Billie Eilish Says She’d Love Bieber Even If He "Pooped" On A Plate

Billie Eilish says she'd support Justin Bieber through anything, even if he, in her own words, "pooped and put it on a plate and put that in a store."

It goes without saying that pop stars Justin Bieber and Billie Eilish share a mutual love and respect for each other, with Biebz even getting very emotional recently when discussing his protective feelings over the younger singer. Billie has been an admitted "Belieber" since before she became a GRAMMY goddess, and she doubled down on her fandom while appearing in the season finale of his Seasons YouTube series. 

"Anything that he makes at all, I'm excited about," the "No Time To Die" singer gushingly said about her music idol, although she got a bit gross when she followed up by adding, "I don't care if he pooped and put it on a plate and put that in a store. I'm excited! Anything that Justin makes, I'm ready to go." We don't recommend you guys envision that sort of undying devotion, but at least she was able to clean it up a bit with a more understandable explanation by stating, "I would say that he's doing better and that makes me so happy because, you know, I like, care about him more than, like, anyone in my life. The fact that he's just moving forward and going, and going, and going, is huge. I think it's bigger than all of us even realize because it's easy to stop."

You can watch "The Finale" of Justin Bieber: Seasons below, which also features interviews with Quavo, Usher, Big Sean and others, but only if you're subscribed to YouTube Premium:

Dua Lipa Dragged For Attending A Strip Club Grammy After-Party With Lizzo

Is Dua Lipa not allowed to make it rain in the strip club?

Last year, 24-year-old, singer/songwriter Dua Lipa racked up two Grammy wins for Best New Artist and Best Dance Recording for her performance on "Electricity" alongside, Silk City. This year, the English musician was not nominated but did attend the 62nd annual Grammy Awards as a presenter. Following the ceremony, the "One Kiss" performer attended a Grammy Awards after-party alongside award-winners, Lizzo, Lil Nas X, Rosalía, and more to celebrate their historic night at a local Los Angeles strip club.

In a short clip that was originally posted to Lizzo's Instagram Story feed, Dua and company can be seen tossing money in the direction of several strip club employees as they charismatically entertain. Unfortunately, with Dua Lipa known for being a strong advocate for women's rights and feminism, and contributing these themes in her music, some participants in her fanbase didn't appreciate the model turned singer's presence in a strip club where women can end up victims of objectification. 

A series of enraged Twitter users came for Dua Lipa utilizing the hashtag, #DuaLipaIsOverParty, claiming that she and her musical comrades were sexualizing the strip club workers and wanted them to 'do better.' One of the Tweets attempting to drag Dua Lipa can be seen below:

Fortunately, some patrons came to the defense of the dark-pop artist claiming that it's ok for feminists to support sex workers in their place of business. Check out some of the Tweets below:

 

 

Regardless if people believe attending or participating in strip club activities is wrong or right is all dependant on their personal moral compasses. With Dua Lipa planning to release her sophomore studio album, Future Nostalgia (2020) in the first quarter of the year, she's ready to boost her brand as one of popular music's most recognizable personalities of the new decade. 

Check out the video of Lizzo, Dua Lipa, Lil Nas X, and more turning up in the strip club below.

Demi Lovato To Debut Song At The GRAMMYs That Details Pre-Overdose Struggles


She considered the song to be a “cry for help.”

As the 2020 GRAMMY Awards ceremony draws nearer — we’re just two days away! — many music fans are excited to see some of today’s biggest artists hit the stage for what’s sure to be a memorable night. However, one singer that everyone is looking to see is Demi Lovato as she makes her way back to performing following a rough couple of years that involved overcoming an overdose and other personal demons.

Looking as beautiful as ever in her official GRAMMY performer announcement post (seen above), Demi has been a voice for many people recently who are combating various issues in their own lives. Speaking with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, she describes the forthcoming single titled “Anyone” as a “special” song that acted as a “cry for help” as she was recording it just days before her now-infamous 2018 overdose.”This song was written and recorded actually very shortly before everything happened,” Demi tells Zane, following up by saying, “I recorded the vocals for it four days before [July 20].” She also mentions her confusion as to why nobody who heard the track beforehand could tell that she needed help, even saying she wishes she could “go back in time” and help that version of herself. Overall, we’re just glad the pop starlet is on the road to recovery and we continue to pray for her well-being.

Listen to Demi Lovato’s interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music below to hear her full explanation of “Anybody,” and be sure to watch her perform it live at the 2020 Grammys this Sunday (Jan 26) at 8PM ET/5PM PT on CBS:

Billie Eilish Teases Release Date For Second Album: "It’s Coming"

Billie Eilish's next album is on the way... sorta.

Coming off the success of her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019), Billie Eilish's massive fanbase is already looking for another musical offering from the 18-year-old pop phenom. This past weekend the "Come Out and Play" performer hit the stage at the 2020 iHeartRadio ALTer EGO music festival and took some time out to personally connect with fans and answer some questions about being nominated for multiple Grammys, when we could expect her sophomore album to be released, and more. 

During an interview with iHeartRadio, Eilish revealed that she was grateful for being recognized by the Recording Academy stating, "I mean, winning any Grammy at all is like... Who would ever think you'd win a Grammy, you know what I mean? I've never thought, 'Oh I'd win a Grammy someday!' So, genuinely if I get anything I'll be happy if I don't I'm gonna be happy too, 'cause just to be nominated, what more could I ask for?"

Eventually, the topic of the follow up to her debut album came across during the interview. The singer/songwriter was asked if fans could expect another musical offering this year to which Eilish responded,

"This year? No, but I will be making it this year. But next few years? It’s coming. When it’s made. It’s not made yet."

We might not receive a full-length Billie Eilish project this year but we can expect to get a documentary starring the "bad guy" singer to hit the Apple TV streaming service this year. Check out Billie Eilish's interview at the 2020 iHeartRadio Alter EGO music festival in its entirety below.
