Sabrina Carpenter didn’t let a little on-stage nonsense stop her.The 25-year-old was dancing on a platform during her headlining set at San Francisco’s Outside Lands Music Festival on Saturday when she suddenly screamed and jumped forward after a stray firework came close to hitting her. The clip has gone viral.Carpenter then looked back as the pyrotechnics continued to go off. She shrieked again before covering her mouth and escaping the stray sparks on the Golden Gate Park stage.After finishing her set, Carpenter addressed the audience, saying, “Thank you, Outside Lands.

Stephanie Mills didn’t exactly ease herself on down the road to Oz — and Broadway immortality — five decades ago in “The Wiz.”“My mother had to make me go to the audition because I didn’t want to go,” Mills, 67, told The Post about that fateful first tryout for the starring role of Dorothy in 1974. “I had gone up for so many things and then I didn’t get them, so I was kind of disappointed, so I didn’t want to go.

Patrick Leonard would be flexing right about now — after “Like a Prayer,” the 1989 smash that he co-wrote and co-produced for Madonna, was featured in an epic sequence in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” the MCU franchise flick that just raked in $205 million for the eighth-best opening of all time.But Leonard — who also collaborated with the Queen of Pop on such definitive hits such as “Live To Tell,” “Open Your Heart” and “La Isla Bonita” — isn’t hyped up about the hoopla that led Madonna to license the song for the movie after an in-person plea from Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds.“That’s cool,” he shrugged when asked about “Like a Prayer” taking audiences around the world there again in the superhero bromance.In fact, Leonard won’t be hearing his song, in all its gospel-charged glory, on the big screen. He has not seen — and has no intentions to see — the film.“What year was that? 1989? So we are coming up on 40 years,” said Leonard, 68.

“Coming Home” — his first solo studio LP in eight years — headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, and, right after rocking the game, getting married to longtime partner Jennifer Goicoechea in Las Vegas, Usher Raymond IV is taking his act to the big screen.Following in the concert-film footsteps of Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, the R&B superstar — who in June was honored with the 2024 Icon Award at the Apollo Theater’s annual spring benefit and the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BET Awards — will be hitting theaters Sept. 12-17 with “Usher: Rendezvous in Paris.”Filmed in 2023 over Usher’s eight-show run at La Seine Musicale during Paris Fashion Week, the movie features the 45-year-old singer performing his chart-topping tunes like “Love in This Club,” “My Boo,” and, of course, “Yeah!”The film will be bringing love in this cinema just a month after Usher launches his Past Present Future Tour in Atlanta on Aug.

Lily Allen has revealed new details about the early days of her friendship with James Corden.In the latest episode of her podcast, “Miss Me?,” the singer, 39, labeled the former “Late Late Show” host, 45, as once being “flirtatious” and a “beg friend.” “Beg friends,” British slang which translates to something along the lines of “hangers-on,” “sycophants” or, more plainly, people who “kiss arse,” were the subject of the podcast episode, aptly titled “Listen B—-! Beggies Can’t Be Losers.”Allen co-hosts the BBC Sounds-produced pod with Miquita Oliver, 40, a British TV presenter, radio personality and Allen’s friend since childhood. Oliver and Allen both met Corden back in 2008.“Yeah, James Corden was a bit of a beg friend for me,” Allen said in the new episode, which dropped Monday, July 29, while answering a listener’s question if she’d ever had any beg friends that were “actually famous.”Recalling that the “Prom” actor was a guest on her short-lived 2008 talk show “Lily Allen and Friends,” the “Smile” singer said that “[James] was very flirtatious with me, and we sort of made friends.

The Sun published Friday that he’s going to continue his partying ways in the final years of his life.“I’m aware my days are numbered but I’ve got no fear,” he said.“We have all got to pass on at some point, so we are all in the same basket,” Stewart continued. “I am going to be enjoying myself for these last few years as much as I can. I say few — probably another 15.

cause of death has been revealed on the anniversary of her tragic passing.O’Connor was found “unresponsive” at her apartment in southeast London aged 56 in July last year.Her death was formally registered by her husband John Reynolds on Wednesday in Lambeth, London. O’Connor’s death certificate confirms she died from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, the Irish Independent reported.The Irish music icon was also suffering from a respiratory tract infection at the time she passed away.The cause of her death was noted as “exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma together with low grade lower respiratory tract infection” on the death certificate.O’Connor was found “unresponsive” at her apartment in southeast London aged 56 in July last year.Her death was formally registered by her husband John Reynolds on Wednesday in Lambeth, London.

apartment on Cornelia Street and the Lower East Side cocktail bar Banzarbar, where she celebrated her birthday in December.The two-hour jaunt will be led by Brooklyn Swiftie Arielle Calderon, who won a hotly-contested competition to be named the Ultimate Swiftie Tour Guide that drew hundreds of applicants. Calderon, 35, recalled the first time she saw Swift, 34, perform — in 2008, before she was a household name — at a chili cookoff in a park in Calderon’s native Florida.

