Pop star Meghan Trainor has credited TV host Carson Daly with helping her explain her feelings about depression and anxiety to her family.

The All About That Bass hitmaker, who is engaged to actor Daryl Sabara, went public with her emotional battle in March (18), revealing she started feeling really low following her second vocal cord operation in 2016.

"I got mentally destroyed from my second vocal surgery," the typically-upbeat star told Billboard magazine. "I was just sad that it happened again, because they (experts) tell you, 'You won't deal with this ever again', and then it did.

"I had to crawl out of that anxiety and that dark place, but now I'm so happy. Daryl brought me back."

However, it wasn't as easy for Meghan to relay her struggles to members of her family, until she saw The Voice presenter Carson detail his lifelong anxiety issues in a candid chat on breakfast show Today.

"He'll never know how much his video helped me - and my family," she shared. "I played that for them and I was like, 'That's how I was feeling.' I just couldn't say it. It's hard to explain."

"Carson's struggle sounded awfully familiar," she continued. "It's the most confusing, frustrating thing ever because you're just trapped in it until you can figure it out."

Meghan has since had the opportunity to thank Carson in person for unknowingly helping her better articulate her emotional issues.

"I went up to him and I was like, 'You don't know what you've done for me, but it was amazing!'" she recalled.

Bebe Rexha was "annoyed" when people accused her of criticising Rihanna's voice on The Monster.

The singer/songwriter hit headlines last year (17) when she reportedly told fans at a concert that Rihanna "couldn't sing the high notes" in the Eminem that Rexha co-wrote and provided background vocals for, but the 28-year-old star has dismissed chatter about a beef between her and the Umbrella singer, insisting her words were taken out of context. 

"Yeah because I did sing that part and somebody spun it out to being, 'She said Rihanna can't sing those high notes'," she told U.S. chat show Watch What Happens Live! on Monday (25Jun18). "I'm like, 'That's so annoying'. You can't say anything on the internet these days.

"Everybody takes everything to the extreme and blows it out of proportion. I say that people have nothing to do with their lives and they're bored and just want to start drama. They're called internet trolls and I don't have time for that."

Bebe recently performed the track with Eminem at the Coachella Music Festival earlier this year (18), while Rihanna was in the audience. Rexha did not get to meet with the Umbrella hitmaker after her performance, but she is eager to.

"I've honestly never really met her," she said. "I met Eminem just recently at Coachella. He flew me, my mom, and my dad out on a little private jet. We were scared to death because we've never done that before..., but he was awesome and hopefully I'll get to meet Rihanna."

Singer Camila Cabello cozied up to new beau Matthew Hussey on the beach in Barcelona, Spain on Tuesday (25Jun18).

The 21-year-old and the author and dating coach were photographed kissing and laughing while the Havana hitmaker sat in Hussey's lap. 

The former Fifth Harmony member enjoyed the romantic getaway during a break from performing as part of Taylor Swift's Reputation stadium tour. 

According to E! News, Cabello arrived in the Spanish city on Monday (24Jun18) along with the 31 year old, her mother and younger sister. 

The singer has yet to address the romance rumours that now seem obvious, and during an interview with The Dan Wootton Interview podcast in March, she made it clear she wasn't going to talk about her relationship with Hussey, explaining she was determined not to share the details of her personal life. 

"I am really, really happy. I feel like I've never been happier," she said. "I have always been such a private person and the one thing that has been, I think, the hardest thing about this industry has been letting go of that privacy. I feel, like, for my sanity and for the sanity of the people I care about, you gotta keep some things sacred. I need to keep some things mine for them to be special and just to protect that."

The Havana singer was first linked to the relationship expert, who is most famous for his Cosmopolitan magazine dating column and bestselling books, in early February (18), when they were caught kissing on a beach in Mexico. The pair was also spotted walking through Los Angeles International Airport holding hands weeks later.

After the photos emerged online, an interview she gave to U.S. radio host Elvis Duran in January (18) resurfaced - as she had mentioned Matthew in it.

Towards the end of the chat, the former Fifty Harmony star asked Elvis if previous guest Hussey was still in the building, adding, "I love him. He's great. He gives good advice."

Rapper Meek Mill has been denied a new trial by the judge who locked him up last year (17).

Meek, real name Robert Rihmeek Williams, was released from prison in Pennsylvania in April (18) after serving five months for probation violations linked to an arrest a decade ago, and prosecutors sided with his lawyers in calling for a new trial after it was revealed the original arresting officer was involved in a massive police corruption scandal.

But Judge Genece Brinkley appears to be determined to put the rap star back behind bars, shutting down his motion for a review and a possible pardon.

In a ruling on Monday (25Jun18), Judge Brinkley said, "After an in-depth review of the record, court history, notes of testimony, and evidence submitted at the evidentiary hearing, this court hereby denies defendant's petition for PCRA relief as defendant failed to meet his burden of proof."

