Reports say that Robert Pattinson has tested positive for coronavirus, prompting “The Batman” to suspend filming in the United Kingdom days after it went back into production. The 34-year-old actor, who is starring in the title role, was just returning to work on The Batman after almost six months off due to the pandemic.

On Thursday September 3, it was announced that production on the movie had been shut down because someone tested positive. “A member of The Batman production has tested positive for Covid-19, and is isolating in accordance with established protocols. Filming is temporarily paused,” Warner Bros said in a statement.

Jamie Foxx is heading back to Netflix to star in and produce a new comedy series, inspired by Foxx’s relationship with his daughter Corinne, who is also serving as producer. The series is titled Dad Stop Embarrassing Me, and will costar Foxx’s fellow In Living Color alum David Alan Grier and teenage actress Kyla-Drew. Bentley Kyle Evans, who co-created Foxx’s 1990s WB sitcom, will serve as showrunner.

Dad Stop Embarrassing Me will mark Foxx’s first regular role on a scripted series since The Jamie Foxx Show‘s conclusion in 2001. He currently hosts the Fox game show Beat Shazam.  Foxx will next be seen — or rather, heard — as the main character in Pixar’s upcoming film Soul, currently scheduled for a November release.

Lucasfilm and The Walt Disney Company have revealed that the second season of the smash hit series “The Mandalorian” will begin streaming on Disney+ this October 30.

Liam also discussed the 10th anniversary of One Direction and discussed the possibility of a reunion, saying: “It feels amazing to be doing 10 years of anything really, especially to have the success level that we’ve had. I’m just really grateful the fans have stuck around and we still, each of us, have a career, which I think has been the most amazing thing out of all of it, really. As far as reunions go, I don’t know too much, but I got wonderful lovely birthday messages from everyone, which was really, really nice.”

Twenty One Pilots Singer Tyler Joseph Apologizes For Insensitive BLM Tweet

tmpd1c705f7-852d-4e01-b501-f07c4c3077fe-jpg

Twenty One Pilots singer Tyler Joseph is apologizing for a tweet he posted this week. Joseph faced backlash over sharing a tone-deaf joke about him reaching his 2.2 million Twitter followers to advance social causes. The singer tweeted two photos of himself wearing platform shoes, saying in the caption: “You guys keep asking me to use my platforms. Feels good to dust these bad boys off.”  When he started receiving criticism for the post, however, Joseph explained, “I use music, humor, being alone, breaks from social media, family, uncomfortable and honest conversations with friends, and sometimes cryingA few tools, but they don’t all work for everyone. Mentally/emotionally, I can only carry so much, because what I do care about is so heavy, the thought of adding more on top of it makes me want to stop trying.” Joseph continued to stand behind the photos, saying again, “This isn’t a Notes app moment. I’m doubling down on my platform tweet. It was fantastic.”

However, Joseph ultimately clarified his support for the movement and issued an apology, saying: “My tweet wasn’t suppose[d] to be about human rights. So in case you are wondering where I stand: Black Lives Matter. I just wanted to take a moment to raise awareness about something else that has meant a lot to me for a long time. But now I see there is no room for that right now. I’m truly sorry if it hurt anyone.” The Twenty One Pilots member then shared a link with ways to help the Black Lives Matter movement.

Johnson said in his video message on Instagram.: “I wanted to give you guys a little helpful update on things that have been going on on my end for the past two-and-a-half to three weeks now. So the update is this: my wife Lauren as well as my two baby girls and myself, we have all tested positive for COVID-19. I could tell you that this has been one of the most challenging and difficult things we have ever had to endure as a family, and for me, too, personally as well.”

Johnson said that he and his family contracted the contagious respiratory virus from family friends, who he said are “devastated” that they unwittingly spread the virus.  He added that while his daughters “bounced back” from the virus pretty quickly, he and Lauren “had a rough go at it.”   He also urged his fans to exercise extreme caution when interacting with others to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The imagery, shot and styled by Cardi B’s team in her home in L.A., features the rapper wearing a black catsuit-dress hybrid from creative director Demna Gvasalia’s fall 2020 collection.

FINNEAS Drops New Song And Video For “What They’ll Say About Us”

tmpd563bf8f-3f8d-491b-b2cd-360308d1f23c-jpg

Songwriter and producer FINNEAS has shared a music video for his new song “What They’ll Say About Us.” 

FINNEAS wrote “What They’ll Say About Us” during quarantine, and said in a press release: “I wrote this song in June after spending the day at a protest in Downtown L.A., filled with hope with the prospect that millions of people were coming together from all over the world to fight against institutionalized racism and inequality. During that time, I’d also been following Amanda Kloots as she documented her husband Nick Cordero’s time in the ICU while in a coma after being admitted for COVID-19. Imagining her sitting by his side, waiting, hopeful for him to wake up, it got me thinking about all the millions of people, all over the world, who also have loved ones, parents, children and extended family members going through the same thing. Fighting this horrific virus. Some will overcome and wake up again, while others, tragically may not. This song is dedicated to all who have had to endure this year. I hope this song can offer some sort of comfort to those who may need it.”

What They’ll Say About Us is the first new music from FINNEAS since his video for “Let’s Fall in Love for the Night.” He also released a deluxe edition of his debut EP, Blood Harmony.

Take a look at the video for What They’ll Say About Us: here.

Ed Sheeran And Wife Cherry Seaborn Welcome Baby Girl, Lyra Antarctica

tmpb833ec71-c991-4201-a5e2-997a34a20df0-jpg

Ed Sheeran, 29, and his wife, Cherry Seaborn, 28, have announced the birth of their baby girl on Instagram.

“Ello! A quick message from me as I have some personal news that I wanted to share with you… Last week, with the help of an amazing delivery team, Cherry gave birth to our beautiful and healthy daughter – Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran,” Sheeran wrote alongside a photo of a pair of baby socks on top of a blue and green blanket.  He added, “We are completely in love with her. Both mum and baby are doing amazing and we are on cloud nine over here. We hope that you can respect our privacy at this time. Lots of love and I’ll see you when it’s time to come back, Ed x.”

Sheeran and Seaborn tied the knot in December 2018 at their home in Suffolk, England, in front of 40 friends and family members. Sheeran first met Seaborn at school when he was 11, but their relationship didn’t turn romantic until the summer of 2015 when they shared their first date at Taylor Swift’s annual Fourth of July party. The couple starred in their first music video together for his single, “Put It All on Me,” back in December 2019.
