ABBA Voyage, the concert experience featuring digital avatars of the Swedish pop icons’ four members, is set to open in London on May 27, and in celebration of the premiere, ABBA has announced plans to release a number of special audio collections.
Coinciding with the show’s premiere, career-encompassing 10-disc box sets featuring all nine ABBA studio albums, including 2021’s reunion project, Voyage, as well as a bonus disc of tracks that originally were only issued as singles, will be released May 27 on CD and vinyl.
Both collections — CD Album Box Set and Vinyl Album Box Set — feature the band’s classic eight original albums, spanning from 1973’s Ring Ring through 1981’s The Visitors, the aforementioned Voyage and the singles compilation, which is titled ABBA Tracks. The CD box set also comes with a 40-page booklet features information about the albums and a variety of photos. The LP set features discs pressed on 180-gram vinyl.
ABBA also will be releasing a limited-edition bundle featuring picture-disc versions of all of their studio albums on June 10. The collection will be available as a discounted eight-LP bundle featuring the group’s first eight albums and as a nine-disc set that adds a picture of Voyage. The picture discs also will be available for purchase individually.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, a new series of lyric videos was launched at ABBA’s YouTube channel that will eventually see clips for all of the songs from group’s classic ABBA Gold compilation premiering over the next 12 months. The first video, “Chiquitita,” debuted on March 18, while the second, “Waterloo,” premieres April 6.
The ABBA Voyage show will take place at the specially built ABBA Arena at London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Visit ABBAVoyage.com for full details.

Pentatonix will sing for a cause on April 16. The Grammy-winning group will perform at the Bahamian resort Atlantis Paradise Island, and a portion of ticket sales will benefit the nonprofit Atlantis Blue Project Foundation, which works to save Caribbean marine life.
We know her as Kelly Clarkson, but legally, she’s now Kelly Brianne. People reports the “Breakaway” singer has officially changed her name now that her divorce to Brandon Blackstock has been finalized. According to court docs, Kelly wanted this change because “my new name more fully reflects who I am.” Brianne is Kelly’s middle name.
The Weeknd has a new music video for “Out of Time” on the horizon. He confirmed the exciting news, saying it “drops next Tuesday,” which is April 5. The Weeknd began teasing the music video earlier this month, using a mysterious note and a blue folder emblazoned with the song’s name.
Jennifer Lopez should stick to her day job because she is not made for baseball. TMZ obtained video of her in a batting cage, and reports she “frequently” struck out. Lopez was having fun with boyfriend Ben Affleck and her daughter, Emme. According to witnesses, J.Lo didn’t let her lack of athleticism dim her style and even tried smashing the ball while holding her purse.
The Jonas Brothers are jumping into the snack game with their very own specialty popcorn, which is available to purchase in Walmart for about $4. They unveiled their Rob’s Backstage Popcorn, which is only 50 calories per cup. “When we first tried the popcorn, we fell in love with it,” they said in a statement. “After keeping it to ourselves, we are excited to share it with the nation.”
Lastly, Nick Jonas and Shakira‘s new reality series Dancing with Myself premieres May 31 on NBC

If you have about $20 million to burn and love Katy Perry, listen up — she’s moving out of Los Angeles and just listed her sprawling mansion.
People confirms that the “Roar” hitmaker is moving to the LA suburb of Montecito after living in her swanky 5,427-square-foot home for the past five years. The price tag? $19,475,000!
The mansion offers over an acre of land and lots of parking. In addition, it comes with on-site security and a private gym, and is located near plenty of private hiking paths and trails. But, for those wondering about the home’s more luxurious perks, Katy’s old digs offers canyon views, and features a cold plunge pool, an infinity pool, a sauna, a library complete with a fireplace, five bedrooms and six bathrooms — one of which comes with a marble-clad bath.
In addition, the home is close to fellow A-listers Cameron Diaz, Mila Kunis, Nicole Richie and their famous spouses.
Katy and her fiance, Orlando Bloom, dropped $14.2 million for their new abode in Montecito, and the outlet reports that they envision raising their daughter, Daisy, in the seaside community.
“They agree that raising their little girl in Montecito will be amazing,” an insider told the outlet. “They were looking for a house for a while before they put in an offer. They are very excited about their new house. It comes with a lot of history and a gorgeous ocean view.”
In addition, the place offers way more acreage than their old place — nine to be exact — as well as 12 bathrooms and six bedrooms.
Katy will also live closer to Oprah Winfrey, Ariana Grande, Ellen DeGeneres, and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who all reside in the Montecito area.

|
Harry Styles‘ new single “As It Was” has arrived!
The greatly anticipated new track and hot new music video dropped Thursday evening and is his first new music in over two years.
“As It Was” is an upbeat ballad that balances one of life’s painful dichotomies: the temptation to look back while being forced to move forward.
“Nothing to say/ When everything gets in the way/ Seems you cannot be replaced/ And I’m the one who will stay,” the Grammy-award winner sings. “In this world/ It’s just us/ You know it’s not the same as it was.”
For the video, Harry collaborated with Ukrainian Grammy-nominated director Tan Muino, who said in a press release, “Directing a Harry Styles video was a bucket list dream come true for me as he’s my favorite performer.
“Shooting him was bittersweet as it was one of the happiest days of my life, but on the second day of the shoot, my country Ukraine was invaded so you can imagine the insane emotions we had while shooting. Me and my team from Ukraine poured so much love into this video and you can see it on screen,” he added.
“As It Was” is the lead single from Harry’s forthcoming third studio album Harry’s House, due out May 20 and available for pre-order now. The record, which was recorded from 2020-2021, will have a total of 13 tracks, including “As It Was.”
Later this month, fans can catch the English singer/songwriter perform “As It Was” live for the first time ever when he takes the stage to headline the legendary Coachella Festival on April 15 and 22. He’ll also be hitting the road continuing his Love on Tour tour beginning in Glasgow on June 11.

Olivia Rodrigo is up for a whopping seven Grammys on Sunday night, including Album, Record and Song of the Year and Best New Artist. And according to Olivia, she’s kind of been preparing for this moment for years.
“Ugh, it’s so crazy,” Olivia told ABC News about her nominations. “I have always looked forward to the Grammys, since I was like 12 years old.”
“I would watch every year with my mom,” she adds. “And I used to live really close to the Grammy Museum when I was probably 14 years old and I would go every weekend and make my mom come with me, just because I was so enamored with it and loved learning about all the artists.”
“To be nominated is just one of the most surreal things ever,” notes Olivia. And even though the chart-topping “drivers license” star is booked to sing on the show, she says even attending the ceremony will be a huge thrill for her.
“I’m just so excited to go,” she tells ABC News. “I’ve always wanted to go, and so it’s so crazy that I, you know, [am] going and now performing too — that’s crazy!”
The Grammys air Sunday night on CBS live from Las Vegas, and Olivia’s got the chance to make Grammy history depending on her wins. For example, if she wins all seven of the Grammys for which she’s nominated, she’ll become the female artist with the most Grammy wins in a single night.
In addition, if Olivia wins Album, Record and Song of the Year and Best New Artist, she’ll be one of only three artists ever to sweep those four major categories in one night, along with Billie Eilish and Christopher Cross.

This is NO JOKE!!! New technology let’s you know how you would sound on Mars!
The Science of Sound on Mars
The Perseverance rover carries two microphones, letting us directly record the sounds of Mars for the very first time.
Even though Earth and Mars are entirely different planets, it may be comforting to know that if you were on Mars, you might still sound pretty much like yourself. If you were standing on Mars, you’d hear a quieter, more muffled version of what you’d hear on Earth, and you’d wait slightly longer to hear it. On Mars, the atmosphere is entirely different. But, the biggest change to audio would be to high-pitch sounds, higher than most voices. Some sounds that we’re used to on Earth, like whistles, bells or bird songs, would almost be inaudible on Mars.

Camila Cabello drops her highly anticipated new album, Familia, next week. While the “Havana” singer has been teasing snippets of the album’s songs, she turned up the hype on Friday by dropping the album’s complete track list.
“Familia next Friday! Any guesses which will be your favorite?” she tweeted, and shared a link so fans can pre-save the project.
Camila also unveiled her album collaborators. Aside from Ed Sheeran, who joined her on the recently released “Bam Bam,” others include WILLOW, the daughter of Will Smith, as well as Latin superstars Maria Becerra and Yotuel.
Willow will join Camila on the track “Psychofreak,” which the Grammy nominee previously revealed was her favorite song on the album because it harnesses “the craziest and deepest thoughts I have when it comes to being in a relationship with someone… I bare my soul.”
Maria and Yotuel will respectively accompany Camile on the singles “Hasta Los Dientes” — which means “Armed to the Teeth” in English — and “Lola.”
In all, Familia offers 12 new songs from Camila. She’ll preview them all ahead of the album’s release, via her “immersive” TikTok concert Familia: Welcome to the Family, which takes place April 7 starting at 7 p.m. on her TikTok account.
Familia drops a few hours later, at midnight, on April 8. Camila’s already teasing that a deluxe version is also on the way, though a release date hasn’t been announced.

|
Harry Styles is practically an open book and this latest interview proves it.
Speaking to U.K. radio’s Capital FM, the singer dove into his new music, starting with his powerful track “As It Was,” which dropped Friday.
The track begins with a young child declaring, “Come on, Harry! We want to say goodnight to you!” — a line the singer revealed was voiced by his goddaughter, Ruby Winston, who’s the young daughter of Ben Winston, a producer who worked with One Direction and remains good friends with Harry.
“She used to try and call me before bedtime every night and one time it didn’t ring or something so they sent me that. I dug it out when we were in the studio and put it in front of the song for some reason and I kind of just fell in love with it so it stuck,” Harry explained. He also joked that, “She was asking for a big fee” to use her voice.
Childlike cuteness aside, it didn’t take long for Harry to switch to more adult topics — specifically, filming love scenes in movies. The topic came up when he warned his fans not to watch either of his upcoming films — My Policeman and Don’t Worry, Darling — with their parents.
“I’m gonna have to do another one” that won’t have fans covering their parents’ eyes, he said.
Harry also said of filming love scenes that he built a “trusting relationship” with his acting partners. “It was all discussed and all was it, ‘OK, above the filming, above the camera, it’s me and you and we trust each other and at any point we can stop whenever’ and all that kind of stuff,” he said, adding, “I’d never done that before — on camera at least.”

Get ready, Little Monsters, because Lady Gaga is going to take over the Grammy stage.
Variety reports that Mother Monster is the latest artist to join an already jam-packed, star-studded performance lineup on music’s biggest night this Sunday.
It’s already a big night for Gaga, because she’s been nominated for five awards: Album of the Year and Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for her Tony Bennett collaborative work Love for Sale, as well as Record of the Year, Best Pop/Duo Performance, and Best Music Video for their song “I Get a Kick Out of You.”
While it’s unknown if Bennett will join Gaga on the Grammy stage because of his health, the two previously took it over in 2014 to perform “Cheek to Cheek.” The legendary crooner is battling Alzheimer’s Disease and last performed with Gaga at Radio City Music Hall over the summer. That concert aired on CBS, titled One Last Time: An Evening with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga.
Aside from the “Applause” singer, other artists slated to perform at the upcoming Grammys are Olivia Rodrigo, Silk Sonic, John Legend, Carrie Underwood and many others.
The 64th Annual Grammy Awards, hosted by Trevor Noah, air Sunday night starting at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

|
Adam Levine is the latest owner of the mansion once owned by actor Rob Lowe. The Maroon 5 frontman purchased the Montecito, California, property for a cool $52 million.
Dirt dug up the details of the sale and reports that Adam and wife Behati Prinsloo snatched up the property, dubbed Oakview, in what appears to be an off-market sale. The house, which was built in 2009, sits on a three-and-a-half acre estate.
The 10,000-square-foot home comes with a game room on the second floor, both an eat-in and catering kitchen, a home theater with top-of-the line equipment, a “meditative water feature,” swimming pool, tennis court and an outdoor living room with a fireplace.
It also comes with six bedrooms, eight full baths plus three half-baths, and a guest house that offers two beds and two baths. Not to mention, its pool house has a bed and a bath.
The views aren’t bad either, with the property boasting ocean views along with a backdrop of California’s rolling mountains. The mansion appears to be ultra-private, too, with photos showing nary a neighboring property.
Adam and Behati have also recently listed their Pacific Palisades mansion, located in Los Angeles, and are asking for $57.5 million for it. They purchased it from Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner about two years ago for $32 million.

