Is that Kim Kardashian? Socialite takes inspiration from Nicki Minaj for Jam music video in black and red wig

By Daily Mail Reporter


New look: Kim Kardashian pulled on a scarlet red and jet black wig for her the video for her new single Jam


Her long glossy locks are almost as famous as her curvy figure.

And while Kim Kardashian may constantly change her wardrobe, she rarely changes her hair.

But the reality star completely transformed her look for her new Jam music video, seemingly taking inspiration from the unlikely source of rapper Nicki Minaj.

Pulling on a scarlet red and jet black wig, the 30-year-old mogul was almost unrecognisable if it wasn't for her trademark pouty lips.


Along with the synthetic strands she pressed on acrylic nails in similar colours.

She also poured her ample curves into a pink-laced corset making her bustier that ever.

The extreme look was finished off with stage make-up which achieved an almost doll-like effect.

Kim, as always, took to her blog to upload the photos from the video shoot and to express her excitement over the new look.

'This is one of the other fun looks I tried out for my music video. It's definitely a different look from anything I've tried before! How amazing are those nails!?' she wrote.

The pictures showed Kim being made-up for the shoot and posing and pouting with her make-up artist.

It also gave her fans a sneak peek of the new music video.

The excited star released her début single earlier this week on Ryan Seacrest's KISS FM breakfast show.

The poppy dance track, Jam (Turn It Up) was produced by hit record maker The Dream, who has worked with the likes of Rihanna, Beyonce and Kanye West.

'It's a fun dance song,' Kim told Ryan Seacrest, going on to describe the response it got in Las Vegas over New Year.

'We played it in Tao in Vegas and the whole crowd was singing along in the end.'
The singer revealed she was uneasy at first about trying something new.

'I think it's only normal for me to be nervous,' she told MTV of the chance to work alongside The Dream on a song.

'I'm human… this is definitely something that I don't do. I needed to step outside my comfort zone. This is a really big deal.'

'This was just a fun new experience.

'I am so glad I went for it. And the proceeds to Jam are being donated to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.'.

Reviews of the new song have already started streaming in and unfortunately for Kim they aren't so kind.

The New York Daily News especially gave the tune a particularly scathing evaluation.

'It's official: Atlanta Housewife Kim Zolciak is no longer the worst singer ever to slither out of a reality TV series and into a recording studio,' it said.

'It's a dead-brained piece of generic dance music, without a single distinguishing feature. As for Kim's singing, it's a bit of breathing that's been auto-tuned into something vaguely approximating a vocal.'

Meanwhile Kim has been enjoying some downtime.

Finished product: Kim also posted a sneak peek of her music video clip


Yesterday she treated herself to a pampering session as she headed to the Lancer Dermatology centre in Beverly Hills for some skin care.

Dressed in a long beige cardigan and some casual jeans, she looked ready for relaxation.

But for her day-off she still couldn't bare to be without a pair of platform stilettos.

She slipped on a cream and gold pair for the occasion.

I knew I'll be able to act easily, says Asha Bhosle at 77 - Bollywood News Gossips

Mumbai, March 3 (IANS) Singing legend Asha Bhosle is ready to don a new role. She is making her acting debut in a Hindi film at the age of 77.

Acting, she says, will not be a challenge because it runs in her family and singing too involves a certain degree of acting.

"When I heard about the role, I knew that I will be able to do it because acting is in my family. My father was a drama artist. Also, when we sing, it incorporates acting. If we don't put some acting in a dance song, no one would be able to dance on it," Asha, who has sung more than 12,000 songs in 18 languages, told IANS.

"We have to put expressions in a song when we sing it. So many times there are dialogues in songs too. So I realised if I can do that, I can act on the screen as well," she added.

The Padma Vibhushan awardee will essay the title role in the film "Maaee", which will show what happens when a woman is abandoned by her only son and how she finds shelter in her daughter and son-in-law's house.

Being co-produced by Subhash Dawar-Nitin Shankar and directed by debutant Mahesh Kodiyal, the family drama goes on the floors in April this year and will be shot entirely in Mumbai.

Talking about how the role fell into her lap, she said: "I was in Pune for a show. After the show we were in the hotel. Nitin works with us. He came and started narrating a story. I was generally listening without any other inclination.

