This is a mess. After everyone making a big deal about the new phase in their career the whole thing just fizzled out, and now they go back to their original name? I'm not here for another false start, release an album and then I'll care about your fifteenth name change.

I'd never heard of this before but I actually like it! It's a good blend of dance beats and soft folky vocals. Wynter Gordon should take notes.

If you think being a Little Monster is hard, try having Utada Hikaru as your fave. Considered by many to be the Queen of J-Pop, the singer has released eight studio albums, sold over 52 million records worldwide, and has the highest selling album ever in Japan with her debut, 1999's First Love. A record she set way back in 2001, when Distance gained the highest first week sales of an album in a single territory worldwide, was only broken last week with Adele's major 25 rollout. But she's left fans hungry for more after announcing an extended hiatus back in 2010, an unprecedented move for an artist of her calibre. But if what's being said is true, all that is about to change at the head of next year. According to an unconfirmed report from Sports Hochi, a popular Japanese newspaper, Utada is set to release her ninth studio album - presumably in Japanese - in spring of next year. Furthermore, they claim that a promotional strategy has already been planned for the album, with one song from the record being used as the theme song for a Japanese TV drama and another being used in a news program. A comeback from Hikki certainly wouldn't be unexpected. Back in July, the 'Come Back To Me' singer revealed that she had been working on a new album for the past nine months. Her father and manager has also alluded constantly to a new release in the form of a soundtrack single for next year's Kingdom Hearts III, making it the third theme song for the series that Utada has composed after 'Simple and Clean' and 'Sanctuary'. If and when it's released, Utada's new album will be her first since greatest hits compilation Single Collection Vol. 2 in 2010, which went double platinum, and her first musical release since soundtrack single 'Sakura Nagashi' was released in 2013. While she briefly came out of retirement to host a radio show, KUMA Power Hour, back in 2013, communication since then has been limited to ocassional blog posts and Twitter updates. If nothing else, Utada certainly has the inspiration to pen a stellar album. Since her retirement five years ago, the popstar has faced the loss of her mother to suicide in 2013, traversed through Europe on a soul-searching journey which involved meeting Skrillex, moved to Italy to marry her notoriously secretive Italian boyfriend, and given birth to a baby boy in July of this year. Matched with her endlessly poetic lyrics and vast span of references that fuse both western and eastern worlds, we may just have the ingredients for another perfect album from Hikki, like 2006's Exodus. What are you expecting from Utada's new album? Do you think she'll be able to match the brilliance of her previous success? Let us know your thoughts down below!

Is Sarah Paulson Dating a 72 Year Old Female?

Is Countess Dating a 87 Year Old Male? Why yes, I am dating @Cypher! Thank you for your ongoing support. I agree tho, as long as they're both happy then that's all that matters. I was just more surprised she was dating a woman at all cos I had no idea she liked girls. I can imagine her skinning you and using your tanned flesh as a crocodile skin bag. -
Lady Gaga Is Billboard's Woman of the Year!

Fair point! I feel like most of those acts aren't really big enough to deserve it but Lana and Florence definitely deserve some recognition. -

Britney Spears' 'Rebellion': All We Know
Main Pop Girl commented on Main Pop Girl's article in Unheard Of
It's all just hearsay though, right? I mean, everyone talking about the track at this point is just looking for publicity so I'm gonna take everything they say with a grain of salt. -
Still waiting for a proper Gaga duet. :vacuum:

The Eight Best Christmas Songs (As Chosen by PHF Members!)
Main Pop Girl posted an article in Throwback Thursday
The Christmas season is upon us, which means that everytime you venture out in the cold to your local mall, workplace or church you'll be blasted with the hollow sounds of sanctimonious carols and tinny holiday tunes that have been covered by as many popstars as Taylor Swift in an average calendar year. If you're looking to escape the sounds of carolers at your door, look no further: PHF has the answer for you! We asked our most-loved members (and @trayertrash) for their absolute favourite holiday anthems, compiled them into a list, and checked it twice. Then we put a brand new bow on it and regifted it to you as an early Christmas gift! Browse through our offerings and make sure you let us know your own favourite Christmas song in the comments below. @Baby V Alex: Britney Spears - My Only Wish (This Year) @Countess: Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You @Cypher: Cascada - Last Christmas @High Princess: Lady Gaga - White Christmas @infidelity: Hilary Duff - What Christmas Should Be @Matilda Mantis: Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett - Winter Wonderland @roger: Meg & Dia - Joey Had A Smoke @trayertrash: Adam Sandler - The Chanukah Song- 8 comments

What kind of reverse Warholian expedition is this cosmic journey?

I have dreams that it would be Kylie but it will probably be some flop gospel singer like it always is.

Ashley, please don't try to censor me. As a strong feminist and avid appreciator of the BDSMQI community I do not appreciate the constant discrimination faced by people like you on a daily basis! Fifty Shades of Grey is a true, honest and unflinching look at the life behind the handcuffs. Star Wars is just a bunch of nerdy homos playing dress up. I liked it too! I wouldn't say it's one of my favourites of the year, but it was decent. It was just a fun, silly action adventure movie - kind of like what James Bond used to be before they ruined the entire franchise with Daniel Craig.

Who do you think it should be instead of Gaga tho? When you think about it, all the other big pop girls like Britney, Rih, Katy and Taylor have been super quiet this year so idk who would have deserved it if not Gaga. Maybe Miley? -
Is Sarah Paulson Dating a 72 Year Old Female?
Main Pop Girl commented on Main Pop Girl's article in News
I know! It's not fair, Sarah should be dating me instead. -
In a somewhat bizarre, if endearing plot twist worthy of American Horror Story itself, AHS star Sarah Paulson has been linked romantically to Two and A Half Men legend Holland Taylor! While both actresses have yet to officially confirm the relationship, fans were quick to ship the 40 year old Paulson with the 72 year old Taylor after spotting a series of typically besotted Tweets from the latter stretching back to at least November. The two have clearly been spending a lot of time together, with shots showing them together on red carpets, at each others homes, and out on the town at romantic candlelit dinners. While Paulson's sexuality may come as news to some, this isn't the first time the 12 Years A Slave star has been linked to an older lady in the tabloids. From 2004 - 2009, she dated fellow actress Cherry Jones, who was 48 years old at the time while Paulson was only 29. When Jones accepted a Tony award for Best Actress in 2005, she thanked 'Laura Wingfield', a character who Paulson was playing at the time in the Broadway revival of Glass Menagerie. In 2007, the couple declared their love for each other publicly in an interview with Velvetpark. Since then, however, Paulson has not been officially linked to any other one person. Despite rumours that she has dated actors such as Pedro Pascal, Michael Fassbender and even fellow American Horror Story star Jessica Lange, Paulson has remained tight-lipped on the subject, saying only that "the situation is fluid for me".

So it's officially December which means it's finally time to start working on our end of year lists! For our film list, I've included the top twenty highest grossing films of the year, but of course that means that there's a lot of lesser known films missing from the poll. So if your favourite movie from 2015 isn't on the list, feel free to vote for anything on the poll that takes your fancy and then post your real favourite down below in this topic! For me personally, I feel like I've seen a fair few movies this year but none have really impressed me that much - although with Star Wars and a bunch of other movies coming out later this month that still has time to change! In second place for me would be The Martian. I don't think I've ever seen a film work with so many characters so well and yet make them all relatable, likeable and important in terms of plot. It was really the polar opposite of something like Jurassic World, which worked with only four characters and yet for me was unable to make a single one of them likeable. But my all time favourite movie of the year was Inside Out! Not only was it wildly inventive, beautifully animated and gorgeously scored, but the plot itself had such a touching and honest message for both children and adults and I was honestly a bawling mess by the end of it. And not only did it have the overarching, obvious message of embracing your emotions and accepting sadness, but it also had a lot of subtle little messages about gender and mental illness I picked up on which really made it shine for me. What about you guys?

