Miley Cyrus refuses to google herself



Miley Cyrus has opened up about life in the public eye, saying that she doesn't Google herself because she doesn't want to know what other people are saying about her.

The We Can't Stop singer said in a new interview with the BBC: "People that probably fall off are the people obsessed with Googling themselves and knowing what people are saying."

Miley continued: "If I knew what people were saying about me, I'd probably hate myself. I don't look at that kind of stuff."

The 20-year-old star also said that, despite her mega-celebrity status, she thinks everyone deserves to be treated equally.

Cyrus revealed: "I have a mouth of a sailor, I keep it nice for TV, but I don't think that makes someone a good or a bad person - the way you treat people is what makes a good person. Everyone's equal."

"I hate when people treat me nicer than they treat other people because of who I am, because it's so fake. So I think that's what makes a good role model, is how you treat people."

Harry Styles "some of my tattoos are "awful."


One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles has admitted that some of his tattoos are "awful."

During an interview with We Love Pop magazine, the Best Song Ever star picked out one design in particular that he dislikes the most - which was etched onto his skin by popstar pal, Ed Sheeran.

Many have mistaken the small padlock tatt on his left wrist for a handbag in the past, with Hazza telling the publication: "There are some that my friends have done and some that are just awful.

Pointing to the padlock, Styles explained: "I regret this one on my wrist here. I regret this. I mean, these are just cr*p!"

As well as discussing his body art, Harry and bandmate Niall Horan were also quizzed about their celebrity crushes by the mag.

Irish hunk Horan stated: "Cheryl Cole! You always have to flirt with Cheryl when you see her."

While Harry stayed true to form and picked a more mature lady as the object of his affections, confessing: "What a great question. Probably Michelle Obama."

Niall then agreed: "I love Michelle Obama. What a nice woman."

1D also hit the headlines this week after each gracing the cover of men's mag, GQ.

Ke$ha was born with a tail?



Ke$ha has taken being an Animal to the next level by revealing she was born with a tail.

During an interview with Heat magazine, the Crazy Kids singer explained how she was born with a piece of bone sticking out of the bottom of her back - which looked a look like the tail of an animal.

The 26-year old recalled: "I had a tail when I was born. It was a tiny tail, about a quarter of an inch, then they chopped it off and stole my tail.

"That was when I was little. I'm really sad about that story."

In the same interview, the Tik Tok hitmaker also confessed she wanted to give One Direction star Harry Styles "a little spank", while stating that shooting MTV series My Crazy, Beautiful Life was "one of my favourite things to do."

Elaborating further, the star said she enjoyed the show as her "fans got to see the off-stage me verses the on-stage me."

Speaking of the infamous scene where she drinks her own pee, Ke$ha added: "Mine isn't that bad, but I'm a very hydrated person. It tasted kind of like candy."

Rihanna wins Topshop battle



Rihanna has won her legal battle against Topshop after the high-street store used a unauthorised image of the Bajan babe on a range of T-shirts.

The Diamonds singer sued parent company Arcadia Group Brands Ltd for a rumoured £3.5million in damages, after the fashion chain sold an unknown number of T-shirts baring the design in 2011 and 2012.

It is thought the photo was taken by a freelance snapper when RiRi was filming the video for 2011 track We Found Love in Northern Ireland, with her attorneys pointing out that it was "very similar" to pictures on her Talk That Talk album.

They added that this could lead to fans thinking it was "genuine" Rihanna merchandise and feeling 'duped' after learning it was fake.

The Mirror previously obtained legal papers regarding the case, which read: "The base image of the first claimant [Rihanna] is of such an unflattering nature that it would not be approved."

They went onto claim that the pic - which showed RiRi wearing her hair in a bandana - was "poor" quality, adding that the "low-quality image and product that would not have been authorised by the first claimant".

RiRi also accused Topshop of wrongly using her name in the course of trade to appeal to consumers with "an emotional connection to their heroine", with the store insisting that she was making an unjustifiable bid to establish a "free-standing image right" over use of her picture in the UK.

At a hearing at London's High Court today (July 31), Mr Justice Birss stated that there was "no such thing as a general right by a famous person to control the reproduction of their image".

"The taking of the photograph is not suggested to have breached Rihanna's privacy. The mere sale by a trader of a T-shirt bearing an image of a famous person is not an act of passing off."

He then concluded: "However, I find that Topshop's sale of this T-shirt was an act of passing off."

Rihanna has not formally commented on this case as of yet, we will have to wait and see if she does.  

