Though reports have been going around that a reconciliation between Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri has gone down, the singer put them to rest when talking about her so-called ex on the radio. While fielding a question about the hip hop producer during a radio interview in Atlanta, Janet told the host “I’m not the type of girl that stay in touch with your ex like that.” After realizing that her phrasing could be misconstrued, Janet added that she and Jermaine are still good friends, saying “I love him to death. We’re still connected. We’re still good friends. We still talk.” To me, those two statements are so polar off each other. It makes you wonder.

Christina Aguilera recently had an interview with UK’s Cosmopolitan magazine that she finds the female body more attractive than the male body. The singer said “I think women are such sensual beings. And, I mean, I’m attracted to men ultimately – I’m married (to music marketing executive Jordan Bratman) and I love my husband and I love what we do together. But honestly? If I had the choice between viewing a naked man or a naked woman, I’d choose the woman. We’re just naturally sexier and more beautiful to look at.” I wonder if her husband ever gets worried that Christina’s eyes are wandering.

Douche bag producer Scott Storch revealed in a recent interview with Details magazine that he only produced Brooke Hogan’s album ‘Undiscovered’ because he felt pressured by the wannabe singer’s wrestler daddy, Hulk Hogan. Scott said “I love Brooke, but I did that s**t because her father was putting all sorts of pressure on me. Sure, it was fun. But the thing is, I didn’t make one good bit of music when I was high on coke. Not one bit.” I guess being high was the only way that he could make it through the day after having to listen to her voice for hours on end.

Lady Gaga picked up the Best New Artist award at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. At the awards show, the singer also gave an intense and interesting performance of her single ‘Paparazzi’. Lady Gaga talked about her performance in a recent interview saying “I wanted to say something honest and real and not just give a performance where I was jacking off on stage the whole time about my record. It was really for my fans, who I knew would be at home cheering and swooning.” I was able to catch her performance and I can’t really say that I’m swooning. To be honest, I was quite disturbed by it.

Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong recently had an interview with Maxim. In that interview, the rock star talked about what drug he will never do again. The band’s front man said “Acid. I don’t regret doing it, but. I sure as fuck wouldn’t do it now. I’m way too neurotic. I’d be, like, sitting in the corner sucking my thumb for nine hours.” Honestly, I can imagine him behaving like that. I don’t know. There’s just something about the way that he looks that screams that sort of behavior. I’m not talking about the drug use here, alright? It’s just the thumb sucking thing.

If you happen to be a Jonas Brothers fan, then I’m sure you’ve heard ‘Much Better’, a song off the trio’s new album ‘Lines, Vines and Trying Times’. You should also be aware that it’s that song that makes a little dig at Joe’s ex-girlfriend, the singer of ‘Teardrops on My Guitar’, Taylor Swift. Everyone’s speculating that the song is about the country cutie but we’re all going to be left at speculation because Joe isn’t confirming anything. Joe talked about it in a recent interview and said “We went through a lot in the past year and a half, all of us. And you’re just going to have to get the record and figure it out for yourself.” He should just own up to it. Taylor did when she released ‘Forever and Always’.

The Killers front man Brandon Flowers recently had an interview with Entertainment Weekly talking about the difference between their fans in Britain and in America. He said “We’ve been embraced in Britain in a way that I’ll never understand, and it’s such a wonderful thing. But over here [in America], people are still so obsessed with Led Zeppelin and Nirvana, those sorts of bands, that nobody else is allowed [to grow]. It’s not just us; there are a lot of great bands that have been held down or confined by the influence of these people that we’ve put up on pedestals. I’m tired of it, you know? I just want to knock them all off! And people don’t like that attitude. It’s almost like they don’t believe that it’s possible that anybody else can be the real deal.”

If you’re wondering why the Jonas Brothers are such good little boys, you better ask their mom. Denise Jonas recently opened up about her famous trio of kids in the July issue of ‘Good Housekeeping’. Nick admits “She makes us be careful in the hotel room…[She makes us] put back the towels, straighten the bed.” Considering how hotels have their own cleaning service, she sounds kind of strict. Mama Jonas also talked about her sons’ purity rings saying “They are men. They have desires. They have testosterone. If they make a mistake, I’m not going to hate them. I don’t think they are above or below being seduced. I would be foolish if I thought that. I pray for them.”

Lady Gaga recently had an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald where she talked about being who she is both on stage and off. The ‘Poker Face’ singer said “The biggest misconception about me is I’m a character or a persona. That when the lights and cameras turn off, I turn into a pumpkin. It’s simply not true. I make music and art and design all day long. Yes, I wash my face and go to sleep but when I wake up, I am always Lady Gaga.” There’s nothing fake about this one folks. What you see is always going to be what you get.
