Keith Urban Mourns Late Father
The father of country music superstar Keith Urban has lost his battle with cancer.
This sad news was relayed to fans via a message on the official Keith Urban website.
Referencing his wife, Nicole Kidman, Urban wrote the following to readers:
“I’ve been deeply touched by the outpouring of love and support that Nic and I, and our family, have received since my dad’s passing on Saturday night.”
The American Idol judge added that his dad is “finally at peace” after such a long battle with such a debilitating disease.
Urban went on to credit his father’s affection for Don Williams and other country artists as a major reason for why he went into this industry.
You don’t exactly see many Australian country music singers, after all.
“My dad’s love of country music and America set me on my life’s journey, and shaped so much of who I am today,” he wrote. “Thank you to everyone who has kept us all in your thoughts and prayers.”
Bob Urban was placed in hospice care about a week prior to his passing.
His son, meanwhile, will be front and center once again when American Idol kicks off its final season on January 6.
We send our thoughts and prayers to his family.
Omarion Rants Over Grammy Snub, Says He’s the "Chosen" One
Move over, LeBron James and Kanye West.
There’s both a new Chosen One in town and also a new headline-making rant machine.
And both are Omarion!
The rapper WENT OFF on Twitter today after not being included among the 2016 Grammy Award nominees, believing that “Post to Be” (his collaboration with Chris Brown and Jhene Aiko) deserved recognition on music’s biggest night.
Because these are some seriously classic Tweets, we’ll just let Omarion run with his diatribe for a bit.
Take it away, pissed off artist!
- “Post to be” is one of the greatest R&B collaborations ever. CB, Jhene, & myself been in the game 10+.
- The odds have always been against me. I constantly prove you wrong. I’ll consistently do great things & you will have to celebrate me.
- This isn’t a “im upset” (post to be) rant. This is a- ok so that wasn’t good enough. I’ll be back. Have my Grammy’s ready.
- The game has long changed since I was introduced to it. They want to still treat me like I’m a new to this. My moment is coming trust.
- So when it’s all said & done. Remember. I prophesied it. It’s my destiny. I was destined. Chosen.
- Since y’all here! Answer the question. What other song can u name that didn’t have a rapper for a collab!? & don’t be disrespectful. Answer the question.
The tracks that were nominated for Best R&B Performance included Tamar Braxton’s “If I Don’t Have You,” Andra Day’s “Rise Up,” Hiatus Kaiyote’s “Breathing Underwater,” Jeremih’s “Planes” featuring J. Cole, and The Weeknd’s “Earned It.”
And Omarion did at least spend one Tweet sending some props to those up for the award he craves so badly.
“Congratulations to all the nominees!” he wrote. “Enjoy this milestone.”
Kim Kardashian Baby Name: REVEALED!! ICONIC!!!
It’s official: North West’s little baby brother has a name. And it’s a moniker fit for a king … or maybe even someone more exalted than royalty.
While we personally threw out 12 pretty awesome Kim Kardashian baby names we would’ve preferred, they opted to eschew all of them for …
SAINT WEST!
Just moments ago, the super couple announced via Kim’s app (she would have it no other way) that their newborn son’s name is fit for a saint.
Saint, who was born at 8 lbs., 1 oz., was in breech towards the end of November, nearly resulting in his famous mama undergoing a C-section.
Fortunately, her doctors were able to reorient the son of Mr. and Mrs. Kanye West to the correct position for a traditional birth before December.
Soon enough, the little Saint was safely delivered without complications Saturday as Kim Kardashian gave birth to her second child in L.A.
While it was the most painful thing ever, Kim powered through and got it done without having to undergo major surgery, so that’s a bonus.
Saint joins sister North as the only Kardashian-West kids. He is the fifth grandchild for Kris Jenner, counting Kourtney’s three kiddos.
As for the name, we shouldn’t be surprised that ‘Ye would go over the top. “God” would’ve been pushing it, but Saint is as close as it gets.
Besides, the whole King/Queen/Royalty/Reign thing is so played out these days. What’s 100 times more epic than merely being regal?
Being spiritually on another damn echelon, that’s what.
Princes and princesses come and go. Saints are anointed by Heaven above as truly iconic, canonized beings that are motherf–king eternal.
In other words, vintage Kimye. No pressure, Saint …
