Angus Young

AC/DC have put out the latest teasers of their comeback by placing mysterious posters outside guitarist Angus Young’s old school.

A post on Australian radio station Triple M Rock’s Instagram account showed the phrases “Are you ready?” and “PWR UP” have appeared on a poster outside Young’s alma mater, Sydney’s Ashfield Boys High School.

Although there is no additional information on the meaning of the flyer, but the band have launched a new PWR UP website, where fans can sign up for updates.

The posters follow the posting of photos on the band’s website, before they disappeared, which appeared to confirm the the return of singer Brian Johnson and drummer Phil Rudd. Their lightning flash logo also appeared on their social media channels on Monday.

Johnson left the band in 2016 after battling hearing loss, but has long wanted to return, and Rudd was replaced by Chris Slade for their Rock or Bust tour after he was convicted of drugs possession and threats to kill in New Zealand in 2015.

In the photos, Johnson was seen returning as their vocalist while Rudd is on drums.

The band have long been rumoured to be recording a new album, the first since 2014, with reports in 2018 indicating they would reunite with Johnson for a new record that would feature the work of their late rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young.

Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider, who is close to the band, has claimed that the next album is already finished – but was put on ice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“What will be achieved, the reuniting of the band that we know for one more album, is gonna be uplifting and heartbreaking at the same time. Because nothing goes on forever. But this is the ultimate ‘one more time,'” he told ABC Audio.

O.J. Simpson

Diary extracts from Nicole Brown Simpson detail the horrific abuse she allegedly suffered at the hands of O.J. Simpson.

The extracts are set to be unveiled during a two-hour Investigation Discovery special, O.J. & Nicole: An American Tragedy, which coincides with the 25th anniversary of Simpson’s acquittal in the infamous murder case.

According to Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper, Nicole wrote about 60 occasions that Simpson allegedly physically abused and threatened her – including during their turbulent marriage – claiming he flipped out into a jealous rage and smashed her car up, threw her against walls and repeatedly left her beaten and bruised.

One time, she claimed, Simpson beat her so badly that he tore her sweater and her socks off her body, and he also screamed at her, “I have a gun in my hand, get the f*** out of here!”

The extracts reveal Simpson’s alleged abuse up until he the deaths of Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994. He was acquitted of the murders in criminal court, he was later found “responsible” for their deaths in a civil trial in 1996.

Tanya Brown, Nicole’s sister, says in the film: “Maybe she knew this was her destiny and maybe subconsciously she knew something was going to happen. Maybe that’s why she kept real detailed diary entries.”

The special premieres Oct. 5 and will also feature appearances by family friend Ron Shipp, plus cops and lawyers who were a part of the investigation.

Max Ehrich

Demi Lovato’s former fiance Max Ehrich is desperate for the pop star to “forgive” him and take him back after the singer abruptly called off their engagement.

The split news hit headlines on Thursday, but over the weekend, the actor, who is filming a movie on location in Atlanta, took to social media and revealed he only found out he had been dumped “through a tabloid.”

He followed that up on Sunday by claiming he has yet to speak to Lovato directly to discuss the reasons behind her decision to end their engagement.

“To this moment… we haven’t spoken over the phone… we haven’t even officially ended anything to each (other), literally,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories timeline.

“I’m here in real time with y’all. I love Demetria (her full name) and just want her to be healthy and safe…”

Ehrich has since issued a public plea to the Sorry Not Sorry hitmaker, begging her for a reconciliation.

In a post on Facebook, he wrote, “Forgive me and come back to me please.”

He didn’t elaborate on why he was seeking forgiveness from Lovato, but she has yet to publicly respond.

The former The Young and the Restless star proposed to Lovato in July, just four months after they started dating.

Buddy Valastro

Celebrity chef Buddy Valastro is recovering from two surgeries after his hand was repeatedly impaled in a “freak accident” at his at-home bowling alley.

The star of hit reality show Cake Boss was recently attempting to fix the pin-setting machine at his New Jersey mansion during a family fun day, but his right hand got stuck and was stabbed multiple times by a metal rod.

His relatives rushed to his aid, and his 16-year-old son, Buddy Jr., was able to free his father by using a saw.

Valastro, 43, was hospitalized and shared a photo of himself laid up in his hospital bed on Instagram, with his right arm in a cast.

He explained he had been in a “terrible accident”, but didn’t go into detail until Monday, when he appeared remotely on U.S. breakfast show Today and revealed all about the horrifying incident.

