Céline is Paris

Céline is Paris

Of course I know Céline Dion isn’t Paris, officially, but for the last several weeks, she’s become the symbol of the city – and I don’t think the city would object to this. Céline has brought so many people to Paris for her residency. She has brought music

Madonna: The Queen of MTV

Madonna carried the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, because for a show that has made its name by featuring the biggest names in music, it was light on major stars. It also didn’t help that the entire telecast was delayed 20 minutes due to a football game going into

In my post yesterday about Taylor Swift’s announcement that a new single called “Patient Zero” is incoming, I wondered whether or not the track would be “a bonus single from whatever new new deluxe deluxe version of a previous album she might be issuing”. Deluxes and variants are so
