Peter Andre is working hard to make everything right for his upcoming record. Andre’s New Year resolution will be to make his album hugely successful.

The 35-year-old star said that he is striving hard for a desperate fame. He has planned a grand May release. Andre wants his album to be an instant hit.

Peter has a family with his wife Katie Price and three children. Andre also desires to have sex as the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve. Andre said that he would love to involve people in his party but that would be made possible only if he and Katie were disguised.

He added: “I’d like us to go to a masked party where no one knew who we were. I’d have sex with Katie in front of people if no one recognised us.” Peter revealed that it has been his dream to make love to his wife Katie Price as the new year begins but only if he can time it right.

Peter says he and his wife are still unsure as where to spend their 2009. He said: “I want to go to Australia, but I don’t think we’ll be able to as we’re going to America in January, so I think it’ll all be too tight.”

On a recent reality show of his own(Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter), Andre revealed that he is working on a super solo album. He also said that with the album his hopes would reach an ‘aspiration goal.’

Andre also revealed in the show that he and his wife Katie Price would work and plan on another joint album for charity due to the success of their first album A Whole New World.

Britney Spears

Britney Spears have hit the troubled waters yet again. This time she has gained the wrath of the campaigners People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals(PETA). Britney reportedly came under the PETA fire. PETA has slammed Britney’s video, ‘Circus’ where caged elephants are shown. The video according to the animal rights activists, is sheer violation of animal freedom and basic rights.

A PETA statement said: “As Britney is such a victim of the paparazzi and always complaining and crying about how she hates to be held up in her guarded house and can’t feel free, she of all people should be able to relate to the horror that captive animals go through when they’re used for entertainment. Animals are ripped away from their mothers at a young age, kept in chains and prodded with electric shock devices to make them perform.”

Britney has not commented on the allegations. There are sources who said that the troupes and dancers performing with Britney are regularly checked and made to take drug tests. This is a strict order. This is being done so that the once troubled star gets a “clean influence”. Britney is reportedly ensured a trouble free existence and for that she has been kept free of all negative influences. Britney’s aids and associates are ensuring a better life for Britney free of all negativities and bad influences to save her from falling prey to her old bad habits.

Back to PETA’s reactions and allegations a source told E! News: “All backing dancers had to be drug tested and, if they didn’t pass, they were fired. I think they only do it for her because she is under strict watch. I think they just want good influences around her. Britney suffered a public breakdown earlier this year which resulted in her losing custody of her two children - Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two - and her father Jamie being made co-conservator of her estate…”

Take That

Take That have reportedly come up with a song about Amy Winehouse. They said that the song that has just been penned deals with a

character similar to Winehouse’ and is probably even inspired by Amy’s whirlwind rehab life.

The ‘Shine’ hit makers have penned ‘How Did It Come To This’ for their new album ‘Circus’ and hinted it was inspired by the troubled ‘Rehab’ singer.

The track was written by Jason Orange and describes the exploits of a “slightly schizophrenic and OCD girl from Camden Town”, the area of North London where Amy lives her life under the spotlight “a world away”. Her world though in constant spotlight is separated from the world of others. She lives a secluded life with constant indulgence with drugs and pots. She has a life, if we

may at all call it as one, that has more rehab visits and suffering than celeb flash. As an Artist of our times Amy is regarded as a talented singer. But many believe that Amy has started destroying her life and talent. Due to heavy intake of crack cocaine Amy’s voice has started to degrade.

Amy Winehouse

Lyrics to the track include: “All this noise and all these lights/All this talking through the night. All this expectation now it’s making me neurotic/ Tell me have I seen your face before? How did it come to this?/ How did it ever come to this? “Have you turned on your TV?/ Have you seen reality?”

Frontman Gary Barlow is delighted with their forthcoming single ‘Greatest Day’ because it has helped them put their concert set lists together.

He explained: “We’ve got so many songs to choose from to close live shows, but we always struggled for one to open with. ‘Greatest Day’ is that song.”

