Heartbreak and Hits: Y/N Y/L/N and Justin Bieber’s Rocky Romance Ends in Tears and Tunes

The whirlwind romance between pop sensation Y/N Y/L/N and global superstar Justin Bieber has come to a dramatic and emotional end. After nearly three years of ups, downs, and endless speculation, Y/N has finally confirmed their breakup in a raw and revealing Instagram post. The announcement comes just days before she’s set to kick off her highly anticipated world tour, leaving fans both heartbroken and intrigued by what’s to come.

A Love Story Born at the Grammys

Y/N and Justin’s relationship began in 2021 after a chance meeting at the Grammy Awards. The pair hit it off instantly, with insiders describing their connection as “electric.” Despite their undeniable chemistry, the couple’s relationship was far from smooth sailing. Rumours of infidelity, intense public scrutiny, and the pressures of their respective careers often overshadowed their love story.

Cheating Allegations and Cryptic Songs

As their relationship progressed, whispers of trouble in paradise began to circulate. By late 2022, rumours of Justin’s alleged infidelity started making headlines. While neither Y/N nor Justin addressed the cheating allegations directly, fans couldn’t help but notice the shift in Y/N’s music. Her lyrics became darker, more introspective, and filled with themes of betrayal and heartbreak.

Y/N’s 2023 album was particularly telling, with several tracks seemingly alluding to the turmoil in her relationship. While she never mentioned Justin by name, the lyrics spoke volumes. Lines like, “I gave you my heart, but you broke it in two,” and “Trust is a fragile thing, you shattered it with a fling,” had fans speculating that she was using her music to process the pain of her partner’s alleged unfaithfulness.

The Engagement Ring Mystery

In mid-2023, Y/N was spotted with what appeared to be an engagement ring, sparking a fresh wave of speculation about her relationship with Justin. The ring, a stunning piece with a massive diamond, was the talk of the town. Was this a sign that the couple had worked through their issues? Or was it a desperate attempt to save a crumbling relationship?

For months, fans and tabloids alike debated the significance of the ring, but Y/N remained tight-lipped, neither confirming nor denying an engagement. Their public appearances together became increasingly rare, leading to more speculation about the true state of their relationship.

The Bitter End

Early 2024 brought the final, heart-wrenching chapter of Y/N and Justin’s love story. Y/N took to Instagram to announce their breakup in a post that was equal parts salty and heartbreaking. “Sometimes love isn’t enough,” she wrote. “I thought we had forever, but it turns out, I was wrong. Moving on isn’t easy, but it’s necessary, especially when your partner does not respect you.”

The post quickly went viral, with fans flooding her comments section with messages of support. While Y/N didn’t go into specifics, her tone was clear: she was deeply hurt, and the breakup was far from amicable. The caption, coupled with the timing—just a week before her world tour was set to begin—left many wondering how she would cope with the demands of performing live night after night, while still nursing a broken heart.

What’s Next for Y/N?

As Y/N prepares to embark on her tour, fans are eagerly anticipating how this emotional rollercoaster will influence her performances. Known for her raw and authentic stage presence, it’s likely that the breakup—and the feelings surrounding it—will play a significant role in her shows.

Industry insiders predict that the tour could be a cathartic experience for Y/N, allowing her to channel her pain into powerful performances. “Y/N’s always been an open book with her music,” a close friend of the singer revealed. “This tour is going to be intense, emotional, and maybe even a bit therapeutic for her. She’s hurting, but she’s also a professional. She’ll pour all of that emotion into her music.”

While the world waits to see if Justin will respond to the Instagram post, it’s clear that Y/N is ready to move forward, albeit with a heavy heart. As she embarks on her tour, fans will be watching closely, eager to support her through this challenging time and to witness how her heartbreak will shape her music and her future.

Stay tuned for more updates as Y/N’s tour kicks off, and the next chapter of her life unfolds.

Colors of Us (Kwon Ji-Yong)

pairing: Kwon Ji-Yong x reader

category: fluff, slight angst if you squint

word count: 922

(inspired by this gorgeous hairstyle from 2022)

The days since your boyfriend returned from the military had settled into a familiar rhythm. You’d wake up late, wrapped in each other’s warmth, make a lazy breakfast, and talk about your plans for the day. Then, after work, you’d return home, cuddle on the couch, and fall asleep together.

It was peaceful. It was simple.

It was nothing like the whirlwind life you used to share.

Back then, the “rockstar” era of G-Dragon was in full swing—the partying never seemed to end, the tour schedule was relentless, and the constant travel blurred the days together. You watched how it drained him, how the weight of being a global icon never seemed to leave his shoulders. You did everything you could to support him, but sometimes, even you weren’t sure if it was enough.

Then, after his military service, everything changed.

When Ji-Yong came back, he wasn’t G-Dragon anymore. He was Kwon Ji-Yong—the boy you had fallen in love with, stripped of the fame, the cameras, and the noise. At first, he barely left your shared apartment, retreating into himself for months. He was quiet, hesitant, afraid of stepping back into a world that had moved on without him.

But now, three years later, things were starting to look up. A new BIGBANG song, Still Life, was about to be released, and you could see the spark returning to his eyes. It wasn’t just about making music—it was about reclaiming a part of himself.

And that’s how you found yourself standing in your tiny bathroom, bowls of vibrant hair dye scattered across the counter, preparing to give your boyfriend a brand-new look.

