USING ‘MY FAVORITE THINGS’ MELODY REQUIRED ARIANA GRANDE TO GIVE UP 90% OF ‘7 RINGS’ ROYALTIES: On her track “7 Rings,” Ariana Grande sings about using her hard-earned money to buy some of her favorite things. But, she’s not earning much money from the song itself. The New York Times reports that Ariana signed away 90% of her songwriting royalties to legendary songwriting duo Rodgers and Hammerstein. That’s because the majority of the song’s melody is from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein classic “My Favorite Things,” sung by Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music. Republic Records reportedly made the licensing deal just weeks before the song’s January release and, without further negotiation, agreed to hand over the hefty percentage to Concord, the company that owns the Rodgers and Hammerstein catalog. Rodgers and Hammerstein died in 1979 and 1960, respectively.
KATE BECKINSALE INTRODUCES PETE DAVIDSON TO HER MOM – (03/21/2019)
In another sign that Kate Beckinsale, 45, and Pete Davidson, 25, are seriously into each other, Beckinsale introduced Davidson to her mom Judy Loe, 72. They went out to dinner and marked both the celebratory introduction, but also the sad 40th anniversary of Beckinsale’s father’s death.
They dined at Nobu along with Beckinsale’s stepfather Roy Battersby. Davidson was seen driving, with Beckinsale sitting shotgun and her mom and Battersby riding in the back of Davidson’s Range Rover.
Earlier in the day, she paid tribute to her father Richard Beckinsale, who died suddenly at age 31. She wrote on social media: “40 years is a lot of mcissing. Thank you so much to everyone who has been kind. Lots of love xx.”
Davidson’s father also died when he was a child. The pair were first spotted together at the Golden Globes in January, and have been spotted out and about several times since.
KYLIE JENNER AND JORDYN WOODS ARE OVER? TMZ is reporting that Kylie Jenner is done with Jordyn Woods after she made out with her sister Khloe Kardashian’s boyfriend Tristan Thompson. The longtime friends were rumored to be talking again, but TMZ says Kylie is over Jordyn and ready for her to pick up the remaining belongings she has stashed at her guest house.
GWEN STEFANI AND BLAKE SHELTON REPORTEDLY PUT WEDDING PLANS ON HOLD FOR RELIGIOUS REASONS – (03/21/2019)
It looks like Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are waiting for the church’s seal of approval before they walk down the aisle.
Stefani, a practicing Roman Catholic, recently “began the formal process” for church officials to annul her marriage to ex-husband Gavin Rossdale. The couple wed in 2002 and finalized their divorce in April 2016. The reason, Us Weekly reports, is “so she can marry Blake and have it be recognized by the church.” “Gwen’s religion has always been extremely important to her, and Blake is completely supportive of that,” a source tells the mag.
The Catholic church will annul a marriage if there is proof of defect of form, defect of contract, defect of willingness and defect of capacity.
Given that Stefani and Rossdale were married for 13 years, it’s unclear what grounds Stefani may be seeking an annulment under.
Us Weekly also alleges living arrangements may be a hang-up, since Gwen is based solely in Los Angeles, while Blake splits his time between L.A. and his native Oklahoma.
Blake and Gwen revealed their relationship in November of 2015, after his surprise divorce from Miranda Lambert the previous July.
Stefani and her ex-husband share three children – Kingston, 12, Zuma, 10, and Apollo, 4. Shelton does not currently have any kids, but he has been married and divorced twice.

Ariana Grande celebrated the kickoff of her Sweetener world tour, which began last night in Albany, New York, with a new modification to one of her old tattoos.

“post run thrus, 3 am with @girlknewyork :),” she wrote, tagging the tattoo artist Mira Mariah, who has inked several other designs on Grande in the past. “not a cover up just evolvin also, our show opens tomorrow. i love u and i’m so grateful. see u soon.”
On her Instagram Story, she posted a longer note about her tour, writing, “Literally never thought I’d be doing this. Six months ago, I didn’t think it [was] at all possible but I’m very grateful that it was and we did. Music is everything. Friendship is everything. Art is everything. I’m so proud of my incredible team…y’all are the best there is and I’m so grateful to create w/you.”
KHLOE KARDASHIAN HITS BACK AT REPORTS THAT SHE THINKS TRISTAN IS A BAD DAD – (03/19/2019)
Khloe Kardashian is clearing rumors that she is unhappy with ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson’s parenting style. The pair famously split after he got busted cheating on her (again!) with Kylie Jenner’s bestie, Jordyn Woods. (The first time, she took him back after he allegedly strayed with other women shortly before she gave birth to True in April).
The Revenge Body star hit up Twitter in the wake of reports that she’s “extremely upset” with Tristan.
“He is a good dad to her,” she responded to a fan on Twitter. “My sweet and special baby True will NEVER be put in the middle of him and I. I can promise that”.
DWAYNE JOHNSON DRAGGED FOR CALLING TANK NAMED FOR HIM ‘SEXY’ – (03/19/2019)
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is celebrated the world over for his strength. So it’s not a shock that the 1stArmored Division at Fort Bliss decided to name a tank after him.
They announced the move in a tweet: “‘If you smell what America’s Tank Division is cooking!’ Shoutout to the #IronSoldiers assigned to the @Blackhawk_SQDN for naming one of their tanks in homage to the @TheRock. Hopefully the ‘People’s Champ’ will see it and give you guys a shoutout and a retweet! #TuesdayThoughts”.
On Friday, he gave them a shout-out on Instagram, writing: “I’m sending a salute of respect & gratitude to the Blackhawk Squadron 1st Armored Division for the honor of naming their tank (the most advanced in the world) Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Heavy duty, bad a–, sexy AF and built to take care of business 😉 — but most importantly, thank you all for your service. Grateful to the bone.”
As of Monday, the image received 2 million+ likes and thousands of comments. Much support, but also some serious criticism from fans.
“Well I really like you as a person and everything but what is a tank meant for? If it is to take the lives of human beings and others then it is not admirable… I hope it won’t be used… May God bless you all ❤️ Peace and Love,” one Instagram user replied.
“That’s not something to be very proud of because it’ll be your name on that tank that’ll kill innocent people,” another claimed.

