British royal family news reveals that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not been seen with any A-listers in quite a while.
Where have all their high-vis friends gone? To be fair they were rubbing elbows with a Nigerian fugitive recently, staying in the country at his request.
But that type of friend can cause more trouble than benefits and weeks later it looks like the whole of Nigeria has been Markled.
According to one royal insider, there is a worrying trend when it comes to being in close contact with the Duke and Duchess of Excess.
Royal Family News – Where Are Harry & Meghan’s Friends?

At age 16, Scotty McCreery’s country music career was officially ignited when he won the 2011 version of ‘American Idol,’ but that’s not the greatest compliment to his career.

Now, one of those judges is throwing out some names that might replace Katy next season. Here is what Luke Bryan had to say about the newcomer.

It’s Tuesday night on the Las Vegas Strip. Crowds have been flowing into the Michelob Ultra Arena for the past two hours, a sea of red and silver and black. The merch line snakes around the entire front of the arena, folded onto itself like a theme-park queue. People nervously ask which Las Vegas Aces jerseys are still left — do you still have Wilson? Gray? Young? Inside, just before seven, nearly every seat is filled when the lights turn low. Signs wave, the stands vibrate with cheers and stomps,...

In 2011, Jennifer Lopez made the surprising but ultimately fruitful decision to become a judge on American Idol. At this stage in her career, she had begun to feel relatively aimless. She didn’t have as many opportunities as she once did and she craved a new challenge. While some warned her that taking the job would be a mistake, she was grateful for what it did for her image.
Jennifer Lopez said joining ‘American Idol’ was good for her
When Simon Cowell exited American Idol, Lopez swept in to replace him. Her career was in a lull and she felt it was a good step for her.
“I had the kids and wasn’t being offered a whole bunch of stuff,” she told Variety in 2019, adding, “I really concentrated on my marriage. I was going around with Marc [Anthony].”

“American Idol’s” executive producer and showrunner Megan Michaels Wolflick just wrapped up one of the strongest seasons yet of ABC’s reality TV show, which ended with Abi Carter claiming victory on finale night. “It’s exciting to have a girl winner, and someone that really brought it from her first audition,” she tells us about the 21-year-old pop ballad singer from California. “She really had a magic moment when she first auditioned with ‘What Was I Made For?’ in L.A. for the judges, and I think she only grew from there.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.
Speaking about the longevity of “American Idol,” Michaels Wolflick proclaims, “This show is a brand. It is a trusted brand. I do feel like it is, in my mind, the NFL of singing shows as far as you come to us because you trust in the process. It’s a show about the finalists.

Katy Perry released a re-edited version of Harrison Butker’s controversial commencement speech Sunday, splicing his words together to create a message of female empowerment in opposition to what the football player originally said.
“Fixed this for my girls, my graduates, and my gays,” Perry wrote on Instagram. “You can do anything, congratulations and happy Pride.”
The Kansas City Chiefs player was slammed on social media following his commencement speech at Benedictine College last month, where he condemned abortion, euthanasia, IVF, surrogacy and the LGBTQ community, as well as suggested that women should embrace being a “homemaker.” He also denounced the “diabolical lies told to women,” suggesting that enforcing traditional gender roles is the better route.

Katy Perry Moves Onward, Makes More Money
It seems incredible that when she still went by the name of Katy Hudson, the now-famous singer was dropped by her record label. Actually, lots of people had that happen to them, but few of them became so famous. Six years later, she signed with Capitol Records and her bank balance just keeps on growing. Per Forbes, the talented star is now worth $340 million.

X and Instagram turned into celebratory water coolers for the likes of Lynda Carter, Rob Reiner, Mark Hamill, Michael Rapaport, Henry Winkler and more Thursday after a New York City found former President Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records.

All affirmed their guilty verdicts.

Netflix made some noise in the unscripted world when it hired Jeff Gaspin, the former NBCUniversal chief, as its new defacto reality boss earlier this year.
The hire ostensibly signaled that the streamer wanted to step up its unscripted efforts and take on the broadcast networks when it comes to buying big entertainment formats.
During his time as NBC’s head of alternative entertainment, he developed series including The Apprentice, The Biggest Loser and Deal or No Deal and after his promotion, his last act as Chairman of NBC Universal Television was buying The Voice, which other than The Masked Singer, was arguably the last major entertainment format to breakthrough on the broadcast nets.
Netflix is now doubling down on efforts to find its version of The Voice.
“The difference from the past is we want to focus on bigger formats, more of what you would call broadcast-style shows versus the cable style shows.

American Idol winners don’t always stay with their record label as they navigate their music careers, and now, another one has done likewise. Some of them like Maddie Poppe were devasted to lose their record label. Meanwhile, others get dropped or changed because they make mistakes like Laine Hardy.

Katy Perry often advises the winner of the talent show, and she knows that winning isn’t the end of the journey to success. In fact it’s just the beginning. While a record label forms part of the prize from ABC, not everyone hangs in there.

With Katy Perry leaving American Idol as one of the judges, fans are making guesses at who will replace her. Many fans have already made a wish list with names like Jon Bon Jovi on them. However, there is a new guess and it is based on something a megastar has said this year.
Here is who some think might be joining American Idol next season.
Will Adele Join American Idol As New Judge?
A Reddit post was started with an embed from a social media post. In that post, someone claimed that Adele was considering joining American Idol as Katy Perry’s replacement. The reasoning given is that she wants to have a second baby and wants something more laid back (that still pays well) than her Vegas residency.

It was the feud heard round the world — still is, really. Kendrick Lamar and Drake have traded diss tracks back and forth, and they went beyond petty beefs. Drake accused Lamar of domestic abuse, while Lamar called Drake a “certified pedophile.” In the end Lamar was considered the winner of the war according to Andre Gee of Rolling Stone and Joseph Patterson of Complex UK and Trench Magazine, among others, and their relative commercial performances bear that out, with Lamar’s “Not Like Us” topping the Billboard Hot 100. But could Grammy darling Lamar win more Grammys for so directly calling out another Grammy winner?
The Grammys have previously awarded artists for addressing their grievances in song. After a savage backlash against The Chicks for criticizing then-President George W. Bush, the trio doubled down and declared that they were “Not Ready to Make Nice,” ultimately winning Record of the Year...

Some of The Beach Boys‘ hits made it all the way to No. 1, but the overwhelming majority did not. Some of their most important tunes got nowhere close. Here’s a look at five tunes that didn’t get as much love as they deserved.
1. ‘California Girls’
One of the best summer jams of all time, “California Girls,” only peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. While Mike Love’s lyrics are cute and sweet, the real star of the song is Brian Wilson’s production, especially the opening riff. Pop music has rarely been as complex or beautiful as the intro to “California Girls.”
The tune also helped cement California’s sun and fun image. Katy Perry nicked the title of this tune for her own track “California Gurls,” which reuses the line “I wish they all could be California girls.” While Perry’s song is great, it doesn’t compare to the original.

American Idol ended Season 22 on a high note.
The long-running singing competition series bid farewell to judge Katy Perry during Sunday’s finale episode, with an audience of 5.64M tuning in, according to live + same-day data. That was an 8% increase over the week prior to reach a season high in total viewers.
The finale was up fairly significantly versus the Season 22 average, which was around 4.8M viewers per episode on Sunday nights and 4.1M for Monday nights.