She claims that the jury would still have found the Stay Woke hitmaker guilty in 2008 even if the arresting officer was a dirty cop, accused of pocketing illegal cash.

The rap star's lawyers are planning to appeal the judge's latest decision, while continuing to press for her dismissal from the case.

Meanwhile, Meek has become an advocate for prison reform since his release in April, and he debuted a song containing harsh criticisms of the U.S. justice system at the BET Awards on Sunday (24Jun18).

He rapped: "How can I pledge allegiance to the flag, when they killing all our sons, all our dads? I come from a place where you kill your own brother, you can brag."

The performance began on a stage made to look like a Philadelphia street corner, with children playing and residents going about their business, before actors dressed as police officers ran on and began arresting people. A young black child was 'shot' in front of a grieving mother, before performers dressed in orange jumpsuits appeared behind bars.

Pop star Mel B is "very thankful" to have emerged from her rough 10-year marriage to Stephen Belafonte "alive, happy and healthy", insisting it was a big learning curve.

The Spice Girls star split from the producer last spring (17), and subsequently became involved in a nasty legal battle with her ex as she accused him of being verbally and physically abusive towards her - allegations he denied.

Their divorce was granted in December (17), but the former couple has continued to fight in court over a variety of issues, including custody, while Mel recently won a restraining order against Belafonte amid fears for her safety.

The singer and America's Got Talent judge is planning to reveal all about the love struggles she endured behind closed doors in a forthcoming memoir, and she promises it will be a juicy read.

"My story's kinda different, because I had a 10-year marriage with a different story (behind closed doors) and a different way of dealing with that (in public)," she told breakfast show Today on Tuesday (26Jun18), as she served as a co-host. "Now I can tell the real story. You'll see in my book that's coming out very soon!"

However, instead of living with regrets, Mel has chosen to learn from that difficult period and move on as best she can.

Asked if she is doing OK, she replied, "I am but I'm not, because when you go through a marriage like I did, you either sink or you swim, and I swam out of that marriage..."

"But I'm also very thankful that I experienced what I experienced on so many different levels," Mel added, "'cause now I understand what life is a little bit more, and I understand myself a little bit more.

"But I'm glad I'm alive, I'm glad I'm happy and healthy, and my kids are all doing good (sic), so it's a process."

And the mother-of-three, full name Melanie Brown, insists she wouldn't be as strong as she is now had she not faced such personal challenges.

"People can say, 'Oh, you're so strong, you've survived this, you've survived that', (but) you're only strong because you've been at one point in your life, or many points, so vulnerable and so weak," she shared. "That's how you get your strength. I think that's a very important process."

Mel, 43, has since jumped back onto the dating scene, and single life is going well: "I love it!" she beamed.

Earlier this month (Jun18), she confirmed rumours she has a new man in her life by sharing a loved-up selfie on Instagram, adding little hearts floating around her head.

"The way he makes me laugh and smile gives me butterflies beyond belief," she captioned the image. "Everything about him makes me more than happy and grateful."

Mel stopped short of revealing the identity of her new love, but she was previously rumoured to be dating a Los Angeles police officer, while she was also linked to her hairdresser, Gary Madatyan.

Bryan Adams has insisted that he was only ever "good friends" with Princess Diana in the mid-1990s.

Speculation that the Canadian singer-songwriter dated the British royal following her split from Prince Charles in the mid-1990s re-emerged in March (18) when her butler Paul Burrell allegedly told a co-star on an Australian reality TV show that he used to sneak Bryan into Kensington Palace. 

Bryan was asked about his relationship with Diana as part of the Plead the Fifth segment during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Monday night (25Jun18) and he clarified that he was only "friends" with Diana, who died in a car accident at the age of 36 in 1997. 

"There are many rumours that you and Princess Diana were once romantically involved," Andy asked. "Her butler said that he used to sneak you into Kensington Palace. How would you characterise your relationship with Princess Diana?" 

Bryan replied, "Great friends. And she didn't sneak me in, I would just roll up." 

Andy then continued to probe Bryan on the topic and asked, "Friends with benefits?" 

To which the 58-year-old responded: "She was just ... we were good friends." 

During the chat, Andy also brought up the time Bryan gifted an "arty" photograph of his penis to Elton John. He claimed that the British music icon had kept the photo, but he'd never been tempted to pose for such a salacious snap since. 

"Where does Sir Elton, by the way, keep that?" Andy queried, to which the star said: "When I gave it to him in the frame he said, 'I'm going to change that frame.' So, now it's in a very gold frame. I think it's on his mantlepiece." 
In addition, Andy attempted to get some gossip about the celebrities Bryan's photographed over the years, with the A-list names including Amy Winehouse, Lindsay Lohan, Mickey Rourke and Queen Elizabeth II. 

But the Heaven singer shared that none of his subjects "were difficult" and, in fact, it was the publicists who were tricky to deal with. 

