Popstar Views

Celebrity book reports. Here is a sneak preview of some of the collections.

Meanwhile, as she continues on with her busy recording and filming duties, the High School Musical star must be glad to have settled a breach-of-contract lawsuit filed against her by her former lawyer.

She has a hit television show, a pair of platinum albums and a concert tour in which shows sell out in minutes and scalpers are selling $60 tickets for more than $1,000 on eBay.

Are you tired of the same formula - apparently many people are tiring of American Idol. For the first time since it became a winter TV staple back in 2003, "Idol's" season premiere did not improve on the previous year's debut.

As far as pop star phenomenons go, Miley Cyrus, aka Destiny Hope Cyrus, certainly is one. At just 16 years of age, the bright personality of this moderately talented female offspring of Billy Ray Cyrus has been effectively parlayed into a several-million-dollar property by none other than media giant Disney (NYSE: DIS).

But the pop star has continued to make headlines with a speculated same-sex romance (or least camera-ready make-outs).

While her boyfriend Zac Efron is in the hospital recovering from an emergency appendectomy, Vanessa Hudgens spent the day with another High School Musical co-star pal.

An independent Miami label says it plans to release never-before-heard Beatles live recordings made in 1962 at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany.
