3New Kids On The Block’s Jonathan Knight comes out as gay!

Update: we just found out he came out two weeks ago when we were disconnected in Rio De Janeiro.
Is it finally time for NKTOB member Jonathan Knight to come out? We saw him all queeny in a Scissor Sisters concert last year and, before that, once partied with him in Ogunquit, Maine. We always knew, but he never came out publicly, could this be this coming out? Jackie from The Eagle in the South End of Boston always told us he was! And who is the guy? So many questions from one tweet. Of course, all of the above is alleged.

Robyn to continue in mini-album format!

“The plan is to keep going and recording shorter albums so that I can keep my touring and my recording processes equal,” Robyn, whose single “Dancing On My Own” was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording, tells Billboard.com. “I just want to keep a flow, just stay inspired and keep working, and it feels like it’s possible with this way of working. I wasn’t sure in the beginning if people would get it, but they did, which is really cool. I’m touring a lot more than I thought I would, so I’m very happy about how I’ve been able to connect to my audience.”

So, “Express Yourself“, we mean, “Born This Way” is not only the fastest selling song in iTunes history and landed at #3 in the UK charts based on three day sales, but now Lady Gaga has a big chance of clocking in the 1,000th number one single in Billboard history, miss honey. Deserved?

Enough about Lady Gaga ripping of Madonna’s “Express Yourself.” “Born This Way will always be in Lady’s Gaga’s oeuvre and it won’t go away. Now. let’s talk about the birth/egg concept Lady Gaga opted for during her Grammy Awards appearance. A few years back, when Bjork was promoting her music Dancer In The Dark along its with its soundtrack, she came down the red carpet wearing a swan dress and laid a couple of eggs along the stroll.

Blige and more to name a few. The single is titled “Save The Day” and it’s supposed to have a Butterfly-era feel to it, apparently.

Lofty Prediction: Lady Gaga’s music video for “Born This Way” will be banned!

Lady Gaga’s third album is not about to land without a bang. Although many people thought her performance during the Grammy Awards wasn’t that good, Lady Gaga could have something bigger up her sleeve. We think that the egg thing (which was already done by Bjork) wasn’t enough to initiate the launch of the third album. Rumors of the Lady Gaga giving birth in the video for “Born This Way” and/or wearing crucifix stilettos had us thinking that this dame wants to cause more controversy ahead of the release. We have a feeling that the video might be great, but she will push it even further to make headlines. What do you think?

Introducing… Rhian Benson
2
The influence of classic soul and jazz greats of yesteryear comes to mind when you hear British/Ghanaian Rhian Benson sing. Her songs are effortless, elegant and timeless in a way that is rare in this era of artists. With the help of Danish rising star production duo, Daniel Fridell and Jonas Rendbo, Rhian has diligently and lovingly cooked up the ingredients for her new album title ‘Hands Clean’ to be released on Valentines Day - Feb 14th 2011. The exciting new sound she drapes her voice across is a stark and soulful collection of pulsating electronic grooves; a hidden ground where Sade meets DJ Shadow. The MOBO Award winning artist’s sophomore album -‘Hands Clean’- represents a strong evolution of her unique style and ventures into fresh and bold sonic terrain for the critically acclaimed singer/songwriter.
