An “emotionally thin” Lady Gaga wears her heart on her sleeve for her art

By emilyborrett on August 10th, 2011

Our favourite bonkers hitmaker, Lady Gaga, has described herself as “emotionally thin” – for anyone as bemused as we are by that phrase, it just means vulnerable, but Gaga doesn’t like that word as it implies that she just cries all the time.

When asked in an interview what she’s come to learn about herself recently, she replied: “I learned that to be a great artist, you must be emotionally very thin. Your tears and anger and your happiness must be just under the surface of your first layer of skin. I like to say ‘emotionally thin’ because it’s much more dramatic. Vulnerable to me implies only tears.”

We really like a celebrity that we can relate to, and that isn’t afraid to wear her (mental and technicoloured) heart on her sleeve. Take care, Gaga. We love you!

Jennifer Lopez’s beauty routine has suffered since she became a mother.

By Andrea Petrou on April 5th, 2011

Jennifer Lopez’s beauty routine has suffered since she became a mother.

The singer-and-actress – who has three-year-old twins Max and Emme with husband Marc Anthony – revealed she never gets a minute to herself anymore and barely even has time to have a bath alone without the kids wanting her attention.

She told Britain’s HELLO! magazine: “It can be hard. Sometimes it’s like literally I’m taking a bath and Max is off with the clothes and in the tub with me or in the shower. You don’t have a minute by yourself. Go to the bathroom? Baby standing right there. I’m like ‘Go outside.’ Emme’s like, ‘No way’. So yeah it’s tough.”

Jennifer has previously admitted her famously toned stomach is proving difficult to maintain since having children.

She explained: “I’ve always been athletic and really enjoyed that. And I’ve never been a big eater.

“But since I had the babies, it’s been harder. Your body does change. Not too drastically, but I definitely have to work harder and watch what I eat more.

“I’ve never had to work on my stomach before – it was like, concave, I was a lucky person – but since the babies, I do. I really have to work on it.”

V Festival Special: Florence Welch wows with her range of outfits

By admin on August 23rd, 2010

Florence Welch showed she had the style love this weekend at V Festival rocking up on stage at both festival sites in a range of outfits.

At the Hylands site in Chelmsford the singer opted for a short black v-neck dress embellished with gold sequins at the bottom. She paired this up with sheer leggings and heels.

The Florence and the Machines singer, however, went for something more romantic for the Weston Park stage in Staffordshire opting for a sheer black dress, complete with sheer billowing sleeves. She finished off the mood with a bunch of flowers on the set.

Britney Spears had a first go with Lady Gaga’s Telephone song

By Andrea Petrou on May 5th, 2010

It seems Lady Gaga‘s music is not to everyone’s taste, especially if you’re a fellow songstress.
The story circulating the world wide web at the moment is that Miss G’s famous Telephone song was actually written for none other than Britney Spears.

The demo of Brits singing the well known tune was leaked on YouTube after the troubled singer decided to turn it down for her Circus album.

It is thought the demo was leaked by a source within Britney’s record company, but it doesn’t seem we’ll be hearing another recorded version of it.

Music producer Rodney Darkchild Jerkins Tweeted about the incident, where he wrote: “Not sure who leaked Britney Telephone.

“Just listened and yes it’s the demo, not a mixed version. I will not leak a mixed version. I am respecting Britney and Jive wishes,” he added.

However every cloud has a silver lining and had Brits taken on the song there would have been any funky outrageous fashion, and no Lady Gaga and Beyonce collaboration.

Listen to the tune below and let us know who you think sang it best.

Lady Gaga claims she was bullied at school and Rihanna has a go at the Telephone stars “blatant” product placement

Lady Gaga introduces pants as outerwear

This morning we told you Rihanna had spoken about her “body issues” and now it seems Lady Gaga wants our sympathy vote too.

The singer, who yesterday claimed she suffered from severe bouts of insomnia, has spoken out about her school days claiming she was bullied.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan she said she struggled to fit in at her all girls school in New York.

“I had a very big nose, very curly brown hair and I was overweight. I got made fun of,” she said.

We know who’s laughing at those bullies now Ms Gaga.

However, it seems we’re not the only ones pitting Ms G and Rihanna against each other.

The Umbrella star has started her own war of words with the kooky singer hinting Ms G “sold out” by using blatant product placements in her Telephone video.

Rihanna said: “I don’t like things to be so commercial. I hate product placement in my videos. Videos should just tell the story of the song. With product placement, it becomes this big ad campaign. I just don’t like that. Sometimes we have to (use products in music videos), for whatever political reason, but it’s never my first choice.”

Could this be the beginning of a full blown fight between two of the hottest stars? Watch this space.

By Kimberley Foster on July 6th, 2009

Lots of bloggers are talking about Leighton Meester’s new single, Body Control today. The Gossip Girl starlet has been working on her début album of what she calls “sexual electro-pop,” and now a track believed to be on that album has found its way onto YouTube. It’s a little too early for me to make my mind up about it, but Leighton certainly has the pipes to carve a music career for herself. Don’t believe me?
