65 Thoughts I Had While Watching Evita
This was, I'll admit, my first time seeing the movie all the way through. My main takeaways? Cults of personality are dangerous; we've played ourselves by not putting Antonio Banderas into more musicals; Jonathan Pryce is a cutie; and Madonna is heaven. Here, 65 things I thought (and things I learned!) while watching Evita.

Olivia Rodrigo & Ed Sheeran Perform ‘The A Team' in Surprise London Duet
Olivia Rodrigo welcomed Ed Sheeran to her stage for a surprise duet of 'The A Team' in London on Friday night (June 27). Together the two pop hitmakers, guitars in hand, strummed and sang Sheeran's debut single for the U.K. crowd at Hyde Park's BST (British Summer Time) concert series, where Rodrigo was performing ahead of a headlining slot at Glastonbury later this weekend. Post-show, Sheeran shared footage of the moment on Instagram. The performance video shows the two musicians harmonizing on the chorus of 'The A Team.'

'Both albums are no skips for me, I'm a proper fan. We first met at the rock and roll hall of fame back in 2022, sat next to each other with her mum and my dad and went on to hang and keep in touch from there.' Of his Friday night plans, Sheeran said, 'Was gonna go watch the show anyway but she hit me and asked to sing The A Team with her, which was such a buzz. That song turns 15 this year, and I remember playing it to rooms with no one in it in 2010, so to still be playing it to new fans with one of the brightest stars of the next generation is an honour and a privilege.

Also spotted at Rodrigo's Friday gig was a smiling Sabrina Carpenter who enjoyed the show from the balcony, as seen in photos published by the Daily Mail. 'The A Team,' first released in 2011, was Sheeran's first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 16 in 2012. Following Rodrigo's concert, on Saturday Sheeran posted another treat for fans on TikTok: a short mashup of his 'Perfect' with Rodrigo's 'Happier,' sung together. Sheeran previously praised Rodrigo's 2021 breakthrough hit, 'Drivers License,' as a flawless debut single, and noted both her debut and sophomore full-length albums, Sour and Guts, are 'unskippable… it's just, as a record, just a great record.'

Adamari Lopez bombshell: TV star hired a PI when she thought partner was cheating
Ever felt like snooping on a partner you suspect of cheating? Adamari Lopez has no problem with that. As long as someone is doing the prying, namely a professional. The former telenovela actress confessed around the 16 minute mark of Thursday's 'Ada y Chiqui de Show, ' a newish lifestyle show on YouTube with her pal Chiquibaby (aka Stephanie Himonidis Sedano), that she once hired a PI to do her dirty work. That's short for private investigator. The Univision personality ('Desiguales') and Chiqui were discussing who was the more jealous and toxic of the two, and the topic of affairs came up. 'It's like the old saying, 'Seek and you will find,'' said Lopez, touching her nose. 'You know what happens; we have an intuition.' Lopez went on to say it's better to leave than stay with a significant other who doesn't want to be with you. 'If someone gives me reason to be jealous and to make an accurate, correct and well-thought-out decision you have to gather all your sources,' she said. 'Or else you'll turn into a crazy person.' Lopez explained the process to Chiqui, who appeared shocked: You pay the PI, and he or she gives up the goods, including photos, videos, 'de todo' (everything). The Puerto Rican native claimed that men are really bad at hiding affairs. 'They swear that they know how to do things,' Lopez said. 'But they don't know a damn thing [about how to have a side piece].' The former 'Hoy Dia' star believed the reason many stray is they lack the 'huevos' to communicate if something is wrong. 'Well, if you're looking elsewhere, I can too,' she said. 'Then I can leave the relationship to find my peace, my tranquility and find a relationship that's worth it and one that isn't with a [bleep] who deceives you.' Lopez did not name the ex in question, but she was married to Latin pop star Luis Fonsi for roughly three years and later wrote a memoir about their tumultuous time together. In 2012's 'Viviendo' ('Living'), the breast cancer survivor divulged that the 'Despacito' singer was unfaithful to her, which he vehemently denied. A few years after the split, Lopez fell in love with her 'Mira Quién Baila' partner Toni Costa, with whom she has a daughter, now 10. They broke up in 2021; the reason was not publicly disclosed.
