Dave Mustaine: There are no rockstars left

OHMYGOSSIP — Dave Mustaine doesn’t think there are any rockstars left.
The Megadeth frontman has bemoaned the current generation of rock musicians for being scared to put a foot wrong, in fear of their antics being picked up in the headlines.
He admitted: “There are no more rockstars. You know what you got? You got a lot of snot-nosed kids that work at music magazines – no offence.”
The 57-year-old rocker blames it on the “internet” and music press for making it more about gossip than the music.
He told Metal Hammer: “But there used to be an honour code between the bands and the music magazines.
“Then the internet came out and started tearing bands apart, and it became normal happenstance where people would make a story just to destroy the bands.
“It became more important about who the writer was rather than the bands they were covering.
“I yearn for the days when it was about the music and not about the reviewer.”
The ‘Sweating Bullets’ hitmaker also admitted he thinks that record stores that solely sold heavy metal records – that are few and far between nowadays – were a big part in inspiring the next generation of bands and that the only difference now is that there are streaming services making it much easier to release and consume new music.
Asked if he thinks it has gotten harder or easier for budding metallers to do well, he said: “It’s a double-edged sword. It’s so much easier for new bands to get their music out, but it’d be safe to bet one of my balls on the fact that Scott (Ian, Anthrax frontman) used to go into the same record store I did in San Francisco called The Record Well.
“And the fact that back then you could find a record store that’s strictly metal, and you walk in there and the person behind the counter will know you, and you can walk in and they can tell you what’s new. ‘The new Tank record’s out!’ or ‘The new Raven album’s out!’ or, ‘Dude, what do you think of the new Witchfinder General?’ And we were in there, like, ‘God damn, these are my people!’ It just feels great when you used to go into one of those stores, and you see people there that are like you. There’s not a lot of stores out there like that any more.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Brian McFadden suffered a bad fall just before his ‘Dancing On Ice’ debut.
The former Westlife singer is due to take to the ice on Sunday (13.01.19) for his first performance in the ITV competition but his professional partner Alex Murphy has revealed that a fall during the week has left him feeling anxious.
She told The Sun Online: “We had a fall, it was pretty bad.
“He was really anxious after that but I told him not to worry and hopefully it’s out of his system.”
However, Alex believes he has nothing to worry about and she can’t wait for him to show off his skills on the ice.
She said: “He has come on drastically from when he first started and could hardly stand on the ice. “He’s also lost weight from all the training, but he doesn’t think so because he still eats burgers.”
Brian’s fall comes after fellow competitor Melody Thornton admitted she has had a number of accidents during rehearsals, including smashing her face on the ice.
The former Pussycat Dolls singer said: “The worst for me is there’s a little bitty part of the blade in the back of your skate that if you put your other skate on top of that and then move an inch, you will just fall out of nowhere. It’s like getting shot. It’s crazy.
“I was trying to put one foot behinds the other and I stepped on my blade and went backwards flying but landed on my face. It was so intense. You immediately want to cry. It’s like when you’re a kid and you can’t help it.
“I’ve fallen on my hips and things and the bruising is like ‘wow, OK’.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Brie Larson “sacrificed” for her role in ‘Captain Marvel’.
The 29-year-old actress stars as the titular character in the upcoming Marvel movie and her co-star Samuel L. Jackson – who reprises his role as Nick Fury – says her workouts to prepare for the movie were “insane”.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter about workout videos of herself that Brie showed him, Samuel, 70, said: “I was, like, ‘She’s insane! What are you doing? Are you pushing a car up a hill? What the hell? What’s going on?’ She sacrificed.”
He also revealed that the friendship between their characters is a huge factor in the movie.
He said: “We’re strangers when you meet us [in ‘Captain Marvel’]. But the creation of our relationship in that movie is very genuine and very honest so that by the end of it, you really think these two people care about each other.”
Meanwhile, Brie previously revealed she did “nine months” of training for ‘Captain Marvel’, followed by three months of stunt training for two hours every day.
She said: “I did nine months of just training, training, and three months of stunt training with the stunt team where we spent two hours every day, five days a week. It wasn’t until we started shooting and I started doing all my own wirework, stunts and flips and stuff that people were like, ‘You know, nobody… now we’ll tell you; nobody actually does this.’ I was like, ‘Huh.’ But I love it. It definitely makes things more complicated in certain ways because I can be taking a lot more naps than I am.”
‘Captain Marvel’ is set for release in March 2019.