"More the publicists were the difficult ones. The people, usually if they walk up for a photograph, they're ready to do it," he smiled.

Cher is adamant her jukebox musical The Cher Show still "needs work".

The stage production, which features songs from Cher's back catalogue, chronicles the musician's life from childhood to pop stardom, focusing on the key men in her love life, such as former husbands Sonny Bono and Gregg Allman as well as ex-partner Robert Camilletti.

The show, which features three actresses playing Cher over different time periods, opened for previews in Chicago, Illinois earlier in June (18), and Cher checked it out over the weekend (23-24Jun18). And while the music icon admitted that the cast is very talented, she wants to see some improvements made ahead of its official opening on Thursday.

"Some parts of it are really fabulous," she told the Chicago Tribune newspaper. "We're going to work on the other parts. In many parts, it was much, much better than I thought it would be. And there were no parts where I wanted to gouge my eyes out.

"It needs work... I'm not supposed to say that but I don't care. But you know, I was really very surprised by how close to real these people feel. Some of the boys are so on the mark, it's creepy."

The 72-year-old, who admitted that she was "the most critical person who ever drew breath", mentioned scenes where she found her mind "wandering".

"There are lines in the show that sound like quotes but aren't quite right," she said. "I've been telling him (director Jason Moore) the real quotes. I have a lot to say. And I am pushing them to do three dance songs in a concert-style way at the end, a bit like they do in Mamma Mia! I think the audience would like that."

The Believe singer has also encouraged the creators to be "more truthful" about her life as she isn't afraid of how she will be portrayed in the production, admitting it's not realistic if she's shown be "a Mother Teresa."

The Cher Show is set to transfer to Broadway in New York later this year.

Nicole Kidman has paid tribute to her husband Keith Urban as the couple celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary.

The actress, who wed Keith on 25 June 2006, took to Instagram on Tuesday (26June18) to mark the occasion by sharing a montage video of their Australian nuptials.

The touching footage shows Nicole, dressed in her Balenciaga bridal gown and veil, looking into the eyes of her handsome groom before leaning in to lock lips with the country crooner.

Visuals also show Keith, 50, in a crisp white shirt and tailored suit jacket seemingly whispering sweet nothings into his wife's ear, while the A-list couple's wedding venue, the Cardinal Cerretti Chapel in the grounds of St Patrick's College in Manly, Sydney, and surrounding seaside are also captured.

"Remembering 12 years ago today at a church in Manly, Australia. Still feels like it was yesterday. I’m a lucky woman. Happy Anniversary Baby," the Big Little Lies actress wrote alongside a love heart emoji. 

Keith, who shares daughters Sunday, nine, and seven-year-old Faith with Nicole, also took to his Instagram account to celebrate the occasion, posting a candid image of himself seated at a piano as Nicole stands behind, appearing to break out into song. 

"12 years of celestial synergized soul dancing. Happy anniversary Babygirl!!! I love you SO much. - KU," he captioned the image.

In a recent interview, the Somebody Like You singer admitted the secret to his happy marriage with Nicole, 51, is being "very, very in it as a couple".

"We're very awake, very present and very in love," he added. "When it does go out of balance, we fix it quickly. We do whatever we've got to do."

Kanye West experimented with scream therapy in a bid to help boost his self-confidence.

The Stronger singer admitted his wife Kim Kardashian encouraged him to try out the unconventional therapy last year (17) as part of a staged intervention, after a series of life events - including Kim's gunpoint robbery and Kanye's hospitalisation for temporary psychosis - had left the rapper "very low".

Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Kim enlisted the help of motivational speaker and life coach Tony Robbins, who recognised Kanye's lack of self-confidence immediately, but the star has now confessed to finding the whole experience uncomfortable.

"I was so self-conscious about the nanny and the housekeeper that I didn’t want them to hear me screaming in the living room," he told The New York Times. "I think that that’s such a metaphor of something for the existence of so-called well-off people that they’re not really well-off - they won’t even scream in their own house."

Despite his reluctance, Kanye continued with the treatment, which saw him getting into a warrior pose and screaming as loudly as he could.

The remedy, also known as primal therapy, is believed to release repressed anger or frustration, but the 41-year-old says the experience didn't have the desired effects.

'I still felt self-conscious,” he sighed, adding it hadn't been an instantaneous fix. "I didn’t have my confidence back."

The dad-of-three further opened up about his reasons for considering the therapy, revealing he regularly battles with suicidal thoughts.

His comments echo the lyrics on his Ye album track I Thought About Killing You, which include the lines: “Today I thought about killing you, premeditated murder/I think about killing myself/And I, I love myself way more than I love you."

"I've thought about killing myself all the time," Kanye stated. "It's always an option. Like (comedian) Louis C.K. said: 'I flip through the manual. I weigh all the options'."

Ariana Grande has called for a ceasefire in an Instagram and Twitter "war" started among fans following her engagement to Pete Davidson.