Ji-Yong leaned against the sink, watching as you mixed the first batch. His platinum blonde hair, still damp from washing, hung loosely over his forehead. The sight made you nostalgic—he had always loved experimenting with colors, but this time, it felt different. This time, it was a fresh start.

“So, what color should we do first?” you asked, turning to him with a grin.

He smirked, tilting his head in thought. “Whichever one you want, love. I trust you understand my vision, so just go crazy.”

“Dangerous words, Kwon Ji-Yong,” you teased, dipping a brush into a striking shade of electric blue. “I might just give you rainbow hair.”

He chuckled. “Wouldn’t be the first time.”

And with that, you got to work.

The bathroom quickly became a chaotic mess—splashes of dye on the counter, smudges of color on your arms, and the occasional curse when Ji-Yong playfully nudged you mid-stroke.

“Hold still!” you scolded, carefully sectioning his hair. “Do you want this to turn out patchy?”

“You’re just enjoying bossing me around,” he teased, though he obediently stayed still.

Twenty minutes later, the masterpiece was complete. His hair, once a blank canvas, was now a blend of vibrant hues—red, blue, green, and purple melting into each other like an abstract painting. Ji-Yong blinked at his reflection in the mirror, running a hand through the strands.

“Sooo, what do you think?” you asked eagerly, bouncing on the balls of your feet.

A slow smile spread across his face. “It’s perfect. You know me too well.” He turned to press a quick kiss to your lips.

You gasped. “Noo, you got hair dye on my face! Now I’m going to be stained green.”

Ji-Yong laughed, completely unapologetic. “It suits you.”

You huffed, rubbing your cheek dramatically. But before you could complain further, he hesitated, glancing at the leftover dye on the counter.

“Actually, I was wondering… Since we have extra bleach and colors… would you like to match with me?”

You froze. The idea was tempting—but then reality set in.

“Ji, I have an office job,” you reminded him. “I don’t think my boss will be thrilled if I show up looking like a human highlighter.”

He pouted. “Just this once? For old times’ sake?”

Damn him. Damn those pleading eyes.

You sighed, shaking your head with a fond smile. “Fine. But if I get fired, you owe me a lifetime supply of ice cream.”

His grin was immediate. “Deal.”

And so, an hour later, your own hair had undergone a similar transformation. Bright streaks of pink, blue, and purple now wove through your strands, blending into a colorful masterpiece that mirrored Ji-Yong’s.

“Now we really look like a power couple,” he mused, admiring your reflection in the mirror.

You rolled your eyes but couldn’t hide your smile. “We’ve always been a power couple.”

The two of you spent the next few minutes styling each other’s hair—him carefully tousling yours, you playfully running your fingers through his. Every so often, he’d steal a quick kiss, claiming it was “part of the process.”

When you finally finished, you snapped a picture together—Ji-Yong pressing a soft kiss to your cheek as you smiled at the camera.

You posted it with the caption:

“Some things never change, huh?”

Tomorrow, you’d deal with your boss’s reaction. Tomorrow, you’d worry about professionalism and consequences.

But tonight, you were just happy to fall asleep in your boyfriend’s arms, tangled together in the warmth of familiarity, in a love that had endured years of chaos and change.

Because some things really never did change.

It’s not just Taylor Swift: AI-generated porn is targeting women and kids all over the world | CNN Business

The circulation of explicit and pornographic pictures of megastar Taylor Swift this week shined a light on artificial intelligence’s ability to create convincingly real, damaging – and fake – images.

But the concept is far from new: People have weaponized this type of technology against women and girls for years. And with the rise and increased access to AI tools, experts say it’s about to get a whole lot worse, for everyone from school-age children to adults.

Already, some high schools students across the world, from New Jersey to Spain, have reported their faces were manipulated by AI and shared online by classmates. Meanwhile, a young well-known female Twitch streamer discovered her likeness was being used in a fake, explicit pornographic video that spread quickly throughout the gaming community.

“It’s not just celebrities [targeted],” said Danielle Citron, a professor at the University of Virginia School of Law. “It’s everyday people. It’s nurses, art and law students, teachers and journalists. We’ve seen stories about how this impacts high school students and people in the military. It affects everybody.”

But while the practice isn’t new, Swift being targeted could bring more attention to the growing issues around AI-generated imagery. Her enormous contingent of loyal “Swifties” expressed their outrage on social media this week, bringing the issue to the forefront. In 2022, a Ticketmaster meltdown ahead of her Eras Tour concert sparked rage online, leading to several legislative efforts to crack down on consumer-unfriendly ticketing policies.

BTS in the UK

Part Three: 2020 - 2024

With the announcement of Connect BTS, some army mistakenly went to Piccadilly Circus at 12am kst expecting something to happen. Nothing did, but they spent time together. Someone also gave out free posters.

At the beginning of 2020, the BTS UK Store was first opened. It has expanded over the years with different releases, including both albums and singles. The store was heavily featured during Chapter 2.

They also took part in an interview with the BBC Live Lounge. 

BTS did another cover, singing I’ll Be Missing You with BBC

In September 2021, BTS collabed with Coldplay to release My Universe. This sparked a friendship which continues today. They later performed the song at AMA’s and a documentary was released showing the process, with Chris travelling to SK for the recording.

In August 2022, the Samsung ad featuring Yet to Come was shown at Piccadilly Circus.

