This isn't the first time, but I won't be a twat about it.
It's still the same season. Egle just decided to step down from hosting to play, and I guess I'm hosting now.

I hope you don't think I'm silently perched in this thread all the time, lol! And I haven't been popping in the thread this season (or last season, besides when I was playing) at all, really.

No wonder there's a "no drama" rule, clearly it's a legit problem.

That comment was not to you, love. You didn't come off bitter or caustic, did you?

TAYLOR SWIFT x 97.1 AMP RADIO
723
Taylor Swift visited 97.1 AMP Radio today alone as the singer-songwriter’s collaborator, Justin Bieber, would take on a few other radio stations that day as well. The singer-songwriter would arrive in nothing but style (a plug in for promotion of her ninth number one there), wearing a gorgeous little Murad dress that was sequined from the top to the very bottom. Immediately once being photographed in the dress, she’d make many headlines on fashion blogs, praising her styling skills along with the makeup that Taylor had done herself in the hotel before leaving to visit the radio station. Taylor was accompanied by her boyfriend who would wait in the car to enter around back as she’d get out to sign autographs for the hundreds of fans waiting outside to greet her. She’d be outside for about fifteen minutes before heading inside to get ready for interview.
It would only be ten to fifteen minutes later until Taylor would be on air, live on 97.1 AMP Radio waves. They’d start with some small chat, first talking about the absence of her collaborator on the song she is promoting, ‘Too Good To Lose’, the one and only Justin Bieber. Taylor would give a slight frown but would remain positive by grinning with a slight shrug. “He’s off promoting at some of the more urban bases stations. He’s more familiar with those and he was like I’ll take those you go ahead and do the pop and rhythmic. So I did that and here I am. It’s really weird for him to not be here with me. We’ve been together for the past few days. I really miss him being an asshole and stuff. I also miss Vanessa and going into each other’s hotel rooms to paint each other’s toes and talk about how **** our boyfriends are.” The singer was full humor as she would then answer questions more music related.
“I’ve always been a songwriter who wrote from the heart. I know there’s pop songs out there now that people like to discredit because they’re about sex, drugs, and such. In my opinion, they’re all things to write about. They’re all things people can experience and write about. What I think determines whether or not it’s real songwriting is the fact if well of course, the singer actually wrote it and if the lyrics are something that beyond the writing skills of first grader in primary school. For me, being a singer songwriter is really about challenging yourself. Challenging yourself to see if you can top what’ve you done previously in your dialogue with every song. Making this record, not Yours but I’m really referring to the new album I’m working on here, I really am challenging myself lyrically. I’m taking on a whole new style of writing I’ve never really done before. It’s far more poetic and full of metaphors than Electric Princess, Coven 13, or any other album has been. It’s got some of the stronger melodies too. I think when making an album, you should have one goal in mind. Making a record that makes your previous look like complete **** in comparison.”
The singer would too talk about some of her favorite shows out right now. "I'm a big fan of American Horror Story. Or at least I think so. The recent season is one I'm not a huge fan of. The characters aren't necessarily as full of dynamic and liveliness as the past seasons were. In Coven the dialogue was great along with the plot. At least at the beginning of the season, I think. Asylum was beautiful executed minus the alien part. I never really understood that or got it but... yeah. All the seasons have been pretty good sans Freak Show up until the end. Freak Show is just a god damn mess. Ryan Murphy should be ashamed of himself for what a mess he's made. I do hope Lily Rabe and Frances Conroy get their justice and starring roles though."
Taylor would then proceed to perform a little of the song acoustic for the radio station before heading out of the studio to another studio for some more promotion of the song. Swift’s album ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’ is available for purchase now in Target and for the first time digitally in the US on iTunes.

GWEN STEFANI SIGNS TO DEMO RECORDS;
NICKI, LANA, MORE DROPPED
Demo Records faced a rocky beginning of 2015, mostly due to low funds and Nicki Minaj's album and lead single falling through. After the label resigned alumni Becky G to the label, though, it had its roots restored. After reviewing data they've collected through thorough research, the label has decided to go even more back to its roots. Demo Records let go of Nicki Minaj, Fifth Harmony, Lorde, and Lana Del Rey, fulling freeing them for any contracts tying them to the label. The label plans to focus on Becky G's blossoming career and Marina & The Diamonds' upcoming album. But thats not all for the label... they have decided to sign Gwen Stefani to Demo Records, with an album release planned for Mid February.

