Taylor Swift’s New Song Off 1989 Will Never Go Out Of ‘Style’: Listen

by 27 mins ago

Are you ready for more Taylor Swift? Good, because there’s a new Target commercial starring the “Shake It Off” singer, and it contains about 30 seconds of a never-before-heard track off of 1989.

“You got the long hair, slicked back, white T-shirt,” she sings, “And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt/ And when we go crashing down, we come back every time/ Because we never go out of style.”

Although the YouTube description for the shortened version of the spot suggests that the song is titled “Never Go Out Of Style,” that is probably just a case of poor wording. (The error appears corrected in the longer version’s description.) The song is likely the highly anticipated “Style,” which Taylor teased in her Rolling Stone cover story last month.

As in hinted in RS, the song’s lyrics definitely seem to conjure up one of Swift’s ex-boyfriends, Harry Styles of One Direction — the rumored inspiration for another recently released 1989 track, “Out Of The Woods.”

The “Steal My Girl” singer has been known to rock a plain, white T on the regular, and he definitely sports a long, slicked-back hairstyle. But, I guess we’ll have to wait until the song drops in full to know for sure.

Taylor Swift’s fifth studio album, 1989, will be released on October ...

‘Sons Of Anarchy’ Eyeballs A Big Bloody Twist

by 15 mins ago

“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”

Jax Teller began the final season of “Sons of Anarchy” pulling teeth out of a man’s skull. Now, his violent acts have cost one of his closest allies an eye, and quite possibly his life. Somewhere in the great beyond, Hammurabi is laughing at the irony. (And yes, Hammurabi is a “Sons of Anarchy” fan. Who knew?)

No more time to waste. We’re in full-on SPOILER mode to talk about “Greensleeves,” one of the biggest episodes of this very bloody season.

A New Shot of Juice

FX

Somehow, Juice’s continued survival isn’t the biggest story of the night — even if it is a big deal. Against all conventional wisdom, SAMCRO elects to keep Juice alive, and in active play. In order to earn his way back into the club’s good graces, Juice is sent on what could very well be a suicide mission to get himself locked up in prison, so that he can kill Henry Lin on Jax’s behalf.

“I know it’s a big risk,” Jax says, in what’s easily one of the biggest understatements in the show’s seven-season history. Chibs insists that all Juice wants is to return to the fold of the club. Is he right?

Juice does as he’s told, shooting at cops and getting locked up as a result. But the plan doesn’t fully work. Instead of landing in gen-pop alongside Lin, Juice is locked away in a cell for two. He gains a roommate who claims ...

Prison Can’t Keep Meek Mill From Dropping A New Song, Or Tweeting

by 1 min ago

Meek Mill is not officially a free man yet, but the Maybach Music Group rapper just let a new song go free for the streets titled, “F–k You Mean.”

The Philly representer hasn’t tweeted from his Twitter account since July, but somehow, someway, he got the word out about his new song.

Coincidentally — or maybe not — the hard-charging track features Lil Boosie Boosie Badazz who was just released from prison himself earlier this year.

“I ask yo b—h do all this money make her nervous, she doing good and Imma pay her for her service,” Mill raps. “When bosses talkin’ shut yo mouth if you a worker, cause I been workin’ chasing money like I’m hurtin’/ Getting p—y in my Maybach, I think the driver heard us.”

The Baton Rouge MC, who recently dropped the “Lil” from his stage name, jumps in with the same lyrical fury as his cohort.

“I keep a hundred grand in these Robin jeans, what the f–k you mean?/ B—hes left me in prison, they threw away they dreams/ I’m the leader of a Mad Max murder team.”

No word on whether this banger will end up on Meek’s upcoming album, Dreams Worth More Than Money, but even if it doesn’t make the cut, this is a sign that he’ll be bringing the heat when he comes home.

7 Nice Guys Who Didn’t Finish Last

by 28 mins ago

Avoiding a scathing sexual review on something called a “Dude Database” would be a relief for most, but for Jake Rosati, it’s the pits.

On tonight’s “Awkward” episode, Jake, who’s reformed since his brief tenure as a jerk, lamented the fact that he was seen as nothing more than an innocent puppy dog by Palos Hills’ ladies. While Matty McKibben was likened to a player and “#ManWhore McKibben,” Jake was the emblem of an innocent golden boy who’d earn resounding approval from your parents. GROSS!

Jake’s still struggling a bit to accept his role as nice guy, but if he needs a little push, here are seven upstanding gentlemen who prove there’s no harm in not being a d***.

When your teacher — and later, principal — lives next door, you’ve got to mind your Ps and Qs. But even if Mr. Feeny were miles away, we suspect Cory wouldn’t have been any less amicable. The “Boy Meets World” character only ever loved one girl, his shoulder was tailor-made for leaning on and he still managed to be a favorite of his high school and college classmates.

Ted’s quest to find a soulmate on “How I Met Your Mother” was, at times, more endearing to ladies than a goldendoodle who’d been conditioned to shake hands. It took him awhile to find his leading lady but find her, he did. If only he hadn’t ...

Kesha Swore ‘Dr. Luke Never Made Sexual Advances’ In 2011

by 38 mins ago

Last week, Kesha filed a lawsuit against Dr. Luke, claiming that he had abused and, in one instance, sexually assaulted her in the years that they had worked together.

Newly unsealed court documents from the past, however, appear to contradict those allegations, at least if taken at face value.

“Dr. Luke never made sexual advances at me,” the “Timber” singer, born Kesha Rose Sebert, is quoted swearing under oath in a deposition from 2011.

