Grammy winner, husband moving to Australia to star 'new chapter': Report

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Jul. 06, 2023July 6, 2023

G'day's are ahead for Pink and her family.

According to a report from New Idea, the "So What" singer is planning a "semi-permanent" move to Australia to begin a "new chapter" with husband, Carey Hart, and their kids, Willow, 11, and Jameson, 6.

"Australia will be such a special time. Setting up their much longed for dream base Down Under where they can escape the wintry months will be just what the doctor ordered," an insider said.

Pink has previously spoken about her Australian affection. Earlier this year while appearing on Australian 60 Minutes, she said she was "looking into" possible citizenship.

"Last year I was thinking about applying for citizenship, I am not even joking," she said.

Pink did not specify which Australian cities she's eyeing for a potential home base, but the Grammy winner and her family are reportedly scouring the country for a large plot of land big enough for a dirt bike track, similar to what they have at their California home.

"Pink and Carey have set a string of goals and all of it is hinging on Australia," the source said. "If they can work through their issues with the aim of having a great Christmas and New Year, then Australia will be the ultimate reward."

At a London concert, the singer opened up about going to marriage counseling with Carey, whom she briefly split from in 2008. The couple's relationship has been "hot and cold and everything in between," the source said.

"Pink admits there were times when things got so tense that being stuck at home seemed like a pressure cooker," continues the source. "This is a woman who admitted she once slashed Carey's tires during a particularly heated Thanksgiving. She can be testy!"

Any potential move likely wouldn't come until after Pink's Summer Carnival Tour, which will stop in seven Australian cities next February and March.

Former TV star going under the knife after 'mean comments'

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Jul. 06, 2023July 6, 2023

Brandi Glanville is about to make some changes.

The former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star claims to have never had plastic surgery on her face, but she does plan to go under the knife soon.

"I've NEVER had surgery on my face. I'm so sick of all the mean comments," the 50-year-old tweeted. "I've aged & now these comments are p****** off my kids cuz they know the truth."

She added, "I've never been in bandages."

The best-selling author, though, acknowledged that she is gearing up to get "a lower face & neck lift," similar to what "Housewives" star Teddi Mellencamp once got.

"I think she looks amazing and I will eventually do my upper eyelids," she continued. "I don't know when because I have to have time for down time & right now luckily I don't!"

For Brandi's sake, hopefully she'll receive a different response than Teddi got following her surgery.

"Everybody went crazy," Teddi told told "Extra" last year. "I mean, there was way more positive than there was negative, but I kind of wanted to point out the negative because people continuously want to know all the details, but when you give them the details, they are upset about it."

She advised, "Truthfully, whatever makes you feel beautiful and makes you feel happy, do it."

The model is no stranger to cosmetic procedures. Just last year she admitted to getting liposuction after "constantly" being asked if she was pregnant. Interestingly, Brandi – who noted that she gained 20 pounds during the COVID pandemic — once said she didn't "believe" in liposuction, but she's since changed her mind. She has also admitted in the past to receiving Botox and fillers.

Back in April 2022, Brandi fought back against suspicion that she went under the knife to enhance her face.

"Ok I'm saying this once I had periodontal (gum) surgery on the right side of my mouth on my back right side because I had a cavity below the gum line," she tweeted at the time. "It is infected and swollen I am on my second round of antibiotics and when I do get plastic surgery I will be the first to say."

'SNL' comedian taking break due to vivid 'out-of-body experiences' medical condition, more news

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Jul. 06, 2023July 6, 2023

Psychological battle

Bowen Yang is putting himself first. The "Saturday Night Live" star announced that he's taking a break from his podcast, "Las Culturistas," to treat "bad bouts of depersonalization," a condition where he believes things around him aren't real. "Taking a very short break from ['Las Culturistas']. Bad bouts of depersonalization are f****** me up bad, but I am doing my best to get better!" he wrote on his Instagram Story, per Page Six. "Please take care, be soon." Depersonalization, often associated with people who've experienced trauma, is a psychological condition in which people have out-of-body experiences that cause them to believe that things around them aren't real, according to the Mayo Clinic. On 2021, the comedian told People magazine that his parents once sent him to a gay conversion camp. "There was a huge chasm of misunderstanding. Neither side really understood where the other was coming from, and it led to very dangerous situations overall," he said. "What was always constant was the intention of love from both sides. It pushed me into questioning what it meant, what was protected and what I should be protective about in terms of being a queer person. I don't take it for granted."

