Britney Spears Thanks LGBTQ+ Community For ‘Best Nights of My Life’ in Pride Month Shout-Out
Britney Spears has a very important message for her LGBTQ+ fans during Pride Month: “thank you.” The singer posted a public service announcement video on Tuesday (June 23) paying homage to one of her most fervent fan groups. “Happy Pride Month!!!!,” she wrote along with four rainbow emoji. “I love my LGBTQ+ fans so much… you all bring me so much joy and I am proud to support you.”
Wearing a black lacy dress and standing with her hand on her hip, Britney directly addresses all her friends “at the LGBTQ community” in the 17-second clip, wishing them a happy Pride Month. “You guys bring so much heart, passion, and articulate everything you do. Because of you I’ve had the best nights of my life. I love you so much it hurts.”
Just as the video ends, a man off camera yells “Go LGBTQ!,” prompting a mortified Spears to respond, “Baby! Be quiet!” and throw up her hands in mock annoyance.
Watch Britney’s Pride Month video below.
Happy Pride Month !!!! I love my LGBTQ+ fans so much …. you all bring me so much joy and I am proud to support you

Selena Gomez Teams With Plus1 to Launch Black Equality Fund: ‘Everyone Needs to Have Their Voices Heard’
Selena Gomez has teamed with PLUS1 to launch the Black Equality Fund, to “drive money and awareness to those who are at the forefront of the movement fighting for change.” Joining with the non-profit that has been helping artists raise funds for causes close to their hearts since 2014, Gomez tweeted that “it’s all of our responsibility to fight for equality & justice for the Black community. Silence isn’t an option, let’s all join this fight for equality.”
All donations raised as part of the effort will go to 10 organizations: TGI Justice Project, Black Futures Lab, Fair Count, African American Policy Forum, BLDPWR, Color of Change, Know Your Rights Camp, BU Center for Antiracist Research, Equal Justice Initiative and the Movement for Black Lives. “Black Lives Matter,” Gomez writes on the Black Equality Fund’s site. “Everyone needs to have their voices heard and we can do that by VOTING, as well as lending our time, effort and (if able) donations to fight for equality, equity and justice for the black community and other marginalized communities. Join me!“
Last Thursday, Gomez — who is preparing to release a remix of Trevor Daniel’s “Past Life” on Friday (June 26) — expressed gratitude to the Black leaders who took over her Instagram page for the past two weeks. “I want to thank all of the amazing people that took the time to speak to us directly,” Gomez began her note, which included photos of the dozen individuals. “I am blown away with your knowledge, eagerness to teach and commitment to ensuring Black voices are not silenced. Educating ourselves is the first step if we hope to make any progress in bringing an end to systemic racism.”
Earlier this month, amid nationwide protests following the killing of George Floyd, Gomez handed over her Instagram account to leaders in the Black community including rapper Killer Mike, Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza, activist Ruby Bridges, and former Georgia gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams.

Brendon Urie Has a Simple Request For Pres. Trump: ‘Stop Playing My Song’
Panic! at the Disco frontman Brendon Urie has joined the list of artists asking Donald Trump to stop playing their music at his rallies, requesting that “High Hopes” be removed from the President’s playlist. Urie posted his plea on Twitter on Tuesday night (June 23), addressing a note to the Trump campaign after “Hopes” was reportedly blasted at the half-empty arena during last weekend’s Tulsa rally.
“Dear Trump Campaign, F–k you. You’re not invited. Stop playing my song,” Urie wrote. “No thanks.” Later in the thread, Urie added, “Dear Everyone Else, Donald Trump represents nothing we stand for. The highest hope we have is voting this monster out in November,” followed by a link to the HeadCount site encouraging voter registration.
Urie’s four-letter plea comes on the heels of action from Tom Petty’s family, which issued a statement shortly after the heavily hyped, poorly attended event, slamming Trump for playing the late rocker’s “I Won’t Back Down” in Tulsa, which was accompanied by a cease-and-desist notice.
Earlier this year, R.E.M. said they were exploring “all legal avenues” to get Trump to stop playing “Everybody Hurts” and “Losing My Religion” at his campaign events.

