I don't like Ed Sherren's and Katy Perry's new songs at all. Maybe with more listenings, but I doubt it, in Ed's case, especially. Katy and Orlando Bloom have split up--Katy revealed that alliance was just for fun, anyway, never got very serious (if what I read is true). I rented "Bridget Jones's Baby" and parts were amusing but they should have made that ten years ago. Ed Sheeran had a small role. Performed at an outdoor "Rave" type music festival. Hooked up with Bridget's friend. They didn't recognize him at first when they briefly met in a bar.

Jessica Chastain will play Tammy Wynette, and Joquin Phoenix George Jones, in a new bio pic of George Jones. Katy Perry's new short hair style and hair color look terrible

Bette Midler's new upcoming Broadway musical "Hello Dolly" has already broken records, selling $9 and a half million dollars worth of tickets so far--great to know she still has it, would love to hear her girl group songs album, bet it sounds fantastic

Will finally see "Beauty and the Beast" and wonder why they got Emma Thompson to sing the wonderful title song, instead of a famed musician, but they'd have a long way to go to top Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson's version. I am curious to hear Emma's, she's one of my fave actresses I read there were some complaints from certain quarters about Emma Watson's singing voice. Wonder why they didn't get a great singer to dub her vocals--maybe it seems special, though, that she sang them. She sure resembles Belle. I wonder why I want to see this movie, but didn't want to see the live "Cinderella." Stevie Nicks griped in a recent Rolling Stone interview about pushing 70, said she will continue to dress young, have long hair, etc. Debbie Harry "Blondie" is featured in the new Harper's Bazaar mag looking fabulous at age 71. Debbie Harry, Cher, Macca, Goldie Hawn, Mia Farrow and others make 70 look like the new 50, or something ! Leafing through the trashy Globe tabloid at the grocery store, I saw Linda Evans ("Dynasty") getting busted for DUI, and she looked beautiful in jeans, work shirt, no make up and messy hair, at well over age 70...and I thought of Stevie's wry comments. Pitiful, though, the photo with Linda Evans sort of tied up in the back seat of the cop car. She'd been driving badly and caught with nine pink pain pills in her handbag.

I do like Ed Sherran's new one about his past, his teens, heckfire he's only 26 or 27 now and already looking back, like a Millenial troubadour Proust or "Wild Strawberries," about singing "Tiny Dancer" with his friends and such, one is now "on his second wife" already, one is living with his two children, one is barely getting by. I don't fancy his single about "Shape," though, something about "shape." Not that he cares about my opinion. You're welcome, Luvs2Travel I really hate that new song about the guy holding his fling's hair back while she throws up, ugh, and he sings like he has a speech impediment, and sounds whiney and overly emotional. I appreciate emotion in singing, but jeeze some of them nowadays go way overboard. It gets right nauseating

Loretta Lynn, 85, is in hospital after having a stroke, is expected to recover and resume touring. Will soon release a new album. She's quite a survivor. She was the first woman in Nashville to record her own songs that she wrote. I recently read a 2002 autobiography called "Still Woman Enough" (wasn't that a Tammy Wynette song, though? Maybe not) in which Lynn reveals dirt she said she couldn't, while her husband was alive--about his alcoholism and his many affairs, that he drank like a fish and constantly cheated on her--and her sons had big drinking problems and would get in terrible violent fights at family holiday dinners, and she suspects that her son Jack was murdered by drug dealers--all this is disillusioning, is really a big blotch on the rags to riches fairy tale...some of it was touched upon in the movie "Coal Miner's Daughter" though. A bit. About her hubby and about her pill problem then. In her book she describes her kids and her lined up to "kill chickens for roasting" with blood on themselves (ugh!), a sight that horrifies tourists, "I realized then to put up a wall around the main house and property." Said she hadn't outgrown some of her early country/mountain ways.

A Broadway musical based on "Jagged Little Pill" ?? That's what they say. I can't stand Morrisette's singing, but a few effective rockers grace that album. Also read Broadway will give Cher the Broadway treatment like they did Carole King. Cher didn't write tons of songs though, including lots of hits She's still an interesting character.

Have you seen Lorde's "Green Light" video--she flings herself around, throws herself around so much, was worried she might knock herself out It's all about her having the hots for somebody, methinks. The lyrics. Which are fairly convoluted, even complex. Rather poetic. In a recent interview, she calls herself "a library person." I sure could relate

Dolly Parton ought to get that treatment too

T.V. journalist Meghan Kelly was all over Ed Sheran like white on rice at his Today performance outside, recently, smiling up a storm, doubtless hoping some of his star dust would polish her tarnish. Kelly was hate bombed after giving that terrible conspiracy theorist guy (I don't even want to say his name) a platform to spew his notorious beliefs the Sandy Hook mass shootings were a staged sham, thereby hurting the devastated parents of child shooting victims even more. Her boss gave her the go ahead on that but she took most of the brunt. Now pop star Ed is going to appear on her show. He kept talking about junk food and drinking in a new piece in "Entertainment Weekly"magazine--he drank 18 margueritas in one day in Mexico on his tour, "but it was spread out all over the day." He has "eaten my body weight in burritos." He and and his touring partners seek out every "trashy food" junk food joint they can find. "Wild Buffalo Wings tonight!" Good thing the ginger crooner's given up smoking, and now exercises.

In that same interview, Ed Sheeran humble-bragged that "people like to hear my new songs, at my concerts" and claimed he was surprised by that. His pocket book and ego were pleasantly surprised, I'll wager He claimed Paul Simon as a fan, said he and his daughter bought tickets to his concert, like anybody else. Said Simon's daughter LuLu is "a real sweetheart." I bet she's cute. Simon's and Edie Brickell's girl. Sheeran would do well to pour over all Simon's ouevre, seeking some of that greatness to rub off, sink in.

Saw a photo of Melania Trump floating around smiling, dressed like Stevie Nicks in flowing gauzy stuff, sort of prancing about, at a women's gathering at the White House--this was some time ago, but the image stays with me. Women smiled back at her. I'm glad they were nice to her. She has to put up with a lot !

Britney Spears plans to be frozen after her demise, in hopes of being brought back to life someday. Her father laughed at her, said she will look like "Elsa in 'Frozen' (movie)," LOL.

Trashy supermarket tabloid showed Katy Perry on holiday in Italy, just sitting there on the ground and claimed she was acting strange and it was because she doesn't have a boyfriend right now. Also showed Mariah Carey, claimed she has a massive weight gain and is now 263 pounds, been eating her way through not having a man now. As if they can't go even a few months without a man, LOL

Blake Shelton canceled his concert in Greenville, N.C. at East Carolina University, because university officials would not let him use the gigantic football stadium for his show, fearing the turf would get messed up for the games. He's sexy. Is country music intellectual enough to be performed at a big uni, though, or is that a dumb question
