David Guetta sends song to Benson Boone for possible collaboration
French DJ and record producer David Guetta has revealed that he recently sent rising pop star Benson Boone a song, opening the door for a potential musical collaboration between the two artists.
The revelation came during backstage coverage at the American Music Awards (#AMAs), where Guetta briefly discussed his latest projects and future plans.
'I sent him a track because I think his voice and energy would bring something really special to it,' Guetta said. 'Benson is super talented, and I've been following his journey for a while now.'
Guetta, a two-time Grammy Award winner known for hit collaborations with artists like Sia, Usher, and Nicki Minaj, continues to blend electronic dance music with pop and R&B to global acclaim. A track featuring Benson Boone could introduce the young American singer-songwriter to a new audience while bringing a fresh emotional edge to Guetta's high-energy production style.
Benson Boone has been rapidly gaining attention in the music scene with viral hits like 'Beautiful Things' and his debut album Fireworks & Rollerblades. Boone's powerful vocals and emotionally charged lyrics have earned him a growing fanbase and critical praise.
While neither artist confirmed a release date or official project, the news has sparked excitement among fans on social media, who are eager to hear what the two artists might create together.

First ever Birkin bag heads to auction at Sotheby's
The value of the prototype has not been disclosed. Photo: AFP The first-ever Birkin bag that was designed by French luxury brand Hermes for actress Jane Birkin is set to be sold at auction in Paris, with the piece of modern fashion history likely to spark a bidding frenzy. The Birkin has become a modern design icon that is so exclusive that Hermes only offers it to loyal clients, with prices starting at around $10,000. Auction house Sotheby's, which is handling the sale of the Birkin prototype in Paris on July 10, declined to specify a reserve price publicly and its value is hard to forecast. "The Original Birkin holds the potential to redefine records," Morgane Halimi, Sotheby's global handbag and fashion head, said in a statement. The previous record sale price for a handbag at auction was set by a highly customised Birkin in Hong Kong in 2017. The diamond-encrusted crocodile-skin Birkin 30 with white gold details fetched $510,000 at Christie's. The seller of the original Birkin is well-known Paris-based handbag collector and dealer Catherine Benier whose appointment-only boutique in the high-end 6th district of the capital has a cult following. Benier told The New York Times that the bag was the "jewel in my collection". It has changed hands twice since being put up for sale by Birkin at an auction in 1994 where the proceeds went to an AIDS charity, Sotheby's said. The birth of the Birkin bag has become a modern fashion legend. During a Paris-London flight, the singer and actress — who died in 2023 — complained to a fellow traveller about not being able to find a bag suited to her needs as a young mother. That fellow passenger happened to be Jean-Louis Dumas, then head of Hermes. The result of their conversation was a spacious tote with room for baby bottles, created in 1984 and named the Birkin. It is engraved with the initials JB and has several unique features, Sotheby's said, including closed metal rings, a non-detachable shoulder strap and a built-in nail clipper. Its condition "reflects the many years of use by the actress and singer," Sotheby's said. The prototype Birkin will be exhibited at Sotheby's in New York from June 6 to 12 before being put on show in the French capital before the sale. In addition to the Birkin bag, the Sotheby's "Fashion Icons" sale will feature runway pieces from designers including Christian Dior, John Galliano, Thierry Mugler and Alexander McQueen. Bidding will open online on June 26 and close on July 10.

Life of Chuck' explores essence of life and love
Before finishing the science-fiction drama film The Life of Chuck, English actor Tom Hiddleston and American director Mike Flanagan had a conversation about life, death and existence. "I think (the conversation) went far deeper than just about any conversation I can recall having with an actor," Flanagan told Reuters during an interview in Los Angeles. For both Hiddleston and Flanagan, the core of the film, based on author Stephen King's 2020 novella of the same name, is understanding the essence of being alive. "I loved the wisdom in the story," Hiddleston said. "This idea of holding onto the people you love and the people who matter, because you never know when it'll all end, and to have the courage to live as fully as you can with what you have," he added. The film produced by Intrepid Pictures, FilmNation Entertainment, and WME Independent arrives in theatres on Friday. The story follows Charles "Chuck" Krantz, whose life story is told chronologically backwards, depicting the influence he has on the world and also how the world influences him. The film explores existentialism, death and loss, and the apocalypse, fitting the thematic elements that both King and Flanagan are known for. The cast includes Hiddleston as Chuck Krantz, Mark Hamill as Chuck's grandpa Albie Krantz, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Karen Gillan as ex-spouses Marty Anderson and Felicia Gordon. Beyond the supernatural themes, Hamill believes the messages of The Life of Chuck delve into current real-world divisions. "I really think it's the perfect timing for this movie, because we are so divided as a nation, and we are dealing with just one outrage after another," he said. "It's almost frightening to open up your computer every day and see what's happened now. And so, I think this movie couldn't arrive at a better time. It's almost therapeutic," he added. Reuters

Eastwood slams 'phony' Austrian daily interview
An Austrian newspaper came under fire Tuesday after Hollywood star Clint Eastwood said an alleged interview with him published by the paper to mark his 95th birthday was "entirely phony". The row was sparked by a purported interview with the Oscar-winning actor and director carried by the German-language Kurier newspaper Friday. In the interview, which was picked up widely by American media over the weekend, Eastwood criticises a lack of fresh ideas in the current film industry as "we live in an era of remakes and franchises". "I long for the good old days when screenwriters wrote films like Casablanca in small bungalows on the studio lot. When everyone had a new idea," he was quoted as saying. "My philosophy is, do something new or stay at home." In a statement to Deadline magazine published Monday, Eastwood said "I thought I would set the record straight". "I can confirm I've turned 95. I can also confirm that I never gave an interview to an Austrian publication called Kurier, or any other writer in recent weeks, and that the interview is entirely phony," he added. On Tuesday, the Vienna-based Kurier's editorial team said its freelancer Elisabeth Sereda had compiled the interview by citing from "a total of 18" round table conversations with Eastwood. But since the article was published as an interview and not as a profile, the daily said it would cut ties with the author. "Even though no quotes have been fabricated, the interviews are documented and the allegations of falsification can be refuted, we will not be working with the author in the future because transparency and our strict editorial standards are paramount to us," Kurier said in a statement published on its website. The newspaper had recently published interviews by Sereda with celebrities such as Jude Law and Elton John. afp
