John Legend has disagreements with Kanye West.
The 35-year-old singer-songwriter has worked with his producer Kanye West on all four of his albums and claims they constantly argue over what would work best and says he's sometimes forced to go against the rappers wishes.
He said: "We always have differences of opinion.
"We try to get to a place where we agree on a song, but occasionally I put something on that I love and Kanye isn't too fond of."
The 'All of Me' hitmaker admitted however that he thinks people are too quick to judge the 'Yeezus' star - who is engaged to Kim Kardashian and is often criticised for his public rants.
John told the Daily Star newspaper: "He is so honest that people think there must be something else behind it, but it's just him telling the truth as he sees it.
"We place a premium on being polite, but it's not the most necessary thing.
"If you look at what Kanye says and does, it might upset our sense of politeness, but has he ever actually hurt anybody? No."
Dexters have been getting advice from Liam Gallagher on how to survive in the music business.
The new band - made up of Tom Rowlett, Chris Heggie, Ben Debo and Vincent Dignan - have been given a few tips from the former Oasis frontman as they prepare to release their debut album 'Shimmer Gold' on Monday (17.03.14).
Frontman Tom told BANG Showbiz: "I went to watch Beady Eye play in King's Cross and then got invited back to a hotel across the road. I was sitting at this table with Liam and other cool people, drinking beers, I thought, 'This is life, I could do this all the time'.
"He was giving us advice saying, 'Don't f***ing listen to anyone else, just do what you wanna do'. How you thought he would be ... he was."
Tom, who formed Dexters two years ago, was a big fan of Oasis growing up and was inspired by their music.
He's now written the tracks for his band's debut album and is looking forward to their tour in coming months.
Tom continued: "It's our first album and they say you have your whole life to write it but I doubt there's one song on the album that we were playing in our first year, most of them were written over the past couple of months.
"[The album is] a retrospective of sh*t I've done and things I want to do and I'm really looking forward to the tour, this is going to be a step up, we're doing loads of festivals over the summer and then hitting Germany."
Tom insists Dexters are out to make their own mark in the industry and doesn't like people comparing them to other indie rock acts.
He said: "One time we got compared to Pigeon Detectives and I went 'F**k off, I'm not f***ing having that'. I get it, we're lively on stage, but we don't wear leather jackets and our songs are about something, not just nonsense.
"I was like, 'Listen [to our music], before you start chatting that b***ks."
Dexters have also released their new single 'Recover' from their debut record.
The Temptations singer Otis Williams thinks Beyoncé's performance at the Grammys was too sexual.
The 72-year-old Motown legend is a big fan of the former Destiny's Child star but he is unimpressed with the erotic new direction she has gone in on her latest album 'Beyonce'.
Otis was particularly unimpressed by her performance of 'Drunk In Love' with her husband Jay Z at the awards show in January - which saw her wear a black thong bodysuit as she grinded against a chair, twerked on stage and suggestively danced against the rapper who at one point clasped her butt and kissed her.
Otis - who is the last original surviving member of the soul group - told BANG Showbiz: "I watched Beyoncé at the Grammys, and I have to say I'm a huge Beyoncé fan, but what she did with Jay Z I thought, 'No you ain't girlfriend!'
"But I guess she feels she's at the point in her life and her career where she can test things out and do whatever she wants, so I'm not mad at her for that."
The 'My Girl' singer also thinks Rihanna's videos and lyrics are too sexually explicit and he believes many modern artists are too eager to push boundaries just to make money.
Otis - who is on tour in the UK with The Temptations and The Four Tops - added: "I love Rihanna but I'm shocked by her and a few others that are coming out with very explicit things but it's very reflective of us as a people. When we started out, if we said 'damn' straight away we'd be told, 'Temps you can't say that' ... When I listen to some of the stuff that's being played on the radio I am appalled, and I'm an artist and I don't try to rain on anyone's parade but some of the stuff I hear today ... it's pathetic. I think to myself, 'Have we really lost our morality for the bottom line of money?'
"Music is simple, a great song will always stand the test of time. Great songs with great melodies, people can easily understand and relate to it."
The Temptations and The Four Tops - featuring Duke Fakir, the band's last surviving original member - are playing a series of concerts of across Britain in March and April.
The two legendary Motown groups will be joined by special guests The Platters and Freda Payne and tickets are available from Ticketline.co.uk

Aaron Paul "loved" driving '68 Torino for 'Need for Speed'.
The 'Breaking Bad' actor plays mechanic Tobey Marshall in the forthcoming action film and enjoyed getting behind the wheel himself when they were shooting scenes for the movie.
