Lady GaGa claimed her fame through debut album "The Fame". On the effort which has been released in the U.S. since August 19, she embraced pop culture and invited her fans to an electro-techno roller coaster ride of music.

I want people to feel a part of this lifestyle."

The Twilight movie has a 6page spread in the latest issue of Celebrity Yearbook magazine. In the spread they have full page pictures of some of the cast a foldout poster and some cool fun facts to share with us.The AntiHero!Twilight may be mainly a love story between a vampire and a human but Robert Pattinson didnt shy away from delving into the intricacies of his character Edward! I like the fact that hes sort of a hero character that so violently denies that hes in any way a hero at any point Robert shares. Even when he does heroic acts. Every single step he makes he thinks is a mistake but really hes kind of doing as best he can actually. I think hes really quite nice. Hes very humble.Rain Rain Go Away!Weather was a major factor during the filming that took place in Oregon

8 October 2008 1:57 AM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news

David Archuleta is confirmed to sign a contract with Azoff Management, the same powerhouse team who helped Eagles, Christina Aguilera, Neil Diamond, and, most recently, Morrissey boosting their music careers. Meanwhile, his first manager, who is also his father, Jeff Archuleta, will still co-assist him together with Azoff's Jared Paul.

Previously, TMZ reported that Jeff had allegedly caused trouble by insisting to change the lyrics of David's first song in "American Idol" called "Stand By Me" by adding a verse from Sean Kingston's hit, "Beautiful Girls". The result of Jeff's decision at that time reportedly caused 'American Idol' team to pay a lot of money to the song's publisher as a compensation.

David's self titled debut album is slated for release on November 11 via Jive Records. Co-written by Jess Cates, Dave Hodges, and Emanuel Kiriakou, his lead single titled "Crush" peaked at number one on Billboard Hot