Kelly Rowland wants Solange collaboration

OHMYGOSSIP — Kelly Rowland wants to collaborate with Solange Knowles again soon.
Although the star has ruled out an upcoming Destiny’s Child reunion with Solange’s sister Beyoncé and their other bandmate Michelle Williams, she admitted that a project with Solange could be a possibility.
Kelly, who recorded ‘I Got So Much Magic, You Can Have It’, with Solange for her ‘A Seat At The Table’ album, told Billboard: “I’m a huge fan. I love her writing and how detailed and particular she is. I always wanted to figure out how the heck she has so many different layers of harmonies when she is constructing these vocals, and it’s so complex but simple. It’s genius. It’s the genius in her genius mind that she has in there.”
Speaking about Beyoncé and Michelle, she added: “It’s so funny. I guess every time people see us together, they just see music but I just see sisterhood, and that’s what we are and that’s what me, her, Michelle [Williams] and Solange and I are. People see us all together, they immediately think music. I’m like, no. Just family.”
However, Kelly, 37, is taking inspiration from Destiny’s Child for her upcoming album and will record an empowering song, encouraging women to love their bodies, like Destiny’s Child did with ‘Bootylicious’.
She said: “Obviously, when you think of a song like ‘Bootylicious’ that Destiny’s Child had, that theme is apparent. There’s a song that I did in the studio that I love so much that talks about that. I’m not going to get into it, but it’s really cool. It’s going to be on the record, possibly. I’ve recorded so many damn songs.”

Brie Larson ends engagement?

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Brie Larson has reportedly ended her engagement to Alex Greenwald.
The 29-year-old actress got engaged to the musician in May 2016 following several years of dating, but it seems their romance has been put on hold, as sources claim they’ve “taken a step back” from their engagement for the time being.
An insider told People magazine: “They have taken a step back from their engagement for the time being but they remain close.”
The couple have kept their relationship out of the spotlight, but the ‘Captain Marvel’ actress did describe him as her “person” whilst at the Screen Actors Guild awards in 2016.
She said at the time: “He’s the other half of the equation – how can you explain support? I mean, it goes beyond anything. He’s just my person, he’s my best friend.”
And then that same year, when Brie was awarded the Academy Award for Best Actress at the Oscars for her performance in 2015 thriller ‘Room’, she included Alex in her acceptance speech.
She said: “Jacob Tremblay, my partner through this in every way possible. My real partner, Alex Greenwald, I love you.”
Meanwhile, fans are unlikely to hear confirmation of the split from Brie, as she recently described herself as a “diligent secret-keeper”, thanks to her work on ‘Avengers: Endgame’, in which she had to mentally “delete” the plot line of the movie to avoid spoiling it for the fans.
She said: “I just never wanted to feel like I was going to slip up or that I was going to say the wrong thing. I was like, ‘I can’t live with myself being the one that spoils something.’ So I really just deleted it. I tried my best to journal it if I want to recall it and go, ‘Oh yeah, that was a crazy time.’ And I’m excited when the movie comes out to finally be able to talk about it and go, ‘Yes, this was crazy.’ But my family doesn’t know. I haven’t talked to anybody about anything because I’m just a very diligent secret-keeper.”

Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine’s email romance

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine “fell in love over email”.
The 30-year-old model married the Maroon 5 frontman – with whom she has two daughters, Dusty Rose, two, and Gio Grace, 10 months – in 2014, and has said the story of their romance first began when he contacted her for a role in a music video, and stayed in touch over email.
She said: “I met my husband through a mutual friend. Adam was looking for a girl for a music video that could do some action stuff, and our friend was like, ‘You should meet Behati because she’s a total tomboy and down for anything.’ So he emailed me asking if I could do it. I ended up not doing it, but we kept emailing each other. It was such a natural correspondence that we kind of fell in love over email.”
And after being smitten with each other for a month, they met for the first time when Behati went to LA for a job, and insists it was “love at first sight” when they finally laid eyes on each other.
She added: “A month later, I went to LA for a job, and that was the first time we met in person. I remember walking in: I opened the door, and it was the classic moment where the light shines into the dark studio and everyone turned to look at me. He had boxing gloves on and he came to hug me — it was so awkward. Then he took me for dinner and we talked for hours and had the best time. It was love at first sight, it was crazy.”
The Victoria’s Secret model and the ‘Sugar’ hitmaker even briefly split up early in their dating life, but quickly realised it was “the worst decision”.
Speaking to Net-a-Porter, Behati said: “We broke up for two months, realised that it was the worst decision, then got back together, got engaged and got married. It was a wild ride!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Sizemore has been arrested for drug possession.
The 57-year-old actor was stopped by police in Burbank, California on January 5 because his car had expired registration tags and police officers found what they believed meth and heroin during a search of the vehicle, according to TMZ.
Police arrested Tom and a male passenger for misdemeanour possession and both posted bail before being released later that day.
Tom has had a number of brushes with the law in the past.
In 2016, he was arrested on domestic violence charges for allegedly attacking his girlfriend.
He was charged with intimate partner abuse, intimate partner battery and making terrorist threats.
A few weeks before that alleged incident, the actor accidentally mowed down a stuntman with a Cadillac Escalade while filming scenes for ‘Shooter’ in Santa Clara, Los Angeles.
Eight crew members tried to lift the heavy vehicle off the stuntman but were forced to call in a jack to free him.
The man, who had sustained a number of serious injuries, was later airlifted to hospital by helicopter.
The horrific incident was investigated by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, which deals with work-related injuries.