No Tears Left to Cry singer Ariana got engaged to the Saturday Night Live comedian earlier this month (Jun18) after a whirlwind romance, and has since faced a barrage of criticism from her loyal fans, known as Arianators, questioning her decision.

But the popstar made it clear she has no time for haters after she shut down negativity towards her new beau on a recent Instagram post and pleaded with fans to put an end to the social media “war”.
In screenshots captured by fan accounts, Ariana addressed a fan who claimed a paparazzi photo of Pete swearing was aimed at her loyal following. 

“R u nuTS??????” she retorted. “The PAPS..not YOU……???? ever…??? stop w this s**t. please. forreal. i love y’all too much for this. enough w the ig (Instagram) / twitter war thing. it ends now. (sic)”

She continued: "yall r so loved. stop trying to start s**t everything is so beautiful right now. i'm over it (sic)."

Another Twitter fan pondered a lyric in Ariana's latest track, The Light is Coming which features Nicki Minaj, where she sings: “You wouldn’t let anybody speak and instead,” to which the singer assured: “It’s about people & their loud a** opinions making them deaf to others & the light."

Meanwhile, Pete took to Instagram in the early hours of Tuesday (26June18) to wish his girlfriend a happy birthday as she turned 25. 

The funnyman shared an image of a smiling Ariana on his back alongside the caption: “Happy birthday to the most precious angel on earth! you’re my favorite person that ever existed i love you sm (so much).” 

The 24-year-old added a number of emojis, including a lightning strike in recognition of the pair's shared love of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter. Ariana also uploaded videos of her birthday celebrations to her Instagram Stories, including footage of multiple small cakes with her face on them.

Drake asked Tiffany Haddish out on a date but then cancelled on her at the last minute.

The comedienne appeared as a guest on the latest episode of her Girls Trip co-star Jada Pinkett Smith's Facebook Watch series Red Table Talk and revealed that she had been texting Drake about a dinner date. 

"He was like, 'Let me take you to dinner,'" Tiffany said. "I was like, 'That sounds good' and he was like, 'OK, cool, cool we'll make it work,' right? So, I block all this time off. Like, shoot, I'm gonna get my moustache waxed, you know what I'm saying? Get my armpits waxed, got me a nice little dress."

However, the date never came to pass because Drake, 31, had to go back to Canada to be with his family. 

"Then I'm like, 'So, what time we heading out, are you sending a car, like, where we going?'" she continued. "He's like, 'Oh man, my bad, family emergency I'm in Canada right now.' And I was like 'OK! OK!' I could of made a hundred thousand dollars today. But I was trying to see what that D do, but all right, not gonna do that one."

Tiffany, who recently appeared in Drake's star-studded Nice for What music video, told Jada that she would like to find love but she doesn't have much available time following her career-making role in 2017's Girls Trip as she now has back-to-back work commitments. 

"I would like to date," the 38-year-old said. "I really don't have a lot of time for it, but when somebody asks me out on a date that I'm interested in and like hanging out with, I will clear the schedule! I will make some time!"

She also went on to share that she has a "d**k pic" book, jokingly adding: "I was doing research, so basically, I'm a scientist - a pienaltologist (sic)."

Donald Glover's manager has denied allegations suggesting the rapper/actor plagiarised his hit song This Is America.

The Atlanta star, who releases music under the stage name Childish Gambino, has come under fire on social media after Twitter users began noticing striking similarities between his recent single and a 2016 track called American Pharoah, by New York MC Jase Harley.

One fan called Glover out overnight, claiming he "stole the song" from Pharoah, after the 34-year-old delivered an impromptu performance of the tune at the BET Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night (24Jun18).

However, Glover's manager, Fam Rothstein, was quick to fire back at the accusations.

After moaning about how statements on Twitter are quickly spread "as gospel", Rothstein insisted, "This song is 3 yrs (years) old, and we have Pro Tools (sound) files to prove it."

Glover has yet to address the claims himself, but Harley has made it clear he doesn't think much of the controversy, insisting he's flattered if the star drew inspiration from his work.

Harley took to Instagram on Monday to share his thoughts on the matter, arguing the backlash shouldn't "dilute the message" of racial injustice still prevalent in American society.

Harley also insists the focus should remain on "affecting change in our communities and building equality".

Glover debuted the video for This Is America online in early May (18), hours after he hosted U.S. comedy show Saturday Night Live, and it quickly smashed all of his previous YouTube records.

The powerful promo, which tackles themes of racism, police brutality and gun violence, was watched almost one million times in an hour and picked up over 12 million views within a day of its release. It has since been viewed more than 300 million times.

Demi Lovato has got a new tattoo of the word "Free", days after revealing she had suffered a relapse in her six-year battle with sobriety.

The Confident singer took to Instagram Stories on Monday (25June18) to debut her new ink, which features the word "Free" in cursive writing on her right baby finger, with the caption: "June 22, 2018," implying that the tat is already a few days old.

