Leaked Trump Docs: Billie Eilish Is “Destroying Our Country and Everything We Care About”
In what would have been the biggest scandal in almost any other presidency, Trump administration officials attempted to hijack $250 million allocated for a coronavirus awareness campaign, with the hope of using taxpayer money to instead boost Donald Trump’s re-election chances. Now, leaked documents have revealed the administration’s notes on potential celebrity endorsements, including a concern that Billie Eilish is “destroying our country and everything we care about.” The story began when the Department of Health and Human Services sent out a “performance work statement” to several communication firms regarding a $250 million contract. An exposé in Politico raised concerns about the partisan intentions behind the advertisements, especially as HHS is supposed to remain independent. This ...
Selena Gomez, Joe Jonas, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Kacey Musgraves and More Stars Who Voted Early
More than 14 million Americans have voted so far, and with less than three weeks left until the Nov. 3 election, this year’s tallies are on track to be historic, with some states already posting 10-40 percent of the total votes counted in 2016 through a combination of absentee and in-person early voting. And, well, stars, they’re just like millions of other patriotic Americans who trust the nation’s election system: They’re getting out early too. “Just finished filling out my ballot!” Selena Gomez wrote on Instagram Thursday (Oct. 22). In a slideshow of pics, she shows off her “I VOTED” sticker. Mandy Moore cast her ballot, but made it fashionable, posting a short video in which she busted out her black leather Stuart Weitzman 5050 ...
20 Questions With The Goo Goo Dolls: Why They Made a Holiday Album During ‘The Sh–tiest Year Ever’
Ahead of the album release, Rzeznik answered Billboard’s 20 Questions about the Christmas LP, his humble beginnings and the Netflix show he’s binge-watched multiple times. 1. What’s the first piece of music that you bought for yourself, and what was the medium? It was a 45 RPM of “Fox On The Run,” by the band Sweet. 2. What was the first concert you saw? Van Halen. I was 12 years old, so it scared the hell out of me at the time. 3. How did your parents shape your musical taste? My dad liked jazz records, and my mother loved singer-songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King. I also had 4 older sisters, so I was constantly hearing what they were listening to. 4. Who made you realize you could be an artist full-time? That’d probably be Robby [Takac, Goo Goo Dolls bassist]. But we weren’t f...

Now, Grammy-winning producer Dave Audé has gifted us a Coyote Ugly megamix featuring all four of Rimes’ hits mashed up into a dancefloor-worthy extravaganza of beats and lyrics you still...

That leads Silverstone to ponder: “If I didn’t have these answers, I’m really curious if I would know these answers. … I’m just wondering if you were given the cheat sheet before this!” During the round, Rexha admits that revisiting the film as an adult brought new understanding to some of the lines and props. “Watching the movie growing up, I didn’...
