Leonard Nimoy will appear in new Star Trek Movie. Take that Shatner!

There were rumors floating around in the past that Leonard Nimoy had signed on to appear in the new Star Trek movie. The reports also whispered that William Shatner was miffed that he was overlooked & Nimoy was stealing his thunder. Well it appears that Nimoy is indeed going to make an appearance....
EntertainmentWise:
Leonard Nimoy has confirmed his returning as Mr Spock for the new Star Trek movie.
The 76-year-old is coming out of retirement to play the iconic Vulcan in Star Trek XI, joking, “People have been asking me why I’m doing this movie. I think the answer is obvious. We have a great director and a wonderful script. It was logical.”
The new JJ Abrams picture will feature Spock and Captain Kirk returning to their younger selves, with the young Spock played by newcomer Zachary Quinto, reports The Sun.

Kelly Clarkson gives in. She plans on having Davis guide her next album's direction.

Kelly Clarkson will be having Clive Davis guide the direction of her next CD. After all the turmoil over "My December", it appears that there will be a lot of smiles and holding hands for her next release.....
Fox:
Kelly Clarkson gets the picture, finally.
There was no bucking the system, and no going against Clive Davis. Sources tell me that Clarkson has agreed, through her wise new manager Narvel Blackstock, to make a pop album for release in 2008 with songs selected by Davis and his team.
Clarkson's acquiescence comes at the end of a long melodrama concerning her current, turgid album "My December," which features a lot of ragged self-penned songs by Clarkson about a relationship gone sour.
Davis didn't like the album, considering it was the follow up to Clarkson's multimillion selling "Breakaway." But he released it, and Clarkson responded by dissing him and then apologizing earlier this week.
In the meantime, "My December" is sort of free-floating away now, and will probably sell a respectable 850,000 copies in the U.S. and maybe the same worldwide.

Rachel McAdams new ring has people buzzing about engagement to Ryan Gosling.

I adore Rachel McAdams. "Mean Girls", "The Notebook", "Red Eye" are great flicks. Looks like Rachel may be officially off the market soon. She's been sporting a new ring that has speculation running rampant that she's engaged to her "Notebook" sweetie Ryan Gosling. Am I invited to the wedding?.....
CTV:
Could Rachel Adams be engaged to longtime beau Ryan Gosling? eTalk has pictures of the Canadian actress at the Four Season Hotel in Toronto Wednesday, with a ring on her left hand.
Rachel McAdams, 30, who was raised in St. Thomas, Ontario, is in the city prepping for her next film, "The Time Traveler's Wife," co-starring Eric Bana.
eTalk snapped her during a lunch meeting at the Four Seasons. As she prepared to bike away, a ring was spotted on her left hand.
McAdams met Gosling during the filming of their 2004 movie, "The Notebook." They won the MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss in 2005, which they re-enacted on stage at the awards show.

Reiko to fight Aliens & Predators.

Reiko Ayelsworth was always a favorite of mine on "24". I was curious as to her future projects & found that she has a couple of films in the works. One is a sequel to "Alien vs. Predator". The first was a guilty pleasure. Reiko's casting for the second assures the fact that I'll be in the crowd for the second....

If you look at Lauryn Hill, she will attack you with water bottles.

Lauryn Hill is Madonna like. (Kind of). Instead of demanding that people look her directly in the eye like Madonna, she demands that they not make eye contact. She also is trying the "Don't speak to me unless I speak first" shtick.....sigh.
Exposay:
Lauryn Hill is not winning any new fans.
The former Fugee has been putting in some questionable performances around the world and is now taking her bad behavior off stage.
The singer has reportedly made some crazy demands of her entourage while in Norway. According to reports, Lauryn demanded that all of her bodyguards be black, not make eye contact with her and no one could speak to her unless spoken to first.
One gusty security guard broke the rules and looked at the star and allegedly Lauryn started throwing water bottles at him.
At the beginning of July, crowds of people walked out of her London gig before of a bad performance filled with out-of-tune vocals.

