https://warm1069.com/ricky-martins-nephew-withdraws-case-after-court-dismisses-restraining-order/ | Ricky Martin said “Truth prevails” after a court dismissed the restraining order his nephew filed against him.
As previously reported, Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, 21, filed a domestic abuse restraining order against the “Livin’ La Vida Loca” singer in Puerto Rico and accused Ricky of engaging in a seven-month relationship with him. He claimed he “feared for his safety” after the singer allegedly began stalking him following the end of their alleged relationship.
Ricky’s attorney had called the allegations “untrue” and “disgusting.”
A Puerto Rican court dismissed Sanchez’s restraining order on Thursday, and Ricky’s legal team told ABC News in a statement they are pleased with the outcome.
“Just as we had anticipated, the temporary protection order was not extended by the Court. The accuser confirmed to the court that his decision to dismiss the matter was his alone, without any outside influence or pressure, and the accuser confirmed he was satisfied with his legal representation in the matter,” the team said.
They continued, “The request came from the accuser asking to dismiss the case. This was never anything more than a troubled individual making false allegations with absolutely nothing to substantiate them.”
“We are glad that our client saw justice done and can now move forward with his life and his career,” the statement concluded.
Ricky came under fire earlier this month when a judge allowed Sanchez’s restraining order to go into effect under Law 54, which is Puerto Rico’s Domestic Abuse Prevention and Intervention Act.
Ricky’s lawyer, Marty Singer, told ABC News that the claims were fabricated and made by someone who is “struggling with deep mental health challenges.” They also expressed hope for Sanchez to get the help “he so urgently needs.”
Sanchez, nor his legal team, have spoken publicly about the case.

https://warm1069.com/ricky-martin-speaks-out-after-judge-rejects-nephews-restraining-order/ | Ricky Martin broke his silence about his nephew’s troubling allegations now that a judge has sided with the “Livin’ La Vida Loca” singer.
Ricky addressed fans hours after a Puerto Rican court dismissed the restraining order his nephew, 21-year-old Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, filed against him.
“I’m in front of the cameras today because I really need to talk in order for me to start my healing process,” he said in a video shared by TMZ. “For two weeks, I was not allowed to defend myself because I was following a procedure where the law obligated me not to talk until I was in front of a judge.”
Sanchez accused Ricky of engaging in a seven-month relationship with him and, when filing for protection, claimed he “feared for his safety.” He claimed the singer began stalking him following the end of their alleged relationship.
“Thank God [these] claims were proven to be false,” the Grammy winner declared, “but I’m going to tell you the truth. It has been so painful. It has been devastating for me, for my family, for my friends. I don’t wish this upon anybody.”
Ricky also had words for his nephew, saying, “To the person that was claiming this nonsense, I wish him the best. And I wish he finds the help so he can start a new life filled with love and truth and joy and he doesn’t hurt anybody else.”
The singer said he is going to focus on healing. “And how do I heal? With music. I cannot wait to be back on stage. I cannot wait to be back in front of the cameras and entertain, which is what I do best,” he declared.
Ricky ended his video message by thanking those who supported him.

https://warm1069.com/music-notes-cyndi-lauper-pink-joe-jonas-lady-gaga-billy-joel-and-sara-bareilles/ | Pink declares in her fiery protest anthem “Irrelevant” that “Girls just wanna have rights” — a play on Cyndi Lauper’s 1983 hit “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.” Well, the song got a seal of approval from Cyndi, who tweeted out, “Yessss! Loving @Pink’s new song. #GirlsJustWantToHaveRights!”
Joe Jonas cheekily responded to the New York Yankees signing slugger Shane Gray. For those out of the loop, that’s the name of Joe’s Camp Rock character. He posted a video of himself wearing a similar shaggy hairstyle from the 2008 movie and edited a Yankee’s cap on his head. “The yankees just signed a big hitter,” he joked in the caption.
Fans want to know what shade Lady Gaga has on her lips during her Chromatica Ball tour and she happily told them it’s her Atomic Shake Lip Lacquer from her Haus Labs beauty line. She suggested that you shake the bottle and let it dry on your lips for 15 seconds to get the same effect. “You do not smack them,” she sternly warned.
Billy Joel kept the audience laughing at his sold-out show at Madison Square Garden, saying he does not have a glass eye but he does have “a wooden leg.” Page Six adds he also covered The Beatles‘ “A Day in the Life” and said he wished he wrote it. He also admitted he can’t hit the same high notes he did when he was younger, adding, “You’ll know which one I’m talking about … This could be a cringefest,” when singing “An Innocent Man.”
Sara Bareilles had to bow out of a performance of Into The Woods because she’s under the weather. She explained on her Instagram Story, “I am definitely fighting something. I woke up this morning not feeling great.” She tried powering through the matinee but “it knocked me out.” She doesn’t know what she’s come down with. Feel better, Sara!

https://warm1069.com/watch-harry-styles-and-florence-pugh-lose-their-minds-in-new-dont-worry-darling-trailer/ | A disturbing new trailer for Don’t Worry Darling — starring Harry Styles and Florence Pugh — arrived Thursday, and it’s bound to give you the creeps.
The new trailer explores the crumbling mental state of Harry and Pugh’s respective characters, Jack and Alice, who live in an idyllic, experimental town housing project built to meet every resident’s needs.
While Jack seems hellbent on keeping what he has, yelling, “I gave you all of this, Alice,” his wife finds herself consumed by nightmares and begins questioning reality. One jarring scene finds her euphorically wrapping her head in plastic wrap while she says in a voiceover, “They’re lying about everything,” as she suffocates.
The trailer hints that perhaps the Victory Project isn’t based in reality — but in a dream world. A brief, one-second flash shows a sickly Alice lying in a hospital bed with her eyes held open by a contraption. Other hints left in the trailer show her breaking open a bunch of eggs that are empty on the inside.
Alice warns in another voiceover that the project is “all about control” as the scene pans to Chris Pine‘s character, Frank, shouting, “Whose world is it?” The camera cuts to a defiant Jack, who beats his chest as he bellows along with the rest of the men, “Ours!”
Don’t Worry Darling is due out September 23.
Harry is also set to star in another film, My Policeman, which is set to have its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, which runs September 8 through September 18. The movie’s theatrical and streaming premiere is set for October 21.

Since April 2022, Griner was officially classified as a wrongful detention by the U.S. State Department, which signals that regardless of the status of her league case, the U.S. Government will seek to negotiate her release.

https://warm1069.com/pat-benatar-refuses-to-sing-hit-me-with-your-best-shot-to-protest-gun-violence/ | If you hope Pat Benatar sings “Hit Me with Your Best Shot” the next time you see her in concert — you’re out of luck. The Grammy winner has retired the song to protest gun violence.
“I’m sorry, in deference to the victims of the families of these mass shootings, I’m not singing it,” she told USA Today. “(The title) is tongue in cheek, but you have to draw the line. I can’t say those words out loud with a smile on my face, I just can’t.”
The rocker continued, “I’m not going to go on stage and soap box — I go to my legislators — but that’s my small contribution to protesting.”
Benatar says fans are “having a heart attack” that she has permanently shelved the song, but has this to say to those who are upset by her decision: “I’m not going to sing it. Tough.”
The “Heartbreaker” singer notes the 1980 song, which is RIAA-certified Gold, is part of her “holy 14” songs that fans want to hear or they’ll “give us (a hard time).”
In place of “Hit Me with Your Best Shot,” she told the outlet, “We’re doing a lot of songs we don’t always play, like ‘In the Heat of the Night’ and ‘I Need a Lover.'”
Benatar, who is 69, reflected on the numerous tragedies she’s witnessed over the years. While she is disturbed by the rise in mass shootings, she’s also concerned about the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
“I’m worried, like all of us, about fundamental autonomy rights. This is a slippery slope. It’s about not abortion for me. I’m concerned that people are not paying attention to what this actually means,” she explained.
Because of that, Benatar says her song “Invincible” is more important than ever.

https://warm1069.com/taylor-swift-crashes-haims-concert-in-london-leads-love-story-singalong/ | We haven’t heard from Taylor Swift in a while, but she came out of hiding on Thursday night to join HAIM onstage during their concert in London.
Taylor also broke her social media hiatus by sharing a TikTok video of a fake fashion faux pas. It starts with HAIM putting on their black leather stage outfits then pans to the “Shake It Off” singer who is wearing the same exact thing.
HAIM sends a judgemental look over to Taylor, who stares back at them with a guilty expression. As this is going on, Children’s Song Factory‘s whimsical song “Copycat” is blaring in the background.
“Hitting copypaste on your friends’ looks like @haimtheband,” she captioned the post.
HAIM was performing at London’s O2 arena on Thursday, which is their final U.K. date before they resume touring in North America. To celebrate, their old friend decided to crash the show.
A video taken by one fan sees Taylor strutting across the stage and telling the crowd, “I heard that my girls were playing in London at the O2 and I thought, ‘I’m gonna have to see them!’ And it looks like there’s about 20,000 other people who also thought that.”
“So, we had a thought,” she teased. “That if we were to do some sort of mashup, we can possibly, maybe, get you to sing the loudest that you’ve ever sung all night.” While the Grammy winner joked it might be “a challenge” for the crowd, the audience went wild as she began singing “Love Story” and mashed it up with HAIM’s hit “Gasoline.”
Taylor has a special connection to “Gasoline.” She appeared on a remix of HAIM’s song, which was included in the expanded edition of their album Women in Music Pt. III.

https://warm1069.com/new-music-friday-pentatonix-goo-goo-dolls-the-weeknd-and-ed-sheeran/ | Pentatonix teamed with Diane Warren and Jon Batiste for “Sweet.” Kevin Olusola of Pentatonix said in a statement, “We were so honored to collaborate with such musical titans… hey’ve brought the world so much love and joy in their music. We hope the people feel like dancin’ and prancin’ when they listen to ‘Sweet’!”
Goo Goo Dolls dropped “You Are The Answer,” the second single to be released off their Chaos In Bloom album. The ballad highlights the love one has for their significant other in times of hardship and is reminiscent of a choir song with its soulful elements. The song follows their previously released “Yeah, I Like You.” Chaos In Bloom arrives August 12.
The Weeknd released a remix of “How Do I Make You Love Me” with Sebastian Ingrosso and Salvatore Gannaci. The remix takes the song in a funk-inspired direction. If you’re a fan of the original version, The Weeknd dropped the official music video, which is 2D animated. Just a word of warning, this visual goes heavy with horror themes.
Ed Sheeran teamed with Russ for the new song “Are You Entertained” and also starred in its music video. The song is about reaching for the top and realizing what’s important to them. For Ed, he realized he needs to put his family — and more importantly, himself — first in his quest to turn his dreams into a reality.

https://warm1069.com/priyanka-chopra-celebrates-six-month-birthday-of-her-and-nick-jonas-child/ | Malti is six months old, and no one is more excited than her proud parents, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas.
The Quantico actress split the honor of her 40th birthday with her bundle of joy in a new Instagram post, where Malti is sporting a onesie that declares “6 months.”
“Just a girl and her birthday squad!” Priyanka wrote. “So grateful and thankful to be surrounded by so much love and to be able to spend time with my nearest and dearest. (Even though a lot of them flew in from very far).”
She continued, “The most incredible celebrations, planned and executed to perfection by my [love] @nickjonas. Words are not enough to thank you for the most memorable birthday… you really know how to love baby. I’m a lucky girl.”
“I’m so touched by all the birthday love I’ve received this year,” the actress added. “The lovely DMs, surprises, calls, texts, and big hugs made the day even brighter and made me feel truly special. Thank you everyone who reached out, it means the world. Here’s to the beginning of the rest of my life.”
While Priyanka shared a handful of photos from her own birthday celebrations in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, the standout snap is second in the carousel of photos, which shows Malti celebrating her six-month birthday.
Malti is wearing a little pink tutu and has a white headband with a bow on it as she is held in her mother’s arms. Meanwhile, Nick is holding up a small birthday cake along with the note, “Happy 6 months B-day MM.”
As previously reported, Nick and Priyanka spoke openly about Malti spending “100 plus days in the NICU” shortly after birth but didn’t explain what caused her health scare.

https://warm1069.com/music-notes-taylor-swift-train-meghan-trainor-michael-buble-and-katy-perry/ | If someone read the lyrics of Taylor Swift‘s “You Need to Calm Down,” you’d recognize the song, right? Well, it was a triple-stumper on Jeopardy! when host Ken Jennings did that for a $400 clue, and not one contestant got it. In fact, no one even tried to guess! Fans are sharing the now-viral clip on Twitter.
Train frontman Pat Monahan celebrated his 15th wedding anniversary to wife Amber Peterson. “Today is the best day of my year every year. [It’s] my wedding anniversary and my wife @astarr444 has made my life incredible. The past 15 years of being married to you have made me a better everything. Thank you, love! I can’t wait to be home with you,” he wrote on Instagram. Pat is currently on the road with Jewel and Blues Traveler.
Meghan Trainor aired some dirty laundry on her TikTok, including the rudest celebrity she met or the celeb she has the most tea on — the latter is Harry Styles if you must know. She answered the questions by briefly flashing her phone screen, which had a photo of the celeb she was referring to. Good luck pausing the video at the right moment and guessing who everyone is!
Michael Bublé is aware that he’s semi-synonymous with suits. Joking that “clothes maketh the Man,” he modeled various suits of all different colors in a new TikTok video. “I’m a model, you know what i mean and i do my little turn on the catwalk,” he captioned. He added his suits are “like a Batsuit” because “When I put ‘em on I become Michael Bublé. Otherwise I’m just Mikey B.”
Katy Perry showed off how she likes to eat her strawberries — skewered with mozzarella, basil leaves and balsamic vinaigrette. She captioned her tutorial, “A dreamy summertime food pairing for all your champignon dreams.”

https://warm1069.com/adeles-postponed-las-vegas-residency-to-kick-off-in-november/ | Adele’s Las Vegas residency is officially back on!
Weekends with Adele has been rescheduled with dates set to kick off on November 18 of this year at Caesars Palace and run through March 25, 2023. All 24 previously scheduled performances have been rescheduled, and eight new shows have been added.