Talking to collider.com, he said: "What I loved doing over and over and over again - because it took us six nights to shoot - was the first racing sequence in the 68 Torino, and the Mount Kiska race. We shot all over ... in a little quaint town in Georgia.
"It was all night shoots. I got to do the majority of that driving and it was just a blast. We left skid-marks all over that beautiful little town and they're still there a year later."
Paul admits he would have liked to be involved in the more dangerous stunts but isn't sure whether he'd actually have gone though with them if producers had permitted him to partake.
He added: "I wanted to be in the car driving off the cliff - because you're connected to the helicopter you're going to be fine.
"I don't know. Just to say you actually did that - it's pretty ... I mean there's not a chance in hell, and I knew that, that's why I was like 'Yeah, I'll do it'.
"If they were like, 'Yeah, we'll let you do it', if I'm being honest with you I probably wouldn't have done it."
Meryl Streep is always the "bad cop" with her kids.
The 'Silkwood' actress admits her husband Donald gets away with spoiling their four grown-up children Henry, Mamie, Grace and Louisa, while she is left to be the villain.
Quizzed about who the boss is at home, she told France's Madame Figaro magazine: "I have to pay tribute to Donald, my husband! Before he left home, my older son was the one who had power over his sisters. But normally it's pretty balanced.
"We try and share everything, my husband and I, but like always, I'm cast as the villain, I'm the bad cop who punishes whereas the father says yes and consoles."
Meryl is appreciative that her acting career has allowed her to spend more quality time at home with her family than most women's jobs.
She said: "Being an actress isn't really the problem because it's a job that makes you more available than many others. If I had been an architect or a journalist, I would have been a lot less available. Many of my friends only have one week's holiday at Christmas and two in summer.
"Very often I work for four months then I have about five at home. My kids never knew exactly when I would be there, but I often was! I was an unpredictable mother, which meant they were always on high alert, a very good thing! The real problem is celebrity. It's very unstabilizing."
Shailene Woodley and Theo James are "attracted" to each other.
The pair play Beatrice 'Tris' Prior and Tobias 'Four' Eaton respectively in forthcoming sci-fi action flick 'Divergent', where they share a "hot and intense" screen romance, and director Neil Burger admits he was inclined to cast them after witnessing their instant chemistry during auditions.
He told Total Film magazine: "They really had a connection so I was confident we would get it. They're both kinda attracted to each other! And I think people are going to be excited about their relationship in the movie, there's real friction between them.
"They're in a world where it's not about their attraction, they've got real, physical concerns - whether it be training or real life-or-death situations - but unlike, say, 'The Hunger Games', where there's a sort of relationship but not really, here's a real romance which is hot and intense."
'Divergent' is based on Veronica Roth's popular novel of the same name, and Burger wants the "sophisticated" film to appeal to everyone.
He added: "It's from a young adult novel but we're playing it pretty sophisticated. It's not a movie just for teenagers, it's much more universal."
Peter Facinelli threw Jaimie Alexander a surprised party on Monday night (10.03.14).
The 40-year-old actor wanted to do something special for the brunette beauty for her 30th birthday earlier this week, so decided to host a secret bash at El Floridita in Hollywood with close friends.
A source told Us Magazine: "Jaimie arrived with Peter and was so happy, she was definitely surprised."
The 'Twilight' hunk arranged the party with the help of Jaimie's pals, who thought the venue was the "perfect place" to celebrate her birthday as she loves to have a boogie.
A source explained: "Jaimie loves to dance so it was the perfect place. All her friends were there. They surprised her with a birthday cake and Peter held her hand."
Jaimie took to her Twitter account on March 12 - her actual birthday - to thank her beau for making her feel "special" .
She wrote: "Thank you @Peterfacinelli for making my birthday (and everyday) so special (sic)".
The pair began dating in November 2012 and they have been inseparable ever since.
Peter was previously married to Jennie Garth, whom he has Luca, 16, Lola, 11, and Fiona, seven, with - for 11 years, but they split up back in March 2012.
Jamie Lynn Spears is reportedly getting married today (14.03.14).
The 22-year-old actress obtained a marriage licence from Tangipahoa Parish Clerk of Courts in Louisiana earlier this month, and looks set to tie the knot with her fiancé James Watson sooner rather than later, according to E! News.
The couple, who have been engaged for a year, filed for the document on March 5 and have 30 days from the date of issuance to get hitched before they have to apply for a new licence.
The loved-up duo have remained tight-lipped on their wedding plans, but Jamie teased in January that her big day was edging nearer after she posted a picture on Instagram of her shopping for a bridal dress.
The blonde beauty announced her engagement on Twitter by posting a picture of a stunning diamond sparkler on her ring finger.
This will be Jamie's first marriage, but her second engagement after her ex-boyfriend Casey Aldridge also popped the question in 2008 before their on/off relationship ended for good in 2010.