Lady Gaga vows to remove R. Kelly duet from streaming services

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Lady Gaga has vowed to remove her R. Kelly duet ‘Do What U Want’ from “all streaming services” following the allegations of sexual misconduct made against the R&B star.
Gaga, 32, collaborated with the ‘Ignition’ singer on the track back in 2013, and it was included on her third studio album ‘Artpop’, but following the accusations of sexual assault made by a host of women against Kelly in new Lifetime documentary series ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ the pop superstar has made the decision to dissociate herself from the track and apologise for working with him.
Addressing to her 77.6 million followers on Twitter, the singer wrote: “I stand behind these women 1000%, believe them, know they are suffering and in pain, and feel strongly that their voices should be heard and taken seriously.
“What I am hearing about the allegations against R Kelly is absolutely horrifying and indefensible. As a victim of sexual assault myself, I made both the song and the video at a dark time in my life. My intention was to create something extremely defiant and provocative because I was angry and still hadn’t processed the trauma that had occurred in my own life. The song is called Do What U Want (With My Body), I think it’s clear how explicitly twisted my thinking was at the time.
“If I could go back and have a talk with my younger self I’d tell her to go through the therapy I have since then, so that I could understand the confused post-traumatic state that I was in – or if therapy was not available to me or anyone in my situation – to seek help, and speak as openly and honestly as possible about what we’ve been through.
“I can’t go back, but I can go forward and continue to support women, men, and people of all sexual identities, and of all races, who are victims of sexual assault. I have demonstrated my stance on this issue and others many times throughout my career. I share this not to make excuses for myself, but to explain. Til it happens to you, you don’t know how it feels. But I do know how I feel now. I intend to remove this song off of iTunes and other streaming platforms and will not be working with him again.
“I’m sorry, both for my poor judgment when I was young, and for not speaking out sooner”.
The ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ series has prompted the #MuteRKelly campaign on social media in a bid to get the musician’s concerts axed and his music silenced on the airwaves and on streaming services.
Kelly, 52, has denied all the allegations made against him and has threatened legal action against his accusers and the makers of the series.

will.i.am’s topless goal

OHMYGOSSIP — will.i.am dreams of walking around topless.
The Black Eyed Peas star recently revealed he’s shed the pounds thanks to his vegan diet, but now he’s revealed he’s aiming to have a body of “stealth” by the time the ‘Where is The Love?’ group are playing stadiums, which he hopes will be as soon as next year.
Speaking to Tom & Daisy on KISS Breakfast about his goals for the year, he said: “2020 we (Black Eyed Peas) want to get back to stadium mode.
“Just hard work, hard work, hard work.
“Then my pectorals are going to be so fresh.
“I will have a six pack, pectorals on stealth mode.
“My whole dream is to like, not walk around with shirts on. Cause you ain’t ever seen that.”
The ‘Voice UK’ coach recently revealed he’d love to write his own vegan cookbook.
The ‘Feelin’ Myself’ producer wants to inspire other people to lose weight by ditching meat and dairy.
He said recently: “A book is nice. A book is effortless but the results help more people.”
will decided to embrace a plant-based diet and cut out animal products after being horrified to be given medication from his doctor, and claimed his new eating habits, as well as visiting a wellness retreat, left him not needing to consider the pills any more.
He said previously: “When you go to the doctor and he says, ‘You have high cholesterol and blood pressure and I’m going to provide you with pills’, you’re like, ‘Pills? I’m 42. Why do I need to be taking the pills that my uncle takes? He’s 60-plus.’…
“It took me 10 days to drop my cholesterol. I lost 8lb, my blood pressure came down. In 10 days, my skin cleared up and my breathing was right.”
He now thinks the concept of eating meat is “sick” and he doesn’t see the need to introduce it back to his diet.
He said: “I thought about what I was eating – I was gnawing on flesh, dead animal.
“And if you think about it, it’s kind of sick. Imagine you’re hungry – almost starving. You have a bushel of broccoli and then a chicken walks by.
“Are you going to rush the chicken, no utensils, and just eat it? Defeather it – eat the skin and cartilage, no seasoning and salt? No, you’re going to dive into that bushel of broccoli.
“Turns out gorillas are buff as f**k. They have big-ass muscles, they just eat leaves and s**t.
“Rhinos are as tough as gladiators and they aren’t gnawing on people.”

