Edwards recalls crying because she thought she looked stupid wearing a man’s clothes for her girl group’s music video which came out recently to support new single ‘Confetti’.

AceShowbiz –
Little Mix star Perrie Edwards was far from happy when she discovered she’d have to dress and behave like a guy for the group’s new “Confetti” video.

The pop star admits she’s too much of a “girly-girl” to play a man and felt way out of her comfort zone.

“I actually think I cried,” Perrie told the BBC’s Nick Grimshaw. “I was like, ‘I can’t be a boy, I’m not very good at it!’ It was really hard because like, Jade was living her best life. She was like, ‘I wear baggy stuff anyway, I love being like, slouched…’ ”

Bandmate Jade Thirlwall agreed, explaining she had a blast, “It was probably the most fun we’ve ever had on a video shoot. We obviously are the male versions of ourselves…”

“It was something that we’ve wanted to do for such a long time. It took about six, seven hours getting prosthetics done for it, so we really went all in… We really delivered.”

But Perrie thought she looked “stupid” as a guy.

“I think that’s why it was good, ‘cos we just went against the stereotype and lived our best lives,” she added. “It was fun but the prosthetics, jeez. When they peeled them off at the end of the day, it was like taking off your bra. It was the best feeling in the world.”

    AceShowbiz –
    Billie Eilish, Post Malone and A$AP Rocky are heading to New York to help celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Governors Ball festival.

    Organizers had originally planned to mark the milestone last June (2020) with headliners Stevie Nicks, Missy Elliott and Tame Impala, but the three-day concert had to be scrapped when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

    Now officials have unveiled an all-new line-up to take center stage for their rescheduled gigs, which were recently postponed from this summer to the “more realistic” autumn.

    Also set to perform from September 24 to 26 are Megan Thee Stallion, J Balvin, DaBaby, new mum Ellie Goulding, Leon Bridges, Young Thug, 21 Savage, Portugal. The Man, Phoebe Bridgers, Jamie XX, Carly Rae Jepsen, Burna Boy, Bleachers and Future Islands among many others.

    About the event, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement, “Building a recovery for all of us means reconnecting with the iconic events that make New York City the greatest travel destination in the world.”

    “As more New Yorkers become vaccinated by the day, we’re proud to support arts and culture and welcome back Governors Ball and their fantastic lineup, including New York City’s own Princess Nokia, A$AP Rocky, and King Princess, among others,” he added.

    The shows will take place at the Citi Field complex in Queens.

    The inclusion of Billie to the Ball’s line-up came shortly after she was announced to be one of 2021 Met Gala’s co-chairs. On Monday, May 3, Vogue revealed that the “Bad Guy” hitmaker will take on the role alongside actor Timothee Chalamet, tennis star Naomi Osaka and poet Amanda Gorman.

    Jesy Nelson Feels Huge Wave of Relief After Little Mix Exit, Thanks Liam Payne for Reaching Out

    Instagram/WENN

    The former Little Mix member gets candid about her decision to leave the girl group, claiming she felt ‘enormous pressure’ for being constantly compared to her bandmates.

    May 5, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson has discovered she has an ally in Liam Payne should her life after band fame prove difficult.

    The 29-year-old singer, who is now embarking on a solo career, reveals the One Direction star was one of the first people to reach out to her after she announced she was leaving the girl group at the end of 2020.

    “A few band members have reached out to me,” she said. “Liam Payne from One Direction was one of them. He actually sent me a really nice message, just basically saying, if I ever wanted to talk, he’s always here, which was really lovely.”

    Nelson quit the girl group to focus on a series of personal mental health issues and, in a new interview with Cosmopolitan, she opens up a little more about her decision, recalling her breaking point came on the set of the band’s music video for its 2020 single, “Sweet Melody”.

    “On the day of the Sweet Melody video I had a panic attack on set, because I didn’t look how I wanted to look and I found it so hard to just be happy and enjoy myself. I was sobbing in the dressing room,” she shared.

    “Someone really close to me said, ‘This has got to stop. You can’t keep doing this to yourself. You’re going to end up where you were before.’ ”

    “For me, that was the pinnacle point. I was like, ‘I need to start taking care of myself now because this isn’t healthy.’ It wasn’t nice for the other three to be around someone who didn’t want to be there. So I took a break.”

    And when she finally decided to walk away from Little Mix for good, Nelson recalls feeling a huge wave of relief.

    “It was a mix of emotions,” she explained. “I was sad, but at the same time, mentally, I felt free and like a massive weight had been lifted off my shoulders because for me, I felt an enormous amount of pressure being in a girl group.”

    “The hardest part about being in a girl group for me, was constantly being compared to three other girls and not feeling as though I was good enough.”

    Nelson was recently spotted in the recording studio working on new solo material and reports suggest a handful of top labels are fighting to land her as an artist.

