Miley Cyrus: ‘I’m A Stoner’

Miley a pot head? Ya don’t say...

According to People.com, actress-singer Miley Cyrus is a self-procliamed “stoner.” 

Miley celebrated her 19th birthday on November 23rd at Beacher’s Madhouse at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. In a video from the private soiree - which was hosted by pal Kelly Osbourne - Ms. Miley admits to how much she loves to smoke the ganja. 

She said at the bash during her Bob Marley birthday cake acceptance speech: 

"You know you’re a stoner when your friends make you a ‘Bob Miley’ [birthday] cake."  

"You know you smoke way too much fucking weed.”

WE-EED say that’s a pretty good way to tell too, Miles.

On top of confessing her love for marijuana, Cyrus gushes on how ‘amazing' her Bob Marley birthday cake was. 

Shortly after the bday speech, Osbourne tweeted:

“let me make something very clear after @MileyCyrus salvia incident we started calling her bob miley as a JOKE! the cake was also A JOKE!  

it makes me sick that @MileyCyrus so called ‘friends’ would sell her out and lead people 2 believe she is someone that she is not!”

After all that defense on Cyrus’ behalf, Kelly went on with more points on how Miley couldn’t possibly do all she does (recording, filming, touring) “if she was a stoner.” 

Welp, Kelz, that’s not entirely true. Not everyone suffers the same set-backs and side effects to marijuana as others. And Miles - if you wanna toke, toke. You’re a grown ass woman, just don’t be so quick to air your dirty laundry even if the attempt is to “keep it real.” Some things are better left private. ;)

Heartbroken Adele Forced To Cancel All 2011 Gigs As She Prepares To Undergo Throat Surgery

Entertainment, News: 

(Daily Mail UK) -- Earlier this month Adele was 'devastated' when she had to cancel her U.S. tour. But it appears her throat problems have taken a turn for the worse as the singer has now pulled all remaining live dates in the UK and promotional appearances for the rest of the year.

The 23-year-old singer will undergo surgery on her throat and will have to spend weeks resting her voice after the operation.

Doctors expect the "Someone Like You" star will make a full recovery, but will need to fully recuperate before she can resuming her singing career.

A statement from her spokesperson said: 

"It is with deep regret that Adele has been forced to cancel her remaining live dates and promotional appearances in 2011.

She is to undergo surgery to alleviate the current issues with her throat and a full recovery is expected.

As a result, doctors have ordered her to rest her voice and completely recuperate before looking to schedule any work commitments.

Ticket holders for all cancelled live dates will receive a refund from the point of purchase.  We apologise for any inconvenience and disappointment caused, and appreciate your understanding during this time."

Adele's ongoing illness means she has cancelled six concerts in Wolverhampton, Blackpool, Bournemouth, Cardiff and Plymouth.

Her announcement comes after the ailing singer was photographed wrapped up near her London home yesterday.

She smartly wrapped up against the cool autumn weather in a tartan poncho and covered her face with a hat and dark sunglasses, still looking pale and drawn.

She clutched a much-needed bottle of water to keep her hydrated and a bag of nuts.

The star was still too sick to attend the Q Awards on Tuesday, but was still awarded two gongs in her absence.

Music Must: ‘Lipstick’ By Jeward

Entertainment: 

We admit, we have a thing for twins. From Mary-Kate & Ashley to The Veronicas to Jeward, there’s something extra magical about a set of fierce faced identical twins. 

Irish twins, John and Edward Grimes of Jeward, are our latest obsession. 

After meeting the boys yesterday (October 25th) at their “Wow Oh Wow” video shoot in LA, not only are they highly original and super talented but John and Edward genuinely two of the sweetest boys ever, not to mention a total blast. 

The boys' upcoming video features actress Tara Reid and will no doubt be in your face fun, Jeward style.

Britney Spears Premieres ‘Criminal’ Music Video

Entertainment, Icon: 

Hot damn! 

