Ella Langley Announces Second Leg of The Dandelion Tour

Fans will have even more chances to see Ella Langley live this year because today, the country music star announced dates for the second leg of her wildly successful The Dandelion Tour.

The news confirms that 21 new dates have been added to her sold-out headline arena run. After closing out the first part of her trek on August 15, she will head right back to the road on August 20 with a stop in Green Bay, WI to kick off the second leg.

Langley will continue to make her way across the country with plans to perform at several landmark venues including Red Rocks Amphitheatre and two nights at Los Angeles’ famed Greek Theatre. She will officially bring the tour to a close on October 31 when she delivers her final show in Saint Paul, MN.

Tickets to ‘The Dandelion Tour’ will be available via presale beginning Thursday, June 25. Fans can register to access presale tickets on ellalangley.com/tour.General on-sale begins on Friday, June 26 at 10am local time. 

The tour was named after her No. 1 and RIAA Platinum-certified album Dandelion, which spawned two of the biggest country records in 2206: the 4X Platinum single “Choosin’ Texas,” which became the first song by a woman to simultaneously top the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay charts, and Platinum hit “Be Her,” which recently was named the fastest solo female song to reach No. 1 at Country radio in the last 10 years.

Her milestone year also includes snagging all seven awards she was nominated for at the ACM Awards and earning two recent American Music Award wins.

The Alabama native executive produced her highly anticipated sophomore album alongside Miranda Lambert and Ben West. The album includes 18 tracks that showcase a flirtier, freer, more mature and confident side of Langley.

She launched the first half of her headline run in May, in addition to serving as support for select dates of Morgan Wallen’s Still The Problem Tour and making several festival appearances.

Her upcoming dates will feature support from a rotation of rising acts and hitmakers including ERNEST, Kameron Marlowe,  Gabriella Rose and Laci Kaye Booth.

Sydney Sweeney & Zendaya: Still Feuding After ‘Euphoria’ Ended?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

After the series finale of Euphoria aired, fans wondered if the rumored feud between stars was over.

Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya seemed to bend over backwards to avoid each other.

Sometimes, people get along just fine when they’re not coworkers. Other times, the loathing is personal.

How has the end of their HBO series impacted the feud reports?

The reports of the feud are alive and well

Euphoria Season 3 has come and gone.

But has this changed the rumored feud between the controversial HBO series’ two most famous actresses?

RadarOnline reports that the alleged enmity hasn’t gone anywhere.

They haven’t appeared together on the red carpet in years.

The same seems to go for social media behind-the-scenes snaps and beyond.

Insiders close to the show have repeatedly shot down any claims that Sweeney and Zendaya hate each other.

Instead, they’ve said that the two did not have any scenes together in Season 3.

This meant that they were rarely on set together.

Both actresses have many projects beyond Euphoria. They simply didn’t have time to hang out behind the scenes, or pose for cute photos to post online.

But what caused them to (allegedly) not get along?

What caused their alleged feud?

As we reported earlier this year, Zendaya’s now-husband Tom Holland allegedly played an inadvertent role in it all.

Sweeney allegedly flirted with Holland whenever he visited the set of Euphoria.

Obviously, Holland would never cheat on Zendaya. But a perceived attempt would still raise hackles in almost any partner.

Additionally, Sweeney was swept up in scandal (not through action, but more through inaction on her part) in 2025, even being branded “MAGA Barbie.”

Zendaya pretty famously has good politics. If the belief, which lacks evidence, that Sweeney is a supporter of Donald Trump is true, then it would be a bad look to rub elbows with her. But that’s … not really certain.

As we have previously pointed out, there is no confirmation of Sweeney and Zendaya having any sort of feud in real life.

Did Sweeney flirt with Tom Holland? It’s theoretically possible, but unconfirmed.

(Her real-life dating history suggests that she does not really go for handsome, age-appropriate men, so trying to steal a guy from Zendaya sounds out of character.)

Additionally, Sweeney’s voter registration as a Republican is a red flag, of course. But it is also from years ago. She hasn’t done enough to distance herself from Trump, and is probably just hoping to avoid any more political backlash than she’s already received.

Is it possible that Sweeney and Zendaya hate each other? Sure.

But it’s certain that people often imagine feuds between women who co-star on television shows and don’t instantly become lifelong friends.

Donald Trump Blames ‘Vandals’ For Reflecting Pool Debacle as Dead Duck Found …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

In the world of American politics, optics are everything.

