https://warm1069.com/demi-lovato-says-its-a-dream-come-true-after-kelly-clarkson-covers-anyone/ | Kelly Clarkson tackled Demi Lovato‘s heart-wrenching ballad “Anyone” on her daytime talk show on Wednesday, and Demi could hardly hold back their excitement.
Taking to their Instagram Story, the Grammy nominee raved, “A dream come true!” Demi continued, “Grew up singing to Kelly Clarkson and now she’s covering my song… You crushed this Kelly!! Love you!!”
Demi previously revealed they penned the single as an unknowing “cry for help” amid their addiction struggles in 2018. Four days after recording the track, Demi suffered a near-fatal overdose. They ultimately chose to release the personal single on their seventh studio album, Dancing with the Devil… the Art of Starting Over.
Demi also took a stroll down memory lane in their Instagram Stories to prove just how long they’ve admired the American Idol winner. Sharing a throwback video from when they were a young teenager, Demi wrote, “Me covering Kelly Clarkson at 13/14 ish. Life long fan.”
The song Demi was covering back then was Kelly’s 2003 single “The Trouble With Love Is.”

https://warm1069.com/dont-break-into-harrys-house-singers-stalker-pleads-guilty-to-violating-restraining-order/ | A person who was barred from going within 800 feet of Harry Styles in 2019 pleaded guilty on Thursday to violating that restraining order.
The Evening Standard reports that the stalker, Pablo-Diana Orero Tarazaga, forcibly entered Harry’s house — his actual house in London, not his hit album — on February 16.
After breaking in, the stalker, who identifies as bi-gender — meaning that they identify as both male and female — allegedly pushed a woman who was working in the house into a wall and damaged a planter while scuffling with a security guard. In a north London court on Thursday, Orero Tarazaga agreed that they’d violated their restraining order, but denied being violent.
According to the paper, they said, “I declare myself guilty for breaching the restraining order and entering the house but not guilty to the assault.” Orero Tarazaga is being held in a hospital. A trial has been set for August 1, according to the Evening Standard.

https://warm1069.com/dwayne-says-no-in-a-great-way/ | Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson just gave a group of Ohio students the thrill of a lifetime.
PEOPLE has an exclusive first look at the 50-year-old actor’s video message to a group of over 400 students who are part of the state’s Parma City School District P.A.C.T.S. program.
According to its official website, P.A.C.T.S. (which stands for Parma Area Center for Transition Services) “is a dynamic employment and life skill training program for students with multiple disabilities,” with a goal “to promote independence in the home, community and integrated employment setting.”
During this year’s recent P.A.C.T.S. luau event — which was unable to be held for the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic — a surprise video message from Johnson was screened for all the students attending at Parma Senior High School.
“This message goes out to all of my friends — all the P.A.C.T.S. students at Parma High School,” the Jungle Cruise actor began. “Guys, I want to thank you so much for the amazing invitation that you guys sent me to come to the luau 2022, the comeback! Thank you guys so much. I saw the video [you made to invite me with] —
I know that you guys were trying really hard, and I loved it.
I loved the video.
I loved everybody’s performances.
You are so cool and very talented.”

https://warm1069.com/moment-of-pride-paula-cole-reveals-honestly-im-the-b-in-lgbtq/ | It’s Pride Month, and one artist who’s always had the support of the gay community has used the opportunity to come out publicly.
Paula Cole, the Grammy winner best known for her hits “I Don’t Want to Wait” and “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?” tells ABC Audio, “Honestly, I’m the ‘B’ in LGBTQ. And it took me years to be able to say that.”
Paula spoke with ABC Audio before performing at the Garden Party Celebration of Pride event at The Center, New York’s LGBTQ community center. Regarding coming out, she credited her daughter and her “daughter’s generation” for “bringing that fluidity to my attention,” adding, “I feel celebratory in kind of acknowledging that part of myself.”
While noting that she’s “always been part of the community,” Paula added, “But to be more vocal about it in public is very freeing and wonderful.”
Explaining why she hasn’t spoken about it before, Paula said, “I’ve been very shy about it. I’m an introvert, and also, it’s a nebulous place to be for us Gen-X’ers. I’m 54 and there was just no place [to be open about it].”
Recalling how she attended a Pride Parade in the early ’90s and saw people yelling at bisexual women to “make up your f***ing mind!” Paula said, “I felt like, ‘O.K. I don’t know how to be, I don’t know what I am’…and years passed.”
But, she continued, “Then comes new generations, and then comes new thought processes, openness, fluidity…and I understand who I am, and it’s beautiful.”
Of the event, Paula noted, “The gay community has always been so loving to me. And they stood by me loyally…y’know, hits come and go, [but] this is my community…so I’m home.”
Paula’s tour is scheduled through the summer.

Dua Lipa was sued again for posting paparazzi photos of herself to Instagram, reports Billboard. Photographer Robert Barbera claims he shot the photos Dua posted online. He previously sued Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber for the same reason. This marks the second time in a year Dua was accused of copyright infringement.
Have you ever failed to recognize a celebrity in public? Leslie Jordan admitted to the Trailblazers Radio podcast he thought Lady Gaga was an extra when they starred in an episode of American Horror Story: Roanoke together. He admits he told her, “Nice to meet you. Welcome aboard” when they met — and he walked away. Oops!
If you wonder whether those so-called cotton candy grapes taste any good, just know Joe Jonas is a fan of them. He took to his Instagram Stories to share a photo of his recent haul and raved, “My mind is blown!”
Don’t ever steal from Ed Sheeran because he might just stab you — if you take his new TikTok video seriously. He shared a clip of someone sneaking into his dressing room and snagging a cold one from his cooler before turning around to find Ed angrily posing with a knife. Ed joked he’s “always watching.”
Ellie Goulding says she’s “a nature nerd” in a new op-ed to The Guardian. She opened up about her climate activism and the repercussions she faced since speaking out. The “Love Me Like You Do” singer adds she is happy to use her platform to raise awareness of climate change.

https://warm1069.com/it-would-be-loved-20-years-ago-maroon-5-released-debut-album-songs-about-jane/ | Twenty years ago Saturday — June 25, 2002 — Maroon 5 released their debut, Songs About Jane. A true sleeper hit, it didn’t make the top 10 until 2004. But it eventually produced four hits, including “This Love” and “She Will Be Loved,” and went multiplatinum. Maroon 5 guitarist James Valentine says for him, it’s still a good listening experience.
“I think I might have listened to it during the pandemic … during that early time when we were all stuck,” he laughs. “I think at one point I put it on — and I think it absolutely held up!”
Why was the album slow to take off? James says at first people didn’t know how to categorize a band that combined classic and alternative rock, ’70s soul and current pop.
“We had this idea that we wanted to do something new that was incorporating … the rhythmic aspects of what was going on in hip-hop and pop productions,” he says. “And then sort of interpret that through the lens of a traditional five-piece rock band.”
Sales grew steadily after the album’s songs spread online via file-sharing services. James notes, “We never lost the faith, because it was always moving in the right direction. And then it just became surreal once it started snowballing.”
And, by the way, “Jane” is real: Most of the album was inspired by singer Adam Levine‘s breakup with his girlfriend Jane Herman.
“Adam was very distraught,” James recalls. “You can hear it in the songs. And he really worked out … a lot of the stuff that he was going through, through that music.”
Maroon 5’s tour starts in July, but in the future, James says, “I would love to come out and play Songs about Jane top to bottom and then maybe encore with some of the more recent hits. I think that would be a fun evening.”

https://warm1069.com/taylor-swift-releases-new-song-carolina-from-where-the-crawdads-sing/ | Taylor Swift‘s new single “Carolina” has arrived!
The highly anticipated new track, which was released Friday, is from the upcoming film Where the Crawdads Sing, an adaptation of Delia Owens bestselling 2018 novel of the same name.
Taking to Instagram after the release, Swift shared a clip of the song’s lyric video and explained, “About a year and half ago I wrote a song about an incredible story, the story of a girl who always lived on the outside, looking in. Figuratively and literally.”
“The juxtaposition of her loneliness and independence. Her longing and her stillness. Her curiosity and fear, all tangled up. Her persisting gentleness… and the world’s betrayal of it,” she continued. “I wrote this one alone in the middle of the night and then @aarondessner and I meticulously worked on a sound that we felt would be authentic to the moment in time when this story takes place. I made a wish that one day you would hear it.”
That message is clearly evidenced in the song’s lyrics as Swift croons, “Into the mist, into the clouds / No, you didn’t see me here / They’ll make a fest, I’ll make it count / Carolina knows.”
“Carolina” comes just three months after it was teased in the trailer for Where The Crawdads Sing. At the time, Swift shared that she “got absolutely lost in [the book] when I read it years ago.”
“As soon as I heard there was a film in the works starring the incredible @daisyedgarjones and produced by the brilliant @reesewitherspoon, I knew I wanted to be a part of it from the musical side,” she added.
“Carolina” is available to stream now. Where the Crawdads Sing arrives in theaters July 15.

https://warm1069.com/madonna-performs-at-pride-event-with-drag-queens-makes-out-with-a-rapper/ | It’s been a while since Madonna has performed live in the U.S., but since it’s Pride Month, the longtime ally hit the stage last night at New York City’s Terminal 5 for a special event.
The event was hosted by the NFT platform World of Women, with whom Madonna has collaborated before. According to Billboard, she performed a remix of her hit “Hung Up” with female Dominican rapper Tokischa, with whom she then made out. She also performed with LGBTQ rapper Saucy Santana on a mash-up of her classic “Material Girl” and his song of the same name.
Billboard also reports that Madonna appeared on stage with famous drag queens — including Bob the Drag Queen and Violet Chachki — and her son David Banda. During her big finale, she performed “Celebration,” the title track of her 2009 compilation.
But Madonna wasn’t just celebrating Pride — the event also doubled as a record release party for Finally Enough Love, her dance remix compilation. The 16-track version of the package is out today; the full 50-track version comes out August 19, a few days after Madonna’s birthday.
You can see footage of Madonna’s rehearsals for last night’s event on her Instagram Story.

