I saw on the local news that she cancelled a lot of her concert dates, but not all, so I assumed this is something she can recover from, if everything goes right, and that she'll be able to sing/perform again.

That's a shame. Hope she will able to recover from this. Celine is a national treasure.

The Wrap: Warner Bros Didn’t Cancel ‘Wonder Woman 3,’ Patty Jenkins Walked Off the Project (Exclusive) Also from Umberto Gonzalez:

As much I as loved WW1, you cannot let Patty and Geoff Johns back after what they did with WW2, which apparently they had full control over after WW1 doing so well. Whatever Gunn and Safran decide to do with WW3, I hope they bring back Gal.

Yes! Great work again, Georgia!!

Today’s episode was classic soap. You build up a secret for months and it comes out at a wedding. You even drag out the secret through multiple commercial segments. LOL The music and directing was also on point with the slow zooms and quick cuts of people’s faces.

A bit longer article from the LA Times: Behind the stunning exit of Disney CEO Bob Chapek

@janea4old Go for it. 😄

" The Justice Department is investigating whether Ticketmaster’s parent company Live Nation has abused its power as the dominant force in the live music industry, The New York Times reports. News of the investigation broke at the end of a chaotic week for Ticketmaster, which was unable to handle the massive demand for tickets for Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour.” The Swift debacle, however, is just the latest instance where Ticketmaster/Live Nation has garnered scrutiny, with similar chaos and frustrations over wait times and price mark-ups surrounding ticket sales for artists like Harry Styles and Bruce Springsteen. Despite the timing of the news, the DOJ’s antitrust division had already spent several months digging into Live Nation and Ticketmaster. Though specifics are scarce, the investigation appears to be looking at whether Live Nation does have a monopoly over the industry. ...... Along with the reported investigation, this week saw calls from congress to look into Live Nation. Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar — who chairs the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Competition Policy, Antitrust, and Consumer Rights — sent a letter to Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino expressing concern over what she called a lack of competition in the live music industry. New York representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also criticized the Live Nation/Ticketmaster “monopoly” and called to “break them up.” (After news of the DOJ investigation broke, AOC tweeted, “That was fast.”)" --------------------------- What perfect timing to announce this after this past week's fiasco with Taylor Swift concert tickets. Live Nation/Ticketmaster's monopoly needs to be broken up. Personal note: I did not get any tickets, despite spending hours trying.

Krazy Kari loses!! Way to go, Arizona!

Drake thought he was going to get another #1 but Taylor decided to block him by releasing 6 remixes. LOL Pure speculation on my part, based on what I know of Taylor, I bet she was a bit pissed off at her record label and Drake for dropping his album so soon after hers. He was suppose to released one week after hers but they delayed to two weeks. I think it was a mistake by Republic Records to release albums from their top 2 artists so close to each other. This is like Disney releasing an Avengers movie and then two weeks later releasing an X-Men movie. From Chart Data: - "Anti-Hero" rises to #1 on the Digital Song Sales chart for the first time with over 327K sold (up 1,793%), the biggest US pure sales week for any track in the 2020s decade. - "Anti-Hero" earns the biggest US pure sales week for any song since her own "Look What You Made Me Do", over 5 years ago. - "Anti-Hero" earns the biggest US sales week for any song this year, with over 550K units sold in its third week. It's the only song to sell over 500,000 in a single week this year.

Another DAYS legend gone. RIP John.
