Actress/TV personality La La Anthony hasn’t always cared about a skin care routine. The 40-year-old entertainer told People that there’s one person in particular who’s has had an impact on the way she now cares for her skin.  

Out of a friendship with singer Kelly Rowland grew a newfound appreciation for self-care. 

“She’s obsessed with skincare and making sure all of us take care of our skin and our bodies,” Anthony said of Rowland. “She’s always sending tips on what to do. So if you’re friends with her, she’s going to make sure your skin is on point — no matter what.”

Anthony says Rowland is all about establishing a routine that is nourishing to the “mind, body and soul.” The Power alum admits Rowland is the one to call when seeking advice or with skincare questions.

“You only get one face — you don’t want to mess it up!”

Anthony says her upcoming debut of her Men Have Skin Too campaign with Old Spice makes it easier for her to persuade her teenage son, Kiyan, to get into a grooming routine. 

“I have a 15-year-old son, so hygiene — deodorant, skin care, taking care of yourself — is a big priority in my household,” Anthony explains. “And I’ve always been a fan of Old Spice, so when I got the opportunity to be a part of the campaign, I definitely wanted to jump on board.”

The actress says through the campaign, Kiyan has found products that he enjoys using. 

Despite her busy schedule, Anthony tries hard to find time for herself and to appreciate beauty from the inside out. 

“We’re reminded constantly how life is short,” she says. “So it’s important to feel good and enjoy it while we’re living it.”

Fans who hoped Justin Bieber would be able to return to the road following his recovery from Ramsay Hunt syndrome were disappointed Thursday when it was announced that all remaining dates of the tour are postponed.

The tour — which was originally scheduled to wrap up this December and then resume in January, officially ending in March 2023 — was put on pause September 6 when Justin revealed that his face was partially paralyzed due to Ramsay Hunt.

Then, on September 15, it was announced that 12 shows through October 18 were being canceled. Now all the remaining scheduled dates on the tour have been postponed. Ticket holders will be “informed on next steps as updates occur,” reads an Instagram message.

It turns out the final date of the tour was Justin’s Rock in Rio show on September 4. He said in a statement after the show, “I gave everything I have to the people in Brazil. After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me.” It was then that he knew he had “make my health the priority” and announced, “I’m going to take a break from touring for the time being.”

Shania Twain keeps winning! The “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” singer has been crowned the artist with the most popular karaoke song.

Billboard rolled out a new list chronicling the “the greatest karaoke songs of all time.” In first place is Shania with her 1998 crossover smash hit.  

Of course, the legendary singer couldn’t stay silent about the high honor and hilariously reacted to the news. “I think @billboard just crowned me the Queen of Karaoke?!” she said on Twitter, using a shocked face and crying emoji to convey her reaction.

Shania continued, “Seriously though, it’s really really cool to see the life that ‘Man! I Feel Like A Woman!’ has taken on and I’m just obsessed with you all…”

The country star then revealed that she creeps on fans who post videos of them singing the song and shared a highlight reel of her favorites. “I’m not much of a karaoke singer (I’m actually quite bad at it ) but I do love watching other people do karaoke, so… show me what you’ve got!” she said, adding she wants more fans to tag her when they post such clips.

When fans begged Shania to clarify that she doesn’t sing karaoke, she relented that the statement wasn’t totally true. “Well sometimes I do karaoke… on special occasions,” she joked and shared a photo of her singing in a saloon.

Wynonna Judd is setting the record straight about some rumors that she and her sister, actor Ashley Judd, are in disagreement over their mom’s will.

Together, Wynonna and Naomi Judd made up legendary country duo The Judds. In April, Naomi died by suicide at the age of 76 after a lifelong battle with mental illness; her famous daughters’ grief has been relatively public from the start. One day after her death, The Judds were scheduled to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, and both Wynonna and Ashley spoke emotionally about their mom from the stage.

Now, rumors are flying about how Naomi’s estate will be divided up — and how Wynonna and Ashley feel about it. But Wynonna tells People that there’s no truth to those claims.

“Fighting over what? I have such a great life. Ashley has such a great life. Why would we be fighting over the will?” the singer asks.

Wynonna adds that Naomi appointed her husband, Larry Strickland, as the executor of her will; when he dies, the estate will be split between her and Ashley.

“I am the last person in the family — and if Ashley was here, I hope she’d agree with me — who knows stuff like this,” Wynonna continues. “I’m not savvy enough to go, ‘I’m going to contest the will.’ It never occurred to me.”

Earlier this week, Ashley made an onstage cameo during a show on The Judds Final Tour, which Wynonna is helming solo with help from a rotating cast of country stars.

As the two sisters stood onstage together, Wynonna said, “I’m sick and tired of the press saying a bunch of c*** about us.”

“We love each other,” she continued, according to fan-captured video.

Katy Perry is thinking about her next music era, but admits nothing is set in stone — especially when it comes to what it’ll sound like.

Speaking with Rolling Stone, the hitmaker opened up about her inevitable follow-up to 2020’s Smile and what she’s been focusing on since releasing her sixth studio album.

“I put out Smile during the pandemic a couple of years ago, and I’ve done a couple of other things. I really enjoyed putting out ‘When I’m Gone’ with Alesso. But I was putting all of my energy into Vegas,” she explained. The singer added, “I miss my fans around the world, and I really want to go to them and see them and just travel the world again. Some of them can’t come and see me in Vegas, so I’m going to head out and see them.”

“I’m just excited for the future because there’s so much more to come,” she teased, adding that she plans to offer up new music when she launches her next world tour.

Elsewhere in the interview, Katy gave herself a pat on the back for vouching for Dua Lipa when she first tried breaking into the industry.

“I remember even championing Dua because I was like, ‘Oh, this girl is going to be the next big girl pop star. She’s the it girl, and she’s coming,'” she recalled, adding how she watched Dua take over the Hollywood Palladium before hitting it big.

Katy recalled she “left work early” while filming American Idol and told fellow judge Luke Bryan who she was seeing. When Bryan wanted to know who Dua was, Katy remembers replying, “Don’t worry, you’ll know her name.”

As for the new it girl, Katy says it’s the artist Cyn.
