Chris Medina Explains Why He Told Fiancee’s Story On ‘American Idol’

Posted on March 1, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I’m glad I did it, because the day after it aired, wonderful things started happening,’ he tells MTV News. By James Montgomery, with reporting by Jim Cantiello Chris Medina Photo: MTV News Last week, when Chris Medina was sent packing on “American Idol,” it was a shock to pretty much everyone — except, oddly enough, Medina himself. “I gave it my all, but, I mean, I’m in a room with 40 phenomenal singers. They all have earned their right to be there. And though I had faith in my talents, just being in that situation, you gotta have consistent, solid performances all the time, and the people there did that,” he told MTV News on Monday. “I think I had a really good first audition, a good audition in Vegas and a good audition in my last one — I sang for my life — but there were times in the middle where I was just pretty OK. And I’m not one of those people who’s delusional. I left it all on the line. … Some people had seven solid performances; I had three or four.” If that reaction seems a little strange coming from a former “Idol” contender, well, it’s probably because Medina is far from your average pop-star wannabe. Even in the face of overwhelming success, he’s remained grounded, thanks in no small part to his fianc

Justin Bieber’s 17th Birthday Bash: What Would You Plan?

Posted on March 1, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Event planners imagine what kind of party they’d throw the superstar. By Jocelyn Vena Justin Bieber Photo: Gilbert Carrasquillo/ Getty Images Justin Bieber is about to reach another milestone in his life: On Tuesday (February 29), the teen star turns 17. Already, he’s had hit albums and singles, a world tour and a successful concert documentary, so he definitely has a reason to celebrate. As he gears up for the fun, MTV News asked some party planners to weigh in on what kind of bash they would throw for the pop superstar. “I think, knowing that he’s such a fan of purple, I would create a purple Willy Wonka fantasy party,” said Bruce Starr, who works at BMF Media Group in New York. “I think we’d do it in L.A. on a studio lot and have the Oompa Loompas in purple. We’d recreate this extravagant fantasy world.” Starr said he’d have a female DJ on the decks, but also would have some musical surprises up his sleeve. “We’d have a surprise stage, and without telling him, work with his friends and have them do surprise sets for him,” he explained. “The party would have just friends and family, about 250 or 300 or 400 people tops — really intimate.” There would even be a fan element to the party. “I think we would do huge screens for all the people who couldn’t be there. We’d have surprise music videos from them, and throughout the candy land, there’d be screens with tweets from his fans,” he added. Taylor Choi, event consultant for Gansevoort Hotel Group, explained that she’d have the perfect Big Apple hot spot for the party. “For him, I would do something more fun and exciting,” she mused. “I would do more like bowling or video games, some sort of 3-D type party with more technology-type stuff for him.” So, what types of social media would that include? “A social-media kiosk where people can take photos,” she explained. “I would do karaoke and do something more fun and interactive. I would have a fun DJ and a fun live performance because a performance would be fun.” As for the venue, Choi said: “If he was in New York, I would throw it in the Gansevoort Park Avenue where we could do a 3-D installation. We can do a performance over the pool. We would deck it out for him with three floors. I’d serve cupcakes, hot dogs, burgers. “I would have like 200 of his closest friends,” she added. “I would definitely do 3-D stuff. He’d have fun with a small group of friends: private, intimate, nothing too crazy. Have his friends perform a song for him.” While it seems these planners would throw elaborate bashes for the star, Bieber recently revealed that he’s hoping for a low-key affair. “I only have, like, four days, so I’m just going to relax, because I start my world tour starting on [March 4] — so just going to mentally prepare and just relax,” Bieber explained. “No birthday bash. … Hopefully my grandparents will be out here, and I’ll be able to spend time, a little bit, with them. My grandma makes the best cheesecake — cherry cheesecake. She made that for my 13th birthday.” How do you think Justin Bieber should celebrate his 17th birthday? Tell us your ideas below!