Claire Foy’s juvenile arthritis caused her anxiety

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Claire Foy’s anxiety struggle started when she was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis as a teenager.
The 34-year-old BAFTA nominee has revealed she grew anxious from a very young age because she had to use crutches to get around due to “extremely painful” inflammation of the joints – and it made her feel “stupid”.
In an interview WSJ. Magazine, she said: “Feeling stupid is not a nice thing. I wasn’t really good at anything. I was relatively good at home economics, at making cakes, and I was quite sporty, but I had juvenile arthritis from the ages of 12 to 15, so I was on crutches.
“It was extremely painful… Anxiety was part of my life at that age, but I didn’t realize that was what it was until my mid-20s.”
The ‘First Man’ star has turned to the meditation app Calm to help her manage her “overthinking”.
She said: “It’s not as bad as it was, but that’s through a lot of work, doing things that I never thought I would do.
“I know that I need to catch myself early in a process of overthinking.”
Claire also opened up about the gruelling filming schedule for Netflix period drama ‘The Crown’ – in which she portrayed Queen Elizabeth II – and how the cast were often asked to stay on longer than planned.
However, being back home for her three-year-old daughter Ivy’s bedtime was “far more important” to her.
The actress – who has her little girl with estranged husband Stephen Campbell Moore – said: “The first AD (assistant director) would ask me if we could go an hour over.
“So then I am just like, ‘What does everyone want to do? Do we want the overtime or do we all want to go home because we have been working eight days straight?’
“Time is f**king precious, and making a TV programme is really important, but getting back in time for my daughter’s bedtime is far more important to me.”
The ‘Upstairs, Downstairs’ star previously admitted her anxiety has worsened since becoming an actress and finding fame.
She said: “When you have anxiety, you have anxiety about – I don’t know – crossing the road.
“The thing about it is, it’s not related to anything that would seem logical.
“It’s purely about that feeling in the pit of your stomach, and the feeling that you can’t, because you’re ‘this’ or you’re ‘that’.
“It’s my mind working at a thousand beats a second, and running away with a thought.”
Claire suffered a “breakdown” in her early 20s when she couldn’t cope with her own mental health.
She said: “When I was 23, I had a breakdown. I didn’t sleep or eat for
a month. It was awful. My life had changed. I felt overwhelmed.
“I was on stage at the time and working, and I’d just got a really big job (the lead in the BBC’s ‘Little Dorrit’). I just couldn’t cope.”

Catherine Tate says Mathew Horne left her play in the lurch

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Catherine Tate says Mathew Horne has left the ‘The Catherine Tate Show Live’ “in the lurch” and moved on to another play.
The 50-year-old star – who is currently starring ‘The Catherine Tate Show Live’ at the Wyndham’s Theatre, London – informed audiences on Tuesday (08.01.19) that the 40-year-old actor would no longer be in the production as he had moved on.
She joked: “He’s got a proper job in a play. Broke his contract, leaving me in the lurch, even though I’ve given him 15 years of steady work. What a liberty!”
Meanwhile, the ‘Gavin and Stacey’ star recently had a brush with death when he was hit by a train on a booze-fuelled night out over the Christmas period.
He was clipped on a pedestrian crossing and thrown backwards in Burton Joyce, Nottinghamshire, while walking back to his parents’ house but luckily did not require hospital treatment.
A duty manager at The Nelson pub where the actor had been drinking said at the time: “It was a really, really unfortunate accident and it could have been a lot worse. We are all glad that it wasn’t. He was obviously very shaken up but he’s all right now. He’s got a bit of a scratch on him but no underlying issue there whatsoever.
“Mathew is a regular customer of ours. I can say that everybody was quite spirited that night and it’s a genuine mishap on his part.
“We know Mathew well. We were just making sure that he was OK, as we would with any customer. Mathew wasn’t taken to hospital. The police had to be called just because of the nature of the incident. But they were just glad that he wasn’t harmed.”
Another source in the village added that the comedian had made a “miraculous escape” from the incident.

