Beyonce Jealous Of Katy Perry?

Beyonce seems a little envious of other superstar musicians who have their own “origins” documentary, so she’s going for it, herself!

Lately, musicians like Justin Bieber and Katy Perry have been producing documentaries detailing their rise to fame and their musical POV.  Now, B’s representatives at agency ICM have ibeen shopping a nonfiction film to Hollywood studios about the celebrity’s life and career.

Not only will Beyonce star in the piece, but she wants to direct and produce the documentary, as well!

The LA Times reports that the doc will be music and personal testimonial, blending concert footage with confessional interview. There have been 20 minutes shopped around to many distributors, and from the looks of Beyonce’s life, it seems like an appealing project. And you know the last year of her life has been pretty darn colorful, as well: she’s released a top-selling album (“4″), split from her longtime manager (her father), and had a baby. Lots to talk about, and lots for an audience of fans to enjoy!

What do you think about Beyonce’s new project?

Katy Perry claims she “did everything” to save her marriage

Katy Perry’s 3D documentary “Part of Me” opens up on July 5th. The movie will not only explore her career highs – but her personal lows as well.

Fans will find some of those personal moments pretty surprising, considering she is very candid about her split from her ex-husband, Russell Brand.

The film picks up just a few months after the two tied the knot, as Perry embarks on her biggest tour to date, the California Dreams Tour. Fans witness Perry put in hours of hard work preparing for the tour and traveling to hundreds of different cities. Yet, with the success that she was having onstage, it was offstage where things were falling apart.

It seems her new marriage and a grueling tour schedule were not mixing well, but it was not from lack of trying: Perry was adamant that while on her nearly yearlong tour, she take time out to see her husband, but in the end, it just couldn’t save the marriage.

At one point, while flying to one of her tour stops, Perry admits to the camera, “I’m trying to keep my marriage alive.”

“Part of Me” gives fans a rare glimpse inside a celebrity marriage, with Brand featured throughout the film. Some moments are touching, like when the comedian comes to wish her well on the opening night of her tour, yet some are heartbreaking to watch. In one scene, Perry is crying uncontrollably, delaying the start time of the concert, but like a true professional, she chokes back the tears and puts on a brave face for her fans.

Perry talks candidly about Brand in the film, revealing that it was her skyrocketing career that could have played into the downfall of her marriage. “I thought to myself, ‘When I find that person that’s going to be my life partner, I won’t ever have to choose [between the partner and my career]. They won’t be threatened or have weird motives.’ Then I started to realize, that’s not true,” she admits. Yet, when asked in the film whether she still misses Brand, Perry begins to cry and admits that she does, but says she did everything she could to make it work.

“I have that same belief system with everything, from career to my life to my personal life, everything. And I will do everything it takes to not fail,” she shares. “And I did everything it took, but it still failed.”

Perry recently told MTV News that even though the subject of her divorce is difficult to deal with, she felt she would be doing her fans a disservice if she didn’t include it in the film.

“The truth will always prevail,” Perry said. “Everything has to be handled integrously and appropriately, and it’s not nice to air all your dirty laundry, because that stinks, so I had to be very delicate with the situation, but I couldn’t avoid the elephant in the room,” she explained. “If you were to have seen that movie and walked out and [my breakup] wasn’t at all mentioned, like it never happened, you’d be like, ‘Eh, this is weird. What is she trying to hide?’ I don’t like to hide.”

I’m actually really excited to see her documentary, I think it’s going to be really interesting. I read somewhere that Russell begged Katy to take him out of her movie, but she refused. I can understand why! I don’t think Russell was a stand-up guy in that situation.

Here are some new pictures of Katy arriving for an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel last night.

Katy Perry: “I’m Still A Good Christian Girl.”

Katy Perry wants to bare it all in her upcoming 3-D documentary, “Part of Me,” but still leaves some questions and parts of her life to the imagination.

