Yes! Yes! YES!!!!

We are thrilled and so proud to announce that our dear friend, Miz Katy Perry, has the new #1 song in America!!!!

Her super infectious I Kissed A Girl has dethroned Coldplay's Viva La Vida at the top of the U.S. singles chart, according to Billboard.

The song has already been #1 in Canada and will likely follow suit in other countries when it's released in Europe in late summer/early fall.

Industry experts tell us that Katy should hold on to the top spot for a bit too, as I Kissed A Girl continues to sell well and is getting MASSIVE airplay.

Perry's debut album, One Of The Boys, has also debuted on the Top 10 of the Billboard charts this week, coming in at #9.

Congratulations, bitch!

Jesus loves you!

"My fan base is out of this world and the youth really look up to me and I know for a fact my album wasn't promoted correctly because people would come up to me like, 'Oh your album is out?' Or, 'This is the second one? It's really disturbing to know that I signed with a company that didn't promote my record properly. Highly disturbing."

British model Agyness Deyn and one of the Strokes, Albert Hammond, Jr., are an item!

According to New York magazine, A&A engaged in some PDA at the Songwriters Hall of Fame awards in the NYC earlier in the week.

When asked how the two met, they supposedly 'cast telling gazes into each other's eyes' with Deyn going on to say,"That's a bit personal, sorry."

Models and musicians. It's like bees to honey!

It's getting harder and harder for bands to make a splash with album releases these days.

So….musicians are thinking outside the box!

British pop punk band McFly is going the Prince route and teaming up with the UK's Daily Mail to give away its new music in the paper's Sunday, July 20th edition.

McFly's super dreamy singer/guitarist Tom Fletcher says, “We want to get our music out to the widest audience possible and working with a massive paper like The Mail On Sunday will definitely help us achieve that. We’re very excited about this great opportunity."

This partnership will give the band access to the Sunday Mail's reported 5.8 million readers.

Are you Brits excited about the giveaway?

Heidi Montag has some good PR people working with her.

Producer RedOne, who worked on The Hills star's new single Fashion, recently did an interview where every word out of his mouth was kissing her ass.

If we were to run into RedOne on the street (and we knew what he looks like), the shit would still be staining his teeth!

Of Heidi's new single, he says, "It sounds amazing. The song is all about fashion and all about her - shopping, clothes, her whole aura. She's really taken it to the next level…. We are working on more [songs], and it's crazy, shocking stuff that will surprise everybody."

When asked if he thinks Heidi can sing, he responded, "Definitely. She's really good, and I love her personality and the way it comes through in a song. She makes you believe it. She's great in the studio."

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!!!!!!!!

As for former music video producer, Spencer Pratt, RedOne says of him at the studio, "He just chills - he loves listening to her."

RedOne then goes on to add, "I definitely think she's a star. She has a star quality — a powerful personality with no limits. She can do anything and make it sound credible. She's a born star."

Speidi's PR people must have done a great job training RedOne.

We almost believe he means what he says!

A few of our Scandi lovelies have been in touch to report that Avril Lavigne is being totally lame in Sweden.

Apparently, Avril is set to perform in Sweden on Saturday, and she has demanded that any photographer hoping to shoot at the concert sign a contract that goes against the Swedish law.

Avril, a Canadian, is demanding that Swedish photogs follow U.S. law.

Huh????

Why should Swedes on their home turf follow some other country's laws????

According to a rep for Lavigne's record label, it's Avril - not the record company - that's making the crazy demand.

April's managers drew up the 'illegal' contract.

We think this is grounds for an all-around boycott of anything Avril in Sweden!

A publicist for Amy Winehouse's record label has said that the singer's father, Mitch Winehouse, 'misspoke' in a statement to the Brit media 'out of his concern for her.'

The publicist went on to say, "She is not diagnosed with full-blown emphysema, but instead has early signs of what could lead to emphysema."

Whatever she's got, she doesn't give a shit!

Wino was photographed smoking just yesterday, upon her release from hospital.

In a new interview with BBC Radio, 1 after his rant to the print media, Daddy Wino appeared to downplay his doomsday statements, and said, "Amy really hasn't got emphysema, there's traces of emphysema. Obviously, if she doesn't quit smoking, it's going to get worse, like everyone else … with patience her lungs will recover completely."

Daddy Wino has also said that it would be good for Wino to perform, "When she's been inactive work-wise then that's when the problems really start. The doctors have said that medically there isn't any reason why she can't do Glastonbury."

The music festival is this weekend.

She'll probably be dead before then!

The woman who rapper Remy Ma shot in the stomach, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, is out for cash.

Barnes has filed a lawsuit in NY and lists more than Ma as a defendant.

Remy's music label, Universal, and the pizza joint where Barnes and Remy were drinking up before the 'incident' were named, too!

The victim claims that Universal Music received "financial profit and economic benefit from the unlawful, violent and anti-social conduct" of Ma.

Barnes says the pizza place was at fault because they kept serving Remy even though she was "visibly" wasted.

Guess the girl's gotta milk what she can!

It's about time.

After broadcasting from Las Vegas last year and NYC the year before that, the MTV Video Music Awards are coming to Hollywood this time around.

Now we don't have to travel anywhere!

The awards, which will mark its 25th anniversary, will air on Sunday, September 7th.

This year, they'll be presenting awards from sound stages, city streets, and even rooftops.

In other words: they're trying to "mix it up" in an effort to goose ratings.

MTV will also also be counting votes from users online to help decide the nominees.

President of MTV Networks Music Group, Van Toffler, said in a statement, "With Paramount Pictures as the ideal setting, the glamour and musical heritage of L.A. are sure to be catalysts for creating explosive pop culture moments that the VMAs are known for."

This year might be a bit tough to follow after all the drama that went down last year!

There was the Kid Rock and Tommy Lee bitch fight that took place.

Kanye West threw a diva attack infront of the crew and media after he lost all five of the categories for which he was nominated. He vowed never to return.

Wonder if we'll see him this year????
