Calling all Animals! Kesha‘s paranormal reality series arrives next week, and to get you all excited, she shared its official trailer.

“IM FREAKING OUT,” the hitmaker teased on Instagram. “Im so excited for y’all to see all the crazy s*** we caught on camera.” Kesha also said her series “literally has changed my life hand to god.”

The trailer shows Kesha visiting various haunted locations and trying to interact with ghosts, demons and whatever else goes bump in the night. “It’s about to get crazy,” she gloats in one scene. Other clips show her using an Ouija board, singing “Amazing Grace” to angry spirits and asking out loud, “Are we in danger?”

While Kesha adores all things spooky, the trailer proves that even she will scream in terror when faced with the unexplainable.

The Grammy nominee isn’t alone on her adventures, either. She’s brought some friends and professional paranormal experts along for the thrilling ride. Guests include comedian Whitney Cummings, Bachelorette star JoJo Fletcher and more.

In one clip, rapper Gata is seen heading out of a haunted building and declaring loudly, “I am gettin’ out of here, y’all.” It appears he’s not the only one who is sent heading for the hills, as the trailer also shows Kesha booking it down a hallway — but it’s unknown if she’s running toward or away from something spooky.

“To me, the supernatural comes naturally,” Kesha previously said in a statement. “It started with my insatiable curiosity, my eternal searching for something bigger than me.”

“I wanted to catch actual proof of the unexplainable. If we could catch these things on camera, then what else could be true?” she queried.

Conjuring Kesha premieres Friday, July 8, on Discovery+.

Justin Bieber appears to be on the mend and was spotted in public for the first time since announcing he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome.

TMZ snapped photos of the “Ghost” singer out and about with his wife, Hailey Bieber. The two had spent the past few weeks in the Bahamas, presumably to allow Justin privacy while he recovered.

The outlet caught the two deboarding their plane in Los Angeles. The Grammy winner was wearing sunglasses, a baseball cap and a hoodie with its hood up. As for Hailey, she had her hair done up in a messy bun, and was wearing sunglasses and an oversized leather jacket.

The couple didn’t go straight home from the airport, instead grabbing some sushi at West Hollywood’s Sushi Park before continuing on their way.

Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a rare neurological complication caused by the chickenpox virus, which can reactivate as shingles later in life as it stays dormant in one’s system after initial infection. The Mayo Clinic says Ramsay Hunt is caused when a shingles rash breaks out near one’s ear. The rash can trigger facial paralysis, which is what Justin has.

The “Cold Water” singer shared a video earlier this month that showed how the syndrome affected the right side of his face. “This eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move. So there’s full paralysis on this side of my face,” he revealed. Justin has since called off the remainder of his North American tour dates in order to heal.

At this time, the European leg of his Justice World Tour is still going forward, with it resuming July 31 in

Kane Brown was the grand marshal for the Ally 400 NASCAR Cup Series this weekend, and it appears he had a great time.

On Sunday, the country hitmaker shared a series of snaps from his racing adventure in Nashville, which started with a police escort to the Nashville Superspeedway. On Instagram Stories, Kane revealed that he wore a Dale Earnhardt shirt to the race that fellow NASCAR legend Richard Petty took the liberty of signing. 

“When you wear a Dale Earnhardt shirt to the race and Richard Petty gets mad and signs it,” Kane says in the video shrugging with a laugh, adding the caption, “2 kings” with several fire emojis. He posted photo evidence of Richard signing the shirt. 

The “Good As You” hitmaker also shared a video from his suite that shows the cars racing around the track as he cheers on Martin Truex Jr. 

To make the day even more special, Kane invited two members of the Boys and Girls Club, an organization he’s been a longtime supporter of, to help give the command for drivers to start their engines.

Lil Nas X revealed that his relationship with BET has been tumultuous for “quite some time” and hints that the fiasco over his zero nominations was the last straw.

The rapper has aired his grievances with the network through his “Late to Da Party” collab with YoungBoy Never Broke Again, which contains the profane chant: “F*** BET.” 

In a statement to Rolling Stone, the Grammy winner explained, “My relationship with BET has been painful and strained for quite some time. It didn’t start with this year’s nominations like most people might think.”

“They did let me perform on their show last year, but only after [I gave] assurances that I was not a satanist or devil worshiper, and that my performance would be appropriate for their audience,” he continued.  

BET refuted the “Panini” rapper’s claims and said in a separate statement that the “summation of events around Lil Nas X’s 2021 BET Awards performance is simply untrue.”

“Since last year’s performance, we have been in touch to work on other projects,” a representative told the outlet. “We are still excited about his previous performances and continue to wish him well. But today, we are focused on culture’s biggest night and delivering history-making moments for fans worldwide.”

