Kesha opens up about eating disorder
We all know Kesha as the glitterpop diva that gave us the bops that were Tik Tok, Die Young, We R Who We R, Blow and Take It Off. All seemed to be going just fine for Ms. Sebert, until a certain tweet caused some controversy in Camp Kesha.
Kesha's tweet, which was later deleted.
The tweet had her fans (Animals) concerned about her situation, as she claimed to be forced to sing songs. The Dr. Luke debacle escalated even further when it was reported the 27-year old hitmaker had checked into rehab for an eating disorder. I can already hear you think, "an eating disorder? What does Dr. Luke have to do with that?"
Well here's the thing. It was widely reported that Dr. Luke was the one that had pushed her over the edge. Kesha's mother Pebe claimed Kesha had always struggled with her body, but Dr. Luke gave her the final push by claiming she looked like a refridgerator during the Die Young videoshoot.
The Animals were not having this and started campaigns to free Kesha from Dr. Luke, which resulted in Dr. Luke and Kesha parting ways and Kesha signing a deal with a brand new deal with Rave Records. We asked Kesha about her life before, during and after rehab.
Kesha loves herself more than ever and has never been this happy
This interview was held on the 22nd of May.
Q: So Kesha, tell us. How are you now?
A: I'm great thank you! I've just finished my treatment in rehab and I'm feeling better than ever!
Q: Are you completely healed or is there still work to do?
A: No, I've dealt with my eating disorder and I'm completely fine.
Q: That's great to hear! Now, how did you deal with your disorder?
A: I was affraid to admit it. I have always struggled with my weight and the disorder gave me a sense of control. I knew it wasn't the right thing to do, but I had to, in order to keep my recording contract. My label told me to lose weight or never release an album again.
Q: Wait, did they really treat you like that?
A: Yes, sadly. My team saw what I was going through and tried to reason with me, but I was impossible at that moment. So I nearly starved myself to death. My mother and doctor saved my life.
Q: That's horrible! I feel so sorry for you! How id you manage to get through rehab?
A: Well the facility was amazing to me and my mum joined me in there to support me. It was rough, but I came out as a better and healthier person. I love myself and my body more than ever right now
Q: I'm glad you did, I didn't want to see you join that notorious 27 club! What are you up to now?
A: I'm recording the last few tracks for my album, before we start mixing it in a month’s time. It's really great and something I created, without any pressure from my label. They wanted me to take it easy and give me as much time as I needed. My new single 'Beautiful Mess' is also out, so I'm looking forward to go out and promote that record.
Q: We're looking forward to hear the single and of course the album. Is there anything else you would like to say to the readers?
A: Yes! I would like to say to people out there that starving yourself for someone else is NEVER and I repeat NEVER the answer. Be you, stay true to yourself and if they don't like the real you, they can kindly f*** off. Be happy with yourself and don't pay attention to what others have to say about you.
Kesha's story is inspiring and we hope as many people struggling with an eating disorder as possible read this to help them through the rough time that lays ahead of them. Too many people struggle with eating disorder, which is why more attention is needed. Join us in our battle to bannish eating disorders and join the Eating Disorder Awareness Day Movement!

I really liked it! It sounds like something I'd jam to everyday. Now let's get to the questions! When did you three decide to work on this album?
Bey: Well we never really decided, it just sort of 'Happened'. You know how Kanye & Shawn already had an album together and I'm regularly featured on Jay-Z albums we started working more and more all three together!

Are you guys working on a music video for 'On Hold'?
Kanye: We already finished shooting it! It's all in black & white and is like some of short film.

Namie Amuro Returns To Spotlight
Creates Sub Label Under Disco_Vision Records, Becomes A One Women Show
In a unexpected TWIST Japanese Pop Singer, Namie Amuro most know for her critically acclaim and chart smashing debuting album "The Amuro Experience" has kept quiet and out of the public eye after disappearing oh so suddenly after her promotions for her lead single "Ballerina" from her supposed 2nd studio album ended. Hype and Anticipation had built around Amuro to see if she could with stand the Sophomore album curse and continuing deliver flaw free music. After hinting multiple times that her new album (which would never see the light of day) was to be inspired by music of pass generations and be quote on quote "A musical throwback gone modern" many were interested to hear what Amuro had been cooking up in the studio for so long only to be cut off. So whats happened since then? Well in an unexpected twist as mentioned earlier Namie Amuro has come out to announce her departure from her label company "Disco_Vision Records" only to become an independent artist and create her own sub label under Disco_Vision entitled "Discophoric Records" The decision was made after Amuro felt as though she wasn't getting enough push and motivation to carry out her albums entirely as she felt and believes that if she works on her own time thing can easily come better together for her. As of now Amuro's label has no artist signed except for herself of course but she aims to sign more artist in the near future after she's quote on quote "Had her time" which we believe may shine light on something bigger to come! When asked about her musical career by fans after announcing her business moves Amuro simply said "Always be on the look out kids" so with that will be sure to keep you posted! Will her 2nd studio album finally see the light of day? Will it be the same concept as before or scrapped all together? Answer's we're sure to get some time soon

Per artist. It'd be unfair to limit labels with multiple artists.