WiLD 94.9′s Nessa recently caught up with Perry, who said she tried very hard to showcase her true self in the film.

On makeup: “I took my makeup off! Oh, everyone is screaming around the world, ‘The horror,’” she said jokingly, adding that she wasn’t scared to show her bare face. “Look, I don’t always want to look bloated with zits, but it’s real, it’s human, right? We’re not always so pretty, and sometimes that can bring people together.”

On playing her music during sex: “I’m not a narcissist,” she shouted. “OK, I’m a narcissist, but that would be over the line. Having sex to your own song, that’s horrible. I’m a good Christian girl.”

Oh really, Perry?  She wouldn’t comment on threesomes or about her favorite sexual position, but she did comment about a possible collaboration with her good buddy Rihanna: “No. But we’re going to have sex.”

Classy!

Katy Perry stops by the Ellen Degeneres show!

Katy Perry makes an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Tuesday, May 22nd. Katy talks with Ellen about her upcoming film “Katy Perry: Part Of Me” and why she thinks it was important to show all sides of her life while shooting the film.

Katy Perry on her film “Part of Me”

Ellen: Like you said, you shot the good, the bad. Who knows what’s going to happen in your life when you start shooting things? You got married during that time.

Katy: I did.

Ellen: And then that didn’t turn out to last and that part of it is still in there?

Katy: I thought it was important for me..First of all, I thought it was important to show everything in between. I think sometimes people think that we’re perfect and we know we’re not perfect, at all. I think it’s important start breaking down the idea that to achieve your dream you always have to be perfect or flawless or live in some kind of fantasy world. So that’s why I decided to put everything into the film. In the most tasteful way. But mostly it’s about how I go there and the ride along the way which can be bumpy but mostly it was extremely fun…

I actually really want to see her movie. From what I’ve seen so far it looks like it will be really interesting!

A very blonde Olivia Wilde films a commercial for Revlon in NYC!

Olivia Wilde is one of Revlon’s new brand ambassadors. She got all dolled up for a new Revlon commercial in NYC yesterday afternoon.

While she’s not shooting commercials for Revlon, the actress recently produced a documentary titled “Baseball in the Time of Chloera”, which is a film about the cholera epidemic in Haiti.

Asked to tell what drew Haiti to her periphery in a new interview with Huffington Post, the 28-year-old actress explained, “My mom is a journalist and she did a piece for CBS news in 1987. I went with her after that, and fell in love with Haiti. And then Bryn and I met the same people in LA who gave us an opportunity to go to Haiti and to be useful. Then I started going every few months. It’s definitely one of my favorite places on earth. There is so much beauty, in addition to its troubles. Hopefully the film will allow people to see the beautiful side of Haiti, and the people. And maybe go there themselves and see why it’s a country worth saving, acknowledging, and caring about instead of allowing it to be swallowed up into the pit of poverty. It’s been like that for too long.”

Olivia added, “And the amazing thing is that it’s all doable. The UN does have this incredible budget, if they could allocate a huge chunk of that to eradicating cholera, they could also eradicate several other waterborne diseases. Through sanitation water projects, they could save thousands of innocent lives. And then Haiti could start getting back on its feet. There are so many projects that David and Bryn are involved with that are all about sustainable health. This is not just a Band-Aid. This is about allowing this country to thrive in the way it really can and should. The people there are incredible. I love it there. I’m excited to go next week, and we’ll be going there for the rest of our lives.”

I’m not sure what I think about Olivia as a blonde. I think she’s much prettier as a brunette.

Demi Lovato admits to using cocaine, claims club promoters fed her with drugs to keep her coming back!

Demi Lovato is coming clean with the fact that she has abused cocaine in her past. Not only did she admit she has used cocaine in her past, she claims club promoters offered her drugs and alcohol in order to get her to return to their venue.

Demi entered rehab in 2010 for issues with an eating disorder, drug abuse, self mutiliation and depression.