Meghan Trainor says when it comes to her choice of underwear, she’s team granny panties, and has made her case why she will never forsake her full-coverage undies for a thong.
On her podcast Workin’ On It, the Grammy winner explained, “I love me a granny panty. I cannot wear thongs, I’m such a loser.” Meghan added, “Never wore a thong. I tried when I was younger and I hated it.”
She later admitted that was a little white lie, because she had to wear a thong when she sported a full bodysuit in 2019 for LA PRIDE. While she said on Instagram at the time that she “never felt more sexy in my life,” 2022 Meghan came clean and confessed that she was “so uncomfortable.”
The “Title” singer noted that it should be no secret that she wears big underwear. “When I record my workout videos, when my trainer’s recording me we’re always like, ‘Granny panties!’ Like it’s on my Instagram,” she laughed.
Meghan added that she “only” gets her underwear from Victoria’s Secret, “because they know how to make a good granny panty.” She also admitted that she is still wearing her “maternity panties” despite giving birth to her son Riley last year, because they “are large and they hug me.”
The “All About That Bass” artist also mused over the possibility of coming out with her own line of granny panties designed specifically to hide the lines. Whether or not she goes through with it has yet to be seen.

Taylor Swift’s childhood home is on the market, Yahoo! reports. Taylor grew up on a Christmas Tree Farm in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, and it could be yours for a cool $999,900. That home was the star of her holiday tune “Christmas Tree Farm” and the music video that took us all around the property. It also is reportedly where she wrote “Teardrops on My Guitar,” “Lucky You” and “Love Story.”
Andy Grammer released the music video for his new song, “Joy,” which features him dressed to the nines and performing at a swanky club, complete with a full backing band and a glittering backdrop. If the music makes you nostalgic for seeing him in concert, that might be the point because he’s about to kick off a massive tour starting May 31. Tickets are on sale now.
Kelly Clarkson is giving her daytime talk show a “complete overhaul,” reports E! News. “She will be taking a few weeks off to take the kids on vacation, but will be focused on complete overhaul of her show as she takes over for Ellen [DeGeneres],” a source spilled to the outlet. The Kelly Clarkson Show will take over Ellen’s time slot when the latter’s show airs its final episode on May 26.

Katy Perry has teamed with country superstar Thomas Rhett for his new song, “Where We Started,” which is the title track off his new album. He told Apple Music’s Kelleigh Bannen that he didn’t think he could get Katy on the track because he didn’t think she knew who he was. But, he sent the track out anyway. “And the next day she literally hit us back and said, ‘I resonate with this song so much. Please send me the files. I want to put my vocal on it,'” Thomas revealed.
OneRepublic has teamed with Gryffin for his track “You Were Loved.” The breakup anthem offers plenty of gentle guitars, swelling vocals and, of course, lyrics that punch you in the gut. Gryffin said in a statement, “Working with One Republic has been an incredible experience and we’re really happy to have created a song that really aligns with both of our projects sonically and lyrically. We feel the record is a euphoric, summer anthem that has a strong emotive core to it.”
Jewel may be taking over TikTok, but that hasn’t distracted her from new music. She dropped “Living With Your Memory,” the next single off her upcoming Freewheelin’ Woman album. “This song is a really fun one for me,” she said in a statement. “It tells a story that illustrates the power of our memories. Sometimes we look back on past loves, and remember things better than they were. When living with the memory of a past love is better than the reality of living with the actual person, you get a song like this!”

https://warm1069.com/shawn-mendes-says-he-gave-camila-cabello-a-heads-up-before-releasing-when-youre-gone/
|
Shawn Mendes recently sparked theories that his new song, “When You’re Gone,” is an attempt to win back his ex, Camila Cabello. The Canadian singer clarified that was not his intention, nor did he take Camila by surprise.
In an interview with Extra, Shawn says he told Camilla about the track before releasing it, adding that doing so was more than a sign of respect.
“Camila and I have always been writers for as long as we’ve known each other, so we understand what that means,” Shawn explained. “And we respect what that means. And there’ll always be transparency between us.”
Shawn also broke down how the breakup anthem came to be, revealing, “I wrote this song about a month after Camila and I broke up.” He said that month milestone following a breakup allows one to start seeing their former relationship in a good light. “You kind of start having all the memories of things that happened, and all the memories of so many amazing things,” he explained.
The Grammy winner says he’s “really glad” he put those thoughts to paper, adding, “There’s only one way you can connect with actual people in a real way. And that’s by being truthful and being vulnerable.”
Although Shawn has come out with new music, he admits he’s “not sure” when his next album will follow. He estimates that he’ll “start making the album” when his tour wraps in August 2023.
Now that Shawn is single, does he want to jump into a new relationship? He says, “I never really say yes or no to that question. Because it is what it is,” but notes, “I really think that I’d like to be as full and satisfied and content within myself before I try to get that from somebody else.”

|
If you’re a fan of Bridgerton, chances are you’ve recognized several modern-day songs playing in the background as orchestral pieces, such as Taylor Swift‘s “Wildest Dreams” and Maroon 5‘s “Girls Like You.”
Alanis Morissette was the latest artist to have one of her hits transformed by the popular Netflix series, now in its second season — giving a Regency era-twist to the Grammy winner’s “You Oughta Know.” The cover played during the fifth episode, when Kate, played by Simone Ashley, and Jonathan Bailey‘s Anthony Bridgerton resist their feelings for one another because of the scandal it would cause.
Fans fell in love with this classical cover — and so did Alanis. So, she kicked things up a notch by lending her vocals to the instrumental version, which you can listen to now on YouTube.
Accompanied by Duomo and Kroma Strings, Alanis sings along to the slowed down and violin-heavy adaptation of her revenge hit. The “Ironic” singer, dressed in a red suit, sits on a stone bench under a magnolia tree to belt out the impassioned track as scenes of Kate and Anthony’s rollercoaster romance flash across the screen.
Fans praised how the singer transformed her tone, effectively changing her once angry breakup anthem to make it sound full of heartbreak and pining.
Here’s hoping Alanis has now sparked a trend and more artists decide to sing along to their Bridgerton versions of their biggest hits.
Bridgerton is streaming its second season on Netflix.

Glass Animals are up for Best New Artist at tonight’s Grammys, but they won’t be attending, because frontman Dave Bayley has tested positive for COVID-19.
“I feel fine, and am showing no symptoms so far, but nonetheless it would be truly irresponsible for me to attend the Grammy ceremony,” he writes on Instagram. “I am so overwhelmingly heartbroken…I wanted to be there for all of us as this has been a colossal team effort.”
Among the people for whom Bayley wanted to attend the ceremony, he wrote, is “my best friend who passed away who I do all of this for, who ‘Heat Waves’ was about, and who I get to share all these amazing moments with even though our time on Earth together ended too soon.”
Bayley concludes by writing that to prepare for the Grammys, he has “ordered room service and I am prepped with several bags of cheetos and gummy bear multivitamins.” He adds, “I am ready to kick the small point a** of COVID and cheer for all the amazing musicians and records being honored tonight…we will be there in spirit.”

It was a big night for Silk Sonic and Olivia Rodrigo Sunday at the 64th annual Grammy Awards.
Silk Sonic kicked off the show with an ultra seductive performance of “777,” which host Trevor Noah joked was enough to steal everyone’s girlfriends. Their night only got better from there, as the duo took home four awards: Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best R&B Song for “Leave The Door Open,” as well as tying with Jazmine Sullivan for Best R&B Performance.
Olivia, meanwhile, snagged three awards: Best Pop Solo Performance for “drivers license,” which she belted out on the Grammy stage, Best Pop Vocal Album for SOUR and Best New Artist. She emotionally declared upon picking up the latter, “This is my biggest dream come true!”
The most memorable moment probably came from Doja Cat, who sprinted from the bathroom to collect the Best Pop Duo / Group Performance award and hilariously — but breathlessly — thanked the Academy for recognizing her “Kiss Me More” collab with SZA, who was on crutches.
Lady Gaga earned praise for jumping out of her seat to help SZA up the stairs. Speaking of Gaga, she won Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for Love for Sale, her collaborative album with Tony Bennett. She also tearfully shouted out Bennett when performing “Love For Sale” and “Do I Love You,” saying she loves and misses him.
Lil Nas X turned heads with a medley of his hits — and multiple wardrobe changes — performing “Dead Right Now,” “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” and “Industry Baby” with Jack Harlow.
Other notable performances include BTS, where all seven members reunited on the Grammy stage to perform “Butter” after Jungkook tested positive for COVID-19 early last week. Billie Eilish also brought down the house with an incredible performance of “Happier Than Ever” and paid tribute to late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins by wearing a tee shirt with his face on it.

Backstage at the Grammys Sunday night in Las Vegas, artists answered questions from both reporters who were actually backstage at the MGM Grand Arena, and reporters who’d logged in on Zoom from around the country. But some of the night’s biggest winners didn’t appear backstage.
Olivia Rodrigo and Silk Sonic, both of whom won multiple awards Sunday night, posed for photos, but didn’t talk to reporters. Doja Cat, who won Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group for “Kiss Me More,” also declined to speak with reporters, but her duet partner, SZA, did come backstage, despite the fact that she was on crutches due to, as she put it, “falling out of bed” the day before.
“That’s the way it goes,” she laughed. “Everything awesome in my life has always come with something very random, but it just adds to the energy.”
SZA’s Grammy was her first win after 11 nominations, and R&B songstress Jazmine Sullivan and country duo Brothers Osborne were two other artists who finally won for the first time Sunday night after multiple nominations. Backstage, Sullivan, who actually won two trophies, said, “After losing so many times, I feel like I kinda gave up [hope of ever winning]…so it’s surreal to actually hold these babies!”
TJ Osborne of Brothers Osborne, who admitted that his mother “hates” that he dyed his hair blond, spoke about how “incredibly fulfilling” it’s been to perform for their fans since he came out as gay last year.
But country’s big winner was Chris Stapleton, who took home three trophies, including Best Country Album. Asked backstage who out there he’d like to collaborate with, Stapleton, who’s worked with Taylor Swift, Adele and Santana, among others, said he wouldn’t mind working with Harry Styles.
Country superstar Carrie Underwood won the Best Roots Gospel Album Grammy for her faith-based project My Savior and cried backstage as she spoke about how it “means the world” to her that she won because she’s wanted to make that kind of album “literally my whole career.”
H.E.R., who won the Best Traditional R&B Performance Grammy, was still buzzing from her performance with Lenny Kravitz on the show. “I was having so much fun…growing up, I’d literally study all his videos…he’s one of the reasons why I even wanted to play guitar, so having this full circle moment…I was at a loss for words.”
And The Late Show with Stephen Colbert bandleader Jon Batiste, who had the most Grammys going into the show, also cited Lenny Kravitz as HIS full circle moment: Kravitz announced that Batiste had won the Album of the Year for his project We Are. “We played together when I was 16, so it was surreal,” Batiste told reporters, adding, “Seeing Uncle Lenny up there, it was just like a whole vibe, like, ‘This is far out.'”
Foo Fighters swept the rock categories, but sadly, they didn’t attend due to the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins. St. Vincent won Best Alternative Album for Daddy’s Home and backstage, she mentioned how happy she was that Jack Antonoff, her co-producer on the album, had been named Producer of the Year.
She also spoke about how “times are changing” in terms of women in alternative rock, while rock legend Bonnie Raitt, who won the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, praised the new crop of young female artists, including Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo.
“Across all genres, I think women are kickin’ it,” said Raitt.

https://warm1069.com/grammys-2022-ukrainian-president-volodymyr-zelenskyy-delivers-powerful-video-message/
|
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a surprise appearance at the 64th Grammy Awards and sent a powerful message about the cost of freedom and the healing power of music.
In a pre-taped video, the president spoke from an unknown location in his country, which is being bombarded by Russian bombs in an unprecedented attack to seize control of the country. Zelenskyy remained poised and spoke with a stern, gravel-like tone about the cost of Russia’s ongoing war.
“The war. What’s more opposite to music? The silence of ruined cities and killed people. Our children draw swooping rockets, not shooting stars. Over 400 children have been injured and 153 children died and we’ll never see them drawing,” he said. “Our parents are happy to wake up in the morning. In bomb shelters. Alive.”
Zelenskyy urged, “The war doesn’t let us choose who survived and who stays in eternal silence.”
“Our musicians wear body armor instead of tuxedos. They sing to the wounded in hospitals. Even to those who can’t hear them, but the music will break through anyway,” he continued, noting Russia is bringing “horrible silence with its bombs. The dead silence.”
He urged those at the Grammy Awards to “fill the silence with your music” and to “tell our story” by sharing the “truth” of the Russian invasion “on your social networks, on TV — support us in any way you can.”
While naming the besieged cities of Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Volnovakha and Mariupol, Zelenskyy declared, “I have a dream of them living and free. Free like you on the Grammy stage.”
The Ukrainian president’s speech was followed by John Legend‘s performance of “Free.” He was joined by Ukrainian instrumentalist Siuzanna Iglidan and singer Mika Newton for the inspiring number.

