Lady Gaga to Open Michael Jackson Museum
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Rumors, Pop,
Lady Gaga is opening a Michael Jackson museum which will showcase $2 million worth of the legend's stuff.
The "Applause" hitmaker increased her collection of products which belonged to the late star - who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 - in 2012 when she bought 55 items from an auction, and she takes good care of iconic memorabilia including the famous jacket which features in his 1983 hit "Thriller" and white Swarovski crystal encrusted glove which cost $194,000.
Gaga feels it's essential the late King of Pop of should be remembered and since she treasures her own tour clothes she felt uneasy when Michael's were sold and has spent millions to make sure they are well preserved: "I will put together a museum and put the money to a foundation he cares about. The reason I bought Michael's clothes was because my tour clothes mean more to me than anything, my awards, records. I believe they carry the energy and memories of the night. With Michael's clothes being sold when he was not here made me feel really uncomfortable, upset and I don't why. I take care of them - they are in the right temperature and are preserved. I have spent millions. I believe that the fans' energy gets stuck in the clothes. I wanted to preserve that for him."

Hilary Duff Rules Out Provocative Return
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Pop,
Hilary Duff is not going to make a "provocative" return to music.
The former child star has taken a break for almost four years, but isn't planning a raunchy comeback like Miley Cyrus made in 2013, because it doesn't fit with her personality.
"The music has changed a lot since I was last recording. There are a lot of artists out there being really provocative, wearing certain clothes and performing in certain ways, but right now that's just not me. I've always tried to stay true to who I am and present that to the public because I think when you're not authentic, people can smell it on you. Besides, if everyone's doing the same thing then even being provocative isn't really provocative."
"Dignity" singer Hilary, 26, is glad she took a step away from the limelight to recharge and lead a normal life which has seen her marry her husband, former ice hockey player Mike Comrie in 2010 and have her first son, Luca, who is now 21 months old.

Adele Slams Pop Stars Who Rely on Sex

Adele has criticized pop stars who use sex to sell records.
The pregnant "Someone Like You" hitmaker has slammed her chart rivals - who include Rihanna, Madonna and Lady Gaga - who strip off in their videos to promote themselves and insists most female singers look very different in real life to how they look on screen.
"They don't look how they do in magazines or videos. I have seen them up close. Exploiting yourself sexually is not a good look. I don't find it encouraging," she said.
Adele has always had a fuller figure but she insists she would never go on a diet or change her image to try and be more successful. The 24-year-old singer - whose last album 21 has sold over 23 million copies worldwide - prefers to just let her music define her. "I have never seen magazine covers and music videos and thought, 'I need to look like that to be a success.' To sell more records I don't need to go that. I just stand there and sing. I'm not worried that I'm a 'plus size' and so much bigger than other artists. No matter what you look like the key is to be happy with yourself," she is quoted as saying.

Brandon Flowers Changed with Fame

Brandon Flowers admits that fame changed him. The Killers frontman says he began wearing eccentric stage outfits and acting cocky in the band's early days in order to feel more confident because he couldn't cope with the change around him.
"I grew up in Utah, and all of a sudden we're getting popular in London - the coolest city in the world - and we were like, 'This is not what we're cut from.' So I puffed up my chest and spread the feathers - that was my reaction to that. I do have a belief in myself and in the band, but it wasn't like that," he said.
The "Mr. Brightside" singer says that the days of his infamous pink leather jacket and feathered epaulettes are behind him with the band's fourth studio album Battle Born, but he doesn't regret any of his statement looks: "Getting more comfortable in my own skin and feeling more confident is somehow tasking the place of feathers and pink leather. I wouldn't take back the feathers. I felt empowered when I put that jacket on, it was a ceremony, I loved it. But I can't wear them forever. I gave them to the London Hard Rock."

Muse Can’t Be Defined

"We are defined by the fact that we can't be defined by anybody. There are electro-pop sounds and songs that are obviously classic rock. Then there are the orchestral things. [The album would sound like] three different bands if it wasn't for my voice," frontman Matt Bellamy said.
The band did a lot of work on the album with David Campbell - who has previously arranged and conducted music for Metallica and Beck - and were thrilled with his overdubs. "He understood that film-music thing we were looking for. And he found a lot of amazing people," Matt told Rolling Stone.
Some tracks on the album were inspired by a show Matt watched on economics, when he saw experts discussing the second law of thermodynamics.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Upcoming Releases, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop,
The "Collide" singer - famed for her ballads - is putting the finishing touches to third record, Glassheart, and promised fans they will hear a different side to her, and she's even confident enough to take on New York-based Nicki.
"On my new album I will be rapping. I've discovered my voice for rapping. I could probably go up against Nicki Minaj now. I'm actually that good, so I'm coming for you Nicki! London style MCing," she said in a livestream Q&A.
It has also previously been claimed Leona - who won the UK version of The X Factor in 2006 and is signed to Simon Cowell's Syco label - will go in a dubstep direction on Glassheart. "The Syco team have asked songwriters to hand them dubstep and dance tracks with traditional lyrics for her. And they've specifically stated no ballads. It's a big change for her," a source said.

Nicki Minaj Can’t Tone Down
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Hip-Hop & Rap,
Nicki Minaj worries she always has to be outlandish.
The "Starships" singer is known for her eccentric outfits and outspoken attitude and thinks she now always has to be like that because it will disappoint people if she relaxes.
"So much is taken out of you that you lose yourself. I feel like I've set the bar too high, so I always have to be 'on.' I can identify with Marilyn Monroe in that people saw a beautiful woman, but inside was a fragile little girl," she said.
Nicki also admitted she hopes to replicate the success of hip hop mogul Jay-Z, who is involved in a variety of business ventures, including music, sport, and clubs. Discussing her song "HOV Lane," she said, "That's got so many meanings. It's the HOV Lane, which is the fast lane on the highway and Hov is Jay-Z and it talks about him being a male mogul who's done so much. That's what I want to do. I don't know if the industry is sexist or if it's just that women haven't tried to pursue the goals of being a mogul before. I can only say I'm attempting to become a mogul and doing things I've seen guys in this business do."

Lady Gaga Liberates Herself Through Reinvention
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Performances, Pop,
Pop singer Lady Gaga feels she is "liberating" herself by constantly changing her image and sound. The "You + I" singer is known for her eccentric fashion sense and straddles a number of genres on her latest album, Born This Way, a practice she has been drawn to since she was a girl.
"When I was young I had something very different inside of me. I like to liberate myself with my ability to change, the fantasy becomes my reality," she says in a new documentary Gaga By Gaultier.
The 25-year-old star - real name Stephanie Germanotta - added she never feels the urge to change her outrageous outfits for normal clothes, because her fans expect her to always be Lady Gaga:
"They're my lifestyle, it's not dressing up, a costume, a show, or a character. It's my whole life. I've been dressing like this for more than six years. While I was living in New York, I fell in love with expressing myself through clothing. I wanted to make a name for myself as a musician and stand out. I want to give my fans everything they deserve and they do not deserve sweat pants and sneakers. They deserve the real me all the time, and this is who I am."

Florence Welch’s Eclectic Concert Style
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Alternative,
Florence Welch loves dressing in outlandish outfits when she is performing, and cites one leotard she donned for a festival performance as her favorite.
“My most outrageous stage outfit was a cabaret theme with big glittery pants, a tuxedo and a bow-tie. For a festival once I wore a lime-green catsuit with a slit down to my naval. I looked like a sort of deranged superhero version of Peter Pan. I’d been on tour with MGMT, and me and Andrew VanWyngarden kept swapping outfits. He gave it to me to wear,” the Florence + the Machine star said.
