Kara DioGuardi announced as Idol's 4th Judge

The beautiful songwriter/producer/singer Kara DioGuardi has been announced as American Idol's fourth judge. Americanidol.com reported the news today:

Grammy-Nominated songwriter Kara DioGuardi has joined American Idol as a fourth judge. She will sit alongside Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson at the judges' table and use her background as an award-winning songwriter and producer to praise or critique the wannabe hopefuls throughout the competition.

"She is a smart, sassy lady, and one of America's most successful songwriters. We know she will bring a new level of energy and excitement to the show."

"We had originally intended for American Idol to have four judges," said executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz. "We've seen from our international series that having a fourth judge creates a dynamic that benefits both the contestants and the viewers."

Janet Jackson's Lingere Range

Pop Megastar Janet Jackson is readying the release of her first fashion range: "Control". The range is lingere at the moment, but Janet is eager to design new ranges at a later date. Read the following report about Janet's exclusive range:

The legendary hip-hop and R&B diva teamed with Bruno Schiavi, the Australian lingerie designer behind Dr. Rey's Shapewear line (named for "Dr. 90210" fixture Dr. Robert Rey), for her debut fashion duet. The 18-piece line is named after the hit single from Jackson's 1986 multiplatinum album "Control," is designed to be comfortable for a range of sizes - 32A to 44G, and is crafted of mostly satin and lace.

Items will be manufactured in China and will be in department stores by late this year or early 2009. Jackson and Schiavi are currently in negotiations with major chains to carry the line; U.S. stores will be revealed in coming months, with releases in Australia, Japan and Europe to follow.

Jackson said the combination of beauty and comfort was the primary driver for the designs, though affordability was also paramount. Price points for the bra and underwear pieces are all under $40.

"I hate when you've had on a bra all day long and you just can't wait to take it off - every woman has experienced that," she said. "A lot of lingerie tends to leave those marks and be uncomfortable. This line is about detail, fit and comfort as well as beauty and making women feel sexy."

Danity Kane - Video Update!

Danity Kane have just finished filming the official video for their latest single "Bad Girl". The track, which features Missy Elliot, is the second single taken from the girls' second album "Welcome To The Dollhouse". MTV were at the shoot of the new video, and here's what they reported about the video:
“It’s on fire,” Aubrey O’Day told MTV News on the Los Angeles set of the “Bad Girl” video, which is being directed by Erik White (Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown). “Five-inch heels, massive choreography — Gil Duldulao is our choreographer, and he’s [worked with] Janet Jackson. He’s fab.”
O’Day’s scene takes place in a dimly lit police interrogation room. She’s sitting across from a rugged detective, requisite lamp shining in her face. Soon, her alter ego emerges. Wearing a skintight leather catsuit, O’Day grabs the detective by his shirt and throws him on the table. Then she straddles him and cuffs his hands to the table, allowing for her escape.
The finished product will likely be a stylized mix between “The Matrix” and “Speed Racer,” ending with all of the DK girls kicking butt in a massive fight scene that closes the clip.

The video is confirmed to be released sometime this month.
Looking forward to seeing the video?

Janet's tour selling well!

Janet Jackson's first tour in 7 years is selling fantastically according to the company running the show, LiveNation. In fact, it's such a sell-out that Madonna hasn't even sold as many tickets as Janet. That's great news for Janet, who's last album "Discipline" hasn't sold well at all! Have a read of this....

Madonna's ticket sales may have gotten off to a slow start, but Janet Jackson's are doing fine, claims Live Nation, their concert-tour company.

Jackson is hitting the road to promote her latest CD, "Discipline", which hasn't fared well on the charts since its February release.

But hopes are still high for Jackson's tour at Live Nation, where the chairman left last week after criticism that he was paying stars too much for the return. "She's a tour record-breaker, having grossed more than $100 million in her career".

So why is Jackson apparently selling well while only half of the seats at Madonna's L.A. show have been sold? Her tickets are cheaper than Madonna's, ranging from $46 to $126 at the Izod Center in New Jersey, for example, where Jackson performs Oct. 17. And unlike Madonna, who almost always favors her new material in shows, Jackson is willing to do the fan-favorite hits.

"We're very happy with the ticket sales," said a Live Nation spokesman. "She hasn't complained about us. Thank God."

Check This Out: Mariah's Migrate Cover

Pretty much unknown act Dave Patten has recorded a cover version of Mariah Carey's track "Migrate", which features on her latest album "E=MC2". The cover is actually surprisingly great and brings something new to the table. The original track is more of a R&B/Hip-Hop inspired track whereas Dave's version has a strictly acoustic/easy listening vibe.

Amerie signed to Def Jam label

R&B singer Amerie has left Columbia records and has signed a 3 album deal with Def Jam records, part of the Island group. Def Jam, home to Rihanna, Mariah Carey and Jane Jackson, has a successful past in making R&B artists big in the industry. After 3 modestly successful albums, could Amerie be the next big thing since Rihanna? Here is the news confirmed:

The 1 Thing hitmaker has parted ways with Columbia Records and inked a deal with Def Jam, the company that secured the massive track Umbrella for Rihanna last year (07), catapulting her to global fame.
And Amerie, who has previously released two albums to moderate success, is hoping the new contract with Def Jam will help boost her career to even greater heights.