"He told me that the name of the film is 'Maaee'. I felt really nice because even I used to call my mother by that name. So that really touched me. Then even my son joined our conversation and everyone told me that no one else can do this role except me."

"I was shocked and I told them to stop joking, but they said they were serious. So I asked for some time to think about it," said the singer known for trying all kinds of songs in her successful career.

Asha, who has lent her voice to evergreen renditions like "Dum maro dum" ("Hare Rama, Hare Krishna"), "Mehbooba mehbooba' ("Sholay"), "Mera kuch saaman" ("Ijaazat"), "Piya tu ab to aaja" ("Caravan") and "Chura liya hai tum ne" ("Yaadon Ki Baraat"), said yes to it because she wanted to try something new in her life.

"I discussed it with my son. He said, 'You have always tried so many different things, sung all types of songs, done shows around the world, even sung English songs. You have tried so many new things in your career and you always have the hunger to do more and more new things; so why not this?' "

"I realized he is right. I have tried so many new things, but acting on the big screen remains; so why not try that? Then I said yes," Asha explained to IANS about her decision.

However, the veteran says that acting is not going to be a regular affair and that the film is only a one-off project.

"I won't do any other film after this. I just wanted to try something new. So I'm doing this. Otherwise, I don't want to become a full time actress. I'm happy being a singer," she said.

Asha will also sing a song for the film that co-stars actress Padmini Kolhapure as her daughter.

"Padmini is a wonderful actress. She left work after marriage; otherwise she would have still been a top actress. She now does very selective roles and when I asked her, she said 'I will do it'," said the legend.

Christina Aguilera fluffs the lines to the National Anthem at the Super Bowl - by singing botched lyrics found on Wikipedia

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Slip up: Christina Aguilera performed The Star-Spangled Banner to open the Super Bowl in Texas, but messed up the lyrics


Christina has apologised to fans

Packers win the Super Bowl 31-25

White House reveals its Super Bowl menu


Christina Aguilera made an astonishing gaffe by botching the lyrics to the American National Anthem as she kicked off the Super Bowl on Sunday night.

The 30-year-old singer performed a throaty rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner to open the NFL championship - but sang incorrect lyrics that matched an error from Wikipedia.

What she should have sung in the middle of the song was: 'Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming.'


Whoops! Christina previously performed during the half-time show at the 2000 Super Bowl


But what she sang instead, as over 100 million people watched, was 'Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last gleaming.'

That error matches one that used to exist on the Wikipedia entry for the Star Spangled Banner Lyrics.

Wikipedia is a user-generated online encyclopaedia that depends on the community for accuracy.


A change made to the Wikipedia entry for The Star Spangled Banner may explain why Christina Aguilera flubbed the lyrics. The mistake on the website, as seen hours before the Super Bowl and since fixed by a user, matches the mistake she sang


Apology: The singer later said: 'I got so lost in the moment of the song that I lost my place'
The star later apologised for her slip-up, telling CNN: 'I got so lost in the moment of the song that I lost my place.'


She continued: 'I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country & the true spirit of it's anthem still came through.'

Viewers at home were quick to take to Twitter to point out Aguilera's slip-up.

'Christina Aguilera just killed the National Anthem bet by singing the wrong words,' tweeted @darrenrovell within seconds of the mistake.

'I'm pretty sure Christina Aguilera just messed up the lyrics to the Star-Spangled Banner,' jo__baby‎ commented.

And justinjboone‎ posted the message: 'That was officially the saddest moment of Christina Aguilera's career.'

During the performance military jets flew overhead to huge cheers from the crowd assembled at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Christina previously performed during the half-time show at the 2000 Super Bowl.

Earlier Glee star Lea Michele warmed up the crowd with a rendition of America The Beautiful, paving the way for five-time Grammy award-winning Aguilera.

Other stars who have sung the national anthem at the Super Bowl include Carrie Underwood, Billy Joel, Diana Ross, Neil Diamond, Mariah Carey and Beyonce Knowles.

Meanwhile, the fans had a a ball at the Super Bowl, where the Packers beat the Steelers, dressing up in all sorts of wacky outfits as they forgot the snow and freezing fog to have a super time.

They poured into Dallas to watch the biggest sporting event in the American calendar - as welcome sun melted much of the ice and celebrities turned Dallas into party central.

