Madonna Denies New Album Title Is 'Licorice'

Madonna has dismissed reports her final Warner Bros studio album will be called “Licorice.” The pop superstar's broadcaster friend Larry Lick played two new tracks, "Candy Shop" and "The Beat Goes On," from her upcoming disc on his Sirius Satellite Radio show OutQ on Thursday.

Lick then went on to claim the new disc is called Licorice and will be released in spring 2008.

But in an email to Reuters, Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg writes: "Sirius does not know what they are talking about. Wrong title. Release date wrong etc."

Madonna will part company with Warner Bros once the album is released and embark on a new initiative with concert promoter Live Nation. The 10-year deal encompasses all of Madonna's future music and music-related businesses.

Eve Wants Death Of Kanye West's Mother To Act As A Warning

Rapper Eve hopes the tragic death of Kanye West’s mother just a day after she had cosmetic surgery will discourage others from going under the knife.

Donda West passed away last month from possible complications following plastic surgery, and Kanye's friend Eve wants the sad event to serve as a reminder of the potential dangers such procedures present.

She says, "We live in a society of quick fixes. The cost is your life. Hopefully, this will make people think more."

When she heard the news of Donda's death, Eve immediately sent her condolences via email to Kanye, but she wants to pass on her sympathies in person.

She adds, "I sent him an email, but I'm sure he got a million and one emails. I want to give him my hugs and blessings."

Fergie Denies Plastic Surgery Claims, Criticizes Magazine

Fergie has slammed an American magazine for suggesting she has undergone cosmetic surgery on her nose and eyebrows. Two pictures of The Black Eyes Peas star - one from the 1980s, and one from 2007 - are printed side-by-side in the current issue of Us Weekly, and a surgeon tells the publication it's likely Fergie has had a rhinoplasty procedure.

But the 32-year-old has denied the claims, and admits such speculation upsets her so much she has seen a therapist.

Fergie says, "One of those (celebrity) magazines says I've had a nose job and an eyebrow lift, which is completely untrue. Personally, I see a therapist. It's hard, it hurts my feelings. I call my hypnotherapist and cry and let it go. That's what I do (to cope). I think that they nitpick these days so much and it's just got to the point where it's ridiculous."

And Fergie isn't the only celebrity angry with this week's issue of Us Weekly - actress Scarlett Johansson is threatening the magazine with legal action over claims she had undergone plastic surgery on her nose.
