Adele wins two Q Awards!

1

She might not have picked up the Mercury Prize Award for her sophomore album 21, but she won not one but two Q magazine awards for her efforts. Adele’s latest album has been certified platinum 10 times in the UK. It comes as no surprise that it would get that kind of reception. It seems the throat problems that she is having with her health recently stopped her from attending the event. We hope she is OK.

Whitney Houston postpones European tour, claims illness!

Here we go down the same road again with Whitney Houston’s diva attitude and drama. It seems like Whitney Houston still thinks she can shrug off fans without giving a good enough excuse. We don’t know why people bother anymore, she was something and even when she was it she was not prolific enough to hold enough weight. Her latest album is inane dribble and she hasn’t done anything good in long while. Whitney’s reps say she has an “upper respiratory infection,” but from the sound of it she’s been having it for a while. Check her concert performances in Australia and New Zealand.

Jackson is seeking to give his testimony by video link from the United States. “It would be unwise for him to travel, given what’s he’s got now,” lawyer Robert Englehart said, declining to elaborate “for the obvious reasons.”

Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa‘s lawyer, Bankim Thanki, said the medical evidence presented by Jackson’s legal team was “very unsatisfactory” and Jackson’s illness could be treated with a bandage “if the diagnosis is positive.”

What is happening to Janet Jackson?

What is happening to Janet Jackson. She has cancelled a bunch of shows and nobody knows why. Some say she is sick and others claim her tour is flopping. In any case, the tour was one of her best and the album flopped because of poor marketing. I mean, “Rock With You” was one of the greatest songs of this year and “Feedback” was a hit. Her record company refused to promote anymore singles and everything fell apart. I hope she is ok.
