Dashboard Confessional has announced a new album called All the Truth That I Can Tell.

The eighth studio effort from the “Hands Down” outfit — and the first since 2018’s Crooked Shadows — is due out February 25. You can listen to the lead single “Here’s to Moving On” now via digital outlets.

“I think in this song I find myself understanding what brought me to the mat and what it takes to get up off the mat,” says frontman Chris Carrabba.

“Sometimes what brought you to the mat are outside forces and sometimes it’s you, yourself,” he continues. “Or it can be all those things. But it does seem the only thing that gets you up off the mat isn’t outside forces — it’s always you.”

Here’s the All the Truth That I Can Tell track list:

“Burning Heart”
“Everyone Else Is Just Noise”
“Here’s To Moving On”
“The Better of Me”
“Southbound and Sinking”
“Sleep In”
“Me and Mine”
“Sunshine State”
“Pain Free in Three Chords”
“Young”
“All The Truth That I Can Tell”

Ariana Grande is once again channeling Jennifer Garner in 13 Going on 30.

After paying homage to the 2004 rom-com in her music video for “thank u, next,” the singer sported one of the signature looks from the film during last night’s live episode of The Voice.

Ari wore the colorful Versace dress Garner’s character Jenna Rink wore in the movie’s famous “Thriller” dance scene. She even accessorized with similar dangling earrings and did her hair in an updo matching the character’s.

Garner previously commented on Ari’s “thank u, next” video tribute back in 2018, prompting the singer to gush over what 13 Going on 30 means to her.

“NooooooooOoOOoOo I’m crying,” Ariana wrote at the time. “I watched this movie every night before bed growing up (and I still do sometimes, especially when I’m sad). I adore you! Thank you for all the inspiration and joy you’ve brought to my life. I’m screaming bye and by sometimes I literally mean every night still.”

Kanye West used his Sunday Service to offer his support to those affected by the tragedy at Travis Scott‘s Astroworld Festival last Friday.

On Sunday, the 44-year-old rapper dedicated his Sunday Service, which was livestreamed on YouTube, to “the loved ones at Astroworld.”

The livestream’s description also read, “Let’s get back to a peaceful state of mind with this service dedicated to the lost lives at Travis Scott’s Astroworld.”

West did not attend his service, according to TMZ.

Eight people died and hundreds were injured when the crowd of 50,000 rushed the stage during Scott’s performance last week.

Over the years, Lady Gaga has been known to turn more than a few heads with her outlandish looks. In addition to gracing the cover of December’s British Vogue, the House of Gucci star revisits some of her iconic looks, one of which featured her arriving inside of an egg at the 2011 Grammy Awards. 

“We would call this an outfit,” Gaga said. “Everyone calls this the egg but it’s actually a vessel that was designed by Hussein Chalayan.”

Gaga then revealed that she “was in the egg for three days,” before explaining, “To be honest, at award shows, especially during this time, I didn’t like to talk to people. I always felt that it threw me off with my performance, so this in a lot of ways is really representative of my devotion to my craft, in that I really wanted to be with myself.”

Gaga also shared that she changed the outfits of those who carried her into the awards ceremony just one night before the show, because “I was very particular about the way the fashion looked for this performance…I said, ‘The fashion’s wrong, we don’t have it. We need it to be latex. We need nude latex.’” 

“And if you know anything about looking for latex, years ago it was very difficult to find latex anywhere other than a sex shop,” she recalled. “Where we found this latex was, a bus company had latex that they were using to cover the seats of their buses and we found the latex and we asked if we could buy it from them. So everybody’s fashion that’s made here was made from the fabric from seats for a bus.”

Britney Spears told fans in a new update that she’s praying hard that, by week’s end, she will be released from her controversial 13-year conservatorship.

“This week is gonna be very interesting for me,” Britney posted to Instagram Monday. “I haven’t prayed for something more in my life.”

The singer’s next court hearing is set for November 12, where Judge Brenda J. Penny will consider terminating the conservatorship.

Britney also admitted to feeling overwhelmed by her ongoing legal battle, saying that complicated emotions may have gotten the best of her on several occasions.

“I know I’ve said some things on my Insta out of anger and I’m sorry but I’m only human … and I believe you’d feel the same way if you were me,” she wrote.

While she didn’t directly reference some of her past controversial statements, she did make headlines last week when, in a since-deleted Instagram post, she accused her mom Lynne Spears of masterminding the conservatorship and, in the process, “secretly ruining my life.”

Britney also admitted in her post, “I can’t say I’m never going to complain again… cuz who knows,” then added she’s focusing on the “new day” ahead.

Last month, Ed Sheeran revealed that he and Elton John were teaming up for a Christmas single, and during an appearance on The Tonight Show on Monday, Sheeran shared some more details about the song.

The “Shivers” singer told host Jimmy Fallon that Elton called him up last December to wish him a Merry Christmas and extended an invitation to join him on another holiday song, because his classic “Step Into Christmas” had returned to the British top 10.

“So, he rung me on Christmas day and said, ‘I want to do another Christmas song do you want to do with it me?'” Sheeran recalls. “So I said to Elton, I was like, “I don’t really want to do Christmas song unless we’re going in unless it’s like…sleigh bells, ding dong — it needs to be a proper Christmas song. So I wrote a chorus, and then I went to go and stay with him and we wrote three and one of them was this one called ‘Merry Christmas.'”

“I’m like, “We’re gonna have to change that title ’cause there’s probably loads of songs called ‘Merry Christmas,'” he continued.

However, to Ed’s surprise, “I went on Spotify and I typed in ‘Merry Christmas.’ Nothing. There’s ‘Merry Christmas, everyone,’ there’s ‘Happy Xmas.’ There’s ‘Merry Xmas (War Is Over)’… There’s not a song called ‘Merry Christmas.’ And then I went on YouTube and checked it out; it baffled me…it’s kind of like this glitch in a video game where no one saw.”

A release date for “Merry Christmas” has yet to be announced.

Declaring “My heart is broken,” Drake is sharing his thoughts following the events of Travis Scott‘s Astroworld Festival on Friday that left eight dead and hundreds injured when the crowd of 50,000 concertgoers rushed the stage. 

Taking to Instagram Monday night, the “Way 2 Sexy” rapper wrote in a statement, “I’ve spent the past few days trying to wrap my mind around this devastating tragedy. I hate resorting to this platform to express an emotion as delicate as grief but this is where I find myself.”

“My heart is broken for the families and friends of those who lost their lives and for anyone who is suffering,” he continued. “I will continue to pray for all of them, and will be of service in anyway I can. May God be with you all.”

Drake’s statement comes after Scott shared his sentiments on the unfortunate events on Saturday, saying he is “absolutely devastated” by what happened and that is “committed to working together with the Houston community to heal and support the families in need.” Scott also promised to refund concertgoers for their tickets, and plans to cover the funeral costs of those who died.

Both rappers are being sued over the events that unfolded at Astroworld, which took place at Houston’s NRG Stadium.
