My promo campaign for Christina is heavily inspired by Born This Way, now that I think about it.

Well nobody has booked that yet, so I guess you can do it.

How many points would the Dick Clark thing be? 'cos I could just let her do Imagine, and then drop the Times Square Ball (and the album).

Zendaya covers ASOS magazine
ASOS just exclusively announced on their Twitter account that rhythmic R&B singer Zendaya will cover their January issue. This is the first time that Zendaya covers a magazine since June, and it's probably the first time new pictures of her appear online. Zendaya stopped posting on her social media sometime mid July, when she decided that she was listening to other people's opinions way too much and that she was over-rushing the proccess of her sophomore album. She cancelled all of her appearances on red carpets and events, and locked herself up in the studio with many producers and songwriters. However, Zendaya broke the silence off when her six unreleased and unfinished demos were leaked online and she put out a press statement on her label's website, commenting on the situation and explaining what happened and denying the rumours about her releasing her new single on New Years Day. In her interview for ASOS, Zendaya talks about the pressure that she feels to put out her record as soon as possible, her bold fashion choices, her decision to stay with Disney for a few more years, her 2015 plans and other stuff as well.
On the pressure to release her sophomore album as soon as possible: "I definitely feel the pressure to release my new record as soon as possible, and it's really tiring. I guess that "Gunshots" was rushed a bit since we didn't know what we want to do after releasing the first single, and we thought that we could record the rest of the album while "Gunshots" is released, but that's not how it works. Basically, it was impossible to get in the studio while "Gunshots" was still charting, because we would have to promote the single during the day, and then we would have to plan other appearances during the night, and let's not forget sleep as well, so that's why I didn't record anything while we were promoting "Gunshots". But it saddens me how people think it's really easy to record an album, to create something in good quality and exactly how you want it to sound. When I didn't put out an album by the end of the summer, many people started speculating that maybe I have problems with my record labels Indigo Records and Republic Records, some of them started speculating that I'm pregnant, and some of them said that I got dropped, when the truth is... I was just trying to figure out what I want to do and how I want to do it. So yeah, I definitely feel the pressure, and that is why I stopped being so active on my Twitter and other social media websites, I stopped listening to people's opinions as well, I just... focused on my record."
On her decision to stay with Disney for few more years: "I think that many of my fans think that I should depart from Disney already, but I don't think I'm completely ready to do that yet, and I don't think my fans are ready for that as well. I grew up on Disney and it was the platform that launched me as a singer, dancer and actress as well, and I don't want to abandon my younger fanbase so quickly like that. This new show, K.C. Undercover, that premieres in a few weeks, is going to be the show that helps me to transist from a Disney girl to a young adult. I don't know for how many seasons I will do this show, but it depends on how many people watch it and how many people like it. But this show is really dear to me, not only because it's an awesome Disney show that could remind people of older Disney shows like That's So Raven and the others, but also because I'm producing it. To produce your own show - it's completely new experience that I never thought I could experience, and it's pretty hard, I didn't know it was that hard to produce a TV show, but I honestly enjoy it, I love challenges, I love hard work, and that's why I'm doing this thing."
On her 2015 plans: "I have a lot of stuff planned for 2015. My number one priority is probably going to be the release of my next album, which should be released in Q2, I guess. I'm really excited to release it, because I've been working on it for quite some time now, and it's shaping up to be really good, and I'm excited to share it with my fans and let them hear it. It's been a challenging proccess to record this album, at some point I felt that I was being rushed, but now everything is working out pretty fine. Harmony Samuels, a guy who knows how to create excellent music, is executive producing the album - he is the one who helps me pick out the tracks for the album, and he's the one who usually helps me to reach out to various producers and songwriters in music business. Also in 2015, I want to release my first fashion line, I have some early designs, but it's nothing too serious yet, althought I'm going to do everything to put it out. Obviously, I have my TV show, a Disney Channel show, called K.C. Undercover coming out next year. What else... Oh, I'll probably go on tour as well, so that's pretty exciting as well."
On her favorite music right now: "I'm in love with everything that gets released nowadays, to be honest. I loved FKA twigs' new album, I think it's super dope and excellent, and it's something so unique and original, that it's always on my shuffle. I've been listening to a lot of rhythmic and pop lately, I love Justin Bieber's new song "Memphis", I think that it's really great and awesome, I always turn it up in the car whenever his song comes on the radio. I think that Justin is a really great performer and an artist, he's really talented and he always commits to anything he creates and works hard to make it succeed. That's what I adore about him and I hope I'll manage to work with him on something soon. I'm enjoying Taylor's new song "Style" as well, it's really catchy, I love to sing along. And "Waves", I heard it for the first time on the radio this morning, and first, I couldn't recognize who is singing the song, but I instantly Shazamed the song and found out that it's by the one and only Christina Aguilera. I think it was produced by Mark Ronson if I'm right, he's an amazing producer, and the song that he produced for Christina is amazing and just flawless. I love the sound of that song, it's catchy and it never gets old, I've been listening to that song this whole day and I still can't get over the fact how perfect it is."
On her bald fashion choices: "People think that I sometimes I cross the line with the outfits that I wear when I walk down the red carpets or go to various events, but I don't think that you can ever cross the line when it comes to fashion. I'm a girl that likes to risk and I always try out new things whenever I get a chance to do that. I love to risk with my style and with my outfits, I try to stay as original as possible because I find it pretty boring when you do the same thing over and over again. It's not fun and it's not entertaining. Besides, fashion is like a classy way to express yourself, to express how you're feeling and to express your deepest dreams. I attended AMAs few months ago, and I wore Diana Ross inspired outfit with huge curly hair, a fake septum ring, gold-ish outfit and bright blue bra. Some people thought I crossed the line with that one, but I think that I just decided to risk a bit and try out something else. These days there are a lot of chances to experience with your style - you can basically clip in some hair, pull on a weave, get a fake septum ring, go over the top with makeup and do stuff like that, and so... Why shouldn't we risk with our style if we are able to do that?"

