Carlos Santana rushed to hospital prior to concert

CNN23-04-2025

Carlos Santana is reportedly on the mend after a health scare.
The legendary musician experienced a medical emergency prior to a performance in Texas on Tuesday.
Michael Vrionis, president of Universal Tone Management and a representative for Santana, shared statement People magazine: 'It is with profound disappointment that I have to inform you all that tonight's show in San Antonio has been postponed.'
'Mr. Santana was at the venue (Majestic Theatre) preparing for tonight's show when he experienced an event that was determined to be dehydration,' the statement continued. 'Out of an abundance of caution and the health of Mr. Santana, the decision to postpone the show was the most prudent course of action.'
Vrionis added that the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer 'is doing well and is looking forward to coming back to San Antonio soon as well as continuing his US Tour.'
'Thank you all very much for your understanding,' the statement concluded. 'The show will be rescheduled soon.'
CNN has reached out to Vrionis for comment.
The incident comes months after Santana fell and broke a finger, which resulted in the postponement of his Las Vegas residency.
'From our hearts, we wish to thank you for showing up with such beautiful energy and love in the cold & rain. You danced, you sang, and you braved the elements like true warriors of light,' a message on Santana's verified Instagram read Tuesday. 'Your warmth and passion lit up the night more than any spotlight ever could. It was truly an honor to share our hearts music with you.'

Judge dismisses Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

A judge on Monday dismissed Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation lawsuit against Hollywood power couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, a major development in the ongoing civil litigation between former co-stars Lively and Baldoni. In January, Baldoni sued Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, alleging that the Hollywood couple sought to 'destroy' him and his career, after hijacking his film, 'It Ends With Us.' Baldoni's complaint escalated the ongoing legal battle stemming from the film that Baldoni directed and co-starred in with Lively. In a statement, Lively's lawyers Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb called the ruling 'a total victory and a complete vindication.' 'As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it,' the statement added. Motions to dismiss Baldoni's claims by Lively, Reynolds and their publicist, Leslie Sloane, were all granted. The judge also granted a motion to dismiss by the New York Times. Baldoni had sued the publication for $250 million for libel, claiming that the newspaper published an article 'rife with inaccuracies, misrepresentations, and omissions' that relied on Lively's 'self-serving narrative.' The judge ruled that Baldoni can file an amended complaint on the allegations of tortious interference with contract, relating to Reynolds and Lively, and breach of implied covenant, relating to Lively, by June 23, if they choose to do so. CNN has reached out to representatives for Baldoni and the New York Times for comment. The ongoing saga between Lively and Baldoni erupted in December 2024, when Lively first filed a civil rights complaint, claiming that she was sexually harassed by Baldoni during production of the film and then was retaliated against for speaking up about her alleged mistreatment. Baldoni immediately denied Lively's claims. Lively eventually escalated her civil rights complaint, officially filing a lawsuit against Baldoni. She alleged that after being sexually harassed with inappropriate comments and behavior on set, Baldoni's team then orchestrated a smear campaign against her to ruin her reputation in the public sphere. Lively's complaint contained hundreds of text messages between Baldoni and his crisis PR team, including one text that read they could 'bury' her. Since, the legal teams for both stars have been in a bitter and public back-and-forth that at one point saw superstar Taylor Swift subpoenaed in the case. Baldoni's lawyers eventually withdrew the subpoena. Baldoni's team at one point launched a public website containing documents pertaining to the litigation and a 'timeline of relevant events.'

