Samir Hussein/Redferns via Getty ImagesDespite the fact that George Michael's rep said the singer only suffered "superficial cuts and bruises" in a car crash last week, he's still in the hospital, reports the BBC.
George was a passenger in a Range Rover that was involved in a car accident in the U.K. last Thursday, and he was found on the road by paramedics, the BBC says. He was then airlifted to a medical center in London.
The spokeswoman confirmed to the BBC that George was still in the hospital, and added, "We are keen to stress it's purely as a precaution for observation. He did suffer a couple of bumps and bruises to the head, and that's why they are keeping him in -- to keep an eye on him."
She added, "He is doing better. He is making good progress and is looking forward to getting out."
But the British paper The Sun paints a more serious picture of the accident, which did not involve a third party. A driver on the scene, who was forced to hit the brakes when she saw George in the road, tells the paper, "I saw blood everywhere and a man on the ground...I asked what had gone on and was told he tried to open the car door and shut it again because it wasn’t shut properly and apparently fell out at 70 mph."
She added, "There was a nasty cut on his forehead and the back of his head. There was blood all down his face and on his teeth. He was breathing and conscious but in shock...He was lucky he didn’t die.”
The hit-making singer appears to have nine lives. According to Billboard, in 2004, he was involved in two car accidents, and another one in 2006. His license was yanked in 2007, but when it was restored, he got into another accident: In 2010, the car he was driving slammed into a photo processing store in London. He was then sentenced to eight weeks in prison after a judge found he'd been driving under the influence of pot and prescription medication.
In addition, in 2011, George suffered a bout of pneumonia that nearly killed him, and then last year canceled a tour due to "major anxiety," a side effect of that near-death experience.

"My open hands represent the energy of giving and receiving, and that's what a SongVersation is," she tells Essence of her fifth studio album. On the SongVersation cover, India is wearing pink from head to toe. The shade has always been one of her favorites, she tells Essence, adding, "It's soft and feminine and represents the heart."
India tells Essence that she hopes to "spark conversation" with her new album. Back in March, when she released the artwork for her first single, "Cocoa Butter," Twitter was abuzz with allegations that India had lightened her skin color. She denied the accusations, explaining that changes in her appearance were the result of lighting. She also tweeted, "I wouldn't endanger my health that way... i'm so in love with myself I have no DESIRE to BLEACH myself."
India's SongVersation album hits stores June 25.

Capitol NashvilleDarius Rucker is back on top of the country chart with his latest hit, "Wagon Wheel," and he's just released his third country album, True Believers, which appears destined to be another big seller. Though Darius has established himself as one of country's top stars, he still has to deal with some small-minded people as the only black man in the format.
Things got especially heated earlier this week when a Twitter user told Darius to "Leave country to the white folk." Darius shot back, "WOW. Is this 2013 or 1913." He then added, " I'll take my grand ole Opry membership and leave your racism."
Darius tells Rolling Stone that tweet was shocking to him. He says, "Sometimes people will say, 'You're not country,' and I know what that means, because they can't be talking about the music. But when somebody says to leave country music to the white folks, that is unbelievable to me...But that's life."
Darius knows he'll have to deal with that kind of ignorance in some shape or fashion for the rest of his life.
He says, "I'm a black guy in country music, and there are people who don't like that. But it's not going to make me quit."

Paul Redmond/Getty ImagesFergie had better tells her band mates in the Black Eyed Peas to button their lips: It appears as though one of them may have accidentally revealed the gender of her baby.
Speaking to In Touch magazine on Saturday, Black Eyed Peas member apl.de.ap said, referring to his future relationship with Fergie's unborn baby, "Uncle apl.de.ap always gonna be around. She's probably going to be...." and then he stopped himself.
"Oh wait, he or she, is probably gonna be on tour with us, and I can't wait," he continued. "Fergie's been wanting this, and she's a great woman and she's going to be a great mother, too."
Many assumed Fergie and hubby Josh Duhamel are having a boy, because back in March, Josh referred to the baby as a "he," but he may have just been speaking generally.
Fergie revealed her pregnancy on Twitter back in February.

Facebook.com/RiseAgainstRise Against is celebrating the tenth anniversary of their Revolutions Per Minute album by putting out special version of the release. Titled RPM 10, it includes a number of previously-unreleased demo versions. To give you a taste of the demo tracks, the band is offering a preview of an early version of their single “Like the Angel,” which is currently streaming at RollingStone.com.
Frontman Tim McIlrath says he feels the demo version of the track helps to showcase that the song is more than just a political anthem. "While politics play an unapologetic role in what we do, they do not consume our entire artistic output,” McIlrath tells Rolling Stone. “'Like the Angel' is an early example of the kind of songs that found their ways onto all of our records, and how we've always had one foot in politics and one foot in the personal. We loved heavy music but also songs that had a poppy or hooky side to them."
Here is the track list for RPM 10:
"Black Masks & Gasoline"
"Heaven Knows"
"Dead Ringer"
"Halfway There"
"Like the Angel"
"Voices Off Camera"
"Blood-Red, White & Blue"
"Broken English"
"Last Chance Blueprint"
"To the Core"
"Torches"
"Amber Changing"
"Black Masks & Gasoline" (demo)