Examining COVID-19’s Impact on Britain’s Live and Recorded Music Industries
Consumers used to spend lots of money on live music tickets. But now that there are virtually no concerts to see, where is that money going?
That’s the multibillion pound question tormenting artists, promoters, agents and record labels — and the answer requires understanding the complicated relationship between fan spending on live music and recorded music. It also helps to know what consumers were spending on music before the crisis struck — and while it’s easy enough to track their spending on streaming services, vinyl and CDs, it’s been far more challenging to know what they were spending on concerts each year because there’s no central trade body monitoring it.
So to figure it out, I worked with the British performing right organization PRS for Music (the equivalent of ASCAP and BMI), which licenses publishing rights to live events so that its songwriter members can collect performance royalties when their songs are played at concerts and festivals. Its data on the British market, combined with data on recorded-music spending published yearly by the U.K.’s Entertainment Retailers Association, offers a window into how consumers around the world make their music investments and whether they consider concerts and recorded music substitute or complementary goods.
In 2019, British gig-goers spent £1.7 billion on concert tickets, according to my analysis of PRS’s collection data — a fifth more than the £1.4 billion consumers spent on recorded music last year. This spend captures only the primary ticketing market — what’s commonly known as the ‘face value’ — along with value-added tax (VAT) and booking fees that make up the final price. Combined, British music fans spent a total of £3.1 billion on music in 2019.
On top of the face value is the secondary market activity, which can be extrapolated using public data from eBay’s 2019 filings on StubHub prior to the company being sold to Viagogo earlier this year. They stated that 5% of their turnover was from the U.K., while Britain’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) reckons the company makes up 40% of all U.K. secondary ticketing. Multiply that through, you have a prudent estimate of £136 million in additional spend on secondary ticketing. (FanFair Alliance put forward a total secondary market value of £1 billion, suggesting music’s share could be much higher).
On top of primary and secondary ticketing, consumer spend on “ancillary revenues” (from sales of merch and drinks, etc.) can flow through to the music industry, as the bar can often help pay for the band. These are harder to estimate, but Mintel, a research consultancy, reckons for every pound that was spent on the ticket, a further £36 would flow through to the industry through ancillary spend. This would take the total spend on live music to almost £2.5 billion.
The journey that live and recorded music have been on since the millennium is akin to two ships passing each other in the night. For the first decade after the millennium, live music exploded as recorded music imploded: consumers went to see more concerts (at ever higher ticket prices) perhaps because they were downloading music for free.
But then in 2014, both ships began sailing in the same direction: up!
Just as paid streaming took off in the U.K., so too did live music (again) — entering a second wave of growth. By 2019, spend on recorded music, driven by paid streaming, had grown by 40% from 2014 — only to be outpaced by live music which had ballooned by 50%.
The good news doesn’t end there.
We can stack both components of the British music industry on top of one another and measure total spend as a share of disposable income (the red line plotted on the right hand scale). Since both sectors took off in 2014, gross disposable income (the size of our wallet) has increased by 20% whereas music’s share of wallet has increased by 25%.
Consumers have more money to spend and are spending more of it on music.
This revelation leads to temptation: to explore the causes and consequences of the cross pollination between paid streamers and concert goers. Did the scale of Spotify’s success in the U.K. result in more discovery of new bands, and therefore more concert goers?
That’s where we need to press pause and curb our enthusiasm. The impact of the COVID-19 is likely to send both ships in different directions again.
The ship that is recorded music is relatively insulated and stable. As recently as week 23, the absolute number of audio streams in the U.K. reported an all time record high of 2.714 billion [BPI, Official Charts Company], adding weight to the view that streaming is a “stay at home” stock.
Live music, by contrast, has all but imploded. Tours and festivals have been canceled and the prospect of stockpiling looms large as the sector tries to plot a way out of its crisis. The live music recession will be compounded by the contagion in the “gig economy” that supports it. That recovery may be disrupted by social distancing, which means fewer new events, of smaller capacities with increased costs for an extended period.
We can model out the potential impact of COVID-19 on an artist’s income by using a simplified 80/20 rule. For live music, we strip out fees and taxes from the face value of the ticket and give the artist 80% of what’s remaining. For recorded music we take the label’s own wholesale value of music and give the artist 20%.
Now, if we assume that recorded music suffers a setback of 20%, capturing the temporary closure of brick-and-mortar stores being partially off-set by the robustness of paid streaming, and then factor in a 80% collapse of live music revenues (allowing for some concerts at the start and end of the year), we can sketch out what this might mean for U.K. artist income: a collapse of 70%.
So, now that consumers have less money but no concerts to spend it on, where does that surplus go? Are consumers saving it up in anticipation of their favorite acts returning to the stage? Or are some spending instead on subscription streaming, if they haven’t already signed up? Or are they spending it on basics that have nothing to do with music as the crisis persists?
A clue can be found in the way that concerts and festivals have been stockpiled — as they’ve been delayed, not canceled, meaning there’s no reason to refund the ticket. From a cash flow perspective, that makes all existing ticketing revenues for this year largely unchanged, but no “on the night” spend to draw from; whereas next year will struggle to sell new tickets but win back the customers’ night-of spend. Expect bar prices to be increased next year.
While there’s no such thing as an average artist, an average pay cut of 70% raises questions of survival for many acts and their teams. Live music income was bigger and distributed among the few, while recorded music income was smaller and distributed amongst the many. As streaming has many more mouths to feed, and there’s nothing else to feed them with, expect more attention on the model’s “trickle down” economics.
To quote the soul singer William DeVaughn, “Just be thankful for what you got.” Live music may have been all but erased due to the virus, but recorded music has shown to be resilient thanks to subscription streaming, which makes up almost three quarters of all recorded-music spend.
Had this crisis hit when we went shopping for records at stores like Tower Records, one shudders to think if there would be anything left.

