Stage and screen star Beanie Feldstein just posted to Instagram some good news: She’s engaged to girlfriend Bonnie Chance Roberts.
Alongside a shot showing Roberts on bended knee, with the Funny Girl star covering her mouth in surprise, Beanie noted, “I do, bon.”
Other photos in the series show Feldstein and Roberts celebrating the moment along with friends, including Ben Platt and Beanie’s beaming brother, Jonah Hill.
Feldstein, who recently portrayed Monica Lewinsky in the miniseries Impeachment: American Crime Story, has been with Roberts for four years. They met in 2018 when Roberts was a producer on Beanie’s film with Lily Allen and Jameela Jamil called How to Build a Girl.

Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine briefly speaks on founding bassist David Ellefson‘s departure from the band in a new interview with Rolling Stone.
Ellefson, who formed Megadeth with Mustaine in 1983, was fired from the group in May 2021 after sexually explicit videos of him leaked online. Since the tweet announcing Ellefson’s departure, Mustaine has not publicly commented much on the situation, aside from revealing that Ellefson’s bass parts on the new Megadeth album would be re-recorded by someone else.
Speaking now with Rolling Stone, Mustaine shares, “With everything that had taken place over the past, 10, 20 years with my relationship with our past bass player, it just became time to…it’s so uncomfortable for me to talk about.”
Ellefson was previously absent from Megadeth when Mustaine reformed the band in 2004, which led to a legal battle between the two. He eventually rejoined the group in 2010.
When Ellefson was fired last year, he alluded to an “already strained relationship” between him and his now-former bandmate.
“It was hard on me letting him go,” Mustaine now says, adding “I’m happier now than I’ve ever been.”
Megadeth’s new album The Sick, the Dying…and the Dead! will be released September 2. The parts that Ellefson had already recorded for the album were replaced by Testament bassist Steve Di Giorgio. Megadeth has since recruited returning member James LoMenzo to be the band’s official new bassist.
A good chunk of Luke Combs’ catalog is devoted to beer-drinking and small-town party anthems, but his latest single, “The Kind of Love We Make,” is a little bit steamy.
The new track — off Luke’s Growin’ Up album, which comes out tomorrow — describes finally finding some time alone with your significant other. But Luke says that the first time he played it for his wife, Nicole, her reaction wasn’t nearly so romantic.
“She was like, ‘Geez,’ and she gave me one of those eye rolls,” Luke tells Billboard.
The singer quickly adds that it wasn’t as if he was expecting Nicole to swoon when she heard the sexy new love song. The couple has a relaxed, fun-loving dynamic, he says, that’s more about humor and having fun than it is about high-drama romance.
“We have a great relationship and we’re totally not afraid to make fun of each other either. We get a lot of laughs out of stuff like that,” Luke continues. “She’s great. She just takes everything with a grain of salt. She keeps me humble, let’s put it that way.”
The couple is currently celebrating the birth of their first child, a son named Tex Lawrence, who arrived on Father’s Day.
Kelly Clarkson tackled Demi Lovato‘s heart-wrenching ballad “Anyone” on her daytime talk show on Wednesday, and Demi could hardly hold back their excitement.
Taking to their Instagram Story, the Grammy nominee raved, “A dream come true!” Demi continued, “Grew up singing to Kelly Clarkson and now she’s covering my song… You crushed this Kelly!! Love you!!”
Demi previously revealed they penned the single as an unknowing “cry for help” amid their addiction struggles in 2018. Four days after recording the track, Demi suffered a near-fatal overdose. They ultimately chose to release the personal single on their seventh studio album, Dancing with the Devil… the Art of Starting Over.
Demi also took a stroll down memory lane in their Instagram Stories to prove just how long they’ve admired the American Idol winner. Sharing a throwback video from when they were a young teenager, Demi wrote, “Me covering Kelly Clarkson at 13/14 ish. Life long fan.”
The song Demi was covering back then was Kelly’s 2003 single “The Trouble With Love Is.”

Jeff Beck has released a new instrumental version of the 1966 Beach Boys gem “Caroline, No” as the latest advance track from 18, his upcoming collaborative album with actor/rocker Johnny Depp, which is due out digitally and on CD July 15.
The track is available now via digital formats, while a companion music video featuring footage of Beck playing the song live in concert has debuted on his official YouTube channel.
“Caroline, No” was the final song that appeared on The Beach Boys’ lauded 1966 album, Pet Sounds.
“That entire album was great support for me in horrible times,” Beck notes. “I’d left the Yardbirds and regretted it because I had nothing. I was back living with my mum and dad. I thought, right, I’m not going sit around doing nothing. So, I bought a stereo and Pet Sounds, and I was just riveted to the spot. I remember it was a great big cure from losing the Yardbirds, having Jimi Hendrix stomp all over things, and losing my girlfriend. All that happened in what seemed like the same day.”
As previously reported, 18, which can be preordered now, is a 13-track collection that features two songs written by Depp alongside 11 covers, including tunes by The Miracles, Marvin Gaye, The Everly Brothers and the aforementioned Lennon, Beach Boys and Velvet Underground.
Beck is currently on tour in Europe, and Depp has been joining him as a special guest at each stop of the trek.

“I’ve lived a lot of life, and I’m still here,” EGOT-winner Jennifer Hudson begins in brand-new promo for her forthcoming talk show.
“Now it’s time to sit down and have some fun. I want to talk to somebody!”
The Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and now-Tony winner teases, “Nothing makes me happier than to see everybody shine, and know that they have a light within them.”
She enthuses, “On The Jennifer Hudson Show, you’re gonna get quality, you’re gonna get honesty, you’re gonna get all of my heart — and don’t forget the fun. You’re gonna get a lot of fun!
The quick teaser shows a studio audience going wild for the star-turned-host, who sings back to them in response, “I love you, too!”
The show premieres in syndication nationwide on September 12.
Lil Nas X is about to drop his incendiary track “Late to Da Party” and unleashed brand new promo to further hype fans for the NBA Youngboy collab.
The Grammy winner parodied Star Wars for an all-new teaser, which made it abundantly clear the song is a full-on diss of the 2022 BET Awards. “NBA Youngboyis on house arrest, trapped on the isolated Planet HATU. The Brutal Empire of Terror (BET) has betrayed LIL NAS X, turning their back on him after using him for clout,” the opening scroll reads.
“With the music industry in turmoil, the galaxy is looking for a hero. NAS must use the ancient power of VIDEO EDITING to free YB and defeat the evil BET before time runs out…,” the trailer continues.
Lil Nas X began beefing with BET after he failed to snag a single nod this year despite the success of his debut album, Montero, whichproduced several hit singles. Among those who did score a nod was his “Industry Baby” collaborator, Jack Harlow.
“How can i get acknowledged by the most acclaimed award show in the world and then not even just 1 nomination from my own people? is that not crazy? am i really tripping,” Lil Nas X previously said on Twitter. He noted Montero scored him five Grammy nods and won him several other prestigious honors, including an American Music Award, Billboard Music Award and others — which made the snub to him all the more suspect.
He also revealed why he’s taking a stand, adding, “this not over no bet award 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.”
If you’ve been on the fence about catching a show during Luke Bryan’s current residency at Resorts World Las Vegas, a new sneak peek video into the show just might change your mind.

One of the bonus tracks included on the deluxe is the 2019 single “Why Are You Here,” which was one of MGK’s first guitar-driven songs. It signaled his move from rap to rock, which became official with his 2020 album, Tickets to My Downfall.