Azealia Rides Camel on American Idol/Kills 2, Injures 5
Performing on American Idol today is Azealia Banks who went on the program to perform the hit song off of her new album, Metamorph. Along with that, Azealia also performed both Fly and Space Oddity, the two promotional singles of the era and future actual singles. Azealia said the following about having the ability of being able to perform on American Idol when the paparazzi asked "I am so thankful for performing on American Idol tonight. Second time in two weeks! Wow! It's insane how fast my life is moving and how fast everything involving my career is moving. I can only hope that it continues to go up from here but I truly believe in myself in the sense that I will continue moving up in the music industry and with overall success. I can't wait to show all the American Idol viewers the new songs off of my album The Dying Stars. By the way, speaking of that, The Dying Stars is my latest album which is on iTunes today. Go buy it!" The paparazzi were then later seen with hundreds of copies of The Dying Stars in their wagons. While on American Idol, Azealia helped mentor the little losers with no futures by giving them words of advice "Hey, you know what? Most of you will be forgotten two minutes after you're eliminated but at least you finally got that attention you've been craving your whole life, am I right? Now go out there and give the world the mediocre vocals we all tolerate! Go team!" Azealia then fist pumped with the little losers and kept motivating them to do mediocre on American Idol. After this aired, everyone talked about how much Azealia helped them as she nodded knowingly. Azealia went on to give a medley of three songs off of her album, Metamorph, Space Oddity, and Fly. During this performance Azealia had two special guests come out, Janet Jackson and Childish Gambino. During the performance, Azealia wore a Chanel camel fur coat as well as a white bikini. She drug out a rug and rode in a camel on stage as she had dancers help her step down from her high up position (like she is on the charts) Azealia then got handed a mic and she began to do the choreography of Metamorph perfectly and Janet Jackson came ridiing in on another camel and she ended up falling of the camel and broke a leg. After a quick commercial break and getting Janet off the ground, Azealia was back to singing. She was then singing Fly with Childish Gambino as the two of them sat on the camel humps and the drummer playing the drumps on the camel humps. After the performance of Fly, Azealia then rode the insane camel into the audience as it trampled over two people, killing them, and severely injuring four. Azealia then sang Space Oddity as she rode off into the sunset on the camel. Be sure to buy The Dying Stars today.

KESHA RELEASES NEW SINGLE "TWILIGHT"

Kesha is back! The pop princess announced earlier today that her brand new single was to be called "Twilight", and it's now available on iTunes for purchase.
"This song is so special to me," Kesha revealed, "I wrote this song when I was in rehab in early 2014 about that exact moment when everything gets dark and goes wrong. That's the twilight. So it's kind of a dark song, but it's also kind of dancy. It's a dark dance anthem. I think that my fans are going to relate to it because I talk about a lot of the issues that I was going through around that time. But it's definitely a pop song, but one to make you think, instead of just, 'Oh let's go out and party and get drunk and crazy' like a lot of my previous singles were about."
Kesha admits that she's very excited about her upcoming record, "It's going to be super huge, like literally massive," Kesha revealed. "There's 28 songs, over two discs. The first disc will be something old and the second disc will be something new," Kesha also spilled. When asked for further clarification, Kesha revealed that the single "Twilight" will be on the second disc of the album, "Oh disc two. Yeah definitely. No question about that one. The album is all ready to go, I'm just waiting on my label to tell me when they think a good time to release it is. But it's all done. And I'm so excited for my fans to hear it!"
Kesha announced that she plans to spend the next week promoting her new single "Twilight", "If I have my way it's going to be everywhere!" Kesha laughed, "I've worked out a few promotional slots already and I'm just waiting on my team to get back to me on where and when I'm going to perform "Twilight", but I'll definitely be performing it. And I'll be doing interviews. I mean that's kind of expected, right?" Kesha smirked.
The TiK ToK songstress also revealed that a music video shoot was planned, "The date's set for the video shooting. I can't say when but it is soon. The video will be happening soon. It's not done yet, but it will be out before the album, that's for sure," Kesha announced. "I've got the concept and the venue and everything's planned and organised, we just need to, you know, get it done!"
Finally Kesha said that she would be interested in recording a song for a soundtrack, "Of course I'd do that! I mean I have so many songs already written that are just sitting around collecting dust... not even metaphorically! I have songs recorded on old cassette tapes just sitting around my house collecting dust. It's kind of funny actually. So yeah, I would definitely write a song for a movie or rework an older one. Why not? If it feels right, I'll definitely do it. Some day."
Make sure to purchase Kesha's new single "Twilight" from the self-titled third studio album 'Kesha Rose', on iTunes now!

