Will.i.am teamed up with Nicole Sherzinger for his new single, “Smile Mona Lisa,” which was recorded, in part, in the Louvre, next to the actual painting. He said
“That song touches me because I recorded a large portion of that song inside the Louvre, next to Mona Lisa’s picture.”
“They let me go to the Louvre at 2am to record the guitars for that song, I wanted to capture the ambience of the Louvre, that Mona Lisa lives in. That was exciting, to walk through the Louvre at 2am with the manager.”
Give it a listen, if you are of age:
Nicole Sherzinger’s new single “Boomerang” reached #2 on the British Pop charts, despite a radio snub. The Daily Mirror (UK) took advantage of the chart position to run a short gallery of literally and figuratively hot photos of Sherzinger. Go look and drool, guys.
Don’t click on this link if you feel that such photos of Nicole Sherzinger in very tight, very short hot pants, performing at the Russell Brand Comic Relief show in England, are sleazy, sell-out photo ops. The British press, of course, is all over it. Music fans in Louisville are above all that, right?
>Nicole Sherzinger (along with Justin Bieber) appeared on Britain’s “Let’s Dance For Comic Relief,” performing her latest single, “Boomerang,” which has been getting hammered in the British media. However, her performance was, for the Brits, satisfyingly hot. Then she went out for dinner in a sexy leather outfit with a sheer top. Photos here.
Just to be fair and even-handed, here’s Bieber’s performance:
Never let it be said that beauty won’t take you very far – Nicole Sherzinger has ridden her looks a very long way, while working to build a career in pop music. Stories and photos (lots of photos) of her show up routinely in the British and American celebrity media and her the tale of adventures and misadventures with the “Idol” series has been a long and winding one. She is currently getting ready for another crack at the American pop market with a new single, “Boomerang,” which has not been met with uniform praise in the UK. As part of the publicity campaign, she is featured, along with the band Hurts, in the current issue of the bimonthly Notion Magazine, which touts its coverage area as music, fashion and culture. Its Facebook page is here. The publication does not yet have a site to read the magazine but a site called Myfabulousstyle.com has several photos from the story and a bit about the content.
The sum of Nicole Sherzinger’s confessions over the last few weeks are all wrapped up in a post on UK’s Mirror site: she claims she was offered a spot in the Black-Eyed Peas before Fergie; she turned down Rihanna’s hit “We Found Love” and she was inclined to Goth before her current current.
