    In a separate Twitter post, the ‘FOX Soul’ host criticizes those who try to justify the bully, writing, ‘So yall can justify trying to scare a little 15 year old black girl.’
    May 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Claudia Jordan learns how dangerous it is to get involved first hand with Nicki Minaj’s fans. The TV personality shared on her Twitter account that after making some critical remarks about the Trinidadian rapper in a recent episode of the interactive TV show “FOX Soul”, the Barbz started threatening her family members.
    “WOW now the Barbz have gone too far. Threatening to ‘BEAT HER’ my 69 year old mother & now harassing my 15 year old niece?” Claudie wrote on Wednesday, May 20. “At the end of the day what will this accomplish but keep your karma bad & get you bought up on charges? WE stay protected-KNOW THIS. #OverATalkShowConvo smh.”

    Claudia Jordan claimed that Nicki Minaj’s harassed her family.
    In a separate post, she went on to criticize those who try to justify the bully. “So yall can justify trying to scare a little 15 year old black girl- like times aint challenging enough without you barbz being so ridiculous. I hope yall feel good about yourselves. But then again you have to be brainless & soul less to think that is cool or funny. Way to go!” Claudia tweeted.
    In response to her posts, a fan told her that “they are going to be on your neck for life. I’ve been apart of the fan base from the start once you pick a fight the grudge is held on to for life.” The fan continued, “I don’t support any threats but I’m sad you don’t see the issue with what you said. Did you hear what Tamar Braxton said?” referring to when Tamar said, “You can’t get too involved in the Barbz and the Queen Bees.”
    “Oh so now you want to play the victim LOL okay,” another fan wrote. One fan of Nicki, whose real name is Onika Tanya Maraj, then warned Claudia, “Keep Onika name out ya mouth next time sis!!”
    Claudia angered the Barbz with her recent remarks on “Fox Soul” where she discussed comparison between Nicki and Lil’ Kim made by Usher. “Why are they mad at saying Lil’ Kim paved the way? She did!…What’s wrong with that?…I don’t know why the fans are getting so mad at Usher,” said Claudia.
    Usher sparked an online debate regarding the two rappers after he said that “Nicki is a product of Kim” during an episode of “Verzuz” with Swizz Beatz on Sunday, May 17. His remark quickly gained reactions from social media users as Swizz alerted Usher, “You already trending on Twitter right now, by the way.” He went on enthusing, “This is the ‘Verzuz’ effect, king. I see you trending on Twitter! This is special, this is fun.”

    May 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Tracee Ellis Ross has treated fans to a brand new music video for “Love Myself”. One week after debuting the lead single from upcoming film “The High Note” on Instagram Live, the actress portraying recording artist Grace Davis in the drama movie offered behind-the-scenes look in its newly-released visual.
    When sharing the promo video on Instagram, the 47-year-old daughter of Motown legend Diana Ross informed friends and followers about what to expect. “Some of the many incredible moments we all shared making this wonderful film with our director @nisha.ganatra,” she noted in the caption.
    “This song was beautifully written by the beyond special @sarah_aarons, and produced by @rodneyjerkins who held my hand and my eyes through the process of letting my voice out,” she went on to praise the track’s songwriter and producer. “There are so many incredible people who made this film and music possible. Can’t wait for you to see @thehighnotefilm on May 29!”

    Tracee released “Love Myself” on May 14. During an online streaming that gathered the likes of her mother and other friends, including Michelle Obama, Janelle Monae, Lena Waithe, Sarah Paulson and Kerry Washington, she confessed that she dreamed to be a singer when she was a child, but her fear got the best of her.
    “This movie I get to sing and my mom who’s on [the live] is Diana Ross and whether consciously or unconsciously as a kid I took that dream of mine to be a singer and I hid it. I hid it away,” she explained. “I got so scared to sing that it became this dream that I was afraid of and at 47 years old, I faced that dream.”
    To be made available through VOD platforms on May 29, “The High Note” is directed by Nisha Ganatra, and is written by Flora Greeson. It will see Tracee starring opposite Dakota Johnson, who portrays Davis’s overworked personal assistant who despite being stuck running errands, still aspires to be a music producer.

