How To Become A Pop Star
It the modern world where fame and celebrity status have become iconic you may want to do everything you can to become famous. There are many ways in which you can try and become a pop star, and by far one of the best ways is to hone your craft and make sure you’re the best that you can be. And even though the likes of Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were in the fame business from an early age, there is no reason that you can’t break into the pop world later in life.
One of the first things to remember when trying to become a pop star is that most people start from humble beginnings. Whilst Madonna and Lady Gaga may have become international and global superstars, they have strived hard to keep changing their images and ensure their survival in a cut throat industry. Working tirelessly to keep their self made fame they continue to add to their image, whether with avant-garde costumes and music styles, and it is these personalities that you should look up to when starting out. Always be optimistic. After every knockback try again, and always believe in yourself.
Once you have decided to become a pop star it is important to get the right accessories. It is a good idea to take a few vocal lessons, even if you are very talented, as coaches can help guide your voice towards a pop sound. Meanwhile you can use websites like couponcactus.com to buy equipment and instruments to help you write, play and record your own work. Much of the time your voice won’t be enough on its own, and in the modern day industry you’ll need to show that you can write songs too. Even if you end up using a songwriter once you are famous, being a good lyricist will set you in good stead from the start.

His ethnicity is a mix of French, Puerto Rican, German and Black…he has brains too..he studied engineering in college! Ashley is a New York native , but has spent the last 6 years in Atlanta. A photographer flew him to Los Angeles to shoot some stuff for his portfolio, and the rest is history. He loved the experience so much, he decided to stay. He’s been in L.A since January 2010 and is signed to Photogenics Media . He is definitely on his way to the top! Check out the interview and more PICS after the break!
Trin: How long have you been modeling and how did you get started?
Ashley: Modeling is something that always gravitated to me regardless of how much I tried ignoring the idea. Not to sound cocky, thats not what im getting at, its just that my mom always wanted it for my sister and I.. but it wasn’t until I was an “adult” that i thought of pursuing it as my future. I’ve modeled on and off and professionally since I was 19.

Ted Williams has just signed a deal to star in his very own reality show called Second Chances at Life which will begin filming in 2 weeks. The show will document how he went from a promising radio career, to being homeless..to becoming a youtube star. It will also follow his journey as he rebuilds his career and personal life. The show will be shot in 3 locations: Brooklyn, his hometown, Ohio, where he was homeless, and LA where he currently hangs. Season 2 is already in the works, where they will introduce others who deserve a second chance. Ted’s story is amazing and a lot has happened to him in the last few months. I hope he has a supportive team around him and that he can handle it all..it should be interesting to watch.

Heidi Montag before and after plastic surgery photos
According to People Magazine, Heidi Montag has admitted she is addicted to plastic surgery at just 23 years old! Heidi once had 10 procedures in one day. Who is authorizing this? Smh
I was made fun of when I was younger, and so I had insecurities, especially after I moved to L.A. People said I had a “Jay Leno Chin”; They’d circle it on blogs and say nasty things… I think I look way better [now]. I’m way happier. Before, I wouldn’t even want to smile in photo’s because it would elongate my chin.
.
I think she look great, like one of Hugh Hefner’s girls (The DDD are out of control) but if she’s “obsessed” then she won’t look like this for long. The plastic surgery aged her a bit..what’s gonna happen at 30, 40 and so on?

TV: Simon Cowell leaving American Idol, plus Glee renewed for a second season
The time has come, Simon Cowell has finally decided to leave American Idol. This will be his final season 
The network made the announcement today at the Television Critics Association tour in Pasadena, Ca. Cowell’s popular UK show, The X Factor will be coming to the US in the Fall of 2011. He will be both executive producer and a judge on The X Factor.
“I want to leave Idol this year bigger and better than it was in the past….I’m thrilled that we have put a date on the launch of the U.S. version of ‘The X Factor,’ and delighted to be continuing to work with Fox,” said Cowell in a statement. “We have a fantastic relationship, a great team and are all very excited about this.”
I’m gonna miss Simon *tear. American Idol just won’t be the same without him. In other TV news, one of my favorite new shows Glee has been renewed for a second season!
According to The Hollywood Reporter:
The show also is launching a nationwide casting search to fill new roles for season two.
The auditions will start in February and will be open to amateurs and professionals between the ages of 16-26.
“Anybody and everybody now has a chance to be on a show about talented underdogs,” co-creator/exec producer Ryan Murphy said. “No matter who you are — a Broadway talent or a struggling singing waiter with a dream in the Midwest — you now have an opportunity to make that dream come true by posting your talent video and showing us what you can do.”
Glee returns with orignal episodes April 13th.
