Did Katy Perry and Russell Brand split up because she's a party girl and he wants to settle down? Or what about the rumor that Russell had some freaky fetishes that turned out to be just too much for Katy to handle? The real reason behind the couple's split might soon be revealed in a song. Katy is said to have begun writing songs about their breakup.
The Sun reports that Katy began to write when her relationship with Russell started to crumble, and friends of the singer claim that she's started to write songs about her heartbreak. A source revealed:
"Ever since problems started to emerge, she penned her thoughts in a diary which she goes back to to draw upon for lyrics for her songs. She has always said that writing is almost a form of therapy for her and she would often be found in her dressing room on tour writing in her diary. She spent a lot of time in Hawaii over Christmas writing lyrics to two of her latest tracks."
It wouldn't be the first time that Katy has written a song about one of her break-ups. The song "Circle The Drain" from her hit album Teenage Dream documented the reason behind her split with Gym Class Heroes frontman Travie McCoy, blaming his drug use.
Christina Aguilera and Scott Storch, who produced her album "Stripped", had a very public falling out. The two hated eachother, and Xtina even went so far as to write a song all about dissing him on her "Back to Basics" album. But.... apparently they've made up, or have at least decided to call a truce in the name of making money, because Storch is reportedly collaborating with Aguilera on her upcoming album.
He said:
"I'm focusing my energy on Christina Aguilera right now. We did an album once before and it did very well. It's time to do it again!"
Her last record was a bit of a flop. We guess that she really wants another hit record, so she's willing to work with him again to get it.
Adele, the chart-topping British soul singer, has vowed never to "sell out" by signing up for "shameful" endorsement deals. She's sold millions of albums around the globe, but hasn't used her fame to advertise products, and Adele is convince that she has made the right decision.
Adele told Q Magazine:
"I think it's shameful when you sell out. It depends what kind of artist you wanna be but I don't want my name anywhere near another brand. I don't wanna be tainted or haunted."
Another thing that Adele avoids as much as she can is sitting down for hours of interviews and publicity work. She says she doesn't want her fans to get sick of seeing her on magazine covers, adding:
"I don't want to be in everyone's face. I'm a big music fan and I get really p**sed off when it gets like that... and I don't want people to get like that with me."
Adele is also determined to go against the advice of her management team, playing shows for smaller audiences despite the the fortune she has been offered to play at large venues like London's O2 arena, which has a capacity of 18,000. She explains:
Scarlett Johansson should stick to acting because her music is, let's face it, nothing special. Nevertheless, the actress has joined Massive Attack in the studio to produce a track for a new Mexican movie entitled "Days of Grace."
Johansson has recorded her own version of the blues classic Summertime for the film, which premiered at the recent Cannes Film Festival in France.
In 2008 she released a CD of Tom Waits covers, and recently recorded a song for a documentary called "Wretches & Jabbers."
Brandon Flowers must have learned that his chances as musical success were better with The Killers, who have a massive following, than with his solo career. The Killers have announced that they are to make their comeback later this year at the Lollapalooze festival in Chile.
The band went on hiatus at the beginning of 2010. NME reports that they will return at Lollapalooze in April along with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kanye West and 30 Seconds to Mars.
Flowers said that the band will begin work on their fourth studio album following their Chile gig.
Just because Oasis broke up in 2009 doesn't mean gossip followers can't have a feast of some good 'ole sibling rivalry from the Gallagher brothers. Liam Gallagher was furious when he was asked about his brother Noel's forthcoming solo effort and fumed
"I've heard his fucking new record 'cos I fucking sung on half of it," Liam said in an interview with Uncut Magazine. "Fucking nonsense... it's all very hush-hush 'round his camp. I put up with 18 years of that fucker so I'm [not] arsed [with] what he's doing."
He added that he is estranged from his brother who he played in what was once the worlds biggest band.
"I haven't seen him," he said. "I'm not arsed with what he's doing. I'm sure it will all be very civilised and grown-up. His gigs will be like those that you can really stroke your chin at. With four rent-a-Scousers wearing shell suits."
Liam has his own band to worry about as he and the former members of Oasis have formed a group called Beady Eye. The band is set to release their new album next month. It will be interesting to see what Noel has to say about their tunes.
Amy Winehouse made a triumphant return to the stage in the Brazilian city of Florianopolis yesterday. The English singer has been out of the limelight and has not recorded a new set of songs since her commercially successful and critically acclaimed album Back to Black. Winehouse won over the crowd early and earned strong ovations throughout the evening. The drug addled celebrity also covered a Green Day song. Here she is in action last night.
Last week, we told you that Miley Cyrus was planning on hitting the road for a tour. Could it be that she will be hitting road with former flame Nick Jonas. Rumors are swirling that the former couple are working together on a duet album with their producer going as far as saying on Twitter:
"Returning to the studio w/ Miley Cyrus & Nick Jonas on 1/14,"
"Can't release any additional information about the project other then it's going to be one of the top albums of 2011," he added. "We're only recording 7-10 records. She has other producers she working with besides myself!"
Amy Winehouse, best known for her drug use the past few years, is set to debut new music in Brazil. The singer, who hasn't released new work since 2006, is playing five gigs in the country that could rake her in about $8 Million dollars. You can buy a lot of crack with that kind of cash.
The demo for Britney Spears' new song "Hold It Against Me" leaked online today. You can listen to it below, but first we'll warn you, it's not actually Britney singing in the song. The song is still in its demo stage right now, so her voice will come later.
The song will reportedly be "adjusted" by Dr. Luk and Max Martin. When it's all ready, Brit will show up at the recording studio, and no matter how bad she sings, autotune will fix that and make her sound like a million bucks.
