JLo To Be New American Idol Judge

Following yesterday’s shocking news of Ellen’s departure from American Idol, rumors started swirling that Jennifer Lopez will be Ellen’s replacement. No official announcement has been made, but reports by People claim Lopez’s manager, Benny Medina, has been negotiating the deal for over a month and was just waiting for Ellen to make her announcement.

Is JLo just the latest celebrity to be tossed into the mix of potential judges, or do you think an announcement will be made soon?

New Video: Wynter Gordon ‘Dirty Talk’

Big Beat/Atlantic - Wynter Gordon 'Dirty Talk'

Wynter Gordon’s single ‘Dirty Talk’ has hit #1 on Billboard’s “Dance Club Play Songs” chart and the singer has just released the official music video.

Although she may seem like a newcomer to the business, Wynter Gordon is without doubt one of the most in-demand songwriters of the last five years. A graduate of New York’s world famous LaGuardia High School For The Performing Arts, the Queens-born songstress first broke through in 2005 after penning the title track for Mary J. Blige’s #1 blockbuster, “THE BREAKTHROUGH.” From there, Gordon contributed songs to such artists as Danity Kane and Jennifer Lopez, while simultaneously kickstarting her own stint in the spotlight with vocal appearances on co-written tracks by David Guetta and Poe Boy/Atlantic recording artist Flo Rida. The latter single, 2009’s “Sugar (Feat. Wynter Gordon),” proved an RIAA platinum certified top 5 hit on Billboard’s “Hot 100” as well as a top 10 international smash.

Jennifer Lopez Attempts To Sing Streisand And Laughs At Her Own Voice

Being a Diva can pay off for the worst when your music-studio engineer leaks your vocals. Reportedly an engineer had enough of J. Lo and her voice can now be heard for all eternity muddling through Barbara Streisand’s ‘Enough is Enough’ song in a cacophonously jarring way. “Whoa! I’m sorry everybody! That hurt me too!” J. Lo is heard saying upon the realization that her voice is hurting everyone’s ears. Poor J. Lo.

Def Jam, who just signed her, is probably sorry about this leak.

Sorry everybody.

Glee is set to return on April 13th and fans are in store for quite a few treats! Creator Ryan Murphy dished the following details on several celebrity appearances on the show.

Creator Ryan Murphy on Puck and Rachel:
“Yes, they will get back together. But the great thing about Puck is he’s a bad boy so he has an affair with almost every girl on the show.”

On Lady Gaga:
“We’re doing an episode that’s a tribute to theatricality. We reached out to Lady Gaga and she said, ‘Yes, I’d love to be a part of it.’ So we will be doing Lady Gaga this season.”

On Madonna:
“I’ve worked with Madonna before. I admire her greatly and I’m friends with her a little bit socially. I called her up and wrote her a letter and said we want to write up a tribute to you and she said yes and she cooperated in every way possible. We do 10 songs altogether. Jane is going to do ‘Vogue.’”

On a possible guest appearance by Julia Roberts:
“I just finished a movie with Julia, Eat, Pray, Love. She saw the rough cuts and fell in love with the show. I don’t know if Julia’s gonna do it, maybe. But she loves the show.”

Matthew Morrison on Neil Patrick Harris:
“We’re filming right now with him and Joss Whedon. He plays a high school rival of mine. Two years older than me. He got all the girls and the good songs. He’s on the school board and trying to take down the glee club. We have two duets, Aerosmith and Billy Joel.”

Jane Lynch on Sue Sylvester lines that didn’t make it the final cut:
“Shut your mouth before I rape it. Rachel wears floor length denim skirts that make her look like she’s escaped from a polygamist compound. I will kick you square in the vagina.”

Murphy also revealed that he’s trying to secure guest appearances by Justin Timberlake, Hugh Jackman and Queen Latifah.

Rihanna, Lady Gaga And More Spoofed in SNL ‘We Are The World’ Remake with Jennifer Lopez

We applaud the effort and mission of the ‘We Are The World’ remake, but, with all of the hype, the final product was just bad. Saturday Night Live took a moment to do their own remake and comment on the latest version of the song by spoofing stars such as Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Adam Lambert, Gwen Stefani and more who were not apart of the remake.

Jennifer Lopez, who was the host and musical guest, did a pretty decent job mocking Rihanna by adding RiRi’s signature ‘Eh!’ after every phrase.

Check out the funny skit from SNL:

Jennifer Lopez Clears The Air About Her Label And Upcoming Album

I can’t believe people actually care about Jennifer Lopez’s music career since she hasn’t done anything significant in the past couple of years, but people seem to be talking about her upcoming album and her relationship with Sony Music/Epic Records.

Rumors started swirling that Lopez had been dropped by her label and her upcoming album Love?scrapped. But, Lopez is speaking out to clear the air and assures fans that her album has found new home and will be released this year.

“I am making this statement to put an end to any confusion in regards to my next album, titled Love? I have belonged to the Sony family since the beginning of my career as a singer and together we’ve had great success,” the statement read. “I have fulfilled my contractual responsibilities with Sony/Epic up to this point, and we have both reached friendly terms about my departure from the label. I’m also happy to say that we’ve found a new home for my album Love? and that it is slated for release in the summer of 2010.”

So, there you have it. You can pick up your copy of Lopez’s new album this summer. You know you want it.

Jennifer Lopez Parts Ways With Her Record Label

Jennifer Lopez has left her longtime record label, Sony Epic Records. Her latest album, Love?, was supposed to be released in April. Now it appears that Love? (Her seventh studio album) could never be released. .

Jennifer’s manager Benny Medina says in a statement: “Jennifer had a wonderful relationship with the Sony Music Group, and they have shared many successes together, but the time was right to make a change that best serves the direction of her career as an actress and recording artist. She is grateful and appreciative to everyone at Sony for all that they accomplished together.”

Maybe Mrs. Lopez shouldn’t have put her career on hold? That means she wouldn’t have had her twins, Max in Emme in 2009 though.

Jennifer Lopez Wants More Babies!

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony already have set of twins, Max and Emme, but Jennifer Lopez admits she wants more babies!

Jennifer tells Absolute Now, “I want more babies – definitely. But you can’t really plan your life. As much as you would like to and as much as you would like to say, ‘I want to do this then and that then and this by that time, it is all going to be perfect,’ that’s not life. That’s not how it is. You have to just be willing to go with what happens.”

Conceiving her twins was a challenge and yet she refused to be assisted by fertility doctors. She wants to let everything happen naturally.

She said, “When it comes to family and relationships, I’m quite traditional. Just because of the way I was raised. And I also believe in God and I have a lot of faith in that, so I just felt like you don’t mess with things like that. And I guess deep down I really felt like either this is not going to happen for me or it is. You know what I mean? And if it is, it will. And if it’s not, it’s not going to.”

Maybe she should seek professional help with her music……..just saying.
