https://warm1069.com/oh-my-god-adeles-las-vegas-residency-will-reportedly-launch-this-summer/ | Adele‘s Weekends with Adele Las Vegas residency was abruptly postponed earlier this year, but the star later told talk show host Graham Norton that the shows are “absolutely happening this year, 100 per cent.” Now, sources tell the British paper The Telegraph that there are signs the show is being completely overhauled, with an eye towards a summer restart.
According to The Telegraph, the plan is to launch the residency at the end of July or early August, which would work, as there’s currently a 10-week gap between residencies by other artists at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, the venue for Adele’s show. In addition, Adele has reportedly brought in a whole new creative team to redesign the show.
The Telegraph reports that Adele is planning to scrap everything that was previously designed and conceived for the production, and has brought in award-winning artistic director Kim Gavin and production design company Stufish to take over.
Among his many other projects, Gavin helped stage the closing ceremonies of the Olympic games in London and has worked with the British band Take That for years. Stufish, meanwhile, worked on the Rolling Stones‘ upcoming 60th anniversary tour.
Reportedly, one reason for the initial residency’s cancellation was the disagreements between Adele and the original designer. A source tells the Telegraph that a documentary crew followed Adele as the original version of the show was being created, and also happened to capture those disagreements, but it’s unclear if the footage will ever be released.
Meanwhile, fans worldwide who are still holding their original tickets are eagerly awaiting news of the show so they can make their summer plans.

https://warm1069.com/sugar-ray-leonard-foundation-to-honor-nick-jonas-with-the-golden-glove-award/ | Nick Jonas is adding an impressive honor to his trophy case — the coveted Golden Glove Award.
The Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation announced Thursday they are honoring the “Jealous” singer at their 11th annual charity boxing event, dubbed “Big Fighters, Big Cause.”
“The 2022 Golden Glove Award will acknowledge Jonas’ commitment to helping raise awareness for diabetes,” the foundation said in a press release. “In addition to his many accomplishments, Jonas also co-founded Beyond Type 1, a global nonprofit organization that provides education and resources to support those affected by diabetes.”
Nick was 13 when he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and has been open about his health, which the foundation says helps “normalize what it means to live with the disease while encouraging youth to follow their dreams despite their struggles.”
The charity boxing event takes place on May 25 at The Beverly Hilton Hotel. Aside from live fights and musical performances, the night will also raise money via a live and silent auction that will feature “memorabilia and one-of-a-kind items and experiences.”
All proceeds raised will go toward the Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation’s efforts at raising awareness and encouraging research for pediatric Type 1 and 2 diabetes so children battling the disease can live fuller, healthier lives.

https://warm1069.com/black-eyed-peas-rally-for-ukraine-with-symbolic-where-is-the-love-performance-at-2022-latin-amas/ | The Black Eyed Peas had the perfect message to the world when they opened the 2022 Latin American Music Awards on Thursday: “Where Is the Love?”
Telemundo shared the video of the uplifting, bilingual performance, which saw over two dozen Latin artists, including CNCO and Ozuna, joining BEP on stage to call for global peace via their 2003 hit. Everyone taking the Latin AMA stage symbolically wore white as Ukrainian pop artist NK waved her nation’s flag. Images of war-torn Ukraine and calls to stand with the country flashed in the background during the performance.
will.i.am also modified the “Where Is the Love?” lyrics, saying, “Worldwide, yeah, we praying for Ukraine/ Connected at the heart, soul and brain/ But we still got people that’s being slain/ I see a lot of humans living inhumane, damn.”
Black Eyed Peas wrote “Where Is the Love?” in response to the terrorist attacks on 9/11, and the song has since morphed into a global anti-war anthem.
Telemundo adds NK presented at Thursday night’s awards and made an impassioned speech about the events affecting her home country. “Right now, what is going on in my country, it is not just one war… Russia is committing genocide, a genocide against Ukraine,” she said in Spanish. “This should not remain unknown.”
Russia began its invasion of Ukraine on February 24. World leaders, including President Joe Biden, have since accused Russia of committing war crimes.

https://warm1069.com/dan-shay-justin-bieber-facing-a-copyright-infringement-lawsuit-over-10000-hours/ | Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber’s hit duet, “10,000 Hours,” became the subject of a copyright infringement lawsuit this week.
The complaint, levied by Manufacturing Concepts, Melomega music and Sound Gems, accuses the artists of stealing the “core portion” of “10,000 Hours” from a song called “The First Time Baby Is a Holiday.”
“First Time” first came out over four decades ago, but the lawsuit states that it was re-released in 2014. Meanwhile, “10,000 Hours” came out in late 2019.
“Defendants’ theft is impudently bold,” reads the lawsuit. “One need only listen to ‘First Time’ and the infringing ‘10,000 Hours’ to discern the unmistakable similarities between the songs.” The suit also names Dan + Shay’s record label, Warner Music Group, as a defendant in the case.
The claim against “10,000 Hours” is reportedly corroborated by musicologist Dr. Alexander Stewart, a University of Vermont professor and a frequent expert witness in music copyright cases.
The plaintiffs are asking for credit on the track, as well as payment for damages and legal fees, plus an injunction to prevent further distribution of Dan + Shay and Justin’s song.

https://warm1069.com/joe-jonas-reveals-why-he-and-wife-sophie-turner-are-so-protective-of-their-privacy/ | Despite being a globally known pop star, Joe Jonas admits his fans don’t know much about his private life — and he would like to keep it that way.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the DNCE frontman explained why he and wife Sophie Turner have revealed very little about their family. They welcomed a baby girl in 2020 but never publicly revealed her name, and now the two are reportedly expecting their second child, news they again have yet to confirm.
“It’s almost like in pandemic words, but like your bubble. You’re protecting your family, your friends and those around you,” Joe said about his reasons to keep his private life under wraps. “It’s really being decisive on what you want.”
Added the “Cake by the Ocean” singer, “You wanna be really protective over how much you wanna share in your personal life, and I feel like as artists, we get the opportunity to express our heart through our music, and so that’s where I’m personal and honest as I can be.”
“I don’t really try to hide too much,” admitted Joe, “but I think it’s about protecting what you keep close to your heart.”
While he says he’s “sorta always been” private about his life, he added, “But, I feel like in the last two years, you wanna take a little more time off. I’d say I love what I do, and I’m so grateful I get to do this every day and still perform and make music for a living, so I’ll take none of that away.”
Although he loves his career and fans, Joe said family comes first because, “If I’m able to get home sooner, then I’m always a little happier.”

https://warm1069.com/michael-buble-hopes-the-younger-generations-fall-in-love-with-jazz-its-too-good-to-die/ | Michael Bublé is an old soul. Growing up, he “loved” listening to jazz legends such as Dean Martin, Tony Bennett and others — and he hopes to share his appreciation of the classics with the younger crowd.
“The music I was listening to was from a different generation,” the Grammy winner told Esquire, “I just loved the music. It turned me on. And what’s even weirder was, I couldn’t understand why other kids my age didn’t feel the same way.”
Michael added, “It’s just so swingin’ and the musicians are just so bada**. That’s what I mean when I say, how can anyone not hear that and go, ‘Wow!'”
The “I’ll Never Not Love You” singer hopes his songs inspire the younger generation to preserve the spirit of jazz music. Michael is comforted that he’s not alone in the battle, citing artists such as Jon Batiste, Harry Connick Jr. and others who are “keeping the legacy alive” by acting as “custodians of this genre.”
“We admire each other and it’s not competition,” he attested. “It’s truly genuine appreciation for how each of us have sort of taken the root of jazz, and with the seeds sown by our heroes and now as the tree grows and there are different branches, and each of us have a small part in keeping it alive.”
“It’s too good to die,” Michael remarked, “When it comes to the music I take it dead serious. I feel like we all have this wonderful gift of the responsibility of honoring our heroes.”
The Canadian crooner added his children are gravitating toward older music all on their own without his influence, revealing his eight-year-old son, Noah, loves “50s-era rock and roll, like Elvis Presley.”
“I always think, could this be genetic?” Michael laughed.

https://warm1069.com/barbra-streisand-turns-80-richard-marx-reveals-how-the-legendary-diva-helped-his-career/ | Sunday marks Barbra Streisand‘s 80th birthday. The legendary diva and EGOT winner has, of course, recorded many number-one hits, but one that she passed on was “Right Here Waiting,” which became a chart-topper for its writer, Richard Marx. In his memoir Stories to Tell, Richard reveals how Streisand thought the tune had an “interesting melody,” but wouldn’t record it because she didn’t like the message it sent.
“The way she put it to me was, ‘I’m not going to be right here waiting for anybody,’ which is hilarious, which is a great line,” Richard tells ABC Audio. “But I’ve actually had people say, ‘You think she regretted [it?]’ and I was like, ‘Are you kidding?'”
Richard, who describes Streisand as “a real good friend,” explains why he felt that way.
“One, Barbra Streisand doesn’t need help from anybody. Barbra Streisand’s career is second to none,” Richard laughs. “But number two, of course she doesn’t regret it…she even said to me recently — sometimes I thank her for rejecting my song because of what it did for my career — and she’s like, ‘Yeah, honey, I still wouldn’t cut that song, no matter what’…I would never say that!”
He adds, “But that’s Barbra. I mean, that’s an artist. I would be the same way.”
Richard and Barbra have actually worked together several times: He contributed to her albums One Voice and A Love Like Ours.

https://warm1069.com/sam-smith-shares-extended-tease-of-new-single-love-me-more/ | We have less than a week to go before we finally hear Sam Smith‘s new music and, on Friday, the singer released an extended clip of their new single, “Love Me More.”
The 30-second clip is exclusively on TikTok, which allows users to add it as a sound effect to their videos.
“Have you ever felt like being somebody else?/ Feeling like the mirror isn’t good for your health/ Every day I’m trying not to hate myself/ But, lately, it’s not hurting like it did before/ Maybe I am learning how to love me more,” Sam sings over soft, church-like organ that swells as his voice intensifies.
Prior to releasing the clip, Sam took to Instagram to further tease their new music, saying “There’s something really beautiful and serendipitous to me about us coming together and making this record.” Images show the lengths Sam went through to get the perfect take — even if it called for singing outside in the pouring rain.
“Love Me More” arrives April 28 and will mark Sam’s first original single since 2020, their last being “The Lighthouse Keeper,” which dropped November 20 as part of their The Holly & the Ivy EP.

