Miley Cyrus is one of the stars tapped by Gucci to star in the fashion house’s new Love Parade collection, along with Jared Leto, Snoop Dogg, Beanie Feldstein and Lee Jung-jae, the star of Squid Game.

In a lengthy new video ad set to the song “Venus in Furs” by The Velvet Underground, Miley and her co-stars are shown cavorting at a decadent dinner. Or, as Gucci explains, “Portraying the modern myth of cinema through a sequence of obsessions and desires… the stars celebrate the ritual of the banquet, giving themselves to a liberating symposium that slides into the Dionysiac ritual of dancing.”

Miley is pictured wearing “an asymmetrical hat” with “crystal-embellished ears,” as well as white fur jacket, bra and matching black lace thigh-highs, which you can see as she’s carried through the crowd later on in the video.

You can see the full collection at Gucci.com.

Luke Bryan couldn’t be more excited to return to the judges’ table on American Idol. 

On Tuesday, Luke and his fellow judges Lionel Richie and Katy Perry visited Good Morning America to chat about the show’s upcoming season, and how their approach has evolved now that they’ve been working together for five seasons. 

“The more comfortable we get, we know how far we can take it joking with one another. I think the fans at home really they want to see us having fun, they want to feel that we’re enjoying the moment too,” the country star describes. “It’s so fun sitting at that judging table because you never know if the next Jennifer Hudson‘s going to walk in or the next Carrie Underwood, so we got to be on our game.”

In honor of the show’s 20th season, the judges awarded a platinum ticket to one contestant in each city where they held auditions, which allows that contestant to sit out a round during Hollywood week and observe the competition.

“We’ve inadvertently been a little tougher on our platinum ticket holders because they showed out in auditions, and then sometimes they have a bad audition and we’re being a little more critical with them,” Luke teases.

American Idol season 20 premieres on Sunday night at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

The trailer has been released for Evan Rachel Wood‘s Phoenix Rising documentary, in which she details allegations of abuse against Marilyn Manson.

“I’m here today to talk about Brian Warner, also known to the world as Marilyn Manson,” Wood says in the clip.

The preview also shows how Wood’s experience with Warner led to her becoming an advocate for domestic violence survivors, including lobbying for legislation extending the statute of limitations for domestic violence cases. The bill, known as the Phoenix Act, inspired the documentary’s name.

When Wood first spoke in support of the Phoenix Act, including in front of the California Senate in 2019, she did not name her abuser. She publicly accused Warner for the first time in February 2021, writing that he had “horrifically abused [her] for years.”

Later that day, Warner addressed unspecified “recent claims” made about him, which he called “horrible distortions of reality.”

Warner has since been accused of abuse by several more women, including actor Esmé Bianco, model Ashley Morgan Smithline, and Warner’s former assistant, Ashley Walters, all of whom filed lawsuits against him. Warner has denied the allegations.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the allegations Wood makes against Warner in Phoenix Rising include that he drugged and raped her during the filming of his “Heart-Shaped Glasses” music video. Warner’s lawyer denied the claim as “false” and an “imaginative retelling.”

Phoenix Rising premieres on HBO in two parts airing March 15 and 16. It’ll be available in full on HBO Max beginning March 15.

For anyone affected by abuse and needing support, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233, or if you’re unable to speak safely, you can log onto thehotline.org or text LOVEIS to 1-866-331-9474.

Gary Brooker, the lead singer, pianist and main songwriter for the veteran British band Procol Harum, died Saturday, February 19, at the age of 76.

A post on Procol Harum’s website reports that Brooker had been receiving treatment for cancer and passed away at his home. The tribute describes Gary as “a brightly-shining, irreplaceable light in the music industry.”

Brooker co-wrote the vast majority of Procol Harum’s songs, mainly with lyricist Keith Reid, including the band’s signature tune, “A Whiter Shade of Pale.”

Released in 1967, “A Whiter Shade of Pale” was considered one of the anthems of the Summer of Love, peaking at #1 on the U.K. chart and reaching #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. The tune has become one of the most successful singles in history, selling over 10 million copies worldwide.

Procol Harum’s only other major U.S. hit was a 1972 live rendition of the band’s 1967 tune “Conquistador” that was recorded with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and reached #16 on the Hot 100.

Procol Harum was active from 1967 to 1977, and then from 1991 to the present, with Brooker being the band’s only consistent member.

Outside of Procol Harum, Gary also played in Eric Clapton‘s touring band, with Bill Wyman‘s Rhythm Kings and in Ringo Starr‘s All-Starr Band.  He also released a number of solo albums and contributed to various other artists records, including George Harrison‘s All Things Must Pass, Somewhere in England and Gone Troppo, and Clapton’s Another Ticket.

In 2003, Brooker was recognized as a Member of the Order of the British Empire for his charitable services.

Procol Harum’s final album, Novum, was released in 2017.

Gary is survived by his wife of 53 years, Franky. Donations in his name can be made to Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Care.

Billie Eilish once again has put her audience’s needs before her own. While performing at Madison Square Garden over the weekend, the “bad guy” singer encouraged the crowd to “take a breath.”

TMZ obtained video of the moment Billie encouraged the audience to calm down while she was about to launch into another song. “If you want to sit down, you are allowed,” she said while adjusting her guitar, “Go ahead, sit down. Take a breath.”

The Grammy winner also instructed those who had pushed themselves to the front row to “take a step back” and “give everyone some room.” Billie shaded her eyes from the stage lights so she could watch the crowd disperse. “Yeah, there we go,” she praised as the cheering grew quieter and she began an acoustic rendition of “Male Fantasy.”

This isn’t the first time Billie ensured the safety of her audience. She paused another concert earlier this month when a member of the audience needed an inhaler. The “Happier Than Ever” singer had her team rush over the medical device and told the crowd, “It’s okay, we got one. Give her some time. Don’t crowd. Relax, relax, it’s okay. We’re taking care of our people, hold on.”

That incident angered Kanye West, who felt Billie’s remarks were directed atT ravis Scott, who is still reeling from the November Astroworld tragedy, where 10 people died after the crowd surged the stage during his performance. Ye demanded Billie’s apology, saying he needed to hear it before he headlines Coachella later this year.

Billie, who is also a headliner, later responded, “literally never said a thing about travis. was just helping a fan.”

Camila Cabello is getting ready to release her third studio album, Familia, and further hyped up her fan base by unveiling her new single “Bam Bam,” which features Ed Sheeran.

The single is set for a March 4 release, which is the day before Camila’s 25th birthday.  Taking to Instagram, the Grammy nominee shared the single’s official artwork and wrote, “Bam Bam. March 4th with @teddysphotos, one of my favorite people and artists ever.”

In the teaser photo, Camila is sitting on a curb outside of what appears to be a liquor store.  The “Havana” singer, whose face is streaked with running mascara, is dressed in a black letterman jacket, faded jeans and black Converse-like sneakers.  Next to her are two bottles with the corks sticking up, as well as what appears to be a pint of ice cream.

The track marks the third time Camila has teamed with Ed.  The two previously released the 2019 single “South of the Border” with Cardi B, which appeared on Ed’s No.6 Collaborations Project album.  Camila also tapped the “Shivers” singer to help her on “The Boy,” a single Billboard reports was meant for her eponymous debut studio album, but that didn’t make the cut.

“Bam Bam” is due out next Friday, March 4.  A release date for Familia is forthcoming.
