#WhatsHappening for July 25,2018

Hey, hi, howdy folks. Hope you've successfully navigated your way through hump day- it's all downhill from here, right?

An "insider" told People magazine that Demi Lovato's friends "had a strong suspicion" the singer was headed for trouble like the suspected overdose that landed her in the hospital Tuesday.

"She and her 'friends' were on a binger the entire night," the unnamed source said. "They keep Narcan on hand for such situations– they were prepared for this. The people she has been hanging around lately aren’t her real friends– they don’t have her best interests at heart. She’s pushed her true friends away."

(True friends, apparently, run to a gossip magazine to reveal their "inside" info for a quick buck, I guess.)

"She had to find creative and sneaky ways to get drugs because her team and those that really care about her really try to keep a close watch on her."

For no reason at all (other than they shared it on their Facebook page), here's Rapture from Blondie.

Emmylou Harris, Jackson Browne, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Steve Earle are among the artists who've agreed to perform as part of The Lantern Tour: Concerts for Migrant and Refugee Families. 
Proceeds from the shows, which kick off October 23rd in Nashville, will go to the Women’s Refugee Commission to help support families seeking asylum at the United States-Mexico border. Graham Nash, Shawn Colvin, and Lila Downs have also agreed to perform.

The mini-tour will have four stops after Nashville, wrapping up in New York on the 28th. D.C., Collingswood, New Jersey, Boston are the other stops. Check out thelanterntour.org for more info.

Yes, this is called irony: City of South Fulton Mayor Bill Edwards and other officials will present Bobby Brown with a proclamation to build the Bobbi Kristina Brown Serenity House in memory of his and Whitney Houston's late daughter. 
Though many of the details surrounding the shelter have yet to be announced, it will also offer a 24-hour crisis intervention line and emergency transitional shelter.
The proclamation will be presented Monday.
