I miss bitchy-classy-gangsta-lolita Lana. So. Much.
And the music she used to do.

i can't watch porn where they call the girl hoe/slut/bitch/cunt. It annoys me too much and i end up scrolling through the feminism tag on tumblr.

Her face hasn't looked this good in ages. She looks incredible!       Barrie looks decent too

Maybe lana will be a recurring cast member!!

agree cant even imagine how awkward only lana would be

So did Lana abandon TROPICO in order to film and edit this?

I'm pretty excited for this debut album next year.
Tom has done the drums, Blake has done the guitar.
 
+ there is also a Lana duet!

We won't get it, we just won't get it. You've already forgotten even though you just announced it.

It's not plastic surgery. Just like dying your hair it will disappear after a period of time. She obviously likes it. Let's respect that. I'm here for her fantastic music. And it doesn't hurt that she always looks great.

i actually think this is really good, makes me think about a guy that smells like roses soaked in whiskey and cigarettes, and I love it 

Still waiting...
 

"He helped transform her from a painfully shy teenager to a world superstar – and as Lady Gaga prepares to launch new album Artpop, he should be basking in glory.
But instead, music manager Bob Leone, who also set Lana Del Rey on her path to fame, is broke and homeless, forced to move back in with his frail 88-year-old mother.
He claims that Gaga, 27, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, left him ruined – failing to reward him after he helped land her first major record deal.
And he says his grievances against the flamboyant New York-born singer has been taken up by Del Rey, who has blasted Gaga in a string of sharp-tongued lyrics.
The jibes, which appear in the  lyrics of her new song So Legit, include: ‘Stefani, you suck, I know you’re selling 20 million. Wish they could have seen you when we booed you off in Williamsburg.’
Leone says the lyrics reflect Lana’s fury at the way Gaga and her father Joe failed to reward him. 
‘She was very upset at the way I had been treated,’ he said. ‘We’ve spoken about it. She feels it wasn’t right.’
Leone, 64, discovered Gaga at the Triad Theatre, Manhattan, in 2000, when he was National Project Director at the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
The young Stefani, then just 14, attended several of his songwriting workshops.
He said: ‘She was painfully shy back then. When she came to one of my open mic sessions with her mother, she’d just look at the floor and her feet.
‘I went over to her and said, “Stefani, I know why you feel intimidated, as everyone is older in here, but promise me when you come back next week, I want you to get up on stage and hear what you got.”
‘And she did. That’s when I knew that she was going to be a superstar. Although I never knew she would be this popular and more recognisable than Obama and Oprah.
   
‘I asked when she was only 17, “What do you want as a creative  person, to be known for great songwriting?” She looked me in the eye and without hesitation said, “I want world domination.’”
At the time, Leone held showcases at a Manhattan venue, inviting acts from across the US to perform in front of top record company bosses. He put his young starlet Stefani on the bill in front of record executive Wendy Starland.
Impressed, Starland was keen to pair Stefani with Rob Fusari, who went on to co-produce Gaga’s debut album The Fame. The pair recorded a demo and Stefani signed a record deal just months later in September 2006. It was at this point that Leone stopped playing an active role in  her career.
But he claims promises made just before this major breakthrough, in the six months when he was officially working as Gaga’s manager, were never kept, mainly due to the involvement of her father, Joe.
Leone said: ‘She [Gaga] said to  her dad he could be her business manager, but she wanted me as her manager as she wanted to sign with a major label.
‘I was happy to then stand aside, glad I could help, but Joe never forgave me for being her manager.
‘He despised me for accepting the offer to manage her. When I asked for a contract, he constantly came up with excuses why not, which went on for a couple of months, but he said, “I give you my word, you’ve been into my house, when you get her the major record deal, you will be fairly compensated.”
‘That never happened... I was just tossed aside. 
‘I love Stefani, I miss Stefani. I grieved for her when she became Lady Gaga. She literally transformed into a different human being. I grieved for years.’
  Leone’s row with Gaga’s father reignited in 2010 when, struggling for cash, he decided to auction off a collection of unreleased CDs and recordings that the pair had made when she was a teenager. Within hours her legal team had quashed the release and threatened Leone. ‘Some of this music dated back to when she was 15. I thought it was maybe worth a lot. But as soon as it was made public, their lawyer called me.
‘He called me four times with ridiculous threats about copyright infringement and violating propriety rights of her name.
‘It was David versus Goliath and I accepted a settlement of $10,000 dollars. $1,000 of that went to my lawyer, $3,000 to the auction house, so I was left with $6,000.’
Now broke, Leone reveals he may one day be forced to sell the only letter he has from Gaga in a bid to raise more cash after leaving his Manhattan home.
  ‘I lived there for 31 years, but it got to point where I couldn’t afford it, my savings had disappeared  and I had no choice but to move back to be with my mother. I live on a  disability cheque and that’s it. I found Gaga but I haven’t got a penny from her.’ Despite his predicament and his grievances with Lady Gaga, Leone holds no grudges against Lana Del Rey, despite not receiving any financial reward for her success.
He says this is because he was only Del Rey’s mentor and never acted as her manager,
Leone believes her father’s personality had a marked impact on Lady Gaga.
He said: ‘She says she did it [seek fame] for world domination and to be more famous than anyone else, but I think the reason she wanted that was to get her father’s approval.’
A spokesman for Lady Gaga declined to comment."

