Lana Del Rey fans in anticipation of her new album NormanFucking Rockwell, may be getting new music as early as next week.

During an Instagram Live broadcast on Sunday (Dec. 30), the singer told fans that "I think I'm putting a song out on January 8" before adding "but I'm not a thousand percent on it. Maybe the 8th." Del Rey also confirmed during the live chat that the new album is "completely finished."

​Back in October, she teased a snippet of a track called "Sylvia Plath" after releasing singles "Mariners Apartment Complex" and "Venice Bitch" the previous month.

Jimin just released his very first solo song! The BTS member took to the group’s official Twitter account to reveal that he ventured out on his own for a new track called “Promise,” which he wrote and helped compose himself. He got some help from Slow Rabbit in producing the song, while his fellow BTS band member, RM, helped write the lyrics. 

“Everyone, you’ve been waiting a long time for this, right?” Jimin tweeted from BTS’ account. “I’m finally releasing my self-composed track. It’s a song for me, but it’s also a song for you all. Though I may be a bit lack because it’s my first, please listen to it. Thank you all ARMYs who waited.” Even though it appears Jimin was a bit nervous about the reaction to the song, his fans fell in love with the track from the very first listen, and couldn’t stop praising him for a job well done on Twitter.

The DoubleTree hotel in Portland, Oregon fired the two employees who were responsible for calling police on a black guest while he was talking on the phone in the lobby. The Hilton-owned hotel posted a statement on Twitter saying that the “mistreatment” of Jermaine Massey was “inconsistent with our standards & values. We reiterate our sincere apology for what he endured & will work with diversity experts to ensure this never happens again.”

Massey’s story went viral after he posted a series of videos on Instagram showing how a security guard and a manager at the hotel were responsible for kicking him out even though he was a guest there. The guard—who came to be known as “Hotel Earl” on social media—apparently asked Massey whether he was a guest in the middle of his phone call and then decided to call police when he was not satisfied with the answer. When police arrived they told Massey he had to leave, meaning he was forced to find a new place to spend the night at around midnight.  â€œI was racially profiled and treated unfairly,” Massey said in one of a series of Instagram videos.

The hotel announced the terminations a day after it issued a statement saying it had placed the employees on leave while it reviewed the incident. “We have a zero-tolerance stance on discrimination of any kind, and do not tolerate behavior of that nature. We are seeking the counsel of community leaders, and will engage a third-party to conduct a full investigation into the incident – reviewing our internal processes, protocols and trainings to ensure we are creating and maintaining a safe space for everyone,” the hotel’s general manager, Paul Peralta, said. “The employees involved have since been placed on leave for the duration of this investigation, and we will take the appropriate measures to ensure this does not happen again.”

Sia confirmed both an album and feature-length musical for the coming year. Though details weren’t given for the album, it’s a safe bet to guess that muse and now regular contributor to Sia’s visuals, former Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler, will return for the new project.

Sia and Ziegler first worked together on the former’s music videos for “Chandelier” and “Elastic Heart,” with the pair continuing to work together on visuals accompanying the pop star’s work in the years since. Sia’s directorial debut—the musical previously mentioned—is titled Music, and will star the teen dancer alongside Kate Hudson and Leslie Odom Jr. The musical is three years in the making and we now know, per Rolling Stone, that it will follow a story the singer wrote with author Dallas Clayton focusing on “an autistic child who comes under the care of her sober drug-dealing sister.” The child and sister will be played by Ziegler and Hudson, respectively.

Though it’s been a while since her last studio album, Sia has kept busy in 2018—from writing songs for Everytown and Vox Lux to working with Diplo in LSD.

Taylor Swift posted a preview of her acoustic performance of "All Too Well" from the upcoming Reputation Stadium Tour Concert on social media Saturday (Dec. 29).

Moments like this defined the Reputation Stadium Tour for me, and I can’t wait for you to see it in full starting at 12:01 AM December 31, pacific."

Swift's concert was filmed at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in October. She performed "All Too Well" on one of her B-stages, where she would surprise the crowd with a different song each night on the tour.
