Rita Ora walks out of interview when asked about Calvin Harris: rude?

Rita Ora

These are photos of Rita Ora dressed like a Hershey’s kiss at the launch of the new DKNY fragrance in New York on Tuesday. I assume she’s wearing a wig.

The battle between Rita and her ex-boyfriend, Calvin Harris, rages forth. He famously removed half the songs from her upcoming album and axed her performance at the TCAs. Some of you disagreed, but I found the situation very “over the top” on Calvin’s behalf. I’m no fan of Rita’s music but don’t see what Calvin could gain by blocking Rita from singing at a teen awards show.

The feud continued with Calvin vague tweeting and whining about his “damn good reason” for dwelling upon Rita enough to hold her back. She was raving about Bieber and throwing it in Calvin’s face. What a mess. Even if the rumors are true that Rita cheated on Calvin, I don’t see why he’s wasting so much energy on his past. Because it’s obvious that Calvin and Rita will never, ever, ever get back together again.

Thanks to Calvin’s bitter ways, Rita’s new album has been postponed from September until next January. Journos still want to know the dirt on why Calvin is so angry. One interviewer asked Rita what happened: “There’s been a lot of rumors about Calvin Harris not releasing some of your stuff.” Here’s a clip of what went down, but you don’t have to watch. All Rita said is this: “Thank you. Bye bye.” Then she walked away.

Is this rude? Rita quickly shut down the interview, which is a huge change from when she was blabbing all over the place last week. I wonder if she and Calvin reached a truce. Maybe he let her have a song or two if she shushed.

In other Rita news, she did the ALS ice bucket challenge (video here). She also held up some chocolate pretzels in front of her rack in these photos. Ugh.

    She looks like Sia, but she’s still boring.

    • Selina Sui says:

      Sia wishes.

      • minime says:

        I bet both ladies are happy with who they are. I don’t think they resemble each other at all, regardless of the awkward wig that looks like Sia’s haircut. BUT, let me tell you, Sia is a genuine, incredibly beautiful artist that is actually talented and not selling records based on her relationship-drama or looks. She is a great singer/songwriter and for those who only know her from her last stuff (that is not so much my taste) you should check her first albums and collaborations with Zero7. That to tell that comparing Rita to Sia is like comparing McDonald’s to French cuisine.

      • Dani says:

        At least Sia is on the radio.

    Drama, drama, drama…DRAMA.

    I was fairly neutral on Rita Ora (even rooted for her because of RobK), but Lord–I bet Calvin’s wishing he never messed around with this chick.

    And yeah–I’m lost with the whole pulling the songs from her album. Why wouldn’t her team have the songs legally licensed, especially before she was supposed to be performing them. Why would she go and perform a song that she legally could not perform?

  3. mimif says:

    Wait is this the same thing that was doing a Kardashian? Sorry, I’m slow and can’t keep up with all the Snooze-Listers.

    • Dani2 says:

      Yup, the very one.

    • Sarah says:

      Yeah Rita seemed to cause Rob to start the descent into circling the drain . She cheated on him with like 30 guys then denied ever being exclusive with him

      • mimif says:

        Wow, 30 guys. I wonder if she got a medal for that?

      • eliza says:

        Rob was never a saint. He cheated on all his girlfriends, so he has no room to be hurt over someone cheating on him. You get what you give in life.

      • Kelly be says:

        She did not cheat on him with 30 guy that just some BS Rob won’t on about when they broke up even khloe told him to shut it down and stop the BS.

        Stop trying to put them blame on someone Rob problems are Rob problems no one else.

  4. Dani2 says:

    Lol so the album comes out in January? Good luck girl

  5. Abbott says:

    Or maybe she’s keeping quiet because she’s the one that’ll look bad if their playground slap fight continued?

  6. Stef Leppard says:

    This “fight” is giving both of them attention, so they’re milking it for all it’s worth. Fourteen minutes…

    • Diana says:

      Seriously, it’s such an obvious attention grab. If she had just said something like: “Well, we’re working that out now and I hope we can resolve this situation quickly and amicably,” — that would not have been news. Her being massively immature and walking out on an interview causes a (slight) stir, which is what she’s after.

  7. Josefa says:

    What drives me insane about Rita Ora is that I’ve always said she’s a OHW, the most forgettable and artificial singer that has ever existed. I can’t even name 2 songs by her. And yet I STILL SEE HER NAME POPPING UP. If all Rita will be known for are her bed affairs, give her a damn reality show and call it a day.

    Is she really that big in the UK? I just find her so artificial, fake, boring, and unoriginal. She’s a budget everyone-else-in-music-right-now.

    • Adrien says:

      She actually has a nice, unique voice. Better than most x-factor alumni or girl group wannabes. She’s about as big as Cher Lloyd. Her problem is she’s not likable like Adele nor controversial enough like Lana Del Rey or Iggy. She hardly makes a splash. She’ll be the next Jessie J.

  8. Victoria1 says:

    I’ll be facetious: girl, no that wig/hair is no bene. Please dye your hair appropriately and condition it. Over processed blonde hair makes me crazy! Gah

    • QQ says:

      That is the only thing i can focus on: The terribleness of all the broken bonds on the hairs of her hair and that wig looking sparse and askew situation/look she’s got going on ..it’s extremely distracting

  9. Adrien says:

    How long will she be milking this story? Nobody cares about Calvin outside the music/dj world. He’s not a hot tabloid figure. Should have stuck with Robbie K. In the meantime, she can ride Iggy Azalea’s coattails until her album comes out.

  10. AlmondJoy says:

    Wow. The wounds are certainly still fresh with these two. In my opinion, they’ve both been acting pretty catty and immature lately. And I say that as fan of both.

  11. Anna says:

    Maybe she doesn’t want to talk about it anymore because people weren’t automatically taking her side? And Calvin does have a lot of “power” in the industry when it comes to producers so maybe people didn’t want to work with her?

    This is so off-topic but I’m still surprised that she’s not part black. I thought for the longest time that she was biracial.

  12. Bridget says:

    As far as I can see, Calvin made one single tweet and somehow he’s whining all over the place?

    I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: ultimately this is Rita and her team’s responsibility and their fault. Recording artists don’t just get to perform and release songs that they don’t have the right to, and they should have had that locked down in a timely manner. She cango out and do as many interviews as she wants, and it doesn’t change the fact that she and her people really messed up.

  13. Leah says:

    @Bedhead Re you comment that Calvin would gain more from giving her his songs.. Calvin made 66 million dollars last year alone. He doesn’t need the money and i am guessing he doesnt need the trouble of having to work with an ex.

  14. Cheryl Tunt says:

    The girl in the stripy top in the background of the 2nd photo is really not impressed, haha! Love it

    Oh, more lol, I just realised she’s also in the first photo, equally unimpressed. I feel her.

  15. Melymori says:

    I’m proud to say that I don’t know not even one song from her. I’m kind of tired of this “Lady Gaga’s dress up trend” at least Gaga had 1 or 2 albums ok/meh for Gym music lol.

  16. It would be almost impossible for a dress to be more unflattering to her figure.
    Is it a bad sign when the whites of your eyes, teeth, and hair are all the same shade of yellow?

  17. Amanda G says:

    She should lose the blonde hair. It doesn’t go with her complexion at all.
