OHMYGOSSIP — Kelly Rowland has admitted she and her Destiny’s Child bandmates discuss everything but reuniting the group when they get together.
The 38-year-old singer recently insisted she would never rule out recording new music with her bandmates, Beyonce and Michelle Williams, and now during a fan Q&A session on ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen’, Kelly dashed hopes on the chances of them reuniting anytime soon, as it’s not something they talk about when they are in one another’s company.
Asked about reuniting the ‘Survivor’ group, she said: “No, we haven’t talked about it.”We talk about everything else but that.”
Kelly did however divulge which song from their back catalogue she dislikes the most.
She spilled: “My least favourite would have to be ‘Bug A Boo.’ “There’s like this one part on the bridge where I’m like, ‘Ugh!'”
The R&B pop trio reunited for a medley performance at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2013, and Kelly admitted that she couldn’t take it all in because she was so nervous.
She said: “I don’t remember what happened.
“I just remember looking at my feet and I don’t remember.”
Although there are no plans for the three of them to enter the studio, the ‘Jumpin’, Jumpin’ hitmaker recently admitted she would want it to be a “surprise” for their fans if they do decide to release new material.
She said: “I will say, we have made incredible music in the past, and I don’t know.
Can we, like, have surprises in this day and age?
“I mean, I’m just saying.
“I just find it so interesting, everybody wants to know in advance.
“I know every time there is a decision to be made for myself and the ladies to do something, it’s usually a surprise.
“And our fans have always been so supportive and so awesome, like, I like to give them surprises.
“I’ve got nothing up my sleeve, I promise you, nothing up my sleeve, but yeah, I wouldn’t say anything.
“Earlier this year, Beyonce’s father Mathew insisted a Destiny’s Child reunion is at least three years away.
He said: “I certainly hope they do. It would be wonderful, wouldn’t it?
“But you know, things like that require years of preparation and timing.
“It takes years to put together a tour, get the band together, get the dancers together, then decide which size venues you’re going to have, start rehearsals, and it would probably be a world tour … it would two to three years, even if the answer was yes today.
“Age becomes a factor, time becomes a factor, the music environment becomes a factor.
“There’s a lot of factors that can make it a great idea or a not so great idea.
“They’re best friends, and that’s what it has always been for the Destiny’s Child members – having fun and sharing their music with their fans, and that’s what makes them so special.”

‘Poison’ hitmaker, Cooper, has promised fans can expect, “the highest energy hard rock shows you will see all year.”
He said: “This show has something for everyone. I like to joke that The Vampires are the world’s most expensive bar band, but what a lot of people don’t realise is that this is a real rock band, not just some novelty.

“It’s going to be great to get to play a bunch of tunes from our new album as well as a few from our dead, drunk friends.

The shows are in support of the band’s latest LP, ‘Rise’, the follow-up to their 2015 self-titled debut LP, which is largely comprised of brand new material, but also features tributes to their late rock peers, including Depp’s rendition of David Bowie’s ‘Heroes’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Westlife plan to continue performing into their 70s like The Rolling Stones if they “play their cards right”.
The ‘Flying Without Wings’ hitmakers – comprised of Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan – have enjoyed huge success with their ‘Twenty’ reunion tour, their first since their 2012 Farewell Tour, and as long as they don’t “burn out”, they plan to stick around for years to come.
Asked in an interview with The Mirror Online if they see themselves being a band for as long as Sir Mick Jagger and co, Kian, 39, admitted: “10 years ago you would have said never but it feels like it’s changed, it feels like there’s an appetite from us and the audience to maybe even continue for that long, it is kind of weird like that.
“It kind of feels like if we play our cards right, and what I mean by that is if we don’t burn ourselves out, because I think that’s the biggest thing for us not to burn out so fast.
“I think the last time we did all this towards the end we were fully burnt, we were done, it wasn’t that we didn’t love what we do, we just didn’t have it in us to do it any more.”
The Irish chart-toppers – who formed in 1998, but disbanded in 2012, before reuniting last year – still have plenty more to achieve, including their bid to crack America.
Despite having 14 number ones in Britain, only their debut single ‘Swear It Again’ made waves in the US – but they are determined to become stars on the other side of the Atlantic.
Shane said recently: “I think America is definitely somewhere we want to go and it’s something that we have talked about a lot recently. It’s something we would love to have achieved as a band.”Until we actually put on a concert in New York, that will be another milestone moment for us. And I think that’s possible.”
The 40-year-old singer also revealed that it will be a “career-defining moment” when the band perform at Wembley Stadium for the first time next summer.
He said: “Getting to play Wembley Stadium for the first time, that’s serious bucket-list stuff for us. When we play it next August it’s going to be packed.
“It’s going to be one of those career-defining moments.”
As well as their shows, Westlife released their comeback album ‘Spectrum’ earlier this month, which topped the chart in the UK and Ireland.

