Lana Del Rey Releases Once Upon A Dream for Disney's Maleficent

With today's release of Disney's Maleficent;a re-imagining of the classic fairytale Sleeping Beauty, singer Lana Del Rey seems a fitting choice to perform the haunting signature track Once Upon A Dream which appears on the official score.


Written and composed by James Newton Howard who also provided the soundtracks for Hunger Games, Space Jam and Batman Begins, the CD can be previewed on Amazon here.



The singer's anticipated comeback began when she released the sultry West Coast a month ago along with Shades of Cool this week. Her second album Ultraviolence is set for release on 16th June in the UK in the midst of an interview last year in which she admitted running out of ideas for material.

Rihanna Taunts Teenage Fan For Wearing Similar Outfit to Her

Rihanna might be a (supposed) style icon, but she's far from the ideal role model if her latest stunt is anything to go on. The self-proclaimed bad girl joined a gang of cyber bullies as they proceeded to taunt 16 year-old Alexis Carter after she modelled a quirky outfit worn by the singer on the red carpet back in 2010. 



Being one of her biggest fans, Carter attempted to emulate the Alexandre Vauthier jumpsuit Rihanna donned for the Echo awards in Berlin, opting to wear a similar ensemble for her school prom. To her dismay, neither the internet or RiRi herself were impressed. 



Young people in the school began posting images of her on social media under the hashtag #PromBat, instead of Rihanna coming to the girl's defence, she decided to make fun of Carter on her own Twitter, retweeting the messages she found funniest. As well as this she created two images, one showing herself in the Vauthier outfit next to the 16 year-old in her outfit, and another with Carter next to the Wu-Tang iconic bat-esque logo. 



In a statement to Fox, Baltimore, Carter said:
"I was very offended. Why throw shade on it when you had on the exact same thing? The poses was different but the outfit wasn't. She don't love her fans like she says she does."

Proving her further maturity this week, the singer dyed her hair bright pink and proceeded to bombard Twitter with a number of selfies.. *yawn*

La Roux Releases New Single Let Me Down Gently and Confirms New Album

La Roux is back! 



After months of endless rumours, it has finally been confirmed that our favourite Brit-synth pop artist La Roux will be releasing her new album entitled Trouble in Paradise this July. 

She posted her comeback single Let Me Down Gently on her Youtube channel today, a slow-burning, 80's-esque single that sees her back at her best. 




Elly Jackson's dreamy vocals draw in the listener, and although she hasn't produced a single since her self-titled album back in 2009, this album will be highly anticipated.