https://warm1069.com/the-guilt-is-the-hardest-chris-daughtry-talks-about-losing-his-mom-and-stepdaughter-a-week-apart/ | Chris Daughtry‘s been through a lot of tragedy in the past year, losing his mother to cancer and his stepdaughter Hannah to suicide a week apart. On Thursday’s installment of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Chris opened up about how he’s been coping.
“I think the common denominator in both is the guilt,” the American Idol alum shared. “The ‘I wish I would’ve said this, I wish I would’ve done this, I wish I would’ve called more.'”
He added, “The guilt is the hardest, because you can’t do anything about it, and there’s always gonna be reminders of what you could’ve done..and I tend to beat myself up a lot over it.”
However, Chris said he and his family have dealt with their losses in a “very healthy way.” He went on to detail how his children were an active part of the burial process — he didn’t indicate whose burial — but said seeing them “process it” was very “healing.”
Chris and his band Daughtry‘s latest album is called Dearly Beloved.

https://warm1069.com/elton-john-genesis-eagles-john-mayer-dua-lipa-have-highest-grossing-tours-of-2022-so-far/ | In the first six months of 2022, Genesis and Elton John‘s farewell tours, plus tours by The Eagles, John Mayer and Coldplay, have been raking it in at the box office, according to Pollstar‘s midyear report.
In terms of worldwide tours, Genesis’ The Last Domino? Tour — the final outing for Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford — earned $72 million globally, second only to Latin superstar Bad Bunny. Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour was next with $70 million.
Other tours that made the top 10 include The Eagles’ ongoing Hotel California tour, with $55 million; John Mayer’s Sob Rock trek, with $51.8 million; and Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour, with $44.7 million.
When it comes to North American tours, Elton John lands at #2 behind, yes, Bad Bunny. The Eagles, John Mayer and Genesis also made the top 10, but Dua Lipa also sneaks onto the list, with North American earnings of $40.1 million from her ongoing Future Nostalgia Tour.
Other artists on both top-grossing tours lists include K-pop superstars BTS — even though they only did eight shows in four cities — and country stars Eric Church, Morgan Wallen and Garth Brooks.

https://warm1069.com/meghan-trainor-announces-details-of-new-album-drops-video-for-new-single-bad-for-me/ | Meghan Trainor‘s out with “Bad for Me,” the first single and video from her upcoming album, Takin’ It Back.
The track, featuring Teddy Swims, is “a true story for me,” says Meghan in a statement. “It’s about how I stood up for myself and took a step back from a relationship that was hurting me more than anything. It’s hard to do, but I needed to in order to feel better.”
Based on the lyrics — “I know we’re blood/but this love is bad for me” — it appears the relationship wasn’t romantic but with someone in her family. Meghan didn’t give any further details.
Meghan and Teddy will be performing “Bad For Me” for the first time on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! tonight, Friday, June 24th.
Meghan’s also released the track list for Takin’ It Back. In addition to the previously reported collaboration with singer Natti Natasha and Cuban music legend Arturo Sandoval, it also features a track called “Sensitive” with Pentatonix‘s Scott Hoying.
Takin’ It Back is out October 21. In a statement, Meghan says, “I tried to do the doo-wop feel I had at the beginning of my career, but the 2022 version of it. This is from the new Meghan who is a wife and mom with a baby. This is from me right now. I decided to give the people what they want, but with my spices added to it.”
Here’s the track list for Takin’ It Back:
“Sensitive” ft. Scott Hoying

https://warm1069.com/music-notes-taylor-swift-justin-timberlake-meghan-trainor-more/ | Taylor Swift approves of her BFF Selena Gomez using her music on TikTok. Selena is promoting the latest drop from her Rare Beauty cosmetics line with a TikTok that’s set to Taylor’s hit “The Man.” As captured by PopBase, Taylor responded in the comments, “It’s giving CEO it’s giving gorgeousness it’s giving friends forever.”
Justin Timberlake traded his khakis for Louis Vuitton on Thursday as he and wife Jessica Biel hit up the luxury brand’s outdoor runway show in Paris. Both Justin and Jessica sported LV head to toe. Justin shared their looks on Instagram, adding a caption honoring late Louis Vuitton designer Virgil Abloh. E! reports that other stars at the event included Naomi Campbell, Chanel Iman, Joel Edgerton and Ella Emhoff, better known as Vice President Kamala Harris‘ stepdaughter.
Evan Rachel Wood is portraying Madonna in the upcoming biopic of “Weird Al” Yankovic. On The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon Thursday, she proved that not only can she talk exactly like early ’80s Madonna, but she can sing just like her as well, belting out a note-perfect rendition of “Material Girl.” She also did perfect imitations of Alanis Morissette and Janis Joplin.
Meghan Trainor knows she’s an oversharer — remember the side-by-side toilets Story? — but when it comes to who inspired her new single, she’s keeping her mouth shut. “Bad for Me” is about a family member she had to cut ties with, but as she tells People, “This one is personal because there’s someone else involved. And usually I tell every detail, and this one, I want to keep that private for their sake. I don’t want my fans going and finding them. So it’s weird to walk on eggshells.”
On The Kelly Clarkson Show Friday, Alanis Morissette shared some advice her father gave her about being in the public eye, and also spoke about her own growth and self-actualization — which led Kelly to gush, “Everything you say sounds like it came from a beautiful self-help book! You should write one!”

https://warm1069.com/taylor-swift-cher-and-others-weigh-in-on-supreme-court-decision-im-absolutely-terrified/ | The Supreme Court on Friday ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade and the fundamental right to abortion that has been the law for almost 50 years. The court ruled 6-3 in an opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito. The court upheld a Mississippi law that bans all abortion past 15 weeks, with very few medical exceptions. Now, musicians are taking to social media to express their horror and dismay at the ruling.
Taylor Swift retweeted former first lady Michelle Obama‘s statement on the ruling, in which Obama wrote, “I am heartbroken for people around this country who just lost the fundamental right to make informed decisions about their own bodies…This horrifying decision will have devastating consequences and it must be a wake-up call, especially to the young people who will bear its burden.”
Taylor then commented, “I’m absolutely terrified that this is where we are – that after so many decades of people fighting for women’s rights to their own bodies, today’s decision has stripped us of that.“
Cher tweeted, “TODAY, TRUMPS RADICAL (REPUBLICAN) SUPREME COURT, BECAME RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN WOMEN. THEY CAN’T BE PROSECUTED, BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE… ‘THEY ARE GUILTY.’ WHAT OTHER RIGHTS (WE TAKE 4 GRANTED) ARE NEXT? BE AFRAID BE VERY AFRAID.”
Cyndi Lauper posted a photo of herself wearing a T-shirt that says, “Girls just want to have fun…damental rights” and wrote, “Today is hard, but we are not done here because in this country the conversation and fight for our civil rights will always continue. Equality for all, not just for some. Stand together with those who need our help most right now.” She linked to abortionfunds.org.
Carole King tweeted, “Taking a right away from more than half the population affects every member of a family. Reproductive healthcare is on the ballot. Organize & plan your vote.”
Christina Perri added a broken heart emoji to a graphic of a quote from the head of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists that reads, “Today’s decision is a direct blow to bodily autonomy, reproductive health, patient safety and health equity in the United States.”
Bette Midler tweeted, “They did it. THEY DID IT TO US! #SCOTUS has overturned #RoevWade, enshrined in the Constitution as settled law for over 50 years. How dare they? This #SCOTUS is absolutely tone-deaf to the will and even the actual needs of the American people. #WakeUpAmerica.”
Hit-making songwriter Diane Warren tweeted, “Welcome to the live version of the Handmaids Tale.”

https://warm1069.com/cyndi-lauper-re-releases-abortion-rights-song-sallys-pigeons/ | Cyndi Lauper has released a new version of her 1993 abortion rights anthem “Sally’s Pigeons” after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 opinion that declared abortion a constitutional right.
“The Supreme Court’s radical decision today makes the re-recording and re-release of ‘Sally’s Pigeons’ more relevant than ever,” she wrote on Instagram. “In my childhood, women didn’t have reproductive freedom and 50 years later we find ourselves in a time warp where one’s freedom to control their own body has been stripped away.”
The two-time Grammy winner continued, “When I wrote this song with Mary Chapin Carpenter in 1991, we wrote about two little girls who dreamt of stretching their wings like the pigeons they watched that flew above them. They dreamt of being free.”
“But freedom then for women and unfortunately now comes at a big price. If we don’t have control over our own bodies then we have no real freedom,” Cyndi expressed further. “If we don’t have control over our own bodies then we have no real freedom. We are second class citizens. We need to mobilize. We need to let our voices be heard.”
“Sally’s Pigeons” was inspired by Cyndi’s childhood friend who became pregnant and died after seeking a back-alley abortion. The heartbreaking track includes lyrics, “Some twenty one years back/ She left one night with just a nod/ Was lost from some back alley job/ I close my eyes and Sally’s pigeons fly.”
She has since changed the lyrics of the 2022 version of her song and says the events took place “some fifty one years back.”
The “Time After Time” singer is a staunch advocate for abortion rights.

https://warm1069.com/ed-sheeran-salutes-his-irish-heritage-at-freedom-of-the-city-of-london-awards/ | Ed Sheeran has numerous awards in his trophy case, but on Sunday he was awarded one of the most meaningful honors.
Ed was granted the Freedom of the City of London — which has been given out since the 1200s! The ceremonial honor is given to those with strong ties to the city.
Ed was selected for the award because he’s a patron of the London Irish Centre, which serves as a resource for the city’s Irish population. The center provides services such as advice sessions, concerts, information, classes and more.
“I think everybody knows how much I love London and how much it’s been a part of my musical journey, so to receive the Freedom of the City today is something truly special,” the singer remarked when picking up the honor.
He noted the other recipients of the honor when declaring, “Given my family’s Irish heritage, to receive the award from London’s first Irish Lord Mayor, Vincent Keaveny, and alongside London Irish Centre friends, is a bonus.”
The other recipients were Gary Dunne and Maeve Heath, the center’s creative director and longest-serving volunteer, respectively.

https://warm1069.com/ed-sheeran-says-sam-smith-gave-him-pure-goosebumps-during-their-performance-at-wembley-stadium/ | Ed Sheeran let his fans know he is a major fan of Sam Smith, whom he invited on stage to perform during his takeover of England’s legendary Wembley Stadium.
Ed is performing two weekend sets at the London venue and invited the “Dancing with a Stranger” singer to guest with him on his second night. The Grammy winner shared a sweet video of them hanging out and captioned it, “The incredible @samsmith guesting last night to a sold out Wembley. Got pure goosebumps for it, just so wonderful.”
Sam reposted the video and expressed on their Instagram, “Forever grateful for your support and friendship Ed. Hearing Wembley sing ‘stay with me’ last night is a sound I will never forget. Took me to the moon. Thank you. What a show, what a guy.”
The duo performed Sam’s 2014 breakout hit, “Stay With Me,” which Ed explained in the video, “We first performed this song eight years ago, which is mad!” The clip also shows the “Shivers” singer admiring Sam’s vocal prowess, dancing on stage and inviting the audience to join in on their duet.
After the show, Ed dubbed their set “pure enjoyment” and said the night’s audience was “the best crowds in London, ever.”
The video also highlighted the multiple hugs the two shared during the event. “I love you,” the redhead told Sam during an embrace before they took the stage. Sam responded, “I love you more!”
Ed is next set to take over Wembley on June 29 and 30.