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson is “flattered” to have inspired Katy Perry’s hit track ‘I Kissed a Girl’.

The ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ star who recently married actor Ryan Reynolds was unaware she had motivated Katy to pen the risque record.

She said: “I had no idea about the song, but I should get a cut! It’s really flattering, but my lips are kind of taken.”

Scarlett also spoke about her bitterness and rivalry with Lindsay Lohan which as we all know started off when Lindsay was given the lead role in 1998 movie ‘The Parent Trap’ over her. This aggaravated when Lindsay allegedly wrote vulgar words about Scarlett on the wall of a New York toilet insisting Lindsay is a nobody.

She said: “I really don’t know that person. I only met her, like, three times.”

Speaking about Lindsay’s bathroom scrawlings two years ago, Scarlett added to Allure magazine: “That’s what I heard. I don’t know what the motivation was behind that. I remember it was something really vulgar - I mean, shockingly so, like, ‘Whoa, what, who are you?’ “

Beyonce

Beyonce Knowles talked about her marriage and the things that she could have done if she was not married. Beyonce Knowles known for her tight lipped nature when asked about her marriage has revealed her thoughts about tying the knot. The 27 year old pop star who is married to music mogul Jay-Z said “I feel like you have to get to know yourself, know what you want, spend some time by yourself, and be proud of who you are before you can share that with someone else” about her early marriage.

She said how difficult it was for her “Before the age of 25, I would never get married,” to make the decision when all her life she wanted to do was to wait for the right moment and the right time to settle down with the right person.

We can get an insight into her thoughts about marriage : “I really don’t believe that you will love the same thing when you’re 20 as you do at 30.”

Asked whether she could learn anything about life, from her musical husband, she said , “I guess probably that we’re all human.” “I don’t care if you’re picture-perfect on every magazine cover, and you’re the most handsome, successful, coolest guy,” says Beyoncé. “You still get sad, and you still get your feelings hurt, and you still get confused and vulnerable and nervous and scared. You have to find a person you can make it through the tough times with.”

Beyonce also talked about her star image and her worries about her performances. She said that she found it proper to study her past performances so that she always found ways to improve. “I have my YouTube days, when I watch every performance,” she says. “I listen to my music, and I watch my videos to figure out what I need to do, what I need to fix, and how to become a better singer,” Beyonce said.
Beyonce’s new album comes up on Monday. “I Am … Shasha Fierce” is her new album. She also talked about her upcoming album in her interview. She also said that she always wanted to have a a strong sense of self before making a lifelong commitment to anyone.

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson has opted out of a rumored Jackson 5 reunion tour. Michael denied on Thursday that he would be a part of the alleged reunion of the famed Motown singing group. His elder brother Jermaine had said that Michael was “on board”. There were several opinions being generated on the reunion. The definitive denial comes as a surprise for the recent hot gossip topic. After all Michael is not inclined to make music with his brothers, it seems.

But it seems that a Jackson 5 reunion is not quite easy after so many years. Michael continued his agenda to crash all hopes of reuniting with Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon and Tito on a Jackson 5 reunion tour. The pop royalty rejuvenation dream is after all a distant reality. All courtesy to troubled pop star Michael Jackson. Jackson,50, said that he was in the studio busy producing to come up with “new and exciting projects.”

Jackson 5

Jackson said in a statement released by rep Dr. Tohme : “My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we’ve certainly shared many great experiences, but at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them.” Jermaine Jackson, 53, was in Australia when he said in a statement on Wednesday that he and his band was working together on their music for the tour scheduled next year. “It is going to be more like a family affair,” he told the Australian Associated Press. “(Younger sister) Janet’s going to open and, of course, the original Jackson 5 … Michael, Randy and the whole family. … We’re in the studio, we’re planning on being out there next year.” Michael has all along shunned public appearances with his brothers. He has never shown encouragement for a reunion talk. He was not even present to collect a lifetime achievement award in Los Angeles in September in order to avoid showing up with his brothers. The Jackson 5 rose to fame in the early 1970s. They had belted out singles like “I Want You Back,” “ABC” and “I’ll Be There.” The group had their last tour in 1984, by which time Michael Jackson was a huge star in his own right.
Till then Michael can sooth his musical pursuit in his sweet old studio and all he can say about it is, “…developing new and exciting projects that I look forward to sharing with my fans in concert soon.”

