Kylie Minogue is a sell out – in a good way. The Australian singer sold out all eight of her UK shows in less than two hours which prompted promoters to add another seven UK shows to her schedule. Tickets went on sale at 9AM on Monday for the eight original scheduled shows and by 10AM the promoter added the extra shows to meet the demand.

Kylie has a lot to party for apart from that. Her new album ‘X’ is #1 in Australia and #4 in the UK during its first week of release. She has also agreed to perform at the Brit Awards in February which will be hosted by Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne.

Jessica Sierra, a former “American Idol” finalist, was arrested early Saturday morning and charged with disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest, and violation of parole. She was on probation because of an earlier incident where she was charged with felony battery and cocaine possession.This earlier incident occurred in April. Sierra was accused of assaulting a man with a glass in a nightclub in Tampa. She was then found with cocaine on her person as she was being booked at the jail. It was just November 19 when a judge sentenced her to 12 months probation and submission to random drug testing.

This latest arrest came Saturday morning at approximately 2:10 a.m. Sierra was at a bar when officers attempted to arrest her, she tried to push them away and run from the scene. Her lawyer gave no comment, saying that he had not yet spoken with his client.

Sierra was slated to appear on the upcoming reality show “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.” The show will follow twelve celebrities as they go through rehab for their various addictions.

Is Sierra actually a celeb in the first place?

The alternative band Incubus is auctioning off a boatload of their stuff on eBay. It’s not because they’re broke. It’s all for the benefit of the Make Yourself Foundation, a charity founded by the band which gives to a host of other charities.

This past year, the band raised over $600,000 to support the foundation via their tours in the US and Europe. They are now looking to add to that number via the eBay auctions. There are over 50 items on sale including lead singer Brandon Boyd’s 2006 Mini Cooper, their custom Xbox, a pool cue and a lot of sneakers.

If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. And that’s what Celine Dion just did when she cancelled a concert planned for next year in Halifax, Canada because she didn’t like what the local media and residents were blabbing on about her.

Celine’s manager and husband Rene Angelil released a statement about it saying “I’m not saying that all people in Halifax are negative, but … this is a question of feeling. We’re humans. If you would go to a city and you read day after day … ‘This is not the place for you, you shouldn’t have come, I expected someone else,’ I don’t know how you would feel about going there.”

Say goodbye to Celine Halifax.

The Jonas Brothers took to the stage at the 2007 American Music Awards where Joe took a spill right at the top of their performance. Joe put up a blog about it recently and talked about what went on through the whole thing.

He said that after he fell, he saw the smiling faces of the fans and knew that he had to get up and go on with the show. Joe had so much fun performing that he didn’t even notice that he was bleeding until someone backstage pointed it out to him. And it seems that he got cut not only on his hands but on his leg too.

Does he feel no pain or what?

If you’re still in doubt, the 2007 American Music Awards held on Sunday should be all the proof you need that 2007 is the year of Rihanna. Not only did she rock the red carpet, she also rocked her performance and took some awards home while she’s at it.

Rihanna did a medley of two of her hits ‘Umbrella’ and ‘Hate That I Love You’. She performed a classical rendition of ‘Umbrella’ complete with the whole string section. Then, Ne-Yo came out to perform their duet. Later on in the night, the Barbados hottie picked up Favorite Female soul/R&B Artist beating out Beyonce and Fantasia.

MTV2’s rebroadcast of the MTV European Music Awards Tokio Hotel’s award acceptance and performance.

Tokio Hotel brought the rain indoors as they closed the show with a dramatic performance of “Monsoon.”

He’s been battling YouTube uploaders and several fan sites over the use of material in any way possible and people have gotten mad over it. But now, Prince is looking to make nice with his supporters the best way he knows how. And that’s through song all you purple-loving people.

Prince released a new track on his site called ‘PFUnk’ and even gave the song to PrinceFansUnited.com. It’s a site that was formed by 3 of the largest Prince fan sites as a way to fight back against Prince’s orders of cease and desist.

Make up your mind Prince! Either you’re with them or against them!

