Ariana Grande added Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion to her “34+35″ remix, and her +2 got all three stars to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 (so far).

The remix marked the highest-charting Hot 100 hit by a three or more women soloists in nearly 20 years, since “Lady Marmalade” by Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mya and P!nk topped the chart on 2001.

Marilyn Manson has been dropped by longtime manager Tony Ciulla following accusations of sexual and physical abuse against the rock star by his former fiancée, actor Evan Rachel Wood, and several other women, according to a new report in Rolling Stone. Manson has denied the claims.

Manson was previously dropped by his agency, CAA, and record label, Loma Vista Recordings. He is also being edited out of an upcoming episode of the Starz series American Gods, on which he has recurred this season, while AMC’s Shudder service has confirmed it will not be airing a segment of a forthcoming episode of its Creepshow TV series in which Manson appears.

Ciulla has not responded to Billboard’s request for comment.

Ciulla began managing Manson around 1996, the same year he released his breakthrough album, Antichrist Superstar. The two met while Ciulla was working at Trent Reznor’s Nothing Records in the early 1990s, when Manson’s band was signed by the label.

Though Manson and Ciulla’s professional relationship has weathered a number of serious controversies over the past 25 years, the tide appears to have turned following Wood’s accusation that Manson “horrifically abused” her for years after the two met when Wood was 18 and Manson was 36. The pair announced their relationship in Jan. 2007 and were briefly engaged in 2010.

“The name of my abuser is Brian Warner, also known to the world as Marilyn Manson,” Wood wrote on Instagram Monday. “He started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years. I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission. I am done living in fear of retaliation, slander or blackmail.”

She continued, “I am here to expose this dangerous man and call out the many industries that have enabled him, before he ruins any more lives. I stand with the many victims who will no longer be silent.”

Following Wood’s post on Monday, at least four other women also came forward with various allegations of sexual and physical abuse by Manson.

Though she did not name Manson as her abuser until this week, Wood had previously hinted at the shock rocker’s alleged abuse in both a 2016 interview with Rolling Stone (and a later Twitter post) as well as before a U.S. House Judiciary subcommittee in Feb. 2018 in support of the Sexual Assault Survivors’ Bill of Rights Act. In 2019, Wood again spoke out while testifying before California lawmakers in support of the Phoenix Act, a bill she created to expand the statute of limitations for domestic violence-related crimes from three to five years. That bill was signed into law by California Gov. Gavin Newsom in Oct. 2019 and went into effect in Jan. 2020.

Manson quickly responded to the women’s accusations on Monday with his own Instagram statement, which characterized their claims as “horrible distortions of reality.”

Since then, Manson’s ex-girlfriend Rose McGowan and ex-wife Dita Von Teese have released statements in support of the women, with McGowan specifically calling out the music industry for “protecting predators” in a video posted to Twitter.

Bop bop bop, bop to the top, slip and slide and ride that… “WAP”?

In the most unlikely mashup of all time, TikTok user @kraziibird seamlessly blended Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s raunchy Billboard Hot 100 chart topper with High School Musical’s “Bop to the Top,” performed by Ashley Tisdale and Lucas Grabeel’s characters Sharpay and Ryan.

And while the two songs could not be more different, the resulting remix is actually really, really catchy. Megan’s iconic “gobble me, swallow me” verse flows perfectly over the bouncy “Bop to the Top” beat.

@kraziibird himself was shocked at his creation. “why does it work thoooo,” he captioned his viral TikTok.

Crow Bar owner Tom DeGeorge is not in the mood to talk to the people calling about renting his Tampa bar during the Super Bowl.

“I have told every one of them no,” DeGeorge says. “One guy complained that I hadn’t even listened to his offer and my response was ‘I know, and I don’t want to hear it.’”

With local ordinances banning dance floors, reducing capacity by 75% and requiring patrons to wear face masks, DeGeorge says it’s nearly impossible to host a concert in Tampa Bay this year for the Super Bowl. And he’s OK with that.

