Miley Cyrus is working with Tyler the Creator. The former Hannah Montana star is currently in the studio working on her fourth album with rapper-and-producer Pharrell Williams, and the N.E.R.D. star revealed they have also been joined by the controversial rapper. Posting a picture of himself with the two stars, Pharrell tweeted: "In the lab..."
Miley has previously revealed Pharrell wanted to work with her after she was caught on camera smoking the psychedelic drug Salvia in December 2010. The former Disney star previously said, "It was magic. Pharrell said, 'Don't be offended because this is how I talk, but [I thought], 'That b***h is actually living.' She's not sitting there with her Momager's chain on her door. I want to free that b***h. I want her out of her cage.'"

Metallica paid tribute to Green Day after replacing them at a festival. The heavy metal group stepped in for the "Oh Love" punk band at the Voodoo Festival in New Orleans, after they cancelled all forthcoming dates due to frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's ongoing rehab.
Two songs into their set, Metallica singer James Hetfield told the crowd: ''We! Are! Green Day! - Except a little taller!" He later added, "You're hoping Green Day are going to show up, right? So am I. They're getting help. They're getting it sorted out. The world needs them." He also dedicated the track "Battery" to the front man, saying: "This one's for Billie."

Green Day have postponed the beginning of their 2013 arena tour while Billie Joe Armstrong continues rehab.
The band's frontman went into treatment for substance abuse problems in September when he smashed a guitar and swore multiple times on stage in Las Vegas, and the group have now called off the remainder of their 2012 club dates and pushed back the beginning of next year's tour.
"Obviously, the timing for this isn't ideal, but Billie Joe's well-being is our main concern. We are happy to say that Billie Joe is doing well, and we want to thank you all for the outpouring of support and well wishes that we have received, and we can't wait to see you all again soon," Bassist Mike Dirnt said in a statement released on Monday.

Eminem has sparked speculation he will release a new album next year. "The Real Slim Shady" hitmaker has hinted his eighth record will come out in 2013 by having the date sewn into a piece of official merchandise.
Ahead of this weekend's baseball World Series showdown between the Detroit Tigers and the San Francisco Giants, a post on Eminem's Facebook page read, "For a limited time only in honor of the big games and the hometown team's return to The D, we are pleased to offer the Eminem Baseball Tribute Hat in both home and away colors. Side panel is dedicated to the landmark Eminem solo albums. A portion of the proceeds will go to The Marshall Mathers Foundation. Get them here. (sic)"
The hat features Eminem's logo on the front and at the side is the proclamation "World Champion" followed by eight years. The first seven dates: 1996, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2009 and 2010 were all years in which the rapper released an album. A final date, 2013, follows underneath, leading fans to conclude he will release new material in the coming months.
Paul McCartney: Yoko Wasn’t to Blame for Beatles Split
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Rumors, Rock,
Paul McCartney has insisted Yoko Ono wasn't responsible for the end of The Beatles.
The 70-year-old musician has attempted to end decades of anger directed at the Japanese artist for the band's demise in 1970 and is adamant his decision to quit the group wasn't motivated by a dislike of John Lennon's widow - a much held belief.
In an interview with David Frost for television channel Al Jazeera English, Paul said, "She certainly didn't break the group up, the group was breaking up."
Paul insists they were a number of different reasons why the band - which also included the late George Harrison and Ringo Starr - ended and he credits Yoko with inspiring some of John's best work. The "Hey Jude" songwriter believes the different creative influences Yoko, 79, brought into John's life helped him write tracks such as "Imagine" and "Dear Prudence."

