CHRIS CROONS FOR…GUM?

Fergie isn’t the only pro at product placement.

Chris Brown’s top 10 hit Forever isn’t just a hot song — it’s also a gum jingle. Listen carefully and you’ll hear the R&B star croon, “Double your pleasure/double your fun” in the chorus. Why? Because the song is an extended version of a new Doublemint ad written by Brown and scheduled to begin airing next month in 30-second spots for Wrigley’s chewing gum.

C.Brown isn’t alone. The campaign includes spots featuring R&B singer Ne-Yo doing his own take on Big Red’s “kiss a little longer” jingle. And Dancing With the Stars country singer Julianne Hough recorded a twangy version of Juicy Fruit’s “The taste is gonna move ya.”


NE-YO: LINDSAY IS “SO GOOD!”

Ne-Yo has worked with the likes of Jennifer Hudson and Leona Lewis, but hitmaker says Lindsay Lohan is the one singer who may surprise us all. As you may recall, he worked with La Lohan on a track called Bossy for her upcoming album.

Ne-Yo tells Billboard: “I will say this; we gave her a quality record and she did a ridiculously fabulous job. I was so shocked I had to call her and apologize for what I was thinking because she did so good. I think the world is gonna be surprised.”

Admittedly, however, there is only room for improvement after the musical travesty that is Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father).


HER NAME IS…WHAT’S HER NAME AGAIN?

Nicole Scherzinger hit up The Ivy in West Hollywood today with producer extradonaire Ne-Yo for some much-needed press.

So, what’s everyone’s favourite (former?) Pussycat Doll up to nowadays? She is a spokeswoman for Caress body wash and….well….that’s about it.

Hmm….did she not get a cut of Girlicious or something?

Joined by R&B impresario Ne-Yo, American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee and Vanessa Hudgens, star of the upcoming High School Musical 3, took the stage together to perform for the TNT Holiday special Christmas In Washington on Sunday night.

While McPhee went classic in a black form-fitting cocktail dress, 18-year-old Vanessa dazzled in a heavily embroidered minidress.

The annual event, which will air on December 12 at 10 PM on TNT, was hosted by none other than Dr. Phil and is aimed to officially kick off the holiday shopping season.

We’d tell you to tune in but we don’t support anything coming out of the White House these days….

Looks like distance really does make the heart grow fonder.

After they were spotted together leaving NYC hotspot Butter last night, Hayden Panettiere reuinted with songwriter Ne-Yo today for a Thanksgiving crafts project with Charles Pena, a resident of Ronald McDonald House in New York.

These two so-called singles are sure getting real chummy real fast. What could be next? A duet?


NEW COUPLE ALERT?

Well, well, well….what do we have here?

Herores cutie Hayden Panettiere and singer/producer Ne-Yo were spotted leaving celeb haute Butter together last night. Not only did they leave together but they also headed back to the same hotel at 2 AM in the morning.

Hmmm….could they be secretly dating? Or is Hayden the next actress-turned singer preparing to drop an album?
