Premiere of shows on Monday 9/14

   There were lots of premiere of shows that included Gossip Girl and Lincoln Heights. I really don't watch any of the other premieres.

  
Lincoln Heights is about Eddie Sutton is a police officer who moved his family to his old neighborhood called Lincoln Heights. Eddie wants to make Lincoln Heights better and a safe place for his family.  His family also has to adjust at living in a new neighborhood with a new school and neighbors. Cassie soon falls in love with a guy named Charles.

Here is the commercial for Lincoln Heights
Gossip Girl is about 
Gossip Girl features ensemble cast of nine regular speaking roles which were mainly adapted from the book series. The series began with the mysterious arrival of former 'it girl' Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively), who attempts to start a new page in her life with her friends and family. Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley), an outsider who becomes a part of the turbulent Manhattan scene, is Serena's main love interest whom she starts dating in the first episode. Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) is a beautiful Queen Bee of Manhattan's social scene, Serena's best friend, ally, and often rival, on whom the show is strongly focused. Nate ArchibaldChace Crawford) is wealthy and popular guy, always confused with his feeling and the paths in his life. Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) serve as the show's antihero, he is a womanizer and party lover with a troubled life and past. The five mentioned characters serve as the show's focal point, while the other characters contribute in subplots. Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen) is Dan's younger sister, who desperately tries to become the next Queen Bee, a goal that makes her realize the true values of life, which she eventually accomplishes. Vanessa Abrams (Jessica Szohr) who enters the show in its first season as Dan's past love, becomes a series regular after the 14th episode of the first season, where her storyline drastically changes and she falls deeply for Nate. (A major subplot in the show involves Serena's mother Lily van der Woodsen (Kelly Rutherford) and Dan's father Rufus Humphrey (Matthew Settle), both of whom share a romantic past which follows them throughout the show, and eventually leads to marriage. Other characters include Eric van der Woodsen (Connor Paolo) Serena's overly caring gay brother, who becomes very close with Jenny; and Georgina Sparks (Michelle Trachtenberg), the main antagonist in the show, but with a recurring role.

The Stepfather

       Penn Badgley stars in the hit TV show called Gossip Girl but he is going to be in a new movie called The Stepfather. This movie is a scary movie and it looks ok, for a scary movie. Penn has looked less dorky then he usually does on Gossip Girl. Here is what the movie is about:

Dylan Walsh stars as David Harris, very much a "family values" man who mysteriously comes into the lives of single mothers with children and becomes the dream man they always wanted. When he woos Susan Harding (Sela Ward) and eventually moves in with her family, her teenage son Michael (Penn Badgley) begins to suspect that David is not quite the dream man he pretends to be. Along with his girlfriend Kelly (Amber Heard) and Susan’s friends (Paige Turco and Sherry Stringfield) they slowly start to piece together the mystery of the man who is set to become his stepfather, but they may be too late in getting to the truth.

Backstreet Boys are every where

The Backstreet Boys have been the the daily ten twice this year. The boys also came out with a new music video for Straight Through My Heart. Here is a video of the guys on the Daily 10.

