Calling her latest album Heidiwood isn't too much of a stretch for someone who has managed a steady seat at the celebrity table. First finding fame in 2006 after being cast on the MTV reality TV series The Hills, the American personality and singer has maintained a presence both onscreen and online. When Montag began dating fellow The Hills cast member Spencer Pratt, the celebrity couple dubbed 'Speidi' was born. Married in 2009, the two have been fixtures of reality television in both the U.S. and U.K. on programs ranging from Famous Food to Celebrity Big Brother U.K. From feuds with beloved English presenter Rylan Clark to swapping partners with Olympic athlete Amanda Beard and husband Sascha Brown on Celebrity Wife Swap, missteps are rarely something these two make. Although, it looked like Heidi had made a mistake releasing her 2010 debut album Superficial. Poorly-received by critics and fans alike, the move into music didn't trend well. But over the decades, the record achieved cult status. In 2023, 13 years after its original release, the single I'll Do It went viral on TikTok. When the couple's house was destroyed in the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles, Pratt put out a call to fans to stream Superficial to help the couple generate income to rebuild. The single No Going Home delves into the loss. Essential reading for hockey fans who eat, sleep, Canucks, repeat. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

It hit #1 on Jan. 12, 2025. Obviously, the moment had arrived to return to music and Montag released Heidiwood in May. She visits Vancouver this week for the Cum Together: Sweet & Sticky event with Heidi Montag on Aug. 2 at Celebrities Nightclub at 7 p.m. Tickets at She is touring Pride events across North America to support the record and chatted about this latest 'comeback.' You have been on the forefront of reality TV for almost two decades. How hard is it to repeatedly 'keep it real'? A: You know, it's a very challenging market landscape, with the balance of your reality, my reality and what everyone else is going through. I feel that it continues to change with social media and shifting situations in the world. People want both less and more of it, and that makes it quite tricky.

After putting so much into Superficial and building that cult following since 2010. There is the previous and new generation of people who are listening to and really enthusiastic about my music and it's great. I love hardcore pop, which I mostly listen to when I'm working out, and the escapism it provides. I'll Do It received a second go-round on TikTok, then No Going Home really captured your experiences losing your home in the Palisades fire. Is it hard to channel personal tragedy into tunes? It was really hard to get through writing it through tears streaming down my face. And recording it was equally hard. If I can help anyone through my experience, in any way, it's something I want to do. You don't realize how many people go through similar things and a lot of people have reached out telling me it really helped them, which is wonderful. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. My biggest fan base, from the beginning, has been the community and my entire team is gay. So not only am I performing for the community, which is dear to my heart, but also some of the people I'm closest with. What is the next move for Heidi Montag? Right now, I just want people to be able to come and enjoy that 'pop 2000s' feel of my music and show. I am previewing my new single on tour and I have another full album done. I think they are my best songs to date and an incredible followup for Heidiwood, which was a big evolution. It's quintessential pop and I'm absolutely loving being back performing. So everyone get ready — because it's going to be a real good time. sderdeyn@ Read More Love concerts, but can't make it to the venue?

