Meanwhile, gymnast Simone Biles stunned everyone with her performance, with Cruise left in absolute awe of the athlete’s abilities. Given Cruise’s penchant for performing difficult stunts on the big screen, it certainly took a legendary performance to sweep the actor off his feet, and here is how Biles did exactly that.

The love for Kamala Harris continues, with John Legend actively supporting her presidential bid.

Ariana Grande has often expressed her love of sports, surprising many with her interests beyond music. Growing up in Boca Raton, Florida, she loved the Florida Panthers, even singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at one of the NHL team’s games in 2002 (she was 8). Grande has been spotted at many major sporting events, including the Panthers’ appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals. So it’s no surprise she’s attending the Summer Olympics in Paris.

Grande flew to Paris with her older half-brother, Frankie Grande, to witness the Olympics in person. Cameras spotted her at Bercy Arena, an indoor sports arena in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. The “The Boy Is Mine” singer chose a stunning white ensemble to watch Day 2 of the Artistic Gymnastics Women’s Qualification.

Gold medals aren’t the only thing glittering in Paris.

Stars have flocked to France to catch the Olympics live and in person in the first few day of the international competition. Lady Gaga, fresh from performing “Mon Truc en Plumes” while dressed in Dior during the opening ceremony, cheered on superstar Simone Biles and the USA women’s gymnastics team from inside Bercy Arena where Tom Cruise, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Greta Gerwig, Baz Luhrmann, Jessica Chastain, Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Nick Jonas, Anna Wintour, Snoop Dogg, Lena Waithe, Jon M. Chu and Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav also caught the flips, tumbles and balance beam action.

Outside of the tournaments, one of the main attractions is the 30-meter-high Olympic cauldron, with a seven-meter diameter ring of fire.

That’s absolutely sexist,” Kesha said, adding that she plans to support Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.

Vance, 39, faced renewed criticism this week after a 2021 Fox News interview resurfaced online. In the clip, the Hillbilly Elegy author questioned how politicians like Harris and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could shape the Democratic Party’s future without having children of their own.

Celine Dion’s performance at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony was heartwarming for many reasons.

This year saw the superstar open up about her health challenges and her slow journey to recovery after being diagnosed with the rare neurological disorder Stiff Person Syndrome.

According to her, the most painful part of her journey was the idea that she may never get to perform again if all doesn’t go right.

She also had to fight to get her voice back and described singing then as a painful experience. So it was with great pleasure that millions around the world watched Celine Dion perform live for the first time in a very long time.

A number of celebrities were in the crowd to cheer on Simone Biles, including pop queen Lady Gaga.

Katy Perry‘s “Woman’s World” has been thoroughly trashed online. Some even see it as the California Gurl‘s worst single. Is that true? And what makes it so much different from other female empowerment songs?

Katy Perry’s ‘Woman’s World’ takes an old approach that doesn’t seem to be working

Perry’s discography has some dud singles. “Ur So Gay,” “Swish Swish,” “Bon Appétit,” and “Rise” are all bad songs. At the very least, they have some musical flavor. “Woman’s World,” on the other hand, has a generic dance-pop beat that wouldn’t impress even the most die-hard clubbers. It feels like a lazy cop-out at a time when Perry needs to be writing some of her best work to get back in the spotlight.

Erivo, also in a 1950s-esque gown, dazzled in her character Elphaba’s signature emerald color. The Tony Award-winning actress, styled by THR Power Stylist Jason Bolden, wore a strapless dress with an angular skirt. Erivo added a dramatic flair to the outfit with a matching wide-brim hat. Unlike her co-star, she opted to skip gloves and instead color-coordinated her long, intricately decorated nails.

Lady Gaga was one of the biggest stars of the late 2000s and early 2010s, so it’s no surprise she racked up a few No. 1 songs. Some of her biggest tracks didn’t manage to top the charts. Here’s a look at all five of her no. 1 singles, from the basic to the great.

“Born This Way” has a great message, encouraging the LGBTQ community, people of color, and people with disabilities to take pride in their identities. If only that message was delivered in a better musical package. The buzzing production of “Born This Way” is annoying, and it paved the way for Gaga’s overproduced flop Artpop.

“Born This Way” garnered controversy for its similarities to Madonna’s “Express Yourself.” That controversy will hang over both songs until the end of time, which makes it harder to appreciate them. “Born This Way” was No.

The phrase “If U Seek Amy” doesn’t mean anything. It doesn’t make sense in the context of the song. It only makes sense if you say it fast. The line is supposed to sound like Spears is spelling out “f*** me.” It’s the sort of naughty novelty song that goes over well in middle schools.

