Beyonce's Malaysian Concert Cancelled  

Beyoncé's planned concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, has been canned amid protests by local Muslim groups, Billboard reports.

The groups are reportedly upset that the singer has refused to obey the country's strict dress code for performers, although the November 1 concert's promoter, Pineapple Concert, did not give a reason for the cancellation in a statement issued Friday (September 28). Female performers are not allowed to show skin from the tops of their chests to their knees.

In August, Gwen Stefani's concert in the country was also preceded by protests for the same reason — but she reluctantly abided by the guidelines, saying in a press conference before the show that she had made a "major sacrifice."

Rihanna Defends Britney's MTV Performance  

R+B star Rihanna has urged the media to stop criticising Britney Spears ' MTV Video Music Awards performance.

The Umbrella star believes Spears' disastrous stageshow at the Las Vegas ceremony earlier this month was the result of her not having performed much recently coupled with the stress of her ongoing child custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Rihanna says, "You can't judge her performance without knowing what was going on with her personally. She had so much pressure for that one performance.

"I'm telling you, it's not easy being on that stage. I performed for a minute and a half, and I was extremely nervous.

"To have the amount of pressure that Britney had? I don't know what I would've done. She did her best, so leave her alone." [source]

Britney Spears New Songs  


That's right boys and girls, Britney's back with not one but TWO hot tracks from her yet untitled but much anticipated comeback album.

The first song is titled "Gimme More" which is exactly what you'd expect from Britney, Pop all the way. You'll be hearing this song all over the clubs.

The second song is called "Cold As Fire" and that one's a bit unexpected. It's not quite what we're used to hear from Brit but the song grows on you, it's really catchy.

The singer's yet-untitled new album will drop November 13. Ne-Yo, who wrote many potential tracks for Britney, told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show Wednesday that "[Britney has] gotta remind people why they love her in the first place. She's gotta get their minds off her personal life and back on music."