In a show of solidarity, Demi's team, including her manager, assistant and security, also got the word tattooed on their fingers.

"The team that tats together stays together," the Skyscraper songstress captioned a group photo of their pinkies.
Lauren Einbinder, from management team Philymack, celebrated her new ink on Instagram, writing: "That moment when you realize you're living your dream with the people you love #free," while hairstylist Cesar Ramirez added: "Everyone deserves to speak their truth! Love is accepting someone for who they are and for who they are not! #free #Spirits."

Demi's latest tattoo comes just days after she revealed she had broken her sobriety after six years in her new song Sober, which was released last Thursday alongside a lyric video.

In the ballad, the 25-year-old sings: "Mama, I'm so sorry I'm not sober anymore / And Daddy please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor / To the ones who never left me / We've been down this road before I'm so sorry, I'm not sober anymore."

Breaking her silence following the confession, the star shared her emotional first performance of the track at music festival Rock in Rio in Portugal on Sunday.

Sharing a clip of her performance, the Heart Attack hitmaker thanked fans for supporting her following her relapse reveal. 

"Tonight I took the stage, a new person with a new life," she shared. "Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this journey. It will never be forgotten (love heart emoji) @rockinriolisboa."

Latin pop star J Balvin has stolen Drake's crown to become the world's most-streamed artist on Spotify.

Officials at the streaming service announced the news on Monday (25Jun18), revealing the Colombian reggaeton artist now boasts 48 million monthly listeners, more than any other musician.

The milestone was reached in part due to the popularity of his 2017 smash Mi Gente, which also featured a remix with Beyonce, and his recent single X with Nicky Jam, which has been played on Spotify more than 327 million times to date.

"All I can say is thank you, thank you," Balvin shares in a statement issued to Fader.com. "I'm so grateful and proud to be the most heard artist in the world on Spotify. It's bigger than J Balvin, it's the movement and it's in Spanish.

"We are proving that Latinos have the power to connect with an audience on a global level without having to leave our identity behind. This is an achievement for the entire Latino community. I'm so grateful to Spotify for the enormous support to the reggaeton movement."

The rapper also marked the news on social media, telling fans, "The world is for those of us who dream big."

The news gives Balvin extra reason to celebrate, after cheering on the Colombian national soccer team at the World Cup on Sunday (24Jun18), when the sportsmen beat Poland 3-0 in host nation Russia to avoid elimination.

He wasn't the only Colombian star to get in on the soccer action - Shakira and Carlos Vives also tweeted their support, while singer Maluma shared a photo of himself celebrating in the stands at the game in host nation Russia.

Madonna is at the top of Glastonbury boss Michael Eavis' wish list to headline next summer's festival, according to insiders.

The pop superstar has never performed at the Worthy Farm event in Somerset, which is considered Europe's biggest festival, but talks are underway to get her onstage in 2019, according to The Sun.

"Preparations are already well under way after they've taken this year off, and Michael and his ­daughter Emily Eavis want to make it better than ever," one insider says. "They have always been massive fans of Madonna and know she would put on an unforgettable show.

"It was really important that they had a diverse line-up for the 2019 festival after criticism of previous ones... and with this being a fallow year they want to secure a really big name to drive ticket sales. Thanks to all her huge hits, they are convinced that she would be a real crowd pleaser on the Pyramid Stage."

Eavis previously made it clear he'd love to host Madonna, after he tried to book her in 2000 to headline alongside David Bowie.

"I would really like to get Madonna, I tell you that," he said at the time. "I might spend a bit of time working on that actually."

Former Beatles star Paul McCartney has also revealed he'd be open to headlining Glastonbury in 2019, telling BBC Radio 2 DJ Jo Whiley he'd like to return to the festival to please his daughters Stella and Mary.

"They have said to me actually, 'Dad, you've got to do it, you've got to do it'," he said, admitting he enjoyed his last trip to Worthy Farm in 2004.

"I haven't really spoken to anyone about it," the singer added. "It's a little while since we did it. And we did enjoy doing it. The conversation hasn't gone any further."

Pregnant Cardi B has opened up about her secret marriage to fellow rapper Offset, confirming the couple wed on a whim last year (17) with "no dress, no makeup and no ring".

The I Like It hitmaker took to Twitter on Monday afternoon (25Jun18) to address reports of a secret ceremony, shortly after a copy of their marriage certificate, from last September (17), was unearthed and published via TMZ.com.

In a lengthy message drafted in her Notes app and shared in a screenshot, Cardi, who is pregnant with Offset's baby, explained they wanted to keep the news to themselves as they had only been dating for a few months when they exchanged vows.

"There are so many moments that I share with the world and there are moments that I want to keep for myself! Getting married was one of those moments!" she told her fans.

"Our relationship was so new breaking up and making up and we had a lot of growing to do but we was so in love we didn't want to lose each other (sic)," Cardi continued, hinting at Offset's autumn (17) sex tape scandal, when he was caught on camera with another woman.

