Adele Gives Money To Charity and Loved Ones

Posted by Christian Allaire on June 13th, 2011

Adele gives her money to charity and loved ones, reports Contact Music.

The jazz and blues singer claims she does so because she knows what it is like to struggle.

The 23-year-old singer claims she has had a tough upbringing, so after skyrocketing to fame, she wishes to help those in need.

“The cash has started trickling in, but I don’t come from any money so I help people. I give money to charity and to friends and family,” she says.

Adele hopes to take a break from making music soon, though, and insists she won’t hire help once she is on vacation.

“I have an assistant but I do my own washing. My auntie cleans for me, but I love a good clean as well,” she says to Britain’s Glamour magazine.

“And when all these squillion pounds come in, I’m having a f***ing break so I won’t need any help… I don’t need assistance getting myself to the pub.”

Just another reason to love her – very humble and hardworking. She definitely deserves a break too, and every penny she earns.

Black Eyed Peas Taking A Break For ‘Personal Time’

Posted by Christian Allaire on May 23rd, 2011

Black Eyed Peas are taking a break to concentrate on “personal time,” reports CTV.

The hitmakers have eased their busy schedules in recent months and singer Fergie is pleased because it has meant she has been able to spend more time with her husband, actor Josh Duhamel.

“We’re taking a break … getting more of that personal time, but, you know, Josh and I have gotten to spend a lot more time together this year than other years, which is great,” says Fergie.

The 36-year-old singer, who married Josh in 2009 after five years of dating, also admitted the couple are keen to have a baby.

Asked if they are planning to start a family, she said “Oh yeah, of course. Not right this second. Not pregnant, for the record. But, yeah.”

While Fergie is enjoying spending time with her husband, her bandmate will.i.am is using his break to work on releasing a solo album .

Fergie says “I believe Will is coming out with a solo album, I’ve heard it, it’s called ‘Black Einstein’, and it’s amazing. I’ve been waiting for him to come out with this for so long, because I want it. He won’t give it to me. I want it for the gym. He’s so amazing. Such a genius lyricist and I’m really excited for his project.”

The Peas are always off and on, either focusing on solo stuff or doing stuff as a band, so this isn’t really shocking. I’m excited to here will.i.am’s new album – Fergie should release some solo stuff too, her last solo efforts were from her ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry’ days. It’s time for new things!

’30 Seconds To Mars’ Can’t Confirm Nor Deny That They Are Splitting

Posted by Christian Allaire on May 20th, 2011

Last week, MTV Canada reported that ’30 Seconds To Mars’ were set to break up after the conclusion of their current 2011 tour. The band is still not denying this news.

The rock band was taping their ‘MTV Unplugged’ episode, which is set to air in July, when MTV asked them point-blank about the breakup rumors.

“We can neither confirm nor deny these allegations,” guitarist Tomo Milicevic said, laughing. OK – is that a good sign, or a bad sign?

The band has spent the past year promoting their ‘This is War’ album, which has put aside their long-term plans of shooting a video for the album’s next single, ‘Night of the Hunter.’

“I would love to make another video. I think if I made another video, it would kill me, because I’ve been making videos for the past 18 to 20 months,” frontman Jared Leto said with a sigh. “When did we start ‘Kings and Queens’? October? I may have to go check myself in for some time away if I do another video.”

It’s a little sketchy that the band is not denying that they are breaking up. Maybe Leto will return to acting and focus his attention on that? Or maybe they are just taking a break, then reuniting soon. I expect a statement sometime soon in the future.

Beyonce is taking a little break reports USA Today. After an amazing 2009 in which she performed at President Obama’s inauguration, collaborated with Alicia Keys, an amazing tour and other notable events, Beyonce has said she needs some R&R.

After she performs at the Grammy Awards on January 31, she plans to do a whole lot of nothing. “I’ve always worked hard, but I feel like I worked harder this past year than I have since I was just starting out. I just had all these great opportunities. … It’s definitely time to take a break, to recharge my batteries,” the singer told USA Today. “I’d like to take about six months and not go into the studio. I need to just live life, to be inspired by things again.”

Posted by Emma Renda on September 10th, 2009

TV on the RadioAfter TV on the Radio topped year-end lists the world over last year with their sophomore release, Dear Science, the band have announced they are taking time off.

Lead singer Tunde Adebimpe told MTV last week the band will be taking some indefinite time off.

“This was the last show for us, for a while,” he told MTV following their set at the Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco. “We decided to take, well, the going theory is to take about a year off, because you have to go and live a life and change things up.”

The changing bit is already well underway, as the band have dispersed in various directions to pursue other projects.

Adebimpe teamed up with Massive Attack to record “Pray for Rain”, a track from the long-awaited EP Splitting the Atom slated for release Oct. 6.