https://warm1069.com/justin-bieber-seen-in-public-for-first-time-following-ramsay-hunt-diagnosis/ | Justin Bieber appears to be on the mend and was spotted in public for the first time since announcing he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
TMZ snapped photos of the “Ghost” singer out and about with his wife, Hailey Bieber. The two had spent the past few weeks in the Bahamas, presumably to allow Justin privacy while he recovered.
The outlet caught the two deboarding their plane in Los Angeles. The Grammy winner was wearing sunglasses, a baseball cap and a hoodie with its hood up. As for Hailey, she had her hair done up in a messy bun, and was wearing sunglasses and an oversized leather jacket.
The couple didn’t go straight home from the airport, instead grabbing some sushi at West Hollywood’s Sushi Park before continuing on their way.
Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a rare neurological complication caused by the chickenpox virus, which can reactivate as shingles later in life as it stays dormant in one’s system after initial infection. The Mayo Clinic says Ramsay Hunt is caused when a shingles rash breaks out near one’s ear. The rash can trigger facial paralysis, which is what Justin has.
The “Cold Water” singer shared a video earlier this month that showed how the syndrome affected the right side of his face. “This eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move. So there’s full paralysis on this side of my face,” he revealed. Justin has since called off the remainder of his North American tour dates in order to heal.
At this time, the European leg of his Justice World Tour is still going forward, with it resuming July 31 in

https://warm1069.com/pink-asks-fans-who-support-the-supreme-courts-roe-v-wade-decision-to-never-listen-to-my-music-again/ | Pink‘s had quite the weekend on social media, ever since she took to Twitter on Saturday to tell fans how strongly she feels about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Pink wrote, “Let’s be clear: if you believe the government belongs in a woman’s uterus, a gay persons business or marriage, or that racism is okay- THEN PLEASE IN THE NAME OF YOUR LORD NEVER F***KING LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AGAIN. AND ALSO F**K RIGHT OFF. We good?”
When a fan joked, “I hope her agent survives the stroke,” Pink replied, “I am my agent. We’re fine.”
She then spent the weekend replying to tweets from random people attacking her and amplifying tweets from and about those who share her opinion.
When one tweeted, “I can’t name one of your crappy songs,” Pink shot back, “Then WHY ARE YOU ON MY TWITTER?!?! You’re like the guy that doesn’t get picked for the team saying he wasn’t even trying, you f**king loser.”
Pink went on write, “I think all of our nerves are collectively fried from so many years of racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc. +pandemics, mass shootings, wars and the total lunacy, hypocrisy, ignorance of the GOP-it’s all a bit much. But we will stick together. Good will prevail over evil.”
But when someone replied to that tweet by calling Pink an “evil demon” who “lies,” Pink replied, “This is an example of how sick you all are and what you inspire in people.”
She added, “And to all of you sad, old white men asking me if I still make music. I realize you’re out of touch- so ask your kids…. Oh wait- you can’t. They hate you.”

https://warm1069.com/stevie-nicks-weighs-in-on-supreme-court-decision-history-is-repeating-itself/ | Stevie Nicks has good news and bad news: She didn’t get COVID during her recent run of tour dates — but she is very upset about the Supreme Court’s ruling last week.
In a letter posted to Twitter, the two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer writes, “Dear people, I got home from the tour late Wednesday night exhausted. It was great to be back in my world doing what I love for the first time in three years…AND I did not get COVID! We definitely proved that it can be done if you follow the rules. That is the good news.”
Stevie continues, “The bad news is that our women’s rights have been taken away.”
The Fleetwood Mac frontwoman then says that before she comments further, she wants everyone to watch a documentary called The Janes. “It’s a huge deja vu for me, as it is about my generation leading up to Roe v Wade,” she writes. “Please watch it. It will blow your mind.”
She signs off, “History is repeating itself…and it’s even more frightening this time.”
The Janes, available on HBO Max, tells the true story of seven women in Chicago in 1972 who were arrested for running an underground network for women who wanted to have safe, affordable abortions — which at the time were illegal. The film features firsthand accounts from those women, some speaking on the record for the first time.

https://warm1069.com/donate-to-a-good-cause-win-one-of-katy-perrys-wacky-outfits-including-a-lettuce-bra/ | Lettuce hope that you’ll be lucky enough to win one of the kooky outfits Katy Perry wore in a commercial for a British food delivery service — because it’s for a good cause.
Katy recently appeared in the ad for the British food delivery service Just Eat, in which she sings about getting her “curry in a hurry” and “eating subs in the tub” while sporting a variety of over-the-top outfits, featuring accessories like a cheese-shaped hat, an ice cream cake skirt and a diamond-studded bra made of lettuce leaves.
Now, Katy is auctioning off five of the outfits from the video to raise money for chef José Andrés‘ charity, World Central Kitchen, which provides meals in response to humanitarian, climate and community crises.
Katy writes, “Erm… have you seen my WILD outfits in the@JustEatDK spot? Welllll to raise money for@wckitchen – an amazing charity that works so hard to fight hunger and deliver fresh meals to those in crisis – I’m giving away some of my fav outfits from the shoot, so you too can enjoy subs in the tub in a lettuce bra, while feeling good about raising money for a great cause!”
She invites fans to donate at the link in her bio “for a chance to win a LEWK + a signed note from moi!”
The American Idol judge has posted the pieces on her Instagram, along with pictures showing exactly how she wore them in the video. In addition to the lettuce bra — sadly, without the diamonds — there’s a yellow puffer coat, a blue peignoir and matching nightie, a puff-sleeved yellow dress with daisies all over it, a tight yellow and black dress and more.
The drawing for the winner takes place August 15; you have until August 1 to donate.

https://warm1069.com/meet-mr-happy-face/ | There’s a new ugliest dog in the world!
On Friday, NBC’s Kerry Sanders served as a judge at the 2022 World’s Ugliest Dog contest in Petaluma, California, and helped crown a hairless Chinese crested-Chihuahua mix named Mr. Happy Face as the winner.
Mr. Happy Face’s owner, Janeda Banelly, said the title was an honor. In August 2021, she adopted the dog from an Arizona shelter after he was rescued from a hoarder’s house.
“I believe that this humble soul is also being an example, in subtle ways, to help humans realize that even old dogs need love and a family too,” Banelly said.
According to the official website of the Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds Event Center website, Banelly said that she was told that Mr. Happy Face would only have around a month to live because he was an “old dog” who needed lifelong medication.
He also suffered from tumors and multiple conditions and could have possibly been inbred.
Banelly knew the challenges that she would have to face if she brought Mr. Happy Face home. Still, she decided to love him to the best of her abilities.
“He was the happiest creature that I had ever met,” she said. “He hobbled up to me and chose me. I vowed that day, he would be so loved that he would never remember how awful his previous life had been.”
A tragedy to triumph story!!!

https://warm1069.com/are-harry-styles-and-olivia-wilde-ready-to-let-the-public-in-on-their-romance/ | While Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde have been photographed together by paparazzi plenty of times, the two have never made a public appearance together on a red carpet or gone Instagram official. However, a source tells Entertainment Tonight that that might change in the near future.
“At first, they were very aware of how others would perceive their relationship so for the sake of her kids and [Olivia’s ex] Jason [Sudeikis], they wanted to keep things low profile,” dishes the source, referring to why they’ve kept their relationship so private. Olivia shares two children — 8-year-old son Otis and 5-year-old daughter Daisy — with the Ted Lasso star.
But now, the source claims, the couple is more comfortable with the idea of their relationship being in the spotlight. As the source notes, “Privacy is still very important to both of them, but they also want to live their lives authentically, and that means some PDA and speaking about each other publicly.”
In addition, they’re both aware that when Don’t Worry Darling, Harry’s new movie that Olivia directed, comes out, they’re going to have to appear together for promotional purposes and they’ll likely have to field numerous questions about their romance. But since they’re “in such a good place and so confident in their relationship,” the source says, they may just be O.K. with that.
Don’t Worry Darling, which also stars Florence Pugh, arrives September 23.

https://warm1069.com/elton-john-gets-legendary-sequined-dodgers-uniform-back-from-the-hard-rock-cafe/ | One of Elton John‘s most iconic stage outfits is the sequined and bedazzled Los Angeles Dodgers uniform he wore when he headlined Dodger Stadium for two nights in 1975. It’s been on display at the world’s first Hard Rock Cafe, at Old Park Lane in London, but now he has it back.
Elton stopped by the Hard Rock Cafe on Tuesday to do a surprise performance, a few days after performing at the BST Festival in Hyde Park. While he was there, he presented the cafe with one of the Gucci suits he’s been wearing on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour. In exchange, he got back the Dodger uniform — and the Hard Rock Cafe made a $100,000 donation to the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
“It’s an honour to have my Gucci suit join the Hard Rock collection and a joy to have my Dodger’s outfit once more,” Elton wrote on Instagram.
In a full-circle moment, Elton John’s three final shows in the U.S. will take place this November in Dodger Stadium. The last show, on November 20, will mark his 2,000th U.S. concert. By then, he will have performed in all 50 states.
No word on whether or not Elton plans to wear the uniform at those shows, but it’s unlikely given that, well, he’s not exactly the same size he was back in 1975. But who knows — he may use the old uniform as a guide to have a fabulous new uniform designed just for the occasion.

https://warm1069.com/jon-bon-jovi-now-22-million-richer-after-selling-nyc-home-to-former-disney-prez/ | Jon Bon Jovi may be from New Jersey, but he’s been a player in the New York City real estate market for a while. Back in 2015, he sold a six-bedroom penthouse for $34 million. Now, he’s unloaded a four-bedroom Manhattan property for $22 million.
The New York Post reports that Jon listed the West Village home last February for $22 million, so he got his asking price. The buyer is Michael Ovitz, the former president of the Walt Disney Company. The home is a 14th floor unit that Jon bought in 2017 for just under $19 million. It features a 40-foot-long living room, oak floors, floor-to-ceiling windows and a chef’s kitchen with a balcony.
The building itself features a screening room, a gym with a 75-foot pool and a golf simulator, a garden and a reflecting pool.
The Post notes that during the pandemic, Jon purchased a $43 million mansion in Palm Beach. He also owns properties in New York’s ritzy Hamptons.
Earlier this month, Jon popped up onstage with Paul McCartney, wishing the legendary former Beatle a happy 80th birthday during McCartney’s concert at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium.