We take a look at the parties hosted by everyone from Rihanna to 30 Seconds to Mars on Friday night. By Kara Warner Jay-Z and Chris Martin Photo: Kevin Mazur/ WireImage Ah, New Year’s Eve. A night for outlandish celebrations, noisy party favors, fireworks, countdowns, kisses and, sometimes, plain-old debauchery. The haters out there refer to December 31 as “amateur night,” referring to the common phenomenon of revelers’ tendencies to overindulge themselves with partying and adult beverages. The non-haters, however, take advantage of the holiday’s merry theme to get dressed up and attend a fancy party. Maybe even a fancy party at a nightclub, hosted by a celebrity. For those looking to possibly rub elbows with a celeb, if you live in or are heading to Miami, Las Vegas or New York, you’re in luck. The soirees hosted by famous faces are a-plenty in those towns. The biggest event in Vegas looks to be the grand opening of the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. On Thursday, Florence and the Machine will perform at the opening of the casino’s Marquee nightclub and then on Friday, New Year’s Eve, the party includes a star-studded dinner and performances by Jay-Z and Coldplay. Celeb attendees expected to start 2011 at Marquee include: Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Wahlberg, Kristin Davis, Ellen Pompeo, Rashida Jones, Kellan Lutz, Channing Tatum, Jenna Dewan, Haylie Duff, Nick Zano, James Marsden, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Tim Olyphant, Leah Remini, Tyler Perry, Abigail Spencer, Emmy Rossum, Jessica Szohr, Mark Salling and Selita Ebanks. Other celeb-hosted parties at venues on the Las Vegas Strip include a 30 Seconds to Mars performance at the Pearl Theater in the Palms Hotel and Casino; B.o.B and Bruno Mars at Jet Nightclub in the Mirage Hotel and Casino; Diddy at LAX in the Luxor; “Girls Next Door” alum Holly Madison at Lavo in the Palazzo; Jay Sean at the Bank in the Bellagio; Kim Kardashian at Tao in the Venetian; Nelly at HAZE Nightclub in ARIA Resort and Casino; and last but not least, Rihanna will be at PURE Nightclub in Caesars Palace. Miami features a similarly star-studded list of affairs. Usher, Trey Songz and Miguel will perform at the American Airlines Arena, after which Songz will head to LUX nightclub to host their festivities. Drake is hosting a party at Wall at the W South Beach, along with DJs Sinatra, Phresh and Jacomino. Porn actress-turned-“Entourage” hottie Sasha Grey is hosting a celebration at Catalina Beach Club. Leona Lewis and Natasha Bedingfield will perform at the South Beach Jam on the Sand, where streets will be closed to cars for a three-day party leading up to the Orange Bowl. Kourtney Kardashian will be at Plunge in the Gansevoort South Hotel, and Lil’ Jon will DJ and MC at Cameo nightclub, while Nicki Minaj is hosting an “All Pink Everything” shindig at Mansion with the Harajuku Barbie Dancers. And then of course in New York City, MTV will be ringing in the New Year with comedian Whitney Cummings, a performance by Flo Rida and some fist-pumping action from our very own “Jersey Shore” cast, who will premiere footage from their upcoming new season. Which celebrity would you want to spend New Year’s Eve with? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Elton John Talks About Becoming A New Parent

Posted on December 29, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘We feel so blessed and lucky,’ he tells UsMagazine.com. By Terri Schwartz Elton John Photo: Tim Boyles/Getty Images Elton John received a better Christmas present than most on Saturday when he and his husband, David Furnish, became proud parents of an adopted baby boy they named Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John. The “Benny and the Jets” singer has now spoken with UsMagazine.com about how it feels to have his longtime desire to become a father come true. “For many years we have talked about fulfilling one of our greatest wishes by becoming parents,” he said. “And now this wish has been granted to us, we feel so blessed and lucky.” While many celebrities are ringing in the New Year with engagement news , John and Furnish celebrated Christmas with the arrival of the 7-pound, 15-ounce baby, which was delivered by an unidentified surrogate. This is the first child for John, 63. A joint statement released by John and Furnish on Monday announced, “Zachary is healthy and doing well. [We are] overwhelmed with happiness and joy at this very special moment.” John and Furnish had attempted to adopt an HIV-positive 14-month-old boy from the Ukraine last year, but were prevented by government officials because of the pop icon’s age and marital status. But that didn’t turn the British singer away from his dream to become a father. He and Furnish hired a surrogate for the pregnancy, though they are keeping those details private. This may be the couple’s first child, they are no strangers when it comes to kids. John and his husband serve as godparents to a combined six children, including John Lennon’s son Sean, Elizabeth Hurley’s son Damien, and David and Victoria Beckham’s sons Brooklyn and Romeo.
