The 31-year-old, who was ultimately diagnosed with lupus, has created a new online documentary series called the Ncredible Health Hustle which begins with the his first day in the hospital.  Cannon narrates: "A few days ago, I was with my family in the snow, playing, having a good time.  All of a sudden, I started swelling up, having shortness of breath, excruciating pain in my right side.

Is Katy Perry milking all she can out of Teenage Dream or simply riding its string of hits and Michael Jackson-tying record? Whichever you think, Perry’s rolling out yet another product of her successful album and tour – a concert film in 3D.

When Adele released 19, people loved the tracks “Cold Shoulder” and “Chasing Pavements” but many wondered if she could come back and deliver something as good with her next album.  Then 23 came out and she blew everyone away.  She had not only matched her previous effort – she had surpassed it. 

The singer has made jokes about how her agent and label must be happy that she keeps having her heart broken because she builds on those experiences and creates incredible songs like “Someone Like You” and “Rolling in the Deep.”  Songs that people can relate to.  The types of songs that people want more of.

When speaking with French radio station, NRJ, she said:  “There will be a new song, probably coming out at the end of the year. But then it depends how quickly I write some other new songs.” […] Read more »
