We meet Sean Ono Lennon to explore his music and life with art, plus we discuss the forthcoming box set Power to the People, that Sean has produced, of his parents' Yoko Ono and John Lennon's 1972 fundraising live New York concert. We consider activism in art, especially the legacy of John and Yoko's timeless work together (as also documented in the recent One to One documentary).Recorded live at Madison Square Garden, New York City on 30 August 1972, the Power to The People box set includes 31 Live Tracks from John & Yoko's two historic sets at the One To One Concert backed by Plastic Ono Band, Elephant's Memory and Special Guests. They were John Lennon's only full-length concerts after leaving The Beatles and the last two full-length concerts that John & Yoko performed together. Released from 10th October 2025. Learn more: https://www.johnlennon.com/news/power-to-the-people-deluxe-box-4lp-2lp-2cd-1cd-preorder-now/Sean Ono Lennon is a world renowned musician, songwriter, and producer. “He has always chosen his own musical path, following it deftly as he splits the difference between pop and experimental pursuits. He came of age in the kaleidoscopic '90s, working with Cibo Matto and issuing his first solo album, 1998's Into the Sun, on the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label, while beginning a long stint playing in his mother Yoko Ono's band. In the following decade he formed the psychedelic duo the Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger and the improvisational prog group Mystical Weapons. As his musical interests expanded further, he teamed with Les Claypool to form the hard-to-categorize project the Claypool Lennon Delirium, branched out into film scoring, explored more mainstream territory as he worked with artists like Lana Del Ray, Lady Gaga and Lily Allen, and delved into jazz as well. His first foray into that style was 2024's Asterisms, a fully instrumental album of electronics-fused jazz and psychedelic soundscape music. The son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Lennon was born in New York City in 1975. During his childhood, he was educated in Swiss boarding schools, but occasionally appeared on his mother's albums and sang on the 1984 Ono tribute Every Man Has a Woman. In his early teens, he was occasionally seen decked out in a plastic Thriller jacket and hanging out with Michael Jackson, but his first official step into the spotlight was in the form of filmed interviews for the 1988 documentary Imagine: John Lennon. Three years later, he organized -- with Ono and Lenny Kravitz -- a star-studded re-recording of his father's "Give Peace a Chance" as a protest to the Gulf War. That year, he also appeared on Kravitz's album Mama Said.” Biography by Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi.In 2025, Sean is working on a new Claypool Lennon Delirium album (their 3rd) and is directing a documentary film on the crazy genius fashion designers 3as4, who have designed outfits for Bjork and Yoko among many others.

This disconnect between the artist and the audience is one of the subjects that Tom uses to explore the theme of greed that was the overarching construct behind the album. So this leads me to another quote from Tom in that 2002 interview that really does just get down to the nub of the matter. He asks; “How much money do you need?” And yes, I know that Tom was a multi-millionaire, but that was off the back of his creative work and performing for people.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This past week has brought a cascade of headlines and social buzz as Justin Bieber makes one of his most significant moves since his lengthy hiatus. The biggest story shaping his legacy is the announcement that Bieber will headline Coachella 2026—a first for him—alongside heavyweights like Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, and Anyma. His confirmation instantly ignited #Bieberchella mania across X, with the festival's passes selling out so rapidly that it set a post-pandemic record. According to The Economic Times, Bieber's appearance also made him the highest-paid artist in Coachella's history with a noted 10 million dollar deal, reflecting not just star power, but also industry confidence in his enduring appeal. This headline moment comes on the heels of Bieber's re-emergence in music. After retreating from the spotlight in 2022 due to health challenges—namely Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which led to the cancellation of his “Justice World Tour”—Bieber has recuperated alongside his wife Hailey and their first child, Jack Blues Bieber, welcomed in August 2024. Carefully curated family moments have appeared on Instagram, helping to reshape his public image around resilience, growth, and fatherhood. Yet not all social activity has been soft-focus: Bieber recently unfollowed Usher, his early mentor, on Instagram, sparking rumors about professional reshuffling and evolving alliances.In July, Bieber dropped his comeback album Swag, followed closely by Swag II in September, stirring hopes for a new era of hits and solidifying that his creative energy is back. Instagram teases have kept the hype engine revving, especially a clip of Bieber previewing new music while driving—complete with film and handwriting emojis, suggesting a multimedia-level rollout. Producer Mk.gee confirmed ongoing writing and recording sessions, hinting at a sonically adventurous phase in Bieber's musical story.Industry whispers suggest that a global tour is in development, with insiders pointing both to fan demand and the financial baggage of his earlier tour's abrupt halt. Adding intrigue, a revealing documentary on Bieber's sale of his music catalog and personal struggles dropped this year, further positioning him as a star who's survived immense pressure while plotting a strategic return.On the gossip front, Bieber stirred drama by posting a cryptic Instagram story featuring a pointed song choice on the very day of ex Selena Gomez's wedding, which fans interpret as subtle commentary on their shared past. As coverage oscillates between celebration and speculation, what's undeniable is that Bieber is recalibrating his career with blockbuster moves, creative teases, and headline-grabbing actions—and the world is ready to see what comes next.