Amy Winehouse is making headlines again, but this time it’s on her own terms and not that of her drug-addled alter ego.
Winehouse was outfitted with a new set of pearly whites this weekend, repairing that sly grin on the cover of Back to Black that deteriorated in the wake of her excessive substance abuse, according ot Perez Hilton.
Perhaps more noteworthy though, though it’s hard to tell when it comes to Winehouse news, is the record label she launch today.
According to NME, Winehouse’s Lioness Records is officially in business. The first release will be from none other than Dionne Bromfield, Winehouse’s 13-year-old goddaughter, called Introducing Dionne Bromfield. Winehouse told NME she named the label after a necklace her grandmother gave her, and the label’s format was inspired by legendary Motown and 2Tone Records.

Katy Perry and Avril Lavigne will be the latest stars to sit alongside Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul’s replacement Kara DioGuardiduring the last round of auditions in Los Angeles.
Throughout auditions, the show has welcome Victoria Beckham, Shania Twain, Joe Jonas, Neil Patrick Harris, Mary J. Blige and Kristen Chenoweth to have their say.

Weeks ago, former Panic! At The Disco guitarist Ryan Ross and Jon Walker left the band to go off and do their own thing, leaving remaining members Spencer Smith and Brendon Urie to search for a guitar and a bass player to perform an upcoming tour.
Since the band is set to carry out Bink-182 tour dates, they needed a new guitarist and drummer. Ian Crawford will be replacing Ross on guitar, while singer/songwriter Dallon Weekes will be playing bass for Panic!
“Yeah, we’ve taken on a couple of new guys for the tour. They’re friends, so the decision was easy. Plus, we’re really excited to play with them as musicians,” Smith told MTV News. “Ian is probably the most talented guitar player that me and Brendon have ever played with, and Dallon is a really nice guy and a really great bassist. It’s new. Like I said, we’re really excited.”

“Follow My Lead,” Justin Timberlake’s new single, had its MySpace Music debut on Tuesday (November 18).
The song was made for a Shriners Hospitals for Children’s fundraiser and features vocals from Esmée Denters.
The track was recorded live at a Justin Timberlake and Friends concert for the Shriners Hospital for Children. The song opens with an intro from JT followed by vocals from Danters.
Some of the lyrics include, “Hands up, I show you what I do, I got my stance up/ Everybody knows this is the anthem/ Everybody knows this is the anthem.”
“Future Sexy/Love Sounds” was released in 2006. The musician has not released another album since then. A spokesperson for Timberlake told MTV News the singer is not working on a solo record but is in-studio writing and producing songs.
The song “Follow My Lead” can be purchased for 99 cents or added to a playlist for MySpace Music users.
There was a 19 year gap between the last “Indiana Jones” film and “Crystal Skull,” but will fans have to wait this long for another movie?
When asked about the possibility of another “Indiana Jones” movie, Harrison Ford told MTV News “I don’t know. If we come up with a good idea.”
According to Ford, a new Jones film would depend mainly on writer George Lucas, “With some general input, he goes off and searches for the MacGuffin and then stumbles into a story. And at some point, we have a chance to take a look at it and give some input.”
When asked by MTV News if Lucas has found this “MacGuffin,” Ford says, “No, we’re still in the primary stages.”
And if ever another actor was cast to play the adventurer in future films 50 years from now, Ford would have no problems, “The very simple addition of numbers would make it clear that in 50 years I will not give a sh– at all. I will so not care.”
Big boi, a member of the band “Outkast” says that his record is still set for release, despite a delay.
“The South got something to say, and we gonna keep on talking,” he said to MTV News. “Me and ‘Dre were on the conference call [recently],” he continued. “He’s working on his album; my album is done. We’re gonna wait until the top of the year — January or February — to put it out. Then ‘Dre is gonna come hit y’all, and [then] we’re gonna do The Outkast album. So y’all gonna get three records from the ‘Kast next year.”
Big Boi has other things going on besides working on records. On Tuesday November 25, the rapper is set to appear on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” playing a greedy rapper who gets involved with an animal-smuggling-ring.