If you've ever had your wisdom teeth taken out before, you'll know how much effort goes into even the simple things while you're in recovery. Daily activities like sleeping, eating and talking become chores as you walk around with a constant throbbing in your bones and a pounding in your head. Spending half your day asleep and the other in a Panadol-infused stupor, it's easy to hide yourself away in the shadows of a darkened room, with only a tub of Ben and Jerry's and your dog for company. Today, I had two reasons to leave the solitude of my canine confines and venture out into the big wide world. The first was the introduction of the McDonalds Loaded French Fries in Australia, which are your typical chips but sprinkled with melted cheese and bacon crumbles. They were definitely worth it. The second was the release of Ginny Blackmore's long-awaited debut album, Over the Moon. Blackmore first hit our radar with the release of her first single 'Bones' way back in 2013, a song she co-wrote with a glass of wine during a "girly, emotional moment" one night in Los Angeles which later helped in getting her both seen and signed by the legendary L.A. Reid of Epic Records. Since then, the New Zealand born songstress has had a song recorded by Christina Aguilera, talked fantasy novels with Kanye West, and, as of today, passed her first real test on her way to pop superstardom; releasing her debut album to what so far has been an overwhelmingly positive response. On today, the day of her album launch, Ginny was kind enough to tear herself away from celebrations with family to chat with us about how she got started making music, where she's at now in her career and everything she has planned for the future. As for whether or not Ginny's words matched the magnificence of French Fries? Read on below and find out for yourself! Hi Ginny! Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to chat to you! Where are you writing to us from right now? I'm in Auckland, New Zealand! Home sweet home. It seems like this album has been such a long time coming - excuse the pun, but you must be "over the moon" that it's finally been released! How are you celebrating today? With mum and dad! We were watching MasterChef and drinking champagne and the advert for the album came on, and they screamed, and I ran out saying "What, what?!" And our faces were all: And so on and so forth. We heard our first taste of your music back in 2013, when you released your debut single 'Bones', which went on to smash the New Zealand charts and make waves internationally. Has Over the Moon changed shape since this initial release, or have you stuck to pretty much the same plan all along? 'Bones' is actually a great indicator of what's on the album. There are a couple of song on there that are even older! But 'Bones' only represented a wounded and emotional side. There are others on Over the Moon that display my joyful side! There's a few tracks on there which I know were originally written for other artists - specifically, 'SFM' which was recorded by Christina Aguilera for 2012's Lotus under the name 'Sing For Me', and 'Love Strikes' which was released by Katherine McPhee as a single earlier this year. What inspired you to release your own versions of these songs? Were they too hard to give up? You're exactly right - some songs are so close to me that I'd cry about not being able to sing them! Especially having written them about my own experience. But it's amazing to reach people I wouldn't have been able to had I not had those amazing artists release them. I believe that the song is more important than the voice...so I'm happy to share the songs around. When it comes to songwriting for others, do you find that your writing style changes at all based on your subject's personal situations? Or do you write for yourself first and foremost? Great question! If I'm asked to write for someone I try to imagine their voice and style as I do it. I'm so excited to channel these amazing artists I grew up with in anyway I can! But as a writer and as a girl who has strong convictions, I have at times had to be stubborn about what lyrics I am willing to write - no matter who it is that wants them. As well as Christina and Katherine, you've also worked with other big names like Adam Lambert on 'By The Rules'. What was it like working with such huge stars? Did they give you any insight into the business of making music in Hollywood? Also a great question...We are all learning together based on the little things we go through together. Whether it's a night out with Nicole Scherzinger trying to avoid the crazy paparazzi, or a night in the studio with Chris Brown listening to his new mixtape that he's so excited about, or going to Drake's house and finding out he's a gentleman, or having Christina sitting next to me singing my song into my ear, or talking to Adam about what's important to him over hotdogs on the 4th of July - we are all going through it together! I'm a little fish and they are big. I've