A message from Soulja Boy regarding his meltdown on twitter the other night;
A lot of people talking about what I twittered the other night…so I want to address it, now that I have had some time to do some thinking. At 18 years, having grown up in the Mississippi Delta, I never thought my life would take me to where I am now. All I wanted to do was make music. All I thought I loved was music. I would die for that motherf*ckin music. But, once I got a record deal and all these people around me trying to tell me who to be, what to do and how to do it, I realized that I wasn’t making music any more for the love. I got into this weird place where I began making music for the money. And I was making a lot of money…more money than I could ever imagine. And with that money, of course, I could buy a lot of things…but to be honest, you can only drive that brand new phantom around the corner oh so many times… and when you are done driving, it really don’t mean sh*t. I thought money was gonna bring me happiness. And that is the farthest thing from the truth. Money f*cks you up.
I know I might sound crazy, because a lot of you who are reading are probably like, I wish I had this ni**a’s money. But, the truth is that money got me twisted. All I want to do is go back to making music for the love of it. The accolades and the awards are for everyone else. The music is for me. The music is my happiness. So, of course I am struggling in my mind right now…cause I wanna get back to place where I woke up, thinking about what I was gonna write that day. Where I went to sleep ready to dream about what I was gonna write the next day.
I know my fans. And I know they will understand this. This ain’t got nothing to do with y’all. Oh yeah… sorry to all my white peeps out there. I’m not racist But I guess time will heal all wounds…

Twitter Lily Allen no Smiles
Pop star Lily Allen - who had a No1 with Smile - is one of the world's most miserable stars because her Twitter website is awash with references to bad dreams and tears.
Troubled Britney Spears, London Mayor Boris Johnson and rapper P Diddy were the only celebs with gloomier postings.
In contrast, the most upbeat stars are singer Jamie Cullum and tennis ace Jamie Murray, says the study by psychologists for Aussie lager giant Foster's.
Noel Gallagher "Lily Allen Is A Good Kid"
Noel Gallagher has described outspoken pop singer Lily Allen as a "good kid".
Writing on his blog, the Oasis guitarist revealed he saw the 'Smile' hitmaker performing at Belgium's Rock Werchter Festival last Thursday, July 3, where his band were also on the bill.
Gallagher writes: "I haven't seen her in a while. I've known Lil since she was a kid. Her old fella [Keith Allen] used to bring her round to that Supernova Heights gaff of mine in the '90s. A good kid. Works hard, plays hard."
Oasis are wrapping-up their UK stadium tour this week, ending with a three-night run at Wembley Stadium.

Allen admits to falling in love easily
05/07/2009 - 13:36:16
'It's Not Fair' singer Lily Allen admits she falls in love easily and enjoys going on dates.
The 'Fear' singer - who has been single since splitting from art dealer Jay Jopling in January - becomes smitten with new boyfriends quickly because she adores the early stages of relationships.
She said: "I fall in love easily. It's a big problem for me. I just can't help it, I love flirting, kissing, the whole first date stuff. I'm an all or nothing girl and it gets me into trouble."
Despite Lily's enthusiasm for romance, the 24-year-old singer - who also dated DJ Seb Chew, 32, and Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons, 39 - is often left devastated when the relationships don't last.
She said: "Do I get easily heartbroken? Yes, always, because I throw myself right in. I'm very, very emotional."
Last year, Lily suffered a miscarriage after returning from a romantic break in the Maldives with Ed.
Despite splitting up weeks later, Lily insists the couple are now firm friends and there is no animosity between them.
She said: "We're still friends, everything's cool. Really cool actually, there's nothing bad there at all and he lives just down the road so why not?"
Earlier this month, it was reported Lily is desperately looking for a new boyfriend.
A source said: "Lily hates being single - she needs a man in her life. She feels insecure going to events and hates turning up without a man. She wants someone to hold her hand for all the red carpet events she attends."

Two Walt Disney World monorail trains collided early Sunday morning, killing the operator of one of the trains.
Walt Disney World spokesman Mike Griffin said the crash happened at about 2 a.m. Sunday, on one of the monorail's last runs of the day. A cast member who was piloting one of the monorails died at the scene of the accident, while another monorail driver was taken to the hospital. The second driver's injuries were not serious, Griffin said.
The trains were transporting guests leaving Epcot Center. Six park guests were on the train during the crash, but were not injured, Griffin said.
According to park schedules, Epcot closed Saturday at 10 p.m.
The wreck is the first fatal accident in the Walt Disney World monorail system's almost 38-year history, according to CFNews13.com. Walt Disney World officials said they are working with law enforcement officials to find out what happened.
"Our heart goes out to the cast member and the family," Griffin said.
Epcot is scheduled to open on time at 9 a.m. today, but the monorail to the park will not be in service, according to a Walt Disney World spokeswoman.
Walt Disney World released the following statement regarding the incident:
"Today, we mourn the loss of our fellow cast member. Our hearts go out to his family and to those who have lost a friend and co-worker. The safety of our guests and cast members is always our top priority. The monorail is out of service and we will continue to work closely with law enforcement to determine what happened and the approximate next steps." -- Mike Griffin, Walt Disney World Vice President of Public Affairs
Whenever I ride the monorail I'm always scared it's going to crash D:

The news over the new Disney production, “Alice in Wonderland”, from director Tim Burton, aren't only the photos released last week. Disney Brasil has released for the national press, 3 photographs from the August issue of Vanity Fair. The images present Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen and Mia Wasikowska as Alice.
On the new version of this classic story, Alice is currently 17 years old. Attending to a Victorian party she finds out that a man will propose in front of hundreds of nobles. She runs away - following a white rabbit - to Wonderland, a place she had already visited ten years earlier, but couldn’t remember.

Actress Mischa Barton has revealed that she finds it easier to lock lips with girls than the opposite sex while filming. The former O.C star, best known for her role as Marissa Cooper in the television series, said that she found kissing guys more "tense".
"It's so much easier to kiss a girl. You're so much more relaxed filming than you are doing a guy and girl scene. You can relax and have a laugh about it, whereas if it's a man you have to kiss, the whole thing's a bit tense," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
The 23-year-old further said that she was yet to understand how she kept landing roles that included lesbian scenes. She said: "I don''t know why that keeps happening to me, but my scripts have a lot of girl-on-girl kissing. But if it''s part of my character, that doesn't really annoy me.”

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Infamous record label owner Allen Klein, who played a key role in the demise of the Beatles and also nabbed control of some of the Rolling Stones' best-known songs, died in New York on Saturday after a battle with Alzheimer's disease, a spokesman said. He was 77.
During a career spanning more than 50 years, the New Jersey-born accountant enjoyed a reputation as a savvy gangster-like figure. His ruthless business practices were reviled by many, but he also earned grudging respect for bullying labels into giving rich deals to his clients.
"Don't talk to me about ethics," he told Playboy magazine in 1971. "Every man makes his own. It's like a war. You choose your side early and from then on, you're being shot at. The man you beat is likely to call you unethical. So what?"
It did not hurt his reputation when he was sentenced to two months in prison in 1979 for tax evasion.
He once said John Lennon hired him to protect his interest in the Beatles because he and wife Yoko Ono wanted "a real shark -- someone to keep the other sharks away."
Its assets include recordings by the Rolling Stones, the Animals, Herman's Hermits, Bobby Womack, the Kinks, Chubby Checker, Bobby Rydell and many others.
In addition to his children and wife, Klein is survived by his longtime girlfriend Iris Keitel, an ABKCO executive. His funeral will take place in New York on Tuesday.

n 2003, Hilary Duff was the preeminent teen queen; "Lizzie McGuire", her hit show on Disney, was still going strong, and her leap to the silver screen was also successful, with The Lizzie McGuire Movie, Agent Cody Banks, and Cheaper by the Dozen raking
in a combined $229,287,329. On top of her acting success, Duff's debut album Metamorphosis was the eighth best selling album of the year with 2.6 million copies sold nationwide (it would go on to be certified 4x Platinum by 2004). Now an adult, Duff has survived the perils of teenage celebrity (witness the meltdown of one-time rival Lindsay Lohan to fully grasp the dangers of youth, money, and fame) sans DUIs, sex tapes, or nude photo scandals. However, her teen queen roles have begun to dry up; 2006's Material Girls, in which she co-starred with her sister Haylie, made just over $11 million, and her third album Dignity, though well-reviewed, vastly undersold her first two. At this point, many expected Duff to fade into obscurity like so many child stars before her.
Her career path took a surprising turn in 2007 when she signed on to appear in John Cusack's war satire War, Inc., turning more than a few heads. The role, that of overly-sexual Central Asian popstar Yonica Babyyeah, was a far cry from the girl-next-door performancesHer career path took a surprising turn in 2007 when she signed on to appear in John Cusack's war satire War, Inc., turning more than a few heads. The role, that of overly-sexual Central Asian popstar Yonica Babyyeah, was a far cry from the girl-next-door performances
on which she had made her name. It also marked her first major role in an R-rated film. Duff followed this provocative performance (in one infamous scene she puts a scorpion down her pants) with roles in three more independent films: What Goes Up, Stay Cool,and Greta. In What Goes Up, which won the Audience Award at the Buffalo-Niagara Film Festival and hit theaters May 29, 2009, Duff plays the charismatic ringleader of a group of outcasts circa 1986. Directed by Jonathan Glatzer, and co-starring Steve Coogan, Molly Shannon, Josh Peck, and Olivia Thirlby, the film further distanced Duff from both her teen roles and her fanbase.
Next up was the Polish Bros. nostalgic comedy Stay Cool, which premiered at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival. Duff portrays a sexy high school senior who tempts leading man Mark Polish as Henry McCarthy. Greta is Duff's first main role since 2006's Material Girls; the film, co-starring Oscar-winner Ellen Burstyn, focuses on the suicidal title character's summer with her grandparents and a blossoming romance with a former inmate (Evan Ross). The film, which was picked up at the Cannes Film Market earlier this year, is slated for a 2009 release.
Duff continues her indie makeover with three more films in the pipeline: an upcoming Bonnie & Clyde film, Provinces of Night based on the acclaimed William Gay novel, and A Great Education with Sir Ben Kingsley. One thing is for certain, Duff has officially moved on from her Disney past and her indie reinvention could very well have saved her career. Lohan would do well to take a page from her book.