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber's last few days have been a whirlwind of social media drama, festival buzz, and deeply personal milestones all played out under intense public scrutiny. The single biggest headline dropped in mid-September when Coachella announced Justin as its 2026 Saturday headliner, alongside stars Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G. The news instantly trended on X, as Beliebers declared #Bieberchella and flooded timelines with speculation about the setlist that could include everything from “Baby” to “Yummy.” According to Design Taxi and The Economic Times, Bieber shattered records with a $10 million headliner deal, the largest ever for the festival, and tickets sold out within days, putting him back at the industry's center of gravity.On the family front, Bieber's private life made subtle but meaningful splashes. His wife Hailey celebrated a wedding anniversary, and Justin posted a picture of her in a bold yellow dress, captioned with “Happy anniversary bb.” The post drew a divided reaction: some fans called the photo loving, others slammed it as inappropriate, leading to online debate about respect and marital dynamics. Meanwhile, Bieber continues easing back into public life, sharing cryptic social media updates. A recent Instagram carousel showing him playing basketball, posted hours after Selena Gomez's wedding to Benny Blanco, stoked trolling from Selena's fanbase. Comments ranged from “The love of your life just got married” to “How Does It Feel To Be Forgotten,” making Bieber a trending topic for the day as fans dissected every move.Selena's September wedding proved to be a cultural moment that entwined the Bieber family in unexpected ways. Jazmyn Bieber, Justin's younger sister, liked Gomez's wedding photos on Instagram, which instantly sparked speculation and reignited theories about ongoing bonds and buried drama between Selena, Hailey, and the wider Bieber clan. Selena's cousin Priscilla even commented on Justin's feed, urging fans to let Selena live peacefully rather than dragging out old wounds. While Justin has pointedly avoided posting about the wedding, the silence itself became part of the narrative, as observers weighed whether he might be quietly “thinking about big change” according to some industry sources.Musically, rumors of fresh collaborations and Bieber's imminent full-scale return have dominated chatter, with respected insiders confirming that he's writing and recording with producer Mk.gee and teasing an album that could drop in the coming year. Fans are watching for more official announcements, especially after Bieber's recent hint-laden Instagram story and ongoing studio work. Throughout all the turbulence, the prevailing narrative is of a star both lucrative and vulnerable—breaking records one moment, navigating old relationships and social media firestorms the next, all while continuing his evolution as artist, husband, and new dad.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

There's actually seven distinct greenhouse gases that are included…So what carbon accounting is doing is it's using it's using math to take those different greenhouse gases and normalize them into a standard unit of measure, which is carbon dioxide equivalent… (to measure) its warming ability of the planet.  Alyssa Zucker on Electric Ladies Podcast One of the main things nearly every company measures and tracks today is carbon emissions.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been making headlines after postponing her highly anticipated Las Vegas residency due to health challenges, a move that instantly sparked concern and a wave of support from fans across the globe. According to her own statement shared on social media and widely reported on ITV News and Country Living, Dolly revealed she needed to undergo a series of unspecified medical procedures, joking that it was time for her 100,000-mile checkup—though she assured fans with her trademark wit that it was not her usual trip to the plastic surgeon. The original slate of six sold-out performances at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, which would have marked her first extended Vegas run in over three decades, was scheduled for December 2025. These shows have now been rescheduled for September 2026, with Parton making it clear tickets would be honored or refunded for those who can't make the new dates.The news of her postponement came right after she missed a major event at Dollywood, her iconic Tennessee theme park, due to a flare-up of kidney stones. WHNT News 19 and several entertainment outlets emphasized there was no specific diagnosis given beyond the need for recovery time, and Dolly herself reassured her devoted following that she is not quitting show business. She cited advice from her doctors and a personal sense that she should slow down temporarily, but with her usual optimism, she promised, "God hasn't said anything about stopping yet," highlighting her intention to keep working on her many projects from Nashville. Speculation about her future quickly appeared on social media, but Dolly dampened any rumors of retirement, insisting she has big adventures ahead—a message that trended widely on X and Instagram as fans poured in thousands of get-well messages and memes celebrating her resilience.Beyond her current health focus, Dolly continues to expand her business portfolio. Features in Forbes and IMDb have spotlighted her towering $450 million net worth and highlighted the growth of her “Doggy Parton” pet line, new Duncan Hines baking mixes, and her ever-popular Dollywood properties. In August, she received special attention from the Guinness Book of World Records with an "icon" certificate, putting her in league with Beyoncé and Sir Paul McCartney. Even during this pause from live performance, Dolly's brand and legendary catalog remain at the heart of country music, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship, her career far from finished—as she says, just resting up for the next act.