Courtney Love is planning a film about Kurt Cobain's life.
The Hole rocker is working on either a musical or a movie about the lives of her and her late Nirvana singer husband, who committed suicide in 1994.
"[Courtney Love and I] are currently working on a possible motion picture or Broadway musical based on the Nirvana catalogue, based on her life and Kurt Cobain's. She's an accomplished actress," said Sam Lutfi, who claims to be her co-manager.
Sam made his claims in a Los Angeles court, where he is suing former client Britney Spears' parents for libel and breach of contract. A source close to 48-year-old Courtney confirmed the movie plans, telling the New York Daily News, "She's been talking about doing a movie or play about her life with Kurt for a long time. It's been her dream to get her side of the story out."

Taylor Swift has announced a 58 date concert tour.
The "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" singer will tour the US and Canada in support of her new album Red in the spring and summer of 2013 and can't wait to get on the road to play for her fans.
"As you may know my new album Red is finally out and I am so happy about that and I am beyond excited to tell you that I cam coming back out on tour next year and I can't wait to play these songs for my fans. We are starting with 58 shows in 45 cities in 29 states and three provinces. Nine stadiums and 36 arenas. We're starting on March 13th, that's my lucky number, in Omaha, Nebraska, through until September," she said in a video announcement on her website.
Taylor also revealed her support act will be her close friend Ed Sheeran: "I'm bringing someone pretty amazing with me on tour to open up the shows...Ed Sheeran. The first tickets go on sale on November 16 and you can find all of the information at Taylorswift.com."
Poor Album Sales Don’t Bother Nelly Furtado

She might not be flying like a bird with her latest album sales, but Nelly Furtado won't let that stop her from making music.
Her new album, The Spirit Indestructible, is the follow-up to her 2009 Spanish-language album Mi Plan. Before that was her career-boosting album Loose, which featured her hit single, "Promiscuous." The Spirit Indestructible failed to meet album expectations, selling a mere 6,000 copies (debuting at 79 on Billboard) compared to Loose's 219,000 in its first week (in which it debuted at number one).
"Just like a lot of my albums, actually. I have very few albums that debut high," Furtado said. "I've had kind of everything happen to me commercially and at different levels," she says. "I've had different scenes and I've dabbled in a lot of markets so I see the music world as very global and I'm always looking for new avenues and opportunities, so one chart or anything doesn't necessarily [mean anything]."

Alice Cooper: Young Rock Bands are ‘Boring’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Performances, Rock,
Alice Cooper has slammed young rock bands for becoming "really boring."
The "Hey Stoopid" singer hit out at modern male groups saying they are too sensitive and "afraid" to be themselves, and he has been left particularly unimpressed by their stage shows in contrast to their female counterparts such as Lady Gaga.
Speaking at Q magazine's annual awards this afternoon, he told BANG Showbiz, "The girls seem to be the only ones doing theatrics, the guys have taken a back seat when it comes to that, Lady Gaga and the others just seem to be more creative when it comes to the stage shows. The guys have become boring, really. It just seems like young rock bands are afraid to be young rock bands. There's a lot of thrust missing from rock 'n' roll. I don't know why, everyone's trying to be very sensitive. In the 70s the last thing on our minds was sensitive."

Aerosmith: Music Will Never Be the Same
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Collaborations, Gossip, Upcoming Releases, Rock,
Aerosmith claim it's the "end of an era" for rock 'n' roll music.
The "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" hitmakers are releasing their first studio album in 11 years, Music From Another Dimension!, but guitarist Joe Perry says the music scene has changed forever: "It's the end of an era. People listen to music in a different way. They cherry-pick songs off records. They aren't going to want to listen to live bands anymore. I don't know if we will see The Black Keys doing two-and-a-half-hour sets in 10 years."
The band have spent a lot of time perfecting the album and teamed up with the late John Lennon's son, Julian, on one track after he heard frontman Steven Tyler singing in the shower. "A lot of weird stuff happens in Los Angeles. I was staying at a hotel where Julian Lennon was staying and one morning I was singing in the shower with the window open. I heard through the window, 'Steven?' and I shouted back, 'Julian?' After that, we brought Julian over to the studio and he sang on the opening track," he revealed.
