    Kelly Clarkson Pens 60 Songs as She Deals With Heartache After Brandon Blackstock Split

    WENN

    The ‘Kelly Clarkson Show’ host reveals she has written ‘an insane amount’ of songs while she’s struggling with grief after calling it quits with her husband.

    Feb 27, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Kelly Clarkson has turned to music to ease her marriage-split heartache, revealing she has written 60 songs since filing for divorce last summer (20).
    The singer split from her manager husband Brandon Blackstock in June (20) and quickly filed papers to end their seven-year marriage – and it appears the break-up has served as inspiration for Kelly’s creativity.
    “I have this record that we’re working on and it’s really great and really honest,” she tells Entertainment Tonight. “There’s just a lot of questions that I have to answer before releasing it for myself, whether that be business-wise or personally, or whatever. Whatever happens though, it is such a gift.”

    “I don’t know how anybody… goes through grief like divorce, any kind of grief, any kind of loss, without having an outlet like this. I have written, like, 60 songs, it is an insane amount of getting it out. I think that’s a blessing in itself. Anytime you go through some life, it’s such an awesome thing to have that outlet, regardless of whether people hear it or not.”
    And it’s not just her own music that is inspiring Clarkson – her pal and fellow “The Voice” coach John Legend’s 2020 album, “Bigger Love”, has been a great source of hope.
    “It’s all about that kind of love that you find, that kind of connection you find, and it was so helpful for me,” she adds. “Just separately – as a fan, not friend – just to be in a place where you’re hopeless and then to have a record like that, that’s what I’m saying.”

    “In a time when there’s so much wrong with this broken planet, we all crave healing – and justice – for humanity,” said Bieber in a statement. “In creating this album, my goal is to make music that will provide comfort; to make songs that people can relate to, and connect to, so they feel less alone.”
    “Suffering, injustice and pain can leave people feeling helpless. Music is a great way of reminding each other that we aren’t alone. Music can be a way to relate to one another and connect with one another.”

    “I know that I cannot simply solve injustice by making music, but I do know that if we all do our part by using our gifts to serve this planet, and each other, that we are that much closer to being united. This is me doing a small part… I want to continue the conversation of what justice looks like so we can continue to heal.”

    Jonas Brothers Deny Split Rumors, Promise 'Exciting Stuff' Is Coming

    WENN

    Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas have set the record straight on the rumors suggesting that their ‘reunion is over’ ahead of Nick’s new solo single and Joe’s upcoming movie.

    Feb 26, 2021
    AceShowbiz – The Jonas Brothers have denied they are splitting up again and teased new music is in the pipeline.
    The “Sucker” hitmakers – comprising siblings Joe, Nick, and Kevin Jonas – have quashed a recent report that suggested their reunion was “effectively over” and told fans on Twitter that they have some “exciting stuff” coming up “together and apart.”
    Marking the second anniversary to the day the trio announced their comeback (24Feb21), they wrote, “That day and every day that followed has meant everything to us Red heart Playing music together, getting back on the road, seeing all of your faces in the crowd, hearing your stories… Our 2019 (and even some of 2020!) was so special and it’s all because of how amazing you guys are … We have the best fans in the world and we love you so much! We all have a ton of exciting stuff coming (together and apart Winking face) and we can’t wait for you guys to hear all about it.”

    The clarification comes after Nick announced his new solo single, “Spaceman”, while Joe was recently cast in the upcoming war movie “Devotion”.
    In February last year, the siblings revealed they had been “working hard” on a new album, but coronavirus then hit before they could announce the record.
    Nick said at the time, “We have been back in the studio with Ryan Tedder, working hard on the new record, which is going to be announced in the next couple of weeks – title, tracklist, all that.”
    The “Lovebug” group released their comeback album, “Happiness Begins”, in July 2019.

    Duff McKagan to Release Album He Recorded With Pre-Guns N' Roses Band

    Instagram

    When announcing that he will make ‘The Living: 1982’ available to the public in April, the Axl Rose bandmate gives fans a taste by dropping its first single, ‘Two-Generation Stand’.

    Feb 25, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Rocker Duff McKagan has gone back in time to revisit music he wrote and recorded with his pre-Guns N’ Roses band in the early 1980s.
    The bass player was just 17 when he recorded tracks with The Living, but the results of the session were never released.
    The tracks will finally be made available to the public on 16 April on new album “The Living: 1982”.
    McKagan has dropped the album’s first single, “Two-Generation Stand”, while announcing the news on Wednesday, February 24.

