Iggy Pop and Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe guest on a new song from the metal band ONI.
The track, titled “Secrets,” features the Godfather of Punk giving a spooky, spoken-word rendition of the chorus while Blythe delivers his signature growling vocals.
“Secrets” is available now via digital outlets, and will be included on the upcoming ONI album Loathing Light, due out June 17. Both Pop and Blythe also appear in the “Secrets” video, which is streaming now on YouTube.
Pop, who just celebrated his 75th birthday last week, collaborated with Måneskin last summer on a new version of the buzzy Italian band’s single “I Wanna Be Your Slave.” Blythe and Lamb of God, meanwhile, teamed up with Dave Mustaine earlier this month for a new recording of Megadeth‘s “Wake Up Dead” to promote their Metal Tour of the Year.
It’s no secret Justin Bieber adores babies and wants a family of his own, but for now he’s content with cuddling his friends’ newborns.
In a series of sweet snaps, the “Ghost” singer is seen bonding with friend Jason Kennedy‘s baby boy, Ryver Rhodes. “LOVE YOU RYVER 4 LIFE I WILL PROTECT YOU!,” Justin captioned the photos of the two cuddling on the couch.
Justin then returned with more photos that showed him grinning as he bottle fed the infant. “More pictures of me and mister RYVER RHODES KENNEDY,” he captioned the pic.
Kennedy previously designated Justin as Ryver’s uncle and it appears the “Peaches” singer is taking his new title very seriously.
As for when Justin and wife Hailey Bieber will have kids of their own, the two have refused to provide a timeline. The couple wed in 2018 and have been open about their desire to have kids, which has caused them to weather pregnancy rumors now and again — most recently following the 2022 Grammy Awards, when Hailey wore a flowing white Saint Laurent dress to the event. The dress’ loose fit sparked rumors that Hailey was hiding a baby bump, but the model shut down the rumors.
Justin previously said he’s “not in a rush” to start a family and his comments were supported by Hailey’s recent interview with WSJ, in which she remarked, “I think ideally in the next couple of years we would try. But there’s a reason they call it try, right? You don’t know how long that process is ever going to take.”

If you want to take an “Escapade” through one of Janet Jackson‘s homes, you’re in luck. She just listed her sprawling apartment in New York City for a cool $9 million.
Mansion Global reports the upscale 34th-floor property is located on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, and offers breathtaking, panoramic views of the city skyline an Central Park, thanks to its floor-to-ceiling windows. The spacious, 2,094 square foot apartment comes with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one half bath.
The residence also includes a marble bath, walk-in closets, a library, gourmet kitchen, two entrances designed for entertaining and an open concept living space.
The perks continue with the building itself. It’s attached to the Trump International Hotel, which offers a state-of-the-art gym, spa, swimming pool, housekeeping services, 24-hour room service from French chef Jean-Georges, valet parking, concierge, and a full-time doorman.
“Whenever entering my apartment of 25 years, I always treasured my home’s wonderful location and the breathtaking views that capture the magic and excitement of New York,” Janet’s quoted in the listing as saying. “Stepping through its threshold instantly made me feel so tranquil and at peace — so many memories.”
The “All For You” singer purchased the apartment in 1998 for $2.8 million but she hasn’t lived in it since 2019, so she put it on the market for $8.995 million. The reason Janet decided to part with her home is because “it’s time for someone else to enjoy it and make new memories,” her spokesperson said.
In a strongly-worded letter to Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza, lawyers representing Halyna Hutchins‘ widower, Matthew, and young son Andros slammed Mendoza’s office for its release Monday of information related to the Rust investigation.
As reported Monday, the office released a trove of materials related to the fatal shooting of the cinematographer on the film’s set in October, including interviews with Alec Baldwin, who fired the fatal shot, as well as graphic footage of the attempts to save Hutchins’ life.
“Your office trampled on the constitutional rights over the Hutchins [family],” the attorneys’ letter reads, in part. “Your office promised to allow Mr. Hutchins to review the materials being publicly released in advance of their dissemination to the press…It failed to give the Hutchins [family] the dignity and privacy the New Mexico constitution affords them.”
Further, the letter asserts “The first time Mr. Hutchins saw the disturbing and unsettling video footage of his dying wife laying on the church floor was on Radar Online, an Internet website. A greater respect for the Hutchins’ constitutional rights would not have allowed this video footage to be released.”
“The potential consequences are disturbing given how information is misused on social media,” the attorneys argue. “We fear for example that this shocking footage of Andros’ mother dying may be material used by bullies to emotionally abuse him in the future.”
The attorneys also claim what’s “most troubling” is that the release of the material wasn’t legally required, they say.
The letter concludes with a demand that the sheriff’s office respects the Hutchins family’s “constitutional rights of dignity, privacy, respect, and fairness going forward,” as well as remove the video footage of Halyna.
“While the damage of publishing that video is irreparable, taking down the video will end your office’s complicity in causing further harm,” reads the letter.