https://warm1069.com/bonnie-raitt-doesnt-think-she-could-have-handled-the-kind-of-success-taylor-swift-billie-eilish-ed-sheeran-are-having-now/ | Bonnie Raitt’s back with a new album, Just Like That…, her first release in more than six years. And while Bonnie’s big breakthrough didn’t come until she was 40, with her album Nick of Time, she now says that she’s glad it took years for her to have success.
Speaking to Variety, Bonnie, 72, admits, “I look at Taylor Swift and…Adele and Billie Eilish and Ed Sheeran and people are handling incredible early success with the guidance and experience of people decades older, and I’m just so happy to see that. Because I don’t think I could have handled it.”
“I didn’t seek it and I wouldn’t have wanted a hit record,” she explains. “I actually turned down songs that would have made me a star…I just didn’t want to be that in that pressure. I was in it for the long run…planning to be doing this into my eighties or so.”
And that’s still her plan: As she tells Variety, her fellow musicians make her believe she’ll be able to do it.
“If you watched the Tony Bennett special with Lady Gaga, I stood up and gave him a standing ovation in my house. That’s how much I love that he still was able to do that show,” she notes. “And Mick [Jagger] and Keith [Richards] — oh my God, what an inspiration. And Mavis [Staples, her current tour mate].”
“I don’t see any sign of any of us retiring,” she adds. “I mean, Bruce Springsteen and Sting — people are at the top of their form right now, I think.”
Meanwhile, Bonnie’s back on tour for the first time since the pandemic, and she’s thrilled, saying, “I’ve never had more of a mission to go back out on the road to bring joy and relief to people.”

https://warm1069.com/music-notes-meghan-trainor-olivia-rodrigo-and-more/ | Mother’s Day is May 8, and new mom Meghan Trainor told USA Today what gifts she thinks will knock it out of the park. Breakfast in bed is a must, adding that when she became pregnant with daughter Riley and “got a taste of gestational diabetes,” her husband, Daryl Sabara, “wanted to make sure the pregnancy was as easy as possible for me.” Other gift ideas include chocolate-covered strawberries, a good Mother’s Day card and a vacation.
Olivia Rodrigo reflected on how she managed her explosive fame when she was 17 years old, telling OK!, “It’s so crazy… But I have amazing friends who are super honest with me and keep me grounded. My life has changed drastically, but at the end of the day, I’m really kind of like the same person.” As for the advice she has now for her former self, said the Grammy winner, “Everything’s gonna work out, surround yourself with great people and do all this because you love writing songs.”
Kelly Clarkson channeled Stevie Nicks on her daytime talk show Friday, belting out a haunting cover of Stevie’s 1982 smash solo hit “Edge of Seventeen.” This isn’t the first time the American Idol winner showed Nicks some love: she previously covered Fleetwood Mac‘s “The Chain” and “Dreams” on her show.

The search for the next American Idol continued Sunday night as the Top 14 dwindled down to the Top 11.
Before it was revealed who unfortunately hadn’t secured enough of America’s votes, the talented singers took the stage to perform a song fitting of the night’s theme: Breakout Hits.

https://warm1069.com/ellie-goulding-says-motherhood-really-has-changed-everything-about-my-life/ | Ellie Goulding revealed in a candid op-ed that motherhood has “changed everything” about her life.
Guest editing for Marie Claire, the “Lights” singer said she had no idea what effects motherhood would have on her. “I thought I’d be a bit tired, have different priorities, but no. It really has changed everything,” she explained. “There have been so many chemical hormonal changes that I still can’t even compute. My brain is like a different brain and I’m still trying to figure that out.”
Ellie added she’s working to “reconnect and re-balance” herself since giving birth to her son, Arthur, last April.
“I’m preoccupied with being a mother and I’m preoccupied with trying to get back to normal,” she continued, adding she’s been shirking on her exercise routine and hasn’t had “a decent night’s sleep” since becoming a mom. “I’m trying not to be too hard on myself though,” she added.
Ellie noted that she has also been giving more time for herself to come to “grips with being a mother and the changes to my body and mind.” One positive thing that has come from this reflective period is a new understanding of her “extreme” anxiety.
“I couldn’t function. I had really extreme symptoms. I would get dizzy, feel like I was going to faint, my heart would be doing backflips,” the British singer recalled. Although she’s now managing her symptoms better, Ellie admits she’s still “overwhelmed by what’s going in the world.”
“I want to retreat,” she said, “but the best thing for me personally is to be informed.”
During those moments, Ellie recommends “moving your body” and “surround[ing] yourself with the right people.” While those tactics work for her, Ellie added her son “has become my daily motivation” to change for the better.

https://warm1069.com/jewel-opens-up-about-suffering-from-panic-attacks/ | Jewel revealed Monday that she suffered panic attacks when she competed on the sixth season of The Masked Singer.
Appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the “Intuition” singer explained that she’s experienced panic attacks since age 15, adding she “didn’t know what they were” at the time. “And then, when I was homeless, they hit a whole new level,” she shared. “So I started inventing tools and techniques to help me with them.”
Those exercises worked and Jewel said that for “a while,” she didn’t have panic attacks, until she competed on and won The Masked Singer. “I had my first panic attack in ages,” she shared, adding she felt “a little claustrophobic” in the intricate costume she had to wear to shield her identity.
Jewel said she turned to social media to “help kids with anxiety disorders” by “posting more about it just to help people understand what they are and the things they can do to help.”
Kelly Clarkson then revealed she had her first panic attack when she “was pregnant and I had one while driving.” She recalled feeling “terrified,” and says she “froze” because she didn’t know what was happening.
“Your brain literally goes offline,” Jewel added. “It’s not rational… the reasoning part of your brain literally goes offline.” Jewel also explained that a person can bring their mind back “online” by touching, tasting and smelling things, so that the brain has “to deal with the information.”
The Mayo Clinic defines panic attacks as a “sudden episode of intense fear” when there is no danger or trigger to cause it. Symptoms include pounding heart rate, chills, nausea, cramping, shaking and chest pain. A person can feel like they’re having a heart attack or dying, it adds. The cause is largely unknown.

The “drivers license” singer encouraged concertgoers attending Saturday’s show in Detroit to wear corsages and dress fancy for Gracie’s final night. “you guys. i wanted to do a little something special for Gracie’s last show tmrw in detroit,” Olivia tweeted ahead of the show. “Since it’s prom seasonnnn I thought maybe we could turn SOUR TOUR into SOUR PROM???? Would u guys be down? Prom attire?”
Fans showed up dressed to the nines and Olivia, who was dressed in a puffy purple mini dress and black fishnet stockings, raved about the smashing success.
“Gracie’s last night of SOUR TOUR and the first night of SOUR PROM yesterday in detroit,” Olivia wrote on Instagram and shared a carousel of photos of the festivities. Olivia topped off the prom by bestowing two dressed-up fans with SOUR tiaras and sashes. “I had so much fun dressing up and crowning prom queens,” she remarked.
Olivia had so much fun, in fact, she may want to do it again, asking, “nyc would u go to prom with me???”
Olivia plays the Big Apple’s Radio City Music Hall on Tuesday, April 26, and Wednesday, April 27.

https://warm1069.com/pets-oding-on-weed/ | Ruff, ruff, pass out is what happens when your pooch gets into your stash.
Veterinarians aren’t trying to harsh your mellow, — they are warning pet parents to better conceal their cannabis cache, especially edibles.
The edict coincides with a new survey of North American veterinarians that revealed cases of pot poisoning among pets are on the rise and have “increased significantly” since October 2018.
The trend correlates with the movement to legalize the herb for recreational and medical use across the US
Reports compiled by drug researchers at the University of Guelph in Ontario showed that dogs were the most common victim of THC poisoning among pets, though cats were implicated, too.
But their list also noted more unusual animal allies to have overdosed, including iguanas, ferrets, cockatoos and horses.
Most pets sickened by space cakes won’t require hospitalization and nearly always make a full outpatient recovery at home under the care of their owners.
In more severe cases, IV fluids, induced vomiting and doses of activated charcoal — to help absorb the toxin — were used to nurse the animal back to health.
Careful where you stash your stash!

https://warm1069.com/harry-styles-as-it-was-tops-billboard-hot-100/ | Once again, the biggest song in the country is Harry Styles‘ “As It Was,” topping the Billboard Hot 100 for a second week.
The single is officially Harry’s first multi-week chart leader. His previous number one, “Watermelon Sugar,” only went to number one for a single week back in August 2020. He also is the only former member of One Direction to have a song rule the Hot 100 for multiple weeks.
Fans streamed “As It Was” an additional 30 million times and also snatched up 8,400 copies over the past week.
But Mariah Carey might be giving Harry a run for his money. Her “Big Energy” remix with rapper Latto is currently the most-heard song in the nation, leading Billboard‘s Radio Songs chart and #4 on the Hot 100, and could potentially dethrone Harry at the top of next week’s chart.

https://warm1069.com/poster-revealed-for-whitney-houston-movie-i-wanna-dance-with-somebody/ | We finally have our first look at the poster for the upcoming Whitney Houston movie, I Wanna Dance with Somebody.
The movie’s official Twitter account debuted the poster Monday, which shows star Naoimi Ackie dressed in a black leather jacket, white tank, skinny jeans and black ankle boots — the same outfit Whitney wore for her “So Emotional” music video. Her arms are splayed wide and her head is thrown back as she strikes a joyful pose on the poster.
“Don’t you wanna dance?” the account teased. “Whitney Houston, the greatest voice, has an even greater story. I Wanna Dance With Somebody is exclusively in movie theaters December.”
Clive Davis, who signed Houston to Arista Records, is producing the movie and previously told USA Today, “The goal…is to come up with a very realistic, very honest story…as well as capturing her losing battle with addiction, capturing her vocal genius and influence on music and contemporary musicians.” He added that his overall mission with I Wanna Dance is to “present the full story of Whitney Houston impeccably and [ensure] that it will be realistic in every respect.”
I Wanna Dance with Somebody was written by Anthony McCarten, who’s behind the Oscar-winning Bohemian Rhapsody movie, which told the story of another late music legend and Queen frontman Freddie Mercury.