In October 2022, Jin released the song Astronaut which was co-written by Coldplay. They performed the song in Buenos Aires and Chris kept Wootteo with him on their tour.

In May 2023, Jimin travelled to the UK for some filming. Whilst there, he did a Harry Potter tour and posted photos from it onto Instagram.

Whilst doing his UK promotions, Jungkook did a cover of “Let There Be Love” in the BBC Live Lounge. He also sang Seven

Seven:

Jungkook then went on Weverse Live afterwards. 

Jungkook was featured on the Autumn collection of Dazed UK.

Namjoon posted photos from London whilst he was there filming for RPWP.

Is it worth it? An analysis on Louis’ stunts

Lately there has been a shift in how Louis’ stunts are being presented to the fandom, with babygate mentions growing and seemingly being pushed by Louis himself.

I have taken some time to go over some (very arbitrary) success indicators that could possibly justify this push in stunts as a marketing ploy, however I have only confirmed my suspicions that the fanbase IS NOT HAPPY and that has been translating in Louis’ numbers.

(May I add that I focused more on louis’ relationship with his fanbase and I know that’s not everyone’s definition of success so I also added streaming numbers)

I took my numbers from this website and I looked through late 2021 and 2022 mostly

Starting off, lets look at Louis’ twitter following and activity:

Number of followers

Throughout August, September, October and November 2021, louis gained between 20k and 40k followers each month, those numbers were much higher during the earlier months of 2021, so what could have sparked that change?

The first picture of louis with F in years dropped in August, which happens to coincide with the sudden drop in Louis’ following

In December, the First Christmas BS happened, and that generated a drop in his following (he didn’t actually start losing followers until 2022, but he only gained 4K in December 2021) that would be weird on its on, but paired with the start of his tour (in which his numbers should be increasing much more) it was very obviously correlated.

Now onto 2022, which was quite an eventful year

2022 marked the start of LTWT which was not only an incredible time for preexisting fans could have been a great opportunity to increase his fanbase by giving him more visibility, especially paired up with a new album. We’ll see that this wasn’t the case

The beginning of the year presented Louis with a slow, especially if compared to 2021, but steady raise in following. This drastically changed in July.

The infamous dm leak happened on July 30th 2022 and it greatly impacted the fandom, which was translated into Louis social media following. Looking at it comparatively, in June 2022 he gained 129k followers, in July that number dropped to 26k, showing the impact of those final 2 days. In August, his numbers only continued to drop.

With the album announcement, one could’ve expect a raise in following and activity, but the opposite happened, and I can’t help but link it with the marketing strategy that was chosen, with further mentions of his “personal” life, especially bbg

The promotional interviews began July 2022 still during LTWT and, at first, they were stunt free (with the exception of one Interview on July 21 2022, in which he stumbled when saying F’s name, something he seemed much more comfortable with later on).

September 6, 2022: It is during an interview with Radio Deejay Itália that the mentions truly begin. Louis brings up Freddie unprompted and says he travels to LA often to visit him, from this point forward, the kid is often brought up.

November 2022 we get all those articles saying “louis finds parenting to be challenging”, over 100 copy and paste articles of this nature were posted.

December 2022 the Christmas Bs 2.0 took place, with the kid being flown to the UK and spending around a week there, between Christmas and New Years. The only footage of louis and F interacting was posted on Louis’ birthday, in a short video of the two in a dinner with the rest of the Tomlinsons.

How did this translate in his twitter following? When FITF promo started, Louis only lost followers

August 2022 he lost 7k

September 2022 he lost 33k

October 2022 he lost 24k

November 2022 he lost 29k followers (not good right after an album announcement)

December 2022 he lost 28k followers

January 2023 he lost 43.9k (the most so far)

But did all this only happen to his twitter following? Surely that’s not the only indicator of his success and relationship with his fanbase?

I agree, although louis does seem to use twitter the most when connecting with fans, lets look through his instagram

When FITF promo started, Louis only lost followers

August 2022 he lost 24k

September 2022 he lost 18k

October 2022 he lost 30k

November 2022 he lost 49k followers (not good right after an album announcement)

December 2022 he lost 33k followers

January 2023 he lost 62.8k (the most so far)

Looking at his streaming statistics

(I’m using walls as a comparison for timeline purposes, although im well aware walls promo was far from stunt free, it seems most fans have, understandably, a harder time dealing with bbg than Eleanor)

*Walls debuted at number nine on the US Billboard 200 with 39,000 album-equivalent units

*Faith in the Future debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 selling 43,000 album-equivalent units

So there was obviously an improvement on FITF debut, but has it been consistent since the album release?

The “this is Louis tomlinson playlist” on Spotify

May 2021 The "This Is Louis Tomlinson" playlist reached 250k likes

February 2023 The "This Is Louis Tomlinson" playlist reached 320k likes

Album stream milestones

Walls

Over 100 million streams on Spotify: February 6th, 1 week after its release

FITF

Over 100 million streams on Spotify: December 10th, 1 month after its release

So, overall, the situation does not seem to be improving…

I will later go through his tour sales, but given the different venue sizes this could be a bit tricky

My interpretation of those numbers i presented is that no, it is not worth it. Regardless on your opinion about bbg, from a marketing standpoint this image doesn’t seem to be doing Louis any favors…

(Please feel free to add your thoughts, I’d love to deepen this discussion)

Also, I don’t think any stunt that furthers a queer person’s closeting could ever be “worth it”, this was just my attempt to try to see what could be their motivations for this (although if its commercial success, it’s definitely not working)

[indiaalphawhiskey]

what are your thoughts about Harry's new tattoo?

