Miley Cyrus celebrated her 16th birthday party in Disneyland this past weekend even though her actual birthday is November 23rd. The park was closed for the special party. Miley sang 4 songs and the evening ended with a fantastic fireworks display above Sleeping Beauty Castle with 16 giant inflatable candles.

“Miley is really hard to surprise,” her father Billy Ray Cyrus was quoting saying.

Organizers estimated that over 5,000 people attended each paying 250 dollars a ticket. There was a purple carpet - that’s Miley’s favorite color and as she posed for pictures on it, she happily told everyone that her parents bought her a new puppy a malti-poo mix named Sophie for her birthday.

She seemed happy with the effort her parents put into the shindig:

“My parents shut down Disneyland for me, so I’m good for a while.” She also was heard saying: “This is the most amazing sweet 16 that a girl could have!”

Her dad kicked off the party by singing a few songs of his own including his hit, “Achy Breaky Heart” and Miley’s ‘friend/boyfriend’ country singer Justin Gaston played guitar and sang along with Miley’s older sister Brandi as well.

Some of the more popular attractions, such as Big Thunder Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean, remained open to partygoers. A few fun activities were also offered to the guests such as receiving a “Hannah Montana” makeover and playing the upcoming Disney Interactive Studios rhythm video game “Ultimate Band.”

The party goers were in celebrity heaven watching so many stars wandering around the park some of whom included: David Archuleta, Jennie Garth, Steve Carell, Cindy Crawford, Tyra Banks and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Disney donated 1 million dollars to charity on her behalf. The funds raised were from a combination of ticket sales and money Disney has raised. Which was nice!

Janet Jackson has canceled her fourth show in Greensboro Carolina in less than a week due to her still being ill.

A statement from Miss Jackson said she arrived in Greensboro, N.C., planning to perform there today, but a local doctor advised her not to perform after it became “evident” she was not fully recovered.

Her reps will only say she became “suddenly ill” and was hospitalized Monday night in Montreal shortly after she arrived there for a show. She also canceled concerts in Boston and Philadelphia on Wednesday and Thursday.

Jackson’s publicist has so far not elaborated or disclosed what her illness is, only saying she was “recuperating.”

Shame. Hope she gets well soon. She is on her first North American tour in seven years.

Beyonce is set to release her new album sometime next month. She says she has recorded SEVENTY SONGS. I Just read this little tidbit from her official website:

“I wanted to address my fans about my upcoming album. I have worked on this album for close to one year. I have taken the time so I can create my sound. Something that says who I am at this stage in my life. I have poured my heart and soul into it. It is my baby. It is the most time I have spent on any project since my first records as a member of Destiny’s Child when I was 15 years old. I have recorded over 70 songs and have created a sound that reveals all of me. I am in a different place right now and I wanted people to see the many sides of me. The music is upbeat for the dance, fun side and it is reflective, passionate and serious for the personal side. I have taken risks here. I am not afraid and my music will explain it all. There is no label or tag on my sound. It’s me and I am so excited to share it with the world on November 18. Love, Beyoncé”

Time will tell just how many of those 70 songs will make it on the album, but it was previously announced that two tracks from Beyonce’s album, “If I Were a Boy” and “Single Ladies,” will drop in advance of the LP on October 7.

Travis Barker has been discharged from the Doctors Hospital in Augusta, GA and is heading back to Los Angeles. His rep issued this statement to People:

“Travis is doing great and was discharged this morning. He has left Augusta.”

Travis and DJ AM were both admitted into the Joseph M. Still Burn Center nine days ago after a plane crash in South Carolina claimed the lives of 4 passengers. Travis suffered second and third degree burns to his torso and lower body.

DJ AM was released from the hospital this past Friday.

When news of the crash was first reported, we were led to believe DJ AM had severe facial burns and was in critical condition as was Travis with severe burns to his torso and lower body. How can they be discharged after just 9 days? No mention if both will be continuing treatment at L.A. hospitals… I imagine they will since burns take quite some time to heal.

I don’t know… it seems as if the media exploited a tragedy for headlines.

While it’s a very good thing both survived and were released, 4 other passengers (non celebs) lost their lives. I can’t help but feel sorry for their families.

Katy Perry fans can get even more excited now. Check out this limited edition doll due to be released next week. Whoever wants to pay $49.99 can have one. Sounds like the deal of the day! It seems to look like the one seen in her video for Ur So Gay.

New York based toy maker Integrity Toys, says only 500 of these Katy dolls will be made. Hmm, so they are a limited edition… does this mean that they could become a collector item with the potential to possibly be worth big bucks someday? Maybe I should buy one just in case and store it with my Beanie Baby Collection, my Fairywinkles, and my Care Bears.

Aside from the potential investment opportunity, they are kind of cute, and I have to admit, I’d love to have a doll made to look like me!

