    “The nation, indeed the world, needs a school that will bring together children from many nations, many cultures, all races and religions, not simply to study and tolerate on another, but to learn from and celebrate their differences,” commented Hamilton Warren, Verde Valley School Founder.
    Jackson Browne also said, “Verde Valley School was founded to be a peace academy – a school in which you study with international students and you promote an understanding of the ways in which the world can be harnessed for good and that we can all work towards peace. I still think that that’s one of the most important ways of changing the world, and that is by educating ourselves and each other – those children as the path to the future. It’s really all we’ve got: our kids.”

    Matt Bellamy Gains Inspiration From 2020 Protests and Chaos for New Muse Album

    Instagram

    Since COVID-19 pandemic put a halt on tour plan for his supergroup The Jaded Hearts Club, the ‘Absolution’ hitmaker reveals that has been writing fresh materials for his original rock band.
    Oct 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Matt Bellamy has started work on a new Muse album inspired by the “protests and chaos” that have filled 2020.
    The “Absolution” hitmaker had been focusing on his supergroup, The Jaded Hearts Club, as well as solo material – but the COVID-19 pandemic means they have been unable to tour in support of new album “You’ve Always Been Here”.
    However, Matt’s been inspired by the chaos caused by the coronavirus and the Black Lives Matter protests that swept the world this summer to begin work on a new Muse record.
    “I’ve started writing a new Muse album as well (as working with The Jaded Hearts Club),” he tells British newspaper The Sun. “I started writing when all the protests and all the chaos were kicking off. It’s a weird thing to say but it suits the music I write. It keeps you a little bit on edge.”

    His Jaded Hearts Club bandmate Graham Coxon is in no rush to return to his group, Blur, however, as he wants to play live with Matt and fellow members Miles Kane, Nic Cester, Sean Payne and Jamie Davis.
    “Everyone is just doing their own things at the moment,” he says. “The Jaded Hearts Club was what I was doing and getting ready to play more shows.”
    “I hope we get to play more live gigs next year. I’m looking forward to getting closer to everyone because this thing should be in front of an audience. These are emotional songs with amazing choruses you can sing along to and dance.”
    The Jaded Hearts Club’s debut collection, “You’ve Always Been Here”, is out now.

    Oct 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – It looks like Nicki Minaj and Cardi B are really putting their past beef behind them. Rumors have been running rampant saying that the two rap superstars have a new collaboration coming soon, and now a possible snippet of the said joint song has been leaked on the Internet.
    Titled “Lavish”, the song is allegedly produced by Mike WiLL Made It. The 7-second snippet simply finds Nicki and Cardi shouting out their signature lines without going into the female emcee’s respective verses. Further adding fuel to the rumors, the song has been listed on Genius before being removed from the music site.

    Not stopping there, Cardi appeared to tease the tune when she was feuding with both her own fanbase and Nicki’s, who were infamous for taking a jab at each other. “Since ya mad ..imma give ya something mad to be about …..This next single and coll- ….Gonna have ya sick ….since ya here,” the “WAP” hitmaker wrote on Twitter.
    People later speculated that she was talking about “Lavish”. “Is it Lavish?! Because I REALLY NEED A CARDI AND NICKI Collab!” one person said. “Like sis I know you guys are living your best life and y’all just doing your shit and Nicki doing her shit. But imma barb and a bardi…..AND I NEED A BARBARDI COLLAB NEOW throw some MEGAN IN DAT TOO.”
    Someone was just as excited, tweeting in all-caps, “NICKI CARDI COLLAB COMINGGGGGGGH LAVISH IS COMINGGGG GIRLS GET READYY.” Meanwhile, another commented, “Y’all She posted this right after arguing with the BARBZ….and the Nicki and cardi Lavish leaks…I’m just saying…Cardi X Nicki may be coming.”
    Should the rumors be true, this will be the second time Nicki and Cardi collaborate. The two previously teamed up together with Migos for the trio’s “MotoSports”.

    Mariah Carey May Have a Collaboration With Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson Coming Soon

    WENN/Apega/Michael Boardman

    It is all because the ‘When You Believe’ singer shares on social media a photo showing on-set director’s chairs with the initials of the three songstresses on the back.
    Oct 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Now that the end of the year is fast approaching, so does the holiday season. And when it comes to Christmas, of course it’s gotta be Mariah Carey. The New York diva recently teased her upcoming “Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas”, which is going to be streamed on Apple TV, and it’d seemingly feature Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson.
    It is all because of the recent photo Mariah uploaded on social media to tease her upcoming release. In the photo, people could see three chairs with the three singers’ own initials written on it as Mariah captioned the snap with a Christmas tree emoji. This made people suspect that her new collaboration will feature Ariana and Jennifer.

