British pop star Leona Lewis already has a reputation for being a good girl, but now she says she’s not only a good girl … she’s a “good diva.” And she’s not going around spending unnecessary money unlike her celebrity counterparts.

“The term ‘diva’ has such a negative connotation, but I see myself as a kind of good diva. I’m a next-door diva,” she said in the latest issue of Petra magazine.

Leona says she doesn’t make crazy demands and insists that she’s very frugal, unlike most pop stars in the industry. And her biggest purchases so far have been her house and her two cost-efficient environmentally friendly whips.

“The biggest things I’ve bought are a house and my two cars. One of the cars is a Mini Cooper. But in Los Angeles I always drive a Hybrid Toyota Prius which is very environmentally friendly.”

Here are a few pics of the “good diva” with Adam Lambert, Monique Coleman, Angela Simmons, LL Cool J, LaToya Jackson and more on the red carpet of the US Weekly Hot Hollywood Event. The star-studded event was held Wednesday night (Nov 18) at Vouyer in Los Angeles. Continue reading for the rest of the pictures…

Sorry about the big gap in updates today, we had some biz to handle … just like these celebrities we caught on the scene handling their business this past Tuesday! Rapper Wale visited Fuse Studios in New York City Tuesday (Nov 10) to appear on Fuse TV’s “Hip Hop Shop” to promote his new album Attention Deficit, which dropped that day. In a series of tweets following his debut album’s launch, the D.C. born emcee said that each song on his album tells a story:

“On the train, bumpin’ my album,” he wrote. “I feel like telling y’all facts about Attention Deficit. Why not? There’s a story behind every song. On ‘Mama Told Me,’ I had something stuck in my teeth. At the beginning you can hear me making this weird noise tryin’ to get it out.” (Warning: Once you know that fact, that’s the only think you can hear.)

A few minutes later, he added that producer Mark Ronson actually encouraged Wale to tone down the lyrics of “90210,” where he skewers Paris Hilton (among others). “I admit i was too mean on that,” he wrote. Finally, he said that the album’s best track almost fell by the wayside. “‘Contemplate’ almost didn’t make the album. Jay-Z was a writer on the song sampled and we couldn’t reach him until the last minute.”

American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert premiered his new single “For Your Entertainment” taken from his debut album by the same title, due November 23rd. The track was produced by Dr. Luke and the single cover is above. As for the track, we’re pretty sure that with the right promotion and a hot video, it will be a hit. It’s extremely commercial and like other works from Dr. Luke, the song is a metaphor for sex. Download it below (or take a listen above) and let us know what you think!

D/L: ADAM LAMBERT – FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT

Singer Adam Lambert took to his Twitter yesterday and spoke on the controversy surrounding the cover of his upcoming debut album, For Your Entertainment.

“Thank you to those who appreciate and understand that the album cover is deliberately campy. It’s a homage to the past. It IS ridiculous. For those that don’t get it: oh well… Glad to have gotten your attention. Androgyny. Rock n Roll.”

We’re just glad he knows that it’s extremely campy; but if that’s what he was going for, then we say, “Rock On!”

In other album news, he also revealed that his debut single was produced by Dr. Luke and is also titled “For Your Entertainment.” Adam describes it as a dance track that will make you “shake yo a**es” Other tracks on the album are “Soaked”, “Music Again”, “Strut”, “Aftermath”, “Broken Open”, and “Down the Rabbit Hole”; the last four being penned by Lambert himself.

Michael Jackson’s brothers (L – R): Jermaine, Tito, Jackie and Marlon arrived together on the red carpet of the King of Pop’s new film, “This Is It,” which premiered worldwide Wednesday (Oct 28) and made $2.2 million on its opening night in North America Tuesday (Oct 27). Here the remaining members of the iconic “Jackson 5” music group are pictured with the director and producer of the film (and the former tour) Kenny Ortega.

The big event drew in a lot of other famous faces, like Paula Abdul, Martin Lawrence, Vivica A. Fox, Will Smith, Tyrese and more. Continue reading for the rest of the pictures from the premiere!

American Idol Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert revealed the cover for his debut album For Your Entertainment.

The album is set to hit stores November 23rd and will be going head to head with big names like Rihanna, Diddy, Timbaland and Britney Spears.

The cover definitely fits Adam and his style but we’re calling it risky because in today’s mainstream America, you don’t see many covers like this (read: he looks very androgynous in this pic). It’s a ballsy move and overall it’s just a bit too much! Hopefully this album works out well for him cause he’s got the talent.