Backstreet Boys with Rolling Stone

     Backstreet Boys have an article with rollingstone.com from rolling stone magazine. This time the boys are talking about their new album This is Us that will be coming out on October 6th, 2009. Here is a preview of the article: 
     Call them pop’s longest-running, most persistent group. Call them men, not boys. Just don’t call it a comeback. “We almost named the album that,” jokes Nick Carter, one-fourth of the Backstreet Boys, whose seventh studio effort, This Is Us, is slated for release on October 6th. “We’re the Brett Favres of the music industry.” Clearly, he and his bandmates are fed up with the public perception that they’ve taken an extended time out. They’re not ‘NSync, after all. “It does frustrate me,” says Brian Littrell. “Everybody asks, ‘Where have you been? What have you been doing?’ When we’re, like, ‘We’ve been touring the world, and working our butts off!’ ”
OK, so maybe the boy-band racket isn’t what it used to be. There are no million-plus first week sellers in today’s music business, and so many outlets vying for your attention that it’s easy to miss a respectable showing like Backstreet’s 2007 album, Unbreakable. Which is one reason why A.J. McLean, Howie Dorough, Carter and Littrell are looking back to a proven formula with This Is Us. “The idea was going back to those great R&B ballads as well as dance songs you can shake your butt to,” McLean explains. “And we were fortunate enough to work with some amazing writers and producers who got our concept and everything fit perfectly.”
Among the industry heavies to lend a hand: Ne-Yo, T-Pain, Pitbull, Ryan Tedder, Max Martin, RedOne, and beatmaker Jim Johnson. “The production on this record has been pushed a little more,” says McLean. “It’s edgy and current but also shows our love for the pop-R&B that we grew up on.” Carter interjects: “Jodeci, Boys II Men, Shai, New Edition… we had to go back and remember our influences and what taught us in the years when we were developing into a band.” And Littrell adds that if you were to take away all the bells and whistles, the basics of the song with that Backstreet sweet spot is what defines their raison d’etre. “That’s why Michael Jackson was a true artist,” he says, “because you could take away every beat and every layer and just dance to his voice. That vocal instrument is what we’ve always known, and I can honestly say without this sounding egotistical: when we sing collectively, there is a magic.”

Hilary Duff on Diva rumor

Hilary Duff heard a rumor that she is a diva. Do you guys think it is true? She is currently filming the third season of Gossip Girl and this is probably why there is a rumor about her being a diva. She is not a diva. Here is a preview of the article from sfgate.com: 

Rumors swirled that Duff had infuriated the show's cast after refusing to leave her trailer as the others waited to film near Manhattan's Gramercy Park neighborhood, causing a massive delay in shooting.
A source claims, "No one could believe they would actually hold up taping for her. Nobody in the cast behaves like that."

Hilary Duff on Gossip Girl

Hilary Duff is welcomed to the set of the season three of Gossip Girl! Here is a preview of the article from people.com: 
        She’s the new kid on the Gossip Girl block, but Hilary Duff says the star-studded cast is making her feel right at home.
“Everyone’s been really, really gracious to me and sweet to me,” Duff told reporters Thursday night at a NYC celebration for Charlotte Ronson’s I “Heart” Ronson collection for JCPenney.
Duff reportedly will play Olivia Burke, a movie star who enrolls at New York University and rooms with Jessica Szohr’s character, Vanessa.
“I’m a huge fan of the show. They called me and said come on and do a few episodes. I jumped at the chance,” she said on the red carpet outside the Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers.

Paula is leaving Idol

Paula Abdul leaves idol
Written: 8, 2009
I was a week at camp and just heard the news about Paula. Paula Abdul who has been a judge on the show since the show started. I think they have chosen Paula to be on the show in the first place because she is a nice smart person. She has been around longer than some of the young singers out there. I don’t think that it is right that they are replacing her. She is one of the nicest judges anyone would meet. She has told some of my favorite people from American Idol that they are great. I remember when she didn’t want Scott Macintyre to leave the show but Simon made him leave which was wrong.
People just need to back off and just give Paula what she wants because I think she deserves the money and the show. Simon needs less money, maybe like 30 million and they should give Paula more. Simon has said that he would like to have her back on the show. What is going on here? Paula has said before Kara came on idol, that the guess judges did not really work at all of the show. I total agree with that. I only have watched the eighth season but I truly know that Paula should not leave because she is really smart. They should keep her on the show. The show will be weird because they want the wrong people to be on idol as guest judges. I just think that is wrong. Do you watch the show and if so please tell me what you think about Paula leaving Idol?

