Madonna can’t make up her mind what’s cool anymore, so she’s going to try to cram as much as possible into her new tour, including shit that only she considers interesting.

First off, Madonna is going to show off her new krump dancing moves. Krump is the urban dance made popular in the documentary “Rize.” Madonna’s new tour is also using Studio 54 as an inspiration for the set, which will feature fantasy scenes from the famous nightspot.

Not content to just stick with the disco debauchery meets urban dance theme, Madonna will muddy the waters with on-stage homages to her favorite pasttimes, horseriding and kaballah. She’s also throwing some urban running in there, in case none of the other shit sticks:

Madonna, make up your mind. Just because your last tour was too Kaballah heavy doesn’t mean you don’t have to stick with a central theme. Your tour may look good and maybe you can even pull it off, but it sounds like a total mess to us.

Madonna’s tour opens in LA this May, and may even hit Israel – surprise surprise.

Here’s Madonna with little Lourdes. Lourdes’ stylist seems to be going with the junior preppy look for the pre-’tween.

“Singer” Ashlee Simpson, 21, admitted to having an eating disorder for a six month period while she was studying to be a dancer. She said that she’s over that now, and thinks it’s sad that people can’t accept their bodies. She then admits to loving her body a little too much:

At least the praise is coming from Ashlee herself, and not her creepy-ass father.

Ashlee and her great tits surfed on an MTV special “Kelly Slater Celebrity Surf Invitational,” that aired on March 25.

Here are some pictures of Ashlee surfing and contorting her face at a concert in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Saturday. Ashlee will play in Wisconsin tomorrow night, but it may be empty in the concert hall. As of last week less than 1,000 tickets were sold.

Seven more pictures after the jump.

Christina Alguilera’s latest album is a departure from the pop genre and will feature jazz-inspired songs with an authentic feel. Alguilera says her “Back to Basics” album, which is due out in June, has a “20s and 30s vibe.” Called one of the most anticipated albums of the year, Aguilera’s description suggests it won’t dissapoint:

We detailed earlier how Christina chose rap producer DJ Premiere to produce five tracks for her album. It sounds like Christina’s newest release will be a commercial and critical success.

Here she is outside of the Little Door restaurant in Hollywood last night. Pictures [via]

Now we know the reason why only Pharrell came to Paris to film his part in the Say Something video – Snoop would have been too expensive:

Mariah goes on to emphasize how over-the-top Snoop’s requirements are, without getting into specifics. Maybe he just didn’t feel like flying to Europe to work and decided it would be easier if the work came to him.

Mariah may be taking advantage of her 20 pound weight loss to become a spokesperson for a fashion house. She is said to have been noticed by Louis Vuitton higher-ups while filming “Say Something” in their Paris store. Her rep said that “she is in talks” with “quite a few fashion labels.” [via]

Mariah, no matter what you say Snoop cannot out-diva you.

Here are pictures of the two filming “Say Something” in LA. [via]

Pink is planning to surprise her husband of three months, motocross rider Carey Hart, with an erotic pole dance backstage tonight in London where she’s performing. She has been learning the tricks of the stripping trade in a bid to liven up her act. Pink has also hired lap dancers from LA to perform in her show, and wants them to get in on the action backstage too:

No man would refuse that.

Pink also credits fighting with keeping her marriage and her creativity fresh:

It sounds like she has it at least half right.

Here she is in a spread for Blender magazine.

Ashlee Simpson is talking about her bout with the exhaustion virus that claims countless young pop starlets each year. In mid-December, 2005 after a busy US tour, she went to Japan where she had to be hospitalized in less than ideal quarters:

Despite Ashlee’s impression, Japan’s health care system is much better than that of the United States. In a 2000 report by the World Health Organization, Japan ranked 10th overall in health care while the US came in at 37th – below most other industrialized nations. The US also has a higher infant mortality rate than Japan.

Here are pictures of Ashlee in April’s Jane magazine.

Sheryl Crow made a public appearance yesterday at the Rock & Republic Fashion Show in LA. She looks to be recovering well from her breast cancer scare last month and we wish her all the best.

Crow has surprised her fans with an announcement that she will be touring this Summer:

Here she is at the Rock and Republic fashion show and with Patricia Arquette.

Christina Aguilera surprised a rap producer by asking for him to collaborate on her new album. DJ Premiere has worked with Notorious B.I.G., KRS-One, Jay-Z, Nas and Jadakiss, but did not expect the pop singer to know who he was. Premiere produced five songs for Aguilera’s Back to Basics album, which should be out this June:

Here’s Aguilera looking well couiffed backstage at the Agent Provocateur fashion show in LA yesterday:

A producer who has worked with stars such as Dido and Samantha Mumbo claims that he helped Blunt create his signature simplistic music, and that Blunt screwed him once he got a music contract. What’s more, Blunt’s music was even worse before this guy reworked it for him:

The UK Performing Rights Society thinks the claims are legitimate enough to be considered, and has stopped royalty payments on 6 songs from Blunt’s album “Back to Bedlam” until the case is resolved.

Also, Blunt’s girlfriend, who is supposed to be the inspiration for that terrible song “You’re Beautiful,” wants to dump his ass. Supposedly he’s not spending enough time with her, but we think she just came to her senses.

Last night’s winner of Germany’s Idol is smoking hot 23 year-old rocker, Tobias Regner. He was the most down to earth and talented of the finalists and we were rooting for him. He has performed in a band for years and was comfortable and natural on stage.

A romance between two of the top four finalists skewed voting and screwed singer Nevio Passaro (linked site has automatic music) out of a chance at the top two. Passaro ocassionally sung in Italian and was more talented than clingly couple Mike Leon Grosch and Vanessa Jean Dedmon (linked site has automatic music). The producers played up Mike and Vanessa’s relationship in the Valentine’s episode and even had the two sing to each other when they were in the top three. Mike cried like a baby on stage after singing “You are so Beautiful” for Vanessa.

Nevio was voted out of the top four in an upset. Vanessa and Mike stayed on to keep singing boring 90s ballads, with Mike making it to the final. Mike was a wedding singer who favored Seal songs and had a gruff but strong voice. He was beaten by versatile rocker Tobias, who got 55% of the vote.

You can hear the song Tobias wrote and performed on the final on his website in English (linked site has automatic music) and there are more videos of cutie Tobias on YouTube.

Tobias is a talented, likable guy and we hope he makes it big around the world.

Tobias’ performance of Nickelback’s “How You Remind Me” two weeks ago is one of our favorites:
