(sic)” ...

Lady Gaga and Elton John

Lady Gaga and Elton John have done another duet together which features on the film ‘Gnomeo and Juliet’ discussing the track Elton revealed: “GaGa was fantastic to work with - we did a duet called 'Hello, Hello'.”... “If I had a daughter it would be GaGa, no doubt. She has the same penchant for high shoes; she’s great.”
He continued: “She is influenced by so many people - you can see it... she is like all of us. When I first started out I was influenced by people and then you gradually form a character of your own.”

Kylie Minogue

Kylie Minogue has announced that she plans to release a remixed greatest hits album... (thank god it’s not another ‘normal’ greatest hits)
Kylie was in London yesterday where she performed an acoustic set of her well-known hits for BBC Radio 2 including: ‘Can't Get You Out Of My Head’, ‘All The Lovers’ and ‘In My Arms’
Speaking at Maida Vale studios, she said: “Thanks in no small part to the BBC, I've always loved working with an orchestra and doing acoustic sets, so we're looking to put together an album of the various songs in this kind of manner.”
Kylie also revealed that her acoustic performance of ‘Can't Get You Out Of My Head’ will be the B-side to her FANTASTIC new single ‘Better than today’... love to see this hit No.1

Westlife

Westlife have responded to Brian McFadden’s return to the band saying that it would be ‘boring’... Sorry to burst your bubble Brian! Earlier this week, Brain said that he is ‘Ready’ to reunite with his former band mates to take on the newly-reformed Take That.
However Shane Filan told a national newspaper that Brain McFadden’s offer will not be taken up... (Good on ye lads!)
Shanes is quoted as saying: “I don't think it's even remotely interesting if Brian came back... “Brian left because he didn't like being in the band. It wasn't because we fell out. For us as a band, we never split up. We've kept going and are very happy... “If another person came in it would be like restarting a new band.”
In reference to the comparisons between Brian’s prospective return and Robbie William's rejoining Take That, Shane said: “Robbie Williams coming back to Take That was a big announcement... “He's the biggest male solo performer of the past 20 years. You can't compare it.”
Ha-ha ha ha Brain!

'N Sync

Now i have to admit this made me laugh this morning after learning that Lance Bass said that he and his former 'N Sync band mates have no plans to reunite in the future... I’d love to see Justin Timberlake’s face when someone suggests that to him! - Lmao
Speaking to an Entertainment channel Lance said: “I don't see that coming anytime soon,” ... “Justin’s very busy with his acting career right now so I think it's going to be quite a while before we even think about doing anything.”
However, Lance did say that he would be interested in reuniting in the future, adding: “I love being on the stage. So yeah, anytime the guys would want to do an album, I'm in!” – i bet you are, actually... who’s Lance Bass...?

Mini Viva

It doesn’t really come as a surprise but Mini Viva have confirmed that they have split up.
Mini Vivi hit the Top10 with their debut single ‘Left my heart in Tokyo’ last year, but the follow-up singles ‘I wish’ and ‘One touch didn’t even get into the Top40 - charting at numbers 73 and 114 respectively.
In a statement band member Britt Love said: “First off all we would like to apologise for not being able to tell you sooner what was going on with Mini Viva,”... “It was something we had to decide for ourselves first and of course it was a big decision. “Both of us felt like the time was up for Mini Viva. We had tried so much and so had everyone who was supporting us. But sometimes things just don’t work out the way you would like them to.”
She continued: “We would just like to take this time to thank every single one of you for supporting us on our journey! We could not have asked for more loyal fans than you guys!”

Leona Lewis

Congratulations go to Leona Lewis who has just become the 14th female singer to have a million-selling single in the UK.

Pulp

Fantastic news! Pulp have just announced that they are getting back together and will reform a couple of festivals next year!
In a press release it read: “Pulp have decided to get together and play some concerts next summer. The shows will involve all the original members of the band (Nick Banks, Jarvis Cocker, Candida Doyle, Steve Mackay, Russell Senior & Mark Webber) & they will play songs from all periods of their career (Yes, that means they'll be playing your favourites).” It went on to name specific concert dates: “Wireless Festival (Sunday, July 3) and Barcelona's Primavera Sound Festival (Friday, May 27) but described these dates as “the first shows”.

I used to love this band; it’d be great to hear some of their classic tracks live like: ‘Common people’ and Disco 2000.

Dizzee Rascal & Cheryl Cole

Gone are the days when two artists liked each other and decided to do a duet together (as in, in person) Dizzee Rascal has revealed that he is yet to even hear his collaboration with Cheryl Cole.
Dizzee features on Cheryl’s album track ‘Everybody, Everyone’ but he’s admitted that it’s like the duet “never happened”.
Speaking in a national newspaper Dizzee is quoted as saying: “It was like it never happened. I never saw her”... “They sent me three tracks and I basically picked the one I thought would be best. It saves money on planes: imagine going halfway across the world in first class then deciding that you don't like the person...”
Stupid if you ask me! I think two artist collaborating should be done because they genuinely like and respect each other and each other work and not for MONEY.

Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera has revealed that she has begun working on a new album.
Christina only released her 4th album ‘Bionic’ earlier this year, she revealed that the new album will be “introspective” and have “a different vibe.
Speaking to a magazine she said: “Now I'm actually in the studio recording the next album, which has a different vibe... “I think now we're back to going a little deeper, in the vein where I recorded my ‘Stripped’ record, which was very personal and more introspective.”

Christina’s current album has been a global flop selling less than a million copies worldwide,
despite going to No.1 in the UK it was declared the lowest-selling UK number one in album chart history.

Cheryl Cole

Congratulations to Cheryl Cole who has landed a record deal in America worth a staggering £6 MILLION!

Cheryl made a flying visit L.A this week where she hammered out the lucrative contract with record company Universal.
According to reports Universal has offered to release her new album ‘Messy Little Raindrops’ in America next year, in addition to two more albums.
According to a national newspaper a source is quoted as saying: “Cheryl got a call from some very senior people at Universal saying they wanted to see her. They are the kind of people who when they say, 'Jump,' you ask, 'How high?”... “So she jumped on a plane and went to LA for 36 hours. Derek [Hough] was there to ferry her to-and-fro and give her support as these big execs can be quite scary.”

Bosses at Universal are said to have called Cheryl Cole last Sunday night

Nadine Coyle

I’d like to say that i feel sorry for her ... But i don’t!..
It’s being reported today in national newspapers that Nadine Coyle has sold ... wait for it...! a MASSIVE 117 copies of her debut solo single, and it's only heading for a chart position of No.35 in the midweek chart. (the offical position will be revealed today by BBC Radio 1)
Even on downloads it’s only shifted a further 2,439 copies on Monday...

See Nadine, that Girls Aloud re-union isn’t such a bad idea now huh!

Christina Aguilera

Nice payday if ye can get it huh!... It’ s being reported that Christina Aguilera earned herself a MASIIVE $1 MILLION for ... Get this... a 1 HOUR performance at a Halloween party last weekend.
Christina Aguilera was booked by investment guru Charles Brandes for the private set...
The reported paycheque, reportedly confirmed by insiders close to Aguilera, equates to $16,666 (£10,390) per minute, in addition to payments for styling, travel and other related costs.
Sources connected to Brandes dispute the figure, however, and claim that the value investor only paid $500,000 (£311,716) for Aguilera to sing at the event at his San Diego estate... Mmm i like the ‘only paid’ part... Lmao!

Should be errr... interesting to hear!

Rihanna

Rihanna has admitted that she initially rejected the idea of recording a sequel song (with Eminem) to their global smash ‘Love the way you lie’
Rihanna initially feared undermining the track's success with a proposed follow-up for her new album ‘Loud’.
Speaking to a music channel Rihanna said “When I first heard the idea about doing a part two, I was just completely against it. I just felt like you couldn't beat the original. There's no way you can outdo that, so why compete with it?”
Later adding: “We heard a broken-down version that was stripped down, just piano... I fell in love with it. We recorded it, then we did another version to the stripped-down version with drums, then we did another version with drums and Eminem. And then that was the one that just felt really good. I love both. I love the broken-down version, as well as the new one with Eminem.”

I watched her performance on last nights X-Factor and it was absolutely fantastic!!!!

The Black Eyed Peas

Oh dear ... The Black Eyed Peas are being sued for alleged plagiarism for a second time! According to an entertainment channel Bryan Pringle filed a lawsuit in federal court in Santa Ana, California, claiming that The Peas plagiarised his song ‘Take a Dive’ in their global No.1 smash ‘I Gotta Feeling’.
A second lawsuit, originally filed back in January, was also re-entered in federal court in LA, alleging that The Peas other No.1 smash ‘Boom Boom Pow’ used elements of Phoenix Phenom's song ‘Boom Dynamite’.
Plaintiff lawyer Ira Gould said: “A simple listening of the two songs will tell you that the songs are substantially similar, and that the hooks of the two songs are virtually identical in rhythm and lyrics.”...
Other defendants named in the two suits include Interscope, UMG Records and EMI April Music. The plaintiffs are claiming monetary damages, including all net profits from the respective tracks and future royalties.

Nelly

Mmm... Can’t say i agree with you Nelly... He’s suggested that Kelly Rowland should return to her R&B roots if she wants to maintain her success in America.
He said that although he is a fan of her collaborations with David Guetta, her R&B tracks are more suited to the American market.
Speaking in a national newspaper Nelly is quoted as saying “Kelly is now known as a dance act in Europe and I'm really happy for her success. ‘Commander’ with David Guetta was incredible. She works so hard but over in the States they yearn for the R&B Kelly.
“It's a double-edged sword. But I understand where she's coming from. You have to be a versatile artist to survive, you can't just stick to one genre.”
Speaking of their new collaboration (the follow-up to their No.1 Dilemma) on his upcoming album, Nelly added: “It's always a pleasure to work with her. I went on tour with her in 2001 when she was in Destiny's Child, so we're tight. She's beautiful, talented and a real joker.”
He added that they would be ‘fools’ not to recreate the ‘magic’ of their 2002 duet 'Dilemma'.
