The END of the Black Eyed Peas
Posted in Black Eyed Peas, MTV on the October 20, 2008
Billboard is reporting that the Black Eyed Peas will finish recording their fifth album “The E.N.D.” at Metropolis Studios in London. Don’t be misled by the title as it doesn’t mean that the band is breaking up. Will.i.am clears it up by saying “No, no — it stands for ‘The Energy Never Dies.” He goes on to say that he’s tempted to release the album this year because this will be the last year were physical sales are significant. Will.i.am also goes on saying “We’re just finishing the songs and collaborating with the software guys. I’m tired of making songs for the radio and for MTV. You should make songs for where songs are actually being listened and played.”
MIA Rocks the Belly
Posted in MIA, Performance on the October 20, 2008
A couple of fans have commented on ‘Paper Planes’ crooner MIA’s recent performance at the Diesel xXx party in Brooklyn. Apparently, they were shocked when they saw the singer sporting a big baby belly at the party. I guess this is the reason why the hipster music fave announced her so-called retirement this past summer. After her recent engagement, it should be safe to assume just that. It would have been easier to have just come out with the pregnancy instead of the retirement story. But then again, she gets more publicity for the latter. Congratulations go out to her for the engagement and the baby either way.
Katy Perry Opens Up for Blender
Posted in Katy Perry on the October 20, 2008
Katy Perry is featured on the November 2008 cover of Blender. The ‘I Kissed a Girl’ singer talked about growing up with God, her battle with alcohol, dating a thug and the girls of ‘The Hills’. You really get a great perspective of her by the way she talks of her relationship with Gym Class Heroes front man Travis McCoy where she said “He’s thug-nificent. I can’t believe I got a thug to commit!… We weren’t really together, it was casual. But soulless hooking up didn’t seem so hot to me. I always wanted to have a romance. I said “Excuse me, I’ve been coming to a number of your shows in the greater Los Angeles area for quite some time now. I’ve been your Penny Lane long enough, and now I want to be your Grace Kelly.”
