Justin Bieber’s Rider Is Surprisingly Boring For Such A Diva

July 1st, 2013 By Rhiannon Davies

This week on ‘Ridiculous Things Justin Bieber Does’, we bring you his rider from a photo shoot in June.?

It’s a disappointment as far as random extravagant requests go – he doesn’t demand a basket of puppies or a crystal Baccarat bowl full of green M&M’s before he’ll grace the set with his presence. He doesn’t even demand a humidifier or that the water is a certain temperature, which is pretty much Diva Behaviour 101.

Not to worry, Biebs hasn’t completely forgotten that he’s one of the biggest stars on the planet right now.

MIA Goes A Bit Mental About The Internet

June 1st, 2010 By Matthew Laidlow

MIA has the ability to make us listen to her music without high-profile publicity and glossy product placements.

That said, she still raises the bar when it comes to releasing albums. Whilst most promotional videos are now just full of gimpy-looking blokes shuffling around in oversized clothes and badly miming along to the music, MIA decided to make it a bit more artistic.

Lady Gaga started to bring back the trend for well-produced videos with her overdrawn Telephone promo and MIA followed. If you like a slightly confusing message of what a violent society we live in, then Born Free is the video for you. Despite using the internet to premiere it, MIA still seems a little paranoid about the likes of Google and Facebook. She's not sick of being invited to Farmville, but more so about a subdivision of the American government nicking our data. The tits.

MIA Born Free Video: The 10 Most Adorable Moments

April 28th, 2010 By Stuart Heritage

Now that Lady Gaga has made the pointlessly long music video fashionable again, everybody wants to have a go.

Like MIA. She’s got a new song out, called Born Free. And to mark this important occasion, she’s made a video. A nine-minute video. That she doesn’t even appear in once. But that’s OK – the song’s called Born Free – which we assume is a cover of the Matt Monro standard – so we’re sure that the Born Free music video is a warm-hearted tribute to the 1966 Oscar-winning story of Elsa the lioness and her heart-wrenching journey from captivity to the wilds of Kenya.

In fact, so certain are we of this that – before we’ve even seen it – we’re going to go through the MIA Born Free video after the jump and select the cutest, most warm-hearted moments just for you…

M.I.A Has A Baby, Which Is Apparently News

March 24th, 2009 By Stuart Heritage

You know how M.I.A has been heavily pregnant for the last few months? You’ll never guess what’s happened.

M.I.A’s only gone and had a baby. We know! Who knew that babies came out at the end of pregnancies? Not us, that’s for sure – we were convinced that women either gave birth to unicorns or life-sized marble statues of Italo-American physicist Ugo Fano but, no, apparently it’s babies.

What’s more, M.I.A has blogged about her baby and – get this – it appears as if she actually quite likes him! Wow, that M.I.A, huh? No wonder she’s so blinking controversial. Whatever next!
