BTS’s J-Hope has dropped his latest solo single “Mona Lisa,” along with an accompanying music video. The track and visual are the follow-up to his recent single, “Sweet Dreams”.

The video kicks-off with the K-pop singer and rapper, 31, gazing at an image of woman’s turned face, in an apparent museum, with no other artwork on the walls.  An official description reads: “‘Mona Lisa’ is a love song that pays tribute to celebrating one’s unique beauty. With its title inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic masterpiece, ‘Mona Lisa,’ the track likens the praise for the alluring person to the timeless masterpiece. It conveys that what truly moves someone is not external beauty, but rather the distinctive characteristics that make each person special.” Check out the video for ‘Mona Lisa’ – HERE.

As noted, J-Hope recently shared the single and video for “Sweet Dreams” featuring Miguel, which marked his first solo project in a year since the release of his album, Hope on the Street Vol 1. last March. The collaboration marks the two stars’ first time working together, with the video featuring an overhead shot of the South Korean singer sleeping in bed, and when he opens his eyes, the image cuts to a house floating in the sky.  See the video for ‘Sweet Dreams’ – HERE.

Russell Brand denies new allegations of rape & sexual assault

Russell Brand at the World premiere of 'Rock of Ages' held at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood^ USA on June 8^ 2012.

Russell Brand has addressed the rape and sexual assault allegations made against him. On Friday, April 4, London’s Metropolitan Police charged the 49-year-old actor and comedian with one count of rape, one count of indecent assault, one count of oral rape and two counts of sexual assault (per a news release).

The charges, which are related to four separate women dating back to 1999, and follows an investigation that started in 2023. According to Deadline, Brand allegedly “raped a woman in Bournemouth in 1999, indecently assaulted a woman in 2001 in Westminster, London, orally raped and sexually assaulted a woman in Westminster in 2004, and between 2004 and 2005 sexually assaulted a woman, also in Westminster.”

Brand was previously accused of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse by four women in September 2023, and was sued by another woman a few months later. He also denied those allegations at the time.

After news broke of the new charges against him, Russell released a new video on X denying the allegations: “We’re very fortunate in a way to live in a time when there’s so little trust in the British government. We’re very fortunate, I suppose, that this is happening at a time where we know that the law has become a kind of weapon to be used against people, institutions and sometimes entire nations that will not accept and tolerate levels of corruption around precedent, and I’m speaking particularly to those of you in the UK,” he started off the minute and a half-long video. “How do you feel about your legal system right now? How do you feel about some of the high profile cases that are not being pursued or prosecuted?”

“When I was young and single, before I had my wife and family, I was a fool, I was a fool before I lived in the light of the lord. I was a drug addict, sex addict and an imbecile,” he continued. “But what I never was a rapist. I’ve never engaged in non-consensual activity. I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes.”  He then concluded the video by thanking those who have supported him.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs faces additional sexual assault charges in new superseding indictment

SEAN "PUFF DADDY" COMBS at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. 24FEB99

Prosecutors have filed a new and third indictment against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. The additional counts relate to an individual identified as Victim-2, bringing the total number of counts facing Combs to five.

The new indictment against Combs adds an additional charge of sex trafficking and an additional charge of transportation to engage in prostitution, with Combs potentially receiving additional prison time if convicted .In addition to the extra counts, federal prosecutors updated the language of the racketeering conspiracy charge Combs faces, clarifying that “Combs kidnapped and carried and displayed a firearm to female victim, and that the defendant dangled a female victim over an apartment balcony.”

Combs’ legal team issued this response to the superseding indictment: “These are not new allegations or new accusers. These are the same individuals, former long-term girlfriends, who were involved in consensual relationships. This was their private sex life, defined by consent, not coercion.”

Combs was arrested last year after being charged in a sprawling sex trafficking indictment. He has denied all allegations and pleaded not guilty to both previous indictments. Prosecutors said the additional counts and the updated language should not affect the schedule, as they want Combs to be arraigned on the new indictment during the final pretrial conference later this month. His trial is set to start May 5.

Damiano David details debut solo album, shares video for ‘Next Summer’

Måneskin frontman Damiano David is sharing details of his forthcoming debut solo album, Funny Little Fears, dropping on May 16th.

David shared of the upcoming, 14-track LP: “I’ve always been afraid of heights, that any moment the ground breaks apart under my feet and in one second, everything’s gone. I’ve been afraid of darkness, an immensity I don’t get to see or understand, that might take me if I don’t watch my steps. I’ve been afraid of myself, asking for too much, chasing something I didn’t even know if I really wanted. And honestly sometimes I’m still scared, but I wrote myself a manual. Hope u find it helpful too. I called it Funny Little Fears.”

David recently released his latest solo single, “Next Summer,” available now via digital outlets.  David says of the new song: “At first listen, the song speaks about youthful love—an unrequited summer romance. But on a deeper level, it reveals a much larger reflection. It’s an allegory of life—how sometimes we can be prisoners of ourselves, our fears, our insecurities, our inability to change. Our failure to see the world and life from a different perspective in the crucial and defining moments of existence.”

David previously dropped the solo singles “Silverlines” and “Born with a Broken Heart,” and will launch his first solo headlining tour in November, with 33 dates across Europe, Australia, North America, South America and Asia this year.  For ticket info, head HERE.
