      Grimes Puts $10 Million Price to Piece of Her Soul She Sells at First Fine Art Show

      The ‘Genesis’ singer, who has just given birth to her first child with boyfriend Elon Musk, debuts ‘Selling Out’, an fine art show at Gallery Platform Los Angeles and Maccarone Los Angeles.
      May 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – New mum Grimes is selling off a piece of her soul as part of a new art project.
      The 32 year old has debuted her first fine art show at Gallery Platform Los Angeles and Maccarone Los Angeles, called Selling Out, and among the drawings, prints and photographs on show, the singer/songwriter will be offering a “legal document” giving the buyer a claim to her soul.
      “I didn’t want anyone to buy it, so I said, ‘We should just make it $10 million and then it probably won’t sell,'” she says.
      “The deeper we got with it, the more philosophically interesting it became. Also, I really wanted to collaborate with my lawyer on art. The idea of fantastical art in the form of legal documents just seems very intriguing to me.”
      Grimes became a first-time mother earlier this month when she gave birth to boyfriend Elon Musk’s sixth child.

      Instagram

      The ‘Rain on Me’ singer teams up with delivery app Postmates to pledge $1 to celebrity chef Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen organization for every order made on the platform.
      May 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa is turning her album release into a charitable affair by donating up to $100,000 (£81,000) to a hunger relief fund.
      The pop superstar has teamed up with bosses at delivery app Postmates to pledge $1 (£0.81) to celebrity chef Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen organisation for every order made on the platform this weekend, May 29-31, up to $100,000, reports TMZ.
      The partnership is designed to promote the launch of “Chromatica”, which drops on Friday, May 29, and to sweeten the deal, app users can enter the album title at checkout to score free delivery.
      GaGa had previously planned to debut the project in April, but postponed its release due to the coronavirus outbreak.
      Breaking the news of the delay to fans back in March, the singer shared, “This is such a hectic and scary time for all of us, and while I believe art is one of the strongest things we have to provide joy and healing to each other during times like this, it just doesn’t feel right for me to release this album with all that (is) going on during this global pandemic.”
      “Chromatica” is the Oscar winner’s first new album since 2016’s “Joanne”.

      T.I. on Donald Trump Using His Song to Diss Joe Biden: It's Not Authorized

      by

      The representative of the rapper also shares that ‘T.I.’s legal team and media partners are already moving Expeditiously to block this unauthorized use of his song ‘Whatever You Like’.
      May 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – T.I. has spoken out after President Donald Trump used his song “Whatever You Like” to attack his political enemy, Joe Biden. Through a statement issued by his representative, the rapper made it known that he never gave POTUS consent to use his art for his campaign.
      “Trump and his team (out of desperation for his campaign) have circulated a campaign video post throughout social media that includes the unauthorized use of T.I.’s song ‘Whatever You Like’, along with edited images of him and Joe Biden. The video distorts lyrics from his #1 charting song by misrepresenting the lyrics through text language and distortion of his recorded voice,” the representative for the rapper revealed.
      “It goes without saying, that T.I. would not in any way ever support the divisive policies and destructive propaganda of Trump. The people of our country deserve far better than this,” the rep continued saying. “Be clear, he does not authorize it or consent to the use of his song to falsely suggest any endorsement of President Trump or to attack Joe Biden. It is sad, but expected, that this President would stoop so low to use his property without authority to manipulate the community.”
      Concluding the statement, the rep shared that “T.I.’s legal team and media partners are already moving Expeditiously to block this unauthorized use and set the record straight in no uncertain terms.”
      The song was featured on Trump’s official Snapchat account as his team posted slideshow of images of Biden with T.I.’s song playing in the background. However, instead of its original lyrics, “I want yo’ body, need yo’ body/ Long as you got me you won’t need nobody,” Trump’s clip has T.I. saying, “I don’t want Joe Biden, need Joe Biden/ As long as you got me you won’t need Joe Biden.”
      The move was criticized by social media users as one remarked, “Wheww the desperation.” Some others predicted it’s only a matter of time before Tip slammed Trump for the unauthorized use of his song. “T.I. Bout to turn his vernacular up [100]…dictionary in hand!” one wrote. Another commented, “I need @troubleman31 to come through with a strongly worded cease and desists! Expeditiously.”

      Teyana Taylor Joins Class of 2020 in New Music Video as She Missed Out Her Own Graduation

      by

      The ‘We Got Love’ singer helps cheer up this year’s graduates in her newly-premiered ‘Made It’ music video because she never celebrated her own graduation.
      May 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Teyana Taylor was determined to celebrate the class of 2020 in her new “Made It” video after homeschooling meant she missed out on her own graduation.
      The 29-year-old singer dropped the surprise new track last week, with the accompanying video showing her congratulating graduates via a Zoom call and celebrating on the stage in a mortarboard cap and gown.
      [embedded content]
      And in an interview with MSNBC, Teyana explained the motivation for the video, admitting that she’s always been bothered by the fact she never had a graduation of her own.
      “I didn’t get the chance to graduate and I wasn’t even going through a pandemic, I was home schooled, so when it was time for me to graduate I was literally in Starbucks when I got my cap and gown,” she said. “So I knew how it felt to not feel celebrated, or to not walk across the stage.”
      “Imagine going through a pandemic where you can’t even leave the house, you can’t even graduate in Starbucks if that was an option. So I wanted to do something for the class of 2020.”
      She added, “It was just about celebrating them and letting them know that no pandemic can dim the light, you made it. Especially putting in all those years of hard work and then to not be able to physically celebrate that – I know it’s a lot.”
      Teyana also revealed that while she’s “not bitter” about missing out on life at high school, she obtained a new outlook when she gave birth to her daughter Junie, who is now four.
      “It bothered me even more once I had my daughter because it was like, I can’t even tell you what to do, how to do it, how to get you ready for prom,” she sighed. “You know, those special moments that we want as teenagers and young adults and different things like that. So I missed out on a lot of those things.”
      “It’s just that, especially as a female, you want to experience those things you see on TV.”

      May 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ariana Grande’s boyfriend Dalton Gomez proved his commitment to the singer as he made a cameo appearance in her and Lady GaGa’s hilarious new “Rain On Me” promo.
      In a skit to promote their new collaboration, GaGa and Ariana take on the roles of meteorologists for the Weather Channel, with the “Poker Face” star standing under an umbrella protecting herself from the downpour as she comments: “It was beautiful just yesterday, but oh wow, how things have changed. Today it is pouring rain, we are soaking wet. While some are complaining of the recent downpour, we would like to celebrate the rain. Live from Beverly Hills is Ariana Grande with more to report.”
      “Thanks, GaGa. ‘Rain on me’, tsunami,” Ariana then quips. “Water like misery, but the people are still going.”
      “So true, Ariana,” GaGa replies. “The world is up in a massive act of kindness to celebrate the rain the world so desperately needs to quench the thirst of the Earth. Are we thirsty or what?.”
      “Oh, we are thirsty indeed,” Ariana jokes, as the camera pans out to reveal Dalton spraying water on her umbrella with a hose. “It’ll be raining all summer but we’ll surely be dancing when it does.”
      GaGa’s rain was also manmade, with an assistant wearing a face mask tasked with showering her with water.

      It’s not the first time Dalton has made a cameo in one of Ariana’s videos – the real estate agent first appeared in the music video for his girlfriend’s collaboration with Justin Bieber, “Stuck With U”.