Sharon Osbourne on Justin Bieber " His career won't last"


According to reports
Sharon Osbourne has hit out at Justin Bieber, describing the teen idol as a "lost kid", also warning that his career will suffer if his bad behaviour continues.

Speaking to The Daily Beast about JB's recent antics - which include peeing in a restaurant mop bucket and allegedly spitting at fans - The X Factor judge also branded Justin "about as mean as a f**king kitten,"

When asked about Biebs, Shazza told the website: "I feel really bad for him. There's this little kid with a huge dream, he's cute, girls love him, and he wants to be a mean boy, and he's about as mean as a f**king kitten, and he's trying to act out.

"It's like p*ssing in a bucket. It's like, "Oh, we're the bad boys!" F**k off! You don't know what bad is. And I think that he's lost, I really do. I think he doesn't realise he's white and not black, that's a huge problem."

She went on: "And, at the point he's at in his career, it's so dangerous because we've seen it all before a million times. Where do you go when you're a child entertainer and then you want to transition to be a man? Very few make it."

Back in October, Mrs. O also slammed Bieber, stating that she didn't think his career would "stand the test of time", with Justin later tweeting that he was "not worried" by her comments.

During her interview with The Daily Beast, Osbourne also criticised rapper Kanye West, claiming: "I have no time for him. He bores me.

Lady GaGa posts naked picture for new single


Lady GaGa has broken her silence on Twitter to share a naked picture of herself with fans.

The pop superstar had refrained from using the social networking site for anything apart from a few retweets since February.

But she has now posted a brief message saying: "1ST SINGLE FROM ARTPOP COMES AUG.19 #24DAYS"

And she also posted a link to an image of herself sitting naked apart from her tattoo and an ornate pair of specs - perched on an uncomfortable-looking armchair made from electronic circuit boards.

The image could be the promo artwork for her next single, which is expected to be called Applause.

We revealed on Thursday that GaGa will be making her stage comeback at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards - which are being held on 25 August in Brooklyn, NYC.

Mr Carters surprise for Mrs Carter

Jay-Z-kisses-Beyonce-2095844
Beyoncé was treated to a surprise appearance by hubby Jay-Z during her performance in Philadelphia last night!
According to Phillymag.com, the Single Ladies star was performing at Wells Fargo Center on Thursday night when her rapper beau bounded onto the stage.
Jay snuck up behind Bey and surprised her with a quick hug and a kiss before running back into the wings.
The sweet display was caught on camera by fans in the crowd during the 50th stop of Beyoncé's Mrs Carter World Tour. Beyonce seemed happy and shock that he had turned up 







In other Beyonce news we have heard that she is back in the studio recording new songs for her eagerly awaited fifth album, which was due this Summer. Producers including Ne-Yo, The Dream and Diplo have all been asked to submit more songs as she has decided to start a fresh. We find this rather strange as Beyonce is in a league of her own, and should have the confidence to believe in her music and fan-base, but with the likes of Rihanna now out selling most female artist the competition is fierce, so maybe she is aware of the competition.

Frank Ocean has been forced to scrap the rest of his Australian tour after tearing one of his vocal chords.

The thinking about you  singer took to the stage for just one of the set detes  at Melbourne's Festival hall last night (July 25) before cancelling the rest of the dates.

Frank was due to perform a second night in Melbourne, before heading  on to Splendour In The Grass festival in Byron Bay on July 28 and Sydney's Hordern Pavilion on July 29 and 30.

A statement from promoters Live Nation read: "Frank Ocean's remaining Australian dates will not go ahead due to illness.

It concluded: "This makes the completion of his remaining Australian dates impossible."

Frank's dates will not be rearranged due to his hectic schedule, with fans able to get refunds for both gigs in Melbourne and Sydney.

Ocean also hit the news this week for seeming to attack rival Chris Brown on a remix of the Migos track, Versace.

Beyonce's team "album has NOT been pushed back


According to MTV news 

Beyoncé's spokesperson has denied allegations that the star's fifth studio album has been delayed.

The Hollywood Reporter had claimed that Queen B scrapped 50 songs for her next record, pushing back the release from spring to November.

The story went on to add that even that date was looking increasingly unlikely as the Love On Top singer is currently on her Mrs Carter Show world tour.

Bey's rep has since rubbished the reports in a statement to the Huffington Post, insisting that the album release date will be confirmed in due course, adding that the Destiny's Child star is recording music while on the road.

