Xtina chats with Bethenny
Today, at the 'bethenny' studios, Miss Frankel sat down with the 'voice of our generation' as they chatted away at the most spontaneous of things. Aguilera had recently just released her 8th studio album - "Pandora's Box" - a few days ago. It seems as though Christina has won the general public and the majority of fans back with album as the response to the record is stellar; absolutely second to none. Her lead single -"Nighthawks - experienced much reasonable success and even peaked in the Top 5. It turned Gold a few weeks ago, already shipping sales that are way over 750k in total. That's not even when we inflate them!
In light of her killer that's still on the loose, Christina spilled the beans that she's taken up a few defence classes and doesn't believe in firearms since 'you never know when somebody's gonna use it against you these days'. She refused to comment on the Scientology spectacle, however, simply stating that 'moi doesn't have anything to do with them...Let Them Eat Cake'. Aguilera also told Bethenny that 'motherhood is a blessing and the best thing that's ever happened in my life'. Xtina wore a tight-fitting casual ensemble with matching silver bangles in the style of Tiffany & Co.
Her album "Pandora's Box" is now available for PURCHASE.
Aguilera's reggae-infused second single "Spitfire" f/ Azealia Banks is also available for PURCHASE.

Q: Welcome to the studio, Azealia Banks!
A: It's great to be here!
Q: We are so excited to have you here. Paradiso's remix just went number one on our radio station. Such a good song.
A: Thank you so much. I worked so hard on Paradiso and I'm real happy with how everything has played out with the song's success and all. I hope i can keep it up, you know? It's been great but I want to keep it going. I don't want to just disappear.
Q: Right. I think you will have longevity though. This song has been doing great and we think it's only going to keep doing better.
A: I can only hope so! Paradiso is such a special song to me.
Q: What was it like recording with all the girls in the studio for the remix?
A: It was so crazy. Almost unreal, you know? Like I have looked up to this women throughout my childhood as people I aspired to be and now I was performing with them. It was so unreal and everyone was so sweet.
Q: Was Remy Ma an issue in the studio considering her past?
A: Oh no of course not! Remy is such a sweetheart and I'm so happy I got to record with her. We were all just cracking jokes with eachother in the studio, it was really just so much fun. The performance we all did of Paradiso together at the AMAs was so much fun. I loved it. After it we all went backstage and Missy actually cried because she was so happy with how we did. Missy is so great, she's like a mother to me.
Q: That's so great. Missy seems so sweet so I'm glad she is.
A: Oh yeah me too! She's such a sweetheart. I love me some Missy.
Q: You have a song with Rita Ora on her new album called Time to Hop Off, just a week ago you guys were beefing, what happened?
A: Me and Rita are adults and we are also artists. In reality, me and Rita are good friends and that song is great.
Q: Speaking of collabs, your new single Spitfire with Christina Aguilera. How'd you guys put that together?
A: Christina is such a good friend of mine! I love her. We were in the studio at the same time and we just decided, hey why not put a rap verse in this reggae song she had going called Spitfire? So we did it! The song is really good, I love it.
Q: When can we expect tour dates for the upcoming The Lift Off tour?
A: Soon! Very soon. Next week definitely. The tour starts in two weeks and next week I'll be doing a residency in LA performing at the Nokia Theatre. Tickets are soldout so I'm so excited for the show, really.
Q: We're excited for it too! This is all the time we have to talk to you though, Azealia. Nice to have you here! Everyone at home be sure to buy Paradiso and Reborn on iTunes!

Mariah on The Wayne Brady show
Q:You’re quoted as saying, "I’m not vain. I’m insecure." You’re rich. You’re talented. You’ve got a wonderful career. What do you have to be insecure about?
MC:You know how you grow up thinking a certain way? It kind of can stay with you. I didn’t think I was the hip part of the scene when I was a little kid. I did not think I was a beauty queen. I grew up feeling very weird, very different – because of being multiracial and not looking like most of my friends. I was always feeling like I was an outsider. So I guess it just stuck with me and that's how my alter ego Bianca came about. It’s one of those little inferiority complexes that stick with you.
Q:One of my favorite parts of your show was when you walked into the audience. You came down the stairs and you shook hands and hugged people.
