Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem dance at Bad Bunny concert
"Gracias Benitoooooooo?Impresionante!!" Cruz, 51, wrote on Instagram Tuesday, Aug. 12, translating to, "Thank you Benito, impressive!" In the Instagram video, Cruz wears a black lacy top as she captures herself singing and dancing with Bardem, 56, close behind before she pans to Bad Bunny sitting and rapping on stage. She then pans back to a surprised Bardem wearing a black baseball cap. In fan videos, Cruz can also be seen introducing a track and shouting to the crowd: "Acho, PR es otra cosa!" translating to, "Hey, PR is something else!" Cruz and Bardem married in 2010 and have two children: Leo, 14, and Luna, 12. Bad Bunny, the Latin superstar born Benito Ocasio, kicked off his No Me Quiero Ir de Aqui (I Don't Want to Leave Here) residency July 11 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, the island's largest indoor arena. The first nine dates were reserved for local residents only, as Bad Bunny, 31, wanted to pay tribute to his homeland. He'll continue his performances every weekend through Sept. 14 for shows that are already boosting tourism in Puerto Rico. At another show, the Grammy-winning reggaeton superstar invited actor Austin Butler to join him on stage, as seen in viral fan footage shared on social media. Austin Butler recalls trippy Bad Bunny concert after taking edible: 'My brain is in two movies' Butler explained to "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon that his concert euphoria wasn't just a musical high. "Somebody gave me an edible right before the show, and I thought that was a good idea at the time," Butler said. "It's like my brain is in two movies." Bad Bunny's concerts are in support of his chart-topping sixth studio album, "Debi Tirar Mas Fotos," which reflects the musical styles he grew up with and lyrically tackles the cultural identity and the socio-political challenges of the island. The album's all-stadium world tour kicks off Nov. 21 in Santo Domingo and ends July 22 in Brussels, Belgium. The tour does not currently have any dates in the continental United States.

Tristan Rogers has died at the age of 79, his manager confirmed in a sad statement. The General Hospital actor's death comes just weeks after a statement revealed he had been diagnosed with lung cancer. His manager Meryl Soodak said: "He loved being [Robert] Scorpio and he created that role from nothing [on General Hospital]. He was supposed to work a day and he ended up making it into something huge. "He was just a genuinely loyal, kind human being and he loved his family." Speaking to ABC7, Soodak said the actor passed away Friday morning after a being diagnosed with lung cancer. He also noted that Rogers had never been a smoker. Just weeks earlier, Tristan's friend and publicist, Anthony Turk, shared a press release to reveal the sad news of his cancer diagnosis. It read: "'Beloved Emmy-winning actor Tristan Rogers, best known for his role as Robert Scorpio on the daytime drama, General Hospital, is sharing with fans that he has been diagnosed with cancer. "While he remains hopeful and is working closely with his medical team on a treatment plan, this is a challenging time for Tristan and his family." He went on to request "privacy and understanding" and added the family was facing "emotional and physical burdens that come with this diagnosis". Anthony concluded: "'They are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support and love from their friends and family. Tristan sends his love to his fans and wants them to know how much he appreciates their loyalty and encouragement over the years. "This support means more to him now than ever." Tristan had been a part of the stateside soap since 1980. He had taken a step back in recent years, but did reprise his role last year. His final time on air on the show came on November 12 last year. As well as appearing in General Hospital, Tristan had other big roles on soaps in the US.

Universal deny that head Lucian Grainge was personally involved in Kendrick Lamar attack on Drake
Universal Music Group has denied new allegations made by Drake's lawyers that its British chair and chief executive Lucian Grainge had a 'role in and knowledge of the scheme to defame and harass' the Canadian rapper by peer Kendrick Lamar, and that as such the label should 'collect, review and produce' communications by Grainge. Drake is suing UMG – his label Republic's parent company – over its release of Lamar's 2024 diss track Not Like Us, which contains the line: 'Say, Drake, I hear you like 'em young … Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles.' The artwork for the global hit single features an image of Drake's home dotted with icons used to identify the homes of registered sex offenders. Drake has denied the allegations, and in January filed a lawsuit against UMG – not Lamar himself – alleging that it 'approved, published and launched a campaign to create a viral hit out of a rap track' that was 'intended to convey the specific, unmistakable and false factual allegation that Drake is a criminal paedophile, and to suggest that the public should resort to vigilante justice in response'. The label initially responded that the suit was 'utterly without merit'. Drake's latest motion argued that Drake believes 'Grainge was personally involved in decisions made regarding the marketing and promotion of [Not Like Us] around its release'. Lawyers for UMG have now called for Drake's motion to be denied, labelling it a 'transparent attempt to use discovery to harass UMG and force it to waste time and resources out of spite' and that his 'attempts to show Sir Lucian's relevance are so strained that they defy credulity'. In legal documents, Grainge declared that he never heard the song prior to its release. Lawyer Rollin A Ransom continued: 'The premise of Drake's motion – that he could not have lost a rap battle unless it was the product of some imagined secret conspiracy going to the top of UMG's corporate structure – is absurd. Sir Lucian is the CEO of a multinational enterprise; his days are spent determining and implementing global strategy, not vetting individual tracks or album covers or driving the release and promotional plans for any one recording.' Drake previously agreed not to seek documents from Grainge, the letter states. 'And even if Sir Lucian had any responsive documents, they would surely be captured by discovery from UMG's other document custodians, who were actually responsible for releasing and promoting Not Like Us. Drake does not come close to meeting his burden of showing that Sir Lucian must be a custodian.' The letter concludes: 'Drake argues that Sir Lucian must be a custodian for no other reason than because Drake asked for him. That is entirely inconsistent with the law and is particularly inappropriate given that Drake's request is clearly based on a desire to harass UMG, rather than for a legitimate reason.' Drake has not responded to the new filing. The Guardian has contacted his representatives. UMG is seeking to have the case dismissed entirely, claiming in March that Drake 'lost a rap battle that he provoked and in which he willingly participated … diss tracks are a popular and celebrated art form centred around outrageous insults, and they would be severely chilled if Drake's suit were permitted to proceed'.
