Nicki Minaj has pulled out of a concert in Saudi Arabia for what organizers call “personal reasons.”  Nicki was set to perform at the Jeddah World Fest along with Liam Payne and Steve Aoki July 18.  The festival says a new round of artists will be announced soon.
 
 
 
 
Do you remember Kim Kardashians Met Gala dress?  Well, the rumor is that it would have been impossible for the curvy Kardashian to fit in the Thierry Mugler mini dress. The social media world was so shocked they theorized she may have removed ribs to pull off the look. Kim responds to the rumors by saying she has "never felt pain like that in her life," she further distances herself from the rumors by adding "I'll have to show you pictures of the aftermath when I took the dress off -- the indentations on my back and my stomach."  Notice she never said she didn't have ribs removed.... Hmmm.

“Friends” is leaving us.  The TV classic that is one of Netflix’s biggest draws is being pulled from the streaming service to go to a different streaming service, the WarnerMedia-owned HBO Max. WarnerMedia just announced the name of their new streaming service, and while they did that they announced which shows would be coming with them and leaving Netflix.  Other shows include “Pretty Little Liars,” “Riverdale,” and “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.”  That’s the bad news. The good news is that this doesn’t affect international rights, so will the UAE keep these shows?  That’s a fantastic question.

We know some new things about the Game of Thrones prequel that is currently shooting in northern Ireland. Author George RR Martin revealed that the show takes place about 5000 years before the events of the original series.  The Stark family will still be around, as will direwolves and White Walkers.  Also, Westeros is divided into about 100 kingdoms, so expect a massive ensemble cast.

And Emmy-winning actor Rip Torn has died at the age of 88.  A lot of people may remember him as the “last suit you’ll ever wear” boss in “Men in Black,” but he’d been acting for more than 60 years.
