I haven't been in here all day, you're not even playing anymore and you still can't get me off of your mind. I understand that since Robbie is gone you have nobody's ass to stick your head up, but girl save it.

maybe the game should be on pause for like 2 weeks or something, so we can all take a small break and prepare ourselves for the next chart?

also I was thinking that if we had to do a CAL spin off it should be oriented towards the movie industry. I think Giselle or someone tried doing it last year but didn't end up happening

I think that's a tad unnecesary.
Surely if people need a little "inspirational" break, they can take on themselves? I'm sure if we just pause the game for 2 weeks, half of the players will not return or forget

Ellie Goulding on Britain's Got Talent (400+)
Yesterday, a semi-finalist by the name of Casey Kay sang Ellie Goulding's hit song Asleep. The performance was praised by all
the judges. Many people think she has what it takes to win this competition and Ellie's song started rising on the UK iTunes
chart after Casey's performance. The results will be announced in a few minutes but before that, Ellie Goulding will perform.
She is currently promoting her single Asleep, her album will be released next week on Monday so don't forget to buy it then!
The stage had lots of sticks and dirt on the ground. There were large trees going up to the ceiling and moon hanging down.
A figure appeared at the top of the stage. Ellie Goulding slowly descended wearing a white dress. She was laying down on the
ground as lightning stuck right beside her. It stuck again, this time, it was very close to her head. Ellie stood up and looked
around, she picked a microphone up off the ground and started singing Asleep. Towards the chorus, the stage got a bit darker.
She sang the first high note from the chorus and raised one of her hands. The wind started moving the trees and her hair. It
stopped when the chorus ended. Ellie walked closer to the audience, you could hear all the sticks breaking under her feet.
The sound of thunderstorms surrounded the stage and the wind came back just in time for the chorus. The trees were shaking and
looked like they were gonna fall. Leaves were falling down and filling the stage. During the bridge, lightning struck one of the
trees. It collapsed and almost hit Ellie but she stepped out of the way. She stood on top of it just as it started snowing. The
snow was all over the stage and she lay down on it. Three female dancers entered the stage just in tome for the last chorus.
They had long black dresses and they danced around the stage. All the trees were falling one by one and the performance finished.
It stopped snowing and the stage went dark. The audience clapped and the host announced the results one minute later. Casey Kay
made it to the finals by singing Ellie's song. Download the song on iTunes now or steam is on Yourube, Spotify or Vevo. Don't
forget to request it on radio as well!

Ellie Goulding on Loose Women (500+)
Interviewer: This next guest has two #1 albums in the UK and three platinum hits, please welcome... Ellie Goulding
Ellie: Hi thanks for having me here.
Interviewer: So what's going on with your new album, there have been rumours about some sort of delay.
Ellie: Yes, unfortunately it has been delayed. I will release it in Create A Label 7. It's just really unfortunate.
There's a family emergency and these will be my last two days of promoting. I'm really sorry about, I don't want to
release it and just let it go to waste if I'm not gonna promote it. My fans have to trust me because it is worth the
wait. The whole era will be continued in CAL7 and Asleep is still the lead single. When I do decide to release it,
there will be no more push backs, I'll just drop it.
Interviewer: What's this family emergency that you have to take care of.
Ellie: My mom is getting a sick and I have to help he through this tough time. I'll be staying with her until she
recovers so I hope my fans can understand this difficult situation. This album will come out, just not this month.
I worked really hard so it won't go to waste, I can't just release it and let it flop. This will be my biggest era,
I'm sure of it.
Interviewer: So you'll be staying in the UK, will you completely go off the radar?
Ellie: I'll be staying here in the UK with my family but I won't be there 24/7. I might do some concerts around Europe
or promote Asleep a bit more. I'd love to release this album but I can't my mom is very important to me so I have to
help her through this.
Interviewer: Will you continue filming your show Skeleton?
Ellie: Yes, I will. I'll have to fly out to LA every week and come back in the evening. Six episodes are already
shot and there are only thirteen in total so I'll only do this seven times.
Interviewer: That sounds like a lot of work, what are you going to do at home?
Ellie: I won't really have to do much cleaning or cooking, I'll hire someone to clean and have food delivered, I'm not
good at either of those things. I'll definitely be writing music for my next album, maybe I'll add some songs onto this
album. I'll have more time to run and exercise. I'll get to catch up with TV shows and maybe I'm gonna read some books.
It kind of will be like time off but all that means is that there won't be a big break between the fourth and fifth album.
Interviewer: Thanks for coming here. Ellie will be performing her single Asleep after the break.
Ellie was dressed in casual cloths, just like at the interview. She didn't do any dancing for this performance but showed
off her breathtaking vocals while the live band played the instrumental.