    WENN

    The ‘What About Love’ hitmaker has been officially announced as a special honoree at the upcoming Billboard Music Awards which is going to be hosted by Nick Jonas.

    May 5, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Pop star Pink is “humbled” after learning she will be feted with the Icon Award at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards.

    The “Just Give Me a Reason” hitmaker will also perform at the Los Angeles ceremony on 23 May (21), when she will become the 10th recipient of the top honour, which “recognises outstanding artists who have achieved excellence on the Billboard charts and have made an indelible mark on music itself,” according to event organisers.

    Sharing her joy at the news, Pink says, “As a little girl, I always dreamed about being a singer and sharing my love of music with the world. Years later, to receive the Billboard Music Awards Icon Award is hard to fathom.”

    “I feel so honoured to join the ranks of music idols like Cher, Garth Brooks, Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder. It’s a true ‘pinch me’ moment and I feel humbled and blessed.”

    Previous superstars to receive the accolade also include Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, and Celine Dion.

    The upcoming Billboard Music Awards will be hosted by Nick Jonas. The Weeknd who was snubbed at this year’s Grammys leads the nominees with a total of sixteen mentions, thanks to his hit studio album “After Hours”.

    Lucinda Williams Hopes to Make Live Concert Return in the Summer After Secret 2020 Stroke

    Instagram

    The ‘Can’t Let Go’ singer reveals that she spent a week in intensive care and a month of therapy at a Nashville hospital after struggling to maintain her balance in the bathroom of her home.

    May 4, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Americana singer/songwriter Lucinda Williams is eyeing a summer return to the stage after suffering a secret stroke last year (2020).

    The “Can’t Let Go” star reveals she was hospitalized on November 17 after struggling to maintain her balance in the bathroom of her home in Nashville, Tennessee, and admitted to Vanderbilt Medical Center, where she spent a week in intensive care, before undergoing a month of therapy as an in-patient.

    Luckily, Williams didn’t suffer any speech problems or any lasting brain damage, and is expected to make a full recovery, and she has been working on regaining her strength ever since she was discharged just before Christmas.

    “What happens is your brain gets all… the wires get all crossed and you have to retrain your brain basically, to tell your arm to do whatever it is you’re trying to do,” Williams told Rolling Stone. “So that’s the biggest challenge.”

    Addressing the team of medical aides and therapists who make regular visits to her home, she said, “It feels like we’re in somebody else’s house. I do, like, walking, with the cane and they watch me and see how well I’m doing. And then I have to do hand and arm exercises. It’s really about regaining my strength and mobility, and range of motion. That’s what they work with me on.”

      See also…

    Williams and her husband, Tom Overby, have only recently started to tell close friends about the health scare, but the musician was hesitant about making an online announcement because she didn’t want to turn it into a big deal.

    “I thought about going to Facebook, but I didn’t want to make it a big, alarming thing,” she shared. “Because you know how Facebook is – everybody’s like, ‘We’re praying for you and everything,’ you know? I didn’t want people to overreact. I kind of felt like going off the grid a little bit.”

    Williams had to cancel a planned performance at the weekend’s (May 1 and 2) Mile 0 Festival in Key West, Florida due to her ongoing recovery, but she is hoping to be fit enough to make her live concert return this summer.

    “I feel good and positive about playing again. We’ve got some shows scheduled with Jason Isbell for late July and we’re planning on doing those,” she declared. “I don’t know if I’ll stand up and sing or I’ll sit down like an old blues person. But we’ll figure it out.”

    She added, “The main thing is I can still sing. I’m singing my a** off, so that hasn’t been affected. Can’t keep me down for too long.”

    Jennifer Lopez Celebrates Mother's Day Early as She Brings Mom on Stage at Vax Live Concert

    Instagram

    The ‘On the Floor’ hitmaker introduces her mother to fans as she invites the matriarch to join her on stage and perform a duet at the Global Citizen concert in Los Angeles.

    May 4, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Jennifer Lopez celebrated America’s Mother’s Day (09May21) holiday one week early after inviting her mum to join her for a mini duet onstage at Global Citizen’s VAX Live: The Concert to Reunite the World event.

    The show was pre-taped in Los Angeles on Sunday (02May21), when J.Lo decided to introduce the audience to her mother, Guadalupe Rodriguez, as she prepared to perform a rendition of Neil Diamond’s classic hit “Sweet Caroline”.

    Explaining how the COVID-19 pandemic had forced the close pair to spend months apart, the superstar told the crowd, “(I) didn’t even get to spend Christmas with my mum this year – first time in my whole life. We’ve been away (for) too long, but she’s here with me tonight and she is vaccinated.”

    “And when I was thinking about what song to sing tonight, I remembered the song she used to always sing to me when I was a baby,” Jennifer continued. “So if you would indulge me, I’d love to sing that one tonight.”

