Fergie Teams Up With Candies

In this overwhelming age of consumerism, product placement is rampant in movies and television.  But now, even the music you listen to can be laden with paid promotions for products.  Just ask Fergie.

The Black Eyed Peas singer is reportedly set to make $4 million by teaming up with Candies clothing and accessory line on her next album.  She will be dropping their name in her songs, and working with them on their ad campaigns.

Princess Diana Tribute Concert Brings Out The Stars

If you happened to be in England this past weekend, you may have noticed a huge freaking concert going on at Wembley Stadium.  It was all to honor the late Princess Diana, and her two princes were among the spectators celebrating her life.

Well-known Diana friend Elton John opened the whole shindig with a rousing rendition of “Your Song” followed by a personal greeting from Princes William and Harry.  The 70,000 fans in attendance, and the over 500 million people watching worldwide, were ready to rock.

Rihanna Reigns Over Billboard Charts

She’s stunning.  She’s sophisticated.  And for the fourth week in a row, Rihanna is at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with her uber-hit “Umbrella.”

And it’s nice to see the R&B singer enjoying so much success.  Though she came from humble beginnings (after all, she grew up with a crack smokin’ father), she is using her determination to rule the American pop music scene.

MuchMusic Awards: A Canadian Party

Those crazy Canadians sure can throw a party!  With celebrity appearances by Avil Lavigne, Hilary Duff, Tara Reid, Joss Stone and Fergie, the MuchMusic Video Awards was a star-studded event.

Unlike most awards shows, the MuchMusic Video Awards took place outdoors, in a carnival-esque atmosphere.  The stages were lined with fans waiting to get a glimpse of Maroon 5, Sum 41, and Canadian sweetheart Avril Lavigne.

Houston Loves Fergie
