Her entire debut album, <em>14</em>, has leaked online!</p><br><p style="text-align: center;">The album was first leaked by a member of PopHatesFags earlier today. It contains all fourteen songs (see what she did there?)Â in wav format and shows off a more acoustic, rock and roll side of Charli's artistry.</p><br><p style="text-align: center;"><em>14</em> was originally recorded back in 2008, when Charli herself was only fourteen (we're sensing a theme here), although by the time it was releasd she was fifteen. The album never saw a wide release, but was distributed amongst Charli's friends and as a demo CD for press before a full release was cancelled.</p><br><p style="text-align: center;">On the album, Charli said:</p><br><br><p><br></p><p style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-left:{option}px">I was 14 when I recorded this album and fifteen when it was released in 2008. The songs I write are about my mates and experiences. I play all the instruments and do all the singing, including the backing vocals. My drumming is a bit shit so sorry for any mistakes (eeeeek!) I just got Darren (rude-boi !!) my producer, to drum on 'Lucy'. My influences at the moment are Hadoucken!; Kate Nash; Justice; Crystal Castles; Calvin Harris and things like afro-beatz and other jamz (brrrrrap!!). Also thanks to Lily Allen for having the balls to show us how it's done. If the whole world was a tortoise I'd have eight wheels".</div></p><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">

The fans have made it more than a single releasing; my fans have made it a really insane experience.Â Everyone always judges; my fans are a group that stands by me. I keep getting connected with a sound that is my own. I love making music.Â The song says where I am in my life right now.â€</div></p><p><br></p><p style="text-align: center;">As much as we love Miley herself, we're not sold on this track yet. It plays like some Ciara meets Kendrick Lamar meets will.i.am meets Snoop Lion collaboration, and we expected a little more from Miley (an up-tempo would be nice).</p><br><p style="text-align: center;">However, we feel like this will be the kind of song that grows on you the more you play it. Already we're starting to move to the beat, and we predict that this will be a bit of a summer hit for Miley.</p><br><p style="text-align: center;">What do you think of the track?

'You Changed' is a pretty typical R&amp;B slow jam, similiar to 'Nuclear', the last song we heard from the trio, and at this point it's getting pretty old.

She added that the album will feature production from ex-boyfriend and super-producer Afrojack, as well as features from hip-hop stars such as Lil Wayne.</p><br><p style="text-align: center;">"This is a lot different than my first album. It's really going to be house music," Paris said. "I think a lot of people don't know that music is my passion since I was a little girl. I'm very musically talented. This is more my thing [musically on this album], more of a club scene, more dance."</p><br><p style="text-align: center;">While the label may seem an odd fit for Hilton, this isn't the first time Hilton's been linked with it. Her first single from the project, 'Last Night', was released last year and featured Lil Wayne, who also joined her at her birthday party in March. In May, she and new label-mate Christina Milian cameoed inÂ Rich Gang's video for "Tapout," alongside Young Money stars Wayne, Birdman, Mack Maine and Nicki Minaj.</p><br><p style="text-align: center;">What do you think of Paris' new deal?

Since then, there have been about twenty release dates for the song, all of which go by without any sign of the track surfacing</p><br><p style="text-align: center;">According to Timbaland, the song's producer, we'll have to wait for the music video to premiere in order to hear the official version. But for now, we have this leaked version!</p><br><p style="text-align: center;">We're not 100% sold on the validity of this track. You can pretty clearly hear some crowds cheering in the background, which indicates it's fan made - but the vocals are much too crisp and processed sounding for it to be a live recording.</p><br><p style="text-align: center;">What do you think of the track?

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.pophatesfags.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Angelina-Jolie.png" rel="external nofollow"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-594" alt="Angelina Jolie" src="http://www.pophatesfags.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Angelina-Jolie-607x455.png" width="607" height="455"></a></p><br><p style="text-align: center;">Angelina Jolie has revealed that she underwent a double masectomy as a preventative measure for breast cancer.</p><br><p style="text-align: center;">The 37 year-old actress broke the news today in an opinion piece posted by The New York Times. In a candid, open article, Jolie explained her reasons for getting the surgery, as well as detailed descriptions of each surgery she underwent.</p><br><p style="text-align: center;">Read the full article below:</p><br><br><p><br></p><p style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-left:{option}px">My mother fought cancer for almost a decade and died at 56. She held out long enough to meet the first of her grandchildren and to hold them in her arms. But my other children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
We often speak of â€œMommyâ€™s mommy,â€ and I find myself trying to explain the illness that took her away from us. They have asked if the same could happen to me. I have always told them not to worry, but the truth is I carry a â€œfaultyâ€ gene, BRCA1, which sharply increases my risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer, although the risk is different in the case of each woman.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
Only a fraction of breast cancers result from an inherited gene mutation. Those with a defect in BRCA1 have a 65 percent risk of getting it, on average.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy. I started with the breasts, as my risk of breast cancer is higher than my risk of ovarian cancer, and the surgery is more complex.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
On April 27, I finished the three months of medical procedures that the mastectomies involved. During that time I have been able to keep this private and to carry on with my work.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
But I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience. Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into peopleâ€™s hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
My own process began on Feb. 2 with a procedure known as a â€œnipple delay,â€ which rules out disease in the breast ducts behind the nipple and draws extra blood flow to the area. This causes some pain and a lot of bruising, but it increases the chance of saving the nipple.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
Two weeks later I had the major surgery, where the breast tissue is removed and temporary fillers are put in place. The operation can take eight hours. You wake up with drain tubes and expanders in your breasts. It does feel like a scene out of a science-fiction film. But days after surgery you can be back to a normal life.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
Nine weeks later, the final surgery is completed with the reconstruction of the breasts with an implant. There have been many advances in this procedure in the last few years, and the results can be beautiful.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they donâ€™t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
It is reassuring that they see nothing that makes them uncomfortable. They can see my small scars and thatâ€™s it. Everything else is just Mommy, the same as she always was. And they know that I love them and will do anything to be with them as long as I can. On a personal note, I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive. So to anyone who has a wife or girlfriend going through this, know that you are a very important part of the transition. Brad was at the Pink Lotus Breast Center, where I was treated, for every minute of the surgeries. We managed to find moments to laugh together. We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
For any woman reading this, I hope it helps you to know you have options. I want to encourage every woman, especially if you have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, to seek out the information and medical experts who can help you through this aspect of your life, and to make your own informed choices.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
I acknowledge that there are many wonderful holistic doctors working on alternatives to surgery. My own regimen will be posted in due course on the Web site of the Pink Lotus Breast Center. I hope that this will be helpful to other women.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
Breast cancer alone kills some 458,000 people each year, according to the World Health Organization, mainly in low- and middle-income countries. It has got to be a priority to ensure that more women can access gene testing and lifesaving preventive treatment, whatever their means and background, wherever they live. The cost of testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2, at more than $3,000 in the United States, remains an obstacle for many women.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
I choose not to keep my story private because there are many women who do not know that they might be living under the shadow of cancer. It is my hope that they, too, will be able to get gene tested, and that if they have a high risk they, too, will know that they have strong options.</div><br><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.</div></p><br><div style="margin-left:{option}px">
</div><p><br></p><p style="text-align: center;">Personally, we're hugely glad that Angelina's okay and seems to be making a full recovery. We wish the best for her and her family and applaud her bravery for being so honest about the procedure.</p><br><p style="text-align: center;">What do you think of the news?