Amber Heard came out as bisexual to help others

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Amber Heard was inspired to come out as bisexual to empower herself and other people coming to terms with their sexuality.
The 32-year-old actress felt it was her “responsibility” to tell the world about her sexuality at GLAAD’s 25th anniversary event back in 2010 and to remove to “taboo” surrounding bisexuality so she could help young people with the same sexuality feel “less inadequate” and give them “someone they could relate to”.
In an interview with IO Donna magazine, she said: “It was a period when my colleagues were increasingly demanding privacy and at the same time being bisexual was considered a taboo. But to be silent about something means to admit underneath that, that thing is wrong. But I knew it was not. So I told about myself, to describe reality in a truthful way and to offer young people, someone, they could relate too, since people in my generation had grown up without any person to reference. Who knows, thanks to me, maybe someone has felt less inadequate.
“It is a responsibility that I feel rooted in me. The great thing about this job is that it offers me an important platform, but I have a duty to give something back. To talk about justice, to make my roles have an impact … it’s the least I can do.”
The ‘Aquaman’ star was in a relationship with female photographer Tasya van Ree back from 2008 until 2012 and then she went on to marry Johnny Depp, whom she is now divorced from.
Amber is a supporter of the #MeToo movement and she is proud of what changes it has helped bring in to the film industry so far but is adamant there is much more that needs to be done to achieve true equality for women in the business.
She said: “I am happy that the conversation has changed radically, today there is much more awareness. But women are at a crossroads.
“We are galvanized because we finally know what is ours, what is our place, but at the same time, we are exhausted by the attitudes that so far have held us back, diminished us or reduced us to objects. The film industry still has a lot to do to get back on track.”

Whoopi Goldberg is still ‘game’ to host Oscars

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Whoopi Goldberg is still “game” to host the Oscars.
The 63-year-old media mogul has already hosted the prestigious ceremony four-times, first in 1994, 1996, 1999 and in 2002, however the ‘Sister Act’ star said to be determined to take on the job again, after Kevin Hart quit following the controversy surrounding his previous homophobic tweets.
Speaking to The New York Post’s Page Six column, a source said: “Everyone is hoping they’ll do a series of presenters and have no formal host.
“Whoopi really is game to do it though.”
Kevin Hart, 38, stepped down from presenting next month’s ceremony after some of his past controversial tweets emerged, which he has since spoken out twice to apologise for, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are now said to be lining up a select group of A-listers to introduce the segments rather than one host.
Sources have told Variety that barring an 11th hour change of heart, the show’s producers are planning to focus on music in film skits due to likely nominees Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar and Dolly Parton, rather than have one individual kicking the ceremony off with a monologue of quips.
Insiders insisted the idea of Kevin returning to host the ceremony, which will take place at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre on February 24th, is 100 per cent dead.
The comedian confirmed as much in an interview earlier this week.
He said: “I’m not hosting the Oscars this year. It’s hard to predict what can happen … right now I don’t have the time.”
The American actress previously confessed the audience “need someone to take them through things” during the ceremony.
Goldberg said: “If you want to go host-less, that’s your prerogative. I think it’s a dumb idea. People need someone to take them through things. I think it needs to be somebody who loves the films.
“Now, I realise I may not be anybody’s first choice .. I’m also problematic!”