MC:I have a close relationship with my fans. Sometimes people are like "It’s a little bit much: your relationship with your fans," but it’s really not because they are the ones that are always there and do keep me going. When I do a show and sing album cuts and they’re singing every lyric, every note back to me. That’s really impressive and it makes me feel really good as a songwriter. It’s like "Okay, they listened to that part that I agonized over. It was worth something."
Q:We have something we do on the show called Celebrity Sound Off. I’m going to ask you certain things and you give me the response that happens off the top of your head. What’s your take on Harry Styles loving older women?
MC:I think it’s like everybody’s into the celebrity dating thing right now and everybody’s fascinated by them. So hopefully they’re happy.
Q:Is it wrong to buy clothes and return them after you wear them?
MC:I think if somebody feels the need that they really need a new outfit and didn’t have the money and they don’t get caught…I mean, it’s not illegal. If it’s not against the law, I don’t think it’s wrong, because everybody’s gotta live, you know? I probably did that when I was in high school.
After the commercial, Mariah Carey was seen wearing a beautiful white gown with golden bangles, and a shimmering white stilettos. With a golden microphone near her mouth, she sang her second single "The Stygian Chevalier" acoustically with only a piano, backing vocals and some percussions. She sang some of the lyrics in head voice rather than in chest to give it more "emotion", according to her after the performance. As the performance came to an end, she told the audience to buy her latest single, "The Stygian Chevalier" and her album which has the same name as her current single. She also thanked the people who have bought the singles and her album for this era and also being so supportive of her work.

Rihanna and Britney perform on iTunes Festival.
Today, Rihanna and Britney performed a set of 5 songs on iTunes festival, and they gave the show of people’s life’s. They performed songs: Touchin’ ME, Medusa, Deranged, Gimme Your Best, Juicy Cakes. The performances were all different and very interesting, people loved it, and that’s all that matter right? We ourselves really enjoyed the night, it was great, fun and both girls gave a hell of a show.
The show was a bit short tho, maybe because we had too much fun, who knows when you are having fun time goes by fast. The set was started with touchin’ me and later Brit and Rih performed their older songs, this was a good promo for touchin’ me, and Brit’s new album, also Rihanna’s.
Touchin’ Me:
The set started with Touchin’ Me and lots of fires. Girls came on stage wearing hot shirts, and their long legs were seen, very hot. Both girls showed their legs to people, sang amazing, and gave a hot performance. The performance was great because it was unique and interesting. Rhanna and Brit were in a huge see-through box, which shined in all colors, and was rolling around from time to time. They were singing in a rolling box, they were touchin each other, and there were disco party backgrounds beind them, it looked very 80’s and it was a fun, back in time. The performance ended with box shooting in the air, and blowing up, Rih and Brit landed on stage with parachutes, audience clapped and the night started.
Medusa
The set was continued with Medusa, Rih took her parachute off, Brit run backstage to get ready for Deranged, and Rih performed. Snake background were added to performance, Rih took off her shirt, and was on golden bra, and jean short shorts, she looked very hot, and fantastic. Her legs were popping. Three dancers ran on stage, and supported Rih. Then real snake was brought on stage, and Rih putted her on her neck, snaked was crawling on Rih’s body, and she was just singing her song. Then dancers lay down, Rih took the snake and put in on dancers abs, it was super hot. The performance ended with Rih putting her hand in air, and fireworks shot behind her. She ran backstage.
Deranged
The set continued with Brit rolling into stage with her roller skates. There were 11 roller skaters with Brit, and they helped Brit to do slick moves with rollers while performing. Brit sang her heart out, danced amazing, and was looking very juicy, and fantastic. For a mother of two to look like that is just a dream. She even did a sky high jump with rollers, and then nicely rolled with them, it was just spectacular, and memorable, fantastic performance from a legend. Britney then took rollers, and unzipped her outgit.
