#WhatsHappening for December 4, 2017

Hey kids- how goes? I hope you've all been well why I've been slacking off.

If you missed Saturday Night Karaoke last weekend, you missed a great time- so don't forget to join us this week for another round of karaoke shenanigans.

Bohemian Rhapsody, the oft-delayed Freddie Mercury biopic, is on hold again after Fox halted production and fired director Bryan Singer.

The studio's short, but direct, statement today says "Bryan Singer is no longer the director of Bohemian Rhapsody."

Singer was let go under the "pay-or-play" provision in his deal because of a pattern of behavior.

Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that Singer failed to return to set after the Thanksgiving holiday break. A rep for Singer told the BBC that the director's absence was due to "a personal health matter concerning Bryan and his family" while "unidentified sources" told the magazine that producers of the film- along with star Rami Malek- had "grown tired of Singer's behavior," which is said to include showing up late to the set, along with other absences.

It's unclear when filming will resume, or who the director will be. 

Lady Gaga spent her Sunday afternoon in Houston helping make repairs at a home that had been damaged by Hurricane Harvey. 

Before the #JoanneWorldTourHouston tonight me and @btwfoundation teamed up with @teamrubicon to do some demolition due to water damage and mold remediation in Pamela’s house from Hurricane Harvey. We want to help make #HoustonStrong. And we love Pamela! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/yWhfkrCPn4

Gaga then spent her evening entertaining a sold out crowd in the city.

New Stone Temple Pilots' singer Jeff Gutt says he's "going back to the gym with my personal trainer" ahead of the band's upcoming tour that kicks off next March.

The band has a new album in the works for the spring, as well, but no release date or title has been announced- even though their first single with Gutt, Meadow, has already been released.

Guitarist Dean DeLeo said "if there wasn't new music I don't know that we'd really have a leg to stand on, but we're sitting on 14 new songs right now. We wanted to have that ability to create new music and to go on and make more records and more music that we can just pile into the STP canon."

He also says the new album "is very STP. It goes from acoustic-based, beautiful things to really hard-hitting, heavy moments. We just have that ability to not be in one place, musically. So this record is just like any other STP record in that regard."
