Ariel Limited Edition Doll… Doja Cat calls her albums “cash-grabs”… Britney Spears’ tell-all memoir update… Tom Cruise is interested in Shakira… and Morgan Wallen has postponed the rest of his tour

Listen to “Showbiz – May 10, 2023” on Spreaker.

To celebrate the new live action remake of “The Little Mermaid,” Disney has released a limited edition Ariel doll. She’s a fully poseable, 17” doll with flowing red hair, rooted eyelashes, and a sequined mermaid tail. She comes with a dinglehopper, a spyglass, a net shoulder bag, a display stand and a certificate of authenticity. And you can get all of that for $149.99! When Halle Bailey saw the doll for the first time, she cried. She was blown away by how much the doll looks like her, right down to the little mole above her left eyebrow. If you’re thinking about adding this doll to your collection, you better make up your mind quick. There are only 5200 of these limited edition Ariel dolls available on Disney’s website. By the way, “The Little Mermaid” comes out May 26.

Doja Cat is basically calling us all fools. She tweeted last night, “Planet her and hot pink were cash-grabs and y’all fell for it. Now I can go disappear somewhere and touch grass with my loved ones on an island while y’all weep for mediocre pop.” So….is the third album Doja’s been working on a cash grab or what she might consider a true reflection of her art? She followed up that insulting tweet with, “Its not called hEllMoUth either its called ‘First of All’ and yes I’m announcing the album title right now.”

Doja Cat calls her albums ‘Hot Pink’ and ‘Planet Her’ “cash-grabs” in new tweet:

Yesterday we heard that a couple A-listers had their lawyers send strongly worded legal letters to Simon & Schuster over their concerns about Britney Spears’ upcoming tell-all memoir. Now “The Sun” believes they’ve figured out who at least one of those A-listers is. Sources claim Britney talks about her very brief fling with Colin Farrell in 2003, after her ugly breakup with Justin Timberlake. The source claims that after they hooked up, Colin sent Britney a bumper sticker that said, “Honk If You’ve Slept With Colin Farrell.” At the time, Colin was the hottest young actor in Hollywood and he was all about having fun, but the source said Britney was shocked that he treated their hookup like a joke. The source said, “When then car sticker came through, she was deeply annoyed and also angered. She hated the fact that some people were laughing at her.” Colin reportedly tried to apologize, but we’ll have to read if she forgave him or not…..eventually. The book release is being stalled until this legal stuff can be sorted out.

A bunch of celebrity racing fans headed to Miami over the weekend for the Formula 1 Grand Prix, including Tom Cruise. While mixing and mingling in VIP, Tom crossed paths with Shakira and he was smitten. Who wouldn’t be! A source told Page Six that Tom is “extremely interested in pursuing her,” and sent flowers to her home afterward. After her ugly breakup with Girard Piqué, the source said, “Shakira needs a soft pillow to fall on, and that could be Tom.” The source said Tom not only felt chemistry between the two of them, he also likes that she’s not taller than he is! Tom is only 5’7” and Shakira is 5’2”.

After losing his voice forced him to cancel his show in Oxford, Mississippi, Morgan Wallen took 10 days off to rest his voice. But when he got back on stage in Florida, Morgan re-injured his vocal cords, and doctors diagnosed him with vocal fold trauma. The prescription? Six weeks of complete vocal rest. In other words, as White Cheddar says, “NO TALKING.” But before he took his vow of silence, doctors gave Morgan permission to break the news to his fans. Morgan said, “(The doctors) told me that if I do this the right way, that I’ll get back to 100 percent. And they also said that if I don’t listen and I keep singing then I permanently damage my voice. So for the longevity of my career, this is just the choice I have to make…” Morgan’s team is already working on rescheduling tour dates and he promised to keep everyone updated. But not only does this mean Morgan’s concerts are canceled for the next 6 weeks, he’s also going to miss the ACM Awards tomorrow night.
