It started out with a kiss… now The Killers’ Mr Brightside is third biggest song of all time in the UK
The Killers’ Mr Brightside has overtaken Oasis’ Wonderwall to become the UK’s biggest single of all time not to reach No.1.
According to the Official Charts Company, Mr Brightside’s combined UK sales and streams of 5.57 million (including 1.066m sales and 530,340,000 streams), has made the modern synth-pop anthem the third biggest song of all time in the UK.
Initially released via the Lizard King label in 2003, the Las Vegas outfit’s debut had a limited run of 500 CDs and failed to dent the chart. However, when The Killers’ second single, Somebody Told Me, charted at No.28 in March 2004, Mr Brightside was reissued and subsequently peaked at No.10.
Now, having spent a total of 408 weeks in the UK Top 100, Mr Brightside is the longest-running Top 100 hit in Official Chart history.
Destiny is calling me…
Lifted from the band’s debut studio album, Hot Fuss (2004), the song tells the true story of frontman Brandon Flowers’ jealousy when he discovered his girlfriend cheating on him.
Now a guaranteed dancefloor filler at wedding parties and indie discos across the UK, the Karaoke favourite has garnered multigenerational appeal.
Martin Talbot, Chief Executive, Official Charts said: “The success of Mr Brightside is a triumph of extraordinary longevity, it is a song which has lived with so many of us throughout the recent decades of our lives – and, for some, an entire lifetime.”
Reacting to the news, The Killers told the Official Charts, “Thank you so much to all our fans for making Mr Brightside the third biggest song of all time in the UK, and the biggest ever not to have reached No.1; not yet at least!
“Mr Brightside has been completely embraced by the British public and we can’t wait to celebrate with you all on the road. Thank you for supporting us. See you soon!”

Sean “Diddy” Combs on Friday (May 10) asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit alleging that he and two co-defendants raped a 17-year-old girl in a New York recording studio in 2003, saying it was a “false and hideous claim” that was filed too late under the law.
The legal move is the latest piece of pushback from the 54-year-old hip-hop mogul and his legal team after he was subjected to several similar lawsuits and a subsequent criminal sex-trafficking investigation.

Diddy’s Accused ‘Drug Mule’ Brendan Paul Pleads Not Guilty to…
04/24/2024
“Mr. Combs and his companies categorically deny Plaintiff’s decades-old tale against them, which has caused incalculable damage to their reputations and business standing before any evidence has been presented,” says the filing, which also names Combs-owned corporations as defendants. “Plaintiff cannot allege what day or time of year the alleged incident occurred, but miraculously remembers other salacious details, despite her alleged incapacitated condition.”
The lawsuit was filed in December and amended in March by the woman who now lives in Canada whose name wasn’t disclosed in the court filing. She said she was in 11th grade at a high school in a Detroit suburb in 2003, when Harve Pierre, then the president of Combs’ Bad Boy Entertainment record label, flew her to New York on a private jet and took her to a recording studio, where she was given drugs and alcohol until she was incapable of consenting to sex. Then, the lawsuit said, Pierre, Combs and a man she didn’t know took turns raping her.
The lawsuit included photographs of the woman sitting on Combs’ lap that she said were taken on the night in question.
The defense filing asks that the case be “dismissed now, with prejudice” — meaning it cannot be refiled — “to protect the Combs Defendants from further reputational injury and before more party and judicial resources are squandered.”
At this early stage in the lawsuit, the arguments are procedural rather than on the facts of the case.
Some of the lawsuits filed against Combs involve decades-old allegations and are among the more than 3,700 legal claims filed under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which temporarily suspended certain legal deadlines to give sexual assault victims a last opportunity to sue over abuse that happened years or even decades ago.
The new deadlines established by that law expired, but the suit Combs filed the motion against Friday was brought under a different law, New York City’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law. That city law also allows accusers to file civil complaints involving sexual assault claims after the statute of limitations has run out.
But Combs’ motion argues that suit was filed too late, because the city law is preempted by the state law, whose provisions mean the lawsuit needed to be filed by August of 2021 to be timely.
“New York state law trumps New York City law, without exception,” the filing says.

