The Australian rapper took to Twitter on Monday to announce that, despite releasing what was meant to be her final album, End of an Era , last year, she’s coming out of her indefinite retirement from the music industry early. “A year ago I was willing to walk away from music because I was tired of the negative energy it attracted.,” she wrote . “But what I’ve learned is that even when I’m minding my business, y’all gonna be negative AND nosey. So if I can’t have peace, neither can you. I’m coming back. Cry about it.” Azalea is embracing the chaos now. Ahead of the album’s arrival last year, she told fans that she felt as though “shifting my energy and focus to what I’m most excited about is what is right for me and I hope you’ll continue to support whatever creative projects I’m out here doing.” But the rapper never made it too far away from the music industry — she’s currently on the road with … [Read more...] about Iggy Azalea Ends Brief Retirement From Music: ‘If I Can’t Have Peace, Neither Can You’

Jane Campion Apologizes to Venus and Serena Williams: ‘I Made a Thoughtless Comment’
Power of the Dog director Jane Campion garnered the full spectrum of internet love and hate over the weekend, first with her necessary quip about Sam Elliott, and then with an unnecessary quip about Venus and Serena Williams . On Saturday, March 12, Campion was on the red carpet for the Directors Guild of America Awards, when she was asked about some disparaging comments Elliott made about her film on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast. Elliott — who’s acted in his fair share of Westerns — criticized the film for its “allusions to homosexuality,” complained about the costumes, and wondered, “Where’s the Western in this Western?” In response, Campion said Elliott was “being a little bit of a B-I-T-C-H,” spelling out the word for added effect. “He’s not a cowboy, he’s an actor,” she added. “The West is a mythic space and there’s a lot of room on the range. I think it’s a little bit sexist.” Alas, the good energy Campion garnered Saturday went out the window Sunday as she … [Read more...] about Jane Campion Apologizes to Venus and Serena Williams: ‘I Made a Thoughtless Comment’
