Lizzo and Lady Gaga are heading to Kensington Palace, London — well, two of their iconic outfits are anyway.
Rolling Stonereports that a pair of the singers’ most iconic looks will be featured at the State Apartments at Kensington Palace’s upcoming display, “Crown to Couture.”
Lizzo’s outfit will be the dramatically glamorous, black-and-gold Thom Browne corset dress she wore to the 2022 Met Gala. Fashion experts lauded the rapper for understanding the assignment of the night’s theme, which was Gilded Glamour.
As for Gaga, the flowing green gown she wore to the 2020 MTV VMAs will be on display.
These outfits will be featured alongside some iconic pieces of fashion history stemming from the 18th century. Claudia Acott Williams explained the inspiration behind the new “Crown to Couture” exhibit, saying it’s their way of bringing together the past and present.
“By bringing these familiar looks into the Palace and placing them in conversation with spectacular 18th-century court dress, we hope to provide a new perspective on these historic spaces and the seemingly distant customs of the Georgian Court, and allow visitors to experience the Palace as it was meant to be experienced: filled to the brim with the most fashionable and influential names of the day,” said Wiliams.
So, if you want to see Gaga and Lizzo’s fashion choices showing up some 300-year-plus outfits from the Georgian era, you have from April 5, 2023, to October 29, 2023, to see them.
If Marie Osmond has her way, Selena Gomez would play her in a documentary about her life.
Speaking to E! News, the singer opened up about the possibility of having her very own biopic to tell her life story. “I think Selena Gomez would be amazing — only because she has been through a lot of the things that I’ve been through,” Marie raved.
Both singers stepped into the limelight as children, to which Marie noted, “I think it’s nice to have a child’s perspective as being an entertainer because it’s very different.”
As for her experience growing up in front of an audience, the singer is grateful for what her life gave her. “I don’t look at life that way,” she said when asked if she missed out on having a normal childhood. “I look at what’s a positive. I like to dwell on that more than what I missed.”
Selena has not yet commented on the possibility of bringing the legendary singer’s life story to the big screen.

When Keyshia Cole stepped onto the music scene with her 2004 debut single “Never,” many took notice of her signature tooth gap. She eventually covered it with veneers, but it’s back thanks to her role in an upcoming film.
Social media users were in a frenzy after Keyshia smiled and showed off her reopened gap to fans watching her Instagram Live. Twitter was flooded with posts assuming the singer was about to release music reminiscent of her early days.
“Keyshia Cole brought her gap backkkkk now you know her music bout to be,” read one tweet. “Keyshia Cole gap is back,” a fan wrote. “hopefully that old K.C. feel of music will follow.”
It turns out Keyshia is working on a new project, but it’s not music. Speaking to The Shaderoom, the singer revealed she brought her gap back for an upcoming biopic about her life.
“I’m getting in character,” she said in a statement, noting she will play a younger version of herself in the movie. “[W]e start filming in Oakland on the 1st of next month [December].”
Keyshia said she got veneers because her teeth were “really small” and she “just wanted to perfect what she didn’t like about” her smile. She contemplated bringing the gap back before the movie came out, adding she “decided to make that jump” when they started filming.
The procedure cost more than $8,000, Keyshia added. She has no plans to cover her tooth gap again.
Just over two weeks after Aaron Carter‘s tragic death, the late pop star’s son, Prince, turned 1 year old.
Melanie Martin, Carter’s ex-fiancée, celebrated Prince’s 1st birthday on Tuesday by sharing a video to Instagram set to “Happiest Year” by Jaymes Young and filled with special moments from the infant’s first year of life.
“Happy birthday to my baby boy Prince Lyric Carter,” she captioned her post. “Today is going to be a tough one for me but I know your daddy is playing birthday songs for you up in heaven I love you baby boy!!!”
Over in her Instagram Story, she shared a look at Prince’s Spider-Man-themed cake, which featured a photo of him and his father on the top. In another Instagram Story, Martin wrote, “…have to be strong for our son.”
Martin and Carter, who had an on-again, off-again relationship, welcomed Prince in November 2021.
Carter was found dead in his California home on November 5 at the age of 34. A cause of death has yet to be revealed.
After going solo, Marcus Mumford hasn’t forgotten about his Sons.
In a clip from an upcoming interview with NBC’s Sunday TODAY, which premiered via Rolling Stone, Mumford teases the return of the “Little Lion Man” outfit.
“The next thing, really, is to get in a room with the boys in the band and start playing each other the songs we’ve written,” Mumford shares. “I’ve got a bunch that are kinda ready to go.”
He adds, “Then we’ll make a record, and tour it, and get to do what we love.”
Mumford & Sons’ most recent album is 2018’s Delta. Since then, banjo player and guitarist Winston Marshall has left the band.
Mumford, meanwhile, released his debut solo album, (self-titled), just two months ago. Upon the launch of his solo project, Mumford’s Sons bandmates Ted Dwane and Ben Lovett shared a message of support, writing that they are “immensely proud of him.
A rare live recording of Led Zeppelin performing a 13-minute version of “Dazed and Confused” has just turned up on YouTube.
The audio clip was shared by YouTuber Mark McFall, founder of the Zepfan memorabilia website, and features audio recorded at The Concertgebouw in Amsterdam on October 5, 1969. According to the post, the performance was recorded from a fan’s TV speaker during a broadcast of the show on November 12, 1969.
A review of the show on Ledzeppelin.com says “the atmosphere crackled” during the concert, noting, “Heavy, crashing Zeppelin sounds swept the audience onto another plain.” The review continued, “Wild, standing ovations brought the group back time and time again and they finally left the stage exhausted.”
Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour may be finished in the U.S., but he’s still got a lot more touring to do — and it may see him break a new record.
Elton wrapped the U.S. leg of the tour this weekend in Los Angeles and, according to Billboard, the last three Dodger Stadium shows brought in $23.5 million and sold 142,970 tickets. In total, the last 13 shows bring the tour’s total gross to $749.9 million, with over 5 million tickets sold since it began in 2018. And with about 50 shows still left to play, it’s certainly looking like Elton has a good shot at surpassing Ed Sheeran’s The Divide Tour for the title of best-selling tour of all time.
Ed’s tour wrapped in 2019 and grossed $776.4 million, which means Elton is less than $30 million away from taking over number one. It now sits at number two, having surpassed U2’s 360 Tour, which brought in $736.4 million.
Next up, Elton brings his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour back to Australia and New Zealand in January with 10 stadium shows, which puts him on track to break Sheeran’s record in early 2023.
“Sweet Yamz” is the name of Fetty Wap‘s latest single, but it also doubles as the name of his recent Thanksgiving giveaway.
Hosted Tuesday in his hometown of Paterson, New Jersey, the Sweet Yamz giveaway — a partnership with Fetty’s family, frequent collaborator Monty and Dr. Mills, principal of College Achieve Paterson — provided residents with free food and groceries ahead of turkey day. Hot 97’s DJ Drewski, a New Jersey native, was on the 1s and 2s.
“I’m very grateful for my fans and for my community because I wouldn’t be where I am without them,” Fetty said in a statement. “Giving back, especially in my hometown, is very important to me no matter what the circumstances are. Even though I can’t be there in person, shout-out to every single one of my fans, supporters, and everyone that’s still rocking with me!”
The song “Sweet Yamz” dropped Friday. It’s a “Zoomix” to the original “Yamz” by Masego and Devin Morrison.
