Shawn Mendes to celebrate 10 years since his first album with On the Road Again tour
Washington [US], May 30 (ANI): Singer Shawn Mendes announced his upcoming On the Road Again Tour, set to celebrate 10 years since his debut album, Handwritten, later this year with dates in Europe and North America.
'I feel like time away has allowed me to come back and recognize and remember how unbelievably special it is to get to play live shows,' said Mendes in a statement about the tour. 'It's an honor and I'm just beyond grateful that you guys keep showing up after 10 years with so much love,' reported People.
Kicking off August 2 at the Sunny Hill Festival in Pristina, Kosovo, the tour will make stops in cities including London, Amsterdam, Madrid, Munich, Boston, Toronto, New York, Chicago, Vancouver and San Francisco before wrapping October 17 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
Mendes will be joined by opening acts MARO and Lubiana in Europe and Eddie Benjamin in North America. 'I came across MARO's music a few years ago and she immediately became one of my favorite artists,' he said. 'To be honest, I'm pretty beside myself that she'll be joining us,' according to People.
He continued, 'Same with Lubiana, she blows me away and just embodies everything as an artist I stand behind. And finally this unbelievably talented, humble human being & my brother, Eddie, will be joining in North America.'
The On the Road Again Tour comes after Mendes' latest album, Shawn, was released in November 2024, reported People. (ANI)

Documentary on K-pop superstar Lisa in works
ANI 31 May 2025, 00:54 GMT+10 Los Angeles [US], May 30 (ANI): There's great news for K-pop superstar Lisa's fans. As per Variety, a documentary film is being made on the life of Lisa, who rose to fame with Blackpink. Sony Music Vision and director Sue Kim have collaborated to create this project. Kim said she spent a year working with Lisa on the forthcoming film, for which no release date was given. The filmmaker's previous acclaimed directorial work has been with less famous subjects, like A24's 'The Last of the Sea Women,' which premiered last fall at the Toronto Film Festival. But Kim did not come to the Lisa project as a K-pop novice; she was an executive producer on Apple TV+'s docuseries 'K-Pop Idols.' Excited to showcase the moments of her life via a documentary film, Lisa in a statement said, 'This has been such an incredible year and I'm so lucky to have the opportunity to capture these special moments on film and share the experience with my fans. Working with Sue Kim has been such a joy. We've been all around the world together and I know this is just the beginning of many more exciting things to come.' The Lisa film is a production of Tremolo Productions in association with Salt Water Productions and LLOUD CO. The producers for the doc include Morgan Neville and Caitrin Rogers for Tremolo, and Sue Kim and Courtney Crockett for Salt Water Productions. (ANI)

Rebel Wilson responds to 'The Deb' controversy
Washington [US], May 21 (ANI): Actress Rebel Wilson cleared the air after social media posts about 'The Deb' made headlines amid the ongoing legal fight surrounding the movie. In response to a video of 'The Deb' actress Charlotte MacInnes singing at Cannes from the yacht owned by the film's financier Len Blavatnik, The Deb's Instagram account posted stories with captions critical of MacInnes. Wilson is said to be in control of the account for the movie that does not have a release plan in light of the project's legal battle, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 'Charlotte MacInnes in a culturally inappropriate Indian outfit on Len Blavatnik's luxury yacht in Cannes -- ironically singing a song from a movie that will never get released because of her lies and support for the people blocking the film's release,' read one caption. A follow-up post included the message, 'So glad you got your record deal, Charlotte, at the expense of the 300 people who worked on The Deb and really wanna see it released,' as per the outlet. Wilson's team noted in a statement shared to address the posts, 'The entire Deb crew is looking forward for the film to finally be shown to the world. Rebel is so proud of this film and in awe of all of the hard work everyone involved put into the creation of her directorial debut.' Earlier, Wilson shared a video on Instagram accusing producers Amanda Ghost, Gregory Cameron and Vince Holden of embezzlement and sexual harassment. She also accused them of preventing the film from premiering at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The producers then sued Wilson for defamation and claimed that she was attempting to land a writing credit on the film, which led Wilson to countersue months later, as per the outlet. 'The Deb' is a musical film centring on a high school outcast played by Natalie Abbott, who teams up with her cousin (MacInnes), as the pair aim to shake up the upcoming debutante ball. Marking her feature directorial debut, Wilson helmed the movie from Hannah Reilly's screenplay, adapting the stage show that debuted in Sydney in 2022, according to The Hollywood Reporter. (ANI)
