Neil Young invites Trump to summer tour, ‘if there is not martial law by then'
Neil Young has extended an invitation to President Donald Trump to attend his upcoming 'Love Earth' summer tour, though with a pointed caveat: 'If there is not martial law by then.' The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, who has been feuding with Trump for years, made the offer Tuesday, June 3, in a post on the Neil Young Archives. 'When I tour the USA this summer, if there is not martial law by then which would make it impossible, let's all come together and stand for American values,' Young wrote. 'We will not be doing a political show. We will be playing the music we love for all of us to enjoy together. President Trump, you are invited. Come and hear our music just as you did for decades.' While the invitation may sound conciliatory, it reads more like a provocation. Trump was once a vocal admirer of Young, attending his shows and praising his performances. 'He's got something very special,' Trump told Rolling Stone in 2008, recalling Young's concerts at Madison Square Garden and his performances at Trump casinos. 'I've met him on occasions and he's a terrific guy.' Their relationship soured after Trump launched his presidential campaign and began using Young's song 'Rockin' in the Free World' at rallies without permission. In his latest message, Young warned, 'Our country and our way of life, that which our fathers and theirs fought for, is now threatened by our government. This is not what we voted for. This is our new reality. Our government is out of control, not standing for us. You can stand up for American values this summer, for our children and theirs.' Young's remarks come amid Trump's escalating conflict with musicians, including Bruce Springsteen, who recently criticized the former president during a concert in England. Trump has since called for investigations into artists like Beyoncé, Bono, and likely Young, over baseless claims of illegal campaign support for Vice President Kamala Harris. 'Bruce Springsteen and many others will be in our country this summer, there for you, playing your favorite music, songs like 'Born in the USA,'' Young added. 'We are proud to be who we are, and we must never let our government forget.' Young, who previously worried he might be barred from re-entering the U.S. over his criticism of Trump, is set to begin his 'Love Earth World Tour' in Europe this month, with North American dates following in August.

Lip Liner Is Back— And It's Bolder Than Ever
Once a 90s makeup staple that slowly faded into the background like dial-up internet and butterfly clips, lip liner is suddenly having a major main character moment. And no, it's not just lurking quietly beneath your lipstick anymore—it's standing alone, loud and proud, often several shades darker and sassier than the lip it outlines. Paridhi Goel, Co - founder Love Earth shares how lip liner is back and why it's bolder than ever. From Faux Pas to Fashion Power Move, Let's rewind: The 90s lip liner look was bold, unblended, and often questionable. Think dark brown outlines paired with frosty nude lips, worn unapologetically by the cool girls of the era. Eventually, the trend faded, buried under layers of gloss, balm stains, and "no-makeup" makeup. But trends don't die, they hibernate. Fast forward to today, and lip liner has emerged from its chrysalis, sleeker, smarter, and more versatile. What used to be a supporting act is now a star performer. Thanks to TikTok tutorials, beauty influencers, and runway revivals, lip liner is enjoying its second coming—and it's more refined, inclusive, and fun than ever. Why the Sudden Revival? Because lip liner isn't just lining lips anymore—it's sculpting, contouring, volumizing, and most importantly, empowering. This tiny pencil has become a tool of optical illusion. Want fuller lips without fillers? Lip liner. Want a lifted cupid's bow? Lip liner. Want to reshape your lip symmetry, match a bold eye, or go full monochrome? You guessed it—lip liner. In a beauty culture that's shifting from filters to real skin and from perfection to play, lip liner gives us control and creativity. But perhaps the real reason lip liner is trending again? It's fun. Playful. Artistic. In a world where makeup is increasingly about self-expression rather than perfection, lip liner gives us a low-commitment, high-reward way to play with our look. Today's lip liner looks are all about contrast, comfort, and cleverness. And let's talk shades. That old-school brown liner with a nude center? It's back. And better. Today's brown tones are richer, rosier, and more versatile, creating dimension rather than drama. Match it with a gloss for a juicy, throwback vibe or pair with a matte lipstick for a modern power pout. The key? Contrast with confidence. Even better, beauty brands have jumped on the comeback train, reinventing liners with velvety textures, built-in blenders, and hues for every skin tone. Today's lip liners are creamier, more pigmented, and long-wearing. They come in nudes, berries, browns, bricks, and everything in between. Lip liner isn't just makeup—it's a movement. A celebration of nostalgia mixed with innovation. A reminder that bold is beautiful, even when it's drawn on with a pencil. So sharpen your liners, overline your lips, and don't be afraid to step just outside the lines. Because this trend isn't just back—it's rewriting the rules of beauty, one lip at a time.

