From Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish to Bad Bunny, so many artists are going on tour in 2022. Naturally, we're wondering whether BTS will follow suit. In 2020, the group was meant to embark on their "Map of the Soul" tour, but it was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Although BTS couldn't tour in 2021 either, the septet was able to see some of their fans during their "Permission to Dance" On Stage concerts, which took place across four days in LA in November and December. Now that it's a brand new year, we hope BTS can tour around the world again soon. So, what are the chances of that happening? Let's discuss.
BTS talked about the possibility of touring while at the 2021 American Music Awards. During a Nov. 21 interview with "On The Red Carpet," Rm said, "There's more music coming and more performances coming, and a tour's coming." The group has...

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale announced their shocking split in August after 13 years of marriage and nearly 20 years together. Since then the headlines have been all about Gwen's new romance (which was confirmed last week) with her fellow The Voice judge Blake Shelton, but now Gavin's in the spotlight. Us Weekly is reporting that Gavin had a three-year affair with the family's nanny, Mindy Mann. Gwen allegedly found out about the relationship in February, when she discovered texts between Gavin and Mindy. After he finally admitted to the relationship, Gwen reportedly decided to end their marriage and the news was revealed over the Summer. While Gavin has been mostly silent, he's been spotted out and about still wearing his wedding band in recent weeks. Meanwhile, Gwen's been busy promoting the latest season of The Voice and her new music. During the press tour, she's remained mostly coy about the new...

Talking about that timeline. Days before Us Weekly exclusively revealed on Wednesday, Nov. 11, that Gavin Rossdale cheated with the nanny for several years during his marriage to Gwen Stefani, the No Doubt songstress may have hinted at discovering the betrayal in a new interview.

Gwen Stefani has pretty much been an open book since she confirmed her romance with Blake Shelton in early November, but during a recent interview with Kiis-fm's JoJo Wright, she decided to talk about the other man in her life: her ex-husband, Gavin Rossdale. After the radio host asked if Gwen's new song, "Used to Love You," is about Gavin, the No Doubt singer replied, "The song was not written that long ago. Like, I want to say maybe a month and half ago, which is crazy. I had been writing, writing because my life blew up. Everybody knows that my life blew up last February. I'd just been dealing with that. Unexpected. I was going along thinking that was going to be the rest of my life and it's not. I don't know what happened.

The Helpers
Stars: Kristen Quintrall, Denyce Lawton, Christopher Jones, JoJo Wright, Rachel Sterling, Black Thomas, Dustin Harnish, Cameron Diskin, Braxton Davis | Directed by Chris Stokes
Music producer-turned-film director Chris Stokes (You Got Served) turns his hands to horror with The Helpers. And whilst his early work featured a number of rappers and singers he has produced and worked with, this is his first movie Not to follow that format. This time round Stokes takes a bunch of relative unknowns (the majority of whom are credited with small roles in TV fare) and casts them in a movie that blends traditional filmmaking with that most risible of genres – the found-footage film.
The Helpers follows a group of seven friends who are headed on a road trip to Las Vegas, but along the way they get a flat tyre. Leaving the women behind, the men then go off in pursuit of help...

HollywoodLife.com has learned exclusively Selena Gomez checked into Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, Calif. June 9 and still is there now.
Selena Gomez is still in the hospital nearly 24 hours after checking in and HollywoodLife.com has learned exclusively she went to Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center — the same hospital where her boyfriend, Justin Bieber, was treated earlier this year.
“Selena checked in yesterday in the evening under a confidential name,” a source close to the situation tells us June 10. “She’s still here now.”
Providence hospital is located in Burbank, Calif. and is nearly in walking distance from where the 18-year-old starlet filmed The Tonight Show with Jay Leno June 9.
Coincidentally, Justin, 17, was treated at the same medical center in January when he suffered from an allergic reaction while on set at CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Unlike Justin’s brief stint in the hospital, Selena is still there getting tested.

Dianna Agron and Lea Michele are seen next to Cory Monteith in the saucy pictures which have been criticized for sexualizing the actresses. But Mark thinks critics need to realize that they are adults playing teenage school children in the musical-comedy.
The 28-year-old tells Kiis FM presenter JoJo Wright, “Personally, I think it’s not a big deal, Lea is 23 years old and has every right to do that. I mean, come on! We’re obviously not in high school, it’s tongue-in-cheek that we’re in high school.”
He added: “People are starving, Cowboys are losing – there’s more important things to worry about in the world.”