“It’s not safe to host concerts right now at full capacity and it won’t be until we get through COVID-19,” he tells Billboard.

And yet, about a half-dozen venues in town are moving forward with performances and parties on Super Bowl weekend, including a Catholic Church hosting a tailgating party featuring Flo Rida. Hotel and club WTR Grill + Pool is hosting the biggest events, with a Thursday show by Torey Lanez, Friday show by Steve Aoki and Saturday show with Migos and Diplo playing with 50 Cent, followed by the Qvesoir nightclub in the town’s Ybor City district, which is hosting shows by Kodak Black and Lil Baby, and then the Ritz, which is planning a big Super Bowl bash hosted by Gucci Mane.

The events — which include parties hosted by Rick Ross, Boosie, City Girls and Trick Daddy — fill in a gap left by the absence of OnLocation this year, the NFL’s hospitality and live entertainment partner that was purchased by Endeavor at the beginning of the year. OnLocation decided not to host any VIP events or concerts this year due to COVID-19 and instead focus on ticket sales, which have also been slow.

Tickets are still available for nearly all concerts happening during Super Bowl weekend — as are tickets for the big game, despite a reduced capacity at host Raymond James Stadium to 22,000 (normally 65,000), with 7,500 tickets going to vaccinated health care workers, that was supposed to mean a quiet Super Bowl weekend. DeGeorge said he planned to operate the Crow Bar at 25% capacity and host a few local bands but said he has serious doubts that venues hosting big shows within Tampa’s Ybor City entertainment district will follow the capacity restrictions.

“And that really disturbs the balance of the entire evening and puts the venues that are trying to do the right thing at risk,” DeGeorge says. One problem, he explains, is that the city’s capacity restrictions aren’t being enforced by police and Alcohol and Beverage Control. Since the state’s entertainment restrictions were loosened in October by Florida Govenor Ron DeSantis, images of packed venues and nightclubs have regularly trickled out of Ybor Center — which is home to about 100 clubs, venues, restaurants and retail businesses — and ended up on social media sites and national news broadcasts.

“It can feel like the Twilight Zone here in Florida, where half the people in the state take precautions against the coronavirus and the other half just shrug it off,” DeGeorge said. 

Jesse Lawrence with TicketIQ, which sells and distributes sports tickets, said there would have likely been more concerts and events happening at the Super Bowl this year if the hometown team weren’t playing. The people who buy tickets to concerts — the shows at WTR Grill + Pool start at $250 — are often fans visiting from out of town and not locals.

“And that has a domino effect because the people who are deciding if they want to travel for the game decide not to go because they know they won’t get the full Super Bowl experience,” he said.

DeGeorge hopes locals stay home and don’t show up in search of deals, waiting for the price of some of the big tailgate parties and concerts to drop, creating unsafe conditions for the events operating at a lower capacity. 

“We really don’t know what is gonna happen with some of these concerts or if people do come out, what enforcement of the capacity issues will look like,” he said. “We’re all just nervously awaiting the weekend and will be happy when it’s over.”

Rapper Lil Yachty and Mattel are teaming on a feature adaption of the popular children’s card game Uno.

The movie is described as an action heist comedy, set in the underground hip hop world of Atlanta. Yachty is attached to produce, with an eye to star in the movie.

Marcy Kelly penned the movie, which will be produced by Mattel Films, with Quality Control’s Kevin “Coach K” Lee, Pierre “P” Thomas and Brian Sher. Mattel’s Robbie Brenner will executive produce, with Kevin McKeon overseeing for the company.

Said Brenner: “Uno is a game that transcends generations and cultures and we look forwards to partnering with Lil Yachty, as well as with Coach, P, and Brian Sher, to transform the classic UNO game into a comedic action-adventure.”

