Anyone rooting for Lovato or the sanity of their fans has to be concerned about the connection to Gaia. As the site noted in a press release announcing the partnership last week, “Lovato brings one of the world’s largest social media followings to Gaia’s burgeoning network of conscious brand ambassadors.” To ...

Lady Gaga Stuns in Billowing Purple Chiffon Gown on First ‘House of Gucci’ Red Carpet
Of course, she wore Gucci. Lady Gaga is back on the red carpet in a big way. The House of Gucci star stepped out for the U.K. premiere of the movie in London on Tuesday (Nov. 9), and stunned in a billowing purple gown that, unsurprisingly, was plucked straight from Gucci’s spring 2022 Love Parade runway show that took place in Los Angeles last week.

This is the longest break BTS has ever taken between albums as the one-year mark approaches since the release of the tender, pandemic-era BE. Early 2020 also included the massive release of Map of the Soul: 7, so it’s been a while since fans had a full album to unpack. ARMY has...