Lady Gaga - PARTYNAUSEOUS (Lyric Video)
A lyric video for Lady Gaga's PARTYNAUSEOUS was uploaded last night to LadyGagaVEVO. The video features drag queens Willam Belli, Adore Delano, Alaska Thunder****, Bianca Del Rio, Jinkx Monsoon and RuPaul haself from RuPaul's Drag Race.
The Queens of Drag and Queen of Pop are dressed as Disney princesses; Willam Belli as Aurora, Alaska as Rapunzel, Bianca as Snow White, Jinkx as Belle, Adore as Jasmine, Mother Ru as Cinderella and Gaga as Ariel. The lyrics play throughout the video.
The verses see the queens against a cheap green screen with a princess castle in the background. It is filmed in an amateur style. They are having a fabulous tea party and strutting down a runway.
In the chorus build up Gaga pours alcohol into all the tea cups and shares a bong with the queens. In the chorus images of trippy lsd patterns, cute kittens and explicit gay **** images flash on the green screen and the princesses turn into villains; Willam as Mother Gothel, Alaska as Yzma, Adore as the Evil Queen, Bianca as Maleficent, Jinkx as Cruella, RuPaul as the Evil Stepmother and Gaga as Ursula in a fat suit and a fake double chin (joking about her own weight). They all get #PARTYNAUSEOUS.
The views for the video are sky rocketing on Vevo and YouTube and is causing lots of controversy in the media. Only Gaga.

MTV UNPLUGGED SPECIAL
(PERFORMANCES + MTV UPLUGGED ALBUM AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE)
(PROMO POSTER)
(ALBUM COVER FOR MTV UNPLUGGED SESSION)
Taylor Swift's promotion for her brand new album 'Electric Princess' has been quite heavy as the singer has visited multiple shows such as The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Good Morning America, the KPop program Music Core, and most recent the singer-songwriter gave an electrifying performance at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards where she performed her second single 'Cathedrals' and also managed to take home two awards, including the highest honor of the night, the VMA for Video of The Year. Taylor expressed great gratitude for all those who voted for her to win Video of The Year and oddly seemed to have her opinion of MTV changed. So much that when they offered Taylor her very own special episode of MTV Unplugged, the singer accepted. Taylor spoke about the hour long episode that would air on MTV tonight in an exclusive interview with MTV themselves. In fact a clip from it was played regularly during commercial breaks of MTV programs, creating hype and and anticipation for the mini-acoustic concert Taylor Swift would be giving. "I'm really excited that I get to do an MTV Unplugged Special mini-concert thing. I've kind of been wanting to do one for awhile and I think that the new record, 'Electric Princess', has a few songs that would be perfect for the event. So yeah, I'm definitely excited and I'll be seeing you all there this Friday. So make sure to tune in, please!" Taylor said in the clip before a little logo of MTV Unplugged with Taylor's name showed up, along with the time the special would be on.
Taylor opened up her MTV Unplugged Live Special with a song from her fourth studio album 'RED'. That song was 'I Knew You Were Trouble'. The opening guitar riff kicked in as the audience cheered in approval as Taylor then began singing the Max Martin produced track. It was quite the throwback and was interesting to hear stripped down to just guitar (electric and acoustic, along with all live instruments). The performance called for an extra bit added in, an extended bridge in which Taylor added more lyrics. "When the saddest fear comes creeping in, that all we really had was nothing, every new beginning would meet it's end, that you never loved me, or her or anyone, or anything…" Taylor then would nail the high note in the song before she would move on to the next song.
"This next song is actually quite popular amongst all of you guys. My faithful and beautiful fans" Taylor said in a romantic tone as she blew out a kiss to an audience member who shouted out their love for the singer-songwriter. "I wrote this one about two or three months ago and it was actually the last song I wrote for the record. It just so happens that it's the current and second single off the new album too. This next song is called 'Cathedrals' and if you guys know it, which I know you do, sing a long." Taylor would then pick up her iconic all wooden guitar and perform the song acoustically, serving Mariah teas with the quality of vocals she was delivering during the final chorus of the song. Scaling her range with ease, she hit some great ad-libs and even explored her pretty falsetto range a bit with the song.
Taylor would then finish off her entire eight song set for the special by performing album tracks from Electric Princes such as 'Sex Kitten', 'In Love For A Night', the highly talked about title track 'Electric Princess', the Knocks produced 'The One', and the fiery uptempo 'Manhattan Girls'. The last song performed was Taylor's last or current number one 'Loverboy' which was produced by Giorgio Armani. The performance for 'Loverboy' was true to it's original production as she performed it in it's original arrangement. "I want to thank you all so much for being here with me tonight and for all those at home who tuned in. I'm so glad I get to share this record with you all. It's hard to believe it's my seventh. Don't think I take anything for granted because I know this could all be gone tomorrow if I didn't have you. Thank you so much and good night." Taylor would then wave bye to the audience before exiting the stage. The viewers for the special were high, setting some all time high records not only for an MTV Unplugged Special, but for an MTV program in general, scoring 7.5 million viewers. The album was majorly beneficial for Taylor's album which saw a huge spike in sales from the special. Audio of the performances was made available for purchase on iTunes. It sits at #3 on iTunes currently. You can buy Taylor Swift's seventh studio album 'Electric Princess' on iTunes and in stores now.