Hi darling.

I am not going to lie: I’ve been upset about it for three days now, swinging back and forth between being super angry and trying to be okay with it. I thought about not answering this, because I don’t want to open this Pandora’s box, but I decided to in the hopes that I can help someone else. I won’t be answering follow up questions/reactions, though. That’s my boundary.

Now, I think the important thing is to call this out for what it is and stop making excuses: it’s an Olivia tattoo, and whether it’s for a stunt, a cat, a house, the One Direction song, an unknown godchild, it doesn’t matter. He has it, he showed it off (rather purposefully), he knew what we would think and the kind of debate/restlessness it would spark.

Can I forgive him for that, point blank, without further reasoning or rationalizing? I’ve decided I can.

Why? Because I don’t think it negates all he’s given me these past thirteen years and especially this last leg of tour, and because I don’t think what he does for PR and/or to protect his closet is a statement about who he is as a human being. No one has to agree with me. It’s a decision I’ve made for myself and I’m happy with it. If this is your red line (and I fully encourage you to ask yourself this regularly) then that’s fine. Grieve the person you thought he was and take steps to distance yourself from what hurts you. I don’t mean to minimize this: walking away is hard as shit. But he will be okay, I promise. The person who needs to be okay the most is you.

Do I think they really dated/that he was in love with her? No.

Why? Because he looked miserable every time he was around her, because he took very clear steps to ensure she wasn’t tied to his music (which I’ve noticed he holds pretty sacred above all), and because at the end of the day he still broke up with her two days after his very public last contractual obligation was filled and kissed her friend extremely publicly.

Can you find ways to argue around that? Of course you can. You can find ways to argue around anything. But for me, that’s not how you treat someone you’re in love with even if they’ve pissed you off beyond belief and messed with your career. Nothing Harry has done outside of this stunt shows me he would treat people he cares about that way, even in his worst moments. It’s incongruous to everything I’ve seen and known of him and his character in the last thirteen years. I may not know him personally, and I may be wrong about him, but again, that’s my conclusion and I’m happy with it.

Do I think the tattoo means something’s in the works to rekindle the stunt? I truly don’t know.

But if it is, then it’s been planned for a long, long, long time (he had the tattoo during Daylight filming, which is May 2022; the BUA was Nov 2022), and there’s nothing I can do about it. It is what it is.

I’ve always preached being okay with not knowing, being okay with being uncomfortable, and this is certainly making me walk the talk.

The bottom line is: Am I okay with the things I have answers to? Yes.

Am I okay with the thing I don’t have answers to? I am working on it.

But that’s my responsibility, not Harry’s.

— FIN —

*thank you, Gina, for your contributions to clearing my head and for many of the phrases I used here to express myself.

LACUNA COIL's CRISTINA SCABBIA Discusses How Being A 'Workaholic' Inspired New 'Sleepless Empire' Album

By David E. Gehlke

LACUNA COIL's career-altering 2002 "Comalies" studio album received the re-recording treatment in 2022 upon its 20th anniversary. For the Italians, "Comalies" was the album that brought them in front of an international audience, particularly Stateside, where the "Heaven Is A Lie" video was on regular rotation on MTV2's "Headbanger's Ball" to go along with repeated trips across the pond. While LACUNA COIL's updated rendition of "Comalies" was intended to introduce it to a new generation of fans, it helped serve as the starting point for the band's latest studio foray and first in six years, "Sleepless Empire".

Arguably the most cohesive and enjoyable LACUNA COIL since the aforementioned "Comalies", Sleepless Empire" finds the band bringing back some of the atmospheric elements that were so pivotal to their late 1990s/early 2000s work, in addition to guest vocals from LAMB OF GOD's Randy Blythe and NEW YEARS DAY's "Ash Costello. Furthermore, the record tackles an all-too-familiar topic: The need for humankind to always be connected (see: phones) while feeling even more disconnected. Here to wax on "Sleepless Empire" and other topics with BLABBERMOUTH.NET is frontwoman Cristina Scabbia.

Blabbermouth: How much did the "Comalies" re-recording inspire the direction of "Sleepless Empire"?

Cristina: "When we did 'Comalies XX', it was our way to celebrate a record that means a lot to us in a proper way. 'Comalies' is the record that made us take a step ahead in our career and it's a cult record for all the fans. We didn't want to do a simple remastering with a new cover. We asked ourselves, 'What's the best way to celebrate and do something special?' Then we started wondering, 'Why don't we re-write it in the way we write today, with the knowledge, experience, technology we have today?' Also, our tastes have changed over the years. At first, it was kind of weird since so many fans were attached to the record. We weren't sure whether the fans liked or didn't like the results, but in the end, they liked it more. This is a sign that our fans grew with us. The new ones were approaching it at the same time because the sound was more modern. They got in touch with a record that is 20 years old. It was an interesting project and was the first time we started working on music again, considering the pandemic. So, it was not the genesis. It was the start, but it sparked our love of music again after the depression of the pandemic where everything stopped and we weren't inspired at all."

Blabbermouth: You indeed weren't alone in that department. Many of your peers reacted the same way.