The hip-hop star went on to recall how they woke up on the morning of 20 September and decided to take the plunge, with just one relative present to witness the impromptu ceremony, which reportedly took place in the pair's bedroom at home in Atlanta, Georgia.

"We found someone to marry us, and she did, just the two of us and my cousin," Cardi remembered. "I said I do, with no dress, no makeup and no ring!"

She then addressed Offset's public proposal onstage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in October (17), when he presented her with a huge 8-carat diamond engagement ring.

"I appreciate and love my husband so much for still wanting for me have that special moment that every girl dreams of when he got down on his knee and put a ring on my finger and he did that for me!!" she gushed.

Cardi, who confirmed her pregnancy in April (18), signed off with a message for the couple's critics.

"Well now since you lil nosey f**ks know at least ya can stop saying I had a baby out of wedlock (sic)," she quipped.

In the caption for the post, she claimed gossip about her personal life had inspired the name of her recent debut album.

"This why i name my album 'Invasion of privacy' cause people will do the most to be nosey about your life," she tweeted. "Welp f**k it (sic)."

Cardi and Offset may have been able to keep their bedroom wedding a secret had the Migos star not given a shout-out to his "wife" onstage at the BET Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night (24Jun18).

The mother-to-be had to skip the ceremony as she is due to give birth to a baby girl in the coming weeks.

Sheryl Crow has turned her back on the major labels and will be releasing her new single via digital distribution service Stem.

The singer has released all 10 of her albums through either A&M or Warner Bros. but now it appears she's keen to try a new way of getting her music out there - and she has turned to the three-year-old platform, which streamlines and tracks payments for artists.

"For artists out there who don't belong, or seemingly don't fit into this cookie cutter world of very young pop, it's a great way to get your music out there," she tells Billboard.

"I'm a little bit of an anomaly, in that I'm a much older artist than what gets played at radio, obviously. And I'm a much older artist than what typically winds up on playlists, and I'm also a much older artist than what most labels are interested in putting money into, because they don't make the money back, but that doesn't mean I'm not making good records, it doesn't mean that I'm not staying vital and creative.

Her new track, Wouldn't Want To Be Like You, features fellow singer/songwriter St. Vincent under her given name, Annie Clark. The two stars became friends after collaborating live onstage at Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit.

"I called her and said, 'I am dying to have you bring your St. Vincent-ness to this,' and I said, 'You will not hurt my feelings if you don't like the song'," Crowe recalls. "And I sent it to her, and her response was, 'F**k yeah!' That was a direct quote, as only Annie Clark can respond, which I loved. She did all kinds of stuff on it, and we pretty much used all of it."

If the new song is a hit on Stem, Crow is considering an alternative release for her next album, which has been in the works "for about two years": "We'll shop it and then we'll sort of evaluate where we're at," she explains. "So I can't say specifically whether we'll do it through Stem or whether we'll do a one-off with the record and then come back to Stem, but I love knowing that it's (Stem) there."

Rappers Cardi B and Offset secretly married in Georgia last year (17), a month before the Migos star proposed onstage, according to a new report.

The Stir Fry hitmaker sparked speculation he and his pregnant fiancee Cardi had already tied the knot after referring to her as his spouse as Migos collected the Best Group prize onstage at the BET Awards on Sunday night (24Jun18).

"I thank my wife. You should thank yours," he told the Los Angeles crowd.

The couple has yet to comment on the rumours, but on Monday, reporters at TMZ.com unearthed a marriage certificate issued to the stars under their real names in Offset's hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.

"This is to certify that Kiari Kendrell Cephus & Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar were united in marriage... on the 20th day of September, 2017 in the City of Atlanta, County of Fulton, Georgia...," reads the document, which was signed by court officials.

The date listed on the certificate suggests the two hip hop stars were already husband and wife when Offset got down on one knee and popped the question to the Bodak Yellow star onstage at a concert in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in October (17).

Offset and Cardi, who began dating in early 2017, are currently preparing to welcome their first child together - a baby girl.

The kid will be Cardi's first, and Offset's fourth, after fathering three other children with three previous lovers.

Cardi is reportedly due to give birth in July (18), and she and Offset reportedly celebrated their daughter's impending arrival at a baby shower in Atlanta over the weekend (23-24Jun18).

Taylor Swift was left starstruck backstage at her own concert in London at the weekend, when she came face to face with Adele and J.K. Rowling.

Swift has shared Polaroid selfies she took with the Hello singer and Harry Potter author after her Wembley Stadium show on Saturday night (23Jun18) and gushed about her celebrity fans.

"I'm so grateful for these women, for the words they’ve written and the worlds they’ve created through their art... so stoked to have you at the show in London @adeleand JK," she wrote.

Taylor also shared the stage with Robbie Williams, who is still apologising for his rude middle finger salute to the camera during the World Cup opening ceremony in Russia earlier this month (Jun18). The odd couple performed a rendition of his hit Angels.