Added Yachty: “I played Uno as a kid and still do today, so to spin that into a movie based on the Atlanta hip hop scene I came out of is really special. It hits close to home for me.”

Mattel Television is teaming with Propagate founders Ben Silverman and Howard T. Owens for a reality game show for television, also based on the Uno brand. Mattel’s Hollywood projects include the Barbie movie at Warner Bros. and a Daniel Kaluuya-produced Barney feature, as well as projects based on Hot Wheels, Viewfinder, and other toys.

Yachty, repped by ICM Partners, had a starring role in MTV’s television movie How High 2.

Anne Feeney, a folk singer who collaborated with Pete Seeger, John Prine and Peter, Paul and Mary and an impassioned activist who fought for workers’ and women’s rights, died Wednesday in Pittsburgh of COVID-19 complications. She was 69.

“It is with a very heavy heart that we must announce the passing of our courageous, brilliant, beautiful mother,” her daughter, Amy Sue Berlin, wrote on Facebook. “We were very lucky that she fought hard enough to open up her eyes and give us a couple days to be with her before she finally decided it was time to let go.”

Starting in 1987, when she was inspired by folk singer and activist Faith Petric to quit her job as an attorney and dedicate her life to touring and making music in support of workers, Feeney played more than 4,000 shows across North America and Europe.

She performed for striking workers on picket lines, in union halls and at protests, including the one that shut down a World Trade Organization conference in Seattle in 1999 — she is seen in the 2000 documentary This Is What Democracy Looks Like — and another at the March for Women’s Lives held in 2004 at the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Feeney’s 2000 anthem “Have You Been to Jail for Justice?,” sung on picket lines and in jail cells around the world, is considered one of the last true folk songs. She also gave life to classic union hymns like Woody Guthrie’s “Union Maid” and Joe Hill’s “Dump the Bosses Off Your Back.”

“Anne Feeney was a deeply committed songwriter/activist in the grand tradition of Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie,” Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary said in a statement. “She was joyous and fiery in her determination to use her music to elevate those who are most marginalized and to move toward greater justice in the land. For Annie, it was a way of life. Her song ‘Have You Been to Jail for Justice?, which our trio recorded, was an anthem for all of us who joined with Annie in ‘the good fight.’”

Guitarist Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine called her “a fearless and formidable force for justice and workers’ rights onstage, in the studio and on the picket line.”

Feeney organized dozens of tours supporting various causes, including the Sing Out for Single Payer Healthcare tour in 2009, and raised tens of thousands of dollars for strike funds and progressive causes. She also served as the first female president of a musicians’ union in the U.S.

Born on July 1, 1951, in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, and raised in the Brookline neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Feeney was influenced by her grandfather William Patrick Feeney, who was a first-generation Irish immigrant and violinist who used music to support working-class organizing.

Feeney performed publicly for the first time in 1969 when she sang a Phil Ochs song at a protest against the Vietnam War. In 1972, she was arrested at the Republican National Convention while objecting to Richard Nixon’s second nomination for president.

Feeney received a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 1974 and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law four years later. She practiced as a trial lawyer for 12 years, primarily representing refugees and survivors of domestic violence.

Inspired by the group that founded “Women Organized Against Rape” in Philadelphia, she began a campaign for a rape crisis center that evolved into Pittsburgh Action Against Rape, which still provides services to survivors of sexual assault. She also served on the executive board of the Pennsylvania chapter of the National Organization of Women and as the president of the Pittsburgh Musicians’ Union from 1981-97, the only woman to hold that position.

Feeney released 12 albums during her career and shared stages with Seeger, Prine, Loretta Lynn, Toshi Reagon, The Mammals, Dan Bern, Indigo Girls and Billy Bragg. A lover of Irish music, she led annual singing tours of Ireland and was a regular at Kerrville Folk Festival, Oregon Country Fair and other major festivals.

Survivors include her son, Dan. Donations in her name may be made to the Thomas Merton Center, a social justice activist hub in Pittsburgh.

