Taylor Swift to release first ‘From the Vault’ song featuring vocals from Maren Morris

tmp43cab79f-d166-44c0-84d6-4b51439e5376-jpg

Taylor Swift announced Wednesday that she’ll be releasing the first new “Fearless” single ‘from the vault’ at midnight Thursday, titled “You All Over Me.”  Country singer Maren Morris, who joined Swift onstage in Dallas in October 2018 during her “Reputation” tour, will provide background vocals.

Swift tweeted: “One thing I’ve been loving about these From The Vault songs is that they’ve never been heard, so I can experiment, play, and even include some of my favorite artists.”

Swift announced last month that she had completely rerecorded “Fearless,” complete with six never-before-heard songs, during her ongoing battle with former manager Scooter Braun over her masters. Braun sold Swift’s master recordings to a private equity firm which allowed him to profit from album sales, music videos and artwork for the six albums, from her self-titled 2006 debut to the 2017 “Reputation.”

Pop Smoke’s ‘Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon’ Makes Billboard Chart History

tmpebc1e42a-b9c1-412f-a21b-3323e803487a-jpg

Pop Smoke’s posthumous Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon debut album now holds the longest reign at No. 1 on the Top Rap Albums chart ever. The project has spent 20 weeks at the chart’s apex since its July 2020 release.

Pop Smoke has also been a dominating force on the Billboard 200. Shoot for the Stars maintains the album chart’s Top 5 and has spent 33 weeks there, which is the third most of any album released this century. The Brooklyn native’s impressive run only trails Taylor Swift’s 1989 and Adele’s 21 albums as far as time spent in the Top 5.

Pop was shot and killed during a Los Angeles home invasion in February 2020. He was just 20 years old at the time of his death.

President Biden announces second extension of enrollment window for Obamacare

tmp2eae4baa-af9e-46fc-a862-3ea458a523c8-jpg

On Tuesday, President Biden announced that he would extend the special enrollment period for people to purchase Affordable Care Act health plans by three months, until Aug. 15, as part of his administration’s effort to address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Thousands had signed up for Obamacare during the special enrollment period that Biden ordered from Feb. 15 to May 15. The second extension will help new and current enrollees take advantage of the enhanced subsidies in the Covid-19 relief package that was signed into law this month.

The federal ACA insurance marketplace typically is open for only a limited annual enrollment period, usually six weeks at the end of the year. Buying a plan outside that period is generally allowed only after a major change in life circumstances, such as the birth of a child or the loss of a job.

The Covid-19 relief package raises subsidies for most people who have coverage through the ACA’s marketplaces. The Department of Health and Human Services has estimated that Biden’s American Rescue Plan will, on average, decrease the premiums by $50 a person per month and $85 a policy per month. The additional assistance will be available starting April 1 to people enrolling in coverage through HealthCare.gov.

Postmaster General DeJoy unveils 10-year plan to alter service and cut costs

tmp7871ed7d-9a55-409a-b49f-e5a368e8c87a-jpg

On Tuesday, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy debuted his 10-year plan to cut costs at the U.S. Postal Service. The 58-page plan includes raising prices, slowing some first-class mail service, and reducing office hours. The plan lowers the service standard for first-class mail from three days or less to five days or less, shifting from air to surface transportation.

DeJoy and Ron Bloom, U.S. Postal Service board of governors chair, said in a letter noted in the plan that unless the proposed changes are made the post office stands to lose $160 billion over the next decade. The plan also offers some areas of expansion, including recruitment and retention, new offerings designed to expand use of the mail by small businesses in communities, expanded seven-day delivery outreach, and $40 billion allocated for investment. According to a statement, the $40 billion investment will go toward “workforce, new vehicles, improved Post Offices, technology improvements, and infrastructure upgrades.”

Texans QB Deshaun Watson now facing 16 lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct

tmp091401b4-a8e5-4288-9df5-f52c8a4cd63c-jpg

Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is now facing 16 civil lawsuits alleging sexual harassment and assault after two more were filed against him on Tuesday.  The 14th lawsuit was filed Monday night and appeared on the Harris County District Clerk’s website on Tuesday morning. This comes after six other lawsuits were filed Monday, including one alleging that Watson sexually assaulted a woman earlier this month. The new lawsuits filed later on Tuesday state that the incidents occurred in May 2020 and October 2020. 

Watson’s lawyer Rusty Hardin said in a statement Tuesday that his law firm has “strong evidence” showing that at least one of the accusers attempted to blackmail Watson. That now “calls into question the legitimacy of the other cases as well,” adding that he believes “any allegation that Deshaun forced a woman to commit a sexual act is completely false.” The blackmail allegedly occurred in January 2021 when an accuser requested $30,000 in exchange for her “indefinite silence about what she stated was a consensual encounter.” 

All 16 of the lawsuits have been filed by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee, who said that 24 women have come forward with allegations about Watson.

tmp04537c2b-34d7-42fc-9390-9e2f6a6b94d8-jpg

Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco has agreed to a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Flacco’s agents confirmed on Twitter the deal for one year and $3.5 million (up to $4 million with incentives.) The 36-year-old Flacco spent the 2020 season with the New York Jets and made five appearances while filling in for an injured Sam Darnold. He finished with 864 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions. A neck injury during the 2019 season knocked Flacco out of play after eight games of his first year with the Denver Broncos. He had thrown for 1,822 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions during that time, and the team was 2-6 with him under center.

Former Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel is engaged to boyfriend Paul Bernon, coming just after she finalized her contentious divorce from  ex-husband Jason Hoppy. Hoppy and Frankel, both 50, wed in 2010 and separated in December 2012, with Frankel filing for divorce a month later. They reached a financial settlement in July 2016, however, remained at odds over custody of their 10-year-old daughter Bryn for years.

Frankel started dating Bernon, a film producer and real estate developer, in 2018. The two recently sparked engagement rumors when Frankel was spotted wearing a massive diamond ring over the weekend in Florida.
