    Beyonce Inspired by Dua Lipa and The Shindellas as She Works on New Album After Calling Off Tour

    Instagram

    The ‘Black Is King’ star has decided to ditch her plan for 2021 tour due to the ongoing health crisis and use her time to return to studio for her next studio installment instead.

    Nov 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Beyonce Knowles will reportedly put her focus on livestream concerts after pulling the plug on a planned 2021 tour.
    According to The Sun, the “Diva” hitmaker planned a global trek for next year but, as the pandemic continues, she’s decided to scrap her plans and join the ranks of artists that will perform through livestreams.
    “Beyonce and her team are currently mapping out a plan to create a virtual live show to showcase her new music in 2021, now that she can’t tour because of Covid,” a source explained.
    “Following the success she had with (2016 album) Lemonade, and the Disney film Black Is King, she started writing and recording feel-good tracks inspired by new artists like Dua Lipa and The Shindellas,” they shared, adding, “She’s ready to dance again.”

    As she continues work on her new album, Beyonce also plans to promote it with “a virtual show that fans can watch at home,” according to the insider, who went on tell the publication the star “has made it clear she’s prepared to pull out all the stops to make it a real spectacle.”
    Stars including Billie Eilish, Kylie Minogue, Stormzy, Niall Horan, and Lewis Capaldi are among those who have resorted to putting on virtual concerts amid the Covid-19 crisis.
    Late last month, Beyonce caused frenzy among his loyal fans after saying she wanted to “slow down” from music following pandemic.
    “I truly cherish this time with my family, and my new goal is to slow down and shed stressful things from my life,” she told British Vogue. “I came into the music industry at 15 years old and grew up with the world watching, and I have put out projects nonstop.”
    “It’s been heavy and hectic,” she added. “I’ve spent a lot of time focusing on building my legacy and representing my culture the best way I know how. Now, I’ve decided to give myself permission to focus on my joy.”

  • Dua Lipa Denies Violating Covid-19 Regulations During Video Shoot, Threatens to Take Legal Action

    Instagram

    The ‘IDGAF’ singer is quick to respond to the rumors suggesting that she violated Covid-19 rules while filming her new music video in London, sending her lawyer to warn British tabloid.

    Oct 17, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Dua Lipa has sent her legal team after British tabloid The Sun over allegations she broke COVID-19 regulations on the set of a new music video in London.
    Sources told the newspaper police officials were called to the set of the promo after complaints from concerned locals in Shoreditch, east London, who reported an illegal gathering of people allegedly ignoring social distancing regulations.
    “There were extras and what appeared to be dancers swarming around,” one insider said. “Some people looked as though they were drinking too, so it ended up being quite rowdy.”

    The “New Rules” singer has now hit back, posting a message on her social media on Friday (16Oct20) and revealing she has set her lawyers on The Sun’s editors.
    “A tabloid newspaper in the UK (who I won’t give free publicity to by naming), last night published a story about my video shoot in London and what they said was a flouting of Covid regulations,” she wrote on her Instagram Story.
    “This is completely untrue – absolutely all guidelines were complied with. This is one of many untrue stories published by this newspaper about me this year. My lawyers have sent a letter to the newspaper today. It’s a shame that some of the British press have more regard for selling papers than the truth or the feelings of the person they are talking about.”
    “There have been far worse examples of this in the last year involving other British entertainment figures, but I am going to take my own small stand.”

  • Dua Lipa Gets Surprise Visit From Cops During Video Shoot for Allegedly Violating Covid-19 Rules

    Instagram

    The filming of the ‘New Rules’ singer’s new music video has allegedly been raided by police following complaints from neighbors when they saw no social distancing among the large crowd.

    Oct 17, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Cops raided the set of Dua Lipa’s upcoming music video after complaints from concerned locals in London reported the star flouting lockdown rules.
    According to British tabloid The Sun, the “New Rules” star was accompanied by a large crew on the set in Shoreditch, east London, on Wednesday (14Oct20) night for the filming which, according to onlookers, didn’t adhere to social distancing regulations.
    “Dua and her entourage were having the time of their lives, but for those living around them it was a nightmare,” they said. “It looked as though the people on the shoot were breaking rules and social distancing was totally out of the question.”

    “There were extras and what appeared to be dancers swarming around. Some people looked as though they were drinking too, so it ended up being quite rowdy,” the source added.
    “People in the area are respecting the law, so to see a pop star openly break it was poor form. Someone called the police. It was late at night and deserted there but, ultimately, it’s a smack in the face for locals who had to listen to it going on.”
    It’s not the first time the artist has been criticised for not following coronavirus rules – in August, the “Physical” hitmaker came under fire for attending a large social gathering in California during the pandemic.
    The “IDGAF” singer hasn’t made any comments. Earlier this year, she talked about staying with boyfriend Anwar Hadid during lockdown. “We’ve made the most of the situation. I’d probably have been planning to go on tour, and thinking about when we’d be able see each other. Having all that extra time was really nice. We’re trying to see the bright side,” she said.

    While little is known about the project, MailOnline reported a “grunge chic” set had been put up, and a female extra in white cowgirl boots was spotted performing in front of the set-up, which featured graffiti and an eerie portrait of a couple.
    Miley recently shared on the New Zealand podcast, “the Dom, Meg And Randell Catchup”, that Dua and Billy Idol are both featured on her next album, which is expected to be released soon.
    While the new slbum has no title and release date just yet, Miley teased she had a record that sounded like Britney Spears and Nine Inch Nails being put together.

  • Dua Lipa Back to Work to Shoot New Music Video With Boyfriend Anwar Hadid

    WENN

    The ‘Don’t Start Now’ singer has enlisted her own boyfriend to play onscreen love interest in her next music video to support a single from her new album ‘Future Nostalgia’.
    Jun 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Dua Lipa has reportedly hired her boyfriend Anwar Hadid to play her love interest in her next music video.
    The couple have been self-isolating together in north London during the U.K.’s coronavirus lockdown, and rather than wait until restrictions are fully removed, the star has apparently decided to push ahead and film with Anwar as rules on social distancing do not apply to those already living together.
    “Dua has been getting back to work in London this week and has been shooting for her next music video,” a source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper.
    “Things were put on ice originally but with lockdown easing slower than they expected, they decided to push ahead and shoot a video with Anwar because he and Dua do not need to be two metres apart from each other.”
    The music insider adds that the situation is perfect for Anwar who, like his sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid, works as a model.
    “It’s great for Anwar because he won’t have to see Dua writhing around with another man, not to mention the boost it will give his profile by being in the video,” they reveal. “They have done some sexy scenes too, so it has been fun for them both.”
    The video will be for her fourth single from Dua’s chart-topping album “Future Nostalgia”, following the already released “Don’t Start Now”, “Physical”, and “Break My Heart” – but the track in question is yet to be revealed.
