…and the claws are out!

In what appears to be another episode of “Somebody Pissed in Elton John‘s Cereal,” the piano-tickling legend wasn’t exactly in a laughing mood when quizzed on his thoughts on one of music’s most celebrated stageblazers – Janet Jackson.

Slamming the songstress with claims of lip-syncing, similar to those he hurled at her fellow pop queen Madonna years ago, John went all the way in and off on Jackson in his recent sit down with Rolling Stone magazine.

The reports already have JanFans in a furor, many of whom have taken to Twitter to speak out against the ever-outspoken ‘Tiny Dancer’ divo.  Did you miss any of the action?  It awaits below:

Christina Aguilera is sharing her gift with the world…online.

Yes, the ‘Marmalade’ spreading diva has teamed up with good people over at ‘Masterclass‘ to deliver an online vocal lesson for aspiring singers which sees her reveal the tricks behind her Grammy winning trade.

I met the people involved and I really felt confident that this is such a positive and great thing to do to allow people to have access to. It’s a class or courses being taught by the greats in what they do, in the fields they’ve been successful in. Allowing yourself the time to explore your passion is amazing. And at a great price. My experience with The Voice has also helped lead me to this place.

We’re sold.

In a lengthy stream of Tweets, the producer – who has crafted hits for the likes of Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Pink, and pretty much every major Pop star over the last decade – categorically denied claims that he sexually assaulted Ke$ha. He flat out states that he has never slept with her.

Do not cross Beyonce‘s BeyHive.

It’s a lesson many have learnt over the years, yet it’s one that was re-affirmed today.

Remember that protest we reported about; that was set to take place in the wake of the singer’s politically-charged performance of ‘Formation’ at the Super Bowl?

Well, that was today outside NFL headquarters in New York City.

Surprisingly, the organizers of the event didn’t show up (or were perhaps too cowardly to identify themselves.)
