Nothing, just didn't wanna use your artist unless you wanted me to, you could mention it on a few interviews and such if you want but not necessary at all

[iforgiveyou]

I am going to knock out some promo articles right now. If my artist appears on a show that you are on, just pretend it happened at some point this week, because I probably won't be able to be here every day. So, y'all just keep that in mind.

Jimmy: Can you tell us the title?

Britney: Sure, why not.. ok so this is the first time anyone's hearing it, the album is called American Dream.

Jimmy: And I'm guessing that you are the "American Dream", correct?

Britney: Yes that's correct *giggles*

Jimmy: Well I can tell you this, all the boys in America are certainly dreaming about you after all these new pictures and videos.

Britney: Oh hush up Jimmy.

Jimmy: You said you had a surprise for us on twitter, what is it?

Britney: I have an announcement.. I'm gonna be touring very soon, actually the first date is July 19th and it's gonna be at Madison Square Garden. Also, I have the first tour poster that I wanna reveal so here it is.

Jimmy: Like who?

Britney: Well you'll see on the updated posters when the tour dates get closer but I'm trying to secure Céline Dion for the dates in France, Canada, and the UK.

Jimmy: Your massively promoted MTV documentary is coming out this week, right?

Britney: Yea this saturday, I'm so excited for everyone to see it!

Jimmy: Well we actually have an exclusive preview we wanna air so here goes

---- Preview focused on Spears getting ready for WMA performance "I'm so nervous!" and rehearsing for the performance "2 weeks earlier", it also focuses on a "tell-all" part of the interview where she opens up about the umbrella attack "the pap was all over me and he wouldn't leave me alone, it was a sad night.. it was like a switch turned off and i don't know all the rage I'd been holding in I just let it out on his car *laughs*----

We really can't wait to see it

Britney: Well thank you

Jimmy: You're gonna perform for us, right?

Britney: Yessir

-------



The performance started with Britney wearing a long white gown with smoke surrounded the stage. Britney sang a slow version of Gimme Your Best for 40 seconds before the lights turned off and everything went pitch-black. The lights turned back on after 10 seconds and Spears was center stage with a jean jacket, black bra, and dark skinny jeans with black boots on. Britney now had a head-mic on and was surrounded in a circle formation by ladies in army clothes. They danced like members of an army move during a drill to the first chorus of Gimme Your Best, they were doing push-ups as Spears stood up and raised her hand in the air, the dancers then pushed their bodies completely off the ground and fell flat down as Britney got into her ring of fire and danced by herself while smoke surrounded her.

Men then came on the stage trying to seduce Britney but Spears and the army girls pushed all the guys off as Spears shouted into the mic "sometimes.. none of them are good enough". An army tank then came out of the stage as Spears and all the girls jumped on top of it and started dancing on it to the final chorus of Gimme Your Best. They all got inside the tank as the song ended, smoke surrounded the tank as Britney got inside while the tank descended to underneath the stage, ending the performance and the tonight show.

ANASTACIA APPEARS IN PEOPLE MAGAZINE

Anastacia took to people magazine this week for a photo shoot and to discuss her latest single, “Gold Temptation”. Meeting with staff writer Gabriella Gomez, the singer was ready for an intense interview that would showcase her personality.

GG: Anastacia, I must say I am absolutely honored to be talking with you today. Your new single, “Gold Temptation” was written by you and produced by Ryan Tedder. How was it to work with Ryan?

A: Hi there, Gabriella. [laughs] Working with Ryan was really amazing. I showed him the new single and he told me he had major production ideas for it. He completely built a wall of sound that was incredible to sing with. I had such a blast with him.

GG: Your new single is about the desire for riches and giving your soul for the gold. Do you think fans will respond positively to it?

A: At the heart of it, it’s a sprock song. It’s a fun song you just dance to and let it all go. Yeah, I guess if someone wanted to analyze the lyrics, it’s not a love song. But neither are songs like, “My Humps” which are focused on body parts.

GG: So you have a problem with the Black Eye Peas? Is that what fans should take from your comment?

A: No, I have no problem with anyone. I’m not here for drama. I am a tough as nails woman, but I like everyone. So, let’s not take this interview down that path. Thanks.

GG: Radio has warmed up to your new single. Do you feel like you’ll smash hard this era on US radio? I would say it has been long overdue for you!

A: I hope so. My management company is very committed to my success.

GG: The timing really couldn’t be better. The single has summer smash written all over it and it’s the middle of summer.

A: Yeah. [Laughs] Sprock music tends to do best in the summer. I’m thrilled I was signed in enough time to have a summer hit. I know the fans are really going to love the single and the album is going to blow their minds. It’s going to be hot.

GG: Now, I am looking at your single cover and there are half naked men covered in gold paint. Does that mean perhaps that some of your gold temptation is in the physical beauty of men.

