NEW YORK, July 17 — Connie Francis, the legendary pop singer behind timeless hits like Stupid Cupid, Where the Boys Are, and the recently TikTok-viral Pretty Little Baby, has passed away at the age of 87.
As reported by Variety.com, the news was confirmed by her long-time friend and Concetta Records president, Ron Roberts, who shared the announcement on Francis' official social media account.
The post read: 'It is with a heavy heart and extreme sadness that I inform you of the passing of my dear friend Connie Francis last night. I know that Connie would approve that her fans are among the first to learn of this sad news.'
He added that more details would follow later.
According to People.com, the announcement came shortly after a Fourth of July post from Francis, in which she had reassured fans that she was 'feeling much better after a good night', just days after being hospitalised. On July 2, she informed her followers that she was 'back in the hospital' undergoing tests to determine the cause of the severe pain she had been experiencing.
Francis was a dominant force in the 1950s and early 1960s music scene, with chart-topping hits such as Who's Sorry Now?, Where the Boys Are, and Don't Break the Heart That Loves You. In 1960, she made history by becoming the first female artist to score a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with Everybody's Somebody's Fool.

How a video studio embraced AI and stormed the Internet

US President Donald Trump leans forward in a limousine, takes a long puff from a cigarette and flashes a wide grin. An aggressive rap song blasts over the stereo as a group of young women bob around him. No one would mistake the otherworldly scene for reality – and they shouldn't, because it was made by artificial intelligence. Yet it caused a stir when it was released online last year, skewering Trump, former Vice President Kamala Harris and others using lifelike AI replicas, soaring to more than 16 million views on YouTube. It was the biggest hit yet by the Dor Brothers, a video production studio that has gained notoriety online – along with more than 100 million views across platforms – by fully embracing AI. The studio is now among the most popular AI-powered artists on the internet for its roster of subversive videos released on YouTube and then circulated rapidly across social media, which are made entirely by AI tools. It said its revenue crossed US$1mil (RM4.24mil) last year for its commercial projects, including consulting work for brands that are increasingly curious about AI. Joe Rogan, the world's most popular podcaster, called the studio's work 'incredible.' Its videos have attracted plenty of criticism, too, with some viewers dismissing the work as 'AI slop.' Rival AI studios have made work with clearer commercial appeal – like one studio that made a Toys 'R' Us commercial last year – while others have made short films that rival Hollywood productions, including a gripping retelling of a Ukrainian drone strike that Variety compared to Mission: Impossible. The Dor Brothers and other so-called AI artists are part of an explosive new era for video – one that wants to do away with the cameras, set designers, makeup artists and even actors who have long been essential for films and television shows. Within the next few years, they expect the tools will give any artists with a vision and a keyboard the power to make whatever videos they can imagine. 'It's obvious, things are shifting and changing,' Yonatan Dor, the 28-year-old head of the studio, said in an interview from Lisbon, Portugal. 'We need to adapt as a species to the technology.' Many artists loathe AI-powered image generators and video creators, saying they produce cheap imitations of art by plagiarising the copyrighted material the machines are trained on. (The New York Times has sued OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, for copyright infringement.) AI artists like Yonatan Dor argue that the tools are actually a purer form of expression, offering the most direct link between the artist's brain and the end result, without the compromises required in large productions or the constraints that come with complex shoots. 'The only thing that will matter is creative ideas, unique ideas, unique creators,' Dor said about the future of AI video. 'The rest will be irrelevant.' There are signs that the art world is catching up to the AI boom. Runway, an AI video company, held its third annual film festival this year at New York City's Lincoln Center, assembling a jury of film industry veterans. The Dor Brothers' work may seem juvenile in comparison: This year's winning entry offered a mesmerizing essay on the nature of art itself, called 'Total Pixel Space'. Everything from the video to the transfixing narration was made by AI. 'If you count the amount of people making professional feature films that are exhibiting at, like, the Lincoln Center, it's not that many,' Cristóbal Valenzuela, CEO of Runway, said in an interview. 'I think we're getting to a point where there's going to be way more people, like billions of people, who are able to do that.' The Dor Brothers – who include Dor and four full-time staff members and scores of freelancers – have focused on videos that are far more subversive and Internet-friendly than what's seen on the festival circuit. Dor described it as an 'old-school '90s MTV' mentality. 'We're just going to do what we want to do,' he said. 'Take it or leave it.' Dor got his start making videos the old-fashioned way, with film crews and expensive budgets. He stumbled onto an early AI image generator in early 2022 and became hooked on the technology, believing it could bring his creative ideas to life without the hassle of film production. He spent eight to 12 hours a day creating AI images, selling his services online. When the next generation of generators came out, allowing users to turn text and images into full videos, Dor was in the perfect position to capitalise. In 'Influenders', an AI-generated video the studio released in May, the Dor Brothers created a world where war was wreaking havoc across America. Dor populated his scenes with AI-generated social media influencers who narrate the proceedings with an eerie enthusiasm – a satirical commentary on today's omnipresent influencer culture. 'It all starts with old-school creativity,' Dor said. 'We come up with an idea – sometimes through brainstorming; other times it just hits someone on the team and we develop it together. Once we have the concept, we begin testing.' Their process starts with a chatbot like ChatGPT, where they ask the AI system to create prompts for videos based on some basic instructions. The chatbot offers a mix of ideas, and the AI artists select and edit their favorites. They input those prompts into a video generator like Runway or Google's Veo 3. The systems typically spit out a few versions at a time, giving the studio a chance to suggest tweaks or try again. They sometimes try hundreds of versions before a video is complete, Dor said. Dor's latest projects include Vorex, a sci-fi action trailer reminiscent of The Matrix, and The Fountain, a gruesome six-minute film about a crew of sailors who are attacked by bloodthirsty mermaids. They both have the makings of real productions that could one day air on television. That is, if they're embraced by audiences as more than 'AI slop'. Dor expects that, in the near future, the tools will allow him to upload specific characters – a voice, a face, a wardrobe – and be able to animate a consistent version of the AI person through different scenes. 'Then every time you generate, it will have a similar voice, it will look the same,' Dor said. 'And then we're really starting to compete with Hollywood.' – ©2025 The New York Times Company This article originally appeared in The New York Times.

