Lady Gaga Slams Die Antwoord in Twitter Row
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Music Videos, Videos, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop, New Releases,
Lady Gaga has blasted Die Antwoord over Twitter. The "Born This Way" singer was outraged at the South African duo's new song "Fatty Boom Boom" which makes fun of the pop star and her eccentric stage performances.
The video features a man dressed in Gaga's iconic meat dress taking a violent sightseeing trip around Johannesburg, before giving birth to a prawn and being mauled by a lion on the street. The 26-year-old singer hit back at the controversial rappers in a tweet which parodies their song lyrics, saying, "i fink u freaky but you don't have a hit. hundred thousand tickets sold in SA. #thatsmys**t... i guess its not a good idea to tell someone you're a fan. never mind! we get it, you're not a little monster. (sic)"

Beyonce Knowles will perform at the half time show of the 2013 Super Bowl.
The "Love on Top" singer will be the musical act at the NFL Super Bowl XVLII, held in New Orleans on February 3 next year.
The Super Bowl is one of the biggest TV events, watched by an estimated 114 million people. This will mark the second time the singer has appeared at the Super Bowl, after she sung the national anthem in 2004 in her hometown of Houston when the New England Patriots defeated the Carolina Panthers.
Traditionally, Super Bowl performers are joined by special guests, and although nothing has been confirmed, fans will expect to see cameos from Beyonce's husband, rapper Jay-Z, and her former Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
Billy Corgan’s Suicidal Thoughts

Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan "almost killed" himself "three or four" times.
The musician has been overcome with dark thoughts on a number of occasions and even started planning his death, but his faith in God always pulled him through:
"I almost killed myself about three, four, seven times. I literally started planning my death and what I would leave behind, and what I was gonna write. Three or four times in my life. What I finally realized, at least on the back end of this, is that God, at least as I understand God, was there all along. Once I was able to process my reality in that way, I no longer felt like a victim."
Billy, 45, has previously told how one of his worst suicidal phases came when he was recording the band's breakthrough album, Siamese Dream, in 1993, on which he famously played almost all of the instruments:

Fleetwood Mac will embark on their reunion tour in April 2013. The "Rumors" hitmakers - featuring Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks - are planning to begin rehearsals for their first live shows since 2009 in February, and will go out on the road a few months later.
"We go into rehearsals somewhere around the end of February. So... if everything goes to plan, we should probably be out [on the road] by end of April [or] May, I would think," Stevie said.

Kesha: I Can Sing
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Upcoming Releases, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop,
Kesha insists she can sing without auto-tune. The "Tik Tok" hitmaker was determined to prove her critics wrong on her second album Warrior and has banished all technological tricks and added more rock guitars in order to show off her vocals.
"I got really sick of people saying that I couldn't sing, because I can do very few things confidently in my life, and one of them is that I can sing. I remember thinking [with Animal], 'Oh, it's just processed. People will learn that I can sing later.' But after reading some reviews that were like, 'She can't sing,' I finally was like, 'F**k that.'"
The controversial starlet - born Kesha Rose Sebert - is back in the charts after taking a short sabbatical at the end of 2011 because she felt she needed time to relax and to embark on a "spiritual journey." However, she admitted she had to ask her record label to "back off" when they started pressuring her to make new music.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Upcoming Releases, Pop, R&B / Soul,
Rihanna has named her new album Unapologetic.
The "Diamonds" singer unveiled the cover of her seventh full length album on Twitter, which features her posing topless. "My NEW album ''UNAPOLOGETIC'' will be released on NOVEMBER 19th WORLDWIDE #Navy (sic)," she wrote.
Covering the singer's modesty are a number of handwritten words, including "happy," "fearles," "chalice," "diamonds," and "censored." Over her face in white writing is the word "love."
The singer's latest tattoo of the Egyptian goddess Isis, on her midriff, is also visible. She has previously said she got the inking in tribute to her grandmother, Clara "Dolly" Braithwaite, who passed away earlier this year.
Unapologetic will be released on November 19.
Rolling Stones to Headline Glastonbury?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Rumors, Rock,
The Rolling Stones may headline Glastonbury next year.
The "Brown Sugar" group are celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2013 with a series of concerts, and are rumored to be topping the bill at the iconic British festival, one of the largest music events in Europe.
"The band are gearing up for a load of live dates but tend to leave big decisions like this until the last minute. [Organizer] Michael Eavis is desperate to get the band confirmed and has made initial contact with their people. It would be a massive coup to get the band playing Glasto on what could be their last round of live dates. Getting a decision from the whole band can be tough and at the moment they are without an agent for live shows, which is not helping the situation. But there is a good chance 2013 will finally be the year they make it," a source told The Sun.

Marina and the Diamonds Not Worried About Being Pop
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Alternative, Pop, New Releases,
Marina and the Diamonds felt some fans "wouldn't allow" her to be a pop artist on Electra Heart.
The singer's second album took a more chart-friendly direction away from her indie roots, and while she was initially unsure, she is now happy some people would criticize her for it.
"I think that I wasn't allowed to change and that deep down I wanted to write a pop album and to be a popstar. For some reason, I felt like people wouldn't allow me to do that, which is stupid because I love the album. So I should have just never said anything and accepted that some people would have said 'she's not credible anymore' and that some people would start to be a fan of me, because that's what always happens when you change your music."
Marina - real name Marina Diamandis - worked with pop producer Dr. Luke on the album, and says he changed the entire way some of the songs were presented:

Amanda Palmer Spends $1.2 Million Made from New Album
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Alternative, Rock, New Releases,
Amanda Palmer has spent all of the $1.2 million she raised to make her new album. The "Coin Operated Boy" singer got the astronomical amount by going directly to fans to fund her solo album, Theatre Is Evil, and although all the money has gone, it's all been spent wisely on her career.
"It's all gone. People look at it and they see a giant pile of money, but we're running a business. It doesn't make you rich, it just means that your volume of business has increased. The production of the CD, vinyl and art book, including shipping costs, was $300,000 alone. All the money [went] directly back on the product, the stage show, and the videos. I'd much rather live that way than make a compromised product."
