Get ready, Britney Spears fans!

As you most likely know, the 41-year-old pop sensation sadly has not released new music since 2020 – apart from featuring on Elton John’s new version of Tiny Dancer last year. However, there have been whispers of a musical comeback from Britney for a while. Producer Caleb Stone revealed in a since-deleted post on Instagram in June that he spent most of last year “making beats” with record producers Stargate. For what, you may ask? He claimed for an upcoming “Britney Spears album!” Of course, it’s unknown why the post was shared and then deleted. Perhaps, Britney was ready to make the big announcement yet?

But we’re now getting some more details about some potential new music she’s set to release very, very soon!! And it’s not a collaboration with Stargate! Nope. Instead, Britney is reportedly coming out with a brand new song with her friend Will.i.am!

According to The Sun on Saturday, the singer recorded a track with the Black Eyed Peas rapper, and they plan to release it later this month. OMG! A source shared with the outlet:

“Britney and Will have a huge amount of love and respect for each other and really trust each other’s musical judgment. Will has long been Britney’s No1 supporter and he wants to see her succeed. Both of them are excited to be releasing this surprise track and they know fans will love it.”

So exciting!!!

Although the source didn’t spill details on the song, supposed credits have been circulating online that it’s allegedly titled Mind Your Business. At this time, neither Britney nor Will have confirmed the project. But this duet would come more than a decade after the two collaborated on the hit track Scream & Shout. He previously hinted at working with the superstar again on Good Morning Britain last month, saying:

“We’ve done cool things together, and I’m so happy that she’s on this new journey and shining. She’s still got hurdles, but you know what, we’re all there to support her. I just love her dedication and love for music. That’s just the way it is. I love how sweet she is, and how genuine she is — shy, but fierce. And I want to see her win.”

It seems to be finally happening, you guys! Reactions? Are you ready for some new music from Britney? Let us know in the comments below!

♬ Lucky Star – Madonna

———-

There’s another update on Madonna’s condition – and don’t worry, it’s good news!

According to Page Six on Sunday, the 64-year-old pop sensation appears to be up and moving again following her health scare! Eyewitnesses saw Madonna walking around her Upper East Side neighborhood with a blonde friend on Sunday afternoon. Although the outlet didn’t include pics of the singer, their sources claimed she was wearing giant sunglasses, a wide brimmed hat, Nike sneakers, red lipstick, and her hair in braided ponytails during the outing.

They also shared that Madonna seemed to have “no trouble walking.” However, she did take her time and had to lean “somewhat heavily” against a lamppost while waiting to cross the street at East 80th Street and Lexington Avenue. Despite that, the insiders insisted she appeared “happy,” as she strolled around and chatted with her pal.

Related: Inside Madonna’s Gruel Tour Rehearsal Schedule That Landed Her In Hospital

That is amazing news! Last we heard, Rosie O’Donnell shared with commenters on Instagram that her longtime friend was “recovering at home,” and “she is very strong in general.” So it sounds like Madonna’s made some positive strides in her recovery journey!

As we’ve been reporting, the Like a Virgin songstress was rushed to the hospital in New York City after she was found unresponsive at her home on June 24. Her longtime manager, Guy Oseary, revealed that she “developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several day stay in the ICU.” She allegedly was intubated for roughly one night before having it removed. Sources also told Page Six she was alert by the next day.

However, there’s been a ton of speculation about her condition since the news broke. The whispers of what happened have only increased online since Madonna has yet to speak out. Insiders have claimed that she was sick for several weeks and never sought treatment before hospitalization. Later, a shocking report came out from Radar Online that she had to be revived with Narcan – not because of an overdose, but because she allegedly suffered from septic shock. But experts remain a bit skeptical of that report.

No matter what’s going on – the report about her being out and about is a great sign that she’s improving, especially since her family were “preparing for the worst” at one point! We continue to wish Madonna well through her recovery. Reactions, Perezcious reader? Let us know in the comments below.

This is getting out of hand.