05/10/2024
The amended version of the lawsuit filed in March sought to address some of these issues, but Combs’ attorneys argue that it didn’t go far enough. The judge has ruled the woman will need to reveal her name if the lawsuit moves forward after this challenge.
The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused, unless they come forward publicly, as some of Combs’ accusers have done.
Friday’s defense filing also criticizes the suit for including “a bolded, legally irrelevant ‘trigger warning’ calculated to focus attention on its salacious and depraved allegations.”
The public airing of allegations against Combs began with a November lawsuit by the singer Cassie, his former protege and girlfriend, containing allegations of beatings, rape and other abuse between 2005 and 2018. The suit, filed by Douglas Wigdor, the same attorney who filed the suit being challenged Friday, was settled the day after it was filed. Combs denied the allegations through his lawyer before the settlement.

04/04/2024
More lawsuits against Combs were filed in the following months. Then on March 25, Homeland Security Investigations served search warrants on his homes in Los Angeles and Miami in a sex-trafficking investigation. His lawyer called it “a gross use of military-level force.” The investigation is continuing. Combs has not been charged.
Last month, Combs filed a motion to dismiss a suit filed by Joi Dickerson, who said she was a 19-year-old college student when Combs drugged her and sexually assaulted her.
Wigdor did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the new filing. He said in a statement in December that the “depravity of these abhorrent acts has, not surprisingly, scarred our client for life.”

In messy reality show debut news…
Former Love & Marriage: Huntsville producer turned cast member, Sunni Minx is starting her time on the Carlos King show with a bang, saying she doesn’t owe any “loyalty” to her now co-star/ former friend(???), Destiny Payton.
Source: OWN / Love & Marriage Huntsville
Fans are collectively raising their eyebrows at Minx, who believes she did nothing wrong when she began dating and eventually married Payton’s ex-boyfriend, Moses.

On May 9, a brief clip from a forthcoming episode of Love & Marriage: Huntsville was shared in which Minx could be seen fiercely defending her marriage to Moses.
#LAMH Sneak Peek: Sunni opens up about being married to Destiny’s ex Moses! ? pic.twitter.com/ILRpQN88k7
— jay (@JaysRealityBlog) May 9, 2024
During a conversation on Carlos King’s Reality With The King podcast, Minx claimed that she attempted to inform Destiny about her relationship with Moses by sending a text when things started to get “serious.” However, according to the former #LAMH producer, Destiny never reached out to discuss the situation via phone. All of the conversation was allegedly carried out through text.
“I reached out to her. And I told her, ‘We need to have a conversation.’ I said, ‘Call me.’ She texted me back and said, ‘Hey, what’s up?’ I said, ‘Well, I asked you to call me because I wanted to talk to her woman to woman.’ I reached out to her and told her, ‘I’m dating Moses. And it’s getting serious.’ She didn’t respond….and she didn’t answer when I called her.”

