Addison Rae hails 'divine' Lana Del Rey after Wembley show
The 24-year-old star recently joined Lana, 40, on stage at Wembley Stadium in London, and Addison subsequently took to social media to reflect on the experience of performing with one of her musical heroes, describing herself as the "happiest and luckiest girl on earth".
Addison - who first found fame on TikTok, before switching her focus towards music - wrote on Instagram: "I will never forget this. Thank you so much to the most beautiful divine woman, heart, soul, mind…, Lana. I am the happiest and luckiest girl on earth. Being next to you is spiritual. (sic)"
The Diet Pepsi hitmaker has enjoyed huge success over the last year, which included releasing her debut studio album in June and announcing plans for a world tour.
However, Addison previously insisted that she doesn't have any regrets about her career journey.
The pop star always dreamed of becoming a success in the music business, but Addison recognises that TikTok has played an important role in her success.
She told ELLE: "All of that led me to where I am right now.
"What's funny to me is that people assume that these passions are new. First of all, no one ever even knew who I was before I was a freshman in college, so it's like, 'How would you even know what my interests were before?' I grew up dancing; I've always loved to sing.
"I acknowledge how lucky I am that I was on TikTok, and people cared enough to watch my videos and follow me, and therefore gave me the freedom to be able to explore my deep desires that I've always had. It's like, 'What am I going to do? Not chase my dreams because I feel like I haven't done enough school to get here? Or I haven't had enough experience?' It's like, 'No, the door opened for me, and I'm going to go through and explore it.'"

Sharon Osbourne says she disinvited greedy band from Ozzy's Black Sabbath farewell concert: ‘It's not the time to make a profit'
Sharon Osbourne said she disinvited a greedy band from her husband Ozzy Osbourne's Black Sabbath farewell concert. During an interview with Billboard ahead of the show Saturday, the former 'Talk' co-host said the unnamed group 'wanted to make a profit, and it's not the time to make a profit.' Sharon, 72, added, 'After the show, I'll let everybody know who it was. I think people will be shocked.' Page Six has reached out to Sharon's rep for comment but did not immediately hear back. On Saturday, Ozzy, 76, performed his final show with his Black Sabbath bandmates, Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward, at the Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham, England, where the band was formed in the late '60s. The 10-hour show featured stellar performances from Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Jack Black and more and was hosted by 'Aquaman' star Jason Momoa. In February, the rockstar announced that he would be taking the stage for a final time with the group amid his health ailments. 'It's my time to go back to the beginning … time for me to give back to the place where I was born,' he said in a statement at the time. 'How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham forever.' In 2020, Ozzy revealed he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Three years later, the dad of five paused touring after undergoing an extensive spinal surgery in 2022. In November 2023, Ozzy shared that he only had '10 years left' to live after his back surgery left him 'virtually crippled.' ''How long do you want me to f–king live for?!'' he shared with Rolling Stone UK about a conversation he had with Sharon. ''At best, I've got 10 years left and when you're older, time picks up speed.'' Ozzy, who has an assisted suicide pact in place with Sharon, also told the outlet that he doesn't 'want to have a long, painful and miserable existence.' 'I like the idea that if you have a terminal illness, you can go to a place in Switzerland and get it done quickly,' he added. 'I saw my father die of cancer.'

Wimbledon's electronic line calling failure is a victory for humanity
It's been 44 years since electronic music innovators Kraftwerk released the mournful, melodic, moving masterpiece 'Computer Love'. And if that seems like a strange place to start an article on Wimbledon, let's not forget there's currently no love for the computer line judge in SW19, a system replacing a craft that did work. With that painfully tenuous intro out of the way: the implementation of electronic line calling (ELC) at this year's Wimbledon, a technology already used elsewhere on the tour, was always going to be controversial. The Championships at the All England Club are a tournament steeped in tradition, positively drenched in it – from the customary white attire adorned by players, to the men's and women's title winners dancing at the Champions' Ball, to revellers relaxing on Henman Hill and enjoying Pimm's, strawberries and cream. Advertisement Similarly, there was always a charm in seeing a legion of line judges, dressed smartly in colours of cream and blue, march onto court before a match. Of course, there was the possibility of margin for error, yet you'd like to think there was always an understanding among fans when a line judge got a call wrong; even players, caught up in the emotions of trying to win tennis's most prestigious tournament, were largely forgiving. And the introduction of Hawk-Eye in 2007, giving players the ability to challenge calls, marked a sensible step into the present while retaining the tradition of employing real people on court to make the big calls. For 147 years, human line judges were used, until it was announced that 2025 would represent a leap into a bold new era (which basically no one wanted to enter), with ELC replacing actual line judges. One could argue, of course, that the stakes are so high at Wimbledon, both historically and monetarily, that relying on an electronic system might be the right call – no pun intended. However, that is based on the premise that the electronic system is more accurate than the human eye, a premise that has been challenged (again, no pun intended, honestly) this week. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova challenged the umpire after an error in the line call system (REUTERS) British hopefuls Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu, now both eliminated in SW19, questioned the accuracy of ELC. Raducanu, after her loss to world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka on Friday, even said: 'It's kind of disappointing, the tournament here, that the calls can be so wrong.' Advertisement Yet the boiling point came on Sunday afternoon, when another Briton struck a shot well beyond the baseline, only for ELC to fail to call Sonay Kartal's error. Her opponent, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, would have won the game if she had correctly been awarded the point, and she would have led 5-4 in the opening set. What ensued was a bizarre scene. Umpire Nico Helwerth (from Germany, like Kraftwerk, ah?) was admittedly unable to use the video replay that fans at home could see, meaning he pulled out a corded telephone to discuss the matter with fellow officials, before informing the Centre Court crowd that the point had to be replayed. Pavlyuchenkova remained remarkably calm initially, even after losing the replayed point. But when she lost the game itself, she used the change of ends to vent. 'Because she is local, they can say whatever,' the Russian told Helworth, referring to Kartal. 'You took the game away from me.' When Helworth seemed to lay blame at the feet of the system, Pavlyuchenkova retorted: 'They stole the game from me, they stole it.' Pavlyuchenkova shows her frustration (Getty Images) Ultimately, Pavlyuchenkova broke Kartal's serve as the latter failed to close out the set, and the Russian went on to earn a straight-sets win. Yet imagine she had lost the first set, especially in the game after ELC's error. Imagine she had lost the match. Advertisement Again, some observers might claim this could have occurred in years gone by, with a human line judge making the mistake. Yet at least players had the chance to challenge these calls, and not lose one of their allotted challenges if they were successful in appealing the call. Perhaps we are all sceptical right now, in a world in which new technology is seemingly causing as many problems as solutions. Perhaps there's something a bit too Terminator about the rise of these machines. Indeed, having to specify 'human' line judges multiple times is a jarring move for a Monday morning. Ironically, Wimbledon's apology included a mention of 'human error'. 'The live ELC system relies on the Hawk-Eye operators, the review official and the technology to work in harmony. 'This did not happen,' said a spokesperson. 'In this instance, there was a human error and, as a consequence, we have fully reviewed our processes and made the appropriate changes. We continue to have full confidence in the accuracy of the ball-tracking technology.' Umpire Nico Helworth figuring out how to tackle the issue on court (AP) So, a human is still to blame for a mistake that could have been oh so costly? Or would the removal of a seemingly convoluted electronic system have at least cut out the electronic middleman, simplifying the whole process? You could argue all day, fizzing a fuzzy, verbal tennis ball over the net back and forth. Or you could admit that there was never really anything wrong with how things used to be.
