You might catch Adele on a nature walk. Daily Mail reports she told the audience during her Vegas residency, “I’ve started hiking. I really like it. I put my headphones on and get on with it.” She also joked walking around a big theater is a workout.

Pink released the Sam Feldt remix of her new song, “Never Gonna Not Dance Again,” which transforms the disco song to a bass-heavy clubhouse rave.

Jewel is none too happy with the animal a TikTok randomizer claims she represents most — a goldfish. She shared the video and her disappointed reaction before pretending to be a sad goldfish. “Well that went right down the toilet…,” she captioned the video.

The Jonas Brothers are thrilled to be heading back to Las Vegas for another encore of their residency in February, but they teased on Instagram that fans need to buckle up for a busy year. They cryptically posted, “3 more Vegas shows is just the beginning… 2023 is going to be a fun one!”

Camila Cabello got her goth on and jumped on the “Wednesday Dance” craze on TikTok. She dressed in all black and danced alongside her Voice finalist Morgan Myles, who could be voted this year’s champion during Tuesday night’s season finale.

Lizzo says she turns to Adele for industry advice because, as she told Howard Stern, “She’s literally me in a different font.” As for whether they will ever collaborate, Lizzo says, “We’ve never talked about that,” but said she “would play flute with Adele” if Adele ever asked.

Speaking of Adele, you might catch her on a nature walk. Daily Mail reports she told the audience during her Vegas residency, “I’ve started hiking. I really like it. I put my headphones on and get on with it.” 

Selena Gomez celebrated her Golden Globe nomination by sharing a throwback video to TikTok of her younger self dreaming of being nominated for a Grammy. “I think it would be an honor, of course, but I’m more of a Golden Globe or Oscar girl,” she had said. Selena wrote, “Dreams do come true!!” She’s up for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series — Musical or Comedy for Only Murders in the Building.

Pink released the Sam Feldt remix of her new song, “Never Gonna Not Dance Again,” which transforms the disco song to a bass-heavy clubhouse rave.

The Jonas Brothers are thrilled to be heading back to Las Vegas for another encore of their residency in February and teased on Instagram, “3 more Vegas shows is just the beginning… 2023 is going to be a fun one!”

Cyndi Lauper made a trip to Washington, D.C., Tuesday to thank President Joe Biden for his support of the Respect for Marriage Act.

ABC News reports that ahead of the signing ceremony, Lauper surprised the press in the White House briefing room, with White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre introducing her by joking, “I know we have some serious business ahead of us today, but, you know, sometimes girls just want to have fun,” referring to one of Cyndi’s biggest hits. 

“I came here because I wanted to say thank you to President Biden, Speaker Pelosi, Vice President Harris and all the advocates and his team for all families — mine and a lot of my friends and people you know,” Lauper told reporters. “We can rest easy tonight because our families are validated, and because now we’re allowed to love who we love.”

Lauper also performed at the signing ceremony, treating those gathered to her classic song “True Colors,” introducing it by saying, “Well this time love wins.” Sam Smith was also on hand to perform their hit track “Stay With Me.”

Biden signed the bill into law Tuesday afternoon. It repeals the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which prohibited federal recognition of same-sex marriages.

Did Jack Harlow manifest his rumored new romance through one of his songs? According to Page Six, he and Dua Lipa are an item.

Jack wrote the song “Dua Lipa” for his new album, Come Home The Kids Miss You, which featured the lyrics “Tryna do more with her than do a feature.”

Turns out Harlow called Dua up for her stamp of approval before releasing the song in May. After hearing the track over FaceTime, she gave him a nod.  

That awkward conversation reportedly laid the groundwork for their run-in at the Variety Hitmakers Brunch last month. Sources say they have been in “constant communication” since the ceremony.

The source noted, “He was very interested in her and was going to strongly pursue [the romance] … He is going to do his best, as he has always been a fan of her.”

The two have yet to confirm their rumored romance.

Drake memorializes his past relationships in his music, but it appears he’s also keeping the memory of some alive with his jewelry.

His new piece, a chain called Previous Engagements, features “42 engagement rings, 351.38 carats in [white goal] diamonds,” according to jewelry designer Alex Moss.

The rings, he adds, represent “all the times he thought about it but never did it.”

The overall process of creating the chain took “an expedition spanning 14 months, every diamond hand selected, inspected to only suit perfection” before it was completed. An image of it is now featured on Moss’ Instagram.

News of Drake’s necklace follows the SNL skit in which many women, including then-guest host Keke Palmer, came together for a PSA about being named in his songs for simply having a connection to the rapper.

As previously reported, Cher’s mother, Georgia Holt, passed away Saturday at age 96. Cher initially didn’t share too much about it, only tweeting “Mom is gone,” but she’s now opening up a bit about her mom’s final days.

After tweeting that she “can’t sleep very well,” Cher explained, “The truth…. She’s been Sick, & rallying, she then got bad, she was in so much pain,” adding, “Finally she coded on way to Hosp. By time we Got to Hosp….The Woman who Who Was MY KICK A** MOM was No long Here.”

Cher also noted how grateful she was for the outpouring of affection her mother has received since her death.  “Mom Would Be So Trilled That Ppl From All Over 🌎 Are Talking About Her With ❤️ & Admiration,” she tweeted. “Truth Is…I TOOK MOMS VOICE & HER DREAM & MADE THEM REAL. She Couldn’t Manifest Them, So I Did It 4 Her, & Made Her Happy,” noting, “My SISTER GEE WAS THE BRILLIANT ONE.I WAS UGLY 🦆THAT TURNED 2 🦢.” 

And if people don’t believe Cher’s comment about taking her mom’s voice, she suggested, “Look for Cher & mom sing ‘I’m just your yesterday.’ You’ll see where I stole my voice,” referring to her mom’s 1982 song.