Ellie Goulding on BBC Radio 1 (500+)
Interviewer: Hey Ellie, we just heard that your album will be pushed back, that's too bad.
Ellie: Yeah, I had this whole thing planned out. But I think everything could still work out. Originally I
was supposed to promote Asleep for two weeks and then release the album but things got pushed back. Now my
mom got sick so I need to spend time with her and take care of her. I don't want to just release the album
and let it flop, it's much better than my third album and I want people to see that. I won't disappear
completely but I won't be promoting as much any more. Asleep had a good run but I won't be forcing anyone to
listen to it by constantly promoting it. The album will not come before Create A Label 7, neither will the second
single. I noticed that lots of people aren't promoting anymore so this could be my chance to go Top 3 on the charts.
Since this is my last week of full promotion, I'll make the most of it by doing the best performances and interviews
I can.
Interview: Since we're not getting the album or second single any time soon, can you give us some details about it?
Ellie: I guess I can. I second single is called Retro, I filmed the music video and it looks amazing, I love it. It's
kinda R&B or disco like Beyonce's Blow and Bruno Mars' Treasure. There's only one controversial song on the album,
it's called Get W.I.L.D. and was meant to be the first or second single. I didn't want to start the era off that way
so I didn't release it, but I might in the future, unless I make even better songs and put them on the album instead.
Interviewer: That sounds interesting, it's different for you because you've never done sexual songs.
Ellie: Yeah, this is what the whole album is about, it's completely experimental, Halcyon was too and it came out great.
Another song I made for the album is Talisman. It's indie mixed with a little bit of EDM. At first it sounded really bad
but I got a really good producer to work on it and it turned out perfect.
Interviewer: Will you release any songs from the album while you're away?
Ellie: No but I decided to make a really short EP with like five or six covers. One of them will be Beyonce's Drunk In
Love, it's one of my favorite songs of 2014. I haven't decided on the other songs yet, but it'll come out next month.
Interviewer: Ok, we're out of time, now you're going to sing your single Asleep right?
Ellie: Yes.
Interviewer: I hope you come back soon and I can't wait to hear your album!
Ellie sang Asleep with an acoustic guitar. The video was uploaded on Youtube and got almost a million views. Buy Asleep
and the Remix EPs on iTunes now. Watch the official music video on Youtube and Vevo.

