Myles Smith's Breakthrough Hit ‘Stargazing' Born From Beers, Tacos and Songwriting with Friends
It all started with a trip to Malibu, California, for Myles Smith and his best friends and co-collaborators, Jesse Fink and Peter Fenn. They were looking to escape the city and write some songs together. About five days in—and 30 songs later—Smith says, 'we'd drank way too many beers and had way too many tacos and feelin' like trash.'
And yet, that's where the breakthrough happened.

It was then that they decided to write a song without trying to be clever or use double entendres. They would just express an emotion for what it is. That's when they came up with Stargazing.
Performing that song live at the BRITs was a major highlight for him. 'So surreal you know?' Smith says. 'Especially in Britain when you grow up you watch the BRITs every single year and as a musician, like it's probably like the JUNOS over here (Canada) you know? You just can't wait to get to that level and stage of your career…for me it's something that will live in my mind forever.'

‘It's exciting to have worked ourselves back': Oilers set for Stanley Cup rematch with Panthers
Connor McDavid stood along the boards and waited for his teammates. The Oilers had given everything in the Stanley Cup final. McDavid rewrote the NHL's playoff record book with a jaw-dropping performance as part of a memorable post-season run that ultimately ended in Florida's sweltering heat inside Amerant Bank Arena. The gutsy effort — Edmonton forced Game 7 with a trio of victories after trailing the title series 3-0 — wasn't enough. Wiser and more balanced almost 12 months on, McDavid and Co. are hoping for a different closing chapter with the same opponent. The Oilers open this year's best-of-seven showcase against the Panthers on Wednesday at Rogers Place as a calmer, more confident, grounded bunch. Edmonton rode a roller-coaster of emotion to last year's final. After a horrendous start to the regular season that resulted in a coaching change, the club went down 3-2 in the second round and 2-1 in the Western Conference final before surging to victory. Story continues below advertisement This version trailed the Los Angeles Kings 2-0 in the opening round and has barely looked back since. The Oilers, who are 12-2 over their last 14 contests, won four straight to take that series before disposing of the Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars in five games apiece. 1:57 Edmonton Oilers advance to Stanley Cup Finals 'Just keep giving yourselves opportunities to be in this position,' McDavid said Tuesday. 'Keep giving yourself chances to win, and eventually it happens. We've done that. We've put ourselves in another good spot. 'Learned a lot of lessons last year in that month that we can use this year.' Last year's playoff push saw McDavid register 42 points — the most ever by a player in a single post-season not named Wayne Gretzky or Mario Lemieux — while his 34 assists were also a record. Story continues below advertisement 'Winning in the playoffs takes everything you've got,' said McDavid, whose interview station at NHL media day was situated not far from a picture of Florida winger Matthew Tkachuk hoisting the Cup. 'We're in the last series, and it takes even more … they can be draining physically and emotionally, but it's supposed to be.' The Oilers superstar captain and his partner-in-crime, fellow stud centre Leon Draisaitl, have again been excellent this spring, but Edmonton possesses a more balanced attack, with goals from no fewer than 19 different players on the way to the final.

'The experience of having been through the travel, the media attention, knowing what it's all about, knowing the details that go into a game. 'It's exciting to have worked ourselves back into the situation.' Story continues below advertisement View image in full screen Edmonton Oilers centre Leon Draisaitl speaks to reporters on June 3, 2025. Global News Edmonton is also relatively healthy, save for grinding, heart-and-soul forward Zach Hyman's upper-body injury suffered against Dallas that likely ended his campaign. Top-six winger Evander Kane was ready in time for the playoffs after missing the entire regular season with abdominal surgery, while minute-crunching defenceman Mattias Ekholm returned to the lineup in Game 5 last round following a long absence due to a lower-body issue. 'We're more patient and more trusting in our game,' Draisaitl said. 'We seem to have an understanding of when to pounce and when to do the right moves and make the right plays, and the plays that are needed in certain moments.' Stuart Skinner has done the job in goal for the Oilers after briefly losing the crease to backup Calvin Pickard for a second straight playoffs, for a group that moves the puck quicker compared to last season. Story continues below advertisement 'There's definitely more of a sense of calm,' said defenceman Darnell Nurse. 'It's definitely a different feel within the group, knowing how much work has to come. When you go through it the first time, there's a heightened level of excitement, a heightened level of everything. 'We're focused on the moment. Our group definitely has little bit of a different mindset.' The Panthers, meanwhile, are in the final for the third straight June. They disposed of the Tampa Bay Lightning in five games, the Toronto Maple Leafs in seven despite falling behind 2-0, and the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1. Led by captain Aleksander Barkov, who won his third Selke Trophy as the NHL's top defensive forward this week, and always-quotable head coach Paul Maurice, Florida plays a hard forechecking style that wears down opposing defence corps. Story continues below advertisement A talented, tough-as-nails stable of forwards that includes Tkachuk, Sam Bennett and Sam Reinhart added Brad Marchand at the trade deadline, and the former Boston Bruins captain has embraced life alongside his former Atlantic Division rivals. Apart from winning for themselves, their teammates, fans and city, the Oilers have the extra burden — like it or not — of Canada's Cup drought that stretches all the way back to Montreal's victory in 1993. Edmonton lost in seven games in 2006 before also going the distance last year, while Vancouver (1994, 2011), Calgary (2004), Ottawa (2007) and Montreal (2021) also came up short at the final hurdle. McDavid said his team is better prepared for the emotions of the final a second time around. 'It can feel like it's larger than it is,' he said. 'At the end of the day, it's another series. We're playing another great team. You've got to beat them before anything else happens. They have our complete focus. All of our energy is in going into beating the Florida Panthers.