So when a sitting president makes a big deal out of restoring a beloved landmark ahead of a major historic milestone, he knows exactly what he’s doing.

And when said overhaul goes horribly awry, said president knows that he’s about to get brutally roasted across the globe.

U.S. President Donald Trump arrives for a working session on promoting economic growth with G7 leaders and G7 outreach partners as German Chancellor Friedrich Merz looks on, during the G7 Summit on June 17, 2026 in Evian-les-Bains, France.

In case our hypotheticals were too vague, the above situation is currently unfolding in Washington, as the Trump administration scrambles to patch up the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool ahead of America’s 250th birthday on July 4.

As the deadline approaches, the Reflecting Pool situation is looking increasingly grim — and green.

The algae that the administration sought to eliminate — in order to cast the pool in a shade of patriotic blue in time for America’s big day — is still in full bloom.

Worse, blue lining that was installed in an effort to attain the desired hue is now peeling and floating to the surface, transforming the pool into a swamp-like eyesore.

That might be a result of the large quantities of hydrogen peroxide that have been poured into the pool in order to slow the growth of algae.

Whatever the case, the sudden change in the chemical makeup of the pool seems to be impacting the local flora and fauna, as Newsweek and other outlets report that a dead duck was retrieved from the water over the weekend.

Unable to ignore the situation any longer, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to … blame everything on his haters.

“What these terrible Vandals have done is a true affront to both Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and should be dealt with accordingly,” Trump wrote in his post, adding:

“They took some form of knife or blade, and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade of what took so much work, competence, and money to build and complete,” he added. “They also poured corrosive and destructive chemicals into the Pool.”

Security around the pool is now at an all-time high, and arrests were made over the weekend. One of the detainees was a retired Olympic canoeist named David Hearn.

Hearn, 67, told NBC News that he approached the pool in order “to satisfy my curiosity as a citizen of what was happening with all the algae and the peeling blue coating that I’ve been seeing in the news.”

“I didn’t remove, tear, rip, break or destroy any of it. The condition of the reflecting pool was the same after I stepped away from the water as it was before I got there,” he continued, adding:

“All of a sudden they were handcuffing me behind my back, and they hadn’t really told me what I was charged with.”

Comparisons between America in 2026 and the Roman Empire in its final years are almost cliche at this point.

And an embattled leader blaming all his problems on encroaching vandals is almost too on the nose to bother joking about. So we’ll hold off for now.

Oh, and in case you’re keeping score at home, the cost of the failed restoration is currently at $16 million — and rising.

Nonprofit foundation gifts Alaska Legislature 16 apartments in Juneau

The Juneau Community Foundation is giving the Alaska Legislature 16 two-bedroom apartments as part of a long-term effort to keep the state’s capital in Juneau.

Members of the House-Senate Legislative Council voted unanimously to accept the apartments, which are spread across two four-plexes and one eight-plex in the Starr Hill and Chicken Ridge neighborhoods, respectively.

The new acquisition follows the Legislature’s acceptance of the Assembly Building by a similar donation in 2022. That building has 33 apartments for legislators and is regularly in use.

Under the terms of the donation, the Juneau Community Foundation will buy the three new buildings, renovate them and turn them over to the Legislature once the renovations are complete.

Fifty-seven of the Legislature’s 60 members do not live permanently in Juneau; there will be 49 legislative housing units when the renovations finish.

Reed Stoops, a lobbyist, is a member of the board of the Juneau Community Foundation and helped organize the latest housing donation.

“Basically any kind of improvement that will make the Legislature function better in Juneau, we’ll do,” he said.

The ultimate goal is to give the Legislature more housing options to keep legislative sessions in Juneau, “especially during a special session like this,” he said.

Juneau is visited by more than 1.5 million tourists per year in the summer, and housing becomes scarce between April and September. Historically, legislators and staff have struggled to find housing for special sessions that take place during the summer.

The Legislature hasn’t yet decided how much rent it will charge legislators who live in the new apartments. Legislators living in the Assembly Building are charged market-rate rents based on the size of the apartment.

“Many on this council are strongly supportive and excited about Juneau Community Foundation’s donation, and just really thankful for it,” said Rep. Ashley Carrick, D-Fairbanks and a member of the Legislative Council.

“Juneau is an incredibly welcoming community, and this is just yet another example of why we should keep the capital in Juneau,” she said.
