Now back to the newest music from the long haired country singer. Regardless of who he is working with it seems that his major focus is just staying true to himself. He said recently in an interview:

“I already had half of the album done before I went over to Show Dog anyway. I had six songs done before I even went over there. No, it didn’t change anything that I was doing. I was already heading in this direction to start with.”

Well you will have to check it out and see if he is still rockin’ it! Will Trace Adkins’ “Cowboy’s Back in Town” be another big success for him, or has too much changed? Check out these photos and this video of one of the songs on the album, and then leave me your thoughts.

Amanda Sheppard is Bryan Ferry’s girlfriend, and it doesn’t look like she is going anywhere anytime soon. Photos of the couple enjoying their summer on the water are circulating the web this week, and they look pretty content.

I think it’s about time we come up with a name for older men who date younger women. Yes, it’s been going on forever, but what do you call the male version of a cougar?

Whatever that may be, it is safe to call Bryan Ferry one. At 65, he is still going strong with his 28-year-old girlfriend. Two years have gone by and they still look very much in love. The Daily Mail published photos of them boating around St. Tropez, and even eating at Club 55.

Earlier this year she was spotted in the front row of one of his shows. She has been enjoying quite the lavish life after Ferry agreed to let her quit her job on his dime.

I got a good laugh after hearing Ferry’s logic behind dating younger women. He says:

“I don’t know… maybe I just don’t meet (older women)…Maybe they’re all married. You are likely to meet more single younger girls than older ones… they get taken.”

True enough, I suppose. You have to give him credit for not making any negative comments about them being old and wrinkly.

He wasn’t always on the market for young ladies like Amanda Sheppard. Once upon a time he was actually married to a woman that was roughly his age. You may recall that he stuck by Lucy Helmore for a while until they split a few years ago. The two even have four adult children together; Otis, Isaac, Tara and Merlin. There are even stories of Bryan dating one of his son’s former girlfriends.

I wonder what they think of his younger lover. Check out some Amanda Sheppard photos here. I also through in one of his music videos. What do you think of Bryan Ferry’s girlfriend?

American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino has been making headlines the last couple of days and unfortunately it is not for her amazing voice and incredible talent. However it is that talent that not only made her a star but is the reason why we are going to take a look at some Fantasia music videos and why she was Caption This contest for the week. And now it is time to announce the big winner so keep reading.

She is super successful and it is very hard to decide which Fantasia music video is the best so I have narrowed it down to my two favorites. But first as promised it is time to announce the winner of our Caption This contest.

Drumroll please this weeks winner is once again Joan who had this to say about the photo of Barrino.

Wow.. it’s hard to do this without being harsh after her accident.. but at first glance, the main photo makes it look like she is missing her left arm!

It is such a true statement Joan and soemthing I didn’t even notice when I chose the picture. Hey it made for a great Caption though, nice job Joan.

Now back to the topic of what a talented singer and great performer Barrino is, that is evident in everything she creates. Whether she is making a little video to go with her song or you just see a clip of the singer doing her thing, you can see that she is destined to be a star. Although there are so many of hers that I love the one that always gets me is Free Yourself there is just something about it that gets to me, you can check it out below to see what I am talking about. My other favorite is Bittersweet which agin jut gets to me.

Those are just a couple of my favorite Fantasia music videos. I of course want to know what ones you like best.

Thanks to all who participated in our fun Caption This game, it was a great photo and there is so much to say about the singer. Make sure you check back on Tuesday for a hot new topic and photo that will be waiting for your captions.

Alex Carapetis is being called Kesha’s boyfriend after photos and video were taken of them at a big event this weekend. Now fans of the Tik-Tok singer are dying to know more about him.

It makes perfect sense—a drummer who once toured with goth-industrial giant Nine In Nails is now supposedly dating a pop princess. Sounds like a likely match, eh?

Either way, Alex was at Kesha’s hip this weekend in all of his lanky, awkward splendor. The two were out and about this in Chicago at an event related to the Lollapalooza music festival, and sources claim they are showing signs of serious puppy love:

“They wouldn’t stop making out! … They have natural chemistry and are always laughing.”

