The Grammy nominations are out today, and for Latin music, it’s another year that sees language artists left out of most major categories. That’s a bummer because in 2023, it seemed briefly like the rides were turning when Bad Bunny’s massive LP Un Verano Sin Ti made history as the first Spanish-language album nominated for Album Of The Year.

Since then, though, most Latin artists have been relegated back to specific categories, like Best Latin Pop Album, Best Música Urbana Album, Best Latin Rock or Alternative, and Best Música Mexicana Album.

Let’s Make a Deal regularly features crazy moments as host Wayne Brady and contestants play a game for sweet prizes.

The show host is used to random incidents and reacting to them, including calling out The Price Is Right during a funny bit.

Sometimes, Wayne admits to “breaking the rules” when hosting the show by changing things.

In a recent game show episode, viewers saw Wayne laughing uncontrollably due to the mayhem that occurred on stage.

It was a game involving three contestants, all wanting to win a prize without complaining.

The highlights included a contestant’s pregnancy reveal, the host throwing props as audience members shielded themselves, and a contestant hurling a savage remark at another contestant.

The American Music Awards 50th anniversary special broke viewership records last week. The special featured performances from Green Day, Mariah Carey, Brad Paisley, Raye, and Stray Kids, among others, and marked a significant 54 percent increase in viewership since the awards show last aired in 2022.

The AMAs have been on a brief hiatus since 2022 when it found a new broadcast home on CBS following the end of a long-time contract with ABC. There was no ceremony in 2023, and the show is currently scheduled to return in May 2025 during Memorial Day weekend.

That’s a 54 percent increase over the previous edition of the AMAs, which last aired in 2022 on ABC. That marks the largest year-over-year growth of a music special or award show on TV this year. It also stands as the second-most-watched music awards show in the U.S. in 2024 and the most-watched entertainment program on CBS in October so far.

The special also was the most-watched entertainment program on Oct. 6, behind only the NFL. It also beat out other major sports coverage including the MLB Playoffs and NASCAR.

Dick Clark Productions also said that the special is also the most-streamed AMAs in the show’s history and has notched 65 million views across social media platforms since it aired.

The Girl Who Wasn’t Dead

Starring Lyndsy Fonseca, Emma Tremblay and Kyle Clark

Premieres October 5th at 8/7c.

Inspired by true events, The Girl Who Wasn’t Dead tells the story of 15-year-old Erica (Tremblay) who vanishes without a trace. Authorities believed Erica might be the victim of a local serial killer, but her mother, Carrie (Fonseca) refused to believe the worst. In an incredible turn of events,...

While Thursday night’s big finish at the Democratic Party’s quadrennial pep rally was a rousing speech by current Vice President and 2024 party nominee Kamala Harris, a great many people online had been led to believe that 32-time Grammy-winning recording artist Beyoncé would show up at the United Center in Chicago.

The rumor began on X, formerly Twitter, a website that used to have a fairly rigorous verification process before Elon Musk purchased it, with “insiders” saying that the final night would feature a “special guest” that would be even more of a shocker than Oprah Winfrey, who made an appearance earlier in the week. Then TMZ, an outlet that has a very good track record for being first with entertainment news, wrote that “Queen Bey will be the big surprise performer as VP Harris officially accepts the Democratic party’s nomination to run for president.”

When that failed to happen,...

The internet let out a collective sob when Beyoncé’s publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, shut down rumors that the 32-time Grammy winner would be performing at the Democratic National Convention.

“At home watching and anticipating the VP’s historic speech,” wrote Noel-Schure prior to Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Nominee, taking the stage on Thursday. “Focus on the win and register to vote. Do not report rumors. Focus.”

Her post was seen as a direct reference to rampant speculation that the Renaissance star would appear at the four-day long event.

A representative for Beyoncé says the singer will not attend the 2024 Democratic National Convention.

“Beyoncé was never scheduled to be there,” the Grammy-winning star’s rep tells The Hollywood Reporter. “The report of a performance is untrue.”

Rumors about the pop star attending and performing at this year’s DNC, celebrating Vice President Kamala Harris’ historic presidential nomination, have exploded online throughout the week.

