It's Gonna be One Hot Summer with Glee's Matthew Morrison
Glee may end soon, but Matthew Morrison's musical talent can no longer be contained by the television box alone. As a matter of fact, Morrison will take a musical journey this summer, beginning in June in Minneapolis until July in Los Angeles, showcasing his delightful talent with music evoking a "'40s and '50s New York feel."
Morrison will be on 20 cities for this musical trip, and several A-listers are expected to join him in some of these gigs, such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Elton John. These Hollywood biggies collaborated with Morrison and were featured in his solo album.
Gleeks are already in that delicious stage of anticipation, awaiting the arrival of the hottie Glee teacher in their cities. Presales start April 4.

American Idol Double Elimination for Thia Megia and Naima Adedapo
"I'm glad the last song I did on the show was dedicated to my brother," Thia Megia said after last Friday's double elimination wherein she and fellow American Idol contestant Naima Adedapo finally left the Idol stage for good. Thia refers to "Daniel" as her swan song in said show. The judges thought her rendition of the classic Elton John song was safe but which she said she poured her heart out on because she dedicated it to her older brother.
Naima Adedapo's reggae take on "I'm Still Standing" may have displeased the judges and the American Idol audiences, and her colorful persona and interesting dance moves were not enough to send her through to the next week. "Sometimes people just didn't know where to place me," Adedapo said when asked if her outrageous style was conflicting with American Idol audiences' preference to get to the best vocalists in the bunch.
The double elimination reduced fellow American Idol contestant Lauren Alaina to tears, perhaps because Adedapo has gotten close to the 16-year-old during the finals run. The teenager considers Adedapo a mother figure who has always encouraged her to be more confident of her talent and in herself. Losing Thia Megia became a personal double blow to Alaina, who enjoyed bonding with someone her own age in classes and rehearsals and all during the punishing American Idol finals run.

Royal Wedding Hoopla
By now, everyone in the planet knows April 29 is the date Prince William will wed Kate Middleton in what those in the know calls the "wedding of the century".
Intense public scrutiny has been the main staple of the royal romance, but when Prince William proposed to Kate in October while holidaying in Kenya, and popping the question with her late mother Princess Diana's engagement ring, the world only got wind of it a month later when Buckingham Palace announced the engagement.
The wedding itself will be a national bank holiday in Britain, with the wedding service taking place at the grand Westminster Abbey at 11 a.m. It is a Friday, chosen by the couple because it is the Feast Day of St. Catherine, Kate's namesake.
As to the wedding costs, the royals stemmed the speculation that taxpayers will shoulder the bill, saying that the royal family and the Middletons will cover those, thank you. The cost includes reception and the honeymoon, but sources say security and post-wedding cleanups are public services that will be picked up by ordinary Brits.
Post-wedding scenarios? Short of a divorce, that is? Life will resume for everyone, with Kate Middleton probably on to a lot of trips and charity work representing the royal family. And of course, popping out male heirs to the throne. Busy, busy, busy!
Congratulations, by the way!

Elizabeth Taylor: Goodbye, Miss Violet Eyes
Elizabeth Taylor, her with the irresistible violet eyes, is dead at 79 of congestive heart failure. Already, Hollywood seems a shade dimmer because of her passing. For the younger generation who knows Liz Taylor more for her deep friendship with the late Michael Jackson, she was actually a very talented actress with a colorful career and an even more colorful personal life. With Oscar nominations and awards, seven husbands, and a trail of admirers all over the world, the word femme fatale must have been invented with her in mind.
She began her career at age 10, and her films like "Lassie Come Home" and "National Velvet" are still much-loved classics until today. She grew into a luminous beauty in "A Place in the Sun" and "Father of the Bride."
Elizabeth's love life has been well-publicized, but none more so than that with fellow actor Richard Burton. They were married and divorced a couple of times.
Hollywood will surely miss Elizabeth Taylor's star quality. She always dressed like a star, with her fabulous eyes, huge diamonds, and an unceasing love for life and never-ending quest for happiness.

David and Victoria Beckham's Split -- only on Twitter
Hollywood split-ups may have become common these days, but please rule out the Beckhams. They're not the Gores, nor Sandy and Jesse. And the rumor circulating at Twitter that they are on the verge of calling it quits is "Nonsense", so David and Victoria Beckham says according to the Daily Mail.
The Twitter rumor started when PR guy Andrew Bloch tweeted: "I am hearing from a number of sources that Victoria and David Beckham are due to announce their separation in a few hours."
The couple swiftly denied the rumor through David Beckham's long-time publicist Simon Oliviera, who tweeted Bloch back saying: "Didn't know you were the new Perez Hilton. I think I would be aware of that, utter nonsense. Have a word with your sources."
Although Bloch has since tweeted an update that the rumor is indeed a figment of imagination, the rumor has already circulated Twitterdom. Like smoke, it escaped to the Internet ether and picked up by websites and blogs, like this one.

Guitar-Plucking Sandra Bullock at Nashville Rising
You can't keep a good woman down.
Sandra Bullock showed up at the star-studded Nashville Rising: A Benefit Concert for Flood Recovery last Tuesday and wowed the crowd with her " tongue-in-cheek guitar plucking," People reported. Sandy put in a surprise appearance in the concert that raked in more than $2 million for flood victims.
The concert was hosted by Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, Hill's real-life husband and Sandy's screen husband in her movie "The Blind Side". The 15,000-strong crowd gave Sandra Bullock a standing ovation after she yelled "I'm going to bring the house down," swung an acoustic guitar over her shoulder, and began the opening notes to "Smoke On the Water." Of course, she was only joking as she stopped playing and introduced Faith Hill instead.
Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, ZZ Top, Martina McBride, LeAnn Rimes and Miley Cyrus are among the more serious performers.

Is iPad-Toting Suri Cruise Spoiled?
When you're a Hollywood A-lister couple, you naturally spend a lot of money on trivial matters like designer clothes, bags, jewelries, beach-front houses, sprawling mansions, cars, whatever. But does it mean you are compelled to spend lavishly on your 4-year old child as well?
Take the case of Suri Cruise, the daughter of Hollywood couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Their darling baby was seen recently dining with her showbiz royalty parents sporting an iPad! Life & Style reported that when the family dined at Il Cantinori, she tinkered with her iPad for 20 minutes as the adults conversed around the table. Normally, children her age will be lucky to get a toy priced at $100. Suri's iPad is at the $499-$829 price range!
This makes you wonder if, together with her 100 pairs of shoes and a packed designer wardrobe, this junior A-lister is just a bit on the side of spoiled?

Michael Jackson's 3 Kids Get $33M Each
Everyone thought Michael Jackson was broke when he died. News of the World (NOTW) reveals that he has left his children an incredibly large amount of money. The fortune will make his children -- 13-year-old Prince, 12-year-old Paris, and 8-year-old Blanket -- billionaires by 40. If they're careful with their spending, that is.
According to NOTW, Michael Jackson really died broke, but his death made him so popular that his lawyers cashed in on this through movie and music deals that got him $300M.
Michael Jackson's will splits this fortune 40-40-20 to his 3 children, his mother, and to charity. This leaves a trust fund of $33 million to each child. At 21, they will have access to a third of their money. At 30, half of it. And at 40, they get it in full.
His will forgot to mention his ex-wives, brothers, sisters, dad, and close friends.
This has caused "disquiet among Jackson family members," according to NOTW.