Azealia Rides Camel on HSN
Camel enthusiast and musician Azealia Banks appeared on the Home Shopping Network today where she performed, while on a camel, her song Metamorph as well as Fly and Space Oddity. Along with the performance, Azealia went on to give an interview while on a camel about how she loves her camels and also about the album she released (which is on iTunes. Buy it) The Dying Stars. Azealia gave full background about the album and how her camel inspired her to write something so beautiful and powerful. When asked as to why she has a camel Azealia said the following to a paparazzi person "**** you. Communist asshole. Who the **** do you think you are? Trying to control me and my life! let me breathe! Don't make me call the cops on you you loser ass piece of donkey ****. Camels are so much better than you and honestly I wish you would die. Camels rock and you just suck socks! Fight for the camels 2015! Praise!" Azealia was then seen slapping the paparazzo with her camel's penis. Azealia then yelled "no regrets" as she entered the HSN studio to promote The Dying Stars. When asked about her appearance on HSN and why she is choosing to promote on HSN two weeks in a row, Azealia responded to the person asking by saying "hey. I am my own person. I do what I want. I don't conform to society. Conformity is for ****ing losers. Buy The Dying Stars on iTunes ******" Azealia then rolled out a carpet for her camel to walk on. Azealia's appearance on HSN has been heavily advertised the past week as it is big news for someone so beautiful and amazing to be on the show. Everyone was crying when they saw someone that beautiful in front of them. Reports are saying that some blond singer is really jealous of Azealia's beauty. During Azealia's performance on HSN, she was seen wearing a Valentino trouser suit made of lace and a leather blouse, showing the world that she truly gives no ****s and she loves to be very high fashion, much more so than other female celebrities. Azealia walked on set, grabbed a mic and started singing Metamorph. The lights then went down and Azealia threw her glasses across the room as she got her camel to stand on her back legs as Azealia climbed on and continued singing Metamorph. After the performance of Metamorph, Azealia went on to perform both Fly and Space Oddity. This time, since they're not as fast pace as Metamorph, she got the camel to lay down so she could rap Fly and sing the slow tones of Space Oddity. Azealia then gave herself an applause and the camel had an accident on stage in between commercials. After those commercials, that advertised Metamorph on iTunes, Azealia was ready to be interviewed. The first question asked was how do camels inspire Azealia. She responded to this by saying "They remind me of ugly people in the world and how I am above them and how I can just sit on them and ride them around. Camels are beautiful creatures. They're very underrated. They heavily inspired The Dying Stars." When asked about the background of Fly Azealia said "I love Fly. One of my favorite songs on the album. I can't wait for it to be an official single. Next week! I am also releasing a music video for it next week! Be sure to watch out! Me and Childish Gambino have filmed the video out in Egypt and it's going to be epic epic EPIC! I can't wait honestly. It will have camels too so don't worry if you're a huge camel fan like I am. If you aren't a huge camel fan like me, then you obviously aren't a true Azealia fan and I would prefer if you just stopped listening to my music. Please and thank you. Buy my album." After the interview, Azealia then told everyone to buy The Dying Stars on iTunes. During Azealia's appearance on HSN, she sold over 100,000 copies of The Dying Stars to people who buy stuff on TV. However, if you missed Azealia on HSN, you can still buy The Dying Stars today. Be sure to purchase it on iTunes or in your local Target today!

Alright, well, now that I have the formula, I'm making a few changes to it, and I can say that you'll get bonuses for article lengths. It's not massive, as in being on the scale of some performance or something, but it'll be worthwhile.
