Biggest names in music industry lined up to lend their voices to the major music effort to help Haiti. Two songs have been recorded independently though proceeds from the both will be donated to charity organizations for Haiti relief.

The first track, ‘We Are The World’, that was originally written by Lionel Richi for 25 years ago to put a spotlight on the tragedy of famine in Africa has been revived to make a change this time again, helping victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

The recording was held on Feb. 1, 2010 with more than 50 stars contributing to the song, Barbara Streisand, Kanye West, Miley Cyrus, Beyonce, , Justin Timberlake, Lady GaGa, , , and even Michale Jackson’s kids among them.

The track is produced by Quincy Jones just like the original version 25 years ago.

leona-lewis-turns-down-playboy-offer

X Factor winner and super successful pop singer is “too shy” to pose nude for Playboy cover, even if she’s offered hellova lot of money for that.

According to reports, Playboy Magazine has formally offered Lewis massive $2.5 million for the nude cover shoot in a bid to draw more readers and show “they remain relevant in the modern world.”

However, Leona is not enthusiastic about shedding her clothes off for probably the most well known and popular men’s publication in the world.

There is no way Leona will strip however much they offer. For starters, she is just far too shy,” Leona’s friend said.

Her rep is yet to comment.

katy-perry-performance-2009-mtv-emas

Last night’s 2009 MTV Europe music Awards were really glam, and the performances were really cool but there were some I liked and some I didn’t really like a lot.

I liked in the center of Berlin, that looked really urban aggressive. I liked Leona Lewis’s ballad, it was beautiful. But sill next time I think of MTV EMAs I’ll remember these performances:

3. Beyoncé Knowles, ‘Sweet Dreams’

Just because there’s a lot of red here. Red leotard, red stockings, red gloves, huge red heart, red satin sheet, red-clad dancers, everything is red. And I liked her solo dance performance, it was … fun.

2. , opening performance

This cabaret theme is a lot better than riding a gigantic lip stick last year! Just loved Katy’s retro chic and her medley. Beyonce’s ‘Halo’ was especially wonderful, don’t you think?

My #1 pick + photos…

Fierrrrrce

Leona Lewis has presented the official artwork for her second studio album, Echo, that will hit US music stores November 17th.

Doesn’t it remind you of Beyoncé Knowles’s I Am… Sasha Fierce cover art?

Leona is often dubbed as the second Beyonce, so her artwork is probably her way to deal with the comparison.

beyonce-knowles-i-am-sasha-fierce

Lewis has tried a new image for the artwork, a more mature one, as it shows how much her music has evolved:

I titled my album Echo, since an echo describes a big, organic sound. I’m in the midst of the recording process, working with incredible songwriters and producers, and my music has really evolved. It’s so exciting to create something new,” Leona said.

For the sophomore record, Leona teamed up with , Ryan Tedder from OneRepublic, Max Martin, Xenomania and James Fauntleroy. So we should be ready for a brand new sound, though hope some of Leona’s sensual romanticism will still be present in her new songs.

The first single from the album, ‘Happy’ was released in early September.

Your thoughts, can Leona become the new Beyonce?

Mariah carey makes a musical about herslef

Mariah Carey is Mariah Carey’s biggest fan. She’s presently in talks to make a Broadway show based on her life. The musical is to be made in 2009, the singer’s spokesperson said.

The show will follow Mariah’s career from her discovery at the age of 20, to her marriage and divorce from producer Tommy Mottola and to her emotional and physical breakdown in early 2000s.

It must be very difficult for Mrs. Nick Cannon to find someone to portray herself. We all know how demanding she is and how much she loves herself. But the source reveals she eyes British rising star Leona Lewis for the role.

Mariah Carey wants Leona Lewis to portray her in the musical

Mariah’s not sure if she’ll star in it herself. Mariah secretly likes the idea of Leona Lewis playing her. Not only is she exotic, she’s the only one who they reckon would be able to tackle Mariah’s eight-octave vocal range.”

Any other stars to line up for audition? I don’t know about the whole list but High School Musical star and Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria are surely there on the list.
(I didn’t know Eva Longoria could sing)

Who would you like to see portraying Mariah Carey in the Broadway show?

Glam New year 2009

Ok, 2008 is almost over so it’s time to sum up what we’ve seen, enjoyed, got crazy or furious at during the year. Think making another list of mine, the last one this year.

