Noooo, Bieber!! Don't Do It!!!

wenn2968420jb.jpg

This is a HOrrendous idea!

Justin Bieber revealed that he wants to star in a remake of Grease AND that he wants Miley Cyrus to be the Sandy to his Danny!

He says:

"It would be a lot of fun. It's been talked about a lot over the years but it would be awesome to play Danny. I would go for Miley Cyrus without hesitation. She can sing, dance and act."

"I'd want some great people to star in it. Wouldn't Susan Boyle make an amazing Principal McGee? We'd just need to write it into the script that she broke into song. I am obsessed with Susan. When I look at her original audition it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would love to include Cheryl Cole as well. She would look great in the Rydell High cheerleading uniform."

Oh, Biebs.

Just stick to singin', will ya? NOBODY needs a Grease remake!

What do U think?

Uh, oh!

Reports claim that Susan Boyle's famous audition for Britain's Got Talent was digitally enhanced with Auto-Tune according to an anonymous source from the production team!

First the X Factor scandal and now this?!

Could Simon Cowell's credibility be shot?

What do U think?

SuBo To Sing For The Pope!

wenn2863853sb.jpg

Wowsa!

Susan Boyle will perform for Pope Benedict XVI during his trip to Scotland next month.

She will sing three times at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow on September 16 including the hymn "How Great Thou Art" and of course, "I Dreamed A Dream." A choir will also accompany the performance.

She says:

"To be able to sing for the pope is a great honor and something I've always dreamed of — it's indescribable. I think the 16th of September will stand out in my memory as something I've always wanted to do. I've always wanted to sing for His Holiness and I can't really put into words my happiness that this wish has come true at last."

Congrats, SuBo!

The 10 Year Old SuBo???

So this is the little girl that everyone is hailing as the next SuBo?!

Check out this clip of ten year old Jackie Evancho, who became a YouTube sensation for her mad opera singing skills, performing O Mio Babbino Caro on America's Got Talent!

We don't know! She's adorable and definitely talented, but we feel like she's a little out of her league!

What do U think?? Is Jackie as good as everyone thinks or is America just trying to get its own version of SuBo??

Glee Stunt Casting Celebrity Guest Star Round-Up!

glee-cast1__optjb.jpg

It's official!

After months of speculation, Glee creator Ryan Murphy has confirmed that the Scottish Sensation that's sweeping the nation, Susan Boyle, will be making an appearance on the smash series' very special Christmas episode!

And apparently, Kurt will be giving her a make-over.

BARF. Of course Kurt is giving her a make-over.

He reveals:

“Susan is on the same label as us and is a fan of the show. She’s coming out with a Christmas album, so the story I want to do in our Christmas episode is to have Kurt give her some sort of fantastic makeover and have her sing a song that’s from her album on the show.”

He also is still unsure on how the eff he's going to throw Javier Bardem into the mix. You know, probably because there's no seamless way to throw this many giant names in as guest stars without compromising the integrity of the story.

He says:

“He requested it. I think he bought the first 13 episodes on DVD and became obsessed with it. He said it was like crack. And he’s such a ham that it totally makes sense to me that he would want to sing and dance. I think he’s going to play some demented Spanish rock star substitute teacher something, but I don’t know — we haven’t figured that out yet.”

However, we ARE excited to find out yet more details about the Brit Brit episode, as well as the upcoming Rocky Horror Tribute airing around Halloween!

And best yet?! Jonathan Groff will be back for two episodes in the Spring!

On Britney:

“She is arguably the most important female, other than Lady GaGa, of the last ten years. Many of the kids on the show went into singing and dancing because of her. Also at the heart of it, it’s a show designed to show off the skills of Heather Morris, who plays [Glee's cheerleader] Brittany. I just think that Britney Spears loves what the show is about, that the show’s about paying tribute to pop culture in a very loving, respectful, kind way. She responded to that.”

On Rocky Horror:

“My favorite thing to do is to torture the boys and claim that I don’t know who’s wearing those gold lamé briefs, because now they’re all on diets. They’re all in terror that I’m going to tell them that they’re the one who has to get naked.”

Yum! Well, maybe the show hasn't COMPLETELY jumped the shark!

And let's hope that our beloved Puck gets to wear the gold undies!

LOLs!

Thoughts??

Does SuBo Have A Weekly Allowance?

wenn2863856jb.jpg

We hope this isn't true!

Susan Boyle's family members are once again speaking out to the press again against the singing sensation's management team, because according to them, she's not allowed to access any of her earnings, and is only provided a weekly allowance of $650!

