Lindsay Lohan NOT Dropped from Label

October 27, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Lindsay Lohan might not be able to afford her nose candy much longer since reports have surfaced of her being dropped by her record label. The rumor states that after working for an year and a half on her album, Lindsay has been dropped by Casablanca Records. According to her reps, this isn’t true. Gossip Cop also states that reps for the label have also called crap on the drop story.

And a rep for Universal Music, the parent company of Casablanca, says she’s still on the Casablanca label, with distribution through Universal.

The struggling actress and wanna be fashion VIP is reportedly having trouble finding work that pays, as it has also been revealed that her high-profile work for the Ungaro fashion house has been mostly for clothing. While she reportedly paid for both her stay in Paris as well as her flight, she did manage to snatch about $100,000 worth of clothes in the process.

Per NYMag:

Though last week it was reported that Lindsay is working at Ungaro for free clothes alone, Moufarrige says she’s getting paid: Moufarrige won’t reveal her pay package, saying only that it is “quite enough. It’s expensive”. Given her unpredictability, it is also a risk. Her fragility, says Moufarrige, “has been factored in”. It needs to be.

However, sources have reported that Lindsay has been followed around by a camera crew lately, being followed by a camera crew in Paris at the Vogue party and later when she hit a ton of clubs around town. This is leading many to believe that she’s taken the reality TV high-road, just like many other washed-up, worn-out celebs have. There’s always plan B Lindsay – Sell your Ungaro clothes on ebay for the quick and easy buck. Those pills don’t buy themselves!

It Is Now ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8′ Minus Jon

September 29, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Now that Kate has Jon out of her life, its about time to get him off her tv show! It a surprising yet hilarious announcement, Jon Gosselin has been dropped from “Jon and Kate Plus 8.” In other words, the womanizer has been fired from the show that made him a household name. The show will simply be renamed “Kate Plus 8.”

Per People:

“Given Jon’s recent antics, there was no way the show could continue to portray him as a doting Dad, not while all this other crap was going on,” a source close to Jon Gosselin tells PEOPLE.

I guess TLC had enough of Jons’ bed hopping and media whoring! After an initial ratings spike last spring when rumors of marital problems came about, the ratings have since dropped steadily after the show started up again in August. Jon won’t be out completely – it is being said he will still continue to to appear on the show, just on a less than regular basis. The show will now focus on their children and Kates’ role as a single mother. Jon has been rumored to be shopping around a reality show about him being a divorced Dad, while Kate recently taped a pilot for a talk show co-starring Food Network star Paula Deen in addition to filling in for Elizabeth Hasselbeck on “The View” during her maternity leave. Jons made it clear in the media lately that he’s less than interested in continuing with the show. But could he be having a change of heart? Jon is currently trying to ‘slow down’ his life a little bit, going as far as to trying to halt the divorce proceedings for 90 days to ‘regain control over the future of our family.’

Per PopEater:

“I regret my conduct since Kate and I separated … I used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon. Even though we were heading for a divorce, it appeared that Kate had been suffering from this divorce as much as I had. That’s why I asked my attorney to put the brakes on this divorce so I could try to regain control over the future of our family. So Kate and I could join on a cooperative course that would benefit our family — not destroy it,” Jon tells In Touch Weekly. “…it will enable Kate and me to restore our relationship as cooperative parents and to open up our lines of communication. I hope that she will be as receptive and enthusiastic as I am to do what is best for our family.”

Yeah, right Jon. Since when do you care about being a father, as your actions as of late show otherwise? His divorce halting announcement just so happens to coincide with being dropped from the show. Don’t fall for it Kate. A lesser role on the show means less money for Jon. He is just trying to make nice to get his cut of the deal back. He’s worried about being separated from the money not the family.

Katherine Heigl Is Overpriced

May 27, 2009 By Crista Webster Leave a Comment

It didn’t take long for Katherine Heigl to get back on her high horse. It seems the “Grey’s Anatomy” actress and resident beyotch was in talks to star with an ensemble cast in Gary Marshall’s romantic comedy “Valentine’s Day”, but she pulled out of the project when her demands weren’t met…or even entertained by the producers.

It seems Heigl and her people came to the table demanding she be paid a staggering $3 million-more than any of the other actors work on the flick-actors that include Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, and Shirley MacLaine.

