For Rebecca Black, it will always be ” Friday .” The 15-year old tells Billboard Magazine that she has no plans on slowing down her music career any time soon. In fact, she’s nearly finished recording her debut album, a CD whose influences include Rihanna and The Black Keys. Will any of those artists be collaborating with Black? No, says the artist: “Since it’s my first album, we’re really just starting off and getting the base but maybe next time.” And, yes, Rebecca plans for there to be a next time. And a time after that. And a time after that. Asked if fans can expect more videos in the future, Black didn’t hesitate, replying: “For sure. Until the day I die. Until the day I die.” Fortunately, death threats against the singer have passed. So let’s all hope that day doesn’t arrive any time soon. [Photo: WENN.com]
It may not be Friday, but Rebecca Black has come out with a new single. The controversial teenager – best known for what many consider to the worst track in the history of recorded music – will be all over the news again this week because her latest song, “Sing It,” gets released tomorrow on iTunes. That familiar voice/It speaks to me/Tells me everything is gonna be ok/It’s meant to, meant to be… Sun is out/ And the darkness fades/Got my headphones on and I’m under/In a dream but I’m wide awake , sings Black over the course of verses that actually don NOT sound overly auto-tuned. What do you think of “Sing It?” Listen now and decide: Rebecca Black – “Sing It”
The teen twosome talks to MTV News about their viral video and how it all happened… sort of. By Jocelyn Vena Double Take in their “Hot Problems” music video Photo: Old Bailey Productions Three days and more than 1 million streams later, Double Take are certifiable Internet sensations. The teen twosome’s track, the hotly debated “Hot Problems,” is a song about all the troubles attractive people face, if you couldn’t guess from the title. The video features little more than the high school seniors hanging out in a limo mugging for the camera. The two high schoolers have risen to the ranks of Rebecca Black heights, but very little is actually known about them. And, when MTV News chatted with them on Thursday afternoon, it seemed they still wanted to keep the details about who they are and who is helping them become so popular as vague as possible. “We’re working with a production company, but it’s more of a behind-the-scenes thing,” Lauren explained. “We don’t like to talk about it that much.” The girls wouldn’t give their last names, and only added this information about how “Hot Problems” ended up an Internet hot commodity: “We are getting some help, but in the end we have friends helping us out, a bunch of different people. We don’t want to drag them into this,” she added, not confirming what the role of Old Bailey Productions has. “It’s been crazy for us too to get so much attention and we don’t want this to affect their lives too much.” On their video’s
Look out, music world. Lexi Sullivan is coming. The young singer stars in a new video for a track titled “Hot Stuff,” which is produced by Ark Music Factory, the same company that made a star out of Rebecca Black . And, no offense to Lexi, who may be perfectly nice and innocent in all this, but the song makes Black’s “Friday” sound like a Grammy winner. In it, Sullivan appears to be singing about some cute boy who isn’t very nice, so his glasses break and some other stuff happens and, really, you just need to watch for yourself. But do it with ear plugs, folks. You’ve been warned… Lexi Sullivan – Hot Stuff
The current Twitter trend ” RIP Eddie Murphy ” has gripped the unwashed microblogging masses with equal parts earnest apoplexy (“Idiots on twitter, why would anyone want to trend something like that”) and predictable cheap-shottery (“Hey Eddie: ‘RIP Eddie Murphy’ is God trying to tell you something about your career.”) — not that unlike the last time Murphy “died” on Twitter . The most we can take away from this experience?

Lindsay Lohan is hanging onto her relevance as hard as she can. She hasn’t been in a movie, and she is an Actor, for at least 3 years. She hasn’t released a music album in at least 6 years, which is a good thing, cuz her shit was on some Rebecca Black level of talent, but you get what I’m saying…and that is that she hasn’t transitioned from one field to another like J.LO….she’s just sorted fallen to shit…..with addiction, and legal issues and lesbianism…it’s boring. The word on the street last night was that she was going to be doing Playboy for 1,000,000 dollars, which is ridiculous, considering we have all seen her naked at least once , but more importantly, because she was a few months away from doing something more hardcore for substantially less money, I’m talking porn at 1000 dollars a scene like she was Dana Plato….but Playboy had to come around and offer her stupid money cuz she has great tits, and I just hope she does something innovative, like show off some red bush, or crusty herpes scab, or has Sam Ronson’s dick 8 inches inside her….cuz a doctored erotica on a bitch you’ve seen naked fucking sucks…. I wish I was her new manager. We’d make magic…. To See A Lot of the Lindsay Lohan Nude Pics – Att Least as Many as Virgin Mary Could Find…. FOLLOW THIS LINK
Benni Cinkle is probably best recognized for the various — and hilarious — GIF versions of her awkwardly dancing in the backseat in Rebecca Black’s “Friday” music video.

