Queen. We should have known that Romy “I tried to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland on my dad’s credit card because I wanted to have dinner with my camp friend” Mars is ambitious. Only a teenager so bold to risk it all to reunite with her bestie (and angering her parents, Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars) would also have the gall to enter the pop arena during an incredibly stuffed release season.
Solange is on her way to the show. Dance is in the Knowles genes. Look at Beyoncé paying tribute to disco and house music in all their wonderful permutations on her recent album Renaissance. Or her sister, Solange, who’s taking things in a different direction and composing a score for the New York City Ballet. The NYCB announced the commission in a press release August 15, adding that Solange’s piece was composed for chamber ensemble and will be choreographed by Gianna Reisen, who in 2017 became the youngest choreographer to work with the NYCB.
Who doesn’t love watching a fan meet their fave? Matt Rogers’s years-in-the-making encounter with his idol (no pun intended) happens on November 28’s episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. Rogers is promoting his Showtime special Have You Heard of Christmas?, but suburban moms could be forgiven for thinking he’s just a random major Clarkstan from the show marketing him as “Kelly Clarkson superfan Matt Rogers.” Rogers’s fandom is a fact Las Culturistas listeners know well, as does anyone who’s seen the 2018 clip of Rogers reacting to a different superfan meeting Clarkson at a taping of The View.