    “We love you and can’t thank you enough for being on this journey with us! Thank you for understanding. Stay safe, Rascal Flatts”.

    The now-scrapped tour had been due to kick off in June, and wrap in Nashville, Tennessee in October.

    Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox Make Out in Steamy Music Video Amid Hookup Rumors

    The rapper and the ‘Transformers’ actress have added fuel to their hookup rumors as they’re playing a couple in a steamy music video for his new single ‘Bloody Valentine’.
    May 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are fuelling romance rumours by playing lovers in the rapper/rocker’s new video.
    Kelly released the promo for “Bloody Valentine” on Wednesday, May 20, 2020 and introduced the “Transformers” star as his twisted onscreen girlfriend amid reports the pair is dating for real following Megan’s split from her husband, Brian Austin Green.
    The video begins with Kelly waking to find his lover has bound him. She then tapes his mouth shut and dances around his house in her sleepwear, miming the words to his song while tormenting him and kissing his neck. At one point Fox shares a sauna room with Kelly as the hitmaker sings, “I can’t hide how I feel about you.” She also electrocutes her rumoured boyfriend by dropping a hairdryer in a bath he’s taking.
    The promo ends with the ungagged Kelly and Fox almost locking lips.

    Rumours of a romance began circulating last week when the couple was photographed together in Los Angeles, and Green addressed the story while confirming he and his wife of seven years had split during his podcast on Monday, revealing he has yet to meet Kelly, real name Colson Baker.
    “She met this guy, Colson, on set,” the actor said. “I’ve never met him. Megan and I have talked about him. They’re just friends at this point.”
    But Brian was keen to make it clear that his estranged wife’s relationship with the rapper was not behind their split.
    “I don’t want people to think her or he are villains or that I was a victim in any way,” he added.
    Fox and Kelly, who will also star in upcoming movie “Midnight in the Switchgrass”, have yet to respond to rumours of a romance.

    Iggy Azalea Calls Azealia Banks 'Dumb' for Threatening to Get Her Song Removed

    Instagram

    The ‘Black Widow’ raptress responds after the ‘212’ hitmaker announces that she has trademarked ‘p***ypop’ and taunts the Aussie star, ‘positively will come after her for using one of my Brand Names.’
    May 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Iggy Azalea is not letting Azealia Banks’ mean-spirited posts ruin her mood. The Australian star, who is reported to have recently welcomed her first child with her boyfriend Playboi Carti, has responded after her longtime nemesis claimed to have trademarked the word “p***ypop” and threatened to get Iggy’s song “P***y” removed.
    Instead of getting worked up, the 29-year-old raptress doesn’t seem to be bothered by Azealia’s threat. “Actually that’s not the way copy right works,” she posted on Twitter on Tuesday, May 19 after learning of the New York City’s artist’s announcement. “I don’t sell soap names that so it doesn’t matter. That’s not even how trademark works.” Calling out Azealia, she added, “The girls are dumb. Move on.”
    Iggy went on arguing why Azealia’s threat misfired, “Also my track list is P***y Pop not ‘p***ypop’. It isn’t even the word she has trademarked.” She went on telling her fans to stop worrying about this, writing, “Please stop feeding into this type of dumb s**t & ignore her I hate seeing you guys get upset or worried about nonsense.”
    Earlier on the same day, Azealia took to her Instagram Stories to announce, “I officially own the trademarks for P***YPOP & BUSSYBOY. Today is an excellent day.” Taunting her nemesis, she added in the post, “@thenewclassic I would have your team remove ‘P***ypop’ before things get ugly.”
    “Definitely have proof of usage prior to her song release as well as a slew of disparaging tweets from her about my company. Absolutely, positively will come after her for using one of my Brand Names,” she went on claiming, before making her point, “Can’t make a song called ‘Doritos’ if the CEO of Doritos does not approve of usage. I do not approve of usage.”

    Many have since slammed Azealia for her petty move, with one commenting, “She gotta be embarrassed at this point . Bc I am for her.” Another called her out, “She’s soo bitter sheesh,” while some others called her “miserable” and “toxic.”
    Someone else slammed her as “mentally ill,” while a fan of Iggy warned her to “leave iggy alone. F**k.” Fed up with her bitterness, one other complained, “Azealia really gotta grow up, this behavior is so tired and boring at this point.”