|
Looks like fans just couldn’t get enough of Harry Styles‘ new single “As It Was” — following its release, it’s broken two major Spotify records.
“As It Was” became Spotify’s most-streamed song in the U.S. in a single day, with 8.3 million streams. The record was previously held by Olivia Rodrigo‘s “drivers license,” which had eight million streams when it was first released.
In addition, “As It Was” is now the most-streamed song globally in a single day so far this year, with 21.6 million streams.
“As It Was” is the first single from Harry’s new album Harry’s House, due out May 20. It’s available for pre-order now. The record will have a total of 13 tracks, including “As It Was.”
Harry will perform the track live for the first time ever during his headlining gig at Coachella Festival on April 15 and 22.

|
6 in 10 people are leaving their jobs because they aren’t animal friendly.
Pets are apparently a major reason for “The Great Resignation.” People are actually quitting their jobs to spend more time with their pets, according to a new survey. Over two-thirds of pet owners have searched for a more flexible job to devote more time to their furry pals.
The recent poll of 2,000 employed pet owners found that 71 percent have made a significant life change because of their pet.
Six in 10 have previously left a job because they were forced to return to an office that wasn’t pet-friendly.
Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Vetster ahead of National Pet Day on April 11, the survey also found that seven in 10 are willing to accept a pay cut if it means they can bring their pet to work.
The past two years have been “ruff” for many, with 71 percent saying they’d benefit more from a pet-friendly office now than they would have before the pandemic.
Forty-eight percent add that their pets have improved their productivity at work, including more than half of both cat and dog owners (56% and 53%, respectively). Pet rodents broke the ice in meetings more often than other pets (69%), while small animals like rabbits and ferrets were more likely to inspire their pet parents and boost their productivity (65%).
Overall, more than two-thirds credited new friendships at work on their furry pal’s presence, with the average person gaining seven new workplace buddies. People’s pets have also transformed their workdays, with cats (56%) and dogs (54%) both giving their humans a sense of comfort.
Many workplaces are responding to pet parents’ needs — 42 percent report that their offices stock pet supplies such as bowls and poop bags.

American Idol turns 20 this year and it plans to pull out all the stops to celebrate.
Deadline reports the series is putting together The Great Idol Reunion, airing May 2, which welcomes back some of the best-known American Idol alumni in show history.
Among those heading back to the Idol stage are Ruben Studdard, Jordin Sparks, Scotty McCreery, David Cook, Lauren Alaina, Kris Allen and many others. A few details of the reunion have been shared, including a special duet between season two winner Ruben Studdard and season six winner Jordin Sparks. Cook, who won season seven, will be paired with season eight winner Kris Allen.
Idol executive producer and show runner Megan Michaels Wolflick said of the upcoming event, “It’s a testament to this show’s incredible legacy that we are able to celebrate 20 years of American Idol in this extraordinary way. We are so thrilled to welcome back some of our most beloved alumni from over the years to reunite on the Idol stage.”
Season 10’s respective winner and runner up, McCreery and Alaina, will also sing together.
Wolflick also saluted Idol’s ability to “create superstars just as it has done since 2002,” adding, “Bringing back these Idol Icons is the perfect way to herald the next generation.”

Bruno Mars made Grammy Awards history on Sunday night, becoming the second artist of all time to become a three-time Record of the Year winner. He’s not the only person who broke records over the weekend, however.
Starting with Bruno, though, Billboard reports he collected Record of the Year awards for “24K Magic,” “Uptown Funk!” and for Silk Sonic‘s “Leave the Door Open.” If you’re curious who beat Bruno to the milestone, that was Paul Simon, who became the first triple winner 35 years ago.
But that’s not Bruno’s only notable accomplishment. “Leave the Door Open” is now the third track in Grammy history to win both Song of the Year and best R&B song — the last being Alicia Keys‘ “Fallin'” and Bruno’s own “That’s What I Like.”
Olivia Rodrigo also had a fantastic night Sunday. She’s now the third-youngest-artist to win Best New Artist — bumping Christina Aguilera from the spot, who was one month older when she won in 2000. Billie Eilish beats Olivia by a year, while the youngest artist to collect the award is LeAnn Rimes, who was 14 when she won in 1997.
Olivia also broke a Grammy — literally. Just like her mentor, Taylor Swift, one of her awards slipped from her arms as she posed with her three trophies. Taylor did the exact same thing in 2010 and both ladies had the same hilarious, wide-eyed reaction.
Speaking of Taylor, collaborator Jack Antonoff is now the first former Best New Artist to win Producer of the Year.
Also making Grammy history was Lady Gaga‘s Love for Sale collaborator, 95-year-old Tony Bennett, who’s now the second-oldest Grammy winner. Love for Sale won Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album, now his 14th overall win in the category.

https://warm1069.com/camila-cabello-gets-candid-about-body-insecurity-ive-never-had-a-worse-time-at-the-beach/
|
Camila Cabello is speaking out about body insecurity.
In an Instagram post she shared over the weekend, Cabello included an essay about how she feels when she steps out in public in a bikini knowing her photo will be taken by paparazzi.
“Every time I’ve gone to this beach club in Miami I get papped — somehow when I check in paps know and get me in my bikini and every time I’ve felt super vulnerable and unprepared,” Cabello wrote. “I’ve worn bikinis that were to[o] small and paid no mind to how I looked, then saw pictures online and comments and been so upset.”
The singer went on, “I reminded myself when it impacted my self esteem that I was thinking the culture’s thoughts and not my own. A culture who has gotten so used to an image of what a ‘healthy’ woman’s body looks like that is completely not real for a lot of women.”
Cabello, who is in the middle of doing press for her new album Familia, which will be released later this week, said on Saturday that when she went to the beach she “held my core so tight my abs hurt” and was “self conscious of where the paps were the whole time.”
The “Bam Bam” singer said the whole situation made her feel sad. “I’ve never had a worse time at the beach,” she said. “I felt the emptiness and sadness of our culture’s thoughts that became my thoughts.”
Cabello has been open about her body image in the past. Following paparazzi photos that were taken last year of her in workout clothes, the singer shared a candid message to fans about overcoming the pressure of beauty standards and being at peace with one’s body.

|
Well, that didn’t go as planned.
Madonna apparently wanted to post a cheeky video to her fans on TikTok and wore a sheer top as she filmed herself leaning in close to the camera set to the latest remix of her track “Frozen.” She then blows an air kiss with her overlarge, pink lips, making an audible smack before slowly leaning back into her seat.
Madonna’s blank expression doesn’t change throughout the video.
Unfortunately, fans weren’t feeling the love and some made it clear the 13-second clip made them recoil. Many took to the comments to ask variations of “are you okay,” while others were more vocal about their feelings, with one revealing, “This honestly scared me I’m not gonna lie.” Another declared, “STAY BACK STAY BACK I SAY” along with four fencing emojis.
Others defended Madonna, saying those calling her video “unsettling” are probably kids who don’t eve know who Madonna is. Another group took to the comments to remind everyone to be nice.

https://warm1069.com/michael-buble-says-he-was-ready-to-quit-music-after-son-was-diagnosed-with-liver-cancer/
|
Michael Bublé admits he was ready to walk away from his music career in 2016 when his young son, Noah, was diagnosed with liver cancer. Noah has been in remission since 2017, but Michael revealed what was stolen from him during that scary time.
“I didn’t think I’d ever perform again. Never,” Michael told the U.K.’s The Telegraph. It wasn’t even on my radar.”
Michael said he was so affected by his son’s diagnosis, “I wasn’t even singing in the shower” because he poured all his energy into “taking care of my family and protecting my mental health.”
Following the good news that Noah beat liver cancer, Michael said it took him a long time to recover mentally and emotionally from that dark period in his life. He was encouraged to return to music and, in 2018, released Love.
“I limped back on that last record,” the Canadian singer confessed. “There was no way I was ready. I was still a wreck.”
Michael explained how deeply he was affected when recalling a moment in July 2018 when the pressure became too much. He had finished performing at London’s Hyde Park and admits he “was a mess” once he walked off stage. “I always felt like I was Teflon, there was never a moment that could get the better of me. I was a centered, focused machine on stage,” he explained. “For the first time in my whole career, I couldn’t hide emotionally. But it was beautiful. I realized I didn’t have that protective mechanism any more. And I felt free.”
Michael is glad he continued his singing, calling his career “a privilege” and “a joy.”
His new album, Higher, is out now.

Ed Sheeran‘s “Bad Habits” scored a billion views on Spotify, becoming his 10th song to do so. “I want to say thank you so much to everyone who’s streaming all these songs. I’m super, super grateful and I’m glad you like them,” he gushed when sharing the good news on TikTok.
Sam Smith is reportedly working on new music with an “anthemic, dancey feel,” reports The Sun. An insider claimed Sam has a new song called “Love Me More,” that is due out soon. “Sam is super excited to be making a long-awaited comeback and feels the time is ripe,” the source added.

https://warm1069.com/pink-calls-rolling-stone-irrelevant-after-mag-posts-greatest-grammy-performances-of-all-time-list/
|
Safe to say Pink isn’t a fan of Rolling Stone. The “So What” singer tore into the magazine for posting what it judged are the 25 best performances in Grammy history.
Pink was not included in the list despite performing at the Grammys numerous times.
After the magazine posted the feature on Instagram Sunday, she responded in the comments with a forcefully worded roast.
“Bahahahaha you guys have been irrelevant since 1990,” the Grammy winner quipped at the start of the scathing, since-deleted takedown in the comments.
Pink’s post doesn’t take issue with any of the performances included on the list — Kendrick Lamar‘s 2016 performance of “The Blacker The Berry/Alright” tops it — but apparently the idea of rating the performances, period.
“This is the magazine that used to feature people like John Lennon and Muddy Waters. Hunter S Thompson wrote political pieces – they put Tina Turner on their cover. Then they sold out and all credibility went to s*** when ‘style over substance’ and ‘revenue over authenticity’ went into play,” she lambasted. “That’s when Snooki became acceptable coverage. Give me a f***ing break. Do your homework.”
Pink wasn’t done, writing, “You don’t have to like me or my music or anything about me – and believe me I could give a s*** – but this is the biggest sellout in f***ing history when it comes to a publication we all once trusted.”
Pink ended her post with “I’ve felt that way for decades – as so many of my favorite artists and my peers have. This isn’t just about their horrendous opinion of ‘rating Grammy performances’. It’s decades of wasting Trees and people’s time.”
Though the comment was deleted, Pink’s fans and others grabbed and posted screenshots online.
Rolling Stone has yet to respond to Pink’s opinion.

Shawn Mendes provided a glimpse of how he’s healing from his breakup from girlfriend Camila Cabello and says he is learning to “trust people” again.
Speaking to SiriusXM, the Grammy winner shared advice on how someone can heal a broken heart and return to life without needing their other half.
Shawn said he is moving on by “giving myself a lot of grace and not being too hard on myself about the feelings and the spikes of ‘I’m good’ and spikes of ‘I’m not good.'” He continued, “A big one for me was realizing that there’s so many people in my life that I can rely on.”
“I don’t just have to put all of my hardship onto one person,” Shawn said, adding it was “a huge thing” for him. “It was learning how to trust my friends again. Learning how to trust my family. Learning how to trust people around me in my life instead of just calling one person — I had, now, six people I could call.”
Shawn said he also had to take a “lot of deep breaths and telling myself, ‘You’re good, man,'” so he could “be a stabilizing force for myself.”
The “It’ll Be Okay” singer said one needs to combine both of these practices when overcoming a broken heart, warning, “You can’t just isolate yourself and be like, ‘I’m gonna deal with this on my own’ because that’ll eventually come back around and get you.”
Shawn and Camila dated for two years before announcing in November that they were going their separate ways. Both have since issued songs believed to be about their breakup.

