In a year when Ashlee, Lindsay, and just about every other female celeb went from brunette/redhead to blonde, actor and singer Jesse McCartney has decided to work on his pop star image by going the other way. He's dyed his golden locks for an acting role in "Keith" and is also working on a new album with a grittier edge.
J-Mac says he wants to transition to a more mature image and to show the world that he is more than marketed product -- like some pop tarts. "I wanted to show people that there's a little bit more than lip-synching in the pop world because I think that's a common misconception right now," he said.
"There's a lot of junk out there, and it's kind of hard to justify a point when there's a lot of pop singers out now — without mentioning any names — who don't sing."
In a current interview with MTV.com, the "Beautiful Soul" singer says he's been writing tunes since summer and will begin recording in February: "Lyrically, it definitely will be discussing issues that I've dealt with in the last two or three years, whether it be fame, fortune, my travels or stuff that's happened in my personal life," Jesse said. "I was 15 when I recorded Beautiful Soul, so by the time this new record comes out — that was like four years ago — the material will certainly ... have a little bit older appeal."
Once he wraps filming "Keith" he'll be touring in January to do more promotions for "Beautiful Soul" which has just been released in Europe. After that, Jesse says, he's looking forward to moving on.
"You know, the first record is pretty much [stale]," he joked. "I've sang 'Beautiful Soul' like 9 million times."

Well, I'm quite sure that Jesse doesn't read this page, but I'd love to say my opinion :D:D
So... actually I can't say I love him 'cuz I DON'T KNOW HIM !! I know him only from videos and songs, but I can say that he looks really cool and I hope he really is... BUT I LOVE HIS MUSIC AND SONGS SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel that he feels what he sings and that's most important :)
I REALLY WOULD LOVE HIM TO NOT FORGET ABOUT POLAND DOING HIS PLAN OF THE TOUR AROUND EUROPE :P :) There are also his fans !!!!

Posted by: Hilary Duff | April 4, 2007 9:54 PM
kay so to start off with, you all are rabid mindless fangirls who do not realize this is a gossip site and not Jesse's personal blog and if it was you would scare out of his mind.. I mean actually used 137 exclamtion points consecutively, that may be a new world record... oh btw even if Jesse wasn't in relationship he would be going with Emily (my friend) and not YOU MINDLESS DRONES OH btw Jesse McCartney is a pervert in his songs not to mention I shudder at even his silouhette and his visage, well I don't think I can mention in polite conversation what my reaction is... oh and for you imbeciles visage means face HAVE A MOROMIC FANGIRLISH DAY!!!!! ^____^
ps DO NOT HURT YOURSELF PONDERING THESE EVOLVED THOUGHTS (thats right evolution neaderthals and rabid Jesse fangirls waaaaaay behind!