'Burnt out'

In the lead up to her "Celebration" world tour, Madonna was, to her detriment, working hard to try to keep up with her younger pop star peers. Sources are now wondering if that mentality is partially responsible for landing her in the ICU. "The countdown was well and truly on. Madonna had all her chips on one number, which was this tour," a source told The Sun. "She was working overtime, but she clearly burnt herself out and people around her have been politely reminding her that she is not 45 anymore, let alone 25. She needed to pace herself. Pushing herself so hard was extremely risky." The "Vogue" singer seemingly saw that Taylor Swift and Pink were on hugely successful world tours and she wanted to compete. "Madonna was in good spirits before the incident, but some friends had encouraged her to take it easy and find time for rest because of the grueling schedule she had ahead of her," a source added. In the end, the hospitalization might have been a saving grace. "Many of us feel the constant remarks about her age have put pressure on her to compete, so we are relieved that she has been forced to take time out and put her health first. People were really worried about her," the source said. "Nobody would say it out loud but there were concerns about another Michael Jackson situation if she doesn't slow down a bit. Everyone saw something like this coming because of her intense schedule but only a few were brave enough to tell her that they were concerned."

Health scare

"New Amsterdam" actor Tyler Labine is lucky to be alive following a near-fatal health scare. In a candid Instagram post, Tyler said he experienced a stomach ache but thought nothing of it, so he tried to just sleep it off. Unfortunately, the pain was worse the following day, so he went to the emergency room. "And then sometimes your tummy ache turns out to be a potentially fatal blood clot in your intestines and liver and you have to spend the next 3 days in the hospital trying not to die. Just sometimes," he wrote. In the post, the actor shared a series of videos and photos from the hospital and ambulance. "I'm doing alright. Slow recovery but I'm here with my family supporting me and my lovely girlfriend Martha taking care of me," he wrote. "I'm counting my blessings and just possibly reassessing what's really important to me in this life."

Sounding off

Ezra Miller isn't holding back after a protective order against them expired. Back on June 30, 2022, a woman filed a protective order against Ezra on behalf of her young child, who's now 12 years old. The mother claimed "The Flash" star acted inappropriately toward the child and harassing the family. With that court order now over, Ezra is sounding off. "I'm encouraged by today's outcome and very grateful at this moment to everyone who has stood beside me and sought to ensure that this egregious misuse of the protection order was halted," Ezra, who uses they/them pronouns, said in a lengthy Instagram statement. The accusations, Ezra believes, "have been unjustly and directly targeted." "Protective orders are meant to provide safety for individuals, families and children who are in danger," they wrote. "They are not meant to be used as weapons by those seeking attention or fleeting tabloid fame or some sort of personal vengeance when there are people in true and dire need of these services."

Driving him crazy

Another driver is about to enter the roadways, and Luke Bryan is terrified. That driver is the singer's 15-year-old son, Thomas "Bo" Boyer. "He's 15 so he's doing the whole learner's permit nightmare," Luke said on Audacy's Katie & Company. "He is not a very good driver right now, so we're having to work with him pretty hard." It seems that things aren't going particularly smoothly, as Bo can't quite understand the difference between cars and off-road vehicles. "He's very frustrated right now because he thinks he knows how to drive, but he has no idea what he's doing," Luke said. "He thinks because he can operate a 4-wheeler or Polaris that he is quite proficient, but he is not, I assure you."

Strage fall

Man, she feels likes an ailing woman! Shania Twain took a hard tumble while performing on stage in Illinois over the weekend. Video posted to TMZ shows the country superstar walking on stage while "Don't Be Stupid" plays. She suddenly slipped and fell right on her behind. After the crowed audibly gasped, Shania threw her arm up and proclaimed "yeah!" She then went right back into the song as if nothing happened. A consummate pro.