OHMYGOSSIP — Westlife would love to duet with Adele.
The Irish chart-toppers – comprised of Shane Filan, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Nicky Byrne – have collaborated with the likes of Mariah Carey, Diana Ross, Lulu and Donna Summer, but one person still on their wish list is Britain’s very own Adele, which wouldn’t be out of the question, as the ‘Hello’ hitmaker is preparing for her comeback.
Kian told the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column: “We were talking about collaborations and there are so many amazing singers today but we would struggle to find a real current artist like Billie Eilish or Shawn Mendes we can work with.
“We don’t want to become something we are not and all of the sudden someone said, ‘Why has no one ever mentioned Adele?’ because she is the most amazing singer in the world at the moment.
“And she does sing in the same world as our songs, so that would be amazing and I reckon we suit her better than anyone else!
“For me, all the amazing duets we have had are the best thing that has ever ­happened to us.”
Meanwhile, it was previously claimed that the ‘Hello My Love’ hitmakers – who released their comeback LP ‘Spectrum’ last week – are working on a “special project” with rock legends Queen.
The four-piece wowed their fans with a medley tribute to the ‘We Are The Champions’ group on their recent ‘Twenty Tour’ to mark 20 years of the band, with Mark proving he could give Adam Lambert, who has been performing frontman duties in the group since 2011, after the Queen + Paul Rodgers incarnation ended after five years in 2009, a run for his money.
It was later claimed the ‘Uptown Girl’ group – who teamed up with Ed Sheeran on their record – are working on a secret collaboration with Brian May and co, which could see the light of day this festive season.
A source said: “The Westlife lads are huge fans of Queen.
“They’ve been performing a medley of their biggest hits on their current arena tour.
“There are discussions and it’s hoped something will happen in time for Christmas.
“They are keen to make it work.”
And that’s not all, the band are also said to be trying to get Emeli Sande and Ellie Goulding and a number of people on board fo duets.
The insider added: “Conversations with a number of people are taking place.”
A source previously revealed the group’s late frontman Freddie Mercury – who died in 1991 from bronchial pneumonia resulting from AIDS at the age of 45 – is a “huge hero” of Mark’s.

OHMYGOSSIP — Dr. Dre didn’t want to appear on his seminal 1999 LP ‘2001’ and 1992 debut ‘The Chronic’.
Despite their success, the hip-hop rapper-and-producer has insisted he only intended to produce the record, which featured the likes of Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Xzibit, Eminem, and Nate Dogg, and his first solo studio effort.
Speaking during a Q&A with his longtime associate Jimmy Iovine to mark the 20th anniversary of ‘2001’ for Apple Music, Dre admitted: “I didn’t wanna appear on the albums at all, to be honest.
“I just wanted to produce, find artists and produce them. And Doc, The D.O.C. talked me into getting on the mic and doing this thing.”
Last year, Dre and Iovine teamed up on the four-part Netflix series ‘The Defiant Ones’, which tells the story of their working relationship and the former’s journey from early beginnings as a record producer and member of hip-hop group NWA, through to separately founding Interscope and Death Row Records before co-founding the Beats Electronics headphone company, which they sold to Apple for $3 billion in a cash and stock deal, the largest acquisition in Apple’s history.
Whilst promoting the docu-series, the pair both admitted they “partly” got into music to bed women.
Iovine was asked by the late Beatles legend John Lennon, whilst working on his solo LP ‘Walls and Bridges’ in 1974, what drew him to his role as an engineer-and-producer at Record Plant recording studios in Los Angeles, when he made the confession.
He recalled: “I was in the studio with John Lennon and we were doing ‘Walls and Bridges’.
“When you’re in there six weeks in a row, every day, with somebody, you start to forget things to talk about.
” So John looks at me and he goes, ‘James’ — he used to call me James – ‘why did you get into this?’
“I said, ‘Well, you know, erm . . .’ I’m thinking, ‘I gotta answer right, it’s John Lennon, right?
“So I say, ‘You know, I saw you guys on ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’, I saw the [Rolling] Stones, I bought a guitar, I started a band, and this is the best I can do.’
Dre agreed: “It’s definitely a part of it.”
And Iovine added: “For everybody!
“Everybody’s in it to meet somebody that you connect with, right? You don’t have to put it as bluntly as [wanting to get laid]. I just wanted to get out of my neighbourhood, man.
“I was headed down the docks. And I didn’t want to do that.”
Meanwhile, the ‘What’s The Difference’ rapper is set to be honoured by the Grammys for his influential production work.
The 54-year-old music legend – who has worked on records for the likes of Tupac, Eminem, Snoop, 50 Cent, The Game, Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak and more – will be saluted at the Producers & Engineers Wing on January 22, 2020, ahead of the actual Grammys on January 26.

