Fans sue Madonna over delayed concert times because they had to “get up early to go to work”
Madonna is facing a class action lawsuit filed by two fans after her December concerts in New York City’s Barclays Center began “over two hours” later than scheduled.On Wednesday (January 17), two ticket buyers, Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden filed a complaint alleging that the singer had breached her contract with attendees and violated New York state laws by beginning her concert on December 13 at 10:30PM rather than the stipulated 8:30PM timing.In the introduction of the lawsuit, which was first shared by Billboard, Fellows’ and Hadden’s attorneys wrote that “defendants’ actions constitute not just a breach of their contracts with Plaintiffs and Class Members, but also a wanton exercise in false advertising, negligent representation, and unfair and deceptive trade practices.” The full document can be read here.Extending the accusations to Madonna’s concerts at the same venue on December 14 and 16 – which allegedly also began “over two hours late” – the attorneys claim that the concerts’ stipulated 8:30PM start time as represented on the tickets was “material to Plaintiffs’ agreement to purchase the tickets”, and that Madonna’s failure to satisfy the expectations of an 8:30PM start time caused legal damage to concertgoers who “had to get up early to go to work and/or take care of their family responsibilities the next day”.In addition, the attorneys claimed that the concerts’ 1AM conclusion resulted in ticket holders being faced with “limited public transportation, limited ride-sharing, and/or increased public and private transportation costs”, adding that a number were left “stranded in the middle of the night”.On the violation of New York state laws, the attorneys invoked the state’s General Business Law 149,

Selena Gomez says she’s considering quitting music to focus on acting
Selena Gomez has opened up about quitting music in a new interview, saying she would prefer to eventually focus on her acting career instead.In an upcoming episode of the SmartLess podcast, Gomez, who has recently starred in the hit comedy series Only Murders In The Building, said she would prefer to “settle” on one area moving forward.Gomez explained: “I started having a lot of fun with music and then touring was really fun. But I was doing my TV show at the same time [Wizards Of Waverly Place] and I just found it really fun so I just kept going but the older I get, the more…I would like to find something to just settle on” (via Deadline).She told hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes: “I do feel like I have one more album in me but I would probably choose acting.”In the episode, which airs on January 8 but is available now to Wonder+ subscribers, Gomez went on to note that she never intended to be a singer, but after singing the theme song to Wizards Of Waverly Place, Disney asked her if she would record an album.“I wanted to be an actress, I never really intended on being a singer full-time but apparently that hobby turned into something else,” Gomez said.“I don’t think I’m the best singer but I do know how to tell stories and I love being able to make songs.”Meanwhile, last month Gomez was spotted with Taylor Swift at Ramy Youssef’s fundraising event for Gaza in Brooklyn, New York.The show took place at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on December 8.