On Wednesday, it was reported that Pink would be the headline act ahead of Harris’ speech. On Thursday, Pink — who performed “What About Us” with her daughter Willow — appeared to have moved up in the lineup, continuing to add fuel to the fire about a surprise guest coming later in the night.

Beyoncé’s presence was ultimately still felt in Chicago’s United Center arena, as her song “Freedom” ended up playing Harris both on and off the stage for her speech when she formally accepted...

Pink gave a special performance at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, sharing the spotlight with 12-year-old daughter Willow Sage Hart.

The two came together at Chicago’s United Center to sing a stirring duet of “What About Us,” a 2017 single from Pink’s Beautiful Trauma album.

Pink skipped the acrobatics of her typical show and instead delivered a heartfelt performance of her song “What About Us” Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The singer was joined by her daughter Willow Sage, who dueted the track with the singer.

Together, Pink, Willow, and their backup singers sang the track’s poignant verse: “We are searchlights, we can see in the dark/We are rockets, pointed up at the stars/We are billions of beautiful hearts/And you sold us down the river too far.

After July’s Republican National Convention attracted such luminaries as Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock and Amber Rose, this year’s Democratic National Convention is drawing arguably bigger stars like Oprah, Spike Lee, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Stevie Wonder.

This year’s DNC, celebrating Vice President Kamala Harris’ historic presidential nomination, was hosted by Tony Goldwyn, Ana Navarro, Mindy Kaling and Kerry Washington, with each star emceeing one night of the event. The four-day convention featured performances by Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Patti Labelle and other major musicians; surprise appearances by the likes of Oprah Winfrey, who gave a speech urging those who are registered as independent like herself to vote; a daytime panel moderated by Julia Louis-Dreyfus; and more.

Besides the noteworthy political figures who made an appearance at the DNC, including President Joe Biden and Harris herself, these are the recognizable names who have been spotted at events around the convention.

Oprah Winfrey’s surprise appearance at the Democratic National Convention, in which she made the case for Kamala Harris and against Donald Trump, certainly electrified the United Center, but one moment from the third evening stood out in particular.

That was when Tim Walz spoke about he and his wife’s long challenges with infertility, and then about his family, and his son Gus stood up and said, “That’s my Dad!” It quickly became one of the night’s viral moments.

For the third night in a row, the convention went into overtime in the Et, potentially losing the TV audience, but the campaign is suggesting that it may not matter all that much.

The convention has so far drawn a larger audience than the same time periods of the Republican National Convention.

“We’ve outpaced them every night so far this convention,” Harris campaign spokesman Michael Tyler said this morning.

The Chicks will perform at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, Rolling Stone has confirmed. Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire, and Emily Strayer will take the stage to give their rendition of the National Anthem.

The final evening of the convention, held in Chicago, is reported to feature Vice President Kamala Harris, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, and former Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords.

The Chicks are the latest country act to perform at the Convention this year, after Jason Isbell and Mickey Guyton...

With a lead-up that included speeches from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, his home state Sen. Amy Klobuchar and none other than Sheila E. and John Legend covering Prince, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz had a huge introduction at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, where he wholeheartedly accepted the party’s nomination for vice president on the ticket with Kamala Harris.

That was all before Ben Ingman, who grew up next to the governor, spoke of being coached by Walz with his middle school basketball team, then introduced the high school football team he famously coaches in Minnesota and invited them onto the stage. The wind-up to the potential VP’s stage appearance reached a fever pitch with an ad featuring his wife, First Lady of Minnesota Gwen Walz, who shared her husband’s story, beginning with his roots in Nebraska and then enlisting in the Army National Guard.

The spot aired in...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president on Wednesday night by sharing the deeply personal story of his journey into politics, in a speech heavy in football references and his Midwestern roots.

“I was a fortysomething high school teacher with little kids, zero political experience and no money running in a deep red district. But you know what? Never underestimate a public school teacher,” he told the crowd at Chicago’s United Center to cap the third night of the Democratic National Convention.

Walz was a virtual unknown on the national stage before Kamala Harris selected him as her running mate earlier this month, playing up his former career as a high school teacher and coach of a football team that won the state championship.