Our country is, again, divided.
This time over Will Smith and Chris Rock. Listen as Laurie Hardie, Claire and Anna D dissect, pull apart and psychoanalyze the SLAP heard around the world. Keep in mind, this episode was recorded on 3/31, the day before Will announced his resignation from the Oscars academy on 4/1. It’s no April Fools. This is real. Our biggest take away is the realization that Ye now might be a safer bet than Will when the Academy sends out invites….or not.

|
The Weeknd wasn’t at the Grammy Awards Sunday night, following last year’s controversy when his smash hit album After Hours failed to snag a single nod. Instead, he took to Twitter and ignored music’s biggest night.
To recap why the Weeknd paid the Grammys no mind on Sunday, rumors claim the Recording Academy gave him an ultimatum last year: perform at the Super Bowl Halftime show or the Grammy Awards, not both.
The Weekend chose the Super Bowl and when After Hours was famously snubbed, that sparked rumors the Academy did so out of spite. Following the controversy, The Weeknd vowed to never submit any of his work for consideration and called for a boycott of the Grammy Awards.
The singer kept his word and, instead of celebrating Sunday night’s winners, spent the day interacting with his fans on Twitter and promoting his upcoming “Out of Time” music video. He, his birth name Abel Tesfaye and his songs soon became trending topics.
“Wow what a day … today belongs to us,” The Weekend tweeted in celebration.
Because Abel was trending, the singer jokingly mulled over ditching his stage name. “Maybe pull a YE and just legally change my name to ABEL. no last name. Like Madonna or Cher or Prince. I don’t know it seems like a lot,” he proposed, which caused fans to beg him to release an album titled Abel.
The Weeknd also floated the idea of going as the artist “[formerly] known as The Weeknd,” responding to a reply by John Legend that “ABEL is dope” by saying he’s “tempted” by the idea.
Ironically, The Weeknd did pick up a Grammy Sunday, thanks to YE: Their “Hurricane” collab won Best Melodic Rap Performance.

American Idol‘s season 20 Top 24 has been revealed!
But first, after an intense Hollywood week, it was time for yet another challenge that saw the remaining contestants tasked with delivering a show stopping performance for judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie. The kicker — for the first time ever, the contestants would do this in front of a live audience.
The talented singers didn’t make it easy for the judges either. Contestants Ava Maybee and Yoli Mayor had the judges so torn that they competed in the first-ever on the spot sing-off, which saw Ava secure her spot in the Top 24. The same happened with country singers Dan Marshall and Dakota Hayden, with the judges choosing Dan, 24, over Dakota, 17, largely due to his age.
Next week, the Top 24 heads to Disney’s Aulani Resort in Hawaii, and Bebe Rexha and Jimmie Allen will also join as mentors for the two-night event.
America will take over and begin voting to determine who will be the next American Idol.

https://warm1069.com/backstreet-boy-nick-carter-says-new-solo-song-easy-is-about-the-simple-parts-of-life-that-you-dont-want-to-ever-forget/
|
The Backstreet Boys are relaunching their DNA tour this Friday in Las Vegas, but ahead of that, Nick Carter has dropped a solo single, “Easy,” featuring country star Jimmie Allen. The song definitely has a country vibe, and Nick says that’s no surprise, given his background.
“I actually grew up listening to country music,” Nick tells ABC Audio, adding, “You could actually probably find some old footage of me singing some Alan Jackson songs during my auditions.” And of course, with their pals Florida Georgia Line, Nick and The Backstreet Boys scored a #1 country single in 2017 with “God, Your Mama and Me.” But beyond that, Nick feels that country music has some attributes that other musical genres don’t these days.
“I feel like country now…is where lyrics and stories and melodies and the singer-songwriter stories still exist,” he explains. Plus, he enjoyed collaborating with Jimmie — like Nick, a former Dancing with the Stars contestant — calling him “one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.”
As for “Easy” itself, the father of three says, “I wanted to write a song about how I’m living right now, what’s most important, which is my kids, my wife, you know, the simple things…you know, making breakfast, taking them to school, you know, the moments…that you don’t want to ever forget.” You can see Nick’s adorable kids in the song’s video.
As for whether “Easy” will lead to a solo country album, Nick says, “Listen, if people gravitate towards it and they resonate with it and they want more. I’d definitely be comfortable [with] exploring that avenue more.”
He adds, “I’m definitely kind of hitting my stride as far as writing and I’m loving the direction that it’s heading in, so it’s making a lot of sense to me.”

https://warm1069.com/hailey-bieber-shuts-down-pregnancy-rumors-over-her-grammys-dress-leave-me-alone/
|
It only took six words for Hailey Bieber to shut down the latest round of pregnancy rumors, and she’s letting people know she is fed up with the constant speculation.
Hailey turned heads at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards when she opted to wear a flowing white Saint Laurent dress to the event. Unfortunately, some fans took that as a sign that there was a big reason why the model wasn’t styling a form-fitting dress.
Soon after, Radar Online claimed fans “are convinced” that she’s pregnant. Once Hailey caught wind of the report, she set people straight, adding the comment, “”I’m not pregnant leave me alone.”
Fans of Hailey and husband Justin Bieber began flooding the article with similar comments and demanding the outlet “respect” Hailey’s privacy.
Both Hailey and Justin has been outspoken about wanting to start a family, which has only fueled pregnancy rumors that have popped up since they tied the knot in 2018.
Interestingly enough, the Justin/Hailey speculation comes shortly after Jessie J begged fans on her Instagram story to stop asking women if they’re pregnant. The “Domino” singer said such comments aren’t just unwanted, they’re out of line.
“It’s not cool to just say or comment on anyone’s body. Unless they [or] I tell you or ask your opinion, it’s not one that’s needed or helpful,” Jesse said Friday. “Wild that some people don’t know that.”

|
The Weeknd‘s “Out of Time” music video is finally here and it features a surprise cameo from comedian Jim Carrey, who narrated Dawn FM.
The music starts off with The Weeknd meeting a potential love interest on an elevator, and the two continue bumping into each other until they sing one of his songs at karaoke. The two steal the karaoke machine and continue goofing off around in the hotel at which they’re both staying.
Then things take a weird turn. Blood starts pooling at their dinner table and the camera blurs, flickering between scenes at the hotel and a sterile operating room.
As the song fades, Carrey ominously narrates, “Don’t you dare touch that dial because, like the song says, you are out of time. You’re almost there, but don’t panic. There’s still more music to come before you’re completely engulfed in the blissful embrace of that little light you see in the distance. Soon you’ll be healed, forgiven and refreshed. Free from all trauma, pain, guilt and shame. You may even forget your own name. But before you dwell in that house forever, here’s thirty minutes of easy listening to some slow tracks on 103.5 Dawn FM.”
While that narration is going on, we see a cameo of the elderly version of The Weeknd on a gurney and Carrey, as a seemingly unhinged doctor, putting a mask over his face and inspecting his work.

Laundry is super tedious – not only is washing clothes time-consuming but folding and putting them away!! Laundry is something almost everyone puts off as much as possible.
Well, turns out you won’t spend too long folding your clothes next time because a home expert has revealed how she does it in three seconds.
Taking to social media, Carolina Mccauley shared her special folding technique to get it done in a jiffy.
According to her video, the first thing you need to do is lay your t-shirt flat on a hard surface.
Next, imagine there’s a horizontal line down the middle and grab a hold of the neckline and middle of the shirt.
You’ll then grab a hold of the bottom edge of the shirt with the same hand that’s holding the neck and pinch them together.
Lift it up, shake it off, and lay it back down, finishing the fold.
Lot’s of “pinching” involved.
And that’s it! You’ll have a neatly folded shirt in just a few seconds.
One person commented on her video, saying: “What kind of witchcraft is this?”
And a another said: “I did it! Thanks!”

The DNA World Tour is in support of Backstreet Boys’ 10th studio album, DNA, which dropped in 2019 and features the hit song “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.” Unfortunately, the boys had to pump the brakes on their tour plans because of the ongoing pandemic, but they’re now ready to hit the gas on their biggest arena tour in nearly 20 years.

|
Camila Cabello is gearing up for her “immersive” TikTok Live concert on Thursday, where she will preview her upcoming Familia album — and she’s teasing fans with a sneak peek of what’s to come.
“Maybe I’m an alien.. earth is hard. Make sure you’re ready,” Camila cryptically wrote Tuesday when sharing stills of her upcoming show.
The first image shows the Grammy nominee in a neon cat suit and heels as she climbs into a pair of ruby red lips reminiscent of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Other stills show off her backup dancers, who are dressed in black and white bodysuits, only leaving their eyes and hair exposed.
There’s also a clip that teases the kind of stage Camila is working with for her live show. She opted for a black and white animated motif, which spreads from where she stands to the backdrop behind her, which allows for some pretty intense illusions to take place.
The “Havana” singer announced the upcoming event last month and revealed she will be using XR, or Extended Reality, technology to create a “fantastical trip through the artist’s mind.” The concert will further dazzle onlookers with costume changes and immersive visual effects.
To experience the concert, tune in to Camila’s TikTok page on April 7 at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET. The live show will be followed by three rebroadcasts — one on April 8 and two on April 9.

Kelly Clarkson broke into the limelight in 2002 when she became the first winner of American Idol. And Vanessa Hudgens says Kelly’s Idol journey is what inspired her own career.
Appearing Tuesday on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Vanessa revealed she wanted to follow in the “Breakaway” singer’s footsteps and compete on American Idol, to be just like her. She said she “grew up doing theater” and acting has “always been a passion of mine” — just like Kelly — so she committed to being on Idol. But life had other plans when she was ready to try out.
“That next week I got an audition for High School Musical and booked it. So then I was like, ‘Never mind,'” she laughed. “But I was like, ‘I’m doing it.’ And you were the catalyst.”
Kelly and Vanessa then bonded over the audition process, with Kelly disclosing, “People don’t know that, but there were many auditions before you even got to the TV part.”
As for the Princess Switch star, she “remember[s] all the auditions” she had to go through to play Gabriella Montez on High School Musical. Noting that the the hit Disney Channel movie turns 16 this year, Vanessa says, “It’s wild, the time just keeps flying.”
Marveling on American Idol turning 20, Kelly agreed it “feels weird” that the show is celebrating its platinum anniversary this year, because she was “so young” when it became a part of her life.

When Josh Groban launched his New York residency at Radio City Music Hall on February 14, 2020, he had a few special guests joining him, including sexuality expert Dr. Ruth Westheimer, of all people. The pandemic subsequently put future shows on hold, but he’s finally resuming the residency on Thursday — with even more special guests.
People reports that celebrities who’ll be joining Josh onstage for his Great Big Radio City Show performances on April 7, 8 and 8 include Cyndi Lauper, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star Rachel Brosnahan, The Gilded Age star Denée Benton, the hip hop musical comedy group Freestyle Love Supreme — co-founded by Lin-Manuel Miranda — and more.
Josh has connections with these folks, of course: Brosnahan stars in an original scripted series from Audible called The Miranda Obsession, in which Josh also appears, while Benton was Josh’s co-star in the Broadway musical Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812. Josh has also appeared as a guest with Freestyle Love Supreme, and performed at Cyndi’s annual New York City holiday benefit concert.
“I’m so grateful to have the gift of performing at the iconic Radio City Music Hall for a whole series of evenings to craft a show unlike anything I’ve ever done before,” Josh tells People. “I’ve asked some friends and fellow artists to join me and I’m humbled by the amazing people who’ve said yes.”
He adds, “The show will have plenty of music but also quite a few laughs and surprises and some really unique collaborations that could only happen on a New York stage. I can’t wait to be together with an audience again in one of the greatest venues of the world.”
Tickets for the shows are now available.

|
Madonna only started getting tattoos in the last couple of years but now she has quite a few, including an “X” for her Madame X album, and the initials of her six children. Now, she’s gotten inked again…as a tribute to her late mother.
The Queen of Pop posted video of herself getting the French word “maman,” which means “mom,” on her wrist. As the tattoo artist works on the design, he wipes away blood. “I’m doing this for my mother,” Madonna explains. “‘Cause when you give birth, what do you do? You bleed. It’s all connected.”
Madonna’s mother, Madonna Louise Fortin Ciccone, died of breast cancer in December of 1963, when the future superstar was five years old. In the video, Madonna explains to her son David that she chose the word “maman” because, she notes, “I can’t put my mother’s name because it’s the same as mine. I would look like I put my own damn name on my arm!”
Showing off the finished project, Madonna says, “My mother bled for me, and so I’m bleeding for her. It’s a family affair.”

I am full of energy and I love to play! I tend to calm down more when the people around me stay calm. I do best when I have lots of exercise and something to keep my mind busy. My caregivers have noticed that I seem to do well with some other dogs – females only. When meeting dogs in a new home, I would do best with a slow introduction. Because of my shy nature, I would do best in a calm, quiet home with adults only.