Warner Bros. Split Puts Bondholders in a Bind

These days the real art of television and film lies in repackaging existing formats, presenting them as something new and getting consumers to pay for it all. Warner Bros Discovery Inc. is attempting this at a grand scale with its planned separation into businesses focused first on streaming and studios, and second on legacy television. It's a sequel that pits bondholders and shareholders against each other. Liberated as a focused company, Warner's streaming and studio business promises to fetch a higher stock-market valuation as it attracts investors otherwise deterred by the current company's ties to old media. The cable television outfit, whose assets include CNN, TNT, TBS and Discovery, is likely to take on a lot of the company's debt. True, the cable industry has been losing audience to streaming upstarts, but its sizeable cash flows can still support a little extra debt leverage. Warner's cable business could generate $6.1 billion in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization in 2025, Bloomberg Intelligence forecasts. That's twice what the studio business is expected to bring in.

Nara and Lucky Blue Smith Are Expecting Another Baby—Less Than a Year After Saying They Were ‘Done'

Model and content creator Nara Smith first crossed paths with fellow IMG model Lucky Blue Smith in 2019. Within a year, the two had quietly tied the knot, started a family, and begun building the life that would later turn them into one of TikTok's most recognizable couples. While they've kept many details of their personal lives private, both have occasionally opened up online or in interviews about their relationship, family life, and being in the public eye. Since their wedding in 2020, they've welcomed three children together and amassed a massive following across social media—largely due to Nara's cooking-from-scratch videos, often shot in their home kitchen. Below, a full timeline of their relationship so far. Nara and Lucky met during Milan Fashion Week while both were working as models. Shortly after, Lucky initiated contact by messaging Nara on Instagram. According to the couple, they moved from texting to a seven-hour phone call—and have spoken daily ever since. 'There hasn't been a day since that day that we've not been talking,' Nara shared in an April 2025 Vogue interview. 'I messaged Nara on Instagram, we started texting a little bit, I was very slow at texting,' Lucky revealed in the interview. 'I like to take my time with what I'm going to say.' Nara quipped, 'Five business days?' That fall, they made their relationship public on Instagram. Lucky reportedly proposed to Nara in 2019. Nara later revealed she developed a crush on Lucky years earlier after seeing him appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. 'After we got married I was thinking about our journey and realized that at 15 I saw an Ellen interview with Lucky and had a crush on him but then forgot about it until later 😭,' she wrote in a December 2024 Instagram post. Nara and Lucky got married in a small beach ceremony in California. Nara shared a video from the day captioned, 'I married my best friend today.' The couple welcomed their first daughter, Rumble Honey Smith. Nara shared the news on Instagram with the caption, 'little baby angel Rumble Honey 10/7/20.' Nara gave birth to their second child, a son named Slim Easy. For his birthday the following year, she posted a video of a homemade donut tower to mark the occasion, writing, 'Can't believe how quickly time flies and how I've got a 2-year-old best friend now.' Their third child, daughter Whimsy Lou, was born. Nara announced her arrival on April 11 with a short video captioned, 'Our little angel has arrived!' The couple said they are not planning to have more children. 'Yep, I'm done,' Nara said in a GQ video, echoing Lucky's sentiment. They explained that while they originally envisioned a larger family, three children now feels like the right number. Nara and Lucky attended the Ralph Lauren Spring 2025 show in the Hamptons as part of New York Fashion Week. Lucky walked the runway, and the couple shared a few moments on camera together. Around the same time, they revealed plans to move to the East Coast, explaining in a TikTok video that they're hoping to settle somewhere quieter with more space for gardening and raising their family. Nara posted a throwback clip of Lucky's 2019 proposal to mark their five-year engagement anniversary. In the caption, she reflected on how their life has unfolded since, writing, 'I wish I could tell 18-year-old me just how beautiful life would become.' Nara and Lucky revealed they are expecting their fourth child. In a reel posted to Instagram and TikTok, Nara approached Lucky in a flowing cream blouse and skirt before gently cradling her growing baby bump. Lucky placed a hand on her stomach and kissed it as they smiled toward the camera. 'Our little surprise,' she wrote in the caption, adding 'baby 4 loading...' over the video. The announcement came nearly a year after the couple said they were done having children. They've yet to share how far along Nara is or the baby's gender. This story will be updated.