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake's past week has been marked by a deeply personal revelation that could reshape the next chapter of his career. In a heartfelt Instagram statement posted July 31 as reported by AOL, Timberlake publicly disclosed that he has been diagnosed with Lyme disease—a condition he described as relentlessly debilitating and which he'd kept private while powering through his massive world tour. He insisted that his announcement was not for sympathy but to clear up speculation swirling around his recent live performances, where fans and critics alike had noted a marked drop in his energy and vocal presence. According to Timberlake, the symptoms—including nerve pain and crushing fatigue—were at times so severe he considered calling off the remainder of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which wrapped recently after a string of festival appearances.The announcement also sent ripples through the music world for another reason. According to an exclusive from Q92 Radio, the much-rumored NSYNC reunion tour has been put on indefinite hold following Timberlake's diagnosis—with sources confirming the group decided there's no path forward without a fully healthy Justin front and center. This is not the first time illness has disrupted Justin's high-profile commitments; Rolling Stone noted a canceled London concert at the last minute earlier this year, and an Ohio tour finale scrapped just twelve minutes before showtime, both events that fueled fan frustration and social media speculation about his health.While Timberlake's Instagram post drew a flood of support from fans and stars alike, it also prompted an outpouring on platforms like X and Instagram, with hashtags like #WeLoveYouJT and #TimberlakeStrong trending for several days. Despite the setback, the singer took care to thank everyone involved in his touring machine—especially his wife Jessica Biel and their two sons—and left the door ajar about whether he'll ever return to the stage on a major scale. Social media chatter continues to speculate on possible short-term projects or TV appearances, but as of now, no new music or acting ventures have been formally announced.On the business front, Timberlake's empire appears as robust as ever. The Tradable just highlighted his net worth reaching between 350 and 400 million dollars, buoyed by a massive catalog sale to Hipgnosis, ongoing real estate holdings, and his roles in both the liquor and fashion worlds. In the landscape of biographical significance, there's no denying this week's Lyme disease disclosure could represent a career inflection point for Justin Timberlake.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman has been at the center of several notable stories and public appearances over the past few days, underscoring both his growing influence and his willingness to wade into less-charted territory for a prominent scientist. The biggest headline is that during a live appearance at the Summit of Greatness, Huberman made an unexpectedly candid revelation that prayer—not just meditation or science-backed protocols—dramatically transformed his own mental health. According to the School of Greatness podcast, recorded on September 29th, 2025, he described how faith-based practices not only felt meaningful but, in his words, actively restructure the brain for enhanced well-being, clearer thinking, and deeper peace. For someone known as arguably the most respected neuroscientist in the world, this admission created an immediate buzz across social media platforms and was picked up by major outlets as a potential turning point in the science-spirituality conversation. He elaborated that cynicism is a “brain killer” and promoted curiosity as the superpower for lifelong learning, going as far as to detail new neuroscience-backed protocols for optimizing cortisol rhythms and sleep, and even replacing classic meditation with what he calls activation techniques—a move that is sure to spark debate within health circles.Huberman's latest business move also garnered attention: he officially announced the pre-orders for his book Protocols: An Operating Manual for the Human Body, promising a compendium of practical, evidence-based routines for physical and mental health, building on the audience he has cultivated through his podcast and YouTube presence.Speaking of YouTube, on September 25th, Huberman released a new Huberman Lab Essentials episode titled “Using Your Nervous System to Enhance Your Immune System.” In this episode, he tackled the interaction between the immune and nervous systems and provided practical tools to boost immunity, from targeted supplementation to specific breathing protocols. He even disclosed that he personally uses cyclic hyperventilation, a style of breathing similar to the famed Wim Hof method, to ward off illness—another example of his signature blend of hard science and actionable advice.Social media chatter has focused heavily on Huberman's comments around prayer and brain health, with medical professionals and self-help influencers debating the merits of integrating faith-based practices into mainstream mental health care. His latest videos have racked up hundreds of thousands of views within days, and posts on Instagram and TikTok trumpet his bold positions on optimism and neuroplasticity.Public appearances, including an interactive Q&A tied to his newest episode, have kept his name trending in wellness circles. While there has been a minor undercurrent of skepticism among diehard empiricists, the response from broader communities appears overwhelmingly positive, viewing Huberman's openness to faith as both relatable and biographically significant—potentially marking a new chapter in how he is perceived by both scientific and general audiences. No major controversies or business scandals have surfaced in the past week, leaving the focus squarely on his evolving public persona and expanding wellness empire.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

She maintains a high-profile relationship with Chris Hughes, and several outlets including CNN have noted things are "going great" between them.JoJo's business activities are going at full throttle. Alongside a blitz of endorsements and media partnerships, she participated in a sweet on-air reunion with Abby Lee Miller on Access Daily last week at Universal's Epic Universe in Orlando.

Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Post Malone is everywhere right now and in the past few days he has been on an absolute roll. His genre-bending takeover continues to attract headlines across music, business, and lifestyle media. According to the Los Angeles Times, Stagecoach just revealed Malone as one of three superstar headliners for its 2026 festival in Indio California alongside Lainey Wilson and Cody Johnson, setting up what is already described as one of the most anticipated country music gatherings of the year. The full lineup, announced September 25, includes a stunning variety of acts, from country mainstays like Brooks & Dunn and Wynonna Judd to crossover legends Journey and Hootie & the Blowfish. Stagecoach producers are counting on Malone's country credibility, riding high after his chart-topping debut country album, to draw not just fans from Nashville but a new, broader audience of pop and hip-hop devotees.It does not stop there: Wildwood, New Jersey's Barefoot Country Music Fest announced on September 27 that Post will headline their own massive beachfront event in June 2026.

These global gigs reinforce his status as a sought-after festival magnet and a true global hitmaker, not just an American star.No major personal controversies or speculative stories have broken in the past week, and, if social buzz on X and Instagram is any indication, Post is in a celebratory and focused phase, sharing rehearsal snippets and tour moments, reposting Grammy nod congratulatory messages, and even poking fun at his Oreo obsession.

In this game, Ronaldo scored a typical poacher's goal, capitalizing on a Mane cross and securing a vital win. Commentators noted his relentless drive and leadership, with his signature free-kick narrowly missing and several efforts troubling the opposition Keeper.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.It's been a headline-making stretch for Shakira, marked by a massive public performance, a high-profile property sale, and the kind of activism that's kept her at the heart of global culture. The most significant event—both musically and in terms of biographical impact—was her electric headlining appearance at the Global Citizen Festival 2025 in New York's Central Park. Sources including ABC7NY and Azat.tv detail how Shakira took the stage to a crowd of 60,000 and millions tuning in online, infusing her set with not just star power but a rallying cry for social and environmental action. She collaborated with the festival to champion energy access in Africa, protection for the Amazon, and a global push for education, making her music the centerpiece of an international movement that aims to mobilize hundreds of millions in aid and investment. Hugh Jackman hosted, Cardi B joined the lineup, and global leaders listened as Shakira's performance elevated the evening beyond entertainment. Her own statement to ABC7NY summed up the moment: “I'm honored to headline... Music has always been my way of connecting with people and leaving a mark on the world. I can't wait to perform, unite, and inspire action.”Away from the stage but still in the headlines, Shakira successfully closed a real estate chapter with Gerard Piqué, selling one of their luxury homes in Barcelona for over 3 million euros, as Idealista reports. The sale, notable for its high-end amenities and status within a three-property complex built together in 2012, marks another step in separating their financial ties three years after their highly public breakup. Tensions reportedly surfaced around the sale price, with Shakira holding firm while Piqué pushed for a quicker closure. While the final figure fell below their earliest targets, it signals a move forward; she's now settled in Miami, pursuing new projects.On the social media front, festival footage and Shakira's own posts from Global Citizen flooded Instagram and Twitter, with hashtags like #GlobalCitizenFestival trending globally and fans celebrating her advocacy as much as her vocals. Major outlets like Times of India and Mitú saluted her dual role as entertainer and activist, highlighting not just her performance but the long-term resonance of artists using their platform for change.No major scandals or unconfirmed rumors have surfaced in recent days—most chatter has been rooted in verifiable public moments and official statements. In sum, Shakira's recent activities have reinforced her image as a pop icon whose impact reaches far beyond music into philanthropy, real estate, and international visibility. The Global Citizen Festival stands out as a moment likely to define her biography for years to come—a clear example of star power harnessed for cause, not just applause.