After a four-year wait, DNCE fans can finally watch an all-new music video from Joe Jonas‘ band.  They dropped their first new single “Dancing Feet” on Friday and, on Monday, followed up with its companion visual.

“Dancing Feet,” which features DJ Kygo, adopts a retro-vibe with the fashion the band rocks throughout the music video.  The quartet works for the ultra wealthy at The Palm Tree Resort and run errands all day, such as parking people’s cars, playing tennis with them and supplying the music for a raging party.  The group then blows off some steam from another hard day’s work by sneaking into an exclusive club and dancing the night away on a light up floor.

The single marks DNCE’s first since 2018 and Kygo’s first song of 2022.  As for why the two joined efforts on the funk-fueled collaboration, the band explained in a press release, “We first met Kygo when we did some shows together in 2016. We’re excited to collab with him for the first time on ‘Dancing Feet’ and share this song with the world and lean into our funk & disco influences.”

Kygo added in his own statement, “Joe and I met years ago in Las Vegas and have wanted to find the right song to work on together for a while” and said he knew “Dancing Feet” was “a special song” when he started working on it. He adds of shooting the song’s visual, “It was also great to have the chance to shoot a fun music video in Miami with DNCE and perform the song with them during Super Bowl weekend.”

“Dancing Feet” is available to stream and purchase now.

Tyler Perry’s newest project, A Madea Homecominghit number one on Netflix this past weekend.

In a Sunday Instagram post, Perry, the creator and star of the Madea franchise, expressed his gratitude for the accomplishment and shared an image of the film sitting in the top spot that day. 

“Well!! Y’all still got this old broad’s back!! What a blessing after all these years. Still number one!” the post read.

In the comedy film, released on Feb. 25, Madea welcomes her family who all come to town to celebrate her great-grandson’s graduation from college. But in Madea-like fashion, turmoil arises, threatening the happy homecoming.

Perry welcomed back many of the franchise veterans for the movie, like Tamela and David Mann, who play Cora and Mr. Brown.

“We’ve worked together for so many years on so many projects. We feel like family, like we were all born to the same family,” Perry said in a press release.

The film marks Perry’s 12th appearance as the crazy, outgoing, never-afraid-to-speak-her-mind Madea. It was 17 years ago on the release day of A Madea Homecoming, that his first-ever film, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, was released — something Perry also noted in his Instagram post, adding, “Wow! What a run. What a blessing.”

The multi-hyphenate entertainer recently wrapped up his Madea’s Farewell Play tour in an effort to say goodbye to the franchise. From the looks and success of A Madea Homecoming, it may be much longer before the end of America’s beloved Black auntie.  “Hallelujer!”

Jason + Brittany Aldean’s daughter Navy is older than her big brother, “in a sense,” due to an IVF technicality

Jason and Brittany Aldean are proud parents to two adorable toddlers, four-year-old Memphis and three-year-old Navy. But although Navy’s the baby of the family, she’s technically older than her big brother, Brittany explains.

That’s because both kids were conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF), as the couple struggled with infertility as a result of Brittany’s endometriosis.

The first of two rounds of IVF yielded five embryos, one male and four female. “I was set on having a boy first, so we transferred the one boy we had and he didn’t implant,” Brittany shares.

So they went for round two of IVF, producing two male embryos. The first once again did not implant, but the third and final male embryo resulted in Brittany’s pregnancy with Memphis.

For their second child, the couple implanted one of the embryos from the first round of IVF, “and were immediately pregnant with Navy,” Brittany continues.

“Sooooo…in a sense, she’s older, right?” the singer’s wife sums up, along with a mind-blown emoji.

No matter who’s technically older, one thing’s for sure: Both the Aldean tots are adorable. The two kids frequently appear in the pictures Brittany posts to social media, and Memphis even occasionally makes an appearance onstage at his famous dad’s concerts.

Eddie Vedder‘ ssolo concert Los Angeles last Friday featured a special appearance from The Police drummer Stewart Copeland.

The Pearl Jam frontman invited Copeland on stage for the show’s encore, which included a ramshackle cover of The Police’s “Message in a Bottle” — “Still practicing,” Vedder quipped at one point — and a closing performance of Neil Young‘s “Rockin’ in the Free World.”