And that’s precisely why it was a bad idea in the first place.

The music world, like the entirety of the United States, was stunned to learn of President Joe Biden’s decision to not seek re-election Sunday, with many artists turning to social media immediately after to thank Biden for his service and his decision, or throw their support behind Vice President Kamala Harris.

Cher was among those conflicted by Biden’s decision, saying she “loved” Joe while also recognizing he was unlikely to defeat Donald Trump come Election Day. “In my heart I’m tortured, because I don’t believe the...

Hollywood reacted to Biden’s announcement that he will halt his re-election campaign and endorse Kamala Harris for president on Sunday. Many, including names such as Barbra Streisand, Lee Daniels, the Clintons and the Obamas, celebrated Biden’s decision as a heroic and selfless move for the country. Several politicians, including the Clintons and Elizabeth Warren, and those in Hollywood alike, including Shonda Rhimes and Damon Lindelof, also endorsed Harris.

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden wrote.

In a follow-up message, Biden explicitly endorsed Harris to take his place at the top of the ticket. “Democrats...

Ariel Winter had everyone saying the same thing as she stunned in a crisp white, spaghetti-strap dress back in 2018. Showing up to the #GirlHero Awards in L.A., the 26-year-old dazzled the cameras in her slinky number, going braless in thin straps and getting told it was the "classiest" look she'd worn to date. At the time, the Modern Family series Ariel found stardom on was still airing, but this was no Alex Dunphy look. Sizzling in her high heels as she wore a sleek ponytail, Ariel received compliments all around, including one noting that she looked "very classy."

Sean Kingston, who had a No. 1 hit in 2007 with Beautiful Girls and has collaborated with Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, was indicted in Miami federal court today along with his mother. Both were and charged with participating in a $1 million wire fraud scheme.

If convicted, they could face up to 20 years in prison on each of six counts.

They were charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and five counts of wire fraud charges. The action stemmed from their alleged attempt to defraud sellers of high-end specialty vehicles, jewelry, and other goods purchased via fraudulent documents.

The United States Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of Florida stated that the defendants “unjustly enriched themselves by falsely representing that they had executed bank wire or other monetary payment transfers.”

The alleged scheme involved making payments through banks that never actually went through, resulting in them accruing an excess of $1 million in property.

Brandy Norwood is having quite a year, which includes returning as Cinderella more than two decades after first playing the role for Disney.

Norwood starred as the storybook heroine for ABC’s 1997 television movie Cinderella, opposite Paolo Montalban as Prince Charming. The pair is back to reprise their characters in Descendants: The Rise of the Red, which is currently streaming on Disney+ and is set to debut on the Disney Channel on Aug. 9.

“We’re so honored, so blessed, so excited,” Norwood tells The Hollywood Reporter about reuniting with Montalban. “This is such a magical experience to be able to work with Paolo again, to waltz with him, to sing with him — all of it.”

The new film is the fourth installment in the Disney Channel-produced Descendants franchise that first launched in 2015. Descendants: The Rise of Red centers on Red (Kylie Cantrall), the daughter of the Queen of Hearts (Rita Ora), and Chloe,...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s 2018 wedding was watched by millions around the world – even Ariana Grande made a joke about it at the time. It was an exciting moment for so many, who viewed them as Grace Kelly and Prince of Monaco for the new age.

However, they came with a lot of baggage and whining that simply turned people off their brand. An American royal commentator is now explaining how they lost their charm.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Turned Americans Off With Their Complaints

They did the Oprah tell-all, there was the Apple docuseries ‘The Me You Can’t See’ where Harry talked of being trapped and generational pain, there was the ‘Harry and Meghan’ Netflix docuseries, and if all that weren’t enough, there was the memoir ‘Spare.’

According to American writer Lee Cohen, all this and more helped to disillusion the Americans from the idea that...

At the most recent Oscars, Emma Stone became the lucky 13th winner of two Best Actress awards when she picked up the prize for “Poor Things”; she had prevailed seven years earlier for “La La Land.” When she won back then Stone was 28 and joined the ranks of 31 other winners in their 20s. Another 35, including Stone the second time around, have been thirtysomething when they took to the stage to collect their Oscars.

Bracketing Stone’s two wins were women who defied this bias toward youth: 60-year-old Michelle Yeoh (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”); 45-year old Jessica Chastain (“The Eyes of Tammy Faye”); double champ Frances McDormand (who was 60 and 63 when she won for “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” and “Nomadland” respectively), 45-year-old Olivia Colman (“The Favourite”) and 50-year-old Renee Zellweger (“Judy”).
