.
Yet another American Idol alum is releasing their album soon, and this one will be the first for Adam Lambert, who came in second during this year’s competition. The song leaked earlier this week, but the official video for Time For Miracles hit the Internet on Tuesday. This one is from the soundtrack for 2012, which is set for release on November 13th.
In this month’s issue of Details Magazine, the singer has a sexy photoshoot that might be worth a look. Lambert came out as gay shortly after the American Idol competition ended this year. His record, For Your Entertainment, is set for a November 23rd release date. For more of the racy Details photo shoot, go here.
There’s a feeling of entitlement [with the fans] because they voted to get us where we are. But you know what? I am responsible for what I created on the show – you voted for what I created, and thank you, but I created it, you didn’t.
