The Filter

Post Malone is releasing a rosé! Posty and his manager travelled to Provence, where they worked with winemaker Alexis Cornu to try grapes for his new wine called Maison No. 9.

Harry Styles fans want to be around his scent so badly that there is a candle from Target that is now sold out everywhere because one fan realized it smells exactly like the cologne that Harry likes to wear. Harry is known to wear Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille, which smells like the 7 dollar candle called Cashmere Vanilla - notably much cheaper. 

Diplo confirmed that he has become a father! He made a post praising the mother Model Jevon King of his new son named Pace. The baby was born at the end of March but Diplo said online that he has yet to meet him because of social distancing. He explained that he was hesitant to post about his new son because not only does he have a better hair cut but because he has yet to meet him and says they are separated by a million miles and closed borders. 

Billie Eilish has been dealing with a stalker. She had to file a restraining order against a man who keeps showing up at her house. He apparently first showed up asking if Billie lived there and then returned at night showing very crazy behaviour. And even refused to leave her property and sat down and started reading a book. And has since come back multiple times - that is horrifying. He is now being ordered to stay 183 meters away from her at all times so hopefully that does the trick to give her and her family some peace. 

Tekashi 6ix9ine just tried to donate 200 thousand dollars to No Kid Hungry, an organization that goes to help children in need - but the organization turned down the donation saying that they don’t want to accept funding from donors whose activities don't align with their mission and values. He then blasted the charity online in a now deleted post where he said that the organization would rather take food out of the mouths of innocent children and he said he has never seen something so cruel. 

The Filter will be back next TUESDAY! (Monday is a Holiday in Canada)

We got a brand new song from Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande called Stuck With U - and the video featured a ton of fan videos that were sent in as well as Justin and Hailey being all cute and Ariana singing alone from where they have been spending time in isolation. It wasn’t until the last few seconds of the videos that had fans shocked. Ariana gets up from the bed that she has been singing on and into the arms of a man that walks into the room. We even see his face for a few seconds and he has been identified as Dalton Gomez - a luxury real estate agent in California. 

We love some Taylor Swift easter eggs  and there are plenty that are pointing towards a collaboration between Taylor Swift and Katy Perry coming this Friday so lets break it all down. Katy Perry announced that she has a new song called 'Daisies' that is coming out on May 15th - this Friday. Taylor also posted a photo of herself drinking wine wearing a sweater with daisies on it - Which would be a coincidence in any other situation but this is Taylor Swift we’re talking about - she is all about having hints in everything she does. - also fans found the sweater online and its called “daisy Jane”. 

Katy Perry’s unborn child already has some attitude! Early Monday, Perry shared a sonogram images that appears to show the baby flipping her the bird. “When your unborn daughter gives you a middle finger from the womb you know you’re in for it,” the 35-year-old pop star wrote in the caption, adding the hashtag “#happymothersdaytome.” 

Ed Sheeran recently surprised some UK music students by popping into their virtual lesson. According to Timothy Spoerer, the music director at Ecclesbourne Primary School in London, the singer-songwriter answered questions and taught the children how to play some of his hit songs on guitar during the Zoom session.

It is important to remember that weight should never define beauty standards! 

We are getting a cooking show from Selena Gomez - She has been using her time in isolation to brush up on her cooking skills and now she is going to bring all of those to us - which a new show that is going to be on HBO Max (Crave in Canada) - she is going to star in it as well as be the executive producer and its debuting this summer.

Lady Gaga released the track list for her new album Chromatica! A song called Rain on Me is coming with Ariana Grande which we predicted back in our very first video! Another with BlackPink called Sour Candy and another with Elton John called Sine From Above. Chromatica was supposed to be released on April 10th but she has pushed the date since so much was going on with coronavirus. She has yet to release a new release day but hopefully the fact that she posted the tracks means its coming sooner than later. 

Ticketmaster faced a lot of backlash around their rules for refunds for postponed shows, but they have just changed the rules again. This time it’s good news. They released a statement saying that starting on May 1st you will have 30 days to request a refund on cancelled or postponed concert dates that were affected by the coronavirus. There will also be an option to receive credit for a cancelled or postponed show or donate the ticket to health-care workers through Live Nation’s Hero Nation program.

Its all rumours right now but her fans definitely make some good points, and at least we know we can expect something in the future!
