In a minute-long snippet from the primetime special that was released on Wednesday (Nov. 10), the English pop superstar sits down with Winfrey in a similar setup to the host’s viral Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tell-all interview from this past spring.

Demi Lovato Pushes Sex Toys and Lizard People Conspiracies in Very Weird Week
Whether you’re trying to experience the vibrations of a higher consciousness, or you prefer your vibrations somewhat lower down, Demi Lovato has got you covered after a weird week in branded opportunities. The singer began by becoming an official ambassador for Gaia, a conspiracy hub that has been deplatformed from leading social media sites for spreading anti-vax and QAnon misinformation, and the week of sponsorships peaked climaxed ended with a new sex toy called the Demi Wand. 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. Gaga — who posed along co-stars Adam Driver, Jared Leto and Salma Hayek on the carpet — turned heads in a royal purple pleated-chiffon floor-length gown from Gucci’s latest collection, making her the first star to be publicly seen wearing a look from the ready-to-wear line since the fashion show. To complete the look, Gaga wore thigh-high black fishnet stockings from the collection, which were on display thanks to t...
Are BTS Getting Ready to Drop A New Album? A Brief Investigation
Buckle up, everyone: the biggest group on the planet seems to be gearing up for a new release. BTS may not have dropped a full-length album in 2021, but that hasn’t stopped them from breaking records and dominating the charts with their two singles, “Butter” and “Permission to Dance.” The Bangtan Boys have been a bit quiet lately — and sure, that could be because they just wrapped their Permission to Dance online concert, or because they’re preparing for their upcoming stint at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. 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...