Weekends with Adele was originally supposed to kick off in January, but a day before the show’s debut, Adele tearfully took to Instagram and announced she would be postponing the show due to setbacks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

https://warm1069.com/ahead-of-higher-tour-michael-buble-recalls-last-years-tour-it-wasnt-fun-but-im-really-proud-we-did-it/ | On August 8, Michael Bublé starts the North American leg of his tour in support of his latest album Higher. It’ll likely be a lot less stressful than the brief tour he did last fall when the risk of COVID-19 infection was still quite high. Why did he take the risk? Well, mostly, to help out his band and crew.
“These people in my band and my crew have been my family for 20 years and they…couldn’t pay their mortgages. They hadn’t worked in a long time,” Michael tells ABC Audio, referring to the impact that the pandemic had on the live music industry.
“The goal wasn’t for me to go out and have some big fancy tour as much as it was for me to connect with the people again, [and] for me to give these guys a chance of making a living and paying their bills,” he explains. “And I got that done.”
“Getting it done” meant a lot of pushback from fans who, Michael says, “weren’t very happy” about the COVID-19 protocols he instituted, including proof of vaccination or a negative test 48 hours before the show.
Looking back, he says of the “thousands” of complaints he received, “There was a group of the audience that…whatever I did wasn’t good enough. [But] I think that…has a lot more to do with them than it had to do with me.”
And Michael’s tour plan worked. He boasts, “We were the only tour and the biggest tour in America that went through 32 shows, and we never had one positive case.”
He laughs, “It wasn’t a fun tour! It wasn’t much of a party tour — it was us staying in our rooms. But we did it. And I’m really proud that we did it.”

https://warm1069.com/get-ready-to-see-more-harry-styles-in-the-mcu/ | Harry Styles is coming back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe! He made his first appearance in The Eternals as Eros — the brother of Thanos — in a post-credits scene.
MTV News caught up with Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige and asked if the next phase of the MCU involves the “As It Was” singer.
“Yes,” confirmed Feige, “The adventures of Eros and Pip is something that is very exciting for us!” Pip also appeared in the Eternals‘ post-credits scene with Harry. He is a troll, voiced by Patton Oswalt.
Feige teased the MCU will cover all angles in its next phases, from the multiverse with Dr. Strange to the streets with Daredevil and Spider-Man. So, where does this leave Eros?
“Cosmic,” Feige teased, adding, “That is where our friends Eros and Pip live.” He didn’t delve into further detail.
In the comics, Eros has superhuman strength, regeneration and the ability to control other people’s emotions. He later adopts the name Starfox and joins the Avengers.
With the latter part in mind, two Avengers movies are slated to hit theaters in 2025. Marvel is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News.
In other Harry news, he collected his sixth U.K. albums chart crown thanks to his album Harry’s House, says Billboard. With his latest victory, the Don’t Worry Darling star has officially spent more weeks at the top than his former band, One Direction.

https://warm1069.com/olivia-rodrigos-character-will-have-a-meaningful-sendoff-in-high-school-musical-the-musical-the-series/ | Olivia Rodrigo‘s journey on High School Musical: The Musical: The Series comes to an end in the new season, creator Tim Federle confirms.
Olivia plays Nini in the beloved Disney+ series. While she started off as a main character in the first season, her meteoric rise to fame has called for Federle to rewrite what happens to her character.
Speaking to ABC Audio, Federle explained what it was like balancing Olivia’s commitment to the show while making sure she can still pursue her dreams and busy new schedule.
“It was a challenge, but a really fun one,” he revealed. “Ultimately, I would never want this series to stand in the way of anyone’s dream!”
Federle couldn’t be prouder of Olivia and raved, “She’s had this once-in-a-lifetime [and] once in a generation album release.” With the success of Olivia’s debut album, SOUR, which launched a sold-out world tour, Federle had to go back to the drawing board and decide what to do with Nini.
“It was about working closely with Olivia to say, ‘Let’s give you a meaningful sendoff’ and also pay tribute to our fans who have kind of now grown up with Nini,” Federle explained.
While Olivia does say goodbye this season, Federle knows the show and its cast will be okay.
“I so believe in the talent of this entire cast and these new characters, played by Saylor Bell and Adrian Lyles. I have every confidence that the audience will stick with us,” he declared. “I think while Olivia’s success is meteoric, I think this entire cast is so loveable and talented.”
High School Musical: The Musical: The Series‘ third season premieres Wednesday, July 27 on Disney+.
Disney is the parent company of ABC News.

https://warm1069.com/selena-gomez-celebrates-turning-30-with-bestie-taylor-swift/ | Selena Gomez rang in the big 3-0 with best friend Taylor Swift by her side.
“30, nerdy and worthy,” she captioned a sweet Instagram post on Saturday, which showed the two sitting side-by-side at a dinner table. In one photo, the Rare Beauty mogul has an arm wrapped around Taylor, who is holding up three fingers and has a shocked expression on her face.
In the second photo, which appears to be a selfie, Taylor looks somewhat proud of herself and flashes a thumbs up as Selena giggles while reading her birthday card.
Selena is longtime friends with the “Shake It Off” singer. Their friendship goes all the way back to 2005 when they were both dating members of the Jonas Brothers. Selena was dating Nick Jonas, while Taylor was seeing Joe Jonas.
“We clicked instantly and, man, that was my girl,” Selena told The Wall Street Journal in 2020. “There’s so much of my friendship with Taylor that people don’t know about because we don’t necessarily feel the need to post about everything we do.”
She added, “She has showed up for me in ways that I would have never expected… It’s been proven year after year and in every moment of my life that she is one of my best friends in the world.”
As for Taylor, she said in the same interview, “I knew from when I met her I would always have her back. In my life, I have the ability to forgive people who have hurt me. But I don’t know if I can forgive someone who hurts her.”

https://warm1069.com/you-cant-hit-her-poker-face-fans-think-lady-gaga-uses-an-invisible-force-field-for-her-tour/ | Does Lady Gaga perform behind an invisible force field? A new video has fans wondering just that.
The singer is on her Chromatica Ball tour, and it appears some fans are getting rowdy during her shows. A video taken at one of her concerts is now going viral, and it shows someone chucking a large object, which ricochets off something before reaching the stage.
“CONFIRMED: Gaga has an invisible force field that protects her from dangerous objects as shown in the video,” the fan, named Andrin, declared in the viral tweet.
This has caused some pretty wild theories to pop up, with some joking that Lady Gaga has powers that rival that of Dr. Strange. Others have pointed out Gaga’s “Little Monsters” are notorious for throwing things onstage — and not all of the items are soft, lightweight gifts.
A fan shared a clip of Gaga performing in 2014, and at the end, she is buffeted by objects being thrown from the crowd. This has led to several people commending the Grammy winner for setting up the barrier, with some saying she had to do it for her own safety and to maintain the integrity of the show.
Gaga has not yet spoken out about what is protecting her from flying objects.

https://warm1069.com/is-elton-john-helping-britney-spears-with-her-comeback/ | We may finally know why Britney Spears shared a video of herself singing and why she deleted a post of her meeting Rocketman actor Taron Egerton — and it has everything to do with Sir Elton John.
Page Six claims Britney jumped into the studio with the British artist to revive her singing career, which was put on ice as she fought to free herself from her conservatorship. According to the outlet, the two recorded a special duet of “Tiny Dancer.”
A source tells Page Six that the alternative take of the 1971 hit will come out next month via Universal Music.
“This was Elton’s idea, and Britney is a huge fan. They have recorded a remix of ‘Tiny Dancer’ as a full duet — and it is incredible,” the source spilled, who claims to be a music industry insider. They continued, “Britney was in the studio in Beverly Hills last week with Elton for the super-secret recording session overseen by uber-producer Andrew Watt.”
The source continued, “They’ve already played it for people at their record label, and everybody is freaking out. It is so good. They are saying this is going to be the song of the summer.”
“Britney is officially back. She’s back to work, and she’s super excited,” the insider adds.
Britney and Elton are longtime friends, so this rumor holds some water. Over the weekend, Britney posted and quickly deleted a post about her meeting Egerton, who played Elton in the Rocketman biopic.
In addition, Britney shared a video earlier this month of her singing an alternative take of her breakout hit “…Baby One More Time.” She teased in the caption, “I haven’t shared my voice in an extremely long time … maybe too long,” and noted she wants to release a “different version” of the smash hit single.

https://warm1069.com/is-my-pet-too-hot/ | HOW DO I KNOW IF MY PET IS TOO HOT?
It is quite easy to tell when your dog is overheated. Dr. Simon recommends watching out for ‘panting, glazed eyes, red gums and a reluctance to run.’
Jackson says that ‘Signs of heat stroke in dogs include bright red gums, confusion, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive panting, elevated heart rate and temperature (103 degrees F)’ noting that heatstroke in smaller animals is also very serious and needs to be looked out for ‘Heat stroke in hamsters is very serious as they are very sensitive to heat.’
Cats can be trickier. They have evolved not to show pain or illness, so they may seem normal when they’re actually not feeling well. The best way to tell if your cat is too hot is to check if they’re dehydrated. To check a cat for dehydration:
- Check their nose and gums. Both should be moist.
- Do the skin pinch test: take a small area of skin on your cat’s neck and gently pinch it. In a well-hydrated cat, the skin should snap back into place immediately. If this doesn’t happen, your cat needs more water and to be kept in a cooler space.

https://warm1069.com/josh-groban-explains-why-tour-may-inform-his-next-album-youre-feeling-the-inspiration-in-real-time/ | After Josh Groban‘s Harmony tour wraps August 2 at LA’s Greek Theatre, he’ll be able to turn his attention to his next album, which is already well underway. He says that having this tour under his belt will give him a better idea of which direction he wants to go in.
“Tour is a great time to think about the next album because you’re out there, you’re in front of the audience, you’re feeling the energy of the connection with your fans and what they want and what you want,” he told ABC Audio shortly before the Harmony tour began.
He added, “It’s a really good time to get inspired about what’s next, because you’re in real time. You’re feeling the inspiration in real time with everybody around you and your band.”
Josh has some raw material to apply that inspiration to: He’s started working on a new album at the same time as his 2020 release, Harmony. “I’d been, writing and [recording] just endless, endless demos,” he told ABC Audio.
“I have probably 25 very good demos that are of originals…covers, lots of different things. We’re not starting from scratch right now,” he adds. “There’s a lot of music that’s been recorded and now it’s just a matter of kind of, do we juke left or right?”
No word on when Josh plans to release the new album. He currently has a song out with his friend, actress Rita Wilson: A duet version of Fleetwood Mac‘s “Songbird.”

https://warm1069.com/lewis-capaldi-admits-he-hasnt-finished-his-next-album-i-am-horribly-lazy/ | It’s been three years since Lewis Capaldi released his debut studio album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent. So, what’s the status of his sophomore album? He has some bad news…
BBC reports Lewis hasn’t completed his follow-up album because he hasn’t been inspired. He reportedly told the crowds at Latitude Festival that he hasn’t created a new song since “Before You Go” was released in November 2019.
“I just want to say now, I have no new music to play you,” the Grammy nominee admitted. “So we’re just going to play you all of the old stuff.” He also joked that his fans better “enjoy” his songs because, as he admitted, “It’s all we’ve got.”
Although the crowd cheered for him regardless, Lewis openly explained why he didn’t have anything new to share. “I rescheduled a lot of shows last year because I was like, ‘Guys, I need to finish my new album,'” he continued. “And I was supposed to do it, but I am horribly lazy.”
The Scottish singer has been out of the public eye while he reportedly worked on his new album and was touched that droves of fans showed up to hear him perform.
“Thanks for coming back in this many numbers,” he told the large crowd. “I always get the feeling people have forgotten us.”
Lewis jokingly revealed he did work on something over the years and stuck out his gut, calling it his “lockdown belly.”
“The baby’s due in March,” he quipped. “We’re all very excited.”
It is unknown when Lewis’ new album will see the light of day, but he assured fans they won’t have to wait too much longer, adding he’ll be back “very soon.”

