THE WEDNESDAY DELIVERY

OOH...MADONNA AND HER HUSBAND
SPOTTED TOGETHER!!!

Madonna and Guy Ritchie reportedly were spotted holding hands as they dined out in New York, despite persistent rumors they are planning to divorce.

People.com said the celebrity couple were seen holding hands when they arrived at and departed 'Cesca, an Italian eatery in Manhattan, Tuesday night.

One witness told the entertainment news Web site the pop star and her filmmaker husband seemed "like a normal couple that just wanted to have a nice dinner out."

"They looked very unassuming. Not like they were looking for attention," the observer said. "Everyone was whispering and saying: 'Wow, that was Madonna. She is supposed to be separating from her husband. I can't believe she is here.'"

Madonna's spokeswoman issued a statement Tuesday insisting there are "no plans" for the pair to split up, contrary to reports claiming the couple has been consulting divorce attorneys.

MILEY CYRUS DOES A MITZVAH

Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus stunned the crowd at a charity concert in Nashville, Tennessee on Sunday by making a surprise appearance alongside country star Jeffrey Steele.

Steele hosted the event in memory of his 13-year-old son Alex, who was killed in an all-terrain quad bike accident last year, to raise money for charity.

And the singer was just as shocked as the crowd when 15-year-old Cyrus appeared on the stage, asking to sing a duet with him, according to People.com.

The pair performed hit track "Simple Song," which was originally recorded by Cyrus - and was the only song written by Steel that appeared on his son Alex's MP3 player when he died.

And after a second duet - a rousing rendition of Steele's Hollywood Girl - the country singer paid tribute to Cyrus, telling the crowd, "Miley might live in Hollywood, but in her heart, she'll always be our Tennessee girl."

..BRITNEY SPEARS TO BE REINVENTED

Top music producer Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins is determined to "reinvent" Britney Spears and launch a successful career comeback for the troubled star.

The pop singer - currently celebrating the birth of her younger sister Jamie Lynn's daughter Maddie - has had a rocky year, which she has spent fighting an ongoing custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

But Grammy-winning producer Jerkins, who produced remixes for Spears' tracks "Overprotected" and "I Love Rock 'n' Roll," insists her new music will resurrect her troubled public image, according to People.com.

He says, "I'm trying some new things (with Spears)Â… I've always worked with Britney and I love working with her.

"I'm try to reinvent her and reinvent myself with her project. It's about to be her time again."

KANYE CAN GIVE A F$%! ABOUT WINEHOUSE!

Kanye West has laughed off Amy Winehouse's recent scathing comments about him - insisting he must have "really made it" if the troubled singer hates him.

Winehouse lashed out at the Stronger hitmaker during her set at British music festival Glastonbury on Saturday, telling the crowd she was pleased to be opening for rapper Jay-Z and not a "c*** like Kanye West!"

But West has refused to take the insult personally - dismissing Winehouse's rant in a post on his Web site.

He writes, "This just in... Amy Winehouse hates me!!! Now I've really made it!!! LOL (laugh out loud)!!!!"

Singer Opts for 'Black National Anthem' Over
'Star Spangled Banner'

Wednesday, July 02, 2008



A jazz singer shocked some Denver residents after replacing the words to the national anthem with those of the "Black National Anthem" during the annual State of the City address this week.

Rene Marie was asked to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" before Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper delivered the annual address on Tuesday. Instead, she sang the lyrics of "Lift Every Voice and Sing" — a hymn commonly referred to as the "Black National Anthem" — to the tune of the national anthem, MyFOXColorado.com reported.

"If anyone has got a right to be angry it's probably me," Hickenlooper told the station. "I guess what I feel most is just deeply disappointed."

The mayor said only Marie, her husband and a musical adviser knew what the local jazz singer had in mind.

"What she said was that she was very sorry, that she meant no disrespect, that she was trying to make a creative expression of her love for the country," Hickenlooper said.

But the change in lyrics angered many residents, including City Councilman Charlie Brown.
"I was mad," he told MyFOXColorado.com. "I almost walked off the stage."

Brown said the matter needs to be addressed. "There is no substitute for the national anthem."

THE 100 MILLION DOLLAR MAN...

Take that, Batman, Superman and just about every other kind of costume-wearing man.

Iron Man grossed $100.8 million, per studio estimates compiled Sunday by Exhibitor Relations Co., a number that makes the Robert Downey Jr. film second only to Spider-Man for comic book movie debuts.

The estimate does not include the movie's Thursday night sneaks. If it did, it'd be $3.5 million higher.

