      Feb 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Another day, another trolling. 50 Cent is back at it again with his online antics, and he recently took to his Twitter account to joke about taking over the CEO position at Def Jam Recordings following the departure of Paul Rosenberg.
      “I have decided to take the Job at Def Jam,” the rapper and “Power” executive producer joked on Thursday, February 27. “Somebody gotta do it, who better then me.”
      He followed it up with a tweet that read, “wait let me see, what they got first,” alongside a picture of the label’s logo.

      50 Cent trolls Def Jam Recordings on Twitter.
      Playing along with Fiddy’s joke, fans in the replies were all in for the idea. “50 please get them to make another def jam video game like the second one and nothing like icon. Thanks 50. G unit,” one wrote. Trolling back, someone tweeted, “U gna do nothing but bully every other Major Label President… I WANT MY MONEY BY MONDAY YOUR IM KIDNAPPING YOUR ARTIST.’ ”
      Meanwhile, a fan listed what he wanted Fiddy to do should the hip-hop mogul really take over the company. “FIGHT FOR NY REMAKE. it’s what the people deserve. Add new fighters, get some Detroit blood in there,” the person demanded.
      Fofty’s tweets arrive after Rosenberg announced on Friday, February 21 that he stepped down from the CEO position following two years with the label. Explaining that it was just a bit too much with everything else that he has going on, Rosenberg said, “Lucian offered me a dream opportunity to serve at the helm of Def Jam. The experience I had running one of the greatest, most storied record companies of the modern era was incredible.”
      “I will remain forever grateful. I’ve learned a great deal, but one of the most important things I learned is that my ability to multi-task is not without limits,” so Rosenberg, who is also Eminem’s longtime manager, concluded his statement.
      Despite the announcement, he will still stay with company as he plans to transition into a new role as head of a new joint venture with Universal Music Group and Goliath Records. Roserberg, who previously replaced Steve Bartels after the latter served as Def Jam CEO from 2013-2017, will also continue his work with Em and Shady Records.

      The much-anticipated visuals features two men fighting in a desert alien world before the pop superstar, who sports an all-pink ensemble, shows up to put an end to the fuss.
      Feb 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa is returning to her quirky musical roots. Following much anticipation, the pop superstar has released her first solo single in three years entitled “Stupid Love” along with its accompanying music video that finds her portraying a pink-haired extraterrestrial beauty.
      The visuals opens with an introduction that read, “The world rots in conflict. Many tribes battle for dominance, While the Spiritual ones pray and sleep for peace, and the Kindness punks fight for Chromatica…” The scene then changes to show two men fighting in a desert alien world until a pink-haired GaGa shows up to put an end to the fuss.
      In the music video, there are also scenes of the singer dancing while singing along to the song. “Now it’s time to free me from the chain/ I gotta find that peace, is it too late or.” she sings in the second verse. “Could this love protect me from the pain?/ I would battle for you (Even if I break in two).”
      Produced by BloodPop, “Stupid Love” serves as the lead single off GaGa’s upcoming sixth album that still doesn’t have a title nor a release date. Details of the album are also currently scarce as of now. It will be her first solo album since 2017’s “Joanne”, which debuted atop Billboard 200 and became her fourth album to top the weekly chart. Receiving positive reviews from music critics, it was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards while its title track won Best Pop Solo Performance.
      Last year, GaGa also won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Song Written for Visual Media for her Bradley Cooper duet “Shallow” that served as the soundtrack to “A Star Is Born”. The song was additionally named Best Original Song at the 2019 Academy Award, earning GaGa her first Oscars win.

      by

      WENN/Judy Eddy

      His diss is a reference to his viral ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ appearance on which he playfully corrected Jimmy for calling him the first drag queen to grace Vanity Fair’s cover.
      Feb 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – RuPaul is apparently not done messing up with Jimmy Fallon over the latter’s near-fatal blunder. Weeks after his playful correction at “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” host’s “Drag Queen” reference became viral, the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” host released a new song titled “I’m That B***h” that took a shot at the comedian again.
      A 1-minute preview of the diss track, which was obtained by Entertainment Weekly, hears RuPaul rapping about Fallon’s unintentional offensive remarks. “Had to almost cancel Jimmy, put him in a bodybag. He called me a drag queen? B***h, I’m the queen of drag!” the Emmy Awards winner spits. “In case you forgot, let me remind you that I, I, I’m that b***h!”
      “I’m that B***h” was written by the 59-year-old TV personality along with music collaborator Leland, Freddy Scott and Tom Campbell. It will be made available for streaming and download on Friday, February 28 after the Season 12 premiere of “RuPaul’s Drag Race”. A cast-assisted version of this song will also debut on the premiere night.