Action star's dangerous speed-flying stunt left crew in 'absolute terror,' more news

by Wonderwall.com Editors Wonderwall Jul. 04, 2023July 4, 2023

By Wonderwall.com Editors 7:30pm PDT, Jul 4, 2023

Beautiful, delicate — and super dangerous

"Absolute terror." That's how Tom Cruise left the crew feeling on the set of "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One" when he executed a speed-flying stunt. Tom learned the extreme sport — which combines paragliding and parachuting, but in a much faster, foot-propelled format, usually down the side of a very steep mountain — for the movie, according to a new featurette about how it was made, via Variety. "Mission Impossible" director Christopher McQuarrie calls speed-flying "one of the most dangerous sports in the world," pointing out, "While it may look similar, speed-flying is not skydiving. Skydiving is fairly predictable. Speed-flying is very unpredictable."

To Tom, however, "it's a very beautiful and delicate sport," particularly as it appears in the film. "We're gonna do spirals, and we're landing at an incredibly high speed, over 80 kilometers an hour," says the actor, who rode a motorcycle off a cliff for another scene for the film. According to Christopher, however, the beauty of speed-flying did little to ease the crew's concern for Tom's life when he filmed the stunt. "Behind the scenes, we were all in absolute terror," he admits. "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One" hits theaters July 12.

Shading Kim?

Kourtney Kardashian has legally changed her name and license to Kourtney Kardashian Barker in the wake of her 2022 wedding to drummer Travis Barker. She announced the news on Thursday, June 29 — the same day "The Kardashians" aired an episode devoted to Kourtney's sister, Kim Kardashian's glam team-centric trip to the DMV, which she'd had shut down for the occasion of updating her license photo. Kourtney's timing seemed like more than a coincidence to fans who've been following her feud with Kim on the current season of their Hulu show. Sharing a black and white pic of her license above "Kourtney Kardashian Barker," Kourtney wrote "Say my name" in the caption, tagging the location as "Department of Motor Vehicles."

"Kourtney is totally mocking Kim's episode from today 😂😂," one fan wrote in the comments. "The same day the episode came out. Dare I say there's still beef," another added. A third person chided the reality star, commenting, "Lol after Kim's license episode…. It's not a comp kourtney."

On Thursday's episode, Kourtney vented about Kim's collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana for Milan Fashion Week just four months after Kourtney had teamed up with the brand for her wedding in Italy. "It's almost like a greediness," she said at one point, per E! News. "If I look at the photos from the fashion show, half of the time I'm like, 'Is this my wedding?'" While Kim insisted she was careful about not stepping on her sister's toes with the looks she chose for Milan, Kourtney pointed out repeatedly that her issue with Kim's partnership went beyond the runway show. "This was definitely not about a brand," she said. "It was about my wedding."

Unfaithful ex

SZA had mixed feelings about traveling to London to play at the O2 Arena this week, thanks to an ex. "I never told anybody," the singer said at one point during her show, according to multiple social media videos. "But, like, my boyfriend cheated on me in this city before," she said with a chuckle. "It was f****** terrible. That's why I was really sad to come here … but you guys made it so much better. Thank you!" The crowd cheered as the opening of her hit break-up ballad "Nobody Gets Me" began. "This song is about my other trash ex-boyfriend," she noted. "I have bad taste in men."

Speaking to Hot 97 in 2022, SZA revealed "Nobody Gets Me," which samples Mazzy Star's "Fade Into You," was inspired by how low she felt after breaking up with an ex-fiance, and her initial fear she was "doomed" because "nobody understood me the way he did."

Mama's boy

When Pete Davidson got his big break on "Saturday Night Live" in 2014, his mother, Amy Davidson, was not about to let trolls talk trash about her kid on social media. "My mom used to have a fake Twitter account when I first got 'SNL,'" Pete revealed on the "Family Trips with the Meyers Brothers" podcast this week, according to People. "You know the traditional 'SNL' trajectory: you first get the show, everyone loves you and then they stop and you actually have to be good at the show and then they love you again," he explained. "It was, like, my second or third year, and it was a lot of 'he's not useful' typical Twitter comments. And my mom made a f****** fake Twitter account under the name @JoeSmith1355 and would respond to everyone."

