Ed Sheeran Celebrates '÷' By... Working at HMV?
Ed Sheeran bought and sold his new album at a record shop because... OF COURSE HE DID!
Celebrating the release of his third LP ‘÷’, Sheeran visited a local HMV in downtown Lodon to make an official purchase. Did I mention he was also wearing an Ed Sheeran ‘÷’ tee complete with an Ed Sheeran name tag while puchasing the album on both CD and vinyl? Oh, he than jumped behind the counter and helped employees sell his album to customers!
The album is already projected to be one of the hottest selling LPs for 2017. We're still waiting to hear about North American tour dates. You can see the full itinerary and score ticket information (when it becomes available) by CLICKING HERE.
Ed Sheeran Drops Shape Of You Video
Taking on the role of an amateur boxer, Sheeran takes a few lumps in the vid and also falls for fellow boxer, Jennie Pegouskie. Stick around after the credits for some bonus entertainment.
This was one of the two singles simultaneously released from his third LP ÷ (Divide) out March 3rd. Divide will see a standard release with 12 songs, and a deluxe edition with 16.
Sheeran also released a music video for Castle on the Hill a week earlier. Taking a literal trip down memory lane, the singer cast people from his former high school to star in the vid.
Any was you slice it, the scar is really working for Sheeran though, don't you think?
Following the new album's release, Sheeran will tour. He's already revealed dates for the UK, Europe and Latin American with North American dates coming soon.
Quick Hits: Gomez, Sheeran & Bieber
Ed Sheeran's new album Divide comes out March 3rd. After releasing two (soon-to-be) hit singles simultaneously with Shape of You and Castle On The Hill he's teasing even more new music.
I think it's safe to assume we'll be getting some new music from Sheeran on Monday... The only question is: how many songs will he put out this time?
Selena Gomez and The Weeknd in Italy
Gomez, 24, and Tesfaye, 26, were spotted being tourists in Florence on Friday. They took in the sights at the Accademia Gallery Museum, home to Michelangelo's David.
Their relationship has only been "public" for a few weeks now but rumor has it the two had chemistry when they first met at the Victoria's Secret Fashion show back in 2015. Huh... wasn't he in a relationship with model Bella Hadid sometime between then and now?
Yes. For eighteen months.
Multiple sources close to Gomez have said:
“She is friendly with them [Gigi and Bella Hadid], but not friends with them... Selena and Gigi were never fond of each other, so Selena definitely doesn’t have any stipulations about hooking up with, or dating, Bella’s ex.”
Meanwhile, a source close to Bella says she is not over The Weeknd, so this Selena stuff is hitting her hard. She still thinks there is a connection between her and her Starboy ex.
Bieber Shoots & Scores at NHL All Star Game
Justin Bieber did Canada proud at the NHL Celebrity All Star Game honouring Alan Thicke. Thicke's son, Carter, was also in attendance during Saturday's star-studded game at LA's Staples Centre. Robin Thicke was supposed to be there but cancelled last minute due to issues surrounding a family situation/custody battle with ex-wife, Paula Patton.
Bieber took some hits but held his own earning compliments from his Team Gretzky teammates. He managed to get a goal but was beaten by the buzzer.
Other stars that laced up for the event include Cuba Gooding Jr., Jerry Bruckheimer, David Boreanaz, Tim Robbins with performances by Snoop Dogg, Carly Rae Jepsen, Fifth Harmony and Nick Jonas.
Ed Sheeran Talks Taylor Swift, Adele in British GQ
Ed Sheeran opens up about his friendship with Taylor Swift, his new album and his competitive nature.
“There’s an underdog element to it. Taylor was never the popular kid in school. I was never the popular kid in school. Then you get to the point when you become the most popular kid in school - and we both take it a bit too far.”
The "underdog complex", according to Ed, means that he wants to be the biggest male artist in the world and Taylor wants to be the biggest female artist, adding "It also comes from always being told that you can't do something and being like, 'F-you. I can.'"
He's set his Divide album sales sights on besting fellow UK artist Adele's. She is the only artist to sall more albums than Sheeran in the last decade so he says he's using her sales as a target to meet and beat.
To hear more about Ed's new album, his competitive spirit and he and Taylor's kindred bond, check out his interview with British GQ online now.
