TAYLOR SWIFT TO RELEASE A NEW ALBUM – (07/23/2020)
Taylor Swift has announced the surprise release of her eighth album, Folklore. The Grammy-winning songwriter produced and co-wrote much of the album alongside Aaron Dessner of the National. Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon also appears on the record, alongside Taylor Swift’s regular collaborator, Jack Antonoff. It will premiere at midnight EST on 23 July.
Writing on Instagram, Swift said: “Most of the things I had planned this summer didn’t end up happening, but there is something I hadn’t planned on that DID happen.” She wrote and recorded the music in isolation, collaborating with “some musical heroes” remotely.
Swift wrote: “Before this year I probably would’ve overthought when to release this music at the ‘perfect’ time, but the times we’re living in keep reminding me that nothing is guaranteed. My gut is telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world. That’s the side of uncertainty I can get on board with.”
Folklore follows Swift’s 2019 album, Lover. She was due to headline Glastonbury 2020 before it was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

To me it made perfect sense. And today that word makes perfect sense again but today I’m officially going to be someone else’s partner. @maxehrich – I knew I loved you the moment I met you. It was something I can’t describe to anyone who hasn’t experienced it firsthand but luckily you did too.” The pair confirmed their romance in May. (ET)
SELENA GOMEZ’S RARE BEAUTY MAKEUP LINE TO SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH – (07/23/2020)
Selena Gomez’s makeup company Rare Beauty launched the Rare Impact Fund on her 28th birthday yesterday, which plans to raise $100 million to provide mental health services to underserved communities.
The goal of the Rare Impact Fund is to raise $100 million over the next 10 years to help provide mental health services for underserved communities. One percent of all sales will go to the fund, in hopes of helping to increase access to mental health resources.
Mental illness impacts one in five adults in the U.S. each year, according to Rare Beauty.
The Fund is also partnering with corporations, other charities and non-profits to help reach its $100 million goal – one of the largest philanthropic efforts in the world to be focused on mental health.
Along with the Fund, Rare Beauty has also set up the Rare Beauty Mental Health Council, made up of expert advisors who will guide Rare Beauty’s strategy.
Gomez founded Rare Beauty in February with the self-affirming mission that “being rare is about being comfortable with yourself.” The title of the makeup line nods to her third studio album Rare she released at the beginning of the year, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 at the end of January.

HOW KIM KARDASHIAN WEST IS WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES TO GET KANYE WEST HELP – (07/22/2020)
Kim Kardashian West is reportedly working frantically behind the scenes to get her husband Kanye West help. The presidential hopeful claimed that she and her momager Kris Jenner were trying to “lock” him up on Twitter Monday night, and now, sources tell People that the media mogul has been trying to get Kanye help for weeks.” The posts have since been deleted.
“But what do you do when a person doesn’t want help?” the source asks, pointing out that West has been staying at the family’s compound in Cody, Wyoming. “Kanye is in Cody because he doesn’t want help. If he wanted help, he would come back to L.A.”
Kardashian West has, as the rapper hinted, consulted with doctors. The insider says: “Kim’s family is around to support her as always. And they love Kanye. They want him to be healthy. They are all trying to figure out how to help Kanye. They are in contact with medical professionals for guidance.”
In the now-deleted tweets, West wrote: “Kim was trying to fly to Wyoming with a doctor to lock me up like on the movie Get Out because I cried about saving my daughters life yesterday,” a reference to his comments about daughter North West during his first campaign rally over the weekend.
A source tells People that Kardashian West is “furious” that West brought up possibly aborting North during a campaign rally Sunday. The pair share North, 7, Saint, 4, Chicago, 2 and Psalm, 14 months.
The pair’s relationship has reportedly “broken down significantly.” West announced his attention to run for president earlier this month, and his family is reportedly concerned for his mental health.

BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS FROM ALEX TREBEK’S MEMOIR – (07/22/2020)
Alex Trebek is looking back on his life and legacy in The Answer Is… Reflections on My Life. The memoir delves into his childhood, early work, marriages, family, Jeopardy! hosting gig, and his cancer diagnosis.
Some of the biggest takeaways:
QUEEN
Trebek reveals that meeting Queen Elizabeth II in 1967 was his most memorable celeb encounter. At the time, he was hosting a variety show in honor of Canada’s centennial. He said they spoke after the show she attended for five minutes: “You’re not supposed to lead the conversation with the queen. She loved horses, and once she found out I was hosting the Canadian Triple Crown of racing, we spent much of our discussion on that.”
When he saw her again the next day, he admits to being lowered a peg or two. “As she approached me, I was thinking, Here comes my new best friend. I wonder what we’ll talk about today?” he recalls. “I stood a little taller. My chest swelled up. I smiled. And when she got to me, she said, ‘Good show. Please tell me your name, and where you are from.”
DRUGS
His one encounter with drugs—via pot-laced brownies—during a 1970s dinner was decidedly memorable.
“I had four or five of them. I did not realize they were hash brownies. Mr. Naive here,” he quips. “The party was on a Friday night. The drugs knocked me out so much I spent the weekend laid out in their guest bedroom and didn’t leave their home until Monday morning.”
FAMILY VALUES
Because Jeopardy! filmed two days a week, he had plenty of time with his kids and wife.
“It was always dinner at the same time every night,” Trebek writes. “I don’t think that was an intentional choice. I don’t think I was reacting to the way I was raised and consciously trying to do things differently. To be honest, I followed Jean‘s lead on parenting. She is the calming influence.”
JEOPARDY’S SUCCESS
Trebek believes the show has been on for almost 50 years for reasons of nostalgia and competition.
“A lot of young kids at home and college students would watch the show on their lunch breaks. They grew up with it,” he writes. “So when we brought it back in 1984, they were nostalgic for it. And then they raised their own kids on the show… There’s something ritualistic about it.”
But also: “That competition exists within families too. Brothers and sisters. Children and parents. And grandparents — we have material that probably only grandparents, people of that generation, may know the correct response to…. There’s information regarding pop culture that the parents and grandparents don’t know. So there’s something for everybody.”
THE FUTURE
He also reveals how his family reacted when he said that we wouldn’t continue treatment for his stage 4 pancreatic cancer if the current round fails.
“I sat down with [Emily], Matt and Jeanie, and told them I had made my decision,” he writes. “I’m going to stick with this current protocol, then that’s it. If it doesn’t work I’ll probably stop treatment. It wasn’t an easy conversation, and it isn’t any easier writing these words. Quality of life was an important consideration.”
He continues: “I’m not afraid of dying. One thing they’re not going to say at my funeral as part of the eulogy is, ‘He was taken from us too soon.’ I’m about to turn 80. I’ve lived a good, full life, and I’m nearing the end of it. I know that. The only thing that might bother me is if I pass on before I get to have grandchildren. (Hint, hint.)”
As for how he’d like to be thought of after his death, Trebek writes, “I’d like to be remembered first of all as a good and loving husband and father, and also as a decent man who did his best to help people perform at their best.”

EXHIBITORS & STUDIOS FACE ‘CATASTROPHE’ AMID FURTHER TENTPOLE DELAYS – (07/21/2020)
Global exhibitors and studios are facing financial disaster as movie theaters remained shuttered, and blockbusters face continued delays amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
In mid-June, Europe’s theaters began reopening, and Hollywood hoped that big U.S. movies would be able to prop up flagging sales. But several delays have sunk those plans, and U.S. cinemas, which hoped to reopen this month, are shuttered in California and New York, the nation’s largest markets.
“It will be a catastrophe if Mulan and Tenet are further delayed. We’ve been sticking to it against [all odds] because we don’t want people to forget about us, but we don’t know how long we can hold up like this,” Jocelyn Bouyssy, managing director of CGR Cinemas, France’s second biggest multiplex chain, told Variety.
Christopher Nolan’s $200 million Tenet was delayed again on Monday due to the pandemic. First, the release was set for July 17th, then July 31st, then August 12th. Now? TBD.
“Our goals throughout this process have been to ensure the highest odds of success for our films while also being ready to support our theater partners with new content as soon as they could safely reopen,” Warner Bros. Chairman Toby Emmerich said in a statement. “We’re grateful for the support we’ve received from exhibitors and remain steadfast in our commitment to the theatrical experience around the world.” Tenet stars John David Washington, Robert Pattinson and Elizabeth Debicki.
“We will share a new 2020 release date imminently for Tenet, Christopher Nolan’s wholly original and mind-blowing feature. We are not treating Tenet like a traditional global day-and-date release, and our upcoming marketing and distribution plans will reflect that,” Emmerich continued.
He added that The Conjuring 3, set for September 11th, is being pushed to June 4th, 2021. Wonder Woman 1984remains scheduled for Oct. 2, and Dune appears set for Dec. 18.
Disney’s Mulan is currently set for August 21. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the industry is facing a $20B+ hit from COVID.
