Demi Lovato Honors Prince, Sings "Purple Rain"

Demi Lovato has become the latest performance to pay tribute to Prince.

The young singer took the stage at the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular in Boston, Massachusetts for a special that aired on the Fourth of July this past Monday.

But she took a few minutes at one point to honor the late musical icon instead of her native country.

Decked out in a sequined romper, the pop star blew away the audience – both those watching live and on television – by delivering a rendition of "Purple Rain" with the Boston Pops Orchestra.

You can check out video of the tribute below.

Prince, of course, passed away on April 21.

His body was found at his home in Minnesota and an official report later confirmed that Prince died from an accidental overdose of the opioid fentanyl.

Ever since this shocking tragedy, celebrities from around Hollywood have paid their respects in various ways to the iconic artist.

Spike Lee, for instance, wore a sort of ridiculous outfit to the 2016 BET Awards.

Madonna and Stevie Wonder, meanwhile, teamed up at the Billboard Music Awards.

Lovato is one of the younger singers to perform "Purple Rain" as a way to pay homage to Prince, but it just goes to show the massive influence he had over musicians from all eras.

Also during her appearance at this July 4 special,, Lovato performed "Cool for the Summer," "Confident" and she sang a duet of "Close" and "America the Beautiful" with Future Now tour mate Nick Jonas.

But everyone is talking about her Prince cover this week.

For good reason.

Take a look and a listen below and you"ll understand why.

Identical Twins Give Birth On Same Day… At Same Time!

Simply put… WOW!

The following story is more astounding than the fact that Lindsay Lohan has managed to reach 30 years of age.

Sisters Sarah Mariuz and Leah Rodgers are identical twins.

So, naturally, the siblings share the same birthday.

But here’s the amazing part: their newborn babies do, too.

According to Today.com, the 35-year old each gave birth last Thursday morning… at 1:18 a.m.

Yes, at the exact same time.

Now, there is a technicality at play here: Rodgers’ boy, Reid Joseph, came into the world in Denver, Colorado; while Mariuz’ daughter, Samantha Lynne, was born in La Jolla, California, which is one time zone behind.

Therefore, the the cousins were born an hour apart, although both clocks read 1:18 at the times of their birth.

Still, come on. That’s totally nuts and crazy and insane!

The sisters revealed to each other than they were expecting last Thursday, having not planned to get pregnant together.

“I wanted it to be a surprise, but when she showed up at the door – it was the funniest thing –  I opened the door, welcomed her into the home, but as soon as I saw her, I knew she was pregnant too,” Rodgers told People Magazine, adding:

“I can’t explain it, I just knew. My prediction was that she was five days behind me, and it turned out her due date was four days after me.”

The sisters are still at home, recovering from their separate births and caring for their brand new babies.

But they hope to get together soon.

“We’ll definitely spend Christmas together,” Mariuz told Today.com.

Added Rodgers, also to People:

“It’s a really cool thing to be able to share. The adventure will only continue as our babies share the same birthday like we did!

“We can’t wait for them to grow up together.”

Cathriona White Suicide Note: New Details Revealed

Nearly a year after Cathriona White committed suicide, new details have emerged of the note she left prior to taking her own life.

White was the longtime girlfriend of actor Jim Carrey.

She and the former Ace Ventura star had dated on and off for several years, breaking up just a week prior to White killing herself last fall at the age of 28.

According to newly released autopsy and toxicology reports, White – who fatally overdosed on prescription medication in – was found with a suicide note actually addressed to Carrey.

“I’ve spent 3 days now in disbelief that you’re not here,” it reads. “I can go on brokenhearted and try to put the pieces back. I could, I just don’t have the will this time.”

The letter was discovered by the police, but only just now made public.

It continued: “I’m sorry you felt I wasn’t there for you. I tried to give you my best part.”

In the letter, White also mentions plans for her funeral, writing:

“I don’t really know about burial or that sort of thing. You are my family so whatever you choose will be fine.”

She went on to request that her possessions be sold and given to her family.

“Please forgive me. I’m just not for this world,” the letter concluded, prior to White signing off with “Dewdrop,” presumably a nickname Carrey had for her. 

White, a native of Ireland, met Carrey in 2012.

The toxicology report confirms that her death was a suicide and that White had a number of prescription pills in her system at the time of her death, including:

Propranolol (a beta blocker used to treat high blood pressure), zolpidem (a sleep aid sold as Ambien), and painkillers oxycodone and oxymorphone.

Shortly after White’s passing, Carrey released a statement that read:

I am shocked and deeply saddened by the passing of my sweet Cathriona. She was a truly kind and delicate Irish flower, too sensitive for this soil, to whom loving and being loved was all that sparkled

My heart goes out to her family and friends and to everyone who loved and cared about her. We have all been hit with a lightning bolt.

Oscar Pistorius Sentenced to Six Years in Prison For Murder

Former Olympic and Paralympic track star Oscar Pistorius has been sentenced to six years in prison for murdering girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

The 29-year-old double-amputee became known across the entire world as the “Blade Runner” for his tremendous, inspirational achievements.

His career peaked at the 2012 Olympics in London, where he held his own with the best of the best in several elite track and field events.

Then the star fatally shot his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp through a bathroom door of his home in his native South Africa in 2013.

On Wednesday, Judge Thokozile Masipa said Pistorius had become a “fallen hero” and that his remorse factored into a lenient sentence.

“Recovery is possible, but it will depend mostly on the accused,” Masipa said during her ruling in Johannesburg, according to reports.

“The worst is that having taken life of a fellow human being in the manner that he did he cannot be at peace,” the judge added.

“He’s a fallen hero, he’s lost his career and he’s ruined financially.”

Masipa had previously convicted Pistorius of manslaughter and sentenced him to five years, but he was released on bail during appeal.

In December, an appeals court ruled that the athlete was in fact guilty of murder and sent the case back to Masipa for a new sentence. 

Steenkamp’s parents, Barry and June, wiped away tears as the sentence was read; Pistorius could’ve faced 15 years or even longer.

Pistorius sat stoically as the judge explained her ruling.

Steenkamp was shot multiple times through a locked bathroom door at  home, and he always maintained that he acted in self-defense.

Believing that an intruder had barricaded himself in the room, dubious as that sounds, Pistorius says he never meant to shoot Steenkamp.

Defense attorneys even had him remove his prosthetic legs last month and walk across the court room on his stumps as a demonstration.

This, they believed, would show how vulnerable he was and offer some insight into his mental state at the time of the late-night shooting. 

Pistorius can still appeal the the latest sentence.
