True Fans Wouldn’t Bootleg Madonna!!!!!!!!

That’s the number of exclamation points Madonna’s manager used when whining about his team springing a leak and a track from the singer’s unfinished album leaking online. Because that’s the number of exclamation points that indicates srs bsns. And letting fans know you mean srs bsns is a great way to get them to stop stealing from you. Guy Oseary tweeted: ’Madonna told me this morning ‘my true fans wouldn’t do this’… whoever is responsible for this leak, we ask that you please stop! …we are very upset with whoever leaked the song!!!!!!!!’

Jennifer Lopez Cries Singing If You Had My Love

Jennifer Lopez reportedly cried and ran off stage to compose herself during a performance this weekend. Lopez was a headlining act at the Mohegan Sun Arena’s 15th anniversary celebration on Saturday. She took to the stage in that naked spiderweb thing she always wears. She opened with an acoustic performance of If You Had My Love, one of the first love songs she wrote back in 1999 when she was only one husband in (since then, she’s had at least one broken engagement and two additional failed marriages). ‘[This was] the first song I wrote about love,’ Lopez told the audience. RadarOnline.com says the 42-year-old then became ‘visibly distressed,’ as she continued, ‘What is love? As the last song I wrote about love… a lot has changed since then’ (she’s in heat again, what else is new?) A witness recalls, ‘At the end of the song she started sobbing and had to take a few moments to keep it together. She held it together for one song but then ran offstage crying. She only sang a few more songs and she was obviously out of it. Everyone was so sad for her. It was really dramatic.’

Albino Snooki ™ Ate The Real Snooki, Is Bloated

Here’s Christina Aguilera at the Michael Jackson tribute concert, Michael Forever, at the Millennium Stadium Cardiff, Wales Saturday night that The Black Eyed Peas and Jennifer Hudson ditched at the last minute citing production problems. Ne-Yo, Leona Lewis and a few others still attended the oddly-located, under-attended, under-promoted, underwhelming concert. Aguilera made it through two costume changes, the second of which was so much more flattering I had to double-check whether the photos were even taken on the same night. Albino Snooki ™ looks like she ate The Real Snooki, absorbing her tanner, thus becoming her. 15 photos show Aguilera performing while holding in really bad gas and then arriving back at LAX Sunday night with man-child Matthew Rutler.

Kat Von D Recording Album, WAS Cheated On

Kat Von D is a musician now, of course. Von D has started recording tracks for her debut album, she confirmed this weekend. Listing her influences as Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, AC/DC, Depeche Mode and The Cure, she tells E! News: ‘I’ve been passionate about music all my life. I’ve been playing classical piano since I was six. So I understand the form, but it will be fun to be able to translate a message… [the songs will focus on my] dark, more tragically romantic [side].’ Von D will be a great singer, because singing and f**king up people’s tattoos is the same thing, ‘I think it’s much like tattooing or the TV show or make-up, my clothing line, fashion. All those things, they’re just different outlets to be able to be creative. So music, I think it’s going to be one of those things.’

In related news, Von D confirms being cheated on. Asked about her book, she slammed ‘my cheating ex,’ and she wasn’t referring to ex-boyfriend Nikki Sixx.

Adele Finally Releases Someone Like You Video

Adele has released the music video to Someone Like You. Random thoughts: it’s b&w with very little editing; there’s lots of looking at the ground, staring into the middle-distance, she doesn’t even look at the camera until halfway through (screen-caped above) and it’s arresting; gorgeous. I first heard this track online, her performance at the Brit Awards 2011 (from over six-months-ago). I’ve not watched the Brit Awards since I was a little kid, but I somehow caught it on YouTube, and it’s been getting semi-regular plays ever since. I’m not as into music in general as when I was a teenager so it didn’t occur to me the video to this wasn’t out yet. It’s been getting airplay and charting based on downloads, but it was mostly based on the success of her album and the great live performances she’s been giving. Another thing I just realised, upon watching the video… I’ve never heard the album version before; only the Brit Awards version. I prefer the arrangement/ slower speed of the live version. They’re both great and heartbreaking, but the live one just wins out for me. That said, I get the feeling people are over this song. Be honest, are you guys over hearing this song yet?

Jennifer Lopez Papi Video: Conceited Or Funny?

I ask in the title, which I never do, because I’m on the fence and I want to know whether you guys get the conceited vibe from this video. This is the Jennifer Lopez Papi music video she was shooting on the streets surrounded by randoms who kept dropping her during the stunt sequences. It starts out like a mini-movie, establishing the story arc. And then she eats some food. Because that’s one of those things she does. And then she leaves her hotel in unflattering shorts and a half-shirt that make her look boxy and misshapen. There’s some product placement for a cell phone and for a brand of car. And there’s some dancing. But mostly, it’s an ego-stroke as the 42-year-old mother-of-two prepares for her third divorce. Do you think the video is cute, funny, and irreverent… or just conceited?