Copeland’s guest spot allowed Red Hot Chili PeppersChad Smith, who’s been Vedder’s drummer for the tour, to take a breather during “Message in a Bottle,” but he returned to the stage to play guitar on “Rockin’ in the Free World.”

Fan-shot footage of the performance is streaming now on YouTube.

Vedder’s tour, which launched earlier this month in support of his new Earthling solo album, concluded Sunday in San Diego. For the run, Vedder was joined by his Earthlings solo band, which included Smith, ex-RHCP guitarist and current Pearl Jam touring member Josh Klinghoffer, Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney, singer-songwriter Glen Hansard, and producer and guitarist Andrew Watt.

Camila Cabello‘s fans have all the proof they need that her new song, “BAM BAM,” is about her breakup with Shawn Mendes.  The Grammy nominee shared a clip of her upcoming single and it contains some hard-to-miss references about her ex.

Taking to TikTok on Sunday, Camila shared a video of her watching her feet as they walk across the pavement and grass as her new song plays.  “You said you hated the ocean but you’re surfin’ now/ I said I’d love you for life but I just sold our house/ We were kids at the start, I guess we’re grown ups now/ Couldn’t even imagine even having doubts/ But not everything works out,” the melancholy song begins over a the gentle strum of a guitar.

Camila continues singing as the intensity swells, “Now I’m out dancing with strangers/ You could be casually dating/ Damn, it’s all changing so fast” and ends with her proclaiming “Así es la vida si,” which translates to “That’s life, yes,” in English.

Fans were quick to dissect the lyrics and noted that after Camila and Shawn announced their breakup, the “Stitches” singer shared photos of himself on the beach.  In reference to the house she sold, the “Havana” singer parted ways with her Hollywood Hills villa in December for a cool $4.3 million.

“BAM BAM,” which arrives Friday and features Ed Sheeran, appears to be Camila’s official response to Shawn’s breakup anthem, “It’ll Be Okay,” which he released a few weeks after the two parted ways in November. after dating for two years.

Andrew Garfield has a laugh at Tom Holland nearly spoiling ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’

(SPOILER WARNING) “Tom’s a really bad liar.” That’s what fellow Brit, and fellow Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield had to say about Tom Holland, during a recent interview with BBC Radio regarding the very moment that Holland nearly spoiled the movie’s rumored multiverse-mashing three Spider-Man plot. 

While sitting down with Garfield, host Ali Plumb showed an older clip from his interview with Holland and Zendaya, when her boyfriend accidentally gave away that it wasn’t he who saves her character MJ in a key No Way Home moment.

“It was quite a scary stunt,” Holland said about MJ’s scaffolding fall, “It looked great — I wasn’t there, of course.”

Plumb recalls trying to work out in his head what Holland meant: “‘If he’s not there, how does he save…?'”

The host emphasized the seconds after Holland said it, and in hindsight, the panic is evident. “You can see moment when [Tom’s] soul left his body,” Plumb says, to which Garfield — the Spidey who actually does the saving in the scene — laughs hysterically. 

“God, bless him,” Garfield says. “I love him. Never change,” he advised his co-star.  

Incidentally, Garfield also chatted about the lengths he went to to keep it quiet that his pal Charlie Cox was also in the film as Matt Murdock/Daredevil — including booking two tables in the dark corner of an Atlanta restaurant, and conversing next to each other while “staring at the wall.”

Spider-Man: No Way Home swings home on digital March 22 and on 4K UHD & Blu-ray on April 12.

Green Day has canceled the band’s upcoming concert in Moscow due to Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

“With heavy hearts, in light of current events we feel it is necessary to cancel our upcoming show in Moscow at Spartak Stadium,” the punk trio writes in an Instagram Story.

“We are aware that this moment is not about stadium rock shows, it’s much bigger than that,” the statement continues. “But we also know that rock and roll is forever and we feel confident there will be a time and a place for us to return in the future.”

The Moscow concert was scheduled to take place in May, ahead of the European leg of Green Day’s Hella Mega tour with Fall Out Boy and Weezer, launching in June.

