Kanye West has dragged himself away from Kim Kardashian's massive posterior to record a new album. Cruel Winter will follow autumns GOOD Musi cCruel Summer compilation.
The news was confirmed by West protege Big Sean -
Oh God. Swerve. Yeah, you're gonna get it," Big Sean told DJ Semtex. "I don't know about that. You gotta wait and see man, I don't know. "It can't be Cruel Spring. It's gotta be in a timely fashion. I know I did something for it, for Cruel Winter, and I was like 'Godammit, I need to cut this for my album because it's really good'.
"But either way, that's how 'Clique' was. 'Clique' was supposed to be for my album and ended up going on Cruel Summer. I was like 'Godammit'.
"I'm still on a song with Jay-Z and Kanye, but it originally was going to be my first single for my next album. We got so many singles that it doesn't even matter."
With girlbands comes drama and histrionics , and no female group came with more drama , or indeed , more talent than the legendary TLC. Their litany of up and downs from 1992 up to the tragic death of Lisa "Left Eye " Lopes in 2002 , would make the Sugababes look like Wilson Phillips.
So , how fitting that music station VH1 plans to translate this drama onto the silver screen for a biopic set to start shooting in January 2013.
The project is to be helmed by screenwriter Kate Lanier who oversaw the Oscar nominated Tina Turner biopic Whats Love Got To Do With It.
And she certainly wont be short of material in telling the rise , fall and rise again of Tionne "T-Boz " Watkins , Rozonda "Chili " Thomas and the late Lisa " Left Eye " Lopes.
Quite simply , TLC are the greatest girlband of all time. Platinum guzzling albums such as the iconic CrazySexyCool and FanMail spawned classics such as Waterfalls , No Scrubs , Unpretty , Creep and Diggin On You.
But at the height of their success in 1995 with CrazySexyCool and the beloved Waterfalls lauded with numerous MTV Video Music Awards , the band were declared bankrupt. T-Boz was later diagnosed with Sickle Cell Anaemia , Left Eye went into rehab after burning down her boyfriend;s house , and a contract dispute with label LaFace , saw the bands fortunes dwindle in spectacularly public fashion. They were declared bankrupt despite history making sales of CrazySexyCool.
In fighting followed the comeback success of 1999's FanMail , when Left Eye challenged Chili and T-Boz to release a 3CD set of solo albums, whereby the public would decide who was most talented. It was Left Eye who would release solo material in 2000 , the acclaimed Supernova which was met with moderate success.
Tragedy struck on April 25th 2002 , as the girls were in the middle of recording 4th album 3D. Lisa "Left Eye " Lopes was killed in a car crash in Honduras.
TLC effectively disbanded in 2003 , but talk has been rife of a 20th anniversary tour next year.
As for the biopic , no names have cropped up to play the legendary trio as yet.
50 Cent has reunited with old mentor Eminem , and brought Maroon 5's Adam Levine along for the ride on his new single. My Life serves as the precursor to next Spring's Street King Immortal , almost 10 years after breakthrough Shady produced smash In Da Club.
Pop's latest heavyweight hook up between Will.I Am and Britney Spears has stormed the US iTunes Chart. Scream And Shout , the follow up to the massive Eva Simmons assisted Is This Love , took the Number 3 spot after just 24 hours on sale.
The track trails Will I Am's forthcoming WillPower album. It's video will premiere later tonight on X Factor USA
Having had one of the biggest hits of the year with summer anthem Feel The Love , Hackney's Rudimental have unveiled a free download. Hell Could Freeze Over featuring Angel Haze premiered on Zane Lowe's Rado 1 show last night. It's the third release from their forthcoming , as yet intitled album , due for release next year.
The collective are currently riding high with current hit Not Giving In featuring John Newman and Alex Clare.
The Stone Roses triumphant comeback continues , with news they are to headline next Junes' Isle of Wight Festival.
Following a storming live comeback this year , the Madchester icons will play their only UK festival date on Friday June 14th 2013 at the legendary festival. In addition to a one-off gig in Dubai at the Media City Amphitheatre on February 21, 2013, the band will also play two shows at Finsbury Park in London and another at Glasgow Green in June 2013. Support for the Glasgow show includes Primal Scream, Jake Bugg and The View. Support for the London shows will be announced shortly.
Tickets for next Junes' Isle of wight Festival go on sale tomorrow (November 28th )
It may not have been as vulgar or vitriolic as Chris Brown's tasteless tirade , but Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson is the latest musician to vent on Twitter.
Following a performance in Koln , Germany , a miffed Manson took to the social networking site to lament the subdued reaction from that night;s crowd.
She tweeted -Koln you were so strangely subdued! Sold out show but so cold? Funny. I know you love us but why couldn't you show it? We still love you. Sx"
When cornered by a fan over her comments , she responded " Oh puhlease........BLOW ME " After another fan waded in , the fiesty Scotswoman replied "You can BLOW me too "
As it escalated Manson tweeted "YUP FUCK OFF DUDE. I'm not in the LEAST charming. Never said I was. Ha ha ha ha.....goodbye...sad you are so sensitive HA! sx
When pressed for an apology , Manson similarly tweeted " Blow Me ...you owe me an apology "
Gatbage were one of the biggest bands of the mid-90's with classics such as Stupid Girl , Only Happy When It Rains and I Think I'm Paranoid
Following a seven year absence , Garbage returned this year with Not Your Kind.
