Not gonna happen: LANA DEL REY becomes the latest artist to cancel a tour because of illness --yesterday she announced she was bagging her upcoming UK and European tours starting next week because she's lost her voice and her doctor told her to take a month off.
New song from OZZY OSBOURNE and POST MALONE on Ozzy's new album, “Ordinary Man,” out today. The song is called “It’s a Raid,” but there's no reason given for the song (like, for instance, police presence while writing the song).
Victoria's Secret is getting rid of its CEO and selling 55 percent of the stores --or $525 million worth-- to the private-equity firm Sycamore Brands. The big problem for the company and its hundreds of stores is that it had a 12 percent drop in same-store sales during the most recent holiday season, and its stock --which traded at close to $100 in 2015-- now trades at around $24. You probably figured something was up when the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on TV was cancelled in December.
Bottoms up: Ever tried Liquid Death canned water? The company is looking to expand nationally and get distributed into retail and other outlets this year and just announced it's picked up $9 million in funding. Right now you can find it in retail chains like 7-Eleven and sold in some bars and nightclubs. But in March, Liquid Death will roll out to Whole Foods stores nationwide.
Fast food news: Krispy Kreme is rolling out Butterfinger Doughnuts for a limited time. The Butterfinger Fudge Cake Doughnut features a chocolate cake doughnut dipped in chocolate icing, topped with a Peanut Butter Chocolate Kreme and Butterfinger pieces. And the Butterfinger Original Filled Doughnut consists of an Original Glazed doughnut, filled with Peanut Butter Chocolate Kreme, dipped in Butterfinger icing and topped with Butterfinger pieces and a chocolate drizzle. You know you want one.