    Unsurprisingly enough, people went wild over the possibility. “OMG IF THIS IS ARIANA MARIAH AND JHUD I WILL CRY,” one person was so excited s/he wrote in all-caps. “not an Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson collab…..20th #1 incoming,” another was equally hyped, even predicting that the “Hero” singer will have another No. 1 song on Billboard’s Hot 100 due to this collaboration.
    Meanwhile, an individual compared it to Mariah’s collaboration with Whitney Houston, “When You Believe”. The said person commented, “SCREAMING. THIS IS A WHITNEY + MARIAH moment but in modern day, with Mariah….. Iconic.” Someone else chimed in, “Yall…if AG stands for Ariana Grande I may actually pass out! Like full out faint! It would be the moment we all never thought we would get…also JH has to be Jennifer Hudson! I’m shaking!”
    Should the speculation be true, it would really put feud rumors between Ariana and Mariah to rest. Previous reports suggested that the two singers were not on good terms since people kept comparing them with each other. Mariah’s ex, Nick Cannon, previously said of their beef in an interview, “This is what Mariah hates, and Ariana made the cardinal mistake of saying–or I don’t even know if it was her–but, it was associated. It was like, ‘the next’ or ‘the new’ Mariah Carey. [And she’s like] ‘The f**k does that mean?’ I’m the Mariah Carey, why do you need another one? Why do you need the next one?'”

    “I just love everything that she does and she sent me the book and I don’t even know what to do with myself because she’s got so many people that love her, you know, and I’m just really grateful. I can’t wait to read it.”

    Bebe Rexha Gets Candid About Insecurities on Doja Cat Collab 'Baby, I'm Jealous'

    Instagram

    Unlike the ‘Me, Myself and I’ singer who is talking about her insecurities on the new tune, the ‘Say So’ hitmaker takes the confident route on her own verse.
    Oct 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Bebe Rexha has finally returned with new music. For her first release of the year, the singer teamed up with Doja Cat for a collaboration entitled “Baby, I’m Jealous” that made its way out on Friday midnight, October 9.
    Her new song finds Bebe getting candid about her insecurities as she sings, “Went from beautiful to ugly/ ‘Cause insecurity told me you don’t love me/ All it takes is a girl above me/ On your timeline to make me nothing.” Unlike Bebe, Doja takes on the confident route on her own verse, “Baby, I’m a bad b***h/ If he fiendin’ he’ll prolly get a catfish/ Keep him dreamin’ to pull up on a nap, s**t.”

      See also…

    Bebe and Doja have also been teasing that a music video for the new tune will be released soon, with Hannah Lux Davis serving as the helmer. It’s unclear when the female musicians are going to unleash the visuals, though.
    “Baby, I’m Jealous” is most likely going to be included on Bebe’s forthcoming second studio album. The “Me, Myself & I” singer confirmed the project last year, explaining in an interview with Bang Showbiz, “I am heading off to the studio now and I am just creating, creating and creating.”
    Earlier this year, Bebe revealed to Ryan Seacrest at the 2020 Grammy Awards that her new album is inspired by her mental health journey. “I talk about everything. I’m bipolar and I’ve been very honest about mental health so I talk about that but it’s in a pop song so you can’t tell. I talk about my relationships — super deep stuff,” she said at the time. “The album is about a lot of my insecurities and fears so every song has to do with an insecurity that I have because I feel like people can relate to that.”

    Faux Donald Trump Indulges in Women in YG's 'Jealous' Music Video

    [embedded content]

    The rapper also slams POTUS over his infamous tax scandal through the music video, displaying the words, ‘I don’t pay taxes,’ while the faux Trump mouths the lyrics to his song.
    Oct 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – It’s a known fact that YG hates Donald Trump to the core. Reminding his fans how much he dislikes POTUS, the hip-hop star released a music video for “Jealous” on Thursday, October 8 that features a faux Trump performing un-presidential activities in the Oval Office.
    It opens with the faux Trump playing the piano before the scene then changes to show him mouthing the lyrics of the song in front of Air Force One. “They jealous, they envious of me/ I’m rich as f**k, I’m poppin’ got it poppin’ off a beat,” he raps. “I’m f**kin’ on they b***hes they payin’ out here for free (Free)/ I’m stylin’ with no stylist, stay clean, I got OCD (Stylin’).”

    Later scenes show faux Trump inviting scantily-clad women to the Oval Office as the ladies begin performing their sexy dance moves as one girl twerks in front of his face. He’s clearly liking the view as he sticks his tongue out when she is busy busting her body. YG also slams Trump by displaying the words, “I don’t pay taxes,” while the faux president continues rapping to his song. It’s a clear reference to reports that he only paid $750 in federal income taxes.
    “Jealous” is one of the songs off his latest album, “My Life 4Hunnid”, which was released last week. Speaking of the album in an interview with Zane Lowe, YG explained that the effort was highly influenced by Tupac Shakur. “This is as far as the space I’m in and what I’m dealing with in life. He went through a lot of the stuff that I’m dealing with right now, and he was making records about it, and just the tone and the cadence of how he was coming up. I was playing with a lot of that type of sway of Tupac,” he said at the time.
