David Letterman is branching out from invading TV screen to becoming a music mogul. The talk-show host has formed a record label called Clear Entertainment/C.E. Music and signed a pop-punk band Runner Runner as his first act.
The band’s tracks “Unstoppable” and “So Obvious” are already out for fans’ listening pleasure. The five-piece band are currently working on their debut album which is slated for summer release later this year. Moreover, they will go on a tour starting next month.
The album will be released under the partnership of David’s newly-formed label and EMI Music’s Capitol Records. More detailed info about his first signee, including listening to their music and obtaining their tour dates, can be checked on Runner Runner’s MySpace.
Pop star/actress Jessica Simpson only brushes her teeth three times a week – because she doesn’t want to mess with the whiteness. The singer and “Dukes of Hazzard” star regularly flosses and uses mouthwash to keep her breath fresh – but she refuses to brush daily with toothpaste.
Appearing on Wednesday’s April 28 “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in America, Simpson says, “My teeth are so white and I don’t like them to feel too slippery, but I do use Listerine and I do floss everyday. But, I don’t brush them everyday.”
And even then, Jessica Simpson is reluctant to use a toothbrush. The songstress told the talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres, “I’ll use a shirt or something. I know it’s gross but I always have fresh breath.”
One of Tiger Woods’ former mistresses has landed her own reality TV dating show. Waitress Jaimie Grubbs will lead a cast of other celebrity mistresses, who are looking for real love.
Details of the other ladies involved in the show, which will be presented by U.S. TV personality Michelle Harris, are being kept under wraps. Harris’ spokeswoman tells WENN, “It’s going to be a show full of drama.” The title of the dating programme has yet to be confirmed.
Previously, another mistress of Tiger Woods, Jamie Jungers, was also offered a TV career by hosting “Celebrity Cheaters” along with Jesse James’ mistress Michelle McGee. “We’re not publicizing them in a good way, we’re just showing them off as being home wreckers,” said producer Bobby Goldstein. However, there is no official word for this either.
There’s joy in Hollywood tonight, the 138 acres behind the Hollywood sign will go into a public land trust. The hotly contested land on Cahuenga Peak is zoned for luxury homes and there was fear that it would be sold to developers if $12.5 million wasn’t raised to buy and protect the land. And here’s where good old Hugh steps in. Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner made a $900,000 donation at the last minute so that the conservation group “Trust for Public Land” could buy the land. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said that Hefner was the final donor. Schwarzenegger was quoted in the LA Times praising the donation and result as “the Hollywood ending we hoped for.”
Hefner released a statement calling the Hollywood sign Hollywood’s Eiffel Tower and “an important cultural landmark.” Other donations came from Arianne Getty, Tiffany & Co. jewelers, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. The sign itself is owned by Los Angeles but the land behind it belonged to investors who could have sold the rights to build four luxury mansions along the ridgeline for a tidy fortune (they were hoping for $22 million). The land will now be become part of the 4,200-acre Griffith Park sprawl. Recently the conservation group covered the Hollywood sign so that it instead read “Save the Peak.”
Clive Davis and Cissy Houston need to stage another intervention because the hideous reviews keep coming in about the London stint of Whitney Houston’s comeback tour. UK’s Daily Mail called her: Bloated, bedraggled, and out of tune. Fans are demanding refunds for tickets as well. Well have a listen for yourself:
Nixon keeps a decidedly different profile from the usual array of high-end luxury wristwatches we cover, appealing less to the stock broker than to his skater son. But this year the brand has teamed up with the organizers of one of the most hyped-up cross-country rally of exotic automobiles to present a series of special editions under the Nixon x Gumball banner.
The Rubber Player watch pictured above comes in matte black silicon with gold accents on the caseback, crown and dial, and sells for a modest $200. It’s joined by a more exclusive version of the company’s 51-30 wristwatch which will only be provided to rally participants, as well as special edition “e Whip” and “e Wire” headphones made especially for the event at $60 and $75, respectively. They’re available at Nixon retailers along the rally’s route through London, Amsterdam, Boston, Montreal, Toronto and New York, among others. This year’s Gumball 3000 kicks off in London on May 1.
Young Jeezy is going to a nightclub and partying hard in a music video for his track “Lose My Mind”. “I need a Louis Vuitton straitjacket,” he previously joked about what he wanted to wear when shooting the video in Miami.
“Lose My Mind” is a track taken from Jeezy’s upcoming fourth studio album “Thug Motivation 103″ which will be released later this year. The music video features a cameo appearance from Plies. It is directed by TAJ and was filmed in black and white scenes.
Beside shooting video for his own song, Young Jeezy has also filmed visuals for Fat Joe’s track “(Ha Ha) Slow Down” which has him lending his vocal. “The video is going down movie-style, if the hip-hop police let us,” Joe told MTV. “We in Harlem. We gonna touch that town. Me and Jeezy gonna have Puff surfin’ on the ‘hood of the Phantom Drop. That New York Diddy bop. Jeezy coming through with that A-Town stomp.
Apparently this time she’s going a little more urban with it as well. Lindsay Lohan recently wrote on Twitter about being inspired by Madonna in her new studio album. The “Mean Girls” actress opened up that the track which has Madonna influence is written by Kara DioGuardi and J.R. Rotem.
Lindsay also confirms she will hook up with rapper Snoop Dogg in another song. “Snoop dogg is on it… and i can’t say the others yet!! kara d and jr rotem wrote a track that has a madonna undertone.. shhhh lol,” she tweeted.
If you’ve been pining for the Audi RS5, we’ve got good news for you, whichever side of the Atlantic you’re living in. European deliveries of Audi’s 444-horsepower V8 super-coupe are set to begin in June. And according to the latest reports, the RS5 will, in the end, make it to North America, though it could take a little while.
European prices peg the sticker for a new RS5 at 65,300, translating to about $88,000 in American exchange and representing a 32.4% increase over the S5 on which it is based. Apply the same formula to the S5 in the United States, however, and the relative price comes out closer to $70k. However sources indicate that Audi doesn’t expect to sell many RS5s in the US, and will therefor only bring them over fully equipped. So expect to see a price closer to $75,000 when it reaches an Audi dealer near you.
Leave it up to Wendy Williams to bring up the Kim Kardashian/Ray J sex tape. A subject that clearly still makes Ray J uncomfortable by the way he’s looking on the clip.
You already know mama Norwood is over the whole Kardashian clan.
