Lily Allen Slams Double Standards in Comeback Song

Lily Allen has hit back at music industry double standards in her comeback song, "Hard Out Here."
The 28-year-old pop star has re-emerged after a four-year hiatus from music and taken aim at the way female singers are treated compared to their male counterparts in the lyrics and music video for her new single.
The video (seen after the jump) sees Lily - who has had two children, 23-month-old Ethel and 10-month-old Marnie in recent years - undergo liposuction at the behest of her manager in order to look thin and glamorous after her break from music. Elsewhere in the clip, the singer mocks raunchy music videos as a troupe of scantily clad dancers writhe around behind her, pour champagne over their breasts and shake their posteriors.
Lily also appears to poke fun at singer Miley Cyrus as she attempts to twerk. The song's lyrics, meanwhile, see the sharp-tongued songstress point out the sexist double standards in the music industry: "If I talk about my sex life, you'll call me a s**t / When boys be talking about their bitches, no one's making a fuss." Later in the chorus, she blasts, "Forget your balls and grow a pair of t*ts / It's hard, it's hard out here for a bitch."

VIDEO: Miley Cyrus Covers Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness”
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Performances, Videos, Alternative, Covers, Pop,
With her controversial award show performances and shocking fashions, it's easy to forget that Miley Cyrus can actually sing.
The former Disney star covered Lana Del Rey's "Summertime Sadness" for BBC Radio 1, putting a slight country pop spin to the tune. Although Cyrus sounds great on the track, it would've been nice to hear her stray a little farther from Del Rey's original version of the song. Hopefully Del Rey inspires her new work - it's definitely more interesting to hear her belting out notes like this compared to her current material!

Eminem was among the big winners at the MTV Europe Music Awards last night, while Miley Cyrus caused controversy yet again.
The 41-year-old rapper won the Best Hip Hop and Global Icon prizes at the ceremony at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam - making him the artist with the most EMAs ever - and he celebrated his victory with a surprise performance of "Bezerk" before a scintillating rendition of "Rap God."
Miley ensured she remained in the spotlight by sparking up what appeared to be a joint on-stage and then smoking it with Will Ferrell, who was at the awards as his Anchorman alter-ego Ron Burgundy, before accepting her Best Video prize for "Wrecking Ball." The blonde star told the crowd, "I couldn't fit this award in my bag but I did find this..."
One Direction also won two accolades, Best Pop and Best UK & Ireland Act, and the band's 19-year-old hunk Harry Styles was named Best Look - beating the likes of Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake and Rita Ora to the gong - however none of the boy band were at the ceremony to pick up their prizes.

Miley Cyrus Won’t Use Foam Finger in EMA Show

Miley Cyrus promises to keep foam fingers out of her MTV European Music Awards performance.
The "Wrecking Ball" singer caused controversy earlier this year when she twerked against Robin Thicke and made suggestive motions with a foam finger - but she has ruled out a repeat when she takes to the stage tomorrow night in Amsterdam.
"God, I don't know [what people will think]. If I only knew. But I can't think of any kind of prop that I would use [to] disrespect and offend. So I think I'm good about that. No Foam Finger Association is going to call me. I made custom [alien costumes], I made my own. No one owns aliens," she told MTV.
The racy star's performance on the night will have a focus on science fiction and outer space because of her love of extraterrestrial beings: "I've had this vision for a while. I've wanted to somehow involve something around aliens - because I really love aliens. Obviously, I really loved teddy bears so I built a whole show around teddy bears ... And I also like aliens, so I built the show around aliens. And when I knew that [ex-LMFAO musician] RedFoo was going to be there, I just felt he was the perfect person to get involved in what I'm all about, which is just having fun on the show, and not doing anything too serious."

Bruno Mars Inspires Ellie Goulding
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Performances, Pop, R&B / Soul,
For inspiration, Ellie Goulding looks to her pal Bruno Mars.
The "Starry Eyed" hitmaker has toured the US supporting the singer and says his live show has made her "up her game" and improve her own stage set to be more suitable for a bigger audience: "Bruno's show is phenomenal. It's the most incredible live show I've seen - that and Bjork, and it made me want to up my game. I read an article the other day that said I'd become Americanized, that I'd come from this shy English rose girl playing a guitar to being this big pop star... But you do adapt a bit to those bigger crowds and playing arenas. You can't just go out there and just say, 'Hiii.' You really do have to go out there and command."

Pharrell Williams Obsessed with Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci

Pharrell Williams works like Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci.
The rapper-and-producer is "obsessed" with the work of the scientist and can see similarities between his own thought processes and that of the physicist and artist:
I'm obsessed with Einstein's process of tapping into the ether. He called it thought experiments and I was very surprised to see it was so similar to Leonardo da Vinci's process. It's like putting a candle on the floor and looking at the light flickering on the ceiling to zone out - which is a good description of what it's like when I make music. Often I'll go outside walking, which allows my mind to wander. It's the wandering that brings about good ideas for me."
As well as making music, Pharrell has been busy working on a sunglasses collection for Moncler and says he priorities "silhouette and functionality" in design. "These days, when it comes to design, I'm all about silhouette and functionality first. What's more important - the t-shirt or the label plastered across it? Just think about Rei Kawakubo [Commes des Garcons founder] - she's a genius. She proves you don't need to cover your designs in a label because the silhouette tells you exactly who made it," he explained to Grazia.

M.I.A.: I’m a Rapper, Not a Pop Star

M.I.A. dismisses the idea she is a pop star.
The "Bring The Noize" musician insisted she prefers to be known as a rapper and thinks people pigeonholing her the way they do is a bit "weird."
"I dunno... it's weird. I'm not really a pop star. I don't think I'm popular enough to be a proper pop star. I prefer being called a rapper," she told V magazine. She admitted there was a time before her fourth album Matangi when she questioned her own ability to make a successful pop album. "After I made the last record I was no longer on XL, my old label, and I felt like I didn't know how to make a big pop record. I didn't know how to do the thing that everyone wanted me to do - which seemed like the only thing you could do on a major label," she explained.
The "Paper Planes" hitmaker has opened up about her style in the past, and she has compared herself to polarizing artists.

Lady Gaga Feels Empty After Completing ‘ARTPOP’

Lady Gaga feels "empty" and "depressed" after finishing her album ARTPOP.
The "Applause" hitmaker has hit a low point since releasing her third studio album as she is no longer being creative. "I'm depressed after making this album. I feel empty and sad. I'm no longer the creator, I'm the performer. This is the reverse of Warhol, this is the reverse of the soup can, this is art imprinted onto pop culture," she said at a concert.
This comes only weeks after Gaga claimed she doesn't "feel alive" when she is not on stage as her stage persona gives her the chance to express her thoughts. "When I'm not on the stage, I don't feel alive. But when I hit the stage, it's like everything that I'm thinking and feeling, where I belong - that's where it is," she previously said.
But the 27-year-old eccentric star doesn't think she is different from anyone else, because most people have creative energy they want to release. "I don't think I am different from anybody else. I think everyone with their location and their job and what they do, their passion, feel the same way I do. It's sort of like we are endlessly obsessing about what we are creating and then the explosion is the moment where we get to share," she explained.
