Weekend box office news… The Kardashian at Disney… Britney Spears scared to have a baby… Rihanna spotted in Barbados… and Surprises at Coachella

Listen to “Showbiz – Apr 18, 2022” on Spreaker.

 

“Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” debuted in first place over the weekend with $43M. This is the eleventh of the “Wizarding World” movies and the lowest opening of all of them. “Sonic 2” was second with $30M, followed by “The Lost City” with $6.5M. “Everything Everywhere All at Once” was fourth with $6.1M and we’re all shocked that “Father Stu” opened in fifth with only $5.7M because we love Mark Wahlberg and we loved his movie.

Last week we told you how Khloe Kardashian got busted for photoshopping her daughter True’s face over her niece Stormi’s face when Stormi and Chicago went to Disneyland. But that’s not the only thing people were upset about. Last week, Kim and Khloe took some of the kids to Disneyland to celebrate True’s 4th birthday. Someone posted a video online that shows the Kardashians not only went straight to the front of the line of the teacups, they didn’t allow any other guests to ride at the same time. And the Kardashians only took up 3 of the 18 teacups! People had a fit on social media, saying that when Cardi B took Kulture to the park, she let others ride the teacups at the same time.

Britney Spears is sharing some of her fears about having another baby. She posted a black-and-white image from the music video “Someday (I Will Understand)” of her cradling her baby bump during her first pregnancy with Sean Preston. She wrote a long caption — as she tends to do — but deleted it just a short time after posting. She said, “My first child Preston ❤️👶🏼 !!! Oh time … what a beautiful mystery !!! I still have this gown in my closet 16 years later 🤰🏼 !!! Geez I’m getting old !!! NOOO I’m not ready to shop in old lady stores 🙈 The movie 🎥 ‘This is 40’ is literally the best movie EVER !!! This was a time in my life when if someone was to even mention me being locked in a home 🏠 … being seen naked every day when I changed like some sort of criminal … my guards would literally put the devil or God himself to the ground in literally a split of two seconds !!! So yes I’m scared to have a baby 🤰🏼in this world 🌎 especially in America where they did 4 documentaries with out me in them 🙅🏼‍♀️ and telling my story 🙎🏼‍♀️ !!! Yet … THAT helped end the conservatorship !!! HMMM 🤔 … Oh well 🤷🏼‍♀️… I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many documentaries on someone unless they are dead !!! I mean was that even allowed 🧐🤨 ???? Again OH WELL 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ it’s perspective you know ??? Today my perspective is self care with some tea 🍵 … to try @KateHudson’s new INBLOOM line 😌 … and put the same gown on 😎👗I wore with my first child 16 years ago !!! Literally a split of two seconds 😳 !! HAPPY EASTER 🐣 🐇🐰 !!!”

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are in Barbados. She looks really far along in her pregnancy and I’m wondering if she’s going to stay in her home country there until she gives birth…Anyway, Rihanna said she has no intention of wearing maternity clothes throughout this pregnancy and she meant it. She was rocking 6” heels!!! HOW???? Their getaway comes on the heels of a nasty rumor that A$AP cheated on Rihanna with a Fenty shoe designer named Amina Mauddi. Amina came out with a statement saying, “I’ve always believed that an unfounded lie spread on social media doesn’t deserve any response or clarification, especially one that is so vile. I initially assumed that this fake gossip — fabricated with such malicious intent — would not be taken seriously. However in the last 24 hr I’ve been reminded that we live in a society that is so quick to speak on topics regardless of factual basis and that nothing is off limits.” So she’s saying the affair never happened. And now the blogger who first posted the rumor that Rihanna and A$AP had broken up is says he’s sorry. Louis Pisano tweeted, “Last night I made a dumb decision to tweet some information I had received. I’m not going to talk about sources, blame others for a discussion that was started, etc because at the end of the day I made the decision to draft that tweet, press send and put that out with my name on it. I’d like to formally apologize to all parties I involved with my actions and for my reckless tweets. I have no excuse for it, I’ve been way too wrapped up in Twitter drama and unfortunately leaned into being messy as a brand which is something going forward I am going to move away from.”

The first weekend of Coachella is in the books. On Friday, about 100K people with their sweaty flesh pressed together tried to steal a peak at Harry Styles in his sequined, bare-chested jumpsuit. In his 80-minute set, he performed his new single “As It Was” and two other songs, “Boyfriends” and “Late Night Talking” from his third album “Harry’s House,” which comes out May 20. His surprise guest was Shania Twain. They sang her hits “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” and “You’re Still the One.” Harry said of Shania, “I have to tell you, in the car with my mother as a child, this lady taught me to sing. She also taught me that men are trash. But to you (Shania), for the memories you gave me with my mother, I will be forever grateful.” On Saturday, 20-year-old Billie Eilish made history as the youngest artist to ever headline Coachella. And on Sunday, Doja Cat wrapped up her set by announcing that Taco Bell is bringing back its Mexican pizza. Then The Weeknd closed the weekend, but scolded the crowd for being low energy. He asked, “Are you trying to end the night??”
