Eminem Reading Festival performance to be cut from BBC broadcast

Eminem

News from the BBC camp is that Eminem and his team have requested for the BBC to cut any footage from their Reading and Leeds Festival broadcasts tonight.

 

The show, Eminem’s first UK appearance in recent years, has been hotly anticipated, however unfortunately the rapper’s request has prohibited any television or online broadcast, much to the dismay of his legions of UK fans who were not able to secure tickets to the weekend-long event.

This is not the first time the BBC has had artistry disputes for live streaming; earlier this year, The Rolling Stones blocked the broadcaster from showing the band’s full 2.5 hour headline set on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, instead opting for a one-hour highlight.

More news as we get it…. In the meantime, check out Eminem’s new track Survival below:

Ellie Goulding Taylor Swift Anything Could Happen

Taylor Swift welcomed Ellie Goulding onstage last night on the Los Angeles leg of the former’s RED tour.

After an incredibly warm introduction from Swift, Goulding appeared atop the set’s staircase, welcomed by the instrumental of her eponymous hit Anything Could Happen.

Whilst Swift aided briefly in parts, it was down to Goulding to perform a fairly euphoric version of the track to an excitable crowd.

The timing around the publicity of the performance could not have come better for Goulding, who’s currently riding high on the top spot on the UK Singles Chart with Burn; whilst a repackage of her album Halcyon Days goes on sale this Monday.

Check the Swift/Goulding footage below:

Kia Motors give Lady Gaga’s ‘Applause’ a bit more Soul

Kia Soul Lady Gaga Applause

Kia’s infamous dancing hamsters have gone all Gaga lately, thanks to the Applause singer’s stamp-of-approval on a new US TV spot for the growing Korean brand.

The advert for the car manufacturer’s latest sleek model, the 2014 Kia Soul, is set to air in the US just after Lady Gaga’s world premiere performance of her new single at this Sunday’s MTV VMA’s, and sees the dancing hamsters undergoing a sophisticated transformation, akin to the new sleek, grown-up tones of the facelifted model.

Kia has been on something of a windfall over the past few years, especially here in the UK. With a range of new models, designed by Peter Schreyer (who commandeered the original Audi TT), the brand recently entered the ‘hot hatch’ market with the launch of their stunning pro_cee’d GT. (As an FYI, Stagedoor FM were lucky enough to get behind the wheel of a pre-launch model a couple of months back, and it looks as great in the flesh as it does in the pictures!).

Backed by their industry-leading 7 year warranty, it’s no wonder their customers are shouting from the rooftops about the range. Head over to Kia’s UK website now to find out about the latest offers).

Anyhoo, we digress – back to the hamsters! Check out the hamster-esque Applause video below and click here to download Applause now. The track is taken from the multi-platinum-selling artist’s forthcoming album ARTPOP, available to preorder here.
