"Piano Man" singer Billy Joel has lost 50 pounds! He showed it off at a concert at Madison Square Garden just a few days ago. Last month, Billy revealed that he had lost 50 lbs. after undergoing back surgery earlier this year because "the pain afterward was so bad I lost my appetite." Then, he added, "I embraced that. I said, 'Okay, I won't eat as much,' and I ate less and less and less and less and then there was just life aggravation and that tends to, you know, impact your appetite, too."

After Variety reported that Travis Scott would be refunding all Astroworld Festival concertgoers, fans said that's not enough. Many pointed out that Travis has a history of riling his fans up at events and encouraging it ahead of time on social media. Even hours before the show, fans were already acting out as they stormed the gates and rushed through the security checkpoints. There was even a promotional video from earlier this year on the official Astroworld Fest Instagram account, which showed a bunch of clips of the chaos from 2019, where some people were trampled while trying to get in. Travis had captioned it, "Thanks to everybody that pulled up to rage!!!" His gesture now, according to one fan, is empty considering, "The concert was insured. This isn't an act of kindness. This is a PR stunt." Someone else pointed out, "Trauma is something money can't fix."
Meghan Markle's estranged brother, Thomas Markle Jr., has had a change of heart when it comes to his sister. On Monday's episode of Australia's "Big Brother VIP," Thomas Jr. said he was sorry about "the awful, mean letter" he wrote to Harry ahead of their wedding, saying that Meghan was "obviously not the right woman," accusing her of playing "the part of a princess like a below C average Hollywood actress," and adding of his "very shallow" sister, "I think she's going to ruin your life." He explained the reason he trashed her was because he was "very hurt and confused because of the amazing bond and relationship we shared growing up together." He said it was also really hard for his family to become famous and lose their privacy practically overnight. But now, he says, "Meg, if I could really turn the clock back, I would truly tell you that I am so, so proud of you and truly I am so happy for you and Harry. And I love you. I truly hope you and Harry find it in your hearts somehow to accept my sincere apology because this is the real Tom Markle Jr. I truly love you guys and I want you to know that about me."

Ye has a lot to say, but Kim Kardashian wants him to stop talking. According to Hollywood Life, a source said, "Kim just wants Kanye to stop talking about her and the kids. Everything he is doing now is unscripted and embarrassing. She's not above sending a cease-and-desist letter. It's not what [she] wants to do, but it may be what she has to do." Now, even though Ye says he wants to get back with his someday-to-be ex, he's keeping his 44-year-old self busy dating 22-year-old model Vinetria. It's kind of like how 41-year-old Kim is spending her free time these days with 27-year-old Pete Davidson. All this math is hurting my head so bad.

Travis Scott was personally warned by police that the crowd at Astroworld was dangerous, yet he choose to ignore the message. Sources told The New York Times that Houston police chief Troy Finner stopped by Travis' trailer before the show. He told Travis that he had concerns about the security as the crowd was already starting to get unruly. He added that the "energy in the crowd" was out of control. In Travis' defense, his team claims the chief never asked him to shut down the show, and it went on despite Travis not being aware of the situation unfolding in the crowd. Read more with Radar. Considering there was a similar situation of an out of control crowd in 2019, Travis' team has increased security from 47 security guards at the 2019 festival to 528 at this event, according to TMZ, obviously still not enough. One person who was hired for security a few days before the festival said his role was vague and not properly explained and that he actually completed his training just a day before the festival. He said he ended up quitting because he was uncomfortable with the incompetence he witnessed, according to TMZ, and he's pretty sure he's not the only one who did.

Will Smith got a bonus from WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar over lost theatrical returns, but what he did with that bonus is surprising. He turned around and gave bonuses to his "King Richard" co-stars, including Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton, who play Venus and Serena Williams, Tony Goldwyn, Jon Bernthal, and Aunjanue Ellis. Will allegedly got upwards of $40 million, so it sounds like there was plenty to share, like Oprah level sharing.
