Lars Ulrich Won’t Let His Kids Listen to One Direction

Lars Ulrich won't let his children listen to One Direction.

The Metallica drummer - who is also one of the founders of the band - made his kids Miles, 15, Layne, 12, and Bryce, seven, listen to heavy rock when they were little so they don't grow up listening to pop music.

"I raised them on stuff like AC/DC, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, from when they were really small. I got them on to it really early, when they were about two. So that's what they are used to, although they like Rihanna, the Foo Fighters and the Arctic Monkeys. I'm cool with it when they want it on the car stereo," he said.

Meanwhile, Lars believes he gets on better with bandmates James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo - who were on the brink of breaking up in 2004 - now because they have other priorities. "We've been together 32 years. There have been a lot of ups and downs. We're getting on great now. Metallica is not the main thing in our lives. We've all got a lot more now, like kids. I've got three! It's actually fun to go on tour -- it's like taking a vacation with your best mates. Being at home with the kids, that's hard work. Taking them on the school run, that's hard work," he explained.

Celine Dion wants to record a track with Eminem. The "Think Twice" singer would love to collaborate with the rapper - famed for his controversial and often violent lyrics - to give her more "street cred."

When asked if she'd collaborate with Eminem by AccessHollywood.com, she replied, "I'd love to." The vocalist - famed for her ballads - also talked about getting the seal of approval from her son Rene-Charles, 12, after he found out she'd worked with Sia Furler - who has penned hits including "Titanium" with David Guetta and "Diamonds" for Rihanna - on her new album. "When I told [Rene] I was getting ready to do another album and that there's a new song called 'Loved Me Back to Life' and it was Sia who actually wrote it for me, he said, 'No way.' He couldn't believe it because I'm not cool, and I'm not Rihanna," she explained.

Matthew Fox despairs of his daughter's love for One Direction.

While the Alex Cross star's 15-year-old daughter Kyle is a huge fan of the boy band, Alex doesn't rate their music and is trying to convince her to change her musical tastes. "She's a huge One Direction fan. She's got this major crush on Harry Styles. And I'm a huge music fan and we're having that classic father-child argument about music right now. So I'm trying to encourage her to explore music that's outside of the boy bands," he told chat show host Conan O'Brien.

Nelly Furtado Wants a More ‘Professional’ Image

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop, Reggae, New Releases,

Nelly Furtado wants to be seen as a more "professional" singer.

The 33-year-old star is known for her raunchy image and risque lyrics in songs like "Promiscuous Girl," but says the birth of her daughter Nevis eight years ago made her want to appear more sophisticated and encouraged her to censor her songs.

"From (Nevis' birth) forward I've been looking at my career in a more professional way. Before, I was just floating down the river and not really sure what I was doing. Writing-wise I keep her in mind - the tone of things, how I present myself," she said.

The Canadian star has even replaced the word "promiscuous" with "mysterious" in her infamous hit song when she performs it live. "I guess I wanted to show that the song's still a good song without that word in it. It's still melodic," she explained.

Madonna to Be Joined on Tour By Daughter

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Pop,

Madonna's daughter will be among the backing dancers for the singer's world tour.

Lourdes Leon - the "Hung Up" hitmaker's 15-year-old child with former boyfriend Carlos Leon - will take to the stage alongside her mother for the first time when Madonna's 50-country run of shows begins in Israel in May.

"It is the first time Lourdes will have appeared on stage with her mum. There are risqué dancers and some blatantly sexual dance routines - but Madonna is really excited about Lourdes making an appearance," a source said.

Madonna was joined by Lourdes and her dancer boyfriend Brahim Zaibat when she recently chose a new backing dancer for her tour. The 53-year-old singer was at the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange project in New York in November when she selected Lil' Buck to join her on tour and the performer - whose real name is Charles Riley - and he said the experience was a dream come true.