Ne-Yo - who has worked with the star on her forthcoming release - recently spoke about Beyoncé's album, saying: "They're still trying to figure out what they want that to be, which I'm not mad at.

"Beyoncé's the kind of artist where you're not gonna see it till it's right. And her fans - they love her so they'll be patient."

I would be lying if I said I didn't want the new album to come out as soon as possible but I understand these things take time, we already know that Bey likes her work to be perfect.

Drake and J. Cole " sorry for offensive lyrics"



Hip hop stars Drake and J. Cole have apologised for using offensive lyrics about autism in a new track, deciding to remove the lines altogether.

J. Cole was quick to apologise for the lyrics in Jodeci Freestyle, a song which had caused outrage and resulted in the Anti-Bullying Alliance launching a petition against him.

This week he wrote on his DreamVillain blog: "To the parents who are fighting through the frustrations that must come with raising a child with severe autism, finding strength and patience that they never knew they had; to the college student with Asperger's syndrome; to all those overcoming autism."

"You deserve medals, not disrespect. I hope you accept my sincere apology."

Drake has since posted a similar apology on his own blog, which reads:

"J.Cole wrote a beautiful and moving apology to individuals and families affected by autism who were understandably hurt by a verse in 'Jodeci Freestyle.' I share responsibility and offer my sincerest apologies for the pain this has caused.

"Individuals with autism have brilliant and creative minds, and their gifts should not be disparaged or discounted. This was a learning lesson for both of us, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to try to right this wrong."

Drake ended the post by saying: "J. Cole and I believe that it is the right, responsible, and respectful decision to remove the lyric from the song."

Chris Brown has plead's 'not guilty' in his hit-and-run case.



According to MTV news 

Chris Brown has pleaded 'not guilty' in his hit-and-run case.

The Don't Think They Know singer is accused of colliding with another vehicle, with the driver claiming that Breezy handed her over false information before leaving the scene of the accident.

Brown has vehemently denied her claims, insisting he did not leave the incident without exchanging contact information.

Following the episode, it was later reported that the 24-year old had his probation revoked in relation to his 2009 assault on Rihanna, and could face up to four years in jail.

TMZ has now claimed that Chris - who is currently free on his own recognisance - has until August 6 to surrender himself to get booked for the alleged crime.

The LA Times has since confirmed that prosecutors have dismissed two misdemeanour charges against Brown in the case.

A spokesman for the LA city attorney's office has announced that the driving without a licence charge has been dropped because the Turn Up The Music star produced a licence from his home state of Virginia.

Charges suggesting he was driving without insurance have also been axed as Chris was able to prove he had the correct documents.

However, Breezy is not off the hook yet and will still face a single allegation of hit-and-run, and is due in court on August 15. Chris will also face a separate probation violation hearing in the same month.

Rihanna gets emotional on stage

Rihanna is currently on her Diamonds World tour which a few days ago reached the french city of Lile where the she broke down after seeing a fan also get emotional towards the end of her concert.

Take a look at the touching footage and the lovely note she wrote to the girl who sparked the tears… I think its cute of RiRi to get upset on stage and show her fans her softer side.

Chris Brown has confirmed he's single following his split from Rihanna.

The Fine China singer admitted to the website: "[Fans have] seen me on and off again with different girls, you know who they are, but right now, as a 24 year-old man, I just choose to be single.

When asked about his famous exes, the 24-year old said: "I'm still good friends with them. [Now] it's just me being focused with my music and doing this stuff. Right now, I'm in my prime."

Jay-Z and Beyoncé attend justice for Trayvon Martin rally .


Jay-Z and Beyoncé have attended a rally seeking justice for Trayvon Martin in New York.

The rapper and R&B star lent their support to the event - one of a string of protests held across the US a week after George Zimmerman, 29, was cleared of murdering 17-year-old Martin.

Neighbourhood watch volunteer Zimmerman shot Martin dead in Florida in February last year - and the jury agreed that he was acting in self-defence because he felt threatened.

Civil rights activist the Reverend Al Sharpton - who posted a picture of himself with Jay-Z, Beyoncé and Travon's mother Sybrina Fulton on Twitter - is now calling for an urgent review of Florida's controversial "stand your ground" law, under which Zimmerman was cleared.

Crowds at the NYC rally reportedly praised Jay and Bey for showing up, with Digital Spy reporting shouts of "Thank you, Jay!" and "no concerts in Florida".

