‘Doomed from the start’: Rumoured Swift-Kelce wedding is a ‘perfect recipe’ for heartbreak
Writer and Comedian Michael Loftus breaks down the rumours surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's multi-million-dollar Madison Square Garden wedding. “I think this is the perfect recipe to doom your relationship. Like Taylor Swift, I feel bad for Kelce over here; he’s going to have his heart broken,” Mr Loftus told Sky News host James Morrow. “She has to break his heart; that’s how she writes records. She finds guys, she breaks their heart, and then she acts like she’s the one who got dumped. “This is a horrible affair, like, she’s going to make the entire city of New York not happy with her … this thing is doomed.”

‘Party Rock Anthem’ Singer Dead at 37
Peter MuhlyLauren Bennett, the singer featured on LMFAO’s No. 1 hit “Party Rock Anthem,” has died at 37. Members of Bennett’s former band, G.R.L., released a statement on the band’s official Instagram page on Monday announcing her death. “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Lauren,” the statement reads. “Her beautiful spirit touched so many lives, and she will be deeply missed and forever loved.” The English-born singer began her career at just 18 with Paradiso Girls in 2007. She later joined G.R.L. and released songs such as “Ugly Heart” and “Lighthouse.” Throughout her time with those bands, the singer—whose cause of death has not been disclosed—maintained a successful solo career, including her biggest career feat on LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem.” The song spent six weeks at the top of Billboard’s Top 100 and quickly became one of the most recognizable party songs of the 2010s. Bennett also worked with successful artists CeeLo Green and will.i.am. The Daily Beast has reached out to Bennett’s representative for comment.Read it at TMZRead more at The Daily Beast.