His speech was preceded by a reunion of the team, along with a dose of Minnesota, as John Legend and Sheila E....

John Legend welcomed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention, performing a song by one of Minnesota’s greatest artists: Prince. Ahead of Walz’s acceptance as the party’s vice presidential nominee, Legend honored the Gopher state, where Walz coached high school football before becoming governor. (Legend previously participated in a Prince tribute at the 2020 Grammys, with a performance of Prince-penned Sinead O’Connor hit “Nothing Compares 2 U.”)

Together with Sheila E., Legend sang “Let’s Go Crazy” — the 1984 single by Prince and The Revolution, from the album Purple Rain.

Pink is set to perform at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, ahead of Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech, The Associated Press reported.

The singer rounds out the lineup of performers who took the stage at Chicago’s United Arena this week, including Lil Jon, Stevie Wonder, Maren Morris and John Legend.

The performance will mark Pink’s first major political performance. The “Just Give Me a Reason” artist has also been an outspoken activist of women’s rights. In 2022, she told her fans who supported the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, “Never fucking listen to my music again. And also fuck right off.”

On night three, Legend and Sheila E. paid tribute to vice presidential candidate Tim Walz’s home state of Minnesota by performing Prince’s song “Let’s Go Crazy.” The late icon was born in Minneapolis.

Pink will headline the final night of performances at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Deadline has confirmed with sources close to the convention.

The singer is expected to perform just before Vice President Kamala Harris takes the stage to deliver her acceptance speech. Additional performances of what will be the fourth and final day of the convention have not yet been released.

Deadline exclusively reported earlier this week that Taylor Swift, despite much online speculation, will not perform at the convention, final night or otherwise.

Tonight’s line-up of performers include John Legend and Sheila E. in a tribute to Prince, Minnesota’s beloved musical son.

Also scheduled for tonight are country singer Maren Morris and Motown icon Stevie Wonder.

John Legend and Sheila E. were spotted in rehearsals at the United Center, in advance of the third night of the Democratic National Convention.

They will lead a tribute to Prince in advance of a speech by vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota.

They also are the latest performers at the convention, with Jason Isbell and Mickey Guyton on Monday and Patti Labelle on Tuesday.

Convention officials have yet to unveil the order of the lineup for the evening, but former President Bill Clinton, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-pa) also will speak.

Mindy Kaling will emcee the evening.

The third annual Women’s Rock Fantasy Camp has been set for December 5th through the 8th in Los Angeles.

Depending on the band, campers will jam and learn iconic songs such as Heart’s “Crazy on You” (Nancy Wilson), The Runaways’ “Cherry Bomb” (Lita Ford), Prince’s “Purple Rain” (Sheila E.), and Alice Cooper’s “No More Mr. Nice Guy” (Nita Strauss), among many more.

Musician Sheila E. was denied access to Paisley Park, the late Prince’s iconic studio and residence, as she attempted to celebrate what would have been the music legend’s 66th birthday on June 7.

Sheila E., a former protégée and collaborator of Prince, took to social media to express her heartbreak over the incident. In a video shared on Instagram, she revealed that she had traveled to Paisley Park in Minneapolis to commemorate Prince’s birthday but was not allowed to enter the studio, do a live video or take a picture there.

“I went in to celebrate him and wanted to go into the studio and do a live video. I took a picture, and they said, ‘No,'” Sheila E. said in the video. “My heart’s broke. I can’t even walk into Paisley. That’s kind of messed up.”

In response, Paisley Park, which now serves...

“If you’re lost, you can look and you will find me / Time after time / If you fall, I will catch you, I’ll be waiting / Time after time.”

Those are some of the lyrics from Cyndi Lauper’s iconic song “Time After Time.” Co-written by Lauper and Rob Hyman, it was the second single from the singer’s debut album, “She’s So Unusual.” And 40 years ago this month, “Time After Time” became her first number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

Lauper had actually come very close to topping the chart earlier that year. Her debut single, “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” made it to number-two in March 1984.

The soulful “Time After Time” knocked “Let’s Hear It for the Boy” by Deniece Williams from the Billboard top spot. “Time After Time” would remain there for a second week, but its “Time” was up when Duran Duran...
