A little boy’s fancy footwork stole the spotlight from Ed Sheeran — during his own concert.
Ed’s official HQ account shared a video Monday of a kid going wild on the dance floor during the Grammy winner’s performance of “Bad Habits.” The kid blends Irish step, break dancing, the robot, some flossing and even a few Michael Jackson poses during the song.
His moves soon attract the attention of other fans in the pit, who begin filming him as he lets loose on the dance floor. Soon, Ed even notices and asks the kid over the microphone to “jump” and “bounce” — to which the boy happily obliges.
“Think it’s about time Ed gets a backup dancer,” Ed Sheeran HQ noted in the caption.
The videos were posted last month by a woman named Michelle Nicol, who took to Twitter and shared even more footage of the dance floor dynamo — this time busting moves to “Shape of You.” She wrote, “My son living his best life at @edsheeran concert last night. Memories that will last forever thank you Ed you was amazing.”
The video ends on a comical note, with the kid exiting the floor to dramatically catch his breath when the song comes to a close.
Nicol also expressed hope that the videos would land on the “Shivers” singer’s radar, so he could see her son’s moves up close — and now, she’s halfway to getting her wish as Ed’s people have caught wind of them.
Moonage Daydream, the first David Bowie documentary to be officially sanctioned by his estate, has gotten a release date.
According to DavidBowie.com and Bowie’s socialmediapages, the film will open on September 16 in IMAX cinemas and other theaters around the world. A new official poster for the flick has also been unveiled.
As previously reported, Moonage Daydream was written and directed by Brett Morgen, whose previous films include The Kid Stays in the Picture, the Rolling Stones documentary Crossfire Hurricane and Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck. The new movie is described as “a sublime kaleidoscopic experiential cinematic odyssey that explores Bowie’s creative, spiritual, and philosophical journey.”
Moonage Daydream will feature Bowie’s own narration and includes unseen footage and performances as well as unheard music. The film includes 47 musical tracks, mixed from the original recordings. David’s longtime friend, collaborator and co-producer Tony Visconti, is serving as the musical producer of the project.
Billboard recently reported that the movie will get its TV premiere on HBO and HBO Max in the spring of 2023.
The first trailer for Moonage Daydream debuted in May. You can watch it now on YouTube.
(NAPLES, Italy) — An American tourist fell into Mount Vesuvius, an active volcano in Italy, after trespassing to take a selfie, officials said.
The 23-year-old man, who dropped his phone and tried to retrieve it after the selfie, fell several meters into the ash of the crater before being saved by nearby park officials on Saturday.
He sustained only minor injuries, officials said.
The man, who has not been named, allegedly walked on an unauthorized path to reach the summit of Mount Vesuvius at 1,281 meters, according to a spokesperson from the Carabinieri of the Forestry department of the Park of Vesuvius.
The spokesperson told ABC News he believes the man went on the unmarked path because tickets for visiting Vesuvius, which cost $2,500 per day, were all booked.
The man had come to the opposite side of the crater, where visitors are not permitted, the spokesperson said.
At around 3 p.m., local news sources reported the park’s volcanological guides had spotted some people on the upper part of the crater, an area forbidden for solo access.
The guides immediately started moving toward the area and were able to come to the man’s rescue after seeing him attempt to retrieve his cellphone, according to Carabinieri’s spokesperson.
The guides also performed first aid on the man’s minor injuries to his legs, arms and back.
According to Carabinieri’s spokesperson, two other Americans, two Brits and one Austrian were with the American man who fell.
Some local sources have reported that there were three family members with him, but the spokesperson believes only one of the other Americans is related to the man who fell.
The Branch of Carabinieri arrived at the scene after the man was rescued, taking him and the others into custody. They were charged with encroachment on public land or land for public use, Italian news reported.
The president of the Volcano Vesuvius Permanent Presidium and Figav-Confesercenti, Paolo Cappelli, told the Corriere Della Sera that he was grateful for the guides’ work.
“[The guides] are always on the crater to safeguard the safety of tourists. So, recognizing the promptness and professionalism shown on this occasion as well seemed the right thing to do,” Cappelli said.
“Having spoken directly with those who provided the rescue, I can safely say that last Saturday on Mount Vesuvius they saved a human life. I officially thank the whole group of guides belonging to the Presidio Permanente Vulcano Vesuvio, always ready and operational in any condition,” Cappelli added.
A spokesperson from the Carabinieri of the Forestry department of the Park of Vesuvius told ABC News that the man could have fallen 300 meters if he wasn’t stopped by the nearby guides.
He said that on the opposite side of the crater, where visitors are permitted, there are barriers around the opening, but where this man was there were none.
According to the spokesperson, it is extremely rare that visitors stray from the authorized path.
He added that he does not think any kind of legal action will be taken against the man, except for a fine.

Ever wonder how Tim McGraw gets his killer physique? Now, he’s giving you with a behind-the-scenes look at his mobile gym!
Performing live every night onstage is workout enough, but even before he takes the stage, Tim engages in a rigorous physical regimen that results in rock hard abs and muscles. He uses medicine balls, a punching bag and a Torque Push Sled to help build muscle.
A video shows the country superstar running with the sled in the parking lot on one of his tour stops, trucking past all the tour buses, in addition to doing chin-ups on the side of the bus. Tim also brings a full-on gym with him on the road that includes a treadmill and squat rack.
“I’ve always been involved in fitness. I’ve always tried to take care of myself,” Tim previously shared with Men’s Journal. ”When I really got serious about fitness, I thought it would be a cool world to be in.”