‘Do your makeup now!' Chris Martin jokes about Coldplay's ‘kiss cam' chaos after viral ‘affair' clip

MADISON, July 20 — Chris Martin is leaning into the kiss cam chaos that made headlines this week — cracking jokes about it during Coldplay's latest 'Music of the Spheres' tour stop in Madison, Wisconsin. 'We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd and put some of you on the big screen,' the 48-year-old frontman told fans at Camp Randall Stadium yesterday, according to fan-shot footage. 'How we're going to do that is we're going to use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.' With a laugh, he added: 'Please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now!' Martin's playful jab came just days after a Coldplay show in Foxborough, Massachusetts, where the band's kiss cam unexpectedly sparked an online storm. On July 16, Andy Byron — then-CEO of data company Astronomer — was caught on the jumbotron with his arms around Kristin Cabot, the company's Chief People Officer. The awkward part? Byron is married to someone else. Reacting in real time, Martin quipped on stage: 'Whoa, look at these two. Alright, come on. You're OK! Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy. I'm not quite sure what to do.' He followed up with: 'Holy s***. I hope we didn't do something bad.' Despite the couple ducking for cover after spotting themselves on the big screen, the moment was captured by a fan and quickly went viral on TikTok. Astronomer launched a 'formal investigation' into the matter on Thursday, initially placing Byron on temporary leave before announcing his resignation yesterday — the same day Coldplay performed in Wisconsin. 'Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' a spokesman for the company told Us Weekly. 'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.' As the company begins searching for a new CEO, Coldplay's kiss cam lives on — this time with a warning from Martin himself.

Katy Perry nearly thrown off flying butterfly prop after it malfunctions mid-air in San Francisco (VIDEO)

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20 — Katy Perry experienced a mid-performance scare on Friday night when a giant butterfly prop she was riding malfunctioned and jerked suddenly while suspended above the crowd in San Francisco. According to CNN, the incident took place during her performance of the 2013 anthem Roar at the Chase Centre, part of her ongoing Lifetimes Tour. Audience videos posted on social media show Perry mid-song as the winged platform she was rigged to gave an unexpected lurch. The singer immediately paused, looked up at the dangling rig, and briefly steadied herself before resuming the performance. Despite the sudden jolt, Perry appeared composed, smiling as she swung slightly and then continued singing, much to the crowd's relief and cheers. @itssteefunny Malfunction during Roar at Katy Perry concert in San Francisco.

She, too, escaped unscathed and was promptly lowered to the ground, according to her management team.
