ARIANA GRANDE GOES LAVENDER – (07/19/2018)
Ariana Grande may have taken a style cue from her latest music video.
The singer revealed a Sweetener-inspired hair transformation on Instagram Wednesday when she posted a Polaroid of her newly dyed tresses.
“Lavender,” Grande simply captioned the picture, adding, “Jus for fun,” on her Instagram Story.
Courtesy of hairstylist Josh Liu, the newly engaged pop star’s hair was dubbed “lavender dreams.” Also missing from the new ‘do was Grande’s signature ponytail.
Fiancé Pete Davidson also expressed his adoration for Grande’s hair, leaving five purple heart emojis in the comments section.
Lavender was the dreamy color predominantly featured in her “God Is a Woman” music video when she was bathing in a pool of pastel paint.
And the light purple shade is the latest hair treatment before Grande releases her upcoming fourth studio album on August 17th.
She previously went platinum blonde for the album art for Sweetener, which she revealed in June.
SHAWN MENDES CONGRATULATES HAILEY BALDWIN ON HER ENGAGEMENT TO JUSTIN BIEBER – (07/19/2018)
Shawn Mendes has revealed how he reacted to news that Hailey Baldwin was engaged to Justin Bieber.
The 19-year-old singer, who attended the Met Gala with Hailey, says he texted her a congratulatory message.
“I texted Hailey the day of, and I said congrats. That’s what it is. I think everybody wants there to be more – there’s not,” Shawn said on Australian show The Project.
Shawn and Hailey were the subject of dating rumors earlier this year but they shot down rumors that the Met Gala was their big debut.
Despite the duo being just friends, Hailey deleted photos with Shawn from her Instagram after she started dating Justin.
Meanwhile, actress Kim Basinger, who is mom to Hailey’s cousin Ireland, gives Us Weekly some new scoop about the impending nuptials.
“Oh, it’ll be fun,” Basinger says. “[Hailey’s sister] Alaia [Baldwin] and [cousin] Ireland, they’re in the wedding. So believe me, I just – it’s cool! I think it’s sweet. It’s a very sweet thing. Happiness … We’re living in some really dire times right now.”
She also expressed her approval of the pairing.
“I’m very, very happy for Hailey. I think it’s a good thing,” she says. “I think Justin’s a cool guy. I don’t really know him at all, but Ireland does, you know? I think he’s come through a rough road. He’s a really cool kid. I pray for them. I hope they’re cool. I hope they’re happy! It’s wild! I think it’s wild!”
Justin and Hailey got engaged in the Bahamas earlier this month. They began seeing each other again in June after previously dating from 2015 to 2016.
Justin recently reminded everyone that they are very into each other with an Instagram post. In the post, Justin and Hailey make out like no one is watching in a hot tub. But, like, obviously someone is watching – at very least the someone who snapped the photo.
John Mayer actually commented on the post with a shoutout to the awkward, unidentified photographer.
“Interesting dynamic with the photographer in the hot tub,” the musician wrote. “That’s gotta feel super third wheel. I see a lot of myself in this hot tub photographer. Imagine being in a hot tub on business.”

He also showcased songs from his supposed brand-new album Charlie Puth Sings 90s Punk Rock, and the bonus collection, Charlie Puth Sings Spice Girls.
Those last two weren’t real, of course, but part of a bit in which Puth crooned soft pop versions of 1990s punk rockers, such as blink-182’s “All the Small Things” and Lit’s “My Own Worst Enemy.”
The bonus album featured Puth singing Spice Girls hits, including “Wannabe.”
After all the antics were over, Fallon finally introduced Puth, who is currently on tour and promoting his new single “The Way I Am” off of Voicenotes.

ARIANA GRANDE POSTS CRYPTIC THANK YOU NOTE TO MADONNA; TALKS LIFE AFTER MANCHESTER BOMBINGS – (07/12/2018)
Ariana Grande posted a picture Wednesday with Madonna, someone Grande has consistently cited as an inspiration and mentor. The caption on the photo read “thank you @madonna… u know why,” with a heart emoji and an emoji of the Golden Gate Bridge – an emoji Grande has used often when posting about her new music.
This is not the first time the two hitmakers have met – Grande joined Madonna onstage in Miami during her Rebel Heart Tour and also performed at Madonna’s 2016 charity event at Art Basel in Miami.
The picture excited Grande’s fans and also sparked curiosity as to why the picture was posted now, and whether the pic is from a prior event or was taken recently. Grande has been finishing up her upcoming studio album Sweetener, due August 17th, and fans were quick to hope that a Madonna collaboration will be on the album.
Meanwhile, Ariana has gotten candid about last year’s terrorist attack during her concert in Manchester, which took the lives of 22 people.
“When I got home from tour, I had really wild dizzy spells, this feeling like I couldn’t breathe,” she revealed to ELLE Magazine during her recent cover interview. “I would be in a good mood, fine and happy, and they would hit me out of nowhere. I’ve always had anxiety, but it had never been physical before. There were a couple of months straight where I felt so upside down.”
That feeling is what fueled the marketing campaign behind her upcoming album Sweetener, in which everything is flipped upside down. Though the full record is the result of her processing the trauma, one song in particular addresses her anxiety.
“It’s all the voices in my head talking to one another,” she says of “Get Well Soon,” which was co-written by Pharrell Williams.
“You hear about these things. You see it on the news, you tweet a hashtag. It’s happened before, and it’ll happen again,” she says. “It makes you sad, you think about it for a little, and then people move on. But experiencing something like that firsthand, you think of everything different.”
And lucky enough to score a ticket for Ariana’s the Amazon Music Unboxing concert in New York City were in for a treat when she performed “The Light Is Coming” for just the second time.
Grande performed a 10-song set which featured the hits “No Tears Left to Cry” and “Dangerous Woman” and streamed live on Amazon and Twitch.
The Nicki Minaj-assisted “The Light Is Coming” dropped June 20th.