Ukraine meets with Russia at Belarus border

(NEW YORK) — Delegations from Ukraine and Russia held talks Monday morning on Belarus’ border in an attempt to end Moscow’s invasion as Russian troops continue to attack.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreed to send a delegation to meet with Russian negotiators during a phone call Sunday with Belarus’ authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s president’s office announced.

The two sides began talks Monday at the Pripyat River on the border, north of Chernobyl, the spokesperson said, an area that is currently under Russian military control. The Russian delegation includes officials from Russia’s foreign and defense ministries as well as the presidential administration.

Ukraine has said the key issue for the talks is an immediate ceasefire and the withdrawal of Russian troops. Russia has signaled it wants to discuss Ukraine adopting “neutral status.”

The Ukrainian delegation included David Arahamiya, a member of the Servant of the People political faction; Oleksiy Reznikov, the minister of Defense of Ukraine; Mykhailo Podoliak, an adviser to the head of the presidential office; Andriy Kostin, the first deputy dead of the Ukrainian Delegation to the Tripartite Contact Group; Rustem Umerov, a member of the Parliament of Ukraine; and Deputy Foreign Minister Mykola Tochytsky.

Russia’s delegation includes officials from the foreign and defense ministries and presidential administration.

The talks are the first between the two sides since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched the invasion on Thursday, but Zelenskyy, in a televised address, said he had little hope of a breakthrough.

“I will be honest, as always: I do not really believe in the outcome of this meeting, but let them try,” Zelenskyy said.

He added that if there was a “chance” to end the war, he should take part in the talks.

Ukraine had earlier rejected a proposal from Russia to hold the talks in the southern Belarusian city of Gomel, on the grounds that Belarus is directly involved in Russia’s attack, having hosted the Russian invasion force that is now moving south on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv and letting Russia fire missiles from its territory.

The Kremlin has signaled it wants to hold talks where Zelenskyy will discuss “neutral status” for Ukraine, in effect hoping to negotiate Kyiv’s terms of surrender. But Zelenskyy’s administration has said while it wants talks to end the killing in Ukraine, it will not make concessions.

“We will not surrender, we will not capitulate, we will not give up a single inch of our territory,” Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s foreign minister, said at a press conference.

While brokering the meeting, Zelenskyy said Lukashenko has promised that no missiles or aircraft would carry out strikes on Ukraine while the negotiations were underway. But in an unpromising sign for the talks, Ukrainian officials said Belarus had launched at least two Iskander ballistic missiles at Ukraine on Sunday after the agreement to meet was reached.

It was also Lukasheko who suggested that Russian and Ukrainian delegations meet at the Belarus-Ukraine border, Zelenskyy said, adding that though he is not optimistic a resolution will be reached, he does not want there to be any doubt that he did not try to stop the war.

The diplomatic effort came as Russian troops continued to try to press their attack in Ukraine but faced a fierce defense from Ukrainian forces. In Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, in the country’s northeast, Ukrainian defenders succeeded in beating back Russian units during street fighting.

The momentum of Russian forces in Ukraine appears to have been slowed by fuel and logistics shortages, as well as “stiff resistance,” a U.S. senior defense official told ABC News on Sunday.

The official also credited the slowdown of the Russian invasion to resistance by Ukraine.

With a production dogged by the pandemic, and an injury to its 79-year-old lead, Harrison Ford, franchise producer Frank Marshall revealed over the weekend that the fifth Indiana Jones movie has finished production. 

In a tweet that was re-tweeted by director James Mangold, Marshall displayed a crew hat reading “Indy,” in that unmistakable slanted Raiders of the Lost Ark font. “That’s a wrap!” he declared.

Last August, Mangold tweeted that the production hadn’t been severely affected by a fight scene snag that left Ford with an injured shoulder, seemingly throwing water on reports that it had left the shoot “in chaos.”

Indiana Jones 5 was initially slated to hit theaters July 9 of 2021, but was pushed back to July 29, 2022 over pandemic concerns, and recently moved again to a June 30, 2023 opening date.

The as-yet-untitled fifth Indy adventure also stars Mads MikkelsenPhoebe Waller-BridgeShaunette Renée Wilson, and Boyd Holbrook.

The film is being produced by Lucasfilm, which is owned by Disney, parent company of ABC News.