https://warm1069.com/log-off-movement/ | Youth-led movements says “It’s time for teens to log off!
Emma Lembke joined Instagram when she was 12. Before long, she was spending six hours a day “mindlessly scrolling” and “absorbing all these unrealistic body images,” she told the New York Times in a recent interview. Eating disorders and other problems soon followed, but she couldn’t break free. “It just became this horrific loop of going on these apps, specifically Instagram, feeling worse about myself, but feeling as though I could not stop scrolling because it has this weird power over me.” Lembke says she began to make her break after reading a 2017 Atlantic article, “Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation?”
In 2020, after high school, she founded the youth-led Log Off Movement to provide a platform for young people to speak openly of their experiences and to promote healthy internet use. “For me, I can’t just log off completely,” said Lembke, who just wrapped up her freshman year at Washington University in St. Louis. “Healthy use of social media would be any interaction where the user feels as if they are benefiting and that their health is not being harmed. If you don’t benefit at all, then … the healthiest habit is to log off.” But the movement also has broader aims.
Per CBS, Big Tech has become a big focus as young people are “increasingly worried about leaving their mental health in the hands of for-profit tech companies.” To that end, Lembke helped start the advocacy group Tech[nically] Political, which wants to “change digital regulation laws to ensure online platforms prioritize users’ well-being over profit.” Last year, she told the Hill, “We want to alter this narrative … that teens are passive victims who are just hurt and constantly affected by social media and have no agency whatsoever to remedy the situation.” For those seeking solutions for excessive screentime, Lembke recommends Screentime Genie and Google’s Habit Lab for Chrome.

Seacoast Current reports the home located at 2 Kidds Way in Westerly, Rhode Island, is a stone’s throw away from her house and is on sale for $18.5 million. The beachfront home has several amenities, including a pool, seven bedrooms and 8.5 baths — but being neighbors with Taylor is probably the biggest perk.
Speaking of Taylor, Camila Cabello spread the love to her friend on her Instagram Stories by sharing a clip of Taylor performing “Betty” and wrote, “I will always f***in love Taylor Swift.”
Another one of Taylor’s friends had her in mind on Tuesday, with Selena Gomez telling USA Today the “Shake It Off” singer “really loved” the new season of Only Murders in the Building. The show’s second season is streaming now on Hulu.
Meghan Trainor reflected on her breakout single “All About That Bass” to look at how far she’s come. “Can’t believe it’s been 8 years,” she said of her debut song, “and now I just finished my 4th album???” Meghan’s new album, Takin’ It Back, arrives October 21.
Andy Grammer is thinking of ways to prank daughters Louisiana and Israel when they’re older. He shared a video of a man flipping switches on the breaker during his kids’ sleepover because they were playing with a Ouija board. The video caught the kids’ muffled but very loud screams. Andy said he is “1000% doing this.”
Cyndi Lauper says if you’re unhappy with the state of the country — vote. “Angry enough to vote yet?” she asked on Instagram while wearing a shirt that reads, “Girls just want to have fundamental rights” — a reference to her breakout hit. Cyndi also declared, “We need more women in congress.”

https://warm1069.com/moment-of-pride-savage-gardens-darren-hayes-says-pride-means-visibility-being-rid-of-shame/ | From 1993 to 2001, Darren Hayes was the frontman for the chart-topping Australian pop duo Savage Garden, known for hits like “I Knew I Loved You” and “Truly Madly Deeply.” Today, he’s a solo artist and an out gay man who’s been married to his husband for 17 years. As Pride Month wraps up, he talks about what the word means to him.
He tells ABC Audio that “to be proud is to be completely rid of shame,” adding, “Having shame is such a dark cloud under which I spent so much of my young life.”
Darren tackles that topic indirectly in his new single and video, “Poison Blood,” which details his and his family’s history of depression. He notes, “So much of my own struggle with mental health in the past centered around my own internalized shame around my sexuality as a young person…so I hope this song is a comfort for anyone who needs reminding they are not alone.”
Darren adds that shame can also be dispelled by representation.
“I look back on the beginning of my career when I was still coming to terms with my own sexuality, and I didn’t really have any role models or anyone that I felt like I could look up to,” he tells ABC Audio. “And today, I’m just so grateful that we live in a time where there are so many young performers, athletes, journalists, politicians, artists…who comfortably…live their truth in the public eye.”
“It’s that old adage: You have to see something in order to be able to be it,” he adds. “So that’s what Pride means to me. It’s about visibility. It’s about continuing to show up and be a voice, because no one knows when our rights can be taken away from us.”

https://warm1069.com/of-course-were-not-alone-josh-grobans-wild-alien-theory/ | Last year, pop star Demi Lovato had a docuseries on Peacock called Unidentified, which explored the possibility of life on other planets. Well, perhaps Josh Groban should have been a guest on that show, because not only does he believe there’s life out there, he’s got a pretty bizarre theory about alien abductions.
Appearing on the Canadian radio show q with Tom Power, Josh said as a kid, he was really into the idea of aliens, and even wrote the U.S. Defense Department what he calls “a long essay” saying that he knew that alien abductions and time travel were real.
Surprisingly, Josh said, they sent him a nice letter back thanking him for his interest, along with a complete list of all the known UFO sightings that they haven’t been able to explain.
“I’m not sure the government would do that these days, but it was very, very cool,” Josh said. “And of course we’re not alone.”
He then shared a theory he found on the Internet, but finds pretty compelling. It’s based on the fact that everyone who says they’ve been abducted by aliens always describes them as looking the same: gray, with big eyes and round heads, but with two arms and two legs, just like us.
Josh pointed out, “If there was an actual alien race out there, it would probably look entirely different than us. So my feeling is that these abductions are actually coming from us — humans, a million years in the future.”
“Like, that’s what we look like after…evolution..and we’ve developed time travel,” he added. “And it’s us, a million years in the future, coming back and probing [the] 2022 [version of] us.”
“They’re gonna take me to the loony bin,” Josh laughed. “They’re knocking on the door right now!”

https://warm1069.com/only-harry-in-the-building-showrunner-reveals-dream-guest-star-for-season-3/ | Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building boasts a musician in its cast — Selena Gomez — and the first season featured a guest appearance by another one: rock legend Sting. Now that season 2 is underway, the hit series’ showrunner says he’d like to see yet another musician in the cast for the third season: Harry Styles.
Speaking to Variety at the show’s premiere, showrunner John Hoffman said that in the third season, “Harry Styles should be visiting the apartments at the Arconia.”
The Arconia is the “building” in Only Murders in the Building: It’s the New York City apartment building where the three main characters live and where several murders have taken place.
Asked what she thought of Hoffman’s idea, Selena told Variety, “That is hilarious. I don’t know about that.”
Yes, it might be awkward for Selena to have to act alongside Harry, considering he allegedly used to date her best friend Taylor Swift.
Anyway, Harry’s movie career really seems to be taking off — he’s got one movie, Don’t Worry Darling, coming out in September and another, My Policeman, hitting theaters in October — so who knows if he’d even be interested in a TV role.

https://warm1069.com/adele-was-boyfriend-rich-pauls-glamorous-date-at-friends-great-gatsby-themed-wedding/ | Adele might not be ready to walk down the aisle with boyfriend Rich Paul, but that’s not stopping her from being his plus one at his friend’s wedding.
People reports that Kevin Love of the Cleveland Cavaliers tied the knot with model Kate Bock over the weekend, and Paul was among those invited to the ceremony. The Great Gatsby-themed wedding tasked the guests to wear black-and-white attire, and Adele understood the assignment.
The Grammy winner donned a black corset gown with an off-the-shoulder neckline and tulle sleeves. She accessorized with black pumps and a matching clutch, wearing her blond hair down in loose curls.
Paul matched with a black tuxedo and bowtie and a bright white undershirt.
Love said of the night’s theme, “We wanted to do an old-school NYC, black and white, Gatsby-inspired ball. We thought it was chic, timeless and elegant.”
The basketball player also discussed inviting Paul and former teammates like LeBron James to his wedding. “They are the family I’ve made along the way,” Love said. “We have a brotherhood that extends beyond the basketball court and having them there was special.”
Adele and Paul have been romantically linked since July 2021. They have previously flirted with the idea of marriage and kids but so far have not committed to anything.
The “Easy on Me” singer recently purchased an L.A. mansion formerly owned by Sylvester Stallone for a cool $58 million and posted a photo of herself and Paul standing in front of their new home. She captioned the post, “Time flies.”

https://warm1069.com/ed-sheeran-reveals-the-songs-he-will-never-stop-playing-on-tour/ | Ed Sheeran knows what songs his concertgoers want to hear most, which is why he will never stop playing them on tour.
Appearing on The Late Late Show with James Corden, the Grammy winner revealed his setlist will always include “Perfect,” “Shape of You,” “Bad Habits” and “Thinking Out Loud,” as well as his debut single, “The A Team.”
The British singer said he isn’t mad he will always have to play these songs on tour. As a music fan himself, he said he’d be annoyed if he went to see his favorite band and they didn’t play their biggest hits.
“I put it in my head, I was like, ‘I’m a massive Coldplay fan, and if I go to a Coldplay show and they don’t play ‘Fix You’ or ‘Yellow,’ I’m going to be [disappointed,]” Ed explained. “So, in my head, I’m like, ‘People are going to think that coming to my shows!'”
The “Shivers” singer also explained how happy he is to be constantly expanding that list of must-be-played songs. He notes, “Whenever you put out a new album, you’re like, ‘If I’m not ending the show with the new single from this album and it’s from the last album, I’m like, ‘Ah… has it done well?'”
Ed is very pleased “Bad Habits” — off his newest album = (Equals) — is doing so well. “‘Bad Habits’ is the best of the whole show, so I’m really, really, really, really pleased with that. But I thought I would just end the show with ‘Shape Of You’ for the rest of my life,” he confessed.
Ed also had this message for his American fans — his tour will be coming to the U.S., and he’ll reveal the list of dates “by the end of the year.”

