      Liam Payne Knows Zayn Malik's Heart Was Not in One Direction Long Before Departure

      by

      Speaking about his former bandmate, the ‘Strip That Down’ hitmaker recalls the time the ‘Pillowtalk’ singer told the band he was forced to go to ‘The X Factor U.K.’ audition by his mother.
      Apr 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Liam Payne knew Zayn Malik wouldn’t stay in One Direction as his mum had to convince him to aim for pop stardom.
      The band was formed by Simon Cowell and producers from five contestants on U.K. talent show “The X Factor” in 2010, going on to finish third but becoming that year’s most commercially successful act.
      However, Liam reveals that he always knew Zayn’s heart wasn’t in the band long before his departure in March 2015, as the “Pillowtalk” hitmaker told his bandmates his mum convinced him to audition against his instincts.
      “I remember Zayn telling us the story that it was his mum got him to go to the audition the day he didn’t want to go and that was literally what we saw all the way through One Direction,” the “Strip That Down” hitmaker tells Britain’s Daily Star newspaper.
      Discussing his former bandmate’s attitude, he says that the Pillowtalk hitmaker, who hasn’t performed live since 2016 due to anxiety issues, loves making music, but hates the trappings of fame.
      “Some people are made for this thing but Zayn enjoys the side of the music where he just gets to make music,” Liam explains. “I don’t think he enjoys what comes with it. I think he has to be very careful where he treads.”
      “He likes to make songs and his songs do very well but at the same time he doesn’t really like to go out and perform the songs. He doesn’t really like going out and doing the press stuff that surrounds it in the crazy little world that we live in.”

      The ‘Born This Way’ hitmaker’s delayed sixth studio album has also been uncovered to feature a duet with Elton John after Target made it available for pre-order on its website.
      Apr 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ariana Grande, Elton John and K-pop supergroup BLACKPINK will join Lady GaGa for songs on her next album if a leaked tracklisting is anything to go by.
      Eagle-eyed fans spotted U.S. store Target’s listing for “Chromatica” online on Wednesday (April 22) and noticed some big names had been added to three of the tunes.
      It appears Ariana will be featured on a track titled “Rain on Me”, BLACKPINK will join the pop star for “Sour Candy” and “Shine from Above” is a duet between GaGa and Elton.

      “Chromatica” was scheduled for release this month, but it has been delayed indefinitely due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

      “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 to me to release this album with all that is going on during this global pandemic,” Lady GaGa wrote in a note on Twitter.

      French Montana Clears the Air After Saying That He'd 'Outshine' Kendrick Lamar on Festival Stage

      by

      WENN

      Despite the explanation, fans on Twitter continue to come at the ‘Unforgettable’ hitmaker with one fan noting to French that Kendrick’s ‘main focus isn’t making hits.’
      Apr 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – French Montana is setting the record straight. In a recent interview with Complex News, the rapper discussed his success in the hip-hop industry, insinuating that he would easily beat anyone including Kendrick Lamar. The statements earned him some hate comments, but French refused to change his mind in their favor.
      “I could go against anybody,” he said during the said interview. “You could put somebody like Kendrick Lamar next to me on the same stage at a festival, I might outshine him. Not because I’m a better rapper, or whatever it is. It’s just that I got more hits.”
      He went on explaining, “Kendrick Lamar got albums. He got masterpieces. But if you want to put us on the festival stage, I would outshine him because I have more hits than Kendrick Lamar.”
      As soon as the video of the interview hit the web, some users started to clown French for it. The “Welcome to the Party” spitter caught wind of it, and took to his Twitter account to share more insight into his opinion on the matter.
      “IF WE JUST TALKING ABOUT ANTHEMS, !! ME VS KENDRICK HIT FOR HIT ! I BELIEVE I CAN GO NECK TO NECK !!” French insisted. “I BEEN MAKING HITS FOR A LONG TIME ! IT AINT MY FAULT I BELIEVE IN MYSELF. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION ? HOW MANY TIMES I GOTTA PROVE MYSELF BEFORE I GET MINE.”
      Assuring that there’s no bad blood between him and Kendrick, French added, “I love kendrick! that’s not just for kendrick that’s to anybody they put in front of me, and ask me that same question that u want me to say lol ? It should be your attitude too. If u think any less of yourself don’t blame it on the next person who don’t ! set it up.”