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Paul McCartney has teased a Glastonbury Festival headline slot for 2020.
The Beatles legend – who has been heavily rumoured for the iconic Worthy Farm event’s Pyramid Stage next year – has seemingly confirmed the news with a cryptic riddle on social media.
He tweeted an image of composer Philip Glass, actress Emma Stone and rock ‘n’ roll pioneer Chuck Berry, with the surnames combining as ‘Glass-Stone-Berry”.

He previously said: “People are saying that it will be good if I did it, so I’m starting to think about whether I can or whether it would be a good thing.
“My kids are saying, ‘Dad, we’ve got to talk about Glastonbury’, and I think I know what they mean.
“So they go every year, like a lot of people these days, and it is a great festival and we played there quite a long time ago so, maybe it is time to go back, I don’t know, I’d have to put a few things in place and try and do that but it’s starting to become some sort of remote possibility.”
The ‘Let It Be’ hitmaker had claimed an appearance wasn’t “fixed yet”, while Glasto founder Michael Eavis has dropped a huge teaser of his own that McCartney could be back for the music extravaganza’s 50th anniversary.
He said: “Paul’s on good form at the moment.”
When asked if he had “spoken to him” and if he was coming to Worthy Farm, Michael said: “Hopefully for the 50th, yeah.
“Don’t make a big thing of it though will you?”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kanye West is working on a new album.
The 42-year-old rapper only released LP ‘Jesus is King’ late last month but he’s already back in the recording studio, making a follow-up record with Dr. Dre.
Kanye shared a photo of himself and Dre on Twitter on Monday (18.11.19) and wrote: “Ye and Dre Jesus is King Part II coming soon (sic)”
The announcement comes a day after Kanye – who has four children with wife Kim Kardashian West – announced he has an opera in the work.
The ‘Bound 2’ hitmaker revealed the production, ‘Nebuchadnezzar’ – a Biblical ruler – who presided over the Babylonian empire from c. 605 BC to c. 562 BC will be directed by Italian performance artist Vanessa Beecroft and Kanye himself has provided the music.
Kanye shared the artwork for the event, a golden engraving of the titular king, and revealed the opera will take place at the Hollywood Bowl on November 24
Tickets for the opera went on sale on Monday.
Meanwhile, the ‘Famous’ hitmaker recently proclaimed himself the “greatest artist that God has ever created”.
Ahead of his own Sunday Service performance, Kanye appeared at pastor Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church on Sunday (17.11.19) in Houston, Texas, and told those gathered: “I know that God’s been calling me for a long time and the devil’s been distracting me for a long time.
“When I was in my lowest points, God was there with me and sending me visions and inspiring me, and I remember sitting in the hospital at UCLA after having a mental breakdown and there’s documentation of me drawing a church and [wanting to] start a church in the middle of Calabasas.”
The ‘Jesus Walks’ rapper went on to explain that he believes God is now using him, despite “all of that arrogance and cockiness that y’all have seen from me”.
He explained: “Because every time I stand up, I feel that I’m standing up and drawing a line in the sand and saying, ‘I’m here in service to God and no weapon formed against me shall prosper.’ Jesus has won the victory.
“I told you about my arrogance and cockiness already. Now the greatest artist that God has ever created is now working for him.”

