After Mariah Carey boldly made a statement on Columbia Records manipulating some of her older songs to #1 yesterday, radio spins on Mariah's latest single, "Libidinous Dream" had mysteriously start to experience a huge decline for the first time since its debut on the radio charts 2 weeks ago. Weirdly, the lead single from her latest album, "The Stygian Chevalier" has been staying in the iTunes top 5 and has show no signs of going down any time soon. The physical copy demands for "Libidinous Dream" is also high and is always 75% to 90% sold out by the end of the week too. Bloggers from everywhere has started to 'claim' Mariah has stolen unreleased songs from other indie artists and just add it in her latest effort without crediting them, so she don't have to write any of it. Earlier, insider sources also claims that "Columbia" Records CEO is furious of the revelation and vows to bring Mariah down the charts by paying radio stations to not play her latest single, "Libidinous Dream" and will also pay bloggers to talk bad about her latest album, "The Stygian Chevalier". Rumours were flying around like guns and arrows and several media outlets has covered the rumours on their TV channel. Due to the rumours, the hashtag #MCbetrayed was trending worldwide for the past 13 hours after the sharp mysterious decline in radio spins.
A few hours after the mysterious incident was uncovered, Camouflage Records sent an investigation team to investigate the reason behind all this mess and found out that foul play was actually involved. It was revealed that the Columbia Records CEO paid huge amounts of money to all radio stations to decline half the amount of radio spins "Libidinous Dream" is already currently having, Bloggers also reluctantly said that the CEO also paid them USD$10,000 just to spread bad rumours and news across the net. The revelation has caused a huge outrage among the media, critics and the public. "Due to the recent revelation that Columbia Records used foul methods to bring Mariah down from the charts, we will be not supporting any artist stemming from Columbia Records. We will also be banning videos stemming from them too, unless they make an official apology to Mariah and restore the damage made." MTV's spokeman said in a recent interview after the revelation. The Columbia Records staffs also threatened to leave the label if an official apology was not made. "I used to be very happy and honoured to be able to work on a huge label company like Columbia Records, but now I'm very ashamed and I'll definitely leave the label if an official apology is not made because it'll stain my job opportunities in the future if I happen to leave the company after a few years.", said a unsatisfied anonymous staff from Columbia Records.
Important figures like Obama and Oprah Winfrey has stated their support towards Mariah on Twitter and said that Columbia Records CEO's doing was unethical and unacceptable. The public has also made a petition that the CEO of Columbia Records make an official apology in a press conference aired worldwide. The petition has already gotten 521,654 signatures worldwide since it was created yesterday. Columbia Records has not make a statement of the incident as of yet. Due to the controversy surrounding this incident, Mariah's lead single "Libidinous Dream" and album "The Stygian Chevalier" has experienced a huge increase of sales and has risen to the top of the iTunes global charts due to the worldwide support from the media, critics and the public.

Not here for Kesha dragging Bonnie. Ungrateful bitch got given one of the best pop songs in a while aka C'Mon and let it flop. 
...
Let me rush-release a new vid next week because I KNOW that my description for the "Smile" MV will NOT win me anything.

AGUILERA | 'Spitfire' Music Video
"I should've known", Christina starts out by saying. She is in an abandoned warehouse, drinking booze, and looks quite rough. Her stockings are all torn up, visible bruises can be seen. In her hand, Christina holds a pendant - which is engraved with the initials A.B. There is a loaded pistol next to her. Aguilera slowly picks it up, holding it to her temple, and pulls the trigger. As the cut scene fades away, a shot could be heard.
"Six months earlier..." is displayed on the screen.
