Aside from the ‘Love Don’t Cost a Thing’ hitmaker, other stars like Cher, Madonna, Mariah Carey and Billie Eilish have also been affected by the ongoing pandemic following WHO’s social distancing advice.

AceShowbiz – Jennifer Lopez’s plans to hit the road this year with a new world tour have reportedly been axed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
According to Britain’s The Sun newspaper, the 50-year-old hitmaker was set to hit the road with a new world tour, but the “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” hitmaker’s plans have dashed due to the global health crisis.
“Jennifer was involved in talks about a series of headline UK shows which promoters believed would sell out in an instant,” a source said. “Unfortunately, the current situation has thrown a spanner in the works and those talks are no longer happening at the moment. With artists being forced to cancel tours left, right and centre, it just doesn’t make sense to push forward with her plans now.”
Numerous stars have been affected by the pandemic, with Cher, Madonna, Mariah Carey and Billie Eilish among the acts cancelling shows, as the World Health Organisation (WHO) advises people to practice social distancing and stay home in a bid to prevent the spread of Covid-19, which has seen more than 315,000 cases registered, resulting in a death toll of over 13,500.
Earlier this week (begins March 16), Jennifer told fans on social media she was at home with 12-year-old twins Max and Emme, where she was “reading scripts, developing new projects, even working out and learning new dance routines,” as she hopes to “bounce back” once the virus is eliminated.

The ‘Toxic’ hitmaker freaks out after finding out her debut single is ranked first in the Rolling Stone magazine’s 100 Greatest Debut Singles of All Time list.
May 21, 2020
AceShowbiz – Britney Spears was left stunned on Tuesday, May 19, 2020 after her tune “…Baby One More Time” was named the greatest debut single ever by Rolling Stone magazine.
The 38-year-old singer burst onto the pop music scene with her catchy debut back in 1998 and has gone on to become one of the most famous singers in the world. And recognising the impact of the single, Rolling Stone ranked it at the top of their 100 Greatest Debut Singles of All Time list, published on Tuesday as they wrote, “In the great tradition of debut singles, it was a divisive statement that drew a line between past and future… with …Baby One More Time, this girl changed the sound of pop forever: It’s Britney, b**ch. Nothing was ever the same.”
Reacting to the placement, Britney wrote on Twitter, “Number ONE (shocked screaming emoji) ??!!? Thank you @RollingStone …. what an honour!!!!!!”
Just hours before the list was published, Britney’s sister Jamie Lynn had reflected on the possibility of her elder sibling retiring during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
“In general, she’s kind of just relaxing,” Jamie shared when asked if Britney has any music plans in the pipeline. “And I think that’s good. Britney deserves that. She’s worked her ass off. So if she wants to make another album, great. But if she doesn’t feel like it, she doesn’t have to. She’s given the world a lot. I don’t think there are plans for anything – at the moment.”
But she was quick to insist that Britney isn’t retiring, adding, “Obviously, right now, she’s just trying to quarantine. She’s taking it day by day. And when she wants to make music, she’ll make it. I don’t think you can ever retire someone from their passion.”

