Adele selling home she bought last year from pal Nicole Richie for million

Adele is continuing her real estate wheeling and dealing in LA.

According to the real estate website Dirt, she’s put the house she bought last year from her friend Nicole Richie on the market for $12 million — two million bucks more than she paid for it in 2021. The 5,500 square-foot house features three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a gourmet kitchen, fireplaces, “assistant’s room,” gym, pool and sports court.

The home is right next door to the house where Adele lived until earlier this year, when she moved into Sylvester Stallone‘s $58 million former mansion — possibly along with her boyfriend, Rich Paul. Neighbors include Jennifer Lawrence, Zoe Saldaña, Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz.

As Dirt notes, Adele also owns the $10 million mansion across the street from those two homes; that’s where her ex-husband, Simon Konecki, reportedly lives.

Harry Styles mediates tense argument between Florence Pugh and Chris Pine in new ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ clip

September 14, 2022 by WDNY Radio

A new clip of Don’t Worry Darling is here and it gives us more questions than answers.

The teaser, shared Wednesday, shows Florence Pugh‘s character, Alice, turning a dinner party into a tense disagreement with Chris Pine‘s Frank, the CEO of the Victory Project. This causes her husband, Harry Styles‘ Jack, to become visibly distressed.

Alice ratchets up the tension by pointing out that everyone in their quaint town, called Victory, has similar stories — from how they met to where they honeymooned. Meanwhile, Jack tries to redirect and calm the conversation.

“There are so many different stories that we’re told,” Alice continues while staring directly at her husband’s boss. “We’re told what we remember until we try to remember things that they want us to forget.” Frank is then accused of “doing something to us.”

The tide turns against Alice when Frank reveals she went “to headquarters” and “put all of your lives in danger.”

The clip ends with a shocked Jack staring at Alice, who sighs in frustration.

Don’t Worry Darling hits theaters on September 23.

Muni Long announces ‘Public Displays of Affection: The Album’

September 14, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Following the success of her EPs Public Displays of Affection and Public Displays of Affection Too, Muni Long is releasing her long awaited full album on September 23.

“9/23 PDA THE ALBUM!!! I’m so happy to finally be able to give you this full project,” the 33-year-old singer wrote on Instagram with a photo of the album cover and the track list.

Muni’s single “Hrs and Hrs,” which went Platinum in 2021, will be among the 18 tracks, as well as her only collab on the album: “Baby Boo” featuring Saweetie.

“I’ve spent so many hours crafting this, putting my heart and soul into each and every track. I want to give you all more of what you love and deserve,” the Grammy nominee continued. “These songs, these stories, and these experiences are fueled by love and affection; that of which I have for all of you.”

Over the past 12 years, Long has been in high demand as a songwriter. Her credits includes tracks for Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Madonna, H.E.R., Mary J Blige, Ariana Grande, Chris Brown, Kelly Rowland, Pitbull and many more.

West Virginia lawmakers pass near-total ban on abortion

September 14, 2022 by WDNY Radio

(CHARLESTON, W.Va.) — West Virginia legislators approved a bill that bans nearly all abortions in the state, sending it to Gov. Jim Justice’s desk for approval before it becomes law.

Known as HB 302, the bill approved by state legislators Tuesday prohibits the procedure at virtually every stage of pregnancy.

However, there are exceptions if the mother’s life is in danger, if the fetus is “non-medically viable” or for an ectopic pregnancy, which is when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside of the uterus. Psychological or emotional conditions are excluded, according to the bill.

Physicians who perform unlawful abortions could lose their license to practice medicine and face criminal charges.

Additionally, the bill states that miscarriages and stillbirths are not considered abortions.

The bill passed both chambers last week, but returned to the House for a vote after an amendment by the Senate stripped a section of the bill that would see doctors imprisoned for up to 10 years if they perform abortions outside of the exceptions.

The Senate also changed the bill’s exceptions for rape and incest. In the House-backed version, rape and incest were excluded from the ban until about 14 weeks’ gestation and as long as a report is filed with a “qualified law enforcement officer.” In the Senate, the exceptions are until eight weeks’ gestation.

The bill passed by legislators requires physicians to report any abortions they perform to the commissioner of the state’s Bureau for Public Health within 15 days, including a justification for why the care was provided.

On July 25, the state legislature was initially called into a special session to consider Justice’s proposal to reduce personal income tax rates.

But that morning, as lawmakers were gaveling in, Justice amended the call and said he would also be asking lawmakers “to clarify and modernize the abortion-related laws currently existing as part of the West Virginia Code.”

“From the moment the Supreme Court announced their decision in Dobbs, I said that I would not hesitate to call a Special Session once I heard from our Legislative leaders that they had done their due diligence and were ready to act,” Justice said in a statement. “As I have said many times, I very proudly stand for life, and I believe that every human life is a miracle worth protecting.”

Humble Quest arrived in March, and the project’s first single, “Circles Around This Town,” cracked the Top 10 on the country radio charts.

She’s also made headlines in recent weeks for her feud with Jason Aldean’s wife Brittany over Brittany’s transphobic social media comments. Maren launched a t-shirt to commemorate the feud, raising $150,000 to benefit transgender youth causes in the process.

September 14, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Julian Lennon released Jude, his first new studio album in 11 years, this past Friday. Now, the singer/songwriter is taking part in a special streaming event to promote the record, which is set to kick off September 14 at 3 p.m. ET on the LOOPED platform.

During the interactive event titled “Jude: Behind the Album,” Julian — who is John Lennon‘s older son — will be interviewed and will share stories and details about each track on the record.

Fans can view and participate in the Q&A by visiting LoopedLive.com. Tickets for the event are free, but only a limited number are available. The session will also feature giveaways and opportunities to purchase limited-edition merchandise.

Jude is an 11-track collection that Julian says includes songs that “have been in the works for several years, so it almost feels like a coming-of-age album.”

‘Love Is Blind’ season 3 returning to Netflix next month

September 14, 2022 by WDNY Radio

With the release of a new teaser, Netflix has announced its romantic reality show Love Is Blind will return in a month.

The wildly successful reality series — which has already spawned Brazilian and Japanese adaptations — returns for its third season on Oct. 19, it was revealed in the 31-second first look.

While we still don’t know which lucky singles will appear in the Love Is Blind season 3 cast, fans do see glimpses of what to expect throughout the season.

Love Is Blind, hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, starts with men and women meeting one another while speed dating in pods where they can’t see each other — hence the show’s title.

The couples who get engaged in the pods finally meet each other face-to-face before they continue to see if they can make it to the altar and ultimately say “I do.”

Season 1, which aired in 2020, saw two couples — Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton as well as Amber Pike and Matthew Barnett — marry. They’re still together to this day.

Season 2’s couples didn’t fare as well. The season, which aired earlier in 2022, saw two couples — Iyanna McNeely and Jarrette Jones as well as Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson — marry. However, both couples have announced they’re divorcing.
