ED SHEERAN WAS TOLD TO DYE HIS HAIR BLACK – (10/06/2020)
Ed Sheeran was once told that he’d never make it in the music industry unless he dyed his hair.
His manager, Stuart Camp, told the Straight Up podcast that his previous manager dropped him because “he wasn’t going anywhere.”
Camp said, “He had to drop the looping pedal, dye his hair black and give up the rapping.”
Fortunately, Sheeran stayed true to who he was and continues to put out new music. According to Camp, the “Castle On The Hill” singer has been recording new material and will probably put out a record at this time next year.

TORI SPELLING TALKS EYE CONTACT: After Jessica Alba revealed that she was asked to not make eye contact when she guest-starred on Beverly Hills, 90210, series alums Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling say it simply isn’t true. On their podcast 9021OMG, Garth recalls that she had scenes with Alba. “Like, if anybody was, you know, didn’t want to have their eyes looked into, it would have been me,” the 48-year-old actress said. “But, I don’t remember because I have the world’s worst memory.” Spelling then wondered if there was some “memo that was, like, going around from the producers or the ADs and we didn’t even know.” Garth added: “I only have, from the vague memories I have of working with her, I only remember her being super talented. She was very young. She was really sweet, and it does not surprise me that she’s gone on to be so successful.”
