Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez Hit Toronto

Rising Disney stars/BFFs Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez have made the trip up north to Toronto, Ontario, as the duo arrived arm-in-arm to their hotel on Thursday afternoon (July 3).

With her Wizards of Waverly Place pal there for support, Miss Lovato is readying for her opening act duties for the Jonas Brothers - with the tour kicking off at the Molson Amphitheatre later tonight.

The North America tour then heads to the States, beginning with a show in Clarkston, Michigan on Saturday night - finally wrapping up on September 5 with a show in West Palm Beach.

As for Lovato, the blooming singer recently told press that “most of the music she’s interested in is too dark to make it on a Disney album” - so, as the story goes, she “turned to the Jonas Brothers to lighten her act up.”

Fergie Forgets To Zip Up

Fergie Forgets To Zip Up

Recently engaged to marry Las Vegas hunk Josh Duhamel, an energized Fergie took to the stage earlier today in New Zealand.

The Black Eyed Pea singer, who forgot to zip up her fly before starting the show, was enjoying her spot as the opening act for Sting and the Police at Westpac Stadium.

Now that the Wellington gig is over, the group is headed off to perform in Auckland at the Western Springs Stadium on January 19th.

Meanwhile, as far as her personal life is concerned, fiance Josh Duhamel recently told People magazine that he and his Fergalicious bride-to-be are in the preliminary stages of planning a wedding.

“Right now, we’re just figuring it all out,” he said, adding that they haven’t settled on a size or location for the ceremony. “We’re just enjoying it. It’s all great, though.”

After news of the engagement broke on Christmas day, Fergie gushed: “I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I’m thrilled.”

Carrie Underwood’s Powerful Grammy Performance

Carrie Underwood’s Powerful Grammy Performance

As if being the 50th Grammy Awards ceremony didn’t already generate enough buzz itself, having country music superstar Carrie Underwood open up with her chart topping hit “Before He Cheats” put things over the top from the beginning of the show.

Drifting slightly from her country roots, Underwood has really made an attempt to appeal to the Top 40 music audience to increase the reach of her music.  Wearing skimpy little black shorts and a pair of boots is more expected from the likes of a Britney Spears or Rihanna.

Carrie Underwood’s live performance was first class, and will be remembered as one of the highlights of the evening.  The directors of the Grammys went with a sure bet in Underwood to deliver a solid opening act, as they gave current rehab resident Amy Winehouse a slot later in the show after things were already going.

Last year Underwood surpassed Faith Hill, becoming the rising queen of country music.  The deadly combination of her amazing voice and stunning looks has made her a household name (not too bad for an American Idol contestant).

Screaming fans lined up outside of the Hard Rock Café in New York City on Friday morning – hoping to catch a glimpse of the growingly popular Jonas Brothers in action.

Joe, Nick and Kevin were there as part of a performance on CBS News’ “The Early Show”.

The trio are coming off of the release of their second album in August, which reached No. 5 on the Billboard chart, along with opening act duties for Miley Cyrus’ mega-popular Best of Both Worlds tour.

And expect to see a lot more Jonas in the future, as press reports tell that “the Disney Channel is developing a reality show tentatively titled “Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream,” which will follow them as they rehearse, tour and hang out with family and friends.”