Shawn Mendes dominated the Juno Awards this weekend, taking home trophies for five of the six categories he was nominated in, including for Best Artist, Album, Pop Album and Songwriter of the Year.
The Juno Fan Choice Award went to Avril Lavigne.
Mendes, who was not on hand last night at the Junos as he is on the European leg of a world tour, appeared via a taped performance of his hit single “In My Blood.”
A nationwide live telecast on Sunday night was hosted by Sarah McLachlan, who wasted no time in her opening monologue in taking shots at the leader of Canada’s “neighbor to south,” Donald Trump:
“You know when you live somewhere peaceful and beautiful, then you get a crazy neighbor, and they start causing all sorts of trouble like putting up weird walls, picking fights with all the other neighbors, and telling your daughters how they should behave, all the while saying they’re making the area great again, and you just watch, feeling helpless, and hope they’ll be gone by 2020.”]
Also appearing Sunday was The Police lead singer Sting, who introduced David Foster, the top pop music producer, as he was awarded the 2019 Junos humanitarian award.
The Best Country Album award went to Brett Kissel for We Were That Song, while the R&B/soul recording of the year was nabbed by Jesse Reyez. Post Malone won for Best International Album for Beerbongs & Bentleys.
DEMI LOVATO REFLECTS ON WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HER 7TH ANNIVERSARY OF SOBRIETY – (03/18/2019)
Demi Lovato is reflecting on her journey to sobriety.
The 26-year-old singer took to her Instagram Story on Friday to reflect on what would have been her 7-year sobriety anniversary. Lovato relapsed last year, and suffered an apparent overdose last July.
“Today I would’ve had 7 years sober. I don’t regret going out because I needed to make those mistakes but I must never forget that’s exactly what they were: mistakes,” she wrote. “Grateful that AA/NA never shuts the door on you no matter how many times you have to start your time over. I didn’t lose 6 years; I’ll always have that experience but now I just get to add to that time with a new journey and time count.”
“If you’ve relapsed and are afraid to get help again, just know it’s possible to take that step towards recovery. If you’re alive today, you can make it back. You’re worth it,” she added.
It’s been an eventful couple of weeks for Lovato, who split from her boyfriend, Henry Levy, earlier this month. They had been romantically linked since last November. She has also reportedly cut ties with everyone in her team, and started fresh.
JAMES GUNN REINSTATED AS ‘GUARDIANS’ DIRECTOR – (03/18/2019)
Director James Gunn was fired from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in July of 2018 after offensive tweets of his were resurfaced by conservative personalities. The firing was controversial, with fans and the film’s stars, including Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper and Dave Bautista openly protesting the firing. Bautista has been particularly outspoken in support of Gunn.
Marvel Studios actually put Guardians 3 on hold amid the controversy; previously, Gunn had said it would open in 2020. Walt Disney Studios opted to rehire Gunn Friday. Gunn tweeted his thanks and delight, writing that he is “tremendously grateful for every person who has supported me these past few months.”
When he was fired, Gunn issued a statement: “My words of nearly a decade ago were, at the time, totally failed and unfortunate efforts to be provocative. I have regretted them for many years since — not just because they were stupid, not at all funny, wildly insensitive, and certainly not provocative like I had hoped, but also because they don’t reflect the person I am today or have been for some time.”
J.LO SHOWS OFF BLING ON DATE NIGHT: Jennifer Lopez and fiancé Alex Rodriguez looked happy in love on date night in NYC, ET reports, amid rumors of trouble between the pair. Onlookers admired the serious ice she wore on her ring-finger, according the report. The ring cost an estimated $1 million.