The pair were photographed leaving a French nightclub hand-in-hand at 4am – and shared the same car home.
They were also spotted holding hands the following day as they took a harbourside stroll with former-model Helena Christensen.
“Bono and Penelope looked very intimate indeed” a source told The Daily Mirror “They were very touchy feely”
“When they piled into the car together. Penelope gazed at him accordingly.”
Bono, who is married and with four children - is said to be Cruz’s 'hero' because of his devotion to charity work.The Volver star, has been romantically linked to several high profile celebrities in the past months - including actor Oliver Martinez.

Rumer Willis caught in hotel room with drug arrest. Is she the next Lindsay?

Demi!!!! Bruce!!!! Get your daughter Rumer in boot camp immediately! It looks like she may be on the fast track to "Lindsay Lohan Town"...
People:
Rumer Willis, daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, was in a Maryland hotel room where police arrested a man on drug charges, Access Hollywood reports. Willis, 18, was one of four people in the room at the La Quinta hotel, located in Aberdeen, where she is shooting the independent film From Within. Willis reportedly was not arrested. However, another individual was taken into custody on charges of marijuana possession, authorities tell Access. Police were called to the hotel after others complained about noise, according to the show. Reps for both Bruce Willis and Demi Moore have no comment.

Phil Collins says Gensis tour is a pain in the arse.

Another favorite of mine, Phil Collins is weeping about his job. He regrets reuniting with Genesis? He's sad that he's spending time away from his kids? Oh for the love of God. The guy has been a professional musician for around 35 years now. If anyone knows what a tour is going to be like, it's him. And he's crying about family? Please. This coming from a guy who divorced one wife by fax and told Jay Leno years ago that his kids can watch him on TV when he's away.......
Female First:
Rocker Phil Collins regrets agreeing to reunite with Genesis, because the comeback tour has kept him away from his two young sons.
The singer has split with his third wife Orianne Cevey since agreeing to reform the band - and he hates the way the tour has left him thousands of miles away from Switzerland, where Cevey lives with their children Nicholas and Matthew.
He tells Mojo, "I'm not interested. My life is in turmoil. Frankly, at the moment I am living for my two little boys, so this tour is actually a pain in the arse because I'm away from home. I've been trying to keep it short.
"Every time somebody said we could pay for the tour if we do another four dates, I said no. I signed on to buy a blue suit: I don't want to end up with a red one."

All is well with Pitt and Jolie. Or is it?

Brad Pitt's publicist says that things are fine with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Of course that's the kiss of death.....
EntertainmentWise:
Brad Pitt's publicist has denied reports that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have taken a trip to splitsville. Rumours of a Brangelina split came after Brad's secret meeting with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston. According to sources the pair met for a public lunch where Pitt introduced her to daughter Shiloh. Angie, who was unaware of the meeting, was reportedly fuming after the pair met and threatened to leave the Oceans Thirteen star. More recent reports claim that Jolie fears that her current health problems will end up driving Brad Pitt away.
According to Jolie the pair want another child together but she is too thin to fall pregnant safely.
However Pitt's publicist has since quashed any rumours of a split, telling US magazine;
“They are together on vacation and all is well.”

The Hoff says drunken video gave him closure.

The Hoff credits the infamous drunken video that his daughter taped of him as giving him closure to a troubled part of his life. Just remember, do not mess with the Hoff!
IOL:
"I guess that is a good word for it (the response to the video) - nonsense."It was really nonsensical and none of that needed to happen. But in the end, you know, I tried to find a reason for it all and I found that reason. And that reason was that everything had to come to some sort of closure to move on. That has helped."It hasn't been easy for me or my children, or my ex, but it was life is about."

Will Scarlett Johansson let me move into one of her seven bathrooms?

Hi Scarlett, it's Geno. I hear that you just purchased a mansion for $8 million. The mansion has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms? Cool. I don't expect you to let me move into one of the bedrooms, after all I don't want to intrude too much. But I'll be glad to move into one of the bathrooms. I'll be your bathroom attendant in exchange for free lodging and free Pepsi and Hostess cupcakes. Deal?
Star Pulse:
Actress Scarlett Johansson has splashed out $8 million on a mansion in the Hollywood Hills. The Lost In Translation beauty, 22, bought the spacious property from movie maker Harold Becker, and the house boasts seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
A source says, "It's a gigantic property. The place spans over 4.352 square feet."

Cure Lindsay Lohan game.

This didn't take long. Lindsay Lohan has inspired a new "Cure Lohan" game: Daily Free Games

Evangeline Lilly complains about fame, living in Hawaii, working on Sundays and Lost.