Cristina: "Some bands and artists reacted in different ways. Some people decided to write even more because they had time off. For me, it was the other way around. To write music, we need to be together in the same room, exchanging ideas. For us, it's really important to get inspiration from the outside world. Not being able to tour and not being able to meet each other was devastating. I was like, 'Okay. Let's do something else to get out of our heads. We'll come back to music when it's the right time.'"

Blabbermouth: Did that give you the opportunity to think about what things were like 20 years ago? It was a much different world back then.

Cristina: "Yeah and when I think about what it was like back then, everything was different — the fact we were doing things without the internet, computers and smartphones. There was no Spotify and no way to connect as quickly as we do now. It was everything through expensive phone calls. Fax. We got the first proposal, the contract proposals, by fax, then called Germany on the phone. It cost a paycheck for the whole month. [Laughs] It was super-expensive. It was also very different in music; even recording a few songs required your presence in a studio. You couldn't do it at home. Now, you can literally grab your phone and use an app and write a song, even if it's not professionally done. You can still do it. You can still put down your ideas. Back then, this was not happening. I think there was an even bigger selection between bands because the ones that were doing it were doing it because they really wanted to do it. They loved what they were doing. They were spending money and lots of time touring around the world. Now, some people are doing it for the love of it, but there are a lot of people who are doing it, 'Okay, let's see what happens.' Or, 'Let's see if I can become famous or rich.' Maybe the mentality has changed."

Blabbermouth: That ties into the theme of "Sleepless Empire". For you, as a public figure, where do you draw the line with your phone and being connected?

Cristina: "It's not hard. I'm very realistic. I'm always kind of able to look at things from the outside, so I put myself in the 'Sleepless Empire' as well. I am like that as well. I feel I always need to do stuff. I always feel that I have to be productive, not for others. I think it's something that kind of belongs to me. I'm a workaholic. It's really hard for me to take breaks. The 'Sleepless Empire' gives us the impression of a generation that never sleeps. You have to do so many things. You have so many connections through the computer and phone, but at the same time, you're very disconnected. I try to find time in my schedule to be, 'Okay. I'm going to go out. I'm going to leave the phone at home.' But, realistically, I wake up in the morning and the first thing I do is grab the phone to see who sent me a message. I am anxious if I am unable to answer them all in a few minutes. I think we were all in this, pretty much. I don't want to say, 'Oh, you guys are doing this.' I put myself into it as well. This should be a common realization and a common moment to realize that it is okay to do stuff. It is okay to be connected. Some connections are amazing. Now we're here, having a great conversation and using the instrument properly because I'm unable to come to your house in five minutes. At the same time, we don't need to forget that there is a real world out there. It's important as well. We should take a look at it as well from time to time."

Blabbermouth: There was an element of patience before all of this. You don't necessarily have that nowadays.

Cristina: "Oh yeah. Now, it's like, 'Oh my god. I sent a message. You didn't reply in the last 20 minutes. He's dead!' Back then, I remember my parents were like, 'Go out and play.' I would go back home for lunch. Then, I would go out again and come back for dinner. Nobody was worried that something happened to me. Now, it's the opposite."

Blabbermouth: You've picked a timely topic. It's not like any of this is going away soon.

Cristina: "It's not a criticism because the album talks about other topics. We liked it as a title and thought it represented what we wanted to say and the mood behind the record. It also inspired the artwork of the record. It was created perfectly. We are still lovers of a full record instead of singles. Maybe this is an old-school thing. I still love to hear a full record. It's like a soundtrack, like watching a movie."

Blabbermouth: "Sleepless Empire" has a little of the old LACUNA COIL style mixed with the new. Has the songwriting dynamic between you, Marco [Coti Zelati, bass], and Andrea [Ferro, male vocals] evolved and played a role in that?

Cristina: "It's pretty much the same. The difference here is that Maki [Zelati] switched houses. He didn't have a studio in this new house, so we rented another place. For him, it was a little bit difficult at first. For many years, he wrote in the basement at his place. It was comfortable; he had this place that was literally home, but it was not there anymore. We found another place and it took a while for him to arrange and feel like it was home again. This was a little bit challenging at first. Once we got comfortable, we started to go there and exchange ideas. Maki was always responsible for the majority of the music, even with the previous records, going all the way back to the first records. We are comfortable, Andrea and I, and we trust him completely. I mean, not only do we love what he does, we call him 'Captain'. He was the one who gave us deadlines. He really is the leader. If not, we're procrastinating. He's like, 'We're going to meet here. We need lyrics.' You need a person like this in a group. I love the fact that whatever he does, he's always really objective. If there is something he thinks that is not good, he's the first to say, 'This sucks.' He never falls in love with what he does, which is something peculiar. Usually, an artist is like, 'Ah, I love this vocal part! I would love to keep it.' Maybe you don't explore other chances that could be even better than what you did. He's constantly changing and trying to improve, which is something I admire. I tend to fall in love with my ideas. When I do something I love, I want to keep it. It's just like, 'No.' 'What do you mean?' 'You can do better.' He's always pushing me to give my best. This is something I like very much."

Blabbermouth: Every good band needs a guy like Maki.

