    Demi Lovato Pushes Scooter Braun to Make Tori Kelly Duet Happen

    Instagram

    During a chat on Instagram Live, the ‘I Love Me’ singer and the ‘American Idol’ alum decide to show off their powerful vocals by performing an a capella duet of her 2016 single ‘Stone Cold’.
    May 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Demi Lovato has called on her manager Scooter Braun to set her up with fellow client Tori Kelly so the two artists can officially collaborate.
    The “Confident” hitmaker joined Kelly for a chat on Instagram Live on Tuesday (May 05), when they showed off their powerful vocals on an a capella duet version of Demi’s 2016 single “Stone Cold”.
    After the performance, Demi heaped praise on singer/songwriter Tori and urged Scooter to make their dreams of a studio session together come true.
    “You are one of the best vocalists in this generation and it would be just an honour to do something with you…,” Demi gushed, before calling out their shared manager, “Scooter, hello!”
    Agreeing with the pop star, Tori replied, “Yes, I feel the same, I feel the same. I’m so down.”

    Demi has been lining up a string of collaborative projects of late, teaming up with Sam Smith for the track “I’m Ready” last month (April), while she has recruited Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker for a remix of her recent release, “I Love Me”.
    She announced the news of the Barker remix on Tuesday, when she posted the tune’s official cover art on social media, “#ILoveMe but make it… emo? Out tomorrow night with @travisbarker!!!”

    The new music is expected to feature on Demi’s upcoming album, the follow-up to 2017’s “Tell Me You Love Me”, and her first under the guidance of Braun, having signed to his SB Projects firm a year ago as she began to plot her next career moves following her near-fatal drug overdose in the summer of 2018.

    Instagram

    The ‘Boss B***h’ raptress makes the seductive offer on Twitter, promising that she will show her ‘boobs really hard’ if her new song featuring Nicki Minaj becomes No. 1.
    May 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Doja Cat is doing everything she can to promote her single “Say So (Remix)”. The rapper has come up with a very seductive offer on Twitter to boost the streams of the new song, which features fellow raptress Nicki Minaj.
    On Tuesday, May 5, the “Juicy” hitmaker promised her fans that she would give a hardcore look at her breasts if the single becomes No. 1. “If say so hits #1 I’ll show you guys my boobs really hard,” she tweeted.
    Possibly seeing a surge in the song’s streams following her announcement, Doja followed it up with an encouraging tweet, “The simp army has risen once again.. there is hope.”

    Doja Cat promises to show her boobs if ‘Say So (Remix)’ hits No. 1.
    Surely fans wouldn’t miss the offer as they have been eagerly listening to “Say So (Remix)” more than ever before. “STREAM SAY SO OR ELSE…,” one follower urged others. “simp army ASSEMBLE,” another replied to Doja’s tweet, showing a number of laptops and mobile devices that play the song at the same time.
    “I am the simp army,” a third user echoed, as someone else showed he/she doing the same practice as the second fan to boost the song’s streams. “we waiting been streaming all day,” another wrote, while someone else cheekily commented, “I’m streaming babe don’t worry you don’t even have to show anyone other than me your boobs.”
    Doja unveiled “Say So (Remix)” on May 1. The release of the song was followed with some controversies, particularly due to Nicki’s lyrics. In the song, the 37-year-old rapper spits, “Used to be bi, but now I’m just hetero,” enraging people who felt like the part was demeaning.
    In another part of the song, the “Anaconda” hitmaker raps, “That real a** ain’t keep your n***a home,” prompting many to speculate that she may be dissing Beyonce Knowles. In Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage” remix, the former Destiny’s Child member sings, “If you wanna see some real ass baby here’s yo chance.” Pointing out the connection between those lyrics, one person claimed, “it can’t be about any other rap girls because we all know their ass fake and been fake. so what is this? is she really taking shots at bey? because this one will dead her career.”

    Rocker Travis McCready Books America's First Live Concert Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

    Instagram

    The Bishop Gunn frontman has booked a concert in Arkansas as Governor Asa Hutchinson is relaxing lockdown restrictions in the state amid the ongoing Covid-19 crisis.
    May 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Bishop Gunn frontman Travis McCready is planning to play America’s first concert featuring enforced social distancing measures.
    Mass gatherings have been banned across America since March 2020 in a bid to curb the spread of the coronavirus – effectively preventing musicians from performing in public venues.
    With governors in many U.S. states relaxing lockdown restrictions and stay-at-home orders, McCready has booked a gig in at the TempleLive venue in Fort Smith, Arkansas on May 15 – three days before the state’s Governor Asa Hutchinson has stated gigs may be held again.
    Guidelines on the Ticketmaster website for the show state that only 229 seats at the 1,100 capacity venue will be sold, creating socially distanced pods of fans, with all those in attendance required to wear face masks and have their temperature taken before arriving.
    TempleLive executive Mike Brown tells Billboard magazine that he’s confident the concert will go ahead, despite it being booked before Arkansas’ restrictions on gatherings are officially lifted.
    “We actually just got off a conversation with the state health department,” he says. “The governor has done a great job with his administration and how he has handled this.”
    Comparing the concert to a religious gathering, he adds, “If you are a church, there are no restrictions on how many people you can have inside as long as they follow CDC guidelines and stay six feet apart. So our position is, a public gathering is a public gathering regardless of the reason, whether you are going to go to a quilting event, a church or a concert. Tell me the difference, because in our opinion it is discriminatory.”

