Pop superstar Dua Lipa has kicked off her Radical Optimism Tour just a few weeks ahead of her Glastonbury Festival headline slot, but fans are confused by the setlist.
One month after the release of her chart-topping third studio album Radical Optimism, the pop star, actress, and holiday advocate is back on the road again, with her latest tour beginning in Berlin, Germany last night (5 June).
While Lipa launched her set with a fiery performance of Radical Optimism single “Training Season”, flanked by a handful of beefy backing dancers, the track is just one of a few from the album to actually make the setlist.
Across 17 songs in the show, the 28-year-old Barbie star performs just five tracks from her latest album, including lead single “Houdini” and latest single “Illusion”.
It’s her second album, the Grammy and Brit award-winning Future Nostalgia, that gets most of the air time, with the LGBTQ+ ally singing seven of the record’s 11 tracks.
Though Future Nostalgia received higher critical praise than Radical Optimism, fans are a little perplexed by Lipa’s setlist choices, given the name of the tour.
Specifically, fans are demanding the singer add Radical Optimism tracks “French Exit”, “Watcha Doing” and “End Of An Era” to the setlist with immediate effect. -

Lady Gaga would like to redirect your attention from speculating about future baby monsters to the importance of voting.
The pop superstar adeptly took on false chatter she is pregnant with a TikTok that borrowed from another famous singer.
Gaga uses a voiceover clip in which a person says, “I don’t have to find an aesthetic. I am an aesthetic. I mean, I’m sure there’s somebody out here right now who’s going into Pinterest trying to type all these adjectives to describe me.”
“Not pregnant–just down bad cryin at the gym,” is written over the video.
That’s a line from Taylor Swift’s single “Down Bad,” which is featured on “The Tortured Poets Department.”
Swift took noticed and responded in the comments.
“Can we all agree that it’s invasive & irresponsible to comment on a woman’s body,” Swift wrote. “Gaga doesn’t owe anyone an explanation & neither does any woman.”
Gaga called upon viewers of her TikTok to register to vote on the website, headcount.org.
The singer’s concert film “Chromatica World Tour” recently debuted on HBO. Gaga teased her forthcoming seventh album at the end of the movie. -
Sabrina Carpenter has been called out for her new album cover, with several people accusing her of taking a little too much inspiration from a years-old photo shoot in a French magazine.
On June 3, the 25-year-old pop star shared on social media that her new album, Short n’ Sweet, would be released on August 23. Alongside the announcement, she included a picture of the cover art, which shows her looking over her bare shoulder that’s been marked with a lipstick kiss.
Social media users pointed out that Carpenter’s photo bears an undeniable resemblance to a spread featuring French model Tiffany Collier, in which she is also looking over her bare shoulder with the same lipstick kiss stamp.
Collier had originally posted the image on Instagram in Feburary 2018, writing: “Happy Valentine’s Day.” She had also tagged the photographer Bruno Juminer.
While the “Espresso” singer’s post has garnered a lot of excitement from fans, there have also been a number of people criticizing Carpenter for not giving credit to the original photo. -

Adele addressed an audience member who appeared to yell an anti-Pride comment at her Saturday show, calling them "ridiculous."
But by Monday, fans on social media, some who claimed to be at the show, said the artist may have misheard the attendee’s remark.
Videos of the 16-time Grammy-winning singer at her Las Vegas residency circulated across social media on Sunday. Some initially praised her for her responding to someone who seemingly said "Pride sucks!" Others pointed out she was quick to respond without fully hearing what the attendee had said.
“Did you come to my f---ing show and just say that Pride sucks? Are you f---ing stupid? Don’t be so f---ing ridiculous,” the singer is heard saying in the videos. “If you got nothing nice to say, shut up, all right?”
A spokesperson for Adele did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Saturday was the first day of Pride Month, which is dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQ community. It’s often associated with parades and parties, as well as political rallies and marches to protest ongoing issues of inequity.
The iconic pop-soul singer has had no qualms about addressing audience behavior in the past. In July of last year, Adele dared fans to “throw something” at her while addressing a troubling trend in which fans toss objects at artists while they perform — often hitting and injuring them. -
Katy Perry kicked off Pride Month by posting a heavily edited version of Harrison Butker’s viral commencement speech, changing key messages of the controversial address.
