ARIANA GRANDE BREAKS DOWN DURING EMOTIONAL CONCERT IN MAC MILLER’S HOMETOWN – (06/14/2019)

Ariana Grande’s latest concert took an emotional turn.

Ariana paid special tribute to her late ex, Mac Miller, during her concert in his hometown of Pittsburgh Wednesday night. According to concertgoers, she played the rapper’s music over the speakers at PPG Paints Arena before she took the stage. She also reportedly had an empty seat reserved for him.

“At the Ariana Grande concert in pburgh and Mac’s album is playing throughout the stadium before the show <33,” one fan tweeted.

Another wrote, “Ariana really had a Mac Miller playlist for the music before the show and she had an empty seat reserved for him. she’s so strong.”

During her opening performance of “Raindrops (An Angel Cried),” which is thought to be about the end of her relationship with Mac, she broke down and was unable to finish the song. She choked up again when she tried to sing the line “Wish I could say thank you to Malcolm/’cause he was an angel” in “thank u, next” – Mac’s birth name was Malcolm McCormick. With the help of the crowd, she made it through the song.

Miller died in September at the age of 26 from an accidental drug overdose. He had fentanyl and cocaine in his system at the time of his death. The two had dated from 2016 to the spring of 2018.

MILEY CYRUS RELEASES ASHLEY O’S ‘BLACK MIRROR’ VIDEO: Ashley O, the purple-haired pop star portrayed by Miley Cyrus in the new Black Mirror episode “Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too” on Netflix, stars in the new video for “On a Roll,” the song and video snippets seen and heard throughout the episode. “On a Roll” is a reworking of Nine Inch Nails’ classic song “Head Like a Hole.” In the clip, Miley as Ashley sings on a lit-up set while wearing a white vinyl two-piece outfit, surrounded by a troupe of backup dancers. It appears to be a normal pop video until near the end, when the picture appears to split and crack, like the graphic that opens Black Mirror. In between those cracks, the picture switches to black and white, and there are flashes of Ashley O looking upset and giving the finger. There are also scenes of Ashley O’s manager and aunt, Catherine, played by Susan Pourfar.

JUSTIN BIEBER WASN’T SERIOUS ABOUT TOM CRUISE FIGHT – (06/13/2019)

Justin Bieber says he was “just playing” when he asked Tom Cruise to fight him over social media.

Bieber reached out to UFC boss Dana White on Twitter earlier this week to if she’d be willing to stage a bout between himself and the actor, but he now claims the tweet was just a “random” joke, and wasn’t serious.

When asked if he really intends to fight Cruise, 56, Justin said: “Nah, I was just playing. The story is I saw an interview with him, and it was just on my mind … I don’t know why I thought about it. It was just a random tweet. I do that stuff sometimes.”

And the 25-year-old singer says even if Tom did agree to the grapple, he’d probably lose because Tom is “big” and has added strength thanks to being a father.

Speaking to TMZ, he added: “But I’m pretty sure Tom would … I’m pretty sure he’d whoop my a** in a fight. I’d have to get in good shape, I’m really skinny right now. I think he’d probably be out of my weight class. Because he’s big, you know he’s got that dad strength.”

Dana didn’t reply to Bieber’s message, but UFC champion Conor McGregor was quick to offer to host the fight instead.

He tweeted: “If Tom Cruise is man enough to accept this challenge, McGregor Sports and Entertainment will host the bout. Does Cruise have the sprouts to fight, like he does in the movies? Stay tuned to find out!”

A day after his proposal, Justin shared a fan’s augmented clip of a fight scene from Cruise’s movie Far and Away. The fan’s edit depicted a tussle between Cruise’s Joseph and an opposing character, with Justin’s face superimposed onto the face of the actor’s opponent.

The edited clip showed how a fight between the two A-Listers would have likely gone down, resulting in Bieber being knocked out by Cruise. “Damn Tom, this didn’t go as planned,” Justin tweeted.

SELENA GOMEZ DOESN’T HAVE INSTAGRAM ON HER PHONE – (06/13/2019)

Selena Gomez might have millions of Instagram followers, but she keeps the app off of her own phone.

Selena Gomez makes an appearance on Live! with Kelly and Ryan yesterday and opened up about her love-hate relationship with social media. “I used to a lot,” she shared about interacting with her fans more on Instagram and Twitter, “but I think it’s just become really unhealthy.” She continued:

[“I think, personally, for young people, including myself, to spend all of their time fixating on all these comments and letting this stuff in. It was affecting me. It would make me depressed. It would make me feel not good about myself and look at my body differently and all kinds of stuff.”]

