Miley Cyrus Announces New Album ‘Plastic Hearts,’ Plus Release Date
Fans can pre-order Plastic Hearts here, and receive three instant grat tracks, including “Midnight Sky,” and her live covers of Blondie’s “Heart of Glass” and The Cranberries’ “Zombie.” Miley shared a hand-written message to her fans, which explains the album’s long, painful gestation. “I began this album over 2 years ago. Thought I had it all figured out. Not just the record – its songs/sounds but my whole fucking life. No one checks an ego like life itself,” she writes. “Just when I thought the body of work was finished it was all erased. Including most of the music’s relevance. Because everything had changed.” Cyrus also unveiled the cover art, which was shot by iconic Rock & Rol...
The Weeknd Literally Loses His Head in New Video for “Too Late”: Watch
The Weeknd has literally lost his head in the gory new music video for the After Hours cut “Too Late”. As it happens, the artist born Abel Tesfaye isn’t the only character in “Too Late” who suffers from neck-connectivity issues. Then there are the female protagonists — err, antagonists? — who begin the video driving home from a rousing session of plastic surgery. They spend all their time wearing elaborate face bandages (and little else) so it’s almost as if they, too, are missing their craniums. The plot developments are disturbingly raunchy, extremely graphic, and almost certainly NSFW. Altogether, watching “Too Late” is like an R&B twist on Washington Irving; call it The Headless Hoes, Man. The video was directed by Cliqua, and you can check it out below. The Weeknd c...
Buzz, Buzz, Lily Allen Launches Her Own Sex Toy
With the live music industry shuttered fo the foreseeable future, artists are relying more than ever on the revenue of merch. In addition to your standard T-shirts and hoodies, we’ve seen some artists get creative with their own lines of CBD products (Sigur Rós), body pillows (Travis Scott), and yes, even Crocs (Post Malone). Lily Allen, too, has been thinking outside of the box merchandise-wise by thinking more about her bedroom activities: the London musician has just launched her own sex toy. A collaboration with German company Womanizer, the sex toy is a fancy pink vibrator called Liberty. Along with guaranteeing good ol’ pleasure, as its name suggests, the product is also meant to break down the societal barriers surrounding the subjects of female masturbation and sex positi...
Listen to a Snippet of Ariana Grande’s ‘Positions’
It’s not too long now. Ariana Grande has been teasing her upcoming single “Positions” for the past week and after giving a glimpse at the artwork earlier on Wednesday, she dropped a snippet of the alluring track a short time later. The 15-second sneak doesn’t give a deep glimpse of the song, but we do hear Ari emoting wordlessly while her vocals emerge from a murky space as the title scurries across the screen. The tease comes along with the by-now-familiar black-and-white image of the singer’s body in a long-sleeved crop top and matching skirt, with her mouth just barely visible and right arm crossed over her exposed stomach. The tune drops at midnight on Thursday (Oct. 22) and is the first taste of Grande’s upcoming sixth studio album. “...

Jamie Lynn Spears on Teen Pregnancy, Trying Out For ‘Twilight’ While Expecting: ‘They Had to Force Me’
Mother Lynn Spears said her youngest came into the world “unexpectedly, yet so adored by all the moment she arrived,” describing how Jamie Lynn said yes to everything social as a kid, from basketball to softball, cheerleading and gymnastics. She did it all while watching older sister Britney become the biggest pop star in the world, focusing in on acting to differentiate herself from her famous sibling. “I’m sure subconsciously, there was maybe some form of that,” Jamie Lynn said of taking a different path than Britney. “But for me, I loved making up characters.” After getting her first acting job at 9, Jamie Lynn said she wasn’t thinking about a long-term career plan, figuring she could try the pop thing later on. And she did try, recalling a meeting with a f...