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Peso Pluma has been generating headlines once again as both his music and personal brand show signs of entering a new phase. Just a few days ago, his striking new shaved haircut went viral after he posted it to his nearly eight million TikTok followers, as covered by Los40. The change, which wipes away his era-defining mullet—previously viewed as a signature part of his artistic persona—has followers speculating about an upcoming album or a shift in his musical direction though there have been no concrete statements or official hints about releasing a new studio project since Éxodo. Peso is clearly aware of how his image ties into his art and public mystique, as every transformation seems calculated to mark a new creative era.In business news, the Peso Pluma PRIME Energy can has finally debuted across the US in Mango flavor, according to Candy Creations. This marks Peso's first dedicated PRIME Energy release for the American market, following massively popular hydration bottle collaborations. Given how quickly previous Peso Pluma PRIME bottles became must-haves, industry watchers see this rollout as one of the most impactful celebrity beverage partnerships this year.Social media mentions also soared following his public appearance at New York Fashion Week. According to reporting from Lefty, Peso ranked among the top 10 NYFW influencers by earned media value with a massive $1.24 million, bolstered by over 15 million followers and an impressive 8.1 percent engagement rate.

The World recently reported that new cultural policies in Mexico are aiming to counterbalance artists like Peso, whose narco-corridos have become synonymous with both musical innovation and controversy over messaging. As the government pivots with a nation-wide music contest intended to promote anti-violence lyrics, Peso Pluma stands as both a symbol of regional Mexican music's global rise and a touchstone in debates about art, identity, and social responsibility.With no major new music released in the past week but mounting business ventures, fashion world appearances, and social media speculation, Peso Pluma's current moves suggest an artist aware of both his influence and the scrutiny that comes with being at the intersection of culture, commerce, and controversy.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.This week in the world of Mr. Beast, or Jimmy Donaldson, has been a whirlwind of activity, spectacle, and even some hard pivots from controversy. The most headline-grabbing—yet ultimately tongue-in-cheek—event that set social media ablaze involved football. In a video that quickly amassed millions of views, Mr. Beast claimed he had bought the NFL, appearing alongside commissioner Roger Goodell to announce dramatic changes to the league. The spectacle turned out to be a tongue-in-cheek publicity stunt to announce that YouTube would exclusively stream Friday's matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs for free, and was never about Donaldson buying the actual league, which is still individually owned by its 32 teams as explained in The Independent US and confirmed by Bloomberg. Fans and sports journalists everywhere had a field day, and it undoubtedly put Mr. Beast further in the spotlight for digital media's growing influence in legacy sports.Meanwhile, Donaldson's reputation as a philanthropic figure remained strong, as he announced a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of fraudsters who conned Erik Bergman, cofounder of Catena Media, out of $1.25 million in crypto. The scam, which began after Bergman donated $1 million to Mr. Beast's Team Water campaign, highlights the risks top influencers face as impersonators create sophisticated social media and messaging hoaxes. Donaldson took to social media to amplify the search for the perpetrators, shining a spotlight on crypto fraud and leveraging his massive global following, as reported by NEXT.io and MaltaCEOs.Not all the headlines were golden: Mr. Beast's data collection practices have attracted scrutiny from the Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU), which flagged his YouTube content for potentially collecting children's data without proper parental consent, an alleged violation of federal privacy laws like COPPA. Cybernews notes that his Feastables chocolate bar sweepstakes also drew criticism for insufficient transparency in entry methods and age verification, indicating the regulatory stakes for creators of Donaldson's size, especially with a large child audience.The entrepreneurial engine that is Mr. Beast kept roaring, even as past contestants on his Amazon series Beast Games filed a lawsuit alleging unfair production practices, which put his operations under a microscope, according to AOL. However, Donaldson has yet to publicly address the suit or issue any new statements as of this recording, and there have been no further updates on the matter in the past 24 hours.All told, Donaldson continues to push the boundaries of what an internet creator can do—whether by turning the NFL on its head, hunting down scammers, or navigating the regulatory maze of modern influencer business.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been front and center in both headlines and hearts over the past week, even as she balanced personal moments and a packed professional schedule. According to Parade, Dolly sat down with Reba McEntire for a warmly candid TalkShopLive interview released September 25, where she reminisced with poignant humor about her late husband Carl Dean, who passed away six months ago. Dolly recalled a rare moment when Carl, who famously shunned the spotlight throughout their six-decade marriage, joined her for an impromptu performance at the Kentucky State Fair. She described the memory as “so out of character for him” and laughed about how the prank unraveled onstage—with Dolly even jokingly telling security she didn't know him, until her road manager intervened.A major headline from AOL announced Dolly's Las Vegas