The night before, Swift shocked fans at Wembley Stadium by bringing out One Direction's Niall Horan for a surprise duet.

Niall and Robbie joined Shawn Mendes, Selena Gomez and Troye Sivan, who have previously joined Swift onstage for duets at previous shows in the U.S.

Taylor's Reputation World Tour, which also features tourmates Charli XCX and Camila Cabello, began in Arizona on 8 May (18).

All the shows have been special for the headliner, but the chance to perform at Wembley Stadium for the first time on Friday night was a real treat.

"London, I can't pretend like this isn't my very first time playing a show headlining Wembley Stadium, because it is," she told fans. "It is my first time looking out into a crowd like this at Wembley Stadium and knowing that, with everything you could be doing in London on a Friday night - I spend a lot of time in London so I know there are so many things you could be doing tonight - and yet you've decided to spend your Friday here with us, thank you so much."

Panic! At The Disco are the latest act to battle The Greatest Showman for Official Albums Chart supremacy, and the Brendon Urie-fronted project are in front at the midweek stage.

Pray For The Wicked, Panic!'s sixth studio album, is 5,500 combined chart sales ahead of The Greatest Showman's Motion Picture Cast Recording at Number 2. Should Pray For The Wicked be able to hold on, it will be Panic!'s first UK chart-topping album. 

Now a solo venture, Panic! previously released five albums as a group, their highest charting being 2008's Number 2-peaking Pretty Odd. View Panic! At The Disco's full UK chart history here.

Also impacting the Top 5 on today's Official Chart Update is Jane McDonald. The singer and TV presenter currently occupies the Number 4 position with new album Cruising With, named after her BAFTA-winning TV show on Channel 5. Cruising With could become the entertainer's highest charting album since her Number 1 debut in 1998.

Saxaphonist Kamasi Washington's sixth album Heaven & Earth is on course to become his first UK Top 40 entry at Number 7, The Cure's remastered remix album Mixed Up enters at Number 9 today, and Nine Inch Nails are at 10 with Bad Witch.

More new entries come from Bebe Rexha with Expectations (18) and No Sounds Are Out of Bounds by Orb (22), ahead of potential re-entries from Foo Fighters' Greatest Hits (23) following their UK stadium shows, and The Beatles' 1 (25), spiking in popularity following Paul McCartney's appearance on James Corden's The Late Late Show.

Vinyl reissues of Garbage's Version 2.0 (27) and Dannii Minogue's Neon Nights (29) see them return to the midweek Top 40, and finally, UK rapper Headie One lands at Number 32 with The One Two.

George Ezra could be claiming his first Number 1 single this week as his latest release, Shotgun, leads the way on today's Official Singles Chart Update. 

The singer-songwriter's summer anthem, taken from his chart-topping album Staying At Tamara's, climbs from 2 to 1 and could be ousting Clean Bandit's Solo ft. Demi Lovato (2) from the summit this Friday (June 29). 

George has previously come close to the top spot on two occasions: his 2013 debut Budapest peaked at Number 3 in 2013, while Paradise topped out at 2 in April this year.

Following his death last week, XXXTentacion's music continues to climb this week. Sad! vaults from 31 to Number 5, Moonlight lifts from 32 to 16 and Changes is up from 33 to 20. All could be potential new chart peaks.

Meanwhile, British DJ/producer Jonas Blue edges closer to the Top 10 with Rise ft. Jack & Jack, up five places to 12, and Cheat Codes & Little Mix are set to land this week's highest new entry with Only You, currently at 18.

Further down, Tiesto & Dzeko's Jackie Chan ft. Preme & Post Malone zooms 12 places to 23, The Carters a.k.a Beyonce & Jay-Z climb eight spots to 35 with Apes**t, and Demi Lovato's brand new single Sober is currently hovering just outside the Top 40 at Number 41.

Kanye West has defended his "slavery was a choice" comment, saying his sentiment was misunderstood.

In early May (18), while talking to TMZ Live, the Famous rapper ranted: "You hear about slavery for 400 years. For 400 years? That sounds like a choice. Like, that was there for 400 years and it's all of y'all?"

Both his fans and famous friends were shocked by the statement, and Kanye addressed wife Kim Kardashian's furious reaction on his new track Wouldn't Leave.

He's now opened up about the incident in a wide-ranging chat with The New York Times, explaining that his comment was misunderstood.

"I said the idea of sitting in something for 400 years sounds - sounds - like a choice to me, I never said it's a choice. I never said slavery itself - like being shackled in chains - was a choice," he said. "That's why I went from slave to 400 years to mental prison to this and that. If you look at the clip you see the way my mind works."

Admitting that he felt "awesome" in the aftermath because he was able to learn from the experience, he also explained that he felt an affinity with Nat Turner, the slave who led a rebellion to free his countrymen from the shackles of slavery.

