In recent years, Shaggy has been working with Sting, but his new single features another musical collaborator: Robin Thicke. The two have joined forces for a new single called “Looking Lovely,” which interpolates the classic 1977 Bill Withers song “Lovely Day.” Shaggy said it was his idea to flip the song and put Robin on the record.

“It’s such an iconic track … I’ve been, you know, messing with for a while,” he told ABC Audio, adding, “Once Robin and I had connected and there was this friendship between him and I, I said, ‘Yo, you’d be perfect for this.’ I think his vibe that he’s on, he sings about ladies, and me, I’m ‘Mr. Lover Lover.'”

He laughed, “I just think the whole thing is sexy, man!”

Robin said he initially didn’t want to even consider singing over an iconic track like “Lovely Day,” but Shaggy’s take on it changed his mind.

“As soon as the music kicked in, I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t wanna touch this,'” he told ABC Audio. “But then I heard his voice, and I was, like, his voice makes it fresh. It brings into a new audience into a fresh, youthful feeling. And so it just made it sound brand-new to me. And I was like, ‘O.K., with his voice, it makes [sense].’ If it was just me, I wouldn’t do it.”

The two have now performed the song a few times on TV, including on Live with Kelly & Mark. Will they get together on tour and sing it live? “Well, it’s just the beginning, and we’re both tour junkies,” Robin said. “We both love being out on the road and doing our thing, so we’ll see where the rest of the year takes us, but we’re open to it.”

Body camera footage has been released from the night Justin Timberlake was arrested in the Hamptons in June 2024 after police suspected the pop singer of driving while intoxicated.

The Sag Harbor Police Department released the video to media outlets, including the Associated Press, which released excerpts.

The video reviewed by ABC News shows an officer stopping Justin on the night of June 18, 2024, after the officer said he saw him veering off to the left and not stopping at a stop sign.

The singer, who identified himself during the stop, told officers he was in the area briefly while on tour. “I’m on a world tour,” he says, later adding, “I’m Justin Timberlake.”

The officer asks to see his ID.

Police then conduct a series of standardized field sobriety tests and, later, ask to administer a breath test. Justin refuses to take the breath test, the video shows.

The body camera footage also captures a woman, identified as a friend of Timberlake’s, pleading with officers not to take him into custody.

“Stop it! No way! Don’t say it!” she says as officers place Timberlake in handcuffs. “You can’t, like, put him in jail,” she says, asking if, instead, she can take him home.

Police decline her requests, stating that Timberlake would be held and processed.

At one point, she references Timberlake’s music while appealing to officers, saying, “You love ‘Bye Bye Bye,’ you’re on ‘SexyBack’ — one favor” and then asking officers if she can ask Justin if he wants his phone.

The footage ends with Timberlake seated in a police vehicle.

The singer pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from the arrest before reaching a plea deal to resolve the case in September 2024. He pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of driving while impaired. He was ordered to pay a fine and perform community service.

As previously reported, earlier this month, Justin sued to stop the release of video footage capturing his arrest, claiming the videos showed him in “an acutely vulnerable state.” The Village of Sag Harbor and Jusitn’s lawyers later reached an agreement to release a redacted version.

Chappell Roan has responded to Brazilian soccer star Jorginho Frello, after he claimed her security confronted his 11-year-old daughter for just looking at the pop star.

Frello wrote on his Instagram Story that his wife and daughter were staying at the same hotel in Brazil as Roan, who was there to headline Lollapalooza. He said his daughter was “extremely excited” because Roan was someone she “admired a lot.”

At breakfast, Frello says his daughter saw that Roan was there too but insists she didn’t bother the singer.

“She just passed by the singer’s table, looked over to confirm it was her, smiled, and went back to the table with her mom,” he wrote. “She didn’t say anything, didn’t ask for anything.”

Frello wrote that after that, a security guard confronted his family and spoke “extremely aggressively” towards his wife and daughter, accusing his daughter of “disrespect” and “harassment,” which scared her and left her crying.

But in a video posted to her Instagram Story, Roan insisted the person who confronted the 11-year-old was not part of her “personal security.”

“I didn’t even see a woman and a child … No one came up to me. No one bothered me,” she said. “I did not ask the security guard to go up and talk to this mother and child.”

“It’s unfair for security to just assume someone doesn’t have good intentions when they have no reason to believe because there’s no action even taken,” she added, noting, “Like, I do not hate people who are fans of my music. I do no hate children. Like, that is crazy.”

Roan also apologized to Frello’s wife and daughter if they “felt uncomfortable” noting, “that makes me really sad. You did not deserve that.”
