No Comments

Singer-songwriter Luke Bell has died at the age of 32.

The country artist was first reported missing in Arizona on August 20. He was with his close friend, musician Matt Kinman when he went missing.

The singer was discovered on Monday, August 29, “not far from where he disappeared”. Kinman confirmed the news to Saving Country Music.

He told the outlet that Bell severely struggled with bipolar disorder. After virtually disappearing from the public eye years ago, Bell’s mental health seemed to improve due to medication and treatment.

“But while out West recently, Luke’s mental state took a turn for the worse. While in Tucson with Matt Kinman, he ran off while Matt went to get something to eat,” the publication reports. An official cause of death has not yet been revealed.

Bell caused a stir in the country music scene in 2014 with his debut album “Don’t Mind if I Do”.

He signed a record deal with Thirty Tigers in 2016. Later that year, he dropped his self-titled album which received critical acclaim.

While promoting the record, he talked about tuning out the noise on his rise to stardom. In 2018, he won Best Honky Tonk Male at the Ameripolitan Awards in Memphis, Tennessee.

I wish I waited – Demi Lovato regrets making documentaries on her sobriety journey

Speaking in an interview with Alternative Press, said she regrets making those documentaries and wish she waited. Lovato said;

“Honestly, I’m really sick of watching myself, and I think other people probably are too.“And if they aren’t, then they can watch my music videos.

“I wish I would have waited until I had my s–t figured out more because now it’s cemented. Sobriety is what works for me and nothing else.”

Her most recent documentary, “Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil,” detailed the singer’s near-fatal drug overdose in 2018. Following the incident, Lovato revealed she was “California Sober,” meaning she still smoked weed and drank alcohol in moderation.

‘I’m fed up with people getting killed every day – Singer Ozzy Osbourne reveals he’s moving back to the UK with his wife because he ‘doesn’t want to die’ in America

No Comments

Ozzy Osbourne has announced he plans to move back to the UK with his wife Sharon Osbourne, because he’s fed up with people getting killed every day in the US and don’t want to become a target.

The singer, 73, who has spent over 25 years in Beverly Hills revealed this while commenting on the country’s history of school shootings. Osbourne said he will relocate with his music manager wife Sharon, 69, to their 120-year-old Grade II listed Buckinghamshire pile Welders House.

He told The Observer: ‘I’m fed up with people getting killed every day. God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert… It’s f*****g crazy.’

He continued:

‘I’m English. I want to be back. But, saying that, if my wife said we’ve got to go and live in Timbuktu, I’ll go. But, no, it’s just time for me to come home.’ Quashing any speculation that the move could have been promoted by Ozzy’s battle with Parkinson’s Disease, Sharon added:

‘It isn’t the United States of America at all. Nothing’s united about it. It’s a very weird place to live right now.’

The Black Sabbath hitmaker returned to the stage earlier this month in his hometown of Birmingham for the Commonwealth Games closing ceremony just two months after ‘life-altering surgery’.

Earlier in August, Ozzy revealed in an interview with The Sun that he was told he could have been paralysed for life, after undergoing his first spinal surgery back in 2019.

The hitmaker was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019, and that same year suffered a horror fall that aggravated a neck injury from his 2003 quad bike accident.

Art teacher under fire for voluptuous curves as parents accuse her of being a distraction

No Comments

A New Jersey art teacher is receiving heat from parents at the preschool where she teaches.

Her voluptuous curves and figure-hugging dresses is the bone of contention. Parents said her curves are a distraction for their children.

The teacher is quite popular on Instagram where she regularly shares photos of herself in class or engaging in other fun activities outside school.

Some parents are calling for her to be fired while others say she should just wear clothes that hide her curves.

Under both New Jersey and federal labor law, it would be illegal for a school to fire a teacher based on their physical appearance, which is perhaps why there’s been no action taken against the supposed complaints that have been made in regards to the woman’s looks.

No Comments

Sylvester Stallone has debunked claims of his 25-year-old marriage ending because of his dog. TMZ had reported that Stallone’s wife, Jennifer Flavin, filed for divorce because they fought over a new Rottweiler named Dwight.

Anthony Joshua lacked confidence against Usyk – Deontay Wilder

No Comments

American Heavyweight boxer, Deontay Wilder has claimed that Anthony Joshua lost his rematch to Oleksandr Usyk due to a lack of confidence.

Wilder, who is set for a ring return on October 15 against Finland’s Robert Helenius, believes Joshua showed a lack of confidence in the build-up to the fight and has questioned the 32-year-old’s mentality.

“Sometimes you just look at both fighters, and sometimes the eye test will tell it all,” Wilder told ESNews.

“The body language is telling a story, the way the momentum of a fighter is telling a story, you could look at Usyk and tell how confident he was, how the tables have turned, you could tell he owned it, he feels like who he is.

“With Joshua, you could tell that he wasn’t himself, his usual self of being motivated and secure within himself.”

Wilder also claimed he received an offer from Eddie Hearn before Joshua’s fight with Usyk, adding that it was a sign the promoter did not have full confidence in Joshua’s ability to reclaim the heavyweight titles.

“Eddie Hearn came to us, after everything is over with my fight, talking about offering a deal,” said Wilder.

“My thing is we’re busy. For me, it’s easy to see what was going on. Boxing’s solely a business, it’s not a sport. It’s strictly a business.

“But he was trying to contact us for reassurance.

All of a sudden you want to make a fight because even you don’t have confidence in your own fighter that he was going to win.

“For me, he was trying to make a deal to ensure he can lock something in but the thing about it is when you lose that price goes up. He ain’t going to get no solid deal locked in. We’re not stupid, when you’re

Actor Will Smith’s popularity ‘plumments’ following Oscars slap of Chris Rock

No Comments

Will Smith’s popularity has reportedly plummented in the wake of his slap of Chris Rock at the Academy Awards this past March.

In a report from Variety citing his Q Scores – a metric that measures the fame and appeal of celebrities, statistics indicate that the public’s perception of the 53-year-old actor fell in the wake of his attack on Rock, 57, at the March 27 event at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California.

The Oscars exchange between Smith and Rock took place after Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, saying, ‘Jada, I love you, G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see it,’ in reference to the 1997 movie which featured Demi Moore with a shaved head, and not knowning that Pinkett Smith, 50, has been battling alopecia, which causes hair loss. Smith then walked onstage and smacked Rock, then returned to his seat and shouted at him twice, ‘Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth!’ to a stunned audience.

Prior to the Oscars, Smith was a regular in the top five or 10 of the most positively rated actors, based on surveys Q Scores conducted each January and July of 1,800 American consumers ages 6 and up, Q Scores executive VP Henry Schafer told Variety.

Smith was regularly ranked near popular stars such as Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks.

The differential between numbers from this year’s January and July polls indicated what Schafer described as ‘a very significant and precipitous decline’ of Smith’s positive Q Score from 39 to 24, according to the outlet.

Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith also took a hit to her image, according to the outlet, as her positive score fell from 13 to 6, while her negative score went from 29 to 44.

The decline of Smith’s popularity is likely to have an impact in regards to studios or advertisers looking to work with the actor, according to the outlet.

It is ‘not as bad as I’ve seen for other celebrities who have experienced antisocial events,’ Schafer said, noting that Tiger Woods reputation took a worse hit in the wake of his cheating scandal in 2009.

Demographic numbers indicated that women and non-Black people polled had a more negative rating than men and Black people polled, according to the outlet.
