Franziska Krug/Getty Images When Ed Sheeran and his wife Cherry welcomed their daughter Lyra, it wouldn't be a surprise if the first thing they told her was "You're Beautiful" -- because it was James Blunt's music that soundtracked her birth. Speaking on BBC Radio 2, Ed revealed that he and Cherry were both big fans of James Blunt's music when they were younger, but now, after James toured with Ed, he and his wife are very good friends of Ed and Cherry's. That's why Ed and Cherry chose to play James' breakthrough debut album Back to Bedlam -- which features "You're Beautiful" -- in the delivery room while waiting for Lyra's birth. According to Ed, the album ended just as Lyra came into the world, but then he says another James Blunt song -- "The Greatest," from his 2019 album Once Upon a Mind -- started playing "the moment that she started crying and screaming." "It was the most special and most magical moment," Ed gushed, adding, "It&#..

by Bellocqimages/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images After teasing it for days, The Kid LAROI has finally confirmed that his song "Stay," a collaboration with his new bestie Justin Bieber, "is coming." You can now pre-save the song, though there's no official release date. Three days ago, LAROI posted a photo of himself holding up a sign saying, "Stay July 9th?" When it's released, "Stay" will be the first single LAROI has dropped since the "Without You" remix with Miley Cyrus. This will be LAROI's second collab with Justin Bieber, following the song "Unstable," which appears on Justin's album JUSTICE. The two artists are now both managed by Scooter Braun. LAROI has also been teasing a project called F**k Love 3, presumably a follow-up to his 2020 mixtape F**k Love and its deluxe edition, F**k Love (Savage), the latter of which features the original solo version of "Without You."

Johnny Nunez/Getty Images for BET Madonna is catching heat for her attempt to insert herself into the discussion surrounding Lil Nas X's same-sex kiss at the BET Awards this past weekend -- but Lil Nas X himself isn't bothered. After the "Montero" rapper kissed one of his male backup dancers onstage, Madonna posted a photo of the moment to her Instagram stories side by side with the moment she kissed Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. She hashtagged the post "#diditfirst." Fans were quick to point out that comparing Madonna's smooch to Lil Nas X's kiss isn't exactly comparing apples to apples. As one Twitter user put it, "Madonna - a straight white woman - kissing another white woman does not compare to Lil Nas X - a gay black man - kissing a black man live on the fkn BET Awards." The Diet Prada Instagram account noted, "white women kissing on a public platform as you did at the 2003 VMAs is hardly as revolutionary as..

Scottie Cameron 5 Seconds of Summer singer Luke Hemmings is stepping out solo. It turns out Luke spent his quarantine writing new music, which has turned into his debut solo album, When Facing the Things We Turn Away From, due out August 13. The first single, "Starting Line," is out now. "'Starting Line' discusses missing various memories," Luke explains. "You're reflecting on your youth and all of the madness and craziness. It's like you're forgetting so many pieces of your life -- not from vices or anything, but from the sheer volume." He adds, "I had to figure out how to fill a lot of gaps for myself in a positive way. It's the human condition to change everything up after so long. A lot of the album deals with the idea time is slipping away from you." 5SOS' most recent album, CALM, arrived last March 27, just after the pandemic shut down the entertainment industry. It peaked at number two in the U.S., and became the band's fourth straig..

Rich Fury/Getty Images Following Britney Spears' shocking court testimony, during which she accused her father, her family and her conservatorship of abusing its power over her, the pop star's father Jamie Spears has responded in a court filing. Mr. Spears points out that, while he's the conservator of Britney's estate, it's a woman named Jodi Montgomery who has been the "conservator of the person" -- the one who's in charge of Britney's mental and physical well-being -- since 2019. Unlike Montgomery, Mr. Spears notes, he "does not speak or meet with Ms. Spears’ medical team, and he is not permitted to nor does he have the opportunity to provide any input into his daughter’s current medical treatment, diagnosis or therapy.” Nor does he "participate or discuss her self-care, marriage or reproductive desires," adding, "These are issues under the purview of Ms. Montgomery." In court, Britney claimed, among other things, that she's been prohibi..
