Madonna Apparently Not So Popular In Slovenia!

Maybe next time Madonna goes through a reinvention, she can transform herself into someone who's popular in Slovenia.

The pop queen has been forced to cancel an upcoming concert in the eastern European nation's capital city of Ljubljana, though no one can quite agree as to why.

A rep for Live Nation insisted that the Aug. 20th gig was scrapped due to "unforeseen logistical difficulties"—and absolutely nothing to do with the indifference of Slovenians, who, per the local media, haven't welcomed Madonna with open arms (and trust us, this is one star who knows from guns).

"There is no problem with ticket sales—absolutely," Laszlo Borsos, the managing director of Live Nation's Budapest arm, said.

Several Slovenian news outlets claim otherwise, reporting that just 7,000 tickets have been sold for the 63,000-seat venue.

Though even if the reports of modest-at-best sales are incorrect, the choice of arena may have been overly optimistic in the first place. The city only has a population of 250,000, which means a full house would have required the presence of a quarter of its residents.

Rihanna Getting Her First Rap Sample?

Rihanna is quickly becoming hip-hop’s most in-demand feature. After her recent appearances on Jay-Z’s “Run This Town” and in Kanye West’s video for “Paranoid,” the singer is now getting her first rap sample.

Wale samples Rihanna’s “Question Existing” on “Contemplate,” one of the tracks off his debut album Attention: Deficit. The song was produced by Syience, the man behind Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s “Hollywood” and John Legend’s “Take Me Away.”

The deep and dark record finds the D.C. native contemplating his place in hip-hop. He asks himself, “Am I doing this for them or me?” while name-checking everyone from Courtney Love to River Phoenix.

“Who am I living for?/ Is this my limit?/ Can I endure some more?” Rihanna sings on the hook, which originally appeared on her 2007 album Good Girl Gone Bad. She may re-record her vocals before Wale’s album drops this fall.

Death Threats Issued To Jay-Z And Beyonce!

As if the Brooklyn rapper didn't have enough on his hands with The Game and the rising D.O.H. (Death of Hova) campaign. He, along with his wife Beyonce have been the recipients of letters with death threats as the topic.

Leon Desmond Barrett, a native of Detroit, was charged for allegedly sending letters to celebrities such as the rapper and former NFL star Jerome Bettis threatening to kill them.

One letter said: "I'm getting ready to start killing some more people. Beyonce, Jay-Z, Jerome Bettis and Tune-up Man are the first 4 people I'm getting ready to kill."

Although all of the celebrities have been contacted about the letter, there has yet to be a response from any. Barrett has not appeared in U.S. District Court in Detroit yet.

Michael Jackson Finally Set For Burial!!!

Members of the Jackson family have decided to inter the King of Pop at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park cemetery in Los Angeles' Hollywood Hills, reportedly filing paperwork allowing officials to proceed with the burial.

The decision comes after the singer's older brother Jermaine publicly argued his sibling should be buried in the grounds of Neverland, his former home in Santa Barbara, California.

But Jackson's mother Katherine reportedly disagreed, insisting her son never wanted to return to the sprawling estate, which he deserted after his child molestation trial in 2005.

Showbiz writer Ross King tells morning show GMTV, "The word we are getting is the family has at last signed papers that means he will be buried at Forest Lawn Memorial. It's a famous resting place and lots of famous people are buried there."

Will Paula Abdul Move To So You Think You Can Dance?

Now that Paula Abdul announced that she’s leaving American Idol, what will she do next?

While Abdul is filming another guest-starring role on an episode of Lifetime’s Drop Dead Gorgeous, FOX executives spoke at a Television Critics’ Association panel on Thursday in Los Angeles, saying Abdul’s judging days are far from over — she may just scoot over to another show — and that there’s even still a chance she could return to Idol.

When asked if he would like Abdul to be a judge on So You Think You Can Dance, executive producer Nigel Lythgoe told reporters, “Absolutely there’s no question about that. I don’t know anyone who’s had her experience. I’ve been trying to get her since season one.”

In fact, Lythgoe isn’t wasting any time. “I spoke to her yesterday morning. We didn’t talk about the negotiations. That’s a private issue,” he said. “We’re going to Vegas for season six this weekend and she’s coming out to meet me and we’re going to talk about what opportunities are out there.”

