Eminem Is The First Rapper To Headline London’s Wembley Stadium

by 05/07/14

In his first London show since 2001, Eminem is set to take the stage at the “Venue of Legends,” Wembley Stadium.

Em announced the July 11 concert on Zane Lowes’s BBC1 Radio show, revealing that the event was born out of a hangup with Royal Parks approvals. The original show was targeted for Hyde Park.

“I heard that I wasn’t going to be approved to play in Hyde Park and it made me even more excited to play in London this summer,” he said. “The easiest way to get me to do something is to tell me I can’t do it.”

The Detroit rapper also spoke about the prospect of announcing more one-off shows and confirmed that a full tour is not in the cards.

“As far as being on the road, I don’t know how that works for me right now,” Eminem said. “I’m Not saying I’ll never be ready for that again. I’m just saying, right now this is what’s working for me, and I’m having fun doing it.”

Tickets for Eminem’s Wembley Stadium concert in London go on sale Friday, May 9.

11 Life Lessons ABC’s TGIF Taught Us

by 05/02/14

ABC’s TGIF was a Friday night staple in the ’90s. Laughs were shared, bonds were formed, kids were allowed to stayed up late, and most of all, we learned some valuable life lessons. We came of age with DJ and Stephanie, experienced the unbreakable bond of friendship with Cory and Shawn, and prepared ourselves for the awkward ups and downs of being a teenager.

1. “Full House” taught us that being a middle child is tough, but Uncle Jesse reminds us that sometimes, like in an Oreo cookie or bologna sandwich, the middle is the best part.


2. Steve Urkel served up a weekly reminder that although someone is different, you should still treat them with respect.


3. “Step By Step” saved our parents from the dreaded “birds and the bees” talk when they taught us all about the “wild monkey dance,” and why you might want to save yourself for true love. The Code-Man knows all.


4. “Boy Meets World” taught us to believe in ourselves, and eff the noise. Tell ‘em how it is Mr. Feeny.


5. Shawn and Cory schooled us on how to be a loyal friend.


6. “Full House” taught us how to cope with the death of a loved one when Papouli passed on. It’s OK to cry.


7. “Sabrina The Teenage Witch” pretty much taught us to accept who you are, even if you’re a confused coming-of-age ...

Ellen Degeneres Congratulates Ellen Page On Coming Out: ‘I Am So Proud’

by 04/30/14

The two biggest Ellens in the LGBT world have united. On Wednesday (April 30), Ellen Page joined Ellen DeGeneres to talk about her brave “coming out” speech at the HRC’s “Time To Thrive” conference back in February.

“I am so proud of you for coming out, and I am so happy for you,” DeGeneres said. “I know what a scary thing that is.”

Page was humbled by the compliment, and remained visually struck by her own words after a small clip of the speech was aired, saying “I think my biggest fear of doing it was having a panic attack, quite frankly. I was just so ready to do it, and so excited to do it.”

Page said DeGeneres was as a source of strength and inspiration, bringing up Ellen’s difficult coming out story from the ’90s.

“[I'm] grateful to you, because you did it in a time when it was much harder and much scarier,” Page said. “I knew I would be a happier person. I knew I was going to feel better … It’s really been quite extoradinary to feel the shift.”

In a recent interview with Flare magazine, the actress spoke out about pressure from Hollywood to remain hidden.

“You hear things like, ‘People shouldn’t know about your life because you’re creating an illusion on-screen.’ But I don’t see other actresses going to great lengths to hide their heterosexuality. That’s an unfair double standard.”

Overall, Page rates her coming out experience as a positive one. She’s received mountains of support from ...

Lohan also payed homage to the classic hump-day quote, “On Wednesdays we ‘wore’ pink.”

On Instagram the actress honored fan-favorite character Damien, remarking “He has a point.”

She rounded out her social media blitz on Twitter, proudly proclaiming “as far back as i can remember, i always wanted to be a mean girl.”

Selena Gomez Gets Super Emotional Covering Corinne Bailey Rae

by 04/30/14

Selena Gomez, girlfriend, what is going on?

The singer, who recently deleted every single friend she followed on Instagram, is kicking up the sads a few more notches. Today (April 30) Gomez posted a pair of clips covering singer/songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae’s 2005 debut, “Like A Star.”

“From tonight I know that you’re the only one / I’ve been confused in the dark / Now I understand,” she declares in a sultry tone.

She followed up with a telltale line from the song’s chorus, “I wonder why it is / I don’t argue like this / With anyone but you.”

Fans speculate the source of Gomez’s anguish could be credited to on-again-off-again boyfriend Justin Bieber. Rae’s “Like A Star” speaks to the pain of a destructive romance — the kind love that that runs its course like a roller-coaster with exuberant highs and crushing lows.

On top of unfollowing her Instagram friends, the singer also recently ended professional relationship with her parents.

Later in the day, Gomez sought out some time with her pastor, Judah Smith, and appears to be attending his “Jesus Is” tour tonight in Atlanta. She posted a photo on Instagram, captioned, “Love my pastor and his family so much! Don’t know what I would do without them. @judahsmith Jesus Is tour!”