Daniel Radcliffe has become a contemporary art collector, despite the best efforts of a New York dealer who wanted a more high-profile client than the world's most famous teenager.
The dealer must not have watched Radcliffe grow up year by year on camera.
The fifth film adaptation of J K Rowling's multimillion-selling books, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, opens in 12 days' time, meaning that Radcliffe, who auditioned for the first when he was 11 and is now nearly 20, has been living with the boy wizard for almost half his life. There are still two more films to go, with the final doorstep volume split into two parts.
In an interview with the Guardian Weekend magazine, Radcliffe admits he has become a rather serious young man who keeps a chart of famous authors in history on his dressing room wall and compares the Harry Potter films with those by the French director Francois Truffaut that also follow one character from 11 to 20.
Radcliffe considered celebrating his legal majority when he turned 18 in July 2007 by buying a sensible car like a Toyota Prius or a Golf GTI. Instead he decided to invest in art, falling for a blue ink drawing on white paper, called Mona D, Mary and Me, by the New York-based conceptual artist Jim Hodges.
"The dealer said they wanted to sell it to a more prestigious collector and Jim got word of this," Radcliffe said. "Turns out he's a massive Harry Potter fan and insisted they sell it to me.
"Ever since then I've been really good friends with Jim and his best mate, Tim, a photographer. And they are two gay guys, artists, in New York, and they introduced me to these amazing, crazy, mad, weird, extraordinary people. I was immediately embraced by the New York tranny community."
He offers a useful tip for any other actor hounded by paparazzi and fans.
"If you want to go out on the street without being recognised, without even being looked at, go out with a 6ft 8in beautiful transsexual," Radcliffe said. "No one gives you a second glance."

Harry Potter star 'had swine flu'
Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint is recovering from a "mild bout" of swine flu, his publicist has said.
Grint, who plays Ron Weasley, took a few days off filming but has now returned to the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. And he is well enough to attend the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in London on Tuesday. "He has now recovered and is looking forward to joining his fellow cast members," his publicist said.
Scenes
She said that Grint's doctor had confirmed the 20-year-old actor had recovered and was no longer contagious or at risk of infecting others. "Other scenes were shot in his absence which did not require his involvement and thus filming was not disrupted," she added. Grint has starred in all the Harry Potter films as well as British comedy film Thunderpants and the comedy drama Driving Lessons with Julie Walters. He is currently filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - JK Rowling's final book about the teenage wizard and his friends.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is released in the UK on 15 July.

Ryan Reynolds has revealed that he will carry Deadpool's habit of breaking the fourth wall from the comics to the big screen. Being interviewed during the promotion of his latest film "The Proposal", he hinted that his character in "Deadpool" movie will occasionally be seen addressing the audience directly. "Break the fourth wall? Oh yeah, he's got to. I want to see him break the Great Wall," Reynolds told Empire.
Reynolds who portrayed the character in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" also informed 20th Century Fox has been working on a script and trying to find a director. The actor also claimed that he and the studio were working to make "Deadpool" as close as possible to the comic version, stating "The main goal is to make sure it stays close to the source material."
Asked if he feels under pressure from fanboys of the comics, Reynolds answered, "I'm one of them. I've always been a fan, at least for the last eight or nine years. I feel a bit of validation because I knew going into Wolverine that there's a huge fanbase for this and I don't think anyone else did."
"Deadpool" is a spin-off of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" in which the character made his first appearance. The project will be produced by Lauren Shuler Donner and Reynolds will reprise his role in "Deadpool"
