Britney Spears takes the December 11 cover of Rolling Stone magazine. USA Today released a couple of snippets from her interview. In a comment about her two sons Sean and Jayden, she also took a dig at her ex husband Kevin Federline saying “Every time they come to visit me, I think about how they’re such special people. But they are starting to learn words like ‘stupid’ and Preston says the f-word now sometimes. He doesn’t get it from us. He must get it from his daddy. I say it, but not around my kids.”

Madonna is on the cover of the May 2008 Green issue of Vanity Fair. Along with the cover feature is an interview. She talks about adopting her son David from Malawi, the birth of her daughter Lourdes putting her on the road that ended in Malawi and even her favorite children’s books. Basically, she talks about anything and everything under the sun except for her upcoming album ‘Hard Candy’ and that’s coming out by the end of April! Aside from releasing her single ‘4 Minutes (To Save the World)’ which features Justin Timberlake, she’s hardly done anything to promote her album. But considering she’s been on the covers of countless magazines within 3 months, I guess that’s enough hype for her.

Forget Elle and Vanity Fair! The winner of the cover wars is British magazine Dazed & Confused as they are the first publication to get the Queen of Pop Madonna on a new cover and the pictures are said to be just as racy as the ones she did for the other two. If the cover is anything to go by, the results are fantastic! For Dazed & Confused, Madonna teamed up with longtime collaborator Steven Klein. Three magazines, three shoots, three photographers, one theme. Madonna has already begun the media onslaught to promote her upcoming album ‘Hard Candy’ which will be out on April 29.

They’re the cutest thing in the music industry and a lot of people are wishing to corrupt them but alas, the Jonas Brothers will remain pure. Kevin, Joe and Nick all apparently practice abstinence and wear purity rings to prove it. Details Magazine covered the story with a very lengthy article.

The trio wear metal silver bands each tied with a promise that they’ll stay pure until marriage. 15-year old Nick’s ring was made at Disney World. 15-year old Joe’s ring is silver and is adorned with a cross. 20-year old Kevin’s ring is the ultimate oxymoron. He has a punk-rock purity ring from Tiffany as it’s covered with studs.

Grammy-winning country singer, who hasn’t scored a hit lately, LeAnn Rimes puts her best abs on display in a bikini shot on the latest cover of Fitness magazine. Can I just say wow?! She may not be making some good music these days but boy does she have a rocking body!

In an accompanying article, LeAnn revealed the tunes that keep her pumped up as she does her workouts. Her list includes Kanye West’s ‘Stronger’, the Foo Fighters’ ‘The Pretender’, Audioslave’s ‘Broken City’, Nine Inch Nails’ ‘Hurt’, the soundtrack from ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and a few selections from David Gray. That’s some eclectic mix.

Parents who shelled out hundreds of dollars for their girls to see Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus are in an uproar over a possible Miley/Hannah imposter.

According to concert goers, there is a point in the show where Hannah Montana is surrounded by her dancers and then covered with a black sheet. She then slips out a stage door and reenters through a different door. Thing is, it isn’t the real Hannah Montana that comes back.

Instead, according to OK! magazine, a body double comes in while Miley does a costume change. Many who paid high dollar for the concert are upset because they believe they were taken advantage of and treated like fools.

Hannah Montana may lose some fanas.

Leona Lewis is on the cover of the February issue of Harper’s UK and she is looking mighty fine! She deserves the front cover of a big magazine because the X-Factor champ’s debut album ‘Spirit’ was one of the top three selling albums of the year in the UK for 2007. The other two favorites were Mika and Amy Winehouse.

Leona is also set to take over the other side of the pond as her album is finally coming out within the next couple of months in the US. Harper’s was bold enough to say that “She’ll break the States without breaking a sweat.” I say, good luck to you Leona!

Fall Out Boy got a total of zero Grammy nominations on Thursday mor

ning and come night time, bassist Pete Wentz showed just how much of a sore loser he was when he pitched a fit at the People magazine Grammy kick off party. Pete continues to be a sourpuss when he made a post on the band’s official blog.

In the blog titled “got bitterness? vs. a revelation on true connection (and the award goes to)” Pete reveals just how he felt about the lack of nominations but yet being asked to appear and even perform for a kick off party.

But apart from bitterness, Pete actually has a great point about relevance and acceptance in there. It’s a good read.
