Adele unveils all-female bill for shows

-

Adele recently took to Twitter to share the allfemale lineup of artists who will perform with her Friday and Saturday for two headlining appearance­s at the BST Hyde Park festival in London.

The bill will feature Kacey Musgraves and Gabrielle, along with rising artists Mahalia, Self Esteem, Nilufer Yanya, Tiana Major9, Chrissi, Bonnie Kemplay, Ruti and Tamzene.

“The line up for my Hyde Park shows … is going to blow your socks off!” Adele wrote, posting the flier for the festival as well as a photo of her and her guest performers. “An all female bill, from new artists that I’m obsessed with to the heavenly @KaceyMusgr­aves to one of my favorite artists of all time @GabrielleU­k who I’ve loved since I was 4!!”

The all-female bill seems to be the result of a careful curation on Adele’s part.

The singer added, “It’s going to be incredible, there’s a whole host of us performing all day, I can’t wait to share the main stage with you ladies.”

Page responds to ‘Bridgerton’ return rumors:

RegeJean Page, who plays the Duke of Hastings on “Bridgerton,” took to Instagram to dispel rumors that he might be making a return to the Netflix hit.

“The boys are back in town,” Page, 34, captioned a photo of himself and star of season two Jonathan Bailey during Milan Fashion Week. “(No, I’m not going back to the show btw - the papers made that one up.)”

Page went on to say that despite having no intention of reprising his role as Simon Basset in the Shonda Rhimes show, he and Bailey — who plays

Simon’s best pal, Anthony Bridgerton — “had the best, and most stylish, catch up I’ve had in a while over some truly excellent Italian coffee and sunshine.”

Of course, fans were none too thrilled to learn they’re awaiting his character’s return in vain.

“This is so iconic but pls come back,” said one fan in the comments section.

Though Simon — a role that scored Page an Emmy nomination — is mentioned in the series’ second season, Page’s face is never seen. The third season will center on the romance between Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope (Nicola Coughlan).

Nye marries Mundy: Bill Nye the Science Guy is officially

off the market after saying “I do” to former Washington Post journalist and New York Times bestsellin­g author Liza Mundy in late May, People reported.

The couple’s love story — which culminated in a ceremony at the Castle Build’s Haupt Garden at the Smithsonia­n Institute in Washington, D.C. — originated with one of Mundy’s own works, according to the outlet.

In “Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II,” Mundy, 61, referenced Nye’s mother, Jacquline Jenkins-Nye, who was a cryptanaly­st. This led the 66-year-old Emmy-nominated mechanical engineer to email her, according to People.
