Estelle Needs A Makeover?

Spotted At - Concrete Loop

According To Reports Surfacing Today, The Queen Of UK Hip-Hop Soul - Estelle Is Under Pressure To Get Surgery!

Her US record label; Atlantic, have stated that Estelle needs to lose her image, fix her teeth & have a full make over. Check the report below lifted from Digital Spy.

US label Atlantic Records wants Estelle to have surgery on her teeth to help her break into the American charts, say reports.

Her bosses also want her to ditch the boyish haircut she has in her 'American Boy' video and would like to give her image a complete overhaul, according to The Sun.

"The American executives are adamant she makes a lot of significant changes," said a source. "They want rid of her tomboy hair and want her to get her teeth fixed.

"Estelle is not happy. She feels her teeth and the rest of her look are a big part of her character."

The R&B star has spent the last three weeks at number one on the UK singles chart.

While I am a firm believer in 'personal improvement', in my opinion, there is more chance of Soulja Boy having a critically acclaimed album than Estelle listening to this ish! She has always had her own style, image, character, attitude & personality since she came on the music scene years ago, here in the good old UK.

Also, has no one ever noticed that Estelle is mad fashionable, that girl has got some style, I hope she tells them where to stick their new image! Keep your head up 'stelle

Amy Winehouse Denied US Visa

Everyone's Favourite Drug Addict; Amy Winehouse, Has Been Denied A Visa To Enter The USA, Meaning She Will Not Attend This Years Grammy Awards.

Amy, who has been attending Rehab here in the UK, was hoping to go to the 50th anniversary of this years awards, where she was nominated in 6 categories! But the US government denied her the entry to the country after her much publicised drug habit & all round bad behaviour.

However, the 'Rehab' singer has now confirmed that she will be able to perform at the Grammy's via a special Video Link, which also means she will be able to give her usual thank you speech (which usually involves just saying two words - thank you).


Amy's father has also confirmed that her denied Visa has not dampened her spirits & she is making good progress in rehab sessions. I think this is a great step for Amy, although people are all to quick to make a joke of her, she is an outstanding talent & if she sorts herself out, will become a well respected, world class artist.

Everyone remembers what a mess Mary J Blige used to be, many said she would not live to be 30, but look at her right now.

Jay Z To Headline Glastonbury Festival

Source - BBC

The Self Proclaimed 'Best Rapper Alive'; Jay Z, Has Been Confirmed As The Headlining Act For This Year's Glastonbury Festival, Here In The UK.

The organiser of the event; Michael Eavis told the BBC that he wanted to - "Break With Tradition" & "Put On Something Totally Different". Adding that - "He Will Appeal To The Young People & Under 25s For Sure".

The festival, which is held annually each June, normally attracts more of a 'rock crowd', with acts like U2 or Coldplay usually headlining the main stage. In recent years, Hip-Hop acts at UK festivals have received abuse from rock fans, at the Reading Festival for example, 50 Cent had bottles of urine thrown at him & was forced to leave the stage. lol.


I'm not so sure this will get the Hip-Hop heads going to Glastonbury, the event is synonymous with bad weather & huge lakes of mud. I can't see people replacing their 'Box-Fresh' trainers, with big boots, just to see one act, even if it is the Jigga-Man.

Name Missy Elliott's New Album

After Some Speculation Over The Pending Title Of Missy Elliott's New Album, She Has Made The Decision To Let Her Fans Choose A Name.

I have heard of artists letting their fans choose new singles or tracks to be on albums, but never to actually name it. But, Missy has never been one to stick to the norm, she has always been an innovator & always will be.


I'm not so sure on the idea myself, I think the title of an artists album should reflect the mood of the record or person ( like Mary J's Growing Pains ), but then again, she will have final say on the suggestions, so I'm sure she will choose something special.

50 Cent Makes Paris Hilton Cry

I'm Not A Hater Of Many people, I Think That Everyone Has A Good Part To Them, But One Person I Don't Like It Paris Hilton.

So I was excited to hear that everyone's favourite generic rapper; 50 Cent, upset her so much that he made her cry.

Fiddy was booked to perform at Paris' birthday party, for that amount of money who wouldn't? Paris then thought it would be a great idea to climb up on the stage & start dancing (one of her many talents lol), but 50 didn't think it was that great, as he told her to: "Get The F*** Of The Stage".

Paris was apparently so shocked & upset that someone could be so mean! That she broke down in tears & had to go sit down, awww! Anyway, if your like me, you will take great pleasure in checking out the video below.

As Always, I Am Not Reporting This As The Truth, This Is A Rumour!

This comes as further rumours have emerged about a performance by Jackson at this years Grammy Awards. I think this is more likely to happen over the Superbowl gig, but watch this space & see what happens.

Mariah Carey Update

Superstar Diva Mariah Carey Has Once Again Changed Her Mind About The Debut Single From Her New Album; That Chick.

There were originally rumors that the first track to be lifted from her new record would be Mirage, which seemed like a good choice as it featured serial hit-maker; T-Pain. Then Def-Jam seemed to drop this idea & go for the title track, but have scrapped that in favor of a song called; Touch My Body.

I can totally see why Def-Jam are nervous about getting it right, the first question that will be asked when the album drops will be - 'Is it as good as her last album' - which was near perfection IMO. I never thought I would be excited about getting my hands on the next Mariah album, but I honestly am.

Source - Concreteloop

If Rumors Are To Be Believed, The Current Queen Of R&B; Beyonce Knowles, Is To Duet With Living Legend; Tina Turner.

The supposed duet is to take place at this years Grammy Awards, on Feb 10th. The ceremony was in jeopardy after the 'Writers Guild Strike' threatened to picket outside the famous awards, but this threat has now been withdrawn, leaving the A-listers free to attend.

If this does go ahead it will definitely be a good look, most people seem to have forgotten what a talent Tina is, & the fact that she was the Beyonce of her time.