Actor Mark Salling has defended his fellow Glee stars over their sexy photoshoot - insisting critics need to realise they are adults playing teenage schoolkids.
Dianna Agron and Lea Michele are pictured as saucy, scantily-clad cheerleaders in the latest issue of men's magazine GQ, and are also featured on the cover in a provocative pose in which their co-star Cory Monteith has his hand on Michele's butt.
The photos caused a storm of protest from the Parents Television Council, with a spokesman insisting the article is "sexualising the actresses" who are heroes to millions of teenage girls.
Agron spoke out this week (begs18Oct10) to underline that the photoshoot was for a magazine aimed at adult males - and now Salling has also defended the pictures, insisting Glee fans are well aware of the stars' real age.
He tells Kiis FM presenter JoJo Wright, "Personally, I think it's not a big deal. Lea is 23 years old and has every right to do that. I mean, come on! We're obviously not in high school. It's tongue-in-cheek that we're in high school. People are starving, (football team Dallas) Cowboys are losing - there's more important things to worry about in the world."
Bosses at GQ have also spoken out to defend the covershoot. A spokesman says, "The Parents Television Council must not be watching much TV these days and should learn to divide reality from fantasy. As often happens in Hollywood, these 'kids' are in their twenties. Cory Montieth's almost 30! I think they're old enough to do what they want."...

Dianna Agron has sent out her apology over sexy photo spread for the November issue of GQ magazine. After The Parents Television Council blasted the shots she shared with co-stars, Lea Michele and Cory Monteith, for being disturbing and bordering on pedophilia, the Quinn Fabray of "Glee" is saying sorry to those offended.
The TV beauty began her statement posted on her blog by stressing that she spoke out for herself, and was not representing her co-stars, "Glee" or Fox. She continued to write, "In the land of Madonna, Britney [Spears], Miley [Cyrus], Gossip Girl, other public figures and shows that have pushed the envelope and challenged the levels of comfort in their viewers and fans...we are not the first."
"Now, in perpetuating the type of images that evoke these kind of emotions, I am sorry," the 24-year-old actress said. "If you are hurt or these photos make you uncomfortable, it was never our intention.

Agron started her statement by writing that she and Michele are not the first celebrities who get racy for a magazine spread, comparing them with Madonna, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, "Gossip Girl" stars and other public figures who "have pushed the envelope and challenged the levels of comfort in their viewers and fans" but still can get away with it.
Still, Agron admitted, "If you are hurt or these photos make you uncomfortable, it was never our intention. And if your eight-year-old has a copy of our GQ cover in hand, again I am sorry," before adding "But I would have to ask,...

If Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus can get away with posing for racy magazine photos, why can't the Glee kids?

When "Glee" stars Lea Michele, Corey Monteith and Dianna Agron appeared on the cover of GQ, it immediately caused a frenzy — at least with the Parents Television Council, which said the racy photo spread "borders on pedophilia."
While the three stars play high school students on the hit show, in real life, they are all in their 20s, and "Glee" co-star Mark Salling is coming to their defense, noting that he doesn't see the controversy in the Terry Richardson-shot pics.
"Personally, I think it's not a big deal," Salling said in an interview with 102.7 Kiis FM's JoJo Wright. "Lea is 23 years old and has every right to do that. I mean, come on! We're obviously not in high school. It's tongue-in-cheek that we're in high school.

"Twilight Saga" stars Robert Pattinson and Jackson Rathbone (aka Jasper Cullen) joked around at the June 24 world premiere of "Eclipse" inside the Kiis FM Bing Box with radio personality JoJo Wright. The topic? Their real or fake Twitter accounts.
Rob admitted he has a fake Twitter. And a deadpan Jackson explained: "I have a fake Rob Pattinson Twitter account that I really like to post on, like 'Today I took a shower. That never happens.'"
Funny. He's funny.
Let's have more Jackson Rathbone interviews, please. We bet Rob would be willing to let Jackson step into the press hot seat from time to time.
With two more movies to go, burn-out approaches!

Lindsay Lohan says her dad is a "foul" man. The actress is still trying to get over her father Michael Lohan's intervention attempt earlier this month and insists his constant accusations she is abusing prescription drugs are false and disgraceful.
"I think it's just foul, some of the things that get said by my dad," she said in an interview with Kiis-fm DJ JoJo Wright. "No one should ever have to worry about their father saying those things publicly against them... it distracts from all the work that I'm doing."
Lindsay has also hit out against her party girl reputation and insists she is just a young woman having fun. The 23-year-old star said, "I don't really pay attention to it all. It's a very build-you-up-to-take-you-down industry. It's not a crime to go out and have fun with your friends."