Four years later, he dropped the entire group, keeping only Dawn Richard as a part of his Diddy - Dirty Money group.</p><br><p style="text-align: center;">Supposedly, the girl's feel as though Diddy was keeping too much money to himself as leader of the group, and are keen to put the past behind them.</p><br><p style="text-align: center;">According to TMZ, the girls have plans to record and tour and are planning on using the 'Danity Kane' name, regardless of whether or not Diddy owns it.</p><br><p style="text-align: center;">With both Dawn Richard and Aubrey O'Day having relatively successful solo careers out of the group, we do wonder about the timing of the project. Will they continue to work as solo artists or be exclusive group members once again? What do you think of the reunion? Do you prefer Danity Kane as a group or as solo artists?

<p><a href="http://www.pophatesfags.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Lana-Del-Rey.jpg" rel="external nofollow"><img class=" wp-image-585 alignleft" alt="Lana Del Rey" src="http://www.pophatesfags.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Lana-Del-Rey.jpg" width="450" height="570"></a></p><p>
</p><p style="text-align: center;">PopHatesFags can exclusively reveal Lana Del Rey's next venture: a cover album!</p><p>
</p><p style="text-align: center;">An inside source has revealed to us that Lana's been wanting to do a cover album for some time, but has only recently started to take the idea seriously after a jam session with boyfriendÂ Barrie-James Oâ€™Neill.</p><p>
</p><p style="text-align: center;">Supposedly, the pair were singing an impromptu version of 'Summer Wine' in the studio when Lana decided to record the full song and release it for her fans on YouTube. This followed another cover that Lana had recently recorded: Leonard Cohen's 'Chelsea Hotel No. 2'.</p><p>
</p><p style="text-align: center;">It was then that Oâ€™Neill suggested she release a cover album, noting her vast array of influences and number of covers already recorded as good reasons for her to work on the project.</p><p>
</p><p style="text-align: center;">There's no word yet on a full tracklist, although fans can expect both 'Wine' and 'Chelsea' to make the cut. Apparently, Lana's also hoping for a cover of Elvis Presley's 'Blue Suede Shoes' to appear on the album, although her label is reluctant to agree due to licensing restrictions on Presley's work. Lana previously wanted to include the cover on <em>Born To Die</em> but was forced to cut it from the tracklist after theÂ exuberantÂ price asked by Presley's estate for her to cover the song. Lana's hoping that her recent success will persuade the label to include the cover.</p><p>
</p><p style="text-align: center;">Furthermore, Lana's label is reportedly rooting for her to include her cover of Nirvana's 'Heart-Shaped Box' on the album. Lana originally recorded the song after an acclaimed performance of the song last year, but decided not to put it on <em>ParadiseÂ </em>citing a desire for all original material on the album.</p><p>
</p><p style="text-align: center;">The album is expected to be quite short, at about eight tracks, five of which Lana has recorded. Lana intends for the album to be a filler for fans which will bridge the wait between <em>Paradise</em> and her next original album. Production is expected to be acoustic and simple, with few of the synths or samples found on <em>Born To Die</em>. Her label is also pitching the idea of her adding one original song to the end of the tracklisting, but Lana is keen to keep it an album full of only covers. No word yet on a potential title for the project, although Lana is reportedly tossing a few names around already.</p><p>
</p><p style="text-align: center;">Meanwhile, the singers is apparently surprised that fans didn't figure out her next venture before now. "Lana knows how intense her fans are," said our source, "and she expected them to guess [what she was doing] after she uploaded two covers in a row on YouTube". Oops!</p><p>
</p><p style="text-align: center;">What do you think of Lana releasing a cover album? Personally, we'd love to hear a mashup of 'Born To Die' with Rihanna's 'Diamonds' on the record - although we think that's wishful thinking! Which song would you love to hear her sing if you had the chance? Let us know over at the <a href="http://www.pophatesfags.org/forum" rel="external nofollow">forums</a>!</p>
