Stop The Presses!

  • For some folks, 65 is retirement age. For Elton John, who reaches that mark on Sunday, it's the age at which you book a summer tour of Europe in addition to your lucrative Las Vegas residency… release a T Bone Burnett-produced comeback CD… prepare a sequel to your last hit animated musical, Gnomeo & Juliet… watch the grosses come in for your touring stage musical, Billy Elliot… dress up as a monarch and shill for Pepsi in inescapable TV spots…

    And, oh yeah, the age at which you stop and smell the nappies.

    "I love the smell of nappies and diapers," John said at a press event last year, helpfully using both the British and American terms for the fragrant delights. Perhaps he'd taken leave of his olfactory senses, but most likely the long-recovered alcoholic has found his true late-in-life fix getting high on fatherhood.

  • People magazine is reporting that Whitney Houston's official cause of death was accidental drowning, and that she had cocaine in her system at the time of her death. A source has confirmed to People that contributing factors in her death included heart disease and cocaine use, according to an investigation.

    Houston died of accidental drowning due to the effects of cocaine use and heart disease, a Los Angeles County coroner's spokesman said on Thursday, according to Reuters.

    Houston, 48, died February 11, the afternoon before the Grammy Awards, after she was found in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where her mentor Clive Davis was holding his annual pre-Grammy bash that evening. Houston had planned to attend the party. At the time, the L.A Coroner confirmed that prescription pill bottles were found in her hotel room, but "not in alarming amounts."

    A press conference to announce KISS and Motley Crue's 40-date co-headlining North American summer tour turned into a Rihanna diss session Tuesday.

    "We're sick and tired of girls getting up there with dancers and karaoke tapes in back of them," Simmons said, according to Billboard. "No karaoke singers allowed. No fake bullsh-t. Leave that to Rihanna-Schimianna and everybody else whose name ends with an 'A.'"

  • We're excited about some updates to Yahoo! Music, and wanted to share the news with you.

    First, we updated the look of the Y! Music homepage. Our old design served us well, and in fact did so for several years, but times have changed, music has changed, and Y! Music has changed--and this new design frees us up considerably and will offer us the sort of new flexibility that we've all long been hankering for. We think you'll find it easier to navigate throughout the site, and our ability to guide you toward that content of which are most proud, that we think you'll most enjoy, has especially been enhanced.

    We also teamed up with a music video platform leader, VEVO, to deliver a deeper catalog of artists and a top-notch video player that will significantly up the look and feel of music videos on our site.  We think you'll instantly notice the upgrade in video quality and we'd love to get your feedback in this regard.

    Finally, we'd like to point out that all of this is a work in progress.

But there was a time when they questioned the direction of her career.

    When Lady Gaga's parents attended one of her shows when she was still an unsigned artist, they were shocked by what they saw on stage.

    "When she was performing at Joe's Pub downtown, she was in a bikini and performing with Lady Starlight and they started to light hairspray on fire," Cynthia explained. "Some people left. Her father, … he actually said, 'I think she has a screw loose.'"

  • Klum and Hanks party it upHeidi Klum may still be feeling the sting of her January split with pop-star husband Seal, but she certainly didn't show it on Thursday night. The supermodel was the life of the party at a fundraiser for UNICEF, bringing down the house with her karaoke rendition of the Village People's "YMCA."

    However, what fun would this particular tune be without the famous dance and crazy hats? Klum didn't disappoint. She got fully in the mode by donning a feather headdress, and even got the whole room to dance with her--including some fellow superstar friends such as Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson (Hanks wore the construction hat; Wilson opted to be the cowboy).
