Blind Item: A popular songstress is battling with substance abuse

Madge

Britney?

Since we're not 16, we don't really care.

I hope it’s not Adele.

Liza saw Adele with the ghost of Gest?

This songstress is not nearly as popular as the girls you're naming!

Courtney Love

Mariah Carey?

Fiona Apple?

Amy Winehouse?

Tiffany?

Oh, God! Please do not let it be Ariana Grande.

Deborah Gibson

Um this BI needs to narrow down to the race of said songstress so we can have a better shot at guessing. As of now it could be Stevie Nicks!

Lady Gags

Kim Gordon

R14 She is white.

Stevie Nick's. Harry Styles is pumping someone 50 years younger than she is.

Would Sam Smith be too obvious? Clearly she's off the rails recently.

A Jonas brother?

Britney. She's just checked herself into a rehab.

None of you are even close unfortunately. Think newer girls.

It’s def Britney, with Justin Timberlake as the ex.

R23 Is JT married to a singer? God.

Sel Gomez

It’s Cardi B

Vivian Lee Smallwood

Hmm Keisha? Lana Del Rey?

It's Lana del Rey.

Her ex G Eazy was smashing 24 yr old Halsey

Sam Smith

Bingo.

On what fucking planet is Lana del Rey popular?

Lana Del Rey

R32 Shut up. I never even used to word successful to describe her. In fact I pointed out multiple times her waning popularity.

How do her fans call themselves? Lanatics?

R35 Lipsters.

It's somebody with a KNOWN to the public substance abuse problem , so it's definitely NOT Madonna , not to mention Madonna is the most successful female Artist in music history

It's somebody like Courtney Love or Britney Spears maybe Stevie Nicks

I love you, R13.

Halsey dumped G-e for cheating. It’s not Lana.

Tiffany.

Ariana Grande?

As much I hate to be admit it Ariana is super successful right now and I can't think of any of her exes who are dating more successful female musicians.

Brandy

Selena Gomez

It's Lana.

Grace Jones

Edye Gorme?

Ru Paul

Wow. All.of.you.are.so.wrong. about Britney, Courtney and Lana, who is pretty popular btw commenter above. It's got to be someone who is possibly in hiphop or pop, but much younger.

Must be Björk. Is Matthew Barney dating Cardi B.?

Debbie Boone. The Lifestyle Lift fell.

So what is the "sad past"?

Who is the "rival songstress" who is dating her ex and is now more successful than her?

Cher

Doris Day's pool boy is now monitoring Connie Francis' pH.

Fergie

Give us more Lana tea op, gurls looking bloated lately

Anita O'Day

Lana is popular with the hipster douchbags and anyone under 30.

Sure r56. It seems like no one wants to touch this one. I have to be careful with what I say because Lana's inner circle has become very small.

Ever since her called off engagement and subsequent break up with Barrie James O'Neil she has become a total wannabe. Her relationships with an Italian photographer and G-Eazy were all self-involved pursuits.

Eazy gave her easy access to drugs. According to a few people who were around Eazy at this time, Lana was giddy to do drugs. Eazy broke up with her for this very reason: she wanted him to make herself feel better, and for nothing else. They shared zero mutual interests. Lol.

Also Lana's circle dissipated and shifted greatly over the past five years. Jaime King, assistants, New York friends, her own manager, have all grown very tired.

Also an interesting tidbit, Lana turned off the comment feature on her instagram. Apparently the constant adoration from her fans drives her insane. Which I completely understand. She used to receive on average 200-300 comments on an average months old post in just one week.

Also, her body dysmorphia is getting out of hand!

Interesting. The body dysmorphia would explain the platypus lips. Any other Lana adjacent music gossip?

I’m friends with an indie/art famous singer, based in Portland,and she is way creeped out by her fans. And she’s only 1/4 famous as Lana.

This is a bit out of date. Halsey and GEazy broke up a few months back and Halsey is now dating 20 year old Yungblud, who looks like a kind of punk Harry Styles and comes from Doncaster like Louis Floplinson of 1d fame.

GEazy is a massive junkie, Lana the same and Halsey too. All spazzed out on opiates, benzos and meth.

R59 What drugs does Lana do?

Lana = opiates queen

Yes, despite Lana's claims of sobriety throughout the years, she's ever entirely stopped dabbling in drugs. A few years prior to being discovered she was doing meth with hairdressers in NYC. Alcohol was a constant throughout her life but she was never addicted to it like she claimed. Or not nearly as addicted as she made it seem.

As far as I know Lana dabbled in opiates, drinks and vapes (lol) THC. These aren't heavy drugs but her pscyhe is fragile, she's a classic borderline, so this isn't good for her cognitive state.

Stevie looked great at the RRHOF and she's 70. If she relapsed into drugs she'd be dead straight away.

R64 Yep. Opiates are her ish. Prescribed valium at one point in her life too. She really is retro in so many aspects.

R67, she even wrote a song called Heroin.