I love "Lost". I love Evangeline Lilly on "Lost". I hate reading Lilly whine and whine every interview I read with her.

On fame: There's a lot of things that I set in place from day one that I set up as barriers to keep the world out of my private life," she says. "I had never been interested in or enamoured by fame ... When I decided to take the job, that was my biggest apprehension. I was not willing to give up my privacy to become this form of artist. I have no regrets, but should another series come along that is a huge hit that will continue to launch me into the public eye, I would say 'no'."

On living in Hawaii:Meantime, Lilly admits she struggled to adjust to life in Hawaii. "I hated living there for the first two years."

On "Lost": Lilly says although all of the cast lives in Hawaii, she can go for months without seeing other headline cast members because of Lost's challenging third-season plot device in which the cast is frequently separated into isolated storylines.
"There has been huge unrest, dissatisfaction and frustration from the cast about that," she admits.
"There was a sense of 'I don't understand what sort of show I am on any more.' It didn't feel like the same show, and I think the audience felt the same way."

On filming sex scenes and working on Sundays: Several elements of Lilly's role (such as a recent sex scene with Sawyer) have conflicted with her conservative upbringing.
"I was brought up in a household where I was not allowed to take the Lord's name in vain," she says.
"There's been lots of adjustments to make - like working on Sunday, always the Sabbath for me - or the issue of modesty that comes when you're standing in the water in your underwear. You have to make your own peace and understand your limits."

Oh God......be quiet!!!!

Kate Moss moves in with Ron Wood. Is she the 5th Rolling Stone?

Former party mates, Kate Moss and Ron Wood are living together....with his wife. Oh to be a fly on the wall.....
Exposay:
Kate Moss has moved in with Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood to help her get over her split from Pete Doherty.
The 33-year-old supermodel - who dumped the Babyshambles frontman earlier this month - is reportedly enjoying some "quiet time" with the rocker, a recovering alcoholic, and his wife Jo at their Surrey mansion in Kingston.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Ronnie and Kate have a history of partying together so it's unusual that they are having some quiet time."
"Kate is washing her hair of Pete, and Ronnie and his wife Jo have been taking her mind off things. He's on the wagon and that is great for her."

Nicole Richie to whine to Diane Sawyer.

Madonna gets angry when son is called "Lucky Bastard".

Madonna was probably being protective when she got mad at a crew member for calling her son "Lucky Bastard".....But the guy was kinda right. I'd like to be adopted by Madonna. She could even talk to me in her fake Britsh accent....
EntertainmentWise:
Filming for her new movie took a turn for the worst as Madonna had very stern words with some crew members who took a nasty swipe at her Malawian adopted son David.
The Material Girl had decided to bring David on set with her as she was filming a movie written and directed by her husband Guy Ritchie.
Unfortunately she heard a conversation between two of the crew. One of the pair asked what the babies name was, to which the reply was “Lucky Bastard.”
A source on set told the Daily Mirror: “Madonna looked astonished by what was said and words were exchanged between them. Madge seemed very protective of her son and didn’t want anyone talking of him in such a manner.
“At the end of the day, she’s just a mum and doesn’t want anyone speaking ill of her family. She looked very hurt and shocked by the comment and let her feelings be made known.”
The culprit of the harsh words is no longer working on set. We doubt they’ll be getting another job soon.

An open letter to newly single Jessica Alba.

Hi Jessica, it's me Geno. I'm sure you remember meeting me on the streets of New York a year ago. I was the good looking guy who saw you on the street and caught your attention by saying "Jessica! My like today cookie when program on and look wooooooooo" You have to forgive me, I was a bit taken back by seeing you in person. I know it didn't make much sense. In any case, I see that you've broken up with your boyfriend Cash Warren. Give me a chance Jess. I'm obviously well spoken and I have the body of a Greek God......

US:

After two-and-a-half years together, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have split. The 26-year-old actress broke up with Warren, a 28-year-old producer, last week over the phone, sources tell Usmagazine.com.
Sources tell Us that Alba, who was abroad over the weekend promoting Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, called Warren on July 22 and told him, "I'm not in love with you anymore."
Within hours, Alba had dispatched an assistant to the L.A. home they shared to pack up Warren's belongings and move him out.