Duchess of Sussex to take over four patronages

By

-

OHMYGOSSIP — The Duchess of Sussex is to become the patron of four organisations.
Queen Elizabeth II has passed on patronages for The National Theatre and The Association of Commonwealth Universities, roles the Queen has held for 45 and 33 years respectively, to Duchess Meghan, 37, and the pregnant royal will also take on Patronage of two additional charities as part of her official working portfolio – Smart Works and Mayhew.
Meghan – who is married to Prince Harry – will be supporting the National Theatre as she is a “strong believer in the arts” and believes they can be used to join different communities.
The official Kensington Palace Twitter account wrote: “The duchess is a strong believer in using the arts to bring people from different backgrounds and communities together. @NationalTheatre’s mission is to make world class theatre that’s entertaining, challenging and inspiring – and to make it for everyone.”
The former ‘Suits’ actress will also take over the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the world’s first and oldest international university network, and the only organisation representing higher education across all 53 Commonwealth countries, as she believes in “accessible education for all”.
The duchess – who was known as Meghan Markle prior to her marrying into the British Royal Family – will also be working with Mayhew, a charity which uses innovative ways to reduce the number of animals in need through proactive community, and educational initiatives and preventative veterinary care.
Kensington Palace tweeted: “The duchess has long understood the connection between animals and community welfare.”
Finally, Meghan will work alongside Smart Works, a company which helps long term unemployed and vulnerable women regain the skills, confidence and tools to succeed at job interviews, return to employment and transform their lives.

Frank Ocean made Instagram public to ‘control’ his image

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Frank Ocean made his Instagram profile public because the way he was being portrayed “wasn’t even close to correct”.
The 31-year-old star had been secretly posting away unknowingly to his fans since May 2017, under the username “@blonded”, but in November, he finally let his fans have an insight to his daily life.
Since then his account has gone from around 400,000 followers to 1.1 million.
Frank says he made his profile open to all because he wants to be in “control” of his public image.
In an interview with February’s edition of GQ Magazine, he explained: “I feel like there was dissonance between how I was seen by the audience and where I was actually.
“I feel like between the numbers of zero to ten, in between every number there’s infinity, you know?
“I would describe a person as the space between the symbols, beyond the language. “That dissonance – the word being a big container for how I was feeling … the way I was seen was not even close to correct. It’s still not correct, either.”
Frank rarely gives interviews but feels that when he does, the focus tends to be on the one thing he’s working on, which makes the “stakes higher”.
He concluded: “With some pop stars, the idea of them is maybe more balanced or fully formed: a half-dozen magazine covers, x amount of interviews, a daily influx of media.
“When you’re completely minimal with media, there’s a lot of pressure on whatever one thing you’re doing, the stakes are higher.
“Social media helps that, ’cause you’re fully in control and can message that how you want.”
The first image Frank shared to the app was a mirror selfie showing off his six-pack.
The ‘Swim Good’ hitmaker simply captioned it: “Welcome.”
Other images on his profile include ones of the musician with his pals Tyler, the Creator, SZA and Zoe Kravitz.
More recently he has shared pictures of his fashion designs and studio snaps, suggesting new music is on the way.
Frank hasn’t released an album since ‘Blonde’ in 2016, his most recent singles are 2017’s ‘Biking’ featuring Jay-Z and Tyler, the Creator, ‘Lens’ and ‘Protector’.
And he previously admitted he doesn’t plan on sticking to the record format in the future.
He said: “With this record [‘Blonde’] in particular, I wanted to feel like I won before the record came out, and I did, and so it took a lot pressure off of me about how the record even would perform after the fact. Once the goal is met, everything else is lagniappe. It’s not essential for me to have a big debut week, it’s not essential for me to have big radio records.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jonathan Cheban is “sickened” by ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ being cancelled.
The reality TV star last just days in the famous house back in 2016 before walking out, but he’s insisted he always had a lot of love for the Channel 5 show before it was axed in September last year.
Speaking to Digital Spy, he said: “It doesn’t matter [that I walked out], I thought ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ was amazing and I’m a huge fan of the show.
“I’m devastated [it’s been axed]. The fact I was in the UK and I couldn’t watch it… This is usually when it’s on. I run home every night to watch it.
“The fact that it’s not on is sickening to me. I can’t believe they would cancel ‘Big Brother’! It’s like an institution!”
Jonathan revealed while he was offered a “very generous” sum to appear on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ at the time, but instead decided to go with ‘CBB’.
The businessman – who is also close friends with Kim Kardashian West – suggested the programme needs a “revamp” of sorts, but added he hopes another channel “pick it up” to continue its legacy.
He said: “They should have revamped the show in a cool way. I didn’t like how they did the two bedrooms thing – I think that killed the whole thing.
“I hope another network will pick it up. I used to watch it on my computer. I don’t even turn a computer on all year unless it’s to watch ‘Celebrity Big Brother!’ ”