Ah, high school. The latest trend making its rounds on the Internet has us reminiscing on the days of yore, when fashion sense and common sense were at an all-time low.

A number of celebrities have taken to Twitter to share their “high school me starter pack,” a compilation of outfits, books, TV shows and hobbies that defined their teenage years.

We’ve compiled “starter packs” from Chrissy Teigen, Phoebe Bridgers and more. See below.

The Crown star Emma Corrin has joined Harry Styles in My Policeman, a romantic drama for Amazon Studios.

Michael Grandage will direct the adaptation of the Bethan Robert novel of the same name and will use an adapted screenplay by Ron Nyswaner. My Policeman will be produced by Greg Berlanti, Robbie Rogers and Sarah Schechter of Berlanti-Schechter Films, in association with Cora Palfrey and Phillip Herd at Independent Film Company and MGC.

The story takes place in the late 1990s when the arrival of elderly Patrick into Marion and Tom’s home triggers the exploration of seismic events from 40 years prior, namely a passionate relationship between Tom and Patrick at a time when homosexuality was illegal.

Styles and Corrin are set to star as Tom and Marion, respectively.

Corrin is best known for her role as Lady Diana Spencer in the fourth season of Netflix’s The Crown, which earned her Golden GlobeSAG and Critics Choice nominations. Last year, Corrin made her debut film appearance in Misbehaviour, a historical drama film where she starred alongside Keira Knightley, Keeley Hawes and Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

Corrin’s earlier TV roles include a recurring role in the 10-part Warner Brothers/EPIX series Pennyworth.

She is repped by Insight Management, Circle of Confusion and Public Eye.

Britney Spears’ social media team has had enough of the rumors surrounding the pop star’s Instagram activity amid the #FreeBritney movement.

Digital marketing company Crowd Surf’s cofounder Cassie Petrey denied speculation that Spears’ social media accounts are under strict control in a lengthy Instagram post on Tuesday (Feb. 2).

She started off by saying that she “absolutely adore[s] the Britney Spears fan base,” and knows “everything they do and say is because they truly love her.”

“Which is why it’s been easy for me to overlook some of the nasty comments that have been thrown my way over the years – because I know deep down it’s all out of love for one of the greatest pop stars of all time,” she continued, before touching on the “inaccurate theories out there about how Britney Spears’ social media operates.”

“Britney creates her own posts and writes her own captions for Instagram. She finds the google images, pinterest images, quotes, memes, and everything else herself,” Petrey wrote. “Nobody is suggesting any of that stuff to her.”

Petrey went on to note that Spears edits her own videos, or gives “specific instructions” to her team for how a clip should be edited before deciding “if she wants to post it or not.”

“Britney is not ‘asking for help’ or leaving secret messages in her social media,” the statement continued. “She is literally just living her life and trying to have fun on Instagram.”

Petrey denied that she was hired by Lou Taylor, Spears’ business manager. “This is another example of assumptions being made rather than understanding true facts.”

She also denied involvement with Spears posting about repealing New York law 50-A at the same time Crowd Surf did, and joining the star and her boyfriend Sam Asghari on vacation in Hawaii.

“Britney was told about ‘Repeal 50-A’ and she decided she wanted to post it. Nobody forced her to push any narrative she didn’t want to. Again, more assumptions with zero facts,” Petrey wrote. “I have never been to Hawaii with Britney Spears, and didn’t take any of the photos on her trips. I have my own life, and I’m perfectly capable of having a vacation without a client. Britney has never paid for me to go on any vacation with her.”

To conclude her statement, Petrey encouraged fans to “just be nice.”

“That’s all she really wants,” she wrote. “Don’t bully her. She doesn’t deserve it. She’s having fun creating posts and sharing images that she likes. That’s it. There’s not some secret agenda to it. She’s just having a good time, and I hope this helps people see it for what it actually is.”
