Fox’s Jill Hudson is refusing to comment on reports from an American Idol fan site that American Idol is canceling its annual charity event, Idol Gives Back. For the past two years, the Idol Gives Back special has collected donations to benefit needy kids in the US and in Africa. The specials have included such big acts as Bono and Miley Cyrus. The rumor is that the event has been canceled for this year. Why? Apart from the finale, it’s probably their most watched show. More viewers means more ratings means more money. They’re going to be losing on that one if they do decide to nix the special.

Rihanna’s current boy toy, Chris Brown has recently spoken with Billboard about his upcoming projects. And wouldn’t you know it? He has some work to do with his 20-year old Barbadian lady love, among others. He said “I actually have a couple of songs written already that would be dope collaborations between me and her [Rihanna]. And I’m writing for her new album now! [I] did a couple of songs for the Jonas Brothers, but I don’t know if they took any of them. And I did a couple of songs with the Backstreet Boys and the Pussycat Dolls. I’ve also been writing songs for several new girl groups who are coming out.”

Those Hanson boys are some really strong breeders. Taylor Hans

on, the hot middle brother, just welcomed his fourth son, Viggo Moriah, this past Tuesday in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The brothers really like being dads. Taylor and his wife say “Viggo is doing great. He is the perfect early Christmas gift. We look forward to being home to enjoy the holidays with him and his very excited brothers and sister.” The couple already has three kids together, two boys and one girl. In other Hanson news, the original Jonas Brothers may be gearing up for a comeback soon as they are expected to head back to the studio early next year in order to release a new album by the summer.

The North Carolina home of former American Idol winner, now complete has-been, Fantasia Barrino has reportedly been seized and is going up for sale next week via auction. The house will be awarded to the highest bidder. I’m not surprised considering that she doesn’t have work. At least none that I know of. Plus, I doubt she got much from her previous Broadway gig after it was reported that she failed to show up for a good bulk of the shows. It sucks for her because I don’t think she has enough to pay to get her house back. That is why you have to work hard folks and not just make lots of excuses.

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.”

Britney Spears recently premiered the video for the title track off of her new album Circus. The explosive video features amazing costumes, crazy circus performers and a gorgeous Ms. Spears.

Britney Spears’ music video for her title track ‘Circus’ has officially been released. The video was directed by Francis Lawrence. He’s the same guy who directed the recovered signer’s video for ‘I’m a Slave 4 U’ and also directed the movie ‘I Am Legend’. The new video was supposed to have premiered Friday last week but due to overwhelming fan demand and an unexpected YouTube leak earlier last week, the pop princess was forced to release it last Thursday. It works out in the end because it just adds more hype to her comeback. The video looks great too! It’s another hot one for Britney.

Pete Wentz opened up a bit more on his life and his druggy past in the new December issue of Details magazine. On finding out about becoming a dad, Pete said “I was like, ‘Oh my God, this might be the worst possible time to have this conversation. I was definitely scared, just thinking, This is something that’s going to exist for the rest of your life and you can’t fuck it up…It was a happy accident. But I think that certain things happen for a reason in your life, and maybe it was time to put the wild child in the cage.” And it seems that being a dad was what saved him from drugs saying “After Heath Ledger, I was just like, Man, this is not going to end up good…I realized I found my soul mate, and it made me want to be a better person. Now, with the baby, I want to be the best dad I can be.”

At the age of 22 actress Amanda Bynes has at least for now got one of her priorities right in place as she opened up about her views on marriage saying “I feel trapped with the idea of marriage. How can you really be with somebody forever? I’d get bored.”

Well on the statement “I’d get b bored.” Well sweetheart if you find a person you love become boring soon then imagine the plight of the person who you thought you loved a while ago getting so damn bored with having to see you.

So rather its better you don’t get married any time soon and let your mate breath the air that you won’t. Don’t go about ever finding a suitable mate and even if you find immediately hand him over to your best friend. I’m your female companion will call her best friend to her wedding may be you would fancy your would have been!

‘Twilight’ hunk Robert Pattinson was recently spotted out on a night on the town with friends at Chateau Marmont in Hollywood. MTV mused about the actor and sometimes musician’s possible career paths. They said that he can either become a superhero, an artistic artist or quit acting to do music full time. When asked about his music, Rob said “I think if I did it, I’d do it under a different name and not promote it. … Maybe I could just do it under ‘Edward Cullen,’ and we’ll see what happens! I don’t like to look like I’m cashing in on stuff, so I probably won’t do it for a while. I’m not really interested in having a music career. I don’t care if people buy my stuff or not.”

Britney Spears’ camp is trying to distance itself from the debacle at the London club this past weekend which caused a lot of fans to get angry. Sources close to the recovered singer say that she was never scheduled to perform or appear at the club and that the promoters of the night falsely spread info that Britney will be there. Not wanting to let down her fans, Britney decided to show up. But after it was determined that the venue was unsafely over capacity and that the crowds were too unruly, Brit ended up just going to the club’s VIP area where she stayed for a few hours, waving to fans down below.
