TAYLOR SWIFT FANS THINK SHE WILL MAKE A MERMAID-THEMED ALBUM NEXT – (01/04/2019)

Thanks to the costume that Taylor Swift wore to her New Years Eve party, fans are beginning to speculate about the theme of the singer’s next album.

After it was revealed that Swift dressed up as Ariel from Disney’s The Little Mermaid for an end-of-the-year party at which guests were supposed to come as their childhood heroes, some Swifties took to Twitter to share their thoughts on why Tay’s seventh album will be mermaid-inspired.

Most of the theories centered around two other clothing items that Swift wore in the past year or so that also featured mermaids: a camo jacket she rocked in the November 2017 magazine that was released alongside physical copies of Reputation and a t-shirt she can be seen sporting in the blooper reel of her Reputation stadium tour Netflix special.

However, some supporters seem convinced that Swift has also dropped other clues. “The little mermaid came out in 1989 Taylor was born in 1989 One of her most successful albums is 1989 SHOOK,” tweeted one fan account.

Meanwhile, Taylor’s app, The Swift Life, has announced it’s coming to an end. A message on the app’s Twitter page confirmed that the app will be shutting down on February 1st, after first launching to coincide with her Reputation album in 2017.

“As the ‘Reputation’ era comes to an end, our time on The Swift Life will be ending too,” the message read. “We would like to thank all the dedicated fans who downloaded The Swift Life, engaged with this amazing community and created gorgeous pieces of content for others to enjoy,” the statement concluded.

MADONNA RESPONDS TO BODY-SHAMERS WHO QUESTIONED IF SHE GOT ‘BUTT IMPLANTS’ – (01/04/2019)

Madonna is responding to speculation surrounding her body after a new photo went viral this week.

The 60-year-old singer appeared to address critics on Instagram Thursday with a close-up selfie from New Year’s Day: “Desperately seeking no ones approval…and entitled to free agency over my body like everyone else!”

“Thank you 2019! Its Going to Be an amazing Year,” she continued, adding the hashtags #nofear and #nodiscrimination, which appear to be aimed at those who attempted to body-shame her derriere.

Following a New Year’s performance just after midnight at New York’s Stonewall Inn, users on Twitter began attacking the  singer, whose backside appeared curvier than usual during the set.

Many speculated the songstress got butt implants while others argued she was wearing some sort of padding under her pants. One user joked that she was “modeling adult diapers now.”

Even many defending Madonna couldn’t help but weigh in on her new look. “If someone wants surgery, they can do it, their body their choice,” another person wrote. “But MANNNNN, beauty standards today somehow made Madonna get a botched butt surgery….yikes.”

Madonna surprised fans at Stonewall by performing her 1989 hit “Like a Prayer” and Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” She was joined by her 13-year-old son, David Banda, who played guitar.

Before performing, the singer gave a speech about starting the New Year with kindness and inclusion.

KIM KARDASHIAN AND KANYE WEST ARE EXPECTING BABY NO. 4 – (01/03/2019)

Baby No. 4 on board! In a surprise news flash, news broke that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are expecting their fourth child via surrogate. Multiple publications, including People, Us Weekly and E! confirmed the news. The baby-to-be will join Chicago, 1 this month, Saint, 3, and North, 5. 

The announcement comes as a surprise because as recently as August, the 38-year-old mom was reportedly not “in a huge rush” for another baby, despite the 41-year-old rapper’s desire for more. 

“But I’ve been really open about it and talked about it on our show, so I don’t know,” the KKW Beauty guru told E! in August. “We start filming season 16 next week, so if I think about it more and it’s gonna happen, you’ll definitely see it on the show. But as of now, no.”

Over on Twitter, after fans got over the shock, they started weighing in with name recommendations. Mercury, South, East and West are among the most-frequently floated. Haters were quick to posit that Drake (who Kanye is feuding with) is “probably” the father, and that they only decided on a fourth child because ratings are down on KUWTK.

After having two rough pregnancies with North and Saint, she opted for surrogacy following a doctor’s recommendation. Despite how challenging it was for her to give up control over the pregnancy, Kim ultimately has said having a surrogate “is the best decision I ever made.”

She is reportedly using the same surrogate she used with Chicago. An insider tells Us Weekly that the baby is due in May. Us Weekly is also reporting the baby is male. 

KANYE WEST ISN’T PERFORMING AT COACHELLA – (01/03/2019)

Kanye West won’t be performing at Coachella this year. According to TMZ, Ye was in talks to headline the festival in April, however due to negotiations over his stage setup, it won’t be happening. Kanye informed festival organizer Goldenvice that he would not perform on a traditional 60×40 foot stage because it is “artistically limiting.”

An insider close to Kanye told TMZ, “These 40×60 stages are so archaic. It’s the same type of stage on which Shakespeare’s works were performed hundreds of years ago.” 

