Ashley Tisdale Was Robbed!

And she was robbed terribly. Ashley Tisdale (June 20 - 28, 2009) was reportedly the victim of a robbery. Some guy broke into her home in Toluca Lake and stole some of her valuable items. No word yet on what was actually taken from her, but the guy who did break into her home has a giant criminal record of recent events. Jonathan Ajar, nicknamed "Johnny Dangerous", is part of a gang of Hollywood burglars that have already robbed several celebrities in the past month. They have also robbed the homes of Megan Fox from "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", Brian Austin Green of "Beverly Hills 90210" and wannabe white rapper fame, socialite Paris Hilton, ticking time bomb Lindsay Lohan, former "OC" star Rachel Bilson, "The Hills" actress Audrina Partridge, and slimeball Orlando Bloom. We will definitely keep an eye out on this dude. The first sign that this guy is not that threatening is when he adopts the moniker of a Michael Keaton movie.

Here's to hoping she doesn't become a forgotten Disney star like Christy Carlson Romano.

Who Is Paramore?

Paramore was nominated 4 times prior to last week's contest, and on their last nomination, they finally edged out a narrow win to become the EdgeMusic Artist of the Week. So now we have to answer this question: Who Is Paramore?

Since Paramore does have a strong mainstream fan base, you may know who they are by now. However, two weeks ago, their third album "Brand New Eyes" debuted at #2, while Barbara Streisand held the #1 spot on the Billboard 200. So maybe, not everyone knows who they are. So if you didn't help the band debut at #1, here a look at the story of Paramore.

Billboard 200 Update (October 14, 2009)

The Backstreet Boys (May 4 - 11, 2008) debuted at #9 this week with their seventh album "This Is Us". The album moved 42,000 copies, which is almost half of the sales for 2007's "Unbreakable" in its first week, which debuted at #7. Their peak had already ended, but this was no fault to the boys. They could have gotten a lot more promotion in this week to boost the sales if Brian Littrell hadn't caught the swine flu. We were sure that promotion would take a good hit after that.

Shelby Cobra Also Has Swine Flu

We already reported on how Brian Littrell became the first EdgeMusic alum to catch the dreaded swine flu one day before the Backstreet Boys released their new album "This Is Us". Now we found out more to this horrible situation: there's another EdgeMusic alum who has the infamous pig virus. Shelby Cobra of KSM has confirmed that she had the swine flu.

Elliot James Leaves Hey Monday

As Hey Monday's term as the current EdgeMusic Artist of the Week ends tomorrow, the band has been hit with a curveball that is not an excellent way to end a winner's reign. Elliot James has announced he is leaving the band.

Brian Littrell Diagnosed With Swine Flu

Tomorrow, the Backstreet Boys release their new album "This Is Us", and they are using every opportunity they have to get people to buy the album. So it was appropriate that the worst case scenario was the dreaded swine flu. Today, it was confirmed that Brian Littrell has been diagnosed with the one disease that no musician or EdgeMusic alum wants to have. While it's the biggest epidemic to spread throughout the Earth this entire year, it's not fatal. You just have to take the regular medication. What we learned that swine flu is the same as regular flu. The only difference is that it lasts up to a week rather than a 4 to 5 day basis. This pretty screws up the band's promotional plans this week, which is what they needed to guarantee a great first week debut. The cancelled appearances include a performance on CBS's The Early Show tomorrow morning, an intimate performance at PC Richards in New York City, and a signing for Hard Rock Live's PINKTOBER event in New York City. Now the boys can only hope to figure out how to sort out the rest of their promo schedule and hope that it catches on to music consumers through the songs. The last thing they need in their career is the swine flu.

Ashley Tisdale Cast In "Sleeping Beauty"

Remember when we told you about Ashley Tisdale going back to blonde because she said she was being cast in a new movie. Well now, she has confirmed what the project is: a live-action remake of the Disney classic, "Sleeping Beauty". She will be shooting the movie on November 25th, and she will star alongside Meg Ryan. The only way you could make me go see this movie is if Ashley's the one playing Princess Aurora.