mainly been a writer (which is epic), but I've spent time with these beautiful people and we are all learning from each other! Kanye once sat next to me and asked me all about New Zealand and The Lord of the Rings...so there you go! I've heard you're also great friends with Stan Walker, who you collaborated with on the album for another #1 single, 'Holding You'. How did you guys meet and what lead to your first song together? Stan is one of the greatest male vocalists in the world. I requested a duet with him because who wouldn't?! But also I had a song in mind. We met through friends and also properly through [the New Zealand version of] The X Factor. I was there performing 'Bones' and we had a legit deep encounter backstage that sparked the idea to record together. You also guest mentored for Stan on The X Factor, on a season which was plagued by controversy after Natalia Kills and Willy Moon's infamous blow-up during the first round of live shows. How did you react when you saw their actions on TV? Is there any possibility you might show up as a judge on the show in the future? I felt passionate about the episode where Natalia and Willy ripped him apart - and I posted that I would gladly take over the judges seat, and I would have - but I'm probably much too sweet for that job. I'm an encourager. I've read that the video for 'Holding You' was inspired by traditional Maori mythology. How important is your New Zealand heritage when it comes to your music and visuals? Very, but it depends on the song. I have lived away from New Zealand for so long and experienced the world. But make no mistake - New Zealand is the world to me. And yes, where I feel it appropriate I will express my love for my home. It inspires me daily. The album itself seems to have much more of an international sound, ranging from traditional pop (like 'Hello World') to smooth R&B jams (such as 'Put Ya Name On It', produced by the legendary producer Tricky Stewart) to ballads (like 'Love Strikes'). What inspired the sound for the album? I love pop, neo soul and R&B - to be honest, those are my favourite genres - and the album reflects that. I'm a 90s kid and I grew up prancing around to Michael and Destiny's Child and Usher and Erykah and Lauryn and D'angelo - but I love singing more than anything! So the album sounds like a million Ginny's singin' whatever the hell romantic idea she had goin' on at the time. The sound itself might be influenced by them. It must be such a relief for the world to finally be able to hear what you've been working on for the past few years! Now that you've accomplished what must have been such a huge goal, what are your plans for the future? Will you be touring for the album? Of course! My plan is to do it all. Some people discover who they are after a couple of albums and the right haircut; some after years of morphing in and out of being in a groups and being a solo singer and what not. Me? I didn't do shit until I was sure that I had something that I wanted to listen to more than I wanted to listen to Rihanna. And I finally do. So I know I've found 'me'. Let's go. Are there any last words you'd like to say to your fans? Dream big. Explore the world. Make a plan. Make decisions. Love yourself. And reach out to those that God gives you within reach. Try try try...And be creative! If you're trying to break into entertainment or art or music or food or architecture or graphic design or fashion or whatever, you better make sure you wake up dreaming bout that, work all day for it then fall asleep dreaming about it again - cause if you ain't then you are 99.999 steps behind the people who would die for it. Ginny, thank you so much for chatting with us today! We're all such huge fans of you and we're so proud that someone we've supported for so long is finally getting the recognition they deserve! Have an amazing day, and we hope to chat to you again when the second album's out! You're so welcome! Thank you for asking such beautiful questions. And as for how the interview compared to Loaded French Fries? If you ask me, it was well worth getting out of bed for. Our thanks to Ginny Blackmore, whose stellar debut album Over the Moon can be purchased on iTunes here. Check out her latest music video for the vibey 'Love Me Anyway' down below, and don't forget to let us know what you think in the comments section!

Lady Gaga Is Billboard's Woman of the Year!
Main Pop Girl commented on High Princess's article in News
YASSS, I'm so proud of her! A lot of people are saying Adele should have gotten the award, but lbr, she's only been in the public eye for the last month so she can't really be woman of the year. But Gaga has totally revitalised her entire career over the past twelve months and I really think she deserves all the recognition she's getting. On another note, I'm also super proud of my favourite new member @High Princess for writing this article so flawlessly. You did such a great job boo and I can't wait to read more of your articles!