Tim’s on-tour workout also includes a 30-minute walk on the treadmill, stretching, yoga and body weights.
Those “six degrees of Kevin Bacon” are about to get a lot shorter for contestants on a forthcoming quiz show.
ABC Audio has confirmed the famously-connected actor will headline and co-produce Lucky 13, from the creators of the one-time phenomenon Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?
Billed as a “60-minute high-stakes general knowledge” show with the “simplicity of Millionaire,” the Studio 1-produced show will air all over the world, with the actor hosting in some international English-speaking markets.
Calling it “addictive fun,” in a statement, Bacon noted, “I played the game and I was hooked. It’s not only about how much you know, but it’s also about how much you think you know…”
The show’s creators, Claudia Rosencrantz and Adrian Woolfe, dreamt up Millionaire and brought it to just about every country on the planet; Famously, it was a five-night-a-week ratings juggernaut for ABC in the late ’90s, with the late Regis Philbin hosting.
Woolfe explains, “It’s hard to believe that it’s 24 years since we launched Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? It feels like the right time for quiz to enjoy its time in the spotlight once again…”
He added, “Whilst I would not wish to make a direct comparison between the two formats, there’s an engaging simplicity and magnetic tension to Lucky 13 that I hope will keep viewers hooked and on the edge of their seats.”
After reports surfaced Monday morning that Meek Mill parted ways with Roc Nation management, the rapper joined the conversation to clarify the news.
He kicked off his series of tweets Monday afternoon by shedding light on recent probation reform advancements achieved in Florida and citing the work of the Reform Alliance — a nonprofit organization created with Roc Nation founder, Jay-Z.
Meek then addressed the departure rumors.
“All I seen today was meek and roc part ways,” he wrote. “…I’m personally handling my own business so I can take risk and grow ..we came to that agreement together..I have a label deal with roc for my artist and I got reform super tied with them and many other investments wit jigga”
In follow-up tweets, Meek expanded upon his grievances with Atlantic Records — to which he says he’s been signed since 2014 — clarifying the difference between the music label and Roc, his management.
“And roc nation is my family don’t mix my post aimed at Atlantic mixed up with roc or MMG,” he said “…they ain’t stop nothing I’m doing we made about a 100m together des mike and Hov saved my life b4 And put a lot of energy into it I’m not behind on my favors in life wit my people I’m good.”
The Philly native says he “only made 11m on records out of like a 100m..” and “only could drop every 9 months.”
Despite his continued label woes, Meek ended off by tweeting a message of confidence and optimism.
“Luckily I built my money and resources up they woulda starved me out…. Ima make that 11 million dollars one project … s**t might be sponsored by a bank or one of my friends! Let’s see what happens lol,” he wrote.
Tyler Hubbard has been added to Keith’s The Speed of Now World Tour as an opening act, joining previously announced opener, Ingrid Andress.
Tyler, who recently launched his solo career after a decade as a member of Florida Georgia Line, will hop on the tour in the fall, beginning on September 3 at The Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California and wrapping up his run on November 4 at the Peoria Civic Center in Illinois.
“I’m psyched that my brutha Tyler Hubbard is going to come out and join Ingrid [Andress] and me on the fall leg of my Speed of Now World Tour,” Keith says in a statement. “It’s going to be a blast!”
“To be asked to be on that tour with them is incredible. I can’t wait to get out, play some new songs for you guys, hang out and share a stage with Keith and Ingrid,” Tyler raves in a video, praising Keith as one of his “longtime heroes and good buddies.” “I’m super excited, can’t wait to see you guys on the road.”
Tyler also announced that he has a new song called “Way Home” dropping on Friday. His latest single, “5 Foot 9,” is climbing up the charts, currently at #20.
Zack de la Rocha channeled his inner Dave Grohl during Rage Against the Machine‘s concert in Chicago Monday after suffering an apparent leg injury.
According to Consequence.net, de la Rocha left the stage with the help of a few crew members toward the beginning of the show. When he returned, he spent the rest of the concert seated on an onstage monitor.
Consequence also posted a video of the very end of the show, which sees de la Rocha hugging each of his bandmates while still sitting down. Eventually, two crew members arrived and literally swept him off his feet, carrying him backstage while he gave the peace sign to the crowd.
Rage hasn’t made any public statements about de la Rocha’s condition, but if it’s serious enough, maybe he’ll be the latest artist to make use of Grohl’s throne. The Foo Fighters frontman brought the giant, guitar-adorned structure on tour in 2015 after breaking his leg during a show in Sweden earlier that year, which he finished despite the gruesome injury.
Grohl has previously lent the throne to Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose during his tour with AC/DC.
Rage’s Chicago show was just the second date on the band’s much-anticipated reunion tour, which kicked off last weekend following a two-year pandemic delay. The outing, which marks the “Killing in the Name” outfit’s first live shows in 11 years, continues Tuesday with another show in Chicago.
Wendy Williams is open to finding love again, but that doesn’t mean she sees wedding bells in the future.
“I can’t wait to fall in love,” the Wendy Williams Show star told HollywoodLife. “However, there’s no money in getting married, so I will never get married again. But to fall in love, I’ll probably have to go through 40 or 50 men before I find the right one.”
And, when it comes to the right one, Wendy shared, “He’s got to make more money than me…I know what I want.”
Wendy was married to Kevin Hunter for over 20 years before filing for divorce in April 2019. They share one son — 21-year-old Kevin Hunter Jr.