Butker made headlines for a speech he delivered at Benedictine College May 11 that highlighted his views on gender roles, birth control, surrogacy, Pride Month and more topics. TODAY.com published a full transcript of the speech here.
On June 1, which marks the start of a month dedicated to celebrating and supporting the LGBTQ+ community, Perry shared an edited version of the Kansas City Chiefs kicker’s recent remarks on Instagram.
In the edited video, Butker’s words from different parts of his speech are spliced together to say, “For the ladies present today, congratulations on an amazing accomplishment. You should be proud of all that you have achieved to this point in your young lives. How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you’re going to get in your career? I would venture to guess that the women here today are going to lead successful careers in the world.”
In the modified clip, Butker's words are also edited to wish the crowd a happy Pride Month.
“I want to say Happy Pride Month to all of you, and congratulations Class of 2024!” Butker was edited to say.
In the caption, Perry wrote, “Fixed this for my girls, my graduates, and my gays — you can do anything.”
She added, “Congratulations and happy pride,” before including a Pride flag, a transgender flag and an orange heart emoji. -
Netflix’s latest sci-fi film Atlas might have a huge focus on technology and robots, but the film’s stars, Sterling K. Brown, Jennifer Lopez and Simu Liu, who chatted with Blavity/Shadow and Act’s Managing Editor Trey Mangum, say that the film is really about humanity.
“I think it’s about trust between people and learning to let people in so we can understand each other better and coexist better,” said Lopez, who plays the film’s heroine, Atlas Shepherd. “I think it’s about technology and learning to trust that, but also being careful.”
“It really is metaphorically letting somebody in and being brave to do that which I think all of us struggle with,” she continued. “We’re all kind of afraid and we have our trauma…and the hardest thing to do is let another person see you completely and know that you’re still going to be loved.”
“I feel like as a human being, we live in this idea of…the myth of separation, that we’re all separate distinct entities and that we’re sort of like vying against and for finite resources,” Brown said, who plays Colonel Elias Banks. “I personally don’t buy into it–I believe in the law of interconnectivity, like if we all take a minute and sit in our stillness and quiet, you recognize we are one. I think a lot conflict resolves when you see the world that way rather than something you have to compete against, but something you can cooperate with.”
Liu, who plays the A.I. soldier Harlan, said that he didn’t want to be “predictable” with his portrayal of a robot-gone-wrong.
“…I really gravitated to him in the beginning of the script…of being like a kid, when he’s this new artificial intelligence, he’s a newborn,” he said. “He’s so curious and he’s looking around at people and connecting with his family, and what happens, I think, is he stops being curious when he’s exposed to whatever he’s exposed to and he starts thinking, ‘I know what humanity needs–it’s to destroy it.'” -
Jennifer Lopez has canceled her 2024 North American tour, representatives for Live Nation confirmed to The Associated Press.
"Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends," they said in a statement.
The tour was to be her first in five years, in support of her first solo album in a decade, "This Is Me.... Now" and its companion film.
The tour was scheduled to kick off on June 26 in Orlando, Florida, and conclude in Houston on Aug. 31. Live Nation shared that attendees who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster will be automatically refunded.
Lopez offered her own statement to fans on her OntheJLo website and newsletter, writing, "I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn't do this if I didn't feel that it was absolutely necessary."
She continued: "I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time..."
"This Is Me... Now" was released early this year, 20 years after her hit album, "This Is Me... Then." Lopez told the AP that the new album was a "miracle," and "a second chance. And I'd love to capture this moment in time the way that album captured that moment in time." -
In one of those dumb ironies that can abound in Hollywood, the first Will Smith movie to be greenlit since the slap in March 2022 hinges on an innocent man trying to clear his name. Previous iterations of the odd-couple, cop buddy movie Bad Boys, starring Smith and Martin Lawrence as two foul-mouthed Miami cops quibbling as they tear through traffic, have centred on missing drug busts, money laundering and Klansmen.
In the latest instalment of the franchise, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, released next week, a criminal cabal frames the errant duo, turning them into fugitives from their own police department. Because nothing signals your earnest desire to give public restitution for assaultinga presenter at the Oscars like a burst of automatic-weapon fire, exploding propane tanks and Lawrence doing his “Oh shit” face.
