Adele – Australian TV reporter Matt Doran has made a lengthy, unreserved apology to Adele for failing to listen to her new album before an exclusive interview with the singer, calling the bungle a “terrible mistake”.

Doran made international headlines this week for his interview with the singer, which was canned after he conceded he had only heard one track from her latest work, 30. Sony is refusing to release the footage.

Live on Channel Seven program Weekend Sunrise on Saturday, Doran concluded the show by lamenting that he had “insulted” Adele and apologising to the singer, her fans and viewers of the station.

“This is a story that has sparked a torrent of abuse and mockery from around the world and, if I’m being honest with you, the bulk of this savaging I deserve and I totally own,” Doran said.

Doran was flown to London for the exclusive interview with Adele in the lead-up to the release of her fourth album, which he described as an “unspeakable privilege””.

The interview was reportedly part of a A$1m package including broadcast rights to Adele’s One Night Only television special. It would have been Adele’s only Australian interview.

“I made the terrible mistake of assuming we weren’t to be given a preview copy of this album because our interview was airing before it was released and Adele’s album was the industry’s most prized secret,” Doran said.

“The day after we landed in London an email came through from Sony, it didn’t mention Adele but it did contain a link to her album.

“The genuine, deadset, hand on heart truth is that I missed it. By an absurdly long margin the most important email I’ve ever missed in my life.”

Doran said contrary to media reports, Adele didn’t walk out on the interview, which ran overtime and was at least 50% focused “squarely” on the new music.

“I thought it was reductive to describe [the new music] as simply being about divorce, that it was about empowerment and would inspire people to summon the courage to steer their lives in a new direction,” Doran said of the interview.

“We spoke about of the paradox that is being the world’s most famous artist but hating fame, we also discussed at length the concept of pure artistry, the majesty of Adele’s voice, what it must be like to hear that sound come out of one’s own mouth.

“How go Easy On Me was conceived in part by singing acapella in the shower, and how the album helped repair her relationship towards the end with her now late father,”

Kanye West has shared a photograph of him kissing his ex-wife Kim Kardashian after he vowed he would get them back together.

The Donda rapper, 44, took to his Instagram stories to share an old photo of him and then-wife Kim embracing.

While he didn’t add a caption, the photo includes a headline from TMZ stating: ‘Kanye West says God will bring Kim, 41, and him back together, inspire millions’.

The headline is in reference to a speech Kanye made at a charity event in LA earlier this week, where he stated he was determined to get back together with his wife.

In the speech, Kanye said he will fix his marriage as God wants them to see that ‘everything can be redeemed’.

The chart-topper went on to say that he would be ‘changing the narrative’ around his marriage and that he would not let E! or Hulu – two channels where the Kardashians have reality shows – ‘write the narrative on my family’.

Saying that he was trying to express himself in the ‘most sane way’, Kanye added simply: ‘I need to be back in my home.’

He said that ‘if the enemy can separate Kimye’, it makes ‘millions of families feel that separation is okay.

But when ‘God brings Kimye together’, those millions of families will be ‘influenced’ to ‘overcome the work of the separation, of trauma the devil has used…’

Kanye also opened up about their marriage in a Thanksgiving prayer on Thursday, where he said he ’embarrassed’ Kim when he vocally supported then-president Donald Trump and then tried to run for president himself.

The speech came after Yeezy told the podcast and YouTube series Drink Champs that he and Kim were ‘not even divorced’ as he has ‘never seen the papers’.

Referring to her as his wife throughout the interview, the rapper said their children ‘want their parents to stay together, I want us to be together.’

Kim, however, appears to have moved on with Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson, 28.

Rumours about the two swirled for weeks after they were seen holding hands and heading out for dinner together after kissing during a sketch on SNL for an episode Kim was hosting.

But while neither have officially commented on the rumours, the pair were seen this week holding hands and giggling together in a car – and if that’s not enough to sent the rumour mill into overdrive, Pete was sporting what looked to be a fairly considerable love bite.

Kanye, meanwhile, is rumoured to be dating model Vinetria, 22, after the pair attended a basketball game at his Donda Academy school in Minneapolis.

Dr. Dre requested to pay nearly $300K in month to month spousal help https://dailyconcord.com/dr-dre/ Sun, 25 Jul 2021 14:04:24 +0000 https://dailyconcord.com/?p=15144 Dr. Dre – Going on like this, Dr. Dre’s wallet will be straight outta cash.

