Cher says she hasn't done a virtual concert yet for this strange reason

Neil Mockford/GC ImagesWe're a year into the COVID-19 pandemic and with the continued absence of live music, it seems like every artist under the sun has done some kind of virtual concert. One holdout has been Cher, who says she's now considering it -- but there's one issue she has to overcome.
"Was thinking of doing virtual Concert," she tweeted on Monday. "Some Of My favorites that were Never Hits & Some that were….only Problem…BEEN SINGING 50+ YRS TOO MANY SONGS."
Fans were quick to try and solve the legendary diva's problem. One suggested doing one concert every day for a month, while another said a three-hour blowout would be appropriate.
One fan suggested that Cher do what David Bowie did in 1990: Have fans call in and request their favorite song, with the money from the calls going to charity. That led to a Brazilian fan site creating an online form where fans could vote for the top three songs they want Cher to perform.
Another fan cleverly suggested that Cher simply perform her album Living Proof in its entirety, because this November, it'll be marking its 20th anniversary. That album featured the hit "Song for the Lonely."
While fans were going back and forth, Cher added, "Working On New Songs. Started One & Think it Will Be Good."
Cher's most recent album was 2018's collection of ABBA covers, Dancing Queen, which debuted at number three. She's been talking about releasing a second volume for a while now.

"These songs and artists reflect the relentless spirit and rich diversity of America. They are the score to a new chapter and will help bring people together as the Biden-Harris Administration begins its important work to unite our country."

More Dua Lipa in the 'Future'? She promises "B-sides are on the way"

Getty Images for dcpOne of 2020's bright spots was the release of Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia album. Now it looks like she'll have more music for us in 2021.
On Sunday, the Grammy-winner tweeted, "B-sides are on the way...."
According to the U.K.'s Official Charts Company, Dua had previously told fans that she wanted to release an album of B-sides -- songs that were recorded for Future Nostalgia but that didn't make the final cut.
As far as what will be on the album, Official Charts Company reports that Dua apparently worked with legendary producer and Chic frontman Nile Rodgers on some tracks for the record, but initially rejected them because she wanted stuff that sounded "more current." Perhaps we'll now get to hear those songs.
Last year, Dua also released Club Future Nostalgia, an album of remixes of songs from the album featuring guests like Madonna and Gwen Stefani.

Lady Gaga 'Chromatica' OREOS are now available to pre-order

Streamline/InterscopeLast year, Lady Gaga announced that she was teaming up with OREOS to release special cookies inspired by her latest album, Chromatica. Well, the sweet treats are now available to pre-order.
The limited-edition OREOS -- which have pink outsides, green creme filling and Gaga-related images embossed on them -- can be ordered at Walmart.com now. They cost $3.67 per pack but if you want them delivered to your house you'll pay an extra $5.99 to get them by February 5. Then again, if you don't pre-order them, your local store may be sold out when the cookies finally hit shelves.
In addition to the cookies themselves, each package has QR code that you can scan to "unlock musical messages of kindness to send to your friends," according to the website. There's also a way for you to enter to win a (possibly virtual) meet and greet with Gaga.
Meanwhile, you can watch Gaga herself in action on Wednesday, when she sings the national anthem at the presidential inauguration.

"Dreams" skateboard guy tapped for Joe Biden's virtual inauguration parade

Courtesy of Ocean Spray
Now here he goes again: Nathan Apodaca has just landed a very presidential gig, thanks to his fame as the "Dreams" TikTok skateboard guy.
Nathan's video of himself chugging Ocean Spray juice and cruising on his skateboard while lip-syncing to the Fleetwood Mac classic sent "Dreams" and its parent album, Rumours, back up the Billboard chart last year. It also spawned thousands of copycat clips, including three by current and former members of Fleetwood Mac. Now, according to the Hollywood Reporter, Apodaca will be part of President-elect Joe Biden's virtual inauguration parade this week.
The parade will be hosted by Tony Goldwyn and will feature various celebrities, marching bands, dance troupes, honor guards, and the reunion of the alt-rock band New Radicals, best known for their song "Get What You Give."
According to TMZ, Nathan was invited to participate in the January 20 event because his TikTok helped to uplift people during the misery of 2020. The idea was for him to incorporate skateboarding into the parade, and TMZ says he's already filmed something from his home in Idaho.
After his "Dreams" video went viral, Nathan was gifted a new truck by Ocean Spray, launched a merch line, was able to buy a house, and got engaged to his girlfriend.

Sia says when Katy Perry bailed on her movie, she offered the part to Beyoncé

Vertical EntertainmentIf things had gone a little differently, the cast of Sia's upcoming movie, Music, might have included Katy Perry...or even Beyoncé.
Speaking to Australia's NOVA FM, Sia said that the screenplay for the film called for a "pop star," so she asked her friend Katy Perry to play the role. But then a week before the scene was set to be filmed, Katy bailed out, saying she had too many other things going on.
"So I quickly sent [the script] off to Beyoncé," Sia continued. "They got it, but I didn't get a response, and it was only two days before the shoot of that scene. "So I was like, 'I need a pop star! Ohmigod, I need a pop star! Wait: I'm a pop star!"
Which is why Sia ended up appearing in the movie, which she also directed and co-wrote. According to one review, she plays a version of herself who's buying pills from Zu, Kate Hudson's character.
So far, the overall reviews of the film -- which in addition to Hudson also stars Leslie Odom Jr., Héctor Elizondo and Maddie Ziegler -- have been less than enthusiastic, but you can judge for yourself when it's released in the U.S. next month.
