Robin Thicke has penned a song to help win back Paula Patton.

The "Blurred Lines" hitmaker is said to have written a heartfelt track, titled "Get Her Back," on which he begs his estranged wife for another chance. The R&B star apparently intends to debut the track during his performance at the Billboard Music Awards.

According to TMZ, lyrics discuss how Robin is determined to "make it right" between the pair following the breakdown of their eight-year marriage in February amid rumors the R&B singer had cheated.

Memorable lyrics include, "I gotta get her, go get her back / I gotta treat her right / I gotta cherish her for life," and "I should've kissed you longer / I should've held you stronger / And I'll wait for forever for you."

Jennifer Lopez’s Divorce Inspired New Album

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Upcoming Releases, Pop,

Jennifer Lopez claims her divorce inspired her new album.

The 44-year-old star has revealed her split from ex-husband Marc Anthony in 2011, after eight years of marriage, was a "turning point" in her life and gave her a different perspective on love, which she has written about for her tenth record.

"What I thought about love for my first nine albums is very different from what I think about it now after everything I've been through. My goal was to just be as honest as I could. You know, I'd gone through a lot in my life right at that point when I went on tour. I'd been through a divorce. A lot of things had happened. I really felt like it was a turning point in my life," Jennifer - who has six-year-old twins Max and Emme with the Latin singer - told Popcrush.com.

The "On The Floor" hitmaker - who started dating her 26-year-old former back-up dancer, Casper Smart, just months after splitting from Marc - also spoke about the video for new single, "I Luh Ya Papi," and admits she enjoyed working with topless male models for the promo: "It was a lot of fun. Let me tell you something, guys have been doing these videos for years because it's fun to do. When I was doing the song, I felt like it was very tongue-in-cheek... the video, we decided to do the same thing.

This concert will be rescheduled and the new date announced as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience."

He previously scrapped gigs on Friday in Atlanta and Saturday in Orlando, blaming vocal issues, but instead was seen jetting to Vancouver, where actress Paula is currently filming, in a bid to save his marriage.

Katy Perry Doesn’t Blame Exes in ‘Prism’ Songs

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Pop, New Releases,

Katy Perry won't hit out at her former lovers in her music.

The "Roar" hitmaker's third album, Prism, deals with her emotional state after her split from ex-husband Russell Brand in 2012, but she insists she tries not to make her former flames look like the bad guy in her tracks.

"Well, I never try to make people out to be villains, too much. There's a lot of empathy in my writing, even if there is pain and sadness. I think I'm not always trying to point the finger. I think on this record, the whole Prism record, it's very self-reflective and you hear that I've kind of gone inside more and looked at where I can make myself better, did a patchwork thing, rather than like 'Screw you. You're crazy. F**k you.'"

Katy - who is now dating John Mayer - still remembers the love she shared with former partners and wouldn't want to discredit it, but prefers to reflect on her own part in the failure of her relationships. "It's really easy when relationships end to be like 'That guy was a f***ing douchebag.' But really if you laid it down, and you saw the whole span of the relationship, you saw that you were in love. You saw the intimate moments, you saw the pain, you saw all the emotions and you have to kind of say 'Well, what responsibility can I take for myself in all of this?'" the 29 year-old said.

Nas Wanted to Burn Kelis’ Wedding Dress

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

Nas wanted to set fire to ex-wife Kelis' wedding dress after they split up.

The couple separated in 2009 after a four-year marriage and the 38-year-old rapper - who has two-year-old son Knight with the "Milkshake" hitmaker - was very "hurt and angry" when he found a reminder of their big day.

"I found it in my house and thought, it's going somewhere. Either on the cover of my album, or burning in a garbage can. I was angry when I first found it. Hurt and angry - but I don't think she left it deliberately to hurt me. It's just part of the dress, so I don't know where the rest of it is. But it made all the sense in the world for me to hold on to that. I guess that's just my personality," he said, explaining why the cover of his new album Life Is Good, which depicts him alone in a club with the dress draped over his knee.

Katy Perry’s Album Not All About Heartbreak

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Upcoming Releases, Pop,

Katy Perry's next album won't all be about her heartbreak.

It has been speculated the "Part of Me" singer's third album will be about her upset in the wake of her divorce from comedian Russell Brand, but she has promised there will be an upbeat side to it as well.

"I'd never devote a whole record to heartbreak. I'm happy, I'm in a good place, I'm looking forward to my future," she told The Sun.

Katy also spoke about scenes in the movie when her marriage was in trouble, and why she included them in the film: "For me it was important with this movie not to ignore that elephant in the room. I am not hiding anything, but I had to put it in with integrity and consideration because that's how I make all my choices, because I believe in karma."

Christina Aguilera Blames Husband for Failed Album

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Pop,

At one point and time, Christina Aguilera was crediting her hubby for inspiring songs like "Ain't No Other Man." Now, Jordan Bratman is reportedly being blamed for bringing down his estranged wife's career.

According to a report, Christina -- who recently filed for divorce from Jordan after nearly 5 years of marriage -- thinks Bratman is at least partly responsible for the disappointing response to Bionic.

"She feels that he held her back when she wanted to focus more on her career," an insider claims.

Uh-huh. Kind of makes you wonder how she found so much time to film that major acting role of hers. (Burlesque, co-starring Cher, opens this Thanksgiving.)
