The craze over ‘Glee’ doesn’t seem to be dying down anytime soon. Billboard has revealed some very interesting stuff regarding the musical TV show. There are reports that the cast members of the show could potentially get their own record deals with Columbia. The cast is also going to be recording a special version of Wham’s ‘Last Christmas’ to be released as a single next month but it won’t be used for the show. There’s also talk for an episode of all original songs as songwriters have been contacting the show’s creator to feature their songs. One of those writers is Diane Warren, who will be writing two ballads for the show. Wow!
A court hearing recently concluded that Lil Wayne will stand trial next March on drug possession and weapons charges he got himself back in January 2008. Even though the rapper pleaded not guilty, Chief criminal Yuma County Attorney Roger Nelson says that his office “doesn’t offer misdemeanor plea deals on such cases and that’s probably one of the reasons why the case hasn’t been resolved.” Tough break for Lil Wayne! I bet that it wasn’t the Christmas present that he wanted for the holidays. At least we have something to look forward to next year. It’s always entertaining when celebrities go on trial.
Tori Amos has dabbled in a couple of Yuletide carols but could a full length album of holiday tunes be on the way for the artist? There has been no official word from the singer or her people but Universal Republic has listed an album titled ‘Christmas’ from Tori which is set to be released on November. That’s pretty interesting. I’m itching for any of her music. I love Tori Amos period. But then again, a full album of holiday music from her doesn’t sound very appealing to me. I guess I’ll figure things out when I hear even just a bit of that Christmas music from her.