Cristina: "I think we've reached the perfect balance because Maki is responsible for the music and all the musical parts, like mixing, mastering, taking care of all these details. Andrea is more on the commercial side. He's the one who talks to the manager. That takes care of that stuff that Maki and I don't want to take care of. Andrea loves it. His organization is amazing. And I am the creative in another way. I'm the one who takes care of socials and finds new ideas. I'm a people person. I'm always out and talking to people, and Andrea and I write the lyrics and vocal lines. We've reached the perfect balance. Richard [Meiz], our drummer, is amazing. We love him dearly. Daniele [Salomone], the guitar player who just entered, is awesome, too. I think there is a great balance in the band where everyone is doing something for the band. That's how it should be. It's like a company. A band, when it becomes work, when it becomes a job, it has to be a company, in which everybody has to work."

Blabbermouth: We can jump to this now: Are you in a good place with the lineup? Changing members is never fun.

Cristina: "You never want to do it. Of course, it's cool to have the same people around you and be happy forever. There are some times, as I said, throughout the years, we changed the lineup for many reasons. Some members wanted to change their lives completely; they weren't comfortable on the road. Some members moved, like our ex-guitar player who went to the States. Our ex-drummer was American, so it was always a problem to come back and forth. Sometimes, it happens that a member doesn't give one hundred percent. That one hundred percent is necessary for the band because the band is much more than the single elements, the members of the band. It's something bigger, especially when it's a business. Taking the romanticism away, the fact that we work with the band allows us to keep on writing music and bringing it around the world. Everything has to work. And if you're not dedicated, it's better to stay out."

Blabbermouth: LACUNA COIL hasn't gone the guest vocalist route too much in the past, although getting Randy from LAMB OF GOD is a nice touch. How did that come together?

Cristina: "We love his voice and LAMB OF GOD. We toured together years ago and clicked immediately. They're great people. Randy is such a character. He's not only iconic and legendary for his status, but he really is one-of-a-kind. We love him dearly. Every time he's in Milan, we go out together. Every time we cross paths at a festival, it's always a party and we're all happy. So it happened we wrote 'Hosting The Shadow'. We immediately thought of his voice. We said, 'Why don't we ask him if he wants to be part of the song?' We asked really respectfully. We didn't want to take advantage of our friendship because we understood his status. So we said, 'Please feel free to say no. We will understand. There will be zero problem.' Instead, he was super-excited. He was like, 'Yes! I love this. I love the song.' He killed it. I didn't have doubt, but when I heard the final version, it was awesome."

Blabbermouth: You will be returning to the States soon. Why do you think LACUNA COIL resonated over here? You were almost an underdog in a way at the beginning.

Cristina: "I would say we were more than an underdog; we were doing something different because our sound was very European. It caught more attention because of that. Then there was 'Heaven Is A Lie'. It was a little controversial for many people who thought it was a religious song. We did a tour with P.O.D. and fans were coming to the merch table, saying, 'I love your music, but you're singing 'Heaven is a lie', so I can't support it.' We didn't think about this; we weren't expecting success from that song! But, the funny thing is that being young and so much time has passed since then, but I don't know if it's music or the type of career we have, time passed differently. It doesn't feel like so many years have gone by. It's like I condensed everything in my head, and I remember what happened. It's deluded. It's so concentrated that it's almost weird. We still have the excitement. It's not that we're doing it because, 'Oh, what would we do if we didn't put out a new record?' We're seriously excited to write new music, be on the road and play concerts. That hasn't changed. We're even more excited."

So they had indeed lost some of their spark.

I’m glad to read that they’ve become a band that enjoys music and being on stage again, as they wrote today. That also means two things: There was a rift, and they were not in it as much anymore, even though Paul said a few years ago that they “love each other more than ever”.

And what happened last year, shitty as it was and for all the suffering it brought, it made them talk more and find more joy with each other again. So if there was one good thing to come of this, then it’s a band that went through another hardship together and came out stronger.

Paul made that chemistry comment in an interview from 2017 or 2018, and so uch happened since then: Untitled album + 3 great videos, tour 2019....and then covid, lock-down, two years not touring...and then totally unexpected (well, to me 😊) Zeit album + 5 (!) great videos...tour 2022 happening (still remember how happy they were at playing again) including a North-American leg..and then 2023 tour right from the start overshadowed by allegations frenzy, and i'm glad they added the 2024 tour after that to finish on a better note 🌺

They are 6 strong characters, like the statement said everyone dealing with it in their own way, i'm sure there were disagreements, discussions, coming to terms with what happened, for a large part beyond their control...

But i think the love for their band, 30 years of playing together and feeling the love from the fans for everything they give us has helped them through. Maybe there will still be healing needed, maybe some things may change, but they have eachother

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Part 6 of Caldera. This story will have 4 chapters; the first has been posted. This continues the Boston part of Daniel's book tour that I began to cover in the previous piece called "Time Has Opened Back Up to Us." Unsettling things are beginning to happen while they're on the road.

Chapter 1: No-Slaughter Rule (NEW, 2024-08-12)

TEASER:

“Of course,” the coordinator replies with a spark of recognition. “You’re the art dealer. How does it feel to have a character based on you?”

“A novel experience,” Armand says, giving her a coy, inscrutable smile that hides his teeth. He kisses Daniel’s hand, and then tilts his head toward the rows of empty chairs set up before the podium. “Do you mind if I tuck myself in that front corner seat, or are those reserved?”

“Wherever you like. Mr. Molloy, if you need a copy to read from, they’re right over…”

“Hey,” Daniel whispers, ignoring the event coordinator. He follows Armand to the front row seat that’s farthest to the right, nudged up against a wall of shelves. “Have you caught wind of any, you know…” He waits until Armand is seated to give him a quick kiss. “Others?”