More evidence that Paula Abdul is bonkers.

Are you watching "Hey Paula" on Bravo? If you're not, you MUST give the show a chance. The rating are low, but the show shows Paula Abdul in all her insane glory. She's completely bananas. I wonder why she lets this stuff go on air???????
Page six:
PAULA Abdul was fired via e-mail from the live-action movie "Bratz," as a TV camera re corded her tearful reaction. On this week's episode of "Hey Paula," Abdul's self-aggrandizing reality show on Bravo, the loopy "American Idol" judge is shown crying after she receives a mes sage from real "Bratz" producers telling her that her services are no longer wanted. She had claimed she was the film's choreographer, costume designer and executive producer. The episode shows perma-victim Abdul screaming, "How can they treat me this way?" Our source said, "Paula was not ever really a part of the movie, and she was a night mare to deal with. There was no way that was going to work." A rep for Lionsgate said, "We love Paula, and we were sorry the partnership wasn't able to come together." While Abdul didn't make the cut, there's still a Paula featured in the movie: Page Six's Paula Froelich, who makes her big-screen debut as a judge. "Bratz" hits theaters on Aug. 3.

Kiss drummer gets mellow for new CD.

Former Kiss drummer, Peter Criss sang "Beth", which is one of my all time favorite tunes. He's back with a new CD "One For All" that's getting quite a bit of good buzz. Peter's official site has all the info you'll need.
StarPulse:
Now 61 and about to become a grandfather, the jungle cat has become more of a house pet, with a solo album full of heartfelt ballads, ''One For All,'' coming out Tuesday.
Many of his songs deal with the pain of the breakups he's endured.
''I sing about the band, I sing about the good times, the bad times,'' Criss said in an interview. ''I'm re-creating me to be comfortable with me again. This is about what I've really felt. I tore a lot out of my heart to get to this.''

Jennifer Love Hewitt is #1.....on worst album list.

Poor Jennifer Love Hewitt. She's have a tough week. First Geno's World learned that the star is affectionately called "Hippo Hips" behind her back on her set (link). Now she tops the list of worst albums done by celebrities. I have to disagree. She can sing & her songs are decent enough......
ContactMusic:
JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT has topped a new shame list of actor and actresses who record albums. The movie star's five albums land her at the number one spot on King magazine's Worst Celebrity Albums poll. Supermodel Naomi Campbell comes in second with her Baby Woman effort and Jamie-Lynn Sigler's Here To Heaven is named the third worst album. Also featured in the top 10, are David Hasselhoff, Jada Pinkett Smith and Eddie Murphy.

Cameron Diaz watched Indiana Jones twice a day to get her Harrison Ford fix.

Cameron Diaz had a thing for Harrison Ford. In her past, Cameron used to watch "Raiders of The Ark" twice a day. (Hey Harrison, I'm sure it's not too late to call Cameron....)
Exposay:
Cameron Diaz once had a crush on Harrison Ford.
The 34-year-old actress was so obsessed with Harrison's Indiana Jones character she used to watch 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', the second movie in the adventure series, twice a day.
She said: "When I was younger, that's how I thought people lived their lives - traveling and having adventures. I'd watch it all the time."
Cameron has now got over her obsession with the 65-year-old actress, who is dating 'Brothers and Sisters' star Calista Flockhart, but is still looking forward to the fourth Indiana Jones film. She said: "I can't wait."

Penelope Cruz L'Oreal ad called a sham.

Is there no truth in advertising? Apparently not. A L'Oreal ad for mascara featuring Penelope Cruz had her wearing false eyelashes. The horror!!!!!
EntertainmentWise:
A mascara commercial for L’Oreal featuring Penelope Cruz has been branded misleading because the actress was wearing fake eyelashes.
The L'Oreal ‘Telescopic’ mascara claimed that it could make lashes up to 60 per cent longer.However the Advertising Standards Authority has hit out saying that the commercial did not make clear that Cruz was sporting some individual fake eyelashes.
L’Oreal said it was “common industry practice” to use artificial lashes, but said it would “fully comply” with the requirements that the ASA have indicated for future advertising purposes.
Take our advice L’Oreal - False advertising is not worth it

"24" to be more environmentally friendly.

