Speaking of Jennifer Lopez, this is random, but her mom won $2.4 million in 2004 after placing a $3 bet on a Wheel of Fortune machine in Atlantic City.
I mean, can you save some of the money for the rest of us?

YouTube was invented because of Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction* at the Super Bowl. One of the inventors of YouTube missed the original broadcast, wanted to see it, but couldn't. Then they invented YouTube.
*Justin Timberlake's fault because he's a POS.

"Ray of Light" by Madonna is also essentially a cover.
The Spice Girls didn't come up with their nicknames, some rando magazine did.
In an interview with Cosmo, Mel B said: "It was actually a teeny bopper magazine called Top of the Pops who gave us our names. We were already established as the Spice Girls, but they wrote a story about us and within it they called us each something different. The names stuck, so we went with it!"

Britney Spears absolutely hates the song "Sometimes." She hasn't performed it since 2001.
At her Onyx Hotel tour special in 2004, the living legend finished her set by saying, "Oh wait, I forgot to sing 'Sometimes.' Sometimes I run, sometimes I hide, oh GOD, I never liked that song anyways. PEACE!" The last time that song was performed live was partially at her 2001 Dream Within A Dream tour.
Sony Music
Lady Gaga hates the song "Telephone."
Her best video, IMO.
UMG
"Hollaback Girl" is the first digital song to ever sell a million copies.

Kelly Rowland, not Beyoncé, was the first member of Destiny's Child to have a solo No. 1 hit.

Alicia Keys originally picked the stage name "Wilde." So, essentially, her name would have been "Alicia Wilde."
Her manager had a "crazy dream" and suggested the name "Keys," like on a piano lol, and the rest is history.
Sony Music
Both Pink and Hilary Duff turned down the song "Since U Been Gone."
Dumb dumbs! (No offense.)

Always so weird to me.

Not even a text!

Speaking of Fergie, her spot in the Black Eyed Peas was originally offered to *that girl* from the Pussycat Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger.
Who?
