THE JONAS BROTHERS MAKE A SURPRISE VISIT TO FAN IN CHEMOTHERAPY – (09/02/2019)

When a fan could not make it to the show Saturday due to chemotherapy, The Jonas Brothers took a detour on their way to Hershey Park Stadium, stopping by the hospital to visit her.

Lily Jordan, the teenage girl undergoing treatment at Penn Station Hospital, was surprised when the band walked into her room. They proceeded to ask if she had a favorite song they could dedicate to her, to which she replied, “Definitely S.O.S. That’s my favorite.”

Hours before the Jonas Brothers showed up, Jordan shared a post on Instagram that caught the eye of many users, including congressman Scott Perry. The post read “@jonasbrothers I was supposed to be at you Hershey concert tomorrow but instead I’m across the street doing chemo,” and continued, “If y’all wanted to pop in I’ll give you my room.”

After Perry shared the post, asking the Jonas Brothers to visit, it caught their attention just in time. 

Jordan, who also happened to be a big Game of Thrones fan, also took the opportunity to give a gift that she had for the Sophie Turner, wife of Joe Jonas. Before their time was up in her room, she gave Joe a bracelet to pass onto the star, saying, “I love her so much, so I wanted to give her that.”

SHAWN MENDES LAUNCHES THE SHAWN MENDES FOUNDATION – (08/30/2019)

Shawn Mendes has launched The Shawn Mendes Foundation, designed to inspire his fans to advocate for issues important to them and work to bring about positive change in the world.

Shawn says he wants to “make the voices of our generation heard” through the Foundation, which will support a variety of different youth-focused causes in the fields of healthcare, mental health and wellness, human rights, education, anti-bullying and sustainability.

The Foundation’s first two campaigns will benefit SickKids, based in Shawn’s hometown of Toronto, and REVERB. The latter helps artists reduce their environmental footprint and encourages music fans to take action to save the environment. The former is a leading pediatric healthcare institution.

When Shawn plays Rogers Center stadium in Toronto next month, a dollar from each ticket sold, as well as proceeds from Shawn’s partnerships with the Canadian brands Roots and Tim Horton’s, will go to the SickKids Charitable Giving Fund.

In a statement, Shawn said he’s “excited” to launch the foundation, noting, “For a long time, I’ve wanted to find a way to amplify the causes that my fans and I care deeply about, and to help make the voices of our generation heard.”

He adds, “My goal…is to work alongside my fans, and do everything I can to help provide them with a platform that inspires positive change, and empowers young change-makers.”

Shawn is also asking his fans and donors to help him decide which issues to address with future campaigns.

The Foundation will continue to work with charities that Shawn’s supported in the past, including Pencils of Promise, WE Day and March for Our Lives.

KERRY WASHINGTON PUBLISHES NUMBER IN BID TO CONNECT WITH (AND MARKET TO) FANS – (08/30/2019)

Kerry Washington is initiating a new way to keep in touch with her fans. While many celebs (Chrissy Teigen, Kim Kardashian) are known and loved for engaging with their fans on social media, few have waded out among the sweaty hordes and given fans carte blanche access to their person. And yes, as one might suspect, there’s also a catch. 

Scandal star Washington took the bold step on Thursday of sharing her number, explaining in her message that she missed her fans: “Hi, you guys, so you know how private I am but I am going to do something crazy. I am going to give you my phone number, which I know sounds insane. You know, I posted about this last week. I’ve been missing that TGIT love. We used to come together every Thursday night at the same time and the same place. I would know where you were and you would know where I was and we would talk about stuff that really mattered to us and kind of be in a community together and I want to bring some of that back because I miss you guys.”

She added that social media is “amazing” it can sometimes be hard to “sift through and really connect with the people who matter to you most.”

“So, I’m giving you my number it’s 718-400-7118, shout-out to the boogie down Bronx, and I really want you to text me,” she told her social media followers. “I want you to ask me questions, I’m going to send links like special sneak peaks.”

“You guys are going to be the people I am closest to in terms of trading information, so text me,” Washington concluded her video. “Really, really text me.”

While some fans responded that they were excited to cement their “BFF” status, others smelled a rat. “Well, I just texted you. Hopefully this leads to fun times. No way this is your real number though.”

And yes, as many suspected, it’s a marketing ploy .When you text her, you get a link and an auto-response that reads, “(H)ey it’s Kerry! Real quick — click this link & sign up so I can add you to my contacts and respond to you directly. Can’t wait to hear from you!”

The link takes you to a mobile-access-only form at Community.com where you’re asked to provide your name, birthday, city, gender identity and email, though that last bit is optional. And chances are, you’ll be hearing from her very soon.

ED SHEERAN ANNOUNCES HE’S TAKING A LONG BREAK FROM PLAYING LIVE SHOWS – (08/29/2019)

Ed Sheeran is taking an 18-month break after wrapping up his Divide tour, a run he’s been on for almost two years.

Ed announced to the crowd during his final show in Ipswich, England, that he’s taking a much deserved break. “As you may or not know, I’ve been on the Divide tour for over two years now and this is the last day of the whole thing. There is something very bittersweet about it. I love that you guys are here and we are ending it in Ipswich. This is my last gig for probably 18 months,” he told the crowd. “It’s been a wild one.”

He continued, “I was told before I came on that now at the end of this tour I’ve played to nine million people around the world. It is the biggest tour ever.”

“It’s been an emotional day for a lot of people backstage. It kind of feels like, in a weird way, that you’re breaking up with a girlfriend that you’ve been with for years,” he adds. “Thank you to everyone who has given me a chance.”

According to reports, Ed’s tour is on track to earn a record-breaking $750 million, making Sheeran the highest-paid solo musician of 2018.

Sheeran had previously taken time off after wrapping his mammoth x Tour in December 2015 to strengthen his connection with then-girlfriend – now wife – Cherry Seaborn. Sheeran confirmed that he and Seaborn had tied the knot in a video interview posted to his YouTube channel on the same day he dropped his most recent album, No.6 Collaborations Project, in June.

TAYLOR SWIFT THOUGHT IT WAS ‘HILARIOUS’ THAT JOHN TRAVOLTA MISTOOK HER FOR DRAG QUEEN LOOKALIKE – (08/29/2019)

Todrick Hall is spilling on Taylor Swift’s reaction to John Travolta’s VMAs mix up.

During the show, Tavolta presented the award for Video of the Year but when it came time to hand the Moon Person to Taylor, he accidentally tried to hand it to her drag lookalike Jade Jolie.

Todrick, who was an executive producer on the video, says that everyone thought the situation was very funny. “He was so confident that it was her. I loved it!” Todrick said during an appearance on the Jerry O’ show.

He added, “I saw it, and we talked about it backstage. Taylor thought it was hilarious…Everyone knows Jade is the Taylor Swift doppelganger so I think that is the highest compliment he could have paid her.”

RuPaul’s Drag Race star Jade Jolie posted about the moment on Instagram, joking, “Almost got my first award tonight thanks to @johntravolta.”

Travolta purposely refused to read the winner’s name at the VMAs because he was worried he might mess it up. At the 2014 Oscars, he mistakenly introduced Idina Menzel as “Adele Dazeem.”