    Britney Spears Feels Honored as '…Baby One More Time' Is Named Greatest Debut Single of All Time

    The ‘Toxic’ hitmaker freaks out after finding out her debut single is ranked first in the Rolling Stone magazine’s 100 Greatest Debut Singles of All Time list.
    May 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Britney Spears was left stunned on Tuesday, May 19, 2020 after her tune “…Baby One More Time” was named the greatest debut single ever by Rolling Stone magazine.
    The 38-year-old singer burst onto the pop music scene with her catchy debut back in 1998 and has gone on to become one of the most famous singers in the world. And recognising the impact of the single, Rolling Stone ranked it at the top of their 100 Greatest Debut Singles of All Time list, published on Tuesday as they wrote, “In the great tradition of debut singles, it was a divisive statement that drew a line between past and future… with …Baby One More Time, this girl changed the sound of pop forever: It’s Britney, b**ch. Nothing was ever the same.”
    Reacting to the placement, Britney wrote on Twitter, “Number ONE (shocked screaming emoji) ??!!? Thank you @RollingStone …. what an honour!!!!!!”
    Just hours before the list was published, Britney’s sister Jamie Lynn had reflected on the possibility of her elder sibling retiring during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
    “In general, she’s kind of just relaxing,” Jamie shared when asked if Britney has any music plans in the pipeline. “And I think that’s good. Britney deserves that. She’s worked her ass off. So if she wants to make another album, great. But if she doesn’t feel like it, she doesn’t have to. She’s given the world a lot. I don’t think there are plans for anything – at the moment.”
    But she was quick to insist that Britney isn’t retiring, adding, “Obviously, right now, she’s just trying to quarantine. She’s taking it day by day. And when she wants to make music, she’ll make it. I don’t think you can ever retire someone from their passion.”

    [embedded content]

    Teaming up with filmmaker John Boswell for the time lapse promo, the ‘Make Me (Cry)’ singer reminds fans to make most out of every last second they have together.
    May 20, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Noah Cyrus is taking fans in a time lapse journey in a brand new video for “The End of Everything”. On Tuesday, May 19, the “Make Me (Cry)” singer released a beautiful visual for the title track from her recently released EP, presenting the devolution of the Earth which concludes with the eventual demise of the universe.
    In an Instagram post accompanying the promo, the 20-year-old spilled that she teamed up with filmmaker John Boswell for it after being inspired by his “Timelapse of the Future” video. She explained, “I had the pleasure of working with him on this as well. I’ve never been more inspired to go and write a song based on a visual.”
    The younger sister of Miley Cyrus went on to thank fellow songwriter PJ Harding a.k.a. THIEF for helping her write the track. “@thiefofficial is the only person I know that could connect with me on the level that it takes to write a song like this. (Pj i love you so much thank n you for being my musical rock lol),” she noted.
    Noah went on to share the meaning behind the song itself. “Problems that seemed big became small. Your pain won’t last forever. Your fears won’t last forever. Mother Earth won’t last forever. Everyone you love is gonna’ die but darlin’ so is everything, don’t cry,” she wrote. “TIME WILL BECOME MEANINGLESS. We have to make the most out of every last second we have together. Let’s love and let’s appreciate, especially now more than ever.”
    Near the end of her post, the ex-girlfriend of Lil Xan thanked her parents, Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus, for being “such a huge inspiration behind this song.” She added, “I just want to let you know that I never take one moment with you guys for granted. I love you both so much that it makes me sad but then its also so beautiful that the love we have has to end. I’ll never want it to. But it will by nature. Love you to The End of Everything and back.”

    John, who directed the music video, has also taken to his Instagram account to praise Noah. “She captured this subject more elegantly in 3 minutes than I could in 30,” he shared. “We worked together on creating a custom short-form version of my original piece to fit the song, which is hauntingly beautiful, as is the rest of her EP of the same name. Thanks to Noah and her team for making me a part of this.”

    Noah’s “The End of Everything” EP was released last Friday, May 15.