As you no doubt know, there has been a trend recently of performers getting pelted with objects while on stage over the past few weeks. Last month, Bebe Rexha was hit in the eye with a cell phone and got a massive shiner during her show in New York City. The person who threw the device was arrested and admitted he thought it “would be funny.” There’s absolutely nothing funny about throwing an item at someone and injuring them. Then, someone stormed the stage and slapped Ava Max during a show. Kelsea Ballerini was also hit in the eye with a bracelet. Awful. Sadly, so many others have joined the list of celebs getting objects hurled at them during a concert! And now, Harry Styles is the latest victim of this terrible trend.

During his concert in Vienna on Saturday night, the 29-year-old singer was walking across the stage in between songs when suddenly an unknown object hit him directly in his left eye. Ouch! Videos captured by fans of the incident showed Harry visibly in pain, as he winced, covered his face with his hands, and doubled over. However, the As It Was artist seemed to push through it and continued to walk off-stage. You can see the moment (below):

Ugh. Stop throwing things on stage! It’s super dangerous, and no artist deserves to be treated this way. And we’re not the only ones sick of this trend!

Following the incident with Harry, people have taken to social media to say enough is enough already with throwing objects at celebrities on stage. And many pointed out that if this trend continues, they fear the way everyone gets to experience concerts will change or phones will be banned moving forward. See the reactions (below):

“Why do people keep doing this, paying money for front row just to do this too. I’m tired of y’all.”

“This object throwing culture is about to kill how we experience concerts & festivals moving forward. They’re about to get more expensive and more exclusive.”

“I genuinely don’t understand like I get throwing stuff on the stage where they’ll see it but they always aim for the face like why???”

“The fact that this seems like a ‘trend’ now is infuriating. Y’all are gunna take away live music from the people who actually care about the performers well being.”

“people need to stop throwing things and respect artists, like it’s getting tiring”

“this is happening so often they are eventually going to ban you from taking anything inside or ban concerts in general”

“I had my recording on when something hit harry today in the eyes. This is disgusting and disrespectful, i really hope he‘s ok #LoveOnTourVienna #HSLOT #vienna #harrystyles

“y’all not going to be f**king with Harry styles now…y’all losing your damn minds!!! WTH is the world coming to where entertainers being assaulted….trying to entertain people….you buy tickets to assault stars? Like is this a new era of crazy……!!!! People are really losing there minds. Stars are going to stop doing concerts because people are really CRAZY out here!”

As we said before, this needs to stop already. Reactions to the latest incident, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.

Kyle Richards wants to make one thing clear to everyone amid her marriage troubles with Mauricio Umansky: She is NOT having an affair with Morgan Wade!

As you know, news broke this week that the longtime couple separated after 27 years together. It came as a shock to fans, who took to social media to speculate about what went wrong. However, Kyle and Mauricio shut down the divorce rumors in a joint statement – although they claimed it was “the most challenging” year of their marriage. Since they didn’t give any details about the reason why they had a “rough year,” people began to drum up some theories as to what happened. The number one speculation that ran rampant on social media? That Kyle was cheating on Mauricio with Morgan.

Related: Why Kyle Posted Then Deleted Message About ‘Sorrow’ Amid Marriage Troubles!

The evidence? Fans discovered that while the 54-year-old reality star stopped posting about her real estate agent hubby, she was sharing more and more pictures of herself and the country music star. They even attend red carpet-events together. And there’s more! The two also had matching heart tattoos and matching rings. Even Morgan’s ex-girlfriend, Kady Cannon, was suspicious about the close bond between the musician and Kyle!

Given these details, many were convinced infidelity was the cause of Kyle and Mauricio’s marriage troubles! Now, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is setting the record straight.

While Kyle was attempting to take off in her black Range Rover on Friday night, she was approached by paparazzi, who asked her a bunch of questions about her current situation. Per a video obtained by Page Six, a videographer asked about the nature of her relationship with Morgan, to which she responded:

“We are very good friends.”

But that person wasn’t satisfied with her answer! When someone asked if the affair with the 28-year-old singer was “just a rumor,” she bluntly said, “Yes.” However, the paps weren’t backing down, questioning her about their matching tattoos. Pointing to her best friend and former co-star Teddi Mellencamp in the passenger seat, she replied:

“We have matching tattoos, too. [Wade’s] not the only one I have a matching tattoo with.”

So there you have it. They are just very close friends, at least so says Kyle! Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below!