      RuPaul and Fallon made headlines earlier this February when he stopped by for an interview aired on February 6. At one point of their chat, Fallon brought up the topic of RuPaul being the first “Drag Queen” to land on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine. To Fallon’s surprise, RuPaul snapped at his reference, exclaiming in return, “A drag queen? A drag queen? I am the queen of drag!”

      The awkward moment has since gone viral with Fallon weighing on his slip up less than a week later. “I really thought it was over,” he confessed on his late night talk show. ” ‘That’s it. I’m canceled, I have to start up my own #JimmyFallonIsOverParty.’ I had a good run, you know, 10 years in the business… I was like ‘wait what did I do wrong?!’ ” He added, “My thanks to RuPaul, we love you. That was a very funny moment.”

      Taylor Swift Channels Leonardo DiCaprio as a Man in New Music Video

      by

      The ‘Lover’ singer transforms into a man and recreates scenes from Martin Scorsese’s ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ in a music video supporting her feminist anthem ‘The Man’.
      Feb 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Taylor Swift donned drag to transform herself into an obnoxious, hard partying man for her new music video.
      The “Bad Blood” hitmaker has directed the promo for the track “The Man”, from her “Lover” album, and went through an intensive makeup transformation to play a sexist playboy in the short film, which debuted Thursday, February 27, 2020.
      In the video, Taylor as The Man berates co-workers in an office, manspreads on the subway while smoking a cigar, urinates on a station wall, parties with bikini-clad models on a yacht, and throws a tantrum at a women’s charity tennis tournament.
      At the end of the video, Taylor, as director, is shown talking to the actor playing The Man, voiced by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and tells him he needs to be “sexier” and “more likeable.” The credits then reveal the makeup transformation the 29-year-old popstar underwent to play the role.
      It also contains a dig at music manager Scooter Braun, who she has feuded with over his decision to buy up her back catalogue, and a jokey namecheck for Leonardo DiCaprio – with many of the video’s scenes bearing a resemblance to his movie “The Wolf of Wall Street”.
      [embedded content]
      Before releasing the video, the star hosted a YouTube Q&A session with fans in the comments section of her YouTube Premiere account, revealing what it was like to direct the video – and hinted at some of its secrets.
      “I loved the months of prep, meetings, location scouting, set design, mood boards, deciding every detail down to the wardrobe each actress/actor wore and working with them on set,” she wrote. “So um all of it.”
      She also described the person playing The Man as “A bo$$” and hinted that there would be cameos in the video “but not in the way you think.”
      One person who does make a full cameo in the video is Taylor’s dad Scott, who appears briefly as a tennis umpire.

      by

      WENN/Judy Eddy

      The upcoming 55th annual Academy of Country Music Awards is going to be hosted by one of the nominees Keith Urban at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
      Feb 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Maren Morris and Thomas Rhett lead the nominees for the 2020 Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards with five nominations each, combining their appearances and production credits.
      Maren earned her five nominations across four categories, including Female Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for “GIRL”, Music Event of the Year for her involvement on Miranda Lambert’s “Fooled Around and Fell In Love”, and Group of the Year for her work with The Highwomen.
      Meanwhile, Thomas was also nominated in four categories, including Entertainer of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for “Center Point Road”, and Video of the Year for “Remember You Young”.
      Maren will face off against Kelsea Ballerini, Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves, and Carrie Underwood for Female Artist of the Year, while Thomas has competition from Dierks Bentley, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, and Keith Urban for Male Artist of the Year.
      Elsewhere on the shortlist, pop star Justin Bieber also bagged an impressive four nominations for his Dan + Shay collaboration “10,000 Hours”, tying country stars Old Dominion and Blake Shelton who were also successful on the shortlist.
      Rapper Lil Nas X was also nominated for his crossover hit, “Old Town Road”, featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, for Music Event of the Year.
      Women are represented in every major category where they are eligible for the 2020 ACM Awards, including Entertainer of the Year (Carrie Underwood) and album of the year (Maren Morris and Miranda Lambert).
      The awards have faced criticism in years past for their failure to include major female country artists in top categories, with last year’s host Reba McEntire commenting of the past disparities, “It doesn’t make me very happy because we’ve got some very talented women out there who are working their butts off.”
      There were also an impressive twenty-five artists and industry creators who received nominations for the first time, including country music singers Lauren Alaina and Ashley McBryde.
      The nominations were announced on Thursday, February 27, 2020, with Keith Urban also named as the host of the ceremony, replacing Reba, who helmed last year’s prizegiving for the 16th time.
      The 55th ACM Awards take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 5.