'Toy Story 3' Turns Ten Today: Here Are Our Favorite Moments From The Film
Believe it or not, the iconic (and sad) third installment of Toy Story turns ten today. In honor of the anniversary, we're taking a look back at our top five favorite moments from the hit animated film.
We're Bustin' On Out Of Here!
The toys are tuly masters at staying still or hiding while the daycare children are playing, and then coming to life when the children are distracted. Sneaking around really does have its perks. Honestly, can you blame them? Children at that age can be crazy sometimes. Woody knows this firsthand when he finds out through Chatter Telephone that children can reach a whole new level of crazy when toys are around - and when he finds out that the children are out to get his friends, Woody and Chatter Telephone form an alliance to save themselves from deep trouble.
It's Playtime!
Buzz, Rex, Hamm, Slinky Dog and the gang are eager to get played with - but it doesn't go to plan. The daycare children really have their way with them. Can we talk about the moment where the two little girls put glitter and pasta on Hamm? That is true creativity. Or the moment that the girl in the brown braids dips Jessie the cowgirl in green paint and manages to use her as a paintbrush? These children are totally artists in the making.
Adventures With Barbie And Ken
Barbie and Ken may be known as the ultimate couple goals, but it is not until she rips his favorite vintage jacket along with his favorite outfits that we get to see her true sassy side when she calls out Ken for his antics. You cannot help but to get up and dance as Ken dances to "Le Freak" by Chic while showing off some of his fancy outfits. Plus Barbie's reactions when Ken shows off his outfits are the definition of GOLDEN and we can't help but adore her cuteness along with her outspoken personality.
Playtime's Over, Folks
First off, can we talk about how HUGE Big Baby is? That is one huge toy - he's almost equivalent to the size of a sumo wrestler. There a lot of great things about this scene - Rex and Hamm fool Buzz into thinking that he can be saved (but Buzz quickly outsmarts them by getting out of the box himself). Also, Buzz turning into a whole new person after he quickly masters the Spanish language. In an unlikely twist of events, Buzz falls in love with Jessie at first sight and quickly charms her with his compliments; it is not until Big Baby notices the gang's intentions and tries to go after them that things take a sour turn. Thanks to the quick thinking of Woody and the gang, Big Baby goes back to the playground where he belongs - and the toys continue their mission of saving themselves (and each other) from Sunnyside Daycare. Talk about #friendshipgoals, right?
So Long, Partner
You can not tell me you watched this scene and didn't cry! Andy passes on a big part of his childhood to Bonnie, and it's so cute how Bonnie's face lights up when she receives the toys - especially Woody. But is there really a snake in Woody's boot? Nevertheless, the blossoming friendship between Andy and Bonnie is so adorable - look at how much they love the toys! Woody and the gang say "So long, partner." to Andy as he embarks on a new life, and we finally see the whole gang back together again - just like it should be.

Annie Lennox Gathers Stars For Circle Music Auction To Benefit Women Impacted By COVID-19
Annie Lennox enlisted the help of fellow musicians Sting, Jessie J, Taylor Swift, Jessie Ware and more to benefit women disproportionately affected by the coronavirus outbreak.
Lennox took to Twitter to announce the auction, encouraging her followers to bid on items.
The Circle also discussed the exciting auction on their Twitter account. Lennox founded the women empowerment charity in 2008. Their website states the charity's goals as:
"The Circle is inspired by the notion that when women come together and organize, they can be a powerful force for change.

All funds from the auction will go straight to The Circle's "The Women and Girls Solidarity Fund," which provides safe housing for women and girls along with hygiene packages.
Bidders can bid on private performances from artists like Hozier, who also promoted the campaign through Twitter. Other items being auctioned include a silk dress worn by Lennox, a signed guitar from Taylor Swift, and a signed outfit worn by Madison Beer for her "Good in Goodbye" video shoot.
The auction is currently live on the platform Charity Stars and bidding ends on July 10.