https://warm1069.com/american-idol-recap-luke-and-katy-win-song-contest-save-1-contestant-from-elimination/ | The search for the next American Idol continued Monday night, with a surprising twist.
For the first time ever, the show had a judge’s song contest, which meant that Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie each chose one song for each individual contestant to sing. The contestant then performed one of the songs and guessed which judge picked it. The judge whose song got chosen the most would be declared the winner. Later in the show, it was revealed that this judge would also have the ability to save one contestant from elimination.
After everyone took the stage, the tally revealed that Luke and Katy tied as the winners of the judge’s song contest. When America’s votes left Lady K and Tristen Gressett in the bottom two, Katy and Luke used their powers to advance Lady K into the Top 10.
Here’s the official American Idol season 20 Top 10.
Nicolina: “Since U Been Gone” Kelly Clarkson
Mike Parker: “Chasin’ You” Morgan Wallen
Fritz Hager: “Wonderwall” Oasis
Christian Guardino: “I’m Not The Only One” Sam Smith

https://warm1069.com/disney-unveils-encanto-the-sing-along-film-concert-tour/ | Parents, are you ready to talk about Bruno again? If your kid is obsessed with Disney’s latest animated film, Encanto, its vibrant songs are hitting the road in a one-of-a-kind concert event.
Disney Concerts announced Tuesday it’s teamed with Live Nation for the upcoming Encanto: The Sing-Along Film Concert Tour, which begins this summer. The tour starts in Ridgefield, Washington, on July 18 and spans 32 North American stops before coming to a close on August 28 in Chicago, Illinois. Other pit stops include Phoenix, Dallas, Tampa and other major American cities.
What makes this event unique is that concertgoers will be able to watch the Encanto movie, in full, on the venue’s gigantic screen. While everyone is encouraged to sing along with the film’s original songs, an on-stage band will also provide live music to make the experience more immersive.
Encanto‘s songs, which were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, quickly took over social media, in particular the record-breaking “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” which topped Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart for five weeks — the longest #1 streak of any Disney song in history. Other standout songs include Jessica Darrow‘s “Surface Pressure,” which peaked at number eight on the Hot 100 and sold over a million copies, and the Oscar-nominated track, “Dos Oruguitas.”
In addition, the Encanto soundtrack was the best-selling album in America for over a month, topping the Billboard 200 albums chart for five consecutive weeks.
Tickets for Encanto: The Sing-Along Film Concert Tour go on sale starting Friday, April 29th at 10am local time on Live Nation, which also lists the full schedule of dates.
Disney is the parent company of ABC News.

https://warm1069.com/ed-sheeran-and-dua-lipas-songs-are-the-most-played-at-amazon-warehouses/ | If you work at an Amazon warehouse in the U.K., chances are you are very familiar with Ed Sheeran and Dua Lipa‘s songs. Their music tops the list of the most-played songs at “industrial premises.”
British publication iNews obtained the report from PRS for Music, which tracks the royalties artists make when their music is played in the background of these British facilities, which generates about $22.8 million annually. The two most-played songs on this list are Ed’s “Bad Habits” and Dua’s “Levitating.”
The study also found that Glass Animals‘ viral hit “Heat Waves” was the third most-repeated song in warehouses.
PRS also noted that a Mindlab International study found that listening to pop music at work helps motivate those working more active jobs by improving their speed and accuracy. Most interestingly, PRS believes music containing a dance-like beat “enhances proof-reading skills,” which might explain why “Bad Habits” and “Levitating” are respectively first and second on the list.
The outlet also noted the money made by warehouse streaming helped supplement the earnings artists lost when COVID-19 slammed the brakes on touring and other live performances. Overall, revenue for the live music sector dipped by 29 percent in 2021.

https://warm1069.com/ed-sheeran-to-perform-at-queen-elizabeths-platinum-jubilee-peoples-pageant/ | As one of the U.K.’s biggest music stars, it’s no surprise that Ed Sheeran has been tapped to perform in the People’s Pageant, a massive spectacle that will mark the finale of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Britain’s Press Association detailed the June 5 event, which will take place in front of Buckingham Palace and in its the surrounding streets. More than 10,000 people will be involved in the event, which will conclude the four-day holiday celebrating the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.
“I’m proud to be part of the celebration and it’s going to be a great opportunity to bring everyone together,” Ed said in a statement.
The event will be staged in four acts: For Queen and Country, The Time of Our Lives, Let’s Celebrate, and Happy and Glorious; Ed will appear during the final act.
Organizers say a billion people around the globe will watch the Pageant, which, among other things, will feature a fleet of iconic James Bond cars, 200 horses, a huge helium balloon, BMX cyclists, and a 20-foot-tall puppet of the Queen, surrounded by puppet Corgis.

https://warm1069.com/get-engaged-friends-style/ | For a limited time only, you can get engaged in the Friends apartment, courtesy of The Friends Experience in New York City.
While it’s very endearing that Chandler thought it mattered what he said or where he said it before he popped the question to Monica but realized that the only thing that mattered was how happy she made him, yadda yadda yadda, this is a *big* deal, so take the chance if you can.
In collaboration with jewelry retailer Zales, The Friends Experience in NYC is allowing fans to propose in the iconic space. “Visit The FRIENDS™ Experience: The One in New York from April 28th – May 1st for a chance to recreate the iconic proposal where Monica got down on one knee,” TFE announced on Instagram on Wednesday, April 20. “Monica’s apartment will set the stage for your very own #SheProposed moment.” Zales echoed its partner’s remarks, adding that you need to “See it for yourself.”
Friends fanatics across social media are living for this concept. “I really wish I was getting married,” commented one fan on Facebook. “What an awesome way to be proposed to.” Though, there were a few who pointed out the differences between the proposal on TV and the one depicted in The Friends Experience’s photo of choice. “She should be kneeling with him,” said one Facebook user, since both Chandler and Monica (aka Mondler) were kneeling on the ground during the on-screen engagement. “HE SHOULD HAVE DONE IT IN THE LIVING AREA LIKE MONDLER,” commented a separate user on Instagram. No matter what the individual proposal looks like, it’ll still be made extra special by the backdrop. | true | true | both | warm1069 | 20220426 |

The trek currently is scheduled to visit 11 cities, and is mapped out through a November 11-12 stand in Atlanta, although more dates will be added soon.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday, April 29, at 12 p.m. ET, while pre-sale tickets will be available starting Wednesday, April 27, at 12 p.m. ET. Visit TheB52s.com for more information.
In celebration of the impending farewell tour, The B-52s will be performing on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night. In addition, the band has announced that a long-awaited official documentary about the influential New Wave group will be released in early 2023.
“Who knew what started as a way to have some fun and play music for our friends’ at house parties in Athens [Georgia] in 1977 would evolve into over 45 years of making music and touring the world,” says B-52s singer/keyboardist Kate Pierson. “It’s been cosmic.”
Adds singer Fred Schneider, “No one likes to throw a party more than we do, but after almost a half-century on the road, it’s time for one last blow-out with our friends and family…our fans. And with KC & The Sunshine Band and The Tubes on board, it’s going to be one hell of a farewell party at these concerts.”

https://warm1069.com/the-novelization-of-the-jagged-little-pill-musical-is-here/ | If you were unable to watch Jagged Little Pill on Broadway, the musical based on Alanis Morissette‘s breakthrough album, you can now enjoy the compelling story in book form. The two-time Tony Award-winning musical is now a young adult novel.
Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody, who co-wrote the musical with Alanis, told ABC Audio it “was just a pleasure” turning it into a YA novel. “It’s definitely new territory for me,” she added. Cody, along with Alanis, teamed with author Eric Smith to “expand these characters’ worlds” and flesh them out even more.
Smith says it was “wildly exciting” to work with Alanis and Cody, adding the latter told him to “take more risks” with the story. “I printed that [email],” he laughed.
The author said Jagged Little Pill, the musical, resonated with him. One reason is that one of the protagonists is “a transracial adoptee,” just like him, and the other being Alanis’ 1995 album had a strong impact on him.
Alanis’ album featured “this huge emotional swell of wanting to be heard and wanting people to listen to you and pay attention to you,” Smith explained, adding, “The musical brings that to the stage.”
Now that Jagged Little Pill has gone from musical to YA novel, what’s next?
“The book is sort of inspiring me to think about possibilities for the screen… Now I’m thinking, well, what else can we do?” Cody teased.
As for Smith, he hopes Jagged Little Pill‘s success story inspires more artists to make their own musicals. “I’d love to see a Ben Folds jukebox musical,” he offered. “I think Melissa Etheridge could do the same thing because her songs are so full of longing.”
Jagged Little Pill the novel is available now.

https://warm1069.com/ed-sheeran-shares-behind-the-scenes-video-of-filming-2step-music-video/ | What was it like filming the “2step” music video in 20-degree weather? Ed Sheeran answered that question while treating fans to a behind-the-scenes look at the making of his newest clip that was posted Tuesday on his official YouTube channel.
As previously reported, “2step” was filmed in Kyiv, Ukraine, prior to Russia’s invasion of the country, which has reduced portions of the capital city featured in the music video into rubble. The Grammy winner has since pledged to donate royalties from YouTube streams to ongoing humanitarian efforts for the Ukrainian people.
“Come behind the scenes with me on a video shoot I’ll remember for the rest of my life,” Sheeran captioned the new making-of video, which starts with Ed dressing appropriately for the chilly, winter weather. “I have all my thermal gear on,” the singer explains as the video cuts to the bundled-up production crew directing the shoot.
The video also shares more images of the city around the singer-songwriter, from lit-up shops to apartment buildings to intact bus stops and billboards. Other clips show him bonding with the extras, reviewing footage and, finally, toasting with a warm drink once he’s satisfied all his shots.
The “Shivers” singer previously announced that he’ll donate royalties from YouTube streams of the “2step” remix, which features rapper Lil Baby, to DEC’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal, which works to provide food, water, shelter and medical assistance to those in need.
“Ukraine is a proud and resilient country and I’m grateful to have had the chance to film my video there,” Ed previously expressed. “I stand will Ukraine.”

