Music mogul Clive Davis revealed that he’s bisexual in his new memoir The Soundtrack of My Life.

The 80-year-old details his first encounter with a male in the book, and also claims that he had a “monogamous long-term relationship with an unnamed male doctor” for 15 years. The relationship ended in 2004.

In an excerpt obtained by Rolling Stone, Davis, who is twice-divorced, talks about the first time he experimented with a male during the era of Studio 54.

Clive Davis Denies Whitney Houston Movie Rumors

“On this night, after imbibing enough alcohol, I was open to responding to his sexual overtures,” he writes. “Was I nervous? Absolutely. Did the heavens open up? No. But it was satisfying.”

I’m not surprised he put this in his memoir. The man can sell the heck out of some records, so he certainly knows how to sell a book.

Move over, Britney Spears. British singer Adele is the most wanted woman in Las Vegas.

The Grammy-award winner is reportedly considering a residency in Las Vegas instead of traveling for a world tour. “Adele is top of the Vegas hit-list and she’s seriously considering it as an option,” a source told reporters. “She wants to get back to performing but doesn’t want to go on the road so soon after becoming a mum. A Vegas residency would mean she could settle with her family and record her third album all at once.”

Adele gave birth to her first child, a son, on Oct. 19. Her third album is said to be in the works.

Adele and Britney?!? Looks like I’m moving to Vegas too.

Justin Timberlake leaked his new song ‘Suit and Tie’ tonight and it’s disappointing upon first listen.

It almost makes one ned to be Suit and Tied down to hear it through to the end.  The song features a cameo by Jay-Z…and even Jay-Z is sub-par on this joint. Heck this isn’t a joint…it’s more like a candy cigarette from 1988.

The song reminds one of bad 80′s music and feels as unhip as a lot of us aging fans of the 80′s and 90′s usually feel when passing by MTV on our cable channels.

Timberlake has improved in remarkable ways as an actor over the last five years, but it appears that transformation has caused a regression with his musical talent.

However, it’s just one listen and one song. Maybe Suit and Tie will grow on us all and perhaps the rest of the album is a smashing hit like Justified.

R&B girl group Destiny’s Child is releasing a new album titled ‘Love Songs.’

Blake explained: “I lost my brother in a car wreck when I was 14-years-old. When I decided I wanted to be a country singer, my dad always told me, ‘Son, you should write a song about your brother.’ I lost my dad in January, and it’s so amazing to me that tonight even after he’s gone, he’s still right. I just needed the right person to write this song with and the right person to sing it.”

Miranda added, “Thank you, Blake, for allowing me to sing this beautiful song and write it with you. Thank you CMA and all of our peers for voting for us. It’s really emotional. We love y’all.”

These two are just too cute! Congrats to Miranda and Blake!
