Madonna takes train into New Haven for Yale Center for British Art exhibit
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — Madonna graced New Haven with her presence last week, visiting the new exhibit of a friend and fellow artist. The iconic pop singer posted to Instagram Thursday, saying she took the train to Yale University to see 'Tracey Emin: I Loved You Until The Morning' at the Yale Center for British Art. Paige Bueckers celebrates championship win with Jimmy Fallon In the post, she revealed a love for trains and for Emin, who she's known since her daughter Lourdes 'Lola' Leon was a child. 'I have enormous respect and admiration for her. She's the 21st century Frida Kahlo,' Madonna mused about Emin. Madonna also said she loved being on the Yale campus and didn't want to leave being surrounded by 'so many great minds.' 'I wanted to stay and get my PhD. Can you guess in what subject?' she asked her Instagram following.

'With honesty and deep feeling, her art draws on her personal experiences of illness, intimacy, and sexuality to confront broader concerns about women's bodies and health,' the museum states. This exhibit is the first major presentation of the artist's work in a North American museum. It features paintings dating back to 2007. Emin's work will be on display through Aug. 10, 2025.

Weezer's Scott Shriner to Perform at Coachella Amid Wife's Attempted Murder Arrest
Weezer bassist Scott Shriner is still set to perform with the band at Coachella despite an incident earlier this week where his wife was shot by police and arrested on attempted murder charges, a source close to the band tells Rolling Stone. According to the news release from the Los Angeles Police Department, the incident occurred Tuesday afternoon, April 8, after California Highway Patrol requested backup in locating three misdemeanor hit-and-run suspects who fled into a residential neighborhood of Eagle Rock in Los Angeles. LAPD officers approached the back of a home where one of the suspects was seen running, and Jillian Lauren Shriner reportedly appeared in the yard of a nearby residence, armed with a handgun.

'At that point, there were some commands given, multiple commands to drop the gun, drop the weapon, unfortunately, it did result in an officer-involved shooting,' Detective Meghan Aguilar said at a press conference Wednesday. Shriner and a babysitter eventually left the residence and surrendered to the police; Shriner was taken to a nearby hospital and treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. A 9 mm handgun was recovered from her residence. Jillian Lauren Shriner, an author with two New York Times bestsellers, was later booked on attempted murder charges — police allege she fired her weapon at them before she was shot — and after arraignment, was released on $1 million bail. Despite the incident, as the saying goes, the show must go on, and Weezer — who themselves were a late addition to the Coachella lineup as a replacement for FKA Twigs — proceeded with their festival obligation. Neither Weezer nor Shriner have publicly commented on the incident. Weezer are still set for a number of other festivals, including Kilby Block Party next month, Soundside in September, and When We Were Young in October. Over the summer, they're scheduled for a slew of festival dates in Europe, including U.K.'s Glastonbury festival.