    The Living were together for just a few months, but in that time they opened for Canadian punk icons D.O.A.. They failed to find a label home and split just before McKagan moved to Los Angeles, met Axl Rose and formed Guns N’ Roses.
    His bandmates co-founded influential Seattle, Washington grunge band Mother Love Bone with Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard.
    Ironically, “The Living: 1982” will be released via Gossard’s label Loosegroove.
    McKagan is thrilled his long-lost music is getting a release. “The Living was the beginning of all things Seattle for me – a turning point in my life,” he says of the band. “I joined a band and a community. These guys are still my brothers. I’ve cherished these recordings since the days we made them. This record is a fantastic document of a loaded moment. I love it.”
    McKagan recalls once wondering if the recording would ever be heard, questioning, “Would this even ever get out of our basement?” He adds, “We had something magical then, and it was ours, so who gives a f**k!”

    Before Durk responds, his fans are quick to mock the daughter of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. as one writes in an Instagram comment, ‘Lmfao she damn near about to cry over a song!’

    Feb 25, 2021
    AceShowbiz – A clip of Iyanna Mayweather a.k.a. Yaya Mayweather whining while asking DJ to turn off Lil Durk and Pooh Shiesty’s collab “Back in Blood” went viral and it didn’t take long for the Durk to catch wind of it. Even though the rapper didn’t personally address the matter, he could be seen responding to it on his Twitter account.
    On Wednesday, February 24, “The Voice” musician retweeted a post by Calboy that appeared to be a response to Yaya not feeling the song. “We don’t turn off @lildurk or @Pooh_shiesty over here,” so he tweeted.
    In the said video, which was taken during her Yacht trip with her family, the 20-year-old could be heard demanding someone to turn off “Back in Blood” as it played in the background. “Turn this weak a** song off … Turn it off,” the daughter of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. yelled.

    Before Durk reacted to it, his fans were quick to mock Yaya. “Lmfao she damn near about to cry over a song!” someone wrote in an Instagram comment. “she be getting on my nerves & ion know why,” another user said.
    Some others, meanwhile, suggested that Yaya refused to play songs by other male rappers than her baby daddy NBA YoungBoy (YoungBoy Never Broke Again) in an attempt to get his attention. “baby you not supporting other artist is not gone make that man want you,” one opined. Similarly, another person wrote, “That man already moved on and had other kids baby… you gonna get yourself hurt.”
    Just recently, Yaya was slammed online for unsafely holding her newborn baby, whom she shares with YoungBoy, aboard a moving yacht. “Tell her stop bouncing so hard u got that bay in hands one slip done,” one Internet user told her. Similarly, someone said, “Be careful holding dat babi.”
    Some others didn’t mince their words as one wrote, “Yaya Mayweather is mentally challenged, like development is lacking. As is her father, I think she’s a bit worse off even. It only took me one video to see that. I’m not at all being funny either.” Another comment read, “Poor yaya smh. With a dad like Mayweather…who is surprised about this foolishness.”

    6ix9ine Shows Cease and Desist Letter Sent by Meek Mill Over 'ZAZA' Music Video

    Instagram/WENN/Apega

    It arrives after the ‘GOOBA’ rapper inserted footage of their verbal fight in his music video, which has gained more than 30 million views, for his new song that he released on Friday, February 19.

    Feb 24, 2021
    AceShowbiz – The beef between Tekashi69 (6ix9ine) and Meek Mill doesn’t show any sign of stopping. If anything, it further escalates after the former inserted footage of their verbal fight in his music video for his new song “ZAZA” which he released on Friday, February 19.
    The trolling apparently prompts Meek and his team of lawyers to send a cease and desist letter to Tekashi as they tried to get the video removed from the internet. “Meek Mill wrote a letter to my lawyers. He said we are bullying him,” he shared in a picture that he posted on Instagram before attaching the very letter in the next slide.
    “HOW YOU START SOMETHING YOU CANT FINISH?????” he captioned the post. “HE WANT TO BE TAKEN OUT THE VIDEO BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE LAUGHING AT HIM.”

      See also…

    The letter saw Meek’s lawyers accusing Tekashi of unlawfully exploiting Meek’s likeness for commercial benefit without his authorization or consent. They also asked for the video, which has gained more than 31 million total views as of now, to be removed from all public platforms.
    Tekashi confronted Meek outside of a club in Miami on Saturday, February 13. In some videos that circulated online from the night, both were involved in a screaming match while bodyguards tried to stop things from getting physical.
    According to Meek, Tekashi planned to ambush him as he waited for him outside the club. “The headline should be: he waited outside a restaurant and popped up with the cops recording with his phone out! He tried to line me up to go to jail!” Meek tweeted after the showdown.
    “We did not run into eachother I was getting in my car he just popped out ….we almost was smoking on that 69 pack for the love of a viral moment ….. he tryna get something locked up no cap lol Why did he pick meeeee wtf lol. Then he said a Pooh shiesty bar to me wtf. I’m a real witness to that lol,” he went on writing.
