BRITNEY SPEARS, DEMI LOVATO JOIN "THE X FACTOR"
NEW YORK (AP) -- Fox is finally confirming what everyone already seems to know: Britney Spears is joining "The X Factor" as a judge. What you may not have heard is that Demi Lovato will be a judge as well. Fox made the announcement yesterday in New York, as Spears and Lovato met up with Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid for the first time publicly. Spears says she is "so excited about the whole experience" and it will be different from anything she's ever done. Lovato says she's "totally stoked" about her new job and she's excited to represent her generation.
BOBBY BROWN PREPARES "MASTERPIECE"
NEW YORK (AP) -- Bobby Brown is ready to release his first album in 14 years because he's got his life together now. "Masterpiece" will come out June 5. Brown says the album took so long because he was concentrating on improving himself. Even though he was arrested for DUI in March, he says he's been off drugs for more than seven years. Brown says he wants to get back to entertaining and "this is the start."
ADAM LAMBERT'S "TRESPASSING" OUT TODAY
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) -- Adam Lambert's losses in love and then success in love fueled his new album, "Trespassing." Lambert says he had "some failed romantic situations" just as he started writing, so he was working through some dark times. He says he got into a relationship with Finnish "Big Brother" winner Sauli Koskinen, and he started relaxing more. What about that bar fight he got into with Koskinen in Finland? Lambert says it's "the reality of the situation when famous people have a bad night" and "it wasn't that big of a deal."
RINGO STARR LOSES EARLY BEATLES PHOTOS
NEW YORK (AP) -- Ringo Starr was the true insider when it came to insider photos of The Beatles in their early days -- and he doesn't know where those pictures are. Starr used to travel with a camera and took lots of photos of the band. Starr says he's moved several times and he doesn't know where those photos are, but he's hopeful they'll turn up. He's gotten lucky before. Starr found a bunch of postcards from The Beatles in a shoebox and published them in 2004 as "Postcards From The Boys."
ERIC HUTCHINSON, THE "ACOUSTIC SOUL" GUY
CHICAGO (AP) -- Eric Hutchinson's music is hard to put into a category, but he calls it soul music. Hutchinson says he writes and sings from his soul. He says he loves a lot of different kinds of music and it shows in his own songs. He got in trouble, though, coming across the border from Canada to the U.S. when he told customs officials he and his band played "acoustic soul." Hutchinson says the authorities told them to get out and they searched the whole van. He says if he had just said they were a rock band, they would have moved on with no problem.
