The Jonas Brothers paused their Sunday concert in Anaheim, for a special moment with their percussionist, Molly Lopresti. Joe shared that when they asked her to go on tour with them this year, she nearly declined. "Look, I'd love to go on tour with you guys, but the only problem is I'm supposed to get married to my fiancé, Nick Shirm," Joe said Molly told them. "We said, ‘Let's figure this out, we gotta help them out in some way. If only we knew an ordained minister on this tour,'" Joe teased, implying he got ordained. "Oh wait, we do." Joe then called Shirm to join his fiancée on stage, and the ceremony was underway, including a makeshift 'aisle' on the stage. The couple exchanged vows and rings, kissed, and had their first dance as the Brothers performed "When You Look Me in the Eyes."
Mom’s Spaghetti, the Detroit restaurant inspired by the lyric in Eminem's 'Lose Yourself, will now offer its “Mom’s Spaghetti Pasta Sauce” online with nationwide shipping. “Get your sweaters ready for some tasty s’ghetti sauce,” the product description reads. “For the most legitimate Mom’s Spaghetti pasta, pull some pre-cooked spaghetti from the fridge and reheat in a frying pan while adding your Mom’s Spaghetti sauce.” Eminem opened the Mom’s Spaghetti diner in 2021 after several popular pop-ups, even showing up to serve some lucky customers himself. But this is the first time the 25-ounce jars of sauce will be available on their own. The Detroit rap icon also donated cups of Mom’s Spaghetti to Michigan heathcare workers during the height of the COVID pandemic.
According to a Bloomberg News analysis, Taylor Swift’s net worth has risen to $1.1 billion thanks to her blockbuster Eras Tour. The report also estimates that her 53 U.S. concerts this year generated $700 million in ticket sales and added $4.3 billion to the country’s GDP. That's not counting the upcoming international leg of the tour or the profits from the Eras Tour concert film. Bloomberg says it has deemed Swift a billionaire based on “assets and earnings that could be confirmed or traced from publicly disclosed figures,” meaning her actual net worth is likely a lot higher. Swift’s latest re-recorded album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), dropped Friday, and she quickly became the most-streamed artist in a single day in Spotify history. It's also Spotify's most-streamed album in a single day in 2023 so far.
Lizzo's attorney has filed a motion to dismiss the sexual harassment lawsuit filed by 3 of her former dancers, calling the accusations a “fabricated sob story” that was created by “opportunists” who are seeking “a quick payday.” Celeb lawyer Martin Singer, known for defending Chris Brown, Bill Cosby, and Johnny Depp, wrote: “Plaintiffs embarked on a press tour, vilifying defendants and pushing their fabricated sob story in the courts and in the media. That ends today. Instead of taking any accountability for their own actions, plaintiffs filed this lawsuit against defendants out of spite and in pursuit of media attention, public sympathy and a quick payday with minimal effort.” Lizzo has denied the allegations, arguing that the plaintiffs were fired over their own inappropriate and unprofessional behavior.