Now, Selena doesn’t even have Instagram on her phone: “I have it on someone else’s phone, and when I feel like I want to share something with my fans or just mess around with it, I do it then.

Selena’s comments come after she said it was “impossible” to make social media a safe place while speaking at a press conference at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.

She said at the time: “I think it’s pretty impossible to make it safe at this point. I’m grateful I have the platform. I don’t do a lot of pointless pictures. For me, I like to be intentional with it. It just scares me. I’ll see these young girls at meet and greets. They are devastated, dealing with bullying and not being able to have their own voice. It can be great in moments. I would be careful and allow yourself some time limits of when you should use it.” She previously took a hiatus from her social media platforms last year, after she entered a treatment facility to focus on her anxiety and depression.

While on Live!, Selena also said would “definitely” date Bill Murray if the movie veteran was 20 years younger. The two really hit it off while they were filming the new zombie movie The Dead Don’t Die, and Selena admits he would be her ideal man – if it wasn’t for their 42-year age difference. She gushed:

[“He’s so cool. I just feel like he’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. He’s so genuine and so kind. I had a blast. “If he were 20 years younger, I would definitely (date him)!”]

Selena previously joked about marrying Bill in a post on Instagram after attending the project’s premiere with her co-stars and director Jim Jarmusch at the Cannes Film Festival in France last month.

“I’m so honored to have been a part of this movie with Jim and the whole cast,” she captioned a photo of the group. “By the way Bill Murray and I are getting married.”

Her remark came shortly after a photo of Bill whispering in Selena’s ear on the red carpet went viral, while they were also spotted holding hands, leading some gossips to link the pair as a couple.

But Selena says the sweet nothings fans think he is whispering to her are simply odd comments:

[“He just says the dumbest things. He’ll just ask me about hot dogs and say something else like, ‘You look nice, Gomez,’ and then he’ll just kinda like, lean in again and be like, ‘Where are you from again?’“]

MEGHAN TRAINOR PAYS TRIBUTE TO ONE OF HER BIGGEST FANS AFTER SHE PASSED AWAY – (06/13/2019)

Meghan Trainor has shared the heartbreaking news of the passing of one of her most dedicated fans, a young woman named Jalisa.

The singer paid a touching tribute to Jalisa, who she hailed as “one of her best friends” as she thanked her for following her around the world and pledged to “never forget” her devoted supporter.

She shared an Instagram collage of several photos of herself and Jalisa over the years and wrote: “I am so devastated by the news of my sweet Jalisa’s passing. Since the very beginning of my career I always had a beautiful familiar face at every single show, all over the world, supporting me and making me smile.”

Meghan went on to say that Jalisa was more than a fan and that she helped build a community of friends everywhere she went – a community called Whalebox, because growing up, Trainor had a whale mailbox.

While it is unclear how Jalisa died, the 25-year-old singer ended her touching tribute by urging her fans to look out for one another and shared the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number: 1-800-273-8255, for people who are struggling.

“We are stronger together. We need to support and look out for each other. Please know that whatever you’re feeling, you are not alone and there are people that can help,”

SELENA GOMEZ PLAYS ‘HOT ONES’ WITH JIMMY FALLON ON ‘TONIGHT SHOW’ – (06/12/2019)

Selena Gomez appeared on Tuesday night’s Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to talk about her new movie and partake in some extremely spicy hot wings during a special Hot Ones crossover.

During “Hot Ones,” each star had to eat four wings that increased in spiciness. Selena held her cool through the first two wings – but she was crying from the heat of the wings and could barely answer the random questions being asked by Hot Ones host Sean Evans.

By the last wing – Selena and Jimmy both were gulping milk and water and she was saying, “I hate it!” and asking, “Why do you do this to people?”

Later, during her interview segment – Selena admitted she had tossed her cookies after the “Hot Ones” bit was over. It seems Jimmy walked into her dressing room and asked if she was ok. She wasn’t… she turned around and still had a string of “full salvia” coming out of her mouth and down her chin – much to Jimmy’s delight.