Michael Bublé wants you to meet his bodyguard, Jose. He shared a TikTok of the two goofing off on the Higher tour, such as Jose carrying Michael like a bride to a train and protectively watching him sign autographs. “My friend, security, my sweet cheese. jose jose jose jose, olé olé,” he wrote.
Rod Stewart powered through a flash thunderstorm at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, which soaked the audience. He performed “Hot Legs” and kicked soccer balls to the crowd during his Friday night concert.

https://warm1069.com/harry-styles-makes-the-shortlist-for-2022-mercury-prize/ | Harry Styles could be adding yet another impressive award to his trophy case — a Mercury Prize.
Billboard reports the “As It Was” singer has made this year’s shortlist of potential prize recipients thanks to his number one album, Harry’s House. The honor is meant to crown the best album from the U.K. and Ireland and is given based on an album’s musical merit in addition to how it was commercially received.
Harry landed among the 12 shortlisted nominees for this year’s award — his competition includes Little Simz‘s Sometimes I Might Be Introvert and Sam Fender‘s Seventeen Going Under.
Last year, Arlo Parks took home the honor for his debut album, Collapsed in Sunbeams.
Find out if Harry is crowned the next winner on September 8, when the ceremony takes place in London’s Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith.
Awards insiders are betting this won’t be the only nomination Harry’s House will receive. The studio work is expected to earn recognition at both the Grammy Awards and the Brit Awards.

https://warm1069.com/john-mayer-opens-up-about-his-hollywood-ambitions-i-dont-really-have-a-brain-for-acting/ | John Mayer is known mostly for his music, but now that he’s starring in the upcoming mystery-comedy Vengeance, is he planning on shifting gears to take over Hollywood?
“I like being in my friends’ movies,” John told Entertainment Tonight. “I don’t really have a brain for acting. I like when my friends call me and say, ‘You wanna do stuff?'”
Continued the seven-time Grammy winner, “I’m my own agent for film.” Acting as his own acting representative is pretty easy, too. He laid out what the job entails, saying, “It happens just when friends go ‘Hey I have an idea for you,’ — I go ‘yeah, I’ll do it.'” Simple as that!”
John added he enjoys working with his friends and highlighted his time with The Office’s B.J. Novak — who wrote, directed and stars in Vengeance. The movie is about a New York-based journalist/podcaster who hooks up with a girl from Texas. She winds up dead, so he travels to the Lone Star state to investigate.
The “New Light” singer said, “B.J. is very thoughtful on where he wants it to go” with the upcoming project and added that courtesy was extended to his character, also named John, who is “a parody” version of a rockstar. John also teased a particular scene he has with Novak.
He described it as “a great moment between two guys that are smart but dumb” and added, “The way we are talking it’s like we are only ever listening to ourselves talk.”
Vengeance hits theaters this Friday, July 29.

The Grammy winner announced Tuesday on Instagram, “Announcing Rise For The River, three great-big-very-small-shows in Livingston, MT to support a county greatly impacted by flooding and the resulting closure of the Yellowstone Park entrance that the local economy relies on.”
The three-part concert series kicks off Monday, August 8 and will run the following two Sundays, ending on August 21 at Pine Creek Lodge in Livingston, Montana.
The three-day event will feature guest acts Bob Weir, John’s Dead & Company bandmate, as well as comedian Dave Chappelle. Weir will helm the concert set for Monday, August 8, while Chappelle takes over the stage on Sunday, August 14.
“I’m blown away by the generosity of my friends @bobweir and @davechappelle and can’t wait to celebrate this awesome community with those who share my love for it,” John continued.
Ticket sales benefit the SW MT Flood Relief Fund, which will assist in cleanup and rebuilding efforts currently underway in the affected areas. Tickets were priced starting at $150, and John’s fans snapped them up — There’s currently a waitlist that you can join on his official website.
In addition, two tickets are up for bid on Charity Auctions Today. Within an hour, the price surged past $6,000 for the pair.
“Don’t be mad if the tickets sell out,” the Vengeance star acknowledged, adding those who want to help Montana can do so by texting “Flood22” to 41444.
John has lived in Park County, Montana for over a decade and has spoken out about the catastrophic flooding, begging people to visit Yellowstone to help jumpstart the local economy

https://warm1069.com/the-weeknd-will-launch-his-very-own-haunted-house-at-universal-studios/ | Who knew The Weeknd and Halloween would make such a perfect pair?
Entertainment Weekly confirms the “Blinding Lights” singer will bring the thrills and chills to his very own haunted house at Universal Studios. The attraction, which is part of Halloween Horror Nights, pays homage to The Weeknd’s After Hours album.
The Weeknd: After Hours Nightmare will be part of Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort, which means fans from either coast can immerse themselves into the Grammy winner’s twisted imagination.
“I always wanted my own Halloween Horror Nights haunted house, as Halloween has always been significant to my music, so this is a total dream come to life,” he said in a statement. “I feel like my music videos have served as a launching pad for a collaboration like this, and I cannot wait for people to experience this madness!”
This single-house experience transports thrill seekers into the After Hours fantasy world and is soundtracked to the songs “After Hours,” “In Your Eyes,” “Heartless,” “Blinding Lights,” “Save Your Tears” and “Too Late.”
Halloween Horror Nights executive producer John Murdy teased the first part of the experience, called the “Nightmare Extraction,” which includes an articulated, life-like version of The Weeknd strapped to a machine reminiscent of A Clockwork Orange.
Something goes wrong with the machine meant to suck out The Weeknd’s nightmares, leaving the audience to “face all of those things and dark places he went to in creating the album,” says Murdy.
Thrill seekers will also encounter “a horrific toad creature unlike anything you’ve ever seen before,” he added. There will also be moments that will “make you think you’re getting hit in the face with blood.”
The attraction opens September 2 in Orlando and September 8 in Hollywood.

https://warm1069.com/michael-buble-stops-concert-after-audience-members-scream-for-help/ | Michael Bublé immediately hit the brakes on his U.K. concert when members of the audience began screaming for help.
The Mirror reports the “Sway” singer had been performing at Powderham Castle in Exeter, U.K. when a portion of the crowd began shouting for paramedics. Michael overheard their cries and paused the show to ask what was going on.
The Grammy winner then saw that a concertgoer was in major distress and called for urgent medical care.
One audience member, named Carla Snell, explained what happened. “There were people in the back of the crowd and Michael said, ‘What’s going on why is all these people shouting?'” she recalled. “And then he asked for the paramedics to go and he talked to the crowd about not being scared.”
“People in the audience were shouting and trying to get his attention as paramedics were required,” she continued, adding the Canadian crooner “sort of made a joke of it at the end.”
It is unknown why the audience member needed urgent medical care; Their condition is currently unknown.
More artists have been hyper-aware of their audience’s general well-being after 10 people were killed at last year’s Astroworld Festival. People rushed the stage during rapper Travis Scott‘s set and trampled over countless individuals, resulting in various injuries and deaths.
Michael’s U.K. trek hasn’t been going smoothly, as his stop in Hatfield the night before drew ire from fans who were stuck at the venue due to snarled traffic. Audience members say the venue — the Hatfield House in Hertfordsh — didn’t hire enough traffic marshals to ensure everyone’s safety.
So, chaos erupted after the 25,000 or so fans who saw the show all exited at once and created some nightmarish traffic conditions.

He broke the sad news on Instagram Wednesday via a lengthy statement. “As you guys know, I had to postpone the past few weeks of shows since I wasn’t totally prepared for the toll that being back on the road would take on me,” the Grammy nominee explained.
He continued, “I started this tour excited to finally get back to playing live after a long break due to the pandemic, but the reality is I was not ready for how difficult touring would be after this time away.”
“After speaking more with my team and working with an incredible group of health professionals, it has become more clear I need to take the time I’ve never taken personally, to ground myself and come back stronger,” Shawn wrote. “I unfortunately have to cancel the rest of the tour dates in North America and the UK / Europe.”
The singer added, “We were hopeful that I might be able to pick up with the rest of the dates after some much needed time off, but at this time I have to put my health as my first priority.”
Shawn said he will also be using this time to focus on “making new music.” The “Stitches” singer apologized to his fans for pulling the plug on his Wonder Tour, adding, “I know you all have been waiting do long to see these shows, and it breaks my heart to tell you this but I promise I will be back as soon as I’ve taken the right time to heal.”
Earlier this month, the Canadian superstar announced he was postponing his tour for three weeks and said in a since-deleted post he “hit a breaking point.”

https://warm1069.com/camila-cabellos-hilarious-new-music-video-parodies-love-island/ | Even Camila Cabello can’t resist the overdramatic and steamy competition series Love Island — so she parodied it in a new music video.
She jumped on a music collab with Stromae for the song “Mon amour,” which sees Camila trading Spanish for some sultry French lyrics.
The music video starts by introducing Camila as a competitor on their parody reality show — titled La Villa Mon Amour — before she manufactures some drama to rile up the female contestants. As the women break into tears, throw people’s suitcases into the pool and erupt into arguments, Camila looks bored and shrugs off everything going on in the house.
Eventually, contestants start vanishing in front of everyone’s eyes until one handsome man is left standing in the empty, beachside house.
Camila celebrated her new song on Instagram and wrote, “one of my dream collabs is checked off the list ! got to write a little verse for Mon amour.”
She said in another post she has been a fan of the Belgian singer “for years” and explained, “We met at met gala and I texted him about this being my fave song then went into the studio and wrote a quick lil verse about my intentions for a hot girl summer.”
“Oh and i speak a lil French from Duolingo (Im obsessed w languages) and wanted to sing in French for this which I do,” she added.

https://warm1069.com/ed-sheeran-becomes-the-first-artist-to-have-over-100-million-followers-on-spotify/ | Ed Sheeran is currently winning the race for the most popular artist on Spotify. The “Bad Habits” singer is now the first artist to hit 100 million followers on the platform.
Ed celebrated the fun news on Twitter, where he shared a hilarious video of him palling around his recent concert while wearing a white tee shirt that reads in all capital letters, “Ask me about my 100 million Spotify followers.”
The Grammy winner is undoubtedly proud of his latest milestone and narrates in the hilarious video, “So I just hit 100 million followers on Spotify and Spotify has sent me this tee shirt. So I’m going to walk around the stadium and ask people to ask me about my 100 million followers because they’re all going to be so excited for me!”
Ed films himself as he runs around backstage, greeting various people in hopes of being asked about his Spotify win. Despite all the chest puffing and physical gesturing, no one plays along and that causes the redhead to stalk away in defeat.
Eventually, Ed approaches singer Maisie Peters, who does seem genuinely interested in his latest achievement. She gives him a round of applause and exclaims, “Aw, well done, Ed Sheeran! Woo!” The two then share a hug.
The video ends with another person asking Ed about his tee shirt, to which the “Shivers” singer quips, “You’re not meant to ask!”
“Absolutely mental,” the video caption reads. “What an achievement Ed. Congrats!”
Ed is currently on his Mathematics Tour in support of his latest album, = (Equals). He is set to take over Paris on Friday.

https://warm1069.com/i-see-with-my-nose/ | Dogs are renowned for their ability to identify and track objects by scent…
Now it’s been revealed they enhance this talent with special brain structures that link it to how they see.
A study published this month in the Journal of Neuroscience revealed that vision and the sense of smell are connected in the brains of dogs, something not yet found in any other species.
“The most interesting thing about this research are the connections from the nose up to the occipital lobe, which houses the visual cortex,” said veterinary neurologist Philippa Johnson, an associate professor at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and senior author of the study.
The discovery suggests smell and vision in dogs are integrated in some way, although it’s not known how dogs experience the two senses functioning together.
“Scent contributes to the visual cortex in dogs, but a dog’s experience is hard for us to know,” Johnson said. “But I think they can use scent to work out where things are.”
She explained that when humans walk into a room, they primarily use their sense of vision to establish who is there or how furniture is positioned. But dogs seem to integrate scent into their interpretation of their environment and how they are orientated in it, she said.
That’s borne out by the behavior of dogs that have lost their vision but don’t seem greatly affected by the fact that they have gone blind.
The sense of smell in dogs is known to be much more sensitive than in humans: the olfactory bulb in a dog’s brain is about 30 times larger than in a human brain. Dogs have up to a billion smell receptors in their noses, compared to just 5 million smell receptors in people, Johnson said.
But the discovery suggests the sense of smell is much more vital to dogs than previously thought.

