Natasha Bedingfield doesn't like autotune

Natasha Bedingfield has revealed that she does not like songs that use Auto-Tune.

The singer, whose new album is called Strip Me, said that she avoided using any studio trickery on her new LP because she wanted to create songs without "gimmicks".

"I don’t put Auto-Tune on it. I don’t like that," she told Music Rooms quotes her as saying.

"That’s why the album is called Strip Me because it is pop music, it is still anthemic, structured songs but I feel like I am stripping it back from all the layers and the gimmicks - I’m doing it intentionally."

The 'Unwritten' star also revealed that she never planned to become a singer, admitting that she only ever intended to write songs for other artists.

She explained: "That was my aim. I was just going to write for other people. Every person I worked with was like ‘Oh, you should keep that for yourself - you should actually be an artist’. So at that point I did it really.”

Strip Me is released in the US on December 7.


I freaking LOVE her. I am so excited for this album.

P!nk is preggers

Singer Pink will soon be picking pinks or blues for her nursery, as she and husband Carey Hart are reportedly expecting their first child.

"She's 12 weeks along," a source tells Us Weekly. "She wanted to do it between tours, when she has some time off."

Pink, real name Alecia Moore, and Hart haven't had the easiest matrimonial road. After a courtship beginning in 2001, the pair got engaged in 2005 and married a few months later. In 2008, their separation was announced, with reconciliation following this February.

"Pink was determined to make the relationship solid. Now she's really happy, and she's excited she got pregnant so fast! She'll be a brilliant mother," the magazine source added.

Calls to a Pink rep were not immediately returned.

Christina is proud of Bionic and talks new album

Christina Aguilera has insisted that she is proud of her Bionic album.

The singer, whose latest record has sold less than half a million copies worldwide, said that its commercial failure was due to "promotional issues" and being forced to finish the record shortly after filming her new movie Burlesque.

"I was really proud of that record. I think there was a lot of promotion issues, coming from a standpoint of how everything resulted," she told Collider.

"I started recording that record before I went in to make the movie and, by the time I ended the movie and came out of it, I had to jump right into that record.

"By the time I was done with the movie, I was just a completely different person, and I had new things to say and new points of view."

The 'Beautiful' star also admitted that she is a "changed woman" since making the LP, and is keen to start work on a new album.

She continued: "Now, I’m in a place where I’m very much in an introspective state of mind, have a lot to say, and have grown leaps and bounds from that film.

"I’m a changed woman. So, I’m very much ready to actually make a new record. Nothing is ever a setback. If anything, it just motivates you for what’s next."



Christina Aguilera has revealed that her collaboration with rapper T.I. will be released as a single.

The 'Hurt' singer, who is currently promoting her new movie Burlesque, recorded the track with the hip-hop star shortly before he was sent to prison for 11 months for violationg his parole conditions.

"Yeah, he's now incarcerated in jail," she told Now Radio.

"I did a song with Alex The Kid, the producer, called 'Castle Walls'. It's probably going to be released as one of the singles off his upcoming album."

Discussing her own forthcoming record, she revealed: "I am very, very excited about that. Yeah, I am really looking forward to the next chapter in my life and really putting the new person I've become on record."



Bionic was and is a great album. To bad it flopped HARD. Hopefully her next album will do better.

Ashlee Simpson's album will be more "mature"

I am working on it, but I’m taking my time,” Simpson tells E! News. “My little boy is my priority, I’m having a blast, but [it will be released] sometime late next year.”



OK, so now we have a release date. Kind of.

Another interesting piece of news about the album comes from an encounter a fan had with Ashlee. According to the fan, Ashlee said the new album would be “mature” because she’s older now (she turned 26 in September), and she referenced Florence + the Machine as an influence. The fan also asked if it would be “mature” like “Fiona Apple, Jewel and Alanis Morisette”, and Ashlee said yes. She then mentioned that it would still be “upbeat and fun” because she “can’t just stand there like how a ‘folk’ singer would”.