Dr. Dre – Going on like this, Dr. Dre’s wallet will be straight outta cash.

The 56-year-old music big shot was requested to pay his irritated spouse, Nicole Young, $293,306 each month in spousal help starting on Aug. 1, as indicated by court reports got by Page Six on Thursday.

The previous NWA part should continue to pay the gigantic sum to Young until she remarries or goes into a homegrown association — or except if the court orders in any case sometime in the not too distant future.

Dre was likewise requested to keep paying costs for the Malibu and Pacific Palisades homes that the couple once shared, which bodes well as a source acquainted with the case revealed to Page Six that he possesses these homes out and out.

The source likewise said the spousal help figure is steady with what he’s been paying as of now and is a small amount of the $2 million every month that Young asked the court for in September 2020.

The couple is expected back in court Thursday for another consultation.

Young, 51, first recorded to separate from Dre, 56, in June 2020. Several was hitched for a very long time and have two grown-up children, 24-year-old child Truice and 20-year-old girl Truly.

He started giving her transitory spousal help two months after the recording.

The previous couple had a prenuptial understanding set up and Dre’s assessed total assets is at present around $800 million.

They asked a California judge to approve lawfully finishing their marriage in April 2021, in spite of the way that they were all the while pounding out their separation subtleties.

Legal counselors for Young didn’t quickly hit us up.

Dre’s legal counselor declined to remark.

 Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX CEO used most of his “Saturday Night Live” monologue this weekend explaining why many people regard him as controversial.

The 49-year-old South Africa-born billionaire said he believes in a renewable energy future and that humanity should be a “multi-planetary space-bearing civilization.”

“I think if I just posted that on Twitter I’d be fine,” he opened.

Musk claimed he was the first “SNL” host with Asperger syndrome – “at least the first to admit it” – referring to a developmental disorder on the autism spectrum, and kidded that he’s been told his lack of intonation “makes for great comedy.”

But he promised he was “pretty good at running human in emulation mode.” 

After mentioning a tweet he wrote that said, “69 days after 4/20 again haha,” he said to anyone he may have offended through controversial posts, “I just wanted to say I’ve reinvented electric cars and I’m sending people to Mars on a rocket ship. Did you think I was also going to be a chill, normal dude?”

Musk also complained some people have reduced his personality to the fact that he smoked pot during an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, and now people act like he goes from podcast to podcast lighting up.

“It happened once!” he protested. “It’s like reducing O.J. Simpson to ‘murderer.’ That was one time!”

He also kiddingly explained his young son’s name “X Æ A-Xii” is pronounced “cat running across a keyboard.”

At the end of his monologue, Musk brought his mother onstage — after the mothers of “SNL” cast members appeared earlier, ahead of Sunday’s Mother’s Day.

She joked she was excited about her Mother’s Day gift but hoped it wasn’t Dogecoin, Musk’s favourite cryptocurrency — the value of which was sinking during the show, according to reports. 

“It is,” he admitted.

Jose Mourinho has been appointed Roma manager from the start of the 2021-22 season. The 58-year-old will replace fellow Portuguese Paulo Fonseca, who Roma announced earlier on Tuesday would leave at the end of the current season.

Mourinho was sacked as Tottenham Hotspur boss on 19 April and had said he would “wait to be back in football” following his dismissal.

He has signed a three-year deal with Roma, who are seventh in Serie A.

“Thank you to the Friedkin family for choosing me to lead this great club and to be part of their vision,” said Mourinho, who has also managed Inter Milan, Chelsea, Manchester United and Real Madrid outside his homeland.

“After meetings with the ownership and Tiago Pinto, I immediately understood the full extent of their ambitions. It is the same ambition and drive that has always motivated me and together we want to build a winning project.

“The incredible passion of the Roma fans convinced me to accept the job and I cannot wait to start next season.”

Mourinho was dismissed after 17 months in charge of Spurs following a poor second half of the season in which they slipped from top of the table to outside the European places.

This season Mourinho suffered 10 league defeats in a single campaign for the first time in his managerial career.

“When Jose became available, we immediately jumped at the chance to speak with one of the greatest managers of all time,” said Pinto, Roma’s general manager.

“We were blown away by Jose’s desire to win and his passion for the game: no matter how many trophies he has won, his primary focus is always on the next one. He possesses the knowledge, experience and leadership to compete at all levels.

