Michael Buble Comes to Fainting Fan’s Rescue

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip

Michael Buble had to catch a fan who fainted in his arms.

The “Haven’t Met You Yet” hitmaker delighted the mystery woman by stopping to chat with her - but she passed out after being overcome by his presence. Buble admits that has happened to him before.

“I’d just finished a show and was outside having a cigarette and a drink. This girl about 22 or 23 started talking. I could tell she was nervous, we exchanged pleasantries and then she passed out and I caught her!” he recalled. “A minute later she came round and just looked at me and said, ‘Oh God, what have I done?’ She was so embarrassed. That’s actually happened twice now.”

The singer always enjoyed being stopped and recognized by fans and doesn’t understand why other stars complain about the attention fame attracts.

“Sometimes people recognize me - I like it, it’s nice. I wanted to be famous and this is what comes with it. I’ve always been passionate about music but of course I wanted to be famous. To me, being successful at singing equaled fame,” he said.

Lady Gaga says she’d die without fame

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Dance, Pop

According to Lady Gaga, she would “die” if she wasn’t famous. Lady Gaga, who is well known for her eccentric fashion sense, bizarre make-up choices, and party lifestyle, can’t stand the thought of life away from the public eye, and wouldn’t be able to cope with normal life.

Lady Gaga said: “There are times when it can be a lot to deal with but always when I get up in the morning I try to find that very joyful place that reminds me that I would die if someone took it all away. If someone did that I wouldn’t be a person any more.”

After years of singing in clubs and penning tracks for stars including Britney Spears, the 23-year-old beauty - who topped the UK charts with her debut album The Fame - is grateful of her newfound success. She explained: “I have such an appreciation for where I am in my life because I’ve struggled and because I couldn’t get signed, and because I couldn’t get played on the radio.”

But the eccentric star, who went to the elite Convent of the Sacred Heart School with Paris and Nicky Hilton, relishes the opportunity to be herself. She said: “Right now the only thing that I am concerned with in my life is being an artist. I had to suppress it for so many years in high school because I was made fun of but now I’m completely insulated in my box of insanity and I can do whatever I like.”

Quote of the Day: Kanye West Wants Fewer Fans

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Hip-Hop & Rap

“I made a decision. I wanna make popular music, but I want less fans. I want the freedom of having less fans. It’s like the freedom of having less money. If you have less money, you have less responsibility. It’s like Björk. If she wanted to pose naked, you’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s Björk.’ But if I wanted to pose naked, people would draw all type of things into it. I definitely feel like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I’ll pose naked. I break every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture.”