Many of these young stars take drugs all day long. Adderall or coke to give them energy to work, then meth for sex, finishing the day with opiates and benzos for chilling and sleeping.

If you listen to her talk you in interviews it's very obvious. She's spacey, in a way that someone whose mental processes have been interrupted from long term drug abuse.

Her fans read it as her being introspective. She's just a burn out lol.

Petula "I Know a Place to Hide My Meth" Clark?

GEazy ODed and nearly died last summer. He was best friends with the tragic Mac Miller. He and Lana must have been a match made in junkie heaven.

Lana vapes instead of smoking now.

Lana apparently was using meth earlier in her life. She said so, but not in so many words: a fan on Twitter was telling her tale of addiction to meth and what Lana replied implied that she also had been addicted to meth. If she's bloated though it's 100% not meth. My guess would be opiates or booze if she's bloated.

My guess would be food if she's bloated as she's talked many times about finding it hard to stay skinny. Drugs can only help so much.

R68 Lana's brother was/is a heroin addict who went to rehab and the song is kind of about him

She's probably upset because she looks like Octomom.

GEazy sings about his love for skinny women ('5ft 8 but she weighs 120') so Lane probably hit the coke/meth to get thinner. Halsey is tiny, like a child, probably only 100lbs at 5ft 3.

[Quote] Halsey and GEazy broke up a few months back and Halsey is now dating 20 year old Yungblud, who looks like a kind of punk Harry Styles and comes from Doncaster like Louis Floplinson of 1d fame.

They really can't come up with better names? What the fuck is a Yungblud?

I love Lanas older music so much. Im sad to hear that her "muse" is gone and she wants out of the industry. Being exposed to constant star fucking sociopaths, flowing drugs, non stop travel, creepy fandom, and pressure to be SUPER beautiful with an asymmetric plastic surgery face would be very exhausting to maintain.

It's Christina Aguilera. She has had a serious drinking problem for years. Either her or Demi Lovato. Those two would be the ones.

I love Lana Del Rey’s sad music. But she needs to make an album with a producer who isn’t Rick Nowells. I need another ULTRAVIOLENCE, not a LUST FOR LIFE.

Lana Del Rey’s sister is dating the guy who played Troian Bellesario’s love interest in PRETTY LITTLE LIARS.

Demi Lovato seems like an obvious choice.

Mariah, and the younger woman is the much prettier and naturally small -waisted Thalia.

[Quote] Demi Lovato seems like an obvious choice.

So the ex would be Wilmer?? Who's he dating?

Anne Murray

Margaret Foster

Wilmer and Demi are close friends, but she has dated two or three guys since they split up.

Joe

"She has to see her ex with another, younger rival songstress who's arguably more successful than she is now. "

That Countess Luann sure is causing that singer a lot of grief isn't she?

MIRANDA LAMBERT you dolts

This was Doris Day, she had hit records right? And she just died of an overdose, of course they covered it up, be we all know.

Billie Eilish?

Miranda Lambert's ex is not with a younger singer.

That chick from No Doubt is 50 years old.

Demi Lovato, obviously! Polled in the wrong place, DL demo is 30+ years older than her target crowds.

Me want Lana!

r93, which "Doris Day"?

Mariah has a song called Bye Bye but none of her exes are dating a popular singer other than Mottola and Mexican Thalia no one cares about.

R32 you must be out of touch with contemporary pop culture. Lana may not get much radio play, but she doesn't need to because she is a millennial—she has the internet, and she almost exclusively writes music that only depressed millennials can relate to, so she has a pretty expansive demographic who listen to her music. She packs out arenas and has for several years now.

It sounds like Demi Lovato until you get to her ex dating some model not someone more successful than Demi.

Has Lovato dated shawn mendes lol? Camila can be considered her protegee, she judged her on x factor.

[Quote] and Mexican Thalia no one cares about.

Is there any other Thalia???

Whitney

Could this be Doris from 'Fame'?

The OP claimed it's Lana, but sure doesn't look like it from the success she's having since the months he first posted that. The drug thing has to be bullshit.

.

It's obviously Grace Slick

I was going to say Mariah but then I remembered Courtney Love career made on heartbroken Kurt fans. I never understood her HOLE thing.

LDR is literally dating a fucking cop who did drug busts. I think she's even engaged to the guy.

How in the hell could it be her?

Madge/A-Rod/JLo?

R37 I don't think Courtney Love is a songstress.

Maybe a groupie that would've chocked on her own vomit if she hadn't fired the group HOLE and married Kurt Nobrain.

She was actually good in The People vs Larry Flynt though

s Gomez, she off the rails bout beiber, and loves her party party

Susan Dey?

I just heard the ".losing their muse" thing somewhere! I can't remember who it is or where I heard this. It's nobody mentioned here so far.

[Quote] She has to see her ex with another, younger rival songstress who's arguably more successful than she is now.

R113 Hailey isn't a songstress.

r15 Stevie always says..."following my muse...so no husband, no children
