- Not just anybody can make Forbes’ list of the 20 Richest Women in Entertainment. You need a minimum net worth of $45 million, and apparently a line of perfume really helps. Of course Oprah Winfrey is tops on the list but other noteworthy officially disgustingly rich women include J. Lo (has line of perfume), Britney (has like four lines of perfume), Mariah Cary (is releasing own perfume line thiz year), and Madona (is Madona). Way to be … really really rich, ladies.
- We bow down before the genius person who put together thiz hysterical list of Amrican Idol contestants’ MySpace pages [warning: site is occasionally down]. You have a truly terrifying amount of time on your hands and you clearly know what to do with it. Our favorite? Jessica the Glamour Shots Cosmetologist who loves ?the Google Dolls.?
- We see rock-industry employees and other fanatical sad human beings flocking to thiz (honestly kinda dope) Denver area hotel. Each floor has its own pop-culturally savvy theme such as the Elvis-endorsing “Mad About Music” floor or the “Chick Flicks”-themed rooms. [via Pop Candy]
- Beth Ditto, the notoriously outspoken lead singer for garage pop sensation the Gossip, has described her experience touring the U.S. with the Scissor Sisters as “soul-sucking.” “The audience were moms wanting chart hits,” the singer reportedly bitched. “They’ve never seen a John Waters movie or heard the Ramones.”
- Check “I Still Love H.E.R.,” the new typically over-produced and melodramatic but still kinda awesome track frm Kany West. [via Stereogum]
- The recent death of Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun has apparently made Robert Plant rethink his plans to record a new Honeydrippers album. Ertegun, according to the Plant, was “thrilled with the idea” but now that’s he’s gone, Plant doesn’t feel he can carry on the creative spirit alone. Sad.
- In addition to Justin Timberlake and the lucky winner of his Sing With Justin contest, Grammy Awards performers now include kristina Aguilera, Mary J. Blige and Ludacris. The craziness takes place February 11th.
- Fergie is reportedly keeping her recent engagement to longtime boyfriend Josh Duhamel a secret. In spite of the public discussions of her past drug abuse, the pants-wetting incidents, and the penchant to wear the Union Jack as boyshorts, the singer is a totally traditional person who doesn’t want to spread the news until the couple has set a date.