A post shared by Sunni Minx (@sunniminx)
Doubling down on her innocence, Minx told King, Melody Holt and the audience that she didn’t owe any loyalty to Destiny as they were never close friends.
“I don’t owe you any loyalty. We don’t have no skin in the game. You’re not my friend. I owe myself loyalty. At the end of the day, I didn’t steal nobody’s husband. I didn’t break up no home.”
The audience and King let out a collective gasp of shock when Minx added;
“We’re married. And that’s what it is. And if you don’t like it, oh, well, and let’s be clear, even when I started dating Moses, he had several women he was already dating. You were the side chick from day one. So when were you even the main chick?”
How did Sunni Minx and Moses meet?
During an interview on 100.3 The Beat on April 27, Minx and Moses went into detail about how their romance flourished into marriage.
Minx began working as a producer on Love & Marriage: Huntsville in 2022. She met Moses in passing through Destiny while writing and working on the show, but she maintained that there was no “kiki’ing” between her and Moses at the time.
A year later in 2023, when she stopped working on the series, she began running into Moses randomly around St. Louis, as they are both natives of the Mound City. Eventually, Moses pursued her.
“He was coming after me,” she chuckled.
Minx Says She Didn’t Break The Girl Code
When asked if she felt as if she broke “girl code” by dating and marrying Moses, Minx said she wasn’t in the wrong, as she and Destiny were never friends, but work associates on the show.
“I was just getting to know her in terms of that. And I was really doing my job. I was a good producer. You know, they all liked me because I was easy to talk to. They felt like they were talking to one of their home girls,” she explained.
“So, I think for her, the line got blurred because it’s like my job is to make you tell me stuff.”
Minx only met Moses once during her time producing on Love & Marriage: Huntsville. Prior to that, she said she wasn’t aware that Destiny was dating her now husband.
“She didn’t really talk about him like that. Because he never even really showed up for her on camera. So he was like a mystery man to everybody, even me, the audience. So it wasn’t like he was heavily there. I seen this man one time in person in a year. And so he was just a conversation. “
Yikes! All of this will play out in the forthcoming episode of Love & Marriage: Huntsville.

According to reports from PEOPLE, a rep for the couple confirmed that they welcomed their daughter Galileo Terri Rayne, on Friday, April 26. The little one weighed 7 lbs., 11 oz.
“We are so in love with our precious, beautiful baby girl,” the couple gushed to the outlet. “We are forever changed and are so blessed to spend the rest of our lives loving her. She is our moon, our stars, the center of our universe.”

Zack and Bliss first broke the news of their pregnancy back in November, when the latter revealed that her birth plan was “no plan.”
“I think I’m going to have to see how I feel in the moment and just kind of go with that,” Bliss revealed at the time. “I’m really trying to go into this with no expectations, except that I want it to be as peaceful and calm as it can be.”
She went on to tell PEOPLE about how excited she was to meet her first child, saying she couldn’t wait to “see them learn and explore the world.”
“And hopefully, if we do things right, to see what they can contribute and how they can make the world a better place,” Bliss continued. “I think that’s one of the most powerful things we can do as human beings and I really hope that for our child. And I just can’t wait to kiss its cheeks and its little toes and just give it love. And I’m excited to see it experience love and life and all of that.”
Zack also spoke to the outlet, adding: “No matter what we do as parents, we’re never going to do everything right. I’m going to make tons of mistakes … but I think the only thing that really matters is that I make our child know that I love them and that I believe that they can do whatever they set their mind to.”

  Image © Steve GullickColdplay and The Killers singers help Travis Raze The Bar on new single
Travis follow the March release of Gaslight, the lead track from new album L.A. Times, with Raze The Bar featuring additional vocals from Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Brandon Flowers of The Killers.
A bittersweet story about the closure of Black & White Bar, a much-loved New York haunt for the band, Raze The Bar utilises Fran’s masterful songwriting to tell of a fictional last night in the Greenwich Village bar.
Speaking about the track, Fran Healy says: “There was a great bar in New York City. It didn’t have a name but everyone called it Black and White on account of the black and white striped awning that hung over the entrance. They had poetry nights, great DJs, open mic nights.
“If you played a show at Irving Plaza or Webster Hall, chances are you ended up at Black and White till the wee small hours. One of the owners, Johnny T, looked after so many artists and bands over the years. If that bar could talk, what a story it would tell.
“During the pandemic, their landlord refused to negotiate a reduced rent and they had to close. So, in the middle of the night, they turned up with a truck and removed every single trace and fixture of the bar. Then they white washed the whole space so it could never be repeated.
“Raze The Bar is a song about a fictional last night in the bar. Johnny is in there, Jack, Richard and Johnny’s brother and bar co-owner Chris. The cameos were almost an afterthought! I just called Chris Martin in a bit of a panic because I couldn’t figure out what the track sequence should be. When Chris heard it, he was like, ‘That song is the best thing you’ve ever written!’ And because he and Brandon Flowers both live quite near…”