https://warm1069.com/music-notes-taylor-swift-ellie-goulding-ingrid-michaelson-sara-bareilles-shawn-mendes-and-joe-jonas/ | Will Taylor Swift finally get her first Academy Award nod? Her new song “Carolina,” which is for the movie Where the Crawdads Sing, is garnering serious Oscar buzz. Billboard points out she wasn’t nominated for The Hunger Games‘ “Safe and Sound” or 50 Shades of Grey‘s “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever.” We don’t talk about Cats …
Ellie Goulding says she has new music coming out “next month” and, on Twitter, said she has “a little gift coming this week.” She has since changed her profile image to a yellow circle, which fans believe is a hint of what her next album will be called.
Ingrid Michaelson‘s musical based on The Notebook has revealed its cast. “We have made something so magical and so human. I can not wait for the world to see,” she raved on Instagram. The musical, which Ingrid composed the music for, premieres at Chicago Shakespeare Theater on September 6.
Speaking of musicals, Sara Bareilles is officially on Broadway for Into The Woods. The show’s Instagram celebrated its opening night, and Sara shared the post to her stories, writing, “Off to the woods we go…” The show runs for eight weeks only.
Shawn Mendes felt nostalgic on Wednesday and re-created the cover of his album Illuminate, which he released six years ago. “Back in time,” he captioned the post. Illuminate came out September 23, 2016.
Joe Jonas has launched his own line of fizzy sangria, called Ohza. Joe told Forbes, “It is the first canned ‘sparkling’ sangria on the market, so I’m looking forward to getting it out there.” He hopes to take on those spiked seltzers that are uber popular right now. The sangria is made from Joe’s own “secret recipe.”

https://warm1069.com/stranger-things-star-sadie-sink-wants-taylor-swift-to-direct-a-feature-film/ | After starring in Taylor Swift‘s 10-minute “All Too Well” music video, Stranger Things star Sadie Sink hopes the singer will pursue a career in directing.
Speaking with Collider, Sink explained why she thinks Taylor has the chops to become a force in Hollywood.
“I would love to see that happen and I think that it absolutely should happen because she’s someone who’s just so driven. When she has an idea, she will execute it exactly how her mind envisioned it,” the 20-year-old raved. “She’s very instinctual and it was just really amazing to kind of watch her work.”
Continued Sink, “And obviously she is a writer as well — she’s a poet I guess is a better way to put it, so to have that kind of mind directing the short film, it was really special and something that I don’t think I’d ever experienced before because she’s so visual and descriptive with her words… And to see how she made it come to life was pretty incredible.”
The actress also praised Taylor’s ability to connect with her actors and said that, even though directing was “unfamiliar” to the Grammy winner at the time, she “handled it as if she’d been doing it for the longest time.”
The “All Too Well” music video aired at the recent Tribeca Film Festival. During the “Storytellers: Taylor Swift” event, the “Shake It Off” singer said that she does see herself directing more projects.
Vulture reports Taylor thinks it “would be so fantastic to write a feature [film]” but admits she probably won’t like working with a huge crew. She says she prefers keeping her working circles small.
Taylor has directed 10 music videos, which the outlet notes is equivalent to the length of a feature film.

https://warm1069.com/kelly-clarkson-says-writing-completely-honest-new-music-has-been-the-hardest-thing-to-navigate/ | Kelly Clarkson just came out with her Kellyoke EP, which features studio versions of songs that she’s covered on her talk show. But when it comes releasing a new album of original music, Kelly says she’s been trying to balance her need to be completely honest while writing about her divorce with her need to keep some details of her life private.
Speaking to The Chart Show with Brooke Reese on Apple Music 1, Kelly says of her new music, “It’s been the hardest thing to navigate. I’ve never had this difficult of a project. It’s one of those things where I’m a human and I’m going through something huge. Obviously, everybody knows: It’s a big, huge divorce [that I] went through. And it’s been, like, two years and not easy — with kids, especially, that makes it just a whole different dynamic.”
“And so, going through something as a person … my outlet in general is just writing,” she says. “And so, I mean, I have to be completely honest … but I’m just navigating what I’m comfortable with releasing … because it’s in the public eye and there’s other people involved.”
Kelly points to one of the songs on the EP — her cover of Billie Eilish‘s “Happier Than Ever” — as the kind of thing she wants to be able to write.
“Those are the songs when you are completely honest and you’re angry and you’re sad and you’re hurt. And all those things, that equation makes for the best songs,” says Kelly.
She adds, “So it’s just a hard thing to navigate. It’s coming. I just got to get my crap together. I just got to figure out what I’m going to release.”

Later during their late-night show appearance, Sam teamed with Cat Burns to perform their song “Go.”

https://warm1069.com/ricky-martin-sued-for-3-million-over-alleged-breach-of-contract-and-mistreatment/ | Ricky Martin will have his day in court after an ex-manager sued him for $3 million.
Rebecca Drucker, who managed the “She Bangs” singer on two separate occasions, is claiming breach of contract. Drucker oversaw Ricky between 2014 and 2018 and again between 2020 and 2022.
The ex-manager alleges Ricky owes her $3 million in unpaid commissions, saying she is owed the dues for helping him with “recording contracts, touring and sponsorship deals, and other professional endeavors.”
The legal documents continue, “With Rebecca at his side, Martin made millions of dollars and therefore owes Rebecca substantial commissions.” The filing further alleges that Drucker’s second go at managing the two-time Grammy winner was when his “personal and professional life [was] in absolute turmoil.”
Elaborating further, the ex-manager said she helped Ricky dodge a “potentially career-ending allegation” that surfaced in 2020. She noted he “emerged unscathed and proceeded with his professional resurgence” because of her efforts.
In addition to these claims, Drucker alleges that Ricky is a horrible person to work for because he “fostered a toxic work environment wherein he constantly mistreated, manipulated, and lied to Rebecca, forcing her to resign as his manager in April 2022.”
The former manager adds she was “threatened” by the “Livin La Vida Loca” singer and claims he is “attempting to force her to sign an agreement with a nondisclosure clause to silence Rebecca about the abhorrent behavior by Martin that she has both witnessed and endured.”
“For years, she protected Martin from the consequences of his reckless indiscretions. Rebecca did so not only because she was his manager, but also because she thought that Martin was her dear friend,” the complaint reads.
Ricky, nor his team, has responded to Drucker’s suit and troubling allegations.

https://warm1069.com/what-song-would-save-you-from-vecna-let-spotifys-new-stranger-things-playlist-find-out/ | Stranger Things‘ season 4 introduced the vicious Vecna, who kills people by infiltrating their minds and killing them from the inside. He can be stopped, however, if his victim listens to their favorite song.
Sadie Sink‘s Max escapes Vecna’s clutches with an assist from Kate Bush‘s 1985 hit “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” — which, in turn, has caused the song to go viral.
But this has led Stranger Things fans to question what song would save them from certain death; if you don’t know, Spotify is here to help.
To amp people up for the final episodes of Stranger Things‘ latest season, Spotify has launched the “Upside Down Playlist,” which purportedly reveals your so-called “savior song.”
“Wanna know what songs would save YOU from vecna? head to your Upside Down Playlist on @Spotify to find out,” the streaming app teased on Twitter. “The first Song on the list = your savior song.”
If you’re a Spotify user, the app’s algorithm will hunt through the songs you’ve been listening to recently and determines which track is most likely to save you from certain death. In all, this new personal playlist offers you 50 tracks to keep you safe, should you find yourself in the Upside Down.
Volume two of Stranger Things season 4 arrives on Netflix this Friday, July 1.

https://warm1069.com/keeping-our-pets-safe-on-the-4th/ | Safety during July 4 celebrations:
- Leave your pets at home when you go to parties, fireworks displays, parades and other gatherings. Loud fireworks, unfamiliar places and crowds can all be very frightening to pets, and there’s great risk of pets becoming spooked and running away.
- Consider putting your pets in a safe, escape-proof room or crate during parties and fireworks.
- Keep horses and livestock in safely fenced areas and as far from the excitement and noise as possible.
- If you’re hosting guests, ask them to help keep an eye on your pets to make sure they don’t escape. Placing notes on exit doors and gates can help both you and your guests remain vigilant.
- Keep your pets inside if you or your neighbors are setting off fireworks.
- Keep sparklers, glow sticks, fireworks, charcoal and kabob skewers away from curious pets.
- Don’t let pets get near your barbecue grill while it is in use or still hot.
- Avoid the urge to feed your pets table scraps or other foods intended for people. Be especially careful to keep them away from these common foods that are actually toxic.
- Remember that too much sun and heat (and humidity!) can be dangerous to pets. Keep them inside when it’s extremely hot/humid; make sure they have access to shady spots and plenty of water when outdoors; don’t leave them outside for extended periods in hot weather; and know the signs that a pet may be overheating.
- Never leave your pet in your car when it’s warm outside. Vehicle interiors heat up much faster than the air around them, and even a short time in a locked car can be dangerous to pets.

https://warm1069.com/15-years-on-sara-bareilles-still-loves-little-voice-theres-something-really-honest-about-it/ | Fifteen years ago this Sunday, the world first heard Sara Bareilles‘ Little Voice. Her major label debut was released on July 3, 2007, and while the Grammy-nominated singer says there was a time when she wasn’t too crazy about it, she now loves it and feels like “there’s something really honest about that record.”
“I went through a long period of time where I actually didn’t love it and I felt, like, very critical,” Sara tells ABC Audio. “But I’ve sort of grown into the perspective of, like … they feel like snapshots. Albums are snapshots of a place in time.”
“I hear the youth in my voice,” she continues. “I hear things I was trying … inflection I was sort of putting on, and I don’t sing exactly the same way anymore. But I actually love it!”
“It was a really sweet season in my life,” Sarah recalls. “It was a really hard record to make. I cared about it so deeply, and so that’s what I hear when I hear the record. And I still think Eric Ross, who worked with me as a producer, did such a beautiful job.”
“The songs really came to life, and there’s something really honest about that record,” she concludes.
Little Voice features the fan favorite “Gravity,” as well as Sara’s biggest hit, “Love Song,” which earned two Grammy nominations. The album debuted at #45 on the Billboard album chart, but kept on climbing until finally, in March 2008, it peaked at #7. It’s since been certified Platinum.
In 2020, Little Voice inspired an Apple TV+ show of the same name, for which Sara wrote original songs, co-wrote episodes and also executive produced.