Facebook.com/ChiefKeefChief Keef has been released from police custody in the Atlanta area after being arrested Monday for allegedly smoking weed at a swanky hotel. That's according to TMZ, which shared audio from a Le Meridien hotel security guard's call to 911.
The unidentified guard reports that he was tracking down the source of a leak at the hotel when he knocked on the door of Keef's room. That's when he says he caught a glimpse of a "bunch of gentlemen rolling marijuana." The guard says he didn't get a good look at the group, but recalls there were at least "three black males" -- two with long dreadlocks and one female.
"I announced myself as 'security,' and they let me in the room, as if it didn't even matter," the security guard reports to the dispatcher. Police were sent to the hotel, and Keef was reportedly arrested. In a tweet early Tuesday morning, Keef wrote, "Jus Got Out Of Dekalb County jail In Atlanta Mad As f**k."
Just earlier this year, Keef was sentenced to 60 days in juvenile detention after violating his probation by holding a rifle during an on-camera interview last year with the music website Pitchfork.

Island Def JamThe-Dream is streaming his IV Play album online, one week before the project arrives in stores. All 14 songs from the standard edition are available on Vevo, so that means fans can check out full versions of tracks featuring Beyonce, Gary Clark Jr., Jay-Z and more.
On Monday night, The-Dream and his "Where Have You Been?" collaborator Kelly Rowland performed their song together on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In a tweet Monday, Dream messaged his duet partner, writing, "K.Row..... Thank You from Me and the Lovecult for being here for me Today! Jay Leno...I appreciate it soooo much. I LOVE you!"
The-Dream and Kelly were supposed to kick off their co-headlining Lights Out tour this Thursday at Myth in St. Paul, Minnesota, but plans have changed now that Kelly will be on the judges’ panel when The X Factor returns this fall.
A note on Myth's website announces, "Due to X Factor-related scheduling conflicts, Kelly Rowland & The Dream’s Lights Out Tour has been canceled for the time being. Refunds available at the point of purchase. We are very sorry for any inconvenience." A similar message went out in a tweet from The Midland venue in Kansas City, Missouri, where the tour was scheduled to stop on Friday.
There's no word yet on whether additional dates will be scrapped. Many venues were still advertising tickets. Right now, The-Dream is preparing for the May 28 release of his IV Play album. A deluxe version of the set includes four additional bonus tracks, for a total of 18 songs.

Henry Diltz/Elektra RecordsIn the wake of Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek's death Monday at age 74 after a battle with bile-duct cancer, the group's two surviving members, guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore, have penned tributes to their longtime band mate.
After issuing a brief initial statement about Manzarek's passing on Monday, Krieger later posted a longer homage on his official Facebook page. In the message, Krieger notes that Manzarek and late Doors singer Jim Morrison "were the two most unusual people I have ever known." He then points out that while Morrison "was obviously a genius" whose unique qualities were immediately apparent, Ray "was a late bloomer."
Krieger continues, "The real Ray didn't appear until after Jim was gone. He was constantly doing projects with different people, producing, playing with different poets. He always saw the good side of people, and that was his genius."
The guitarist goes on to praise Manzarek for being "the only guy at UCLA that saw something good about Jim. Everyone else thought of Jim as a phony or worse. He saw the genius of Jim's words and the rest is history."
Lastly, Krieger notes that Ray "sure did influence my life, and I hope yours [too]. I'll always be grateful to John for introducing me to Ray and Jim, and I'll never forget them."
As for Densmore, he writes of Manzarek in an extended Twitter post, "There was no keyboard player on the planet more appropriate to support Jim Morrison's words." Then, speaking directly to his late band mate, he declares, "Ray, I felt totally in sync with you musically. It was like we were of one mind, holding down the foundation for Robby and Jim to float on top of. I will miss my musical brother."
Meanwhile, a TMZ report has revealed some new details about Manzarek's illness and the treatment he sought to cure it. Sources close to the keyboardist's side group The Manzarek-Rogers Band revealed to TMZ that Ray was at the RoMed Clinic in Rosenheim, Germany, the facility in which he died, because it's a world-class clinic that specializes in treating the rare cancer that killed him. The sources reported that Manzarek told his band mates about his condition in March, and he went to Germany not long after that.

Show Dog/UniversalWith the devastating images coming from those deadly tornadoes in Oklahoma, Trace Adkins wants to remind everyone about the Red Cross relief effort already under way in the affected areas. During his Tuesday appearance on Live with Kelly and Michael, Trace said, "I've got a lot of friends in Oklahoma and yeah, there are Red Cross volunteers on the scene right now. They were there Sunday, as soon as this started happening."
Trace won All-Star Celebrity Apprentice on Sunday, and he donated the $1.5 million he won on the show to the Red Cross. That organization was on the scene when Trace's Nashville home burned two years ago, and he's been working on their behalf ever since.
Trace explains, "We always see the huge, you know, the natural disaster response, and the things that the Red Cross does, but it's 365, you know, 24/7."