The two belted out their song “Chinatown,” with Bruce backing up on guitar. He blew the audience a kiss before exiting the stage.
Lady Gaga dropped limited-edition eyewear to benefit her Born This Way Foundation, reports Rolling Stone. She teamed up with Pair Eyewear for some exclusive snap-on frames, which she says “celebrate differences, embrace your individuality.” Twenty percent of proceeds will benefit her mental health outreach.
Joe Jonas wanted to see if the grass was really greener on the other side — and by that we mean testing out international sweets. In an Instagram video, he tried out various treats, like a cinnamon roll-flavored Oreo and Dr. Pepper cotton candy, the two things he loved the most out of the entire selection.
Mariah Carey traded out her luxurious gowns for a glittering sweatsuit with a price tag that’ll make your eyes pop. The gray, sparkling sweatsuit from Prada costs nearly $7,000! The cashmere pants are valued at $3,550, while the matching hoodie is $3,300. She captioned the post, “Out East for the week, soaking it all in.”
Andy Grammer‘s eldest daughter, Louisiana, is officially in preschool and her dad may have bought her a backpack a wee bit too big. Taking to his Instagram Stories to show off Louisiana enjoying her “2nd day of pre school,” the toddler turns to show off a massive blue backpack that’s more than half her size! She assured her dad she can carry it — but Andy didn’t seem too convinced because Louisiana wasn’t very steady on her feet.

https://warm1069.com/a-las-vegas-residency-maroon-5-would-absolutely-love-to-do-it-says-guitarist/ | These days, it seems like all the big pop acts have had or currently have their own Las Vegas residencies, from Silk Sonic and Lady Gaga to Usher and Katy Perry. Maroon 5 has performed in Vegas many times, so would they be interested in a residency that keeps them in Sin City for an extended period? Well, guitarist James Valentine says he’s all in on that idea.
“I would love to do a residency. We’ve talked about it for a long time and yeah, we’ll see,” he teases. “Hopefully that’s something that can happen in the near future…we love Vegas. Y’know, we’ve played New Year’s Eve in Vegas for the last 15 years. So we would absolutely love to do something like that.”
James says a residency would be great for Maroon 5 because it “opens up possibilities for production…you can you can get a little bit more creative on on different elements that you can bring to the show.” He laughs, “We’ve certainly seen that with Silk Sonic and Katy Perry with her giant toilet! I don’t know what we can bring, but hopefully something that’s on that level!”
One possibility, James says, is some sort of aerial effect — though he makes it clear that it won’t be singer Adam Levine who’s dangling from the rafters.
“Adam has been lobbying to get me to fly above the crowd since day one,” he says, laughing. “So maybe that’s finally going to happen in Vegas. I don’t know how I got to be the one to get volunteered for it. He doesn’t want to do it, but he would love to see me do it!”

https://warm1069.com/amy-grant-rushed-to-hospital-following-bike-accident-in-nashville/ | Amy Grant had to be hospitalized Wednesday after the “Baby, Baby” singer crashed her bicycle while cycling with a friend in Nashville.
People reports the 61-year-old Grant is in stable condition following the accident and has been treated for surface wounds like cuts and abrasions. Grant, thankfully, was wearing a helmet at the time of the incident.
The singer is recovering at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Tennessee, where she is expected to remain Thursday night for observation.
No further details have been provided at this time.
This incident took place two years after Grant underwent open heart surgery to correct a rare defect she unknowingly had since birth. The Grammy winner told fans in February 2020 that she had partial anomalous pulmonary venous return, a congenital heart defect.

https://warm1069.com/bryan-adams-unveils-new-album-classic-pt-ii-credits-taylor-swift-for-inspiring-him-to-re-record-his-old-hits/ | It’s been almost four months since Bryan Adams released Classic, an album stuffed with re-recordings of his greatest hits from the ’80s and ’90s — and part two is already on its way.
“Bryan is happy to announce ‘Classic Pt. II’ featuring 7 newly re-recorded favorites, is out digitally on Friday! Pre-save now!” he tweeted out on Thursday, sharing a link so fans can make sure the album arrives in their playlists at midnight.
Why is the “Summer of 69” artist making these albums? Similar to Taylor Swift‘s masters saga with her former label — Bryan is also fighting to reclaim the rights to his music.
He previously told Stereogum that Taylor inspired him to re-record his old hits. Bryan revealed his former label, Universal Music Group, declined to hand over the rights to his catalog.
“She and I have been in a similar situation lately with our master recordings. My record company wasn’t interested in negotiating the return of my early masters, so I’ve done what she has done to re-record my early songs again,” he explained, adding his Classic albums are coming out “thanks to Taylor.”
Taylor invited the Grammy winner to sing with her during her Reputation Tour in 2019, and they sang “Summer of 69” together. Bryan hinted she made it even easier for him to think he could re-record his decades-old hits.
“I loved singing with Taylor,” he recalled, “in fact I believe it’s the best version of the song since the original recording.”
Classics Pt. II arrives midnight on Friday.

https://warm1069.com/madonna-said-she-made-her-own-biopic-to-stop-misogynistic-men-from-making-one-first/ | Madonna knows biopics are hot right now, and that’s precisely why she got the jump on making one about her life.
Speaking with Variety, the Grammy winner said making a biopic was about self-preservation and integrity.
“I’ve had an extraordinary life, I must make an extraordinary film. It was also a preemptive strike because a lot of people were trying to make movies about me,” said Madonna. “Mostly misogynistic men.”
The hitmaker continued, “So I put my foot in the door and said, ‘No one’s going to tell my story, but me.'”
That mentality of ensuring her life story stays firmly hers also extends to her music. While heavy-hitting musicians such as Justin Timberlake and Bruce Springsteen have sold their catalogs for hefty sums, Madonna vowed to never go that route.
“They’re my songs. Ownership is everything isn’t it?” she quipped.
As for when fans will be able to see her forthcoming biopic, Madonna says she’s still tinkering on the script. “I have a very long script that is really hard for me to make shorter,” she confessed. “I’ve been whittling away at it, but it’s like hacking off my limbs.”
Madonna had co-written the biopic with Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody, who spoke with ABC Audio about the experience.
“I don’t think I’ve ever met anybody with a work ethic like that before. Madonna is just on another level,” the Juno writer said. “If you had told me when I was in the fifth grade that someday I would get to hang out with Madonna….and sit at her knee as she shared the stories of her life? I would never have believed you.”
Cody added, “I can’t really say that much about [the movie] but I can say that I’m profoundly grateful for the experience.”

The “good 4 u” hitmaker shared a photo of her posing with Sofia Wylie, Joshua Bassett and Matt Cornett, the rumored ex-boyfriend who supposedly inspired her SOUR album.
She captioned the post, “love all these people so so so much. knowing and working with them has been one of the greatest joys of my life,” adding “wildcats forever” and a red heart emoji.
Another snap shows Olivia enjoying a cast photo with everyone who appeared in the third season, including guest stars Jason Earles, JoJo Siwa and Corbin Bleu.
The “drivers license” singer continued the celebration, later sharing HSM’s Instagram post on her Stories alongside three red heart emojis. The post, which read, “We all remember THAT summer!” contained more photos of the cast, including a sweet snap of Olivia wrapping an arm around an excited JoJo Siwa.
Olivia has starred in the show since 2019 as the aspiring singer Nini. Creator Tim Federle previously told ABC Audio that she will have a “meaningful sendoff” in the new season so she can pursue her singing career full-time.
High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is streaming its third season on Disney+.

https://warm1069.com/shakira-rejects-plea-deal-opts-to-go-to-trial-over-alleged-tax-fraud-in-spain/ | Shakira has opted to be tried by Spanish prosecutors over allegations of tax fraud in Spain, her public relations team said Wednesday.
The 45-year-old Colombian singer rejected a plea deal offered by the Spanish authorities and wants to prove her innocence in court, according to her lawyers.
Shakira “trusts her innocence and chooses to leave the issue in the hands of the law,” the PR firm Llorente y Cuenca said in a statement obtained by ABC News.
In 2018, Spanish prosecutors charged the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer with failing to pay €14.5 million — the equivalent of $14,797,250 U.S. — in taxes on income she earned between 2012 and 2014.
If found guilty she could face a fine and/or prison time. The court has not set a date for the trial.

https://warm1069.com/204903-2/ | When the family closed the doors on the U-Haul Oliver was no where to be found.
Halie Kutscher and her family moved to Morgantown, West Virginia, from Bridgeport in May 2022.
As the moving trucks were being loaded, the family’s cat, Oliver, who originally came from the Humane Society of Harrison County, accidentally got outside and started playing with the family’s dog in the front yard.
“Last time I saw Oliver, Sasha had chased him up into a tree. We were just kind of finalizing the U-Haul, getting it filled up, and then we closed it,” Kutscher said. “That was the last time I saw Oliver.”
That would be the last time the family saw Oliver for several weeks. However, the family didn’t lose hope of finding him.
After the house was sold in July, the family let the new owners know of the situation in case Oliver had shown up, and they agreed to help them.
“My husband looks over the railing. In our neighbor’s yard, there’s little steps that kind of go up, and there’s an orange cat sitting on it. He said, ‘oh my god, that looks like Oliver,’” Kutscher said. “I run in the house, run to the basement, run out the back door, down into the grass. He sees me coming, and he starts running to me. We’re running to each other like a slow-motion-movie scene, and he lets me scoop him right up.”
That means Oliver made the trek from Bridgeport to Morgantown; a span of nearly 40 miles. | true | false | y0_only | warm1069 | 20220729 |
https://warm1069.com/camila-cabello-salutes-fifth-harmony-a-day-after-its-10th-anniversary/ | Fifth Harmony turned 10 on Wednesday, but that didn’t stop Camila Cabello from saluting her old girl group a day later.
Taking to Instagram, she shared one of the first photos of her lined up with her four bandmates during their time on The X Factor. “10 years since this f***in wild ride. crazy to think when this picture was taken we barely knew each other and the journey we were about to go on would change our lives forever,” the Grammy nominee wrote in a lengthy caption.
Camila focused on the positives of her past life as a group act and said, “I wanna remember the laughs and inside jokes and the pinch me I’m dreaming moments.”
But there is one thing the “Havana” singer wishes we could all move on from: “pls let’s all forget the times when I would do my own eyeliner [thanks].”
Camila closed out the sweet post by wishing her former bandmates — Ally Brooke, Normani, Lauren Jauregui and Dinah Jane – all the “love and happiness.” She also shouted out the fans who have supported her since day one.
Camila departed Fifth Harmony back in 2016 to pursue a solo career. Two years later, the group went on an indefinite hiatus.

https://warm1069.com/did-someone-say-back-to-school/ | Some money saving hacks from other parents.
“My kids’ school has a Facebook group where parents swap gently used clothing that their kids have grown out of it.”
“Sometimes when we think we’re getting a deal, we’ll actually walk out with 10 more bags of items that we didn’t intend to buy.”
Invest in “staples,” as opposed to trendier items for your kids.
Purchasing key items in bulk can also be helpful, such as pencils, index cards and folders.
One great idea: Split bulk deals with other parents who are shopping for the same items.
One mom claims her 8-year-old has used the same lunch box since pre-school.
Don’t forget the reusable water bottle. Look for one that’s stainless steel, chip-proof, dishwasher-safe and has minimal parts to clean and maintain.

https://warm1069.com/injuries-reported-at-dua-lipas-toronto-concert-after-fireworks-set-off-in-the-crowd/ | Three people were injured at Dua Lipa‘s Wednesday night concert in Toronto when someone in the crowd set off fireworks.
People reports the incident happened at Scotiabank Arena, where someone set off illegal firecrackers in the arena. The outlet spoke with a concertgoer, who described what happened.
“It was at the end, during her final song, and confetti was already out, so we thought it was part of the finale,” they recalled. “No one was fazed by it other than the people in the pit, [but it was] hella scary.”
The incident was also recorded by a fan filming from the pit. Dua sees the fireworks going off at the end of the walkway and seemingly looks at her backup dancers in confusion.
Three people were injured by the sparks and suffered “very minor injuries.” All were treated at the venue and did not require hospitalization, police say. In addition, the fireworks did not damage the venue.
The incident is under investigation. People must cross through a metal detector to get into the venue, which explicitly prohibits fireworks. It is unclear how the fireworks made it into the building.
Dua has not commented on the matter.

