Gwen Stefani Says 16-Year-Old ‘Voice’ Singer Lauren Frihauf Is Her ‘Dream’ Contestant
“Your voice has so much style and personality, and you have that wiggly little vibrato and then on top of that, though, you have all this hugeness,” she continued. “To be able to do all those things at once and be 16 years old, you’re like my dream person to work with on this show.” Legend was left outnumbered, with both Clarkson and Shelton rallying behind Stefani as the contestant’s future coach. “Kelly and I used to be friends,” the “All of Me” singer joked when he was met with zero support.

Michael B. Jordan To Produce ‘Static Shock’ Film For DC
Source: Rich Fury / Getty Looks like Michael B. Jordan might be making the move from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to DC’s film universe, but not in the way you’d expect him to. According to Variety, the man who made “Killmonger” a fan-favorite villain in the classic film Black Panther (R.I.P. T’Challa), is preparing to lend his talents to DC’s struggling film division by stepping behind the cameras and producing a film adaptation of Static Shock. Producing the upcoming film through his Warner Bros.-based Outlier Society banner, B.

Black Ops: Kanye West Takes Issue With Issa Rae’s Swipe At Him on SNL
Source: Neil Mockford / Getty Well, it seems like “presidential candidate” Kanye West got some skin as thin as the orange peel on the current “commander-in-chief” residing in the White House. For their latest episode, Saturday Night Live had Issa Rae as their host and during one of the sketches, dubbed “Your Voice Chicago,” she played an NAACP lawyer who was set to vote Black down the ballot with the exception of one Kanye West to whom she said “Kanye? F-him.” Seemed innocent and funny enough, but it rubbed Yeezus the wrong way. [embedded content] While many in the culture feel the same exact way about the MAGA rapper who’s running election interference on behalf of Republicans, Kanye took issue with the sketch and took to Twitter to air out his grievances a la Trump.

Steve Perry Insists Eddie Van Halen ‘Guacamole Incident’ Didn’t Make Him Cry
It was a food fight for the ages, but no tears were shed in the process… at least according to Steve Perry. The Journey singer, in an interview with Rolling Stone, opened up about an Eddie Van Halen story that has taken social media by storm. However, Perry says it isn’t entirely true. As the story goes, in 1978, when Journey and Van Halen were touring together, Perry unintentionally got caught up in the crossfire of a food fight. The result? He was hit with some guacamole and, according to the rumors, cried about it. Here’s how Perry recalled the infamous “guacamole incident:” “But one night, I decided I had to go tell him, ‘I just love you guys,’” Perry said. “I open the door and was about to say, ‘Hey, guys …’ Now, back in these days, guacamole came in a cottage-cheese–like contain...
Why Ava Max Wants to Write More Empowering Songs Like ‘Kings & Queens’
Below, Ava Max talks about her blockbuster year — and promises Billboard that there’s much more music to come, including a deluxe version of Heaven & Hell. How did “Kings & Queens” come together? It took about a year because we changed the song so many times. I wanted to make it about female empowerment and inequality, so I was taking my time with it. I’m a crazy perfectionist — if I don’t feel it in my bones, I’m not going to release it. I’ve been in five different studios for this song in Germany, [elsewhere in] Europe and Los Angeles. I’m happy I was patient. What about the idea for the music video? I usually write all of my treatments, and I really saw it like that. I saw it as royal, but in a modern, futuristic kind of way. I wanted it to feel simple, b...
