Ciara unfollows Keri Hilson

Ciara has reportedly unfollowed Keri Hilson's Twitter account after she made comments about her low album sales.

The 'Work' singer, whose latest LP Basic Instinct entered the US album chart at number 44, is said to have deleted Hilson from her micro-blogging page after she told radio station Power 105.1: "I would like to do higher that 35k - I mean anyone would."

Ciara later tweeted: "Hear that a newcomer to power 105.1 morning show is really into talking about me! I love it! Keep promoting me! Glad 2 know i mean that much."

She later added: "While were off to this good day, let's have a toast to the douche bags, and have a toast for the assholes!"

Hilson's sophomore effort No Boys Allowed is predicted to sell 100,000 copies this week

Since its digital spy it could be fake but if true that is a douchebag move by Keri.

Michelle Branch Hopes to have record out by summer

Michelle Branch has revealed that her new album will mark a return to her pop roots.

The singer, whose last studio release was a country record as part of the Wreckers, said that she has been writing a "fun" and "creative" LP in the vein of her debut The Spirit Room in London with producers Jim Irvin and Julian Emrey.

Irvin and Emrey are best known for their work with McFly, Boyzone and David Guetta.

In a Ustream chat, she said: "I was in London - I've been working on a new record Julian Emrey and Jim Irvine, who are these two writers I met in LA. The first song we wrote together is a song called 'Spark', and we were so excited about it - it was the best writing day possible!

"It's great because they're writers and also producers. My favorite song that we wrote together was called 'The Story Of Us'. It's a song that's really personal to me."

She continued: "I have 11 or 12 songs ready to go right now and I'm going to go in studio in January and start recording them. I'm really confident I will have this record out by next summer."

On the album's sound, she said: "I hate putting labels on it because a good song is a good song. This record is more in the vein of my first record, which I would say was a pop record.

"The last record became so exhausting that this one is all about having fun and being creative again and not feeling like I have to write a specific way for a specific genre."

The 'Everywhere' star's last solo studio LP was 2003's Hotel Paper, which peaked at number 35 on the UK album chart and number two in the US.


Sounds promising. Can't wait!

The bands lead singer Hayley Williams confirmed the single "Playing God" was the last single and that the group are ready to move onto the next project.

During the MTV interview Hayley also discussed the making of the "Playing God" video.

"We put out 'Playing God' and did a video for it with our friend [director] Brandon [Chesbro], and I feel great. I feel like... we hit the finish line and we're golden. I love it. I'm proud," she explained.

"We filmed it at my house, so it was really personal, and I think that's how we like to keep things."

She added: "We had friends hanging out on set all day, and Brandon being one of our best friends, he directed it... It was just a fun, personal play on the lyrics of the song."


Can't wait for their new record.

Hilary Duff said she will return to music when she feels "really inspired"

Hilary Duff has revealed that she will return to music when she feels "really inspired".

The singer and actress, whose last album was 2007's Dignity, said that she is keen to release more music but is undecided on what her future record would sound like.

"You know what, I want to and I think that until I feel really inspired by something that I wanna do, like a way I want to go, I couldn't do it," she told Maney and Riley.

"I think one day I'll wake up and I'll say, 'That's exactly it!' you know, and then I could do it. But right now, I'm not focused on that."

Duff is currently promoting her first science-fiction novel, called Elixir.



Hopefully she will come back soon. Her music catalog is really amazing.

During one the callenges they played a song called Ain't Life Grand by Call The Cops where they show the caption at the bottom of the screen of what song is playing. The group is described as Rock/Pop/Dance music which is very true. Their songs are simply amazing. There album and EP are itunes and are 99 cents a song. These songs will be on my workout playlist. Everything is so high energy and super catchy. It is so a must buy for anyone that loves feel good music.

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”.
