    Shania Twain 'Very Proud' of Brad Pitt Despite Iconic Lyrics in 'That Don't Impress Me Much'

    Speaking of her 1997 hit song that is still so popular more than 20 years after its release, the ‘You’re Still the One’ singer admits, ‘I didn’t realize it would go this far or be memorable.’
    Mar 16, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Shania Twain has reversed her view of Brad Pitt, after famously singing the actor didn’t “impress” her “much.”
    Back in 1997, the Canadian star dropped her massive hit “That Don’t Impress Me Much”, which included the lyric, “Okay, so you’re Brad Pitt – that don’t impress me much!”
    However, Shania, now 54, has had time to re-think the line, and she told Britain’s The Daily Telegraph she is now a huge fan of the 56-year-old Oscar winner.
    “I must say I’m very impressed by Brad’s wonderful career,” she gushed, praising his role in director Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” which earned Pitt the gong last month (February).
    “He’s been getting some great accolades recently, so I’m very proud of Brad,” Shania added. “I hope he takes it (old lyric) with the sense of humour that was intended.”
    The “Up!” singer added she’s amazed her old hit is still so popular more than 20 years after its release, telling the publication: “I like to write with a sense of humour… I didn’t realise it would go this far or be memorable. I’m thrilled that reference has lasted the test of time.”

    Jade Thirwall on Little Mix's Split From Simon Cowell's Label: That Really F**ked Us Over

    WENN/Michael Wright/Instar

    Describing the transition period as ‘troublesome,’ the bandmate of Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock assures that her group are now ‘in a good place.’
    Mar 16, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jade Thirlwall has opened up about Little Mix’s “troublesome” split from Simon Cowell’s Syco record label.
    The four-piece British group called time on their working relationship with Syco during the recording of their fifth album “LM5”, and moved over to RCA. The decision came after the girls reportedly fell out with label boss Cowell, and Jade touched on the rumours as she discussed the move during an interview with Britain’s The Sun newspaper.
    Asked why there wasn’t much female empowerment in their recent music videos, Jade replied: “We did a little bit but we had a switch of labels during the LM5 process and that really f**ked us over.”
    “It was harder to put all our creativity out there in the way we would have liked. The LM5 album was very heavily (focussed)on women’s rights and our experiences in the industry. We’re sort of cruising at the moment. That period in our careers was quite troublesome.”
    But now Jade and her bandmates Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock are in a much better position, and are currently hard at work on their next album.
    “I feel like now we’re in a good place — we’re with RCA and we’re working on a new record, which is really exciting. We’ve learnt to really stick to our guns and do what we believe in,” Jade smiled.

    Donald Glover's New Album Taken Down 12 Hours After Surprise Release

    WENN

    The untitled, 12-track album, which includes a collaboration with Ariana Grande, was streamed on the ‘Atlanta’ star’s website on Sunday, March 15 before it is removed.
    Mar 16, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Donald Glover’s surprise new album could no longer be found online. Less than 24 hours after the 12-track record was made available for listening through a website called DonaldGloverPresents.com, the “This Is America” hitmaker’s untitled project has been mysteriously taken down.
    The release of the album itself was first brought to awareness by a Twitter user who simply tweeted, “Donald Glover Presents donaldgloverpresents.com.” It was a reference to the website where the tracks were played on loop as well as the title of Glover’s partnership with Adidas. It was retweeted by his manager Fam Rothstein, whose account and retweet have since been deleted.
    Dropped on Sunday, March 15, Glover’s new album includes previously released tracks like 2018’s “Feels Like Summer”, 2019’s “Algorythm” and “Warlords” which the “Atlanta” star performed live at the 2019 Coachella. It also features an unconfirmed collaboration with Ariana Grande in a tune titled “Time” and with 21 Savage in “Vibrate”, which is also believed to have also featured SZA.
    One song from Glover’s new album has reportedly also included an appearance by one of his sons. In the outro of “Don’t Worry About Tomorrow (The Violence)”, the 36-year-old who is also known as Childish Gambino could be heard asking, “Who do you love?/ Me?” To which, his son replied, “Yeah,” before adding, “Mom and Hulalo. And Santa/ And I Love-and I love Roland/ And I love myself.”
    The LP, which came a little over three years after the release of “Awaken, My Love!”, included such titles as “Little Foot Big Foot Get Out The Way”, “Why Go To The Party”, “Under the Sun”, “We Are We Are We Are”, “Beautiful” and “Sweet Thang / Thank You”.
    Donald Glover Presents website has yet to provide information regarding the takedown or the album itself. Still, a black and white illustration of a large crowd gathering together outdoors was released when the album was played on loop in the website prior to the removal.

    David Foster Voices Disappointment After Coronavirus Forces Rescheduling of Spring Tour

    Instagram

    In a statement he released via social media, the music producer husband of Katharine McPhee apologizes for the inconvenience, but stresses on the health and safety of the communities.
    Mar 16, 2020
    AceShowbiz – David Foster and his wife Katharine McPhee are rescheduling all of the dates on their upcoming spring tour due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
    The 70-year-old music producer and songwriter previously rescheduled his March concert dates due to a medical procedure and now that the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared coronavirus a pandemic, he has decided to postpone the rest of the tour as well.
    “We have all been closely following the recommendations around COVID-19 and today we collectively made the tough, but we think wise decision, to reschedule our spring tour,” he wrote on Instagram. “The health and safety of the communities involved is top priority and based on the information from the CDC and the local governments in our touring cities, we feel this is the best decision.”
    David continued: “I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause some of you and hope to make it up to you at the rescheduled dates, which will be announced soon. Tickets purchased for this tour will be honored at the new dates and inquiries regarding refunds can be directed to the box office where tickets were purchased.”
    “I think I can easily say that no one is more disappointed than myself and the great performers that were to join me on stage each night. We hope you all stay safe and healthy and that we see you in the near future,” the message concluded.

