LADY GAGA will re-release her debut album, "The Fame", on November 24th. The reissue, which will be called "The Fame Monster", will feature remixes and several new songs, including one called "New York".
KELLY COVERS MILEY...THANK GOD...
KELLY CLARKSON sang MILEY CYRUS' song, "The Climb"...with two other singers named Jill & Kate...for an informal YouTube video.
It was so informal that the girls admit that they could probably use a shower. Not together...necessarily...although, there'd be nothing wrong with that.
It's an acoustic version...with three-part harmony...that definitely seems to be channeling Wilson Phillips. It's naturally, far FAR better than the version by skank-ball, cats-in-heat, can't-sing-worth-a-sh*t Miley. Check it...

KATY PERRY...
I don't know how you get this job, but I'm submitting my application tomorrow. Check out these pics of KATY PERRY'S makeup guy "adjusting" her breasts during a video shoot...
ROCK HALL NOMINATIONS
KISS, THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, GENESIS and rapper LL COOL J are the big names on the latest list of nominees for the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME.
This is the first year of eligibility for both Chili Peppers and LL Cool J.
For KISS though, this has been a long time coming. This is their first nomination...but they've been eligible since 1999. Until now, they were one of the more infamous snubs year in and year out.
Over that time, KISS has repeatedly mocked the rock hall for ignoring them.
Last year, GENE SIMMONS said, quote, "There are disco bands, rap bands, Yiddish folk song bands in the rock and roll hall of fame, but not Kiss. I believe we have more gold records in America than any other group, but it's OK."
This year's ballot also includes: ABBA, THE STOOGES, THE HOLLIES, reggae legend JIMMY CLIFF, the Queen of Disco, DONNA SUMMER...the '50s girl group THE CHANTELS, '60s singer DARLENE LOVE, and singer / songwriter LAURA NYRO.
The Hollies and Jimmy Cliff are in the same boat as KISS. They've been eligible for years, but never nominated. The rest have made it this far before.
Right now, ballots are being sent out to over 500 musicians, music "experts" and industry professionals. In January, they'll announce which five of those 12 artists (and groups) will be inducted at the 2010 ceremony, on March 15th in New York City.
In order to be eligible, an artist must have released their first recording at least 25 years ago. So, this year's newly-eligible artists dropped their first record back in 1984.
Other artists that just became eligible this year, but were passed over, include: The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Cult, Soul Asylum, Whitney Houston, The Flaming Lips, the Pet Shop Boys and A-Ha!!!
...but there are some HUGE acts that are eligible from previous years that are still being left out.
That list includes: Bon Jovi, Pantera, The Smiths, Motley Crue, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Ozzy Osbourne (solo), Journey, The Cars, The Cure, Boston, Electric Light Orchestra, Hall & Oates!!!, Blind Faith, and, of course, Alice Cooper.
Here's a FULL list of eligible artists, with the year they became eligible...

SPEAKING OF KATY PERRY...
She is working on her next album...and she wants it to be FUN.
She says, quote, "I'm kind of thinking I want to do my record like a mesh between 'Lovefool' by the Cardigans and ['The Sign'] by Ace of Base. I want to make songs that people want to hold hands and roller-skate to."
BRIT BRIT GREATEST HITS?
BRITNEY SPEARS will release a greatest hits compilation...called "The Singles Collection"...on November 24th. It'll feature 17 of her old hits, plus a new single called "3". That song hasn't been released yet. It should hit radio Tuesday, so make sure you lock it into Q92. I'm sure Nikolina will have it for you!
There will also be a limited edition box set version...if you're willing to shell out the green for that. It'll include all 29 of her singles, B-sides, remixes, and a DVD of all Britney's videos in chronological order.

BIG KIDS...
On Monday, a woman from northern Indonesia named Ani gave birth to a baby boy. But this wasn't just any baby boy. He was the LARGEST baby ever born in the country of Indonesia. So just how big was he?
At the time of his birth, which required a C-section delivery, the boy was more than TWO FEET long, and weighed 19.2 POUNDS.
ODD RESTAURANT NAMES...

OLD SCHOOL BEEF: IT'S OFF!
DMX and JA RULE have NEVER gotten along. It's not exactly clear WHY they had beef...although, since it involves DMX, I'm sure it's a fascinating story.
But that all came to an end on Wednesday night at the taping of this year's "VH1 Hip-Hop Honors". (It'll air on October 13th at 9:00 P.M.)
They posed for several pictures together...and afterwards, X's manager told AllHipHop.com, quote, "[DMX] has a new attitude, a new team. He looks good and [now] he is squashing beefs. [And] his performances are breathtaking."
So is his rap sheet. It's incredible...and I love linking to it. Sadly, "The Phoenix New Times" hasn't updated this thing in over a year now. You cannot slack off when you're covering DMX's legal shenanigans!!!

Naturally, you can find the rest at Wikipedia. I love DMX.

Other rappers took notice of this new peace treaty. LUDACRIS posted a message on Twitter...saying, quote, "Great to see DMX and Ja Rule squash their beef after all this time. 'VH1 Hip-Hop Honors'...a historic night indeed."