Eddie Vedder and Neil Young speak out in support of Bruce Springsteen amid Trump attacks
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder has defended Bruce Springsteen during a concert amid attacks by Donald Trump on the legendary singer. Vedder spoke out in support of Springsteen during the band's show at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, saying: '(Trump's) response had nothing to do with the issues. They didn't talk about one of those issues, they didn't have a conversation about one of those issues. They didn't debate about any one of those issues. All that we heard were personal attacks and threats that nobody else should try to use their microphones or voice in public or they'll be shut down.' He continued: 'Now that's not allowed in this country that we call America. Part of free speech is open discussion. Part of democracy is healthy public discourse. The name-calling is so beneath us. Bruce has always been as pro-American with his values and liberty, and his justice has always remained intact. And I'm saying this now to be sure this freedom to speak will still exist in a year or two when we come back to this microphone.' Springsteen previously called Trump's administration 'corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous' during the opening night of his European tour on 14 May. In response, Trump ranted online about Springsteen, calling The Boss a 'dried out prune' and threatened the musician by saying Springsteen 'ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country.' The American Federation of Musicians responded to Trump's comments, with the organisation's president Tino Gagliardi saying: 'Musicians have the right to freedom of expression, and we stand in solidarity with all our members.' Since then, Trump has called for an investigation into Springsteen and his support for Kamala Harris. He also criticised Beyoncé and Bono. Adding his name to list of Springsteen defenders is veteran American legend Neil Young, who previously shared his fears about being barred from returning to the US after criticising Trump. Yesterday (20 May), Young shared a new blog post on the Neil Young Archives website, where he defended Springsteen and Taylor Swift, who Trump has also slammed. 'Bruce and thousands of musicians think you are ruining America. You worry about that instead of the dyin' kids in Gaza. That's your problem. I am not scared of you. Neither are the rest of us.' He continued: 'You shut down FEMA when we needed it most. That's your problem Trump. STOP THINKING ABOUT WHAT ROCKERS ARE SAYING. Think about saving America from the mess you made.' 'Taylor Swift is right. So is Bruce. You know how I feel. You are more worried about yourself than AMERICA. Wake up Trump!! Remember what the White House is?' He finished his blog entry by writing: 'You are forgetting your real job. You work for us. Wake up Republicans! This guy is out of control. We need a real president!' Neil Young is set to return to Europe this summer as part of his 'Love Earth' world tour, which includes dates at Glastonbury and a headline slot at BST Hyde Park.

Neil Young is set to return to Europe this summer as part of his 'Love Earth' world tour, which includes dates at Glastonbury and a headline slot at BST Hyde Park. George Wendt, the American actor whose unassuming charm and impeccable comic timing made him a household name as the beer-loving Norm Peterson on the iconic 1980s sitcom Cheers, has died. He was 76. His family said he died early Tuesday morning (20 May), peacefully in his sleep while at home, according to the publicity firm The Agency Group. 'George was a doting family man, a well-loved friend and confidant to all of those lucky enough to have known him,' the family said in a statement. 'He will be missed forever.' Following news of his death, heartfelt tributes have poured in from his Cheers co-stars. Ted Danson who played Cheers owner Sam Malone said in a statement: 'I am devastated to hear that Georgie is no longer with us. I'm sending all my love to Bernadette and the children. It's going to take me a long time to get used to this. I love you, Georgie." Rhea Perlman, who starred as barmaid Carla Tortelli, said: 'George Wendt was the sweetest, kindest man I ever met. It was impossible not to like him. As Carla, I was often standing next to him, as Norm always took the same seat at the end of the bar, which made it easy to grab him and beat the crap out of him at least once a week. I loved doing it and he loved pretending it didn't hurt. What a guy! I'll miss him more than words can say.' Wendt earned six consecutive Emmy nominations for his role on Cheers, which began in 1982 and ran for 11 seasons. Set in a cozy basement bar in Boston, the show followed the lives of the bar's staff and its loyal regulars - a mismatched group of quirky, lovable characters. The ensemble cast included Wendt, and the likes of Ted Danson, Shelley Long, Rhea Perlman, Kelsey Grammer, Woody Harrelson, and numerous special guest appearances from Boston Red Sox baseball legend Wade Boggs and Friends star Lisa Kudrow. Cheers spun off another megahit in 'Frasier' and was nominated for an astounding 117 Emmy Awards, winning 28 of them. Wendt's Norm was the lovable, henpecked beer-loving accountant who took up the same barstool every episode. His entrances were greeted by a joyous call of 'Norm!' from those in the bar and he always had a dry quip ready when asked how he was doing. The actor famously auditioned for Cheers with a single line: 'My agent said, 'It's a small role, honey. It's one line. Actually, it's one word.' The word was 'beer.' I was having a hard time believing I was right for the role of 'the guy who looked like he wanted a beer.' So I went in, and they said, 'It's too small a role. Why don't you read this other one?' And it was a guy who never left the bar,' Wendt told GQ in an oral history of Cheers. 'George Wendt's work showcased how comedy can create indelible characters that feel like family. Over the course of 11 seasons, he brought warmth and humor to one of television's most beloved roles,' National Comedy Center Executive Director Journey Gunderson said in a statement. After Cheers, Wendt appeared on shows like Portlandia and The Ghost Whisperer, and even competed on The Masked Singer in 2023. On stage, he starred in Broadway productions of Hairspray, the Tony Award-winning Art, and Elf, and toured nationally in 12 Angry Men.