And asked if, given the chance, he would rephrase the comment, Kanye revealed he has no regrets.

"I feel stupid to have to say out loud that I know that being put on the boat was - but also I'm not backing down, bro," he stated. "What I will do is I'll take responsibility for the fact that I allowed my voice to be used back to back in ways that were not protective of it when my voice means too much."

Niall Horan quizzed Taylor Swift about her British beau when he joined her on the London leg of her Reputation Stadium Tour.

The One Direction star made a surprise appearance at Wembley Stadium on Friday (22June18), delighting fans by singing his hit track Slow Hands with Taylor. 

And the Irish musician admitted he took the opportunity to grill the 28-year-old on her boyfriend, actor Joe Alwyn. 
"She’s the sweetest girl and great fun. When we caught up backstage we were talking about how she’s doing, where she’s living and what she’s up to," he confessed to British newspaper Metro.

"I haven’t seen her in about a year and a half so it was kind of a catch-up, how are things going with the new fella - just general chat."

Niall, who is currently in the midst of his own Flicker World Tour, added that singing with the pop princess on the grand stage had been an exciting experience.

"Taylor is a superstar and the show is absolutely insane. It felt great to be back at Wembley - there’s no better feeling than standing on stage in the most famous stadium in the world," he gushed. 

Meanwhile, the 24-year-old revealed he will be taking an extended break when his year-long, tour wraps in September. 

The popstar admitted he wishes to take time off to work on his highly-anticipated second album - something he hasn't been able to do while on the road. 

"When I’m on tour I get into such a routine. And when you’re writing songs I feel like that needs to be 100 per cent your focus," he told The Sun.

“So I’m going to take a couple of months off after the tour. Then I’ll just write until I’ve got good tunes. I’m not coming back until I do."

Migos star Offset has sparked speculation he is already married to his pregnant fiancee Cardi B after referring to the rapper as his "wife" at the BET Awards on Sunday (24Jun18).

The hip-hop star took to the stage at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles with his bandmates Quavo and Takeoff to collect the award for Best Group. After Quavo gave an acceptance speech, Offset took hold of the microphone and added, "I thank my wife. You should thank yours". 

His remark left fans wondering on social media if he was already married to the Bodak Yellow star, who is expecting their first child together. 

However, they grew even more confused when Offset, real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus, didn't go up to collect awards on Cardi's behalf. The heavily pregnant singer won the Viewers' Choice and Best Female Hip Hop Artist Awards but was absent from the ceremony. 

The couple became engaged in October, when Offset proposed onstage at the Power 99's Powerhouse concert in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and he told Rolling Stone in January that they hadn't started planning a wedding because they didn't have time. 

Cardi, real name Belcalis Almanzar, confirmed long-running rumours she was pregnant with her first child, a girl, when she performed on Saturday Night Live in April, and she is thought to be due in July. 

According to TMZ.com, her baby shower took place in Atlanta, Georgia over the weekend, and items on her registry included a Moses basket covered in gold leaf, which reportedly retails for $3,600 (£2,700), a $200 (£150) Babycook set, and battery-powered children's version of a Bentley Bentayga car, that costs $700 (£528). 

The duo recently posed for a joint cover photoshoot for Rolling Stone magazine in which Cardi exposes her bare baby bump.

Paris Jackson is adamant her grandfather Joe Jackson did not write a sentimental message on Twitter on Sunday (24Jun18).

The 89-year-old Jackson family patriarch has been battling an illness for some time, according to TMZ.com, and reportedly is in the final stages of his life. 

While Joe has not publicly commented on his health, many followers of his verified Twitter account noticed that a photo of him staring out at the ocean at sunset was uploaded on Sunday afternoon - and took the image to be an indicator of his current status. 

However, his granddaughter Paris, the second child of his late son Michael Jackson, has claimed that the message did not come from him. 

"This is a beautiful tweet. though it upsets me to see whoever is in charge of this account taking advantage of it. my grandfather did not tweet this. i'm not sure if he's ever used this account (sic)," she wrote on Twitter on Monday. 
When her Twitter fans asked for further details, Paris responded that there was "no possible way for him to have tweeted it" and stated that she had been by his side all afternoon and evening. Additionally, she thanked her 1.3 million followers for their support. 

"Blessed to have a family that comes together the way the Jacksons do," the 20-year-old wrote, adding: "Thank you all for the love you've sent during this time." 

The original message shared on Joe's account was captioned: "I have seen more sunsets than I have left to see. The sun rises when the time comes and whether you like it or not the sun sets when the time comes." 
Janet Jackson honoured her father in a speech when she collected the Impact Award at the 2018 Radio Disney Music Awards on Friday night and Jermaine Jackson noted in a Twitter message shared last Thursday that his father's health was "not good". 

Joe, who lives in Las Vegas, was rushed to hospital in 2015 after suffering a stroke and heart arrhythmia.
