Buy MORE tickets or he get's it!

Well not to long ago there was news that Madonna and Guy Ritchie would be getting a divorce.  But sources now say that the pair are planning to re-new their wedding vows in Kabbalah ceremony next month.

Despite claims the couple's marriage is on the rocks, Madonna and Ritchie will host a Shabbat Nachamu event to show family and friends they are still very much a couple. A source tells The Sun newspaper. "It's a very important dinner for them - they want everyone to know they are still in love."

The special ceremony will reportedly take place at the celebrity couple's British country estate, with two rabbis flying in from New York to officiate. The event will coincide with the celebration of the pop star's 50th birthday, according to the publication. Madonna turns 50 on August 16th.

So what's going on you two... was this just a ploy to sell more tickets to Madonna's World Tour??  I think so....Your Thoughts?  Comments!

Amy Winehouse Strikes Again!

Amy20winehouse2004Amy perform sober? Surely you jest! The singer was reportedly paid $2 MILLION an hour to perform at the opening of an art gallery in Moscow Russia. Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich offered the cracked out Grammy winner that much to give a quick show Thursday night.

Amy's people got her on the plane, but by the time she made it to Russia, Amy was in no shape to perform according to sources. Sadly, the party organizers couldn't send Amy packing back to London as there wasn't enough time to find a replacement singer. (Note to Russian billionaires: We would totally do it with less than 24 hours notice...and do kart-wheels...and be SOBER...while we sang with a HUMONGOUS smile for $2 Million an hour!)

Winehouse was due on stage at 10:30 pm. It took 2 hours for her people to pull her together enough to strut out at 12:30! (Note to Billionaire: We'd be on time too) To make things worse, she was wabbling around, puffing smokes, and at one point flung her lighter out into the audience! Then she tugged her little dress and gave a peep show to everyone on the front row...revealing she wasn't wearing underwear. Crackhead vag...eww!

I hope she was worth that 2 million Mr. Abramovich, sounds like you got a bit more than you bargained for.

And They Wonder Why Britney's Been a Mess

Lynne_spears_narrowweb__300x5040_2Can her family stop misappropriating her for a minute? Geeze, your daughter should be worth more than any amount of money. How sleazy...

In her upcoming memoir, Lynne Spears "will get into the dark period of Britney's life — from a mother's eyes," Curt Harding, a rep for Christian publishing company Thomas Nelson, tells Usmagazine.com.

The book — slated for a September release — will be titled Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World.

"Lynne begins by telling the story of her own family," Harding says. "She's going to go into it."

He says Lynne had been working on the book "for at least a year" but took some time off in light of Jamie Lynn's pregnancy and Britney's hospitalization.

She was like, "I can't write a book right now, I've got to take care of my family,'" Harding tells Us.

"I think people will be surprised about who Lynne is," Harding adds. "That’s what I’ve gotten from it so far. I think she’s stronger than people give her credit for."

The memoir, Harding tells Us, "will be useful for moms who will read it and say, 'I can see myself in those same shoes.'

Ashlee Simpson on Ellen

Ashlee Simpson went on Ellen in support of her new record "Bittersweet World", which needs some press because it is only projected to sell 55,000 copies this week...eek! Ashlee needs all the press she can get for real! Of course there was little talk about the record though because Ellen was all about asking what we all want to know: Is Ashlee Simpson pregnant or not? You know miss thing danced all around that question too. We're all left wondering just like we were before she went on Ellen. Answer the question already, geeze!

Jordin Sparks silenced...

Jordin1_sizedJordin Sparks is left unable to sing due to an acute acute vocal cord hemorrhage. She's had to drop out of the just launched Alicia Keys tour until she recovers. Now before you freak out folks, these things do happen, and singers recover from them just fine...it just takes a little time. That's why it's so very important to warm up those vocals chords before you perform, and use proper breathing and vocal techniques while performing.

The 2007 "American Idol" winner was forced to cancel three shows over the weekend, including the opening night of Keys' tour Saturday in Hampton, Va., and an Earth Day gig at Washington, D.C.'s National Mall.

"Jordin is on a vocal rest, but she's expected to make a full recovery and join Alicia on tour in May," said a spokesperson for Sparks' Jive label.

Get well soon hon!