She teased her new lip line “Atomic Shake & Bake” on TikTok and recorded a weird jingle to go along with it about how everyone is baking pies, but her focus is on “lips, cheeks, eyes.” The song is getting mixed reviews from fans.
Ed Sheeran revealed how the opening notes of his new song with Russ, “Are You Entertained,” were made, which is just him humming pitched up an octave. He shared the whole editing process in an Instagram video.
Seems like every celebrity is vacationing in Italy these days and Justin Timberlake is no different. People reports the “Mirrors” singer and wife Jessica Biel are hanging out in Sardinia, where they sat on a boat and splashed around in the ocean.
Andy Grammer has a new song coming out with Fitz and The Tantrums called “The Wrong Party,” obviously named after their upcoming tour. You can listen to it on August 26. Andy teased the new track on Instagram via a fictitious chat message with the “Hand Clap” singers.

https://warm1069.com/listen-to-selenas-posthumous-new-single-como-te-quiero-yo-a-ti/ | It’s been 27 years since we tragically lost Selena, but fans can finally hear her voice again in a new song, “Como Te Quiero Yo A Ti.”
The track, which dropped at midnight, serves as the first taste of Selena’s just-announced posthumous album MOONCHILD Mixes. The upcoming record is filled with songs she recorded between the ages of 13 and 16.
“Como Te Quiero Yo A Ti” was written by Ricky Vela, who was part of the Selena y Los Dinos band and was also behind her smash hit “No Me Queda Más.” While versions of this song have been online for years, this is a completely remastered track that Selena’s team says captures her “energy and charisma.”
Although it has been nearly 40 years since Selena originally recorded “Como Te Quiero Yo A Ti” and the other songs appearing on MOONCHILD Mixes, her brother, Abraham Quintanilla Jr., says new technology has allowed him to breathe new life into his sister’s music. He produced the upcoming work.
“I’m really excited about Selena’s new album,” the award-winning singer shared in a statement. “I feel it gives fans the opportunity to listen to Selena’s humble beginnings that were recorded originally on vinyl and now remixed with a fresh sound.”
Selena’s sister, Suzette, previewed the forthcoming album. “Very emotional and powerful to hear Selena as if she was just in the studio,” she said. “Legends never die … they live on and in Selena’s case … through her music.”
MOONCHILD Mixes arrives August 26 and is available now to presave.

The Grammy winner issued a statement via her Instagram Stories regarding the incident. “Last night, unauthorized fireworks went off in the crowd during my set in Toronto,” she expressed. “Creating a safe and inclusive space at my shows is always my top priority, and my team and I are just as shocked and confused by the events as you all are.”
“There is an ongoing investigation into the events being conducted, and everyone involved is working hard to find out how this incident occurred,” Dua continued.
The “Levitating” singer noted further, “Bringing this show to life for my fans has been such an amazing experience, and I am so deeply sorry for anyone who was scared, felt unsafe or whose enjoyment of the show was affected in any way.”
As previously reported, an unknown suspect lit fireworks in the concert pit toward the end of Dua’s show at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday.
A fan filming from the pit captured the incident as well as the singer’s reaction. Dua notices the fireworks going off at the end of the walkway and looks at her backup dancers in bewilderment but continues on with the number.
Three people were injured by the sparks and suffered “very minor injuries,” police told People. All victims were treated at the venue and did not require hospitalization. In addition, the fireworks did not damage the venue.
As Dua mentioned, the incident is under investigation. People must cross through a metal detector to get into the venue, which explicitly prohibits fireworks. It is unclear how the fireworks made it into the building.

The “Sway” singer shared the glorious moment to Instagram and said in the caption, “More talent in his little fingers than I have in my whole body.”
During the video, which sees Noah playing the opening notes of his dad’s song “I’ll Never Not Love You,” Michael begins fighting back tears before he starts singing along. But fans could tell by his strained voice that he was overwhelmed by a flurry of emotions.
The Grammy winner continually lets his Noah know how impressed he is — from verbal assurances to patting his son on the back. There are also moments Michael’s face lights up as his 8-year-old is playing from memory.
“Noah surprised me after I was away on tour,” he added in the video. “He worked so hard to learn this song. So proud of my guy. Dude! I’m getting choked up.”
Michael’s famous friends, including Dancing with the Stars‘ Derek Hough, Good Morning America‘s Michael Strahan and “Despacito” singer Luis Fonsi, all applauded Noah’s talent.
Noah is Michael’s eldest child, whom he shares with actress Luisana Lopilato. Noah was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2016, when he was just 3 years old. He is now in remission, but Michael says he is still healing from that dark and emotionally taxing time of their life.
Noah turns 9 next month.

https://warm1069.com/report-taylor-swift-allegedly-took-170-private-plane-flights-so-far-this-year/ | Climate activists were in an uproar over Kylie Jenner‘s 17-minute plane flight last week, but a new report says they should be directing their outrage at none other than Taylor Swift.
Rolling Stone obtained a new report from Yard, a sustainability marketing firm, that tracked celebrities’ private jets and the number of flights they took. Out of all the celebs, Taylor’s private jet was up in the sky the most this year — recording 170 flights since January.
It is not known if the “Shake It Off” singer was on every one of these flights, however.
Yard says Taylor’s plane was in the air for an overall time of 22,923 minutes — or about 16 days — this year alone, which dumped roughly 8,293.54 tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere. Yard estimates that’s more than 1,800 times the average person’s total emissions output.
So, how did Yard create its study? They utilized flight data from Celebrity Jets and ADS-B Exchange to track which celebrities were flying where. It should be noted that the Celebrity Jets Twitter said Taylor flew from Burbank, California, to Albany, New York, on Friday.
After Yard totaled up how often a certain celeb was up in the air, they calculated the amount of emissions poured out using estimates from the U.K. Department for Transportation.
The Grammy winner’s jet is on top of Yard’s list, but who else is in the top three? The plane owned by boxer Floyd Mayweather claims the title of emitting the second-largest amount of emissions for his private flights while Rapper Jay-Z‘s jet comes third.
It should be noted this data is based on these celebrities’ planes, so it is not known if these celebrities were on all the recorded flights.

https://warm1069.com/shakira-facing-8-years-in-prison-for-tax-evasion/ | Shakira faces up to eight years in prison in her ongoing criminal tax fraud case, reports Spain newspaper El Pais.
After a Spanish judge found there was “sufficient evidence” that Shakira failed to pay the country roughly $15 million in taxes, in addition to her rejecting a plea deal offered by prosecutors, the “Waka Waka” singer will stand trial.
Spanish authorities claim Shakira failed to pay taxes on the income she earned between 2012 and 2014. The Grammy winner faces six charges, including using an offshore company to conceal her earnings.
Spain considers anyone who’s lived in the country for over six months a resident.
Shakira, who purchased a house in Barcelona back in 2012, insists she hasn’t lived in Spain long enough to satisfy the country’s tax requirements, although she did declare Spain as her main residence for tax purposes in 2015. The singer also insists she paid off the tax money she owes and the additional interest.
With her case now heading to trial, prosecutors requested she be sentenced to an eight-year, two-month prison sentence — in addition to a hefty €23 million fine — should she be found guilty.
Her PR firm, Llorente y Cuenca, previously said in a statement obtained by ABC News that Shakira will be vindicated, adding she “trusts her innocence and chooses to leave the issue in the hands of the law.”
It is not known at this time when the trial will be held. Prosecutors say they will speak with Shakira, in addition to 37 witnesses connected to the case.

https://warm1069.com/two-re-recorded-songs-from-taylor-swift-will-appear-in-dc-league-of-super-pets/ | Taylor Swift gave Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson permission to use not one but two new re-recorded songs in his movie, DC League of Super Pets.
Johnson confirmed the incredible news via TikTok alongside pal Kevin Hart, who revealed Taylor’s new versions of “Bad Blood” — from her 1989 album — and “Message in a Bottle” — from Red (Taylor’s Version) — will both play in the animated film.
The hilarious video starts with Hart asking the former WWE pro what he’s listening to — which is “Taylor Swift’s ‘Bad Blood (Taylor’s Version)” — but he mishears the answer and instead demands Johnson seek medical help.
“Go to the doctor,” Hart says. “Your blood’s not as bad as you think it is. You just need a break, buddy.”
The bit continues with Johnson trying to clarify the song’s title and Hart continuing to misinterpret the answer. Eventually, the comedian hears Taylor’s name and barks, “Taylor doesn’t have bad blood. You do. Don’t bring her in this.”
That’s when a whispering Taylor is superimposed into the video and asks if it’s too late “to cut Kevin out of the movie?”
“Clearly @imkevinhart has problems (being an a*****e) and I don’t think we can solve them,” Johnson captioned the promotional video. “Pumped to have TWO of my friend @Taylor Swift’s tracks in our #DCSuperPets! In theaters TONIGHT!”
Taylor applauded the duo’s hilarious video and slid into the comment section to write, “Leave it to my friend Dwayne to support the ethically sourced versions of my songs.” She sweetly wished him luck with the film and remarked, “Ur the man.”
Johnson helped Taylor out when she filmed the music video for “The Man” by voicing the male character she played.
DC League of Super Pets is in theaters now.

Justin Bieber is parting ways with his old Hawaii vacation home, which comes with a two-story water slide, massive pool, tennis court and private natural waterfall, Elite Agent reports. Justin infamously rented the pad in 2016 for $10,000 a night, and it was the film location of Love Island. It’s on the market for $10 million — but it heads to the auction block on August 15.
Mariah Carey is also offloading a home of hers. Us Weekly reports she’s selling her summer home in the Hamptons, which overlooks the Atlantic, for $20 million. It comes with an infinity pool, private theater room, gym, two gourmet kitchens, as well as eight bedrooms six full bathrooms and one half bath.
Aqua is coming out with a reissue of their smash hit debut album Aquarium — yes, the one that contained “Barbie Girl” — for its 25th anniversary. The special album will arrive September 9, and it’s ready to preorder. A 180-gram pink vinyl will also be released, which you can preorder on Amazon.

