Ed Sheeran opened for himself over the weekend. Singer Khalid was set to open for Ed on Saturday, but he was in a car accident (he's okay). So Ed opened for himself, playing songs from his "Subtract" album, which he normally doesn't perform at big shows.
Following the OceanGate submarine tragedy of last week, some celebrities and notable figures have come forward to say they had been invited on that particular trip. "Titanic" director James Cameron was one as well as YouTube mega-star Mr. Beast, who explained, "I was invited earlier this month to ride the titanic submarine, I said no.

Lizzo is giving back to young Black students at her alma mater, the University of Houston. Lizzo is offering a brand new scholarship in honor of Juneteenth, a $50,000 "Sasha Be Flooting Scholarship."

Now I get to pay it forward."
Beyoncé nearly had a wardrobe malfunction at her show in Germany, but one of her dancers caught it before it blew up. One of Les Twins jumped in front of her and started dancing with her to block the view and help her readjust. Kudos to whichever twin it was.
Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian revealed the gender of their baby over the weekend with a literal drumroll, and it's a boy!

Travis and his ex Shanna Moakler share 24-year-old Atiana, 19-year-old son Landon, and 17-year-old daughter Alabama.
Things are falling aport for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry when it comes to their podcasts. Taylor Swift reportedly declined an invitation from Meghan Markle to appear on her podcast "Archetypes," while Harry was apparently supposed to create his own podcasts as part of his deal, but none were ever made. He wanted to interview controversial figures like Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin, among others, with some of his ideas including talking about fatherhood or having his guests open up about their childhood trauma. Fun. Meghan only had one season of "Archetypes" banked, with 13 episodes. No word on how much of that initial $20 million deal they're going to lose.
Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, is recovering after having breast cancer surgery, according to the BBC. Sources say she underwent a single mastectomy. Her doctors have told her that the prognosis is good.
During her concert in Minneapolis, Taylor Swift decided to play "Dear John," which many fans say is about John Mayer. In regards to re-releasing her album "Speak Now," Taylor said, "I'm 33 years old. I don't care about anything that happened to me when I was 19. I'm not putting this album out so you can go on the internet and defend me against someone you think I wrote a song about 14 million years ago." John must finally be breathing a sigh of relief now that Taylor's called her fans off him.
