Grimes Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

Last week, Grimes gave creatives the go-ahead to use AI-generated versions of her voice in their art, offering a 50% royalty split and musing on the possibility of "open sourcing all art and killing copyright." On April 30, she shared a beta version of the GrimesAI-1 Voiceprint. Users who upload their vocal files to the site will receive output audio generated in the style of Grimes' voice. “If you are signed to a label or wish to distribute it yrself," Grimes wrote on Twitter, "plz email us at [email protected]." She requested that the songs using her voice be "tasteful" — last week, Grimes said "rly rly toxic lyrics w grimes voice" such as "baby murder" songs or "Nazi anthems" will face takedown notices.

Grimes has criticised music copyright law, suggesting it impedes creativity.The artist was speaking at the annual International Music Summit (IMS) in Ibiza on April 28, where she delivered the keynote speech moderated by BBC Radio 1 Dance DJ Jaguar. In her speech, she went into topics surrounding artificial intelligence, music rights management and technology.“I feel strongly that there’s way too much gatekeeping in music,” said Grimes. “Copyright sucks.

As the great AI music debate rages on, Grimes has thrown her take into the arena of public discourse. Unsurprisingly (given the tech-bro persona she’s adopted over the past few years), she’s come down on the side of AI.

Grimes has weighed in on the ongoing artificial intelligence debate, and permitted fans to use her voice to create new music using AI.The 35-year-old singer took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the process of using AI platforms to create new music, and insisted that she is fully open to it because “it’s cool to be fused [with] a machine”.She also told fans that she is more than happy for them to sample her voice using artificial intelligence as a means of making music. She does, however, expect them to give her half of any royalties made from the tracks.“I’ll split 50% royalties on any successful AI generated song that uses my voice.

Grimes has shared an update on her forthcoming project, ‘Book 1’, and whether new music will be coming soon.The Canadian musician, real name Claire Boucher, took to twitter in February and revealed that she was writing music for the first time in a while, adding that she “forgot” how fun it was.Earlier in the year, she provided an update about her upcoming album, ‘Book 1’, but referred to the project as a “side quest” indicating that music was not a top priority for her.Last week, in response to someone on Twitter writing “pls remember that u are also a singer,” Boucher wrote: “I was never a singer. I was just good enough at engineering to make it sound like I was.“The ideas always came first, and grimes has always been most loved when I focussed on innovating.

Grimes is set to present a closing keynote speech on artificial intelligence at the International Music Summit (IMS) in Ibiza later this month.The Canadian musician, real name Claire Boucher, will be closing the three-day conference with a presentation sharing her insights into music tech, AI and the metaverse. The 14th edition of the summit will begin on April 26 and end on April 28, and will be co-hosted by Pete Tong and Jaguar.“Grimes is one of the most important, impactful and creative artists of our times,” shared IMS Ibiza co-founder Ben Turner.

Grimes has revealed that she’s renamed her daughter, changing the name from Exa Dark Sideræl to a single letter.The Canadian artist – real name Claire Boucher – shares two children with Twitter CEO and Tesla boss Elon Musk – son X Æ A-Xii, born in May 2020, and daughter Exa Dark Sideræl Musk who arrived December 2021 via surrogate.News of the pair’s second child was accidentally revealed last year during a cover interview with Vanity Fair, when the interviewer noticed the sound of a baby crying while talking to Grimes about her upcoming “space opera”-themed album, ‘Book 1’.Last week, (March 23), the singer shared a rare photo of her daughter on Instagram, posted alongside a picture of herself wearing a red matching onesie.

Elon Musk is reportedly planning to build his own town in Texas, and has consulted both Grimes and Kanye West.According to The Wall Street Journal, Musk has acquired at least 3,500 acres of land outside Austin, and is planning to construct “a sort of Texas utopia along the Colorado River, where his employees could live and work.”Reportedly, officials at Musk’s tunneling company Boring Co. are looking to incorporate the town in Bastrop County, which is near planned SpaceX and Boring facilities, meaning the entrepreneur and CEO would be able to set some of the regulations in his town in order to expedite his plans.Per WSJ, Musk had several meetings in 2022 with Grimes, who he shares two children with, Kanye and Kanye’s architectural designer to discuss ideas for the town.

Grimes has revealed that she’s writing music for the first time in a while, adding that she “forgot” how fun it is.The musician and producer’s last album, ‘Miss Anthropocene‘, was released in 2020. She’s since shared a number of standalone tracks – some of which remain officially unreleased – including ‘Love‘, ‘Welcome To The Opera’, ‘Player Of Games’ and the Jennie (BLACKPINK) and Dorian Electra-featuring ‘Shinigami Eyes’.Now, the Canadian star has tweeted that she’s enjoying writing music again.

