      Mar 3, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Halsey will not be touring again “for a very long time” after she finishes her current “Manic” world trek.
      The “Bad at Love” hitmaker, 25, is on the road in Europe, and is set to head to Asia and her native U.S. before her tour comes to a close in August (2020).
      After performing in Munich, Germany on Saturday, February 29, the star announced that she is to take a long hiatus from touring soon.
      “I think 2020 will mark the end of me touring for a very long time,” she wrote on Instagram on Sunday. “Thank you for making the memories so special. I am cherishing every single night.”

      The singer recently told The Guardian newspaper that she’s hopeful she’ll be able to start a family after suffering from three miscarriages, including one on stage, due to her battle with endometriosis.
      She said motherhood is, “looking like something that’s gonna happen for me,” adding, “That’s a miracle.”

      Flavor Flav Ousted From Public Enemy After Row Over Bernie Sanders Support

      by

      The hip hop group make public their decision to move forward without their rapper bandmate just hours after Chuck D threatens to give him ‘a year to get his act together.’
      Mar 3, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Public Enemy has fired rapper Flavor Flav after more than 35 years with the band, following a row surrounding their support for U.S. presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders.
      Things kicked off when Flav sent a cease-and-desist notice to Sanders, telling him to stop using Public Enemy’s name and his likeness in campaign propaganda, after the group’s co-founder Chuck D signed up to perform with offshoot band Public Enemy Radio at a Los Angeles rally for Sanders on Sunday, March 01.
      However, many media reports and posters promoting the event simply noted the appearance of Public Enemy – leading Flav to employ his lawyers to issue a legal warning.
      Chuck then hit back at his original bandmate, with his attorney insisting he “could perform as Public Enemy if he ever wanted to” because “he is the sole owner of the Public Enemy trademark”, and later clarified on Twitter that his issues with Flav’s stance don’t stem from their political beliefs.
      While Chuck had originally threatened to give Flav “a year to get his act together and get himself straight or he’s out”, it seems things quickly escalated in the following hours, with a brief statement issued on Sunday confirming the group would be “moving forward” without the rapper.
      “Public Enemy and Public Enemy Radio will be moving forward without Flavor Flav,” the statement read. “We thank him for his years of service and wish him well.”

      Flav has yet to respond to the unceremonious firing on his social media pages.

      Mar 2, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Sam Smith’s upcoming album “To Die For” is inspired by the star’s lifelong conflict with gender identity.
      Last year (19), the Grammy Award-winning artist came out as non-binary, and revealed they prefer ‘they/them’ pronouns, sparking an outpouring of support from fans online, including those dealing with similar issues.
      Sam has been a longtime advocate for queer rights, and speaking to Australia’s The Daily Telegraph newspaper, explained being able to help people is “wonderful.”
      “Right now I am just trying to figure out my s**t and if it is helping other people, then it is absolutely wonderful,” the “Stay With Me” star said.
      The musician is set to release their new album, which is inspired by the “shame I have felt my entire life,” in May.

      Lil Baby Reveals He's Encouraged to Start Beef With DaBaby Over Similar Monikers

      by

      Instagram

      Lil Baby admits that many people in his camp try to pit him and fellow rapper DaBaby against each other but he always says no because ‘he don’t kick my swag.’
      Mar 2, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Many people might get Lil Baby and fellow rapper DaBaby mixed up since they have similar stage names. Lil Baby recently discussed the matter in a new interview with Joe Budden, revealing that a lot of people had tried to make him see that as something provoking.
      “I ain’t gon’ lie, so many n****s tried to go that way with me, but I always curved it from day one. Like, hell naw,” Lil Baby explained to Joe on “The Pull Up with Joe Budden” when the latter asked if anyone in his team tried to position him and DaBaby against each other. “A n***a will be like, ‘He tried to say this’ and I’ll be like, ‘No.’ Every time, I made sure it wasn’t going to be nothing.”
      Additionally, Lil Baby shared that he even saw DaBaby promoting himself as a rapper at SXSW before he started taking music seriously. “I seen him at South by Southwest before I really started rapping with a diaper on like on some baby s**t,” Lil Baby said.
      “Even though my name was Baby from like hustling before rap. I actually seen him. I got a song with him for a feature before he got hot. … He don’t sound like me. He don’t kick my swag. His name just ‘DaBaby’,” he continued, before revealing that they collaborated on a song before DaBaby rose to fame.

      The pair recently reunited on “Baby” off 2019’s “Control the Streets Vol. 2”. Both of them also recently appeared on Future and Drake’s “Life Is Good (Remix)”.
      That aside, Lil Baby lately made headlines for his drama with girlfriend Jayda Ayanna or Jayda Cheaves, who is currently feuding with Alexis Skyy. The rapper previously sparked split rumors between him and Jayda, though he set the record straight during his appearance on “My Turn” on Friday, February 28.
      When asked if he and Jayda are still together, he responded with an affirmative “yes,” before explaining their relationship, “It ain’t know ‘still together.’ She’s like, my son’s mama. It ain’t no way we cannot be together. Even if we ain’t in a relationship, like boyfriend and girlfriend type s**t.”