      Despite the explanation, fans continued to come at French. To someone who noted that Kendrick’s “main focus isn’t making hits,” French responded, “My point exactly! He is a different artist. I was just sayin, I’ll win that part. He is gonna win everything else but give me mines lol.”
      “I was talking about hits, we can go neck to neck,” French wrote. “Not taking nothing away from him, just standing for myself.”

      Michael Jackson Livid as Madonna Told Him to 'Dress Like a Girl'

      Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds recalls what the late King of Pop told him, ‘ ‘Babyface, can you believe she wants me to dress like a girl?’ He was like, ‘I’d never do that.’ ‘
      Apr 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – During Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds’ record-breaking Instagram Live battle with Teddy Riley, the former spilled some tea about Michael Jackson. Among them was the moment when the late King of Pop got so mad at Madonna for asking him to dress up like a girl for his “In the Closet” music video.
      In between songs, Babyface recalled what MJ told him, ” ‘Babyface, can you believe she wants me to dress like a girl?’ He was like, ‘I’d never do that.’ He said, ‘She was trying to change it all up. It was crazy.’ ” The record producer then mentioned that the “Heal the World” hitmaker “was really mad about it,” to the point where he decided to replace the Queen of Pop with Naomi Campbell.
      Produced by MJ and Teddy Riley, “In the Closet” was released in April 1992 as the third single off his eighth album “Dangerous”. It became the album’s third consecutive top ten single as it peaked at No. 6 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. The song additionally topped Billboard’s R&B songs chart.
      The song was originally conceived as a duet between the “Beat It” singer and Madonna. In an interview with British journalist Jonathan Ross back in 1992, the “Like a Virgin” hitmaker claimed that she worked on some lyrical ideas for the song but when she presented them to Michael, he decided they were too provocative and they decided not to continue with the project.
      She said at the time, “I started writing words and getting ideas and stuff and I presented them to him and he didn’t like them. I think all he wanted was a provocative title, and ultimately he didn’t want the content of the song to… sort of, live up to the title.”

      Justin Bieber Excited to Release 'Really Special' New Music: 'Be Ready'

      by

      WENN

      The Canadian star jumps on Instagram Live during which he teases about an upcoming ‘special’ new song and tour, though he’s going to wait until ‘this all calms down a little bit’ before releasing anything.
      Apr 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – It seems that Justin Bieber is spending time during Coronavirus lockdown by working on new music. The Canadian star jumped on Instagram Live on Tuesday, April 21 during which he teased about an upcoming “special” new song.
      “We are working on something really special now. Be ready,” the 26-year-old “Despacito” hitmaker told his fans during the broadcast from his home in Canada. “Hopefully when this all calms down a little bit we will be able to release some new stuff. And go on tour eventually, so I’m excited for that.”
      Fans were supposed to be enjoying his “Changes Tour”, a 45-date stadium and arena tour which was initially set to start on May 14. That would mark his first live tour in nearly three years. However, the husband of Hailey Baldwin was forced to postpone the much-anticipated tour due to Coronavirus pandemic.
      “The health and safety of my fans, team, cast and crew is the most important thing for me. The world is a scary place but we will all figure this out together. We held on to these dates as long as we could and I cannot wait to see all of you in person as soon as I can. Be safe,” so he announced earlier this month.
      More than anyone else, Justin was reportedly disappointed by the delay. He “has mentally prepared himself for several weeks that it would be necessary to postpone the tour,” said a source of the “Yummy” singer. “It obviously didn’t come as a shock to him. Yet, he is — of course — very disappointed. He has been rehearsing and preparing for months.”
      “Justin wants to do a safe tour so everyone, including his fans, can feel comfortable being in a large crowd again,” the source added. “If this isn’t possible until next year, Justin will accept that.”

