tuesday talk news round up: hosted by Rhonda Shear from USA "UP...all night"




if you never saw the goddess that is rhonda shears hosting USA up all night, then take a seat, grab a bottle of arbor mist, and get ready to feel alive.


she was full of useful information, like push up bras. and hair bleaching/teasing techniques. things any good gay should know about. and speaking of, heres a little news round up for you:



1) XXXTINA'S RECORD LABEL KNOWS "NOT MYSELF TONITE" BLOWS
"Christina Aguilera’s comeback single ‘Not Myself Tonight’ hasn’t done too well on the US charts, managing only a #23 peak on the Billboard Hot 100.

Aguilera’s record label, RCA, have spoken out on their disappointment in the single’s performance. Check out what the label source had to say below.

New single soon soon?

Yes, there will be a new single on the way. But it’s not planned any earlier than the albums release.

Is RCA disappointed?

Yes, ‘Not Myself Tonight’ is what we believe to be a great song. Unfortunately it was analysed and “ripped” apart by the media – with comparisons and judgements.

Why did you guys fail so hard?

The pop music world is changing constantly, and we don’t view it as a fail. Sometimes things work, sometimes they don’t – and the time obviously wasn’t right for this release to achieve what it was meant to achieve.

Any big news??

Nope.

Pristine one more thing. You know if some countries like Japan or iTunes will have more tracks? Thanks.

iTunes tracks – you bet

Is “WooHoo” the second single?

Not at this stage, no. It was an intentional leak, and was not a leak of a 2nd single.

Have you heard the album? or seen the booklet?

Heard the album… yes. Can talk about it in depth, no.

Can you name a couple favorites?

I don’t know the names of them as they were played off the album to a group. I’ve known Glam from hearing it before, and there’s one towards the end of the album – I really sway towards it being the one featuring Peaches. Anyway, it’s awesome!

When Not Myself Tonight’s release, you mentioned several songs were considered as the 1st single… Care to share which were?

Glam, Bionic and another song that I forget were considered. It wasn’t Not Myself Tonight – that was a last hour decision by Christina and her reps. It wasn’t WooHoo either.

Woohoo leaked before anyone else leaks it! it was a on a risky bar of leaking !

Not really. If it leaked before the intentional leak, it wouldn’t have mattered.

Where they aware that ‘Not Myself Tonight’ was boycotted from radios?

Oh, they told us"



2) TWIEBER? JIEBER?

"Justin Bieber Fans Trick Twitter To Keep Him Trending High
May 17, 2010 - Digital and Mobile

By Antony Bruno, Denver

Oh those crazy kids and the Twitter. After the popular microblogging service made some changes to the process by which trending topics are ranked, Justin Bieber found himself knocked off the list. The changes now reward spikes in traffic over a short period of time rather than overall traffic around existing topics. That means new topics rise to the top faster than incumbent topics, affecting Bieber and others.

His fans responded by simply changing up his name, such as “Twiber” or “Jieber.” New takes on the name equals new spikes in traffic."



3) MUSIC AND THE CITY

The second instalment of Sex And The City hits cinemas on Friday 28th May, so you’ll soon find out who gets married (yep, there’s another wedding) and who gets the biggest hair in the flashback scenes. But what about the music?

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the tracklist includes Alicia Keys’ recent ode to New York (‘Empire State Of Mind (Part II)’) but she also found time to submit a surprisingly fresh cover of Blondie’s ‘Rapture’.

Dido returns with the dance-y ‘Everything To Lose’, while Jennifer Hudson (who played Carrie’s assistant in the first movie) has teamed up with Leona Lewis on ‘Love Is Your Colour’.

Things take a karaoke-esque turn when Liza Minnelli – who makes a cameo in the movie – takes on Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)’ and the movie’s leading ladies perform Helen Reddy’s ‘I Am Woman’ – but hey, true SATC girls do love a bit of karaoke (possibly) and the album’s tracklist perfectly sums up the general vibe of the show.

The full track listing is as follows:

1. Alicia Keys – “Rapture”
2. Dido – “Everything to Lose”
3. Cee-Lo – “Language of Love”
4. Erykah Badu – “Window Seat”
5. Natacha Atlas – “Kidda”
6. Michael McGregor – “Euphrates Dream”
7. Liza Minnelli – “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”
8. Ricki-Lee – “Can’t Touch It”
9. Alicia Keys – “Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down”
10. Jennifer Hudson and Leona Lewis – “Love Is Your Color”
11. Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon – “I Am Woman”
12. Sex and the City Men’s Choir – “If Ever I Would Leave You”
13. Sex and the City Men’s Choir – “Sunrise, Sunset”
14. Sex and the City Men’s Choir – “Till There Was You”
15. Shayna Steele, Jordan Ballard, Kamilah Marshall – “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered”
16. Liza Minnelli with Billy Stritch – “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye”
17. Cyndi Lauper – True Colours
18. Aaron Zigman – “Divas and Dunes”



4) MAROON LAME

After a three year hiatus, pop rockers Maroon 5 will be back with their third album, titled Hands All Over, September 21st. For their latest effort they’ve teamed up with producer Robert ‘Mutt’ Lange, the man behind AC/DC’s Black in Black and let’s not forget his ex-wife Shania Twain’s monster album Come On Over. Rolling Stone managed to get hold of them and it sounds as if the new album will be a very poppy rock affair indeed.
