U2 to return with new album this 2009

Hey U2 fans i have a newbie for you guess what? It’s official: The irish band will realease it’s 12th studio album, “No Line On The Horizon,” March 3 here in the U.S. This will be the quartet’s first since 2004 “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb” which sold more than 9 million copies worldwide . This new album was recorded in Morocco, Dublin, New York and London. The album was originally planned to be released in November 2008, but the band had written approximately 50-60 songs and wished to continue writing. Other artists to  release albums this 2009 include Eminem, Keith Urban,Dr. Dre, and Bruce Springsteen. Which one do you pick?

Preview Britney Spears new album “Circus”

I know what you’re thinking…we shamelessly love some Brit Brit. Actually, we’re just glad to see she’s back to her rocking self after a horrendous “comeback” at the MTV Video Music Awards (remember that). Last year was her WORST YEAR EVER, and you know, we’re just glad she didn’t give in to temptation and cut her wrists to end it all. The madness spilled into 2008, but she got a grip on herself by summer, and Ms. Thang is looking better than ever this year. Here’s a blow by blow on Brit’s life since she married that good for nothing loser. Circus will probably never reach #1, but we’re glad she at least reached #2 on the album charts.  Below is a preview of the album in case you missed it. Should you buy it? Nah! Third time’s a charm, so keep going Britney. Read more

Britney is back and on the cover of Rolling Stone

Yes She Can!! And she’s back with a new album called “Circus” in stores now.  As you can see, Ms. Thang is also on the new cover Rolling Stone mag, and has announced plans for a 2009  tour.  Doesn’t she look great? Are you feeling the more mature Britney look? I am, and to be honest with you,  I’m not surprised to see her attempt a 2nd comeback. You go girl!  After all she is a huge, young star with looks, talent, and charisma to boot.  Check out some of Brit’s pics after the jump.