Pizza and eggs are colliding in an unexpected way on TikTok.
Creative foodies have been combining the two together long enough that the hashtag #pizzaeggs has trended enough to rack up more than 1.9 million views on the video-sharing app.
Some of the viral recipe videos on the app stick to eggs and popular pizza toppings like a traditional omelet while others involve actual leftover pizza slices and scrambled eggs.
Content creator Elyse Myers, who has the highest viewed pizza eggs video on TikTok so far, makes her recipe with butter, pre-cooked chicken, pepperoni slices, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, eggs and cheese.
“This was an original recipe that came from me trying to eat up all the leftovers in the fridge, “It kind of evolved over time and then we just ate it so much, we gave it the name ‘pizza eggs.’”
She added, “The taste is kind of like eating a spicy sausage, egg and cheese scramble.”

https://warm1069.com/camila-cabello-explains-why-familia-will-feel-different-than-her-other-albums/
|
Camila Cabello is ready to re-introduce herself to fans on Friday with her new album, Familia. The “Bam Bam” singer revealed why this album feels like a fresh start for her.
“I feel like a lot of people have told me, ‘This feels different than your other albums,'” she told Entertainment Tonight in a new interview. “That it feels more grounded. It feels more honest.”
Familia is Camila’s first album since her breakup with Shawn Mendes, whom she dated for two years. To help her heal from the heartbreak, the Grammy winner said she turned to her music for comfort.
“For me, my process is really cathartic,” she said of recording Familia. “It’s me kind of singing anything that I think about and feel into a microphone. I do, like, seven takes of that. I do that for, like, 25 minutes, and then me and my collaborators talk about it. Then we are like, ‘Oh, you said this, that was really cool.’ We brainstorm, we fill it in and then that becomes a song.”
Camila said “there was no barrier of pressure, of anxiety” when making her new album. “It was very unfiltered,” she noted, adding, “[I]t was literally what I was feeling that day. And I think that comes through in the music.”
“Bam Bam,” she revealed, was inspired by the vicious “cycle” of being “on the ground crying on the bathroom floor and then you’ll have feelings for another person again, and you’ll be crying on the bathroom floor again.”
Familia drops Friday.

|
Ed Sheeran and his collaborators have won their copyright case over Ed’s smash hit, “Shape of You.”
As Music Week reports, the judge ruled that Ed, Johnny McDaid and Steve Mac did not plagiarize the song “Oh Why,” by Sami Chokri, who records under the name Sami Switch, while writing their number-one hit. Following an 11-day trial, Judge Antony Zacaroli ruled that Sheeran had “neither deliberately nor subconsciously copied” Chokri’s song.
Zacaroli added that any similarities between the two were “only a starting point for a possible infringement” of copyright. Ed told the court that he’d never heard “Oh Well” until the trial.
According to Music Week, Ed’s lawyers said in a statement, “The judgement is an emphatic vindication of the creative genius of Ed, Johnny and Steve.”
Ed, Johnny and Steve issued their own lengthy statement, in which they spoke of the “cost” of the lawsuits, noting, “There is a cost on creativity. When we are tangled up in lawsuits, we are not making music or playing shows. There is a cost on our mental health. The stress this causes on all sides is immense…It is so painful to hear someone publicly, and aggressively, challenge your integrity.”
They conclude, “Our message to songwriters everywhere is: Please support each other. Be kind to one another. Let’s continue to cultivate a spirit of community and creativity.”
Ed additionally posted a video statement online, pointing out in part that with only “12 notes available…and very few chords used in pop music, coincidence is bound to happen.”
He continued, “I hope with this ruling, it means in the future baseless claims like this can be avoided…Hopefully, we can all get back to writing songs rather than having to prove that we can write them.”

https://warm1069.com/the-mbcu-how-michael-buble-created-his-own-cinematic-universe-with-video-for-ill-never-not-love-you/
|
Michael Bublé‘s video for “I’ll Never Not Love You” has Michael and his wife Luisana recreating scenes from romantic films like Casablanca, Titanic, Jerry Maguire, Love Actually and The Notebook. But Michael says he initially had some very different movies in mind.
“At first, the films I came up with were…like, Star Wars and Spider-Man and all these sort of sci-fi things,” he tells ABC Audio. But he was afraid that if he did that, people would think it was a satire.
“It’s just really a beautiful and, in ways, a sad, almost a morose song,” he explains. “So I wanted to make sure that I had these moments that could reflect that.”
After recruiting Luisana to co-star, Michael realized he could make the video a sequel to 2009’s “Haven’t Met You Yet,” because she was in that video, too.
“The second she said yes, I started to think about ‘Haven’t Met You Yet,’ and what we’d done,” he explains. “And…I thought, ‘Y’know what? Why can’t I go through these films and why can’t I get to the end and wake up, and realize this is all part of the cinematic universe of our love story?'”
That led to the idea of the couple using the clip to reveal that they’re expecting their fourth child.
Michael says, “We knew we were pregnant, so we said, ‘Why don’t we put that as the Easter egg in the video? We won’t even say anything. We’re just going to have it there, and people will either discover it or not.”
Unfortunately, TMZ “discovered” it first.
“Somehow, TMZ found out before we released the video,” Michael groans. “So at this point, I just check TMZ every day to see if I’m dead or not. ‘Cause I have a feeling they’re going to find out before I do!”

Record Store Day is all about supporting independent record stores, and Taylor Swift, this year’s Record Store Day Global Ambassador, has done more than most to achieve that goal — which is why one of the nation’s most famous indie record stores is saluting her in a special way.
Grimey’s New and Preloved Music in Nashville, Tennessee enlisted artist Kim Radford to paint a mural of Taylor’s Record Store Day Ambassador promo shot on the store’s outside wall. Why Grimey’s? Because during the early days of the pandemic, Taylor covered the paychecks and health benefits for the store’s employees so it wouldn’t have to close down.
“I loved meeting her fans while I painted this piece at @grimeys and shar[ing] about her unmatched generosity,” Radford wrote on Instagram.
As Radford notes, in the photo — and the mural — Taylor is surrounded by 15 stars, marking the 15th anniversary of Record Store Day, but 13 of them are purple, in a nod to Taylor’s lucky number, 13, and her favorite color.
The official Record Store Day Account responded in the comments, “Thanks for helping us celebrate our Ambassador and our 15th year! It’s GLORIOUS!!“
This year’s Record Store Day, which sees independent record stores nationwide offer exclusive vinyl releases by hundreds of artists, takes place on April 23.

Olivia Rodrigo just kicked off her sold out Sour world tour and threw it back to 2002 on opening night by belting out Avril Lavigne‘s “Complicated.”
NME reports the Grammy winner performed at Portland, Oregon’s Theater of the Clouds on Tuesday night and slipped the throwback tune into her 12-song set.
“Complicated” was the fourth song on Olivia’s set list, coming after “drivers license” and before an acoustic cover of “hope ur ok.”
Fans recorded the surprise covers, of course, and snippets of Tuesday night’s concert are already circulating online. According to one fan, Olivia introduced the track by telling the crowd, “This next song is a song I really love by the pop punk princess herself — Avril Lavigne!”
As previously reported, Olivia’s sold-out 40-date North American tour will take her across major cities in the U.S. and Canada — such as New York City, Las Vegas and Toronto — before concluding in Los Angeles on May 25, 2022. Olivia will then head across the pond for a brief European leg, starting with a show on June 11 in Hamburg, Germany.
The Sour tour concludes July 7, 2022 in London, England.

Rihanna says her pregnancy allowed her to see her mother in a new light and appreciate her like never before.
Taking to Instagram, the “Umbrella” singer shared a throwback photo of her and her mother, Monica Braithwaite, dressed in white at what appears to be a church.
“Today is my Queen’s birthday,” Rihanna wrote in the caption. “Being on the verge of motherhood, unlocked new levels of love and respect I have for my mommy in a way that I could never explain!”
“She’s the true MVP and I wanna give her her flowers every second I can! Love you mumzzzz!!!,” Rihanna continued. “Happy Birthday! We gon celebrate on da link up!”
Rihanna is expecting her first child with boyfriend A$AP Rocky and recently revealed she is in her third trimester. She has yet to reveal the due date, or the name or gender of her unborn child.
In other news, the Fenty Beauty mogul was just named on Forbes’ billionaires list for the first time, ranking 1,729 on the list with an estimated personal worth of $1.7 billion, thanks in large part to her cosmetics line.

|
Following the tragic 2016 death of Eagles co-founder Glenn Frey, his son Deacon stepped into his father’s footsteps, playing guitar and singing with them during live performances. But after several years of being the “New Kid in Town,” Deacon is “Already Gone.”
In a Facebook post, Eagles co-founder Don Henley writes, “Deacon Frey has devoted the past 4½ years to carrying on his father’s legacy and, after some weeks of reflection, he now feels that it is time for him to forge his own path. We understand, completely, and we support him in whatever he wishes to pursue in the years ahead.”
Henley continues, “In the wake of his dad’s demise, Deacon, at age 24, did an extraordinary thing by stepping from relative anonymity into the very public world of his father’s long illustrious career. We are grateful to Deacon for his admirable efforts and we wish him well as he charts his future.”
“Deacon’s Eagles Family will always be here to surround him with love, support and goodwill, and he is always welcome to join us onstage at any future concerts, if he so desires,” Henley concludes. “We hope our fans will join us in wishing Deacon the very best as he moves into the next phase of his career.”
No word yet on whether Deacon will be replaced. The Eagles will kick off the next leg of their tour April 19.
In 2017, Henley said of the younger Frey, “It’s extraordinary what that young man has done…his first gig with us was at Dodger Stadium. He had done some gigs with his father — private parties, clubs, in front of maybe 200 people. To go from that to 55,000 people is extraordinary. I don’t know many people who could have done that without freaking out.”

|
The Backstreet Boys are launching their DNA tour Friday in Las Vegas, so they appeared on Wednesday’s Kelly Clarkson Show to talk about it — and to sing, of course.
The five members of the group split up to participate in a game of “Throw Me a Line,” in which the object was to identify the boy band song by the lyric. AJ, Kevin and Brian played against Howie, Nick and Kelly, and at first, AJ, Kevin and Brian were ahead, correctly identifying Boyz II Men‘s “I’ll Make Love to You,” and singing it, as well.
Then Nick, Howie and Kelly identified *NSYNC‘s “Bye Bye Bye.” But then AJ, Kevin and Brian broke the tie by buzzing in as soon as they heard the host read the lyric, “All you people.”
Of course, it was Backstreet’s own “Larger Than Life,” which they then proceeded to sing. “It’s a shame we’re going back on tour — y’all don’t know the words?” AJ teased.
Kelly was surprised they were able to identify the song that quickly, to which Brian replied, “I WROTE that one!”
Discussing the tour, AJ joked, “Our kids were so happy that we were home for the past two years, but our wives were like, ‘You HAVE to go back to work. PLEASE go back to work!'”
Kelly also treated the audience to a “Kellyoke” performance of Backstreet’s “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely.”

|
Camila Cabello has never been one to hold back, and she definitely doesn’t in a new interview with U.K.’s Hits Radio.
In a round of “Answering the Internet,” Camila responds to random questions or comments that people have asked about her or made about her on Twitter. Asked to name the most surreal place she’s been recognized, Camila admits, “I think there was a picture of me at a sex toy shop once, and I was just, like, getting a vibrator.”
She laughs, “There was a picture, and I was like, ‘That’s a weird place for people to be like, ‘Is that the singer?'”
When another fan asks her about her notorious “nip slip” on BBC’s The One Show — in which she briefly exposed her breast while showing off her favorite dance move — Camila replied, “I really don’t care about my nip slip…I’ve purposely nip-slipped before. Publicly! Have you ever been topless, ladies, in the ocean? It feels amazing and I hate that they deprive us of that!”
Asked to name the first thing she does in the morning, Camila says bluntly, “On a day when I’m not working and I can sleep late…I’ll just get up and pee.”
Finally, asked what she and her pals Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift talk about when they’re hanging out, Camila laughed, “We’ve hung out together, like, two times and we were all very drunk. I don’t remember what we talked about!”

I just want to say I’m not an entity, I’m not a corporation: I’m a human being, I’m a father, I’m a husband, I’m a son.
“Hey guys. Me, Jonny, and Steve have made a joint statement that will be press released on the outcome of this case, but I wanted to make a small video to talk about it a bit because I’ve not really been able to say anything whilst it’s been going on.
While we’re obviously happy with the result, I feel like claims like this are way too common now and have become a culture where a claim is made with the idea that a settlement would be cheaper than taking it to court, even if there’s no base to the claim, is really damaging to the songwriting industry. There’s only so many notes and very few cords used in pop music. Coincidence is bound to happen if 60,000 songs are being released every day on Spotify. That’s 22 million songs a year and there’s only 12 notes that are available.
I don’t want take anything away from the pain and hurt suffered from both sides of this case, but I just want to say I’m not an entity, I’m not a corporation: I’m a human being, I’m a father, I’m a husband, I’m a son. Lawsuits are not a pleasant experience and I hope with this ruling, it means in the future, baseless claims like this can be avoided. This really does have to end.
Me, Johnny, and Steve are very grateful for all the support sent to us by fellow songwriters over the last few weeks. Hopefully we can all get back to writing songs rather than having to prove that we can write them. Thank you.”