https://warm1069.com/would-you/ | Fancy Feast cat food, pop up with human food.
Limited reservations for Gatto Bianco’s four tables are only available for two evenings.
Canned cat food brand Fancy Feast is opening an ultra-limited edition pop up restaurant that answers the questions “What if our cat food was more like Italian cuisine?” and
“What if we tried to feed humans?”
For two days in August, the Gatto Bianco — yes, White Cat — restaurant in New York City will explore both of those ideas.
The Nestlé Purina-owned company, says the “limited time, Italian style trattoria” will celebrate the release of Fancy Feast’s new Medleys line
(for cats) by serving a menu developed by Fancy Feast’s in-house chef Amanda Hassner and restaurateur Casare Casella (for humans).
The offerings at Gatto Bianco will start with a “culinary exploration for cat lovers,” and later courses will include baked sea bass; an Osso Bucco-inspired salmon; Tuscan-style spare ribs; braised beef in a wine sauce; lemon panna cotta; and almond cake “studded with chocolate.”
Food has the power to connect us to others in meaningful ways and take us to places we have never been,” Hassner said in a statement. “The same is true for our cats. The dishes at Gatto Bianco are prepared in ways that help cat owners understand how their cats experience food — from flavor, to texture, to form — in a way that only Fancy Feast can.”
If this has gotten your attention (or if you just want to make your cat smell your tuna breath, for a change) then you can attempt to make a reservation through OpenTable starting at 12:00 p.m. EST on August 4. But be prepared to be disappointed: Gatto Bianco is only offering four two-person reservations at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 11, and four two-person reservations at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, August 12. Just 16 guests — and each diner needs to be 21 or over — will be able to book a table.
f you’re willing to put some work in, though, you can recreate some of these recipes at home. Fancy Feast has also released an online cookbook featuring two of Gatto Bianco’s main courses and two of its desserts.
It’s strange that no one has done this kind of thing for dog owners yet — but I guess the pairing of a peanut butter-filled bone with a hint of worn-out tennis ball doesn’t sound quite as inspired as Tuscan-style spare ribs. | true | false | y0_only | warm1069 | 20220730 |
https://warm1069.com/melissa-etheridges-broadway-dreams-may-be-close-to-coming-true/ | Over the years, Melissa Etheridge has flirted with Broadway: In 2011, she played the role of St. Jimmy in the musical American Idiot, and in 2019, it was reported that she was writing the music for a stage version of the movie Mystic Pizza. It turns out, she’s also got plans to bring her own songs and story to the Great White Way.
Unlike, say, Jersey Boys, which tells the story of The Four Seasons through the group’s songs, or Mamma Mia!, which uses ABBA‘s songs as part of an original story, Melissa tells ABC Audio that what she has in mind was inspired by something one of her musical heroes did.
“The first thing will be more like Springsteen on Broadway,” Melissa says, referring to the hugely successful run of shows Bruce Springsteen did on and off from 2017 to 2021. “It will be me. It’ll be my songs and my story.”
So, did Melissa just go to see Bruce and figure, “I can do that?” She laughs, “Exactly. I went, ‘I can do that, and I can do it my own way.'”
She explains, “I mean, he did a very specific thing and my story is certainly different. And the way that I would unfold it is going to be different too.”
Melissa has shows scheduled through September — including her destination festival Etheridge Island over Labor Day weekend — but the Broadway plan is looming.
“There might be something at the end of this year; we’ll see,” she teases.

https://warm1069.com/andy-grammer-cries-with-fan-who-said-his-music-saved-her-life/ | Andy Grammer, who is out with a new song called “Saved My Life,” recently learned he’s the reason one of his fans is still alive.
Andy shared the sentimental story on his Instagram, which he opened with, “Just ran into a fan after a show and we cried together.”
“She told me a few years ago she had tried to take her own life and played a song of mine over and over to get through the night,” he explained.
The “Keep Your Head Up” singer continued, “It just reminded me how connected we are. I didn’t know her when I wrote that song, I was just trying to pick myself up and stay positive. I was dealing with my own s*** and trying to make something beautiful out of it.”
“We sometimes buy into the illusion that we are alone but we are all SO CONNECTED on the deepest levels,” Andy expressed. “When you fight to stay positive, when you look for the good in s***ty situations, when you show up authentically as yourself it has reverberations beyond what you could even imagine.”
The Dancing with the Stars alum closed out the sentimental post with a reminder, which is: “We are all one, a human family.”
Many of Andy’s famous friends supported his inspiring message, including This Is Us‘ Chrissy Metz, DWTS dance pro Sharna Burgess & and Pentatonix‘s Matt Sallee.
Andy is currently on tour with Fitz and the Tantrums as part of their The Wrong Party Tour, which runs through August 27 with a final stop planned in Los Angeles. For the full list of dates and all ticket info, visit either artist’s official website.

https://warm1069.com/britney-spears-faces-unique-obstacle-in-getting-her-memoir-published/ | Britney Spears‘ memoir is complete, but it might be a while before fans can get their hands on a copy. Why? Apparently, a major supply shortage is hitting the book industry.
TMZ reports that an ongoing paper shortage might delay the memoir’s ambitious January 2023 release date. Apparently, because the book industry is grappling with limited resources, Britney’s book might have to be put on the back burner until the supply chain issues sort themselves out.
What’s causing the paper shortage? The outlet says paper manufacturing companies have been hit by job walk-offs and staffing shortages during the pandemic. In addition, people in droves turned to reading physical books during the lockdown, which further impacted the paper supply.
It is unknown when Britney’s memoir will be published because the situation with the supply chain remains in flux.
As previously reported, the Grammy winner scored a $15 million publishing deal in February with Simon & Schuster, who will distribute her memoir.
While not much is known about what’s inside Britney’s book, TMZ spies promise it’ll be very juicy. The memoir is anticipated to document Britney’s first-hand account of her rise to stardom as a child, her career, family issues and of course, that controversial 13-year conservatorship.

https://warm1069.com/katy-perry-sparks-feeding-frenzy-at-the-club-by-chucking-pizza-slices-at-the-crowd/ | Of all the foods Katy Perry could have tossed to her inebriated fans at a Las Vegas bar — she chose oversized and floppy slices of pizza.
Page Six reports the Grammy winner hit up a Las Vegas nightclub and had a unique way of winning over the masses. She whipped up a feeding frenzy by tossing pizza slices into the crowd, causing people to war over the cheesy goodness.
Aside from people being drunk enough to want to snatch a slice of pizza out of the air — or off the club floor — the “Roar” hitmaker tried to keep things clean at first.
Katy began throwing pizza out on paper plates, but the slices never made it past the front row. A fan account shared a Twitter video of the magic happening, with Katy opting to hurl a slice like a frisbee deep into the crowd, prompting a mass of club goers to go to war over it.
Fans are now joking about the things they’d do to get Katy Perry to slap them in the face with greasy, gooey pizza.

https://warm1069.com/music-notes-meghan-trainor-ed-sheeran-ava-max-pentatonix-lady-gaga-lance-bass-and-shakira/ | Meghan Trainor showed off her group of “mom friends,” which includes Ashley Tisdale and Hilary Duff. The photo was taken during a recent trip that involved comfy sweats, tasty food and flowers. One snap shows a letter from their husbands, which reads, “We love you! Enjoy breakfast on us tomorrow. You deserve this!”
Ed Sheeran showed off what a great husband he is, with Daily Mail scoring snaps of the “Shivers” singer enjoying a candlelit dinner with wife Cherry Seaborn on a balcony at a swanky Parisian restaurant.
Ava Max has traded in her cherry-red hair to go “Au naturel.” She revealed her brunette makeover on Instagram.
Christmas is months away but Pentatonix polled their fans about what holiday songs of theirs are the best of all time. Voters chose their hit “Hallelujah.” The singers shared a video of them performing it in 2021 to celebrate.
Lady Gaga has completed the European leg of her Chromatica Ball tour with two sold-out shows in London. Gaga will now rest for a few days before kicking off her North American leg on August 6 in Toronto.
Lance Bass has a big announcement — he is George Jetson’s father. Fans have deduced The Jetsons patriarch was born on July 31, 2022. “Michael and I are pleased to announce the arrival of our new bundle of joy. We named him George after Prince George,” Lance joked on Instagram. “Excited for what the future brings for him.”
Shakira faces up to eight years in prison if convicted in her tax fraud trial, but her rep tells ABC News she’s confident she will be vindicated. “Unfortunately, the Spanish Tax Office, which loses one out of every two lawsuits with its taxpayers, continues to violate her rights and pursue yet another baseless case,” they said.

https://warm1069.com/taylor-swift-says-report-about-her-alleged-private-jet-usage-is-blatantly-incorrect/ | Taylor Swift is trying to shake off a report that claims she’s the celebrity whose private jet emitted the most carbon into the atmosphere so far this year.
To recap, Yard released its report on celebrity plane usage after climate activists slammed Kylie Jenner for taking a 17-minute private flight. The point of the report was to discuss how private jet emissions further contribute to climate change.
While Jenner’s personal plane didn’t make it high up on Yard’s roundup of celebrity jets that spend the most time in the air, Taylor’s came in first place. The study found her private jet had taken 170 flights since January, which emitted an estimated 8,293.54 tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere.
It wasn’t long before Taylor began trending on social media for all the wrong reasons, which forced the “Shake It Off” singer to defend her reputation.
“Taylor’s jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals,” her reps told Yard in a statement. “To attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect.”
Unfortunately for Taylor, that statement isn’t appeasing her critics. While the “Carolina” singer might not be on board for all of those flights, activists are taking issue with how much carbon her privately-owned plane is putting into the atmosphere.

https://warm1069.com/the-x-factor-released-never-before-seen-footage-of-harry-styles-first-audition/ | The X Factor delighted Harry Styles‘ fans by releasing the extended, six-minute cut of his first audition.
“Meet Harry Styles again for the very first time, but with EXTRA footage that’s never been aired before!” the reality competition teased on YouTube.
The clip shows how close Harry came to being cut in round one. Instead of wowing the judges with his take on Stevie Wonder‘s “Isn’t She Lovely,” the then-16-year-old Harry nearly blew it with a shaky rendition of Train‘s “Hey, Soul Sister.”
Unfortunately for the future Grammy winner, he sings the Train hit off-key. The good thing is, judge Simon Cowell decided to give Harry a second chance.
“I don’t know whether it’s the track that’s throwing you, but can I hear something [that’s] just you without any music?” Cowell asks, which led to Harry singing the track that got him through to the next round.
What fans might not have known is that the One Direction singer managed to charm Cowell before showing off his vocal chops, and that may have been why the record executive stuck up for him.
Other unseen footage sees Harry having a fun back-and-forth with Cowell about the most and least popular desserts being sold at the bakery he works at — as well as why he wanted to audition.
“I thought I’d give it a whirl this time… Because my mum’s always told me that I’m a good singer,” he sweetly explains.
Cowell counters in a matter-of-fact tone, “But mum’s normally don’t know.”
“Yeah, that’s what I mean! So I wanted to come and ask the people who know,” Harry smartly responds, which earns him a nod and smile of appreciation from the X Factor judge.
… And the rest is history!

https://warm1069.com/were-back-justin-bieber-returns-to-the-stage-for-first-time-since-ramsay-hunt-diagnosis/ | Justin Bieber took to the stage for the first time since being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which had paralyzed a part of his face.
The “Peaches” singer launched the European half of his Justice tour on Sunday with a performance at Italy’s Lucca Summer festival. Multitudes of fan-taken videos have surfaced across social media, which shows Justin celebrating his return to performing.
Justin took to to Instagram on Sunday to share a video of him amping himself for his comeback by declaring proudly during a group huddle, “We’re back! What a great, great evening!”
“I’m just so grateful to be back,” the Grammy winner continued before telling his team just how much he loves and appreciates them. The video ends with him marching excitedly to the stage.
Justin shared another video of him addressing his fans, saying, “I want to say thank you so much for having me back. This is my first day back! So good to be here.”
Back on June 10, the “Ghost” singer took to Instagram to explain that he had to cancel several tour dates because of Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which left half of his face paralyzed. The illness is caused by the chickenpox virus, which continues to lay dormant in a person after initial infection and can reactivate as a shingles rash, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The Justice tour’s official Instagram has since announced Justin will reschedule those missed North American dates. An announcement on that is coming “very soon,” the post assured.

https://warm1069.com/98-degrees-shares-never-before-seen-footage-to-celebrate-their-25th-anniversary/ | Has it really been 25 years since 98 Degrees released their eponymous debut album? The singers saluted the record on its milestone anniversary.
The official 98 Degrees Instagram account pieced together a special video tribute to the band by sharing some never-before-seen footage of the boys when they were first starting out. “25 years ago we released our debut album 98°,” the caption read. “Thank you to everyone who bought this record and supported us in 1997, and those still listening to it today.”
The video starts with Nick Lachey explaining how they hit the road back in the day. “When we first started, we were in an RV, a motor home. We actually drove the motor home ourselves,” he explained.
Footage sees the group driving around, hitting up various concert stops to perform for their growing number of fans, signing autographs and posing for pictures. The band’s debut single, “The Invisible Man,” booms in the background.
It appears the group isn’t done walking down memory lane because the singers also asked fans if they should “release more” from the vault.
They have since shared some never-before-seen photos of Nick and Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons and Justin Jeffre at one of their very first meet and greets. “Still reminiscing on the 25th anniversary of our first album together,” the group captioned the post. “Photos from a meet and greet. Who came to one of these back when we first started?”
Nick previously chatted with ABC Audio about how the group plans to celebrate the anniversary.
“We’re going to celebrate that anniversary with new projects,” he said at the time, noting they are “working in the studio” on a new EP that they hope to release this summer.