WATCH — Chappell Roan name-drops Saskatchewan in new song
Her new song, The Subway, comes out July 31 Chappell Roan might call herself the Midwest Princess, but could she be the new queen of Saskatchewan? The Grammy Award-winning pop star name-drops the Prairie province in her soon-to-be-released single, The Subway. The song is about dealing with a bad breakup. Roan sings that if she can't get over it, 'I'm moving to Saskatchewan.' Roan announced on her Instagram account Monday that the song comes out on July 31. Saskatchewanian fans — and even the mayor of the capital, Regina — say they're thrilled with the shout-out, and even want Roan to make an official tour stop in the province. Click play and leave it to KN Contributor Maya Endale to explain: ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Wait a minute. Saskatchewan? The Prairie province isn't normally the kind of place that shows up in pop songs. 'A win for us from Saskatchewan for once,' one person commented on a teaser video for the track. Others said her first tour stop should be in Regina. The mayor of Regina, Chad Bachynski, said he was 'thrilled' about the mention. 'It's not every day that a Grammy-winning artist gives Saskatchewan a lyrical shoutout,' he told CBC Kids News in an email. 'It's a fun moment, and we welcome it with open arms.' Tourism Saskatchewan is also happy with the mention. 'We're excited to see Chappell Roan fans discovering Saskatchewan through the song,' a spokesperson told CBC Kids News. While they can't predict whether the song will lead to increased visits to the province, they said the tourism agency is 'always happy to welcome those who choose to explore Saskatchewan.' But is she really thinking about moving to the Prairies? CBC Kids News reached out to Roan and her team and have yet to hear back. So that remains a mystery! But if Roan is considering a move, she might want to learn the correct way to pronounce the province's name first. According to Bachynski, the last syllable of 'Saskatchewan' doesn't rhyme with 'gone,' as Roan sings it in The Subway. 'It's pronounced suh-SKATCH-uh-wun. Four syllables, emphasis on the second,' he said. 'We hope Chappell will come here for a show and we can teach her first-hand!'

Karrueche Tran stayed by Deion Sanders' side during life-saving surgery. Here's more about her
Karrueche Tran attends the 2025 ESSENCE Black Women In Hollywood Awards at Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles on February 27. Tran's emotional response as she waited with NFL legend Deion Sanders for him to have surgery for bladder cancer has caused speculation that the pair are dating. (for ESSENCE/File via CNN Newsource) Karrueche Tran's emotional response as she waited with NFL legend Deion Sanders for him to have surgery for bladder cancer has caused speculation that the pair are dating. Tran appeared in a YouTube video titled 'For Your Glory: (Part 1),' which documents Sanders' treatment around his surgery, and includes the 'Claws' actress visibly emotional while at the hospital as she details what Sanders is being admitted for. The video – which includes Tran holding Sanders' hand on the way into the procedure – was shared on Monday. The pair haven't confirmed or denied the nature of their relationship, and CNN has reached out to representatives for both seeking comment. Tran, meanwhile, has a life and career beyond the internet's curiosity about her and the football player turned college football coach: She's a daytime Emmy-winning actress Tran's first listed acting gig on IMDb dates back to 2014, and she has enjoyed roles in TV shows like 'The Last O.G.' and 'Bel-Air' along with films like 'The Nice Guys' and 'Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.' But it was playing the pivotal character Virginia on the popular series 'Claws' opposite Niecy Nash-Betts that made her a more in-demand actress. From 2010 to 2024, Tran starred as Vivian Johnson-Garrett on the digital series 'The Bay,' which has won more than 20 Daytime Emmys, according to the show's site. She took home the Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a daytime fiction program in 2021. This year, she appeared in three episodes of the Paramount+ with Showtime series 'The Chi' as Zuri. She's had famous boyfriends in the past Some may recognize Tran for having had a tumultuous relationship with singer Chris Brown from 2011 to 2015. Soon after their split, she appeared on the OWN reality series 'Iyanla: Fix My Life' and talked about the betrayal she said she felt after discovering that Brown had fathered a child with another woman. The host, Iyanla Vanzant, coached her into revealing that she felt devastated because 'the man I loved hurt and betrayed me.' Tran has also dated NFL receiver Victor Cruz and Quavo, a rapper with the group Migos. Questions about her and Sanders Fans are curious as to the timeline of when Tran and Sanders became close. The outspoken former athlete's last known relationship was with Tracey Edmonds, who is the former wife of music superstar Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds and was with Sanders for over a decade. The pair were engaged for four years, but announced their split in 2023. 'We have mutually decided that it is best for us to move forward in life as friends and have made this decision with love in our hearts, respect for each other and appreciation for the time we've shared together,' they said in a joint statement posted on social media.