return later this year: she's set for six shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in December, marking her first extended residency there in 32 years. “To say I'm excited would be an understatement,” Dolly said in her statement, making clear her enthusiasm for reconnecting with fans in Vegas. The concerts, appropriately titled “Dolly: Live in Las Vegas,” promise seven decades of hits and a setlist fans have dreamt about, along with VIP packages for some up-close Dolly moments. This run coincides with the National Finals Rodeo, turning Vegas into a true Parton-palooza.Meanwhile, Dolly has not just been performing—she's been the subject of a musical about her life, “Dolly: A True Original Musical,” which opened in Nashville in January and is reportedly eyeing Broadway, according to Playbill and AOL. For fans of orchestral music, her multimedia production “Threads: My Songs in Symphony” continues its national tour, bringing Dolly's classics to the concert stage with a symphonic twist—in fact, she headlined in Indianapolis on September 20.The week was not without health-related speculations. People and IMDb reported that Dolly missed the highly anticipated announcement for Dollywood's newest ride due to kidney stone recovery, causing a ripple of concern among fans. Dolly addressed her absence cheerfully in a video message, promising she was with everyone “in spirit” and expected to be back in action soon.Book lovers, mark November 11 on your calendar. “Star of the Show: My Life on Stage”—Dolly's third photographic memoir—drops soon. Reba McEntire called Dolly “her hero” during their livestreamed chat, raving about Dolly's generosity, wit, and authenticity. The pair traded decades of stories, reinforcing their mutual admiration in a conversation that felt like a masterclass on both friendship and show business.Social media buzz has been lively, too. Dolly's enduring impact was referenced in a viral tweet picked up by HuffPost Women, joking about how “it's getting harder and harder to tumble out of bed, stumble into my kitchen to pour a cup of ambition every day,” a playful nod to her “9 to 5” lyrics that perfectly captures her crossover into everyday pop culture.So whether she's sparking Vegas fever, sharing deeply personal stories, celebrating her own journey in new artistic ways, or trending in meme form, Dolly Parton remains a force whose every move resonates far beyond country music. Onward with rhinestones, resilience, and remarkable grace—this week's Dolly headlines are, as always, pure gold.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake has made headlines over the past few days, most notably due to the indefinite postponement of a planned NSYNC reunion tour. According to Reality Tea, every band member was ready to celebrate the group's 30th anniversary with a series of major concerts, but those plans are now on hold because Timberlake is battling Lyme disease. Insider sources quoted in US Weekly say JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick remained fully committed, but Timberlake's health understandably takes precedence. NSYNC supporters recall that Timberlake completed his Forget Tomorrow World Tour in July despite the illness, earning praise even from bandmate Chris Kirkpatrick, who called his perseverance superhero status.This health development is widely seen as a significant biographical moment. The NSYNC anniversary and possible reunion tour would have marked one of Timberlake's most commercially and personally important comebacks in years. The fact that his illness has halted those plans signals not just a pause in his performing career but also affects the trajectory of NSYNC's legacy as a supergroup. Timberlake's battle with Lyme disease is authentic news, and public speculation now focuses on how quickly he'll recover and whether a future NSYNC reunion is even possible.On the business front, Timberlake's financial empire continues to grow. The Tradable just reported that his net worth has reached an astonishing 400 million dollars in 2025, with earnings from touring, royalties, and ventures such as his William Rast clothing brand and real estate deals. The most transformative deal remains his 2022 sale of his entire song catalog to Hipgnosis Song Management for around 100 million dollars. He now brings in 50 to 60 million dollars annually, making him one of entertainment's top earners.There was social media buzz earlier this week revisiting Timberlake's 2017 appearance at the Pilgrimage Music Festival, but the mention—circulating especially on Threads—was more nostalgic than tied to any current projects. Meanwhile, recent news from The Celeb Post and AOL described a concert he held at a racecourse that authorities deemed dangerously overcrowded, triggering restrictions on future events at the venue, though Timberlake himself faced no legal charges.Financially, there have been rumors about Timberlake losing millions on the sale of his Memphis golf course, a business decision that—while a hit to his portfolio—is unlikely to affect his overall financial standing given his current net worth. Public reaction is more focused on his health and the NSYNC tour's status than his real estate or business ventures.Headlines about Timberlake this week aren't about new releases or TV appearances—they center on his health battle, the fate of NSYNC, and the business moves that secure his legacy as a major force in pop culture. Speculation remains high about when he'll return to the stage and what surprises may await if an NSYNC reunion does materialize.