The estimate also doesn't include overseas ticket sales. If it did, it'd be nearly $100 million higher.

In all, by the close of business tonight, Iron Man is predicted to have taken in $104.3 million domestically and $201 million worldwide, or more than the entire global runs of Daredevil and Catwoman. Give it a few days or so, and it'll move past Batman & Robin and Ghost Rider on the all-time comic book movie list, as compiled by Box Office Mojo.

MILEY CYRUS RESURFACES

@...DISNEY WORLD!

So Miley found herself doing a pre-planned show at Disney World over the weekend where she told her fans "I can't think of how many would stand in the rain to come in here. Thank you all for coming out tonight, you're all amazing." All of this stemming from the fallout of her Vanity Fair pics from last week.

Since those pics have circulated things have been real shady for Miley....there's been scrutiny from parents, press, haters, midgets, pimps, hoes, theifs, and of course, Disney. They (Disney) is rumored to be lookin for a more clean cut replacement for Cyrus.

I'm not convinced that Disney's lookin' to pull the plug over the pics. It's gotta have a lot to do with the fact that they do own the "Hannah Montana" name but not "Miley Cyrus." Since coming out to the public last year stating that she wanted to go by her legal name, the two names have become synonymous. She's become too much of a franchise for her own good, deeming to be a liability to Disney---to the point where she could single handedly hurt the (good?) Disney name.

RIHANNA'S TIRE OF FOLKS TALKIN'

ABOUT HER AND HOVA

Basically, it's gotta be said again, Rihanna and Hov don't have anything goin on. I mean this fool just got married to what was the hottest chick in the game. I'm still not sure why he did that, but it's the fact of the matter. I'm really not even a Beyonce fan anymore and think that it would be better for Hov to be down with a chick like Rihanna but...he's just too old. When asked about it, here's what she said:

“Well, it’s crazy that you ask me that. People know that it’s not true. I think it’s kinda a cliché question, and people know it’s not true, so I don’t even know why it’s still addressed to this day. I get asked about it all the time and I’m like, You’re asking, but you know the answer. I don’t even like to address it anymore.”

So there. She's doin alright since she's (allegedly) dating Chris Brown...Speaking of which...

USHER'S SAYING THAT CHRIS BROWN

IS GONNA BE THE NEXT HIM?

Usher's a cocky ass cat. I mean he has every right to be because he's that guy, but now he's tryna reach out and keep himself relevant by saying that Chris Breezy's got next as far as attaining the same success as him.

I don't know about that...Usher didn't come out the gate the same way brown did...I mean it took Usher like 2 albums...and back then he even worked with Puff, Andre Harell (during the New Jack Swing Era,) and others but still couldn't score a hit. It was only when he hooked up with prepubescent hit maker Jermaine "Y'all Know What This Is" Dupri, that Ursher had his break with "You Make Me Wanna" and "My Way."
All that being said - Chris Brown does have the upper hand on Usher. and CB didn't get his ass whooped by Dallas Austin like Ush...which is still laughable!

I may be talkin' a lot of shit about Ush but the guys good. I'm still lookin forward to the new album.

It's a cot damn shame. It's for real they're married. I can't describe how upset I am by this devastating news...the tragedy, the horror, pain. You know what I don't even want to report on this...I'll just get my Gary Dourdan on and leak the letter I sent to Mariah:

Dear Mariah,
I know that you're trying to stay young and relevant, but you went with the wrong guy. Why marry a guy who's professional peak was a song called gigalo...I mean I don't know anyone that remembers any part of the song other than R. Kelly's hook. He's a bum! Wildin' Out? Are you serious? This clown is a walking lampoon and you picked him to be with? Over me? Shadyville DJ extraordinaire? The sexiest Night Guy at the 100,00 watt Power 105.7 in Fayetteville Arkansas for that clown. I am hurt and disappointed by your actions and I will never forgive you. I hope that you've made yourself proud and know that you're going to regret your decision and you will die alone.

Thanks for nothing,

Dre "You're not gonna ever touch my body again" Boogs!

AVRIL CAN'T SING!

Avril's still going on with her lackluster "The Best Damn Thing" tour...well after she gets better from having acute laryngitis. She's had to cancel several tour dates. But so far, I'm hearing that the show sucks. Not from the core fans who have probably never see a decent show in their lives...but normal music heads who feel the same way that I do. She's a damn fool.

She's played out. plain and simple. She was cool when she came out into the mainstream in '02 but then proved to be just another self indulged fake ass bad girl...PARIS HILTON MEETS THAT CHICK FROM THE CRANBERRIES.
