Rebecca Black Says Debut Album Is Not Like 'Friday'

Rebecca Black started her home schooling 10 days ago after being forced out of school due to bullying, but the teenage "Friday" sensation has seemingly gotten the last laugh over those who tormented her: She's working on a full-length album, which will be out around Halloween, she told Rolling Stone.

She's well aware, though, of the vitriol directed at the song that brought her to the VMAs. "The album is nothing like 'Friday," she says. "It's got ballads, dance songs, everything."

Black, who is 14, seems unfazed by the events of the last few months. Next up? "Grammys, touring, or movies," she says, though there are no tour plans (or Grammy or movies, for that matter) in the works yet. "I'd love to be in Twilight, and I can't be in Harry Potter anymore, which sucks."

“Baby Got Back”

Sir Mix-a-Lot | 1992

While watching a Budweiser commercial during the Super Bowl, Sir Mix-a-Lot thought the skinny female models in the ad didn’t represent reality. So he wrote this ode to ample bottoms, featuring its famous to-the-point lyric: “I like big butts and I cannot lie.” MTV banished the video, featuring shaking booties and sexually suggestive fruit, to 9 p.m. or later. “I thought my career was over,” he told Rolling Stone. “Then I called Rick Rubin, and I told him the video was banned, and he was like, 'Great!' We sold another 2 million records.”