Backstreet Boys biography


Backstreet boys biography
Written by Kristina Chen
The Backstreet Boys are known for selling of 200 million albums just making them the best selling boy band of all time. The Backstreet Boys started with Kevin Richardson, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, and AJ Mclean. After that Kevin recommended his cousin Brian Littrell to tryout for the group. After that Brian was on a plan to Orlando, Florida. Brian was the last one to join Backstreet Boys. Backstreet Boys started in April of 93. They put out their first single in 97 called We got It Goin on which did not sell much. They went to Europe and recorded their first album called Backstreet Boys and it was released in 96. After that America was begging that the boys be recording at Jive records. Their manager is now Johnny Wright. Their second album was also named Backstreet Boys but was released in 1997 in the US. They also released another international album called Backstreet’s Back that same year.
In 1999 they released their second US album called Millennium. Millennium had reached to number one on the top Billboard 200 charts and stayed there for ten weeks. Their best single from the album was I want It That Away. The album had sold 1,134,000 copies and 500,000 it’s first day. Everyone says that Millennium was the highlight of their career. They had several singles from their album: I want It that Away, Show me the meaning of Being Lonely, Larger Than Life, and The One. Millennium had become the best sold album in 1999 with selling 9,445,732 million copies. Millennium remain on the Billboard top 200 charts for 93 weeks with selling 12 million. This album has made it to be certified, 13 times platinum. At the end of 1991 the guys had made a record contract deal that was 60 million dollars.
In 2000 they had released their third US album called Black and Blue. It sold 1.9 million in it’s first week it was released. This had made the band become the first artist to have two album sold with a million or more in the first week. This album had sold over 24 million world wide. The singles for the album are: Shape of My Heart, The Call, and More Than That.
During the times of 2002 to 2004 the boys had took a hiatus. Their fans were wondering if they would ever be back because so many other bands broke up. This hiatus scared their fans. In 2005 they released their fourth US album called Never Gone which made to number three on the billboard top 200 charts. This album had sold 291,000 copies it’s first week. Just in that same year Brian had released a Christian song called In Christ Alone which made it number one on the Christian Charts in the US. After all of their success so far Never Gone was made platinum in the US. They had four singles for the album: Incomplete, Just Want you to Know, Crawling Back to you, and I Still…
These guys had a lot that was going for them until 2006. In 2006 Kevin Richardson had decided to leave the group to focus on the next chapter in his life. Kevin left in June 2006. Kevin wanted to leave so he could start a family of his own. On October 30, 2007 the guys released their fifth US album without Kevin, calling it Unbreakable. It reached to number 21 on the adult contemporary charts and number 86 on the top 200 billboard charts. Unbreakable opened at number seven on the billboard top 200 charts with selling only 81,000 copies it’s first week. Only two weeks after Unbreakable was released the album dropped out of the top 100. Three years after Kevin left the group the guys will be releasing their sixth album called This is Us in October 6, 2009. This will also be the guys second album without Kevin. Their first single is Straight through My Heart which was released on the radio, on July 27, 2009.

Backstreet Boys are back!

I guess all of you guys just heard right! Backstreet Boys will be releasing their 6th US studio Album that has been confirmed as the title This Is Us. The guys have never been gone since they released unbreakable in 2007. This Is Us will be their second album since Kevin left in June of 2006. Here is a preview of the article from MTV.com:

With the release of their new single "Straight Through My Heart" and the excitement that coursed through the Newsroom when it all happened, it seems that, at least among a few of us MTV News staffers, there is some excitement for the new Backstreet Boys album, This is Us, which is due out on October 6.

For the album, the guys worked with producer RedOne on the single and hooked up with longtime collaborator and pop mastermind Max Martin. They also worked with T-Pain, and Brian Littrell talked to MTV News about working with the rapper (much) earlier this year.

The Top ten American Idol season eight

The top ten talk about being on tour. Here is a preview of the article from eonline.com:

As the American Idol top 10 rehearse day and night to get ready for their first tour, which kicks off Sunday, July 5 in Portland, Ore., one little logistical thing is bugging the boys.

"The guys' tour bus is overcrowded. There's only one bus for the boys and there are seven of us, and no, Adam and Kris don't get their own bus," Scott MacIntyre told us when we caught up with them at rehearsals last week. Before you think he's a squeaky wheel, all six of the other guys echoed that sentiment. Michael Sarver said, "I'm not gonna lie. I just wish it was part of the budget to have a third bus. It's like the testosterone tour this year. No one is looking forward to the cramped boys' bus."

Indeed, the girls have it easier with just three female contestants, a mom and a backup singer or two. "We got lucky," joked Allison Iraheta. "I feel bad for them!"