https://warm1069.com/jessica-biel-says-she-is-really-proud-of-her-marriage-to-justin-timberlake/ | Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake are among the latest celebrity couples to be hit by breakup rumors, but, ahead of their 10th anniversary, those rumors were sufficiently debunked.
Biel spoke to Access Hollywood about her marriage and paid no mind to the unsavory reports. “I sometimes feel like 10 years has just flown by in the blink of an eye and other times I feel like, ‘Oh, my gosh, 10 years, that’s a really substantial amount of someone’s life,'” the Candy star said of her marriage. “I just feel really proud of it.”
Biel continued, “We’ve had our ups and downs like everybody and I’m still the happiest and loving my life.”
These comments put to rest the recent trouble-in-paradise reports that claimed the two were headed toward a multi-million dollar divorce.
Justin and Jessica’s relationship was tested in 2019, after he was seen cozying up to his Palmer co-star Alisha Wainwright. The “Cry Me a River” singer apologized on Instagram, and in his post he described his behavior as “a strong lapse of judgment” that was fueled by alcohol, while attesting that “nothing happened between me and my costar.”
He added, “I apologize to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassing situation, and I am focused on being the best husband and father I can be.”
Justin and Jessica wed in 2012, and share two sons, seven-year-old Silas and two-year-old Phineas.

https://warm1069.com/music-notes-camila-cabello-ed-sheeran-justin-timberlake-and-more/ | Camila Cabello is delighted that Billboard crowned “Bam Bam,” her song with Ed Sheeran, the fifth-most popular song in the world outside the U.S. “I’m so damn grateful,” she said in an Instagram Story. “This song was me coming out of pain and into joy, from girlhood to womanhood, and putting in a song the wisdom that has been passed down to me.” She also called “Bam Bam” a “family heirloom” because it contains her family’s life lessons.
Speaking of Ed, he’s heading to one of the U.K.’s biggest summer concerts — Capital’s Summertime Ball. He will take over Wembley Stadium on June 12. Other artists include Harry Styles, “Budapest” singer George Ezra, Tate McRae, Lauren Spencer-Smith, Anne-Marie and others. Tickets go on sale on April 28.
Jessica Biel is completely aware the hairstyle she has in Hulu’s upcoming true-crime series Candy resembles that of husband Justin Timberlake‘s from his NSYNC days. “We laughed about it because it looked like the early days of those beautiful curls,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “Let’s get serious, he had beautiful curls.”
Jennifer Lopez is a fan of Ted Lasso and shouted out the Apple TV+ series in a new Instagram post. Lip-syncing a joke about how adulthood stinks, she captioned her post, “Me patiently waiting for the next season of Ted Lasso #adultingbelike.” The series regularly name-drops celebrities, including at least one instance of J.Lo herself getting a shout-out, during season 2.

https://warm1069.com/wicked-movie-starring-ariana-grande-to-be-split-into-two-films/ | Fans anxiously awaiting to see the Wicked musical turn into a Hollywood blockbuster will now enjoy double the fun after its director decided to split the film into two installments.
Director Jon M. Chu took to Twitter Tuesday to make the big announcement, saying it would be a disservice to cram the Broadway adaptation into a single film.
“As we prepared the production over the last year, it became impossible to wrestle the story of Wicked into a single film without doing some real damage to it,” he said in a statement. “As we tried to cut songs or trim characters, those decisions began to feel like fatal compromises to the source material that has entertained us all for so many years.”
“We decided to give ourselves a bigger canvas and make not just one Wicked movie but two! With more space, we can tell the story of Wicked as it was meant to be told while bringing even more depth,” the statement continued.
As previously reported, Ariana Grande will play Glinda while Tony Award-winning actress Cynthia Erivo has been cast as Elphaba, or the Wicked Witch of the West.
Chu said of the leading ladies’ commitment to making the film, “[We] pledge to create nothing less than an experience that honors its foundation for all fans who’ve waited for this movie.” He then unveiled the first film’s release date, saying the first installment arrives in December 2024.
Wicked, a musical retelling of The Wizard of Oz originally starring Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel as Glinda and Elphaba, respectively, made its Broadway debut in 2003.

https://warm1069.com/so-many-after-life-choices/ | Burial is always an option, or cremation, or composting, but what about becoming a reef ball?
A nonprofit in Florida has a unique, eco-friendly way to restore coral reefs while simultaneously providing an eternal resting place to those whose final wish is to use their remains to benefit marine habitats impacted by climate change.
Climate change has led to issues worldwide, including in oceans, where rising temperatures have resulted in the loss of coral.
According to a 2020 report, corals can be found in more than 100 countries. And while they cover only 0.2% of the ocean’s floor, they support at least 25% of marine life. However, rising ocean temperatures have led to the loss of 14% of global corals.
That’s where Florida-based Eternal Reefs comes in.
The company creates a reef ball with the cremated remains of a person (or pet) and drops them to the ocean floor to provide marine life with a new ecosystem.
Reef balls are round and hollow, and 80% of their weight is located in the lower quarter of the reef, making them stable underwater.
They’re made of a specialized concrete mixture that brings the pH content of the reef ball close to neutral. That, combined with the textured outer surface, allows microorganisms to land, burrow and mature.
Fish also migrate to the reef balls when they’re placed on the ocean floor, and depending on conditions in the water, reefs could start growing within a few weeks.
Over time, the reef balls mature and will continue developing to support marine life forever.

https://warm1069.com/first-look-at-harry-styles-psychological-drama-dont-worry-darling-is-finally-here/ | Harry Styles next stars in Don’t Worry Darling and fans finally got their first sneak peek of the upcoming psychological thriller.
Variety reports that a clip was showcased during CinemaCon, which opens showing Harry and co-star Florence Pugh — who play a husband and wife — enjoying a romantic cuddle on their bed. The movie is set in the 1950s and it’s revealed Harry’s character is working on something called “the Victory Project,” which is said will change the world.
But Pugh’s character grows increasingly suspicious of the Victory Project and begins asking questions — which makes her look crazy. As her reputation tanks, she turns on her husband because she no longer trusts him.
Another scene shows the “As It Was” singer in his car and shouting, but it is unknown why. In addition, the trailer promises plenty of hot and heavy scenes that are sure to make you blush.
Don’t Worry Darling is directed by Olivia Wilde, who is romantically linked to Harry, and she had nothing but praise for him. She called the Grammy winner “an up-and-coming actor with no other career that I am aware of, and he is nothing short of a revelation in this part.”
She also said her upcoming movie is “a love letter to movies that push the boundaries of our imagination” and borrows elements from The Matrix, Inception and The Truman Show.
“What would it take for you to give up that life, that perfect life. What are you really willing to sacrifice to do what’s right?” she teased. “Are you willing to dismantle the system that’s designed to serve you?”
Don’t Worry Darling is due out September 23.

https://warm1069.com/lauren-spencer-smith-to-perform-present-at-the-juno-awards/ | Lauren Spencer-Smith is finally getting her Juno Awards moment.
In 2020, right around the time the Canadian singer/songwriter made her debut on American Idol, her 2019 live album, Unplugged, Vol. 1, was nominated for a Juno, the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys. She was just 16 at the time. Unfortunately, she didn’t get to attend the ceremony because it was canceled due to the pandemic, and when the winners were announced, she ended up losing to Canadian icon Bryan Adams.
But now, Lauren’s been announced as one of the stars who’ll be appearing at the 2022 Juno Awards, which are taking place in Toronto on May 15. She’ll perform her global hit “Fingers Crossed” and also present an award.
As previously reported, Shawn Mendes will also appear to accept the International Achievement Award, and Avril Lavigne will perform.
Hosted by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu, the Junos will stream live globally at CBCMusic.ca/junos, as well as CBC Music’s social platforms.

https://warm1069.com/why-wont-michael-buble-consider-a-long-term-las-vegas-residency-blame-jay-leno/ | Michael Bublé launches his six-night limited engagement at Resorts World Las Vegas tonight, but he insists that it’s not a tryout for a longer and more lucrative residency, like the kind that Katy Perry is doing at the property. But why doesn’t he want to do that? He says it’s because of something a comedy legend told him 20 years ago.
“I used to open for Jay Leno, and I would ask him his advice about what I could do to have a great career,” Michael tells ABC Audio. “And he would always say the same thing: ‘Take the time to travel, and go into people’s backyards and play for them. You’ll belong to them. You’ll be tangible to them. They’ll see that when you tell them you appreciate them, you really do, because you took the time to show up.”
For that reason, Michael says, he’d rather go to his fans than have them come to him.
“I want to go to 45 countries and…taste the food and experience the culture,” he enthuses. “I want my kids to see it. I want them to know what a big, beautiful world this is. And I love getting to connect to these gorgeous souls all over the planet…If you take a residency in Vegas for 10 years and they build a theater….I just don’t think you’re doing that.”
And while Michael admits that he’ll “never say never” to a longer residency, he feels that for now, he’ll be happy “getting to…do these six shows and have this really wonderful, intimate performance I don’t often get a chance to do.”
He adds, laughing, “For now, a couple weeks is plenty for me!” (AUDIO IS ABC 1-ON-1)
Michael’s Vegas shows run from April 27 through May 7, and will be followed by his Higher world tour.