There are sirens blazing as the camera pans out to reveal Harlem, New York. Aguilera and Azealia are sharing blunts and plot to leave the girl gang in which they joined. Meanwhile, some passing guy spanks Christina on the tush. Azealia lashes out, pulling out a Swiss Army knife. Christina reassures her that it's okay: "Let them have it. Let them eat cake." They are locked in a passionate gaze for a few moments and lean in to kiss. Police cars pull up to the alleyway in which the girls are residing. "Spitfire" kicks in with its reggae-inspired beat, Aguilera and Azealia smile at each other as if they've done this before and are now on the run. Both of them possess outlandish body decorations. "You know, I've always known you to be the wild one ever since we were kids", Azealia says to Christina. "Oh, is that so?" she responds with a sarcastic undertone. "Yep, just like the good ol' days." Azealia cheekily states.
The partners-in-crime are seen breaking into local corner shops, with pieces of glass thrown everywhere. Vibrant splashes of colour fills the screen as Azealia and Christina go paintballing. They're seen in a store that sells old CDs and shoplift a couple of mixtapes. A group of males challenge the two girls to a dance off. After it's over, Azealia and Christina fall into a longing embrace.
They then return to Harlem and run into their ringleader who particularly shows a likening to Azealia.
Christina: "If you touch her one more time, I swear I'll-"
Ringleader: "You'll what?"
Azealia: "Leave her alone, Chrissy!"
Before you know it, Aguilera drop-kicks their ringleader to the floor and throttles her until she ceases to breathe no more.
Christina: "There you go. Come on, Zeali, let's leave this place.. together."
Azealia: "I don't know you anymore."
Christina: "Fine! If that's how you feel then just know that-"
Azealia: "No matter how much of a bitch my sister is - was - it still does not take away from the fact that she is my sister."
Christina: "It must run in your family then."
Azealia: "What does?"
Christina: "How much of a bitch you are."
Azealia: "I'm surprised you ain't my sister instead."
They both part ways, however, as Azealia storms off.. she accidentally drops the pendant (engraved with her initials) Christina gave her. It flashbacks to a time where Azealia and Christina lived in the same neighbourhood together. They are having fun in the local park when a group of girls (including what seems to be Azealia's sister) pick on young Azealia. She falls off the swing and hurts herself quite badly. The girls just laugh it off as young Azealia bursts into tears. Christina, clearly frustrated with seeing her friend in such a way, comforts Azealia and gives Azealia her pendant made of emeralds. "My dad gave this to me for my 8th birthday but I think it looks better on you". Azealia smiles back and thanks Christina. The scene fizzles out. Present-day Christina picks up the pendant, spits on it, and puts it inside her bra. Outside the warehouse, Azealia is seen to be distraught as she raps her verse.
We're now back at the warehouse, six months later. Footsteps can be heard. Christina thrashes the pendant to the ground and says "Why did I come here in the first place? She stood me up again!" The screen flashes back to a Christina in her teens who is seen outside her house. In her hand, she holds a drawing of a man who's labelled as "Dadi". Tears roll down her cheek as teenage Christina burns the drawing with a lighter. It then goes back to the warehouse scene. Christina says once again "I should've known", picks up the gun and is just about to pull the trigger. "It's all my fault." The camera then shakily reveals Azealia entering the warehouse. Azealia then aims for Christina. "You promised me everything. That we would leave this shithole. So let's do it." She shoots Christina. After a short while, Azealia wraps her still-loaded gun in Christina's lifeless hands and pulls the trigger herself. Their bodies lay together on the warehouse floor, with the broken pendant in between them. They both can be heard saying "Shots fired" as the screen is filled with splatters of their blood.