      Fans Attempt to Rap as Fast as Eminem Through the #GodzillaChallenge

      by

      WENN/Sheri Determan

      The Detroit rapper dares fans to duplicate the tongue-twisting third verse on the ‘Music to Be Murdered By’ track and promises to give prizes for his favorite ones.
      Feb 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Eminem’s fans are trying to give him a run for his money with their rap skills. Shortly after the “Lose Yourself” hitmaker launched a viral #GodzillaChallenge, people all around the world took to their social media accounts to show off their own “Godzilla” rap version.
      The 47-year-old MC kicked off the challenge on Tuesday, February 25 by uploading a video of him rapping to his latest single from “Music to Be Murdered By” album. ” ‘Fill ’em with the venom and eliminate ’em’ ” @trillervids #GodzillaChallenge is on,” he wrote in the caption of the post. “Who can spit it? Reposting + got prizes for my favorites.”
      The 30-second clip itself saw the “Without Me” rapper spitting 224 words with a total of 330 syllables for his collaboration with late rapper Juice WRLD. That means, 7.23 words came out of his mouth in just one second, according to Genius website.
      Hours afterwards, many shared their attempt online. Hip hop dancer Matt Steffanina turned to his Instagram account to post a duet rap with his female rapper friend GЅnaps. “THE SUBTITLES CANT KEEP UP,” he exclaimed in the caption of his post. While his clip was short, it showed the two of them faring quite well in their rapid spit bid.

      Russian musician Slame, meanwhile, seemed to be more serious in taking on the challenge. He even gave a Russian twist to his cover of “Godzilla” as he put out his video on the photo-sharing platform. Since its release, the 1-and-a-half minute clip has amassed more than 215,000 views.

      “How to Make It in America” actor Bryan Greenberg, on the other hand, treated his fans to a bit of laughter with his attempt. Uploading a video of his effort on Instagram, he declared, “Who wants smoke? I just crushed this #godzillachallenge @eminem I’m ready to battle whenever!” His video, however, featured him missing lines and managing to only spit “fill ’em.”

      #GodzillaChallenge came days after Eminem released the “Music to Be Murdered By”. The LP itself has many reference to sensitive issues, including the Manchester bombing at Ariana Grande’s concert and Las Vegas’ 2017 mass shooting. He said in an Instagram post, “This album was not made for the squeamish.”

      “If you are easily offended or unnerved at the screams of bloody murder, this may not be the collection for you,” the rapper, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, warned. “Certain selections have been designed to shock the conscience, which may cause positive action. Unfortunately, darkness has truly fallen upon us.”

      WENN/Avalon

      When stopping by ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, the Jonas Brothers member admits he was ‘annoyed’ no one informed him of the dental snafu before he got onstage.
      Feb 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Nick Jonas learned he had spinach in his teeth during his Grammy Awards comeback performance from Adam Levine.
      The star and his Jonas Brothers bandmates Kevin Jonas and Joe Jonas wowed the crowd when they performed their track “What a Man Gotta Do” at the ceremony last month (January), but the singer was embarrassed when he discovered he had been making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
      And Jonas admitted he’s “annoyed” no one informed him of the dental snafu before the cameras caught it.
      “Here’s the thing that’s really frustrating about this, OK? First of all, there was spinach in my teeth from my breakfast, which I ate hours before. So the entire day, no one thought to be like, ‘Hey man, there’s something back there,’ ” he said on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”.
      After the Jonas Brothers left the stage, their manager gave Nick the bad news, leading him to check his phone – where he found a message from Adam Levine.
      “We were really excited because the performance went pretty well and it was like our Grammy moment. Our return,” Nick added. “I was so amped and I was like, ‘What’d you think?’ and he’s like, ‘Well, just don’t check (texts on phone)!’ ”
      He immediately checked his phone only to discover a teasing text from the Maroon 5 frontman.

      “The first message on my phone was from Adam Levine. He’s like, ‘Nice performance. You had a little schmutz in your teeth.’ ”
