Five time Grammy Award winning singer, songwriter, actress and former television personality Christina María Aguilera told a sold out crowd in New Orleans at her Liberation Tour that when she attempted to sing at a bar the night before, she was promptly denied and not given the microphone.
“I go to this bar and there’s like this live band playing, and I was just like with a couple of my dancers. You know, after a minute I was like let me get up on stage and jam with this guy and maybe I’ll sing a song or whatever and have fun. And he would not give me the mic. He’s like a little older, he was not feeling it, he was not going to give up his mic. I was like, Oh, I just wanna come up and then he goes, what are you going to dance for me? And I’m like no! I just want to sing a song with you! And he, I don’t know. So [being here] is very nice, I was just like, I’ll save it for tomorrow. It’s alright, it’s all good.”
Liberation is currently available on iTunes and all streaming services.
In the second episode of Michelle Williams’ new show Chad Loves Michelle on OWN, the couple have an argument that gets heated when Williams brings up race. During a couple’s therapy session, Williams bring up the argument she had with her fiancé Chad Johnson.
“I said something to him along the lines of ‘Well, Chad, because you are not Black you would not understand why I communicate the way I do. Maybe because you didn’t grow up around a lot of Black people.’ So that was very, very offensive to Chad,” Michelle recalled.
Chad was so “offended” and upset that he brought up Michelle’s mental health struggles with depression as a way to retaliate.
Michelle brings this up during the session saying, “And this is not to justify it, but yesterday when we had the disagreement, he said ‘Did you take your meds today?’”
Chad responds by explaining to their counselor Dr. Thema, “I would never go there and I apologize. It was after she said it again [race] and I got mad. And I was like, did you take your meds today? She knows how to cut.”

Their home sat at the end of a cul-de-sac and if their house burnt, it would start a domino effect and take out the neighboring homes.
TMZ spoke to neighbors who are thankful Kim and Kanye took charge and hired a team to fight off the fire and save the neighborhood.

At the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival and Music Festival, famous child Jaden Smith took to the stage to announce that Tyler, the Creator was his boyfriend.
"I just wanna say Tyler, The Creator is the best friend in the world and I love him so fucking much," Smith announced to the crowd. "And I wanna tell you guys something, I want to tell you, Tyler doesn't wanna say, but Tyler's my motherfucking boyfriend! And he's been my motherfucking boyfriend my whole fucking life!"
He later took to twitter seeming to confirm it. Tyler responded in a really ambiguous way that doesn't clarify anything.
* Vanessa Marcil is the mother of Brian Austin Green's oldest son, Kassius (age 16). He shares 3 sons with wife Megan Fox (ages 6, 4 and 2).
* According to Marcil, BAG began fighting for full custody 12 years ago, as well as requesting child support and claiming that she owed him 200k in unpaid loans he had given her through the years.
* She claims she has never requested any child support from Green.
* She says after 8 years of court battles, she won all the cases, with the judge calling Green's lawsuits frivolous. News stories at the time confirmed he lost he civil suit, with the judge questioning why he would wait so long to collect on a loan to Marcil. His rep said the "frivolous" term was Marcil's, not the judge's. Either way - he lost.
* BAG still had 50/50 custody, and Marcil says she has never prevented him from seeing their son.
* She says 5 years ago, BAG and Fox "decided to completely cut Kass out of their lives and his younger brothers’ lives. Kass has never met his youngest brother and is not allowed to know where his bio father, stepmother and three younger brothers live.” She continues "Kass has been truly heartbroken since being cut out of his other families lives with NO explanation."
* BAG posted instagram pics of Kass last year, without referencing this alleged estrangement.
BAG has yet to publicly respond. Honestly, this would be a pretty bold lie to make up, and easily refuted with family pics if false, so I lean toward believing it. Whatever BAG's issues with Marcil, his son should come first. This is pretty awful.
After being lowkey writing for other artists, Teddy Sinclair fka Natalia Kills posted a series of three selfies with the captions "NEW MUSIC SOON" on Instagram.
Whenever that will be, it would be her first music since dropping the highly underrated ep +30mg in 2016. It's unsure if she's continuing under the Cruel Youth band name.
Ashley Tisdale takes us inside her 1930s-era, renovated house. She show us her cozy living room, her husband's Shepard Fairey piece, her “wall of accomplishments” and more.

Lorde recently took to Instagram (despite having been pretty much absent from it for a long time) to address Kanye's glass box stage, which is suspiciously similar to one that Lorde and her dancers have been using since March. She intercalated pictures of her own stage with pictures of Kanye performing with Kid Cudi in his version of it, at Camp Flog Gnaw, on Sunday night. She wrote, "I'm proud of the work I do and it's flattering when other artists feel inspired by it, to the extent that they choose to try it on themselves. But don't steal – not from women or anyone else – not in 2018 or ever."
So touched by all of the celebrities posting pictures of themselves with Stan Lee... no better way to commemorate an absolute legend than putting up a picture of yourself.

Fifteen years ago today on November 12th 2003, Princess of Pop Britney Spears released her fourth studio album, “In The Zone.” The album spawned four singles, “Me Against the Music” featuring the Queen of Pop Madonna, Grammy Award winning single “Toxic,” her signature ballad “Everytime,” and “Outrageous” where Spears injured her knee on the set of the music video (directed by Dave Meyers).
Nothing would ever be quite the same after that injury, but this post isn’t about that downwards spiral. It’s to celebrate Britney Spears at her peak and what fans argue as her best body of work. Let’s take a look back at this iconic and memorable era. These pop girls today could never.
[Fun Facts about In The Zone] • The album was originally titled “Get in the Zone” but was changed to “In The Zone” due to it being AutoZone’s slogan.
• “Outrageous” was supposed to be the first single, but Spears pushed for “Me Against the Music.” Once she got Madonna on the song, her label gave in.
• “(I Got That) Boom Boom” featuring the Ying Yang Twins was supposed to be the second single, but once again Spears fought her label for “Toxic” instead.
• This album marked the first time Britney did not work with long time collaborator and producer Max Martin. She wouldn’t collaborate with him again until 2008 with “Circus.”
• Penelope Magnet and RedZone offered Spears a song called “Pop Culture Whore,” but according to Magnet, she did not like that song and told them it “sucked.”
This is the original album cover for “In The Zone.” It was changed at the last minute to the one above that we all recognize today with Spears face zoomed in closer. Pretty much everything else remained the same.

-Reached out to Los Angeles’ Transcendental Meditation centre March 11th. Said it was urgent.

- He asked questions about enlightenment and finding a “deep happiness”.
- On the last day, 28 March, he broke down in tears and said “ I am in so much pain.”

- Says he was aware of Avicii's anxieties but refuses to label them a problem of mental health. He says that Avicii had a “gift of sensitivity” that enabled him to “connect dots outside of the obvious to the rest of us”. The dark side of this gift, he says, was how Avicii would fixate on things and become “stressed about insignificant things”.