OHMYGOSSIP — HAIM were mistaken for fans when they met the Spice Girls.
The trio of siblings have recalled how Mel B mistook them for competition winners rather than members of the famous girl band when they saw them backstage at Wembley.
Danielle said: “The part of the prize was we were all going to meet with the Spice Girls before the show and we had taken photos with the contestants and then they were like ok now let’s just do HAIM and Emma Stone and Spice Girls and Mel B looked at Danielle and was like ‘you’re not supposed to be in these photos’ and Danielle was like, ‘Oh my gosh no I’m so sorry I’m in HAIM,’ and she felt so bad.”
HAIM have also met Justin Timberlake and even spent some time in the studio with him, but their first meeting didn’t go as well as hoped.
Alana shared: “We were lucky enough to go to Justin Timberlake’s studio one night to show him new music. We played Justin ‘Hallelujah’. You burst into tears when you met him.”
Whilst Danielle added: “I burst into tears yes. I was so embarrassed. We met him maybe a couple of years ago … He ended up passing me by and turned around and was like, ‘Oh my gosh I was just listening to your album’. This was after ‘Days Are Gone’ had just come out and I was so floored because we honestly listened to ‘FutureSexLoveSounds’ so much while making the record … I was so flustered saying, ‘Oh my gosh thank you so much, you don’t understand we listened to your record while making our record.’ He was like, really? and I was like, ‘Yeah Blood Sugar Sex Magik and then he looks at me with this confused face and was like, ‘Thank you but I’m not the Red Hot Chili Peppers.'”
Their new track ‘Hallelujah’ is very “exposed” and it goes “very deep” for them all, particularly Alana who penned her verse about losing a good friend of hers.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1, Alana said: “I mean it’s kind of hard to, it’s, it’s crazy having to talk about ‘Hallelujah’ because I feel like it’s such a song that’s like, so it feels like I’m exposed. Like it’s, we’ve never really had a song that goes as deep as this. And so talking about it is really hard.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Keane’s Tim Rice-Oxley says that he and bandmate Tom Chaplin’s friendship is so intense it is “almost romantic”.
The British group disbanded in 2013, a year after releasing their fourth studio LP ‘Strangeland’, but reunited this year to release new album ‘Cause and Effect’.
Piano player and chief songwriter Tim had been working on a solo record before a meeting with Tom led to them reforming Keane, and since getting back together with his pal he has realised just how important their friendship is in his life and to the success of the band.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, Tim said: “Maybe you have that youthful, innocent ¬relationship when you’re very young. I think I had that with Tom, it’s almost romantic, I suppose. You get such an intense friendship, and I certainly had that with Tom. I think it’s ¬pretty difficult, well impossible, as you get older to maintain that and life starts to creep in a bit too much.”
Tim admits when he was recording the songs for his aborted solo album – which dealt with his break-up from his wife Jayne – he always felt they would be better if Tom was singing and when they did decide use some of those tracks on a new Keane LP his gut feeling was proven to be right.
The 43-year-old musician said: “We’ve been friends since we were born, basically, and for 20 years of that didn’t do much music together. We were too busy playing football or down the pub, but it all adds up to a very symbiotic relationship musically.
“My view is that we are better together basically and I really felt that when I was making my aborted solo album. Tom has a great radar for the emotional impact of a song.”
Tom, 40, has previously admitted that Keane’s break-up was “mostly” his fault because he was struggling with his addiction to cocaine – a problem he first went to rehab for in 2006.
‘The Way I Feel’ singer said: “It was probably mostly my fault. Back in 2012/13 I wanted to do something else with my life for a bit.
“I felt creatively I wanted to write and needed space and time to do that. The other thing was, unconsciously, I needed time to finish off my addictive behaviour.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Westlife are still determined to crack America.
Although the Irish boy band has had 14 chart-topping hits in Britain, only their debut single ‘Swear It Again’ made waves in the US – but they are determined to become stars on the other side of the Atlantic after reuniting last year.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column, Shane Filan said: “I think America is definitely somewhere we want to go and it’s something that we have talked about a lot recently. It’s something we would love to have achieved as a band.
“Until we actually put on a concert in New York, that will be another milestone moment for us. And I think that’s possible.”