Pete went on to recall how "specific" Amy was in defending her son. "Like, 'Actually, I heard he's working on himself and does that quite often,'" he said. Eventually, though, she was caught and got the boot from Twitter. "They found out because her usernme was @JoeSmith, but her profile name was Amy Davidson and the profile picture was Amy Davidson," Pete said. "So, it was a picture of my mom, with a name that said @JoeSmith1355, commenting on all these haters … She got my back, dude."

Following doctor's orders

After landing in the ICU with what her manager called a "serious bacterial infection," Madonna is recovering at home on New York City's Upper East Side, where "she's feeling better and following doctor's orders and resting," according to an unnamed People source. The update comes after her friends Rosie O'Donnell and Debi Mazar both posted about her health on social media, telling fans on Thursday, June 29, she was doing "better" and "on the mend" after the scare. The singer, 64, was hospitalized due to the infection on Saturday, according to her manager, Guy Oseary, who said she's expected to make "a full recovery" but will not be hitting the road for her Celebration Tour as planned. She was scheduled to kick off the shows in Vancouver on July 15 and had reportedly been rehearsing on a grueling schedule prior to getting sick. TMZ reported on Thursday that Madonna was still "vomiting uncontrollably" when she was released from the hospital after spending multiple days in intensive care. Page Six initially reported the singer was "unresponsive" at some point on Saturday before she was treated for the infection.

More abuse allegations

Marvel actor Jonathan Majors faces multiple new allegations of physical and emotional abuse ahead of his domestic violence trial, which is scheduled to begin in New York City on Aug. 3. Late on Thursday, June 29, Rolling Stone published a wide-reaching expose about the star featuring nine unnamed sources who claimed he was abusive with a woman he was dating, allegedly strangling her and abusing her, emotionally. The outlet's survey of Jonathan's past relationships, romantic and otherwise, reportedly dates back to his "time in graduate school" at Yale. One ex who went on record with her name, Haley Carter, said she dated Jonathan as a teenager and remembered him as "sweet, kind and gentle" and "not violent in any way." Other sources gave very different accounts, including one woman who reportedly called her relationship with the actor "emotional torture" and people who worked on movie and TV sets with Jonathan "where production members raised concerns over his treatment of crew," according to Rolling Stone.

In a statement about the piece, Jonathan's attorney, Dustin A. Pusch, said: "Jonathan Majors vehemently denies Rolling Stone's false allegations that he physically, verbally, or emotionally abused anyone, let alone any of his past romantic partners … [He] also denies any allegations of abuse, violence, or intimidation during his time at Yale." The lawyer also claimed Rolling Stone "purposefully ignored" the statements he gave the outlet "from Mr. Majors's actual past romantic partners attesting to his character and the falsity of the charges." Rolling Stone, meanwhile, reported that it contacted the six people Jonathan's attorney had shared statements from, including Haley. As far as the others, three people reportedly claimed never to have given the actor "permission to release such statements." A fourth said the statement in her name was neither "truthful" nor something she'd "approved," and the fifth didn't respond to Rolling Stone. In her defense of Jonathan, Haley told Rolling Stone, "he is exactly the opposite of what these allegations say."

Remembering Alan Arkin

Alan Arkin, whose decades-spanning career began on Broadway in 1963 with a Tony Award winning performance in "Enter Laughing" and led him to many more award-winning performances in movies like "Little Miss Sunshine" TV shows like "The Kominsky Method," has died at 89. His sons confirmed the news of his death on Friday, June 30, calling the actor, director, screenwriter and dad "a uniquely talented force of nature, both as an artist and a man." Colleagues past and present also paid tribute to Alan on social media on Friday, with Billy Crystal praising him as "our greatest actors," writing that he was, "hilarious, heartbreaking, and the ability to be terrifying, his range was amazing." Paul Reiser also remembered the late star, posting, "A world without Alan Arkin is …not so great. I've loved this man from the moment he came on screen in 'The Russians Are Coming..' ('Whitaker Walt!') I was 8. Getting to know him – and getting a laugh out of him – is a highlight of my life. RIP dear friend." Ellen Barkin recalled Alan's "astounding range" as well, writing, "He could do it all and he did. And brilliantly. Watching him over the years taught me so much about acting. Talent like this is rare indeed. Rest in Peace Alan Arkin." When he died, Alan had recently been cast in "The Smack," which was in pre-production, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Country music singer calls for safety upgrade after being hit in the eye on stage amid wave of similar events, more news

