Salty Artist Management Lands Slow Pulp and More, Announces Three New Managers
“At a time when all of our clients are off the road, it’s given us an opportunity to look at our clients’ plans as well as our company structure,” says Heimann. “It felt like the right time to use these months to really build out a structure and find ways to support these managers who wanted to have a bigger team and have a brain trust where they can share ideas and get feedback.” Prior to Salty, Chen independently managed Model/Actriz while co-managing Kate Bollinger with Messina-Doering, in addition to also providing A&R support for the Mississippi-based Fat Possum Records. Chen also spent several years at Brilliant Corners Artist Management (formerly Zeitgeist Artist Management) where he worked with a variety of nationally-acclaimed artists like Death Cab for Cutie, Toro y Moi, Phan...
Selena Gomez, Joe Jonas, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Kacey Musgraves and More Stars Who Voted Early
More than 14 million Americans have voted so far, and with less than three weeks left until the Nov. 3 election, this year’s tallies are on track to be historic, with some states already posting 10-40 percent of the total votes counted in 2016 through a combination of absentee and in-person early voting.

Harry Styles Hung Out at a Fan’s House (& Fed Her Fish) After His Car Broke Down
Thankfully, Styles left her a note. “Theadora, my car broke down on your street and your dad’s friend kindly let me wait at your house with a cup of tea,” he wrote. “I’m devastated that we missed each other. Looking forward to meeting soon. Treat people with kindness.” He also noted that he fed her fish, took photos with said fish and signed her copy of his album Fine Line. “Sending you all my love, I’m so sorry we missed each other,” he wrote. “Until next time, Harry.” While Theadora’s Instagram account is private (likely due to the viral story), she left a cute message in her bio, sharing that the fish nourished by Styles is, in fact, named Harry.

We Still Can’t Fight the Moonlight: Here’s The ‘Coyote Ugly’ Megamix You Didn’t Know You Needed
For all of us who saw Coyote Ugly in the theater (twice), a standout was not just the film’s aspirational lifestyle of boozy fun, but the pop-centric soundtrack. Featuring a quartet of LeAnn Rimes bangers — “Can’t Fight the Moonlight,” “Please Remember,” “The Right Kind of Wrong” and “But I Do Love You” (all of which were written by Dianne Warren), the music gave the ladies of the namesake canteen something to dance to when they took to the top of the bar, with Rimes herself strutting alongside them in the film’s climactic scene. Now, Grammy-winning producer Dave Audé has gifted us a Coyote Ugly megamix featuring all four of Rimes’ hits mashed up into a dancefloor-worthy extravaganza of beats and lyrics you still...
Here Are the Lyrics to Yung Bleu’s ‘You’re Mines Still,’ Feat. Drake
Yung Bleu tapped Drake for the remix of his confessional ballad “You’re Mines Still,” which debuted at No. 52 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week (dated Oct. 31) for Bleu’s career-first entry and Drake’s 228th entry. The original song is off the Atlanta rapper’s Love Scars: The 5 Stages of Emotions EP that he released earlier this month.

Bebe Rexha Gets ‘Quizzed’ by ‘Clueless’ Star Alicia Silverstone — Then Turns the Tables
After nailing the True or False round of “Quizzed” with lightning speed, the singer-songwriter declares, “I’m a professional at Clueless facts!” The General Trivia round — which included questions about Cher’s cause for the school charity drive, the song Elton (Jeremy Sisto) sang with Tai (Brittany Murphy), and more — didn’t go much differently. That leads Silverstone to ponder: “If I didn’t have these answers, I’m really curious if I would know these answers. … I’m just wondering if you were given the cheat sheet before this!” During the round, Rexha admits that revisiting the film as an adult brought new understanding to some of the lines and props. “Watching the movie growing up, I didn’...

Sony Music Shrugs Off Pandemic, Reports Q2 Gains
Within that, the company received a one-time gain of 6.5 billion yen ($62.2 million) by selling shares of Big Hit Entertainment subsidiary Pledis and another 5.4 billion yen ($50.85 million) in what it terms a music company business transfer of an undisclosed business, which it apparently no longer owns a stake in.
