OMG, this is GREAT news for all of you Britney fans!!! Here is the article:
A new Britney Spears track, "Gimme More," is expected to hit the airwaves next week, according to sources at Jive Records. The up-tempo cut, produced by Timbaland right-hand-man Nate "Danjahandz" Hills, will appear on Spears' new album, but sources say it has yet to be decided whether it will be the official lead single or simply a setup track.Source
Spears is known to have worked with J.R. Rotem and Sean Garrett on as-yet-unnamed tracks. "I've got this one record I've been holding for 10 months that everyone has tried to buy, but I stayed with Britney on it," Garrett told Billboard in late June. "I guarantee it will shake up the world. It's uptempo, out of control ... it's wowzers, produced by me and Bloodshy."
In the past year, Spears' personal travails have far overshadowed her music career. But she is rumored to be making an appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards next month in Las Vegas, where she has previously made headlines by kissing Madonna and performing with a giant snake draped across her body.
Wow... take a look at this...
Akon, hip-hop singer and amateur concertgoer tosser, is singing a new tune -- "Sorry, Blame It On Me" -- where he offers apologies for his recent troublesome events -- including lewd dancing at a club in Trinidad with a 14-year-old pastor's daughter, and causing Verizon to dump their sponsorship of Gwen Stefani's tour, reportedly because of Akon's shenanigans. Someone's had a busy summer!
TMZ inside sources reveal that Akon did not pen the song. Say what?! It seems DJ and producer Clinton Sparks actually wrote the entire ballad -- even though his credit is listed as co-writer and producer. Sparks will fly!
This leaves many wondering if Akon's apology is more of a publicity stunt to capitalize on his bad decisions. An insincere apology? From a man who allegedly practices polygamy? Say it ain't so!

Wow! I never thought I'd actually see a real live performance on The Disney Channel! I actually enjoyed this video, so I hope you will , too. It is also a good chance to catch a glimpse at what the Cheetah Girls will be like without Raven.
Even though this isn't much about music, it's about a show who's main character is a singer (and had the #2 album last week!) so here:
Yesterday, comedy writer Buddy Sheffield filed a lawsuit alleging the Walt Disney Co. stole the idea of Hannah Montana from him without proper compensation.Sheffield, whose last writing credit was in 1998 for a show called Cheap Theatrix, has filed charges of breach of contract, breach of confidence, unfair competition and unjust enrichment. Translation: show me the money.
According to the lawsuit, the former In Living Color writer pitched a show called Rock and Roland in 2001 about a teen-by-day-star-by-night middle schooler. Sound familiar?
Maybe Disney did rip the idea from this writer, which sometimes happens when studios like the idea and not the people pitching it, but more than likely this is another case of someone trying to make some money.
When something, anything becomes financially successful, people come out of the woodwork to claim partial ownership. Last year two Missouri men claimed that Prison Break was based on their lives. Last month Mark Zuckerberg was sued for stealing the idea and coding for Facebook. Tomorrow I will be sued for stealing this post.

Here is some news on the runner-up of last year's American Idol, Blake Lewis!
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Blake Lewis, the popular runner-up on the sixth season of "American Idol," has been signed to 19 Recordings / ARISTA Records and is already working on his debut album with a stellar line-up of producers and songwriters. The album is due for release in late 2007.
"Blake has a strong music sensibility and knows who he is and what his music should represent." Says Clive Davis, Chairman CEO BMG Label Group "His collaborators are all knocked out by him."
Among the producers working with Lewis on his first album are Jonathan "JR" Rotem, who has worked with Rihanna (on her No. 1 single "SOS") and Sean Kingston; Ryan "Alias" Tedder, who has worked with Timbaland and new artist Leona Lewis; and S*A*M & Sluggo, who have worked with two of the year's biggest new artists, Gym Class Heroes and Boys Like Girls.
Lewis, who has already charted on The Billboard Hot 100 with his versions of Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name" and the Zombies' "Time of the Season," has been finding time to go into the studio to work on his first album while touring the United States and Canada on the "American Idols Live" tour. The tour began in Sunrise, Florida on July 6 and continues through a Sept. 22 concert in Manchester, New Hampshire.
"I love performing, so spending the summer on the road has been a great experience," says Lewis. "But I'm also enjoying my time in the studio and I'm very excited about recording my debut album. I'm thrilled to be working with 19 Recordings and ARISTA Records"
The 26-year-old singer was born in Redmond, Washington. He started singing at age five and competed in statewide talent contests while in high school. He became a beat-boxer at 17, inspired by the then Seattle-based a cappella group M-Pact. Lewis was a member of the Pacific Northwest a cappella group Kickshaw for four years. He also recorded several music videos and wrote a number of original songs.
"Blake is one of the most unique 'Idol' contestants I've ever seen," says Simon Fuller, creator of the popular TV series and chief executive and founder of 19 Entertainment Label Group "He brought something new to the competition and won fans all over America. I know they're going to love his first album, because it shows him off as his very best.
In case you haven't heard, here is something from TV Guide.
As Disney Channel's High School Musical 2 continues to rack up ratings — in addition to the record 17.2 million who caught Friday's premiere, 8.4 mil tuned in for Saturday's rerun and 7.5 mil crooned in for Sunday's sing-along — talk continues of a feature-film adaptation of the original. Stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, though, may not be available, if only because Disney is "only offering them $1 million each," a source tells the New York Post. A studio rep responds, "We are still in negotiations with the entire cast," but declined to comment further on the talks.
Disney has just announced that they'll release the set on Dec. 11. This is the extended edition, running 111 minutes and including a never-before-seen music sequence, rehearsal footage and music videos. You can sing lead vocals with "High School Karaoke!"
My poll of the moment, which has the question:
Which CD would you rather buy on September 11th?
The answers are either Kanye West's CD or 50 Cent's CD. The poll is located on the sidebar. The current results are:
Kanye West: 53%
50 Cent: 47%
Voting ends tomorrow, so keep voting!
(Even though she, sadly, doesn't look like this anymore)
After breaking ratings records last Friday with 'High School Musical 2', The Insider confirms that the popular Disney movie is now making its way to a theater near you!
The big-screen flick will focus on the key characters in their Senior year of high school. While the principal cast members are currently in talks to reprise their roles for the silver screen, the script is being written by original scribe PETER BARSOCCHINI and the original producers and director are also on board.Source: The Insider Online

So here is some numbers that HSM2 recorded both on TV and in the music industry.
TV:
Execs at Disney Channel knew it would be huge -- but not quite this record-setting massive.Source: VarietyThe Friday preem of Disney Channel's "High School Musical 2" brought in an astounding 17.24 million viewers, making it the most watched basic cable telecast ever, including sports telecasts, Disney Channel said Saturday.
"HSM2" tuner now ranks as the most-watched TV movie ever with kids 6-11, drawing 6.1 million viewers in that demo, and the most-watched ever with tweeners 9-14, drawing 5.9 million viewers in that demo, according to Disney Channel.
In total households, pic drew a massive 9.4 million cable homes, putting the telecast behind only a handful of sports and news telecasts in cable history in total households deliver. The high total viewer tally also indicates that pic was a family viewing event in most of those 9.4 million households.
Charles Gibson reported tonight on ABC World News that the HSM2 Soundtrack has already sold over 500,000 copies after four days of sales...at this rate we can expect 800k for first week sales and Platinum status after two...Source: ATRL