Juicy Cakes ft. Britney
It was time for juicy cakes, a banana and a strawberry huge were on stage. Rihanna came and sat on banana, Brit on strawberry, and they both started singing. They sang and started going to the top, props were high in the air now and both girls were looking hot and sexy, the whole stadium was dark, only a spotlight was showing Rihanna and Brit in the air a huge curtain then covered the stage, lights appeared again, curtain went away, and brit and Rih were now on stage. They did retro moves, and looked fabulous, gave Burlesque teas, it was amazing, and such a throwback, just amazing. The song ended, and Rih waved away to audience, brit stayed and ended the night.
Gimme Your Best
The night ended with Brit and a huge discoball, and burlesque dancers. A disco ball was brought to stage, the lights went down, and disco ball opened, over 40 dancers came out of it, and started dancing. Brit herself was giving killer moves. The performance was hot and sweaty, then lights went down, and all dancers started dancing, and doing step moves, it was a lot of tapping, and we loved it. Such a throwback again, the overall performance was perfect to end the night. Rihanna then came on stage with a bottle of champagne and shot the cork, champagne was spilled on Brit, the night ended.
People enjoyed the night, and festival is getting rave reviews, critics are praising the energy of both singers, and they also noticed how both girls did an amazing work on visuals, and everything. Now the only thing we need is a tour from both Brit and Rih, cause these performances are very great, and we love everything about them.

TMZ REPORT: Taylor Swift dating struggling popstar Paige Elliot
(Major Drama)
Major cerebria news came in tonight from none other than the biggest cerebria report sit in the world, TMZ. Notorious for groundbreaking gossip in the lives of artists such as Beyoncé, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, and more, it seems that TMZ have targeted one of or if not the biggest female in music right now, Taylor Swift. With her highly publicized personal life causing curiosity for millions of people around the world, there's no surprise that TMZ are willing to pay a high price for anyone who has exclusive tea or information about anything regarding it. With previous boyfriends such as Harry Styles, Joe Jonas, and lastly Brendon Urie, she's becoming a cerebra goldmine for gossip sites. Today TMZ targeted Taylor Swift with yet another story. This isn't the first time TMZ have leaked stuff of Taylor Swift's. It wasn't until TMZ got ahold of some unleaked phone calls via an AT&T worker that people were aware of Brendon Urie and Taylor Swift's secretive relationship. Things weren't kept secret after that as the two tried their best to keep their relationship from failing under pressure and scrutiny of the media. Unfortunately that didn't work as the once engaged couple soon split following a miscarriage. Soon after that TMZ reported on another incident that was caught by numerous pedestrians outside of a nightclub/bar in New York City. Remember that video of Paige Elliot trying to escape into a taxi and Taylor Swift attacking her? That was it. We were told that TMZ bought the video off a bystander for over one hundred thousand dollars (one hundred and thirty thousand dollars to be exact we hear from the man who had the video). It seems today TMZ have stricken more gold as they reported some major news regarding Taylor Swift's dating life. After many reports saying the singer-songwriter was dating actors such as Orlando Bloom, Ryan Gosling, and such, we found out today that the singer has been in a relationship with Paige Elliot for the past five months. We learned from TMZ that the lawsuit was fabricated to hide their relationship and make Taylor Swift supposedly seem to be "straight" and "single". We were told that Taylor's publicist wanted her to remain single to heal her image that tarnished a few years back during her RED era when she made the tragic decision of dating a boy band member who's skin bleeds grease and is cratered after the pretense of pimple. Loving him was really ****ing Red, sis. "The lawsuit was entirely fake and the two girls have put their publicists as responsible for the leak as the two had planned to make their relationship public. But because of Taylor's publicists and with Paige's trying to preserve their images, they were forced to be put against each other to kill all dating rumors. As you see it didn't work." A reliable source spoke those words about the event. Phone calls were also leaked. here are some below. "Hey Paige, I really miss you. I'm getting really ****ing sick of my pubclisist. You know sometimes it's just such ******** that I can't ever be happy because I have some image to retain. We're in ****ing 2014 you know? I think people are starting to know anyway. But this lawsuit and my publicist threatening me isn't making this any easier you know." That was a message Taylor left to Paige Elliot. "Hey sorry I couldn't answer your call. I love you too and I really get it. But we'll find a way to make it work. Promise. Come see me soon okay? No boys either. Just us, promise." Was another message that leaked, Paige leaving a message to Taylor.
