Spice Girls Offered $41 Million Las Vegas Reunion

The Spice Girls have been offered $41 million for a Las Vegas reunion but only if Victoria Beckham is part of the show.
The iconic pop group would love to reform to celebrate their 20th anniversary this year, with several major venues keen to host the comeback. "A Spice Girls reunion in Vegas could easily generation $100 million worth of PR in a few weeks and earn the group $41 million in the process. There's huge interest from various major casinos and hotels so it's just a case of whether the girls can persuade Victoria to change her mind on the project," a source said.
The fashion designer - nicknamed Posh Spice during her time in the "Wannabe" group - is said to have given her former band mates permission to reform as a four piece, but the deal is only for a full reunion. "Posh is more than happy for the four girls to do it without her but the problem is the offer is only on the table for all five of them," the source added.

Beyonce feels a "responsibility" to her fans and their children.
The singer claimed her recent self-titled album has given her the opportunity to be herself after spending 15 years focusing on how she appeared to her younger fans.
Speaking in a new YouTube video called "Honesty," she said, "Now I'm in my 30s, and those children that grew up listening to me have grown up, and I always felt like it was my responsibility to be aware of kids and their parents and all these generations. And I felt like, in a sense, I could not express everything. I've done so many things in my life, in my career, that I feel like at this point I've earned the right to be me and to express any and every side of myself."

Leona Lewis: I Want a Las Vegas Residency
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Pop,
Leona Lewis wants her own residency in Las Vegas.
The "One More Sleep" singer aims to follow in the footsteps of pop star Britney Spears, who started her two year stint at Planet Hollywood last month.
"You get paid so much money to just go and do your show every single night. It would be amazing! I would love that. I want to go and see Britney. I am wondering how great that will be, though, as she is only performing two nights per month which I don't really understand. Two shows a month? Probably $10million per show!? I'm sure it will be incredible but I am intrigued to see how that would work."
After the success of her Christmas With Love album, the 28-year-old star is taking inspiration from Motown for her next record and says she no longer cares what people think about her or her success: "I couldn't give two craps what people think. I know what I do comes from the heart, so whatever other people say is irrelevant. People are always going to have an opinion of you. I just concentrate on the love I get from the fans."

Miley Cyrus thinks Beyonce's pop career has peaked.
The "Wrecking Ball" singer has claimed the star is out of touch with modern music and believes she can take her place at the top of the music ladder, Speaking in the new issue of Love magazine, Miley said, "Beyonce has been a big inspiration to me but she's been out for such a long time. She's so talented and I think she's at the top of the game now but people are always looking for new blood and that's what I bring to the game now, new blood, I got the total package you know, the curves, the rhythm, and the voice. I'm just the best."
Miley, 21, is determined to knock queen of pop Beyonce, 32, off her throne and believes her rival's focus is now on raising her daughter Blue Ivy - who turns two next week - with her husband Jay Z: "As Beyonce grows in motherhood and all the crap it does to your body, it will create a vacuum for fresh young faces to rise up and no one else can properly fill that void right now. I'm the only white female singer that could fill that slot right now and do it right.

Nicole also has new multi-million pound deals with fashion range Missguided and Herbal Essences on the cards.
It is set to be a big year for the 35-year-old but her biggest decision will be whether to return to the ITV talent show or stay focused on her music career.

Beyonce recorded "about 80 songs" for her surprise album.
The 32-year-old singer released her self-titled record earlier this month following a year of hard work, and she admits she had a hard job of whittling the tracks down to a selected amount.
Speaking in her Part 3 Run 'N Gun video chat on YouTube, she said, "When I started picking the songs that I gravitated towards, because I recorded about 80 songs, it was the songs that were more effortless to me that stuck around." The album features a collaboration with her husband Jay Z - whom she shares two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy with - on the song "Drunk in Love," and she believes the track worked well because they just had fun: "I kind of free-styled the verse, and Jay went in and he started flowing out his verse. We just kinda had a party. It was so great, because it wasn't about any ego, we weren't trying to make a hit record. we were just having fun. and I think you can hear that in the record."

"You and I / We have to let it each other go / We keep holding on but we both know / What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield / Peace will come when one of us puts down the guns / Be strong for both of us / No please, don't run, don't run / Eye to eye, we face our fears unarmed on the battlefield," she sings.

Dannii Minogue Writing “Personal” New Album
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Upcoming Releases, Pop,
Dannii Minogue is set to open up on a "very personal" new album.
The 42-year-old star has begun work on her latest record, and it is said she could be ready to sing about her break-up with Kris Smith and her rumored fling with Simon Cowell.
"The record will be very personal. Dannii wants to cover the events from the last couple of years. She's kept quiet about a lot of things and is using her music as an opportunity to finally speak about it all. She's actually finding it really therapeutic," an insider said.
The "Put The Needle On It" singer has been turning to her sister Kylie for support as she writes the new album - which is her first in ten years, which made her apprehensive: "I've been dabbling for a while, I've got a few tracks there. The older you get the more hesitant you get. There's more at stake and seeing how I'm going to build in time for that and keep some balance. There's always a few messages from fans saying 'Come on, it's been 10 years since the last album.' I've had little chunks of time to dedicate and sit down and write stuff. It's all about the right songs."