Oh, ok. If i do something i'll show u. 

Of course! If you get the chance, I'd love to hear what you do with it as this is one of my fav LDR songs too

Yeah, i'll probably do that, cuz i love this song. It feels so soft, I wish i was good on remixes so i would make it a little bit heavy. But thank u for the encouragement    

This song is just amazing, i want so much put it on my dj set, but people around here just want to hear what they know.

Lana's passion seems to be writing for movies, so I expect that is what she will be doing for a long time.  There was a time when the best songs composed in America were sold to movies first, to be sung by people like Fred Astaire.  (I have a CD by jazz singer and ex-pat Stacey Kent - she lives in France - of songs that were introduced in Fred Astaire movies.)  I hope she will continue being a pop star as long as possible, but I thing she will end up doing music for Hollywood and its European counterparts eventually.  If she gets nominated for an Oscar for "Young and Beautiful", I think it will help validate her in the U.S., and make her more comfortable performing here.  I hope, anyway.  If she wins, it could rehabilitate her image completely in the U.S., like it did Frank Sinatra back in 1954, who won Best Supporting Actor.  Instead of being the singer who flopped on SNL, she'll be the Oscar winning singer and songwriter, Lana Del Rey.  Forever.

Maybe she's fucking pissed off that she works hard on beautiful songs for her new record and they are leaked online and she feel slike she can't use them on her new album. In the radio.com interview she was definitely sounding like she wouldn't include them as they are already out.
 
It could be likely that those Rick Nowels songs were the only tracks that she had done specifically for the next album, and as all of those leaked it's like she's back at the drawing board having to start over again. Which I imagine would feel extremely frustrating and would persuade her to step away from the music industry for a while. I do hope this isn't the case though

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not really torn up about her leaving music, that is if she even is. We have over like 10 albums worth of music, not including actual albums, and that is more than enough for a long time, not to mention that there will be more older music out sooner or later.
 
I respect her decisions, so there's nothing to complain about.

I miss bitchy-classy-gangsta-lolita Lana. So. Much.
And the music she used to do.

If you wanna get high with her, she's in the back doing crack, drinkin' p-p-pepsi        

I've already sent him some on Twitter don't worry. He said I'm gonna lose my shit when I see it though.

I miss bitchy-classy-gangsta-lolita Lana. So. Much.
And the music she used to do.

I miss bitchy-classy-gangsta-lolita Lana. So. Much.
And the music she used to do.

When she does this:
 
 
When she wears a shit load of extensions and 'does her hair up real big beauty queen style'
 
And when she licks her lips excessively