The favoured Packers managed to overcame key injuries, beating the Steelers 31-25. They were only the second number six seed to win the championship. Coincidentally, the 2005 Steelers were the other.

The showbiz A-list was in town were led by Hollywood stars Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler, Owen Wilson, Aston Kutcher and wife Demi Moore, singer Nicole Scherzinger and Pamela Anderson.


Party of the year: Calista Flockhart, husband Harrison Ford, and John Travolta joined the A-list at the game


But it was the fans who appeared to have best fun as they soaked up the atmosphere.

The game is took place at the high-tech, $1.2billion Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, where workers and the fire service were attempting to remove every last piece of snow from the domed roof yesterday.

Organisers are taking no chances after sheet ice fell from the stadium's 91-metre high roof on Friday, hospitalising seven people.


Howdy: Steve Huntington, of Two Rivers, Wisconsin, and Kevin Fitzpatrick of Banders, Texas, get in the swing of things outside Cowboys stadium


Mask of victory: William Huffman of Dixon, Illinois and cheesy head-turning lady Ali Gentry from Phoenix


Photographer Win McNamee's shoulder was broken in four places by the falling ice. He told the Dallas Morning News: 'Honestly, while it was hitting me, I was thinking I'm going to die here. It was pretty frightening.

'I covered a war, I covered the stuff in Haiti last year. You always figure if something is going to happen it would be in one of those places - not at a football game.'

Is this the most ill-advised pop comeback ever? B*Witched twins look like cheap Lady Gagas for attempted chart return

By Georgina Littlejohn


Scroll down for the video...


They're back: Edele and Keavey have reunited and are now called Barbarella


They were the sweet and sickly girl group that topped the UK charts several times in the late 90s but then disappeared without trace a few years later.

But nine years after they split, B*Witched have pulled themselves out of the 'where are they now' file and are back with a new look, a new name - and two less members.

However, their attempt to reign the pop charts once again could be set to fail before it has even started, if today's TV appearance was anything to go by.


Twins Keavy and Edele Lynch appeared on Lorraine Kelly's show this morning reformed - without former members Lindsey Armaou and Sinead O'Carroll - as a two-piece called Barbarella.

And keeping the sci-fi theme, the 32-year-olds were dressed in white bodysuits, silver cropped jackets and cropped bobbed wigs.

But as one observer put it, they looked more like 'Primark Lady Gaga' then possibly the cool and cutting edge look they were probably striving for.


Desperate? Or determined? The former B*Witched twins are back as duo Barbarella and appeared - in space age Gaga attire - in Lorraine Kelly's show to promote their debut single


The twins, who are the younger sisters of Boyzone and Coronation Street star Shane, are set to release their debut single Body Rock on Monday.

They performed the single on the show for Fiona Phillips, who was sitting in for Lorraine, with three half naked male dancers.


Sisterly strut: Keavy and Edele perform their new single in the studio - complete with semi-naked male dancers


Space age: The girls tried to emulate Lady Gaga in their bodysuits and cropped bobbed wigs


But long-gone was the saccharine fresh-faced 23-year-old chart-toppers of the late 90s that sold-out concerts and also became a success across the Pond in the United States.

Instead, the two girls just looked sad and desperate, their performance looking far too amateur from a duo who have had years of experience in the industry.


We're back! The girls make their presence known in their music video


Before they sang, they spoke to Phillips about their time away from the charts and said they were shocked when they were dropped without warning by their record label in 2002.

But while Edele threw herself into her work, writing songs for Girls Aloud and Sugababes, it hit Keavy hard and she sunk into depression.

But having bounced back after seeking much-needed help, she said it didn't put her off returning to the charts.


Not so sweet anymore: The girls ditch the denim for skin-tight suits


Keavy said: 'So many people ask us why we're doing it again and we've always loved music, we've been writing songs since we were teenagers, it's about the love of music for us.'

And they said their older brother has been very supportive of their comeback - even if his manager, X Factor judge Louis Walsh isn't.

Edele said: 'Louis doesn't like to promote bands that aren't his own. So when our names come up naturally in conversation about Wonderland, an Irish girl band, he goes, "oh please!".

'But maybe he's not trying to shake off the B*Witched image - that's our job!'