https://warm1069.com/britney-spears-shares-never-before-seen-photos-from-her-wedding/ | It’s been two months since Britney Spears wed Sam Asghari and the singer shared a behind-the-scenes look at her wedding, which was fit for a fairytale.
“Guys just two months ago I got married !!! Can you believe it ???” the Grammy winner gushed in the Instagram caption for two photos from the ceremony. The first one is of the blush pink reception area, which is richly decorated with roses, crystal chandeliers, billowing curtains, and a clear dance floor that is splashed in romantic hot pink and purple lights.
“This is the dance floor at my fairytale wedding before we danced,” Britney continued in the caption. The second slide shows the “special” Rolls-Royce she and Asghari drove away in, with the focus on the large bouquet of pink roses and the “Just Married” sign decorating the back.
Shouting out the four famous women who were on the guest list by name, Drew Barrymore, Selena Gomez, Madonna and Paris Hilton, Britney wrote “Thank you… for surprising me !!!”
The final slide is a photo of Selena. Britney raved in the caption, “Thank you to Selena for telling me all she wants is for me to be happy 3 times !!! It was a very, very, very special wedding !!!”
Fans are wondering if Britney’s continual messages to Selena are hints that the two may be collaborating on something.
Britney tied the knot with Asghari at her Thousand Oaks, California, home in June.

https://warm1069.com/carly-rae-jepsen-to-release-new-album-the-loneliest-time-this-fall/ | The wait for a new Carly Rae Jepsen album is over! The “Call Me Maybe” hitmaker announced her sixth studio album on Tuesday, called The Loneliest Time.
Carly, who is known for upbeat and inspiring music, explained to fans why she’s taking a more melancholy step with her new body of work. “I’m quite fascinated by loneliness. It can be really beautiful when you turn it over and look at it,” she said on Instagram while sharing the album’s official artwork. “Just like love, it can cause some extreme human reactions.”
The album’s official cover depicts Carly, who is wearing a see-through top, sitting with her back turned toward the camera. Her left arm is resting at a table that is decorated with pearl-bedazzled pears and what appear to be peach-colored peonies.
The Grammy winner also revealed the album has an explicit content warning.
Ahead of the album’s announcement, Carly hinted something big was coming on Instagram, where she teased on Monday, “I’m coming back for you, baby…” The video trailer depicts the singer speaking openly about the moon and what it represents — but fans also believe this was her way of leaving Easter eggs about some upcoming songs that will be heard on The Loneliest Time.
The forthcoming record arrives October 21 and is now available to preorder. It is the follow-up to her 2020 studio album, Dedicated Side B, which was the companion piece to 2019’s Dedicated.

https://warm1069.com/elton-john-abbas-benny-andersson-take-advantage-of-tiktok-song-mashup-trend/ | If you’re on TikTok, chances are you’ve come across several videos soundtracked to a mashup of ABBA‘s “Chiquita” and Elton John‘s “Bennie and the Jets.” So, what happened when the songs’ creators found out about it?
ABBA’s Benny Andersson jumped on the trend by taking it a little too literally. He shared a TikTok video of himself smiling while playing the opening notes of “Chiquita.” The camera then jumps as “Bennie and the Jets” cuts in, focusing in on a different pair of hands.
The camera pans up and shows a smiling Sir Elton, who is wearing a cozy track suit as he plays “Bennie and the Jets.”
“Heard that ‘Chiquitita’ was trending again,” ABBA captioned the cheeky video and tagged the “Tiny Dancer” singer.
The mashup has been a popular reaction song on TikTok, with people using it to illustrate a dramatic turn of events in a narrative. The clip has been used in nearly 50,000 videos since it was first posted in June by a user named reymifasol, who captioned their creation, “please for all your gorgeous summer transitions.”

https://warm1069.com/katy-perry-reveals-what-motherhood-has-taught-her-whether-shell-have-more-kids-well-see/ | Katy Perry‘s daughter, Daisy Dove, turns 2 on August 26. Ahead of the milestone birthday, the “Roar” hitmaker previewed what her little one has been up to.
Katy, who shares Daisy with fiancé Orlando Bloom, says her daughter is already walking in her parents’ shoes. “She’s a ham,” the American Idol judge told People. “She likes to dress up. She’s not very shy.”
As for the kind of performer Daisy could become one day, Katy thinks she could be a dancer. “She loves ballet,” the singer said. “She goes to tutu school and she loves it. It’s all very adorable.”
Katy also reflected on how her life changed since she welcomed Daisy in 2020, saying she is “just so blessed” she’s a mom. The experience has also been eye-opening, with Katy adding, “You just never thought there was that capacity for love.”
“It was just such an interesting thing having a child during COVID because everything paused besides that,” she expressed. “I love the experience I’m having with my daughter now.”
Naturally, fans are curious if the singer wants more kids, to which she teased to People in a separate interview, “We’ll see!”
Katy explained she’s “a planner” and is open to the idea of growing her family “hopefully in the future.”
The singer also praised her fiancé for helping her find balance as a mom and a singer because they share turns being the “#1 parent.”
“We do this funny thing where I go and visit him for a month while he’s making a movie and then when he’s not making a movie, he kind of takes charge on being #1 parent,” she dished. “Then I go and do all my business stuff, so we really are just tapping each other in and out.”

https://warm1069.com/madonna-says-broadway-musical-about-michael-jackson-brought-her-to-tears/ | Count Madonna as a big fan of Broadway’s jukebox musical MJ: The Musical. She says she loved it so much, she cried.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, the queen of pop described heading to New York City’s Neil Simon Theatre to see the performance, where she later met the cast and crew. She called the cast and band “amazing” but reserved the highest of praise for star Myles Frost, who plays the “Thriller” singer.

https://warm1069.com/olivia-rodrigo-sings-the-best-is-yet-to-come-in-new-high-school-musical-the-musical-the-series-teaser/ | A new episode teaser for High School Musical: The Musical: The Series sees Olivia Rodrigo performing a song that foreshadows her exit this season.
Creator Tim Federle confirmed to ABC Audio last month that Olivia’s character Nini will have a “meaningful sendoff” so Olivia can pursue her musical dreams full time. And, thanks to this new sneak peek, more clarity is provided on what happens with her character.
The 50-second snippet shows Olivia strumming a guitar by a bonfire as she sings an original ballad called “The Best Is Yet to Come.”
“I open my eyes and I could see the horizon/ And the thrills are indescribable/ And the California sun is yours/ You never know which way the ride could take you/ Or how a breeze can make you start down a brand new road/ You never know,” the Grammy winner sings as an inspiring drum beat swells in the background.
Federle spoke with People about the song’s significance. “Nini’s new, acoustic solo is a poignant grace note to Olivia Rodrigo’s remarkable run on our series,” he said. “The song is all about how unpredictable a young person’s future is — and how thrilling that can be, too.”
Nini’s journey this season will mirror what’s happening to Olivia in real life — with her pursuing her dream of becoming a professional singer.
The “drivers license” singer has starred as a main character in the series since 2019, but following her meteoric rise to fame and the release of her debut album, SOUR, she has taken on a much smaller role this season. It is not known if Olivia will return to the series, which recently got the green light for a fourth season.
High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is streaming its third season on Disney+.

https://warm1069.com/backstreet-boys-nick-carter-on-the-groups-shows-were-like-tom-brady/ | Backstreet Boys are in the middle of their DNA World Tour, which they resumed this year after it was cut short in 2020 due to the pandemic. The show is packed with more than 30 songs — hits and fan favorites — as well as huge production values and choreography. And Backstreet’s Nick Carter says it became clear to him during the pandemic how valuable their shows are to fans.
“I pretty much realized that, y’know, entertainment and performing is a blessing, because people are longing to be entertained and to have something to kind of just get their minds off of the craziness in the world right now,” Nick tells ABC Audio.
“They just want two hours of just escapism,” he adds. “And I think that, you know, Backstreet Boys represents a specific place in time where — [with] nostalgia and the songs and stuff — when people look back and they’re searching for that, it makes them smile.”
Even if you’re not looking for escapism, Nick says you can’t help but admire the work that goes into their performances. After so many years together, he boasts they’re the pinnacle of live entertainment.
“I mean, we exert so much energy when we’re onstage and … we’re putting that energy out or we’re seeing the smiles on the faces and that energy is coming back to us, it’s just … it’s [indescribable],” Nick says.
“I like to say, from a sport perspective — because I like to use sport analogies — I guess you could say we’re like Tom Brady, basically,” he adds. “Y’know, up there on stage playing at a very high level.”
The DNA World Tour is currently scheduled to run through March 2023. In October, they’ll release A Very Backstreet Christmas, their first holiday album.

He and Lady Gaga have been confirmed as official Emmy nominees for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) thanks to their show One Last Time: an Evening with Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga, which premiered last year. CBS Network was previously named the sole nominee for the special.
Gaga and Bennett have both been named co-nominees since they not only performed that night, they also hosted the special. In addition, they will also share the award with the show’s five executive producers, three producers and one supervising producer, who were also confirmed as official nominees for the award.
One Last Time was filmed at two sold-out shows at New York’s Radio City Music Hall in August 2021, which served as both Bennett’s 95th birthday celebration and his last hurrah. The legendary crooner has since retired from performing, and the shows marked his final public concert performance.
Bennett has since revealed he has been battling Alzheimer’s since 2016.
Gaga spoke to 60 Minutes after of the show’s taping and expressed she was nervous for Tony because of his health. “I wasn’t sure if he knew who I was…when that music comes on, something happens to him, he knows exactly what he’s doing,” she recalled to host Anderson Cooper. “When I walked out on that stage and he said, ‘It’s Lady Gaga!’ — my friend saw me and it was very special.”
Find out if Bennett and Gaga will add a new Emmy to their trophy case when the 74th annual Emmy Awards air on Monday, September 22 on NBC. The ceremony will also stream on Peacock.

https://warm1069.com/harry-styles-stops-concert-to-help-man-with-unique-proposal/ | Harry Styles helped a man pull off an epic proposal at his concert in Lisbon, Portugal.
A video shared by a concertgoer shows Harry stopping between songs to ask a man in the crowd about a sign he’s holding up that purportedly asks for help with a proposal. The man, named Carl, then asks if he can sing two lines to his girlfriend, Marianne.
The Grammy winner soon asks the man how long the two have been dating and, upon learning that they have been a couple for “a little over a year,” he asks the crowd if he should help out Carl.
Harry then declares over the crowd’s screams, “Yeah, all right,” and hands off his microphone. Another video taken by a concertgoer shows the “Adore You” singer sprinting across the stage and stopping dead in his tracks when he hears Carl belting out an Elvis Presley hit. Harry seems to be shocked and impressed.
Turns out, Carl has some serious pipes, and he flexed them while singing “Can’t Help Falling In Love” to his sweetheart, who joins him in a duet. Pretty soon, Harry encourages the entire stadium joins in.
Carl then takes out a ring, sinks to one knee and pops the question. Marianna said, “Yes!”
Harry was touched by the moment and congratulated the couple before continuing on with his show.

https://warm1069.com/man-who-attacked-lady-gagas-dog-walker-sentenced-to-prison/ | Jailyn White, one of the men accused of attacking Lady Gaga‘s dog walker, has been sentenced to four years in state prison.
Rolling Stone reports White accepted a plea deal that allowed for a reduced sentence. Gaga’s dog walker, Ryan Fischer, addressed White when recalling the night he was shot while defending the singer’s three French bulldogs —Gusav, Asia and Koji.
Fisher was shot after three assailants — including White — ran away with Koji and Gustav. Both dogs have since been returned.
“You left me bleeding out and gasping for my life,” Fischer told White. “I did almost die that night.” The former dog walker added that while he is still recovering from the gunshot wound, he’s also grappling with the emotional and mental toll of the attack.
“You didn’t just steal dogs from me that night, you stole my livelihood,” Fischer said, detailing how he fell into debt because he was no longer able to do his job. “You stole my purpose, and I’ve been lost without it.”
White bowed his head during Fischer’s testimony.
A judge then ruled White spend four years in state prison. He was served credit for the 533 days he already served in custody or through good behavior.
Another one of Fischer’s assailants, Lafayette Whaley, was present in court that day. His hearing has been scheduled for September 20.
The man who allegedly shot Fischer, James Jackson, was mistakenly released from prison in April and remains on the run. Authorities say he shot the dog walker in the chest with a .40-caliber handgun when attempting to steal the French bulldogs.

https://warm1069.com/music-notes-lindsey-stirling-harry-styles-ava-max-michael-buble-christina-aguilera-justin-bieber-and-nick-jonas/ | Lindsey Stirling shared some secrets of her “Sleepwalking” music video, revealing the snow machine used in the shot was broken, so she was being blasted in the face with snow! “It was like a blizzard,” she revealed on TikTok. But, like a pro, she kept her eyes open even though they were being “annihilated” by snowflakes!
Harry Styles‘ debut single, “Sign of the Times,” has crossed 1 billion views on YouTube! The 2017 hit song is his first music video to enter YouTube’s billion views club.

