Foo Fighters Will Play First Concert Back at Madison Square Garden – The New York Times

For the first time in more than 15 months, Madison Square Garden is gearing up to host a rock ’n’ roll concert without social distancing, masks or capacity caps. Foo Fighters will perform on June 20 — but only for fans who are fully vaccinated. It will be the first full-capacity concert in a New York arena since March 2020. “We’ve been waiting for this day for over a year,” Dave Grohl, the band’s frontman, said in a statement on Tuesday, telling fans to prepare for a long night “of screaming our heads off together to 26 years of Foos.” Audience members will be required to show proof of full Covid-19 vaccination along with their tickets to enter the venue, James L. Dolan, the executive chairman and chief executive of Madison Square Garden Entertainment, said in a statement. Tickets will g...

Chris Harrison Exits ‘Bachelor’ Franchise; Rose Withers On 19-Year Run As Host After Racism Controversy – Deadline

EXCLUSIVE: Just hours after the 17th season of The Bachelorette debuted, long-time host Chris Harrison has exited the romance franchise for good. Having fronted the Mike Fleiss-created The Bachelor and all its lucrative ABC spinoffs since 2002, Harrison will receive a rose of his own in the form of mid-range eight-figure payoff and promise to keep his mouth shut, I hear. The usual platitudes are expected to be exchanged for public consumption when the agreement is made public later today, but there is certainly no romance in the air behind the scenes. While whispers over Harrison’s permanent break-up with the Bachelorverse were all over town after it was revealed last week that Fleiss pal David Spade and others would be guest hosting the next season of Bachelor in Paradise ...

Kanye West just did his first product drop with Gap — its a $200 bright blue puffer coat – Yahoo Finance

On his 44th birthday, Kanye West is the one giving the apparel world a present. And if Gap's investors are lucky, they will perhaps get one at a later date from Yeezy.  With questions swirling on Wall Street around the timing of the hotly anticipated clothing line at the Gap (GPS) from West (details have been scant), the retailer released its product from the partnership on Tuesday. Dubbed the "round jacket," it's essentially a trendy looking $200 puffer coat. It's available for pre-order to U.S. shoppers only, with shipping expected to be this fall.  No other item release dates were shared as the duo tries to build hype for a broader launch in coming months.   Gap CEO Sonia Syngal stunned just about everyone on June 26, 2020 when she announced a 10-year apparel deal with West.

R. Kellys attorneys request to withdraw from counsel, say its impossible to properly represent him – Fox News

Two of R. Kelly's attorneys have requested to withdraw from the star's counsel. Mike Leonardo and Steven Greenberg confirmed to Fox News on Monday that they have asked a New York judge to allow them to step aside in the case. In a letter obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times written by Greenberg to Judge Ann Donnelly, the Chicago-based attorney said that should the court deem it fit, he and Leonardo would stand "as effective stand-by counsel." "While we recognize that this request comes close to trial – and we are ready to proceed to trial as scheduled in August – our reasons for withdrawal are significant and it is impossible, in our belief, for us to be able to continue to properly represent Mr. Kelly under the current circumstances," he said.
