      The ‘Never Worn White’ singer, who is pregnant with her first child, gives a cryptic reaction to a fan’s question if a show in Sin City could be on the cards during a Facebook Q&A session.
      Apr 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Katy Perry looks set to bounce back after the coronavirus lockdown, after hinting at a new Las Vegas residency show.
      The “Never Worn White” singer, who is currently expecting her first child – a daughter – with fiance Orlando Bloom, teased during a Facebook Q&A session on Easter Sunday, April 12 that a show in Sin City could be on the cards.
      A fan called Patrick asked Katy whether a regular gig would be a possibility and, when Katy seemingly saw the question, she said, “Hey Patrick… That one was for you,” after giving a wink to the camera.
      Last year, it was reported by the Las Vegas Review Journal that the “Small Talk” singer was seen taking a tour of The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, where Celine Dion played for 16 years.

      “She and members of her entourage were shown the balcony and lower-level seating and also visited the Colosseum’s dressing rooms,” a source said at the time.

      Drake Able to Focus on New Album Thanks to Coronavirus Lockdown

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘God’s Plan’ hitmaker offers an update on his new material when joining hip-hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs for his digital Dance-A-Thon to raise COVID-19 relief funds.
      Apr 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The coronavirus lockdown has given Drake the opportunity to give his upcoming album 100 per cent of his attention for the first time in over a decade.
      The “God’s Plan” hitmaker shared an update on his new material late on Sunday (April 12), when he joined hip-hop mogul Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs for his digital Dance-A-Thon to raise COVID-19 relief funds.
      During the Instagram Live chat, Drake, whose club residency in Las Vegas was postponed due to the public health crisis, admitted the last time he was able to clear his schedule and really focus completely on a single project was back in 2009, when he was sidelined by a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
      “I’m working on the album, I’ve been working on it for a while now,” he said.
      “Another silver lining (to lockdown) is, when God does get you to sit down – I remember the last time I had to sit down was when I tore my ACL. And I made a great album out of that,” Drake continued of his hit 2010 debut, “Thank Me Later”.
      “Obviously God has us all inside the house right now sitting down, so the amount of focus I’m able to put into this album is probably way different than it would’ve been if I had to go through the residency in Vegas…”
      And the forced downtime has been great for his creativity.
      Teasing the forthcoming material, Drake smiled, “Definitely, this is the most excited I’ve been about an album in a long time. A lot of little stuff has been trickling out but all the stuff on the album is fresh, it’s brand new. I’m excited. This is probably the most music I’ve ever been sitting on. I’m hyped.”
      The new release will serve as the follow-up to 2018’s “Scorpion”, although Drake has continually served up musical treats for fans, including his latest track, “Toosie Slide”.
      Diddy played the single during Drake’s appearance on his charity fundraiser, and they even performed the viral dance routine together live online.
      Elsewhere in the chat, Diddy revealed Drake had made it onto his top five list of all-time great MCs.
      “Two years ago, three years ago, I didn’t know,” he confessed. “It’s clear the work you put in, you’re in my official Top Five. For real. That’s right. Y’all heard it. Hits, hits, hits, hits, hits, hits!”

      Flattered by the huge compliment, Drake replied, “Thank you. That means the world to me. There’s very few opinions that hold as much weight as yours…”

      Pitbull Encourages People to Face Fear in Coronavirus Anthem 'I Believe That We Will Win'

      by

      [embedded content]

      When asking fans to send him videos of them singing his uplifting song, the ‘Timber’ hitmaker announces that all proceeds will go toward various charities supporting COVID-19 relief efforts.
      Apr 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Pitbull is encouraging others to face their fear amid coronavirus crisis through an uplifting new song. On Monday, April 13, the “Timber” hitmaker releases a COVID-19 anthem titled “I Believe That We Will Win”, sending a message that humanity is bigger than the pandemic.
      “You know what spreads faster than any virus? Is fear/ And when it comes to fear, you can either forget everything and run, or you can face everything and rise/ Let me tell you what I believe/ I believe we will face everything and rise,” the 39-year-old rapper kicks off the single. In the chorus, he chants, “I believe that we will win!/ Say it with me.”
      Dishing on how the song came to be, the “Feel This Moment” rapper recalls when a close friend made a beat to the “I Believe That We Will Win” chant on the internet. “I thought it was crazy that he was showing it to me because it was literally when the lockdown started and I told him, ‘Man, this is what the world needs right now,’ ” he shares with Billboard.
      “I knocked out the record within a day and a half and by the third day, we were ready to put out the snippet for everybody because I felt that that message is needed right now more than ever,” the one-time Grammy winner, whose real name is Armando Christian Perez, continues.
      Pitbull further discusses his outlook over the crisis the world is currently facing. “I always look at things like a blessing in disguise. I look at solutions and opportunities and more than anything I look at the message and the lesson,” he gushes, adding that the pandemic has given “God’s green earth a couple of months to be able to breathe.”
      The “We Are One” hitmaker additionally notes that “it reminded people to utilize technology, don’t let it use you. It got to the point that people were so connected that they were disconnected now they’re so disconnected that ironically they’re connected. I think it’s something great for humanity to come together now.”
      “We’re going to get through this, we’ll fight through this,” he stresses. “We have a recovery number of nearly 400,000 worldwide and that’s what we need to be talking about. That’s what I look for and we should be talking about these numbers to give people hope and motivation. To be able to be a part of this historical time and see a response from people like, ‘Damn, I am strong, we can make it,’ that for me is priceless.”
      Aside from trying to lift up people’s spirit with the single, Pitbull encourages fans to be a part of his video anthem by sending him a video that shows how much they believe. “I’m asking people to send their videos because it will be a world movement and what better than to start it in my backyard, the 305,” he explains.
      Pitbull also announces that all proceeds of the song will go toward various charities supporting COVID-19 relief efforts. Saban Music Group founder Haim Saban backs the rapper’s statement by sharing, “Pitbull reached out saying he wanted to do this track and asked if I was in and I said, ‘I’m in if the revenue goes to charity’ and he said, ‘Absolutely, that’s not even a question’ and that’s how it all started.”