Taylor Swift as Eden Mendel
Paige Elliot as Ava Mendel
More cast members to be reveled
A major release came via The Hollywood Reporter today as one of the most anticipated films of the year was announced, along with a one minute and thirty second trailer. Released along with the trailer was a minute long clip of the movie. The movie was none other than the highly anticipated Steve McQueen directed 'Kin', starring American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and veteran actress and pop star Paige Elliot. It marks the first film Taylor Swift has ever had a major role in and the first film the two ladies have starred in together. Anticipation for the film began building about two months ago when Taylor Swift mentioned in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that she'd scored a major film role. A role in a blockbuster that would perhaps make her one of the top actresses in the movie industry. Later information was revealed about the film, as a watered down version of the plot was released. A historical fiction film about the tale of two Aryan girls in the midst of the Holocaust, it instantly caused much buzz and even some controversy from people who found it a tad bit offensive to those affected by the genocide that has been one of the most tragic events in the history mankind. Both Taylor Swift and Paige spoke about the meaning and plot of the film and explained the reasons for making the film.
"The film isn't at all disrespecting to those who were affected by something so awful. But you know no matter how much you want to forget something so sick and wrong happened, you just can't. I feel like through this film we're giving you insight of how it really was in those camps. What the Jews really went through when they were there in the camps. It was grueling and all that you will see on the screen. It's a powerful film that will really leave you changed from the person you were before. I watched a screening of it recently and it made me so much more grateful for the good life I'd had given to me. It's very realistic but has a really interesting and fascinating twist on it." Taylor told The Hollywood Reporter who was also in the audience for that screening, agreeing with Taylor Swift that it was indeed "powerful" and absolutely "stunning". The film's expected released date is February 2015 but the film will premiere at some film festivals prior to it's release to worldwide theaters. It too becomes one of the only films to be released worldwide in all countries simultaneously. "We think it's best marketing wise to release it all at once. The girls have very busy and tight schedules and the hype around the film is massive. We're certain it will do amazingly well."
The trailer of the film premiered today, showing clips of the film, specifically of Taylor and Paige who are German and can be classified as 'Aryan'. The first clip seen in the trailer was Taylor and Paige hiding with their family in the basement of their home. Taylor's seen crying as Paige looks on in worry. A moment later they hear a footstep and the door opens as they are drug out by SS officers. Clips of the family are being sorted along with the betrayal of Eden (Taylor) by Ava (Paige) as Ava chooses to go with an SS officer, Klaus () instead of the rest of her family. Taylor looks on in betrayal as the hurt in her eyes is shown in slow motion as Paige looks at her with a smirk. Taylor is then dragged into the camp with the rest of her family. The clips that follow show previews of what happens in the film. Throughout the trailer, an orchestra version of Taylor Swift's second single from her seventh studio album 'Electric Princess' is used.
The clip used in words:
Ava and Eden continue their lives. Eden works at a local bookshop, while Adam, Eli and Alexandra tend to a self-run bakery. Ava remains unemployed, using up the family money to make herself look good and buy luxury items they can't afford, up until Hitler's reign in Germany begins to bring terror upon the Jews. In May 1944, while their town is practically abandoned, the Mendels remain in hiding, having avoided being captured, until SS officers run through their town quickly and are alerted by Eden's frightful sobbing. Despite a fight put up from Adam and Ava, the family is captured and taken into custody, where they are transported with other Jews via train to a temporary holding center outside of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Fearful of the stories, Eden continues to cry the entire time, and is comforted by Adam and Eli, though Ava appears angry rather than sad. During their journey, Alexandra appears to become ill, getting a high fever and showing severe flu symptoms. Finally, the family is split up during a transport to Auschwitz, with Eli being forced onto a different train car than the others. During the trip, Eden spends the entirety worrying about Eli, and Adam tends to Alexandra during her illness while Ava constantly throws fits of anger, attacking other people in their car. When several other Jews on the car fall ill due to exposure to Alexandra over time, some healthy members opt to kill the ill to save themselves. However, Eden and Adam attempt to prevent this from happening, though one man attacks Alexandra.
However, they are all cut short upon arrival to Auschwitz, where the family reunites with Eli. They quickly go through a sorting process, where Ava and Eden are called out, showing signs of being Aryan with their blonde hair and blue eyes. Ava confesses they are Germanic, even telling the story of their mothers death. Insisting the girls do not belong in the concentration camp, one SS officer, Hans Klauser, attempts to take the girls away. However, Eden insists on remaining loyal, and insisting on staying with her adoptive family despite Hans' offer. On the other hand, Ava jumps at the chance, and insults Eden for being stupid enough to not want to live. Eden tearfully reprimands Ava for her actions, and continues on with the other Jews as Ava is taken away with Hans.