The Weeknd is heading to Coachella with his “Moth to a Flame” collaborators Swedish House Mafia, taking over for Kanye West, who bowed out on Monday. The music festival unveiled its new lineup Wednesday. The Weeknd will take over the Sunday night performances on April 17 and 24. Harry Styles is also a headliner.
Gwen Stefani says she is “so into” her marriage with Blake Shelton, telling Ellen DeGeneres on her show, “He’s my best friend. He’s so much fun.” She explained Blake wasn’t at the taping because he’s “literally on the tractor right now turning dirt for me.” The “Sweet Escape” singer revealed she’s “planting seeds” in her garden soon, which includes daffodils, tulips, zinnias, wildflowers and more.
Taylor Swift‘s fans want so badly to see her speak and earn her doctorate from New York University, they’re bribing NYU students for their graduation tickets. The student-run blog, The Click, claims some fans are saying they’ll pay $500 a pop. NYU has now barred the sale of graduation tickets, saying students caught breaking the rules will face disciplinary measures, including “delayed issuance of a degree or diploma.”
Speaking of Taylor, pal Camila Cabello called her an “emo queen.” Camila revealed to U.K.’s Hits Radio the artists that took over her playlist, saying she loves “getting in my feels.” The “Bam Bam” singer added she would “love to collab” with Taylor.
Lady Gaga isn’t one to clap back at fans, but she felt this comment warranted a correction. When reminiscing about winning her first Grammy for “Poker Face,” a fan commented, “I miss the person in the picture so much” — a reference to Gaga’s pop era. The House of Gucci star wrote back, along with an upside down smiling emoji, “I’m still here. See you at the Chromatica ball.”

Of all the music he made both with Wham! and as a solo artist, George Michael thought most highly of his 1996 album Older, which he called “the best, most healing piece of music I’ve written in my life,” as well as “my greatest moment.” Now, the album is being reissued as a deluxe limited-edition box set, due out July 8.
The set includes five CDs and three vinyl LPs, comprising the original album Older, and a six-track collection called Upper that was released in 1997, made up of B-sides from the album’s singles. There are also three CDs of dance mixes, radio edits, instrumentals and live versions of previous hits “Freedom” and “One More Try.”
The whole thing comes packaged with a 48-page book, The Story of Older, and three art prints of George.
Upon its release, Older — George’s first album in more than five years — was a massive hit in his native U.K., and also reached the top 10 in the U.S. The singles “Jesus to a Child” and “Fastlove” were both top 10 U.S. hits; in the U.K., Older spun off six top three singles.
After Older, George released one more studio album of original material, 2004’s Patience, as well as an album of covers, a live orchestral album and two best-of collections. He died on Christmas Day, 2016.

“Call Me Maybe” singer Carly Rae Jepsen announced she’s back in the recording studio and making new music.
Carly took to Twitter to tease her upcoming project, writing, “X marks the spot,” and shared an ink-drawn map of California. While she chose to include landmarks such as Coachella, the International Banana Museum and the World’s Biggest Dinosaurs, fans were quick to note the golden x crossed over exit 180 on route 10.
Fans in the area took off to see what they’d find at that location and, soon enough, stumbled upon a giant billboard teasing Carly’s return.
The sign reads, “Carly Rae Jepsen, Western Wind” and includes the phone number “213-732-3275.” Calling the number takes you to the singer’s hotline, where fans can sign up to receive text updates from the Grammy nominee and “be the first to know about everything that’s coming this year.”
Carly promised she has “a lot” of news to share. She has since released what fans believe is the official artwork of her upcoming album and captioned it, “first bloom.” Interestingly, the map Carly shared mentioned “Western Wind” and “First Bloom” over some of the landmarks, leading fans to believe the descriptors contain clues about the track list.
The “Good Time” singer’s last album was Dedicated Side B, which she released in May 2020. It is unknown when she’ll drop her new music.

https://warm1069.com/five-years-later-harry-styles-sign-of-the-times-gets-new-life-thanks-to-bridgerton/
|
Five years ago today — April 7, 2017 –– Harry Styles went solo, releasing “Sign of the Times.” Now, the song is getting a revival on TikTok, thanks to Bridgerton.
A string arrangement of “Sign of the Times” is used in the hit Netflix series to soundtrack the wedding of Anthony Bridgerton and Edwina Sharma, and fans are here for it. Many have created TikToks using a snippet of the song — performed and arranged by Steve Horner and produced by Angry Mob Music — in which they dream of using the song on their own wedding day.
One fan wrote in her TikTok caption, “Hey Bridgerton how am I supposed to convince my future husband to walk down the aisle to this?” Another wrote, “When you wanted to walk down the aisle to a Harry Styles’ song but Bridgerton did it first in 1813.”
Yet another fan wrote, “I may not be engaged yet but, I am certain that I will walk down the aisle to this rendition of Sign of The Times from Bridgerton.”
The fan-favorite string cover came about when Angry Mob Music decided to create an entire album of songs for Bridgerton’s music supervisor, Justin Kamp, to listen to, in hopes he’d select one for use in season two. One of them was “Sign of the Times.” After tapping Horner to arrange and compose the string version, they presented it to Kamp who loved it, and the rest is history.
When “Sign of the Times” was released, it introduced Harry’s ’70s rock-influenced musical direction. It hit number four in the U.S. and number one in Harry’s native U.K. Harry’s self-titled debut album arrived in May, debuting at #1 in both the U.S. and the U.K.

Olivia Rodrigo, Mariah Carey and The Weeknd have brand-new bragging rights thanks to the RIAA — they earned all-new Diamond and Platinum certifications.
Starting with Olivia, her debut studio album, SOUR, is certified three-times Platinum, meaning it sold over three million units. Not only that, a couple singles off the album moved up a few tiers on the RIAA charts: Her debut song “drivers license” is certified five-times Platinum, while “good 4 u” is four-times Platinum. In addition, “deja vu” and “traitor” are respectively certified three-times and two-times Platinum.
As for Mariah, she just earned her second Diamond-certified song with her 1995 hit, “Daydream,” selling over 11 million units. “All I Want for Christmas Is You” earned the prestigious award last December. Meanwhile, her other mid-90s hits, “Fantasy” and “Always Be My Baby,” are officially halfway to Diamond certification after going five-times Platinum.
The Weeknd earned a bevy of certifications from the RIAA, with his songs “Party Monster,” “Reminder,” “I Feel It Coming,” “Die for You” and “Heartless” going multi-times Platinum. In addition, his 2016 album, Starboy, is now certified four-times Platinum. The Grammy winner also earned two Diamond certifications for “Starboy” and “Blinding Lights,” which respectively sold over 11 and 10 million units.
Shawn Mendes was also recognized by the RIAA, with his songs “Treat You Better,” “Stitches,” “Life of the Party,” “There’s Nothing Holding Me Back,” “Illuminate” and “Mercy” all going multi-times Platinum. Earning certified-Gold status are his songs “Ruin,” “Show You” and “Imagination.”

And it has Mod + Avril on the inside.” Avril gushed, “He knew from the very beginning I wanted a heart-shaped diamond because on the day we met, we had matching heart-shaped paved rings on. We’ve worn them every day since, so its only fitting to have a heart-shaped engagement ring. I love it so much.” She said of Mod popping the question, “It was the most perfect, romantic proposal I could ever ask for. We were in Paris on a boat in the Seine River. We had a violin player, champagne and roses.”
Taylor Swift got a “Fancy Like” invitation from Walker Hayes. The country star took to his Instagram Story on Thursday and asked his fans to vote yes or no on this question: “Do we need a Taylor Swift collab on ‘Delorean‘?” Those voting yes outweighed the nays about three to one. Taylor has yet to respond.
Mandy Moore released “Little Dreams,” her newest song off her In Real Life album. Mandy said in a statement about the track, “I wanted to write a song about how a life is comprised of these seemingly mundane moments that ultimately all piece together to form something greater… Those quieter, simpler moments are worth recognizing and celebrating too.”
Don’t forget Camila Cabello‘s TikTok Live concert is tonight, during which she’ll premiere her new album, Familia. The concert starts at 7 p.m. ET. The immersive show uses XR, or Extended Reality, technology that Camila says will create a “fantastical trip through the artist’s mind.”

|
The Weeknd has a rare opportunity for fans to play his music — on heavy machinery. The Grammy winner revealed Thursday that he released his new single, “Out of Time,” on a playable saw blade.
No, this is not a joke.
“Collaborated with @MSCHF on something crazy that’s never been done before,” The Weeknd teased. “it’s a real saw blade… it’s a playable record… it’s out of time!” He then shared a video of an elderly man using the saw blade to cut through wood before plopping it on the record player to jam out to the smooth tune.
The blood-red blade-turned-vinyl record has serrated, sharp edges and “Vinyl blade” emblazoned on it, along with DAWN FM, the name of The Weeknd’s new album.
Over on his Instagram story, The Weeknd showed the protective casing the 12-inch disc will come in, including an oversized red box and black padding that has a warning label printed on to warn about the record’s ability to slice off fingers if mishandled.
The rare collectible is up for auction now on vinylblade.com; only 25 will be sold to the highest bidders. The auction closes Friday.
And, for those wondering if the record can be used on heavy machinery as well, The Weeknd states in a disclaimer, “It is not rated or intended for use as a functional saw blade. Attempting to use Vinyl Blade on a saw could result in serious injury or death.”
He also added the caution, “Do not operate while heartbroken.”

If you ever dreamed of owning a celebrity’s former home, this might be your chance. Whitney Houston‘s Mendham, New Jersey, ranch-style home has hit the market and has an asking price starting at $1.6 million.
Considering what celebrity homes typically can sell for, this number is on the more-affordable side.
The New York Post reports Whitney resided at the New Jersey residence from 1993 to 2010, when she sold it to its current owners for $940,000. The “I Will Always Love You” singer used the property as a guest house and a recording studio. The current owners apparently didn’t touch the famous space and described it as a “sound-proof home office” in the listing.
The 31,000 square feet home offers five acres, a gym, massive dine-in kitchen, game room, gigantic walk-in closets, tennis court, hot tub and an indoor pool.
Liane Dobson, the realtor overseeing the home’s sale, told the outlet, “It’s such a unique opportunity not just to be part of a piece of history, but also to own a special home.”
Whitney died in 2012. She was 48.

The Backstreet Boys resume their DNA World Tour Friday night at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas: They’ll be there April 8 and 9, and April 15 and 16. While the show won’t include any new music, the group says there are more than enough songs to keep their fans happy.
“What you won’t find in the DNA show that’s in Vegas is the brand-new Christmas album that’s coming later this year,” Brian Littrell tells ABC Audio. “It’s not really going to be the time or place in the — let me remind you — 32-song set that we have!…[t]hat’s a lot of material to fit in!”
And Nick Carter says fans should be prepared for quite the spectacle.
“Performance really matters to us, like, we dance for two hours. We sing, you know, live. It’s a show,” he tells ABC Audio. “If you saw it last time…it’s like going to see your favorite movie again, and it feels new.”
“I call it a knock-out fight. It’s just kind of round after round, after round, of hit, after hit after hit,” Brian adds. He says it’ll make you feel “like a teenager again, going, ‘Oh my gosh, it was just a whirlwind of of songs that we love, that we remember.'”
While the tour will continue on after Vegas, Sin City is a place that Backstreet plans to return to — not just for Christmas shows later this year, but for another residency. Their first one at Planet Hollywood ran from 2017 to 2019.
“It’s convenient,” explains Kevin Richardson. “Road life can be hard. Traveling can be hard, especially if you have family…so it’s just a great place for us. And yeah, that is in our long-term plans.”

https://warm1069.com/following-copyright-case-ed-sheeran-now-films-all-his-songwriting-sessions-to-protect-himself/
|
After winning the copyright case over “Shape of You,” Ed Sheeran says from now on, he’s filming his songwriting sessions to protect himself against similar claims in the future.
A judge ruled that Ed and his collaborators Johnny McDaid and Steve Mac had not plagiarized a song called “Oh Why,” by Sami Chokri, when they wrote “Shape of You.”
Speaking to BBC’s Newsnight, Ed said, “Now I just film everything, everything is on film. We’ve had claims coming through on the songs and we go, ‘Well here’s the footage and you watch. You’ll see there’s nothing there.'”
Ed also revealed that he now regrets settling a copyright claim over his song “Photograph” out of court in 2017. He said after did that, “the floodgates opened” and he was hit with other claims.
Not only that, Ed admits, “I didn’t play ‘Photograph’ for ages after that. I just stopped playing it. I felt weird about it, it kind of made me feel dirty.”
In addition, Ed feels his songwriting process has been tainted. Referring to a story about late Beatle George Harrision being “scared to touch the piano because he might be touching someone else’s note,” Ed explained, “There is definitely a feeling of that in the studio.”
“I personally think the best feeling in the world is the euphoria around the first idea of writing a great song,” he continued. “That feeling has now turned into ‘Oh, wait, let’s stand back for a minute.’ You find yourself in the moment, second-guessing yourself.