Sara De Boer/Startraks Photo via ABCMadonna's MDNA tour, which just won her the Top Touring Artist honor at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night, is coming to DVD in September.
That's according to the star herself, who told Billboard that despite rumors she's been working on a new album, "I just finished editing the DVD of my concert, so I haven't had any free time."
Speaking with Extra, Madonna said she loved her MDNA tour because two of her four children got to be a part of the production. "To me that’s my idea of fun, to be creative, to do what I love to do and see my kids working around me and earning their way in life," she explained. "My daughter [Lourdes] worked in the costume department, and she loved it. My son [Rocco] was in the show, and he loved it.”
If you can't wait until September for the MDNA tour DVD, the concert will air on EPIX on June 22. There's a trailer for it online now.
Madonna also told Extra a funny story about posing for a photo with Kim Kardashian at the star-studded Met Gala earlier this month. It turns out it isn't the first time that Madonna met the reality star, who's expecting a baby with boyfriend Kanye West.
"I met her years and years ago when she was a little girl, believe it or not," Madonna laughed. "She told me she was a huge fan of mine, and it was during the time I was wearing all of the rubber bracelets on my arms. I took off all of the bracelets and gave them to her and then I completely forgot about it. She reminded me when I saw her the other night. Now she's a pregnant lady!"

Sara De Boer/Startraks Photo via ABCNow that Avril Lavigne's new single "Here's to Never Growing Up" is out, a new album will follow, with something special for fans. Avril says she and her fiance, Nickelback's Chad Kroeger, have immortalized their love on the new record by singing together.
Chad and Avril co-wrote several songs for the album, including the single, but she tells MTV News that he also joins her for a duet on her album, which will her fifth studio disc. It's due in September. Meanwhile, the couple is busy planning their wedding.
"It's going pretty smooth. My wedding planner, she knows what she is doing, but there's a lot that goes into it," Avril tells MTV. "Planning a wedding is almost like a full-time job. There's a lot of details."
The singer revealed to E! that she's already picked out her wedding dress, so that's done, but a lot remains to take care of. Is Chad helping out? Avril tells E!, "Of course he's been really involved. He's also been really cool with just letting me kinda taking the wedding in the direction I want to take it in."
For his part, Chad tells E! that his involvement consists of taking in "a lot of the things that are presented to me, and I look at them on paper, and when I'm asked my opinion, I offer it very gently." He adds, "That's the smartest thing I can possibly do because that big day is not about me. That big day is about her." Smart man.
Avril adds that while she and Chad want the nuptials to be "a very big event," she added, "At the same time it's small and it's just close friends and close family."

IAmBeyonce.comThe Beyonce headlines have been nonstop for weeks now, but with all the chatter about concert dates, pregnancy rumors and H&M ads, the BeyHive has been calling for new music. On Monday, fans got their wish -- at least, sort of.
A full version of Beyonce's "Grown Woman" track is now on the Web, and though it's not clear whether the song is in its final state, it's the closest fans have gotten to a new single from the singer. Reportedly produced by Timbaland and co-written by The-Dream, "Grown Woman" features Bey declaring, "I can look fast if I want/I can go slow all night long" over a lush, tribal beat.
A snippet of the song debuted last month as part of Bey's "Mirrors" commercial for Pepsi, and later somebody at a concert in Paris posted footage of Mrs. Carter performing the new material. The audio from the show was a little rough, but now fans can finally hear Beyonce loud and clear. "It ain't no fun if a girl can't have none/You really wanna know how I got it like that 'cause I got a cute face and my booty so fat..." she sings.
There's no official word on whether "Grown Woman" will appear on Beyonce's upcoming album. The same goes for "Standing on the Sun," which she debuted in March as part of her H&M summer collection advertisement.
In other Beyonce news, she's been posting new photos to her Tumblr page. Along with pictures from her trip to Cuba and photos from the road, Bey also shared a snapshot of her daughter, Blue Ivy. With her back to the camera, 1-year-old Blue sits in her miniature director's chair, which displays her initials: "BIC." She sports a pink tutu, matching top and a head full of tiny pigtails.

Courtesy: Katy PerryDo Twilight fans have Katy Perry to blame for the breakup of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson? One source says yes, in a way.
The two stars reportedly split over the past few days, when Pattinson was spotted moving out of Stewart's house, according to E! And a source tells E! that Katy, who's been friendly with the couple for a long time, "played a role, as one of many reasons" in the breakup. For example, earlier this month, Katy and Pattinson were spotted leaving the Met Gala in New York City together.
However, K-Stew's cheating scandal with her Snow White & the Huntsman director may also have contributed to the split, according to E!. People had reported that Kristen and Robert had already been fighting a lot and not spending any time together. Meanwhile, Katy's been vacationing with friends in the Bahamas.