https://warm1069.com/adam-lambert-recalls-feeling-like-a-fish-out-of-water-when-he-first-entered-the-music-industry/ | Adam Lambert has found his stride in the music industry, but he admits that wasn’t always the case. He says he felt like “a fish out of water” when he first stepped into the limelight.
Speaking to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the “If I Had You” singer recalled his American Idol journey and spoke about how much has changed in the nearly 15 years since he placed second.
“I’m not trying to virtue signal. I’ve been a queer person who entered the music industry as a fish out of water,” said Adam. “It’s interesting to now, over a decade later, just shift up the work environment and make everyone feel represented and comfortable.”
Adam recalled that his background in theater and the auditioning process might be the reason why he is a household name. When he first auditioned before Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Kara DioGuardi, he decided to perform Michael Jackson‘s “Rock with You.”
“They looked at me and squinted and didn’t say much. That was not a good sign. I’d been doing theater for ages. I knew my way around an audition,” he remarked. “So I gave them something else. That something else was Queen‘s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’ I read the room. The rest is history.”
While Adam ultimately was runner up during his season on Idol, he said he was given something better than a win. “There has been a core group of fans that have been with me since the beginning,” he explained. “I recognize them at shows. I know everyone’s face. It feels safe, like a family reunion or family holiday. I still feel very flattered and humbled.”
He also teased his forthcoming album. “It will be a concept album in the tradition of Tommy or Jesus Christ Superstar,” he said. “Fans will be in for a treat.”

https://warm1069.com/get-a-first-look-at-sara-bareilles-in-into-the-woods/ | Sara Bareilles is ready to jump into her next musical, playing the Baker’s Wife in an upcoming Into The Woods stage performance.
The “Brave” singer stars opposite of Neil Patrick Harris, who has been cast as the Baker, in the New York City Center Encores! production. The musical is set to run from May 4 through May 15.
In a rehearsal sneak peak, Sara tells Playbill that rehearsals were grueling as the cast puts in a lot of hours to put forth the best version possible. “What we’re doing is hard,” she remarked.
“It is mad complicated,” Harris added, noting he was a big fan of the musical but had no idea just how many moving parts that go into bringing the stage production to life.
Playbill also shared footage of the full cast performing “Ever After” — which shows Sara dancing around in her prosthetic baby bump — and “Stay with Me.”
Sara of course is an old hand at Broadway musicals. She wrote and also starred in the musical Waitress, for which she earned both a Tony and Grammy nomination.
Tickets for Into the Woods, which runs for two weeks only, are on sale now on the venue’s website. Proof of vaccination and masks are mandatory.

https://warm1069.com/lady-gaga-unveils-original-song-for-top-gun-maverick-hold-my-hand/ | Lady Gaga’s voice will be heard in the upcoming Tom Cruise action thriller Top Gun: Maverick. She announced Wednesday that she performed the track “Hold My Hand” after cryptically tweeting out its lyrics at the start of the week.
It all started on Monday, when the Grammy winner wrote, “Hold my hand everything will be ok I heard from the heavens that clouds have been grey.” The tweet energized her fanbase because the lyrics didn’t match any other her previous songs. Then, the next day, she tweeted out, “Why’d you take so long to tell me you need me.”
She kept the chain of mysterious lyrics going on Wednesday by sharing an image of handwritten lyrics, which spell out “I see that you’re bleeding / You don’t need to show me again.”
It then culminated with her exciting reveal, that she appears on the soundtrack for Top Gun: Maverick. Her song “Hold My Hand” arrives May 3 and is available to pre-save now.
Reports sparked last week that she wrote a song for the action flick after a fan stumbled upon a purported movie poster that credits Gaga in the “music by” section and shared a video of it to his Twitter. Her name was sandwiched between composers Harold Faltermeyer and Hans Zimmer.
Top Gun: Maverick hits theaters on May 27.

Dough is said to have done well with kids, cats, and dogs in his previous home, but our staff has noticed some suspicious behavior with other dogs, so we suspect Doug may be dog selective and would need to meet any existing dogs in the household before going home.

https://warm1069.com/olivia-rodrigo-adele-and-selena-gomez-honored-in-peoples-the-beautiful-issue/ | People magazine has finalized its list of the celebrities it says are the most beautiful inside and out, and among the names are Olivia Rodrigo, Adele and Selena Gomez.
For Olivia, the magazine hailed the 19-year-old singer for shaking up the Grammy Awards with her breakthrough debut album SOUR. “The process of making SOUR and putting it out in the world really challenged me, and I’ve grown so much, and I’ve learned so much more about myself,” she told the outlet. “I’m a more confident person because of it.”
Right behind her in the issue is Adele, who was highlighted for her massively successful fourth studio album, 30. The 15-time Grammy winner said making the heartbreak album “was all of our journey, not just mine,” and that she is “very proud of myself for sticking to my guns and putting out an album that was about something so personal to me.”
As previously reported, the pandemic delayed her hotly anticipated album and, despite its November release, it went on to become the best-selling album of 2021.
As for Selena, the 29-year-old makes the list because of her efforts to speak out against harmful beauty standards and their effects on mental health. She said of her Rare Beauty brand, “Beauty really does come from how you feel about yourself… I want to celebrate everyone’s uniqueness.” The Only Murders in the Building star was also saluted for her music and producing career.
The issue, which has Dame Helen Mirren gracing the cover, hits the newsstands on Friday. The magazine will also celebrate beautiful friendships, celebrity pets and more.

https://warm1069.com/see-taylor-swift-in-the-trailer-for-david-o-russells-crime-thriller-amsterdam/ | We finally know more about Taylor Swift‘s role in David O. Russell‘s latest film.
Not much was known about the film — even its title — when it was first announced in June, but all that changed at CinemaCon this week. Variety reports that Taylor will star in the film, titled Amsterdam, the first trailer for which debuted at the industry event. According to the trade, the “original romantic crime epic” is set in the 30s and that centers on three characters — played by Christian Bale, Margot Robbie and John David Washington — who “find themselves at the center of one of the most secret plots in American history.”
The trailer shows a weeping Taylor, who mourns her father as Chris Rock tells her, “You have a dead white man in a box. It’s not even a coffin, it has no lid.” He continues as Taylor sobs, “You know who’s going to get in trouble? The Black men.”
Taylor is part of a huge star-studded cast also includes Rami Malek, Zoe Saldana, Anya Taylor-Joy, Mike Myers, Robert De Niro, Michael Shannon and Timothy Olyphant. This marks her first big-screen role following 2019’s critically panned movie musical, CATS.
Taylor also previously appeared in 2014’s The Giver, 2012’s The Lorax and 2010’s Valentine’s Day.
Amsterdam is due out November 4.

https://warm1069.com/watch-trailer-for-george-michael-freedom-uncut-documentary/ | Following the news that a new documentary about George Michael, narrated by the late star himself, would be heading to movie theaters worldwide on June 22, we now have the first trailer for the project.
The movie, George Michael Freedom Uncut, focuses on the period after the release of his 1987 Faith album made George a massive superstar, through the time following the release of his 1990 follow up, Listen Without Prejudice: Vol 1. During that time, George fought for his artistic freedom and lived through the devastating deaths of both his mother and his first real love.
In the trailer, we hear George say, “I can’t really explain how overwhelming that kind of hysteria can be,” along with footage of him performing for stadiums full of screaming fans. He also expresses his desire to “leave songs that will mean something to other generations.”
There’s also footage of George’s musical collaborators and celebrity friends talking about him and his artistry, including the supermodel stars of his “Freedom 90!” video — Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista — as well as Elton John, Stevie Wonder, James Corden, Ricky Gervais, Mary J. Blige, Tony Bennett and fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier.
At one point, Liam Gallagher of the British band Oasis calls George a “modern-day Elvis.”

https://warm1069.com/phil-collins-accuses-ex-wife-of-fraud-in-ongoing-battle-over-mansion-proceeds/ | Phil Collins and his ex-wife Orianne Cevey faced off — online, at least — Wednesday in front of a judge, in the latest chapter of their ongoing multi-million-dollar legal battle over Phil’s Miami mansion.
The New York Post reports that Phil and Orianne are fighting over the proceeds to the mansion, which he sold in January of 2021 for $40 million. Phil believes Orianne has no right to half the proceeds from the house; she thinks otherwise. In their latest court filing, Phil’s lawyers accuse Orianne of “committing a fraud” when it comes to the various affidavits she’s filed in connection with the case.
Phil and Orianne were married from 1999 to 2008. Orianne then married Charles Mejjati, but divorced him, she claims, after Phil promised to give her half of the proceeds from the Miami mansion if she split up with Mejjati. She also claims that Phil asked her to move in with him and said he’d “take care” of her.
Phil denies ever promising her half the house. However, the two did reconcile in 2016 and were together until 2020, when Orianne secretly married another man named Thomas Bates — who, court papers reveal, she “picked from a male escort site.”
She then moved Bates into the Miami mansion when Phil was in Europe; the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer was forced to legally evict them. Phil then sold the mansion and moved to Switzerland.
Phil’s lawyers say there are “literally dozens of additional irreconcilable conflicts between” Orianne’s position in the case and things she stated in 2016 when she divorced Mejjati.
Orianne was Phil’s third wife. They have two children: 21-year-old Nic — who drummed in Phil’s place during his farewell tour with Genesis — and Matthew, 17.

https://warm1069.com/shawn-mendes-says-trying-to-be-the-best-aint-really-doing-it-for-me-anymore/ | Last week, Shawn Mendes took to Twitter to tell fans that he “finds it hard to feel like I’m not failing,” and reveal that he “constantly feels like” he’s “either flying or drowning.” Now, he’s turned to Instagram to tell fans that, while his mood hasn’t improved, he’s now going to stop trying so hard.
“life can be hard..i’ve been going through it lately,” he wrote, alongside a photo of himself playing guitar. “Tryna be the best ain’t really doing it for me anymore if i’m honest. Turns out just being me feels a whole lot better.”
He continues, “I know there’s a lot of people out there struggling, i hope you get the support you need. Maybe some of you are the support others need right now..nothing beats a friend who really sees and cares about you.”
One of Shawn’s good friends, John Mayer, responded in the comments, “Love you dearly.”
But despite Shawn’s mental struggles, he’s planning to co-host and perform on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Friday. He’s also preparing for his Wonder world tour, and will appear at the Juno Awards in his hometown of Toronto on May 15 to accept the International Achievement Award.

