Beyoncé has come back with her another concept album on behalf of her "Act" trilogy, a new and surprising style by her artistry, a fusion of the rustic vibe of humble countryside and the spiritual sound of her proud roots.

Nicely, two tracks stand out to me unexpectedly: Dolly Parton's pleasing iconic song turned into a fierce revision "Jolene", and a passionate duet of Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus "II Most Wanted".

The tragic story of Irene Cara: Ripped off by her label, blacklisted, abandoned by Hollywood... and paid less than $200 for "What a Feeling"

Cara, who passed away in 2022, was an incredibly talented singer and actress.

In 1983, her song "What a Feeling" was number one on the Billboard chart for six weeks.

Yet by 1987, her album was scrapped by her label, amidst a lengthy legal battle for unpaid royalties.

She eventually won the lawsuit, being awarded $1.3 million in unpaid royalties, but was blacklisted by both the record and film industries:

Swift spotted in Sydney 😲

There's a good display on them at the Australian Museum, which is well worth the price of (free) admission.

When it comes to female artists, we really haven't learnt, have we?

2021: Yay! Britney's free! Gees, we were kinda (collectively) arseholes to her, weren't we? We'll never be so nasty and cruel to a female artist again.

2022: Did you watch the Janet documentary? The way Janet took the blame for the Superbowl incident while Justin was protected was just so racist and misogynistic. We'll never be so nasty and cruel to a female artist again.

2024: Taylor Swift plotted with the White House, the Deep State, and the NFL to rig the Superbowl! It's totally not cool to post the whereabouts of Elon's private jet, but Fox News will gladly report on the emissions from Taylor's.

Completely missed this, but a great cover IMO

Ten years after the Ten tour that became a farewell, the girls are planning a tour but not new music — because the studio would feel too weird without Sarah Harding, who has been claimed by cancer.

This is way back when but kinda cool ... During my Oops Tour, I got a knock at my door. My good friend at the time was the assistant to my manager who was trying to become a manager himself. There was a knock, and then he said, “I have a girl named Taylor who wants to come in and sing for you.” I was like of course !!! He walks in, and she sings a beautiful song with her guitar 🎸 I was like wow wow she's unbelievable !!! We took a picture, and she then became the most iconic pop woman of our generation. Kinda cool she plays stadiums, and I prefer her videos over movies any day. She's stunning !!! Girl crush 💄 💄 💄 Ps mom I love you so so much, but there were 3 dolls in the cabinets when I went home 2 years ago … kinda really weird you would take them out and then put them back in … so messed up. Nope, I don't want them. Keep it all. I honestly don't care anymore … honestly though.