Did Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef have an open relationship???

For those who haven’t heard, the pair announced on Instagram this week that they’ve decided to go their separate ways after six years of marriage. They wrote in a joint statement to fans:

“For some time, we have considered transforming our relationship, and it is after careful consideration that we have decided to end our marriage with love, respect and dignity for our children — preserving and honoring what we have experienced as a couple all these wonderful years. Our greatest desire now is to continue having a healthy family dynamic and a relationship centered on genuine friendship as we continue the joint upbringing of our children. As always, we thank you for all the love and support we received throughout our marriage. We are united in nurturing this new chapter of our lives.”

Related: Kim Zolciak & Kroy Biermann Did NOT Have An Open Marriage Despite Rumors!

The reason for this sudden split? In a divorce petition filed by Ricky on Wednesday and obtained by People, he listed the old catch-all: “irreconcilable differences.” Hmm. He requested joint custody of their 4-year-old daughter Lucia and 3-year-old son Renn. The 51-year-old singer also agreed to pay spousal support to Jwan, in addition to his attorney fees. However, he has “yet to determine the full nature and extent of the separate property assets and obligations of each party” based on their prenup. It seems like Ricky is determined to make sure this divorce moves forward amicably – though we’ll have to see if that continues since not all of the details are hashed out yet.

Nevertheless, the divorce news came as a complete shock to fans. It seemed out of the blue, even to us! But apparently, those in Jwan and Ricky’s inner circle weren’t caught off guard by the split at all as they’ve known the former couple been “having relationship issues for two years now.” Oof. What were those problems within their marriage? Well, details weren’t given at the time.

However, a new report from Dailymail.com on Friday dropped a bombshell claim about Ricky and Jwan. An insider described as a close friend of the Livin’ La Vida Loca artist revealed that they were in an open marriage! They said:

“Like many couples, Ricky and Jwan had an open relationship for most of their marriage. This worked for them, until it didn’t.”

Wait, so was this the real reason for the divorce?! Not quite. The source made it clear to the outlet that no one fell for anyone else nor was the alleged arrangement remotely the cause of their marriage problems, explaining:

“Neither of them fell in love with someone else. Sex was something they engaged in together and separate with other partners. In the end, they decided that it was best for them, their well-being and for their kids if they end it amicably.”

Neither Ricky nor Jwan has addressed the report at this time. But the actor has been vocal about normalizing open relationships while discussing his role as Antonio D’Amico in The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story during a 2018 interview with Vulture.

What do YOU think about the new report? Are you buying the claim Ricky and Jwan were in an open marriage? Let us know in the comments below!

Taylor Swift reunited with some very familiar faces!

On Friday night, the 33-year-old singer had some tricks up her sleeves and surprised the audience at the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City with a very special guest. Who? None other than the man who inspired her song Back To December, her ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner!! He was also joined on stage by Joey King and Presley Cash, who starred in the Mean music video back in 2011. Love it! Speak Now OGs! The Sparks Fly songstress gushed about Lautner while introducing him to everyone:

“He was a very positive force in my life when I was making the ‘Speak Now’ album, and I want to say he did every single stunt that you saw in that music video. He and his wife have become some of my closest friends, and it’s very convenient because we all have the same first name. TayTay, do you wanna come out?”

At that moment, the crowd went wild and erupted into cheers as the Twilight alum went on stage to join Taylor, even doing a cartwheel and back flip along the way. After hugging, he also offered up some kind words for the hitmaker, saying:

“I just want to say one thing quick. I respect you so much. Not just for the singer you are, the songwriter, the performer — but truly for the human you are. You are gracious, humble, kind and I’m honored to know you, so thank you for having me be a part of this and being a part of my life.”

It’s awesome to see these two are on such good terms!!! See the sweet moment below:

So why was the trio joining Taylor onstage? Well, it turns out they starred together in a brand new music video for the Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) vault track I Can See You, which debuted at the concert!!! In the new video, the three actors helped Taylor with a massive heist to break free from a literal vault and take back her album Speak Now. It’s an action-packed video, full of fight scenes and obviously tons of easter eggs (some potentially teasing 1989 as the next re-release?!!) You have to ch-ch-check the music video, directed by Taylor, out for yourself below:

AH-MAZING!!!

