While Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde have been photographed together by paparazzi plenty of times, the two have never made a public appearance together on a red carpet or gone Instagram official. However, a source tells Entertainment Tonight that that might change in the near future.

“At first, they were very aware of how others would perceive their relationship so for the sake of her kids and [Olivia’s ex] Jason [Sudeikis], they wanted to keep things low profile,” dishes the source, referring to why they’ve kept their relationship so private. Olivia shares two children — 8-year-old son Otis and 5-year-old daughter Daisy — with the Ted Lasso star.

But now, the source claims, the couple is more comfortable with the idea of their relationship being in the spotlight. As the source notes, “Privacy is still very important to both of them, but they also want to live their lives authentically, and that means some PDA and speaking about each other publicly.”

In addition, they’re both aware that when Don’t Worry Darling, Harry’s new movie that Olivia directed, comes out, they’re going to have to appear together for promotional purposes and they’ll likely have to field numerous questions about their romance. But since they’re “in such a good place and so confident in their relationship,” the source says, they may just be O.K. with that.

Don’t Worry Darling, which also stars Florence Pugh, arrives September 23.

As he faces hundreds of lawsuits from the November 2021 Astroworld Festival that resulted in 10 deaths and numerous injuries, Travis Scott has planned his first major concert since the deadly tragedy.

La Flame will perform at London’s O2 Arena on August 6. He announced the event Monday on Instagram with the comment, “Been in the studio for a while. Time to take it to bigger speaker. See u soon London.”

He stated that he “created Project HEAL to take much needed action towards supporting real solutions that make all events the safest spaces they can possibly be. I will always honor the victims of the Astroworld tragedy who remain in my heart forever.”

Five Seconds of Summer has called off several upcoming shows after drummer Ashton Irwin appeared to suffer a medical emergency on stage.

The band was performing in Texas on Sunday when Ashton, who is 27, began exhibiting stroke-like symptoms.  

“Last night’s show ended early due to a medical incident during the show. Upon experiencing physical symptoms, Ashton was taken to a local hospital for the tests and medical review,” the band stated via their Instagram Stories. They added Ashton is now “feeling OK and [is] recovering very well.”

Ashton has since spoken to fans via Twitter to explain what is going on with him. “I suffered from an intense migraine brought on by exhaustion and overheating onstage which made me loose [sic] my vision and gave me symptoms of stroke in the left side of my body,” he tweeted. “So the decision was to end the show there and then.”

Because of the health scare, 5SOS will postpone their upcoming Tuesday show in Rogers, Arkansas, per “medical advice.”

“We are so sorry to cause inconvenience to your plans, but we promise for those of you who can still make it, we will put on the show of your lives,” the band explained, adding the show has been rescheduled to July 26.

The band is requesting fans give Ashton privacy while he recovers.

Luke Combs appears as an amateur fishing salesman in a new skit for Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Dressed from head to toe in fishing gear, the singer admits that while he loves to fish, he’s “no pro.” That’s why he starts every trip with a visit to “Bass Amateur Shop,” “the place for people who love to fish, but don’t have the faintest idea how to do it,” Luke explains.  

The parody of Bass Pro Shop features fumbling employees who attempt to help clueless customers, answering their “stupidest questions” like “how wet is the fish going to be?” and “are fish animals or dolphins?”

The store also provides all your fishing needs, including a reel (aka “cranky turny guys”), waders (“big tall shoes”) and a fishing line (“dental floss”). And let’s not forget the “Christmas ornaments,” which are really a string of red and white bobbers.

One of the “customers” shares that she’d never caught a fish until she began shopping at Bass Amateur Shop. But the fish in question is actually a dead bird, which Luke helps her stuff into a tackle box that he refers to as a “big lunch box.”

“So come on down to Bass Amateur Shop because you don’t have to be a professional to get drunk on a lake,” the hitmaker concludes as he cracks open a bottle of beer.    

Luke’s appearance on the ABC show comes in the wake of the release of his new album, Growin’ Up.

Ludacris’ longtime manager, Chaka Zulu, was one of three people shot early Monday morning in the Buckhead section of Atlanta, Georgia. ABC affiliate WSB-TV reports one person died. Zulu, however, survived and is being treated at a local hospital.

Police say the incident occurred outside of a Peachtree Hills shopping center on Peachtree Road and was the “result of a dispute in the parking lot”; they are studying surveillance video as they search for the shooter.

WSB reporter Michael Seiden tweeted Monday, “Former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed just sent me the following statement: ‘We are fortunate to report that Chaka Zulu is in stable condition and recovering. The family thanks everyone for their well wishes and prayers, and asks for their privacy at this time.’

Numerous people, including The Roots‘ Questlove, have since wished the music executive a speedy recovery on social media. “Prayers for Brother Chaka Zulu,” he tweeted.

Zulu and Ludacris have worked together for over 25 years, co-founding Disturbing tha Peace Records in 1995.

As for the man who died in the shooting, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports he’s been identified by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office as 23-year-old Artez Benton.

Lizzo credits the one and only Beyoncé for inspiring her to become the artist she is now. 

The Grammy winner was the latest guest on The Late Late Show with James Corden and joined him for some “Carpool Karaoke.” Between the two belting out Lizzo’s “Juice,” “About Damn Time,” “Good as Hell,” “Truth Hurts,” and “Special,” Corden got the singer to open up about her origins.

Lizzo wasn’t shy about her feelings for Beyoncé, whose infamous alter ego inspired the name of her flute: “Sasha Floot.” “When I was shyer, when I didn’t think I was cool and when I was getting picked on, I would listen to Beyoncé in my bedroom and it would transport me. I would feel something. Feel like my life was going to be better…Like there’s hope for me,” Lizzo explained.

“When I dropped out of college and I was really depressed, I listened to B’Day on repeat and I would just sing B’Day all the time. And I was like, ‘I’m gonna be a singer,'” she revealed. “The way she makes people feel is how I wanna make people feel with music. She’s been my North Star.”

Lizzo has yet to meet her icon in person, which prompted Corden to play a prank on her that almost made her cry. The British host pretended he had Beyoncé’s number and offered to call her.  

“You almost got me, you b****,” Lizzo remarked while fanning away her tears. The two then threw themselves into a performance of Bey’s “Crazy in Love.”

Maren Morris‘ pre-show routine is packed with fun activities! 

The superstar took to TikTok to give fans an inside look at what life is like on the road, particularly what her day looks like before the takes the stage. Maren begins the day with a peaceful yoga session with her crew “to get our bodies moving,” she says in a voice-over. 

While the crew sets up the stage, she heads into soundcheck while 2-year-old son Hayes plays in a kiddie pool beside the stage.

But perhaps the most unique activity on the road is that of pickleball, which Maren confesses they’re all “obsessed” with. The video includes footage of her playing with the paddle and ball while her friend dons a terrycloth outfit and whistle.

Saturday nights are when the real party starts: the team indulges in vodka and gin martinis, putting together special blends titled “the classic bi***” for gin and “the basic bi***” for vodka, along with some glasses of rosé. 

Before she hits the stage, Maren and the band do a spirited chant, ending the night by signing autographs for fans out by the bus.

“Pre-show life is almost as fun as the show out here…,” Maren says in the caption. 

“The Bones” singer continues on her Humble Quest Tour through the end of October, with a closing date at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on December 2.
