Celebrities
have fame and fortune and very little privacy. It seems that fans like
to follow all of their favorite celebrities’ activities. Once in the
public eye, there’s no getting away from pursuits by fans, autograph
hounds and paparazzi. Whether it’s singers or film stars, fashion
models or sports celebrities, we all have our favorites.
To accommodate their fans, most celebrities have gone to the Internet
with their own Web sites. Now we can learn about them and follow their
activities online.
Among
individual artists, Britney
Spears got the most votes on MP3 as the "hottest star."
Her official Web site is complete with photo gallery, video clips,
chat, tour info, a place to upload your Britney stuff, FAQ and her
latest news. Her new book, Heart to Heart, is also available from the
official site.
The
Britney Spears Portal
features links to photos, lyrics, news, chat, plus a directory of
rated, and categorized fan sites. Lots of sites have been devoted to
Britney by fans as well as by commercial interests. Britney
Zone looks particularly attractive, well organized and up-to-date.
If
you’re a Celine Dion fan,
as I am, you’ll definitely want to visit her Web site.
Celine’s latest CD "All the Way--a Decade of Song"
features familiar favorites, like "The First Time Ever I Saw Your
Face" and "The Power of Love". She’s added new
tracks like the superbly performed "Then You Look at Me", a
mastery of artistry that I stop to listen to every time it comes on
MTV. Here are the lyrics by James Horner and Will Jennings:
Laugh
and cry, live and die
Life is a dream we are dreaming
Day by day I find my way
Look for the soul and the meaning
Then you look at me
And I always see
What I have been searching for
I'm lost as can be
Then you look at me
And I am not lost anymore
People run, sun to sun,
Caught in their lives ever flowing
Once begun, life goes till it's gone
We have to go where it's going
Then you look at me
And I always see
What I have been searching for
I'm lost as can be
Then you look at me
And I am not lost anymore
And you say you see
When you look at me
The reason you love life so
Though lost I have been
I find love again
And life just keeps on running
And life just keeps on running
You look at me and life comes from you
Jennifer
Lopez has an official Web site that has less in the way of
photos, videos, discography, biography, links and concert reviews than
her pages on Celebrity
Pro. Jennifer won the MTV Moonman award for the best
hip-hop video, and she's starring in the upcoming movie Maid in
Manhattan.
J.Lo's
survival secret has almost become a motto for her: "If you're
going to make it in this business, you have to do it or die...there's
no alternative."
Ricky
Martin appeals to the masses because he's so thoroughly engaged
with life, when so many of us suppress our dreams and enthusiasm. For
the girls who want to swoon, see Rickey’s
official Web site. Like so many of the singing celebrities,
Ricky's site opens with a clip of him singing.
Ricky's
latest album, "Sound Loaded", is the eagerly-awaited
follow-up to his phenomenal English language debut album, which has
sold 15 million copies worldwide.
Shania
Twain is the kind of woman that men fall in love with and women
want as their best friend. She’s a surprising combination of
elegant, 
sporty, smooth, cool, and just plain fun. Twain has a strong, lovely
voice, but her greatest gift seems to be in knowing what the public
wants.
Shania's
new record UP! will be released in stores on NOVEMBER 19th! The album,
produced by Mutt Lange, includes all songs written by Twain and Lange.
UP! marks the first record since the unbridled success of 1997's
"Come On Over". Come On Over continues to shatter music
industry records; the album is now the highest-selling release since
the inception of SoundScan and the best-selling album ever by a female
artist in the U.S., at a staggering 19 million units.
Madonna
has become a legend in the pop music scene, and she’s developed a
huge fan club. Madonna, "The goddess of Pop", has an
official site at Warner Bros; and links to dedicated sites can be
found at CBVCP, a
Madonna resource page with lots of links.
Madonna has been voted the greatest woman in music history in a poll
carried out by music channel VH1. Madonna is the most successful
female chart act of all time with worldwide sales of more than 140
million records. Over 750,000 votes were cast in the poll and Madonna
was the clear winner with 17%.
Kylie Minogue was second place and Celine Dion was third, followed by
Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin.
When
you visit Mariah Carey's
site, you can check out her pics, listen to her songs, watch videos
read her news and follow her projects. Apparently, her new recording
company has told her not to dress so 
provocatively.
Forget it! The world needs a bit more of Mariah's kind of
provocation!
After
closing out the 90's as the undisputed biggest-selling female
recording artist of the decade - in excess of 150 million albums and
singles have been sold worldwide - singer / songwriter / producer
Mariah Carey unleashes Glitter, her first musical offering of the new
millennium. Released in conjunction with her 80's-reminiscent
motion picture debut of the same name, Glitter features 12 newly
recorded tracks that run the musical gamut, from Mariah's highly
stylized dramatic pop ballads to straight-up urban-oriented party
tunes.
Carey
shot a video this week in New York City with director Dave Meyers. The
video is for her new single, "Through The Rain" from her yet
to be titled new album due out December 10th. The video features
appearances by Jamie Lynn Sigler (The Sopranos) and JD White (The
Wire).
Two
Latin singing clebrities that can't be left out are Gloria Estefan and
Julio Iglesias. Gloria
Estefan, including photos and Latin rhythms, can be seen and heard
at her site. Both Gloria and the rhythms are irresistible. The other
most popular Latin star of the day, Julio
Iglesias, has his own official site. What a tall, dark, handsome
and romantic hunk he is, girls!
The
latest among the celebrity singers to walk off with a bundle of awards
is rap singer Eminem. The word is that with his acquired fame
and fortune that he's even becoming civilized.
Now,

PC, fire up your browser, put on your headphones, adjust your volume
control and enjoy your favorites!