Star struck

Kelsea Ballerini is being hailed as "a real class act" for her response after she was hit in the face on stage in Boise, Idaho, by an object that appeared to have been thrown by a fan. Video posted on social media shows a bracelet being hurled at the country singer before it hits her in the eye. In the footage, Kelsea looks startled then visibly winces before turning her back to the crowd as her bandmates rush to help her. After briefly pausing the show to walk off stage, she returns with her guitar. "Can we just talk about what happened?" she asks. "All I care about is keeping everyone safe. If you ever don't feel safe, please let someone around you know. There's security everywhere tonight. If anyone's pushing too much or you just have that gut feeling or anything, always flag it," she continues. "Don't throw things, you know?"

Kelsea shared a similar message on her Instagram Story after the show. "Hi. I'm fine. Someone threw a bracelet, it hit me in the eye, and it more so just scared me than hurt me," she wrote, according to Entertainment Tonight. "We all have triggers and layers of fears way deeper than what is shown, and that's why I walked offstage to calm down and make sure myself, band and crew, and the crowd all felt safe to continue. That's all I ever want, is for shows to feel like a safe place for us all."

This is the third time in a month a female pop star's been greeted by a flying object while on stage. In early June, Bebe Rexha had to have stitches after she was hit in the face with a concertgoer's cell phone in New York City. And in London on June 25, Pink briefly stopped singing when an audience member threw a small bag of ashes at the stage. It turned out to be the person's mother's cremated remains.

Health update

As he continues to recover from an undisclosed medical complication, Jamie Foxx "finally picked up the phone" to take a call from John Boyega, John told People at the June 27 premiere for the pair's new comedy, "They Cloned Tyrone." While John said his friend and costar is "doing well," an unnamed source later told the outlet Jamie's "still not himself" in the wake of his hospitalization. The People source also said Jamie is "getting the best care and working hard to recover," without sharing further details about the nature of his health problem. Jamie, 55, became ill in April while filming "Back in Action" with Cameron Diaz. His daughter, Corrine Fox said on social media a few weeks later that her dad was back at home, recuperating and in good spirits, but neither she nor her family members have revealed any specifics about what happened before the Oscar winner was rushed to the hospital. At Tuesday's premiere, Jamie's co-producer on "They Cloned Tyrone," Datari Turner, told People Jamie was "doing amazing" and would "be back at work very soon."

Calling out the 'wrinkle brigade'

Christie Brinkley called out trolls on Instagram on June 29 after spotting a slew of negative comments on a selfie she'd posted the day before. "Update: Whoa Nelly ! The Wrinkle Brigade is out in full force in the comment thread!" Christie, 69, edited her initial "downtown girl" caption to read. "They are the people that scan celebrities pages, hoping to find some cellulite , wrinkles , or anything that they can point to to to critique," she continued, adding that the criticism "must be somd [sic] form of compensation for some thing they are lacking." She went on to praise supporters whose "kind and valuable" messages always seem to appear to balance things out. "Those are the comments that restore my faith and make my heart sing! Thank you sweet souls," she added.

Among the "sweet souls" who shared positive words in the comments was a user who wrote, "One of the reasons Christie has been & always will be one of the world's most iconic beauties is bc she leads with kindness." Others were less generous. "Yikes what happened to aging gracefully? You're not at all the beauty that I grew up admiring! Lay off the fillers," one person wrote. "Is this a photoshop cartoon or really [Christie]?" asked another. As the comment scroll gained more traction over the course of the day, though, the model seemed to have more and more folks on her side, like a user who called out Christie's critics, telling them, "This beautiful lady is not your punching bag. She is an amazing 66 year old woman who has paved the way for so many in the fashion industry … SHAME ON YOU."

Clarifying 'falsehoods'

Jada Pinkett Smith says her forthcoming memoir "Worthy" will cover "everything" about her "controversial life" — including, it seems, a clarification of narratives related to her marriage to Will Smith. "I think people have made a lot of assumptions. And you know what? Rightfully so," the actress recently told People in an interview about the book. "I have to take ownership of that, in regards to the narrative that I've participated in, the falsehoods about myself. In the book, I really explain all of that extensively as part of my reclamation journey." Asked if Jada would cover "everything," confirmed she would. "It just so happens that there's some moments that a lot of people are aware of that I'll be able to break down," she said.

