The singers of London’s West End Gospel choir got the surprise of their life when Michael Bublé walked through the door to watch them perform his song “Bring It On Home to Me.”

A video of the surprise visit, released Wednesday, was taken as the Grammy winner was touring London in March to promote his new album, Higher. Michael revealed he was “asked to surprise” the singers, who were led to believe they “were only being filmed as a stunt for Michael’s socials.”

“The choir had no idea that Michael is coming to surprise them,” the narration continued, adding the “Sway” singer also had “no idea that they are performing his song.”

The choirmaster, named Nathaniel, was in on the whole thing.

The wholesome video starts with Michael gushing about how much he loves gospel music and psyching himself up to meet the singers. Of course, the moment he walks in, the choir jumps to their feet while erupting in laughter and cheers.

His reaction is priceless once he realizes what song they’re singing and soon joins them.

Michael then hugs each and every member of the choir and tells them, “I’ve been freaking out! For me, when I recorded this song, it was the greatest thing I’ve ever recorded in my life.” Michael became emotional as he explained that he always believed in the song when others didn’t — and said their performance will “let people see how beautiful this is.”

“This is the moment. You guys gave me the moment,” he gushed. 

“That was truly one of the greatest moments of my life,” Michael continued, saying he’d love to invite the singers to join him the next time he performs in London.

The “I’ll Never Not Love You” singer is currently on the North American leg on his Higher tour.

Thanks to Snoop Dogg, Stephen Curry has a new chain to go with his four championship rings. The rapper gifted the NBA star a Death Row chain following their recent reveal of a newly refurbished basketball court.

“It’s chaining day!” Snoop told Steph as he placed the piece around his neck. “They ain’t got that, Steph! That’s official.” A video of the moment is captured on Snoop’s Instagram page.

Stephen and his Under Armour Curry brand had teamed up with the Death Row owner to surprise a group of over 70 children at the Boys and Girls Club in Long Beach, California. The two crashed the basketball practice, spoke to the kids and unveiled a new court, designed by renowned artist Damion Scott.

“This is the place where I learned how to play basketball, play football, be active in the community and build relationships. It’s where I learned how to rap, talk and just be me basically – in this park right here,” Snoop said of the court. “To come back and see the kids doing different things, trying to be better than we were – that’s what it’s all about.”

He and Steph hope that the refurbished gym will continue to be a safe space for children in the community, especially those interested in sports.

“We want to provide a space where you can come enjoy yourself and get lost in the fun, lost in the competition, invest in yourselves, and be around a lot of amazing coaches and programs,” Curry said. The baller later reflected on the experience on Instagram.

The artist behind Dennis Graham‘s Drake tattoo is speaking out after the rapper poked fun at his artwork. In a conversation with TMZ, Money Mike explained that the imperfect portrait was the result of being rushed throughout the process.

According to Mike, Bishop Don Juan invited him to Dennis’ birthday party, so he attended because it “sounded like a fun time.” Despite not knowing Drake’s father — or being a fan of the rapper — he purchased a few bottles for him and the two eventually started talking about tattoos. 

Mike gave his contact information to Dennis, who requested a portrait of Drake three days later. But as the artist explained, the tattooing process went far from smoothly because Dennis couldn’t handle the pain.

“In my defense, one of the reasons the tattoo isn’t the absolute greatest I’ve ever been able to do is because he was rushing me,” Mike said. “So four hours into the tattoo he was in severe pain, and he was telling me basically just to wrap it up.”

Mike claimed there were no complaints about the finished product … until Drake saw the tattoo. The rapper then allegedly got other people to retouch the ink, which he considers a violation of “an unwritten law” among tattoo artists.

As previously reported, Drake joked about the tat when he posted it alongside the caption, “I was sitting here thinking why you do me like this we family.” Mike said he received an apology from Dennis after the post and claimed Drake was drunk when he shared it on social media.

Britney Spears is exhausted by the “cruelty” of her own family — and that includes her kids.

The “Toxic” hitmaker took to Instagram to shed more light on what’s happening between her, her ex-husband Kevin Federline and their two sons, 16-year-old Sean Preston and 15-year-old Jayden. This comes a few days after Federline told Daily Mail her kids “have decided they are not seeing her right now.” 

“This situation should have 100 percent been dealt with privately and definitely not online,” Britney wrote.

The Grammy winner admitted her kids have been seeing her less frequently and, when they would visit, they would “walk in the door, go straight to their room and lock the door.”

Noting that her sons are teenagers, Britney said, “I always TRIED and TRIED and maybe that’s why they stopped coming here !!! I wanted them to love me so much that I might have overdone it !!!”

Britney also hit back at the report’s claims that her household is filled with too much drama, adding Federline “wants to bring up my past” to use against her. “That was almost 20 years ago … Their game doesn’t work anymore,” she noted.

The pop star also argued Federline isn’t a saint and wrote, “I can guarantee you, that house has more weed than Ludacris, 50 Cent, Jay Z and Puff Daddy combined.”

“My heart doesn’t understand cruelty. It breaks my heart because it seems to me that these days, cruelty does in fact win,” she lamented. “I can’t process how I dedicated 20 years of my life to those kids … everything was about them.”  She said their actions have “knock[ed] the breath out of me.”

“It would take a miracle to fix my heart,” she closed, and praised her “supportive husband,” Sam Asghari, for being there for her.
