Lana Del Rey's Instagram beef with Ethel Cain inspires upcoming track
Lana Del Rey has seemingly escalated her public feud with alt-pop singer Ethel Cain by releasing a song snippet that appears to diss Cain. The lyrics in Del Rey's new song reference an Instagram picture of Cain with Del Rey's supposed ex-boyfriend, Jack Donoghue, and seemingly mock a 2022 New York Times headline about Cain. Following the song teaser, Ethel Cain claimed that Lana Del Rey had blocked her on Instagram. Del Rey later commented that Cain had previously body-shamed her by posting "disturbing and graphic side-by-side images" comparing Del Rey to unflattering figures and making comments about her weight. The Independent has contacted representatives for both artists for comment, as Cain recently began a tour for her new, critically acclaimed album.

Donny Osmond reveals harsh piece of advice given to him by Michael Jackson
Donny Osmond has revealed that his name used to be a 'joke' in the music industry, coming to the realisation after receiving some tough advice from a fellow pop star. Posting on his Instagram account on 30 July, the 67-year-old singer said that in the early 1980s, fans of his music were 'ousted'. Osmond turned to friend Michael Jackson, who had just released Thriller, for some advice on how to get back into the charts. 'You're name is poison Donny. You gotta change your name,' Osmond revealed, admitting that Jackson's words were 'tough to hear'. He said that when he released 'Soldier of Love' in 1989, which ultimately led to a career resurgence, radio stations played the song but did not mention the artist.

Howard Stern's radio rival says 'nobody cares' about the shock jock anymore amid cancellation rumors
One of Howard Stern 's longtime radio rivals has weighed in on rumors that the self-proclaimed 'King of All Media' may be parting ways with SiriusXM. Anthony Cumia, who is best known as one-half of the former shock jock duo Opie and Anthony, said that Stern has 'no friends' and is no longer relevant in a blistering rant on his Compound Media podcast. 'I don't think he could live without having a mic in front of him,' Cumia said. 'He's one of these guys that needs to feel like he's relevant, even if he's not,' he continued. 'I don't think he has friends. It's like when he does one of these Hollywood things out in the Hamptons. He'll talk about hanging out with [Jimmy] Kimmel or Jennifer Aniston will be there, but those are those things, you could easily be removed from that as quickly as you were allowed into it.' He added, 'I don't think these are friends he could rely on.' Stern is reportedly in negotiations with SiriusXM now that his five year $500million contract with the company is coming to an end. The radio legend's popularity has taken a major dip in recent years, with many critics accusing the former provocateur of 'going woke.' His broadcasting career fell from having 20 million listeners a day at his peak to figures as low as 125,000 listeners a day, according to The New York Post. He has predominantly broadcast The Howard Stern Show from his home over the past five years, citing fears over COVID-19. Cumia predicted that Stern will receive a 'low' offer from SiriusXM to stay with the company, despite the star previously commanding around $100million annually since joining the network in 2004. 'I think he really resents the fact that Joe Rogan got over $200million a year deal from Spotify and he wasn't the big highest-paid guy anymore,' Cumia claimed. Opie & Anthony's feud with The Howard Stern Show kicked off in the late '90s and went on for years, especially after both shows left traditional radio for SiriusXM. Cumia was infamously fired from SiriusXM in 2014 after posting a series of racist tweets. Stern is reportedly in negotiations with SiriusXM now that his five-year $500million contract with the company is coming to an end Cumia now hosts his own podcast called Compound Media with controversial Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes. Meanwhile, Stern is said to be deep in negotiations with SiriusXM over his future with the company. Stern first launched The Howard Stern Show in 1986 on traditional radio. His popularity peaked in the '90s when he became a media sensation for his shock jock stunts and outrageous no-holds-barred interviews. In 1997, he starred in his own feature film about his life and career called Private Parts and released a handful of best-selling books. The 20th season of The Howard Stern Show is set to premiere on SiriusXM on September 2. Stern's shift from having the most fearsome reputation in American entertainment to being what Kanye West described as an 'irrelevant old man' has been dramatic in recent years and he's faced backlash after admitting he was proudly 'woke.'
