"

But while Gaga won the most awards, it was Justin Bieber who caused the biggest commotion when he appeared with his girlfriend, Disney star Selena Gomez. The 17-year-old won best pop act and best male."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2005/mar/18/arts.usgunviolence?INTCMP=SRCH
"I was just fed up," she said on the stand. "They were taking advantage of me."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2010/sep/02/truth-women-hip-hop?INTCMP=SRCH
"Earlier this year, American journalist Latoya Peterson wrote about the rise of Nicki Minaj and what it meant for the role of women in hip-hop. Well it seems she wasn't the only person interested in, or concerned about, the rise of the titillating female MC"

http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/2011/oct/30/some-like-hip-hop-review?INTCMP=SRCH
"The first half seems at once over-plotted and over-simplistic: there are, for example, no unsympathetic female characters, and the overbearing masculine behaviour could be much more subtly drawn."