Selena also told Fallon that she is “done” with her new album – it just needs a few tweaks. According to Gomez, one of the things that made it hard to finish the album were all of the “huge” moments in her private life:

[“I’m actually done … I have to do a few finishing things with it but I’m just relieved; it took me four years now to even fill out at a good place with this album and it’s just because I had such huge moments that happened in my life personally that how was I going to capture that and how is that going to actually feel good about what I was saying so I just kept going and I’m relieved.”]

She also described the vibe of the new album:

[“I think there’s always going to be a sense of strong pop in my in my music but I definitely explored more with electric guitar, a lot of more so soulful tracks underneath things, acoustic guitar. It all kind of hits different places that I feel like is my lane for music it’s just live in that world.”]

Selena also discussed her new movie, The Dead Don’t Die, which opens in theaters Friday – as well as her co-star, Bill Murray, who she calls “great.”

Speaking of Murray, it seems that after filming the new zombie-horror movie Selena and the actor formed an unlikely bond. Murray tells People that his preconceived notions about the star disappeared once he got to know her.

“I learned that I like her,” he says. “I learned that whatever preconception I had about someone that had 55 million, billion followers of something – maybe, I probably thought she was different than she turned out to be.”

He liked her so much, in fact, that he would’ve loved to introduce her to his mother. “If my mother were alive I’d bring her home to her,” he says, joking, “‘Mother. I want you to meet Selena.’”

KATY PERRY & TAYLOR SWIFT DECLARE ‘PEACE AT LAST’ WITH CRYPTIC COOKIE POST – (06/12/2019)

Katy Perry has revealed that she received a delicious gift from her former enemy Taylor Swift.

Last year, Katy sent Taylor an olive branch as she opened a concert tour in an effort to end a long-simmering feud. On Tuesday, Perry took to Instagram to share a photo with fans that featured a plate of chocolate chip cookies that Taylor baked for her. The plate was decorated with red frosting that spelled out “Peace at last,” and it was accompanied by peace signs decked in rainbow sprinkles. “Feels good,” Perry captioned the post.

Perry then directly reached out to her fellow music superstar, “feels good 🧡 @taylorswift,” which elicited a 13-heart acceptance from Swift, for whom 13 is a lucky number.

Swift’s sweet present comes after fans spotted her inclusion of Perry’s new single, “Never Really Over,” on her Apple Music playlist in May.

Fans had long wondered about the feud between the performers, with speculation rising after Swift told Rolling Stone that “Bad Blood,” a single on her 2015 album “1989,” was about another female artist, assumed to be Perry.

Overjoyed fans celebrated the ongoing reconciliation as they gleefully speculated about the possibility of a collaboration between the two music superstars.

Neither the Instagram post nor the accompanying tweet mention the possibility of a collaboration, but Perry also dropped another cryptic Instagram post and tweet shortly before the Swift outreach that might cause fans to ask even more questions about future music plans. It shows the back of a postcard with the typed title of her latest single “I Guess It’s Never Really Over” and a scribbled “Check Back Soon #NeverReallyOver.”

So, what could this mean? The most common theory is that “Peace at Last” might be a collaboration between the two stars that is coming out soon.

Taylor and Katy are both getting ready to release new albums after they dropped their new singles “ME!” and “Never Really Over,” respectively, in the last few weeks.

DUA LIPA SLAMS HATERS WHO CLAIM SHE PHOTOSHOPPED HER LIPS IN BABY PHOTOS – (06/12/2019)

Dua Lipa is firing back at internet trolls accusing her of using Photoshop to enhance a sweet baby pic she recently shared on social media.

Last month, the 23-year-old singer took to Instagram to share an adorable photo of herself as a toddler. Some of her 30 million followers, however, focused on her younger self’s full, pouty lips, with some even accusing her of Photoshopping her lips to make them appear larger.

Dua took to Instagram on Tuesday to slam the rumors. “to the people saying i photoshop my baby pictures to make my lips look bigger are mad madddd!” she wrote. “can’t believe i have to defend myself. you guys are on crack.” She strengthened her point by uploading a series of more baby photos and in each of them, she’s rocking her characteristic full lips.

One Instagram user wrote, “So we can’t even trust people’s baby pics now,” while another slammed the, commenting, “Some bad photoshop too lol your kid lips aren’t as big as your adult lips no matter the plumpness.”

In April, Lipa revealed the valuable advice a fellow pop star gave her about Internet hate. “When I met Katy Perry, she was like, ‘I hope you don’t search your name,’” the London native said in the cover story for ELLE’s May issue. “She was like, ‘That’s what I did at the beginning of my career, and I’d get upset about every tabloid that said something about me.’ She said, ‘Do not have notifications on. Do not read that sh*t, because it will stop you from doing what you love.’”

