Spears Cleans Up With Seven MTV Award Nominations
August 4, 2009 by Amber

Britney Spears has cemented herself in the role as the biggest ever come-back queen, nabbing seven nominations at this year’s MTV Awards.
While seven noms isn’t quite the record this year – both Lady Gaga and Beyonce have nine apiece – it’s made even more remarkable, given Spears’ disastrous return to the VMA stage just two years ago.
I’m sure no one could forget Spears’ half-assed, drunken attempt at performing in 2007. At the time, she was ridiculed to the nth degree and labeled as a lost cause, but the pop star bounced back – thanks in no small part to the conservatorship put in place by her father – and is now leading the pack once again.
It is not known yet whether Brit will perform at this year’s awards ceremony – let’s face it, after Vegas, it’s highly unlikely. Those stars already on the roster include country music sensation Taylor Swift, Australia’s favourite Pink, and rockers Green Day and Muse.
Russell Brand will again play host, with the VMA’s going live from New York’s Radio City Music Hall on September 13.

I Didn’t Rip Off Beyonce Track, Says Clarkson

While everyone is busy dissing singer-songwriter Kelly Clarkson for ripping off a Beyonce Knowles song, the American Idol winner has gone on Canadian radio to insist that she didn’t steal anything – not intentionally, anyway.
Clarkson’s track, Already Gone, sounds surprisingly similar to Beyonce’s 2009 hit, Halo, and if you’d thought that the two songs were almost identical you’d be forgiven, because they are.
Exactly the same, in fact.
And Clarkson knew this before her record, All I Ever Wanted, had been shipped.
So why should we feel sorry for the onetime reality television contestant? Because her co-writer, Ryan Tedder, gave both Clarkson and Knowles the same backing track to work with, without informing either singer of this fact.
Clarkson said: “It sucks, but it’s one of those things I have no control over. I already made my album. At this point, the record company can do whatever they want with it. It’s kind of a s*****y situation, but… you know, you learn.”
According to Clarkson, when she heard how similar Beyonce’s track was to hers, so “fought and fought” to stop Already Gone from hitting the airwaves, but “in the end, [the record company is] releasing it without my consent.”
The two-time Grammy award winner said she was outraged when she found out what Tedder had done, and confronted him over the phone, saying, “I don’t understand. Why would you do that?”
Clarkson added: “[I said to Tedder] no one’s gonna be sitting at home, thinking ‘Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyonce and Kelly the same track to write to.’ No, they’re just gonna be saying I ripped someone off.”
Which is exactly what they’re saying.
To hear for yourself just how similar the two tracks really are, check out Clarkson’s Already Gone and Beyonce’s Halo.

Michael Jackson’s Unreleased Song

A previously unreleased Michael Jackson song has just been obtained by TMZ.com.
The song – A Place With No Name – is believed to be inspired the 1971 hit A Horse With No Name, performed by the group America. Apparently, several years ago, America’s then-manager gave Jackson permission to record his song, despite similarities between the two.
The band’s current manager, Jim Morey – who incidentally, was also Jackson’s manager from the 80’s to the 90’s – has released a statement in regards to the unearthed track, and says:
“[America] was honoured that Michael chose to do their song and they hope it becomes available for all Michael’s fans to hear.”
It is unclear at this stage when Jackson recorded the song.