https://warm1069.com/janet-jackson-lists-her-nyc-apartment-for-9-million/ | If you want to take an “Escapade” through one of Janet Jackson‘s homes, you’re in luck. She just listed her sprawling apartment in New York City for a cool $9 million.
Mansion Global reports the upscale 34th-floor property is located on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, and offers breathtaking, panoramic views of the city skyline an Central Park, thanks to its floor-to-ceiling windows. The spacious, 2,094 square foot apartment comes with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one half bath.
The residence also includes a marble bath, walk-in closets, a library, gourmet kitchen, two entrances designed for entertaining and an open concept living space.
The perks continue with the building itself. It’s attached to the Trump International Hotel, which offers a state-of-the-art gym, spa, swimming pool, housekeeping services, 24-hour room service from French chef Jean-Georges, valet parking, concierge, and a full-time doorman.
“Whenever entering my apartment of 25 years, I always treasured my home’s wonderful location and the breathtaking views that capture the magic and excitement of New York,” Janet’s quoted in the listing as saying. “Stepping through its threshold instantly made me feel so tranquil and at peace — so many memories.”
The “All For You” singer purchased the apartment in 1998 for $2.8 million but she hasn’t lived in it since 2019, so she put it on the market for $8.995 million. The reason Janet decided to part with her home is because “it’s time for someone else to enjoy it and make new memories,” her spokesperson said.

https://warm1069.com/justin-bieber-goes-into-uncle-mode-when-holding-jason-kennedys-newborn-son/ | It’s no secret Justin Bieber adores babies and wants a family of his own, but for now he’s content with cuddling his friends’ newborns.
In a series of sweet snaps, the “Ghost” singer is seen bonding with friend Jason Kennedy‘s baby boy, Ryver Rhodes. “LOVE YOU RYVER 4 LIFE I WILL PROTECT YOU!,” Justin captioned the photos of the two cuddling on the couch.
Justin then returned with more photos that showed him grinning as he bottle fed the infant. “More pictures of me and mister RYVER RHODES KENNEDY,” he captioned the pic.
Kennedy previously designated Justin as Ryver’s uncle and it appears the “Peaches” singer is taking his new title very seriously.
As for when Justin and wife Hailey Bieber will have kids of their own, the two have refused to provide a timeline. The couple wed in 2018 and have been open about their desire to have kids, which has caused them to weather pregnancy rumors now and again — most recently following the 2022 Grammy Awards, when Hailey wore a flowing white Saint Laurent dress to the event. The dress’ loose fit sparked rumors that Hailey was hiding a baby bump, but the model shut down the rumors.
Justin previously said he’s “not in a rush” to start a family and his comments were supported by Hailey’s recent interview with WSJ, in which she remarked, “I think ideally in the next couple of years we would try. But there’s a reason they call it try, right? You don’t know how long that process is ever going to take.”

https://warm1069.com/ava-max-releases-80s-infused-dance-track-maybe-youre-the-problem/ | Ava Max dropped her brand-new song, “Maybe You’re the Problem,” on Thursday, which doubles as a breakup song and a dance track.
Title track of Ava’s forthcoming album of the same name offers a nostalgic ’80s-style beat and savage lyrics about what really doomed her relationship.
“All the things I heard from your ex/ Now they make a whole lotta sense/ Already feel bad for your next that has to put up with you,” the “Motto” singer declares. Ava also reveals her friends hated her ex, who had a massive ego and would drink and make everything about him.
Ava also teased a forthcoming music video by sharing a clip to Instagram, which features her seductively eating a snow cone with another man, which she captioned, “tomorrow.”
While she didn’t name any names about who inspired the breakup anthem, Ava previously told Billboard her new album was born out of “the hardest year of my life,” declaring, “I’ve never written anything so personal and it’s probably some of the best music I’ve ever written.”
A release date for Ava’s second studio album has yet to be announced. Her last record, Heaven & Hell, was released in September 2020.

https://warm1069.com/camila-cabello-explains-why-its-harmful-to-tell-those-struggling-to-choose-happiness/ | Camila Cabello hopes her fans never tell those who are struggling with their mental health to just look on the bright side of things. She explained comments like that don’t help, and can actually make the situation worse.
Camila, who has regularly spoken out about her own struggles with anxiety, posted a note from another account on her Instagram Story that reads, “Love these lunatics who say things like ‘choose happiness!’ As if I saw happiness on the menu and was like, ‘none for me thank you. I will have the depression with a side of anxiety, please.'”
“Tru,” Camila commented in her post. “Sometimes we need help and saying s*** like that only makes us feel shame and guilt. Mental health is real.”
Camila previously opened up about how she was able to overcome a serious battle with anxiety, saying that just going to therapy was not working. “I was literally not functioning. I felt not able to work,” she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.
Camila explained she was only able to regain control after she built a strong support network and worked through her anxiety once she figured out what was triggering it. “I think sometimes mental health stuff can make you isolate, and then that isolation makes your mental health a lot worse,” she noted.
Added the “Bam Bam” singer, “I’m in a much better place right now in terms of anxiety and mental health, like the best I’ve ever been.”

https://warm1069.com/carly-rae-jepsen-announces-release-date-of-new-track-western-wind/ | Carly Rae Jepen is back and getting ready to release her new music, promising fans will not have to wait too much longer to hear it.
The “Call Me Maybe” singer announced her song, “Western Wind,” drops March 6 and shared the link where you can pre-save it before it goes live. She also showed off several promotional photos, one of which is a black and white image of her dressed in a lace dress and staring contemplatively at the camera. The other is of her in a flowing, golden gown standing on top of a large tree branch.
Carly Rae teased some of the song lyrics on Instagram, writing, “But could you give me peace of mind if I return to you in time my golden arrow.” This isn’t the first time she leaked a few verses. She also tantalized fans on Tuesday with some more lyrics and an additional promotional shot of her in a saffron-colored dress and overlooking what appears to be an orchard.
Carly previewed “Western Wind” when she performed at Coachella, but she remains coy on whether or not this is the first single of a new album or just a standalone.
The “Good Time” singer’s last album was Dedicated Side B, which she released in May 2020. “Western Wind” arrives next Friday, May 6, at midnight ET.

https://warm1069.com/ed-sheeran-announces-2step-remix-with-ukrainian-band-antytila/ | The Ukrainian band that reached out to Ed Sheeran to perform at last month’s Concert for Ukraine will now be collaborating with the British singer on an all new remix of “2step.”
The band Antytila is currently fighting the Russian invasion of their country, which started February 24, and previously offered to perform live from the front lines during last month’s charity concert. While they ultimately did not perform, Ed is giving them a new opportunity to have their voices heard.
“Over the next few weeks there’s going to be some incredible versions of ‘2step’ dropping featuring artists from all over the globe,” Ed announced via his Instagram story on Thursday. “Starting with Ukraine’s @antytila_official.”
Antytila has since teased a clip of the forthcoming track — which features all-new lyrics they sing in Ukrainian — confirming that it will arrive on May 2.
Although Antytila wasn’t able to perform with Ed at Concert for Ukraine, the “Shivers” singer had reached out to them on TikTok. “I love you. I stand with you,” he said in the video. “I’m sending you lots of love.”
As previously reported, the music video for Ed’s “2step” was filmed in Ukraine’s capital city of Kyiv prior to Russia’s invasion, which has now reduced portions of the capital to rubble. The Grammy winner is donating the song’s YouTube streaming royalties to DEC’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal, which funds ongoing humanitarian efforts in the war-torn country.

https://warm1069.com/justin-biebers-mom-praises-hailey-for-opening-up-about-her-health-scare/ | Justin Bieber‘s mother is proud his wife, Hailey, for coming forward about her recent health scare.
Last month, the 25-year-old model suffered “stroke-like symptoms” and was rushed to the hospital. It was later discovered she had a blood clot in her brain and a hole in her heart. She has since recovered.
Hailey opened up about her health journey Wednesday via a 12-minute video that she posted on Instagram. Justin’s mom, Pattie Mallette, share the clip to her Instagram story and expressed her relief.
“Grateful you are recovering well. God is good,” Pattie wrote. “Thank you for sharing your story. So brave. I love you so much @haileybieber.”
In the video, Hailey recalled what happened the day of her health scare, dubbing it “the scariest moment” of her life, and revealed that she had a transient ischemic attack (TIA) on March 10. Further tests later discovered that she had a patent foramen ovale (PFO), an opening between the upper chambers of her heart.
Hailey explained that her mini-stroke was caused by a blood clot escaping through the hole in her heart, which was about half an inch in size, and traveled to her brain. Hailey underwent additional surgery to close the hole.
“I just feel really relieved that we were able to figure everything out, that we were able to get it closed, that I will be able to just move on from this really scary situation and just live my life,” she expressed.
Justin previously opened up about his wife’s health scare during a recent performance in Denver. “Life randomly throws you curveballs,” he told the crowd. “It’s been really scary, but I know for a fact that God has her in the palm of his hands. And that’s a good thing.”

https://warm1069.com/have-you-ever-been-catfished/ | Or are you worried a friend is being catfished?
Here are some signs to help you from getting “caught”
Be mindful of what you are sharing with your social media feed. Scammers analyze your interests and hobbies to formulate better a romantic interest that will tug on your heartstrings.
Analyze the social media profiles of every love interest. They probably are a scammer if they have seemingly genuine photos and interests but have created their profile in the last year and have few followers. Use reverse image search tools to find out if their pictures appear anywhere else on the web. Heck, you might even contact the real person in their photos!
Excuses are a red flag for online dating. People looking for a real connection will make dating and communication a priority. If a person is constantly making excuses for not being able to video chat or meet in person, it’s time to start swiping again.
Bad grammar is common for scammers, although not exclusive to them. Many scammers operate from other countries, either using English as a second language or using a translating app.
Never share money, personal information, or explicit photos with someone you have yet to meet in person.
The FBI and FTC urge the public to proceed with caution while dating online, scrutinizing every dating match. Take a look at these helpful guidelines to ensure your assets are not contributing to next year’s Internet Crime Report.