BRITNEY SPEARS’ DAD FILES FOR CONSERVATORSHIP FOR SINGER IN LOUISIANA – (06/12/2019)

Britney Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, wants a judge to grant him legal guardianship of his famous daughter in yet another state.

According to documents obtained by The Blast, Jamie, 66, recently filed for conservatorship of the 37-year-old pop star in her home state of Louisiana. He also mentioned that he plans to register in Hawaii and Florida, where Britney frequently vacations. He has had conservatorship, which allows him to make decisions about her financial and personal affairs, in California since 2008.

In May, Britney made a rare joint appearance with Jamie and mom, Lynn Spears, at a  Los Angeles Superior Court to discuss her case. At that hearing, a judge ordered Britney to undergo an expert evaluation to determine the status of her mental health and competence.

Britney’s mental health came to the forefront when she checked herself into a mental health facility on April 3rd amid reports she struggled with her father’s colon condition. She checked out of the treatment center on April 25th.

She recently vacationed with boyfriend, Sam Asghari, in Miami, where she slammed paparazzi for allegedly editing her photos to make her appear heavier. The singer has also shared with fans that she’s been attending therapy.

Now, Britney is showing off a new haircut. She posted a video showing off her new hairstyle for her fans on her Instagram on Tuesday.

 “I just got my haircut and new highlights. A girl with new hair. What am I gonna do?” she said in the video, which she captioned: “Maybe I should go shopping 🛍 🤫🤔😜”

Kim Kardashian, 38, is giving fans a better look at her fourth child with Kanye West, Psalm. The pair welcomed Psalm via a surrogate on May 9.

She captioned the sweet shot of a sleeping Psalm: “Psalm Ye,” leading many to wonder if Ye is their son’s middle name. If so, Psalm would be their only child with a middle name. Her other children, Chicago, 1, North, 6, and Saint, 3, don’t have middle names. 

Kim shared the first image of Psalm on May 17th, revealing his name and a text message Kanye sent her upon his arrival. “Beautiful Mother’s Day with the arrival of our fourth child. We are blessed beyond measure. We have everything we need,” the message read.

Social media users issued an alert over the fact that Psalm was resting in a crib full of soft objects; many were concerned about breathing issues. A source close to Kim dismissed their concerns, telling People was a “staged photo” and that as “a mother of four, Kim very much knows how to keep her newborn safe in the crib.”

ARIANA GRANDE SHOWS SUPPORT FOR LGBTQ FANS AFTER ANTI-GAY PROTESTER SPOTTED AT CONCERT VENUE – (06/11/2019)

Please note the following story contains language that could be considered offensive.

Ariana Grande shared some loving words for her LGBTQ fans after video surfaced of a homophobic protest outside her concert.

In a profanity-laden Twitter post from a fan, at least two men are shown standing outside the Atlanta venue where Grande was performing on her Sweetener world tour, holding a microphone and a rainbow flag with a slash through the word “Pride.” One of them cited the Bible in making his homophobic comments.

BRITNEY SPEARS CALLS OUT PAPARAZZI FOR ALTERING HER PHOTOS – (06/11/2019)

Britney Spears is sharing a conspiracy theory about photos that are taken by paparazzi in a series of videos.

“Hello, and please don’t judge me, I look haggard right now,” Britney began the series of videos on her Instagram Story.

“A lot of fans, in our world today, they always are subject to really criticize people and say that the pictures and videos that they’re posting are either not on time or they’re fake. But no one ever really asks, ‘Are the paparazzi pictures fake, and do the paparazzi people do stuff to the pictures, and is the news really real?’ It’s a conspiracy theory that I’m actually interested in,” Britney continued.

“Yesterday, I went swimming. I look like I’m 40 pounds bigger than I am today. This is how I am right now, and I’m skinny as a needle. You tell me, what is real?” Britney added.

The most recent paparazzi photos of Britney are from this weekend where she could be seen enjoying some fun in the sun on a jetski with boyfriend Sam Asghari in Miami.

Ever since Britney’s recent stay in a mental health facility, fans have accused her team of posting old photos and videos to make her seem as though she’s fine, even though she may not be. 

