Glee Drops Eminem’s Song

Ryan Murphy the creator of Glee (IMO the best musical TV series ever) has revealed that plans to cover one of Eminem’s songs on the show has been dropped because it is expensive.
Glee had planned to cover the rapper’s hit track “Lose Yourself” (OST for 8 mile) in one it’s episodes but had a change of heart after Em’s record label Aftermath Entertainment demanded a whooping $200,000 in rights
Apparently Murphy said it couldn’t be done cuz it was way over their budget. *sad faced, pouting, sulking, groaning*

Insults and Classy replies

Now for what i call a classy reply to an insult, Glee had eralier asked Kings of Leon for permisiion to let their song feature in the show. Well this is what their guitarist (Slash) had to say

We got asked about that (Glee) once already  but it got turned down…Glee is worse than Grease

*mouth agape* he didn’t just say that
Ryan (not letting some rockers have the last word) responded to this comment no insult this way (trust, its classic *wink*)

Usually I find that people who make those comments , their careers are over; they’re uneducated and quite stupid

*throwing fist in the air* yesss. I love you for that classy reply Ryan

Grammy Announces Additional Performers

The Recording Academy has official released the name of other artistes that are to perform at this year's Grammy Awards. The newly announced artiste that are to join the previously announced on the performance line up are Justin Bieber, his "big bro" Pop R&B star Usher, Jaden Smith, B.O.B, Bruno Mars, Janelle Monae, country music group Lady Antebellum and English rock band Muse.

Am sure you are wondering what is Jaden Smith doing in the performance equation, considering he is more of an actor. Apparently he was featured on a Justin Bieber track - "Never Say Never" where he dropped a rap verse, so am guessing he is going to bust at the Grammys.

The above named artistes are to join previously announced artiste - Eminem (best rapper alive, so sue me), Arcade Fire, Cee Lo Green, Lady Gaga, Miranda Lambert and Katy Perry. This year's Grammys will as usual feature special performances of one-time-only groupings. This year's collaboration (Grammy Moments) include groupings of Usher with his protégé Justin Bieber and karate kid star Jaden Smith; and B.O.B, Bruno Mars alongside Janelle Monae.

The Recording Academy also added that it will reveal more performers closer to the day of the awards itself. So am guessing all you Britney stans can STILL keep your fingers crossed and continue in fervent prayer

So whose performances are you looking forward to? Let me know. Drop a comment.

In other news rapper/mogul Eminem (the best selling artiste of the last decade & best selling artiste of 2010 in the U.S) has announced that he is to add two new acts to his Shady Records label

The artistes include Alabama rapper Yelawolf and rap supergroup Slaughterhouse which features Crooked I, Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden and Royce da 5'9''.

The best rapper alive (as far as am concerned) in a statement said the new signups are "kinda phase two of shady": In other words the next generation of Shady Records.