    The tour was set to resume in mid-April, and was supposed to run until mid-May. The cancellation follows similar measures from stars including Cher, Madonna, Mariah Carey, and Billie Eilish, whose performances have all been affected by the outbreak.

    Artist of the Week: Lady GaGa

    With her flamboyant stage show and costumes, as well as her music that resonates with young and old alike, the superstar sold more than 27 million albums in just a few years into her career.
    Mar 16, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa is truly one of the best pop sensations in this decade. With her flamboyant stage show and costumes, as well as her music that resonates with young and old alike, the superstar sold more than 27 million albums in just a few years into her career and has a massive, devoted fans called Little Monsters.
    Making a name for herself since her debut album “The Flame” in 2007, GaGa recently made a comeback with a new single entitled “Stupid Love”. The new song additionally marked her return to her theatrical pop root after she switched style on her last album “Joanne”.
    Considering this, it’s only natural that people were very hyped over her new single. “Stupid Love” debuted at No. 5 on Billboard’s Hot 100, becoming her sixteenth single to make it to the top five of the weekly chart. It also marked her highest-debuting entry since “The Edge of Glory” launched at No. 3 almost nine years ago.
    Not only doing well on music charts, but “Stupid Love” also received praises from critics. For instance, Harper’s Bazaar described the song as “upbeat cut with big vocals and dance and electronic-inspired production,” seemingly “poised to be another radio hit from the singer.”
    Meanwhile, Spencer Kornhaber of The Atlantic called the single a “glorious comeback” and a “return to form not only for the singer, but also for her genre.” Heaping praises for GaGa, he continued, “Gaga’s voice is so big and personable that a sense of humanity remains intact.”
    “Stupid Love” is set to be included on GaGa’s upcoming album “Chromatica”. She previously said of the record, “We are definitely dancing… I put all my heart, all my pain, all my messages from the other realm that I hear of… what they tell me to tell the world and I put it into music that I believe to be so fun and you know, energetically really pure. I want people to dance and feel happy. I would like to put out music that a big chunk of the world will hear, and it will become a part of their daily lives and make them happy every single day.”
    “Chromatica” will hit the stores on April 10.

    J Balvin Proposes Release Delay for 'Colores' to Fans

    WENN/Instar

    Set to launch his brand new album on March 20, the ‘Mi Gente’ singer asks his devotees if he should postpone its release as people around the world deal with the ongoing spread of coronavirus.
    Mar 16, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Colombian star J Balvin has proposed postponing the upcoming release of his new album in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.
    The “Mi Gente” singer is set to launch “Colores” next Friday (March 20), but he appears to be having second thoughts about sharing the project at a time when so many people are more concerned about the health and safety of themselves and their loved ones than the release of any new music.
    Turning to fans for their input on Thursday night, Balvin posted a question in Spanish on social media, which roughly translates to, “My people, should we stop the release of ‘Colores’ on March 20th or should we go out and give colour in this grey moment?”

    Many insisted he should stick to the release date, arguing that music brings joy and happiness during tough times – especially when people around the world are facing possible quarantine in a bid to halt the spread of the COVID-19 disease.
    Label bosses at Universal Music are still currently preparing to drop the new material next week.

    People Say 'No' to Yaya Mayweather's Music Career Plan

    Twitter

    After watching the sneak-peek video of her unreleased song, one person urges Yaya’s famous father Floyd Mayweather, Jr. to take action, writing, ‘where is Floyd he need to step in at this point.’
    Mar 16, 2020
    AceShowbiz – It seems like people are not feeling Yaya Mayweather’s music. The daughter of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. recently took to her Instagram account to treat her followers to a sneak-peek at her song before asking for their opinion on the tune.
    The video saw the girlfriend of NBA YoungBoy (YoungBoy Never Broke Again) donning a gray sweatshirt which has camouflage pattern on the sleeves and the hoodie. She was featured lip syncing to her unreleased song.
    Seemingly planning to release the song if people love it, Yaya put a poll on the post. “Should I drop this song?” she asked, giving her online devotees a yes or no option. Majority of people, however, voted for no as it made up 53% of the voting result.

    Feeling unsurprised by the results, some Internet users alluded that her music wasn’t that good for her to start a career in the hip-hop industry. “She need to keep that sht to herself,” one suggested. Meanwhile, another person wrote that those who voted no was “Everyone who not tone deaf,” with someone else adding, “EVERYBODY SHOULDVE VOTED NO lol.”
    Some others were baffled by the fact that Yaya got any yes. “I’m mad at the 47% who said yes,” a user said. “& everybody that said yes just want her to embarrass herself,” one other echoed the sentiment.
    People also noted that Yaya seemed to be struggling mouthing the lyrics in the video. “How you don’t know yo own lyrics,” one person wondered. Another person, meanwhile, urged Floyd to take action, writing, “where is Floyd he need to step in at this point.” Someone also mocked Yaya’s song, joking that it was “worse” than the Coronavirus disease.
    Yaya has yet to comment on the clownery.
