Jesse McCartney bared his “gay” side in a recent interview with AXM magazine. Jesse was asked if he has to have a Brokeback Mountain style co-star who is close his age, who would it be? Jesse answered Emile Hirsch and Shia LaBeouf. I recently came across this photo of someone resembling Jesse McCartney nude. I hope it’s him..lol..

Jesse McCartney is not really taken seriously, much less in Music. But recently, he surprised the music world when he co-wrote with OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder the #1 hit single “Bleeding Love” for Leona Lewis, the biggest selling UK single of 2007, and a #1 in most countries in the world. “Bleeding Love” is a critically-acclaimed pop song. In his recent AXM magazine interview, he was asked about it:

We have to ask about the Leona Lewis’ track Bleeding Love which you co-wrote. That’s pretty amazing…
Well I’ll tell ya, it certainly took Ryan and I by surprise. (Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic). We never expected it to do what it did. It couldn’t of happened to a better person too. I met Leona at a bar, we had a few drinks and hung out.

Most songs these days have 12 co-writers. This was just two…
It was a fun record to write. We were in a mood that day that we just had to get it down on paper, we knew it felt like a really good song.

Wasn’t it a shame to let it go?
Er… no. I think we both kind of decided it did need a female vocalist. I recorded it, it’s actually on a European version of the album. I cut it because it didn’t fit with the other material. And we decided it would sound better with a diva, a big pop diva.

Jesse McCartney recently shifted to R&B with his new album, “Departure” with the hit carrier single, “Leavin.”

New pop sensation Leona Lewis has triumphantly appeared on American Idol April 24. Leona Lewis was discovered by American Idol judge Simon Cowell technically because Simon Cowell created X Factor where Leona Lewis won. X Factor is like the American Idol of the UK, or should i say the UK Idol..

Leona Lewis on American Idol will be on the heels of Mariah Carey mentoring the American Idol 7 contestants on April 16. And of course Leona Lewis singing style is being compared to Mariah Carey. Some say Leona Lewis at her best now is just a watered down Mariah Carey at her best in the 90’s.

Here’s Leona Lewis live on Good Morning America singing her no. 1 single, “Bleeding Love” from the no. 1 album Spirit.