Those same sources also claim that the native Australian even moved to LA just to be closer to his new lady, and that they may get matching tattoos. Now isn’t that special?

Maybe he got excited after seeing the recent leaked photo of her online? If you remember correctly, that one was rumored to have been taken by a DJ she collaborated with. Could he be interested in a collaboration himself? Just a thought.

Alex Carapetis kind of reminds me of a poor man’s Russell Brand; tall and skinny, with skinny jeans and gangly long hair. I think it would be hilarious if she somehow worked him into her next music video—that is IF he can stay Kesha’s boyfriend for that long.

Ever since she hit it big, people have been curious about her love life. Other than the recent photo scandal, not much has been known about it. The strangest rumor was that she was dating Adam Lambert—but it turns out that they just like kissing each other.

Check out some photos and video related to Alex Carapetis, Kesha’s boyfriend below.

“A lot of them say, ‘Well, if you sucked, we wouldn’t care that you were friends with Jensen.’ So I guess that’s kind of a compliment,” he laughs.

Adler is a true example of how addiction can be beat. I’m so happy that Steven was able to conquer many of the demons that were eating away at his soul. I always loved Steven and how could you not with a mane like that? Will you be checking out Steven Adler’s new book My Appetite for Destruction?

With Ke$ha being the opening act for Rihanna on the Last Girl on Earth tour, you can bet these two songstresses have gotten to know each other real well. In fact, we’re hearing that there are Ke$ha, Rihanna naked sleepovers taking place after the shows. Read more and see photos here.

Are there Ke$ha, Rihanna sleepovers that we aren’t being invited to? That’s what I am hearing, but I’m also willing to bet that Ke$ha will say anything for a bit of publicity and it sure as heck worked!

About her tour experience with RiRi so far, Ke$ha divulges information about their close knit relationship. She told MTV News, “We have slumber parties and pillow fights and we braid each other’s hair a lot. We talk about boys, naked.” Right. She just had to through in that last little word I’m guessing, to make things interesting.

But all joking aside, Ke$ha has highlighted this tour as one of the best experiences of her life saying, “She has one of the best voices of anyone I’ve ever seen live, and I kind of just take it as my opportunity to hype up thousands of people. Touring with Rihanna is incredible, you should come see it. It’s really fun. I’ve been out with her for about two weeks now, and I just learn so much from her as a performer. It’s epic. She’s amazing live and her voice is just so good. I’m kind of just, like, her hype girl. I take the stage and hype it up for 40 minutes.”

So basically the Ke$ha Rihanna naked sleepovers bit was just a line of publicity coming from Ke$ha’s mouth. Have you gotten a chance to check out the Last Girl on Earth tour? If so, what was your experience like? Share your comments in the section below.

These are certainly going to be pictures you will want to check out as well as the below video so keep reading.

While at a water park in the Bahamas a hot bikini clad Katy Perry and boyfriend Russell Brand enjoyed the slides and other attractions with a group of friends which included her brother David. However it was Perry looking fine in a black and white two piece with red trim that is causing a stir now.

It appears that the strict diet and exercise program Katy has been following in order to get ready to her upcoming nuptials to Brand has paid off big time, she is rumored to be following the 5 Factor Diet. Incase you are unsure what exactly that is, well you are suppose to eat five meals a day which each have five ingredients in them and take only five minutes to prepare, sounds weird to me but I have heard it works.

Don’t get me wrong the California Girls singer has always looked good but now her assets are looking fine. She looked svelte if you will in the two piece swimsuit at the water park. You can check out the pictures of Perry here. Is she oozing sex appeal not necessary but none the less she still looks pretty freaking good.

Katy Perry’s hot bikini photos are going to have people talking whether you think she looks great or not. I for one think she looks great but as always that is just my two cents so let me know what you think about all the fuss over the latest pictures of Perry in a two piece.
