If you couldn’t catch Beyonce on her ‘I Am…’ tour this year or see Paul McCartney at Citi Field, you now have the chance to. The two singers have recently signed on to star in back to back specials on ABC this coming Thanksgiving. Both entertainers will appear in one hour specials with “candid conversations and exclusive concert footage” from recent performances. You can get to find out how Beyonce got her start in her music career and how Paul remembers the craze around the Beatles on Thanksgiving, November 26 at 9/8c on ABC. Now that is something to be thankful for.

If you’re going to find an artist to compare Adam Lambert to, don’t compare him with any of the other American Idol alums like David Cook or Chris Daughtry. The singer would more likely be compared to Beyonce. Adam knows that people have mixed views regarding how he’s managing his image but he insists that he’s no different than the diva in how he does his thing. Adam said “People look at me and immediately say, ‘Oh, he’s doing the musical-theater thing’. But if you look at most female pop stars right now, how are they any less theater? Beyoncé is doing ‘Single Ladies’ with two girls in character shoes and leotards, doing [Bob] Fosse choreography from ‘Sweet Charity’ and ‘West Side Story.’ The dress-up supports that; the fantasy element supports it. People want to talk about whether I have rock cred, whether I’m selling out, the theatricality, the gay stuff. … Chill out! And just enjoy yourself.”

Joss Stone was tapped to host the red carpet show for the MTV Europe Music Awards last week. I don’t know what they were thinking when they asked her to do that given that she can be pretty rude when she wants to – or when she’s smoked a little too much. It was proven when the singer basically called the Jonas Brothers liars when they said that they wouldn’t be going out and partying for Kevin’s 22nd birthday. Talk about awkwardness. They’re a Disney band Joss, not Motley Crue. Get your facts straight. Or better yet, someone better think twice before giving her another hosting gig ever again.
