Ed Sheeran says he will never headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show on his own. While speaking to Andy Cohen on the latter’s Deep & Shallow Podcast on SiriusXM, the “Thinking Out Loud” singer revealed why he has no plans to perform at the Halftime Show in the future — at least, not by himself.

Fans called it: Gwen Stefani was Blake Shelton‘s star guest at the free pop-up show he played at the Tishomingo, Okla. location of his Ole Red bar and music video on Friday night (Aug. 11.) But that’s not all. It was a special night for the whole family, as the oldest of Stefani’s three sons

Interview and Photos by Jordan Edwards If Chad Tepper looks like he’s in a good mood, he probably is. He just released his debut album, he’s been working with some of his childhood rock idols, and he’s found his life partner. Released on August 11 on Epitaph, Never Stood a Chance is a throwback to

Say goodbye to friendship bracelets. Jonas Brothers fans have a new trend for their Five Albums. One Night tour: friendship purity rings. The tongue-in-cheek beaded rings are a reference to the brothers’ infamous purity rings, which they wore in their Disney Channel days. Throughout her massive Eras Tour, Taylor Swift fans have also made it

Morgan Wallen just beat Harry Styles‘ Billboard Hot 100 record. “Last Night,” the controversial country singer’s single, is officially the longest-running song by a solo artist to remain at No. 1 on the famous music chart. Styles’ “As It Was,” which was Spotify’s most-streamed song of 2022, previously held the title at No. 1 for 15 weeks.

Former Sorb3t idol Berry-Chan is back after the group’s disbandment, and this time, she’s going solo with a brand new call and response following the viral backlash from the group’s call and response video on TikTok.

We are officially approaching the middle of August already. How is the summer flying by that fast that it feels like every week I’m discussing a new season approaching?

Interview and Photos by Jordan Edwards In March 2022, Leah Kate released “10 Things I Hate About You.” By summer, it was receiving radio play, and crowds were screaming the words back at her during shows.

There’s no couple doing it quite like Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, who used their powers for good and combined forces to become the ultimate power couple. After a long-lasting friendship and professional relationship, the two made it official in 2020 and have been serving looks and goals ever since. In January 2022, Rihanna debuted her

Seeing double! Little Richard: I Am Everything filmmaker Lisa Cortes claims that James Brown would sometimes act as a stand-in for Little Richard. “Little Richard would get so busy that he had no time to fulfill all his gigs, so his protégé James Brown would dress up like him and take his gigs,” the Oscar-nominated Cortes