“We know that in order to build a successful sporting project it takes time, patience and the right people in the right positions. We are supremely confident Jose will be the perfect coach for our project, for both our immediate and long-term future.”

Prince Philip’s funeral – More than 13 million people in the UK watched live television coverage of the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral which saw a Queen in mourning, masked and sitting alone, during her first public appearance since the death of her husband of 73 years.

The BBC’s coverage of the scaled-back military procession and St George’s chapel service at Windsor Castle attracted 11 million viewers at its peak, with ITV seeing 2.1 million and Sky about 450,000. The Queen Mother’s 2002 funeral was watched by 10.4 million, while that of Diana, Princess of Wales, had a record 32 million in 1997.

The service for Prince Philip incorporated impressive military spectacle despite Covid-19 restrictions, which limited mourners to 30, with no wake.

Nothing has been heard from the monarch since Philip’s death. The only words made public were on her handwritten card accompanying her wreath of white lilies, freesias, roses, jasmine and sweet peas. It read simply: “In loving memory”. Her signature was obscured by the flowers, but some reports said she had signed it “Lilibet”, the name she was known as a child by her family, and which she used on her flowers at her mother’s funeral.

Having always walked two steps behind his wife on official engagements, Saturday’s funeral saw the monarch follow her husband as she joined the rear of the procession in the state Bentley. Her vehicle paused briefly at the side of his customised Land Rover hearse and she was able to look upon the duke’s coffin in place, draped in his personal standard, and surmounted by his naval cap and sword.

The funeral yielded signs of growing rapprochement within the divided royal family. While the dukes of Cambridge and Sussex, whose rift is well documented, marched behind the coffin separated by their cousin, Peter Phillips, and were divided by an aisle inside the chapel, they were seen chatting afterwards, along with the Duchess of Cambridge.

Harry is understood to have been isolating at Frogmore Cottage, his former marital home at Windsor, since arriving from California a week ago. With his wife Meghan heavily pregnant with their second child, it is thought he is eager to return to the US as quickly as possible.

But it is the first time in more than a year that he has seen his family. After the Sussexes’ incendiary interview with Oprah Winfrey, there is undoubtedly much to discuss, not least between Harry and his father, Prince Charles.

While the period of national mourning for the duke, who died on 9 April aged 99, has now ended, the two-week period of royal mourning his family are observing still remains. During it, the Queen will mark her 95th birthday on Wednesday at Windsor Castle, where she and Philip had been shielding during the pandemic.

Prior to the funeral, the BBC had received 110,000 complaints about its coverage of Prince Philip’s death, after it cleared its schedules and put mirrored coverage on BBC One, BBC Two and the news channel. The complaints were the highest number ever published in the UK about television programming.

Taylor Swift fans are in an uproar after the singer was removed from a famous Nashville mural celebrating country music legends and replaced with Brad Paisley.

The famous exhibition, which exists in Music City’s Legend’s Corner at Fifth and Broadway, is getting an overhaul by artist Tim Davis, according to Fox 17. The removal of Swift is one of the first changes, and it has Swifties up in arms.

When news circulated that Swift was dropped from the commemorative display, several fans weighed in. Many claimed the “Cardigan” singer earned her right to be on the wall, with one person dubbing the switch a “travesty.”

“taylor swift getting replaced on the legends corner mural by a man is already annoying enough but when you factor in overall accomplishments and accolades is just like……please,” one person reacted on Twitter.

“Removing @taylorswift13 from the mural in Nashville is a travesty, and the to replace her with another dime a dozen white dude? Ugh,” another tweeted. “So many other women of country or BIPOC that are sorely underrepresented. Bad move #Nashville.”

Most fans angry over the switch argued that while Paisley deserves to be on the mural, Davis could have simply added him without removing Swift, a Grammy award winner.

“Taylor Swift is and will always be a Legend. No disrespect to Brad Paisley who they could’ve put anywhere on this giant mural. But No they choose to take the Spot away from a Very Talented Artist who had to fight to earn her spot on that wall,”  a fan wrote.

“I have lots of respect for #bradpresysley being added to the legendary mural but where I am hurt by the fact that the city of Nashville could have put him in a different place but they didn’t. They removed another young legend named Taylor Swift,” another reacted.

