BREAKING NEWS: First Major Country Artist Comes Out of the Closet! Chely Wright!

Over the past few weeks, there has been a lot of speculation as to which country star would be coming out of the closet this week...well look no further...the lesbian country singer is, according to gossip site TMZ...CHELY WRIGHT!

Wright has had a number one hit with 'Single White Female' and has even been romantically linked to hunky country singer Brad Paisley.

The country crooner made headlines a few years back for her song, 'Bumper of My SUV' because it was alleged that members of her fanclub were posing as US military/vets and requesting the song to radio (to increase radio airplay). The claim has not been substantiated but as soon as this theory was discussed, radio play for this single completely vanished.

 The 39 year old singer is the first country artist to come out. Of course the timing of this announcement coincides with Chely Wright's new CD (Lifted Off the Ground) and book (Like Me) (links below).

MAJOR HYPE: Piranha 3D Trailer released!

One of the most anticipated 3D movies to be released this year, Piranha 3D, has just released its full trailer. The movie, which stars Elisabeth Shue and a bevy of bikini beauties and a whole lot of piranhas, is set to be released this August.

Hyped to be one of the bloodiest movies of all time and based on the wicked trailer, this movie looks to be the guilty pleasure of summer films.

Justin Bieber invited to strip club by Slash!

So it looks like when Slash and tween sensation Justin Bieber bumped into each other last weekend in Sydney, Australia, Slash made a shocking proposition....

According to reports, when the two stars met, Bieber suggested going for dinner together while Slash wanted to take Bieber to a STRIP CLUB!

Slash was quoted as saying, "I told him, I said maybe me and the Mrs. will take you to a strip bar. But that didn't happen 'cause his minder told me that he's got a curfew and he's with his mom."

I'm sure this was all in fun given that the 16 year old would not even be allowed into a strip club!

Gizmodo computers SEIZED! The iPhone saga continues...

An update to my earlier article on the iPhone leak (found here: http://hypeheist.blogspot.com/2010/04/major-hype-unreleased-apple-iphone-leak.html).

It looks like police have seized the computer of one of Gawker Media's employees. Gawker (which owns Gizmodo blog) employee, Jason Chen's home computer was taken on Friday, April 26 by local police in a potential closer look into the recent iPhone leak.

What's interesting about this development is that Gawker claims this act violates California's journalism law. So this bears the question: should bloggers be treated the same as journalists? Looks like in this case, they aren't.

Gizmodo, who bought the unreleased iPhone for 5K, could also be in legal trouble for buying stolen property (if indeed the phone was stolen). The web site has since returned the iPhone to Apple but it looks like the troubles could just be starting.

Canadian Idol judge Sass Jordan comments on Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson and Fantasia

In a recent interview with Long Live Rock (on Blog Talk Radio), Canadian Idol judge, Sass Jordan commented on a wide-range of topics, including American/Canadian Idol; the good and the bad of Idol; living with Idol creator, Simon Fuller, before he was famous; being wooed by Kiss lead singer Gene Simmons; and her opinion on some of the American Idol winners, including Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, and Fantasia.

Since I know the above ladies have a lot of fans, I have transcribed what Sass had to say about them. I took out some of the 'ums' and misc comments. If you know anything about Sass, she loves to talk and laugh, so I did my best! If you want to listen to the entire interview, it's a great listen to learn about the ins and outs of a music career, as well as the Idol franchise. You can hear it here: Sass Jordan interview

As promised, here's the blurb:

Sass: Occasionally, once in a blue moon, somebody will break through all that and actually connect at such a visceral level that they can gain new fans and they can keep the old ones. For example, C arrie Underwood, who also, I must say it was so well set up and she chose the right path by going the country path, it’s perfect. Everything was perfect, it makes complete sense....then there is Kelly, who is actually in my opinion...Kelly, all I can think of is Ripa, for god sakes, what’s her last name? She’s the first idol..Kelly something...it sucks cause she’s AWESOME but I can’t...

Host: Clarkson! You’re thinking of Kelly Clarkson...

Sass: Yes it is! Kelly Clarkson! Kelly Clarkson is truly fantastic. She’s truly a fantastic singer and also Fantasia. Fantasia and Kelly Clarkson these gals I thought were pretty spectacular.

 In case you're interested in seeing more from Sass, here's a link to her website: http://www.sassjordan.com/ and her new CD: From Dusk Til Dawn (link to my review of the CD: http://hypeheist.blogspot.com/2010/03/new-music-review-sass-jordan-from-dusk.html )