Lythgoe, who is also a judge on the dance competition, wasn’t completely convinced that Abdul was done with Idol. “I still don’t know that she’s going to leave Idol,” he said. “Until Idol goes on the air there’s always the opportunity for negotiations.”

However, FOX chairman Peter Rice later told reporters that he was sad to see Abdul go but said, “Our understanding is we have concluded the negotiation and Paula will not be returning to the show.”

Mariah Carey "Obessed" Performance On America's Got Talent

Ciara Helping Out At School Supply Drive

R&B singer Ciara attended the 2nd Annual Do Something School Supply Drive which is an organization from The Boys And Girls Clubs of America which helps students with their school supply needs.

Ciara attended the charity event in New York City on Tuesday alongside singer Leah Renee and Chaske Spencer.

In related news, the singer’s hair stylist recently revealed that her new cut is actually a wig. Kiyah Wright told BellaSugar that it is a hair piece, and further explained:

“She still has really long hair—this look is just for the summer. She’s in L.A. for the summer and wanted something lighter, something different.

Ciara has such a little, petite, cute face, and she told me that she wanted to go short. She wanted to do the Halle Berry, but I thought, ‘We need a little sexy, we need a little swagger in front, so let’s just give it a little bit of lift,’” she says.

“But I didn’t want it to look like Rihanna’s cut, either, so I cut all of it with thinning sheers and kept it tight on the sides, then added a swoop bang and gave her a reddish-auburn highlight in the front, just to break up the black a little bit.”

2009 Teen Choice Awards Confirms Britney Performance

Stars To Make Michael Jackson Tribute Album?

Madonna, Beyonce, Mariah Carey and Robbie Williams are among the host of big names reportedly planning to record a charity disc of Michael Jackson's greatest hits.

Other world-famous acts taking part include Whitney Houston, Usher and Brit schoolboy sensation Shaheen Jafargholi, with legends Stevie Wonder, 59, Diana Ross, 65, and Lionel Richie, 60, also expected to lay down tracks.

The idea came about after a succession of stars sang cover versions of the singer's hits at his memorial service. Producers are asking the stars to perform their favourite Michael songs.

Mariah, 39, will sing "I'll Be There" and Britain's Got Talent star Shaheen, 12, who wowed fans at the Los Angeles memorial with his version of "Who's Loving You," will be asked to record that track and Jacko's 1970s smash "Ben."

Madonna, 50, could be tempted by "Beat It" or "Billie Jean," while other songs expected to be covered include "Rock With You," "She's Out Of My Life" and "Bad."

And Robbie, 35, is being lined up to sing "Man In The Mirror" amid reports his former Take That bandmates could cover "ABC," "Working Day And Night" or "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough."

A live tribute concert is also being planned at O2 Arena, involving the singer's family and other guests, on what would have been his 51st birthday on August 29.

Leona Lewis is going to release an autobiography titled "Leona Dreams," due for publication on October 15th and will feature exclusive behind-the-scenes photographs by Dean Freeman.

The book will include over 100 new photographs, suggesting that pictures and not meticulous prose, will be the means by which Lewis tells her tale.

“The last two years have been an unbelievable experience for me,” she said in a statement. “So to have it documented in pictures and to be able to tell people in my own words how it feels means a lot to me.”

"This will be the first time Leona tells her story of how the X Factor launched her from waitressing in Pizza Hut in Hackney to stardom on both sides of the Atlantic,” raved Fenella Bates, Lewis’s editor at Hodder & Stoughton. “It is a real-life fairytale and every girl’s dream.”

Paula Abdul Is NOT Returning To American Idol!!!

Paula Abdul's American Idol journey has ended!!!

Less than a week after E! News confirmed Kara DioGuardi will be returning to the judges' table, Abdul wrote on Twitter Tuesday that she will not be back for the show's ninth season.

"With sadness in my heart, I've decided not to return to #IDOL. I'll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all...being a part of a show that I helped from day1 become an international phenomenon," read two tweets posted shortly after 7:30 p.m.

Fox confirmed the news shortly afterward.

"What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me," Abdul continued. "It truly has been breathtaking, especially over the past month.

"I do without any doubt have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all."