Goldenvoice would reportedly not let Kanye alter or remove his set, so they mutually agreed to call off his performance. 

In other news, Childish Gambino, Ariana Grande and Tame Impala will be heading Coachella this year.

ARIANA GRANDE TO HEADLINE COACHELLA 2019 – (01/03/2019)

Coachella announced its 2019 lineup late Wednesday, revealing that Ariana Grande will headline the festival’s Sunday dates. Childish Gambino will also headline, as will Tame Impala.

Rihanna and Kanye West, both previously rumored to be considered for the headlining slots, are not performing.

Other confirmed performers for this year’s lineup include Billie Eilish, J-pop group Perfume, Solange, The 1975, Janelle Monae, Bad Bunny, K-pop stars BLACKPINK, Khalid, Zedd and more.

The show will run for two weekends starting first on April 12-14 and again on April 19-21. Tickets go on sale January 4th.

ARIANA GRANDE SAYS SHE’S NOT GOING TO DATE ANYONE IN 2019 & ‘PROBABLY’ BEYOND: Ariana Grande is making a resolution about her love life in 2019 and perhaps even beyond that. It all started when the 25-year-old singer responded to a headline that read, “Who Is Ariana Grande Dating NOW?!” Ariana initially tweeted, “can they tell me too?” Then, a fan tweeted, “spoiler. it’s me!” Ariana then took to Twitter to actually clarify that she’s not planning on dating anyone in 2019 or “probably” the rest of her life “Spoiler for the rest of this year / probably my life: it’s no one,” Grande tweeted, setting the record straight. “Please refer back to this tweet for further questions.” Everyone got that? Great.”

DEMI LOVATO CONFIRMS HENRY LEVY RELATIONSHIP RUMORS – (01/03/2019)

Demi Lovato and Henry Levy are Instagram official. The singer posted a video on her Instagram Story of herself kissing Henry Levy – her sober companion – on a private jet.

Lovato hasn’t been active on social media following her overdose, though she has occasionally returned to express her gratitude to fans following her near death experience. She also recently shared a post slamming reports speculating about her health.

“I love my fans, and hate tabloids. Don’t believe what you read,” she wrote. “People will literally make up stuff to sell a story. Sickening. If I feel like the world needs to know something, I will tell them MYSELF. Otherwise people stop writing about my recovery, because it’s no one’s business but mine. I am sober and grateful to be alive and taking care of ME.”

Video confirmation of the 26-year-old’s relationship with the fashion designer comes after a source told ET Online the pair are “casually dating.”

They first met a few years ago in rehab. Lovato is currently focused on her recovery following an apparent overdose, and has been leaning on Levy.

ARIANA GRANDE TURNS DOWN U.K.’S OFFER OF A DAMEHOOD OUT OF RESPECT FOR MANCHESTER VICTIMS – (01/02/2019)

Ariana Grande has reportedly turned down the offer of a Damehood from The Queen of England in a bid to respect the hundreds of fans who were affected by the Manchester Arena bomb attack.

The British tabloid The Sun claims that Ariana was offered the honorary title out of appreciation for her One Love Manchester concert, which she organized to raise money for the victims of the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing. However, she reportedly turned down the offer, because she felt it might be insensitive to the families of the victims.

A source tells the paper, “Ariana was flattered but said it was too soon. She explained she was still grieving. So were scores of families. She feared some affected might see it as insensitive. The committee wrote to her but she politely said no.”

Another source added, “She was deeply moved and honored. She didn’t decline it as such but explained it was not the right time to accept.”

The mother of one of the victims tells The Sun, “It’s a lovely gesture. She’s right – maybe it is a bit too soon. She’s lovely and would never do anything to hurt any of us.”

Ariana did, however, accept honorary citizenship to the city of Manchester.

JUSTIN BIEBER APOLOGIZES AFTER DISSING JOJO SIWA’S CUSTOM CAR – (01/02/2019)

Justin Bieber has apologized to YouTube/Nickelodeon star JoJo Siwa after dissing a car she received from West Coast Customs as a gift. The BMW is wrapped with rainbow colors, has her name and face on the hood, and “D.R.E.A.M. The Tour” written on the side, along with a picture of a unicorn.

After West Coast Customs reposted a photo of the car, Justin commented on the photo, writing “Burn it,” repeatedly.

JoJo’s mom responded indignantly, “Burn your own things.”

Then, on Sunday, Justin tweeted JoJo and wrote, “I have nothing against you it was the car and the colors I didn’t like I really hope you didn’t think it was malicious or mean spirited.”

JoJo responded, “it’s all good bro! you can perform at my 16th birthday party and we’ll call it good!”

Then JoJo adopted “Burn it” as her new catchphrase, tweeting it repeatedly.
