Heidi Montag's New Music

The Hills' Heidi Montag has a new song titled 'No More,' which is pretty much exactly what everyone was hoping to hear from her musically.
It's available for download as of today, and you can give it a listen if you really are looking to punish yourself at People Magazine's website.

Montag, who's first video was widely panned, sings about an ex-lover who was toxic and how she no longer needs him...hmmm. Who could that be about?

The digital release comes on the heels of the MTV pseudo-reality show's season debut last night, but only time will tell if the popularity of the one will have any effect on the other.

Her previous effort, 'Higher,' took music to a new low, and was widely panned. If this current single doesn't fare any better, it will take more than her fake boobs to keep her music career afloat, leaving her washed up.

You have to admit, No More - Heidi Montag does have a nice ring to it.

Canada Owes Apology For Avril

The Evolution Of Avril Lavigne

Once upon a time, a little girl got up on stage and sang at a Shania Twain Concert. The crowd was amazed at how well this tiny teen could belt out country music hits. On that day, Avril Lavigne was discovered...one of the darkest days in Canadian history.


There is the pseudo-punk pop version of Avril, which burst onto the scene with the smash hit Sk8erboy. She was known for her tie and wife-beater t shirts, 'badass attitude' and constant cirticism of Britney Spears for being fake. This got old pretty fast.

Then there was the slightly more mature Avril. she had grown a bit, and was determined to shine a light for young girls about being themselves and not giving in to peer pressure, blah blah blah. She always said she could never see herself as the pretty girl type wearing fancy clothes. Of course, when she says something, you know she means it.

Lastly we have the upscale Avril. She has shed her Dickies and Doc Martens and embraced the haute couture she previously derided. Her music, which seemed to be leaing towards a more mature sound at one point, still speaks of junior high drama. 'Hey, hey, you, you, I could be your Girlfriend?'

Sure, I have 15 or 20 minutes to spare.

There are many great Canadian musical acts, many virtually unknown in the USA or other parts of the world. Kathleen Edwards, Feist, The Tragically Hip...all excellent acts.

So consider this an official apology for Avril Lavigne...think of her as payback for Britney Spears.

Boy Band Bigshot Has Been A Bad Boy

Lou Pearlman, the man responsible for the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync (shudder) has reportedly pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy, money laundering and making false statements during a bankruptcy proceeding.

All this after a lengthy federal investigation alleging he scammed investors and banks out of more than $300 million.

Turns out his Transcontinental Airlines Inc. didn't really have 41 planes...but merely 2. He also misrepresented bailout funds, and apparently was running a good old Ponzi scheme in the guise of an employee investment savings program.

Remember when this guy was being heralded as a savvy businessman and marketing genius on all those entertainment 'news' shows? Turns out he was just good at lying and spotting a sucker.

According to reports, he'll be sentenced on May 21, and could face as much as 25 years in prison and a $1 million fine.

That's it? The bastard deserves to be shot just for all that crappy music he unleashed on the world...when will justice be served?
