Music News with Bebe Rexha and Harry Styles
BEBE REXHA HITS BACK AT BODY SHAMERS WITH A MESSAGE ON ‘KELLY CLARKSON SHOW’: Bebe Rexha made an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show Monday and hit back at body shamers. During her appearance, Bebe talked about her viral tweet about her dress size after saying designers wouldn’t dress her for the Grammy Awards, and how she feels about expectations about size in general. “I say it every day for my show. The shows are always like young girls, young guys, mothers and daughters…every night at my show, I say ‘I don’t care what anybody has told you. A number doesn’t define you.’ I think it’s really important for my fans to know I’m not trying to be that,” she said.

SHARON OSBOURNE SLAMS JOHN LEGEND FOR CHANGING LYRICS TO ‘BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE’: John Legend has changed the lyrics to the Christmas classic “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” for an updated version he recorded with Kelly Clarkson and Sharon Osbourne is not a fan, slamming John’s decision to update the words as “ridiculous.” The lyrics to “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” are considered to be controversial as they seem to reference date rape. The lyrics include the lines, “I ought to say no, no, no, sir / “Mind if I move in closer?” and “Say, what’s in this drink? / No cabs to be had out there.” Sharon spoke about the updated version on “The Talk.” “To change an innocent lyric, to what is it, ‘Your mind and your body?’ What the hell are you on? That’s ridiculous,” she said. “I have to tell you, I love John Legend. I love John Legend’s wife, his family. He’s an amazing artist that I really respect. Why do you do this? That’s not right.”
