Kylie Minogue Plans Madonna Written Track For Next Single
The Herald Sun reports Kylie Minogue plans on releasing ‘Alone Again’ as her next single, which was written by Madonna. “I don’t think she’s ever given a song of hers to another artist,” Minogue said. “It’s quite rare.” The song will be the last release off ‘Fever’, and Kylie says she’ll take a short break over the holiday before beginning on her next album. “I wouldn’t do another tour at least for another year. I’m glad I’m finishing this tour and I’m not suffering exhaustion like last time,” she said. “I’ve taken better care of myself. I want to have a break, but I’m not so good at taking a break; I really have to make myself take some time off.”

Mandy Moore Responds To Blender Photo Controversy
After dozens of posts concerning her Blender photo shoot, Mandy Moore responded in an angry and frustrated tone at some of the criticism. Mandy sighed, “Man…. posts like this make me kinda say…’Oh give it up!.’ First of all, Blender is NOT a men’s magazine. It doesn’t say anything about it being so on the cover. It’s owned by the same people who run Maxim… big deal. The same photographer who shot my picture in People mag’s 50 Most Beautiful shot these photos. I am not going to justify me doing the shoot, because I don’t feel I need to. I happen to really like the pictures. So the dress is a bit shorter that anything I have been photographed in before… whoop dee do…. I have long legs lol. It’s not like I am in some cut-off belly baring shirt and booty shorts. Look at the headshot inside. How is that overly sexy? Guys, you’re going to have to trust me a bit more. If I say I’m not comfy posing in such and such, I am not going to. Period. I am not contradicting myself at all. No one makes me wear anything I don’t want to. I choose to wear it because I liked it. It’s something I would wear out on a night on the town. Geeez.”

Nikki McKibbin Used To Be A Cheerleader
‘American Idol’ finalist Nikki MicKibbin tells US Weekly that she was a rebel rocker in high-school, but also a cheerleader. “I was a cheerleader whom none of the other cheerleaders liked,” she admits. “I didn’t go for the whole, ‘We don’t talk to people, ’cause they’re not in our clique.” I don’t see the point in telling somebody that they aren’t good enough to talk to you because they don’t dress well or wear makeup the right way.”
