British singer Lily Allen is getting geared up for the release of her second album and in a recent interview with UK’s Observer, Lily revealed that she is off the sauce and drugs. Gee, I wonder how long that will last. Lily also revealed that she hasn’t had a drink since the end of September. Maybe that’s why she was nice to Britney Spears and hasn’t been making an ass of herself lately. Apparently, Lily wasn’t too pleased when she got portrayed as a drunk in a comic book. Lily did say that she’s not completely swearing off the stuff saying “I have no intention of taking drugs again at the moment. But I can’t say ‘Never again,’ because I don’t know where I’ll be in 10 years’ time. And I will definitely drink in the future, just not for awhile.”

Kelly Clarkson has reportedly finished recording her fourth album and her new single is said to be called ‘My Life Would Suck Without You’. Producer Dr. Luke told EW that she will be back with a new song as early as next month. He also said “This one, which I think is the first single, we had the chorus a while ago and added the verse more recently. They were going to have it out on Nov. 20, but it just got too late. So now they’re thinking Dec. 8 for a worldwide release, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that ends up being early January.”

Britney Spears will be perform in the UK abet on a TV show and not live of stage as of now. She will however perform live on stage in June of 2009. I’m sure her fans in England would love to see her perform live much sooner.

It would be safe to say that she is well on course for a full and successful comeback now and the miseries of the last 2 years are well behind her now and hopefully it stays like that. I was complete rubbish from her during that period and everyday celebrity news consisted of her involved in a mishap or something awful.

Spears, it is said will be singing her new song ‘Womanizer’ on TV, a song which she has recorded as part of her soon to be released album ‘Cricus’.

If this album manages to succeed the way her previous album have then it would surely put her back on the path of being called amongst the greatest modern artists of her time.
Cheers to her successful comeback.

Drew Seeley teamed up with Alvin, Simon and Theodore on the new and upbeat version of the song ‘Shake Your Groove Thing’ which was originally sang by vocalist duo Peaches & Herb. Collaborating with Alvin and the Chipmunks, the new rendition of the high-energy dance track is one of four new original songs that are featured on a new Chipmunks CD. The album is called ‘Undeniable’ and it has already hit stores this past November 4th. The CD also has all of your all time favorite Alvin and the Chipmunks classics. Drew’s other song ‘New Classic’ which comes from ‘Another Cinderella Story’ was in the Radio Disney Music Mail Bag on November 1st.

Britney Spears has recently released the cover as well as the track listing for her upcoming album ‘Circus’ via her official website BritneySpears.com. The album is scheduled to drop in stores on December 2nd, the same day as her birthday. There are 12 songs on the album with a 13th track being a bonus song. The list goes as follows: ‘Womanizer’, ‘Circus’, ‘Out From Under’, ‘Kill the Lights’, ‘Shattered Glass’, ‘If U Seek Amy’, ‘Unusual You’, ‘Blur’, ‘Mmm Papi’, ‘Mannequin’, ‘Lace and Leather’, ‘My Baby’ and ‘Radar’. If the rest of her album receives as much attention as her single ‘Womanizer’, we can officially say that Britney has successfully made her comeback.

Miley Cyrus has a fun collaboration in the works with her older half-brother Trace Cyrus who happens to be the front man for Metro Station. Trace tells PopEater that “[We] worked on a song together called ‘Hovering’. [Miley] just informed me that we might do a music video for that and push towards alternative radio. It’s kind of a more rock, edgy song for her, but I love the song. It’s great.” Let’s hope that what he said of the song rings true because otherwise, it will just be another reason for me to call Miley a poser. ‘Hovering’ will be featured on the platinum-edition of Miley’s ‘Breakout’ album which is due to drop in stores on November 18th.

American Idol champ David Cook’s album is soon to be released. It’s scheduled to drop on November 18th. Check out the new album cover for it! The track list has also been revealed.

Well, we all know how ‘Light On’ sounds. I can’t wait to hear the rest of his stuff!

Their new album may have been pushed back until December 16th but you can still listen to a new song from Fall Out Boy’s new album ‘Folie a Deux’. The song ‘What a Catch, Donnie’ is a beautiful anthem ballad about life and finding acceptance. It really reminds me of an Elton John song. I’m not sure if it’s going to be a single but I think it should. The song features a lot of other musicians including Panic at the Disco’s Brendon Urie, Cobra Starship’s Gabe Saporta, The Academy Is’ William Beckett, Gym Class Heroes’ Travis McCoy singing a couple of Fall Out Boy’s classic songs towards the end. Elvis Costello is also featured on the song.

The Jonas Brothers were recently presented with The Gold Disc award for their sales of their self-titled second studio album in Madrid, Spain. Congratulations to the brothers on getting to continue their world domination. Apart from getting the award, Kevin, Joe and Nick also had a Masterclass Event at Orange Cafe, an in-store event at El Corte Ingles (Plaze Felippe II Square, an appearance on the El Hormiguero TV show and an interview on Internight, a popular radio program on Los 40 Principales. Their schedule was packed in Madrid! I hope they had some time to see some sights or even to just relax.