https://warm1069.com/god-bless-america-rachel-platten-says-pbs-a-capitol-fourth-will-be-healing-and-uniting/ | Rachel Platten is one of the many performers at this year’s A Capitol Fourth, a music and fireworks extravaganza on PBS. This will be the biggest concert the “Fight Song” artist has done since COVID-19 shut everything down and she’s pretty stoked about it.
“I am so excited to feel all the energy on the stage and from the audience and that rush of joy that is really irreplaceable, that I missed so, so dearly during the pandemic,” Rachel tells ABC Audio.
In addition to singing her hit “I’ll Stand By You,” Rachel will offer a special tribute to the nation’s military heroes and their families on the show, which airs Monday at 8 p.m. ET. She realizes people may not be feeling very patriotic these days, given recent events — but she thinks A Capitol Fourth can help bring people together.
“I feel like music is one of the most unifying things in the world. And with so much division right now and so much, I think, shared post-traumatic stress that we’ve all been feeling — and continuing trauma — we need something healing and uniting right now,” Rachel says. “So I’m really excited to get to share that force field of love that only music and art can provide.”
And, having gone through her own personal struggle with postpartum depression, Rachel says she’s ready to show people there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
“I’m trying to kind of look above the circumstances that are going on right now and remember that we are all sharing this human experience of hurting, longing, desire for love, desire to be free and desire to feel OK,” she notes.
She adds, “Music can be the thing that is incredibly healing … so, I’m excited to use the opportunity to spread joy and love and unification.”

https://warm1069.com/goo-goo-dolls-new-album-chaos-in-bloom-out-august-12-hear-new-single-yeah-i-like-you-now/ | Goo Goo Dolls will release a new studio album called Chaos In Bloom on August 12. It’s the follow-up to their 2019 album, Miracle Pill.
The album was recorded during the pandemic in a studio near near Woodstock, New York. In a statement, singer John Rzeznik says, “Chaos in Bloom reminded us how special this whole thing is and to cherish the relationships that we have together, where we’ve been, and where we’re going.”
Bassist Robby Takac adds that he’s been “been trying to have a relationship with the bigger picture and refining happiness and what it means from that perspective.”
You can watch the video now for the first single, “Yeah, I Like You.” John says this song is a comment on “a world that is just drowning in social media and internet stars,” adding, “Celebrity in this age has a very quick burn. It was hard not to be consumed by it during the pandemic.”
In the video, the band appears at a red-carpet event surrounded by social media influencers and fans, but the whole thing quickly devolves into a knock-down, drag-out brawl. Everyone then collectively decides that the video’s director — played by the actual director Keenan O’Reilly — is responsible, and they all go after him to administer a beat-down.
Before the video dropped, the band confused fans by posting an “apology” for the video, in which they said they were “unaware” of O’Reilly’s “true motives and do not endorse or condone his actions.” O’Reilly then posted a sarcastic apology of his own on his Instagram Story, writing, “I have embarrassed myself and my loved ones….I will accept whatever consequences what follow.”
Goo Goo Dolls’ tour kicks off July 15, and will feature them previewing songs from Chaos In Bloom, along with their hits and fan favorites.

https://warm1069.com/michael-buble-says-he-wants-to-mentor-young-singers-the-way-tony-bennett-mentored-him/ | Michael Bublé says he’s kept in touch with American Idol‘s Christian Guardino, noting that he wants to mentor the aspiring singer the same way his hero, Tony Bennett, mentored him.
“I have kept in touch and you know, he’s a great kid,” Michael told KABC. “This is what music is about and this is what our business is about and that is passing it on. The same way my heroes have done that for me.”
The “Sway” singer continued, “The way that Tony Bennett did that for me, it’s a real joy to do that for someone like Christian. It’s a lot of fun that show and it was a really beautiful moment for me.”
Michael also looked back at the final duet he and Christian performed on American Idol and said of their performance of “Smile,” I thought that we kicked butt in that performance and I was really happy for him.”
The Grammy winner credits Dancing with the Stars judge Derek Hough for putting him back in touch with Christian. Speaking of Derek, would the Canadian crooner ever think about putting on his dancing shoes and competing for the DWTS Mirrorball Trophy?
“No, I don’t think so,” Michael admitted. “I love that community, I love the dancing community. You know, I’m the brother of two sisters that had a real dance mom and so I went to all the recitals and everything and I think it’s a real beautiful life and I love Derek very much.”
Fans interested in seeing what kind of moves Michael can do, check out the music video for “Higher,” which was choreographed by Hough.
As for Michael, he’s happy being a “Dance Dad.” He recently revealed on Instagram that his 3-year-old daughter, Vida, is continuing her family legacy and has started dance class.

https://warm1069.com/michael-jackson-biopic-confirmed-to-be-in-the-works-says-nephew-tj-jackson/ | TJ Jackson has some news for Michael Jackson fans — his uncle is next in getting the biopic treatment.
Daily Mirror caught up with TJ, the son of Tito Jackson, and he said a Michael Jackson movie is “going to happen.” If TJ could have any input, he would hope the biopic focuses solely on his uncle’s musical accomplishments and steers clear of the allegations that have tarnished his reputation.
After Michael’s death, HBO released a documentary titled Leaving Neverland, which looked into those unsavory accusations. The documentary caused radio stations to temporarily remove Michael’s music from rotation.
“Now that he’s no longer with us, there couldn’t be an easier target. Everyone knows who Michael Jackson is. So it’s an easy story to sell. But I truly believe truth always wins out,” TJ offered.
“The importance my family had in Black culture first, Black people, and allowing people of all nationalities to idolise a Black family or Black figures is something I think gets lost,” he continued. “To become, you know, sex symbols for our huge band and number one in the early 70s as Black kids is an incredible accomplishment. That story needs to be amplified in my opinion. So I think there will be a Jackson story, a biopic.”
TJ added, “But I am just proud my family has done what they have done and they are the people they are and I feel incredibly blessed to have that last name, Jackson.”
Deadline previously reported Graham King, producer of Bohemian Rhapsody, obtained the rights from Jackson’s estate to make a movie about the late King of Pop, including — most importantly — the rights to all of his music.
Lionsgate acquired the upcoming biopic in February, but a release date has yet to be announced.

https://warm1069.com/pink-declares-hateful-messages-directed-at-her-and-her-kids-dont-move-my-needle/ | Pink had one defiant message to her haters — stop wasting your breath.
Taking to her Instagram Story on Thursday, the “What About Us” hitmaker hoped to shake some common sense into her critics by letting them know they’re wasting their time trying to bring her down.
“Upon my deathbed – if I am asked these questions: ‘Did you work hard? Make the world a better place ? Did you fight for equality at all costs? Did you stay true to yourself? Did you help strangers? OR Did you choose your career and take the safe ground and keep your mouth shut for profit and safety?’ I won’t even have to answer,” Pink wrote.
She said she would “be smiling [and] completely at peace” with all her life’s choices.
“And even you telling me I’m irrelevant and that my kids are ugly doesn’t move my needle,” the Grammy winner closed. “May your god forgive You. I’m right with mine.”
Pink has spoken openly against the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which had guaranteed a woman’s constitutional right to have an abortion. The singer took to Twitter shortly after the decision was released and told fans, “Let’s be clear: if you believe the government belongs in a woman’s uterus, a gay persons business or marriage, or that racism is okay- THEN PLEASE IN THE NAME OF YOUR LORD NEVER F***KING LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AGAIN. AND ALSO F**K RIGHT OFF. We good?”
Pink’s activism was recently recognized by the Songwriters of North America, who will present her a SONA Warrior Award later this month. She will be celebrated not only for her activism but also for her philanthropy, advocacy and musical accomplishments.

https://warm1069.com/ed-sheeran-helps-open-new-music-center-by-raffling-off-his-guitar/ | A new music center is open in Suffolk, England, thanks to Ed Sheeran‘s generosity.
BBC reports the “Bad Habits” singer raffled off one of his guitars, and the funds were enough to help open the SRH Music Ark at a primary school in his hometown. The guitar helped raise £52,765, which is roughly $63,000, for the charity auction.
The Grammy winner had the acoustic guitar specially designed for the fundraiser and worked with Northern Ireland instrument maker George Lowden. Ed had an equals sign etched into the piece’s fretboard inlays in honor of his new album =. Ed then promised to sign the guitar for whoever won it at the raffle.
A local hospital worker named Kellie Myers took home the guitar and said her two teenage sons, 14-year-old Harry and 13-year-old Jacob are thrilled to bits — especially since the “Shivers” singer wrote on it, “Henry + Jacob! Play this guitar!”
The center will now open at Sir Robert Hitcham’s Primary School in Framlingham; the school’s students are thankful for Ed’s good deed. The elementary schoolers say their new center is a “beautiful place.”
One youngster told BBC, “It’s such a privilege to have our own music space for our school and there’s many thanks for Ed Sheeran and all his team.”
Head teacher Helen Picton adds the center was made in mind for each and every student. “We have a music pod that is open to all to our neurodivergent children, we have a disabled toilet so we can have disabled facilities for the children,” she explained. “Music is the heart of our school and to actually have this wonderful resource here is a very emotional thing.”

https://warm1069.com/kate-bush-reviews-final-stranger-things-season-4-episodes-theyre-just-through-the-roof/ | As the takes about the second volume of Stranger Things season 4 are pouring in, we finally have the most important review: the one from Kate Bush.
The English artist, whose 1985 song “Running Up That Hill” has been a huge, resurgent hit over the past month due to its placement in the first volume of season 4, has now revealed her thoughts on the final two episodes, which premiered Friday on Netflix.
“They’re just through the roof,” Bush writes in a spoiler-free post on her website. “I’d only seen the scenes that directly involved the use of [‘Running Up That Hill’] and so I didn’t know how the story would evolve or build.”
Bush adds that she was “so delighted” when Stranger Things creators, the Duffer Brothers, reached out about using “Running Up That Hill” as a “totem” for the character Max. But now that she’s finished the season, she feels “deeply honored that the song was chosen to become a part of their roller coaster journey.”
“I can’t imagine the amount of hard work that’s gone into making something on this scale,” she writes. “I am in awe. They’ve made something really spectacular.”
Since “Running Up That Hill” was first used in the Stranger Things episodes that premiered in May, the song has run up many, many charts, reaching the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 — a career first for Bush — and #1 on the U.K.’s Official Singles chart, where it’s stayed for three straight weeks.
The song’s resurgence led the normally press-shy Bush to issue several public statements and even give a rare interview.

