Hitmaking songwriter Claude Kelly, dubbed the “Studio Beast,” penned the catchy, up-tempo new smash single, “Party in the USA” for Disney’s mega superstar Miley Cyrus. “Party In The USA” is the # 1 most downloaded song on ITunes, and has already landed commercial placements with Wal-Mart airing countrywide.
“Party In The USA,” which also features production by the critically acclaimed producer Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald (Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry), leaked via the Internet at the end of July. The song made its proper debut with a highly publicized performance by Miley Cyrus at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards. Less than a week later, it was announced that the song was the 2nd most added at radio this year.
"Party in the USA" is the first single from Miley’s upcoming new release, and will appear on a forthcoming Wal-Mart exclusive EP that will debut along with the starlet's Max Azria clothing line this month. The song is prominently featured in the current televised national advertising campaign in promotion of the new clothing line.
In addition to Miley Cyrus, Claude also penned Kelly Clarkson’s latest #1 single, “My Life Would Suck Without You," which reached record-breaking success. On Chrisette Michelle’s album, Epiphany, Claude wrote a whopping 5-songs, including her hit single, “Blame It On Me,” which aided in making the album reach #1 in sales its first week. He also wrote Britney Spears’ hit single, “Circus,” which is the title track from her chart topping album and tour. Claude’s talent for writing hits landed him 3 songs (the most of any single writer on the project) off the highly anticipated, soon to be released album by Whitney Houston, I Look to You.
Recently, the diverse songwriter wrote songs for several highly anticipated new albums, including: Michael Jackson, Toni Braxton, R. Kelly, and Christina Aguilera. Claude’s goal is to write hit songs for all genres of music, and so far, he’s reaching that goal.
As one of the most sought after songwriters in music today, Claude got his big break when he wrote the song, "Daddy's Little Girl" for Frankie J's 2006 album, Priceless. Claude’s work so impressed Akon that in late 2007, the singer suggested Claude write to some of his music, one of which was "Forgive Me", written for Leona Lewis' debut album and produced by Akon, respectively. Another song he wrote was "Hold My Hand" which was set to feature on Akon's third album, however the song leaked, and it was decided not to be included in the album. The song features Michael Jackson. At present, he's working with Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, Backstreet Boys, Carrie Underwood, Christina Aguilera and Kris Allen.

Teen Choice Celebrity Lounge helping Animal Shelters
With celebrities like Robert Pattinson, Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, Zac Efron, Lauren Conrad, Paris Hilton, and Kanye West in town for the Teen Choice Awards, Hollywood is in a festive mood. But the hottest spot in town is one where celebrities are giving back and celebrating at the same time.
At Melanie Segal’s Celebrity Lounge presented by Rocket Dog (www.rocketdog.com) on Thursday and Friday, stars are helping raise awareness for the little known animal shelter disaster hitting the U.S. due to the economic crisis. At the event there will be dozens of pets from Tails of the City Animal Rescue (www.tailsofthecityrescue.com) at the lounge looking to be adopted into loving homes. Celebrity guests like Stevie Wonder, Bridget Marquardt, Jordana Brewster and AnnaLynne McCord will take photos with these pets to help get them be adopted more quickly.
Because of the California budget crisis and subsequent tax cuts, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has just ended a state mandate to hold animal shelter strays for six days, resulting in euthanizing more animals – some after just 3 days. Animal shelters have already been hit hard with overcrowding due to the weak economy and the housing crisis, and this has just made things much worse.
“Often, in times of crises, pets become the forgotten victims,” explains Melanie Segal, owner of Platinum Publicity, a full service PR company specializing in celebrity events and gifting. “Much of the population have been forced out of their homes due to foreclosures and have moved into apartments that don’t allow animals. They’ve had to give away their beloved pets to overcrowded shelters.” And now these shelters aren’t even required to keep dogs for a week before putting them to sleep.
But lounge sponsors such as Rocket Dog, Tivo and Jet Blue have come to the rescue. Tivo is having celebrity guests of the lounge sign Tivos to be donated to “Tails of the City” for auction. Jet Blue has provided the auction with airline tickets up for bidding.
In return for their support, celebrities will get loads of pampering and gifting. They’ll leave Melanie Segal’s Lounge wearing the latest Rocket Dog shoes, made with fashion forward teens who surf a wave as readily as they do the Web.
Some hot give away items include: New Clearasil Ultra® Pimple Blocker Pen guaranteed to get to work immediately to help stop a pimple in its tracks! Primp Clothing - a luxury knitwear company that combines comfort and style. Primp's trend- setting novelty prints and graphics make it irresistible to fashion forward women everywhere. Steven Shein Jewelry - a Los Angeles based line of colorful and innovative jewelry influenced equally by pop culture and formal design. Red Light Energy Drink - containing the complex, five-flavored schizandra berry, high in antioxidants and vitamin C, without excessive amounts of caffeine.
Other sponsors of Melanie Segal’s Celebrity Lounge presented by Rocket Dog include Dance Dance Revolution, Cosabella, Makeup Mandy, Jonathan Martin, Johnny Martin, Innex, Wellness Bags, Christy’s Hats, Energy Muse Jewelry, Dogswell, Greener Pup, Izze, ManiPedi Cutie, Bayer Teen Vitamins, The OC Dog Newspaper, Icelandic Glacial, Classic Photo Booth, Barts Carts, Perfekt Beauty and Honest Tea.
