It wasn’t always about being the toughest or trying to prove yourself or be something you wasn’t. It was more so about being who you were and always having a strong mentality in whatever you wanted to do as far as your ventures.”

    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.

    Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber's Chart Success Explained by Billboard Following Feud With 6ix9ine

    WENN/Instagram

    Assuring there was no foul play per suggested by the ‘Gooba’ rapper, Billboard executives note that ‘each song has its own ratio breakdown based on its specific activity.’
    May 20, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Billboard bosses have responded to rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine after he accused Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber of buying their way to the top of the U.S. pop charts.
    The duo debuted “Stuck with U” at number one on Monday, May 18 – two spots ahead of the rap star’s “Gooba” – and he made it clear he had a problem with the placements in a video posted online, in which he claimed record label bosses had ensured Ariana and Justin would rocket to the top by purchasing multiple copies of their track.
    Ariana, Justin and their manager, Scooter Braun, all responded to Tekashi, insisting fans alone were responsible for getting their record to number one, and now Billboard executives have made it clear there was no foul play.
    “‘Stuck with U’ was available to purchase through the week as a digital download, as well as in various physical format/digital download combinations through Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber’s webstores,” a statement reads. “The sales spike is likely referring to sales on Thursday, May 14 – the final day of the tracking week – when signed ‘Stuck with U’ singles were put up for sale in Grande and Bieber’s webstores. A signed single or album is an accepted form of sales available to any artist and has been noted repeatedly within Billboard chart stories when such items have impacted the Hot 100.”
    “6ix9ine, meanwhile, released a non-signed CD single/digital download on the last day of the tracking week via his webstore.”
    “As noted in this week’s story announcing the results on the latest Hot 100, ‘Stuck with U’ sold 108,000 in the tracking week ending May 14 and Gooba sold 24,000, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.”
    The statement continues: “The Hot 100 has a locked-in methodology, updated at least once a year, with each metric divided by a certain number, which results in an average chart ratio, whereby streams are the most heavily weighted factor, followed next by radio airplay and then sales. Each song has its own ratio breakdown based on its specific activity, which contributes to the overall chart average each week.”

    “Overall, ‘Stuck with U’ drew 28.1 million U.S. streams, 26.3 million in radio airplay audience and 108,000 sold in the tracking week. ‘Gooba’ had 55.3 million U.S. streams, 172,000 in radio airplay audience and 24,000 sold.”

    Ludacris Reacts to Backlash Over R. Kelly Lyrics: I'm Just Being 'Honest'

    WENN/PNP

    The rapper faced criticism after fans noticed the Kelly reference on ‘Silence of the Lambs’ which he previewed during a song battle with Nelly in the Saturday, May 17 episode of Timbaland and Swizz Beatz’s ‘Verzuz’.
    May 20, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Ludacris previously landed in hot water after professing his love to R. Kelly on his new song “Silence of the Lambs”. Now, the “Move B***h” rapper has responded to the backlash during his interview with Atlanta radio station V103 on Tuesday, May 19.
    Addressing the matter, Luda said, “Sometimes when you speak on records, you speakin’ like it’s just me and you having a conversation.” He added, “But you just speaking, and just being honest. I saw that a lot of people kind of misconstrued or just didn’t really understand what is what what I’m saying.”
    Later he alluded that he enjoyed Kelly’s music. However, he wouldn’t let his daughter around him because of his sexual assault scandals.

    Ludacris faced backlash after fans noticed the Kelly reference on “Silence of the Lambs” which he previewed three times during a song battle with Nelly in the Saturday, May 17 episode of Timbaland and Swizz Beatz’s “Verzuz”. Produced by Timbaland, the song opens with a mention of Bill Cosby as the lyrics read, “The world screwed if n****s pouring drinks like Bill Huxtable.”
    As if that wasn’t enought, Luda later rapped, “I love R. Kelly but around my daughters, I’m not comfortable.” He also shaded Roseanne Barr by declaring that racists were still drinking “from Roseanne’s bar.”
    Fans quickly responded to the name-dropping. “Ludacris really thought it was appropriate to tell us he loves R.Kelly in 2020 and told us three times. I’m still in shock,” someone tweeted. “I’m still mad Ludacris previewed that Wayne song and dropped Cosby and R Kelly lines to start off the song. And ran it back like 5 times,” another person stated.
    “Ludacris said ‘I love R. Kelly but around my daughters I’m not comfortable.’ Ehm I think you might want to REWRITE THAT LINE yunno,” a fan suggested. “Ludacris giving us bill cosby, r. kelly and roseanne bars in 2020 along with a chance the rapper feature. who asked for this? more importantly,” one other said.
