James Morrison Responds To Keisha Buchanan’s Crush Admission

Posted on November 15, 2008 by popdirt

spoke with ITN Music about why he picked for a duet at Friday night’s Children In Need concert on his track ‘Broken Strings’, a song of his new album which features Nelly Furtado. “I’ve always thought just because she’s in the Sugababes I think she gets underestimated,” Morrison said. “So I just felt honored to ask her.”

They interviewer also pressed James on Keisha’s recent comments to The Sun, where she admitted, “I’ve developed a major crush on him. During rehearsals I couldn’t stop staring at him and kept thinking about how much he looks like my other crush, Chris Martin. I must of looked like an idiot. I used to really fancy Simon Cowell but it’s James Morrison all the way for me now.”

James responded, “I’m glad she upped her taste. Maybe I was wearing my trousers high as well. She’s pretty tasty herself.” But James has a longtime girlfriend Gill, who gave birth to their first child in September, while Keisha is engaged to Dean Thomas. “Don’t worry about it,” he said. “It’s like the unspoken. I know you’re fit.”

Ronson Responds To PETA Activist’s Flour Attack On Lohan

Posted on November 15, 2008 by popdirt

reacted to her rumored girlfriend being attacked with flour by a PETA activist last night in Paris, France, targeting Lindsay for wearing fur. The DJ tells readers:

PETA should focus their efforts on educating people on what they believe are injustices instead of seeking press via harassing those in the limelight. I received an apology too many days late from the PETA folks (the blog removal was too little too late) and today I’m pissed at the bag of flour thrown on Lindsay last night. Not because I got powdered down, but because the girl who threw it acted like an animal herself. I take that back, it’s an insult to animals to group her in with them, my dog is FAR more civilized than that person. I would have more respect for them if they didn’t use other people to get their point across. Lindsay, Mary Kate, Ashley Olsen, Anna Wintour and the rest of the targeted celebrities aren’t the problem, I’m pretty sure they’re not the only ones wearing fur, in fact, they should be appreciated by PETA for giving them a target. If it weren’t for them, who would get them press???

I know I’m probably going to get a lot of angry emails in response, but I don’t really care. I got enough last week for no reason so I’m more than happy to ignore the nastiness after seeing what I saw last night. I’m not about to throw on a fur coat in retaliation, but had I had one within reach, I’m not sure I would have walked away from it.

I’m the guy in the video. I’m the guy in the video, so I had to give them all insecurities about that.

Joe Jonas Defends Himself Following Taylor Swift Breakup

Posted on November 15, 2008 by popdirt

addressed his breakup with Taylor Swift on the blog at MySpace in a posting that has since been removed. The singer reacted to the country star’s recent comments that Joe dumped her over the phone and that the split occurred after he met actress Camilla Belle filming the sibling pop group’s ‘Lovebug’ video. Without mentioning Swift by name, Joe tells readers:

Several things I will state with all my heart. I never cheated on a girlfriend. It might make someone feel better to assume or imply I have been unfaithful but it is simply not true. Maybe there were reasons for a breakup. Maybe the heart moved on. Perhaps feelings changed. I am truly saddened that anything would potentially cause you to think less of me.

For those who have expressed concern over the ’27 second’ phone call, I called to discuss feelings with the other person. Those feelings were obviously not well received. I did not end the conversation. Someone else did. Phone calls can only last as long as the person on the other end of the line is willing to talk.

Anytime you are in a relationship for any length of time there are going to be issues. Sometimes they resolve. Other times they lead to a change of heart. This was the case recently.

I wish the best for the other person, but could not sit back any longer and leave our fans with a wrong impression of the truth. Hope this helps enlighten a little.

Will Paula Goodspeed’s Family Sue ‘American Idol’?

Posted on November 15, 2008 by popdirt

‘Showbiz Tonight’ is getting to the bottom of the mystery surrounding one of Paula Abdul’s biggest fans, talking with ‘Banfield and Ford: In Session’ anchor Ashleigh Banfield and CNN ‘American Morning’ entertainment correspondent Lola Ogunnaike. Paula Goodspeed, a former contestant on ‘’ whose audition was slammed by the judges, was found dead outside Abdul’s home earlier this week in an apparent suicide.

Asked whether ‘Idol’ producers might be more careful in the future about whom they choose to audition before the show’s four judges and how they’re treated, Banfield responded, “Possibly, but probably not. Because part of the show’s allure is the crazies who come out and perform. I think perhaps what they might be more careful of as they have been already is the liability waivers that I’m sure these contestants have to sign. Not to say that they’re absolutely bullet proof, but I think they’ll probably go over this. And I’m not suggesting for anyone suing at this point, but you know what? It’s a possibility.” Watch the segment, aired Thursday (November 13), below.
