The Singing Weasel

May 20, 2019 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] Here is an interesting story about a famous performer who screwed over a whole bunch of people in the music industry!

She was the female star of a TV show that had a musical component. Because The Star and the show were so popular, songwriters, music producers, music publishers, managers, etc. were always clamoring to get their songs featured.

The last season of the show did not go well.

You see, there were almost a dozen songs that were supposed to be recorded for the final season of the show… but The Star refused to record them.

This should not have been an option. The contracts were already signed. For many of the songwriters, this was going to be their big break.

On the days she was scheduled to show up at the studio to record them, though, The Star simply stayed home.

Why?

It wasn’t because she was ill or because the songs were bad.

It was because she was bored with the show and her character. She was “over it.”

Well, dozens of different people started panicking! They called her management and the show runner and the studio that made the show and remind them that they had a contract and that the star was legally obligated to record their songs for the show.

We literally got into screaming matches with them over the songs.

Everyone was pleading and arguing and threatening each other with lawsuits.

The Star still refused to record the songs.

We tried to explain to her that this decision was going to hurt dozens of songwriters, managers, agents, and music publishers associated with the songs. She said she didn’t care.

Her management didn’t care either. Furthermore, they cited her popularity as the reason that she would never have to do anything she didn’t want to do!

Her management said, “She’s not doing it so get over it. She’s one of the biggest stars on the planet. Do you really want to be known as the [songwriter/music producer/whatever] who sued [The Star]?”

The TV show writers, producers, and directors had to go in and rewrite, re-shoot, and re-cut the final shows to exclude all of those songs that had been cut and fill the air time with dialogue instead.

The songwriters and music producers and managers who had contracts walked away without their songs ever making it to air.

Nobody sued the Star. But they will never forget that time that The Star weaseled out of her contractual obligations and how unprofessionally The Star and her management team behaved. They despise her for it.

Wonder if The Star has a weasel tattoo to commemorate escaping all those lawsuits?

    I don’t think it’s Lea. She had tons of songs in the last season of Glee, volume didn’t change.

    My guess is Hayden Panettiere on Nashville.

    She used to have tons of songs but currently watching the last season she has 1 so far. They put her in a cult and sent her to Bolivia for a few episodes… I’m willing to bet those were the rewrites. It’s also almost all original music whereas glee would just covered 95% of their songs and wouldn’t really need writers.

    Some singer whom was on Fox’s Empire, though I ceased watching last
    season.
    I don’t recall whom had performed except:
    Jennifer Hudson,
    Alicia Keyes,
    Estelle,
    Courtney Love,
    Joss Stone,
    Rumor “Long-Face” Willis {whom by the way, is NOT a star, nor a Singer, however played a character whom supposedly was both.}

    May 21, 2019 at 8:59 pm

    No clue who it is, but I have a big question about Lea. Didn’t they COVER songs? It automatically excludes any possibility of “new” songs airing (I haven’t seen the show so I base it on what I know: they covered songs).

  5. cassadaga says

    May 21, 2019 at 4:39 pm

    For something different: Hayden Panettiere, Nashville.

    Saying that as it featured original music, whereas Glee didn’t, it featured already famous songs, so I don’t really see how it would be the songwriters’ big break..

    I think this is Miley. Lea Michele has never been one of the biggest stars on the planet. Miley, at her peak, was everywhere. “Glee” also didn’t record original music. Every song had already been previously recorded. “Hannah Montana” had a very long list of songwriters. And it was no secret that Miley wanted off of the show…badly.

  9. Mydecember says

    May 21, 2019 at 1:41 pm

    Lea was never one of the biggest stars. Glee got re-written because of Corey’s death.

    This has Miley written all over it. She was beyonf over Hannah Montana.

  10. bec215d says

    May 21, 2019 at 12:46 pm

    One of the “biggest stars on the planet” wouldn’t be Lea Michele – that sounds more like Miley. And Miley has many tattoos, where as Michele isn’t known for them. Remember Miley was determined to destroy her Hannah Montana persona – this makes way more sense to me. Also, being young at that time, I could imagine her sense of entitlement and selfishness would’ve been amplified. She’s 26, so was just 18 or 19 when Hannah Montana ended.

  11. ShutupMeg says

    May 21, 2019 at 11:48 am

    Leah Michelle….ugly face and …ugly personality- from her reputation!

  12. AuburnTiger says

    May 21, 2019 at 11:43 am

    Someone from Nashville. Hayden or Connie

  13. lindseyann says

    May 21, 2019 at 11:30 am

    This is not Lea Michele and Glee. This is most definitely Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana.

    It wouldn’t make sense for “songwriters to be dying to be featured” on Glee. Their songs were already famous – but original unknown songs would benefit more from becoming Hannah Montana songs.

    Also, I’ve watched both shows. Lea had a lot of songs in the final season of Glee. I can’t imagine there being dozens of songs left out. But Hannah Montana? The last episodes were incredibly light on the music,…

  14. yo1774 says

    May 21, 2019 at 9:59 am

    This sounds like Lea Michele or Katherine McPhee, both have a bad reputation.

    It always surprise me that Lea best friend is Jonathan Groff who has the opposite fame of being really easy to work with

  17. ClaudMQ says

    First time user, long time reader, wish me luck! I believe this is Hayden Pannettiere and the show is Nashville.

  18. taupeantlers says

    May 21, 2019 at 9:18 am

    I will go with Tenille. I think ‘weasel’ is a hint, since they had that song Muskrat Love.

  19. lynlemuria says

    May 21, 2019 at 9:11 am

    Lea Michele, who else?

    I really would’ve sued her. She had her fake ex’s death protecting her at that time.