She was in the middle of a legal battle with her former management company, DAS Communications, which had sued her and Luke in 2010 over a contractual dispute and alleged owed finances.

The 27-year-old artist denied that she and Dr. Luke — a.k.a. Lukasz Gottwald, the man who executive-produced her second studio album, Warrior — had ever had an “intimate relationship.”

She also denied that he had ever given her coke or roofies, although she said she didn’t know whether he had ever given her “drugs that are not purchasable at the pharmacy.”

When asked if she had ever woken up in his hotel bed, unable to recall what had happened, she answered: “I don’t remember.”

In another deposition, Kesha’s mother, Pebe Sebert, denied prior knowledge of a sexual relationship between her daughter and Luke. She also denied ever hearing about the producer supplying Kesha with drugs of any kind.

No Platinum Albums In 2014? One Platinum-Selling Producer Weighs In

by 33 mins ago

We all know that record sales aren’t what they used to be, but what’s gone down in 2014 is staggering: Not one artist’s album has hit the million-selling mark this year, according to Forbes.

Not one.

If that trend continues, 2014 will be the first year since platinum-certification was introduced by the RIAA in 1976 that no musician has hit that mark, according to Death And Taxes. Only one album has gone platinum this year: the Frozen soundtrack. But with releases from industry heavyweights like Taylor Swift, Eminem, Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj planned for Q4, we might yet have a platinum-selling artist this year.

It’s certainly an indication of the state of the music industry, and Irv Gotti, the platinum-selling producer and co-founder of Mudrer Inc Records, doesn’t like it.

“The business of music is OVER,” he captioned a photo on Instagram of a screenshot of the Death And Taxes article.

“Not 1 Album that has come out in 2014 is gonna be certified Platinum. That’s f–king crazy. Now don’t get me wrong. An artist can still come out and make some money. Doing shows. But for me. A label owner. And a Producer. My money was largely based on record sales. Which there isn’t any. Anymore.”

As a producer behind hits like Ja Rule’s “Always On Time,” DMX’s “What’s My Name?” and Jay Z’s “Can I Get A…” among many more, the Queens native would cash in on production credits.

“I used to charge 250k for 1 beat,” ...

Remember That Anti-Abortion Film Justin Bieber’s Mom Produced? Watch It Here

by 21 mins ago

Pattie Mallette is more than just the mother of internationally renowned superstar Justin Bieber. She’s also a film producer — remember?

Mallette made headlines back in early 2013 when it was reported that she had served as executive producer on a short film titled “Crescendo.” Why was this controversial? Well, depending on where your politics lie, you’d probably either classify the film’s message as anti-abortion or pro-life.

On Tuesday (October 21), the “Confident” singer’s mom tweeted that “Crescendo” was finally available to watch online, and here it is.

SPOILER ALERT, but the period piece revolves around a pregnant young woman who seeks to induce a miscarriage using a particular tea she acquires from an apothecary. Her efforts are in vain, and she is forced to give birth to a baby boy.

And do you know who that baby boy grew up to be? Justin Bieber Ludwig van Beethoven.

Yeah, we never said it was subtle.

So, Are Kylie Jenner and Tyga Dating? Mama Kris Says…

by 16 mins ago

As anyone will tell you, Kris Jenner knows all, so it was just a matter of time before she was asked to chime in on the rumors that 24-year-old rapper Tyga is dating her 17-year old daughter, Kylie.

The “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star called in to “On Air With Ryan Seacrest” on Tuesday (October 21) morning to talk about her new cookbook, “In The Kitchen With Kris.” Before long, however, she had to take a sidebar into the gossip headlines.

“Kylie isn’t dating anybody,” she said. “This whole little group of kids who have been around forever… They kind of travel as a pack, and they enjoy each other’s company.

“We all live in the same neighborhood. Tyga used to live across the street for a long time, and now he lives next door to Khloe. Everyone’s always around, and, with the way I cook, they’re not leaving.”

The “40 Mill” MC wasn’t as diplomatic this past weekend when he lashed out at an Instagram follower named @smartchik78 for calling him a “nasty a-pedophile” on a post of him and his son, King Cairo Stevenson.

“smartchik78 why u sound so hateful,” he wrote back. “U don’t know s—- bout my life but the fake s—- u read online. Worry about your sad boring life. U wish u can have a baby by a n—- like me and live this lifestyle.let me guess no one wants u ...

Someone Called Nelly’s Daughter A ‘Thot’ On Instagram, And, Well, He Wasn’t Happy

by 6 mins ago

You may think that you can just post a comment on a rapper’s Instagram without them noticing, but as Nelly and Tyga have now shown us, there’s a chance they might catch what you said — especially if it’s negative.

Over the weekend, Tyga lashed out at someone who had commented on a picture of him and his son, calling him a “pedophile” because of his rumored relationship with 17-year-old Kylie Jenner.

Nelly, it seems, is having similar issues with online antagonizers.

He recently posted a picture of his daughter, along with a Proud Poppa-style caption: “Awwwwwwww look at my babe..!!!! Wow STINK I am soo proud of the women you are becoming … But u will always be my lilgirl.. @love_mylife,” he wrote.

Among the hundreds of comments, a user named @fittedcapberto called the St. Louis native’s daughter a “thot” — and Nelly Mo was not pleased.

Spoiler alert: The rapper didn’t like that.

“I ain’t gone lie lil buddy I was Alil pissed when I first saw ya comment about my child Cuzz on real will slap the SH– out of you for talking about my babes,” he wrote. “But after I saw ya pics and saw how soft u look I decided to chill Cuzz I not wit the domestic violence…!! #NODAT.”
