Lauren Alaina shares two songs from upcoming EP “Unlocked”

Lauren Alaina announced her six-song EP entitled Unlocked, and shared two songs from the EP:  “A Walk In The Bar” (listen here) and “Hangovers,” out now.

The country music artist and Season 10 American Idol runner-up announced the news on her social media pages, writing on Instagram along with a minute-long video showing her time in the studio: “Sometimes you have to look all the way back to really move forward. My heart is completely Unlocked with this new project. This is just the beginning. 🔐.”  The Georgia native added: “I want you to know me. I have a million different nicknames. I’ve worn a lot of different hats. I’ve been a lot of things to different people. But, the truth is, I’ve always just been Lauren. The girl that grew up in a tiny house in Rossville, Georgia, 28 years ago — the person my big brother calls sister even today, the aunt my nieces and nephews call Lala when I run to scoop them up off my front porch in my hometown, the girl you met 13 years ago on a TV show, and the woman you are seeing today.”

Unlocked also contains a collaboration with Lainey Wilson on the song “Thicc As Thieves,” penned by Alaina with Rocky Block, Luke Bryan, Dallas Davidson, Jacob Durrett, and Parker Welling. According to a press release, Alaina says of the EP:  “It’s been 13 years since we first met, and until a couple of years ago, I don’t know that I ever slowed down for more than a day or two at a time. I spent more time with the people that matter most to me – my family, my fiancé, my friends – during that period than I had in years. This music comes from my heart and my hometown. I am who I am because of where and who I come from, and I’m more me today than I’ve ever been. I can’t wait to unlock this next chapter with you.”

Unlocked will drop on June 9; to pre-save, head here.

Benedict Cumberbatch’s home attacked by former chef wielding a knife

Benedict Cumberbatch’s London home was attacked and property was damaged by a former chef, Jack Bissell, wielding a fish knife while the actor, his wife Sophie Hunter and their three children were home at the time. A British court heard the case on May 10th involving Bissell, who was charged with kicking through the front garden gate of Cumberbatch’s home, pulling up a plant and throwing it at a garden wall, then spitting at the intercom and tearing it loose with a fish knife.

BBC News reported that Bissell pleaded guilty to criminal damage at the home located at Wood Green Crown Court on May 10th. The 35-year-old Bissell was fined £250, and given a three-year restraining order preventing him from going near Cumberbatch’s family and their residential area. It is not clear why Bissell targeted Cumberbatch and he offered no defense in court. Bissell has a previous conviction for theft, and in 2015 he was photographed being arrested during protests against military intervention in Syria in central London.

Hollywood Vampires forced to postpone tour after Johnny Depp suffers ankle fracture

The Hollywood Vampires have been forced to postpone their U.S. Tour after band member Johnny Depp suffered an ankle fracture.  Depp turned to social media to give his fans a health update, sharing that he’s under strict doctor’s orders and that medical professionals advised him to restrain from traveling and rest his ankle. The musician previously performed at Royal Albert Hall in England and made an appearance at Cannes Film Festival.

Said Depp: “My Dear Friends, I am sorry to say that I have fractured my ankle, which is a drag!!! It began as a hairline break, but somewhere between Cannes and the Royal Albert Hall, it got worse rather than better. Several medical professionals have strongly suggested I avoid any and all activity for the moment and so am sadly unable to travel at this time … To that end, the guys and I are very sorry to miss you in New Hampshire, Boston, and New York but fear not, I promise we will bring an amazing show to all of you in Europe and bring our absolute best to the East Coast later this summer and make it up to those who have paid for those shows!!!”

Depp’s message was also shared on the Hollywood Vampires social media account alongside the rescheduled dates. The group — comprised of Depp, Aerosmith’s Joe Perry, Alice Cooper, and Tommy Henriksen – will now visit the East Coast in late July, making stops in Boston, Massachusetts, on July 28, Manchester, New Hampshire, on July 29, and Bethel, New York, on July 30 at the Bethel Woods Center For The Arts.
