Sugarland band waived humanitarian LOVE flag on CMT?

[Jun. 9]

Sugarland band members Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Busch were honored by their loyal fans when they were named the recipients of this year’s Duo Video of the Year at the 2011 CMT Music Awards show last night in Nashville. But they really brought the crowd to their feet as they offered one of the most inspiring performances of the evening singing their anthem Stand Up. Nettles and Busch walked onto the stage carrying a large white flag and began their song as the crowd went wild. The harmonious duo continued to sing as they welcomed Tiffani and Lexi Gilbert, two young sisters from Joplin, Mo., whose home was destroyed during a recent tornado. Graphic photographs showing the devastation left behind loomed in the background as the sisters took center stage and Jennifer Nettles handed them the simple, hand-made, white flag with the single word “LOVE” written on it. The sisters waved the flag along with a smaller version while the audience waved similar flags in unison. It was an emotional and uplifting scene to say the least. And the message was loud and clear, “won’t you stand up and use your voice”.

Nicole Scherzinger brings F1 and Dancing With The Stars chic to X Factor

Who is Nicole Scherzinger?

Nicole Scherzinger brings F1 and Dancing With The Stars chic to X Factor —

[Jun. 9]

With a recently released solo album, being the long time lead singer for the Pussycat Dolls, Mirror Ball Trophy winner of the 2010 television season of Dancing With the Stars, songwriter, and occasional actress Nicole Scherzinger can now add title of Judge for the 2011 television season of X Factor (USA) to her impressive resume. Following weeks of rumors, Fox FREMANTLEMEDIA NORTH AMERICA AND SYCO TV made its official announcement June 6 that Scherzinger will indeed join former American Idol judge Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid, and Paula Abdul on their search across America to find the next global superstar or group to win the life-changing $5 million dollar recording deal. Amazingly enough, this Pussycat caught wind of the change in her position from host to judge while reading her daily SUN. Should be a piece of cake for this veteran considering Nicole Scherzinger has previously joined Simon Cowell as a guest judge on The X Factor UK back in 2010, right? Let’s hope so, because rumors swirling on June 7 and 8 were that Cheryl Cole got fired in her first weeks for having thin skin and a weak constitution (physically and emotionally). Battling clinical depression and a mean case of the blues, Cheryl Cole allegedly did not get along with perky Nicole Scherzinger. Adding the age old odd-man-out triangle scenario between Cole, Scherzinger, and fellow judge Paula Abdul, Nicole was moves from role of host to judge while Cheryl Cole was kicked off.

Bieber Fever: Eminem blasts Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga on Twitter, why?

Rap music star Eminem blasts Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga in tweets, why?

[Jun. 9]

Sounds like Eminem (a.k.a. Marshall Mathers) has caught a little Bieber Fever of his own — of the ill will variety. While green celebrity humanitarian and pet friendly activist Justin Bieber was between appearances at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards and the 2011 CMT Awards (for country music fans), the rapper who does not pull punches was busy getting his name in the press over venting about the Biebs and also pop music star Lady Gaga to his fans. The hard-hitting rapper from Detroit has gone back to his old ways on his new track, A Kiss, hurling insults at the stars around him. This time Slim Shady is aiming for the Biebs and Lady Gaga. He referred to Justin Bieber as somehow evil and hints that star celeb Lady Gaga is a hermaphrodite, reported USA Today. But the track comes off as relatively soft, compared to some of the blasts Eminem has fired at former star celebs like Christopher Reeves and Moby. The whole schtick has left a lot of people (including morning news media on June 9) wondering if Eminem is just losing ground to Bieber Fever and is simply riding coattails to prop up his own record sales.
