New Hunter Hayes music is here months early. The 27-year-old musician originally intended to debut his new album, Wild Blue Part I, in October, but surprised fans with an early release. “As soon as we wrote ‘Wild Blue,’ I went into every conversation or co-write with that idea in mind and it led to some of the most honest realizations about myself and how I approach love and relationships. I’m so thankful for this journey and the path it’s set me on personally and professionally,” Hunter shared with The Tennessean about the album title. He also shared that he hopes “people hear the hope in its message.” “There is this sense of flight,” Hunter adds. “Feeling that freedom and kind of loving the starting-over aspect of it. When you’re holding on to too many things, there’s no way you can possibly do that.” Wild Blue includes 10 tracks, including “Heartbreak,” “One Good Reason,” “Dear God” and “One Shot.”

On Tuesday, star of Disney's "The Descendants" Dove Cameron posted a series of pictures wearing a white tank top with nothing underneath it, quoting author Trista Hendren in the caption. "Women HAVE a history that has been systematically suppressed. Our collective spirituality has largely been tainted to fit the needs of men and those in power," she wrote. "Our girls deserve better. The time to introduce feminism and woman-centered spirituality to ALL children is now."
In a second post, she quoted another feminist author, Elizabeth Eiler, writing, "However you inhabit and express being Woman, embrace yourself in that way today!"
With close to 9 million likes, at the time of this post, comments ranged from high praise to disappointment.
"This is being a role model," she replied to one critic who appeared to delete their initial criticism, "this is exactly being a role model." When another follower said they didn't understand how the photo was "empowering or inspiring" -- adding that it's "really not that [deep]" -- Cameron agreed, it shouldn't be, but unfortunately still is. "I agree with you in the sense that it is not that deep. or groundbreaking whatsoever. or anything really to talk about. but it's only a big deal because this society is so beyond backwards that they have demonized basic anatomy and are very! up! in arms! about female bodily freedom," she responded. "They're confused and loud about it. so, technically, it's not a big deal, and it shouldn't be, and the idea behind posting something like this is to normalize it. because a lot of girls feel confused about their bodies and what it means to be a woman (in a surface way, on this specific subject, about sexuality and men and who their body belongs to bc of long-lasting systemic repression)," the 23-year-old star continued. "So. it's cool to be like, it's whatever. embrace yourself. don't hide, if you wanna, and wear a bra, if you wanna," she concluded, "but don't hide to avoid the backlash. because you don't deserve to have assholes giving you shit about YOUR BODY." âDove went on to share messages from other fans showing her support in her Stories -- and even won support from "Riverdale" star Lili Reinhart, who shared a post her mom wrote about all the online chatter saying "Mass shootings are horrible. These are just boobs." A$AP Rocky has been found guilty of assault and handed a conditional sentence after he was involved in a street brawl in Stockholm.
The performer and two members of his entourage were convicted by a Swedish court, following a confrontation in the Swedish capital on June 30. The imposition of a conditional sentence means that A$AP Rocky -- whose real name is Rakim Mayers -- will not have to serve any further jail time but will be subject to a probationary period of two years. The court awarded damages of 12,500 Swedish Krona ($1,300) to the victim "for violation of his integrity and pain and suffering." The defendants were also ordered to pay fees of 80,610 Swedish Krona (nearly $8,400) for the victim's lawyer.In its ruling on Wednesday, Stockholm District Court rejected the performer's claim that the trio had been acting in self-defense. "Based on statements from two witnesses, the court finds that the defendants were not subject to a current or imminent criminal attack," the ruling said. "Therefore, they were not in a situation where they were entitled to use violence in self-defense. Nor could they have perceived themselves to be in such a situation." Swedish public prosecutor Daniel Suneson had argued during the trial that the artist and the two other men -- David Rispers and Bladimir Corniel -- assaulted the victim by kicking and beating him with a whole or part of a glass bottle while he lay on the ground. However, the court decided there was too much conflicting evidence to determine conclusively if the three men had used the bottle to strike the victim. A$AP Rocky's lawyer, Slobodan Jovicic, said his cilent found the trial "very tough and demanding" and he is not sure whether he will appeal the guilty verdict. "I don't know if he will have the strength and the stamina to do this one more time," Jovicic said. The lawyer has not yet spoken to Rocky but has arranged a phone call with him for later Wednesday. While expressing disappointment in the verdict, Jovicic said he was pleased about the court's decision on the bottle. "It's shown that (A$AP Rocky) was followed and provoked," he said. Known for his song "Praise the Lord," 30-year-old A$AP Rocky was released by Swedish authorities at the conclusion of his trial on August 2 and left the country shortly afterwards. He was not required to appear in court for Wednesday's ruling. The rapper's arrest angered fans and fellow artists, and strained diplomatic relations with the United States after President Donald Trump repeatedly demanded his release, even raising the issue with Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven. Judge Per Lennerbrant told CNN Wednesday that Trump's attempted interventions had no bearing on the court's decision. "I have not been contacted by anyone," Lennerbrant said. "There's been no attempt to exert influence over me and I'm not aware that any other member of the Swedish court has been contacted." He added: "These are contacts that took place on the political level that is completely out of the scope of what we do."A$AP Rocky addressed the case during a performance at a music festival in California on Sunday, according to Reuters. "Hopefully we won't have to go back to jail or nothing like that, that would be crazy," he told the audience at the Real Street Festival -- his first public appearance since his release. "It was an unfortunate event and I'm just trying to stay blessed." |
