Find Out Which State Won American Song Contest

One state has reigned musically supreme!

After representatives from all 50 states, four territories and Washington D.C. competed for a chance at songwriting supremacy, American Song Contest finally picked a winner on the May 9 episode. 

The festivities kicked off with performances from the show’s two hosts, Kelly Clarkson and Snoop Dogg. Kelly performed “Whole Lotta Woman,” which pays tribute to her Texas roots, and Snoop performed “Who I Am? (What’s My Name).”

But then it was time to get down to business.

All ten finalists performed their original songs one final time—except for Washington’s Allen Stone, who wasn’t able to participate due to “personal reasons”—in a last chance to grab votes from the juried panel and viewers at home.

Voting was being tabulated in real time throughout the show.

Highlights included Grammy winner Michael Bolton representing his home state of Connecticut with his song “Beautiful World,” former The Voice winner Jordan Smith repping for Kentucky with his ballad “Sparrow” and Tennessee country crooner Tyler Braden‘s performance of “Seventeen.”

Harry Styles Reflects on Starting Therapy After One Direction Hiatus

It’s not the same as it was for Harry Styles.

The “As It Was” singer opened up on his mental health in a new extended digital version of his profile with Better Homes & Garden, explaining that he was reluctant to start therapy because he feared being a music industry cliché.

“I thought it meant that you were broken,” he told the publication. “I wanted to be the one who could say I didn’t need it.”

The 28-year-old began therapy five years ago and started to “open up rooms within himself,” he said. Explaining how he would “emotionally coast” instead of fully understanding his emotions prior to seeking therapy, Harry continued, “I think that accepting living, being happy, hurting in the extremes, that is the most alive you can be.”

He added, “Losing it crying, losing it laughing—there’s no way, I don’t think, to feel more alive than that.”

In his interview, Harry also shared that some of his trauma comes from his time being in One Direction.According to the former boybander, he previously sought to please people and felt he had to keep up a friendly persona to be likable. He said it wasn’t until he signed a contract for his 2017 self-titled solo album that he “felt free.”

Chris Evans Debuts Facial Hair Transformation: See the Before & After

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

Chris Evans showed off his new baby-face look on Instagram after parting with the facial hair he’s been sporting for an upcoming film role.

“Before and after,” he captioned two snaps of himself—one of him with a mustache and in a NASA ball cap, and another of him clean-shaved and wearing a sweater along with a California-flag hat.

The actor grew the retro facial-hair style for his role in Netflix’s upcoming spy thriller The Gray Man, in which he plays a Lloyd Hansen, a villainous CIA agent, alongside Ryan Gosling, Regé-Jean Page and his Knives Out co-star Ana de Armas. The film drops on the streaming platform July 15.

Last month, Chris shared a selfie featuring his mustache was fully on display, along with bloody makeup from the movie set. His cheeky caption? “Long day at the office.”

It’s unclear when the 40-year-old busted out the clippers, but, on May 5, he was back to rockin’ a full beard on the set of another upcoming film, Ghosted, in Washington, D.C..

Nick Cave is mourning the loss of his son Jethro Lazenby.

The musician confirmed in a statement to NBC that the 31-year-old died this week

“With much sadness, I can confirm that my son, Jethro, has passed away,” Nick, 64, shared through his manager Brian Message. “We would be grateful for family privacy at this time.” 

No cause of death has been released.

Jethro’s passing comes seven years after Nick’s son Arthur, who he shares with model Susie Bick, died at 15 years old after falling from a cliff in Brighton, England. 

Raised by his mother Beau Lazenby, in Melbourne, Australia, Jethro didn’t learn that the front man for rock band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds was his father until he was around 8. 

“I haven’t had the easiest life,” he said in a 2012 interview with the Evening Standard. “It didn’t start off that great, having all this s–t with my dad and being in his shadow.”

Best deal on the product right here. Thanks QVC!”