    Guadalupe was brought out onstage halfway through the tune, and shared how she used to customise the lyrics to sing, “Sweet Jennifer,” to her baby girl.

    “OK, we’re going to sing that. Let’s do it like a lullaby. Sing it to them just like you used to sing it to me, OK?” J.Lo instructed her mum, before launching into the duet.

    Elsewhere in her set, the singer/actress celebrated the fact everyone in attendance could be “all here in the same room” as she also saluted the “beautiful” individuals taking part.

    “We’ve been away from our loved ones for too long, but we’re back,” she smiled.

    “But while it’s getting better for us, there are people all over the world, especially in Africa, India and in the Latin world who still need our help and our vaccines,” she continued. “That’s why we’re here tonight.”

    Selena Gomez hosted the big fundraising gig, while Oscar winner H.E.R., Foo Fighters, Eddie Vedder, and J Balvin also hit the stage.

    There were additional appearances from U.S. President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as the likes of Olivia Munn, Chrissy Teigen, Sean Penn, J.Lo’s ex Ben Affleck, and Prince Harry, who delivered an impassioned speech, encouraging people to work together to help end the COVID-19 pandemic by improving access to testing facilities and vaccinations to those in poverty-stricken nations.

    Global Citizen’s VAX Live: The Concert to Reunite the World is set to air in the U.S. on Saturday (08May21).

    The Weeknd Remains Uninterested in Joining Grammys Despite Changes in Nomination Process

    WENN

    The ‘Blinding Lights’ hitmaker still refuses to be a part of the Grammys although he commends the organization for shutting down nomination review committees.

    May 4, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    The Weeknd has applauded Grammy bosses for axing their nomination review committees, but insists the move isn’t enough for him to reconsider boycotting the prizegiving.

    The “Blinding Lights” singer called out the “secret committees” as he announced his decision to step away from the Grammys after he was surprisingly shut out of nominations for his 2020 album “After Hours”, insisting the nominating process was unfair and Grammy bosses were “corrupt.”

    His comments sparked an investigation by leaders of the Recording Academy, who last week announced they were scrapping the controversial Grammy nomination review committees.

    The Weeknd has acknowledged the decision in a new statement, insisting it won’t be enough to bring him back to the Grammys.

      See also…

    “Even though I won’t be submitting my music, the Grammys’ recent admission of corruption will hopefully be a positive move for the future of this plagued award (show) and give the artist community the respect it deserves with a transparent voting process,” he writes.

    The Recording Academy’s decision means that a panel of unnamed committee members will no longer decide the final list of names on ballots in dozens of major categories.

    In a statement to Variety, The Weeknd added, “The trust has been broken for so long between the Grammy organization and artists that it would be unwise to raise a victory flag. I think the industry and public alike need to see the transparent system truly at play for the win to be celebrated, but it’s an important start. I remain uninterested in being a part of the Grammys, especially with their own admission of corruption for all these decades. I will not be submitting in the future.”

    The singer’s manager, Wassim Slaiby, added, “No change comes without a voice heard. I’m just proud of Abel for standing up for what he believes in. I was in a shock when all this happened, but now I see it clearly, and I’m glad we stood for our beliefs.”

    Artist of the Week: Soulja Boy

    Instagram

    The ‘Crank That’ hitmaker is back atop the charts with his new party anthem ‘She Make It Clap’ which is released to tide fans over while preparing for his next studio album.

    May 3, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Soulja Boy returned with a bang this year. He released a new banger “She Make It Clap” and the single blew up on the internet. It quickly became a new favorite among music fans, trending on Twitter and sparking a new craze of viral dance on TikTok.

    The beat is infectious, the lyrics are perfect for revellers, and the music video is fun with a lot of twerking girls and cameos from famous guests like Chief Keef and Desiigner. The song was released following his record deal with Virgin Music.

    It propelled the “Crank That” hitmaker back to No. 1 on Billboard chart. It jumped from No. 19 to the first place on the Top Triller U.S. and bowed at No. 4 on Top Triller Global. If the early chart performance is any indication, it’s expected to climb up high on Billboard Hot 100.

    While riding high on the success of his latest single, Soulja Boy is gearing up for his next studio installment. A follow-up to his 2015 album “Loyalty”, the new LP was originally set for release in 2019 but it’s delayed following his incarceration.

    According to his manager, the rapper is now in a better place following his prison stint. “The jail just woke him up,” the manager claimed in an interview with HipHopDX.

    “He’s moving different and the jail taught him a lot. I hate that it had to be jail to do that, but sometimes you can lead a horse to water, you cant make them drink it. Hes totally a different person, the cat is real respectful now and he looks at things differently. The cat told me he loved me the other day, he never told me that.”

    Besides a new album, the lyricist is working on a documentary. “More people want to deal with him now because he’s not wilding out. He’s on the grown man stuff. So, he wants to venture more into movies and stuff like that,” the manager explained.
