    Eddie Murphy Calls Himself 'Too Old' to Return to Music Scene

    WENN

    The ‘Nutty Professor’ actor, 59, reveals he never stopped making music despite never releasing another album since 1993, but he has no plan to release any of his new songs.

    Feb 28, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Eddie Murphy has a vault of pop hits he has recorded, but he insists fans will never hear his songs.
    The funnyman never stopped recording after tasting chart success with songs like “Party All the Time” and “Put Your Mouth on It” in the 1980s, but he insists he’s too old to be chasing hits.
    “I stopped putting music out, but I still do music all the time,” Murphy, whose last album was 1993’s “Love’s Alright?”, tells U.S. TV talk show host Tamron Hall. “That’s kind of, like, young folks do that. The Rolling Stones ain’t putting no records out! They’re playing their old tracks. Nobody wants to hear the Rolling Stones’ new s**t.”

    Asked if he’d consider teaming up with someone like Megan Thee Stallion, he adds, “Megan Thee Stallion? I’m 59! I can’t be doing nothing with no Megan Thee Stallion.”
    “You know how crazy I would look doing something with Megan Thee Stallion? I’m gonna be 60 in April. I can’t be having Megan Thee Stallion doing her stuff and I’m standing next to her with my old a** playing my guitar. I have my first grandchild. Once you’re a grandpa, you can’t do no tracks with Megan Thee Stallion.”
    Eddie’s interview with Hall will air on her show on 11 March (21).
    The actor is currently gearing up for the release of his new movie “Coming 2 America”. He reunites with Arsenio Hall, James Earl Jones, and Shari Headley, his co-stars from the first film “Coming to America”.

    Taylor Swift Officially Calls Off Lover Fest After Delay Due to Pandemic

    Disney+

    The ‘Willow’ singer has decided to scrap her festival-style show which was originally scheduled for 2020 but put on hold amid the never-ending Covid-19 pandemic.

    Feb 28, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Taylor Swift has officially cancelled her Lover Fest shows.
    The pop star announced the 2020 summer festival-style gigs shortly after the release of her “Lover” album in 2019 and stalled them when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down venues last year.
    She was hoping to reschedule the concerts but, on Friday (26Feb21), the singer decided she could no longer commit to the shows.

    “I love coming on here to tell you good news, or to share a new project with you,” she wrote on her social media accounts. “It’s not my favorite thing in the world to have to tell you news I’m sad about.”
    “I’m so sorry, but I cannot reschedule the shows that we’ve postponed. Although refunds have been available since we first postponed the Lover Fest shows, many of you hung onto your tickets and I too hung onto the idea that we could reschedule.”
    “This is an unprecedented pandemic that has changed everyone’s plans and no one knows what the touring landscape is going to look like in the near future. I’m so disappointed that I won’t be able to see you in person as soon as I wanted to. I miss you terribly and can’t wait til we can all safely be at shows together again.”
    Fans might not be able to see Swift live any time soon, but she has kept them busy with new and reworked music – she released two albums, “Folklore” and “Evermore”, in 2020 and is currently reworking the tracks on her 2008 record, “Fearless”, which will be re-released in April (21).

    Blake Shelton Wants Maroon 5 to Perform at His Wedding Because Adam Levine 'Owes' Him

    WENN

    The ‘Red River Blue’ crooner jokingly says the former judge of ‘The Voice’ owes him a ‘full-band performance’ at his upcoming nuptials with fiancee Gwen Stefani.

    Feb 27, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Blake Shelton has joked Adam Levine “owes” him a “full-band performance with Maroon 5” at his wedding.
    The country star has been in a joke rivalry with his former fellow “The Voice” judge since the show began in 2011, and has said he’s keen to have Adam and his band perform at his upcoming wedding to Gwen Stefani because he “wants it to cost him.”
    Blake made the joke as he commented on a recent request made by Miley Cyrus on social media when she asked Gwen if she could perform at her wedding, where she even promised to be on her “best behavior.”
    Speaking about Miley, Blake told People magazine, “Miley is one of the most talented singers I have ever met. She drives me crazy because she’s a lot like Kelly (Clarkson) in the way that they can burst out with this voice. If I’m going to sing, I have to think about it and go warm up. It’s unfair.”

    “Gwen was showing me that she even said, ‘I promise to be on my best behaviour.’ I’ve known Miley long enough (for her to have to say), ‘By the way, I’ll be nice when I get here.’ So that was nice of her. I don’t know what we’re going to do, but I still say Adam owes me a full-band performance with Maroon 5, mostly because I want it to cost him. I would rather have Miley as a human being.”
    Blake and Gwen haven’t decided on a musical act for their big day yet, but Miley is hoping they’ll choose her.
    The “Midnight Sky” hitmaker asked Gwen for the job on Twitter after the “Hollaback Girl” singer responded to a video Miley posted and called the musician “talented.”
    Miley then wrote, “When my hero’s tweet me I get horny. (sic)”
    Before she later added in a separate tweet, “ALSO @gwenstefani @blakeshelton I’ll be your wedding singer! I promise to be on my best behaviour. Or worst. whatever you want! It’s your special day! Cheers to loving you both almost as much as you love each other! (sic)”

    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.”

    Justin Bieber Announces New Album 'Justice' Is Due in March

    Instagram

    The ‘Yummy’ hitmaker is gearing up to release his next studio installment as he announces ‘Justice’ release date after dropping a new single called ‘Anyone’ in January.

    Feb 27, 2021

    “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.”
