With the release of “From Now On” short-term on Instagram, SHINee’s official Japanese Twitter account jumped aboard a fan-led initiative to use the song’s title as a hashtag to talk about everything they love about the Korean boy band.: JAY-Z's docuseries, Rest In Power: The Trayvon Martin Story, is set to premiere this year at the Tribeca Film Festival.
While the festival is mostly known for debuting films, there are several TV series that will premiere there this year, including Jay's. The six-part docuseries is said to be a “definitive look at one of the most talked-about, controversial events of the last decade," EW reports. The docuseries is based on the book, Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin, which was co-written by Martin's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, who also serve as executive producers on the television project. JAY-Z is also an executive producer along with Julia Willoughby Nason, Nick Sandow, Chachi Senior, Jenner Furst and Michael Gasparro. In addition to the screening, Martin's parents will speak to the audience. Jay has long had a relationship with the parents of the the teen, who was killed by George Zimmerman back in 2012. Zimmerman was found not guilty, even though Martin didn't have a weapon. HIs death is viewed as the major catalyst of the Black Lives Matter Movement. Back in February Jay spoke at the sixth annual Peace Walk & Peace Talk held in Miami, which was created in Trayvon's honor. “We want to make sure that we stand and support and we never forget [that] Trayvon serves as a beacon of light to the people out here, so you guys never have to go through the pain and hurt that these guys went through,” he told the rapt crowd. “His name will sit alongside some of the greats whom lost their life to push our culture forward - the Martin Luther Kings, the Ghandis; that’s the intention that we set, that his name serves as a beacon of light and hope, and pushes us into a better direction.” For more info on the Tribeca screening visit the site.

He announced on March 20 that "In My Blood" was dropping soon, and said new additional material will come to light on the 23. He also famously posted a shirtless Instagram post in February that insisted 'Album come soon.' On Tuesday (March 20) it was announced that *NSYNC will be receiving a star on the legendary Walk of Fame in Hollywood on April 30, aka "It's Gonna Be May Day." And now it's confirmed that Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick will all be in attendance for the ceremony.
Once the news was made public, fans took to Twitter to ask about a possible reunion. "Will ALL *NSYNC members be there?" one eager fan asked, to which the boy band's official account responded, "Yes we will!" The last time the five members were seen publicly together was in 2013, when they served as ushers at Kirkpatrick's wedding. However, anyone who thinks this reunion could mean new music in the future, don't get your hopes up. Long before the Walk of Fame Star ceremony date was set, Bass crushed the dreams of fans by tweeting "Just to clarify. If people want to call the Walk Of Fame Star a 'reunion' then fine, but we have no plans on making any new music or tour." Ariana Grande’s One Love Manchester benefit concert drew together dozens of music superstars and raised more than $9 million for the Red Cross in the wake of tragedy.

The One Love Manchester fundraiser, which aired June 4, 2017 on the BBC and was broadcast live internationally as well as online via YouTube and Facebook, was organized by Grande after the May 22, 2017 Manchester Arena bombing that killed 22 people and injured hundreds more. One Love Manchester was held at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground and attended by more than 50,000 people. The event featured performances from Grande, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Pharrell, Take That, Little Mix and more. The BAFTA TV Awards will take place on April 22 and will be streamed on YouTube. Sia and David Guetta are back together for an electronic pop ballad called "Flames."

She’s a great songwriter and has an amazing voice. I’m just super excited that we get to release another track together," says Guetta. BTS of Aubrey O'Day's Topless Music Video About Alleged Affair With Donald Trump Jr. Just Posted3/21/2018
Aubrey O'Day is rumored to have written two songs about her alleged affair with Donald Trump Jr., and even made a music vid for one of them, but it was never released.
TMZ posted previously unreleased footage of Aubrey's remake of Gotye's 2011 smash hit "Somebody That I Used to Know" ... in which she's topless with words like "Cheater," "Liar" and "Seduction" written on her body. The video was shot around early 2012 -- after her alleged affair with DJT Jr. while she was on 'Celebrity Apprentice' -- but was never completed because O'Day failed to pay the production bills. Aubrey's remix features tweaked lyrics to make it about someone having an affair with a married man ... who seems to fit the profile of Trump's eldest son. For example -- "You said that was the reason for your pain / But you were scared to ruin your family's name / Your wife's the only one glad we are over." The song goes on to take shots at the unnamed married man, calling him an "a**hole," "f***ing liar," and "some coward that I used to love." Aubrey's 2013 tune "DJT" is also allegedly about her affair with Trump Jr. -- whose wife filed divorce papers last week. Shawn Mendes got fans excited up when he tweeted out two posts, one of which was an image with two dates: March 22 and March 23. Now we know the significance of March 22. The 19-year-old pop star went back to Twitter on Tuesday (March 20) to announce his new single, "In My Blood," is coming out on March 22. View image on Twitter Though this news answers the question of the first date, what does March 23 mean? Is the "Stitches" singer going to surprise drop a new album on us? We can only hope. The Canadian singer did give fans a nice little update last month, when he posted a shirtless photo on Instagram with the caption: "album soon come." If his third album really does drop on Friday, that certainly constitutes as "soon." It's been a year and a half since Shawn released his sophomore album, Illuminate.