    Beyonce's Mom Loves 'Really Cute' Shout-Out in 'Savage' Remix

    Instagram

    Tina Knowles Lawson is pleasantly surprised by her superstar daughter Beyonce Knowles’ tribute in the updated version of Megan Thee Stallion’s new single.
    May 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Beyonce Knowles’s mum Tina Knowles Lawson was caught by surprise by her daughter’s sweet shout-out in her “Savage” remix.
    In the Megan Thee Stallion collab, Beyonce sings, “I’m a boss, I’m a leader, I pull up in my two-seater. And my momma was a savage, think I got this s**t from Tina.”
    But Tina told Entertainment Tonight she “didn’t know” about the song, proceeds of which will benefit charitable organisation Bread of Life amid the coronavirus pandemic, and remarked that it was just another way her superstar daughter takes her by surprise.
    “That was really, really cute. People started texting me (saying,) ‘Ok, savage,’ and I was like, ‘What are they talking about?’ ” she laughed. “It’s funny, when I was young, I used to drive a convertible and I used to drive up to Beyonce’s school and she would say, ‘Mama, you are a hot mama.’ ”
    “It fills my heart (and) it’s beautiful. I must’ve done something right, right?”
    While Tina is doing her best to help out during the global health crisis, by teaming up with her daughter on the #IDidMyPart campaign, which encourages testing for Covid-19 in vulnerable communities, she’s also found it tough.
    The 66-year-old added that the most difficult part has been not being able to give her grandchildren – eight-year-old Blue Ivy and two-year-old twins Sir Carter and Rumi – a hug.
    “The two babies that are 2, they don’t really understand, so on Saturday we got together from a safe distance, we all went to Bey’s at a distance,” she explained. “We all got tested, Kelly (Rowland) was there, and I got to see my grandchildren from afar and it was hard. That’s been the hardest part about this.”

    Instagram

    The ‘Juicy’ rapper releases the video as part of Vevo LIFT program just days after making public a dance visual promo for a remix of her hit song that features Nicki Minaj.
    May 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Doja Cat continues to entertain fans amid the coronavirus pandemic using her hit song off new album “Hot Pink”. On Monday, May 4, the “Juicy” rapper came out with a live performance video of “Say So” as part of Vevo LIFT program.
    Nearly four-minute-long, the video captures the 24-year-old singing the song seductively all the way through a two-story personalized cat condo created by the Vevo team. Donning a skimpy pink get-up, she completed her look with fluffy cat ears.

    This “Say So” video was Doja’s second live performance for Vevo LIFT. Back in early March, she did her “Streets” number in a pool of milk wearing pearl-adorned swimsuit. This live performance video of hers has since drawn over 7 millions views.

    Launched in 2011, Vevo LIFT is an artist development program which goal is to put emerging artists under the spotlight using a series of original videos. Previous talents featured on the program included Billie Eilish, Halsey, Khalid, Jorja Smith, SZA, Julia Michaels, YUNGBLUD and Sam Smith.
    Doja’s live performance video of “Say So” itself came just days after she released a dance visual video for a remix version of the track that features Nicki Minaj. The dance video presents three ladies rocking hot pink bodysuits and oozed similarity to the “Anaconda” hitmaker’s iconic “Super Bass” video.

    Doja, whose real name is Amalaratna Zandile Dlamini, has been described as a self-taught singer-rapper. Born and raised in Los Angeles, she began sharing music in 2013 through Soundcloud. She released her “Purrr!” EP one year later, before dropping her debut album “Amala” in 2018. In November 2019, she released a follow-up record titled “Hot Pink”.
    “Say So”, the fifth single off Doja’s sophomore album, has become her most successful track to date. Having gained popularity on social media app TikTok, it became her first Top 10 single on the Billboard Hot 100 after peaking at number five.

    Liam Gallagher Blasts Mark Lanegan Over Claim He Left Oasis Tour Due to Their Altercation

    WENN

    Through his tell-all memoir, the former frontman of Screaming Trees brands the ‘Wall of Glass’ singer ‘an obvious poser’ for bailing on the 1996 tour after he stood up to the latter’s bullying.
    May 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Liam Gallagher has slammed American rocker Mark Lanegan for alleging he quit Oasis’ 1996 U.S. tour after an altercation.
    The Screaming Trees musician’s band was a support act for the group during the infamously troubled trek, which was marred by cancelled gigs and Liam pulling out of one leg altogether.
    According to Mark’s tell-all memoir detailing his rock career and troubles with addiction, the “Wall of Glass” singer bailed on the tour after the American rocker stood up to his bullying – but Liam has denied his version of events in typically robust terms.
    He tweeted, “Mark lannegn (sic) here’s how I saw it I asked you your bands name I was f**king around and called it something else you being an upiight (sic) junkie and not having a sense of humour got your little grungy knickers in a twist another bullshitter trying to sell a book LG x.”

    Liam Gallagher blasts Mark Lanegan over claim about their tour.
    According to British newspaper The Sun, Mark wrote in his book, “I detested bullies and refused to put up with them. Liam Gallagher was an obvious poser, a playground bully.”
    “Like all bullies, he was also a total p***y. He had quit and bailed before I could have a go at him before his promised playground battle royale in Miami.”
    “Typical, I thought. That phoney motherf**ker had p**sed his pants and gone home to mama before I had a chance to blow this whole thing up myself.”
    Detailing their altercation, the “Bed of Roses” hitmaker wrote, “He came up to where we were sitting, ‘Howling Branches,’ he shouted. I realised he was addressing me and attempting a weak joke with the over-the-top intensity of a put-down. F**k off, you stupid f**king idiot,’ was my brief, blase retort.”