Madison Square Garden, Billy Joel sang about “The River of Dreams” —the doo-wop-meets-Afro-pop ditty that became his last Top 10 single to date in 1993.It was easily the cheesiest song of the night, but hey, a hit is a hit.On this special Thursday evening, when Joel was saying goodbye to his house after 10 years, 104 sold-out shows and 1.9 million tickets scanned, it took on a sentimental significance for the 75-year-old local legend, who described the residency as “a dream come true.”Indeed, the Bronx-born, Long Island-bred Piano Man reminisced about going to the old Madison Square Garden — located further uptown in Manhattan on 8th Avenue between 49th and 50th streets — “when I was, like, a 4-year-old to see the circus and watch Gene Autry sing ‘Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.’“And now,” he marveled, “here I am doing this.”The resident “Big Shot” — sorry to the Knicks and the Rangers — was pinching himself that he has ruled the big daddy of all arenas, even without basically not releasing any new pop music since last millennium. (Save for the great new piano ballad “Turn the Lights Back On,” which he dropped five months ago but didn’t perform last night.)Let that sink in for a second.But after saying “Welcome to Madison Square Garden” for the umpteenth time as if he owned the place — and really, he does — Joel announced what we already knew: “This is our last night in the residency that we’ve been doing here.”Moans and groans from his ever-adoring audience were met with: “I know, I know, we don’t wanna go either, but it’s time.

her death — at a wax museum in her hometown of Dublin, Ireland.A video of the statue, which was placed next to figures of “Star Wars” characters Darth Vader and Qui-Gon Jin, sparked major backlash from fans, who said that the figure looks nothing like the singer.“Doesn’t even resemble her,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).O’Connor’s brother, John O’Connor, reached out to Dublin’s National Wax Museum demanding the statue be taken down.“It is hideous and does not resemble my sister,” he said on RTÉ’s Liveline, according to the Irish Times.“It looked like something that was a cross between a mannequin and something out of the Thunderbirds,” he added, noting it was “inappropriate.”The museum confirmed to The Post Friday that they’re pulling the display of O’Connor.“In response to the public’s feedback regarding the wax figure, we acknowledge that the current representation did not meet our high standards or the expectations of Sinéad’s devoted fans,” read the museum’s statement, which was also shared on Instagram.“We have listened closely to the reactions and agree that the figure does not fully capture Sinéad’s unique presence and essence as we intended.”The museum recognized O’Connor’s “impact on Ireland and the global music community” and said their “goal has always been to honor her in the most fitting and respectful manner.”“With this in mind, we are committed to creating a new wax figure that better reflects Sinead O’Connor’s true spirit and iconic image,” the statement continued.

in a video from the concert.The Fleetwood Mac musician explained that she was staying in a “fabulous castle” in Glasgow for her concert on July 6.“We get here days early because we want to be here for a few days,” she said. “I finally just looked at my assistant – it was like two in the morning – and I said, ‘I think we need to go to emergency’.

Billy Joel’s historic monthly residency at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night when the finality of it all really sunk in.There was when he sang that it’s “some kind of miracle that I survived” in “This Is the Time”— one of the few surprises, but a song he did in dedication to his wife Alexis — as if maybe he didn’t expect to still be here a decade ago when the residency started on Jan. 27, 2014.There was when his 8-year-old daughter Della Rose hammed it up to “My Life” while her 6-year-old sister Remy Anne, in a matching striped dress, looked bored underneath her pink headphones — after Daddy’s banner for his 150th career MSG show was raised above the stage following a tribute by Jimmy Fallon.“Wow, I guess it’s her life now,” said Joel.And, perhaps most surprisingly, there was when he bellowed “I’m movin out!” in his 1978 hit “Movin’ Out.” Out of nowhere, that consistent crowd favorite hit differently.

Billy Joel at the beginning of “New York State of Mind,” his 1976 saloon song that would become a hometown anthem for the ages — and a local crowd favorite during his 10-year monthly residency at Madison Square Garden that ends on Thursday night.Unhappy with his contract with Family Productions — the label that released his 1971 debut album, “Cold Spring Harbor” — the Bronx-born, Long Island-bred crooner hopped a cross-country flight from New York to Los Angeles.And the big move paid off: After making his getaway in 1972, becoming a resident lounge lizard in La La Land, Joel recorded his second and third albums, 1973’s “Piano Man” and 1974’s “Streetlife Serenade” under a new deal with Columbia Records.But you can take the Piano Man out of New York, but you can’t take New York out of the Piano Man.With his fourth album, 1976’s “Turnstiles,” Joel said goodbye to Hollywood — in both song and geography. And his return east inspired his now-legendary love letter to his city.“‘New York State of Mind,’ I wrote actually while I was on a Greyhound bus on my way back from a gig somewhere,” Joel told SiriusXM in 2016.

“the definitive Billy Joel song” on the red carpet at this year’s Grammys, the man himself told E! News that it was “And So It Goes.”“In every heart there is a room/A sanctuary safe and strong/To heal the wounds from lovers past/Until a new one comes along,” croons the Big Apple’s “Big Shot” at the beginning of the heartbreaking piano ballad that closes his 1999 album “Storm Front.”And for 10 years of Joel’s historic monthly residency at his hometown arena, Madison Square Garden has been that room, that sanctuary, that place to heal your wounds — and maybe believe again in the promise of a new love coming along.But after 104 sold-out shows, 1.9 million tickets scanned, and countless hearts and faiths restored by the power of his Piano Man magic, Joel, 75, will be movin’ out of the Garden on Thursday night with the final show of a decade-long lovefest that began on Jan. 27, 2014.Fittingly, the finale (airing on SiriusXM’s The Billy Joel Channel at a later date) will be the 150th concert of the Bronx-born, Long Island-bred legend’s career at his local spot — which had become his house as much as it was for the Knicks or the Rangers.He has been, no doubt, a one-man franchise.But as he bittersweetly sang 25 years ago, “And so it goes, and so it goes/And so will you soon, I suppose.”As Joel says goodbye to his MSG residency — a gig, an affair to remember — we look back on the top 10 New York moments from our hometown hero’s iconic career.Having moved to the Levittown section of Hicksville, New York when he was just 1, Joel named his debut LP, 1971’s “Cold Spring Harbor,” after one of his Long Island stomping grounds, and the album cover features a portrait of the young artist on Harbor Road in the hamlet.