https://warm1069.com/ava-max-says-her-upcoming-album-is-basically-heartbreak-on-the-dance-floor/ | On Thursday, Ava Max released her new single and video “Maybe You’re the Problem,” the first release from her upcoming new album. And she tells Apple Music 1‘s Zane Lowe that the album documents her feelings about the end of a long relationship that she says nobody knew.
“Early last year is when the album actually really took shape because I started writing very differently,” the “Kings & Queens” singer tells Zane. “I was in a really long relationship and no one knows this about me because I never talk about my personal life…but then it changed.”
“This album is about my life and what I went thought in the last year and heartbreak…it’s basically heartbreak on the dance floor,” she adds. “It’s gonna make you cry and dance at the same time.”
But despite going through that, Ava assures fans, “I definitely feel like a new me and I’ve never, ever felt better. I really know myself this time around and I’m really excited for people to hear the music.”
Ava says the album will be out later this year, and it’ll be very eclectic.
“Every song on the new album is very different. It’s pop but it also has influences from 90s, 80s…not only just one genre,” she explains. “I wanted to mix a lot of genres on this album. I really wanted you to be on a journey.”
When the new album arrives, it’ll be the follow up to her 2020 debut, Heaven & Hell.

https://warm1069.com/harry-styles-unveils-harrys-house-album-track-list/ | Harry Styles has to wait just a few more weeks until his new album, Harry’s House, arrives. To further excite fans, the “As It Was” singer unveiled his forthcoming album’s complete track list.
Taking to Twitter, Harry quietly shared a photo of his album laying face-down in the grass, so fans could see all 13 song titles on its back.
There are two sides to Harry’s House, with “Side A” containing seven tracks: “Music for a Sushi Restaurant,” “Late Night Talking,” “Grapejuice,” “As It Was,” “Daylight,” “Little Freak” and “Matilda.”
There are six more tracks on the flip side: “Cinema,” “Daydreaming,” “Keep Driving,” “Satellite,” “Boyfriends” and “Love of My Life.”
Aside from “As It Was,” fans were given a sneak peek of the forthcoming effort thanks to Harry’s Coachella stint, where he performed “Boyfriends” and “Late Night Talking” during his set.
The Grammy winner recently described his forthcoming work to Better Homes & Gardens, saying it’s about feeling at home. “It sounds like the biggest, and the most fun, but it’s by far the most intimate,” he teased. “I just want to make stuff that is right, that is fun, in terms of the process, that I can be proud of for a long time.”
Harry’s House, his third studio album, is due out May 20 and is the follow up to 2019’s Fine Line.

https://warm1069.com/im-just-not-there-yet-celine-dion-continues-to-recover-reschedules-european-shows-to-2023/ | The “severe and persistent muscle spasms” that have been plaguing Celine Dion for months don’t appear to be going away any time soon. The star is now postponing her 2022 European shows to 2023.
Celine was unable to launch her new Las Vegas residency at Resorts World last November due to the condition, and now she says her recovery is taking longer than she had hoped.
“I’m so sorry we have to change our tour plans for Europe one more time; first we had to move the shows because of the pandemic, now it’s my health issues causing us to postpone the shows,” Celine says in an emotional video statement. “I am doing a little bit better…but I’m still experiencing some spasms.”
“I need to be in top shape when I’m on stage,” she adds. “I honestly can’t wait, but I’m just not there yet… I’m doing my very best to get back to the level that I need to be so that I can give 100% at my shows because that’s what you deserve.”
Celine adds, “I appreciate your loyalty…thank you so much for the messages of love and support that you always send to my social media. It means a lot to me.”
Celine also took the opportunity to say that she stands with the people of Ukraine, adding, “I hope and pray that this war ends soon.”
The rescheduled shows start in February of 2023 and run through April, and then resume in August and run through October. It’s possible that between April and August, Celine’s hoping to return to Las Vegas.

https://warm1069.com/sam-smith-releases-uplifting-new-single-and-video-love-me-more/ | After multiple teases, Sam Smith has finally dropped their new single and video, “Love Me More.”
In the song, Sam starts out full of self-doubt, singing, “Have you ever felt like being somebody else?/Feeling like the mirror isn’t good for your health?” but then, they turn a corner, singing, “Every day I’m trying not to hate myself/but lately it’s not hurting like it did before/Maybe I am learning how to love me more.”
The video opens with footage of Sam as a toddler, cuts to them alone in their house while a friend leaves a voice mail urging them to come out, and ends with them dancing with a crowd of people at a club and getting cozy with a guy on the dance floor.
“I wrote this song for anyone who feels different, anyone who has to stop themselves every day from saying unkind things to themselves, in their head, all the time,” Sam explains in a statement. “I felt like that for the longest time and slowly I’m learning how to just be nice to myself.”
“I wanted to share that because I captured it in this song,” they add. “Over the last two years, music has been my therapy more than ever. So I hope this song can be your friend.”
“Love Me More” is described as “the beginning of what will undoubtedly be yet another remarkable chapter for Sam.” No word yet on a new album, though.

https://warm1069.com/shawn-mendes-upcoming-wonder-tour-to-promote-sustainability-initiatives/ | Shawn Mendes wants his forthcoming Wonder: The World tour to do more than delight fans — he wants it to help save the planet. The Grammy winner announced he’s implementing new sustainability initiatives that’ll drastically reduce its carbon footprint.
“When we first started talking about ‘greening the tour,’ I took a hard look at the many different things that make up our carbon footprint and was faced with the reality that doing one of my favorite things – touring – has a massive impact on the climate crisis,” Shawn said in a statement. “But every decision we make can have a positive outcome.”
“My team and I have worked humbly with climate scientists and youth activists to understand how we can reduce tour emissions and have developed a program that has allowed us to reduce our carbon impact by 50 percent per show this tour compared to the last tour, and to further mitigate all other unavoidable emissions to become a climate positive (carbon negative) tour,” the “Stitches” singer continued. “We are in a pivotal moment for climate, and it’s crucial to me that this tour is a step in the right direction.”
Some changes coming to Shawn’s tour are sustainably produced merchandise, using innovative technology during shows, and reducing his travel emissions. In addition, the singer will donate and support local climate change activists and environmental organizations. He will also introduce fans to these efforts by including an Impact Village per tour stop, so fans can learn how they can combat climate change.
Shawn will also invest in and donate to several causes dedicated to saving the planet, including Gold Standard, ACES, Pachama and more.
The Wonder: The World tour kicks off June 27 in Portland, Oregon.

https://warm1069.com/rihanna-reminisces-of-being-crowned-national-hero-in-barbados-i-will-forever-cherish-these-memories/ | Rihanna was declared a National Hero last November, and on Friday, she shared a collection of photos and video taken at the ceremony.
“My very first #NationalHeroesDay as a National Hero of my country Barbados,” Rihanna expressed on Instagram. “What an absolute honor to be amongst such great men and women who have come before me and held this title in commitment to our nation!”
She continued, “I will forever cherish these memories and continue to represent the Bajan people and my home Barbados to the fullest!!”
Among the photos are ones of Rihanna being honored at the Pride of Nationhood ceremony and being awarded a medal. She also included a snippet of Prime Minister Mia Mottley‘s speech, where she told the singer, “May you continue to shine like a diamond and bring honor to your nation by your works, by your actions” — a reference to Rihanna’s 2012 hit, “Diamonds.”
Rihanna is the 11th person, but only the second woman in Barbados’ history, to receive the honor of National Hero. The award allows her to use the designation “Right Honorable” in front of her name.
She thanked the country’s leadership for “trusting me with this honor!”

https://warm1069.com/scooter-braun-calls-out-taylor-swift-for-weaponizing-her-fan-base/ | Scooter Braun has offered his side of the story about his bad blood with Taylor Swift.
To recap, Scooter acquired Taylor’s former record company, Big Machine, in June of 2019 — and, by extension, ownership of her master recordings up until her album Reputation. The same day the deal was announced, Taylor lamented in an emotional Tumblr post that the buyout was her “worst case scenario” and accused Braun of being a manipulative bully.
Taylor has subsequently been famously re-recording her Big Machine album catalog in an attempt to reclaim ownership of her masters, while Braun has since sold the rights to Taylor’s first six albums for a reported $300 million+.
Now, Braun is sharing his perspective on what happened. He told MSNBC, “The person who owned Taylor’s masters throughout her career was not myself, and when I was buying a record label, I actually said to that group, ‘If at any point she wants to come back and be a part of this conversation, please let me know because I wouldn’t do this deal.”
“I was shown an email, which has now been made public now, where she stated that she wanted to move on that negotiation and wasn’t interested in doing that deal anymore,” he continued. Taylor claimed at the time that she was never offered the opportunity to purchase her masters outright, without additional contractual obligations.
Talking about Taylor’s attempt to regain ownership of her music, Braun said, “I think Taylor has every right to re-record. She has every right to pursue her masters, and I wish her nothing but well, and I have zero interest in saying anything bad about her.”
“I’ve never said anything bad about her in the past, and I won’t start to now,” he added. “The only thing I disagree with is weaponizing a fan base.” As previously reported, Braun said in a since-deleted Instagram post that Taylor’s fans were sending death threats to his family.

https://warm1069.com/lady-gaga-shares-10-second-clip-of-new-top-gun-sequel-song/ | You may feel the need for speed when it comes to wanting Lady Gaga to release her new Top Gun sequel song “Hold My Hand,” but for now, you’ll have to be satisfied with a brief snippet.
The star posted a 10-second clip of the tune Friday on Instagram: All we hear are big drumbeats and Gaga singing, “I won’t let go till the end.” She paired the snippet with a black-and-white video of herself sitting under the wing of a prop plane with the letters LG on it.
According to the lyrics she revealed earlier this week, that line of the ballad is part of a verse that goes, “But if you decide to/ I’ll ride in this life with you/ I won’t let go till the end.”
The song arrives in full on May 3, while the film, Top Gun: Maverick, hits theaters May 27.
While announcing the song, Gaga wrote on Instagram, “When I wrote this song for Top Gun: Maverick, I didn’t even realize the multiple layers it spanned across the film’s heart, my own psyche, and the nature of the world we’ve been living in. I’ve been working on it for years, perfecting it, trying to make it ours.”
She added, “I wanted to make music into a song where we share our deep need to both be understood and try to understand each other — a longing to be close when we feel so far away and an ability to celebrate life’s heroes. Gaga also described the track as “a love letter to the world during and after a very hard time.”