Mars performed a 1950s-style cover of ‘Valerie.’ By Gil Kaufman Bruno Mars performs at the 2011 VMAs Photo: FilmMagic Amy Winehouse never made it to the stage of the VMAs in her lifetime, but on Sunday night, some of her friends and admirers paid tribute to the “Rehab” singer a month after her death. “She was a mate of mine and tragically this year we lost her,” said pal Russell Brand, who penned a loving note to the troubled British crooner following her death. “First time I met her, she was kind of like a daft, dopey person, just wandering around a little bit crazy, like a lot of people who are drawn to big cities with a peculiar, unknowable talent.” Though he remembered that she seemed like an “ordinary girl” (with “extraordinary hair,” mind you) at first, Brand recalled watching her perform and realizing that he was witnessing a rare, amazing talent. “This is not just another London chancer, not just another person milling about waiting to be famous,” he said. “What is this incredible sound? This timeless sound like a roar from the guts of humanity? The kind of voice that Billie Holiday sung with, the kind of voice that Ella Fitzgerald sung with.” He started really paying attention after that, realizing that she was a “genius,” though one who, like Brand in the past, struggled with the disease of alcoholism and drug addiction. Brand also alluded to the huge influence Winehouse had on such contemporary artists as VMA winners Adele , his own missus, Katy Perry , Lady Gaga and 2010 VMA performer Florence and the Machine . The musical section of the tribute had Bruno Mars digging into the Winehouse cover of the Zutons’ “Valerie,” taking the stage in a sharp blue sharkskin suit, his hair in an impressive pompadour as he rocked his best 1950s sock-hop look. Backed by a big band that included a three-piece string and horn section — with Amy’s name inside of a heart emblazoned on the drummer’s bass drum. The big, bouncy tune was accompanied by some pop-art-style images of Winehouse that filled the big screen at the back of the stage, which alternated with some Roy Lichtenstein-type comic-book-inspired graphics. Adele was singing along in her seat, and during the breakdown, the horn section came in around a vintage mike and sang some doo-wop backing vocals under a single spotlight in a scene straight out of “Grease.” Doing a little James Brown-style side-to-side shuffle and busting out some fancy “American Bandstand” footwork, Mars ended with a shout-out, singing, “Say Amy, oh Amy/ I love you darling, I love you darling/ Say Amy, whoa Amy, we’ll miss you baby.” Also along to pay homage to the “Rehab” singer was legendary crooner Tony Bennett, who introduced some never-before-seen footage of the unlikely pair recording a cover of “Body and Soul” at London’s Abbey Road Studios for his upcoming Duets II album. Bennett, one of the last people to ever record with Winehouse, said he too recognized the rare beauty of her gift. The ageless icon said Winehouse was a “true” jazz artist who most definitely had “it.” The video footage of the two singing together was bittersweet, with Winehouse looking healthy and alert, twirling her hair coquettishly as she matched him note-for-note on the standard. Wearing one of the plaid sweaters from her Fred Perry fashion collection , her hair in a signature bouffant, a smiling Winehouse held her own with Bennett, trading lines and sharing a warm hug at the end of their session. The Bennett/Winehouse single and video will be released by Columbia Records on September 14, Amy’s birthday, in support of the Amy Winehouse Foundation, established by the late singer’s family to help a number of charities connected with children and young people. Winehouse , known for the depth and power of her soulful voice, will be remembered by fans and peers for her awe-inspiring talent and classic hits such as “Rehab,” “Back to Black,” “Me & Mr. Jones” and “You Know I’m No Good.” She died last month at the age of 27 of yet-undisclosed causes in her London apartment. On Tuesday, Winehouse’s family released a statement saying that toxicology reports found no traces of illegal substances in her system.