Hotel security says Diddy feared 2016 hotel assault video would ‘ruin him'
NOTE: The following article contains disturbing details and video footage. Please read at your own discretion. Sean 'Diddy' Combs told a former Los Angeles hotel guard it would ruin his career if a security video of the hip-hop mogul kicking and dragging his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016 were made public, the security specialist testified Tuesday at Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial. Eddy Garcia, 33, testified to a jury that Combs made the comment repeatedly in March 2016, soon after the attack, as he tried to buy what he hoped was the only copy of the video. Prosecutors have made the footage from the Intercontinental Hotel a centrepiece of evidence against the Bad Boy Records founder, saying it supports the claims of three women, including Ventura, who allege Combs abused them sexually and physically over the past two decades. They also say Combs' persistent efforts to hush up the episode fit into allegations that he used threats and his fortune and fame to get what he wanted. Story continues below advertisement 3:11 Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial: Prosecutors release 2016 hotel assault video Combs has pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of an indictment accusing him of a pattern of abuse toward Ventura and others. Day 15 After the attack, Garcia said, he spoke several times to Combs' chief-of-staff, Kristina Khorram, telling her he couldn't show her the recording but 'off the record, it's bad.' Garcia, who is testifying under an immunity order, said during one phone call she put a 'very nervous' sounding Combs on the phone. He 'was just saying he had a little too much to drink' and that, as Garcia surely knows, 'with women, one thing leads to another and if this got out it would ruin him.' 'He was talking really fast, a lot of stuttering,' Garcia added. Story continues below advertisement In the evening, Garcia said, he became nervous and scared when Khorram called him at home on his cellphone — a number he had not provided — and put Combs on. 'He stated that I sounded like a good guy,' Garcia testified, adding that Combs again said 'something like this could ruin him.' 'He was concerned that this video would get out and that it would ruin his career,' Garcia told the court. When he told Combs he didn't have access to the server to obtain the video footage, Combs said he believed Garcia could make it happen and that 'he would take care of me,' which Garcia said he took 'to mean financially.' Garcia said he checked with his boss and was told he'd sell the video to Combs for US$50,000. When he told Combs, he said the music producer 'sounded excited.' 'He referred to me as 'Eddy my angel,'' Garcia said, adding that Combs told him: 'I knew you could help. I knew you could do it.'

