See Tyla’s video for ‘Bliss’

Tyla on the fifth day of Rock in Rio 40 years in the city of Rock. Rio de Janeiro^ Rio de Janeiro^ Brasil September 20

Tyla has released her brand new single ‘Bliss‘, produced by Nolan Lambroza, Dylan Wiggins, and NovaWav. Tyla first previewed the song at Coachella and performed it at NYC’s Governors Ball. During her debut appearance at Coachella, Tyla also revealed a collaboration with the upscale grocery brand Erewhon: the “Bliss” smoothie. Proceeds gained from the smoothie will go towards 18twenty8 — a charity focused on empowering young women in South Africa through support for education initiatives and personal development.

In addition, Tyla shared the video for ‘Bliss,’ writing on Instagram: For the drama, for the plot… ‘Bliss’ music video out now.”. The video opens with Tyla standing in an apparent desert, with an explosion in the background.

Tyla recently joined Blackpink member Lisa for the song “When I’m With You”; her self-titled debut album was the highest charting for an African female soloist in Billboard 200 history; and her triple-platinum single ‘Water’ helped the singer achieve the same feat on the Billboard Hot 100. Tyla shares of her success:  “I’ve changed a lot in a short amount of time because I was kind of forced to – with how fast I had to adapt to everything. I don’t think it’s going to be the same energy at all, especially with what I’ve started making. It’s different, but also still Tyla.”

Naomi Watts arrives for the G'Day USA Gala on January 25^ 2020 in Beverly Hills^ CA

The leads for Ryan Murphy’s upcoming American Love Story anthology series, a spinoff from his larger American Story franchise on FX, have been revealed.

Entertainment writer Evan Ross Katz revealed on Instagram that Naomi Watts will portray former First Lady Jackie Kennedy, while newcomer Paul Kelly will step into the role of her son, John F. Kennedy Jr.  It was previously announced that Sarah Pidgeon will portray Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, JFK Jr.’s wife.

American Love Story will chronicle the passionate relationship and eventual marriage of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy – the anthology series aims to explore iconic love stories that once captivated the public and media worldwide. Kennedy Jr. and Bessette-Kennedy were often seen as ‘American Royalty’ in the 1990s; Carolyn worked as a publicist for Calvin Klein, and the couple became darlings of the celebrity press. Tragically, their lives were cut short in 1999 when JFK Jr.’s private plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near Massachusetts. The couple, as well as Carolyn’s sister Lauren Bessette, were killed in the crash.. Kennedy was 38 at the time of his death, and Carolyn was 33.

Murphy unveiled the first images for ‘American Love Story’, offering a look at actors Kelly and Pidgeon as the famous couple. Posted by the Ryan Murphy Productions Instagram account, the photos show the two stars capturing the iconic couple’s style and presence, along with the caption: “FIRST LOOK! Here are some stills from our LOVE STORY camera test. We started shooting this week in New York City and can’t wait until you see the romantic and tragic love story between America’s prince, JFK Jr., and fashion icon Carolyn Bessette—out Valentine’s Day week of 2026 (sic). I am thrilled to introduce you to Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn and Paul Kelly as John F. Kennedy Jr. Over a thousand actors auditioned for each of these roles, and we absolutely found the perfect choices. Congratulations Sarah and Paul!”

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere also features Jeremy Strong as Springsteen’s long-time confidant and manager, Jon Landau; Paul Walter Hauser as guitar tech Mike Batlan; Stephen Graham as Springsteen’s father, Doug, Odessa Young as love interest, Faye; Gaby Hoffman as Springsteen’s mom, Adele; Marc Maron as Chuck Plotkin and David Krumholtz as Columbia executive, Al Teller.

Professional wrestling legend Hulk Hogan dies at age 71

Hulk Hogan at the Republican National Convention. Milwaukee^ Wisconsin - July 18^ 2024

Wrestling legend Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea died on Thursday at the age of 71. News of Hogan’s passing was first reported by news outlet TMZ.

According to the Clearwater Fire and Police Departments, a 911 call was made for a person in possible cardiac arrest at Hogan’s Clearwater Beach home. Hogan was treated by fire and rescue crews before being transported to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.  During a news conference Thursday afternoon, Clearwater Police Maj. Nate Burnside said Hulk died at 11:17 AM, adding that there are “no signs of foul play or suspicious activity.”

Hogan’s professional wrestling career began in the late 1970s, but his huge popularity began in the mid-1980s when he helped Vince McMahon turn the WWE (then WWF) into a national brand, and eventually a multi-billion-dollar company. Hogan kickstarted the pop culture phenomenon with “Hulkamania” after defeating the Iron Sheik for the World Heavyweight Championship in 1984, with his signature bandana and handlebar mustache often copied by fans.

Hogan also had a successful movie career, beginning in 1982 with “Rocky III’” he also starred in the films “No Holds Barred,” “Suburban Commando” and “Mr. Nanny.”  In 2006, he starred for two seasons in the hit VH1 reality show, “Hogan Knows Best,” with his family:  then-wife, Linda, and children Nick and Brooke.

Hulk was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005, but was removed in 2015 after a scandal erupted over racist comments he made while being secretly recorded.  After winning a lawsuit against Gawker who published the recording, Hulk was inducted a second time in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2020 as a member of NWO (New World Order). The WWE posted on X: ‘WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away. One of pop culture’s most recognizable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s. WWE extends its condolences to Hogan’s family, friends, and fans.’

One of Hogan’s biggest wrestling rivals, Ric Flair (who was one of his closest friends outside the ring), posted on X: “I Am Absolutely Shocked To Hear About The Passing Of My Close Friend @HulkHogan! Hulk Has Been By My Side Since We Started In The Wrestling Business. An Incredible Athlete, Talent, Friend, And Father! Our Friendship Has Meant The World To Me. He Was Always There For Me Even When I Didn’t Ask For Him To Be. He Was One Of The First To Visit Me When I Was In The Hospital With A 2% Chance Of Living, And He Prayed By My Bedside. Hulk Also Lent Me Money When Reid Was Sick. Hulkster, No One Will Ever Compare To You! Rest In Peace My Friend! 🙏🏻”

Hogan is survived by his third wife, Sky Daily, and two children, Brooke and Nick.