Adele even appeared to address her Las Vegas residency, which has yet to be rescheduled. “I know a lot of things have happened with this album, I know a lot of you feel let down and I’m mortified,” she said, according to to Variety. “But I take my music very seriously and I had to do that.”
According to setlist.fm, here’s full list of what Adele sang Friday in London, as part of Hyde Park’s British Summer Time festival:
“Hello”
“I Drink Wine”
“I’ll Be Waiting”

https://warm1069.com/babies-on-a-diet/ | Starting babies on the “Nordic Diet” may hold the key to beating childhood obesity.
Starting babies on the “Nordic Diet” may hold the key to beating childhood obesity, researchers say. An international team found that this diet is rich in low-protein foods like berries, fish, root vegetables, and whole grains, and can instill healthier eating habits.
Infants four to six months-old consumed small portions of these foods, as well as breast or formula milk. A year later, they were eating almost double the number of vegetables than those fed conventional baby foods.
Lead author Dr. Ulrica Johansson, a pediatrician at the University of Umeå, says there did not appear to be any side-effects.
A Nordic diet with reduced protein introduced to infants naïve to this model of eating, increased the intake of fruit, berries, vegetables, and roots, establishing a preferable eating pattern lasting over a 12-month period. | true | false | y0_only | warm1069 | 20220702 |
https://warm1069.com/adele-says-she-was-a-shell-of-a-person-after-brutal-reaction-to-las-vegas-postponement/ | The backlash that Adele experienced after she abruptly called off her Las Vegas residency back in January turned her into a “shell of a person,” the singer told told BBC Radio.
Appearing on an episode of BBC Radio 4’s program Desert Island Discs, which aired on Sunday night, Adele revealed, “I definitely felt everyone’s disappointment and I was devastated and I was frightened about letting them down. I thought I could pull it together and make it work and I couldn’t, and I stand by that decision.”
However, Adele admitted, “I was a shell of a person for a couple of months,” she continued. “I just had to wait it out and just grieve it, I guess, just grieve the shows and get over the guilt, but it was brutal.”
Adele insisted that the show as it was simply wasn’t “good enough,” adding, “I’m not going to just do a show because I have to or because people are going to be let down or because we’re going to lose loads of money.”
Addressing why she hasn’t given fans any updates as to when the residency might be rescheduled, Adele told the program, “Of course I could be someone on TikTok or Instagram Live every day being like, ‘I’m working on it.’ Of course I’m working on it! I’m not gonna update you if I ain’t got nothing to update you with because that just leads to more disappointment.”
In February, Adele told talk show host Graham Norton that the residency would “absolutely 100%” happen this year. On Friday, the BBC reports, she told the audience at her concert in London’s Hyde Park that she’d been announcing the dates “very, very soon,” and she was waiting for one more piece of equipment to be ready.

https://warm1069.com/backstreet-boys-joined-by-drake-for-i-want-it-that-way-one-of-the-greatest-songs-of-all-time/ | Backstreet Boys had a surprise sixth member on stage with them when they played Toronto over the weekend: Drake.
The superstar rapper joined Backstreet for their signature song “I Want It That Way,” and shared a touching story about why the 1999 hit means so much to him.
Drake, whose mother is Jewish, told the crowd that when he was 13, he had a bar mitzvah, which is the traditional Jewish coming-of-age ritual for boys. And it was at his bar mitzvah, Drake says, when, “for the first time in my life, this girl I was in love with came up to me while one of the greatest songs in the world was playing, and she asked me if I would dance with her.”
That song, of course, was “I Want It That Way.” Drake told the audience, “It was the first time I ever felt acknowledged, and it was the first time I ever felt like I had a shot at being cool.”
You can watch Drake’s speech and the entire performance in fan-recorded video on YouTube.
Backstreet Boys are currently on their DNA World Tour. They’ll perform in Burgettstown, PA Tuesday night.

https://warm1069.com/confusion-mounts-over-streaming-services-pulling-three-michael-jackson-songs-from-platforms/ | Why have three Michael Jackson songs vanished from streaming services? After some crazy rumors popped up, his people are clearing the air.
American Songwriter reports that three tracks off his 2010 posthumous album, Michael, were removed from streaming. The songs “Breaking News,” “Keep Your Head Up” and his 50 Cent collab, “Monster,” were also purged from the official Michael Jackson YouTube channel.
It should be noted that some fans believe Michael never sang on these three tracks and have been spreading theories since the songs came out over a decade ago. The songs in question are also part of an ongoing lawsuit filed in 2014 by Vera Serova, who insists the tunes are fraudulent.
Those rumors gained serious traction after streamers purged the three songs — so Michael’s reps came forward with an official statement to clear the air.
A spokesperson clarified that taking the songs off streaming platforms “had nothing to do with their authenticity.”
“The Estate and Sony Music believe the continuing conversation about the tracks is distracting the fan community and casual Michael Jackson listeners from focusing their attention where it should be,” the statement continued, “on Michael’s legendary and deep music catalog.”
It is unknown when or if these three songs will be restored across all streaming platforms.

https://warm1069.com/harry-styles-as-it-was-tops-billboard-hot-100-again-sets-record/ | Harry Styles is once again flying high atop the Billboard Hot 100 after “As It Was” went back to the number one spot this week.
Billboard reports that “As It Was” has not only scored its eighth total week at the top of the chart but is also the fourth song in history to return to number one multiple times.
To recap, the Grammy winner’s song didn’t enjoy multiple consecutive weeks on top of the chart and was regularly bounced out of first place. After it first went to number one, debuting on the April 16th chart, it was bumped from the spot by Jack Harlow‘s “First Class” when the chart updated the following week.
Other songs to temporarily knock Harry from atop the chart was Future‘s “Wait for U” featuring Drake and Tems and most recently, Drake and 21 Savage‘s “Jimmy Cooks.”
This makes Harry’s fourth overall rebound on the chart, and to date, that track is among just a handful of songs that accomplished the same feat. Mariah Carey‘s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” notched four separate number one stays as well as 24kGoldn and Iann Dior‘s “Mood” and Drake’s 2018 song “Nice for What.”
“As It Was” was streamed 18.6 million times over the past week and sold an additional 5,000 copies. Billboard also notes the track is currently leading its annual Songs of the Summer chart for a fifth week — that particular offering is only active from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

https://warm1069.com/justin-timberlake-sued-over-shelved-the-20-20-experience-documentary/ | Prior to releasing his 2013 album, The 20/20 Experience, Justin Timberlake made a documentary to accompany its release — but it never saw the light of day. Now, the film’s director is suing Justin.
Deadline reports the suit was brought on by music video mogul John Urbano, who claims he and Justin locked in a profit-sharing plan before cameras began rolling. He alleges the Grammy winner initiated the agreement and paid him $20,000 to begin.
The director said the video was finished, and upon showing the final product to the “Mirrors” singer, Justin was moved to “tears.” After dropping his third studio album, however, Justin’s interest in releasing the documentary “faded” following the album’s resounding success.
Urbano notes that he lost out on making $2.5 million because the documentary was shelved.
“Instead of fulfilling his obligations to the joint venture, Mr. Timberlake has failed to take any steps to promote, market, and sell the Making of The 20/20 Experience,” the lawsuit states. “Mr. Timberlake has increasingly distanced himself from the project and his partner — often using a network of agents, managers, and handlers to interface with Mr. Urbano.”
Aside from monetary damages, Urbano demands Justin fork over the rights to the Making of the 20/20 Experience movie.
Justin nor his agency have responded to Deadline’s request for comment at this time, nor have they issued a statement on the lawsuit.
The 20/20 Experience was released in 2013 as a follow-up to his 2010 work, 12″ Masters – The Essential Mixes.
His third studio album earned him several nods at the 2014 Grammy Awards — winning Best Music Video for “Suit & Tie” and Best R&B Song for “Pusher Love Girl.”

https://warm1069.com/katy-perry-faces-online-criticism-over-fourth-of-july-tweet/ | Critics were not feeling Katy Perry‘s Independence Day post.
On Monday, July 4, the pop star published a tweet sharing her point of view in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which led to many states outlawing abortions almost immediately.
“‘Baby you’re a firework’ is a 10 but women in the US have fewer rights than an actual sparkler smh,” Katy wrote, referencing her 2010 song.
While the tweet conveys an abortion rights stance, Katy is facing criticism because she previously publicly supported billionaire Rick Caruso‘s run for Mayor of Los Angeles. The issue? Caruso is viewed as someone who holds an anti-abortion stance, despite his current campaign which touts that he is in favor of abortion rights.
In the past, Caruso reportedly donated nearly a million dollars to lawmakers who say they oppose abortion, including former presidential candidate John Kasich and Republican leaders Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy. In May, he was called out by Planned Parenthood for supporting “some of the strongest enemies [of] reproductive rights in the country.”
The responses under Katy’s July 4th tweet were flooded with people calling her out for supporting Caruso.
“You supported an anti-abortion mayoral candidate in the last 30 days,” one social media user responded, reposting the “Firework” singer’s June 4 tweet showing support of Caruso.
Another tweeted, “Girl you endorsed Rick Caruso maybe sit this one out.”
“Hey remember literally a month ago when you tweeted out support for a dude that has donated millions of dollars to forced birth politicians?” yet another commented.

https://warm1069.com/mamma-mia-abba-to-host-tiktok-live-concert-on-wednesday/ | If you missed seeing ABBA at the Voyage concert series last May, you now have another chance to see them perform. The hitmakers are coming together for an upcoming live concert, set for Wednesday on TikTok.
The Swedish pop icons announced their upcoming show on Monday and shared a video of them working hard at rehearsal.
Fans also took note of some special foot attire Björn Ulvaeus sported during the promo shot — his iconic platform boots. Last month, he shared a hilarious video of him mourning his favorite footwear and wrote, “Those shoes went out of style decades ago… they’re never coming back.”
In this new video, Ulvaeus is sitting at a piano and the camera pans down to his feet to show he’s wearing knee-high white platform boots that are embossed with a very familiar glittery silver design.
Boots aside, the video also shows Agnetha Fältskog, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad gearing up for their new show by singing at the microphone, holding up throwback photos of the group and hashing things out in the studio.
No other hints about what the concert will entail were provided in the preview. “ABBA live on TikTok July 6th!” the hitmakers wrote in the caption.
No time was mentioned for the upcoming show, but several sleuthers claim it’ll air at 5 p.m. London time, which is noon ET.

