    “But in lieu of that, we’re going to be doing a livestream tomorrow so make sure you join us… We have some special announcements…”
    “It’s gonna be pretty awesome. We have some things to talk to you about…,” Joe shared with a smile, as Kevin concluded, “We hope everyone is staying safe, (and) healthy. We love you, we miss you. We’ll see you tomorrow.”

    Liam Payne Knows Zayn Malik's Heart Was Not in One Direction Long Before Departure

    WENN

    Speaking about his former bandmate, the ‘Strip That Down’ hitmaker recalls the time the ‘Pillowtalk’ singer told the band he was forced to go to ‘The X Factor U.K.’ audition by his mother.
    Apr 23, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Liam Payne knew Zayn Malik wouldn’t stay in One Direction as his mum had to convince him to aim for pop stardom.
    The band was formed by Simon Cowell and producers from five contestants on U.K. talent show “The X Factor” in 2010, going on to finish third but becoming that year’s most commercially successful act.
    However, Liam reveals that he always knew Zayn’s heart wasn’t in the band long before his departure in March 2015, as the “Pillowtalk” hitmaker told his bandmates his mum convinced him to audition against his instincts.
    “I remember Zayn telling us the story that it was his mum got him to go to the audition the day he didn’t want to go and that was literally what we saw all the way through One Direction,” the “Strip That Down” hitmaker tells Britain’s Daily Star newspaper.
    Discussing his former bandmate’s attitude, he says that the Pillowtalk hitmaker, who hasn’t performed live since 2016 due to anxiety issues, loves making music, but hates the trappings of fame.
    “Some people are made for this thing but Zayn enjoys the side of the music where he just gets to make music,” Liam explains. “I don’t think he enjoys what comes with it. I think he has to be very careful where he treads.”
    “He likes to make songs and his songs do very well but at the same time he doesn’t really like to go out and perform the songs. He doesn’t really like going out and doing the press stuff that surrounds it in the crazy little world that we live in.”

    The ‘Born This Way’ hitmaker’s delayed sixth studio album has also been uncovered to feature a duet with Elton John after Target made it available for pre-order on its website.
    Apr 23, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Ariana Grande, Elton John and K-pop supergroup BLACKPINK will join Lady GaGa for songs on her next album if a leaked tracklisting is anything to go by.

    “Chromatica” was scheduled for release this month, but it has been delayed indefinitely due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

    “This is such a hectic and scary time for all of us, and while I believe art is one of the strongest things we have to provide joy and healing to each other during times like this, it just doesn’t feel right to me to release this album with all that is going on during this global pandemic,” Lady GaGa wrote in a note on Twitter.

    French Montana Clears the Air After Saying That He'd 'Outshine' Kendrick Lamar on Festival Stage

    WENN

    Despite the explanation, fans on Twitter continue to come at the ‘Unforgettable’ hitmaker with one fan noting to French that Kendrick’s ‘main focus isn’t making hits.’
    Apr 23, 2020
    AceShowbiz – French Montana is setting the record straight. In a recent interview with Complex News, the rapper discussed his success in the hip-hop industry, insinuating that he would easily beat anyone including Kendrick Lamar. The statements earned him some hate comments, but French refused to change his mind in their favor.
    “I could go against anybody,” he said during the said interview. “You could put somebody like Kendrick Lamar next to me on the same stage at a festival, I might outshine him. Not because I’m a better rapper, or whatever it is. It’s just that I got more hits.”
    He went on explaining, “Kendrick Lamar got albums. He got masterpieces. But if you want to put us on the festival stage, I would outshine him because I have more hits than Kendrick Lamar.”
    As soon as the video of the interview hit the web, some users started to clown French for it. The “Welcome to the Party” spitter caught wind of it, and took to his Twitter account to share more insight into his opinion on the matter.
    “IF WE JUST TALKING ABOUT ANTHEMS, !! ME VS KENDRICK HIT FOR HIT ! I BELIEVE I CAN GO NECK TO NECK !!” French insisted. “I BEEN MAKING HITS FOR A LONG TIME ! IT AINT MY FAULT I BELIEVE IN MYSELF. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION ? HOW MANY TIMES I GOTTA PROVE MYSELF BEFORE I GET MINE.”
    Assuring that there’s no bad blood between him and Kendrick, French added, “I love kendrick! that’s not just for kendrick that’s to anybody they put in front of me, and ask me that same question that u want me to say lol ? It should be your attitude too. If u think any less of yourself don’t blame it on the next person who don’t ! set it up.”

    Despite the explanation, fans continued to come at French. To someone who noted that Kendrick’s “main focus isn’t making hits,” French responded, “My point exactly! He is a different artist. I was just sayin, I’ll win that part. He is gonna win everything else but give me mines lol.”
    “I was talking about hits, we can go neck to neck,” French wrote. “Not taking nothing away from him, just standing for myself.”

    Michael Jackson Livid as Madonna Told Him to 'Dress Like a Girl'

    Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds recalls what the late King of Pop told him, ‘ ‘Babyface, can you believe she wants me to dress like a girl?’ He was like, ‘I’d never do that.’ ‘
    Apr 23, 2020
    AceShowbiz – During Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds’ record-breaking Instagram Live battle with Teddy Riley, the former spilled some tea about Michael Jackson. Among them was the moment when the late King of Pop got so mad at Madonna for asking him to dress up like a girl for his “In the Closet” music video.
    In between songs, Babyface recalled what MJ told him, ” ‘Babyface, can you believe she wants me to dress like a girl?’ He was like, ‘I’d never do that.’ He said, ‘She was trying to change it all up. It was crazy.’ ” The record producer then mentioned that the “Heal the World” hitmaker “was really mad about it,” to the point where he decided to replace the Queen of Pop with Naomi Campbell.
    Produced by MJ and Teddy Riley, “In the Closet” was released in April 1992 as the third single off his eighth album “Dangerous”. It became the album’s third consecutive top ten single as it peaked at No. 6 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. The song additionally topped Billboard’s R&B songs chart.
    The song was originally conceived as a duet between the “Beat It” singer and Madonna. In an interview with British journalist Jonathan Ross back in 1992, the “Like a Virgin” hitmaker claimed that she worked on some lyrical ideas for the song but when she presented them to Michael, he decided they were too provocative and they decided not to continue with the project.
    She said at the time, “I started writing words and getting ideas and stuff and I presented them to him and he didn’t like them. I think all he wanted was a provocative title, and ultimately he didn’t want the content of the song to… sort of, live up to the title.”