Along with Smith’s recent appearance at Coachella to perform the song Men in Black, as if to neuralise everyone of unwanted memories, the movie represents a muscular attempt on Smith’s part to shore up and secure his base – the solid core of action-comedy fans who are the least likely to be perturbed by his actions at the 94th Academy Awards, which he turned into a slow-motion car crash worthy of Michael Bay. -
Johnny Wactor was killed on May 25 while shielding his bartending co-worker at Level 8 night club, Anita Joy, from gunfire. He was 37.
Anita Joy is breaking her silence. Days after Johnny Wactor died shielding Joy during a Los Angeles shooting on May 25, his bartending co-worker took to Instagram to address the tragic incident.
"I've needed to take some time to collect myself and my thoughts," Joy began her lengthy post on Wednesday. "I was with Johnny in his last moments and I'm here to be his voice after such unimaginable events."
Joy added, "He was killed senselessly by a coward who reacted without care of the gorgeous life he was taking. So I'm angry, I'm sad and I'm all of the feelings and once... but above all, I am here for Johnny's justice."
According to Joy, the shooting occurred early Saturday morning when she and the General Hospital actor, 37, were leaving their bartending shift.
"My friend of 8 years went from laughing together, working side by side, leaving our bartending shift and walking to our cars, to him dying in my arms in the streets of DTLA in the dark hours of 3am," she wrote, adding that the "basic details of this horrific story" boils down "to a few criminals trying to steal a car part."
In her post, Joy said that she and Wactor "cautiously approached the men, questioning what they were doing, at first thinking the car was being towed."
"We were no threat and Johnny kept his cool as he always did, simply stating that it was his car and for them to leave. Hands open to his sides in peace," Joy wrote. "Johnny was between me and the man who shot him - as I heard the shot ring into the night, he forcefully tumbled back into my arms and as I grabbed for him, I shouted, 'Hunny you ok?!' And he only responded, 'Nope! Shot!'" -
Billie Eilish and Finneas are getting real about their latest album Hit Me Hard and Soft.
In a new interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, the "Happier Than Ever" singer, 22, opened up about the "big fight" she had with her brother over the "context and subject matter" of the 2024 LP.
"We'd been writing these fragments of stuff and I felt... I've been proven wrong over and over, but this was the jag I was on that night. I was like, 'Subject-wise, I'm not being led into what you're actually feeling. And I think that there are real guards up,' Finneas, 26, said.
Speaking on the tricky songwriting process, he continued, "Oftentimes in your life, you're going through the thing that you're going to write about later. And that was for sure happening to Billie at that point in time where I'd be like, 'What's this about?' And she'd be like, 'Nothing.'"
The conversation led to an argument between the frequent collaborators, leading Finneas to express, "Just say how you feel, and let's write a song about whatever you're scared about feeling."
Chiming in, Eilish noted that her brother’s reaction at the time scared her, particularly when he said, "I don't like doing this anymore. I don't want to write music right now."
"I used to be like, '[I] hate making music, [I] don't want to make it, [I] don't like making it,'" the singer said. "It's frustrating. It's irritating. I love having made it. I love performing it. I love when it's good, but I really have always struggled with the process."
She said she was “finally enjoying the process” when Finneas was suddenly uninterested. -
Sunny Hostin weighs in on former The View co-hosts who speak negatively about their experience on the show after they leave.
In a new interview, the former prosecutor shared her disappointment with former co-hosts who trash their time on the ABC morning show.
“I’m always surprised when people speak negatively about our show if I’m being honest,” Hostin told Us Weekly. “We’ve had 27 years, we’ve had, maybe 24 co-hosts, and you were part of a sisterhood, and it’s really special.”
Hostin said she still talks to Sherri Shepherd, Paula Faris, and Candace Cameron Bure, who recently appeared on the show and sent her wine from her vineyard.
“We are all close regardless of our personal views,” she added. “We leave all of that at the table. I’m always surprised when someone says, ‘I don’t like that person,’ because it’s never personal, and we go into it knowing that.”
Although the names of the disgruntled former co-hosts didn’t come up, Meghan McCain and Rosie O’Donnell have publicly expressed their negative experiences on the show.
Hostin said that when she joined the show, Barbara Walters made sure she knew that the debates on-air were not personal, something that Whoopi Goldberg also says all the time. Furthermore, Hostin has carried on that legacy by advising co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin and telling her, “I’m going to argue you down to the ground, and then we’re going to go out for martinis and it’s going to be OK.” -