He said: “Getting to play Wembley Stadium for the first time, that’s serious bucket-list stuff for us. When we play it next August it’s going to be packed. It’s going to be one of those career-defining moments.”
The band, whose new album ‘Spectrum’ is on course to top the charts, also revealed that they had the opportunity to make a documentary about their return to music, but were put off by the Bros documentary, ‘When The Screaming Stops’.
Kian Egan said: “I enjoyed watching the Bros documentary for all the wrong reasons. I would hate that documentary to be about us.”
Mark Fehily agreed “it would have to be done right”, but he still wants fans to be able to “see what goes on behind the scenes”.
He added: “I think we would still like for more people to see what goes on behind the scenes. But I think it would have to be done right.
“We couldn’t just hand any director a backstage pass and go, ‘Do your best,’ because we could be misrepresented or whatever.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Wiley has challenged Skepta to a fight.
The pair have been feuding since Skepta betrayed Wiley by collaborating with his rival Dizzee Rascal last year, and now the row has escalated to another level with the ‘Heatwave’ hitmaker laying down the gauntlet for a brawl in London.
He tweeted: “I will clash you @Skepta on Tottenham High Road do you wanna do it?”
The grime star wasn’t done there, and when one fan asked why he hadn’t challenged ‘Bonkers’ star Dizzee, he suggested he’d take on that fight another day.
He replied: “Both I’m ready… 1 day dizzee another day Skepta (sic)”
Riley and Dizzee’s row – which has sparked numerous diss tracks and social media spats – started when they were involved in a brawl in Ayia Napa 16 years ago with a rival grime crew.
Dizzee was attacked with a knife in the fight, and he holds Wiley responsible for putting him in harm’s way by not settling the issue with the other crew.
Two years ago, he seemed to take things too far as he made a death threat at his rival.
In a tweet – which was later deleted – he wrote: “Wiley I know you think all this trolling is funny but one day you’re [going to] push me too far and I’m going to kill you. I hope you keep laughing.”
Skepta then found himself in the middle of the feud after collaborating with Dizzee on 2018 tune ‘Money Right’.
Wiley – who branded them both “frauds” in a lengthy online rant – tweeted: “Dizzee and Skepta are on a tune…f***ing hell… You will never be able to beat me at my own game, ever.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Mötley Crüe have confirmed plans for a reunion tour.
The heavy metal band – featuring bassist Nikki Sixx, drummer Tommy Lee, lead guitarist Mick Mars and lead singer Vince Neil – have revealed they are reuniting after five years since their last performance as part of ‘The Final Tour’ in 2015.
To mark the end of their legacy, the band signed a cessation of touring agreement, which prohibits any member performing under the Mötley Crüe name.
However, the rockers released a video on Monday (18.11.19) that saw the contract get blown up as they announced their return.
Machine Gun Kelly – who starred in the recent Mötley Crüe biopic ‘The Dirt’ – narrates the video.
He said: “In 2014, Mötley Crüe announced their final tour putting an end to almost 35 years on the road. To make it official, they signed an unprecedented contract.
“In the years since, Mötley Crüe became more popular than ever and gained an entirely new legion of fans who, along with die hard Crüeheads, demanded the band tear up that stupid contract and come out of retirement.”
Fans had started a petition last week urging the rock stars to get back together as they believed new fans had a “natural born right” to see them on stage.
The rapper added in the clip: “They knew that if they were ever to stand on stage together again, that contract would have to be destroyed. Well, destruction has never been an issue for Mötley Crüe.”
Rumours the band were reuniting circulated when Black Crowes manager Mark DiDia announced on the ‘Howard Stern Wrap-Up Show’ that his band’s reunion tour wouldn’t be the only one rock fans could look forward to next year, stating that a triple bill with Mötley Crüe and two other major bands was likely.
However, frontman Vince took to Twitter to shut down the rumours earlier this month.
He wrote: “People these rumours are false. I haven’t spoken to any band member’s since movie premiere. I had to cancel shows due to back problems which I am getting treatment now.
“There is no tension between me and Tommy. Don’t believe anything from These so-called gossip sites. Keep Rocking (sic)”