One such moment could presumably be Will's infamous Oscars slap, when he hit Chris Rock for making a joke about Jada's shaved head during an award presentation. (Jada suffers from alopecia, which can cause severe hair loss as well as shame, as she explained on a subsequent edition of her show, "Red Table Talk.") Another moment that seems likely to appear in the book is the revelation that Jada and Will have given each other the freedom to pursue extramarital sexual relationships, which Will discussed extensively while promoting his own memoir in 2021. "Worthy" hits shelves Oct. 17.

William's salary revealed

It pays to be the Duke of Cornwall — about $7.5 million, to be exact. That's the private income Prince William received in 2023 courtesy of his new Duke of Cornwall title, which he inherited when his dad became King Charles III after Queen Elizabeth II's death, according to the Duchy of Cornwall's 2023 annual report, published June 29. William, who is also now the Prince of Wales, is reportedly entitled to receive the duchy's surplus profits, but he only got a portion of the approximately $30 million profits in 2023 because the duchy requested extra funds to manage the dukedom's changeover from Charles to William, according to the Independent. Despite that fact, William's already facing criticism from those who were expecting a detailed report of his expenditures related to Cornwall, as Charles always published when the title was his. A rep for Kensington Palace said there would be no such report at this time in part because William and Duchess Kate "have been working through with their Duchy and household team their plans and priorities for the Duchy and the household in the years to come, and how these support their work and charitable priorities."

Cameo condition

Before she agreed to reprise her "Sex and the City" role as Samantha Jones in Max's "And Just Like That," Kim Cattrall gave the network one condition — and it was fashion-related. "It's very interesting to get a call from the head of HBO saying, 'What can we do?' I went, 'Hmmm… Let me get creative,'" Kim said with a giggle on "The View" on June 28, recalling the demands she made for returning after having said she'd never play Samantha again. "One of those things [was] … 'to get Pat Field back," she revealed, referencing the stylist for "Sex and the City," whose over-the-top looks spawned style trends galore during the show's long run. Patricia was not available to work on "And Just Like That," but she found a way to squeeze Kim's single-scene, Season 2 cameo into her schedule. "I just thought, you know, 'If I'm gonna come back, I've got to come back with that kind of Samantha style. I've got to push it.' And we did," she explained.

Kim also discussed enlisting Patricia's help in finding "a great fr**** outfit" for the scene with the hosts of "Today" during an interview for the June 30 edition of the show. Describing her shopping trip to Bergdorf Goodman with the renowned stylist, Kim said, "It felt like dipping my toe back in time and having a wonderful afternoon, and then a great martini."

'On the mend'

Madonna's longtime friend Debi Mazar shared an update on the singer's health after her manager confirmed she recently spent multiple days in the intensive care unit due to a serious bacterial infection. "To all of her fans-Madonna is on the mend & home resting!" Debi wrote on Instagram on Thursday, June 29, adding the hashtags "lioness" and "warrior." Debi's update comes one day after Page Six reported Madonna, 64, was rushed to a New York City hospital and intubated over the weekend after being found unresponsive. The outlet also reported she'd been working "12-hour days" in preparation for her upcoming tour. While her manager, Guy Oseary, has not confirmed those details of Thusday, he released a statement on Wednesday saying she'd been hospitalized but was expected to make "a full recovery." He also said her Celebration Tour will have to be put on hold for now.

Other celebrities who've weighed in with support for the star include her friend Rosie O'Donnell, who posted on Instagram that Madonna is "feeling good." Comedian Kathy Griffin, meanwhile, shared a TikTok video in which she called out social media trolls for "making fun of [Madonna] being obviously quite ill," comments she attributed to "ageism and misogyny."

Madonna's "Celebration" tour has been postponed after she suffered a bacterial infection that landed her in the intensive care unit.

Page Six reported that the Material Girl was found unresponsive over the weekend and was subsequently rushed to a New York City hospital. There, she was reportedly intubated "for at least one night before having the tube removed."

The report noted that the pop star is alert, responding and no longer in the ICU.

Madonna's daughter, Lourdes Leon, was by her mom's side throughout the medical incident.

