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.
Kirsten Dunst and Channing Tatum are teaming up for their highly anticipated new film Roofman, and the admiration between the two co-stars is mutual.
In a new interview with PEOPLE Magazine, Dunst opened up about her favorite performances by Tatum, returning the compliment after he recently gushed about her work.
“I’m just so proud of him, and Derek, and I really love this group so much,” Dunst said warmly of her Roofman collaborators.
When asked which of Tatum’s films she loved most, the actress replied, “I loved Foxcatcher and 21 Jump Street.”
“Those two are my faves,” she remarked before moving to a new topic.
Her comments came shortly after Tatum told the outlet at the Toronto International Film Festival that his favorite Dunst movie is 1994’s Interview with the Vampire, the film that launched her Hollywood career.
“Everything she’s ever done, I’ve been obsessed with,” Tatum admitted, confessing that joining forces with Dunst in Roofman, where their characters fall in love, made him “a bit nervous.”
Victoria Beckham is reportedly hopeful that she can finally mend fences with her eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham.
According to RadarOnline.com, the fashion designer has been quietly plotting to reconnect with Brooklyn, believing that “he must be sick of being controlled by Nicola [Peltz] and isolated from his family.”
“She’s convinced she’ll get more with honey than vinegar at this point,” an insider told the outlet, suggesting that Victoria plans to take a softer, more patient approach this time.
However, things remain complicated, as Brooklyn finds himself torn between his wife and his family.
“Brooklyn’s caught between a rock and a hard place,” the source shared. “He loves his mom and misses her terribly, as well as his dad and his siblings. But he’s scared to defy Nicola, who’s very clear that she expects him to hold firm and stand up for himself.”
While the Beckham family has tried to downplay rumours of tension, reports of strain between Victoria and Nicola have persisted since Brooklyn and Nicola tied the knot in 2022.
