Ariana Grande Still Playing Benefit Concert After Last Night"s Terrorist Attack
As you’ve surely heard by now, the UK was hit by yet another terrorist attack last night.
Three men men drove a van onto London Bridge, hitting pedestrians before they jumped out and began stabbing people.
Seven people were killed and 48 were injured. The terrorists were shot and killed by police when they arrived on the scene.
It sounds absolutely horrifying, and it’s especially scary considering the Manchester attack that happened less than two weeks ago.
On May 22nd, a suicide bomber entered an Ariana Grande concert, setting off a nail bomb that killed 22 people. Countless others were injured.
Ariana was understandably devastated by what happened, but she still managed to pull together, along with her team, to plan a benefit concert for the victims and their families.
The concert will take place back in Manchester, and Ariana will perform, along with Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Take That, Coldplay, Niall Horan, Usher, Robbie Williams, Little Mix, the Black Eyed Peas, and Pharrell Williams.
Anyone who attended her original Manchester concert can get in for free, and all proceeds will go to a fund set up for the people who were injured and the families of the people who were killed.
The concert was scheduled for tonight … but will it go on in light of last night’s attack in London?
According to Ariana’s manager, Scooter Braun, absolutely it will.
Here’s the statement he released in full:
After the events last night in London, and those in Manchester just two weeks ago, we feel a sense of responsibility to honor those lost, injured, and affected.
We plan to honor them with courage, bravery, and defiance in the face of fear. Today’s One Love Manchester benefit concert will not only continue, but will do so with greater purpose.
We must not be afraid and in tribute to all those affected here and around the world, we will bring our voices and sing loudly.
I am pleased to say we have the full support of Greater Manchester Police and the government and are assured the safety of all those attending is the highest priority.
All artists involved have been unwavering in their support this morning and are determined to carry on with the show.
We ask the strong city of Manchester and the world to join us in making the statement that hatred and fear will never win. Today we stand together.
Thank you.
For their part, Manchester police have said that they’ll be thoroughly searching everyone coming into the concert.
Ariana, meanwhile, has been in Manchester for a few days, visiting her fans who were injured during the original attack.
Last night, she tweeted that she was “praying for London,” and this morning she’s been promoting tonight’s show.
The concert will be televised in several countries, and any money earned from this will also go to the victims.
It’s an amazing thing that Ariana and all these people are doing, and a very brave thing as well.
Will you be watching?

Anna Duggar: Will She Start Playing a Larger Role on Counting On?
In the nearly two years since news of the Josh Duggar sex scandals first came to light, Josh’s wife, Anna Duggar, has continued to play a significant role in her in-laws’ lives, both on and off camera.
The Duggars have gone to great lengths to keep Josh off of Counting On, and they would undoubtedly prefer that fans forget about his horrific crimes.
But they’ve also made a point of including Anna on their show, possibly as an indication that they’re not entirely sweeping the whole thing under the rug.
Anna has made tearful confessions about the tremendous emotional toll of being married to an abusive sex addict, but she’s also taken part in the more lighthearted activities that make up the bulk of the series.
For obvious reasons, the Duggars prefer the latter scenes.
Without ever expressly acknowledging Josh’s crimes, they get to give the impression that all is well and that Anna has recovered from the trauma of learning that her husband molested his sisters and used a website to search for cheating partners.
So it’s not surprising that Anna’s latest appearance on the Duggars’ web series centers around her helping to plan Jinger Duggar’s bridal shower.
Yes, the Duggars are once again mining Jinger’s wedding for fresh material.
It’s an odd choice as Jinger married Jeremy Vuolo back in November, and there have been several major developments in the family since then, but for whatever reason, the family keeps subjecting fans to endless re-hashings of the run-up to the wedding.
As with every other Duggar event, Jinger’s bridal shower was ridiculously well-attended.
“They are expecting about 80 guests, and although that sounds like a lot, it is fairly common for Duggar gatherings,” the family explained in a recent blog post.
For some reason, Anna was tasked with making the arrangements.
“I think it’s just a neat opportunity to have a day for some of her closest friends to come together and just share in the excitement of her upcoming wedding,” Anna says in the “webisode,” staying on message with a signature Duggar smile.
The choice of subject matter is particularly bizarre considering Anna is currently pregnant with her fifth child, but perhaps the Duggars are trying to avoid associating Josh Duggar with children in the minds of their viewers.
That might prove increasingly difficult, as production sources have indicated that Anna will play a larger role in the next season of her in-laws’ reality show.
Watch Counting On online to see more of the Duggars pretending all is well.

Reporter Caught Playing Pokémon GO During ISIS Press Briefing
We may have finally reached Peak Pokémon GO.
At least we sincerely hope so.
Earlier this week, a reporter was at the State Department getting an update on ISIS, the terrorist organization that has murdered countless innocent individuals around the world.
But this journalist thought there was something more important to focus on than whatever ISIS is up to these days.
And that something was… Pokémon GO.
Because of course it was.
The reporter, who has not been identified, was caught by State Department spokesperson John Kirby.
While discussing real terrorists, Kirby noticed the reporter and asked…
After Kirby was finished with the briefing, he had to get one last jab in as well.
Because how could he not, right?
Was this the worst example yet of someone playing Pokemon Go at the wrong time?
It’s hard to even say.
There was the guy who got himself arrested because he was playing the game outside a police station.
And there were the people who were playing the game at a former Nazi concentration camp.
There was also the woman who questioned her entire life as a result of playing the game.
And, finally, there are these people below.
We hate to say it, but it’s almost as if ISIS has already won.

Wanted Man Arrested While Playing Pokemon Go Outside Police Station
Pokemon Go has been responsible for a number of injuries (below) and at least one existential crisis (also below) since it broke on to the national scene this summer.
And now it has also been responsible for an arrest.
Say hello to William Wilcox.
He was taken into custody on Thursday morning for an outstanding arrest warrant after authorities in Milford, Michigan saw him playing Pokemon Go outside of the station, which also serves as a Pokemon gym.
“He made our job much easier for us that day,” Milford Police Chief Thomas Lindberg told a Fox affiliate in Detroit.
Officers explained that the 24-year-old Wilcox was wearing pajama pants and standing near a flagpole when they recognized his face due to a rap sheet that includes a 2014 conviction for receiving stolen property.
Officials proceeded to look into their records and found out Wilcox was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant for a failure to appear on a breaking and entering charge.
As a result, Wilcox was taken into custody without incident just as he was attempting to catch a character at the flagpole.
“He either forgot that he had a warrant out for his arrest or was just ignoring it thinking nothing will happen,” Lindburg told WXYZ TV.
“I think he was more upset that he had to stop playing the game.”
On the bright side, the cops probably saved Wilcox from injury…
They also may have saved him from analyzing how his life has fallen apart in such a manner…
As hilarious as this story is, not every Pokemon Go story has prompted a room full of laughter.
Especially not any Pokemon Go story that involves people going to a Nazi concentration camp to play the game.
That is very uncool.
