Harry Styles Helps a Fan Come Out to Her Mom at His Concert: ‘She’s Gay!’
The stadium camera then panned to the fan’s mom, as she wiped tears away from her eyes, cheered, and blew kisses to her daughter down in the pit. Styles applauded before pointing something out to the fan and her mom. “Now, I don’t want to ruin the moment,” he said, smirking. “But wouldn’t it be nice if you were a little bit closer together? You’ll see her later, congratulations and thank you!” The fan ended up posting a video of the moment from her perspective, while captioning it with a thank-you message for Styles. “A moment that will actually be with me forever,” she wrote. “Thank you for creating a safe place for me. Thank you for letting me grow alongside you as a fan. Thank you for helping me know who I am. T...
Britney Spears Blames Mother for Conservatorship in Since-Deleted Instagram Post: “She Ruined My Life”
As the #FreeBritney movement came to a head earlier this year, Britney Spears didn’t shy away from voicing her frustrations at anyone who didn’t stand up for her in her conservatorship — particularly her own flesh and blood. Back in July, the pop star publicly lashed out at her sister, Jamie Lynn, and her father, Jamie, and she’s now doubled down on those claims by blaming her mother, Lynne Spears, for the conservatorship that allowed Jamie to control nearly every aspect of Spears’ life for 13 years. “What people don’t know is that my mom is the one who gave him the idea,” she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post, according to BBC News. “I will never get those years back… she secretly ruined my life.” She continued, “You know exactly what you did. My dad is not smart enough to ever thin...

Malone’s manager, Dre London, revealed back in April that Posty has two potential albums up his sleeve, though no official plans for release were revealed. The Weeknd told fans that his forthcoming album, tentatively titled Dawn, is “...

Rosalía Announces New Album Motomami, Teases First Single: Stream
Spanish pop star Rosalía has shared a 15-second song clip on Instagram that ends with the words, “New Album Motomami 2022.” At this point, it’s unclear if “Motomami” is also the name of a single, but she repeats it several times during the musical snippet. If the clip is any indication, whatever’s coming next is a marked departure from her 2018 album El Mal Querer, an experimental concept album inspired by flamenco and based on a 13th century Occitan novel. The Motomami preview includes thunderous bass and percussion, interspersed with short moments of silence in which Rosalía purrs, “Motomami, motomami, motomami!” At first blush, it sounds much closer to hyperpop than her twist on flamenco. In the video, which may be a sneak peek at a music video, she appears covered in mud, wea...
Lady Gaga Poses Nude for ‘British Vogue,’ Talks Playing Patrizia Reggiani in ‘House of Gucci’
Though Gaga went all in with method acting while playing Patrizia, she also revealed that she never took the next step — meeting Patrizia Reggiani in person to get a better idea of what she is like in real life, minus the tabloid fodder. “I only felt that I could truly do this story justice if I approached it with the eye of a curious woman who was interested in possessing a journalistic spirit so that I could read between the lines of what was happening in the film’s scenes,” she said, adding that “nobody was going to tell me who Patrizia Gucci was. Not even Patrizia Gucci.” Playing the role for such a long time — which Gaga says consisted of a year and a half — got in the singer-turned actress’ head. “I had some psychological difficulty at ...
Janet Jackson Super Bowl ‘Wardrobe Malfunction’ to Be Probed in New Documentary
After the Spears doc debuted in February, Timberlake issued a public apology to both his ex Spears and Jackson for the way he treated them. After Timberlake came off as callous and calculating in the years after his 2002 split from Britney in Framing, a number of outlets called for Justin to be called to task for the apparent pass he got from the music industry and pundits in the wake of what became known as “Nipple-gate.” Following the incident, Jackson was uninvited from the following week’s Grammy Awards and her videos were yanked from Viacom properties including MTV, CBS and Infinity Broadcasting. Timberlake, though, not only appeared at the Grammys, but was allowed to issue an apology at the event, and then went on to headline the SB halftime show in 2018, while...
Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson Documentary Coming to Hulu This Month
Now that Britney has effectively been freed, FX and Hulu are following up their New York Times Presents documentary Framing Britney Spears with a deep dive into Janet Jackson’s ill-fated performance at the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show. Entitled Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson, the documentary will explore the events that went down that evening and the pop culture shift that followed. In the off chance that you need a recap, Jackson found herself at the crux of a professional and personal crisis when she took the stage with Justin Timberlake at the Super Bowl in 2004. Near the end of the halftime show, Timberlake briefly exposed Jackson’s breast to millions of viewers. The move left Timberlake’s legacy intact, but unfairly tarnished Jackson’s for years to com...
Britney Spears Asks for More Freedom in Bloody Halloween Post: ‘Can I Play Now?’
As many of her Instagram posts have over the past few months, the caption contained a reference to the conservatorship that has controlled her personal life and finances for the past 13 years. Some of Spears’ comments on social media have been cryptic, but this caption specifically mentions her “ma and dad” not letting her drive while she’s been under the conservatorship and asks, “can I play now ????” “On a SPECIAL note Stay classy ‘Murica and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do because that’s like a WHOLE LOT y’all !!!!” she wrote with a string of winky faces. “Let me explain myself … I’m saying in a crazy world like we have today that it’s pretty important to stay safe !!! Like we did for Covid y’all !!!! But still have fun … I...