Sign up for breaking National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy Within two days of Combs' attack on Ventura, Garcia delivered a storage device containing the footage to Combs, who paid him $100,000 in cash — feeding bills through a money counter and putting them in a brown paper bag. Story continues below advertisement Garcia signed a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement (NDA), shown in court, that required him to pay $1 million if he breached the deal. At the time, he said, he was making $10.50 an hour working hotel security. Garcia said he signed a declaration swearing that, under the penalty of perjury, there was no other copy of the video. 'He said it had to be the only copy and that he didn't want it getting out and if I was sure nothing was on the cloud,' Garcia said. 3:49 Diddy trial: Ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura fought what 'only the demon himself could have done' He said he signed the papers in an office building with Combs' bodyguard and Khorram present. Garcia said he didn't fully read the documents, explaining that he was nervous and 'the goal was to get out of there as soon as possible.' After signing, he said, Combs asked him what he planned to do with the money and advised him not to make any big purchases. Garcia said he took that to mean he shouldn't do anything that would draw attention. Story continues below advertisement Garcia said he gave $50,000 to his boss, who had talked about selling the video for profit before Combs intervened, and $20,000 to another security officer. He pocketed $30,000 and used some of it to purchase a used car, he said. He used cash and, avoiding a further paper trail, never put the money in the bank, he said. A few weeks later, Garcia said, Combs called him and asked if anyone had inquired about the video. Garcia said no, recounting Combs' ebullient greeting: 'Happy Easter. Eddy, my angel. God is good. God put you in my way for a reason.' Garcia said that on the call, he asked Combs if the rapper might have future work for him, and Combs sounded receptive. But Combs never responded to his later inquiries, the witness said. Ex-hotel employee spoke with former colleagues after video resurfaced in 2024 Garcia said that after the video resurfaced in the media in 2024, he reached out to his former colleagues, Israel Florez and Henry Elias. He said he was contacted by law enforcement in June 2024 about the incident but testified that he wasn't honest about his involvement. 1:46 Sean 'Diddy' Combs ex-girlfriend Cassandra Ventura testifies in his ongoing sex trafficking trial Garcia added that he deleted his text messages with Florez and Elias after meeting with investigators. Story continues below advertisement He said he hired legal counsel and met with the government later in 2024 and disclosed that Combs had paid him for the video. Combs' former head of finance takes the stand Derek Ferguson, the former head of the finance department for Combs Enterprises, said he was testifying in compliance with a subpoena. He said he worked for Combs and his companies from 1998 until 2017 and that he was the chief financial officer at Bad Boy Entertainment from 1998 to 2012. Ferguson said his responsibilities included accounting, record-keeping and being involved in joint ventures and strategic partnerships. He was also responsible for Combs' personal finances. He said that when he first started at the company, he interacted with Combs 'a couple times a week' but the interactions became less frequent once he was brought in to run the company. Ferguson would then report to the company president and when there was no president, he reported directly to Combs. Prosecutors showed financial records from one of Combs' bank accounts, which included a $20,000 wire transfer from Ventura's father on Dec. 23, 2011. Ventura's mother previously testified that Combs demanded the family pay $20,000 after he threatened to release explicit sex tapes of her daughter after learning she was dating rapper Kid Cudi. Story continues below advertisement Prosecutors also noted two other $20,000 transfers that same month, with an outgoing transfer to Ventura on Dec. 14, 2011 and another to an unidentified account on Dec. 27, 2011. What Combs is on trial for U.S. prosecutors allege that for 20 years, behind the scenes, Combs was coercing and abusing women with help from a network of associates who helped silence victims through blackmail and violence. Combs faces an indictment that includes descriptions of 'freak-offs,' which are defined in the court doc as 'elaborate and produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded.' Numerous witnesses have come forward to accuse Combs of terrorizing people into silence by choking, hitting, kicking and dragging them, according to prosecutors. One indictment alleges that Combs dangled someone from a balcony. 1:37 Sean 'Diddy' Combs to fight charges with 'all of his energy' Although dozens of men and women have alleged in lawsuits that Combs abused them, this trial will highlight the claims of four women. Story continues below advertisement Combs is charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied all the charges against him and has rejected a plea deal, choosing to go to trial instead. If found guilty in the New York court, he could face life in prison. — Day 14 testimony Day 13 testimony Day 12 testimony Day 11 testimony Day 10 testimony — Global News will be covering the Diddy trial in its entirety.

Ellen Pompeo says she was detained by TSA, bomb squad over sunflower seeds
Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo revealed that she was recently detained by the Transportation Security Administration when she was trying to catch a flight, all due to a snack she was bringing on a plane. 'I had a bag of sunflower seeds, like organic sunflower seeds from Erewhon, so they were probably the most expensive sunflower seeds money can buy,' Pompeo told Travel + Leisure in an interview. 'They literally held me for an hour, and they brought the bomb squad in.' The 55-year-old actor said she couldn't believe what was happening and thought it was a joke at first. 'They said it was most likely a chemical on the packaging of these super expensive, fancy, organic, clean sunflower seeds. My protein on the plane!' she said. Pompeo said she asked the TSA agents whether they could just throw out the sunflower seeds, but they said they needed her to wait for the bomb squad to assess them. Story continues below advertisement 'I almost missed the flight. It was really like no one would ever believe this! I was texting my publicist saying, 'I might not get on this plane, and you're never gonna guess why,'' she added. Pompeo also admitted that she is a nervous flyer and tries to lie low on flights so fans don't recognize her. 'People recognize my voice, so I try not to talk,' she said. 'I try to use sign language with my kids. The minute I open my mouth, everybody turns.' 5:25 Good American Family: Ellen Pompeo's 1st project since leaving Grey's Anatomy This isn't the first time a celebrity has had a run-in with TSA over items in their luggage before a flight.

'So the last travel, I walk in and he said, 'Something bad is going to happen. I know something bad is going to happen,'' she said, before noting that she told him everything was going to 'be fine.' Cuoco said the woman working at the airport asked who had the Gucci purse and she said it was hers, thinking she was going to 'get a compliment on my purse.' 'She goes, 'We need to look through your bag.' And I go, 'It's Gucci,'' Cuoco said. Story continues below advertisement She said the TSA agent went through her bag and found a wine opener. 'Like the arms one, like a rabbit. And I was like, 'Oh, my God! That's a weapon,'' she said, adding that her ex-husband had already been taken to 'another room.' '(I go,) 'Sorry, I don't know why I carry a wine opener.' So then in my big bag, I have all these little bags. She goes, 'We need to search the rest of the bags,'' she recalled. She said that once the TSA agent started going through all of her bags, she found a second wine opener. 'Somehow subconsciously I stuck it in there,' she said.
