Donny Osmond makes candid Michael Jackson revelation
Facing a career downturn, Osmond sought advice from Michael Jackson, who had just released Thriller.
Jackson candidly told Osmond that his name was "poison" and advised him to change it, which Osmond found difficult to hear.
Osmond's career saw a resurgence in 1989 with "Soldier of Love", a song radio stations played without initially crediting him as the artist.

Katie Price shares scathing message about 'fakery' as Peter Andre drama rages on
Katie Price has shared a lengthy message in response to Peter Andre's bombshell statement about her parenting of daughter Princess and son Junior. In it, she admitted to her 'sins' while vowing to 'be better' after years of personal battles with addiction and mental health issues. It comes after, in a recent Instagram post, Peter hit out at his ex-wife, making shocking comments about their kids' welfare. Peter, who met the former glamour model on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004, said he felt 'frustrated' at having to remain silent since their separation in 2009, but felt compelled to speak out now to 'set the record straight' once and for all. He wrote that, in 2019, 'the family courts issued a legally binding order' to enforce the arrangement of Princess, now 18, and Junior, now 20, living with him and his wife, Emily Andre, 35, due to 'well-documented' reasons. The Mysterious Girl hitmaker claimed that Katie is continuing to repeat 'falsehoods' and 'lies' about him and his relationship with his kids, more of which will be addressed in the 'coming months'. It is assumed he is referring to Katie's claims that she was 'banned' from Princess's recent birthday party, which was filmed for the budding influencer's fly-on-the-wall series with ITV. Initially, it was speculated that there was a rift between the reality star and her daughter but after Princess firmly quashed these, Katie claimed it was her daughter's management—who also manage Peter—who dished out the order. Now, Katie has taken to her own social media page with an essay about 'saints and sinners'. She wrote this evening: 'Saints and sinners. As we know, in this life we are thought of as Saints and Sinners. 'I know I will always be a Sinner. That's fair, I allowed myself to fail into reliance on drugs and alcohol. 'At times I was not the mother I should have been while I struggled with mental illness. I have been at times a poor friend, an awful sibling, an an untrustworthy partner. 'I've self medicated, been unfaithful, damaged myself and those that I love. 'I've had many reasons – I was sexually abused when younger; I've had relationships that have been coercive; and my mental health issues – but I don't want to make excuses. 'I've recognised my issues and worked to put them behind me. Sometimes I tried and failed, sometimes I succeeded. 'I've pulled myself out of suicidal spiral because I love my children and want to be there for them. 'I don't pretend to be perfect by any means – but I'm trying to be the best I can.' Katie proceeded to mention the 'Saints' who are 'genuine' and have 'helped her', before launching an attack on those who 'are not who they would have you believe they are'. 'They have a carefully managed image which must be exhausting to maintain,' she continued. 'Some Saints are fake. They play the victim and to succeed in life they need a villain… or at least a Sinner. Without the Sinner they don't get to be the Saint… 'As a Sinner – I sometimes get bored of these Saints. But maybe I should feel sorry for them, It must be such hard work having to pretend all the time.' Katie concluded: 'Anyway, all you Sinners keep your heads up and keep trying to be better. All you Saints, it's ok not to be perfect xxx' Her latest post comes after Katie's reps issued a statement to Metro after Peter revealed Princess and Junior had been in his care since 2018 'for their safety'. 'Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation,' they said. 'This was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly, she's dealing with this the right way, and it's now in her lawyer's hands.

Seth Meyers on Trump's Kennedy Center fixation: ‘This is what the right really cares about'
With most late-night hosts on holiday, Seth Meyers looked into Donald Trump's fixation with the Kennedy Center after he said he picked honorees to prevent 'woke' winners. 'You might be wondering why you haven't heard much about important issues like inflation, healthcare or infrastructure lately,' said Seth Meyers on Thursday's Late Night, 'but there's a very good reason: Donald Trump doesn't care. He pretended to care during the campaign, the same way you pretend to love apple picking when you're dating someone. 'Trump and Maga don't actually care if people can afford healthcare or groceries,' he continued. But they do care about the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which Trump took over early in his term, firing the board and installing himself as chair. Earlier this week, Trump announced plans to personally host its annual award show, the Kennedy Center Honors, in December. Trump also said he was about '98% involved' in selecting the honorees. 'I turned down plenty,' he said. 'I had a couple of wokesters.' 'I'm sorry, did he say 'wokesters'?' said Meyers. 'A wokester sounds like a car your great-grandfather drove after the war. 'Shout out to the free speech warriors going radio silent while the president just fully admits he's punishing artists for their politics,' he added. 'You keep doing you, but only when it fits your worldview, you fucking hypocrites. 'But Trump says these things with impunity, because this is what really animates the Maga movement,' he continued. 'They don't care about policy or improving people's lives. They want to go on Fox News and whine about woke.' Meyers played a series clips of numerous Republicans fuming about so-called cancellations of characters from Mr Potato Head to Pepe Le Pew. 'You can't freak out every time a few people online complain about something,' said Meyers. 'That doesn't represent the left. That's just social media. The same thing happened with the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad: no one in a real position of power on the left or in the Democratic party said a word about it, but then the most annoying voices on the right spent weeks fanning a so-called backlash to the backlash to mine clicks, until it got all the way to the president, who felt the need to talk about it in between flag humps. 'This is what the right really cares about. This is why Trump is spending his precious time announcing the Kennedy Center Honors and complaining about how he never personally was offered that award.' As Trump put it: 'I would've taken it, if they called me … I waited and waited and waited.' 'You were waiting by the phone for a Kennedy Center award? What did you think you were going to get it for?' Meyers laughed. 'I mean, I know he thought he should've won an Emmy for The Apprentice, but the Kennedy Center honor is for performing artists who have contributed a lifetime to the culture. Did you put out an album that we don't know about? Were you in a band called Trumpawampa? You haven't done anything for the arts, and you still sat by the phone thinking 'I think this might be my year?' 'But this is what they want,' he concluded. 'They complain about participation trophies, and then demand trophies for not even participating in anything.'
