Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are married in intimate wedding ceremony

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are husband and wife.  Stefani, 51, and Shelton, 45, tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Shelton’s Tishomingo ranch in Oklahoma.  Stefani posted pictures from their wedding on her Instagram account with the caption: “July 3rd 2021 dreams do come true !!! ❤ @blakeshelton i love you

The news of their wedding comes several weeks after Stefani shared that her family had celebrated a bridal shower for her. The couple has been teasing their highly anticipated wedding for several months. In May, Shelton said: “I want her to do all of that stuff and handle it because it’s going to be great. She’s in the middle of planning the thing, and she’s always so mindful … of me.”

Stefani and Shelton met on the set of The Voice in 2015, where the couple bonded over their divorces — Shelton from Miranda Lambert, and Stefani from Gavin Rossdale.  Last October 2020, Shelton proposed, with the couple announcing their engagement on Instagram sharing a photo of Stefani and Shelton kissing as she showed off her ring. Shelton popped the question at his ranch in Tishomingo, where the pair spent most of lockdown during the pandemic.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne celebrate their 39th wedding anniversary

shutterstock_102109780

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne celebrated 39 years of marriage this weekend; married in 1982, their anniversary was on Sunday, July 4th.

Sharon shared two photos from their wedding on social media:  “Thank you for 39 years. For the most incredible life together. The crazy, wonderful and insane times. Yes, pain and sorrow too, but we got through it. We worked so hard for years professionally and personally. We succeed together. You are my soul, my life. What a fantastic life we have lived so far, the best thing is there’s more to come. Every day is an adventure, every day I love you more and respect you more. My soulmate, my love and my friend here’s to our next adventure! Love you always.”  Ozzy wrote: “Happy Anniversary My Love! – July 4, 1982”.

Sharon recently revealed that a biopic about their courtship is in the works. In 2018, Sharon told Variety how the movie “starts the day we meet and will focus on how our lives were totally different but very similar in ways: I was brought up by a powerful, successful father, ­— the late, famously tough Black Sabbath/Small Faces/ELO manager Don Arden — and Ozzy was brought up extremely poor and somewhat abused,” she says of the drama. “It’s definitely going to be a tearjerker. It’s not going to be a sex-and-drugs movie at all. Ozzy is so much more than that. I would hate to be a cliché.”

Take a look at the lyric video for unreleased Tom Petty track ‘105 Degrees’

shutterstock_666885685

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ previously unreleased song “105 Degrees” has dropped as a lyric video. The track appears on new album Angel Dream, which is a remake of Petty’s 1996 soundtrack LP for the movie She’s the One.

Petty’s estate said in a statement: “To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of She’s The One, the album has been re-imagined as Angel Dream. The original release of She’s The One included several songs that were written during the Wildflowers period, but were not selected for inclusion on that album. The recent release of Wildflowers and All The Rest included these songs, and therefore they are not duplicated here. In their place, four previously unreleased songs (also written during this period) are added to this album: two Petty original songs (‘105 Degrees’ and ‘One of Life’s Little Mysteries’), a cover of JJ Cale’s ‘Thirteen Days,’ and the Petty- penned instrumental ‘French Disconnection.’  Additionally, the album features an extended version of ‘Supernatural Radio.’ All tracks have been remixed by Ryan Ulyate and remastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. Brand new cover art was commissioned to emphasize the album as a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers release, rather than a soundtrack album.”

Check out the lyric video for “105 Degrees” – here.  Angel Dream is available now.

Cinderella was originally scheduled to be released in theaters on February 5, 2021, but the date was pushed back to July 16. However, Sony ultimately decided to sell the film’s rights to Amazon, and the film will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video on September 3.

President and First Lady arrive in Miami, as rescue efforts at Surfside condo collapse site are suspended

shutterstock_2000378519

Officials said that rescue efforts at the site of the collapsed Surfside, Florida condominium building were halted on Thursday out of concern about the stability of the remaining structure. Search crews that have working over the last week stopped work shortly after 2 a.m., Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava told a news conference.

The halt in rescue efforts came on the same day that crews and relatives of those still missing met with President Joe Biden. The president’s visit comes a week after Champlain Towers South, a 12-story beachfront condominium building in Surfside, suddenly came crashing down. Biden and first lady Jill Biden thanked first responders and search and rescue teams, and met with the families of victims. Biden commended the strength of the families of people involved in the condo collapse, and after visiting the site with Mrs. Biden, the president said that the families were “realistic” about the prospect that the chances of their loved ones’ survival decreases by the day but said “at minimum” they hope to recover the bodies.

The number of confirmed dead is now 18, with residents still unaccounted for standing at 145. Concerns remained that the still standing portion of the complex could also collapse, with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Raide Jadallah saying: “What we know is that the columns on the east side of the building are kind of, of concern, not compromised, but just right now of concern. Hypothetically, worst-case scenario: If these columns are truly really bad, we are worried they could collapse right back into the parking garage.”

Trump Organization, CFO Allen Weisselberg plead not guilty to tax fraud charges in Manhattan DA investigation

shutterstock_347478077

The Trump Organization’s chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, and lawyers for the company appeared in front of a Manhattan judge Thursday, pleading not guilty to charges in what prosecutors called a sweeping tax fraud scheme. The charges were unsealed after former President Donald Trump’s longtime aide and the company were indicted by the Manhattan District Attorney and Attorney General Letitia James. Weisselberg entered the courtroom in handcuffs and entered the not guilty plea on charges related to alleged failure to pay taxes on corporate benefits and perks. Moments before Weisselberg pleaded not guilty to grand larceny, lawyers on behalf of the Trump Organization pleaded not guilty to charges of scheme to defraud.

The 15-count indictment alleges Weisselberg and the Trump Organization cheated New York State and New York City out of taxes by conspiring to pay senior executives off the books from 2005 through this year. Prosecutors allege Weisselberg evaded taxes on $1.7 million in income that included apartment rent, car payments and school tuition. Weisselberg’s estranged, former daughter-in-law turned over several boxes of documents from her divorce to prosecutors. She claimed they show financial transactions from Weisselberg to her family for rent, cars and private school tuition.

Weisselberg, an employee of 48 years, operated as CFO of the Trump Organization as well as the Trump family’s personal bookkeeper. He also appeared on Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice.” Trump himself was not charged, but he isn’t in the clear. The grand jury will be sitting in November, so it’s possible he could still see indictments. The former president did say his company’s actions were “standard practice” and “in no way a crime.”