“It’s just a real freak accident, and it was crazy just the way it went down…,” Valastro began, describing how the blunt rod managed to “pierce through” the skin between his middle finger and ring finger.

“It just blew out half my hand,” he said, recalling how he “screamed” and feared he was “going to faint” after seeing his bloody hand.

The master baker managed to calm himself down and gave instructions to his sons to free him from the machine, with the help of a loved one who happened to be a firefighter.

They raced to a nearby hospital, where the Carlo’s Bakery owner underwent two surgeries, and is now facing an “uphill battle” to make a full recovery and get back into the kitchen.

Growing emotional as he discussed his gratitude for his family, he said, “It makes me want to fight to get better for them. It makes me want to be the man that I was.”

“I’m so proud of my son,” he tearfully added.

Since the incident, Valastro has been inundated with well wishes from friends and fans online, including fellow celebrity chefs including Emeril Lagasse, Rachael Ray, Michael Symon, and Rocco DiSpirito.

Metallica are digging deep to aid firefighters battling blazes in California, Washington, and Oregon.

The heavy rockers have pledged to donate $250,000 to help the ongoing wildfire relief efforts via their All Within My Hands non-profit foundation, which was launched in 2017.

“Wildfires have become a cruel and unwelcome annual benchmark in California, and this year we have seen them tragically extend across the entire west coast of our country,” a statement from the band reads. “This is the fourth consecutive year, dating back to the formation of the Foundation, that All Within My Hands has activated to support fire relief: the critical local services component of our mission.

“This year, we will be donating a sum of $250,000 to five organizations on the front line of this environmental crisis that has made its way into the lives and homes of far too many. The organizations include the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Relief Fund, the Oregon Community Foundation’s Wildfire Relief and Recovery Fund, the Community Foundation Santa Cruz County’s Fire Response Fund, the North Valley Community Foundation Wildfire Relief and Recovery Fund, and the Community Foundation of North Central Washington NCW Fire Relief Fund.

“We would like to encourage you to join us in supporting those in need and our first responders in any way you can by donating money, non-perishable food, clothing and other supplies, or by giving your time volunteering or providing safe, temporary housing. Every little bit helps.”

The band donated $100,000 in 2018 and 2019 to help wildfire relief efforts in California and staged a wildfire relief benefit concert in San Francisco in 2017.

Chrissy Teigen was hospitalized on Sunday due to pregnancy complications.

The model is expecting her third child with husband John Legend and recently revealed this pregnancy is a lot worse than her previous two. As the star falls into the high-risk category, she was recently placed on bed rest and has pressed pause on all work commitments.

After accidentally showing off her hospital room’s phone number on Instagram, the Bring The Funny star had to switch rooms and then explained to fans why she was receiving medical care.

“We all know I’ve been on bed rest for a few weeks,” Chrissy said. “And that’s super serious bed rest, like get up to quickly pee and that’s it. I take baths twice a week, no showering”

“I was always, always bleeding,” the star told followers. “I’m about halfway through pregnancy and blood has been going for a month. So like, maybe a little less than a month. We’re talking more than your period, girls, but definitely not spotting. A lot of people spot and it’s usually fine.”

She continued: “Every time I’d go to the bathroom it would be blood, but honestly, just laying there would be blood. But today, the big difference was that it kind of was like you were to turn a faucet on to low and leave it there.

“It’s so weird because I feel really good. I’m usually at my happiest pregnant, mood-wise. I feel happier than I do not pregnant. That’s why it’s so hard for me to come to terms with (the situation). It was at the point today where it was never stopping bleeding.”

While pleading with fans who happen to be doctors to stop reaching out and trying to diagnose her, Chrissy explained her “placenta is really, really weak” but insisted: “The baby is so healthy, growing stronger than (the couple’s kids) Luna or Miles. He moves a lot. He moves so much earlier than they ever did – he’s so different than they were. He’s strong.”

Chrissy admitted she and her baby boy have to make it through the next few weeks to make it out of the “danger zone.”

Taylor Swift

Shots were fired outside Taylor Swift’s Tribeca townhouse on Sunday during an armed robbery at a nearby sneaker store.

According to reports, the incident occurred at Patron of New York at 151 Franklin Street – near the $18 million property Taylor purchased in 2017. Police told local news outlets that four bullets were fired with no injuries or death.

