‘Hills’ Star Heidi Montag Says She Wants To Record Christian Album
In an interview with USA Today, “Hills” Heidi Montag star opened up about her spirituality, her hopes to release a Christian album one day, and her relationship with boyfriend/manager Spencer Pratt.
In the interview — which also includes mentions of Montag’s clothing line, Heidiwood — Montag said that she and Pratt read the Bible regularly, and described herself as “kind of non-denominational Baptist.” She also mentions plans for a humanitarian trip to Africa in August to “feed children and build things.”
“I have been the most religious person since I was 2 years old,” she said. “I always felt this crazy connection to God.”
Which is where the Christian album comes in, which Montag says she’s interested in making at some point in the future. And while the article doesn’t mention when said album will materialize, there is a video interview including a clip of her video for “Fashion,” which is full of vocal effects but seems short on religious sentiment.
And while she and Pratt have had their share of ups and downs, Montag said that her beau is “the most amazing person to ever exist. Everything you could ever want in a best friend, soulmate and boyfriend.”
In the interview, she was also asked about the sex tape that Lauren Conrad had supposedly shot with ex-beau Jason Wahler. “I don’t even want to talk about that,” Montag said. “There were rumors about a sex tape, but I had nothing to do with that. God knows the truth in all of this, and at the end of the day, that is the only thing that matters. Jesus was persecuted, and I’m going to get persecuted, ya know? But it doesn’t matter to me.”
For The Record: Britney Spears, Ruben Studdard, Kristy Lee Cook, Ticketmaster And More
· Britney Spears quickly took advantage of her new custody arrangement with ex-Kevin Federline by having a 12-hour sleepover with her two sons on Saturday night.
· Former “American Idol” winner Ruben Studdard, 29, married fiancee Surata Zuri McCants in Birmingham, Alabama, on Saturday. The singer — who was recently dropped from his major label contract — did not perform at his own 30-minute ceremony, but he is reportedly working on a new album.
· Speaking of “Idol,” horse whisperer Kristy Lee Cook, one of this year’s finalists, has signed a deal with 19 Recordings/ Arista Nashville and will be releasing her first single, “15 Minutes of Shame,” on August 11. An album is due in the fall.
·Rhapsody (a joint venture with MTV Networks) has announced that it is opening an MP3 store with no digital rights management.
· Ticketmaster was awarded an $18 million judgment in its case against ticketbot company RMG Technologies, which a judge in Los Angeles ruled had worked around the ticketing giant’s software with an automated program in order to help scalpers buy tickets at speeds and volumes that virtually shut out regular customers. Some of the alleged biggest victims of the technology were “Hannah Montana” fans who were unable to get tickets to the Miley Cyrus’ 2007 gigs.
· The non-profit (RED) organization has raised money to fight AIDS in Africa by selling everything from shoes and clothing to special-edition iPods. Now, it’s starting a digital-music subscription service slated to launch in September that will deliver three new pieces of exclusive content a week for a $5 a month. Among the acts that have signed up so far are: U2, Death Cab for Cutie, Bob Dylan and Elton John.
DMX Arrested In Miami For Trying To Buy Cocaine, Marijuana
DMX can’t seem to stay on the straight and narrow.
After a string of arrests, the rapper was busted once more in Miami on Friday (June 27) for reportedly trying to buy cocaine and marijuana, according to TMZ. X (real name: Earl Simmons) was just arrested on Monday for driving without a valid driver’s license.
In May, the MC was arrested for speeding after being caught on camera going 114 mph. Just days after that, he was busted on animal-cruelty and drug-possession charges after detectives raided his Arizona home; he pleaded not guilty to the 11 charges on May 16.
The real question after hearing his rap sheet is, how is he still free? We’ll keep you up to date if X runs into any more trouble.
MTV Newsers See How The Other Side Lives At MTV UK Offices
By Matt Elias
We spent the day at Tim Kash’s old stomping grounds: the MTV UK office. MTV News Associate Producer James Barnes showed us around, and while walking through cubicles and edit bays might be boring for some, it was really rad to see the U.K. operation in action.
In one of the edit bays, they were reworking one of our pieces from the States — 50 Cent and G-Unit’s recent trip to South Africa — to be rebroadcast in the U.K.
We also got a chance to sneak into the studio while on-air reporters Rickie and Laura were doing stand-ups for news hits (or “bulletins” as they call them here). Seeing green screen in person still blows my mind.
Other things that blew my mind: Their water dispensers offer sparkling water, I was able to log on to a computer with my user name and password from L.A., and they haven’t heard of Girl Talk!
But everyone was super-cool and laid-back, just like our office back in L.A. (minus the sparkling water).
