Miley Cyrus Blasts Tour Critics
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Rumors, Pop,
Miley Cyrus has hit back at critics who have called for her Bangerz Tour to be canceled.
The 21-year-old singer kicked off her raunchy world tour in Vancouver, Canada, last week and has come under fire for antics such as simulating a sex act on a man wearing a Bill Clinton mask, but Miley insists she gave fans a pre-warning her shows would be X-rated.
"You can't say I didn't warn you. Now sit back relax & enjoy the show. #bangerztour [sic]," she wrote on Twitter yesterday. The tweet was accompanied by a picture of Miley on stage in a revealing outfit exposing her butt.
The "Wrecking Ball" hitmaker then blasted her critics by telling them to "save" their outrage. "Save your complaints for the McDonalds drive thru when they forget the 'fries with that' [sic]," she quipped.

Bob Dylan Bites Back at Plagiarism Claims
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Folk, Rock,
Bob Dylan has blasted critics who accused him of plagiarism.
The legendary musician was quick to defend himself about quoting other artists and authors' material in his own work, branding his critics "wussies and pussies" and saying they are the same kind of petty people who called him "Judas" at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival for switching from an acoustic to an electric guitar.
"Judas, the most hated name in human history! If you think you've been called a bad name, try to work your way out from under that. Yeah, and for what? For playing an electric guitar? As if that is in some kind of way equitable to betraying our Lord and delivering him up to be crucified. All those evil motherf*****s can rot in hell," he ranted to Rolling Stone.

Adam Levine is Excited for Maroon 5’s ‘Rebirth’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Upcoming Releases, Alternative, Pop,
Adam Levine sees Maroon 5's new album as a "rebirth" of the group. The band are releasing fourth record, Overexposed, and frontman Adam wants it to show a different side to him and his bandmates.
"People often misinterpreted confidence or my playful cockiness with arrogance. I'm certainly an extremely humble person and my mother raised me right. I'm always polite, I'm always nice and never mean. And I'm excited, so excited to talk about the new record as I see it as a rebirth for Maroon 5," said the singer, who is joined by Michael Madden, PJ Morton, James Valentine and Matt Flynn in the band.
Adam also said he struggled when critics used to give him and the band - who went through a period where they didn't have a single hit between 2007's "Makes Me Wonder" and 2011's "Moves Like Jagger" - a tough time: "I put my heart and soul into our songs and love them, so when someone writes they don't like them or me, it hurt. But the ups and downs have been really important. And now I don't know why it's working, but it seems to be, so I keep doing it. Now it's OK to like us. For ages it was uncool to like Maroon 5."

Lana Del Rey Hates Personal Critics
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Pop,
Lana Del Rey says the hardest part of being a pop star is dealing with people focusing on her image.
The "Blue Jeans" singer gets upset when people write her off as an artist without properly listening to the music just because they don't like her style or looks. Lana finds it particularly annoying when she has put so much hard work into her songs.
"What's scary is when you have your focus on being a writer for 10 years, and after that people decide they don't like you - that's off-putting, because when you've put all your work into crafting words and melodies, and then people start just thinking about you and judging you as a person that's a little off-putting. But the rest of it isn't scary, it's just sort of different," she said, speaking about her rapid rise to fame over the last year.
Despite being beautiful, the 26-year-old musician is determined to be taken seriously as an artist and cites the poetry of Walt Whitman and Alan Ginsberg as major inspirations to her: "I do enjoy reading, I read the same things over and over again. I really like certain passages out of Whitman's 'Leaves of Grass' and Ginsberg has a poem called 'Howl,' and both of those writers are like my first and last inspirations, the first people I saw that made their words really electric and come alive off the page, really visual writers."
