Timberlake working with Duran Duran
Justin Timberlake is working on Duran Duran's new album, along with superproducer Timbaland, who created recent smash hits for both Timberlake and Nelly Furtado, the British band said.
“We've got some good stuff happening,” said lead singer Simon LeBon. “We've done three tracks with Timbaland; we've collaborated in a writing and production manner on one of those tracks with Justin Timberlake. We've got a lot really hot producers who are hotly interested in working with us at the moment. We are in a very good space.”
Duran Duran, who had its biggest hits in the ‘80s with such songs as “Rio” and “The Reflex,” was in New York last Tuesday to perform at Cipriani's at a benefit for the AIDS research organization AmFar.
The night also featured an auction, led by Sharon Stone, of luxury items.
Elton says organized religion fuels bias
Organized religion fuels anti-gay discrimination and other forms of bias, pop star Elton John said.
“I think religion has always tried to turn hatred toward gay people,” John said in the Observer newspaper's Music Monthly Magazine in an interview published Saturday. “Religion promotes the hatred and spite against gays.”
“But there are so many people I know who are gay and love their religion,” said the singer, who exchanged vows in December in a civil union ceremony with David Furnish. “From my point of view, I would ban religion completely. Organized religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into really hateful lemmings, and it's not really compassionate.”
John also criticized religious leaders for failing to do anything about conflicts around the world.
“Why aren't they having a conclave? Why aren't they coming together?”
