collaborating with some unlikely partners on her latest project. Goldfrapp, Ladytron

Christina Aguilera is rumored to be collaborating with some unlikely partners on her latest project. Goldfrapp, Ladytron, and Sia Furler are all said to have a spot in the creative process for her fourth studio album, due out later this year. This comes as a vast departure from some of her past partnerships with pop staple makers such as DJ Premier, Rich Harrison, and Mark Ronson.
Aguilera confirmed she and Sia would be hitting the studio in January. Sia has already influenced some of Aguilera’s work; she was largely responsible for the “Beautiful” remake “You Are What You Are” that is included on the “Keeps Getting’ Better: A Decade of Hits” compilation.
Pitchfork Media has confirmed that the electro group Ladytron has been in talks with Aguilera about working together early this year. Goldfrapp, however, has yet to make a statement regarding the possible collaboration

Paris Hilton was born on February 17th, 1981

Paris Hilton was born on February 17th, 1981, to Rick and Kathy Hilton, making her the great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, founder of the Hilton hotels and source of the family fortune - estimated at $300 million. Her grandfather, Conrad "Nicky" Hilton, Jr., also brought some notoriety to the family, as he was the first of Elizabeth Taylor's many ex-husbands. Paris' younger sister, Nicky (born in 1983), shares the throne as co-heiress of the Hilton empire.

The outing comes as Miss Hilton is reportedly facing a $34 million dollar class action lawsuit after failing to appear in a series of scheduled appearances in Italy and Germany. Michael Marx, who organized a few of the events, told press: “Mediastar is not alone with the lawsuit. Paris Hilton also pulled out of appearances in Italy, postponed flights, threw the whole program over. After examination of all the facts and contracts it (suit) can even become more than 34 million dollars.”

Evanescence currently consists of Amy Lee (Vocals, Piano), Terry Balsamo (Guitar) and Tim McCord (Bass).

Evanescence formed in Arkansas in 1998 when Amy Lee and former guitarist Ben Moody (who would later write music for Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson) met at a church youth camp. They released their first album Fallen in 2003. Their debut single Bring me to Life was from the Daredevil film and was a massive hit. It featured guest vocals by Paul McCoy from 12 Stones. Singles Going Under and My Immortal were also released from the album.
In 2006 the band released The Door Open. The first single off the album was Call me when you’re sober.
The band are famous for two things, neither of them very positive. Firstly they are well reputed for going through several musicians - Amy Lee is the only original member of the band. Secondly they are seen as a Christian band - something which Amy Lee never wanted to be seen as. In 2003 after an interview where Amy Lee made comments about Christianity, many Christian record stores took their album off the shelves.

KISS American rock band formed in New York City in December 1972

Kiss (styled KISS in capitals) is an American rock band formed in New York City in December 1972. Easily identified by its members' face paint and flamboyant stage outfits, the group rose to prominence in the mid-1970s on the basis of their elaborate live performances, which featured fire breathing, blood spitting, smoking guitars, sword swallowing and pyrotechnics. Kiss has been awarded 24 gold albums to date. The band has sold over 19 million records in the United States and their worldwide sales exceeded 80 million albums as of 2004.The original lineup of Paul Stanley (vocals and rhythm guitar), Gene Simmons (vocals and bass guitar), Ace Frehley (lead guitar and vocals), and Peter Criss (drums, percussion and vocals) is the most successful and identifiable. With their makeup and costumes, they took on the personae of comic book-style characters: The Demon (Simmons), Starchild (Stanley), Spaceman (Frehley), and Catman (Criss). The band explains that the fans were the ones who ultimately chose their makeup designs. The "Demon" makeup reflected Simmons' cynicism and dark elements, as well as his love for comic books. Paul Stanley became the "Starchild" due to his tendency to be referred to as the "starry-eyed lover" and "hopeless romantic." Ace Frehley's "Spaceman" makeup was a reflection of him wanting to go for a ride in a space ship and supposedly being from another planet. Peter Criss' "Catman" makeup was in accordance with the belief that Criss had nine lives due to his rough childhood in Brooklyn. Due to creative differences, both Criss and Frehley were out of the group by 1982. The band's commercial fortunes had also waned considerably by that point.
In 1983, Kiss abandoned its makeup and enjoyed a commercial resurgence throughout the rest of the decade. Buoyed by a wave of Kiss nostalgia in the 1990s, the band announced a reunion of the original lineup (with makeup) in 1996. The resulting Kiss Alive/Worldwide/Lost Cities/Reunion Tour was the top-grossing act of 1996 and 1997. Criss and Frehley have since left Kiss again and have been replaced by Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer, respectively. The band continues to perform with makeup, while Stanley and Simmons have remained the only two constant members.
Kiss was named by VH1 as 10th on their list of the '100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock'. On September 23, 2009, Kiss was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame' ten years after becoming eligible.