Robbie Williams

The former band mates came together in Robbie’s latest quest. Robbie Williams was heard out by Take That’s lead singer Gary Barlow. Robbie’s band former mates visited him in Los Angeles to hear his latest tracks of his new album. Gary Barlow was Williams’ bitter rival. Robbie left the band in 1995 following a series of run-ins and rows after which he remaining four members eventually disbanded in 1996. Gary has told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “We had some great hanging out time with Robbie in Los Angeles and he played us some of his new stuff. It was really good. He started out with us so we have a connection.” Take That had performed on a comeback tour in 2005 when they had reformed to bring out a new album in 2005. Gary, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen of Take That had persuaded Robbie to reunite.

Robbie Williams has had his share of musical disasters and flop albums, with his recent flop record ‘Rudebox’. Robbie leads a withdrawn life of his own. He was reportedly out of his relationship with girlfriend Ayda Field to focus on his music. Robbie known as a recluse in the music field has also been in news for his alien connection. He has reportedly been in an alien camp to develop his new album songs. The singer has claimed to have had several ET encounters. During his recent visit to Trout Lake in Washington he was seen carrying a ideo equipment in his search for aliens. Trout Lake in Washington is regarded as “… America’s number one UFO hotspot and a magnet for true believers in aliens,” according to Extraterrestrial expert Michael C. Luckman. Robbie has been identified as an alien ambassador by Michael. The ET expert said : “Robbie used the occasion as an opportunity to write several new songs about aliens. I wouldn’t be surprised if Robbie may be planning an alien album…”

Tom Jones

Tom Jones the famous pop singer with a powerful voice has said sorry to his wife. The woman in Tom’s life who stood by his side for half a century has been in Tom’s new album 24 Hours. The song “The Road” was dedicated by Jones publicly.The song speaks of their true love when they were childhood sweethearts in the South Wales mining town of Pontypridd.

Tom Jones has earned a reputation for being a ladies’ man. The apology comes in the lyrics : “Felt the weakness, when I was strong,/ Held sweetness, when it was wrong,” is what he feels. the Welsh singer says he has seen her crying “tears of rain” and left her “shattered on the ground”, but promises: “The road always returns to you, and my love, it still belongs to you.”

Sorry does not seem so hard a word after all. At 68, Tom Jones is going great guns. His new and fresh album will be promoting him and his long lost wife Linda. The album will be pure original material, a great thing after a gap of 15 years.

In 1987 he paid £50,000 to a model who brought a paternity suit against him, and also had a long affair with Mary Wilson, of the Supremes. It is a ripe time and age for Tom to undo his wrong. “I hope the song straightens things out. It was almost like going into a confessional box. We still have the same basic feelings and the same values and we are both Welsh…My wife is a quiet person…We come from the same place, so I can’t bulls*** my wife,” he said in an interview.

Tom’s son Mark,is Sir Tom’s manager and he feels one day his father will reach the place just like Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond who had redefined their career at a very ripe age. Sir Tom Jones’ son also feels that his father’s latest album might be a change in career goal and might just steer forward his father’s musical journey so far.

Tom Jones wants to dedicate the album in a very new way by achieving his grand status. His album’s maturity and originality may put an end to the long-suffering his wife had to go through. The originality of lyrics and music is his first in 15 years. Sir Tom was knighted in 2006 and has sold more than 100 million records and his estimated fortune stands at a whopping £170 million.