Jamie also has four-year-old daughter Maddie with Casey.
Meanwhile, Jamie's sister Britney is also planning to tie the knot with her boyfriend David Lucado after it was reported last week she had her eye on getting married at Elvis Presley's former home, Graceland - which is now a museum - in Tennessee.
Charlie Sheen reportedly wants to reduce the monthly child support allowance he pays his ex-wife Denise Richards.
The 'Anger Management' star is believed to be going to the Los Angeles court to ask the judge to cut the $55,000 he gives Denise each month for their daughters Sam, 10, and Lola, eight.
A source told RadarOnline: "Charlie hasn't spent any time with the girls in several months and thinks it's ridiculous that he continues to pay Denise $55,000."
The 48-year-old star also wants his former spouse to move out of the posh pad he has provided her with in Los Angeles.
Denise, 42, has lived in the house with Sam, Lola, and her adopted two-year-old daughter Eloise, for over a year because it is close to her children's school.
The former couple fell out in December after Charlie claimed Denise deliberately took the children on a vacation over the festive holiday so they couldn't spend Christmas with him.
Meanwhile, Charlie recently got engaged to his porn star girlfriend Brett Rossi after he popped the question in Hawaii last month.
However, Brett is still legally married to her first husband Jonathan Ross, who filed for divorce from her last July.
Charlie also has a grown-up daughter Cassandra from a previous relationship and four-year-old twins Bob and Max with his third wife Brooke Mueller.
Snooki is planning to make her bridesmaids try on horrible dresses.
The former 'Jersey Shore' star is determined to have perfect wedding when she marries Jionni LaValle later this year, but she admits shopping for her big day doesn't always have to be serious.
She wrote on her blog: "I'm also going bridesmaid dress shopping next week with my maid of honor to pick out dresses for my girls! My wedding colors are gold and black, so she will be trying on a million gold and black dresses. Dresses that I love, and dresses that are hideous just to give me a laugh. (sic)".
The 26-year-old beauty has decided on a 'Great Gatsby'-themed ceremony and, although she's still got so much to plan in time for her wedding day, she insists she hasn't had any "diva moments" yet.
She explained: "I am SO excited for my fall wedding, and thank god the planning has not given me a headache yet. I'm happy to say i have not had any bride/diva moments yet! I don't want to be that kind of bride. I want a fun and loving bride, with no stress. I'll let you know how that goes after the bridesmaids dresses. (sic)".
Snooki and Jionni have been engaged since 2012, but decided to hold off on their wedding plans because they wanted to focus on their 18-month-old son Lorenzo.
Jason Bateman uses swear words around his two-year-old daughter.
The 45-year-old actor allows himself to curse when he's looking after Maple because she doesn't understand, but he refrains from using bad language when he's with his other daughter Francesca, seven.
He explained to GQ magazine: "I tend to use as many [swear words] as I can think of. I don't do it around my seven year old, but I do around my two year old, because she doesn't know what the hell I'm saying yet."
Meanwhile, the 'Arrested Development' star isn't keen for Francesca and Maple, who he shares with his wife Amanda Anka, to follow in his footsteps and take on a career in acting.
He said previously: "I want to help my kids navigate their careers but I don't want it to be in the entertainment industry. Acting is kind of an odd way to make a living and I hope they'll be drawn to something other than that."
Jason - who became a high-profile teen actor in the 1980s - believes acting can be a tough industry to crack and he doesn't want his daughters having to deal with the disappointment that comes with it.
He said: "I want my daughters to be very passionate about what they want to do and to be very unapologetic about wanting success in that field and sometimes in acting they sense you want it too much."
Jessica Simpson has changed the location of her wedding.
The singer and her fiancé Eric Johnson were planning to get married on the Italian island of Capri this summer, but they've now decided to tie the knot closer to home in California.
The couple, who have daughter Maxwell, 22 months, and eight-month-old son Ace together, "decided to keep it [their wedding] simple" as they thought it would be "too much" to ask their guests to fly to Europe for the ceremony, a source told Us Magazine.
The 33-year-old star had her eye on Capri after falling in love with the place during a holiday with Eric, 34, in 2010, and the pair flew out to Italy again last October to look at possible venues.
Meanwhile, Jessica - who is a spokesperson for Weight Watchers - has recently shed 50lbs of her baby weight and is determined to stay in shape for her big day.
She said previously: "Knowing that I have the wedding coming up is an incentive to stay on Weight Watchers, count my points and stay in the gym. I mean, when you see my dress, you'll know."
The blonde beauty, who resides in Los Angeles, has set a date for her wedding, but is remaining tight-lipped on the exact details.