“Yes,” Armand says tersely as Daniel steps back, tilting his shades down a fraction to let Daniel glimpse his eyes. They’re more red than Daniel likes to see, but it’s a form of honesty that he wouldn’t trade for any degree of calming deception. “Fledglings. I won’t kill them.”

September 29th, 2022 - Atlanta, GA

The arena was empty except for the crew, the band, and a few scattered techs adjusting the stage lights. Amelie stood center stage, gripping the microphone, her voice effortlessly filling the space as she ran through the final chorus of how many things. The music swelled around her, the sound of Alex’s guitar blending seamlessly with the piano and drums.

She was exhausted, but it was the good kind. The kind that came from doing what she loved. The opening night of her emails i can’t send tour was just a few hours away, and everything had to be perfect.

Alex gave her a nod from across the stage as the last note rang out, his fingers still lingering on the guitar strings. —Alright, not bad,— he called out, adjusting his strap. —Wanna run it again or take five?—

Amelie exhaled, rolling her shoulders. —Five. My voice is gonna hate me if I don’t chill for a second.—

She took a sip from her water bottle, stepping toward the edge of the stage when a familiar voice echoed through the arena.

—Didn’t think you’d need a break already. Thought you were a professional.—

Amelie’s head snapped up so fast she nearly dropped her bottle.

Rodrigo.

He stood near the first row of seats, hands tucked into the pockets of his jeans, a smirk playing at his lips. His presence alone sent a rush of warmth through her, and before she could think twice, she was running down the stage steps.

—What the fuck are you doing here?— she laughed, closing the distance between them.

—I had a few days off. Thought I’d come see your big moment,— Rodrigo said, grinning. —You didn’t think I’d miss it, did you?—

Amelie didn’t answer. Instead, she threw her arms around his neck, her momentum nearly knocking him backward. He caught her with ease, arms wrapping tightly around her waist, lifting her slightly off the ground as she buried her face in his shoulder.

God, she’d missed him.

Rodrigo smelled like home—clean, familiar, safe. She pulled back just enough to look at him, her hands still resting on his shoulders. Their faces were close, too close, but neither of them moved away.

Without thinking, she leaned in and kissed him.

It was soft, natural, easy. He kissed her back without hesitation, his hands settling on her waist, fingers pressing lightly against the fabric of her tank top. When they finally pulled away, she could see the small, knowing smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

—Guess you missed me,— he teased.

Amelie rolled her eyes, even though she knew it was true.

—Shut up,— she muttered, fighting a smile as she pulled away.

Rodrigo chuckled, grabbing his duffle bag from where he’d dropped it. —Where can I leave my stuff?—

—Dressing room. Down the hall, second door on the left,— she said, pointing toward the back of the arena. —You remember?—

—Yeah. I’ll be back in a sec.—

She watched him disappear through the side entrance before making her way back onto the stage, still feeling the ghost of his lips on hers.

Alex was leaning against his amp, arms crossed, a smirk already forming as she approached.

—That was cute,— he said, amused. —Didn’t know we were getting a live rom-com today.—

Amelie rolled her eyes, grabbing her water bottle again. —Shut the fuck up.—

—No, seriously. You look happy,— Alex said, his tone softer now. —Are you guys official yet?—

She hesitated for a second, then shook her head. —No.—

Her pianist, Sofia, who had been adjusting her sheet music nearby, chimed in, —Why not? He looks head over heels for you.—

Amelie blinked, caught off guard.

Head over heels?

She hadn’t really thought about it in those terms. She knew Rodrigo liked her—obviously. They spent time together whenever they could, and it was easy, fun. But was it more than that?

She felt something with him, something warm and real. But love? She wasn’t sure she was ready to go there again. The last time she let herself truly fall for someone, it had shattered her.

But now, standing there under the glow of the stage lights, Rodrigo’s touch still lingering on her skin, Sofia’s words echoed in her head.

He looks head over heels for you.

She chewed on the inside of her cheek, glancing at Alex, who was watching her carefully. He knew her better than most people did. He had been there through it all—the highs, the heartbreaks, the moments when she wasn’t sure she’d ever be able to write a love song again.

—Is he?— she asked, her voice quieter now.

Alex tilted his head slightly. —I mean... yeah. It’s pretty obvious.—

Sofia nodded in agreement. —The way he looked at you when he walked in? Like you were the only person in the room. I’m just saying, if you’re waiting for a sign, that was a big fucking one.—

Amelie exhaled slowly, staring down at the stage floor. She had spent so much of the last few years keeping people at a distance, convincing herself that she was better off not letting anyone in too deep. But maybe… maybe it was time to try again.

Maybe it was time to stop being afraid of the what ifs and just let herself feel.

Rodrigo had been nothing but patient with her. He never pushed, never demanded more than she was ready to give. He was steady in a way she hadn’t realized she needed.

And maybe, just maybe, she owed it to herself to see where this could go.

She looked up at Alex, a small, thoughtful smile tugging at her lips. —Do you think I should?—

Alex shrugged, but there was something knowing in his eyes. —I think you deserve to be happy, Am. If he makes you happy, then what are you waiting for?—

She swallowed, nodding slowly.

Maybe he was right. Maybe it was time to give her heart a chance again.