Christina Aguilera shared how she flies in style — with her whole crew! She shared a TikTok video of her team lip-syncing “Vanity” while partying in the aisle with the flight attendants. “Flying to the UK like…,” she captioned it.
Justin Bieber shared a sneak peek of what mornings with wife Hailey Bieber look like in an adorable new snap. The slightly blurry photo is of the two snuggling on their bed as their pet dog, Oscar, crashes the photo. “GOOD MORNING FROM THE BIEBER FAMILY,” he captioned the Instagram post.
Nick Jonas shouted out wife Priyanka Chopra, who is working with UNICEF in Poland to help Ukrainian refugees. “I’m always inspired by @priyankachopra and her heart and love for others,” he wrote in an Instagram Story.
Michael Bublé jumped on the TikTok trend and released the sped-up version of his song “Sway,” which has blown up on the video sharing service. Michael released his version of “Sway” in 2004 as part of his debut album.

https://warm1069.com/john-legend-and-chrissy-teigen-are-expecting-another-baby-joy-has-filled-our-hearts-again/ | John Legend and Chrissy Teigen are expecting a baby!
The Cravings cookbook author, 36, announced the news in an Instagram post on Wednesday, revealing that she’s expecting another baby after undergoing in vitro fertilization, or IVF.
“The last few years have been a blur of emotions to say the least, but joy has filled our home and hearts again,” Teigen wrote alongside a photo of herself showing off her baby bump. “1 billion shots later (in the leg lately, as you can see!) we have another on the way.”
“It’s been very hard keeping this in for so long!” she added.
Teigen, who is already a mom to 6-year-old Luna and 4-year-old Miles, expressed her apprehension around sharing her pregnancy news and talked about the nerves she would feel after each appointment.
“Every appointment I’ve said to myself, ‘OK if it’s healthy today I’ll announce,’ but then I breathe a sigh of relief to hear a heartbeat and decide I’m just too nervous still,” she said. “I don’t think I’ll ever walk out of an appointment with more excitement than nerves but so far, everything is perfect and beautiful and amazing.”
It’s unclear if Teigen will be having a baby boy or girl, but many of her fans and friends flooded her comments section sharing their warm wishes and congratulatory messages, including fellow “Cravings” co-author Adeena Sussman.
“We’re waiting for that little bebé with open arms,” Sussman wrote.
The announcement comes nearly two years after Teigen shared the heartbreaking news that she suffered a miscarriage. A few days before sharing the news, she told her followers that she had been admitted to the hospital due to “excessive bleeding.”
Teigen and Legend were going to name that baby Jack.

https://warm1069.com/lady-gagas-dog-kidnap-suspect-rearrested-after-being-mistakenly-released-from-jail/ | Lady Gaga can breathe a sigh of relief — the man suspected of shooting her dog walker and kidnapping her French bulldogs has been rearrested after he was erroneously released from jail in April.
KABC confirms James Howard Jackson, 19, was arrested without incident. He is accused by authorities of shooting dog walker Ryan Fischer in the chest with a .40-caliber handgun when stealing two of Gaga’s French bulldogs.
Authorities tracked Jackson down to an address on Apricot Drive in Palmdale, California. After executing a search warrant at the location, the suspect was found and arrested.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in April Jackson was mistakenly released due to a “clerical error.” The suspect had attended a hearing on April 5 but was then “inadvertently” released from custody.
In July, the U.S. Marshals Service offered a $5,000 reward in exchange for information that could lead to Jackson’s whereabouts. He was considered “armed and dangerous” at the time.
Jackson, along with Jaylin White and Lafayette Whaley, kidnapped Lady Gaga’s two French bulldogs Gustav and Koji in February 2021. Fischer was shot during the struggle. The three men were charged with attempted murder, conspiring to commit robbery and second-degree robbery.
White was sentenced Wednesday to serve four years in state prison after accepting a plea deal where he pleaded no contest to the latter charge. The two other charges against him were dismissed.
Whaley’s hearing has been scheduled for September 20.
Lady Gaga’s missing dogs have since been found. White’s father, Harold White, as well as Jennifer McBride were charged as accessories to attempted murder after McBride claimed she “found” the dogs and tried to claim the $500,000 reward Gaga offered for Gustav and Koji’s safe return.

https://warm1069.com/sam-smith-says-coming-out-as-nonbinary-allowed-them-to-create-their-most-authentic-music-yet/ | Sam Smith is about to release their most authentic album yet and they credit that to coming out as nonbinary in 2019.
Speaking with Billboard, the Grammy winner said being able to embrace their truest self, unencumbered by gender expectations, has been emotionally and mentally freeing. “I can’t express how incredible I feel every day,” they said.
Fans got their first taste of the new Sam Smith in their new single “Love Me More.”
“Love Me More,” says Sam, is an anthem of their journey of “trying not to hate myself” and discovering the “self-worth I had to earn.”
“I think joy for me, and for a lot of queer people, is quite a dangerous place,” the singer explained. “We’re all masters of pain, and I think it’s actually a very courageous act to step into the queer joy of it all.”
“Maybe the music I make in the future won’t sit as well on the radio … It takes a bit of courage to maybe try something that maybe people aren’t going to like,” Sam continued. “But I like it. And that’s all that matters.”
“This album, for me, marks the beginning of doing exactly what I want to do,” the British singer said, adding their newest offering will be their “first non-heartbreak album.”
The singer adds this new, authentic album is also a product of their journey of discovering who they were over the past three years.
“It was really a coming-of-age moment for me,” they said. “I was turning 30, we went through COVID-19, and I got the opportunity to sit down and really ask myself what it is I want to do [and] the type of music I want to make.”
Sam has yet to announce the album’s title or release date.

https://warm1069.com/camila-cabello-gets-threatening-anonymous-letter-in-new-trailer-for-the-voice/ | Camila Cabello has officially joined NBC’s The Voice as its newest coach — but she isn’t receiving the warmest of welcomes.
In a new teaser posted Thursday, Camila receives a “threatening” letter from an anonymous person, which is pieced together using magazine clippings to read, “You are going to lose so bad! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!”
Gwen Stefani, who rejoins The Voice this season, is not happy with how Camila is being treated. Wearing a skin-tight hot pink dress, she crosses her arms and remarks, “Who would send that?”
The camera then pans to Blake Shelton, the likely suspect, as he turns around in his big red chair and remarks, “I can’t believe you got that … anonymous letter.”
Turns out John Legend also got a message, which reads, “You should never have come back!” The “All of Me” singer is immediately suspicious that Blake is not all that innocent.
Turns out whoever sent Camila that note also poked around the gifts the crew put together to welcome her, taking a bite out of her special Voice cookies.
The trailer was captioned, “camila is about to turn #thevoice upside down!!!”
The Voice returns for a new season on Monday, September 19, at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.

https://warm1069.com/harry-styles-album-harrys-house-is-the-first-to-be-certified-platinum-this-year/ | Harry Styles‘ ambitious third album, Harry’s House, is the first record of 2022 to be minted Platinum by the RIAA.
The Recording Industry Association of America released its monthly list of songs and albums that earned new certifications, and making the biggest waves was Harry. In addition to becoming the first album to move over 1 million certified units this year, several of his songs earned new certifications, as well.
The song “Late Night Talking,” off Harry’s House, has been minted Gold, while “Cherry,” off Fine Line, is certified Platinum.
Harry isn’t the only artist to enjoy new awards this month. Sara Bareilles‘ song “Gravity” has been certified twice Platinum, while Rick Astley‘s meme-making hit “Never Gonna Give You Up” has sold over 5 million copies — thus going five times Platinum.
In addition, Magic!‘s 2014 hit “Rude” is now certified eight times Platinum, while Walker Hayes earned applause for “Fancy Like,” which is now certified four times Platinum.
Lastly, Justin Bieber earned credit from the RIAA thanks to his hit “Ghost,” which is now twice Platinum.

https://warm1069.com/lady-gaga-releases-teaser-for-joker-2-all-signs-point-to-her-playing-harley-quinn/ | Lady Gaga has found her next acting role — this time in the upcoming Joker 2. She confirmed her casting on Thursday, hinting she’ll be playing the villainous Harley Quinn.
“Joker: Folie à Deux,” Gaga announced on Instagram — the film’s title — and shared a brief teaser of the upcoming thriller set to debut in theaters in 2024.
The video, set to a red backdrop, features Gaga’s all black silhouette — except for a little red heart on her right eye — dancing to Fred Astaire‘s “Cheek to Cheek.” The heart’s placement is in the same spot as Margot Robbie‘s interpretation of Harley Quinn, which appeared in several films, including 2021’s The Suicide Squad.
The snippet also sees the return of Joaquin Phoenix‘s Joker — a role that landed him an Oscar — also appearing as a silhouette.
His shadow is posed like a marionette smoking a cigarette while Gaga, who is dressed in a long dress with puffy sleeves, strikes a menacing pose. The two shadows then join together in a dance, with the Joker’s markings around his eyes and Harley’s heart on her cheek highlighted in red.
The Grammy winner was first rumored to star as Harley Quinn of the upcoming Joker sequel earlier this summer, following reports the franchise will flirt with more musical elements. While this teaser seemingly confirms the rumors, she has yet to explicitly name the character she’s playing in the upcoming movie.
The upcoming sequel will be directed by Todd Phillips, who previously produced A Star Is Born, the 2018 remake that starred Joker producer Bradley Cooper and Gaga.
Joker: Folie à Deux laughs its way into theaters on October 4, 2024.
The first Joker movie grossed over $1 billion worldwide and picked up a pair of Oscars, including Phoenix’s Best Actor win.

https://warm1069.com/nick-jonas-reveals-secrets-about-s-o-s-to-mark-songs-15th-anniversary/ | It’s been 15 years since the Jonas Brothers released “S.O.S.” and Nick Jonas saluted the standout track by revealing a few of its secrets.
Taking to TikTok, the “Jealous” singer shared a one-minute video with some “fun facts… you may not know” about the song.
Fact #1, according to Nick: “I wrote the song when I was 13 in a hotel room in New York City.”
The singer said the first draft sounded very different than the final product. The original, he explained, used palm muted strumming for its guitars. After recreating what that sounded like, Nick explained why that changed.
“It wasn’t until we got into the studio with John Fields, our producer, that we were thinking, ‘It needs to be more memorable right off the top.’ So, that guitar line was born,” he revealed.
Secret #2 was about the song’s title! Nick revealed “S.O.S.” was originally going to be called “A Call I’ll Never Get.” So, what made the JoBros change it?
Said Nick, “When it came time to make the track list for the album, everyone kept calling it ‘S.O.S.’ So, we went with that.”
The Grammy winner also saluted the song for being their first to top the iTunes chart. Overall, despite the track now being 15 years old, Nick grinned, “To this day, [it’s] one of my favorite songs to play live.”
“Happy 15th birthday, ‘S.O.S.,'” Nick sweetly noted and extended the sentiment to his fans, who “sang your emo little hearts out then, and now, to every word.”
Nick captioned the birthday tribute, “Time flies when you’re having fun.”

https://warm1069.com/say-my-name/ | Better late than never, Philadelphia traffic reporter goes all “Beyonce”. #Renaissance.
With Beyonce’s new album Renaissance out now and dominating the discourse, low-key Beyonce stans are finding all kinds of creative ways to show their excitement. In Philadelphia, NBC reporter Sheila Watko said that she “had to celebrate Bey Day,” so she crammed her morning traffic report with as many of Bey’s song titles as she could get away with turning them into a stream of cheeky, funny-bad puns.
While “Formation” and “Heated” seem like low-hanging fruit, it’s pretty impressive how she sneaks in titles like “Beautiful Liar” and “Crazy In Love” — especially off the top of her head.
A convenient counter keeps track; she makes it all the way to 15 before her co-anchors offer some relief, contributing a few Beyonce references of their own to complete the clip. You can check it out below.
