Yes, we are thrilled that Leona Lewis is doing so well in America.

She has a #1 song with Bleeding Love and we can say…..”We called it way back in 2006!”

Leona’s success is also very bittersweet for us because, as many of you have noticed, we haven’t been writing about her. Nor will we mention her any time soon.

We also have several other artists that are “dead to us.” They include: Tori Amos, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, The Gossip, Adele, Lil’ Mama, Pink, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Whitney Houston and more. These are some of our favorite musicians. It really, truly pains us not to talk about them. But, it is something we HAVE to do!

Why????

Because Zomba, which is owned by Sony BMG, is suing us and we had a lightbulb go off recently: we can’t support any artist signed to Sony BMG.

Why should we help the company suing us make money???? Especially when their lawsuit is personal!

Sony BMG, and their labels Zomba and Jive, are suing us for streaming several songs that turned out to be by Britney Spears.

When these songs first leaked, there was a lot of doubt as to whether they were Britney or a fake. Plus, we never made any music downloadable.

Every time we saw a take-down notice from the R.I.A.A., we complied immediately. By the way, no one at Sony BMG ever contacted us about Britney.

Also, every song we posted - not knowing if it was or wasn’t an authentic Spears song - had already been all over the internet and fansites, yet PerezHilton.com is the only entity being sued by Sony BMG.

That’s just not right! And, what’s even worse are the outrageous demands Sony BMG are making in order to get them to settle this lawsuit and have this case dropped. We don’t wanna get into specifics, as this hasn’t all been resolved yet.

Sony BMG may win this battle, but at the end of the day we will be the ones laughing.

We KNOW that our support can help their artists, some of our favorites, immensely. We hope alienating us was worth it for Sony BMG!

Every other label out there wants to have us as a friend. It really makes us question the business practices of Sony BMG that they would rather have Perez as an enemy.

Their loss!

And, though we may never write about Leona again, we still love her. Always will. Same for Xtina. And J Lo. And Adele. And Ditto.

Our heart is sad.

Despite various reports and photos of the two together, Rihanna and Chris Brown are still denying that they are a pair.

This weekend, during the Kid’s Choice Awards, Rihanna told MTV News that “We are best friends, honestly, like brother and sister.”

Like brother and sister? Does she mean like Angelina Jolie used to be with her brother?

Ewwww.

Rihanna continues, “We both started our careers around the same time. He is one of the only people in the industry … I trust and hang out with all the time. If he was a boyfriend, I would say that.”

At the same event, Chris said “They keep asking me, ‘What’s the deal?’ I’m like, ‘There’s no deal. No deal.’ We’re just friends.” The singer then said, “Be yourself, and see as many girls as possible!”

Yea, he’s trying to play the media but it’s just not working!

Come on and admit it already.

Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) just announced that they will renew Mariah Carey’s contract in an exclusive, worldwide publishing agreement.

The company will continue to publish Mariah’s songs and future records, and she is sure to rake in millions doing so!

David Renzer, Chairman & CEO of UMPG, stated “Mariah Carey is well known for her incredible voice, but we also celebrate her incredible strength as a songwriter and the fact that she has co-written most of her best known songs. We’re honored that she has agreed to renew her working relationship with UMPG and we look forward to continuing to promote her amazing and wonderful body of work globally.”

Touch her body…of work!

That fugly dude seen on the beach in Miami this past weekend with a booger-picking Tara Reid seems to be more than a one-time fling.

The handsome hunk and the former actress got their pAArty on at Diddy’s Winter Music Conference party.

And then they went home and…

Ewwww! Yuk! Yuk! GROSS!

Miz Kylie Minogue kept herself cool with the help of a fan before the cameras started rolling Monday morning for her appearance on the Today show.

Does she have someone that holds her cups while she drinks out of a straw????

That would be very Mimi of her! She is the Queen Diva, after all.

The Office beauty Rashida Jones is featured in the new issue of Allure magazine with her mom, former model Peggy Lipton.

Her mom is 61 years old!!!! For reals!!!! And, she looks like she’s naturally that gorgeous, without any nips and tucks.

Share your secrets, Peggy!!!

And she does.

“I advise my daughters to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize, but worrying too much about the way you look will age you,” Lipton tells Allure. “Beauty at any age really does come from within.”

Says Rashida, whose father is legendary musician Quincy Jones, “My sister and I used to tease my Mom about the lengths she would go to to stay out of the sun and prepare her skin for bed with all sorts of creams and oils, but seeing how she looks now, I happily eat my words.”

Note to self: moisturize every fucking hour!!! Sleep in a tub of lard. Whatever it takes!!!

Oasis and Ryan Adams (and the Cardinals) are hitting the road together at the end August!

Sad news (for us at least) is that they’re only playing a few cities and LA isn’t one of them.

Oasis will play their first live show in over two years at Seattle’s WaMu Theater on the 26th of August before crossing the Canadian border with Adams and his band to play shows in Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary.

Pre-sale tickets go on sale tomorrow, April 1st.

If it wasn’t Teddy Hilton’s birthday week, we totally would have considered going up to Seattle or Canada for a few days to see one of the shows.