Read on to find out which contestant calls herself the "skanky one," which one disses the judges, which one has one tiny regret and what the American Idols Live Tour 2009 is going to sound like...

Michael Sarver: "The order of performances goes in the order of elimination. So, since I was the first of the top 10 to be eliminated, I'm opening the show. And the higher you got in the competition, the more songs you get to do in your own set. I think it's the best spot of the night because you get all that fresh energy from the crowd and you get to introduce the whole show. I need to get them on their feet and energized. I'm doing two songs I didn't do on the show, but I don't want to spoil it."

Megan Joy: "One song I'm doing is Amy Winehouse's 'Tears Dry on their Own.' It'll be jamsy [sic]. And my color is pink. I'm wearing a supertight, super minidress. I'm gonna be the skanky one. It's going to be fun."

Scott MacIntyre: "My set is going to be along the lines of singer-songwriter, pop-rock, British pop and very acoustic rock. But I'm planning on getting everyone singing. I will be using the piano in a major way on the tour."

Matt Giraud: "My Twitter fans wanted me to do 'Georgia on My Mind' [made famous by Ray Charles], and I listen to them, so that's one of my songs. What's great about this tour is that we have choreographers now for our own individual sets. We should've had that one the show. I didn't have the coolest moves like some people on the show."

Anoop Desai: "My set goes from ballads to [Bobby Brown's] 'My Prerogative,' but it'll be cooler than how I did it on the show. I'm embarrassed when I look back at that performance. This will be more refined. I like bigger crowds. I just don't like four people sitting at a table talking to each other while I'm singing. So yeah, I'm looking forward to the bigger crowds. It'll be nice to sing without having to worry about camera blocking."

Kris Allen Shows off

Have you wonder how the American Idol tour is going if you can't see the tour? I will tell you from this article posted from mtv.com. Here is a preview of the article:

LOS ANGELES — On Thursday night, the latest crop of "American Idol" superstars returned to the city that helped make them famous as the American Idols Live! tour descended upon L.A.'s Staples Center.
It was my first opportunity to get to see the infamous tour — it always hits the NYC area when we're super busy with Video Music Awards stuff — and it did not disappoint.
First of all, the energy in the room was dizzying. Before the show even began, the crowd erupted anytime L.A.'s own Adam Lambert popped up onscreen in never-ending monitor loops advertising Ford, Coke and Disney World. (It wouldn't be "Idol" without the product placement!)
The nearly three-hour concert kicked off exactly the way you'd want it to — with a full band jamming to the show's addictively cheesy theme song. Even better? The video graphics that went along with the overture made you feel like you were inside the opening credits. Fans have seen that androgynous robot hold up a microphone at least 500 times. The "Idol" tour lets you feel like you are the genitalia-free robot. I shouted executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz's name just to make it even more authentic.
The first half of the show is made up of short sets from the "bottom six" of the top 10. But what might sound like a marathon of "meh" on paper actually ended up being a string of surprises! Michael Sarver kicked off the show with infectious enthusiasm and an unexpected disco R&B shuffle. (Ever wondered what Ne-Yo's "Closer" would sound like being sung by a jovial white guy with a twang? It's better than you think.)
And while I wouldn't say Megan Joy looked comfortable onstage (accidentally crashing her mug into a microphone stand didn't help), at least she sounded better than she ever did on "Idol." Final "caw caws" included! Even Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan agreed — the celebs were apparently two of the many fans in attendance, and they have the tweets to prove it!
Matt Giraud and Scott MacIntyre, the two piano men of season eight, didn't disappoint, particularly with a sequence during the group number that concluded act one. We all knew Matt had potential thanks to his Hollywood week "Georgia on My Mind" performance, and while his "Idol" journey was mired in "Who am I?" identity crises, Matt has found his footing big-time. His confidence was up 500 percent, his falsetto was strong, and his set featured more runs than Montezuma's revenge. The weak spot in his set list was, not surprisingly, a Fray song he bombed on the show. Don't get me wrong, his tour performance was miles better than the "Idol" abomination, but for a guy who is finally figuring out his own swagger, it was disappointing to hear Matt ape Fray frontman Isaac Slade's annoying Kermit the Frog stylings instead of showcasing his own vocal twists.