We might have a new celebrity engagement on our hands. Paparazzi noticed a new accessory on Jennifer Lopez‘s ring finger, sparking rumors she’s engaged to boyfriend Ben Affleck.
TMZ shared the images of what appears to be a chunky diamond ring on J.Lo’s left hand. The “On the Floor” singer was out shopping with her daughter, Emme, when paps spotted the curious sparkler. Eyewitnesses add that, once Jennifer was aware she was spotted by the paparazzi, she flipped the ring so the stone faced the inside of her palm.
While it’s currently unknown if Jennifer and Ben are indeed engaged, they recently purchased a $55 million Bel-Air mansion together. In addition, this would mark their second engagement: The duo famously dated in 2002, sparking the couple name “Bennifer,” and ultimately became engaged before breaking things off in 2004.
They rekindled their romance last summer, following Jennifer’s high-profile split from former fiancé Alex Rodriguez.

|
A guy who says he’s spent years electronically tuning Justin Bieber‘s vocals has sued the singer’s manager, Scooter Braun, over money he says he was promised from the sales of Justin’s music.
According to Billboard, Chris “Tek” O’Ryan is a vocal producer, whose job it is to make singer’s vocals sound perfect. In his lawsuit, O’Ryan says he helped “polish and finesse” Justin’s vocals, not only in the studio, but also for live performances on film and TV. The first song he says he worked on was Justin’s signature hit, “Baby.”
O’Ryan used to receive $1,200 to $1,500 per track, but in 2018, he requested $2,000 per track, plus a “point” — that is, 1% of the master recording revenue. O’Ryan claims an executive at Braun’s company agreed to the deal, but then the company subsequently reneged.
When O’Ryan asked to be paid for working on Justin’s JUSTICE album — including the hits “Holy,” “Lonely” and “Anyone” — he claims he was told by Justin’s team that “his entitlement to a point on any recordings was considered to be purely within their discretion, and that he could not necessarily expect to receive a royalty on any” of the tracks.
As Billboard reports, in his suit, O’Ryan claims that Braun wrote to him, “We didn’t know you are on some songs and some songs I have given too many [points] to the producers.” O’Ryan claims this is an admission by Braun that he’d given O’Ryan’s points to someone else.
O’Ryan also claims that after working with Justin for nearly 10 years, he’s not properly credited on some of the star’s songs, including “Despacito.” He’s seeking “monetary damages in an amount to be proven at trial.”

https://warm1069.com/man-accused-of-shooting-lady-gagas-dog-walker-mistakenly-released-from-jail-still-at-large/
|
The man accused of shooting Lady Gaga‘s dog walker, Ryan Fischer, while stealing two of Gaga’s French bulldogs last year was mistakenly released from jail on Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
A clerical error was responsible for the release of James Jackson, says the LASD. Jackson had attended a hearing on April 5 but was then “inadvertently” released from custody. The Major Crimes Bureau is now working to track him down. As of Friday, they were still looking for him.
In previously sealed grand jury testimony Fischer provided in October 2021, which was obtained by Rolling Stone last month, Fischer said he was trying to grab one of the dogs, Koji, when “the man with the gun shot me as I was reaching.” Fischer says Jackson and his accomplices took Koji and another dog, Gustav, when he went down.
“I immediately tried to call for help but realized I was bleeding out of my lung and that I was losing more and more air quickly,” Fisher testified. He was subsequently rushed to the hospital, where, he says, “part of my lung” was removed, causing him to continue to struggle with “breathing issues.”
Jackson, Jaylin White and Lafayette Whaley face attempted murder charges in connection with the incident. White’s father, Harold White, as well as Jennifer McBride are charged as accessories to attempted murder: McBride claimed she “found” the dogs and tried to claim the $500,000 reward Gaga offered for their return.

|
Unsurprisingly, Harry Styles‘ new single “As It Was” has scored a huge debut on the singles chart in his native U.K.
“As It Was” debuts at number one on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart with the biggest opening week of any single in 2022 to day. It sold 94,000 copies in its first week and racked up 10.5 million streams — that’s more U.K. streams than any other 2022 song has earned in its first week.
“As It Was” is Harry’s second number-one single back home, following “Sign of the Times,” which was released five years ago this week.
As MusicWeek notes, Harry is now the One Direction member with the most U.K. number ones, and the most U.K. solo hits: He’s had 12, while Zayn Malik has had 11. Niall Horan and Liam Payne have each had eight hits, while Louis Tomlinson‘s had four.
“As It Was” is from Harry’s upcoming third solo album, Harry’s House. We won’t know where the song will land chart-wise in the U.S. for a few days.

https://warm1069.com/jewel-reveals-she-was-forced-into-homelessness-because-she-refused-to-have-sex-with-her-former-boss/
|
Jewel‘s career spans nearly 30 years, but before she burst into the scene in 1996 with “Who Will Save Your Soul,” the singer lived in a van — out of choice.
“I was homeless,” she told StereoGum, explaining, “I was living in my car because I wouldn’t have sex with my boss. I refused to be leveraged and he wouldn’t give me my paycheck and I couldn’t pay my rent and I started living in my car.”
“And then my car got stolen and I was homeless because of that, because I wouldn’t bang a boss,” she said. “It cost me a lot, but it won me myself. It won me my humanity. I’m so proud of that decision.”
So, when the “Hands” singer was approached with a record deal, Jewel said she hesitated.
“I wasn’t optimistic that fame would be good for me,” she explained. “I was… soberly aware of the fact that I had a lot of emotional baggage. It’s a recipe for what we’ve seen all too often in the music industry. Substance abuse or death, or unhappiness, all of which were unacceptable. ”
That led to Jewel promising herself to commit to being a “happy, whole human” and focus on “art over fame” if she signed the deal — and she did. Jewel also committed to continue standing up for herself, which led to her being “kicked out of the radio station” whenever a jock directed a sexist joke at her.
“I wouldn’t take s***,” she remarked. After a DJ called her “a large-breasted woman from Alaska,” Jewel recalled firing back, “You must be the small p**** man I’ve heard so much about from South Carolina.”
Jewel added she doesn’t regret those choices because she was “fighting for my humanity, for my psychology, for my happiness.”

|
Artists across social media took part in the Stand Up for Ukraine outreach effort on Friday to raise awareness about the toll of Russia’s war.
Among those joining Global Citizen‘s movement were Katy Perry, Celine Dion, Michael Bublé and many others. The effort tasked A-listers to suspend normal social media posts and direct their attention on Ukraine, which continues to try to fend off Russia’s invasion that began February 24.
Michael shared an infographic to his accounts on Friday and announced, “Advocates are using their voices to call for billions of dollars in urgent refugee relief and humanitarian aid. Join me.”
Celine shared a video message in support of the refugees and captioned it, “I #StandUpForUkraine and for refugees around the world. I’m calling on world leaders to help all those who are forced to leave their homes. Please make sure that they get the support that they desperately need now.”
As for Katy, she shared a video documenting the tragedies unfolding across the country and wrote, “We’ve all seen the horror unfold in Ukraine, so we know how desperately they need help, and this is the time for all of us — but most especially our leaders — to #StandUpForUkraine. Support the refugees!”
U2 shared an acoustic performance of “Walk On” and told fans, “The brave people of Ukraine are fighting for their freedom — and for ours — in the face of unspeakable violence and an unjust invasion. More than 4 million people, mostly women and children, have had to flee for their lives — a population nearly the size of Ireland.”
Elton John shared footage of a 2007 concert in Ukraine’s capital of Kyiv, and wrote, “We are devastated to see the suffering of people in Ukraine as this conflict unfolds.”
Stevie Nicks shared an impassioned letter in support of Ukraine, writing, “At 73 years old I never thought I would see in my lifetime flashes of things my mother and father told me about World War II.” Nicks also said she is an “honorary Ukrainian” because she “fell in love with their great spirit and incredible bravery. I stand with them now and forever.”
Bon Jovi also rallied for Ukraine, expressing, “We need you to answer the call from activists and advocates working to support refugees and take immediate action to help displaced people from Ukraine and around the world.” He also shared a video of the band performing “We Don’t Run” at a recent benefit concert.

|
Olivia Rodrigo is currently on her sold-out SOUR world tour — so what does she do between stops? A new TikTok featuring the Grammy winner explains just that.
Teaming with singer Conan Gray, who made a surprise appearance during her Thursday night show, the “drivers license” singer recreated a now-viral line from the 2008 movie Twilight. The hilarious video was taken at Vancouver’s Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre.
Olivia and Conan dramatically recreate the scene where Rob Pattinson‘s Edward Cullen reveals to Kristen Stewart‘s Bella Swan that he’s a vampire.
Wearing a crop top and maxi skirt, Olivia twirls around before pretending to scream the line, “As if you can outrun me!” The scene changes to a sped-up clip of her laughing as she half-heartedly runs around the arena in her elevated combat boots — all to the movie’s whooshing sound effects.
Then Conan jumps forward and lip-syncs “As if you can fight me off” before he charges toward a poster of Olivia’s face and pretends to pummel at it, again set to the movie’s dramatic sound effects.
The video was on its way to amassing three million likes as of Friday afternoon and has been viewed more than eight million times since it was posted earlier Friday.
Olivia previously revealed she’s a fan of the Twilight saga. In 2020, she created an original song from Bella’s perspective, and also announced on Twitter around the same time, “My favorite album is the twilight soundtrack and nobody can change my mind.”
While performing in Vancouver, Olivia and Conan jumped on stage together to perform Katy Perry‘s hit “The One That Got Away,” according to videos taken by fans. Olivia is next set to play in Salt Lake City’s UCCU Center on Saturday.

https://warm1069.com/sam-smith-embraces-their-flop-songs-having-a-few-absolute-stinkers-in-there-is-wonderful/
|
Don’t count Sam Smith among the artists who become upset when a song of theirs flops. In fact, the “Stay with Me” singer is grateful for the experience.
“I think having a few absolute stinkers in there is wonderful… Because you’ve got to dare greatly right?” Sam tells Spotify.
Noting their 2014 song “Money On My Mind,” the British singer revealed, “I’m really happy that I shot for the sky with some songs.”
Sam believes more artists should adopt this mindset, explaining, “There’s so much music snobbery out there.” They add, “Every single person has made a bad song. That is a fact,” which means artists should turn that disappointment into a learning opportunity to become even better.
The “Latch” singer also hinted against taking oneself seriously in the music industry because, according to them, “Absolutely no one knows what they’re doing.”
“Even the biggest writers in the world, who have written so many hits, they can pretend like they do, but they don’t know. They don’t know the magic,” they attested.
Sam reflected on their bigger hits and said the best advice they have about finding success is, “Keep your ears open at all times.”
“With writing music in the room with people, you just need to lean into the thing you’re good at,” they continued. “Some people are led by lyrics, but I’m definitely always led by a melody. When I’m in the room… I just sing and sing and sing until someone says, ‘That makes me feel good.'”
Another piece of advice is: “Never lower your standards.”
Said Sam, “You know what you need. And if you don’t know what you need, you need to ask yourself what you need. And then do not stop until you get that.”

https://warm1069.com/the-jonas-brothers-tease-theyll-have-new-music-hopefully-by-the-end-of-this-year/
|
Fans are waiting patiently for the Jonas Brothers to release new music and, on Friday, they received word from the bros themselves that the won’t have to wait much longer.
Appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the trio spoke about their plans for the future, leading Joe Jonas to tease that they’re crafting new music. “We’re back in the studio, we’re writing, recording and getting that process started, and finding inspiration everywhere,” he remarked while crossing his fingers. “So we’re ready to get it out there for the world — hopefully by the end of this year. We’ll see!”
The JoBros didn’t disclose when exactly the new music will drop.
The brothers haven’t released a new album since 2019’s Happiness Begins, but they’ve released on-off singles, the last being “Who’s In Your Head?”, which came out last September.
The JoBros also teased their upcoming Vegas residency, with Nick Jonas marveling they haven’t “played a show since October of last year, so we’re obviously very excited to get back on stage.” Nick added the residency was set to take place “pre-COVID,” so they had to push back the exciting venture back by two years.
“This is a long time overdue for us to bring an exciting show to our fans,” he hinted.
Kevin Jonas also jumped in, teasing that they might bring on some “special guests” during their residency, leading a wide-eyed Kelly to jokingly threaten, “Don’t invite me — mama will show up!”
The JoBros will be taking over Park MGM for a five-night residency from June 3 through June 11. Tickets are available to purchase on Ticketmaster.