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman has commanded recent headlines with a mix of professional triumphs, scientific outreach, and a jolt of personal intrigue that has tongues wagging in both academic and pop culture circles. The most buzzworthy topic is undoubtably the sudden spotlight on his private life after the identity of his girlfriend was revealed, as detailed in an exposé published this September by Kwiziq Newszone. The article describes previously guarded details about the relationship, an unveiling that swiftly catapulted the neuroscience professor into trending status well beyond his usual academic sphere. Overnight, social channels and podcast comment sections were awash with speculation, memes, and commentary, cementing Huberman's status as a genuine public celebrity according to Kwiziq.On the professional front, Huberman has leveraged his expanding platform with typical fervor. September 25 marked the release of one of his most anticipated Huberman Lab Essentials podcast episodes, focusing on how the nervous system can be used to boost immune system function. Here, Huberman distilled the latest science into practical advice: the three-layer defense strategy of the immune system, the vital role mucus plays, as well as actionable breathing techniques and recovery protocols. He discussed research on cyclic hyperventilation to accelerate healing and drew connections between mindset, dopamine, and immune resilience. This content rapidly shot to the top of health podcast charts and dominated YouTube and social platforms, further solidifying his reputation for blending accessible science with actionable takeaways, as highlighted by audience reactions on his own website and YouTube page.Meanwhile, the anticipation for Huberman's upcoming book Protocols continues to build, with preorders reportedly brisk. The book promises a comprehensive synthesis of brain optimization strategies, and early marketing materials pitch it as essential reading for anyone interested in cognitive performance, mood, or energy. Add to that his regular newsletter, which now boasts over 800,000 subscribers eager for daily science-based protocols, and you have a scholar-turned-influencer whose business activities and brand presence are expanding rapidly.On social media, Huberman remains highly visible, regularly trending on X and Instagram. Clips from his Essentials episodes, especially relating to nervous system hacks, continue to go viral. In recent posts, followers have heaped praise on his ability to translate complex neuroscience into daily routines and even lobbied, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, for a Nobel Prize in science communication.It is worth noting that while the social media buzz around his relationship is electrifying, there is little to suggest it will overshadow Huberman's long-term legacy, which according to the reception of his current scientific work, remains tied to his ability to influence global wellness habits and demystify brain science for the masses.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

This chart resurgence was mirrored in coverage from WLRN, further underscoring Justin's sustained relevance in pop music's crowded streaming market.In business news, Justin has expanded his footprint in the cannabis industry. ATL FM News reported his partnership with Palms to launch a limited edition weed line called Peaches, named after his hit single. Bieber spoke to Vogue about why he supports cannabis reform causes, with proceeds benefitting the Last Prisoner Project and Veterans Walk and Talk. The product is rolling out in California, Nevada, Massachusetts, and Florida, aiming to help destigmatize recreational cannabis.On September 10, Justin stunned patrons of a Cambridge pub in Ontario, Canada by walking in for pool and private karaoke, singing songs from his new album and later dropping by a local coffee roaster with Hailey. CTV News detailed how staff and customers were left starstruck, and Justin's social media posts about the visit garnered tens of thousands of likes, offering a rare glimpse of his laid-back public persona.Arguably the most biographically significant news involves Justin's former manager, Scooter Braun. PEOPLE revealed last Thursday that Justin and Braun settled a longstanding financial dispute for over $31 million, tied to canceled tour debts and unpaid commissions. The settlement comes in the wake of a revealing 2025 documentary about Justin's catalog sale and personal struggles. This marks the final end of a 15-year working relationship, with Braun now retired and Bieber fully independent in his artistic direction.Justin's net worth remains north of $300 million as Forbes and other outlets confirm, driven by music, business ventures, and brand endorsements. The past week – album success, public appearances, family milestones, and a new chapter in business and management – will likely resonate for years as pivotal moments in Bieber's evolving biography.