Concert Review

Here is a preview of the American Idol tour 09 from nationalpost.com:

American Idols Live! Tour 2009
GM Place, Vancouver
07/08/2009

By Graeme McRanor, Canwest News Service

Here's a tip: Exclamation marks should always be used sparingly, and should not be used to describe a concert tour.

Oh, sure, you could place one informally, say, at the end of "That sucked!" or "A marvelous evening of music!" as you leave the venue.

But in the name itself? Never.

Especially when said tour is called American Idols Live! and features a veritable who's who of the televised version's top 10 from Season 8.

Seriously, who are these people?

Okay, there's Kris Allen, the winner.

And Adam Lambert, who conspiracy theorists claim should have won. (He's gay, in case you didn't hear!)

Then, like the original theme from Gilligan's Island, there's the rest: Allison Iraheta, Anoop Desai, Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Matt Giraud, Megan Joy, Michael Sarver and Scott MacIntyre, arguably the most famous blind man in North America and unwitting recipient of Ryan Seacrest's ill-advised and unannounced high-five, probably the most awkward skin slip in television history.

Of course, as Lambert told me earlier in the day, the tour is more musical showcase than concert. Still, it's kind of like watching Stars on Ice, minus the stars.

Harsh? Well, as Simon (Cowell) says, it's a tough business.

Touring on television ratings is like signing a book deal because you're Joe the Plummer: Opportunistic.

My American idol Recap

My American Idol Recap
Written: April 30, 2009
This week Kris, Matt, and Adam were in the bottom three. I was right and I was wrong about this week. I never thought that Kris would be in the bottom three. I think that next week Alison will go home. I found out the Kris Allen has a myspace and a twitter. www.twitter.com/krisallenmusic and www.myspace.com/krisallenmusic. If you ever need any Idol news just go to these two websites: www.tinaecnews.blogspot.com and www.twitter.com/idolatry. There is always lots of Idol news. I think that this week was the best week of all time. I really think that this year of Idol was the most talented people they ever had on the show. Lots of people have told me that I would be wrong about Adam but I guess I showed them because Adam was in the bottom three just actually the bottom two and that really got me to think that he can't win Idol.
America does not like him that much after him being in the bottom two. I really do not want to see Kris in the bottom three again. Next week I think that Adam, Kris, and Alison will be in the bottom three and Adam will be in the bottom two. I really believe that Danny is a better singer and America saw that from this week. How many of you guys got your prediction right? Please let me know. I know that I was wrong and right. So next week is Rock and Roll week and who do you think will be not so great? I think that Kris will be better than this week even though Kris was really good this week. I also think that Danny will be great even though I really liked his performance of this week.

My American Idol Recap

My American Idol Recap
Written: April 28, 2009
The top five were better this week. This week they did songs from the Rat Pack. I think that Kris really did a great job, just one of his best performances ever. I actually knew the song from one of the movies that I have watched before. I really think that Danny knows who he is and he knows how to sing and he will or might win American Idol. I think that the Rat Pack was a great choice for the week. I know that Kris did his best and that Danny did his best as well. I believe in them all of the way. I think that Alison did better even though I do not like her still. I think that Alison will go home even though the judges like her every week. I hope that Danny or Kris will not make it into the bottom three at this stage of the competition. I think that one of the people that I like will eventually be in the bottom three because the competition is getting down to where there will be more people going home. I hope that Kris and Danny will be in the top three. I have always believed in them not matter what just like in Scott Macintyre. I always believe in him and believe that he will become a better singer than he already is. Go to www.myspace.com/scottmacintyre to find out more news and information about Scott. I think it is great that Scott gets to go on tour with the rest of the contestants from American Idol. Not much is going to say since there are less and less contestants on the show. I believe that Kris will win American Idol. I really do not like Adam….I know people are tired of hearing me say that but I really don’t care. I just really don’t like him. No one will make him win American Idol and Kris is better than him anyways.