As long as it's not an official tour, you can do these type of concerts.

Just like I said before, promo is free, you don't have to spend your points on that.

I might do something interesting tomorrow, but it depends.
Do y'all want a mini-game? The prize would be +10K bonus copies.

TAYLOR STRIKES DEAL WITH VICTORIA'S SECRET    
Taylor Swift has quite a history with Victoria Secret. Not only has she been a performer at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show two years in a row (2013 and 2014 respectively) but she’s also friends with majority of the angels themselves. Lily Aldridge and Karlie Kloss are both two major Victoria’s Secret models who can been seen visiting Taylor Swift in her New York City/Tribeca apartment or walking alongside Taylor for a cute luncheon or dinner date. But it seems like Taylor Swift and the Victoria’s Secret Angels will be getting even closer as Miss Swift struck a deal with the owners of the lingerie brand.
The deal earned miss Taylor Swift a total of $6 million in cash along with a guaranteed spot as a performer at next year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The deal was made after Victoria’s Secret initially made the offer. The offer asked Swift to grant Victoria’s Secret the use of her material for their advertisements, fashion shows, and other ways of usage. But the most interesting and exciting part about it all? Victoria’s Secret have asked Taylor Swift to become a Victoria’s Secret Angel herself. And what did America’s Sweetheart and World’s Biggest Popstar say? She said yes! “She was really hesitant about it at first. That was before we even mentioned any cash. This was just us asking her in a meeting about a month ago when she was doing the 2014 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. I remember her telling us that she was “nervous” about how’d she look and how it’d be to be in lingerie on camera. Once we let her see that $6 million dollar check she said yes right away. It was a great deal for both of us. She gets promotion for her music and we use her to attract more customers. The biggest lingerie brand and the biggest popstar in the world teaming together? It’s a no-brainer.”
Swift too has talked about the deal in a press release today. “I never really thought I’d be modeling for Victoria’s Secret. I definitely would’ve said now a couple of years back but you know now, in the present, I feel confident and beautiful enough to go out there and just do it. There’s nothing wrong with feeling confident and sexy. And that’s how I feel. Plus, Karlie kinda pressured me into accepting the deal too. Her and Simon were both really excited for me, and the other models have shown me tremendous support. I’m ready for it.”
The announcement was made today and the first ever Victoria’s Secret commercial/advertisement featuring Taylor Swift in the Spring collection was released today. It featured the girls walking in numerous transparent cube like figures that shined in different shades of pink and white. A guitar riff sounded and it was recognized to be Taylor’s current single ‘Style’. As soon as the cut version of it transitioned to the chorus, the boxes started to illuminating revealing all the girls in lingerie. The second to last model featured was Karlie Kloss who looked gorgeous in pink lingerie. Lastly, shown was Taylor who wore a beautifully patterned black and lace bra, along with panties that matched. Her hair was styled for a rough but ‘sexy’ kind of look and she modeled for the camera, her lips pressed against the glass of the cube and her hands running up her legs.
When the commercial was uploaded to Victoria’s Secret youtube channel, it immediately garnered massive views, being watched over 1,000,000 times in the first half hour. It drew in some major streaming points for Swift’s new single, ‘Style’, which is on her upcoming Greatest Hits album, due out next week.

Jessica Simpson on Ryan Seacrest
Ryan Seacrest: Your new song ( Teenage Superstar) seems to be everywhere right now. Can you tell us what it's about?
“I got in touch with Dr. Luke a while ago, and he was like, I got a new track for you, I know you are going to love it. Sia Furler and I wrote the lyrics to the instrumental he had, she helped me get a routine; I've been really into writing for this record. The song - it's basically about me growing up. I was this mean, unhappy girl, now I am a hot, happy momma."
Ryan Seacrest: Can you tell me a little bit more about your new record?
"I actually worked with a lot of new producers, Dr. Luke being one of them. I also worked with Mike Will Made It on a track called Digital Rockstar. I am so excited to share it with the world. It's really me, something none of my records have been so far. Also, I am a hot momma - some of the tracks for the record are absolutely sex."
Ryan Seacrest: What's the record called?
"I am not sure yet. I think it's gonna be Eve Of A New Beginning, but I'm not sure yet."
Ryan Seacrest: You took a lot of time off since your last album. What did you do?
"Yes. I did so much during my time off. I became a mom, but also went to Hawaii for example, the first time I had just been on a vacation by myself. I just wandered about on my own, I turned off my phone. It was so extraordinarily freeing for me. I've grown up so much since my last record."
Ryan Seacrest: Can you tell us a little bit more about the Times Square Ball Drop that you're going to be a part of?
"Yes, I'll be performing Imagine by John Lennon. It's kind of a tradition for singers to perform that song just before the big ball drop, and I ams o excited to be a part of it."
Ryan Seacrest: Will you also be performing at Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve? I am hosting.
"Yes, I will be. I'll be doing my new single, Teenage Superstar. I might do some other songs, not sure which ones yet. I got so many hot tracks. I am so excited to perform, I am ready. I will also be joining you on American Idol by the way (smiles)."
Ryan Seacrest: Excited to see you perform, but for now let's play your new smash. Ladies and gentleman - this is Teenage Superstar by Queen of Teen Pop Jessica Simpson.

Did you think it all through? All these things will catch up to you
And time can heal but this won't, so if you’re coming my way just don’t
Oh, it’s so sad to think about the good times, you and I
'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you’ve done
'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