Amid speculation around her wellbeing, Madonna's manager, Guy Oseary, confirmed the hospitalization but shied away from discussing the alleged intubation.

"On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which lead to a several day stay in the ICU," he shared in an Instagram post. "Her health is improving however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected."

Madonna was set to kick off an 84-date global tour in Vancouver, Canada, on July 15. The tour was set to cover music spanning across her 40-year career.

"I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for," she said in a statement in January after announcing the tour.

The "Like A Virgin" singer's last social media post showed her rehearsing for the tour.

Stars react to the new Supreme Court rulings

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Jul. 03, 2023July 3, 2023

By Mark Gray 7:07am PDT, Jul 3, 2023

_

On Friday, June 30, the U.S. Supreme Court made two controversial rulings: First, it ruled that a Colorado web designer is legally allowed to refuse to work with same-sex couples for wedding websites. LBGTQ+ advocates claim the decision will result in discrimination against the gay community. Shortly after, the nine justices struck down President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan, calling it unconstitutional. Both rulings were 6-3, and the conservative majority prevailed. After the decisions, many celebrities and notable names weighed in on the rulings. Clearly referring to the LBGTQ ruling, Andy Cohen tweeted, "Legalizing discrimination. Incredible." He later added, "HAPPY PRIDE."

"Dear Chief Justice Roberts: You have meddled with the primal forces of nature. And we won't have it!" –Ron Perlman

_

"Regardless of your opinion about the Trump presidency, his mark on the Supreme Court has been extraordinary. Decision after decision has restored a fundamental constitutionalist perspective to our legal landscape. Trump's agenda either remade or restored America – your choice," James Woods tweeted. Writing specifically about the student loan forgiveness decision, he penned, "You mean taxpayers won't get the satisfaction of spending their hard-earned money on gender studies majors' summer trips to France to study non-binary interpretive dance?"

_

"The Justice's words are chilling. None of us should stand for a ruling that makes anyone feel less than equal. Unacceptable. Under the law, and of course under God's eyes, we are all equal and must be treated as such." –Maria Shriver

_

After Joe Biden tweeted that the student loan forgiveness decision was "unthinkable," Dean Cain tweeted, "Unthinkable? I don't think that word means what you think it means… Perhaps… Unconstitutional?"

_

"This court really finds a new way to be historically unique a**holes every day," Josh Gad tweeted. In a follow up message, he added, "Same week: Whites mustn't be discriminated against at Harvard; Gays must be discriminated by those who wish to. I mean this with all my heart; please go f*** yourselves SCOTUS."

_

"Give me one good reason why anybody should pay off your student loans.." –Kevin Sorbo

_

"Impossible for me not to express my rage today at so many progressives who "couldn't get excited" or didn't show up in 2016. You were blind to the fundamental rights that were at stake. The most vulnerable citizens will pay the price of your f****** privilege. Vote." –Bradley Whitford

_

"Today (and everyday), I am saddened and devastated by our Supreme Court's agenda to eliminate racial, geographical, and socioeconomic diversity in higher education. They are pushing us backwards and furthering the archaic belief that rich white people deserve more. Disgusting." –Claudia Conway

_

"Roe overturned. Voting Rights stripped away. Gay rights damaged. Struggling Students hurt. Backs turned on Minorities. Elections have consequences. Vote Dems. Vote Biden." –Rob Reiner

_

"I'm sorry. In America, your right to exercise your religion doesn't give you a right to discriminate. If your business is open to the public, you don't retain some license to discriminate based on religious belief. Religious bigotry is still bigotry. SCOTUS should be ashamed. Just imagine if your "religious beliefs" told you couldn't serve an interracial couple, because that violates God's designs. That was the argument that failed in Loving v. Virginia 60 years ago, yet this SCOTUS gives religious intolerance a foothold here." –George Takei

_

"The Supreme Court's recent rulings were sadly predictable for anyone who understands the hard-right agenda. Their goal has always been to install Justices whose job is to turn back the clock on our freedoms, on decades of constitutional decisions, and on our continuing struggle to 'form a more perfect union' that includes all of us. Let's vote out their political enablers and rein in the dark, subversive money that supports them in their quest to reverse a century of progress." –Hillary Clinton
