"Nashville Star" Will Not Let The Clique Girlz Get Shoved Down Its Throat

Yesterday, I wondered why Danity Kane, and not the previously advertised Pussycat Dolls, were the featured group of pop tartlets on Nashville Star's Very Special Country Goes Pop (To Widen Our Demographic) episode. Apparently my initial speculation about there being some sort of feud between Nicole Scherzinger and Jewel was slightly off—TMZ is claiming that any booking-related tussles were actually happening in corporate boardrooms, and the cause of conflict was none other than Idolator's favorite group of Jersey Shore preteens who are aged before their time, The Clique Girlz.

Danity Kane Slide Right Into The Pussycat Dolls' Spot


Remember last week, when the Pussycat Dolls were supposed to guest on the "Pop Goes Country" episode of Nashville Star? Well, they canceled for unknown reasons (my theories include their label being so cheered by the fact that "When I Go Up" wasn't a flop, they decided the Dolls didn't need to sell out that much, or Nicole Scherzinger and Jewel having some sort of behind-the-scenes tiff) and were replaced by Danity Kane, who performed their deathless track "Damaged" and showed the competitors the advantage of having taped backing vocals at the ready at all times. This is another one of those times that I think the performers on singing-competition shows should be required to meet with the vocal coaches as well, if only for breathing advice. Yeesh.

We're All Living In Danity Kane's Dollhouse Now

Welcome To The Dollhouse by Danity Kane, the Diddy proteges who have had their recent travails chronicled on the latest installment of Making Da Band, debuted at No. 1 on the album chart this week, selling 236,000 copies and crushing its closest competitor, Now 27. (The compilation of last season's hits moved 170,000 copies.) The comic character-named dancepop group led an unusually strong chart week that was buoyed by a few other sorta-big debuts and a surge in kiddie-centric music occasioned by the rush to fill Easter baskets.

Latest by Al Shipley: @Chris Molanphy: FWIW, about 2 years ago VH1 changed their countdown show from a purposefully vague (i.e. rigged) charting system to basing it purely on website votes. Granted, I'm sure that's easily manipulated, but I think it's more based on more »

Who Charted?: Dylan Hits No. 1, Danity Kane Wonders Who He Is

Get ready for a slew of "rock is back" huzzahs and back-slaps: Bob Dylan is at the top of this week's Billboard 200. "Modern Times," which sold 192,000 copies in the U.S. last week, is Dylan's fourth career No. 1 album and his first since 1976's "Desire." Last week's chart-toppers, Diddy proteges Danity Kane (wait, were any of them even born in 1976?), slipped to No. 2 with 117,000 albums sold. More »