According to her brother Gerry, SuBo recently purchased a $450,000 home near the house she grew up in so she can keep both, but because of her living stipend, she can't even furnish her new residence, and has to take the bus to get around!

He claims:

"When Susan realized she can't just walk into a bank and take out her own money she had a fit because she thought she was down to her last few quid. Her millions are ring-fenced but Susan has no concept of money. She was extremely distressed. She lives in fear of losing everything and returning to her old life before she made it big. Susan said to me, 'I've been told I get £500 a week because I'm a novice. I don't have the money to go and buy the furniture.' So she's still stuck in the small council house where we all grew up. She should be able to walk into a bank anywhere and say she wants £50,000 cash. That may not be advisable, but it would be her choice because it's her money.

Susan is baffled about money. All she wants to do is sing. So we asked the questions that should have been asked a while ago. Why doesn't she even have a credit card? Why does she feel she doesn't have control over her finances. And we've got worries about her safety too. She visits the local Tesco most days all on her own. So we raised concerns with her management. Susan doesn't look as if she is a successful international chart star. She's lonely and downtrodden."

However, other sources assert that she spends so little because that's how she prefers to live!

Insiders say:

"The modest allowance is what she asked for and she has full control of her money. All she is doing is being responsible with her money."

We don't know…for what she's making, she shouldn't have to take the bus!

We truly hope her management team isn't taking advantage of her!

What do U think?? Is SuBo's success being too controlled??

SuBo Recording A Christmas Album!

wenn2863861.jpg

Smart!

Rumors are swirling that Susan Boyle is releasing a Christmas album! Sony is hoping for an October release, but no one is giving details on its contents.

Columbia spokeswoman Fran DeFeo confirmed that SuBo is "recording a new album to come out later this year." And that was it!

If it's true, we think it'll rake in a ton of $$$$$!

Susan Boyle To Launch Her Own Singing Competition

wenn2863w2r3862.jpg

Susan Boyle wants to pay it forward!

The singer was an overnight sensation after appearing on Britain's Got Talent last year and now she wants to pass the baton to someone else by launching a search to help her find a singer to duet on her new album, The Gift.

She's running the competition on her official website and is asking fans to enter the contest by uploading videos of themselves singing Silent Night.

She says:

"Last year my dream of becoming a recording artist came true after auditioning on Britain's Got Talent. Since then, I've had an absolutely fantastic time. It's been a real gift to me and now I would like to pass on the gift to someone else…There are a lot of people out there who wouldn't have the confidence or perhaps the means to enter a big competition like Britain's Got Talent. So this might be a lot less daunting for some people as they can record the song in the privacy of their own home. I'm hoping that people who have always wanted to sing will give it a try. I wish you all good luck."

Very cool, SuBo!

Next Season On Glee….

gleewenn2867044.jpg

You gleeks have a long summer ahead of you without any new Glee. How will you survive??

Perhaps some hints as to what's to come next season will help you pass the time!

Ryan Murphy recently let loose on some of the high points for next season of Glee. Along with some new characters and epic music, he is promising a season finale that will blow the minds of gleeks everywhere! Here's what Ryan has to say about Season 2:

More Musical Tributes: “The Madonna episode was so popular, I think I’m gonna do two tribute episodes — one in the fall and one in the spring — and we’re figuring out who those artists are.”

New Characters: Murphy already let it slip that Susan Boyle might be appearing but he and producers are also looking to add some new members to the club, including a boyfriend for Kurt. “I just want him to be an everyday dude,” says Murphy. “And I want him to be sort of struggling [with his sexuality] and Kurt helps him deal with it and in the process they fall for each other.” Also look for a potential love interest for Mercedes and a Carrie Underwood-esque, Christian country singer who will be a rival to Rachel. “When people hear we’re going to do that, they will expect that we’re making fun of her,” says Murphy. “We’re not. The show is about inclusiveness and about giving voices to a lot of people.”

A Major Season Finale: “I know that season two ends with Nationals in New York. I don’t know if they’ll make it — we haven’t figured that out.”

Sounds pretty amazing to us! Here's just a few suggestions:

We want more Lea Michele, we want J.Lo to work with Susan Boyle in the lunch room, we want Carrie Underwood to play the "Carrie Underwood-esque" character and we want the all Britney Spears tribute episode so bad, we'd pay you to do it.

We kid. We kid. You have more money than is conceivable, so you will be paying for that yourself!

Get it done, Ryan!
