Grant Gustin is heading to Broadway!

The marriage between Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson was certainly controversial and unexpected when it occurred in May 1994. After all, it lasted less than two years before the couple split in January 1996. And now, decades later, we’re learning more about the ill-conceived union.

Drake and Jennifer Lopez are some of the latest artists to sign an open letter calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Palestine conflict.Adam Lambert has also joined the pair in adding his signature to the Artists4Ceasefire letter, which asks US President Joe Biden and Congress to push for the decision that would bring “an end to the bombing of Gaza”, with the aim of securing “the safe release of hostages”.The letter was signed originally by Dua Lipa, R.E.M.‘s Michael Stipe, Caroline Polachek, Killer Mike, Vic Mensa, Miguel, Kaytranada, Macklemore, as well as actors Cate Blanchett, Joaquin Phoenix, John Cusack, Lena Waithe and others.Part of the letter, which was published last week, reads: “We urge your administration, and all world leaders, to honour all of the lives in the Holy Land and call for and facilitate a ceasefire without delay – an end to the bombing of Gaza, and the safe release of hostages.“More than 5,000 people have been killed in the last week and a half – a number any person of conscience knows is catastrophic. We believe all life is sacred, no matter faith or ethnicity and we condemn the killing of Palestinian and Israeli civilians.”The letter continued: “Half of Gaza’s two million residents are children, and more than two thirds are refugees and their descendants being forced to flee their homes.

SZA has said she initially thought Drake was trying to “sabotage” her on their recent collaboration ‘Slime You Out‘.In a new interview with the Wall Street Journal, the singer admitted that when playing demos to friends and collaborators, she often “won’t trust” them if they “accept my first draft.”She went on to reveal this also happened with Drake when the pair teamed up to create ‘Slime You Out’.“I just handed in the first draft to Drake, and he’s putting it on his album,” she said. “I’m scared because I handed in second vocals and he didn’t use that. And now I’m like, ‘Are you trying to sabotage me?’ I know that’s not true.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Hipgnosis Songs Fund — the company that led the music-catalog gold rush of recent years by spending more than $2 billion for song assets by Neil Young, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and many others — is facing an uncertain future as some 83.2% of its investors voted Thursday that a new board make major structural changes to the overextended company. Investors also rejected a proposal by its leadership to shore up its finances by selling off around $440 million of its 65,000-song catalog to a sister fund backed by Blackstone.

Taylor Swift just hit an exciting milestone on the Billboard Hot 100!

Nicki Minaj has released a new surprise track ‘FOR ALL THE BARBZ’ featuring Drake and Chief Keef.The Queens rapper is set to release her new album ‘Pink Friday 2‘ on November 17. She recently teased fans with ‘Bahm Bahm‘, a standalone track, and ‘Last Time I Saw You‘, which is confirmed to be on the new album.Yesterday (October 20), Minaj unleashed her latest collaboration with Drake and Chief Keef, who keep their verses and instrumentals from Drake’s original ‘All The Parties’ beat. The song was released on his latest album ‘For All The Dogs‘.On ‘FOR ALL THE BARBZ’, the rapper freestyles and takes shots at fellow rappers Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, as they all appeared at the VMAs: “VMAs was a family reunion / First time in a while I seen all of my sons.” She continued: “I make the movies, I give you bitches cameos.”Upon the release of the freestyle, Minaj took to X/Twitter, cryptically writing: “Happy Pink Friday you guys.

Drake's new album For All the Dogs had a number of decent features — J. Cole on "First Person Shooter," Yeat on "IDGAF" — but my personal favorite was Chief Keef's cameo on "All The Parties." That song seems to have resonated with Nicki Minaj as well, as she's shared an unofficial remix of the song on YouTube.

Drake and Michael Jackson have tied with the most Number One hits by a male solo artist in Billboard history.The rapper’s track ‘First Person Shooter’ which features J. Cole debuted at Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 charts making it his 13th chart-topping song in the US charts which is a record that had yet to be surpassed since Jackson achieved it back in 1995.