Fox has announced that "24" will be taking steps to promote environmentally friendly issue. The show will strive to be the first program to "save enough energy and reduce enough carbon emissions over the course of a season to render its entire seventh season finale “carbon neutral.”..Ummm. That's all well & good. But work on the quality of the show. Everyone is hoping that season 7 won't be a dud like season 6. Being smart about the environment is nice, but are we going to see Jack riding horses instead of Ford SUVs? Is Al Gore going to make guest appearances? Oh God. Please no............

World Screen:

The Emmy-Award winning FOX series 24 has announced that it will make significant environmentally-friendly changes to its production practices during the seventh season in an effort to educate and inspire its viewers to take climate change and the fight against global warming seriously.

Has Paris turned the page?

If Paris Hilton needed another wake up call, Lindsay Lohan provided it this morning. In any event, Paris is fulfilling her promise to do charity work. Is she being fake? Maybe, but as long as good charities get attention, it's all good....
People:
Paris Hilton is starting to make good on her post-jail promises to help others, turning out at a friend's charity gala to raise funds for children with spinal cord injuries. "It's a great organization," Hilton told PEOPLE at Sunday's Life Rolls On Foundation's 4th annual Night By the Ocean auction. "It gives people hope and I'm really happy to be here to support Jesse." Hilton's close friend Jesse Billauer, a former pro surfer who is now paralyzed, founded Life Rolls On. The heiress bid on (and won) a $17, 500 surfing lesson with Billauer and Adam Sandler. Even Hilton's black-and-white dress was a bit of a charity case, created by 19-year old fashion student she met when he helped pump her gas.

Evan Rachel Wood's PR firm takes my call, but will not answer pregnancy question directly.

I have sent e-mails and made phone calls to Evan's PR people who haven't responded. This afternoon, I reached a woman in the office who said she would have to call me back regarding Evan's situation. Is she? Isn't she? A simple answer will suffice. The avoidance and mystery is making me very suspicious.......

Gwyneth Paltrow rejected for movie role because she's too old.

Is Gwyneth Paltrow too old to play a magazine intern? The director of "Love & Other Disasters" thinks so. Who's her replacement? Britney Murphy? Oh that young whippersnapper.....
Star Pulse:
Brittany Murphy replaced Gwyneth Paltrow in new movie Love & Other Disasters because, by the time writer/director Alek Keshishian had completed the script, the Oscar winner was too old to play a Vogue magazine intern.
Keshishian started writing the film 10 years ago with Paltrow in mind, but she has since become a mum of two - and he felt he had to recast the role.
He says, "She was just too old for the role. The character is supposed to be a young girl."
Ironically, at 29, Murphy is just five years younger than Paltrow. However, Paltrow did manage to secure a cameo in the film

Hillary Duff makes a 9 year old girl cry.

Damn that Hillary Duff! She's evil! Evil I say!!!!!!!!!!!! What's next, is she going to kick a cute puppy or steal a dollar from a homeless guy?
NY Daily News:
There were tears in Texas last week after Hilary Duff was accosted by some young fans. A spy says Duff, her sister Haylie and their parents were enjoying a quiet dinner in low-key Richmond last Wednesday.
But when word got out that the famous singer was at Pier 36 Seafood and Oyster bar, two 9-year-old girls arrived carrying posters and T-shirts and hoping for autographs.
"On their way out, the owner asked if Hilary would sign a menu for her daughter and she did," says an insider.
But when the youngsters approached, the source says, "[Hilary] said, 'I don't really get to spend a lot of time with my family; sorry' and walked out the door.
"She made one of the little girls cry."
Aww!
Hilary Duff was traveling yesterday and could not be contacted.

David Ortiz sued for $1 million.