DJ AM was released from Doctors Hospital in Georgia, a week after surviving a plane crash in South Carolina. His rep said he had returned to Los Angeles and released the following statement:

“While he is deeply saddened by the events he is thankful for all of the love and support he has been receiving from fans and friends world wide. We ask that you continue respect his privacy as he rests and heals and mourns the loss of his friends.”

His sister told the Enquirer that he was burned on 12% of his body but that he would have close to no permanent scarring/damage.

Travis Barker who was more seriously injured remains in the hospital in Georgia where he’s being treated for burns to his torso and lower body. Jermaine Dupri, (Janet Jackson’s boyfriend and close friend of Travis) recently visited Travis and told People:

“He’s supposed to send a message out to everybody in a couple of days to let everybody know that he’s feeling better. He’s definitely feeling the love from everyone.”

Apparently Travis is expecting to be discharged from the hospital in about two weeks.

Amy Winehouse came out of hiding to attend one of the classiest events on the London social scene, the Prince’s Trust End of the Summer Ball.

Amy’s goddaughter Dionne, who is only 12 years old was invited to perform at the charity ball and the Amy sang background vocals.

Sadly, she was a mess.

The UK’s Daily Mail reports that the audience was stunned at her appearance. One of the guests there recounted Amy’s pathetic performance to the paper:

“It was tragic — she seemed totally wasted. She was jumping all over Dionne as the poor girl tried to sing for the crowd. Amy didn’t really sing a single note — it sounded more like she was grunting down the mic.’

Things got worse.

After their performance, Amy was tramping about from table to table at the charity ball, demanding to meet famous people.

In a move that shocked everyone, when she was asked to pose for the event’s official phototographer, Amy:

“…flipped and tried to headbutt him. She looked like a woman possessed.”

When she finally managed to make her way backstage she reportedly collapsed in tears and kept saying: “Life can’t go on, I can’t do this.”

Where are her family, PR people? This woman needs an intervention. Stat. Why won’t anyone help her? If she were a ‘regular person’ she would be arrested for being in that condition at such an important, upscale event. If someone doesn’t do something soon, she will die. She’s dying in front of our eyes. Such a shame, she is so talented.

It’s been 40 years since Israel banned the Beatles, but Sir Paul McCartney traveled ‘the long and winding road’ to step onto the stage at Tel Aviv tonight and wow his Israeli fans with a fantastic concert.

The ‘decadent’ Fab Four were banned from performing back in 1965 by a conservative Israeli government over concerns about the corrupting influence the Beatles would have on the country’s youth. Those children are all grown up now and they came and brought children of their own as well as grandchildren to watch the legendary guitarist do what he does best.

He kicked off with ‘Hello, Goodbye’, a Beatle’s hit and told fans he was on a peace mission on behalf of the Israelis and Palestinians. As he sang the hit Give Peace a Chance, he stopped before the chorus to encourage the fans to sing along, saying to them: ‘Here tonight you sing it, you want it.’

His lineup included many Beatles hits, as well as songs from his post-Beatles group, Wings.

The songs included: Yesterday, Back in the USSR, Hey Jude and Jet. He added two encores for the cheering crowd.

He had hired a £1.5million security operation to protect him which included a massive 5,000 personnel guarding him during his stay.

This came after extremists including radical cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed warned Sir Paul to cancel the controversial visit out ‘of respect of the feelings of Muslims in Palestine’.

But after waiting 40 years, Paul decided to go ahead as planned. He said on his website that he hoped his concert at Tel Aviv’s Yarkon Park, which is being billed as part of Israel’s 60th anniversary celebrations, would ‘reawaken’ the idea of peace.

He said: ‘The world knows about the conflicts that have been in that region and I like to think that if I go to a place it becomes evident that my message is a peaceful one and I hope that the idea will spread.

‘Music can help people to just calm them down. I also think it can be very interesting for change.

‘Songs like We Shall Overcome have been very important for the civil rights movement so yeah, I think music is great and it can make changes.’

Hey Sh*t happens!

I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw these pictures of P Diddy steppin’ in a mound of poo on the sidewalk in New York. Check out that pose! Wonder if his bodyguard gets his walking papers although really, P should watch where he’s going instead of sticking his nose up in the air and posing for pictures.

His stylist must have spent hours putting his outfit together although I do find it a disrespectful fashion statement wearing a rosary around his neck. We’d never see him on his knees with one in his hand praying.

Now those big dolla shoes reek. I wonder if the bodyguard is going to have to wipe the doo doo off them?!!

Talk about a shiddy situation!

Courtney Love made a rare public appearance shopping in Malibu. She was spotted by the paparazzi reading The Crystal Bible. This a disturbing picture of her saying hello to them the way she usually does, by flipping them the bird.

She’s looking hella scary, I’m wondering if she’s still recuperating from her daughter Franny Bean’s ‘Suicidal 16′ birthday party this past weekend? This picture of her is so so sad. She’s got the Amy Wino look going on and it isn’t good. Not at all. What’s wrong with the people around her? Her family, her friends, her manager? Don’t they see how ill she is? She needs an intervention. Stat.
