James Hetfield will soon be off to married married land.

The Metallica frontman has announced he and his girlfriend, Adriana Gillett, are now engaged.

The “Enter Sandman” metallers revealed the news in a photo posted to Instagram featuring Hetfield and Gillett underwater in scuba gear. Hetfield is holding a sign reading, “Adriana Gillett will you marry me?” while Gillett holds the ring in one hand and gives a thumbs-up with the other.

“She said yes!” the caption reads. We can only hope Gillett responded with a patented Hetfield “Yeah!”

Hetfield was previously married to Francesca Tomasi for 25 years before divorcing in 2022. They share three children.

Doja Cat reveals she’s been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder

Doja Cat has revealed that she has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.

In a TikTok video, Doja described how it has affected her this way: “I’ve learned from a very young age to pretend that I like stuff, to pretend that I’m happy, to pretend that I don’t like stuff that I do, to appear like everything is okay: ‘I’ll get it done!’ And it caught up with me, and I think it always does for people. I’m now struggling with BPD.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, BPD “affects how you see yourself” and “includes unstable and intense relationships, extreme emotions, and impulsiveness.”

Doja said she’s been living with BPD “probably forever,” adding, “It’s an agonizing condition, curable, thank God, and I’ve been in therapy for years now and I am so relieved and so proud of myself. I have made it so far and I still make mistakes but it is like an eight-year process of curing — of treatment and healing, in order to cure it.”

Doja then talked about how much she admired Chappell Roan’s ability to be “uncomfortable, comfortably in front of people, and protect herself and be honest,” which is something she aspires to do.

“I had to learn how to be honest. I had to learn how to be honest with myself. I lied to myself for years. For most of my life,” Doja said. “And to see her sit there — and I love it. I love that she can do that without hurting people. She hasn’t hurt one person by being herself, and that shows that I can do the same.”

She concluded, “Let her have an attitude. Because I’d love to have one as well and I f***** will, hopefully, in the future.”

It’s been a weekend of highs and lows for Jack White.

To start with the positive, the “Seven Nation Army” rocker has been announced as the musical guest for the April 4 episode of Saturday Night Live. The set will mark his fifth SNL performance as a solo artist, following his appearances in 2012, 2018, 2020 and 2023. He also performed with The White Stripes in 2002.

The episode will be hosted by actor and Tenacious D frontman Jack Black, so we expect it will feature a sketch called “Jack Gray.”

As for the sadder news, White announced on Saturday that his mother, Teresa Gillis, has died.

“Teresa Gillis 1930-2026. Rest in peace with the Lord,” White wrote in an Instagram post.

Did you know Harry Styles can do a pretty good Sebastian Maniscalco impersonation? Have you ever seen him kiss a six-foot-five redhead? If you watched Saturday Night Live, the answer is “yes.”

Harry was the host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live, and in his monologue, he joked about being a “tremendously boring” person. He then added, “As a British man who spent a lot of his life in the public eye, I can assure you, there’s something nice about being boring. It’s better than the alternative.” Cut to the notorious picture of the former Prince Andrew in the back of a car after his arrest.

Harry also addressed a criticism he faced a few years ago. “Some people accused me of something called ‘queerbaiting,’” he said. “But did it ever occur to you that MAYBE YOU DON’T KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT ME, DAD?”

At the end of the monologue, Harry said he only “kissed all the time” with someone who had a “tight little bum.” When cast member Ben Marshall showed up and asked, “Where’s my kiss?” Harry replied, “Come on Ben, everyone knows there’s nothing little about that thang!” But then he planted one on Ben anyway, turned to the camera and said, “Now that’s queerbaiting!”

Harry also appeared in multiple sketches, mostly doing an American accent. In one, he successfully matched Marcello Hernandez’s Sebastian Maniscalco impersonation with his own impression of the comic; in another, he showed off a European accent

The sketch “Harry for Him” focused on a line of Target clothing that allows men to wear the same outrageous outfits Harry’s worn over the years. Of course, unlike Harry, they become the subject of ridicule.

And oh yeah: Harry also sang. Last week’s SNL host Ryan Gosling introduced his performance of “Dance No More,” and legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Paul Simon introduced his performance of “Coming Up Roses.” That was a full-circle moment, because a track on Harry’s new album, “Carla’s Song” is about his friend Carla discovering Paul’s music, and then her reaction when he played her one of Paul’s most famous songs, “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”

Longtime Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell has died at age 64.

Campbell’s band the Bastard Sons, which includes his children, announced the news in an Instagram post Saturday reading, “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father, Philip Anthony Campbell, who passed away peacefully last night following a long and courageous battle in intensive care after a complex major operation.”

“Phil was a devoted husband, a wonderful father, and a proud and loving grandfather, known affectionately as ‘Bampi,'” the post continues. “He was deeply loved by all who knew him and will be missed immensely. His legacy, music and the memories he created with so many will live on forever. We kindly ask that our family’s privacy is respected during this incredibly difficult time.”

Campbell joined Motörhead in 1984 in place of Brian “Robbo” Robertson, who played in the band for a year following the departure of classic lineup guitarist “Fast” Eddie Clarke in 1982. The first iteration of the band with Campbell also included frontman Lemmy Kilmister, drummer Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor and another guitarist, Michael “Würzel” Burston, turning the longtime trio into a quartet.

After several changes behind the kit, Motörhead brought in drummer Mikkey Dee in 1992. Following Burston’s departure in 1995, Motörhead returned to a trio with Kilmister, Campbell and Dee. That lineup remained intact until Lemmy’s death in 2015, upon which Motörhead disbanded.

Campbell played on 16 Motörhead’s studio albums. Outside of Motörhead, Campbell released three albums with the Bastard Sons, as well as a solo record in 2019.

Olivia Rodrigo’s musical collaborator Dan Nigro posted a photo on Instagram not too long ago showing himself passed out on a couch with Olivia sitting next to him. The caption read, “Finishing records….” Now, her official fan site appears to be hinting that said records may actually be on the way.

Livie’s HQ, Olivia’s official fan account, wrote on X Friday, “#OliviaIsComing.” The account followed it up with a video showing a purple wall featuring a new “OR” logo painted on it, along with the entire side of a building painted purple with the  same “OR” logo. The account also retweeted several fan photos and videos of the same wall.

Earlier this month, when Olivia was in Paris for Fashion Week, WWD posted a video of her being asked about speculation surrounding the title of her next album. She replied, “Oh, you think I’m going to give that away right now? No, no, no. I’m keeping that close to the chest.”

Olivia hasn’t released a new studio album since 2023’s GUTS.
