Looks like Miley Cyrus isn't the only one looking a bit red right now. Depsite all the publicity Ashlee Simpson has been drumming up with her engagement and coy non-answers to the preganancy questions, she has yet to score a hit single off her new album. As far as the album goes, it came in fourth place... don't expect it to stay in the top 10 long, either.

Meanwhile, Looks like Paula Abdul really put her foot in her mouth. I just read a story on yahoo! about last night's show and how Paula kinda lost it a little. She apparently got all confused and commented on a song that hadn't even been sung yet. Once it was pointed out to her the finalists had only done one song, she backtracked and claimed that she was looking at notes from someone else's performance and got confused. Read the story to see where that one goes wrong. Now, I know this isn't exactly a revelation regarding reality TV, but I have to ask: anyone else smelling a fix in the works? Let me know.

Well, I guess that's about it for now. Take care and see you next time!

Those who discovered Paula Abdul through American Idol might not remember that she was once accused of pulling a Milli Vanilli. My grandmother used to love buying the tabloids and occasionally she'd show me a story about people I liked. Well, one was about this girl who claimed her vocals were mixed with Paula's for the CD Forever Your Girl.

According to VHI, today was the day she sued Virgin Records over it back in 91. She lost the case, but I still don't get it. The vocals on that album were not that great... I would hope Virgin would've hired someone who sounded better than that if that was what they were doing. Despite the vocal problems, I did like the music. "Straight Up" and "Cold Hearted" were my jams when I was a kid. Who could ever forget that video she did where she and her dancers auditioned for a part and got all the execs hot and bothered? Now, that was a video! If you wanna see more events that happened today, check out the link above.

For all you Mariah fans out there, here is a link to an Island/Def Jam page where you can hear a new Mariah song called "Bye Bye". I just had a listen and loved it! To me, it's a great mix of the hip-hop sound she loves so much and the vocals of her old records. It's a One Sweet Day kind of song in that it talks about losing someone and not wanting to say goodbye.

Well, that's all for now. Check back next time for more. Til then, take care and "let the music play!"
