Demi Lovato Video Message To Fans Coming Monday

Posted on March 4, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Singer, who left treatment in January, will speak via Cambio.com. By Jocelyn Vena Demi Lovato Photo: Jason LaVeris/ FilmMagic Demi Lovato has remained on the down low since leaving a treatment facility in late January. Fans have been wondering what is next for the Disney star, and now it seems they will find out. According to Cambio.com , the singer will appear on the site Monday in “a special video message to all her fans.” “This will be the first time since leaving treatment that Demi will speak directly to her fans to thank them for their support,” the statement reads. “Demi is excited to be getting back to work and reuniting with her fans around the world.” The news comes on the heels of an interview in which her “Sonny With a Chance” co-star Brandon Mychal Smith confirmed that the show’s name was set to be changed to “So Random,” the name of the show the characters in “Sonny” work on. “With a show like ours, each season you focus on a different concept, a different theory, or maybe a different character’s background,” Smith said. “Season one, we established who we were — you saw some mini-sketches, you saw who the characters were and how they mingled and intertwined. Season two, you were able to see more of the relationship between Sonny and Chad and how they got into it and how we didn’t like it, and you saw some of Mackenzie Falls and that aspect. “And now, this season,” he continued, “you’ll be able to see ‘So Random,’ see why we are where we are today in regards to being the teen idols that we are. You’ll be able to see how we bring the funny every week.” With questions about what that means for Lovato and her role on the show, Disney told MTV News, “Demi’s management will inform us when she is ready to return to work. Last November, we announced that we would focus on our ‘So Random’ sketch-comedy show to keep the staff, cast and crew employed. We began production in January and will debut those episodes this spring. As you know, Disney Channel previously aired ‘So Random’ specials to strong ratings.” What are you hoping to see from Demi Lovato now that she’s finished treatment? Share your thoughts below.

3Oh!3 Prepare Fans For Another Ke$ha Collaboration

Posted on April 2, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘First Kiss,’ the duo’s first song with ‘rad’ pal Ke$ha, will appear on their upcoming album. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias 3Oh!3 Photo: MTV News 3Oh!3 helped Ke$ha teach boys lessons on her hit “Blah Blah Blah.” And she’s returning the favor on the guys’ next album, Streets of Gold . “First Kiss” was recorded before Ke$ha stormed the charts with “Blah,” and it was actually the backdrop for the first meeting between the party-loving singer and the similarly celebration-happy duo. 3Oh!3’s Sean Foreman recalled how he and bandmate Nathaniel Motte were first introduced to the “Tik Tok” singer. “We were working with our buddy Benny Blanco and Dr. Luke [on ‘Kiss’], and we had a line for the song. It’s kind of a call and response, and Luke’s like, ‘I know this girl.’ We worked with her and we got a friendship since then,” he said. “She’s rad,” Motte added. “The success she had with ‘Tik Tok’ was amazing.” As of now this collaboration with Ke$ha is the only guest appearance on the album, which comes out in June. But the guys note that they’re open to inviting other artists into the studio. “It’s nice to work [with friends], like when we worked with Katy Perry [on ‘Starstrukk’],” said Foreman. Are you excited for the new 3Oh!3 album? Tell us in the comments! Related Artists 3Oh!3 Ke$ha

Ke$ha Gets Into Battle Of The Sexes With 3Oh!3 For ‘Blah Blah Blah’ Video

Posted on February 8, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘Dudes are way more annoying,’ says Ke$ha, explaining her bratty song’s message. By Jocelyn Vena Ke$ha on the set of her video “Blah Blah Blah” Photo: RCA Ke$ha makes no apologies for her brash personality, which she’s managed to channel into catchy, raucous party songs . And with her first single “Tik Tok” still pumping loudly from stereos, it’s time for Ke$ha to assault radio airwaves with her new single, “Blah Blah Blah,” off her chart-topping debut album, Animal. The up-and-comer recently shot a video for the song along with the boys of 3Oh!3 , who appear on the bratty club anthem. “The whole concept of the video was a bunch of douche-y guys macking on me as usual, and me making them eat their toupees or other various items,” she told MTV News at the shoot. “At one point, I get to be strapped to this harness and bouncing around everywhere, and it was really cool.” In the song, Ke$ha ridicules a would-be suitor for “ta-ta-talking that bla-bla-bla” when all she really wants is to have sex with him. Ke$ha explained that the dance tune originated from a discussion she had in the studio on the politics of female-male relationships. “The song came about when the people that wrote it — me, Benny Blanco, Neon Hitch and [3Oh!3’s] Sean Foreman — all got in a room, and they were talking about how chicks talk too much,” she said. “And me and Neon were like, ‘No, no, no, guys talk too much,’ ” she continued. “So, we had this war of who were more obnoxious, chicks or dudes. And the song kind of came around from that conversation. I think I make a pretty fair point both in this video and in the song, that dudes are way more annoying.” Related Artists Ke$ha