Immediately following the TMZ article, hundreds of thousands people read it. So many to the point where a million people had found out the two were dating in the first hour. Trends blew up regarding their names, fangirls tweeting "Paylor 4 ever", "#Paylor4Ever" trending. The homophobes did trend some of their own stuff too (#KillAllLesbians, #ScissorYourselfFromTheCharts, #NoOneCaresPaige, #BeingGayIsntATalentTaylor, #PaigeStopTrying, #PaigeIsAFlop, #CollabArtistTaylor, #LaToyaWhereRU). Fans went into a frenzy as did all social media networks. Neither Paige Elliot or Taylor Swift have commented on the leak. We aren't expecting either to talk about it either any time soon.

Nicki shades Mariah on E! News
Minaj slammed Carey on Twitter again last week for fun according to reliable insider sources. The last time they clash on Twitter was when Mariah says that working on American Idol "is like hell" on a radio interview. A revealing article by Access Hollywood’s Laura Saltman finally hit the web. Providing video evidence during the Amercian Idol era to support her claims, Saltman stated that Minaj has been incredibly difficult to handle during the post-Idol press meetings and that she is often rude during interviews. What has resulted is an ongoing war of words between Minaj and the Access Hollywood staff.
Naturally, Minaj used the more relevant Carey’s name as part of her responses to Saltman as she clearly sought to get acknowledgement from the diva. However, Carey continued to ignore Minaj, who suggested that the former is “insecure” and jealous of her success.“God forbid you get a little shine,” the unstable Minaj said on E! News. “God forbid you’re maybe witty or quick on your toes or make someone laugh. Then maybe you’re making another person feel insecure. And you shouldn’t have to dim your light to let another person shine. And also your attempt at creating a dark album is so stupid. Who releases trash singles like "Libidinous Dream" and "The Stygian Chevalier" ?? I definitely can do better than that.”
Notably, Carey has yet to voice a negative word to or about Minaj in any public forum, and she has been a very encouraging judge on American Idol while Minaj has made every effort to insult the far more talented contestants. So, who has truly been guilty of dimming other people’s light? The shade from Nicki Minaj has caused a huge outrage from the media and public alike, saying that she was looking for fame, and so she picked on Mariah again since she is an easy target. "The Stygian Chevalier" single has risen due to the exposure from Nicki Minaj's shade on live television. The album also experienced an increase of sales due to that matter too.

The performance started with Brit and Rih standing on podiums, a few back singers were behind them. They did a little jazz twist with the song, a lot of instruments were added, and later orchestra appeared, it was very emotional, and vocally perfect, the aids, the voices everything just fitted like a sugar in tea. The host was seen very into the performance, she was smiling, and moving, it was just a very great performance, and audience looked like they love it, it was a different version of song, but it was very interesting, and good.

Azealia on Tyra
Azealia Banks appeared on Tyra Banks' talk show to promote her new single Paradiso as well as her new album Reborn. The appearance of Azealia on Tyra's show consisted of both a performance and an interview that were both uploaded onto YouTube after they aired on The CW. With 4 million people watching, Azealia's tweet that told her fans to watch the show obviously helped greatly to the views of Tyra's talk show. Along with this, Azealia's appearance had both Reborn and Paradiso increase greatly on iTunes in both positions and sales.
When Azealia performed her song Paradiso she was decked out in Valentino. Azealia incorporated both Vibes and her verse in Spitfire into her performance of Paradiso. Wearing a white pencil skirt with bright peach colored tube top with matching pumps and a large bow in her hair. For hair, Azealia had her hair in a pony tail with bangs and the color was a purple/maroon with the large peach bow keeping together the ponytail that was curled on the end. Along with this Azealia had a transparent vinyl raincoat that ended at the middle of the waist. Fashion Police praised Azealia's outfit she wore during the performance as cute and fun. At the start of the performance, Azealia started in the back with a large sheer pink sheet over her head blowing as a fan to her right blew it to the left. Azealia walked forward to the front of the stage as she was rapping her verse to Christina Aguilera's Spitfire. After this, Azealia tore away from the sheet and attached her mic to the stand where she began to sing her previous single that went number one, Vibes. With the crowd going wild, Azealia swayed and moved to the beat and after a minute and a half of Vibes, Azealia took off the mic and fist pumped as the beat to Paradiso came in. Rapping each lyric with perfect annunciation, Azealia owned the song and nailed every beat. After the performance of Paradiso with a quick commercial break, Azealia sat down for an interview with the ex-model Tyra Banks. Highlights of the interview:
Q: Wow! What an absolutely great performance!