      Mariah Carey Concludes Las Vegas Residency Amid Struggle to Sell Tickets

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ hitmaker ends her ‘The Butterfly Returns’ residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace right on schedule even though ‘she’s not selling out like she used to.’
      Mar 2, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Mariah Carey’s Las Vegas residency came to an end, but not on a high note. The “All I Want For Christmas Is You” hitmaker concluded her “The Butterfly Returns” residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on Saturday, February 29 amid reports she struggled to sell its tickets.
      For the final show, the 49-year-old singer rocked a plunging black leotard with a detachable black skirt. At one point, she removed the skirt to reveal a pair of nude fishnet tights and matching platform heels. She wore her long blonde locks down and showed off her beauty through glam palette of makeup. She was also seen donning a classy pink gown for the stint.
      While the “Touch My Body” singer delivered stunning performance, her residency apparently didn’t fare well in the ticket department. According to Radar Online, she gave free tickets to selected people in order to make sure “sold out” shows even though the highest ticket for her residency was sold for an average of $100.
      “Every high roller and whale who’s flying into Vegas is being given free tickets to her show,” a source told the outlet. “They’re being handed out at sports books, included in room service bills and slipped under doors all over the hotel. That’s why she wanted a residency and not a tour – because she’s not selling out like she used to.”
      “The Butterfly Returns” residency was a follow-up to Carey’s #1 to Infinity residency which lasted from 2015 to 2017. First launched in July 2018, it got extended for additional February 2019 dates a few months later. Its latest run was for eight February 2020 dates. Radar Online claimed that ticket sales had been low since the beginning, forcing her to sell them at discount sites back in 2018.
      Carey’s next move will be headlining Britain’s world famous Brighton Pride event. On Valentine’s Day, organizers confirmed that she will perform at the LGBTQ+ event in August. Their announcement tweet read, “Excited to announce global superstar @MariahCarey, GRAMMY & GLAAD Award winner, and best-selling female artist of all time, will headline FABULOSO Pride In The Park on Saturday 1st August 2020 with a full 75 minute show!”

      Artist of the Week: Billie Eilish

      by

      The ‘Bad Guy’ hitmaker continues to be unstoppable as she wins big at the Grammys, delivers a touching performance at the Oscars, and makes history with her James Bond song.
      Mar 2, 2020
      AceShowbiz – 2020 is bound to be another big year for young rising star Billie Eilish. She kicked off the new year with a bang as she took home a total of five Golden Gramophones including the coveted Album of the Year at the 62nd annual Grammy Awards back in January.
      She made history as the youngest person and first woman to win the four main categories, Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Album of the Year, in the same year. It’s all thanks to her debut album “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?”.
      The 18-year-old singer/songwriter then followed it up with a performance at the biggest movie awards, the Oscars. Joined by her brother Finneas O’Connell, she delivered a touching rendition of The Beatles’ ever-lasting single “Yesterday” during the “In Memoriam” segment.
      On top of that, she has been enlisted to sing the title track for the upcoming twenty-fifth installment in the James Bond film franchise, “No Time to Die”. With her brother as a producer, she became the youngest artist in history to write and record a 007 theme song.
      Shortly after it’s released and debuted during her live performance at the Brit Awards, the single soared to No. 1 on the U.K. charts. It became the second Bond song to top the charts and also gave the female artist her first number one single in the United Kingdom.
      Despite all her accomplishments, Billie Eilish keeps herself grounded. On the Grammy night during the Album of the Year winner announcement, she was caught on camera repeatedly mouthing, “Please don’t be me,” before yelling, “No!!” when she’s announced as the victor.
      During her acceptance speech, she revealed she was actually rooting for fellow artist Ariana Grande. “Can I just say that I think Ariana deserves this?” she said. ” ‘Thank U, Next’ got me through some s**t, and I think it deserves this more than anything in the world.”
      Her brother later explained her reluctance to receive the award, “We were both kind of embarrassed to win so much; you hope that it will be kind of equal, but after the third in a row…well, we love all of our fellow nominees.”
      She also had an unlikely reaction to her Oscar performance. Despite getting rave reviews online, she said it could have been better. “I bombed that performance,” she said. “That was trash.”

      Judy Garland Orchestral Arrangements Bring In More Than $30K in Auction

      by

      The sold collection, which includes ‘Over the Rainbow’ arrangements, has been found in a trunk the late actress left behind at the Plaza Hotel in New York City in the late 1960s.
      Mar 2, 2020
      AceShowbiz – A large collection of Judy Garland’s orchestral arrangements has sold at auction for more than $30,000 (£23,460).
      Hundreds of song arrangements, including notes for classics like “Over the Rainbow”, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, and “I’m Always Chasing Rainbows”, were found in a trunk left behind by the late singer/actress at the Plaza Hotel in New York City in the late 1960s.
      She had primarily used the pieces for her variety series, “The Judy Garland Show”, which aired for one season until 1964, and for a number of stage performances, including at Broadway’s famed Palace Theatre.
      The case and its contents were later given to Costas Omero, director/producer of the Plaza show Look Me Up, and his daughter placed it up for sale via Nate D. Sanders Auctions.

      The lot sold on Thursday night (February 27) for $30,599 (£23,930) – more than 10 times its starting price of $3,000 (£2,350).