Still going strong and looking incredible, Britney Spears premiered a new music video for her latest single Criminal. A video that has the mother of two showing a whole lotta skin. 

Rawr! 

The hot new mini-film features Spears and real-life boyfriend Jason Trawick as a Bonnie & Clyde duo who fall lustfully in love, rob a convenience store and drift off into the sunset. 

Quite different than the drawn out choreography routines we’re used to but we’ll go along with a little change, B.

Music Muse: Sherman Elli

Entertainment, Artist, Muse: 

Sexy and quick with his hands, guitar prodigy Sherman Elli is one hot stage fixture. 

When he’s not neck deep in a recording studio, breaking pretty hearts, or touring the globe with The Veronicas, Sherman Elli keeps it sexy in NYC. The New York bread rocker is a master of his craft and has been strumming those chords since grade school and touring by the time he hit high school.

Sherm tells us: 

“My first international tour was through South East Asia in 2005. I was on the go with Marion Raven and I loved it." 

When an artist can spend months in a recording studio working on the same project, Eli-ella-ey-ey says the absolute best part of it all “is playing live.”

And the boy can rock a stage!

Having just spent a month in LA working with The Veronicas as they prep for the release of their highly anticipated third album, Sherm’s also working with New York based group Exes of Evil.

The boy’s nonstop and too hot to quit.

Songwriter Linda Perry Slams Katy Perry: ‘Who Wants A Fucking Katy Perry Record?'

Entertainment, Music, Drama: 

Oh, no she didn’t! 

In a recent backstage interview at the Ford Amphitheater in LA, esteemed songwriter and former 4-Non Blondes lead singer Linda Perry more-than-happily voiced her thoughts and opinions on pop megastar Katy Perry.

The songwriter says of Katy: 

“Who wants a fucking Katy Perry record? I’m sorry. You’re gonna get two songs that are probably the hits that will be good, but the rest of the record is gonna be crap.” She continues, “She’s not looking to change the world musically... so all the power to her and everybody who is like that. I’m not saying it’s bad, I’m saying it’s not what I participate in music and that is the reason why the music business is in turmoil.”

Is that why, Linda? 

You may be the writer behind hits for Pink, Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys and Christina Aguilera but... we sure haven’t seen you captivate a massive global audience like Katy-Kat OR become the second artist in history, after Michael Jackson, to have five songs from one album reach the top spot on the Billboard 100 chart. Linda goes on to call Katy’s music “microwave popcorn" and "crap.” Hmm... sounds like someone has a bit of jealousy to sort out. 

Regardless of L.Perry’s comments, we know personally the ample amount of raw talent KP holds within her abilities. Weather or not she projects that in her current work is another story. 

Play nice, ladies.

The singer parishes after long addiction struggle.

Amy Winehouse was found dead today (July 23rd) inside her London apartment.

The intoxicating songstress, just 27-years-old, was ironically the same age that mysteriously claimed the lives of other troubled musicians Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix.

A release issued by the Metropolitan Police states: 

Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased. On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene. Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained.

Sad, sad, sad!

According to Scotland Yard, there are no signs of foul play at the singers London apartment. An autopsy has been scheduled for tomorrow to determine the cause of Winehouse’s death. 

R.I.P., dove.

W's July Beyonce & Christina Aguilera Covers Leaked

Entertainment, Music: 

W's forthcoming "Music & Style" issue, which hits newsstands on June 21, has two covers, and both of which have leaked along with the corresponding spreads. 

Unsurprisingly, Beyoncé got the much better deal, clothes-wise: Her outfits are extravagant and sexy, with lots of sheer Marc Jacobs blouses and Givenchy lingerie; she wears a Givenchy cat hat in one picture, and one of Marc Jacobs's pillbox headpieces in another. 

Christina Aguilera, on the other hand, is mostly covered by her large, puffy hairdo. 

On a positive note, she looks much prettier than she has in ages.