As if her price tag wasn’t enough, that price is attached to a mere 14 days of shooting. That’s right kids, Heigl believes she’s worth $1.5 million/week.

A rep for Heigl denies the claims via Page Six:

“The story is ludicrous. Early negotiations are a daily occurrence in this business, and just for clarification, Katherine walked away from this project for multiple reasons.”

Multiple reasons? Like not getting $3 million, her own trailer, chef, white roses, personal umbrella holder, and someone to wipe her bum?

Heigl is known for being a major beyotch on sets and often bites and gnaws the hands that feed her.

While shooting “Knocked-Up” she criticized how writer/director Judd Apatow portrayed women in the film, and she withdrew her name from last year’s Emmy race stating, “I do not feel I was given the material this season to warrant a nomination.”

Hey Katherine, next time you withdraw your name, you are also free to stay home so we aren’t subjected to 10 minutes of you and Seacrest kisses each other’s arses on the red carpet.

Ashanti Dropped From Record Label

May 8, 2009 By Crista Webster Leave a Comment

If you listened to music about four years ago, you may remember a singer named Ashanti. She had a few songs of her own, sold a few albums. Most importantly, she started showing up with rappers like Fat Joe and Ja Rule on their songs. Coattails…gotta love them.

However, you probably haven’t heard of her recently. That’s likely due to the fact that her last album, ‘The Declaration’, failed to bring in the numbers that her earlier work did. The last time I heard of her was when she spent a couple months making out with Jesse Metcalf for the flick “John Tucker Must Die”, which believe it or not, I love.

Her lack of appeal hasn’t gone unnoticed by her boss, Irv Gotti-label head for The Inc. (formerly Murder Inc. Records). He announced recently that Ashanti and her label are parting ways.

Via MTV News:

“The relationship has run its course. The chemistry of what’s needed — we’re in two totally different places. You’re talking to somebody that took her and shaped and molded her and put her out there for the world, and it blew up. We [hold the record] for the [fastest] selling debut by a female R&B artist — 503 [thousand]. We did it! My views and philosophies and her views and philosophies are not meeting up.”

This is bad news for Ashanti’s esthetician who was likely making nice cash keeping those sideburns of hers under control.

On the bright side, Ashanti is rumored to have turned down a scholarship to Yale in order to pursue her music career. Maybe they’ll reconsider reinstating it?

Jessica Simpson Dropped From Record Label – UPDATED

April 7, 2009 By Cara Harrington 2 Comments

Oooo…I bet Creepy PePaw Joe is going to start passing the basket to save Jessica Simpson’s career. Rumor has it that the witless wonder is getting the axe. Nashville Gab reported the beginning of the rumor.

After a string of flubbed live performances and a failing venture into country music, Simpson is being dropped from Sony BMG Nashville. She was touring with Rascal Flatts and forgot the words to many of her own songs and embarrassed herself on more than one occasion. Simpson has also had to restart several of her songs and lamented to concert goers about the band constantly having to save her. Joe Galante, head of Sony Nashville, is reportedly fed up and give her an ultimatum back in December. Shape up or ship out.

The searching eyes over at Country Music Tattle Tale noticed that her name is no longer on the artists list on the sites of Columbia Nashville or Sony Music Nashville. The sites have also been purged of anything Jessica related. Photos, press releases and her profile are noticeably absent.

This is just a rumor at this point, but I am sure a spin doctor is tirelessly working on a statement Jess will screw up later and will go something like:

Hey Y’all,

I have decided to take a break from the country music busi…bus…i…ness…bus…wait I have decided to take a break from the bus? What is that word? Oh, I will just do it myself. I have decided to take a break from doing my twang singing. Instead I want to go start a duck farm because baby ducks are the cutest. By then I am hoping Tony will have finally decided to marry me and then I plan to crank out a cook book that will be centered around cooking with Velveeta and beef jerky.

Peace, Love and Processed Cheese!
Jess

Poor girl. Lets hope that weave line she is cranked out will pay the bills for awhile.

UPDATE – It’s confirmed Jessica Simpson was indeed dropped. She is still with Epic, but her country music career is over. Her rep confirmed to Us Weekly:

“She was on loan to Sony Nashville for her country album. She is and has always been an Epic artist,” her rep adds. “She continues to be on Epic’s label.”
