SINGER-SONGWRITER NOAH KAHAN DROPPED HIS FOURTH ALBUM LAST FRIDAY, AND RELEASED THE DELUXE VERSION LATER THAT SAME DAY. CALLED THE GREAT DIVIDE, IT DEALS WITH HOW SUCCESS HAS IMPACTED KAHAN’S RELATIONSHIPS. THE ALBUM IS ACCOMPANIED BY A NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY WHICH WAS RELEASED TWO WEEKS AGO.
A MICHAEL JACKSON BIOPIC TITLED MICHAEL WAS RELEASED OVER THE WEEKEND. IT HAS GROSSED 97 MILLION DOLLARS IN THE US AND 217 MILLION WORLDWIDE, SHATTERING RECORDS FOR HIGHEST DOMESTIC OPENING FOR A BIOPIC AND HIGHEST GLOBAL OPENING OF A MUSIC BIOPIC. ALTHOUGH CRITICS HAVE PANNED THE MOVIE FOR ITS LACK OF DEPTH, IT HAS RECEIVED A 97% AUDIENCE APPROVAL RATING ON ROTTEN TOMATOES.
AND MEGAN THEE STALLION HAS SPLIT FROM DALLAS MAVERICKS PLAYER KLAY THOMPSON OVER HIS ALLEGED INFIDELITY. THE RAPPER SAID IN A NOW-DELETED INSTAGRAM POST THAT THOMPSON GOT “COLD FEET” AND ACCUSED HIM OF MISTREATMENT. A FEW HOURS LATER, SHE PERFORMED IN MOULIN ROUGE ON BROADWAY, AND WAS MOVED TO TEARS AT CURTAIN CALL.