TEMPLE MUSIC VIDEO RELEASED ON VEVO
Video starts off with a shot of an exotic Hindu-style temple on the top of a mountain. The setting is foggy. Laser lights are coming out of the temple. The scene continues with someone covered in a robe. They have super long black dreadlocks. The person begins to climb the mountain. They are struggling and trip and fall. The wind blows their robe away and they are naked and exposed. They cover their private parts. The person is revealed to be Lady Gaga. A close up of her body and face shows that she is covered in dust and mud. The lasers suddenly shine in her face which blinds her, and she starts to float up into the temple. She lands on the floor violently. The walls and the ceiling are covered in neon glow in the dark paintings of ancient gods. The room is pitch black with no light except from a spotlight across the small temple, which is shining on Zedd. He is stood behind a DJ deck and starts to play the track. The song begins and black gooey auras start to elevate out of the floor. Gaga looks confused and scared, but is drawn in by the music and begins to dance and sing. The auras become people, nude people. They all pile on top of each other and rub the black goo into each others skin. The rest of the video sees Gaga join them on top of the pile, whilst the music and the party continues. The lasers soon escalate and become bigger and grand. Gaga dances raunchily. The video cuts to close ups of Zedd and close ups of Gaga outside of the temple wearing a see-through latex drape that covers her whole body, which she eventually rips in half. Her nipples are covered by tape. The video ends with everyone in the temple sprinting out of the and rolling down the mountain in the pouring rain. Taylor Kinney makes a cameo towards the end and is seen holding Gaga in his arms and laughing with her. The video finally cuts to a close up of Zedd and he winks to the camera which immediately flashes the text “#TEMPLE”.

RITA COVERS HARPER'S BAZAAR + TALKS CELEB HATERS + HER P***Y
Rita cover's this month's edition of US Harper's Bazaar. 2,000 copies of the magazine will ship with an iTunes redeem code for her new single 'Losing Me'. Since announcing this on her twitter early this morning, there have been long queues at stores selling the magazine as people are desperate to collect a redeem code. Since being stocked in stores just under four hours ago, 70k copies have been sold, the highest the magazine has ever sold in such a short period of time. Rita is shown on the cover, wearing MAC cosmetics and a Burberry faux fur coat. PETA advocates slammed the star earlier today after the magazine was released to news stands worldwide for her "support for killing animals for fur." However Rita was quick to reply, saying "it's amazing how people who claim to be such animal experts can't even tell what is real and what is fake. What's even more amazing is that these people [PETA] are wasting their time slamming celebrities wearing faux fur instead of actually trying to stop the hunting of wildlife in Alaska. Digusting!" Following her rant on twitter, #TakeThatPETA trended for a couple hours.
Included inside this month's issue is an interview with Ora about her new life in the music world, her celebrity fans and haters and her p***y. Yes, her p***y.
It's nice to finality meet you, Rita. You're even lovelier in person!
Thank you! It's a pleasure to meet you too, Gary!
Let's get to it then! So how are you adjusting to the music industry?
So far, so good. It's still a bit disorienting to walk into a clothing store with my friends and hear my single playing on the radios or to see ads for AMQ or Pepsi featuring me. It feels like a dream a lot of the time. But I've made some new friends and of course some enemies in the business.
Who would you say is a friend?
Zendaya definitely! I met her a few days ago and she is amazing! I've been listening to some of her old music and I think she could be really big with her next era. I also consider Charli to be a close friend. We were next door recording studio buddies so we go way back!
That's great! I'm sure I can already guess who the enemy is! Azealia Banks?
I'm sorry, I refuse to speak of her. The little I've said of her has given her more promo than she has ever managed to generate in her entire three week career and I refuse to keep giving free handouts whether or not the recipient's relevancy depends on it.
Shots fired! Any other enemies in the biz?
I wouldn't really call her an enemy so much as a pet peeve. Cher has been getting on my nerves lately and it seems like she too, needs the free promo I've been giving out. But not anymore. I will stop speaking about her, so she can go back to flopping.
So 'Losing Me' is about your ex Rob. Since then have you gotten any action down there?
Gary! *laughs* But yes. She is always on the prowl and has a mind of her own. She definitely has a thing for long sausages if you know what I mean.
I think i do. *laughs*. Rita's new single is now available for purchase on iTunes and you might have a special redeem code in your copy of this mag so be sure to check for it. I had a great time talking to you!
I had fun.