      Rose McGowan to Release Debut Album in Support of Fight Against Coronavirus

      by

      Instagram

      After working on ‘Planet 9’ which she described as ‘music for healing’ for five years, the former ‘Charmed’ actress plans to make it available on all music platforms on Friday, April 24.
      Apr 22, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Rose McGowan is set to release her debut album, “Planet 9”, after working on the project for five years.
      The actress reveals the inspiration for the record and its title comes from an imaginary childhood escape, revealing she used to transport herself there when she was going through tough times.
      “I created a utopian world in my mind and I named it Planet 9,” she explains. “I felt safe on this invented planet of mine. I also used to wonder what sounds existed on my planet. As life went on, I forgot about how special my planet was, I forgot I could go there in times of trouble.”
      “Six years ago, astronomers found a new planet they named Planet 9 – it’s the new planet that demoted Pluto to a star. Holy s! They found my Planet 9! Around the same time, I met some French electronic musicians, and I decided to make music that has the power to lift your spirit. I know this, art, heals.”

      McGowan also took to Instagram to announce that a portion of proceeds from sales of “Planet 9” will go towards the fight against COVID-19.
      “Planet 9 will be on all music platforms this Friday, April 24, but if you go to Bandcamp to purchase 20% of money earned will go to Covid-19 relief,” she posted. “Planet 9 is music for healing, come on a new kind of journey.”

      Rose has taken a break from appearing onscreen in recent years to focus on activism work in the wake of rape accusations she made about disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein in 2017.

      Niall Horan Takes Fans Behind the Scenes in New Music Video for 'Black and White'

      by

      [embedded content]

      Coming off of ‘Heartbreak Weather’, the single itself was written by the One Direction member with Julian Bunetta, Teddy Geiger, Alexander Izquierdo and Scott Harris.
      Apr 22, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Niall Horan has treated fans to a music video for his love song “Black and White”. One month after releasing his second solo album “Heartbreak Weather”, the One Direction member offered a behind-the-scene look at his studio and stage preparation through the brand new visual.
      Released on Tuesday, April 21, the more-than-three-minute promo unveils a montage of grainy footage that sees the 26-year-old Irish singer-songwriter being on the road. It also gives a sneak peek at him singing the song in the studio, doing a photo shoot and goofing off backstage.
      In the chorus of the single, the ex-boyfriend of Hailee Steinfeld could be heard sweetly crooning, “Yeah, I see us in black and white/ Crystal clear on a starlit night/ In all your gorgeous colors / I promise that I’ll love you for the rest of my life/ See you standing in your dress/ I swear in front of all our friends/ There’ll never be another/ I promise that I’ll love you for the rest of my life.”
      “Black and White” was written by the “This Town” hitmaker along with Teddy Geiger, Julian Bunetta, Scott Harris and Alexander Izquierdo. Produced by Bunetta, it is one of the tracks included in “Heartbreak Weather” which has since its debut in mid-March given him his first British number one as a solo artist.
      Sharing his thought on the success of his follow-up to his 2017 debut “Flicker”, the “Nice to Meet Ya” singer admits that the whole acknowledgment is a “huge” achievement for him. He added, “I spent 14 months on this album and to have it received like this is just incredible for me.”
      In support of his sophomore album, Niall initially planned to go on an extensive “Nice to Meet Ya” world tour with Lewis Capaldi. He, however, scrapped the dates because of the coronavirus pandemic. “This was a difficult decision, but the wellbeing of my fans and touring family is always my top priority,” he said in his Instagram announcement.

      “Not being able to tour for what is effectively most of 2020 just didn’t feel right and I’m so sorry to all you amazing people who bought tickets. I look forward to being able to bring new music and a new tour for all of my fans around the world in 2021,” he added. “I want to announce new dates soon but I don’t think it’s fair on you guys to do so until the dust has settled and things have gone back to normal.”