The photo agency that released the photos that Britney appears to be talking about calls her claims “ludicrous.” Speaking to Page Six, a rep for the photo agency says, “We think Britney looks great and it’s ludicrous to suggest the photos or video were altered in any way. They were not. We shot thousands of photos of her over the weekend and are very happy to let her see the original files if she so wishes. It was good to see her happy and having fun and we wish her well.”

Spears called out conspiracy theorists last month with a video of her doing three outfit changes, saying, “For those of you who don’t think I post my own videos, I did this video yesterday, so you’re wrong, but hope you like it.”

RIHANNA SPILLS THE BEANS ON HER LOVE LIFE – (06/11/2019)

Rihanna has graced the cover of the latest issue of Interview magazine, where she opened up about her secret love life. Rih revealed that she has found happiness with her boyfriend, Hassan Jameel, saying, “I got into a new relationship, and it matters to me. It was like, ‘I need to make time for this.’ Just like I nurture my businesses, I need to nurture this as well. I’ll shut things down for two days, three days at a time. On my calendar we now have the infamous ‘P,’ which means personal days. This is a new thing.” When asked if she’s in love, Rih said, “Of course I am.”

On if wedding bells are in the air, Rihanna said, “Only God knows that, girl. We plan and God laughs, right?” 

She also opened up about taking personal time for herself and why she hasn’t released a new album yet. On setting aside personal time, the singer said, “It’s only the last couple years that I started to realize that you need to make time for yourself, because your mental health depends on it. If you’re not happy, you’re not going to be happy even doing things that you love doing.”

She also said that her schedule is the reason why she hasn’t released an album in over three years. Rih explained, “It’s the reason why an album isn’t being spat out like it used to. I used to be in the studio, only the studio, for three months straight, and an album would come out. Now, it’s like a carousel. I do fashion one day, lingerie the next, beauty the next, then music the next. It’s like having a bunch of kids and you need to take care of them all.” 

She went on to say, “It really does suck that it can’t just come out, because I’m working on a really fun one right now. I’m really happy with a lot of the material we have so far, but I am not going to put it out until it’s complete. It makes no sense to rush it, but I want it out. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m like, ‘Even if I don’t have the time to shoot videos, I’m going to put an album out.’”

TWITTER THIRSTY FOR BRADLEY COOPER, LADY GAGA HOOK-UP – (06/10/2019)

When Twitter learned that Bradley Cooper and his girlfriend Irina Shayk broke up, the mourning period was brief (possibly nonexistent). Almost immediately, memes started popping up predicting a Cooper-Lady Gaga romance. 

The pair, who starred together in A Star Is Born, sparked romance rumors while shooting the movie, but when they performed “Shallow” together onstage at the Oscars in February, the spark turned into a bonfire. Many in the audience and following on social media predicted Cooper and Shayk’s imminent demise. 

The pair dated for four years and share Lea De Seine, 2. According to reports, they’d been drifting apart for months before their split became public.

“[Irina is] not focused on the celebrity part, or on the fame — she just wants to protect her family,” a source tells People of the supermodel. “Bradley is very into work and is trying to take advantage of every career opportunity right now.”

After his Oscar-winning directorial debut for A Star Is Born, Cooper, 44, is preparing to direct, co-write and star in a biopic about the legendary composer Leonard Bernstein. Shayk, 33, is keeping busy herself, flying around the world to model. In March, she covered Vogue Japan; in June, she covered Elle and Vogue Hong Kong.

FANS SPOT TYPO ON TAYLOR SWIFT MERCHANDISE – (06/07/2019)

Fans have found a typo on their Taylor Swift merchandise and took to social media to discuss it.

On the clothing, the first word of the lyric from Taylor’s latest single ME! “You’re the only one of you, Baby that’s the fun of you” is misspelled “your’e.” The blunder is all the more entertaining given the song also contains the line: “Hey, kids! Spelling is fun!”

The error was initially spotted and posted by Twitter user April, who said: “EXCUSE ME! I’ve had this shirt for nearly a month and you’re telling me it’s had a typo THIS WHOLE TIME!!” She went on to add:” I still love my shirt Taylor.” Her tweet has since gone viral and more fans have now responded having noticed the error on their own items.

The mistake isn’t included on every top, though, leaving some with the typo to hope they may be in for a treat from Taylor. Some also wondered if the mistake was deliberate and it was in fact Taylor dropping more clues. “PLOT TWIST: it’s a clue for Taylor!!” said one. “What if it’s an Easter egg?” commented another.