Grimes (aka Claire Boucher) has reiterated claims that she plans to stop making albums in the near future, saying in a new article – where she and M.I.A. (real name Mathangi Arulpragasam) spoke at length for an “in conversation” feature – that after releasing “one more album”, she’s “going to do things that are more helpful to people”.The feature, published by PAPER yesterday (October 18), came in support of Arulpragasam’s just-released sixth album, ‘MATA’.

Elon Musk reportedly thought that Grimes was a “simulation” he’d created in his mind.According to author Devin Gordon who appeared in the BBC‘s new docuseries, The Elon Musk Show, the SpaceX and Tesla CEO believed that Grimes was his “perfect companion” but not “real”.“She [Grimes] told me repeatedly that Musk has this theory of her that she’s not real,” Gordon told the TV show via Cosmopolitan. “That she’s a simulation who was created by him and exists in his cerebral cortex as sort of the perfect companion to him.

Grimes has teased that her “girl group debut” will happen through songs on her upcoming album, ‘Book 1’.The musician is preparing to release the follow-up to her 2020 album ‘Miss Anthropocene’, which she recently told fans is done and could be issued in two volumes.Writing on Twitter earlier today (September 20), Grimes shared a photo of her “AI girl group” NPC and teased their involvement with the record. “Working on my girl group debut,” she tweeted.

Grimes has new music on the way — and maybe a new look, too. In photos shared to Twitter over the weekend, it appears the singer has undergone plastic surgery in order to permanently sport a pair of elf ears. The 34-year-old shared a snap of her with medical wrap around her face with the caption, «I did smthn crazy!»In another tweet, Grimes revealed that it was there, in the «plastic surgery clinic» that she wrapped up the finishing touches on her new album.«Album is done we're mixing.

Grimes has shared a new photo hinting that she has undergone surgery to get elf ears, a procedure she has been teasing for a while.Last month, the artist shared her desire to get vampire teeth and elf ears, tweeting: “Does anyone know anyone great/ safe/ reliable ppl who could do vampire teeth caps on me in Austin or LA? Also, any reputable elf ear modifiers in either of these cities? (Still debating this surgery cuz cartilage doesn’t heal so it requires permanent stitches).”In a second tweet, she then added: “Has anyone done elf ear mods with a good outcome?”Taking to Twitter once again yesterday (September 17), Grimes shared a photo of herself with her head wrapped up in bandages, with the caption: “I did smthn crazy!”Though she didn’t confirm whether she had undergone the elf ear procedure, she did share a follow-up tweet, where she said:“Album is done we’re mixing.

Grimes says her new album, ‘Book 1’, is “done”, taking to social media today (September 17) to share a handful of details.On Twitter, Grimes wrote: “Album is done we’re mixing. My friend and I.” She went on to share details of how the release’s final track was completed.

Grimes has taken to social media to update fans on forthcoming new musical releases, leaving her record label, and a recent health scare, among other subjects.The Canadian artist promised new music arriving on September 30, stating that her new album was finished and now simply “waiting on approvals for [the] next single and mixing”. Asked if the record, reportedly called ‘Book 1’ according to an earlier interview, is still about AI lesbianism, Grimes replied that it was “about militarised AI courtesans among other things”.The record also appears likely to include a contribution from Jennie from BLACKPINK, confirming rumours after the K-pop star appeared in the video for ‘Shingami Eyes’ and were spotted together in 2021.

Grimes has hit out at journalists who she claims are “stalking” and attempting to “dox” her and her children in an attempt to “get at” her former partner, SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.Grimes, who was in a relationship with Musk from 2018 to 2022 and has two children with him, took to Twitter on Tuesday (August 23) to blast those who she claims are attempting to reveal personal information about her and her family.“To the journalists who are stalking me and trying to doxx me and my kids… contacting all my friends and acquaintances and even anyone I interact with on social media. It gets back to me,” she wrote, threatening to reveal the names of those journalists if they persisted.

Grimes has teased more about her upcoming collaboration with The Weeknd, suggesting that the track will be released this summer.The star first revealed that the team-up existed last year when replying to fans on her Discord server. After fans asked for a collaboration with the ‘Dawn FM’ musician, Grimes replied: “Hmmm surprise for yalls.” When another person asked “Grimes an weeknd collab when”, she replied: “It’s called Sci Fi.”Now, in a new interview with Vogue China, the artist has shared more about the song.

Grimes has always been open about her interest in fantasy and cosplay. She’s now announced her intention to take things up a notch by making permanent alterations to her teeth and ears to help give her the appearance of a vampire and elf, respectively.

Bella Poarch successfully leveraged looking into a phone camera and making faces on TikTok into a successful pop music career. But there's no point in hating on the medium: we had this debate decades ago when the kids variety show The All-New Mickey Mouse Club launched the career Britney Spears, and the pop pantheon is, for the most part, a better place for it (Justin Timberlake was another cast member on that show, but on balance, I think that ruining Janet Jackson's career hurt pop music more than his music helped).