Rodrigo came jogging back onto the stage, his easy grin still in place. —Alright, where were we?—

Amelie met his gaze, something shifting inside her.

—Right here,— she said softly, and for the first time in a long time, she let herself believe that maybe, just maybe, this could be something real.

Austin Butler & Y/n top 10 paparazzi stills

It’s been a year since the instagram story that soft launched the relationship between Austin Butler and Y/n. There are rumors in Hollywood that the two were together long before they were caught making out in an alleyway, however we have no evidence of that. The couple knows how to keep their relationship a secret, in fact they are so good at that we can barely gather much material for this story.

That being said we do have our 10 favorite paparazzi moments of the two and we’ve ranked them all for you.

10. Out in Brooklyn

Only a few days after the 2022 Met gala where the two supposedly met for the first time, they sparked rumors about a potential affair after being photographed having coffee together. That outing was confirmed to have been in the presence of Austin’s then girlfriend Kaia Gerber. The rumors would’ve probably gone dead if it weren’t for the picture above, the two spend a day walking around Brooklyn, enjoying food together and visiting a local music store. Fans who saw them together that day have stated that the chemistry between them was undeniable and the way they laughed together looked so natural you couldn’t look at them without thinking she and him are dating.

9. At the Eras Tour together

Though she said she could never tour, Y/n accepted to be the opening act for a few of the Eras Tour shows. For no one’s surprise Austin accompanied her on all of those nights. Fans filmed him dancing, filming and taking pictures during Y/n’s set, while having a blast singing along to the songs. At the end of the first show Y/n opened, she and Austin were photographed leaving together, being all smiles and giggles. That night she also surprised the fans attending the show by joining Taylor up on stage for the acoustic part of the show and the two performed Swift’s song Paris, which they cowrote together. People in the audience said that she couldn’t take her eyes off of Austin.

8. Buying flowers together

Austin has said multiple times his a romantic, buying flowers for his girlfriend being one of his favorite ways of showing his love. The two were photographed together in Paris, walking the streets and stopping to buy two huge bouquets of flowers. Oh how we dream of having what they have. For the rest of that day Austin and Y/n were caught by the paparazzi multiple times and Austin was the one who proudly carried the bouquets in one hand while holding Y/n’s hand with the other.

7. Coney Island Ferris wheel ride

When doing their Actors on actors interview for Variety, Y/n told Austin that she and her parents used to spend a few days on Coney Island for the summer vacation. It seems that she wanted to show him what it was all about since the actor declared that he’s never been there before. They went on various rides, but this picture of the them cuddled up next to each other on the Ferris wheel is truly the highlight of the trip for us.

6. Disneyland date

Austin grew up just a few minutes away from Disneyland and going back to their Variety interview he told her that going the the amusement park was a regular occurrence for him. Y/n admitted to never having the opportunity to go but wishing to since she was a little girl. Back then the two were barely rumored to be dating, but nothing had been confirmed, Austin jokingly promised her that he’d take her to Disneyland and show her around. Seem like Butler is a man of his word and he kept that promise, because as soon as the news was out that the two were official, he wasted no time in taking her on a Disney trip.

5. Use me as a pillow

The first time people were a 100% convinced that all the rumors were true was when Austin and y/n left the 2023 Oscar awards together, with her leaning her head on his shoulder. In the picture he’s seen kissing the top of her hair, something not ‘friendly’ to do, so it was an obvious tell that there was more than friendship between them. Later that night they were photographed getting cozy together at Baz Luhrmann’s after party.

4. Hitting all the right angles

After posting an instagram story on her account, Y/n attracted paparazzi to her and Austin’s secret vacation. There were many pictures to come from their little Greece trip, including them fooling around on the beach, but our absolute favorite have to be the pictures of the two by the pool. Austin has been a long time self proclaimed amateur photographer, but to us it seems that the adjective amateur has no place next to his name, or maybe it was Y/n, his model that deserves all the credit. We haven’t seen any of the shots Butler took that day, but we can only assume they were top tier. These shots are the reason why Austin was deemed the internet’s best boyfriend.

3. Car make outs

Not a sight we see very often from Austin and Y/n, they like being private and they are very good at that. But sometimes the paparazzi get a little lucky and they snap million dollar pictures like this one. The couple was in L.A. at the time and reportedly was having dinner together at a nice restaurant. After they finished eating, they left together of course, but before taking off they took time to have a small make out session in the car. Oh to be young and in love

2. Subway rides

Y/n is a true born and raised New Yorker, her favorite activity in the city is to ride the subway. It seems to us that she wanted to share her questionable love for the subway with he beloved boyfriend. The always crowded subway was almost the perfect way to blend in, but not good enough, since someone was able to capture this cute moment between them. All we can do is wish to find someone that looks at us the same way Y/n looks at Austin.

1. Dark alleyways

This had to be our favorite by far, this photo dump of pictures hard launched the relationship and finally confirmed all our suspicions. It’s undeniable that these two gave it their all to keep us away for their love, but there’s only so much they can do. Everything about these pictures had us going absolutely feral, from his hand placement to their height difference. This has to be their “it” picture and there’s no denying that we all wished to be her in that exact moment.

Well this was out top 10 paparazzi photos of the very secretive couple. We can only hope for more moments like these going forward and some voices even whisper behind closed doors that there might be wedding bells ringing in the air soon.