Taylor Swift's new movie enjoyed the biggest concert film opening weekend ever, the New York Times reports. It is estimated that Taylor Swift The Eras Tour generated $126 million in global ticket sales after screenings began on October 12. $95 million of that overall figure came from North American theater, with the further $31 million coming via the 94 international territories the film is also currently screening in.

Refresh for updates…Taylor Swift: Eras Tour may have missed the century mark in regards to a domestic opening, but the 12x Grammy winner was always guaranteed that number worldwide, with AMC reporting this AM that the Sam Wrench directed concert pic has racked up $126M-$130M. Overseas opening is $31M-$33M. AMC is reporting a range ala domestic; this the first time the circuit has handled a global theatrical-day-and-date release of this magnitude. Note, we never saw this hitting $200M WW; overseas was always going to be light and at this point remains at the lower-end of expectations.

Counter-Strike 2 players are no longer able to pull off a “Michael Jackson peek” thanks to a game update, but they’ve replaced that with a “Shakira booty dance”.Earlier this week, Counter-Strike 2 players were using a custom control to lean their character’s body out of the way of bullets, and the result looked somewhat similar to Michael Jackson‘s lean in ‘Smooth Criminal’.While it was entertaining, Valve removed the “foot pinning bug” that let players perform the trick in the most recent patch.The update also solved the spaces where players could clip through ceilings in some maps, adjusted Inferno, Mirage, Nuke, Overpass, and Vertigo, improved player visibility and added a few Steam Workshop tools.Yet, it did not take the Counter-Strike 2 community long to find another musical artist to emulate in their matches (via Dot Esports). Repeatedly pressing “A” and “D” on the keyboard causes the player character to sway back and forth.

Counter Strike 2 players have discovered a trick that lets them seemingly dodge bullets, and in practice it looks a little like Michael Jackson‘s lean in ‘Smooth Criminal’.Reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, the “Michael Jackson Peek” in Counter-Strike 2 is achieved by running in the game while inputting a custom key bind. It’s as easy as pasting this code into the game’s autoexec file in the player’s Steam folder on their PC.When active, the player’s character leans in a similar way to the lean seen in Michael Jackson’s music video for ‘Smooth Criminal’ in 1988.

Drake has submitted his collaborative album with 21 Savage, ‘Her Loss’, for Grammy consideration after withholding his previous two records.The Canadian artist, who has won five Grammy Awards in total, has missed the annual ceremony in recent years and criticised the Recording Academy’s nomination process.In 2021, Drake withdrew his music from consideration after being nominated in two categories for the 2022 Grammys: Best Rap Album (‘Certified Lover Boy’) and Best Rap Performance (‘Way 2 Sexy’ feat. Future and Young Thug).He then decided not to submit his next solo album ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ or any of its singles for this year’s Grammys.Now, as reported by Pitchfork, Drake has seemingly ended his boycott of the awards show by submitting ‘Her Loss’ for consideration at the 2024 Grammys.

21 Savage made his first live performance outside the US by joining Drake on stage in Toronto this weekend.The Canadian performance at the Scotiabank Arena on Saturday (October 7) came after 21 Savage was declared a ‘lawful permanent resident’ of the US, meaning he will be able to finally visit his birth nation of England.A four-year legal battle was sparked in 2019 when the rapper (real name Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph) was arrested for immigrating to the US and overstaying his visa.The rapper had previously been unable to tour outside of the US, including the Canadian leg of Drake‘s ‘It’s All A Blur’ tour.A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi)On Saturday, a man who declared that he was at the concert on behalf of “his majesty, Charles III”, announced: “To who it may concern, Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, known officially as 21 Savage, is now cleared to travel up north and perform for his beloved fans.”“He has chosen Toronto as his first destination. Ladies and gentlemen–,” he added, before being cut off by Drake.“Ladies and gentlemen, performing for the first time outside of America in his life.