TEEN OF THE YEAR

Miley Cyrus is teen of the year

Let’s begin with teens. The Teen of the Year is definitely Miley Cyrus. She’s made a way from a Disney Channel star to one of the most influential women in entertainment. She’s been different, shocking and amusing. She made a stir with her Vanity Fair shoot and she’s celebrated her sweet 16 in Disney Land. She’s # 1 teen of 2008.

Although, I do belive we must praise the Jonas Brothers, Chris Brown, Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato for the great work they’ve done. Though not on the top, they are surely among the best teens of the year!

  • Wings cut short, or sort of bdsm pleasure

  • You know I was just thinking about the things that make me vulnerable. Cause I personally hate this feeling, like being hanged in the air like being controlled from outside and unable to do my thing. Generally, who the hell was the first to come up with the idea of control? And the more important question, why do we need it? If I wanna do something I'll do it anyway and either way, and if I do it breaking some rules, escaping the CONTROL, then the feeling would just get better and the victory would just feel sweeter. So why do we need control and sort of submission it takes a long. What sort of bdsm pleasure is that supposed to give?

  • Stirring things up!

  • Did you ever provoke a fight with your guy? You love getting on his nerves because that makes him so obscure and funny – “cute” so we say. No, you’re not sadistic. Just the fact that after the make up, it feels so sweet to be the conqueror- to have the feeling of power! To feel the situation is under your control - to cause a fight and then to stop it. Isn’t it just so dramatically sweet to push the edges once in a while?

    I love pushing his triggers. Some may think I’m an evil witch, but I’m simply making our relationship tempered, exciting, resolute, pert.

    If you intentionally get into a fight with him – you are not sick in a head (and no, you’re not just a bitch). Scientists say that a healthy relationship is a relationship where there are arguments, and any argument needs a solution, right? That takes out our negative energy and brings us closer.

  • A Good bye to Ruslana

  • Prologue

    Once upon a time there was a little girl who was just like a real princess, but no one knew that she was a princess. She grew up and became a very successful model. She lived up on the Manhattan tower and had almost a prince like boyfriend. One day she got tired of others not seeing that princess inside her. Ruslana Korshunova killed herself. She jumped off that high evil tower.

  • Breaking Rules

  • No matter how obvious it sounds most of the rules have been created long before us. By rules I mean systematized experience of previous generations, like handshakes and etiquette, and things like going for a social smoke. There is a rule that ladies go in first into any door except the elevator.

    But rules are a need for the sense of stability around one. Society needs rules to forecast the effect of a cause, to have at least some confidence of the future. And this is what disappoints people. This is when they lose their confidence because things appear not the way they expected them to be. Those who were really dependent on expectations suffer from facing the world that is unpredictable, that the rules they believed in didn’t work at some turning point.

    So they say that only fools learn through their own mistakes. Don’t you remember your mom telling you not to stick your tong out and put it against the metallic balcony railing when it’s freezing cold outside? Why did I skip my SPSS class with that macho from senior class? All of my friends were telling me he was a player and had nothing else in his head except for getting laid. Why do we learn things only after we go through them? This is what humans are like.

  • Be what You want to Be

  • What do you call it when you feel something against your will? When the call of that something inside you starts ripping your self - esteem in pieces while your consciousness tells you to stop.

    I never had it when I was a child.

    I always felt what I wanted and I always wanted that what I felt.

    Being used to getting what I want I am stuck. Stuck in the position like being lost in the desert. There’s nowhere to go. I can’t deny what I feel but I also can’t afford to feel it. It’s against my beliefs and values. Hum… fuck the beliefs. I don’t care.

    No more. The human mind is such control-freak. It kills me. And if I continue it will sound like a confession to you and this is the least I want to do.

  • Sex Agenda

  • Inspired by “fuck” conversation last Saturday, which is a very delicate subject.

    All of us, living in a fast growing temper of big cities are busy. We go to work, go to college full time, or have kids to take care of. There are plenty of things to do. When crazy week days are over we have yoga or tango classes, and shopping to do aside the chorus, french classes and getting a good sleep.

    When is there time for sex?

    The right answer would be - there is always time for sex. But the stress and busyness lead some couples to pencil their intimacy. It is logical, simple and hot to know that your schedule after works has a mark “Ryan 8 pm”. It is exciting to feel the anticipation, but on the other hand do we feel it is comfortable to set up our special moments with an important person for us on a basis of a scheduled task? It seems awkward to plan it, it is out of style, especially for femme-fatale like me, but even when sex is spontaneous, in every woman's head it is always planned. (wink!)
