DAN + SHAY, JUSTIN BIEBER TO PERFORM AT CMA AWARDS – (11/06/2020)

Dan + Shay are set to perform with Justin Bieber at next week’s CMA Awards show and will sing their hit single, “10,000 Hours.”

They share the same manager and thought of Justin Bieber while co-writing the song. Dan Smyers talked about first asking him to be on the tack and said: “He hit back right away like, he loves the song. Wants to do it. So we connected and he wrote a couple of lines on it, put his spin on it.”

In January, “10,000 Hours,” topped Billboard‘s Country Airplay, Hot Country Songs, Country Streaming Songs and Country Digital Song Sales charts all at the same time. The 2020 CMA Awards are scheduled for Wednesday (Nov. 11) and will air live on ABC.

LASHANA LYNCH TALKS 007 BACKLASH – (11/06/2020)

Not everyone was psyched when news leaked that Lashana Lynch would make history by becoming the first female, Black 007. In a cover story with Harper’s Bazaar UK, the 32-year-old Brit opens up about how the backlash affected her. 

It was so extreme, Lynch deleted her social media apps, saw no one but family members and meditated. She realized it wasn’t personal, she told the mag.

“I am one Black woman—if it were another Black woman cast in the role, it would have been the same conversation, she would have got the same attacks, the same abuse,” she told the outlet. “I just have to remind myself that the conversation is happening and that I’m a part of something that will be very, very revolutionary.”

In No Time To Die, Lynch plays an agent named Nomi. In a pivotal scene, she is given the spy’s code number 007 told to find Daniel Craig and urge him out of retirement. 

She hopes to use the role as a stepping stone to open up the narrative around gender and race. 

“I feel very grateful that I get to challenge those narratives,” she said. “We’re moving away from toxic masculinity, and that’s happening because women are being open, demanding and vocal, and calling out misbehavior as soon as we see it.”

Lynch added: “I didn’t want to waste an opportunity when it came to what Nomi might represent. I searched for at least one moment in the script where Black audience members would nod their heads, tutting at the reality but glad to see their real life represented. In every project I am part of, no matter the budget or genre, the Black experience that I’m presenting needs to be 100 per cent authentic.”

No Time to Die is set to be released on April 2, 2021.

ANDY COHEN PUSHING RHOM: Andy Cohen wants to revive The Real Housewives of Miami, and he tells the Everything Iconic podcast that he’s been pitching Peacock. The Bravo show was canceled after three seasons. “I have really been trying to get Peacock to pick up Miami,” he said. “I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this. I don’t know where we are with that. I have to say the fans of Miami are still very vocal, and so I’ve been an advocate for Peacock bringing back Miami.”
