Coldplay Link Up with Billie Eilish, BTS, Camila Cabello for Global Citizen Set: Watch
Coldplay could’ve died as villains, but after 25 years in the game they’ve lived long enough to see themselves become the heroes. The onetime least-cool act in rock and roll are flourishing in an increasingly poptimistic world, and for the climate crisis fundraiser Global Citizen Live, they teamed up with Billie Eilish and FINNEAS, BTS, Camila Cabello, and Shawn Mendes. Coldplay enlisted Eilish and FINNEAS for the X&Y cut “Fix You.” Performing in front of a golden backdrop that set off her new ‘do, Eilish’s breathy vocals were a perfect complement to this softer song, while FINNEAS’ mic was turned so far down that it’s unclear whether he was singing backup or lip synching. As for the Bangtan Boys, they didn’t make it to New York in person, but they did film a cosmic vide...

Here’s How Sam Asghari Feels About Past Britney Spears Documentaries
“Past docs left bad aftertaste. I’m hopeful this one will be respectful,” he added about Controlling Britney Spears, the follow-up to February’s The New York Times Presents: Framing Britney Spears. “I don’t blame CNN, BBC or Netflix (which got me thru lockdowns) for airing them because as an actor I tell other peoples stories too. I question producers who made them ‘just to shed light’ without input or approval from subject. Any credit for light being she should go to #freebritney.” Earlier this year, the BBC released The Battle for Britney: Fans, Cash and a Conservatorship and CNN has an upcoming special called Toxic: Britney Spears’ Battle for Freedom. On Wednesday (Sept. 22), Asghari called out Netflix following the release of its trailer ...