Bella Poarch's new video is an action-packed mini-movie in which Grimes makes a cameo appearance as the evil nemesis. Check it out above.

Bella Poarch has announced her debut EP ‘Dolls’ and shared the title track from it, alongside a star-studded video that features cameos from Grimes, Madison Beer, Euphoria’s Chloe Cherry and more. Check it out below alongside the rising star telling us about fighting Grimes in the video and the “strong messages” contained in the upcoming record.Poarch, who is the third most-followed person on TikTok, launched her music career last year with the debut single ‘Build A Bitch’ – which has since been certified platinum.

Grimes played an unreleased song titled ‘Welcome to the Opera’.The track opened the musician’s evening set at the festival on Saturday night (May 21).

Grimes has donated a number of clothes and items from her 2021 Met Gala appearance to raise money for Ukraine.The musician is one of 50 artists who have given personal items to the Resistance For Ukraine benefit auction that aims to “support Emergency Response & BIPOC families (Black, indigenous, and people of colour) in and out of Ukraine.”Each piece from the auction, which closes May 26, offers “a unique interpretation” of the theme ‘resistance’, and all proceeds will be donated to Diaspora Relief and Razom which help provide food, shelter, and evacuation support.The items Grimes has donated to the auction include her CHRISHABANA x Dune Harkonnen Mask and the silver elf ear cuffs, both of which she wore at last year’s annual fundraising event at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.“Hey guys – I’m auctioning stuff from my Met Gala look last year to raise money to help get BIPOC families out of Ukraine since they’re having trouble exiting at the border,” Grimes wrote on Instagram, sharing photos of the items.A post shared by ☘︎

Swedish House Mafia have announced Grimes and Kaytranada as openers for their upcoming tour – find tickets here.The Scandinavian dance trio of Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso released their long-awaited debut full-length ‘Paradise Again’ last week (April 15).Speaking to NME about ‘Paradise Again’ back in November, SHM said that the record would serve as “an invitation into our world”.In a four-star review of the new album, NME said: “Swedish House Mafia’s debut album sees the trio flexing their musical and emotional muscles across 17 brilliant, fearless and often surprising tracks. The kings of dance music are very much back.”The group will be heading out on a world tour this summer in support of ‘Paradise Again’, with Alesso, Zhu, Vintage Culture, Grimes, and Kaytranada confirmed as opening acts at various dates.

Grimes has announced her intention to release an “intergalactic children’s metaverse book”.As Bitcoin.com reports, the musician revealed her plan while speaking remotely at the Avalanche Summit in Barcelona last week. The summit was a conference for developers, researchers and others interested in the blockchain platform Avalanche.The project will be a part of Culture Catalyst, a $100million initiative by the Avalanche Foundation and NFT platform OP3N that will focus on funding Web3 entertainment projects from musicians, filmmakers and other artists.“When I first got into Web3, this was the kind of project I was hoping to see,” Grimes, who has two young children, told the audience at the conference while speaking from a video screen.“I’m very excited to be partnering with OP3N to launch a series of educational art for babies and small children with the goal of creating a profound experience for babies that is also deeply meaningful to adults.”Last year, Grimes auctioned off a suite of digital NFT artworks through the Nifty Gateway marketplace.

Grimes has admitted to taking down the controversial indie blog Hipster Runoff a decade ago.As Pitchfork reports, the website in question went offline back in 2012 due to an apparent hacking. The platform’s anonymous founder and operator, Carles, told Vice at the time that there had been “signs of foul play on the server”.“And some of the last actions before it crashed are very suspicious.” he continued.

Grimes has claimed that she was fired from promoting Dune for Warner Bros as an “influencer”.Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s iconic sci-fi books came out last year and starred Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya.Speaking to Vanity Fair for a new cover story, Grimes shared her love for Herbert’s books, and revealed that she had dreams of directing her own Dune adaptation.She then went on to say that she was initially hired by Warner to promote the film via her social media following.

As a result of dedicating my life to thinking about Elon Musk as little as possible, I know very little about Grimes. The songwriter and visual artist – who has described her music as “post-internet” and an aspirational combination of Mariah Carey and Aphex Twin – is often lumped together with her billionaire partner, and the two are inexorably linked through both their transhumanism aesthetic and their, ah, social media blunders.

Elon Musk‘s superstar singer ex-girlfriend Grimes, 33, shocked the known universe when she revealed to Vanity Fair magazine on Friday, March 10, that she and Elon, 50, secretly welcomed another child  — a baby girl named Exa Dark Sideræl Muskaby born via surrogate — together in December 2021. However, despite the fact that Grimes alluded to being in a “fluid” relationship with Elon in the article, which she quickly retracted just hours later on Twitter, HollywoodLife has EXCLUSIVELY learned that their now three-month-old daughter was no secret to Elon’s new girlfriend, Australian actress, Natasha Bassett, 24.
