I'm tired of RUMORS starting...but rumor has it that there might be a Mean Girls themed party next weekend. There will be a burn book with people's facebook pictures printed out...and I will wear army pants and flip flops.

Ashlee Simpson to go 80s on next album. I know I'm excited.

"I've been really into '80s music, and hopefully my next album will have that feel to it. I'm really excited to write my new record."
The funny thing is...that's the GOOD news. Ashlee is also set to star in her debut big screen film, "Undiscovered". The movie was once known as "Wannabe" but the name has been changed to match the theme of the movie...Ashlee's song from Autobiography called "Undiscovered" (obvi). Clearly, they failed in getting her to cover the Spice Girls. Ashlee Simpson's version of "Wannabe" wouldn't have been the new "Hey Ya!"...it would be far superior. GOD, it'd make me want to La La.

Avril Lavigne is SO considerate! She'll play the songs she hates for her fans. That's just so admirable. I mean, I'm glad you're willing to go through this for us, but why do you gotta go and make things so complicated?

5o Cent is, like, the new The Beatles.
That's right, I said it. 50 Cent has had four singles in the Billboard top ten single charts- "Candy Shop", "Disco Inferno", and The Game's "How We Do" and "Hate it or Love it". The last group to achieve this feat was The Beatles in 1964. 5o Cent is The Beatles of our generation! Our children will listen to 50 Cent in college. SCARY.

Dude. Backstreet's Back, alright? The Backstreet Boys have released their first new single "Incomplete". Listen here. Mmm...smell that? It's the scent of grown up boy band boys trying to make quality music...and failing greatly. They call it a boy band for a reason guys...because "man band" just sounds funny.

Usher is hilarious. Listen to this song. The lyrics are so deep. I totes bought it on iTunes. If you want me to burn you a copy, "holler at me yall".

Pink is the New Blog had the scoop. Paris Hilton's new pup is a boy...and his name is Bambi. AW!
