Ava Max breaks silence on Lady Gaga comparisons
Ava Max just talked about being compared to Lady Gaga in her new album.
In a snippet of her song that was leaked online, belonging to her upcoming album, Don’t Click Play, the 31-year-old pop singer seems to reference the 14-time Grammy winner and how the two have been compared.
Referring to her famous track Kings and Queens and Gaga’s hit, Poker Face, Max sings in the leaked clip: “She samples, singing Gaga imitations/Can’t kings and queens look good with poker faces? But I’m loving myself even if you hate it.”
Don’t Click Play would include many of her already released songs including Lovin Myself, Lost Your Faith and Wet Hot American Summer.
How Can I Dance, Take My Call, Skin in the Game, and World’s Smallest Violin are also featured on the new record.
Speaking of her comparison to the Born This Way singer, Max told NYLON: “No matter how many haters there are out there, or people who want to bring you down — or people who think I’m a Lady Gaga comparison, which is huuuh-larious.”
“Who doesn’t love Gaga?! I can’t help that I look like this. I was born the way I was born too! I can’t help that I’m 5-foot-2 as well,” the Sweet but Psycho crooner added.
“Like what do they want me to do, dye my hair black?! I did that, and then they started comparing me to Dua [Lipa]! You can’t win,” she further mentioned.
Additionally, Max spoke to PEOPLE magazine about the inspiration behind her upcoming album, Don’t Click Play, which would mark her first musical project since 2023’s Diamonds & Dancefloors.
“I become a hermit, to be honest, when I’m making music,” she explained. “I try not to let too many things influence me because I want it to come from my heart, and I want it to come from the inside of my brain where it’s just, ‘Who am I at the end of the day?’ I don’t want to get too influenced.”
“The thing is, I’m going back to my roots on this album. I feel like there’s a lot of Kings & Queens feeling songs on the album. It’s almost like going back to how I started and my love for pop music, really,” Ava Max concluded.
Denise Richards was reportedly snubbed by ex-friend Heather Locklear as she tried to make peace amid explosive divorce drama with husband Aaron Phypers.
For the unversed, the 54-year-old American actress has been trying to make peace with her former friend Heather Locklear while her divorce fight with estranged husband Phypers got worse.
According to Radar Online, Locklear is still upset that Richards “hooked up” with her ex Richie Sambora years ago.
“Denise has been trying to get in touch, but she’s not getting anywhere, because Locklear has a long memory,” a source said.
Notably, after the end of the Wild Things star’s first marriage with Charlie Sheen, she had a “hot-and-heavy romance” with Locklear’s estranged husband, Sambora, a musician, songwriter and singer by profession. It began soon after the Dynasty star filed for divorce in 2206.
“Heather had separated from Richie, and she and Denise were hanging out and hitting up nightclubs to let off some steam, but then Denise backstabbed her by taking up with Richie. Heather felt betrayed,” the insider said.
Richards is now going through a bitter divorce from Phypers after accusing him of “years of abuse,” leaking her most private pictures, and stealing her laptop. He still demands her spousal support because of his unemployment.
However, Locklear “is not trying to get pleasure from Denise’s misery right now, but there is a part of her that says this is a classic case of karma biting Denise in the butt,” per the source.
“In Heather’s view, Denise is reaping what she sows in terms of how she’s treated people. Heather won’t be holding any pity parties for Denise anytime soon,” the source claimed.

Stars of “My Life with the Walter Boys” talk season 2 expectations and relating to characters
Gremlins is a well-known black horror comedy franchise that has released two installments, but for the third, there is much anticipation among fans about when it will come.
Now, Chris Columbus, the screenwriter of the original movie, has shared an update on the threequel, as the last film was released in 1990.
“There’s a bunch of scripts for Gremlins,” he teased in an interview with GamesRadar+. “I mean, nothing has been approved. We’re working on something, but we’re always [working on something]. Gremlins is a never-ending writing assignment.”
Besides the update, Chris also weighed in on his initial stance against the making of sequels.
“Back in the early 80s, when we had finished Gremlins, there was the opportunity to do Gremlins 2, but I was of a mind that once I’ve said it, I’ve said it, there’s no reason to do a sequel,” he recalled.
This mindset, he said, led him to consider making other movies instead of Gremlins 2.
“So Steven and I could have worked on Gremlins 2, but I said, ‘No, I’ve done that. I’m going to move on.’ And I moved on to Goonies and Young Sherlock Holmes. So we still worked together,” the director noted.
However, since then, Chris’s views on the sequels definitely evolved as he had made Home Alone two and the first two films in the Harry Potter franchise.
Meanwhile, his latest-directed film, The Thursday Murder Club, is streaming on Netflix.