Rainy Milo realises new track

The talented London artist Rainy Milo has released the visuals to the soulful ‘Deal Me Briefly‘ and in a recent interview she revealed that details about the track which you can view below.

is a reference to people who—when they’re with you or talking to you—rush through the conversation and then they’re gone. It’s written from the place of how somebody feels when somebody is kind of rushing being friends with them or being in a relationship with them. Just how unfair it feels to be dealt with so quickly.
Rainy is performing for the first time this year at the Lovebox festival on Saturday so make sure you check her out, we think a lot of this girl, she can sing her ass of!

Jay-Z changes name?


According to reports 
Jay-Z is said to have officially changed his name to er, Jay Z!

The Holy Grail rapper's label Roc Nation reportedly informed Billboard editor Joe Levy that Hov has dropped the hyphen from his name..

Taking to Twitter, Levy wrote: "Breaking: Jay Z has dropped the hyphen from his name, according to his label. I am not kidding. (Wish I was.) Copy editors: take note."

His followers then suggested that Jigga had made the move a few years ago, to which he replied: "Didn't take, though. The hyphen is strong."

Levy continued: "Didn't take anywhere. NYT, all media, fans. Or the cover of [Blueprint III], for that matter. iTunes credits 'JAY Z'; cover says 'JAY-Z'."

Jigga also hit the headlines this week after visiting the real life Magna Carta following the success of his 12th studio LP, with its title being inspired by the medieval document.

If so do you like the new name?

Will.I.Am"I want Cheryl Cole to replace Jessie J on The Voice"



Will.I.Am has revealed he would like good pal Cheryl Cole to replace Jessie J on The Voice.

After the Wild singer and Danny O'Donoghue made it public that they will no longer be a part of the show, the Black Eyed Peas star has revealed he's keen for the beautiful Chezza to put her sacking from The X Factor USA behind her and get back on the talent show bandwagon .

Speaking to WIRED magazine, the Crazy kids rapper said: "Cheryl has been very successful on music talent shows in the past.

"She is great with the contestants and really gives everything to them. But also the audience loves her, which is so important on these shows, you need to be likeable."

He  went on to say: "She has been concentrating on other things, but I could see her getting back into a talent show for sure. She would have offers from The UK and The US - but she would be perfect for The Voice.

"I love working with her, so it would be a pleasure for me. She is such a perfectionist in everything she does, so we will just have to see what happens."

Despite wanting Cheryl to take her place on the BBC show's famous red chairs, Will himself refused to confirm whether he'd be back on the show, coyly saying: "I did it the second year and it was a great experience."

It seems as if Cheryl is in high demand as X Factor judge Gary Barlow has also claimed he would love to have the Geordie join him at this year's Judges' Houses stage again.

The Take That star told Huffington Post: "I love Cheryl, love Cheryl.I always ask her to do things, we did the Jubilee together. So I would have her back in a heartbeat."

I think it would be fantastic the star back on our TV screens again, I feel that it would be good to see what she has  to offer. 

What do you you guys think?

Beyonce "Put that damm camera down"


According to reports
Beyoncé gave a fan a ticking off during one of her Mrs. Carter Show world tour dates in the US after she clocked a man filming her set.

Video footage has emerged of Queen B's gig in Atlanta, where the star is seen stopping her performance of Irreplaceable to confront the fan.

After encouraging crowd members to sing the lyrics "To the left, To the left" with her, she was left unimpressed by the man after catching him filming her on his smartphone.

Bey told him: "You can't even sing because you're too busy taping. I'm right in your face, baby. You gotta seize this moment. Put that damn camera down!"

The man then put his phone away and then sung the famous line, leaving the Destiny's Child star to exclaim: "Yes, that's much better."

If this true it is not the first time Bey has said this to a fan she said the same thing to someone at a London show, I think it is fantastic that the star wants the fans to enjoy the show and join in with the singing. 


Beyonce preforms bow down for the first time

Beyonce has updated the video on her website’s home page and we must say she looks fantastic as always  in the short clip! A fan has decided to edit it over the track ‘Bow Down’ and looks like we have a match! It is not yet official whether this is a teaser for the actual video but either way we can’t help but keep on pressing the replay button, so hopefully a long version will be released soon!

If any of you red my review of the song that was dropped earlier this year will know that I have supported  this track from day one, I love that Beyonce is playing with new styles of music.Please realise a full version Bey!!     



Here is also the original slowed down version without the relayed sound…

Fans attending the Mrs Carter concert in hometown Houston on Monday were treated to a very special performance for the first time of ‘Bow Down‘. There is no doubt that Beyonce is an incredible artist that doesn’t come along very often!


