Rebecca Ferguson will perform at Trump's inauguration if she can sing Strange Fruit... it's the Dredge

All the day’s celeb durt.

EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt from the top to the very bottom.

Rebecca Ferguson has put her name in the hat to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony. Yeah, really.

The X Factor runner up is signed to Columbia records in the States, and tweeted yesterday that she was asked to perform at the inauguration at the end of the month.

But, she’ll only do it on the condition she can sing Billie Holiday’s Strange Fruit.

I’ve been asked and this is my answer. If you allow me to sing “strange fruit” a song that has huge historical importance, a song that was blacklisted in the United States for being too controversial. A song that speaks to all the disregarded and down trodden black people in the United States. A song that is a reminder of how love is the only thing that will conquer all the hatred in this world, then I will graciously accept your invitation and see you in Washington. Best Rebecca X

Trump’s team have reportedly been struggling to find acts to perform, so we wonder if Rebecca’s request will be met.

We finally got a snippet of Emma Watson singing  in the upcoming Beauty and the Beast reboot. She’s not half bad.

The movie’s Facebook account posted the snippet of Emma singing Something There from the Disney classic, which is set for release on March 17th.

Bernard Brogan has tied the knot at last. The Dublin footballer married his girlfriend Keira Doyle on Stephen’s Day in Kilkenny’s Mount Juliet Estate.

He posted the first photo of the pair on Twitter yesterday and don’t they look gorgeous huns xo.
