It looks like there will be more major shake up’s over at ‘American Idol’, as judge Jennifer Lopez hinted (heavily) at leaving the show, followed by Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler announcing his departure after two seasons.
And now it appears that Randy Jackson, who’s been with the show since it began, is also stepping away from the judges’ table. Read More »
Kanye West was spotted at a New Year’s Eve party  DJ’ing by the name of “DJ World Jeezy.”
According to sources, the party was hosted by Fergie in Las Vegas. Kanye played a 3-hour set and played songs including Rihanna’s We Found Love, some old school classics by MJ and others. He also played his own songs including “Nigga’s In Paris” for as many as 5 times.
Sources added that Kanye’s G.O.O.D Music family was also at the party. However, the people who paid a really big chunk of money ($275 to $15,000) to attend the party did not seem too happy with their new DJ’s performance. Some of them took to twitter to express their frustration with their DJ in a polite way. Two of those tweets go as the following:
Looks like Kanye West won’t have a good career in DJ’ing, right? Or do you think he’ll improve over time? See more photos from the event in the gallery.

Black Eyed Peas member Will.I.Am. has a new song titled “Great Times” and it’s hot! The song is fast tempo’ed and reminiscent of something he would have created with the Black Eyed Peas.
I guess Fergie was right when she said that the group would be seperating for a while and this is just the first product of the seperation.
Perhaps other members of the group will be coming forth with new material soon.
Check out the hot song inside.
The rumor mill is swirling with reports of a possible Black Eyed Peas lineup change.
Eurweb says Ashanti may be called in to take Fergie’s place when BEP’s frontwoman dips out of the spotlight for an indefinite leave of absence later this month.
Insiders say Ashanti was brought on to the Peas’ recent world tour to see if she could work with the band and she has apparently left a good impression.
An official announcement will reportedly be made sometime this month. Read More »
Gossiponthis.com is reporting that the music video for “We Are the World: 25 for Haiti†debuted Friday night (Feb 12) during the opening ceremony for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
This version of the song, featuring vocals from Justin Bieber, Jennifer Hudson, Lil Wayne, Janet Jackson, Miley Cyrus, Jamie Foxx, Mary J. Blige, Kanye West, T-Pain, Usher, Wyclef Jean and much more, is much more contemporary than the original but it fits today’s music era. The song’s original writer and singer Michael Jackson also appears in the song and video (his sister Janet sings the first chorus with footage of Mike thrown in). They also kept one of MJ’s original parts and show footage of him singing it (Nice!).
The 25th Anniversary recording features over 80 artists and performers. The recording of We Are The World 25 For Haiti embodied the same enthusiasm, sense of purpose and generosity as the original recording 25 years ago. Every one of the artists who participated, regardless of genre or generation, walked into the room with their hearts and souls completely open to coming together to help the people of Haiti.
The video shows footage of Haiti and the efforts surrounding its repair, along with footage of the artists mentioned above and more recording the song in the studio. If MJ was here he would be so happy..
