    Niall Horan Takes Fans Behind the Scenes in New Music Video for 'Black and White'

    [embedded content]

    Coming off of ‘Heartbreak Weather’, the single itself was written by the One Direction member with Julian Bunetta, Teddy Geiger, Alexander Izquierdo and Scott Harris.
    Apr 22, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Niall Horan has treated fans to a music video for his love song “Black and White”. One month after releasing his second solo album “Heartbreak Weather”, the One Direction member offered a behind-the-scene look at his studio and stage preparation through the brand new visual.
    Released on Tuesday, April 21, the more-than-three-minute promo unveils a montage of grainy footage that sees the 26-year-old Irish singer-songwriter being on the road. It also gives a sneak peek at him singing the song in the studio, doing a photo shoot and goofing off backstage.
    In the chorus of the single, the ex-boyfriend of Hailee Steinfeld could be heard sweetly crooning, “Yeah, I see us in black and white/ Crystal clear on a starlit night/ In all your gorgeous colors / I promise that I’ll love you for the rest of my life/ See you standing in your dress/ I swear in front of all our friends/ There’ll never be another/ I promise that I’ll love you for the rest of my life.”
    “Black and White” was written by the “This Town” hitmaker along with Teddy Geiger, Julian Bunetta, Scott Harris and Alexander Izquierdo. Produced by Bunetta, it is one of the tracks included in “Heartbreak Weather” which has since its debut in mid-March given him his first British number one as a solo artist.
    Sharing his thought on the success of his follow-up to his 2017 debut “Flicker”, the “Nice to Meet Ya” singer admits that the whole acknowledgment is a “huge” achievement for him. He added, “I spent 14 months on this album and to have it received like this is just incredible for me.”
    In support of his sophomore album, Niall initially planned to go on an extensive “Nice to Meet Ya” world tour with Lewis Capaldi. He, however, scrapped the dates because of the coronavirus pandemic. “This was a difficult decision, but the wellbeing of my fans and touring family is always my top priority,” he said in his Instagram announcement.

    “Not being able to tour for what is effectively most of 2020 just didn’t feel right and I’m so sorry to all you amazing people who bought tickets. I look forward to being able to bring new music and a new tour for all of my fans around the world in 2021,” he added. “I want to announce new dates soon but I don’t think it’s fair on you guys to do so until the dust has settled and things have gone back to normal.”

    Charlamagne Tha God Not Feeling Drake's 'Toosie Slide': 'It's Wack'

    Instagram

    Calling it not organic, the ‘Breakfast Club’ co-host says in a new interview, ‘The s**t might still work but it just don’t seem organic. A lot of times with those TikTok dances, it’s just organic.’
    Apr 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Drake’s “Toosie Slide” may be a massive hit especially on TikTok, but Charlamagne Tha God appears not to be impressed by the song. During a recent interview in an episode of “The Brilliant Idiots” podcast, the “Breakfast Club” co-host made his feelings public.
    “I think it’s wack and I think it’s beneath Drake,” he critiized the track, which debuted at No. 1 on the charts. “I think that when you’re the biggest artist in the world, when you’re the biggest rapper in the world, I don’t like to see you chasing trends.”
    He went on saying, “It’s like, why be a surfer when you’re a f***ing wave? I just didn’t respect it.”
    Calling it not organic, Charlamagne continued, “The s**t might still work but it just don’t seem organic. A lot of times with those TikTok dances, it’s just organic. It’s a song people like and somebody does something to it and it goes. It was like it felt too forced. Too corporate. Too industry.”
    “I just feel like Drake has built himself up into such a way that he don’t have to do that s**t, man,” he said of Drizzy.

    Apparently, some fans could relate to Charlamagne. “The way charlamagne feels abt drake’s toosie slide is how i feel. TO ME, it seems like he made a song for ppl to do on Tik-Tok. And dats cool,” one fan tweeted. “Same time, you’re drake. You dnt have to make songs like dat unless it’s on accident. Example: ‘in my feelings.’ ”
    “He didn’t lie. Drake fans need to get over it,” another user wrote. “As a drake fan I can’t agree more with Charlamagne,” another comment read.
    However, some others were against the criticism. “i’ve seen countless videos on the internet of children and entire families doing the dance and having a blast. ever stop and think maybe that’s all Drake wanted out of this one? what more can you ask for in a time like this,” a fan defended the Canadian star. One other added, “N***a charlamagne made a video mad at drake for making a good song saying he too industry lmao n***a the whole point is to make money.”

    Jenna Dewan Dances Passionately to Justin Bieber's 'Intentions' One Month After Giving Birth

    WENN

    Accepting Sara Foster’s TikTok dance challenge, the ‘Step Up’ actress flaunts a flat stomach as she shows off her skills just weeks after welcoming her first son with fiance Steve Kazee.
    Apr 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jenna Dewan has just given birth to her second child but it did not stop her from showing off her incredible dancing skills. A little over a month after welcoming a baby boy with fiance Steve Kazee, the “Step Up” star danced passionately to Justin Bieber’s “Intentions” in a TikTok video.
    Accepting Sara Foster’s challenge, the 39-year-old shared the clip on Instagram with a caption that read, “Okay okay okay…I’m here @tiktok!” Wearing a pink loungewear while letting her medium-length brunette hair down, she offered glimpses at her post-pregnancy tummy as she jammed to the beat.
    Upon seeing how well Jenna executed the dance moves in the Monday, April 20 video, Sara could not help but praise the ex-wife of Channing Tatum. “I need to understand how a body can move like this. Especially a body that had a baby 4 weeks ago. I will delete myself doing this dance, burn all traces of it and never dance again,” she commented. “You are perfection.”

    Apparently, Sara wasn’t the only one left impressed by how well Jenna danced after giving birth. Actress Kate Hudson wrote, “Wait…what?! U had a baby five seconds ago! Amazing.” Odette Yustman, in the meantime, chimed in, “Ummmm….. you are a superhuman!!!!” Fellow actress Emmanuelle Chriqui simply exclaimed, “YES!!!! She is back!”
    This was not the first time the “Flirty Dancing” host showed off her dancing skills on social media. In late March, she let out a clip of her and Steve doing a Just Dance battle. Over a close-up photo of her looking disappointed, she admitted defeat by writing, “I can’t win Just Dance to save my life.”

    Starting her career in Hollywood as professional dancer, Jenna recently expressed her yearning to dance again. In an Instagram post that saw her dancing in black attire, she wrote, “Missing this today! Dance has always been my emotional release, where i connect the strongest, feel my most sensual, powerful and free. Might have to start tik tok after all.”