Zendaya performs on The Today Show
Earlier today, Zendaya stopped by The Today Show in New York city to make an appearance on the show by performing her recently released single "Gunshots", which was produced by famous urban and hip-hop producer Mike Will Made It. Her single "Gunshots" became available to purchase on iTunes and Amazon earlier today after Republic Records announced that they have signed Zendaya to help and release her upcoming sophomore album, which is set to be released later this year, probably sometime in July. Zendaya first showed up on the on the show when she was interviewed by the hosts. The interview wasn't really that long and she didn't reveal much new things, but she talked about the new single, upcoming new music and stuff like that. Besides those things, Zendaya was also asked about her new record deal and her situation with her previous label, new the meaning of "Gunshots", fashion choices and her biggest style icons, inspirations and a lot of other things. Later that night, a lot of websites named Zendaya the best dressed of the day, and Fashion Police called her outfit and make-up perfect as they named her best dressed as well. She looked really good indeed, wearing a beautiful matching jacket and shorts-type-of-pants, a pair of black Louboutins. Her hair was put in a cute, low ponytail, and her make-up was on point as it completed the look with bright dark purple lips and smokey eyes.
After her interview, Zendaya appeared on the show stage to perform her new single "Gunshots." Also, Zendaya performed the single for the second, or third time ever, and her performance brought a good amount of attention. Appearing on the stage in the same outfit as she wore during the interview, she sat down on the chair that was placed in the middle of stage. Sitting next to her, it was guitarist who played the acoustic guitar, and also two back-up singers, who helped Zendaya out with their additional voices when she was out of breath, for example, after long notes. Zendaya chose to perform her single completely acoustically, without any kind of playback, only with her guitarist pulling the strings and creating a simple beat, but the whole spotlight and all of the attention was on Zendaya and her voice, as she did a perfect job with this performance. It was probably a really smart idea to perform the single acoustically, because that way she stripped down completely and showed what she can really do with her voice and vocals, especially when a lot of people say that she is not a good live performer, at all. After this performance, the crowd stood up for Zendaya and applaused her for this excellent performance that started the night.

Yea but some people get attitudes if someone "steals their promo". Most people just perform where they want and if someone did already they'll wait to tomorrow.
There's also a list of places to perform and promote in the OP.

Paula Deen Interviews on Today Show, Speaks Out About Ray Feud
Paula Deen made a surprise appearance on the Today Show to talk about her rejuvenation as a cook-chanteuse hybrid, her feud with Rachael Ray and new upcoming cooks in the music industry. Q: So Paula, I think we've all heard your hashtag iconic new single. Many were shocked by your sudden switch from the food industry to music. What inspired this change?
Paula: Well, I wanted to spice things up, no pun intended la-mao! My doctor also won't let me be within ten yards of a kitchen but that's besides the point! I've been trying to fight the worst type discrimination in the world, ageism, by showing that people with wrinkles can be hip and trendy and with the times, too! However, I also don't want these little youngins to lose good ideals that I had growing up, and that's really what The Southern Way (Diabeates) is about; all the good stuff I was taught growing up that these kids just don't hear anymore!
Q: I hear you loud and clear. So what's the rest of the album going to be like?
Paula: Well, to be honest I haven't even recorded much past The Southern Way! I'm waiting for Pharrell to, how do you kids say it, come thru with some sick beats, bruh!
Q: You know, Pharrell's in the audience now!
Paula: Really? Which one is he? That one?
Q: No, that's Kelly Rowland... Moving on! So as we all know you've had quite the feud with Rachael lately. Care to share your thoughts on this whole thing?
Paula: **** Rachael, bitch tried it. She tried to come for me with that new aych bee eye cee song, but I ain't having it sis. I will drag that pathetic little gremlin by her flat-ass weave until she's as bald as Britney Spears. Someone tell this ugly ho to quit cooking so I don't have to hear about how to prepare piles of dog **** in 30 minutes every time I put the Food Network on.
Q: Now, as usual, you've been a trendsetter among chefs, and many are now becoming elusive chanteuses and butch femcees! How do you feel about these girls?
Paula: They're almost all too irrelevant to care about but I've met Ina Garten before so I listened to her album preview. It's really the best cook's music out there right now apart from my own. Right now I'm trying to pen a collaboration with her for my album which will be in stores soon.
Q: Thank you for this interview, Paula! Everyone make sure to buyPaula's new single, The Southern Way (Diabeates) at your local iChunes now, and buy her album Skin As Fair As My Hair, in stores soon!