When asked in a new magazine interview, she was asked if she had ever taken cocaine. “It’s something I don’t really want to talk about. What I can say is that I was depressed. I would come off stage in front of 18,000 people and suddenly be alone in a hotel room. I’d come crashing down and would try and find a way to recreate that feeling to stay up.”

She also admits that club promoters were enablers. “Promoters gave me drugs and alcohol in restaurants or clubs. They wanted me to come back so I would be seen there. They were basically kissing my ass.”

“I thought they were my friends. I thought I was having fun. Being a celebrity can be dangerous. Nobody says “no”. That’s why so many end up overdosing and dying. It could definitely have happened to me.”

She spoke with Fabulous magazine, and during the interview she also opened up about cutting herself. “It started with my wrists. People saw that, so I cut in places they couldn’t see. You do it because you feel so bad inside. You don’t know how to take it out other than on yourself.”

After a fight with a backup dancer during a tour with the Jonas Brothers, Demi entered rehab. She said she wanted to quit, but her mother pursuaded her to stay. “It was really, really hard and scary. I was homesick and lonely and several times I thought f*** it, I’m leaving,” she said.

“But my mum told me I would regret it. This was my only chance. I had 14 hours of therapy a day. I listened to music and learned to knit. When I finally left, it was like being let out of prison.”

Good for her, for being so honest and open.

Demi Lovato opens up about her MTV documentary, “Why not air all my secrets?”

How many of you caught Demi Lovato’s MTV documentary, “Demi Lovato: Stay Strong,” earlier this week? I watched it, and I thought she did an amazing job. It was a very moving, interesting documentary. The singer/actress opened up about the lows that led her to seek treatment in 2010. The documentary follows Lovato as she returns on tour, celebrates her first post-rehab Thanksgiving, and visits the Illinois treatment facility where she lived for several months.

While her success came easy, Lovato was fighting an inner struggle that she didn’t know how to fix. “I had so many issues that were underneath, that needed to be taken care of, and we kept putting Band-Aids over it. It literally drove me insane,” she recalls. “I was not eating, and purging, and self-harming. It was really difficult to be able to stop.”

In between her confessions, fans are treated to behind-the-scenes footage of the star as she preps for her first tour since 2010, when she left her trek with the Jonas Brothers early to enter rehab. She notes that this tour will help her “face her fears” about hitting the road. “Without music, it would be really, really hard to survive and really, really hard to stay in recovery,” she adds.

“Stay Strong” is also about her fans and the relationship she share with them. “My favorite part of touring is the connection I make with my fans: It’s me and them,” she explains. “We’re strangers coming together over music, and I think that’s so beautiful.”

But, it’s also about her struggles, then and now, and her focus to stay on track. “This is a daily battle that I will face for the rest of my life,” she says. “Everyone kind of made me a role model, and I hated that. I was partying, I was self-medicating. I was always stressing out. I felt like I was living a lie. I felt guilt and shame. I decided to take it out on myself. I harmed myself. It was my way of taking my own shame and my own guilt out on myself, and I was just depressed.”

While she could have kept her demons and struggles to herself, she says, “Creativity is what helps me escape a lot of my inner demons. Why not air all my secrets? Why not share my story because some people need to hear it?”

As the special wraps, Demi sings her triumphant single “Skyscraper” and says, “I don’t think I’m fixed. People think that you’re like a car in a body shop. You go in, they fix you, and you’re out. It takes constant fixing.”

While there will always be a struggle, one thing is new for Demi: She can now have fun and focus on herself. “Now, the tour is over. I want to be spontaneous,” she notes, explaining that while she might get days off, her recovery doesn’t. “I don’t think there is the finish line. I think you just keep going, until you retire. But even then, I’ll just continue to be working because that’s what I love to do.”

I’m sure MTV will re-air this special several times over the next couple weeks. You owe it to yourself to check it out!

Here are some new pictures of Demi leaving Sirius XM in NYC.