A: I make no apologies for liking a hot man painted in gold. [laughs] I haven’t heard a complaint from the fans either. I suspect they are just appreciative to have them there.

GG: Perhaps so. Can you give me any hints on when your new album will be out?

A: Ryan and I are putting the finishing touches on the album now. When the album is ready to be released, we’ll do it. Until then, you can count on us sticking to the studio and giving the fans what they want.

GG: Thank you for dropping by to chat with us today, Anastacia. Readers, please pick up a copy of, “Gold Temptation: which is available in stores now or on your favorite digital music retailer.

ANASTACIA APPEARS IN ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

Anastacia was recently featured in Entertainment Weekly as part of the promotional efforts for her latest single, “Gold Temptation”. The piece was written by staff writer Jason Keller and the piece offered some information on the singer and her new single.

JK: Anastacia! I am thrilled to have the chance to sit down with you. I heard you beat cancer again!

A: Hell yeah I did! [laughs] Hopefully, this is the last time I have to take it on. It’s a hell of a scare and if it wasn’t for the support of my fans and God, I don’t think I could have done this again.

JK: Do you think the fact you are a survivor helped you to release a fun and upbeat song like, “Gold Temptation”?

A: Perhaps. I mean, surviving cancer did help me to look at life in a way that makes it precious and fun. None of the pretentious ******** matters.

JK: You realize I can’t put some of your language in writing. [laughs] It’s too bad too. You are so well versed. I am really taken aback by how down to earth you are.

A: All I can be is me. I love the single, “Gold Temptation” and I am proud of it. But I am also the same girl who loves the simple things in life. [laughs]

JK: Is there anyone that inspired you when you wrote this song? Or did it just come from a fun set of lyrics?

A: It was all about some random lyrics I came up with. I’d love to say someone inspired the single. But I’d be lying if I said that.

JK: So let’s be realistic. Your label is big on collaborations and you’ve appeared on the new Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson albums. Can we expect some of these singers on your album?

A: At this point, I can’t confirm anything about the album. Except the new single will be on it, which will make it a hot album right?

JK: The new single is incredible, so I can see it helping boost sales for sure.

A: Thanks, man.

JK: Last week, Reba broke the sales record for River Rose Records in terms of total number of sales sold. Kelly Clarkson has the labels highest chart number on the singles chart. Do you think you can break the label’s records this week?

A: Man, I don’t know. I heard promotion is down this week. I am going to give it my all, [laughs] I’ve got some appearances and I am looking to really push hard for my fans. I guess the answer is that we’ll have to wait and see.

JK: Well, I guess that just about wraps things up for us. It has been such a joy to learn more about you. “Gold Temptation” is such a hot track, I really hope that you end up having some great success with it.

A: Thank you so much! It means the world to me that you took the time to sit down with me to discuss the album!

JK: My pleasure. Readers, don’t forget to download the hot new single by Anastacia that Entertainment Weekly gave a “A-“ to in this week’s issue. You can also buy a physical copy in your favorite store.

Very nice. It should go easier for you. I find that if I stick with a single artist, I can push out the promo faster than rotating.

ANASTACIA APPEARS IN MAXIM MAGAZINE

Anastacia was recently invited to appear in Maxim magazine. She agreed and sat down with staff writer Daniel Wilson and to do a photo spread for the racy magazine. Not a stranger to controversy she agreed and delivered a series of photos that were

DW: Anastacia, you look smoking hot. You have a charming scent to you. Tell our readers what you are wearing?

A: It’s a blend of lily, jasmine and rose. It’s one of my homemade blends. Do you like it?

DW: I do! Your new single is called, “Gold Temptation”. A fiery new summer track that makes people want to get up and dance. Tell us, what is your favorite golden temptation.

A: I love rings. [laughs] If I could cover my hand in golden rings, I would be in heaven.

DW: Very nice. Are there a plans for a video for the new single?

A: We are working on the budget now. My label is very focused and is creating a formula for success. I haven’t experienced that before and I am loving it. I like knowing that my team wants me to be successful and wants my single to smash hard.

DW: I am surprised they have time with that hot mess Dolly Parton on their label.

A: I don’t get mixed up in label politics. I focus on the music. Like, “Gold Temptation” Is a hot new single that is fun to sing live and I love watching people get up and dance while they are listening to it.

DW: If you could change one thing about the song, what would it be?

A: I like the song as it is. But I would probably add some more bass to it. Give it some super bass.

DW: That would make it a banging hard track.

A: [laughs] I like how it is now. Part of me is tempted to change things up when I perform it live. You never know.

DW: When was the first time you heard the new single on the radio?

A: I was on my way to Z100 and they played it and announced I would be speaking to them. It was surreal. It has been an uphill fight for me to get on American radio.

DW: Which is insane. You have such an incredible voice and your music is infectious.