Is Rita Ora hoping to land a collaboration with Justin Timberlake?



According to MTV News
Rita Ora is allegedly hoping to land a collaboration with Justin Timberlake after hitting it off with his wife Jessica Biel.

Ora and Biel were both spotted watching JT in action at the Yahoo! Wireless Festival on Friday (July 12), with The Sun claiming that a track with the Tunnel Vision hitmaker could now be on the cards.

A source told the newspaper: "Rita and Jessica really hit it off because they were both standing looking adoringly at Justin as he played his set.

"Jessica saw how enamoured Rita was with her husband's performance and got chatting to her."

They added: "She put a word in with Justin afterwards and now Rita and he could be working together very soon."

Ora's boss Jay-Z has already worked with JT on tracks Suit & Tie and Holy Grail, as well as teaming up for their Legends Of The Summer tour, so we are pretty sure he could also put in a good word for Rita.

Despite Chris Brown’s album release date has changed we still get to hear some more new music from the project. The latest single that has hit the net is a touching love song ‘Can’t Say No‘ and it sounds like it may be about Rihanna but for all we know it could be about Karrueche too. Have a listen for yourself…

 I really like this song and as more potable tracks for this album are relished I am enjoying watching how Chris is developing as an artist, I cannot wait to hear the finished album.

Nicole Scherzinger left unimpressed after single joke


Nicole Scherzinger was reportedly left unamused at The X Factor auditions in London on Monday (15 July).

According to The Sun, the ex-Pussycat Doll was straight-faced after a warm-up man for the ITV show made a reference to her newly-single status.

Scherzy, who recently broke up with F1 driver Lewis Hamilton after five years together, was said to be "visibly unimpressed" when Ian Royce told the Wembley arena audience: "Nicole's single."

Instead of leaving it there, Royce is reported to have tried flirting with the judge during a break in filming, adding: "I haven't got a race car but I'm single too."

An onlooker told the paper: "Nicole didn't look happy. It seemed too soon for jokes."

Beyonce and blue on holiday

Rarely does a day go by in the life of Queen Bey without a bit of spectacle as she shared a series of fun holiday snaps on her Instagram and Tumblr site.

The 31-year-old's candid photos show the world-famous singer as she slips in a few days off on her sold-out tour, which is currently making it's way through the tropics of Florida and Georgia.

In the set we get a glimpse of her 19-month-old Blue Ivy as the pair lay idly on a white sand beach.

Another poignant silhouette pairs the Love on Top singer with her curly haired daughter as they peer out into a distant sunset.

The Sasha Fierce pop star also channels her inner 70s hippie as she steps out in a gold and black paisley swimsuit, her long blonde hair kept in loose curls and a pink floral headband.

And what holiday slide show would be complete without a picture of her delicious lunch?

The Crazy in Love songstress made sure she snuck in a filtered portrait of a particularly healthy meal comprised of a chicken and vegetable stir fry and a blend of spicy chopped peppers.

And early on Saturday she posted a tribute to Malala Yousafzai, sharing a bare-faced snap on her Instagram holding a special birthday note for the teenage activist.

Beyonce and her rapper husband have, for the most part, kept public appearances with their daughter to a minimum since her birth in January 2012.

And the doting mother is wildly protective of her private life, releasing just a few glimpses into her life through her Tumblr and Instagram feeds.

In rare move Beyonce allowed Vogue a behind-the-scenes look in her latest photo shoot, showing the singer peeking into Blue Ivy's baby seat, as the toddler adorably pokes her on the nose.

The postings come as the superstar is travelling the United States on the U.S. leg of her Mrs. Carter World Tour, which finishes up in New York on August 3.

The show -- which is in Jay-Z's home town of Brooklyn -- will be at the newly built Barclay's Center, which Jay-Z owns a share of and where the couple rent out a basement suite for $1million per year.

Baby Blue has collected a wild set of stamps on her passport as she joined her mother on tour, criss-crossing the globe including stops in Serbia, Germany, Italy, Poland and the UK.

The 16-time Grammy winner will presumably be settling down after the tour's end as she puts the finishing touches on her upcoming fifth album. 

Beyonce has been hard at work since last summer, collaborating with artists and producers such as OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder, Sia, Duplo, Ne-Yo, The-Dream and Greg Kurstin.

Several songs have been leaked -- and quickly taken off-line -- including tracks 'Grown Woman' and 'Standing in the Sun.'

Rumours have been swirling as to when her next project will be delivered to fans -- with the latest word that it should be out in November.
