One Direction shocked fans in Dublin on Friday night by playing the track “Perfect” for the first time in a public venue. The song will be included on the group's upcoming album, “Made In The A.M.,” and many believe it to be somewhat of a shot at Taylor Swift . How come? “Perfect” is similar to Swift’s “Style” both musically and lyrically, as both mention Harry Styles and Swift taking midnight drives together. The songs actually mash-up well together, while the chorus for “Perfect” included the following lyrics: “And if you’re looking for someone to write your breakup songs about/Baby, I’m perfect.” Case closed, right? Listen to the single and watch the performance now.
While he may not receive a ton of mainstream radio play, and he certainly doesn't have many hits to his name, Tyga still manages to attract sell-out crowds. Of course, that may have something to do with the fact that his relationship with Kylie Jenner has catapulted him to the A-list . So it makes sense that Tyga sometimes shows his gratitude (and gives the fans what they really want) by welcoming Kylie on stage during his shows. Tyga brought Kylie out mid-song during a club performance in LA over the weekend, and the crowd proceeded to go so wild that they completely drowned out his rapping. Seems like dude is well aware of what's keeping him relevant – and he's perfectly okay with it.
Earlier today, we shared some highlights from Rihanna’s new Vanity Fair interview. As always, the 27-year-old Barbadian songstress had plenty of surprising things to say. For starters, she hates casual sex (not something we would’ve guessed from RiRi’s Instagram page ), and she’s completely forgiven Chris Brown. But the most quote from her remarkably candid profile involved Rihanna’s thoughts on Rachel Dolezal. You may remember Dolezal as the NAACP leader who pretended to be black and got busted on live TV back in June. “I think she was a bit of a hero, because she kind of flipped on society a little bit,” Rih sayd when asked about Dolezal. “Is it such a horrible thing that she pretended to be black? Black is a great thing, and I think she legit changed people’s perspective a bit and woke people up.” Maybe she’s right, and Dolezal helped to spark a national conversation about race. Of course, she’s been all but completely forgotten about just a few months after her ordeal, so whatever impact she had seems to have been short-lived. In any event, Dolezal misled hundreds, if not thousands of people and took opportunities away from much more deserving individuals, so the word “hero” might be a bit strong. Anyway, RiRi wouldn’t be RiRi if she wasn’t stirring up controversy. We can’t wait to hear her thoughts on Donald Trump.
Recently, Kylie Jenner took up the cause of bullying prevention . As someone who’s spent her entire life in the public eye, it’s a problem with which she had plenty of firsthand experience. After witnessing the hate speech and death threats directed at Caitlyn Jenner following her debut on the cover of Vanity Fair, Kylie says the cause became even more near and dear to her heart. So what better way to celebrate World Bullying Prevention Day than to step out with Caitlyn Jenner and rock the color of the anti-bullying movement on her famous lips? “Wearing blue lips today in honor of world bullying prevention,” Kylie posted, along with the pic above. “#BlueShirtDay2015 #WorldBullyingPreventionDay wear blue and post a pic with the hashtags! Spread love & you will receive. Nothing can be done if we don’t do it together!” Unfortunately, the same day that Kylie sent a wonderful message to her millions of young fans, she also set a terrible example with yet another “waist training” photo . We don’t give her too much flak, as obviously no one is perfect, and unlike her sisters, Kylie can use the fact that she’s only 18 as an excuse for falling for jumping on board with the world’s dumbest fitness trend. Still, she’s clearly aware of how much influence she carries, and we’re hoping she continues to use it for good, and not for encouraging teens to smush their internal organs in the name of beauty.
Following the departure of Zayn Malik , fans of 1D were hoping there would be no further strife within the band. Unfortunately, footage from a concert in Manchester over the weekend had thousands of fans concerned that strife within the band could lead to the long-rumored breakup of One Direction . As you can see, the video above appears to show Liam Payne offering some harsh words to his bandmate Louis Tomlinson before giving him a quick shove. Fortunately, witnesses say Liam and Louis were just horsing around and the shove may have looked harsh, it's just how the boys pass the time on stage. We don't blame them. They've gotta be sinck of hearing Harry belt out that solo.

Remember when Zayn Malik quit One Direction ? And claimed it was because he wanted to live a normal life for awhile? Yeah. That was pretty much a lie. The artist signed a contract with RCA Records on Thursday, posting a picture of himself doing so on Twitter and writing as a caption: “I guess I never explained why I left , it was for this moment to be given the opportunity to show you who i really am! #realmusic #RCA !” Yes. Real music . We wonder how One Direction fans will feel about this hastag. Malik, of course, did supposedly reveal his reasons for leaving One Direction back in March, explaining at the time: “I’d like to apologize to the fans if I’ve let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart. “I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight.” He has had some time, we suppose, but there’s been talk of a Malik solo career since the moment he left Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and company. Prior to Zayn’s departure, the singer had taken a hiatus from the band’s tour, citing stress likely related to chatter he had stepped out on fiancee Perrie Edwards. “I’m 22 years old,” he Tweeted in response. “I love a girl named Perrie Edwards…And there’s a lot of jealous f–ks in this world I’m sorry for what it looks like.” With how One Direction supporters are likely to respond to the next phase of his professional life, Zayn may soon be issuing another apology.