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has dominated headlines over the past few days with a whirlwind of activity that spans music, business, and personal life. The big news is his official announcement as Coachella's headliner for the 2026 festival, marking his first major live concerts in the US since 2022. According to NBC Palm Springs, he'll take the stage on April 11 and 18 alongside SZA and others, with Billboard and Page Six both reporting his record-breaking $10 million compensation, which he reportedly landed singlehandedly by negotiating directly with Goldenvoice, not through an agent. Rumors suggest this deal was driven and encouraged by his wife Hailey Bieber, who, according to US Weekly and Page Six, was a major reason he decided to accept — insiders described her as both the “driving force” and “incredibly supportive,” reminding him how much touring means to his fans and ushering in what some have called a new era where Justin calls all the shots.This Coachella momentum comes on the heels of new musical output. Bieber recently dropped a black-and-white video teaser for his SWAG II track “Speed Demon,” filmed on the actual Coachella grounds. He shared shots online of himself and Hailey strolling hand-in-hand across the field with their young son, Jack Blues Bieber, further fueling buzz for his festival appearance, as seen on his official Instagram and covered by ABC Audio. Musically, his album ‘Swag' re-entered the Billboard top 10 this week, driven by a newly expanded deluxe edition, as KUNR reports, underscoring the album's staying power after debuting two months ago.On the business front, Bieber's launch of a limited edition cannabis line called ‘Peaches,' in partnership with Palms, made the rounds on social media and in Vogue and BBC News. The singer revealed his goal is to make cannabis more approachable and to destigmatize its use, with a portion of proceeds benefitting criminal justice reform charities like the Last Prisoner Project and Veterans Walk and Talk.Financially, Bieber resolved a major chapter by reaching a $31.5 million settlement with former manager Scooter Braun. PEOPLE and TMZ confirm this ends a dispute over money Bieber owed Braun and HYBE, largely related to advances for the canceled Justice Tour and unpaid commissions. These revelations surfaced alongside the release of a new documentary that links Bieber's earlier catalog sale to Hipgnosis, in December 2022, to financial strain. Although speculation persists regarding the stress Bieber's facing, Braun told The Diary of a CEO podcast that Justin's decision to strike out on his own is respected and, after 15 highly successful years, the old team wishes him well.In short, every major headline is signaling a comeback—Justin Bieber is seizing control of his career, making bold moves in music and business, and returning to the spotlight with support from his family and fans.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

From the publisher: The quarterback: the American equivalent of royalty, long glamorized, mythologized, and worshipped. Still, long before the Super Bowl trophies, massive contracts, brand deals, and millions of social media followers comes the dream. From the backyard to Pop Warner, from high school to college, from the NFL to the Hall of Fame, becoming the country's ultimate idol requires single-minded focus while navigating a maze of bad breaks, insecurities, jealousy, pressure, and fame.Long known as the outsider's guide into this elite world, Seth Wickersham's fresh reporting goes deep into the quarterback journey, measuring the distance between what the men who have traveled it expected and what they found at the end of the road. Through unprecedented access into the lives of dozens of quarterbacks and generational greats such as Johnny Unitas, John Elway, Peyton Manning, Warren Moon, Steve Young, and others, as well as those figures striving to be remembered, like Caleb Williams and Arch Manning, Wickersham reveals how this one position has become emblematic of success in American life.As an inside look into a uniquely American job and a uniquely American obsession with football, American Kings is a must-read for sports fans and anyone who wants to understand what the price of ambition tells us about the quest for achievement and status.Information on his book can be found at: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/789617/american-kings-by-seth-wickersham/He is on Twitter at https://x.com/sethwickersham?lang=enSupport our show and Reach out and Read of Tampa Bay at https://patreon.com/axelbankhistoryAxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

Remain in Love: Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, Tina By: Chris Frantz Published: 2022 208 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? The life and musical career of Chris Frantz and his wife Tina Weymouth. With particular attention paid to his antagonistic relationship with David Byrne, the front man for Talking Heads, a band they were both members of.   What's the author's angle? Frantz seems to be going for three things here. First it's an ode to his wife. Second it lays out his side of the fight between him and Byrne. Finally it's a snapshot into the origin of punk in the late 70s. Who should read this book? If you're a huge Talking Heads fan. Or if you really want a behind the scenes look at what it was like to be in a band in the late 70s. Otherwise I would skip it.  Specific thoughts: The fact that he's stayed married for all these years counts for a lot.