A: Thank you so much. I'm so happy to be able to perform here.
Q: Let's talk about this outfit. It's absolutely stunning on you.
A: Oh I love this look. See Valentino designed this especially for me, as he does for the majority of my looks. This outfit is just so cute and it's like 50s meets prostitute on 5th avenue. I love it.
Q: Your fashion and style in general is amazing. You are almost a fashion icon. You've covered both Bazaar and Vogue in the same week! That's crazy!
A: It really is crazy! I was so happy and shocked when Anna Wintour called me up and asked me to cover Vogue. It's their best selling issue and their current issue hasn't sold even a tenth of what mine did, it's crazy.
Q: It's insane! You have an album out called Reborn. What are some highlights on the album for you?
A: Well besides Paradiso and Vibes, I really love Floating Down and Shades of Gray, which is in no relation to the book haha. Both songs are great and some of my sadder songs. I plan to release both at some point, if my label allows me to.
Q: We can't wait for that to happen! We have been loving Paradiso and Vibes. This is all the time we have though. Thank you for coming Azealia! Hope to have you again! Everyone at home go buy Paradiso and Vibes on iTunes today! Also pick up Reborn!

Azealia on Anderson 360
Azealia Banks appeared on Anderson Cooper's show on CNN called Anderson 360 in which Azealia weighed in on her previous controversies, discussed her album Reborn, and even performed her song Paradiso. Azealia brought over 3 million viewers to the show, a large increase from previous episodes of Anderson 360. Along with this, while the show was airing Azealia had her name trend as well as Paradiso on Twitter for multiple hours worldwide. After Azealia's appearance on the show was over, videos of both the interview and performance were uploaded onto YouTube in full where they have since garnered hundreds of thousands of viewers. Azealia's interview with the legendary reporter Anderson Cooper came first. Highlights are below:
Q: Great to have you here Azealia.
A: It's great to be here.
Q: Let's talk about your controversies. People have labeled you as the most controversial artist since Madonna.
A: I wouldn't go that far as saying that. I do think I have done some things that have gotten people's feathers ruffled though.
Q: What do you think about people who have been trying to imitate you with their controversies?
A: I don't think of them. That's the thing. They can only imitate, they'll never be me, they can only really dream. My controversies have never been my fault. They usually start by someone else doing something that's not right morally and I call them out on it. Then I tend to get the blame but luckily as of late people have been on my side.
Q: The BET incident is your most infamous. What do you think of that?
A: I think that I'm glad that Debra Lee is no longer with BET. She wasn't helping these young kids out there who are part of the LGBT community. My video for Vibes had nothing that was ban worthy. Just because there are two women kissing does not mean you should ban it. Put your belief aside, this is 2014 god dammit.
Q: Exactly. You have inspired so many younger kids with what you've done with GLAAD. With your album out and your tour about to start, what's next for Azealia Banks?
A: What's next for Azealia? Well I'd love to have a few more singles, maybe do a re-release. I'd then love to release another album. I'm always in the studio and always making music. That's never going to stop.
Q: That's great. Well after this commercial break you're going to perform your song Paradiso. We can't wait.
After a commercial break Azealia was ready to perform her new single Paradiso. Wearing a leaf green gown that flowed to the floor that was strapless and made of a gentle material, Azealia stood on the stage with nothing but herself and the mic. Azealia had her black hair in a bun sitting tall on top of her head held together by a green ribbon running throughout her head. Azealia's makeup matched the outfit and bun with greens and neutral tones, giving the entire look a nature feel. Azealia had the mic in her hand and swayed to the beat as she rapped a slowed down version of her new single Paradiso. After the performance ended, Anderson came out and told the at home audience to buy Paradiso and Reborn on iTunes today.
