The singer did an interview with Billboard -- and she touched on this issue bluntly ... saying there are a lot of "big artists" who re-release all of their music multiple times, including on vinyl, and Billie thinks it's a shameless cash grab ... not to mention bad for the environment.

Beyoncé Remixes Dolly Parton's 'Jolene' ... On 'Cowboy Carter' Album
Beyoncé took Dolly Parton's most famous hit about begging a woman to stay away from her man and switched it up -- going on the offensive ... and invoking the notorious "Becky."
It was one of many surprises on Bey's new album "Cowboy Carter" -- with her track "Jolene" not necessarily being a pure cover of DP's iconic song ... but more so a remix, where she drastically changed the lyrics and shifted the focus over who the song is really about.
Whereas Dolly's version is quite literally pleading with a woman named Jolene -- who's portrayed as a beauty who's seducing Dolly's fictional husband -- Bey did the opposite ... and fired off warning shots to this "Jolene" and told her to steer clear from her own hubby.

For all you Mozart buffs out there, there's a piece of memorabilia up for grabs: his signature -- but here's the catch -- you need some seriously deep pockets if you want to snag it.
Gotta Have Rock and Roll has the legendary composer's signature up for auction -- and it's expected to fetch anywhere from $100k to a whopping $200k -- with the bidding kicking off at $75,000.
Mozart's signature, written in black ink, has been authenticated and graded (NM-MT 8) by PSA/DNA, the top dog in third-party authentication for autographs and memorabilia. So, rest assured, it's the real deal!
Mozart's full name was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and he's widely regarded as the most influential Austrian composer of the Classical period ... and his musical legacy continues to resonate and inspire to this day.
Despite his short life -- he passed away at just 35 in 1791 -- Mozart's incredible productivity led to over 800 works spanning nearly every classical genre of his era.
Goes without saying ... Mozart's influence on later composers was undeniable ... and Beethoven, in particular, drew loads of inspo from his work.

Rihanna Rockin' New Short Haircut ... Livin' the Blonde Life!!!
Rihanna seems to be putting an age-old theory to the test ... finding out if blondes really do have more fun -- 'cause she's rocking a short, light new hairdo!
The singer-songwriter stepped out in Santa Monica Friday, and her new look was instantly noticeable -- RiRi's usually lettin' her long locks flow, but now ... she's trimmed most of it off.
Just check out the pics ... her hair's not even touching her shoulders at this point -- a pretty sharp contrast to the Rihanna we normally see these days ... who lets her hair fall all the way to her hips. That's the 'do she's been sporting lately, anyway.
Also, peep the jewelry ... Rihanna's iced out with a necklace, earrings and bracelets -- shining bright like a diamond while on her way to an important meeting. It definitely accentuates the blonde hair up top ... and we gotta say, she's pulling the whole look off and then some.
Rihanna's look is noticeably different from one of the last times we spotted her ... as she was leaving Mukesh Ambani's son's pre-wedding bash in India with a swag bag and at least $6 million for her performance on the special day.
No word on how A$AP Rocky feels about the fresh cut ... but when your lady's RiRi, it's hard to imagine you can criticize much about her -- 'cause she's a beauty through and through.
Diggin' the new look, Rihanna ... just in time for Spring, too!

Celine wasn't just there to watch the game ... she and her sons got the royal treatment from Bruins coach Jim Montgomery, who introduced them to the team for a legendary line-up read.
The icon's ice hockey antics came hot on the heels of her heartfelt tribute on International Stiff-Person Syndrome Awareness Day ... where she thanked her family, team, and fans for all their love and support since her diagnosis.
DECEMBER 2022
Celine was diagnosed with SPS in 2022, and she's been fighting tooth and nail to cope with the autoimmune disorder, even pulling the plug on her tour to prioritize her health.
The truth is ... she has her good days, and bad ones too during this battle. Her sister has said at times Celine is suffering and completely immobilized.
But, CD's shining moment at the NHL game is proof she's doing all she can to get back in the groove.

Ricky Martin Dad Encouraged Him to Come Out ... But Team Said Don't Do It
Ricky Martin says his dad was all for him living his truth out loud ... telling him he needed to come out publicly -- this while his professional team tried to talk him out of it.
The singer sat down for an interview on Sirius XM's "Andy Cohen Live" when he opened up about deciding to come out as gay -- and he says not everyone was in alignment on whether or not he should let the world know.
Martin told Andy his professional team told him it wasn't a good idea to reveal himself as an openly gay man ... in fact, he says they were quite certain it could kill his career.
But, Ricky goes on to explain his dad understood the importance of coming out and pushed him to tell the world after his two sons were born in 2008 ... with his pops saying RM couldn't start out by teaching his children it's better to lie than be yourself.
In any case, Martin says he took his time formulating a letter to tell the world he was gay and then tweeted it out ... and he said he felt instant relief -- sobbing tears of joy.
Of course, Ricky's since had some very public relationships with men ... including his high-profile marriage to Swedish artist Jwan Yosef from 2017 ... until their divorce last year.
Anyhoo, Ricky's clearly living his life authentically now .. and it's all thanks to a little fatherly advice!