A: That’s why I am glad my marketing team is doing more to bridge that gap and to help me to generate those US sales. I do plan on visiting my overseas fans tough too during this promotion. It’s amazing to have people all over the world shower me with love.

DW: Well, you have earned it. We’re going to need to turn you loose though. It’s been incredible talking to you about your life and of course about your hot new single.

A: Thank you for that! I loved being here.

DW: Readers, make sure you check out this hot new single by Anastacia called, “Gold Temptation”. Physical copies are in stores now or you can download a copy at your favorite digital distributor.

Azealia on Ellen

Promoting her new single, Paradiso, Azealia Banks appeared on Ellen Degeneres' talk show to perform the hot new song for the first time as well to talk about her sophomore album "Reborn" which was just released yesterday. On top of all of this, Azealia did an interview with the hit talk show host where she talked about Rita Ora. Aired earlier today, ratings were astonishing for the daytime talk show as this was hyped as the "first performance of Paradiso by Azealia" A treat to her fans, Azealia even announced the release of the music video for Paradiso.

For the performance of "Paradiso", Azealia also incorporated elements of her previous single "Vibes" into the performance to continue promotion of the lead single off of Reborn. Dressed in Valentino couture, Azealia wore a white bathing suit remarkably beaded with red crystals. With extensions flowing to her butt, Azealia swung her hair from side to side as she pranced on stage with Miu Miu matching white and red sunglasses. Accompanied on stage by two muscled male dancers wearing white jockstraps with matching red beadery, at the start of the performance the two male dancers began making out as Azealia danced around the stage in her red and white 4 inch Louboutins. After the instrumental beginning, Azealia stepped up to the mic where she began rapping the verses to Paradiso and raising her arms and moving amongst the stage to the music. In the chorus of the performance, LED screens behind Azealia began showing images of a pixel beach with clouds floating and the screen flashing between normal and inverted coloration. With the male dancers moving to the music, Azealia was bringing the crowd to life as she danced/walked around the stage. After the killer performance of Paradiso, Azealia then moved into her lead single Vibes' for a different performance. The dancers were exchanged for two female dancers wearing black and Azealia went backstage to change into a black wedding dress. As Azealia walked to the mic, the dancers behind her swayed and moved to the music as Azealia began belting the lyrics to Vibes. After the first verse and chorus, the performance was over. A full performance of Paradiso and half a performance of Vibes, and the crowd was pleased. After a commercial break, Azealia sat down for an interview where she was changed into a beige pantsuit with a sunhat with the head cover missing, designed all by Valentino. Read below for Interview highlights:

Q: Wow you gave us an amazing performance! That's your new single Paradiso right?
A: Yes it was! You can buy it on iTunes. I also added in some of my previous single Vibes too, just for fun.
Q: Amazing! the song is really good and has been doing well on iTunes. What inspired you to make this song?
A: Thank you, by the way. Well why did I make this song? As many of my fans know, I have a mixtape out called Fantasea and on that mixtape there's a song on there called Paradiso. Well more like an interlude. I always felt like it needed more and my fans felt like that too! So I decided that if I got some new producers on this track to change it up, I could put Paradiso on my album, which is called Reborn, and it'd fit right in.
Q: Well we love it and we think it fits in perfectly. So you and Christina Aguilera had a collaboration on her latest single "Spitfire" tell us about that.
A: Well Spitfire is a really good and fun song, everyone should really go buy it. Xtina hit me up and was like "You wanna collab?" and of course I said sure I mean she's a legend! So We did the track and it's out there and it is great. Everyone needs to go buy it. I think it will do really well.
Q: I love Spitfire. You and Xtina did great. Now while we're speaking about other artists, tell us about Rita Ora. She's said some things and you've said some things. Tell us where you guys are at right now.
A: Where are we at right now? Well I just scored a number one and I don't know where she's at but that's where I've been. Rita is petty. I don't see her as anything more than a nuisance. I mean I already dealt with her last year, stop hitting me up for attention!
*crowd oos and Ellen looks shocked*
Q: Wow! Well that's crazy. Your new album Reborn has been doing great. Number one on iTunes congrats!
A: Thank you, thank you. I am so happy with how well it's been doing. It's my favorite album I've put out. It's my 2nd album on this label and my 3rd album altogether. I love it. The album is a very different side from what the general public is used to seeing. It's a personal work and I think this is a "fans only" type of album, you know? But the success I'm getting from it makes me even happier. I plan to release the video for my single Paradiso Wednesday of this week. I'm real excited about it. It's fun and cute and I think my fans will agree.
Q: I love the album. It's just truly genius. I think that's all the time we have though. Thank you for coming here, Azealia. Everyone at home go buy Azealia's new album Reborn as well as her single Paradiso!

Also, iHype., can I sign Calvin Harris?

It's a good approach. I am beefing mine up some. But I am not sure I will hit 20 for all the girls this week. My week is probably going to get crazy here soon.
