Too bad Katie Holmes

Looks like Tomâs career is not the only one going down.
Producers for Broadway’s All My Sons were hoping that having a big name celebrity in the show will help boost tickets sales, much like what Mario Lopez in A Chorus Line and Clay Aiken in Spamalot did.
According to news reports, ticket sales for Katieâs Broadway debut was far from what the producers expected. Producers are blaming the low ticket sales on Katie’s Dawson Creek days.
A unnamed source claims that âItâs not that Katieâs bad in the part. Sheâs good enough. The producers are just getting the feeling people still want to view Katie as sweet little Joey Potter.â
Like we would believe that; that showâs ancient history!
Jackie Green, a publicist “That information is totally false. There is a healthy advance for the show, and there is no chance of the run being shortened.”
Whatever. Donât cover up for her.

No commentsAubrey Talks Love

If you want to know how to get some attention, just ask Danity Kane attention whore Aubrey OâDay. I guess she got wind of how much attention Lindsay Lohanâs been getting when it comes to being gay as she told Broadway.com âAt this point in my life I wouldn’t say one way or another what my preference is sexually. The only thing I’m looking for in life is incredible passion and honest love, and if that’s with a girl, a guy, a guy that dresses like a girl, a girl that dresses like a guy, whatever the options are on the table, all I really operate on is the way I feel in my heart when it comes to love.â Itâs either youâre gay or youâre not. Thereâs nothing in the middle. Unless of course you can say that youâre bisexual.
Officer Jonas

Hello Officer! Joe Jonas of the latest boy band sensation the Jonas Brothers popped some bubble gum in his mouth while dressed as an NYPD officer around New York Cityâs Columbus Circle last week. The almost 19-year old cutie directed traffic as he shot a new scene for the groupâs 3D concert movie which will premiere on February 22, 2009. In another scene, Joe pretended to arrest someone and even slapped on a set of handcuffs on another cast member. Why does Joe play the mustache-sporting cop in all their videos? First the âBurning Upâ music video and now this. Maybe itâs some weird fascination of his.
No commentsMel B Renews Vows
Spice Girl Melanie Brown and music producer Stephen Belafonte are reportedly planning on renewing their wedding vows in a huge ceremony in Egypt later this year. The couple was quietly married on June 6, 2007 in Las Vegas, Nevada but after more than a year of marriage, they are ready to reaffirm their commitment. Her rep says âRegarding the marriage, Mel and Stephen have known each other for many years and were great friends first. Now they are deeply in love. The two are very happy together.â They were married quietly and now theyâre having a big wedding. Expect a lot of big names to attend the celebration.

Something to look forward to
What’s in a name? well, James McAvoy and Emily Blunt are about find out. Both parties are now in talks to as they’re in talks to lend their voices to the title roles of Gnomeo and Juliet. The film is a cartoon version of the Shakespeare classic, produced by Miramax and Elton John’s Rocket Pictures.
McAvoy and Blunt will play two star-crossed (lovers) gnomes, whose love for each other is complicated by the fact that they’re from opposite sides of the veggie patch.
The Juliet was originally offered to Kate Winslet but she was forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.
The filmâs producers originally planned and hoped for lyricist Tim Rice (The Lion King) team up who teamed with Sir Elton to write original tunes for Gnomeo. Instead, it looks like the film will mainly feature a number of Elton John’s classic songs. Rumors claim that some the songs to be used are âDon’t Go Breaking My Heart,” “Sad Songs” or “I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues”. They also are expecting John to write a couple of new tracks for the film slated for release in 2010.
Vanessa Hudgens Gets No Love

Thereâs something wrong going in your life when youâre booked to perform at a country fair with a load of American Idol rejects. Vanessa Hudgens needs to rethink a couple of things. Visitors to the Midland County Fair in Michigan were treated to the sites of Vanessa, former Disney star Raven Symone and American Idol alum Bucky Covington. Vanessa sang a few songs from the HSM soundtrack. According to reports, Vanessa also âdisplayed dance routines more adult in nature than the audience of mainly girls 10 and younger.â At the beginning of her set, Vanessa said, âThis is me, on my own terms.â Apparently, her terms suck. A concertgoer says Raven was better saying âShe was really funny, talking to us about her childhood. Vanessa was more into singing, but she wasn’t funny. She was really serious, and we could see her get all sweaty, too.â
Selena is Team Jonas
You scratch my back and Iâll scratch yours is something that Selena Gomez seems to believe in. After Kevin Jonas of the Jonas Brothers was spotted declaring his love via a Team Demi and Selena shirt, Selena is returning the favour.

Selena says âGo buy their album. And if youâve already bought it, buy another one. And if youâve already bought another one, buy another one after that!â

Madonna âdisappointedâ with her 50th birthday celebrations

Although many of the family members and friends attended Madonnasâs50th birthday but still she was âdisappointedâ when many of her invited guests failed to turn up.

Madonna hosted a sumptuous party at the elite Volstead nightclub in Mayfair.

No commentsSolange Knowles high

Solange Knowles claims people always think she is “high”.
The singer - the younger sister of former Destiny’s Child singer Beyonce - says her energy levels and sporadic speech patterns make people think she is on drugs. She said: âPeople think I’m high even when I’m sober.â
Solange also said she sometimes tells people silly lies to try to make them laugh.
She added: âI tell lies. Not proper lies, just little lies. I started telling them - jokes I should call them - when I was very young. I’ve always had a sense of humour but people haven’t always shared it.â
Solange recently revealed she has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), but refused to accept what she was told by her first doctor so went for a second opinion.
She said: âI was diagnosed with ADD twice. I didn’t believe the first doctor who told me and I had a whole theory that ADD was just something they invented to make you pay for medicine but then the second doctor told me I had it. I guess I was in denial. I don’t understand exactly what it is. The symptoms seem to apply to everyone around me in the industry - loss of memory, starting something and not finishing it.â

A rep says that they remain close friends and that their family is the priority and will continue to be.

No Puerto Rican Idols
If you said you were having American Idol auditions, you would expect a lot of people to show up right? In the case of Puerto Rico, forget it. American Idol held one of their typical open call auditions in San Juan, Puerto Rico recently and instead of the usual capacity crowds that line up practicing their awful renditions of tired Whitney Houston standards, El Nuevo Dia reports that only around 300 hopeful fool turned out. In contrast, 7,000 wannabes camped out overnight at auditions held in Northern California last month. In other words, donât expect any of the current American Idol champs to come out with any Spanish-language albums anytime soon.
