- Katy Perry didn’t waste any time taking I Kissed A Girl to the top, where she not only went to #1 on the Billboard chart made a bit of history as well. Her song became the 1,000th "Hot 100" #1 in what is commonly known as the "rock era"–which began with Rock Around The Clock hitting the top spot in 1955…
- Auditions for season 8 of American Idol will get underway soon, with a first session in San Francisco July 17–get the complete schedule from the official American Idol website. Producers hope they will find the next Kelly, Carrie, Daughtry, Jordin or David–and pray they don’t turn into Reuben, Fantasia, or Taylor…
- Madonna’s concert promotor Live Nation quashed any rumors about poor sales for her Sticky And Sweet tour, announcing Thursday that she has sold over a million tickets so far–representing 90 percent of all available seats for the tour. So far, she’s sold out dates in New York, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Toronto, Montreal, Paris and Mexico City–and, if reports are true, her husband as well…
- Amy Winehouse admits in a Rolling Stone interview that while she was in rehab at her record company’s request, she, quote, "did drugs the whole time". Well, that’s certainly a step in the right direction…
- Mr. "Mini-Me" Verne Troyer has struck back at an effort to release a sex tape of him and an ex-girlfriend, filing a $20 million violation-of-privacy and copyright-infringement suit against tabloid website TMZ for airing portions of the tape on their site and TV show. How embarassing it must be for him, imagining people watching him like that and saying, "How can he do that without falling down?"

- Britney Spears’ dad Jamie has really thrown himself into his new role as conservator of her estate–so much so that he has left his catering job to concentrate on her affairs, and is being paid $2500 a week to do it. He’s obviously doing a great job, but I wonder what it does to a dad’s ego to draw a paycheck from his kid…
- Lou Pearlman, who engineered the success of both Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync, will be sentenced today after admitting he swindled almost $300 million from his investors. Pearlman could get up to 25 years in prison–plenty of time to develop a new sound, although it’s hard to gauge the appeal for a band named "Dear God, Not Again!"…
- The ratings news continues to be bad for NBC–CBS’ Shark, which is being cancelled, had more viewers last week than all but one of the Peacock Network’s schedule. Why do I get the feeling we’re about to find out exactly how many Law And Order franchise reruns can be aired in a week?
