Jordan Pruitt’s upcoming third album will have a special guest: Nick Jonas. The singer released the accoustic version of ‘Don’t Lose Yourself’ (written by The Jonas Brothers) this summer on YouTube. The studio version that will be included on her future disc will include NJ on vocals. Says Pruitt:

“I have about 20 songs written so far, but I have a long way to go,” so she wrote in her MySpace. “This is my Third Album, and this is the most real thing I’ve ever written. It’s my diary put into songs. It’s my heart and soul put out there for everyone to see. It’s honest and vulnerable.”

No title or date for the album as of yet but she’s got Nick. The pair were rumored to be dating last year at this time but whatever the case, they remain close friends.

Miley Cyrus is an admirer of musician Bret Michaels. She recently put her own spin on his 80s hit ‘Every Rose Has It’s Thorn’ (from his time as lead singer of Poison.) Now Cyrus has added vocals to Michaels’ latest solo single ‘Nothing To Lose.’

Take a listen and tell us what do you think?

She’s only 20 but Taylor Swift is planning ahead. The country superstar is preparing her autobiography to be written (someday) by keeping track of her daily life so she has instant recall of all the fabulous happenings she’s a part of.

She tells Britain’s OK! magazine, “Years from now it would be cool to write a book about all the crazy stuff and the insane things I’ve gotten to do. My life moves so fast, I have to write it all down; otherwise I can’t remember where I was yesterday. I will write my biography (sic) for sure.”

Smart! Now she won’t have to rely on her memory.

Taylor Swift won Favorite Female Artist at The People’s Choice Awards held in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. Swift certainly had a much nicer time with this acceptance speech as LL Cool J escorted her up the stairs instead of Kanye West interrupting and giving her a hard time.

While Miley Cyrus is enjoying herself in Paris with Liam Hemsworth, the Hannah Montana star just got wind that her song ‘The Climb’ will not be up for a Grammy in the category of Best Song Written for a Soundtrack. The reason? It was never commissioned and written for that soundtrack specifically. The tune’s songwriter, Jessi Alexander, had shopped it to other artists before Cyrus and Disney grabbed it up. Competition rules are that the song must be written for the soundtrack to the movie it is nominated for. Alexander feels that substantial changes were made to the first version of the song she had written to make it work for the Hannah Montana soundtrack and therefore it should fit the guidelines. The execs at Disney did not see it that way and yanked it before NARAS (The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences – The Grammy’s) made it’s final call. Alexander is understandably disappointed in the big D’s decision and says:

“You can look at it a million ways. And I’m sure they wouldn’t do this if there wasn’t a true belief that it wasn’t eligible. To be honest, it’s devastating.”

Unfortunately for her, it is already decided that ‘The Climb’ will be replaced by Karen O’s ‘All in Love’ from Where The Wild Things Are. What do you think? Fair? or is everyone out to get Miley?

Taylor Swift made an appearance today on daytime talk show ‘The View’ and the country superstar talked about the Kanye West incident (Click here for all the links to the unfortunate events) from Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards. The singer (who happens to be the first country star to ever win a VMA) gave the ladies of the show (including Kate Gosselin as fill in host) the rundown of her thoughts as she won the award:

“Wow, I can’t believe I won… This is awesome… Don’t trip and fall… I’m gonna get to thank the fans, this is so cool… Oh, Kanye West is here…Cool haircut. What are you doing there? And then ouch. And then, I guess I’m not going to get to thank the fans.”

At the time of the show, Swift said West had not reached out to her to apologize however, since this aired this morning around the country, TMZ.com is reporting that West has finally done the right thing and called her to offer his apology for his rude treatment of the young star.

Here is Kanye West’s public apology to Taylor from his appearance on The Jay Leno Show on Monday night.

What do you think of everything that went down? Let’s hear what you think!

Being a top musical act isn’t enough for teen Taylor Swift. Branching out as an author, the country music star is reportedly getting ready to write a cookbook featuring her family’s traditional recipies.

“I’m writing a cookery book with all of my family’s recipes!” Taylor is quoted as telling Sugar magazine. “My mum’s teaching me her brisket later on today. I’m going to throw a dinner party for all my friends and teach them too!”

Earlier this year, the singer/songwriter already stepped out of music and into fashion with L.E.I. sportswear sundresses sold exclusively at Wal-Mart.

Sugar Magazine is a top selling British teen mag and while the quote may (or may not) be accurate, the phrasing was most like changed (cookery and mum are not used in the US by teens very often.)

Would you buy a cookbook by Taylor Swift? Miley Cyrus? Selena Gomez? Miranda Cosgrove? Tell us who you want to cook with!

Sisters Alyson and Amanda Michalka (better known as Aly & AJ) went shopping Sunday afternoon in Hollywood California. Aly’s movie with Vanessa Hudgens and Gaelen Connell, Bandslam opened this weekend and did very poorly at the box office (even with the exclusive New Moon trailer in front of it.) AJ will be in the upcoming Peter Jackson film The Lovely Bones and the duo has renamed their band 78violet and are working on new material for a new album.

UPDATE: We are getting a number of comments regarding these pictures NOT being Aly & AJ. They are identified as such by WENN the photo agency who took them, and I think if you look closely – these girls do have the chins and mouths of Aly & AJ. The hair is different but it does appear to be them. We welcome alternative opinions and will change the post if we find out that these two girls are not Aly & Aj. – Violet

Touring around the country this summer, Taylor Swift took to the stage in Wisconsin on Thursday evening for the Country Thunder Music Festival 2009. The teen sensation took time to meet and greet fans in between sets and had a couple of outfit changes to accompany her performance.

Confirmation for the final music list is still probably a month or two away, but that hasn’t stopped the rumour mill from working overtime. Which artists are making the fall’s hottest soundtrack?

MTV.com has this to say about Lee Safar’s possible inclusion:

The Facebook pages of both Lee and “Twilight” make reference to the possible inclusion of Lee’s song, “I’m Here,” on the soundtrack. Lee describes her sound as “Evanescence meets Sarah McLachlan,”

Check out Safar’s MySpace page to hear ‘I’m Here.’

EntertainmentWeekly is listing Thom Yorke of Radiohead as a possible songwriter and maybe even super hot band Kings Of Leon.

Other artists thrown around are Madonna, The Jonas Brothers, Kelly Clarkson, and Coldplay. One of the only things certain is that Paramore is out. October 6th is the official release date for the movie music so it won’t be long before the final cuts are made. I gotta say it would be sooo sweet if Thom Yorke did something for New Moon.