For those who didn’t get to experience this iconic moment live, Taylor also took to social media to celebrate the music video, dropping some behind-the-scenes pictures from the set. One pic featured an iconic image of Taylor, Lautner, and his wife recreating the iconic Spider-Man meme. Swipe to see:

John Mayer is really hoping Taylor Swift‘s fans are forgiving!

Just like his ex-girlfriend, the Gravity hitmaker is sending a message to Swifties. On Thursday, he took to Instagram to show off some cool snapshots of his Boulder, Colorado shows with his band Dead & Company — but amid the carousel some eagle-eyed fans spotted what appears to be a not-so-subtle plea for mercy.

Related: Swifties React To Taylor Changing That ‘Slut-Shaming’ Line!

On the very night of the Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) release, John posted a photo of drones spelling out “please be kind” above his band’s stage on the sixth slide. On top of that, the caption read:

“It doesn’t get better than three nights at Folsom Field in Boulder with @deadandcompany. Oh wait no yes it does… it gets way better when Dave Matthews (@davematthewsband) shows up and for four songs makes everyone believe they’re dreaming. The afterglow is still shining bright…”

Ch-ch-check out the post (below):

Obviously it’s a universal message that applies at all times… but the timing was too much for Swifties to ignore!

The 45-year-old’s comments were quickly flooded with T-Swizzle fans who gave their opinion on the photo, writing:

“YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID WITH THAT CAPTION. “idk how it gets better than this” AND “afterglow” LIKE WHAT?!”

“mother said not to be mean…mother aint here right now.”

“funny your cover is purple. you’re shunned from that color, speak never john.”

“Bye bye johnny. It‘s July 7. Its over.”

“dont you think she was too young to be messed with?”

“now go stand in the corner and think about what you did.”

One fan seemed to try and warn him about the impending Swifties, posting:

“Run John, they’re coming”

LOLz!!

Dear John (Taylor’s Version) is officially out now! So, Perezcious readers, do you think he’s …Ready For It?

Taylor Swift has had some time to stand in the corner and think about what she did — and it resulted in a major change!

On Friday, the pop star released the highly anticipated re-recording of her third album, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). Alongside six new “Vault” tracks, there was also somethin’ new about one of the album’s most infamous songs, Better Than Revenge. As we told you in our exclusive sneak peek yesterday, it got a whole makeover. To recap, here’s how it breaks down.

In the track, which originally dropped in 2010, Taylor used to sing:

“She’s an actress, whoa / but she’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress, whoa”

Oof! The song was rumored to be about the Taylor’s ex Joe Jonas and actress Camilla Belle, who starred in the Jonas Brothers‘ music video for Lovebug. It was viewed as harsh even at the time, and ever since it’s been largely criticized as “slut-shaming”.

Taylor even seemed to admit her regret years later when she told The Guardian in 2014:

“I was 18 when I wrote that. That’s the age you are when you think someone can actually take your boyfriend. Then you grow up and realize no one can take someone from you if they don’t want to leave.”

So much maturity in just a few years! Now, cut to the year 2023 and she’s finally done something about it. In the new version of the rock song, T-Swift now belts:

“He was a moth to the flame / she was holding the matches.”

Wow!

A VERY different vibe, no?! And now you can listen and see what YOU think of the change here:

Whattaya think, Swifties??

While the Grammy winner hasn’t addressed the lyric change yet, her fans have had LOTS to say about it! And frankly, feelings are mixed. While some are happy about it, others aren’t into the whole “special edition” rewriting of history thing! Take a look:

“We just have to bully her into releasing Better Than Revenge (Taylor’s Version) (Slut Shaming Version) like she did with lana and snow on the beach”

“Better Than Revenge has the same lyrics if you just scream over her”

“ITS SM BETTER IM SO PROUD OF HER FOR CHANGING IT”

“scooter won this round”

“and it still eats so idrc”

There have been think pieces for years debating the consequences of retroactively changing, especially trying to sanitize, art, even with the best of intentions. So this debate is going deep — and is unlikely to end with Taylor’s Version! What are your thoughts?! Sound OFF (below)!