The updated collection, features 80 tracks, 50 more than the original version, including classic hits and deeper cuts spanning from the group’s 1962 debut album, Surfin’ Safari, through 1989’s Still Cruisin’.
The track list boasts nearly every top-40 single that the band released, including “California Girls,” “I Get Around,” “Surfer Girl,” “Surfin’ U.S.A.,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “Help Me, Rhonda,” “God Only Knows,” “Good Vibrations” and “Kokomo.” Newly added songs include such gems as “Feel Flows,” “Sail On Sailor” and “Surf’s Up.”

The collection, which can be pre-ordered now, will be available as a three-CD set, digitally and as a six-LP vinyl package. A limited-edition, numbered version of the vinyl collection will feature a rainbow foil slipcase and four lithographs.
A remastered version of the original 30-track compilation also will be released, on CD and as a two-LP set.
In advance of the reissue’s arrival, a new stereo mix of “Good Vibrations” has been made available as a digital single.
The Beach Boys also are planning to release an archival multi-disc set this fall that delves into two of the band’s early-’70s albums — 1972’s Carl and the Passions — “So Tough” and 1973’s Holland.
Lil Nas X just announced his world tour and teased that an unexpected quartet might be joining him on the global trek — The Wiggles.
The “Industry Baby” revealed his plans on Twitter to recruit the superstar Australian children’s music group, writing, “trying really hard to get the wiggles to coheadline the tour with me. i will keep you guys updated.”
Looks like all Lil Nas X had to do was ask, because The Wiggles quickly re-tweeted Lil Naz X’s comment, and responded, “We’re ready to wiggle with you!” They even included a yellow, purple, blue and red heart emoji to symbolize each member of the group — Anthony Field, Lachlan Gillespie, Simon Pryce and Tsehay Hawkins.
The Grammy winner shared a screenshot of their exchange and shared a meme picture of a man smiling in a pool with the words “Smiling through it all! Can’t believe this my life” in bold letters.
So, does this mean we will see a Lil Nas X and The Wiggles on the stage together? We’ll have to wait and see.
As previously reported, the Long Live Montero Tour will span North America and Europe, beginning September 6 at Detroit’s The Fillmore. From there, Lil Nas X will visit Chicago, Nashville, Los Angeles and many other cities before wrapping his North American trek in San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on October 23. His European trek runs November 8 through November 17.
Esmé Bianco has filed an amended complaint in her ongoing lawsuit against Brian Warner, aka Marilyn Manson, alleging that he put a stop to a planned collaboration she had with Deftones.
In the document, which was obtained by Rolling Stone, Bianco’s lawyers write that she took part in a video shoot for Deftones to provide images of herself that would be used in the production for the band’s ongoing international tour. She posted about the collaboration in her Instagram Story on April 12 with the “approval from the creative director.”
However, Bianco alleges that when Warner found out about her working with Deftones, he “proceeded to contact the band and confront them over Deftones’ decision to work with Ms. Bianco.”
“Defendant Warner used his power and influence in the entertainment industry to interfere with Ms. Bianco’s ability to continue working with the Deftones,” the complained reads. “Defendant Warner’s actions were intended to cause the contract with Ms. Bianco to be breached by the Deftones when they refused to utilize her images.”
Bianco says she was then informed that Deftones decided not to use her images for the tour “due to Mr. Warner’s inference,” resulting in “loss of the opportunity to work with a the highly regarded creative director” and “loss of exposure from her images being used during the Deftones’ world tour.”
In a statement to Rolling Stone, Bianco says, “By continuing to threaten my career opportunities, Warner again demonstrates that even amidst criminal investigation and civil litigation he will stop at nothing in an attempt to silence his victims.”
A rep for Deftones declined to comment to Rolling Stone. Warner’s rep also did not respond.
As previously reported, Bianco — an actor know for her work on Game of Thrones — is suing Warner for sexual assault. Warner has denied the allegations.