"Paula Abdul has been an important part of the American Idol family over the last eight seasons and we are saddened that she has decided not to return to the show," Fox and producer FremantleMedia North America said in a statement. "While Paula will not be continuing with us, she's a tremendous talent and we wish her the best."

Abdul's rep didn't immediately return a request for comment, but her manager, David Sonenberg, was rather blunt recently when asked about Abdul's prospects in the wake of the $45 million deal inked by Ryan Seacrest and the even more mind-boggling sum reportedly being negotiated by Simon Cowell.

Jazmine Sullivan Interview With Soul Culture

Rihanna: Chris Brown May Come Closer to Me

Rihannna has said it before and she'll say it again: There's no need to keep Chris Brown half a football field away from her, no matter what he admitted to doing.

As it stands, Brown, who will be sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to assaulting the "Umbrella" singer, is under court order not to communicate with her in any way, and not to come within 50 yards of her – 10 yards if they're both at the same event.

"If asked, we will tell the court that all that's necessary is a level-one order: That Brown not annoy, molest or harass her," Rihanna's lawyer Donald Etra tells PEOPLE. "No stay-away order was ever requested by Rihanna, nor did she ever believe it was necessary."

It will be up to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg whether to ease restrictions between Brown, 20, and Rihanna, 21. At the last hearing, Schnegg said she'd consider Rihanna's request for a less-restrictive order, which could allow the pair to be together.

Katharine McPhee Goes Blonde For New Album

Katharine McPhee is a born brunette, but for the cover shoot for her new album Unbroken, which hits stores October 6th, the singer is trading her long brown locks for a sexy platinum shag.

“My music is a little more edgy so that inspired me to be adventurous,” she explains of taking the leap to blonde with stylist Peter Savic.

“I’ve never dyed my hair before so this was a pretty drastic change. I’ve always been known as a brunette but I’ve been thinking about it for a long time and it kind of just fit with all of the searching with the music and experimenting that I would do the same thing with my look.” And she’s been noticing other effects of the new style as well.

“The look has affected the way I dress, it’s inspired me to be more adventurous with what I decide to wear. It’s silly that something so simple as changing your hair could have such a big effect,” she muses.

“I’m just having fun with it. This is a great time for me to do something different. I’m young — I always try to have a good time.”

Complex : How do you feel about your album and the way people are receiving it? It’s tough out here right now.
Keri Hilson: It’s doing very well. Especially given this industry—even though the business is hurting, the album is still achieving its projections. I’m proud of the album, but you can never expect how the world will receive you or your music.

Complex : Were you writing at the time for people?
Keri Hilson: Oh, yeah. I was writing right after high school. When I graduated is when I started placing my credits.

Complex : Wow, so you were in college, cashing checks?
Keri Hilson: My very first check was for Ruben Studdard’s first album, like $25,000. And my family was like, “What the hell is this? This is what you’ve been doing? Who the hell brings home a check like this?” They’re thinking $2,500 here and there, whatever. It was crazy.

Jessica Simpson To Launch Lingerie Collection

With successful lines encompassing everything from frocks to luggage, bikinis and fragrances under her stylish belt, Jessica Simpson might just be the reigning queen of celebrity merchandising.

Soon she will be adding lingerie to her style empire — and she’s talking with WWD.com about the new collection, which has just launched for the trade industry at the Vandale showrooms in Manhattan.

“My intimates are feminine and sweet with a hint of fun,” she tells the paper. And her jump to lingerie was born out of a genuine passion for the stuff, “I love lingerie. What girl doesn’t?” she asks rhetorically. “My lingerie reflects the way I’m feeling when I wake up and helps me set the tone for my day.”

As any buxom woman knows, however, finding gorgeous designs to set that tone can be tricky. “It is important to me personally…to be able to wear my own line,” she says.

“Vandale is developing a great collection of feminine, sexy, regular and full-figured bras which are going to be amazing. We are also working on a sleepwear collection that I know I will live in. We have focused on using really soft fabrics that feel good against your skin. The whole line centers around great basics for every day that are comfortable and fit your body. We spent a lot of time on the details. I really wanted to make this line special.”

Her favorite creations? “I love the seersucker group because it is just classic and so adorable. We also have a beautiful print group that was inspired by Morocco. It is both exotic and feminine at the same time. We also created a denim and floral set that is flirty and fun,” she says.
