      Simon Cowell and James Corden Fighting Over One Direction's 10th Anniversary Reunion

      by

      Simon reportedly wants the group he mentored on U.K.’s ‘The X Factor’ to perform on the final of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, while James is said to be keen on hosting the boyband’s return.
      Apr 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – One Direction’s rumored 10th anniversary reunion has reportedly caused a rift between Simon Cowell and James Corden, both of whom want to host the comeback.
      Fans are convinced the group is set to reunite for the milestone later this year (20), after singers Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson all re-followed former member Zayn Malik on Twitter – five years after his sensational departure from the band.
      According to Britain’s The Sun newspaper, Simon, the group’s mentor on “The X Factor” U.K., wants the band he created to perform on the final of this year’s “Britain’s Got Talent”, while James, who is a friend of the group and has performed a number of skits with them on his late-night U.S. TV program “The Late Late Show with James Corden”, is also keen to host their return.
      “Simon was their mentor who first had the idea of putting them together as a group and they are one of the most successful acts from one of his shows,” an insider said. “But while all the One Direction boys adore Simon and enjoy working with him, there are other TV shows today.”
      “Harry Styles is very good friends with James’s executive producer Ben Winston – he even used to live with him – so his inclination is to lean towards James’s show.”
      The source also highlighted how the other band members are friendly with James and believe his program is a good platform for the comeback.
      Speaking on James’ show recently, Liam teased of the 10th anniversary celebrations, “I’m not allowed to say too much because I’d be giving it away but we’ve been speaking a lot more at the moment. I think that we’re all feeling that the 10 years (anniversary) is a very special moment.”

      Prine died earlier this month from complications related to COVID-19 and his famous fans and friends got together for a virtual mini-festival to perform some of the Americana legend’s favourite tunes.
      Tweedy led the tributes with his rendition of 1971 ballad “Donald and Lydia”, while McBryde, who once sang at a Prine family reunion, performed her hero’s “That’s the Way the World Goes Round” and “Mexican Home”, becoming emotional at one point and stopping the song.

      Todd Snider, who Prine signed to his Oh Boy record label, and Jim James were also part of the Rolling Stone tribute, while Prine’s longtime friends Margo Price and Jeremy Ivey performed a gospel version of “All the Best”.

      Although he, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan have followed Zayn on Twitter again, the ‘Strip That Down’ singer hints that their ex-bandmate won’t be a part of the reunion.
      Apr 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Liam Payne seems to be hinting that Zayn Malik will not be a part of One Direction’s 10th anniversary reunion. Even though he, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan have re-followed their former bandmate on Twitter, the “Strip That Down” singer lightheartedly asked DJ Alesso to “fill in” for the “Pillow Talk” when his group celebrate the milestone.
      In an Instagram Live chat on Sunday night, April 19, the 26-year-old discussed the rumored online get-together with the “Let Me Go” DJ. Revealing that he and his bandmates have been communicating with each other from their respective lockdown places, he spilled, “Most of us are in London. We’ve been trying to arrange the first group FaceTime at the moment.”
      Upon hearing the update over the band, Alesso jokingly told Liam, “Oh, wow, the whole world is about to explode.” In response, the former contestant of “The X Factor U.K.” replied, “You can come in and fill in for Zayn and join the band.”
      Despite the major revelation, the “Stack It Up” singer did note that he “can’t say too much.” He added, “It was actually, Louis told me off for revealing a bit of our plans the other day. So you’re going to have the group telling me off on the group chat.”

      Days prior, One Direction members has sent internet abuzz when they re-followed Zayn on Twitter. Since then, rumors have been swirling that the boys would release a new track titled “Five” in October. However, a source insisted that reunion was likely to be a small TV celebration.
      “They are back in touch but talks between them are only about something small to mark the anniversary,” the insider told The Sun. “They all have their own music ongoing so a reunion right now just wouldn’t make sense.”

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Tik Tok’ singer pays homage to the ‘Home Alone’ actor and his classic 1990 movie in her latest music offering following her tribute to Nicolas Cage in her previous song.
      Apr 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ke$ha’s new lockdown tune “Home Alone” is a tribute to Macaulay Culkin and his hit 1990 movie of the same name.
      The singer, 33, took to social media to share a clip of the tune, alongside footage of herself performing the new track blended with scenes from the classic film.
      “I’ve been bored at home so I made a song for u animals!!! And a little video,” she explained. “It’s called HOME ALONE… dedicated to all of you sexy people hanging at home…..alone. and also dedicated to the one and only @culkamania.”
      The video begins with a clip of Daniel Stern’s character Marv and Culkin’s Kevin, saying “hello,” as he points a gun into the camera. Kesha then dances around her lavish home in her bra, underwear, knee-high socks and a nearly unbuttoned blue denim shirt, showing off her kitchen, bedroom, and staircase.

      “You know I’m home, alone / Macaulay, ‘Caulay Culkin / And boo, I’m bored / My cellular is broken,” she sings over a drum-heavy beat. “I’m in the mood, I’m in the zone / Honey, I’m not joking / Now ring me up on my home telephone, ring.”
      “I’m setting booby traps in case you’re a bad guy / I’m reading bookies, baking cookies in my thigh-highs.”
      She ends the ditty with the line, “We’ll have a fun time, fun time, right?”
      The track is the star’s latest tribute, after she teased another new song, titled “Nicolas Cage S**t”, dedicated to the “211” star.

      Ellie Goulding Terrified of Performing Online as She Feels Insecure About Her Look and Voice

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Love Me Like You Do’ singer opens up on her securities following her performance at the pre-show of Lady GaGa’s ‘One World: Together at Home’ livestream.
      Apr 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ellie Goulding has always resisted the idea of posting performances online because she doesn’t think she looks or sounds good.
      The 33 year old plucked up the courage to join the British leg of the Global Citizen “One World: Together at Home” livestream on Saturday night, April 18, 2020, but she admits she usually turns down the idea of a home performance.
      “I have a really unusual voice so you either love it or hate it,” she tells The Mirror. “I think I need to get to a point where I’m comfortable posting videos singing – but I overthink it.”
      “I thought I had a big nose and my hair was really weird or that I didn’t have a great figure. That’s why talking and being frank and open about it is really important because every single one of us… has our own insecurities.”
      Goulding joined the likes of Rita Ora and Liam Payne for the “One World” pre-show online and admits it felt great to be part of a huge movement for good, “It’s amazing that we all get to be in something together, terrible as it is.”
      Ellie performed a rendition of “Love Me Like You Do” from her home and then re-appeared onscreen later to talk about anxiety issues she has been struggling with on lockdown.

      “I know music has saved me, I mean it really saved me in my life but saved me recently having to be indoors and if you’re like me you love exploring, love to walk, but because we’re all staying in together this will be over soon hopefully (and) we can catch the last of the summer,” she said.
      “But this has proved that humans can be awesome and the fact that everyone has come together and shown such incredible kindness towards each other, and just following on social media just making each other laugh and making videos and making memes, it’s the stuff that keeps us going and laughing.”
      “Watching funny stuff has helped me through this time. I can get quite anxious, actually I’m finding it really hard. Music has really helped – I’ve been listening to a lot of old music from the 40s and 50s.”