In an unprecedented move, Billboard has decided to revise their charts by allowing records sold at only one retailer to appear on the lists. As a result, Britney Spears did not take the top spot on the albums’ chart but rather surrendered it to the Eagles.

Britney’s ‘Blackout’ was expected to sell 350,000 copies based on projections. However, it only sold 290,000 copies since its release last week. By contrast, Carrie Underwood’s latest CD sold 527,000 copies on its debut week. The Eagles’ double disc, their first album of original material in 28 years which is only available at Wal-Mart, sold over 700,000 copies.

Tokio Hotel will release Scream America! a limited edition two-song single December 11th! The latest from Tokio Hotel will feature “Scream” and “Ready Set Go!” remixed by Jade Puget of AFI and Blaqk Audio and will be available in stores everywhere.

Adema is one of those awesome bands that you just can’t get enough of, even if you’ve only heard them on the radio and are not completely sure who they are but really can’t get a particular song out of your head. That is the sign of a good song, after all, so you can rest assured that the music Adema puts together is strong and catchy, and just the kind of stuff you are going to want to hear live. Lucky for you, you can do just that now that Adema is going on tour! Just make sure you act fast to get yourself tickets because they are sure to sell out quickly and you know you won’t want to miss out!

No wonder ‘Spice Girls’ tickets were so hard to get! Mel Chisholm (aka: Sporty Spice) says that the Spice Moms (or Old Spice as I like to call them) will strip down on stage and go completely nude.

Chisholm says, “We do actually go naked in the show, completely.”

Before you get too excited, I should warn you that even though they’ll be naked, you won’t be seeing much because they’ll be covered with stage props. Who wants to see them naked anyway? Maybe 10 years ago, but certainly not now.

The band is currently rehearsing sexy dance routines and has agreed to sing in the nude – with stage props covering their modesty.

The dark-pop-rock album with the single “Williamsburg” and standout track “Smile For Them” makes it clear that Armor For Sleep has taken notice of society’s fascination with self-made celebrity and reality stars… and they aren’t shy about it.The video for “Williamsburg” will make its world premiere on TRL, MTV and mtvU October 29th, the day before the album hits stores. Shot with the intention to be a social commentary on the Hipster scene, the video gives a satirical lesson straight from the Hipster 101 classroom.

Her voice is over computerized.. It’s like they are trying to cover up too much how bad she really is or was at the time of recording.. Some of the beats are quite catchy.. cud see them being played in a club.. But I don’t think it’s worth any major attention. But we all know it’ll probably sell really well like gimme more just because of her name and cause she does have a loyal fan base.. Despite the fact she can’t sing! More so I have said time and again to my friends and in my groups while having a heated debate on this come back album of Britney’s is that there are many facts that are in line with this release, she is now divorced and is in a bitter custody battle for her kids with ex-hubby Kevin and these things are overshadowing the release of this album as the paps are busy with her custody case but with so much being written and told about her it is only going to up the interest in her new album, well I can’t figure out what’s happening next in the Brit story.

All you movie fanatics don’t have to worry though because Madonna wouldn’t be acting. Although I’m not really sure if it’s good news or bad. This time, Madonna is sitting in the director’s chair for a new documentary.

Rosie O’Donnell revealed it in the ‘Ask Ro’ section of her website when asked about what movie she saw with the Queen of Pop when they were spotted together. Rosie described the documentary ‘I Am Because We Are’ as something devastating and amazing. It focuses on the poor, full of suffering lives of Malawi Children. Mainly, it’s about how AIDS has affected the lives of the children.

The documentary also highlights the work of Madonna’s organization Raising Malawi.

Much like the music on her upcoming album, Britney Spears’ album cover art for ‘Blackout’ has leaked. Do you believe it? I don’t. It’s a poor Photoshop job of one of her recent promo pictures. But People magazine published it as her official album cover, so yeah.‘Blackout’ will be released on October 30 as her record label announced earlier this week. It’s a twelve track album with most of the tracks already leaked out way before the release date.

The dance auditions that didn’t happen were supposedly for dancers for the music video of the second track of the album and her second single off of it ‘Piece of Me’.