https://warm1069.com/music-notes-pink-michael-buble-and-sara-bareilles/ | Pink teased that she has new music on the way after tangling with online haters. She landed in a firestorm after telling those who support the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade to never listen to her music again. “When they tell you to ‘shut up and sing’…. Okay then,” Pink tweeted while sharing a snap of a microphone and piano.
Michael Bublé is a major Marvel fan, but he was disappointed to learn his wax figure at London’s Madame Tussauds isn’t part of the Marvel display. “I’ve submitted a formal request to be placed beside Iron Man….. like a sidekick or a personal assistant,” he captioned the comical video. Once he finds his wax figure, he tests its likeness by seeing if it can unlock his smartphone. Spoiler: he pretends it does and later admits he was acting.
Sara Bareilles celebrated three new RIAA certifications over the weekend. Her debut album Little Voice is officially twice Platinum, while her breakout hit “Love Song” is six times Platinum; single “Gravity” is also twice Platinum. She received the plaque from the RIAA and, in an Instagram Story, jokingly inflated how many copies you have to sell to reach Platinum status — think trillions. Sara just celebrated the 15th anniversary of her debut album.

https://warm1069.com/olivia-rodrigo-sneaks-into-uk-dive-bar-unexpectedly-covers-natalie-imbruglias-torn/ | Those enjoying a night out at a dive bar in Manchester, England got the surprise of their life — an impromptu Olivia Rodrigo concert.
It should be noted that the legal drinking age in the U.K. is 18, so the 19-year-old singer had no problem getting into the Bunny Jackson pub. A fan snagged footage of the unexpected moment, which begins with Olivia taking the stage and declaring, “You guys, I am dead sober” and that a member of her team “is making me do this.”
The Grammy winner then launches into a cover of Natalie Imbruglia‘s 1997 hit “Torn,” to which the crowd sings along. She serenades patrons, leaning over the protective barrier several times to sing with her fans.
The drummer of a different band that had been performing at the dive bar shared alternative footage on Twitter and jokingly wrote, “Why yes Olivia Rodrigo, of course you can turn up at Bunny Jacksons on a bloody Sunday evening and play a song for a laugh before our 3rd set.”
When Olivia’s fans asked for clarification, he added, “mate, it was wild. They just showed up after playing the arena and her TM asked to jump on between our sets! They were all very lovely.”
While the band member claimed he didn’t jam with Olivia because “her band was there,” he noted he “just leant my stuff out” for them to use.
Olivia is wrapping up her sold-out SOUR world tour this week, with the final two stops taking place July 6 and July 7 at the Eventim Apollo in London.

https://warm1069.com/taylor-swifts-stalker-arrested-jailed-slapped-with-protection-order/ | A man who allegedly stalked Taylor Swift “across multiple states,” including New York, was arrested and charged with stalking and criminal trespass over the weekend, the New York Post reports.
Police said 35-year-old Joshua Christian went to Taylor’s New York City home in March and on June 12. According to the assistant district attorney, Christian allegedly spoke into the intercom at the property and said, “You’re holding her prisoner and I need to set her free.”
In March, Christian allegedly got into Swift’s New York City home through an unlocked door and stayed there until security confronted him. At Christian’s arraignment in Manhattan criminal court, a prosecutor said that Christian had traveled to Taylor’s house in Tennessee as well. The police are also investigating an additional incident of alleged stalking.
A judge issued a full order of protection for Christian to stay away from Taylor. He set bail at $1, but also sent Christian to jail without bail for fleeing a reckless driving charge in Florida. He has a July 28 court date in that case.
The New York Post reports that during Christian’s court appearance, he yelled that he was a Christian scientist, said he didn’t want his Legal Aid lawyer to represent him, and called the proceedings “the worst miscarriage of justice since the crucifixion of Christ Jesus.”
Christian’s lawyer has requested that Christian undergo a psychiatric and mental evaluation.

During an episode of BBC Radio 4’s program Desert Island Discs, the singer revealed she’d love to expand her family one day.

Adele, who’s currently dating Rich Paul, also opened up about being a mom to nine-and-a-half-year-old Angelo, whom she shares with ex Simon Konecki.
“Good, bad, strange. I love being a mom,” she said.
Adele said her son is now at an age where he appreciates music and she gets to share that with him.
“Angelo has just fallen in love with music,” she said. “He’s been into video games the last few years, which is very much his dad’s area, not mine. We sit down and have the most intense conversations about music.”
She continued, “We sit down and we listen to these songs together and we pick them apart. And when we’re talking about it, he’s like, ‘What do you think this means?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know. It could mean this, it could mean that.’ It’s just heavenly.”

https://warm1069.com/brad-pitt-wants-to-meet-you-if/ | If you have prosopagnosia, Brad Pitt wants to meet you.
Brad Pitt believes he suffers from prosopagnosia, a rare “face blindness” disorder — but “nobody believes” him.
The Oscar winner, 58, said in his August 2022 GQ cover story that he wants “to meet another” person who also experiences the condition.
Pitt, who has not been formally diagnosed, worries about appearing “remote … aloof, inaccessible [and] self-absorbed” while struggling to recognize faces, according to the article.
The “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” star first spoke about his suspicions that he has prosopagnosia in 2013.
“So many people hate me because they think I’m disrespecting them,” he told Esquire at the time.
“Every now and then, someone will give me context, and I’ll say, ‘Thank you for helping me,’” he continued.
Although he tried “copping” to his struggles at one point, he said he only “piss[ed] more people off.”
Pitt explained, “You get this thing, like, ‘You’re being egotistical. You’re being conceited.’”
The “Fury” star told the outlet that facial features are “a mystery,” explaining, “I can’t grasp a face, and yet I come from such a design/aesthetic point of view. I am going to get it tested. … That’s why I stay at home.”

The singer just posted an Instagram video of herself opening up a package from none other than Gwen Stefani and revealing that it’s chock-full of items from Gwen’s new makeup line, GXVE.
“Uh, thank you beautiful woman that I love for my gorgeous presents!” sings Pink as she opens the box and admires the haul, which appears to include products for lips, eyes and cheeks. She then sings, “I cannot wait to try them and hopefully after I do, I look like you!”
In her post, Pink, who ironically is makeup-free, also models a red GXVE hoodie that was apparently part of the package.
It’s nice that Gwen took time out from celebrating her one-year anniversary of marriage to Blake Shelton to send Pink the gift.

Basically, Adele revived a year-old meme that mashed her song with the “Body” choreography Megan performed at the American Music Awards because they are perfectly in sync. The trend took off on TikTok, with people also busting the “Savage” rapper’s dance moves while listening to Adele.
So, when the powerhouse singer took over BST Hyde Park over the weekend, Adele joined in on the trend by pantomiming Meg’s moves when belting out “Water Under the Bridge.”

The first trailer dropped Wednesday. According to Variety, the “original romantic crime epic” is set in the 30s and centers on three characters, played by Christian Bale, John David Washington and Margot Robbie, who “find themselves at the center of one of the most secret plots in American history.”
The group forges a bond to protect each other as they get swept up in a conspiracy in which they’re falsely accused of murdering an important individual. As the trailer promises, you find out how they “altered the course of American history.”
While Taylor isn’t shown much in the first Amsterdam trailer, we do get a brief glimpse of her. The Grammy winner is seen toward the end of the two-minute clip — her richly dressed character looks distraught.
This marks Taylor’s first big-screen role following 2019’s critically panned movie musical, CATS.
Amsterdam, also starring Robert De Niro, Mike Myers, Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Rock, Rami Malek and Zoe Saldaña, arrives exclusively in theaters on November 4.

https://warm1069.com/dirty-dancing-to-celebrate-35th-anniversary-with-new-collectible-cassette-and-vinyl-soundtrack-release/ | It’s hard to believe Dirty Dancing came out almost 35 years ago. To celebrate its milestone anniversary, fans of the romantic film will soon be able to get their hands on commemorative editions of its best-selling soundtrack.
RCA Records and Legacy Recordings announced in a press release that they will reissue the iconic soundtrack with an all-new collectible color cassette edition as well as a 2LP vinyl set.
The cassette tape will come with an all-new cover and honor both Side A and Side B of the best-selling album by “showcasing these twelve classic tracks the way they’re meant to be heard.”
If you need a refresher, the Dirty Dancing soundtrack was stuffed with hit songs, including the standout track “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes. Also accompanying that hit on Side A is star Patrick Swayze‘s “She’s Like the Wind” as well as Eric Carmen‘s “Hungry Eyes” and The Ronettes‘ “Be My Baby.”
The cassette drops Friday, August 19 and is available to pre-order on Amazon.
As for the vinyl collection, it’ll come with two records titled Dirty Dancing (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) and More Dirty Dancing. It’ll arrive Wednesday, August 24. That is also available to preorder on MondoShop.com.
The soundtrack is one of the best-selling albums of all time. RIAA recently minted the Dirty Dancing soundtrack 14-times Platinum — meaning it sold over 14 million copies in the U.S. alone. On a global scale, over 32 million copies flew off the shelves when it was released in July 1987, cementing its status as one of the best-selling albums of all time.
The soundtrack also dominated the Billboard 200 for four months — or 18 weeks — after it was released.

“Torn” was first recorded in Danish by Lis Sørensen, and then in English in 1994 by the band Ednaswap. It was recorded a third time in 1996 by a singer named Trine Rein. When Natalie released it as her debut single in 1997, it went on to become a worldwide smash, selling more than four million copies.

Social media is in stitches over the uproarious resurfaced outtake, in which the “Seinfeld” and “Veep” star dropped an epic S-bomb during a cameo on the classic kid’s show. The curse-laden clip apparently originated 1994, but is suddenly going viral on Reddit and Twitter, racking up millions of fresh views.
The 30-second blooper starts off with 61-year-old TV icon shares a scene Muppets Elmo and Zoe. The take goes belly-up after Louis-Dreyfus says the wrong name, and then subsequently utters an audible “s–t” after realizing her mistake.
The sitcom star attempts to apologize for firing off the profanity, whereupon Elmo, staying in character, acknowledges that she “said a bad word” — but still asks her for “$5” for the swear jar.
“You’re going to be a rich Muppet at the end of this day,” retorts Louis-Dreyfus, while prepping to redo the take.

In his powerful and deeply vulnerable memoir, Toy Cars: One man’s journey from trauma to triumph, Spiteri dives into the trauma of being brutally abused, groomed and manipulated by the actions of a vicious pedophile. It is a ”coming-of-age” story, a tour-de-force that ushers the reader into the world of abuse, addiction, sex, drugs and violence.in words poetic, as well as raw and real, Spiteri paints a stunning masterpiece of triumph over tragedy; a powerful canvas of self-discovery, therapeutic growth and self-love. Spiteri offers a cautionary tale for all parents who are raising children; and an anthem of survival for anyone who has suffered the difficulties of youth.
In our search for a better life, Toy Cars proves that love and healing are possible. | true | false | y0_only | warm1069 | 20220708 |
