Lily Allen Fights for Artists’ Rights
Posted in Blog, Lily Allen on the September 24, 2009
Lily Allen has started her own blog tackling the topic of digital music piracy. The singer has written letters to many of her comrades requesting them to voice their opinions on music file sharing. She sent a lengthy letter to several artists, some of which, including James Blunt, Keane’s Tim Oxley and Muse’s Bill Bellamy, have written her back. Here’s part of her letter: “I feel really strongly about file sharing. I see it having a damaging effect on British music – especially on emerging artists. Overall the internet’s had a great effect on music and been crucial in helping people like me break through. But file sharing is different to legal streaming or making some music available as promotion. File sharing eats away at opportunity for new artists: by cutting off income at the most crucial, cash-strapped point in their careers and by limiting A&R’s ability to sign new acts outside of the mainstream.”
Kanye’s Ghost
Posted in Blog, Kanye West, Rapper on the July 20, 2008
Kanye West was recently accused of hiring a ghost writer to post blog entries for him on his official blog. The accuser claims “I know you don’t really believe Kanye West updates his blog several times a day while chasing skirts and displaying his astounding ignorance all over the world? Hopefully you’re not that naive. Sure Kanye wrote that one outburst on his blog, but no, he doesn’t find all those neat gadgets or post those videos and photos from the road. Someone else does all that for him.” The rapper retaliated with a blog of his own and cheekily posted pictures of himself looking at the very blog entry he posted.
Paramore Singer Sold Out
Posted in Blog, Paramore on the June 10, 2008
The ex-stepfather of Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams is one big douche bag. I guess he’s bitter over missing the money ship that his former stepdaughter is now bringing in so he’s trying to get even just a piece of it by selling some of her personal items on eBay. Hayley recently wrote in her blog about it saying “i saw that post someone made about the “handwritten book” on ebay. yes, it’s mine… i’m actually posting about the seller of this item. it happens to be my ex-stepfather. who is… well… insane, hence the reason he is my EX-stepfather… don’t buy it. i’m gonna buy it. hahaha.†There’s some bitterness on her part too as she not so subtly gave out his number and said for us to give him hell.
John Mayer Clears Up the Rumors
Posted in Blog, FUNNY, John Mayer on the March 25, 2008
John Mayer sure loves to blog about the most random of things. Just recently, the musician used his official website to address a little news bit from the New York Post. The paper wrote that “We Hear…..that John Mayer is so self-obsessed, he Googles himself every morning, and has been known to respond to online rumors just to clear the air.” It is a pretty well known fact. Heck, he even responds to posts regarding him being a big douche bag. Not to be outdone by the Post, John jokingly responded with “This is, quite simply, untrue.” If you think about it, it’s quite funny – in an ironic way.
Rihanna Loves Milk
Posted in Blog, MP3, Pop Music, Rihanna on the February 4, 2008
Rihanna is the latest celebrity to sport the milk mustache and asks the question of ‘got milk?’. The Barbados singer encourages teens to drink 3 glasses of low fat or fat free milk everyday and to eat right to stay lean and healthy. Her ad will officially debut on February 5 in Teen Vogue. The ad copy reads: “Drink it in. Pop star? Not exactly. Milk is more my move. Some studies suggest that teens who choose milk instead of sugary drinks tend to be leaner and the protein helps build muscle. So shut up and drink.”

Stingy Spice
Posted in Blog, Concert, Music, Music Bands, Music People, Scandal, Singers, Spice Girls, Tickets Sale on the December 3, 2007
Well it seems that the genius behind the Spice Girls; multi millionaire Simon Fuller, is a penny pinching scrooge; despite his millions. He has told the girls that there will be absolutely NO freebies, not for friends or anyone else; meaning the girls’ A-list chums such as Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will have to pay if they want to support them in their forthcoming comeback tour.
However, I don’t know about anyone else but I don’t really sympathise. Tom and Katie are loaded; and if you have money then you should pay just like everyone else. That’s why Simon is a huge success and has more money than all five spices put together. And I doubt the girls will complain about the extra cash from ticket sales.
Sorry guys no free ticket giveaways. Though you can win Mel B’s eyelashes through a weird competition on the girls’ website…