https://warm1069.com/abbas-bjorn-ulvaeus-thinks-lots-of-artists-are-going-to-be-studying-their-digital-voyage-concerts/ | ABBA is ready to embark on their first-of-its kind Voyage concert series, which will feature a digital version of the band on stage. Singer Björn Ulvaeus previewed the upcoming effort and admitted a lot is riding on its success.
Speaking to the Sunday Times, the Swedish pop legend opened up about ABBA coming together for the first time in 40 years, which saw them release the Grammy nominated album Voyage. Now, the group will perform a series of “revolutionary” concerts and Ulvaeus admits he is feeling the pressure.
“It’s an immense risk and most people I talk to don’t appreciate that,” he said. “They say, ‘Oh, it’ll be fine.’ Sometimes I wake up at four in the morning and think, ‘What the hell have we done?'”
ABBA Voyage, the concert experience featuring a performance by digital avatars of the band’s four members, accompanied by a 10-piece live band, will take place at the specially built ABBA Arena at London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
“Lots of artists are going to be studying us, definitely,” Ulvaeus added. “I won’t name names, but I can think of a few.” He cryptically teased, “I wonder who’s going to be first. I couldn’t possibly comment.”
ABBA fans certainly have theories and will be sure to watch out for the famous faces who will be among the audience when the concert series kicks off on May 27.

https://warm1069.com/camila-cabello-opens-up-to-selena-gomez-about-her-mental-health/ | Camila Cabello opened up to about struggling to accept her mental health challenges in a new interview with Selena Gomez for her Wondermind initiative. Camila is the outlet’s cover star for the month of May.
“There’s obviously such shame that comes sometimes with mental health. From the outside, my life looks great. I can make an album, or I’m in this relationship, whatever. I almost shamed myself by thinking people wouldn’t understand that I have anxiety,” Camila said of coming to terms that she was struggling.
The “Bam Bam” singer took a stand against the misconceptions of mental health by revealing she’s undergoing treatment for her anxiety, such as taking antidepressants and going to therapy. “Just because you’re in therapy doesn’t mean something is more wrong with you,” she remarked. “I definitely feel like medication can be really helpful and necessary.”
“We all have things that we could work on, we all have tools that we could learn, and it doesn’t mean that you’re ‘crazy’ or ill,” added Camila. “What if you are just trying to work through the stuff that makes you suffer? Don’t we all want that?”
Wondermind’s new issue arrived as Selena debuted a new month-long initiative called Your Words Matter, which is “an educational campaign on how to talk about mental health.” It will highlight the proper and improper use of words to help “break the stigma.”
Added Selena on Instagram, “When we use mental health-related words for non-clinical situations, we run the risk of making light of larger concerns or defining something incorrectly. When we recognize our words matter and the importance of word choice, the words we use can also make a positive difference in addressing mental health stigma.”

https://warm1069.com/david-cook-on-appearing-on-tonights-great-idol-reunion-its-a-pretty-easy-thing-to-say-yes-to/ | Tonight on ABC, it’s The Great Idol Reunion, as American Idol alumni gather to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Among the winners who’ll be performing: Ruben Studdard, Jordin Sparks, Scotty McCreery, Maddie Poppe, Kris Allen and David Cook. Season seven champ David says he agreed to participate because he’s got a “soft spot” for Idol — “for obvious reasons.”
“When they ask, I always try to make it work,” he tells ABC Audio. While he jokes that he’d say no if they asked him to dance, or do a group number, he explains, “This one was exciting: To get an opportunity to perform with somebody like Kris Allen, who I’ve become very friendly with over the years and have a great rapport with…it’s a pretty easy thing to say yes to.”
David also jokes that in the wake of the pandemic, he has “a bit of a newfound appreciation for human interaction,” so he enjoyed getting to see his old friends and meet new ones. Plus, viewers will see other familiar faces who haven’t been announced.
“There were actually other alumni there…that was also really cool…it wasn’t something we were told about ahead of time,” says David.
There were a couple of downsides, though: One, David says, was the “nausea-inducing” return to the Idol set. “How quickly you fall right back into the old anxiety!” he laughs. “To get to walk back into that room and have all those feelings kinda flood back in…It’s overwhelming,” he explains.
The other downside? ABC is going to show everyone’s old, embarrassing audition footage.
“I was really hoping that when the show moved to ABC that maybe that footage got lost in transit or something,” David laughs. “But no — they’ve been really good about holding on to that stuff!”

https://warm1069.com/ed-sheeran-focuses-on-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-in-new-2step-remix-featuring-ukrainian-band-antytila/ | Ed Sheeran teamed with Ukrainian band Antytila for a brand-new remix and music video of his song “2step,” which painted a heartbreaking image of Russia’s ongoing invasion of the country.
The new song, which dropped Monday on Antytila’s YouTube channel, has them contributing several new verses in their native language. The band revealed the English translation of their lyrics in the comments, revealing it is their message to their loved ones who fled Ukraine while they stayed behind to combat Russia’s invasion.
The lyrics read, in part, “We are the heroes in this, and showrunners simultaneously/ The scenario is burning/ How many more missiles?/ Honey, I promise when it’s all over…/ I will dance with you so slow.”
The band also sings about their being awakened by sirens and watching their loved ones flee.
The equally heartbreaking music video focuses on a boy and a girl who aspire to be dancers. While the boy dances through his war-torn city, the girl flees Ukraine with her mother and dances in a field. The music video reveals the two were dance partners.
The music video also features frontman Taras Topolia, dressed as a military medic, singing in front of a tank. He revealed on Instagram, “I’ve decided to tell his own story of how the war started for my family. And it’s not just my story, it’s the story of millions of Ukrainians whose families were separated by horrific bombing and war and sometimes forever.”
Proceeds from the “2step’ remix and music video will benefit Music Saves UA. The music video was dedicated to film director Dmytro Manifest, who died during the invasion, and a close friend of his assisted in filming the music video.

https://warm1069.com/first-trailer-for-harry-styles-dont-worry-darling-is-here/ | The trailer for Don’t Worry Darling — starring Harry Styles and Florence Pugh — made headlines when it was first previewed at CinemaCon last week. Now, fans can finally see what caused the hype.
The trailer opens with Harry and Pugh — respectively playing Jack and Alice — living a perfect married life in an idyllic, experimental town housing project built to meet every resident’s need. But things quickly turn sinister as Pugh begins noticing there’s more to their picturesque ‘Victory Project’ community that meets the eye, despite being told she mustn’t question her surroundings. Her quest for clarity is met with harsh resistance from the project’s leader, played by Chris Pine, and her husband.
“Our life together, we could lose this,” Harry’s character warns, but it’s not enough to sway his wife, who sees her neighbors mentally unraveling around her.
Don’t Worry Darling is directed by Olivia Wilde, who said during CinemaCon the movie is “a love letter to movies that push the boundaries of our imagination.” Wilde said it also borrows elements from The Matrix, Inception and The Truman Show.
“What would it take for you to give up that life, that perfect life. What are you really willing to sacrifice to do what’s right?” she teased. “Are you willing to dismantle the system that’s designed to serve you?”
She also said Harry’s performance in the film “is nothing short of a revelation.”

https://warm1069.com/olivia-rodrigo-silk-sonic-are-among-the-most-impactful-aapi-stars-of-the-past-year/ | It’s Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage month, and Gold House, which describes themselves as the “leading API changemaker community,” has put Olivia Rodrigo and Silk Sonic on its A100 List, highlighting the Top 100 Asian and Pacific Islanders who’ve most impacted American culture and society over the past year.
Olivia and Silk Sonic — the Grammy-winning duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson.

Last year, Olivia, whose father is Filipino, spoke about being a role model for young Asian girls. She told V magazine, “I sometimes get DMs from little girls being like, ‘I’ve never seen someone who looked like me in your position.’ And I’m literally going to cry, like, just thinking about it. I feel like I grew up never seeing that. Also it was always like, “Pop star,” that’s a white girl.'”

https://warm1069.com/bruno-mars-to-open-fenway-parks-new-music-hall-with-three-day-spectacular/ | Bruno Mars is coming to Boston for a three-day spectacular to celebrate the opening of an all-new music hall.
The Grammy winner will officially open MGM Music Hall at Fenway, which seats 5,000 people, starting September 7. The opening night will be followed by two more shows on September 9 and September 11.
The new venue is located steps away from historic Fenway Park, which is the home of the Boston Red Sox.

https://warm1069.com/girls-just-wanna-have-docs-cyndi-laupers-career-to-be-highlighted-in-upcoming-movie-let-the-canary-sing/ | Cyndi Lauper‘s life story is about to get the documentary treatment in the forthcoming film Let the Canary Sing. The movie will explore the “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” singer’s rise to fame — and it has her seal of approval.
The movie will be helmed by Emmy-nominated director Alison Ellwood, who will take the audience on a deep dive into Cyndi’s history and accomplishments.
According to a press release, the documentary will explore “how Lauper found her voice growing up in working class Queens, New York, a meteoric rise to stardom following the smashing success of her debut album She’s So Unusual, and the generations she has influenced with her songs, her inimitable ever-evolving punk style, unapologetic feminism and devotion to advocating for others.”
Cyndi has already given her “full participation and support” for the film.
“Like many people, I assumed when Cyndi Lauper burst onto the music scene in the early ’80s, that she was another young star experiencing a meteoric rise to fame and success thanks to MTV,” Ellwood said in a statement. “Her music videos were wild and colorful, her songs like ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun‘ were infectious. But as it turns out, her story is one of hard knocks, hard work and dogged determination. Cyndi wanted her voice not just to be listened to, but a voice to be heard.”
The director continued, “The documentary will be a full portrait of Cyndi Lauper — her ‘True Colors’ shining through.”
The pop legend has sold over 50 million records during her explosive career. Her standout hit “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” has been viewed over a billion times on YouTube.
Sony Music Entertainment is financing the film, for which a release date has yet to be announced.

In the interview, Justin, now 28, also discusses his status as sort of an “elder statesman” of pop, and how it’s important for him to support, as he puts it, “the Kid LAROIs of the world…these young cats.” He says he’s committed to helping up-and-comers “get their music out there, because I know what it’s like to have this vision and want people to hear your music.”
The full interview drops at 3 p.m. ET.