Lil Nas X began publicly beefing with BET after he failed to snag a single nod at this year’s award show despite the success of his debut album, Montero, which produced several hit singles. He said he’s calling out BET because “this is about the bigger problem of homophobia in the black community, y’all can sit and pretend all u want but imma risk it all for us.”

His “Industry Baby” collaborator, Jack Harlow — who was nominated for Best Male Hip Hop Artist — wore a Lil Nas X tee on the red carpet.

Ed Sheeran let his fans know he is a major fan of Sam Smith, whom he invited on stage to perform during his takeover of England’s legendary Wembley Stadium.

Ed is performing two weekend sets at the London venue and invited the “Dancing with a Stranger” singer to guest with him on his second night. The Grammy winner shared a sweet video of them hanging out and captioned it, “The incredible @samsmith guesting last night to a sold out Wembley. Got pure goosebumps for it, just so wonderful.”

Sam reposted the video and expressed on their Instagram, “Forever grateful for your support and friendship Ed. Hearing Wembley sing ‘stay with me’ last night is a sound I will never forget. Took me to the moon. Thank you. What a show, what a guy.”

The duo performed Sam’s 2014 breakout hit, “Stay With Me,” which Ed explained in the video, “We first performed this song eight years ago, which is mad!” The clip also shows the “Shivers” singer admiring Sam’s vocal prowess, dancing on stage and inviting the audience to join in on their duet.  

After the show, Ed dubbed their set “pure enjoyment” and said the night’s audience was “the best crowds in London, ever.”

The video also highlighted the multiple hugs the two shared during the event. “I love you,” the redhead told Sam during an embrace before they took the stage. Sam responded, “I love you more!”

Ed is next set to take over Wembley on June 29 and 30.

(NOTE LANGUAGE) Several stars, including Taraji P. Henson, Lizzo and Megan Thee Stallion, are blasting the Supreme Court for overturning Roe v. Wade and the fundamental right to abortion that has been the law for almost 50 years.


When Lizzo accepted the Fearlessness Award at the second Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards Friday night in Beverly Hills, she announced she had partnered with Live Nation to donate $1 million from her upcoming Special Tour to Planned Parenthood and Abortion Funds, according to People.


“It seems like we’re always [in a humanitarian] crisis, like a global pandemic or institutionalized racism or the bans lawmakers put on our bodies,” the three-time Grammy winner told the crowd. The “Truth Hurts” singer/rapper added, “I don’t just do this for myself, I do this for the world and to show the world what action really looks like.”

Sunday night, Lizzo opened up the BET Awards performing “About Damn Time,” and Henson, who hosted the event, praised her for her donation.

“Thank you, Lizzo, for pledging $1 million to Planned Parenthood,” the Golden Globe-winning actress said. “It’s about damn time that we talk about [how] guns have more power than women in America. It’s a sad day in America. A weapon that can take lives has more power than a woman who can give life, if she chooses to.”

Megan Thee Stallion slammed the Supreme Court as she performed Saturday at the Glastonbury Festival in England.


“It wouldn’t be me if I didn’t take a second to call out these stupid a** men,” the “Hot Girl Summer” rapper said on stage. “I want to have it on the record that the motherf***ing hot girls and the hot boys do not support this bulls*** that y’all campaigning for.”

Cyndi Lauper has released a new version of her 1993 abortion rights anthem “Sally’s Pigeons” after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 opinion that declared abortion a constitutional right.

“The Supreme Court’s radical decision today makes the re-recording and re-release of ‘Sally’s Pigeons’ more relevant than ever,” she wrote on Instagram. “In my childhood, women didn’t have reproductive freedom and 50 years later we find ourselves in a time warp where one’s freedom to control their own body has been stripped away.”

The two-time Grammy winner continued, “When I wrote this song with Mary Chapin Carpenter in 1991, we wrote about two little girls who dreamt of stretching their wings like the pigeons they watched that flew above them. They dreamt of being free.”

“But freedom then for women and unfortunately now comes at a big price. If we don’t have control over our own bodies then we have no real freedom,” Cyndi expressed further. “If we don’t have control over our own bodies then we have no real freedom. We are second class citizens. We need to mobilize. We need to let our voices be heard.”

“Sally’s Pigeons” was inspired by Cyndi’s childhood friend who became pregnant and died after seeking a back-alley abortion. The heartbreaking track includes lyrics, “Some twenty one years back/ She left one night with just a nod/ Was lost from some back alley job/ I close my eyes and Sally’s pigeons fly.”

She has since changed the lyrics of the 2022 version of her song and says the events took place “some fifty one years back.”

The “Time After Time” singer is a staunch advocate for abortion rights.