I love "Big Papi" David Ortiz! Apparently a sports memorabilia company isn't as big a fan....
Yahoo:
A sports memorabilia company sued Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz for $1 million Friday, claiming he breached a contract by failing to autograph a required number of items and appear at "meet-and-greet" events.
Steiner Sports Marketing Inc. of New Rochelle, N.Y., said the company signed Ortiz to a contract to autograph 13,000 items, appear at public signing events, and to do these things exclusively for Steiner until Jan. 31, 2008.
"Ortiz has constantly remained substantially below the amount of memorabilia items required to be signed under the agreement," according to the lawsuit filed in Manhattan's state Supreme Court.
Steiner claims that Ortiz skipped several scheduled public appearances, and when he did show up, he didn't autograph the minimum amount of memorabilia required by the contract.
Ortiz also violated the exclusivity clause of their agreement by providing at least four other companies with autographed memorabilia and game-used items, diluting the value of items provided to Steiner, the suit claims.
The lawsuit asks for $1 million plus interest and an accounting of Ortiz' dealings with memorabilia companies in which he received money for autographs and used items.
Ortiz' agent, SFX Baseball Group LLC, did not immediately return calls.

Penthouse & Playboy model calls Marcus Allen "Creepy and scary".

Is Marcus Allen a creepy dude like his buddy O.J. Simpson? Or is Kimberly Stewart trying to get attention from the media? You decide....
Page Six:
KIMBERLY Williams, the June 2007 Penthouse Pet, has never met football legend Marcus Allen - and she wants to keep it that way. After talking on the phone for a few weeks, "he seemed like a really nice guy. But . . . I quickly found out that this is not a guy I want to know," the pin-up told Steppin' Out magazine's Chauncé Hayden. Kimberly was creeped out that Allen is a regular at the Playboy Mansion, and that his MySpace page is filled with girlfriends thanking him for "lunch." "So I started to pull away from him just to protect myself. But he calls me over 15 times a day! . . . He started to send me these terrible text messages. 'Where the hell are you, Kimberly!' . . . It's really scary . . . Things got really bad after I did the Howard Stern show. He got very upset that I got nude on the show. Hello! I'm a Penthouse Pet . . . I told him he needed to calm down . . . But he got even angrier." Allen's lawyer, Larry Stein, told Page Six: "It's the other way around. She's the one pursuing him. She started sending him pictures of herself with no clothes on. She's trying to get publicity."

EntertainmentWise:
Lindsay Lohan is reportedly so confident that she can lure David Beckham away from wife Victoria that she has a £25,000 bet with her mates that she can bed the LA Galaxy star.
As far as the man-eating ‘actress’ is concerned, former squeeze Calum Best is old news now that the Beckhams have arrived on US shores.
A source tells The Sun, “Lindsay and her pals have been talking about the Beckhams’ arrival non-stop. They all reckon David is gorgeous and Lindsay set the challenge to get stuck in.
“The rich girls all want to meet Becks.”
Only time will tell whether Lindsay has more luck seducing Becks than Paris had befriending Posh.
The former Spice Girl is said to have replied “Over my dead body” when she learnt that the heiress wanted to be pals.

Jennifer Love Hewitt called "Hippo Hips" on set.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is gorgeous and a genuinely nice person. She's loved by the crew of her "Ghost Whisperer" show. But that doesn't stop some of the crew having some fun at her expense. Affectionately known as "Hippo Hips", behind her back, Love isn't immune from fun being poked at her. "Love is aware that she doesn't have the body of a teen anymore and she very self conscious about her expanding lower half. The costume designers are aware of her concerns and make sure that she's usually outfitted in flowing gowns or concealing dresses for the tapings" a crew member told "Geno's World".

Kelly Clarkson sinks even deeper.

In the past, we could count on Kelly Clarkson for speaking her mind. Now that her "My December" is sinking and her record company isn't throwing any $$ behind her, Kelly throws out a half baked apology to Clive Davis and blames the media. That's just sad Kelly....
US:
Kelly Clarkson is singing a new tune about her ongoing battle with RCA honcho Clive Davis.
Clarkson, 25, clashed with Davis when he didn't like some of the tracks on her latest disc My December. She was quoted in the August issue of Blender saying, "'I get you don't like my album. You're 80; you're not supposed to.'"
But in a statement posted today on her website, the singer, 25, says, "A lot has been made in the press about my relationship with Clive. Much of this has been blown way out of proportion and taken out of context.
She continues, "I'm well aware that Clive is one of the great record men of all time. He has been a key advisor and has been an important force in my success to date. He has also given me respect by releasing my new album when he was not obligated to do so.
"I really regret how everything has turned out and I apologize to those whom I have done disservice," she adds. "I would never intentionally hurt anyone. I love music, and I love the people I am blessed to work with. I am happy that my team is behind me and I look forward to the future."