A waiter at a nearby restaurant told the New York Post: “Suddenly we heard four shots and I was freaked out. I saw people at the scene run. They look scared and jumped into a car.”

Another witness told the outlet that the shootout was the second such incident in just a month, adding: “I saw people at the scene run. They look scared and jumped into a car.

“It’s a family neighbourhood, and I choose safety over access to fancy sneakers every time.”

As well as the townhouse, Taylor also owns three apartments next door – making her the owner of $50 million worth of properties in the neighbourhood.

Gwyneth Paltrow dared to bare all on Sunday as she celebrated her 48th birthday with a nude photo on Instagram.

The Avengers star posed for the cheeky snap in the great outdoors, holding her limbs in such a way as to preserve her modesty as she beamed for the camera.

“In nothing but my birthday suit today…,” she captioned the image, before crediting her lifestyle brand Goop’s latest addition to its beauty product line-up for her youthful appearance.

“thank you all so much for the birthday wishes and thank you to @goop ‘s insanely amazing brand new body butter for making me think I can still get my kit off. #goopgenes.”

Among the fans marvelling at the birthday girl’s fit physique were fellow actresses Vanessa Hudgens, Olivia Wilde, and Courteney Cox, who commented, “Happy Birthday! What a beautiful girl you are and inspiring in so many ways.”

And her former Glee co-star Matthew Morrison remarked, “So happy you were born! What an inspired life you’ve made for yourself. And the GP train keeps going! Love ya, chica!”

However, at least one follower wasn’t impressed, as her 16-year-old daughter Apple, from her former marriage to rocker Chris Martin, simply commented, “MOM.”

The teen was likely embarrassed further after Paltrow also shared a video message in which she declared the “best place to be naked” was by her husband, TV producer Brad Falchuk.

Meanwhile, her man took a moment to heap praise on Paltrow on social media in honor of her special day.

Alongside a shot of the actress reclining on a couch, he wrote, “This bada** is 48 today. She makes pizza from scratch, is never late for cocktail hour, makes looking good annoyingly easy and never skips an opportunity to put an a**hole in his place.

“She makes friends feel like family and family feel like friends. Trust me, she’s the best. Happy, happy, happy birthday, Beauty. I love you.”

He then concluded his post by urging fans to celebrate her birthday by exercising their right to vote in the U.S. elections this November: “PS – if anyone reading this wants to get Gwyneth something for her birthday, please VOTE! Register your friends to VOTE! Drive people to the polls! She absolutely loves it when you VOTE!!”

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift has surpassed Whitney Houston’s record for the most weeks spent at number one by a female artist after returning to the top of the U.S. albums chart.

The Beatles lead the all-time list of artists with the most weeks at number one, having racked up 132 weeks to date.

Back in the current countdown, Pop Smoke’s Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon holds steady at two, while YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s Top slips from one to three.

Alicia Keys’ Alicia is new at four, ahead of Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die at five.

Max Ehrich

Actor Max Ehrich has confirmed his broken engagement to Demi Lovato, alleging he discovered he’d been dumped “through a tabloid.”

The former The Young and the Restless star proposed to Lovato in July, just four months after they started dating, but reports surfaced on Thursday indicating the romance was over.

An insider told People magazine they decided to call off their marriage plans and focus on their careers, after realizing they weren’t supposed to be together, and Demi appeared to hint she was single again in an Instagram Story post, uploaded shortly before the split news hit headlines.

In the video, the singer was featured wearing a T-shirt bearing the phrase, “dogs over people,” and she cryptically zoomed in on the words to let her clothing convey her feelings to fans.

Now Max has broken his silence over the failed engagement in Instagram Story posts of his own, suggesting his now-ex-fiancee had failed to tell him the news in person, as he has been on location in Atlanta, Georgia for an upcoming movie called Southern Gospel.

“Imagine finding out about the status of your relationship through a tabloid,” he wrote in the first message on Saturday.

“While your (sic) in the middle of filming a biopic movie about a Pastor in a Christian Church whose intention of the film is to help people,” he continued.

Concluding the posts, he added, “God Bless.”

Demi has yet to respond to Max’s claims.

The break-up took many fans by surprise as Demi had constantly gushed about her husband-to-be, explaining he made her want to be “the best version” of herself, and saying, “I knew that I loved you the moment I met you.”

She also recently confessed she would “love to elope” with Max.
