Did You Hear? :: Future Oscar winner Selena Gomez would go topless for the right role.

Sat in a Zizzi about a year ago, planning a trip to see my mother-in-law in Wichita Falls, Texas, I was poking at the iPhone wailing how there's nothing to do in such a town, when, suddenly, amongst a never-ending scroll of dates of cattle shows, there popped up a Morrissey gig. It was like discovering an announcement of Leonard Bernstein playing Goole, or Wagner in Worthing. The gig never happened, but it does form the heart of a great post on One Week One Band about life, death, Morrissey and Latinos: [...]

There are no words, really. Are there? The headline says it all. The subtext? I, Amanda Palmer, am trolling the fuck out of you, Stereogum. But let's put aside our own narcissism for a moment! Because in that department, we are mere mortals in the blinding light of a great and terrible sun god. Yes, Amanda Palmer is offering to Morrissey (unsolicited) advice on crowdsourcing to fund a new album. Publicly, of course - in the form of an open letter published on Salon, because that's got to be the easiest way for two musicians to communicate (and [...]

The recent death of the former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher caused complicated feelings in a lot of Brits. Thatcher may have been a transformative public figure in her time, but in her arch-conservative policies, her embrace of militarism and privatization, she's been widely reviled in much of the UK for decades. But Stephen Patrick Morrissey is one Brit whose feelings are decidedly uncomplicated. In a recent statement about Thatcher, Morrissey got bitchily erudite in the way that only he can, proving that he hates Thatcher in death just as much as he hated her in life. And [...]

Having already offered his two cents on Margaret Thatcher's legacy following her passing last week, Morrissey has decided it's an apt time to release a statement regarding all the events that have developed over the week following her death. In a new open letter posted to fansite True To You , the former Smiths frontman discusses the seemingly sentimental coverage of Thatcher's governing from mainstream media (picking out BBC News, The Daily Mail and Guardian specifically), the costs of her funeral taking place [...]

El pasado 8 de abril, la ex primer ministro británica Margaret Thatcher falleció a los 87 años de edad. Tras ella, dejó un reguero de sentimientos encontrados. Por un lado, estuvieron aquellos que celebraron su vida y obra, mientras que otros, celebraron su muerte. Estas reacciones también se vieron del lado del mundo de la música: la ex chica Spice Geri Halliwell tomó su cuenta de Twitter para declarar: “Pensando en nuestra primera Lady of Power , Margaret Thatcher, la hija de un verdulero que me enseñó que todo es posible”. Por otro [...]

It's just a coincidence... it's just a coincidence... it's just a coincidence... But the current front page of the BBC One website does make it look like Morrissey is trying to restrain himself from pouring tea over the former Prime Minister. -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch

It's about a singer named Rodriguez who was virtually unknown in his home country of the U.S., but was incredibly popular in South Africa and it's only now thanks to the movie's success that North Americans are doubling back and figuring [...]

Morrissey made it clear this week that he was - and is still - not the biggest fan of the late Margaret Thatcher. Whether you agree with the political leanings of the outspoken singer or not, we couldn't care less. But what better excuse is there to reminisce on The Smiths and the rest of their heart-on-sleeve, new wave compatriots? And what better way is there to do that than with Hints ? Hailing from the indie mecca of Brooklyn, Hints sounds like the Smiths' well-produced grandson. That's not to take away from the band; while [...]

Morrissey has offered a Thatcher obituary for The Daily Beast . Given that Thatcher was probably the only person who could dig heels in more firmly than Mozzer, you won't be surprised to hear that Moz isn't exactly holding back the tears: Thatcher will only be fondly remembered by sentimentalists who did not suffer under her leadership, but the majority of British working people have forgotten her already, and the people of Argentina will be celebrating her death. As a matter of recorded fact, Thatcher was a terror without an atom of humanity. After yesterday, [...]

Filed under: News Mike Pont, Getty Images With the news that former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher died, many rock fans waited to hear what two of her biggest critics , Morrissey and Billy Bragg , would have to say. And within a few hours, they got their answers, with each man speaking of the late politician in their own way. Morrissey, as we'd expect, wasted no ounce of vitriol in a [...]

Morrissey was never a vocal admirer of the former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, as a song like Viva Hate 's " Margaret On The Guillotine " might attest. And now, in true Morrissey fashion, he's commented on Thatcher's recent death by releasing a statement that, in one of its kinder moments, refers to Thatcher as "barbaric." The whole thing should go down in the annals of post-death etherings, and you can read it in full below. Read More...

There are some bad people on the right and left. "Interesting Drug" can be found many places, least of which here .

El ex líder de The Smiths no para un segundo -de hecho pueden escuchar una nueva canción que presentó en lo de Letterman- y si bien atravesó por algunas complicaciones de salud en los últimos tiempos, esta vez se reveló que lanzarán un nuevo DVD de Morrissey . El informe viene desde Morrissey-solo, que dicen tener información que viene desde un representante del artista, aunque no fue confirmado directamente por ellos. Según se comenta el DVD será del show que dio Mozz el 2 de marzo en la Hollywood High School [...]

These days, Morrissey tends not to play shows, but he's great at announcing them. He's issued a statement alerting fans in South America to look forward to a series of cancellations due to ill health this summer: Morrissey is scheduled to play shows in seven cities in Mexico in June, rounding-off at the National Auditorium in Mexico City. Morrissey will also appear on two national television shows. The dates in Mexico will be followed by concerts in Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Chile. Details will be announced shortly. Recently, Morrissey was advised to take a break from [...]

Según una web centrada en la actualidad de Morrissey , el excantante de los Smiths anunciaría una gira por Latinoamérica próximamente. Las actuaciones serían entre junio y julio y habría paradas por Argentina, Chile, Brasil, Perú y México . En este último país, el artista visitaría un total de siete ciudades durante junio, incluyendo un show en el Auditorio Nacional del DF. Teniendo en cuenta que Morrissey ha tenido que cancelar por problemas de salud sus recientes compromisos en directo por Estados Unidos -y también su aparición [...]

With his increasingly worrying ill-health, Morrissey says he's been told by doctors to quit music. The former Smiths frontman told Mexico's  Reactor 105.7  that he's been "cautioned to [retire]" from performing, after the effects it's had on his well-being. He continued: "But it’s difficult for me because it’s very ingrained in me. I had a very bad time. I had internal bleeding and I was rushed into hospital and I had lost a lot of blood. They tried to patch me together [...]

Morrissey ha annunciato la cancellazione del resto del suo tour . Ben 22 tappe nel Nord America sono state annullate per problemi di salute. E non si parla di laringite, come nel caso di Rihanna, ma di qualcosa di più serio: polmonite, un 'ulcera sanguinante e il disturbo dell'esofago di Barrett. Ecco le parole dell'agente Lauren Papapietro: "Nonostante i suoi migliori sforzi per cercare di continuare il tour, Morrissey deve prendere una pausa e non sarà in grado di continuare il resto del tour. Morrissey ringrazia tutti i suoi fans per i loro auguri e [...]