Lady Gaga‘s dog walker Ryan Fischer — who was shot last year while attempting to fight off several men who stole two of Gaga’s French bulldogs — has reacted to the news that the man accused of shooting him, James Jackson, was mistakenly released from custody early this week and is currently at large.
As previously reported, Jackson was released due to a “clerical error,” according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department. In a statement Friday afternoon, the Department said, “Our office indicted Mr. Jackson on Tuesday to speed up the legal process. He was arraigned on the indictment under a new case number. Mr. Jackson was subsequently released from custody by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.”
The statement continued, “We are unsure as to why they did so. However our office is working with the Sheriff’s Department to take Mr. Jackson back into custody. If anyone has information, please reach out to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.”
In a statement to ABC News, Fischer said of this development, “While I’m deeply concerned at the events that led to [Jackson’s] release, I’m confident law enforcement will rectify the error.”
He added, “I ask for Mr. Jackson to turn himself over to the authorities, so resolution to the crime committed against me runs its course, whatever the courts determine that outcome to be. Thank you to everyone who is supporting me during this time.”
After Fischer was shot, he was hospitalized and underwent surgery; reportedly, he still has trouble breathing due to the damage to his lung.

Toxic relationship break ups can be very dangerous. Here are some tips to stay safe.
Crime profilers on “Real Crime Profile” did a bonus episode on the dangers of toxic ex’s. Listen Here
If you’re a survivor trying to leave a relationship but fear repercussions from your ex, there are several steps you can take to protect yourself and prioritize your safety.
Disconnect (physically and virtually) from your ex.
Create a specific plan for your safety.
Find a skilled professional and victim’s advocate.
Confide in loved ones you trust.
Trust your intuition. The Gift of Fear by Gavin DeBecker
Know your legal rights as a survivor.
If you choose to pursue legal action against your ex, a victim’s advocate will once again be the best source of information. Domestic violence laws vary by state, so it helps to have someone familiar with the legal system in your community. The website WomensLaw.org includes state-by-state information about how to file a restraining order, sue an abuser, and seek full custody of a child. It also includes contact information for state-wide and local low-cost legal assistance in case you want to reach out to a lawyer on your own.
Wherever you are in this process, trust that there are people who want to help you. “Anyone impacted by relationship abuse, even those seeking to help someone experiencing abuse, can reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline 24/7,” Justice says. Call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or text START to 88788 for immediate assistance and support. Your immediate safety and health (mental and physical) are the most important priorities at this moment. The best thing you can do is surround yourself with as much support as possible before, during, and after the breakup, for however long it takes you to feel safe and free from this situation.

It seems as though the speculation that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had gotten engaged — again — isn’t speculation at all: It’s true.
ABC News has confirmed that the couple, who originally broke off their first engagement in 2004, are once again set to wed. People was the first to report the news, citing a rep for Jennifer. The Marry Me star also added a diamond ring emoji to her Twitter handle, and tweeted a video teasing “a really exciting and special story to share.”
She directed her fans to her online community OntheJlo, where People reported that she posted a clip of herself admiring a huge green diamond ring. The clip was shared on her sister Lynda Lopez‘s Instagram, with the caption, “So this happened.”
Jennifer and Affleck, aka “Bennifer,” rekindled their romance last summer after Jennifer broke up with Alex Rodriguez. If the couple makes it to the altar, it’ll be the Jennifer’s fourth marriage, and Affleck’s second. Jennifer shares twins Max and Emme, 14, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck has three kids with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Speaking about her reunion with Affleck, Jennifer told People earlier, “It’s a beautiful outcome that this has happened in this way at this time in our lives where we can really appreciate and celebrate each other and respect each other.”
Bennifer’s first engagement ended, in part, due to the media attention surrounding their relationship.

Backstreet Boys just relaunched their DNA tour at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in on Friday, and they’ll play two more shows at the Las Vegas venue before continuing the tour in earnest on June 4 in Chula Vista, California. But the group is already thinking ahead to 2023, which is when they’ll be celebrating their — gasp! — 30th anniversary.
“We have some interesting tricks up our sleeve,” AJ McLean tells the U.K.’s Official Charts Company. “I’ll say this: If these things come to light, our fans are literally going to lose their f***ing minds.”
AJ declined to go into detail about the mind-blowing plans, but he did tease, “We have some really incredible things in the works that will probably take all the way up to our 30th to plan; there are lots of moving parts. We definitely have a couple of big, big, big things — probably the biggest we’ve done in years — planned. It’s gonna be awesome.”
He notes, “30’s a big one, so we have to do something massive.”
Before that happens, though, AJ says he’ll release a solo EP with “a couple of feature[d artists] on there that are more in the millennial world.” Later this year, Backstreet Boys will release a Christmas album and will reportedly do a holiday residency in Las Vegas.
AJ also points out that even though people think Harry Styles is pushing the boundaries of fashion by wearing nail polish, he’s “been doing it for 25 years,” and has his own nail polish line. What’s more, AJ says he was inspired to do it by someone several generations before him: Aerosmith‘s Steven Tyler.

Mariah Carey‘s trophy cases are filled with honors, including Grammys and American Music Awards, but there’s one trophy that continues to elude the “Fantasy” singer: an MTV Video Music Award.
Mariah has been nominated for seven VMAs over the course of her career, with her last nod coming in 2008 for her hit “Touch My Body,” but she failed to snag a single one. Now, she’s asking MTV directly if they have something to say to her.
The hilarious conversation came about when a fan noticed the discrepancy and tweeted, “The fact that @MariahCarey never won a VMA and still hasn’t won a Vanguard award don’t sit right with me. Get it together @MTV @vmas.”
Mariah caught wind of the remark and jokingly fired back, “Yeah.. @MTV how have I offended thee? Nary an award?” Along with a sad face emoji, she attached to her response a clip from her 1997 music video for “Honey,” which was nominated in 1998 for Best Female Video.
As of noon ET Monday, MTV hadn’t responded.

The theobromine and caffeine in chocolate are dangerous in dogs
Southern Cross Pet Insurance (SCPI) is urging pet owners to keep their dogs safe from potential hazards this Easter after the company ended up paying over $75,000 in claims related to chocolate and raisin poisoning in 2021.
The dangers of Easter treats
The theobromine and caffeine in chocolate are dangerous in dogs due to their inability to properly metabolise these chemicals. While ingesting small amounts of chocolate isn’t immediately life-threatening, owners should be wary of baking chocolate or dark chocolate because they contain more theobromine.
Raisins, currants, and sultanas, which are common ingredients in hot cross buns, are similarly toxic in dogs, potentially causing kidney failure.
First aid for dogs
Common symptoms of chocolate poisoning include vomiting, panting or rapid breathing, and a rapid heart rate. These may evolve to graver symptoms such as muscle tension and seizures.
“If you do suspect your dog has eaten chocolate this Easter, make sure to take them to the vet straight away,”
Play safe this Easter
As such, SCIP general manager Anthony McPhail emphasizes the importance of keeping Easter treats away from pets’ reach.
“Dogs are famously good at sniffing out the food they shouldn’t be eating, so we’re urging people to stash their Easter goodies – both of the chocolate and hot cross bun variety – in high cupboards,” he said.
“If you’re planning an Easter egg hunt for your family, we’re also recommending pet owners make a note of each treat’s hiding spot and the number of eggs, so dogs don’t discover any chocolate their humans may have left behind. It pays to keep the pooch away from the hunting area too. And, while cats generally aren’t tempted by chocolate due to their inability to detect sweetness, chocolate is also poisonous for our feline friends, so it also pays to be wary of leaving such treats in their vicinity, too.”

Olivia Rodrigo is the Songwriter of the Year. That’s according to the performance-rights organization ASCAP, which has handed out its annual Pop Music Awards.
Olivia, who just won several Grammys and Kids’ Choice Awards, won Songwriter of the Year because of the success of the songs from her debut album, SOUR: specifically, “drivers license,” “deja vu” and “good 4 u.”
Meanwhile, Dua Lipa‘s hit “Levitating” has been named the ASCAP Pop Music Awards’ Song of the Year, thanks to its status as one of the longest-charting Billboard Hot 100 Hits of All Time.
ASCAP also honored a list of songs as ‘Most Performed,’ based on data from terrestrial and satellite radio, as well as on-demand audio streams, provided by Luminate, formerly PMRC Data. Those songs include Silk Sonic‘s “Leave the Door Open,” Duncan Laurence‘s “Arcade,” Maroon 5′s “Beautiful Mistakes,” Justin Bieber‘s “Peaches,” The Weeknd’s “Save Your Tears,” and Justin Bieber and The Kid LAROI‘s “Stay.”
The winners will be celebrated starting April 11 through April 14 on ASCAP’s Instagram, Twitter and Facebook feeds.

|
Ava Max is getting ready for her new music era, and she took to Instagram on Monday to tease the title track of her forthcoming album, Maybe You’re the Problem.
The “Motto” hitmaker shared an acoustic video of her playing piano and singing into a microphone. The lyrics go, “But with you/ It’s always my fault/ And your short fuse/ Just like a time bomb/ And I think you should take a second just to look at your reflection, baby/ Maybe you’re the problem/ Okay, you/ You say you’re battered/ Your point of view/ Got it all backwards/ You should take a little finger and point it in the mirror, baby/ Maybe you’re the problem.”
It’s unknown when the ballad will drop, but the song is a departure from the upbeat, electrically charged works we’ve come to expect from Ava.
She previously told Billboard that her forthcoming album documents “the hardest year of my life.” While Ava insisted that it will still contain “anthemic and pop” tracks, she also noted, “I think it’s a little different. It’s more personal and I hope the fans [like it].”
She went on to tease, “This music will say a lot,” and added that a new single will be on the way shortly.
“I’ve never written anything so personal and it’s probably some of the best music I’ve ever written,” Ava said about the project.
“I feel like a piece of my heart is coming out and I’m super nervous about it,” she added, but did not reveal a release date. She did hint, however, that the studio effort will contain some more music collaborations.

https://warm1069.com/fatherhood-is-something-i-have-always-looked-forward-to-britneys-fiance-sam-asghari-weighs-in/
|
After Britney Spears posted a message on Instagram that seemed to indicate that she’s expecting a baby, her fiancé Sam Asghari took to his Instagram feed to post a message that may or may not confirm the speculation.
“Marriage and kids are a natural part of a strong relationship filled with love and respect,” Sam wrote next to an image of two lions with a cub — it’s worth noting that his pet name for Britney is “lioness.”
He continued, “Fatherhood is something i have always looked forward to and i don’t take lightly. It is the most important job i will ever do.”
Interestingly, Sam wrote “marriage and kids.” Britney has referred to Asghari several times as “my husband,” but it’s not clear if the two have actually tied the knot.
As previously reported, Britney posted earlier in the day, “So I got a pregnancy test … and uhhhhh well … I am having a baby.” But since she also referred several times to being “food pregnant” — as in, eating too much — it wasn’t exactly clear if she was serious.
At least one of Britney’s friends took her post seriously: Paris Hilton commented, “Congratulations sis!! I’m so excited for you!! Love you!!!”
If Britney and Sam are indeed expecting, this will be Britney’s third child: She and her ex-husband Kevin Federline share sons Sean and Jayden who are 16 and 15, respectively.

Harry Styles has ended Glass Animals‘ hot streak on the Billboard Hot 100, with his new hit “As It Was” bowing atop the prestigious chart in its first week. This marks the first time in 30 years that a British act has eclipsed another British artist at the top of the singles chart.
The last time this happened was in February 1992, when George Michael and Elton John‘s duet version of “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down Me” was replaced by Right Said Fred‘s “I’m Too Sexy.”
“As It Was” is Harry’s second number-one solo hit, but his first song to debut at the top of the Hot 100. The achievement also history for his former group One Direction, which officially becomes the first British group in history to have two former members debut atop the Billboard Hot 100. Zayn Malik was first when “PILLOWTALK” bounded to the top spot in 2016.
As for Harry’s own accomplishments, he is officially the first artist of 2022 to have a song debut atop the chart, and he also can boast of having the biggest streaming week of the year. People streamed “As It Was” 43.8 million times and purchased 10,300 copies of the track in its first week of release.
Harry’s first number-one hit was “Watermelon Sugar,” which spent 20 weeks climbing to the top in 2020.
“As It Was” is the first single off Harry’s forthcoming album, Harry’s House, due out May 20.