WIFE OF WARRIORS OWNER EXPLAINS BEYONCE INCIDENT – (06/07/2019)

A video has gone viral of Beyoncé and JAY-Z court side at Game 3 of the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors game. Bey appears to be giving the wife — Nicole Curran, of the Warriors owner a mean side-eye, while the wife speaks to JAY. 

After receiving much backlash from the BeyHive and social media, Curran explained what really happened between her and Beyoncé. Curran reportedly spoke to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne about the incident and said she asked the Carters if they wanted drinks. Apparently, she leaned over to hear JAY over the noisy crowd. 

Shelburne took to Twitter to explain further, and said, “Just spoke to Nicole Curran, the wife of Warriors owner Joe Lacob, about the ‘incident’ with Beyoncé last night. She was in tears. Said she had been getting death threats on social media all night  this morning she disabled her IG account just to make it stop. Curran said she had no idea anything was even amiss until she got home and started seeing texts from friends and checked her social media. She’s invited Jay Z and Beyoncé to the game  3-4 times before. Last night she says she asked if they wanted drinks. Beyoncé asked for water. Curran says Jay Z asked for a vodka soda. She asked if he wanted lime with that. But it was loud in Oracle and she couldn’t hear, so she leaned over. That’s where the photos of Beyoncé looking askance at her come from.” 

Shelburne added, “Curran says she then went to go get them those drinks. ‘There was no hostility. I was trying to be a good hostess,’ she said. ‘I’ve never experienced cyber bullying like this. I can’t believe our players go through this. That kids go through this.’”

Bey’s publicist has also stepped forward to call out fans for “spewing hate” at Curran. Yvette Noel-Schure wrote on Instagram, “I am looking back today at the start of The OTRII tour, one year ago. It was a place of joy, unimaginable entertainment from two of the best performers in the world, and a place of love. Every single day on that tour I saw love. Which is why I also want to speak here to the beautiful BeyHiVE. I know your love runs deep but that love has to be given to every human. It will bring no joy to the person you love so much if you spew hate in her name. We love you.”

The app is launching a new program to combat gender disparity in the music biz and is offering female musicians the chance to be mentored by a variety of artists, including Bebe Rexha, Grammy-winning country star Kacey Musgraves, and Hayley Kiyoko.

The mentoring sessions will take place at one of five music festivals this year: Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Music Midtown, Austin City Limits or Voodoo Music + Arts Experience.

Applications for the mentoring programs and the live performance opportunities close June 30th.

Meanwhile, Bebe Rexha will hit the big 3-0 in August, but she’s not scared of getting older – because her skills in the bedroom have improved with age.

Speaking to People magazine at the CFDA Awards on Monday, Bebe boasted, “Dirty 30! You know, a lot of times women are meant to feel bad about turning 30, and I’m like, ‘Honey, I am a better lover now than I was 10 years ago!’” She added, “I’ll [make love to you] so good, you don’t even know, so don’t even try!”

The singer joked that her manager would “kill” her for the comments, but added, “You know what, it’s the truth!”

MAC MILLER DOCUMENTARY PUT ON HOLD – (06/05/2019)

The forthcoming documentary on Mac Miller has been put on hold. According to Rap-Up, filmmaker and Jet Life Creative Director CJ Wallis announced on Monday (June 3rd) that he and his production company, Margrette Bird Pictures, were in the beginning stages of developing a documentary about Miller. In a since-deleted tweet, Wallis wrote, “So, over the next year I’m going to start collecting interviews & content to make the definitive @MacMiller documentary for his family, friends & fans.” 

It appears that the announcement may have been premature. Wallis revealed that after news surfaced of the documentary, the late rapper’s family and management contacted him asking that the project be put on hold. 

He tweeted, “We tweeted our intentions to begin developing a doc on Mac over the next year. At the same time, we reached out to all those closest to him to begin the process of making it official. We heard back from @christianclancy & The Estate who said the family has requested we hold off on the project at this time. We immediately compiled as the last thing we’d want is to negatively impact anyone involved, quite the opposite. We felt comfortable announcing our intentions in advance of receiving permission because they were just that – intentions. The concept was peers telling their one favorite Mac story & cutting them together as a motivational & positive picture. Not a life story. The outpouring of support for the doc and that it was us trying to make one was humbling, and in time perhaps we will get to see it through. For now, we have hours of incredible music and thats always been more than enough. Respect/Love….#ripmac”