Every so often a moody British thriller, set in an impossibly idyllic village harboring dark secrets, is anointed the new “Broadchurch.”And “Deadwater Fell,” an Acorn TV mini-series, is the latest — perhaps because like “Broadchurch,” it also stars David Tennant. Only this time the script is flipped, and instead of playing a police detective hunting a murderer, he’s a Scottish doctor whose wife and three daughters die in a house fire.Recently, Tennant was holed up with his family in London after the Cape Town production of “Around the World in 80 Days,” a series in which he’ll play the eccentric adventurer Phileas Fogg, was halted by the coronavirus pandemic. Which gave him plenty of time to think about the 10 things he’d rather not do without. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.1. Tim MinchinI feel slightly proprietorial with Tim Minchin because he’s one of those people that I went to see in small comedy clubs when he wasn’t Tim Minchin, International Superstar. And I got to know his quirky, barbed, hilarious songs before most people did. Then he started writing Broadway musicals [“Groundhog Day,” “Matilda”] and starring in movies and taking over the world, quite rightly. He’s got one of those brains that I envy, and I adore listening to whatever chunk flows out of it.2. “Dear Evan Hansen”I managed to get tickets to see the original cast in New York maybe three years ago. My wife and my eldest son and I went knowing that this was very much the hot ticket but not really knowing why. And we just sat there transfixed. Ben Platt was extraordinary with his kind of chocolate voice, and there’s an amazing story that’s told with such energy and these fantastic tunes.There’s something very exciting when you feel like you are ahead of the curve of your peer group — to go home and brag about having seen something very special — because it was years before it would come here. Then last year, I went to see the opening in London, with a brand-new guy called Sam Tutty, and he’s equally exciting.3. “Pod Save America”As the world has politically gone to what some might call hell in a handcart, I find myself more and more obsessed with following the ins and outs on both sides of the Atlantic, and what happens next — because your politics are so inextricably linked to ours. Of course, [this podcast] is unashamedly partisan. The four guys [Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, Dan Pfeiffer and Tommy Vietor] used to work for Obama, and it comes from a left-wing, Democrat perspective. But it does it with a wit and a clarity and a slight anarchy that I find very useful to understand how American politics works.4. Marvel ComicsI used to get a Hulk comic when I was little, and it was always Marvel Comics over DC Comics. I never quite connected with Batman and Superman. I realize these are slightly preposterous words to use, but I find Marvel characters somehow more believable. I abandoned them for a bit as a young man trying to be windswept and interesting. But in my slightly more mature years, I’ve allowed myself to admit that I like having Marvel Comics in my life. Of course a few years ago I got to be one of those characters [Kilgrave in Netflix’s “Jessica Jones”], which was a strange through-the-looking-glass moment.5. “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”I’m doing this play called “Good” [scheduled to begin in October at the Playhouse Theater in London], which is about a genuinely good man in the run-up to the Second World War, the rise of Hitler, and how he comes to terms with life under that regime. And how human beings adapt and find what they formerly found appalling perfectly acceptable — to overlook the occasional immorality because it’s easier than standing up and fighting it. I’m trying to get my head as deep into that world as possible, so I’m reading the largest book I’ve ever tried to consume. It’s an absolute doorstop. And this extraordinary retelling of those events sends a chill. It feels much more like a warning of things that might come back.6. “Ed Reardon’s Week”This radio comedy series has run on the BBC for something like 15 years. I’d never really paid it a blind bit of attention, and then I caught a random episode. And it’s fantastic, about this very, very down-at-heel writer who had some mild success, and from then on life has been a series of disappointments. And he now finds himself living in a sort of manky bedsit, scratching around to find the next meal, the next cigarette, the next bottle of whiskey. It’s co-written by a chap called Christopher Douglas, who plays this part magnificently. He’s just this very unpleasant curmudgeon, a narcissistic, selfish man in his late middle age, and yet there’s something terribly endearing about him. It’s very funny, very dark, very bitter and bleak. And there’s something about the misery of it that I find it weirdly comforting.7. Cigarettes After SexI do mean the band rather than the act. I discovered them listening to KROQ in Los Angeles. Every time I would get in the car they’d be on heavy rotation, and I got absolutely mesmerized by their music. It just takes you somewhere that’s got an out-of-body, spine-tingling feel to it, sung by this wonderful androgynous voice. I mean, it’s not what you want to play to pull the cobwebs away. But if you want to lie down in a corner and be consumed by cobwebs, it’s that kind of a vibe.8. Dinner by Heston BlumenthalIt’s a restaurant in the Mandarin Oriental hotel in London, and I’d say that’s been my most exciting dining experience. All the food is based on the earliest English recipes they could discover. So there are items on the menu that were plucked from Richard II’s cookbook, but then given the Heston Blumenthal treatment. For instance, “meat fruit,” which is actually meat pâté constructed to look exactly like an apple or an orange. Because of the heritage of all these dishes, everything has got a story to it and a reason why it’s there, and it’s so beautifully crafted and tastes extraordinary. It’s a real journey into the unknown.9. The ProclaimersThey’ve been the soundtrack of my life, and they continue to be. And with every new piece of music they release, I rekindle my love for them. People probably know them from one or two hits, and yes, they’re very good at making a big party. But they also have a way of writing love songs like nobody else and they put together these wonderful, heart-stopping melodies. I just think they are one of the undervalued pieces of art of our time.10. “Succession”It’s the best TV I’ve seen in ages. There’s just nothing touching it. It’s so good. Every part is so beautifully inhabited. They’re so vile and they’re so hateful — and yet you’re kind of rooting for them. I can imagine as an actor receiving one of those scripts and going, “I cannot believe this has landed in my inbox.” I mean, what a treat to get to say those words. More

The rapper Tekashi69 walked out of a federal prison on Thursday, four months short of his two-year term, thanks to a nationwide effort to stem coronavirus outbreak risks at jails and prisons, which health advocates fear might become a tinder box for infections.Tekashi69 (born Daniel Hernandez), 23, will finish the remainder of his sentence in home confinement, his lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, said.Last year, Mr. Hernandez — also known as 6ix9ine — pleaded guilty to a series of gang robberies and shootings, cooperating with authorities by testifying against his former associates in the gang Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. He has asthma, which his lawyer argued gave him a heightened vulnerability to the coronavirus.U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, who sentenced him, agreed, saying that the pandemic presented “extraordinary and compelling reasons” for a compassionate release of Mr. Hernandez, who, he wrote in his order on Thursday, “no longer will present a meaningful danger to the community if at liberty.”Last week, Judge Engelmayer wrote in a guidance to the Bureau of Prisons: “Had the Court known that sentencing Mr. Hernandez to serve the final four months of his term in a federal prison would have exposed him to a heightened health risk, the Court would have directed that these four months be served instead in home confinement.” More