“Seriously, you changing the mural won’t change the truth. On one outside of the USA would listen to country music if it wasn’t for @taylorswift13,” one person argued, adding that “young Taylor ran the country.”

flamethrower – Kentucky man is going viral for his unconventional idea of clearing the snow in his driveway with a flamethrower.

Timothy Browning stunned fans after a relative filmed him standing in his driveway wearing nothing but a white bathrobe, socks, slippers and a hat, recreating Cousin Eddie from the iconic holiday movie “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.”

While his attire alone would turn heads, it was Browning’s unique method of removing snow from his driveway with a flamethrower that won the Internet.

“Browning snow services removal now available!” a woman filming Browning, of Ashland, Ky., says at the start of the video.

In the nearly 30-second clip, Browning chugs a beer and throws it on the ground as he casually watches the giant flames in front of him melt away the flakes.

“God bless American rednecks!” Browning wrote on Facebook, where he posted the footage.

Browning’s alternative to shoveling was also caught on camera by an onlooker named Jordan Podunavac. His video was posted to Twitter by a user named Chad who wrote, “Here’s one way to do some quick snow removal, by flamethrower.”

The tweet was viewed over 120,000 times after it was posted on Christmas. Viewers were quick to react on social media, referring to Browning as a “genius” and asking how to get their hands on a flamethrower.

Cardi B – Days after Cardi B and her wet ass pussy filed for divorce from her husband, Offset, the rapper went live on Instagram to address rumours and clickbait reports about their separation for the first time. In an impassioned voice message on Friday evening, Cardi insisted that there wasn’t a scandalous reason for their separation, stating that the duo just grew apart after four years of a very public marriage.

“The reason for my divorce is not from none of that shit from ever before. It’s not from cheating,” she explained. “I got tired of fucking arguing. I got tired of not seeing things eye-to-eye. When you feel like things aren’t the same anymore before you actually get cheated on, I’d rather just leave.

“Nothing crazy out of this world happened, sometimes people really do grow apart. I’ve been with this man for four years. I have a kid with this man, I have a household with this man,” Cardi said. “Sometimes you’re just tired of the arguments and the buildups. You get tired sometimes. And before something bad happens, before you get left or cheated on, sometimes you just want to leave. What is so bad about that?”

In response to reports that their divorce is coming at a convenient time to promote her upcoming new album, Cardi grew irate. “I don’t need drama to sell music,” she explained. “I just want to be a free bird, okay? Stop. Stop with the shit. Bitch, I am the fucking clout.

I’ve got the number-one song right now. Why would I need anything to sell my next record or next album?” In her divorce filing, which was filed on September 15 in Atlanta, Cardi stated that her marriage to Offset was “irretrievably broken” with “no prospects for reconciliation.” Cardi is seeking primary custody of their 2-year-old daughter, Kulture.

Kanye West has revealed that Eminem will be featured on a Dr. Dre remix of Ye’s 2019 song “Use This Gospel.”

Yeezy took to Twitter on Friday (Sept. 18) to show his appreciation Eminem for appearing on the forthcoming track, and noted that it’s currently one of his daughter North West’s favorites from her dad’s music catalog.

“@Eminem THANK YOU FOR RAPPING ON THE DR DRE REMIX OF USE THIS GOSPEL I HAVW ALWAYS LOVED AND RESPECTED YOU AND IM HONORED TO HAVE YOU BLESS THIS SONG … ITS ALSO NORTH WEST’S FAVORITE KANYE WEST SONG OF ALL TIME,” West wrote.

“Use This Gospel” appeared on Ye’s ninth album, Jesus Is the King, in October 2019. A month after its release, Kanye announced that he was collaborating with Dr. Dre for the album’s sequel.

It’s unclear, however, when fans might be hearing new music by West. In recent days, the rapper and presidential hopeful tweeted that he’s “not putting no more music out till I’m done with my contract with Sony and Universal.”

In January 2019, Ye filed a pair of lawsuits against EMI, the song publisher that has administered the rights to his songs since 2003, and against Roc-a-Fella Records, UMG Recordings, Def Jam and Bravado International Group. EMI sued West in March 2019 for damages after what it called in court documents a response to his “efforts to renege on his bargained-for contractual obligations to the company.” In January 2020, a settlement between West and EMI had been reached.

Earlier this summer, Kanye announced that his next album, Donda, would arrive in late July. The album, which Ye said would be accompanied by a movie, has not yet been released.