  20. seatofmypants says

    May 21, 2019 at 8:44 am

    I’m guessing Hayden Panettiere. She seems to have had some “issues” come up – and i could see her big leaguing this way

    TV Show – Nashville

    Lea Michele – Glee??

  22. kelno19 says

    May 21, 2019 at 7:47 am

    I’m thinking Miley Cyrus on Hannah Montana only because she has a bunch of random tattoos.

  23. deepsigh says

    May 21, 2019 at 7:46 am

    I’m going with Katherine McPhee of SMASH.

    SMASH used original songs for Bombshell and Hit List the “Broadway Musicals” that the characters were in. It would make sense that people were excited to
    get their work featured.

    Glee was the other contender ,but I only remember that show using established songs.

    If I were the song writers, publishers,etc? I’d privately read the “star” to filth, keep
    working hard, and get revenge when the opportunity presented itself.

  24. xxNYGirl says

    The Star: Lea Michele (Glee)

    [Optional] If you were one of those songwriters/music producers/ managers/agents/publishers, what would you have done?: I would’ve publicized it. Not even necessarily sued, but just made public that she went back on her contractual obligations because she was a diva/ felt like it.

  25. Kristen.Francesco says

    May 21, 2019 at 7:09 am

    The Star: Lea Michelle

    [Optional] If you were one of those songwriters/music producers/ managers/agents/publishers, what would you have done? I would have outed her for not recording the song. I know it was ten years ago, but she was not that big of a start that she shouldn’t have had her bridged handed to her for acting like she was Whitney Houston or Celine Dion. Although maybe karma bit her in the arse anyway because she hasn’t really been seen all that much since the show ended.

  28. BlueHerons says

    Sheena E Miami Vice.

    I don’t remember her doing anything after that show.

    I’m getting a Jennifer Hudson vibe here.

    Optional: That’s a touchy issue, you don’t want to *iss them off by suing them for their contractual obligations. Anyway whoever this is (and I can’t wait for the guesses) is a jack*ss.

    Glee?

    • Flmama says

      May 21, 2019 at 5:07 am

      I’m probably wrong on this as I don’t consider her “one of the biggest stars on the planet.” But, I guess her management team does.

  32. Catfish says

    TV Show: Smash
    Hints: “Over It” was her debut song after Idol.

    • mimsicle says

      May 21, 2019 at 6:10 pm

      But Smash got cancelled, didn’t it? And she was/is certainly not an international star. Glee was huge everywhere at its peak and Lea Michele was arguably The Star.

    Lea Michele

    She has lots of tattoos.

      I do not think Katy Perry ever had her own show on tv. The closest she got to her own show was American idol/voice one of those shows. I don’t think it’s her.

  38. MsLaceyLoo says

  40. nooneuno97 says

    May 20, 2019 at 10:40 pm

    My guess is Lea Michele, I have heard she is quite horrible to pretty much everyone. I can’t imagine how someone could be so arrogant and unprofessional, even after being told that numerous people would be hurt by their actions. That is truly the behavior of a garbage human being!

    Optional: I would sue them anyway.

    Lea Michele on Glee? Although to be honest I think the show was doing poorly in ratings towards the end, so I’m not sure people were that desperate to have her record their songs.

    Whatever the case , her own albums were massive flops and she had to settle with playing second fiddle to Emma Roberts on a middling teen show, so karma didn’t take long to catch up with her.

    IDK who Lady Weasel is but if I were a songwriter & had the understanding that she’d sing my song during that final show & then she refused to–I’d sue. What an unprofessional jerk.

    May 20, 2019 at 7:43 pm

    Leah Michelle from Glee. You could tell that she was getting a big head.

    I might’ve sued, I don’t know. Seems her career is sort of barely there, so maybe that’s karma. I think that the artists she screwed over should’ve exposed her. It’s still not too late.

  50. yesyesyall says

    May 20, 2019 at 7:20 pm

    star: Ms. ‘Nasal is The New Alto’ Arianna Grande
    I would have sued her. She reneged – they can’t look bad in this.

    Hmm or could br Crazy Ex Girlfriend, rachel bloom

    • mimsicle says

      May 21, 2019 at 6:03 pm

      No way! I don’t think she has any tattoos, for one thing. Also, isn’t it her show? Not to mention the fact that she really isn’t a big star, unfortunately.

  52. mysteryrm says

    May 20, 2019 at 7:14 pm

    Only show this makes me think of is Glee/Lea Michele

  54. ncd112 says

    May 20, 2019 at 6:49 pm

    Glee – lea michelle

    She gets a new tattoo to ‘commemorate’ corey every year on his death anniversary even though she is married or was dating someone at the time.

    Optional: easy never work with her again. Never recommend her for any future projects. Wait? Pretty sure that is already happening.

    ‘Biggest star on the planet’ ? For a cutesy high school show? Yea, most popular until the next show comes out. Which was right around their season 3.

  55. VegasMike says

    May 20, 2019 at 6:27 pm

    Lea Michele/Rachel from Glee, and her 16 tattoos…? Maybe?

    [Optional] Tough call. Go home and meditate and wait for her karma to catch up to her…

  56. High Steppa says

    Would advise people not to work with her. Very unprofessional.

    • bridgetrounds says

      May 21, 2019 at 12:26 pm

      This is most definitely Ariana Grande. She “commemorates” a lot of things with tattoos, and she pretty much does whatever she wants, even her ex boyfriend said it in one of his last songs…She is one of the biggest diva’s out there now. Her management team also groomed her from day one – they created a monster!

    • NoseyNana2008 says

      May 21, 2019 at 5:43 pm

      She was the first one to pop into my head when I read the blind, bc of the tattoo thing, but I couldn’t remember her carrying a TV show. My 2nd choice was Lea Michele.