      Ja Rule Challenges 50 Cent to Instagram Live Song Battle

      by

      WENN

      Fans quickly share an opinion about Ja’s desire to have an online battle with his longtime foe as some of them appear to be skeptical that the battle will really take place.
      Apr 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ja Rule is down for a real battle with rival 50 Cent. After feuding with the “In Da Club” rapper for almost 2 decades, Ja revealed in a new Instagram Live that he was ready for a battle with Fiddy for the next installment of Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s Versuz series.
      “I want all the smoke but I’ll behave,” he promised to Swizz and Fat Joe during a livestreaming on April 11. Seemingly not being convinced, Swizz responded, “That sounds like a devilish behave.”
      Fans quickly shared an opinion about Ja’s desire to have a battle with Fifty. “Ja Rule will never stand a chance against my man 50. He chasin clout,” one fan wrote on Twitter. Some others appeared to be skeptical that the battle would really take place. “I don’t think it’s gonna happen,” one tweeted.
      However, should they really do this, one fan believed that “Ja Rule would win.” Another supporter said, “Ja has more hits then 50.” Some people were against the idea though, claiming, “Nobody wanna hear no jarule s**t come on.”
      Ja and 50’s feud started back in 1999 when Ja was robbed at gunpoint for his chain in Southside Jamaica, Queens. Fiddy then claimed that Ja saw him at a club with the culprit only weeks later. Ja admitted to being robbed but he denied seeing 50 with the culprit. Further making things worse was when J and Murder Inc. rapper Black Child were arrested when 50 was stabbed at Hit Factory recording studio in New York.
      The two rappers had released diss tracks about each other and openly taken a jab at each other on social media. Talking about their beef on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” back in 2019, Ja said, “Here’s the thing. We’ve been having this ongoing feud for, I don’t know, seems like it’s been fifteen years.”
      “And, I think it’s time that we’ve grown past it. So, I’m to take the day on and … I am removing myself from the circus. Because, what I realized is that when you entertain clowns, you become part of the circus,” he continued. “He’s a bad father. He’s got like a big square box head. And, one more thing – he looks like his breath stinks.”

      Drake Becomes First Male Artist to Score Three No.1 Debuts on Hot 100 Chart With 'Toosie Slide'

      by

      WENN

      Breaking his tie with Justin Bieber, the ‘God’s Plan’ hitmaker dethrones The Weeknd’s ‘Blinding Lights’ on the Billboard countdown, and matches Mariah Carey’s milestone in the mid-to-late 1990s.
      Apr 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Drake has broken chart records in the U.S., becoming the only male artist to score three number one debuts.
      The rapper’s “Toosie Slide” has entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number one, matching Mariah Carey’s milestone in the mid-to-late 1990s.
      “Toosie Slide” is Drake’s seventh total Hot 100 chart-topper. It joins “God’s Plan” and “Nice for What”, which both debuted at number one in 2018.
      It breaks a tie with Justin Bieber, who has two number one debuts to his name.
      Britney Spears and Ariana Grande have also debuted two songs at the top of the Hot 100.
      Drake’s run of number ones began in 2010 with “What’s My Name?” – the hit he recorded with Rihanna.
      “Toosie Slide” success gives Drake his 50th week at the top of the Hot 100. Only Mariah Carey, Rihanna and The Beatles have spent more weeks at number one.
      He’s now just one top 10 hit behind Madonna, who has 38, and extends his record run of Hot 100 hits to 209.
      The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” drops to two on the new countdown, while Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” also falls a spot to three.
      Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” and Future’s “Life Is Good”, featuring Drake, complete the new top five.
      Meanwhile, Post Malone has moved to within a week of matching the record for the longest Hot 100 top 10 run as “Circles” drops from four to six.

      If he spends another week in the top flight, he’ll match a record tie with himself – for “Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)”, Maroon 5 (“Girls Like You”), and Ed Sheeran (“Shape of You”). Those three tracks all spent 33 weeks in the top 10.

      Apr 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – One Direction has given the biggest hint to date that they’re set to reunite with Zayn Malik after re-following their former bandmate on Twitter.
      The “Pillowtalk” hitmaker was an original member of the group from 2010 to 2015, when he sensationally quit the band and went solo, leaving Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan to continue as a four-piece.
      The stars have made no secret of their subsequent feud with Zayn, with Niall recently commenting the star “never really spoke to” the group after walking away from the spotlight.
      However, eagle-eyed fans have spotted a development in their relationship, as all four members of the group re-followed Zayn on Twitter – around the same time the official One Direction account was also reactivated.

      Posting with the hashtag #OneDirectionReunion, fans also spotted the group’s imagery on Apple Music had been updated to include Zayn. And according to several users, the list of band members displayed on Google has also been amended to include all five stars once again.

      During a recent interview, Liam hinted at a forthcoming reunion – though he didn’t name Zayn as part of the plans.
      “We’ve all been speaking together a lot over the last few weeks, which has been really nice,” he said. “To hear a lot of people’s voices and seeing old content and different things that we haven’t seen for a long time or never seen before, it’s very interesting… More than anything it’s just been a real good time for us to connect together again.”
      One Direction rose to fame on U.K. TV talent show “The X Factor” in 2010, and topped charts worldwide with hits including “What Makes You Beautiful”, “Night Changes”, “History” and “Story of My Life”.
