Bill Clinton reflects on post-White House years in upcoming memoir

NEW YORK >> Former President Bill Clinton has a memoir coming out this fall about his years since leaving public office in 2001. “Citizen: My Life After the White House” will cover everything from the presidential campaigns of his wife, Hillary Clinton, to his views on events ranging from the Jan. 6 insurrection to the Iraq War.

Alfred A. Knopf, which published Clinton’s million-selling presidential memoir “My Life,” will release the new book Nov. 19.

“I knew as I entered this new chapter of my life that I’d keep score the way I always have: Are people better off when you quit than when you started? Do our children have a brighter future? Are we coming together instead of falling apart?” Clinton said in a statement Thursday. “‘Citizen’ is the story of my 23-plus years since leaving the White House, told largely through the stories of other people who changed my life as I tried to help change theirs, of those who supported me, including those I loved and lost, and of the mistakes I made along the way.”

Lizzo confirms she’s not quitting music after cryptic Instagram post

NEW YORK >> Lizzo cleared up her recent comments about quitting, telling fans in an Instagram video that she’s still going to make music but is simply going to quit “giving any negative energy attention.”

The comments followed a cryptic Instagram post last Friday in which the 35-year-old “About Damn Time” singer wrote she was “getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet,” finishing in all caps: “I QUIT.”

In the video, Lizzo stood in front of the camera in an aqua blue bathing suit, explaining, “What I’m not going to quit is the joy of my life, which is making music and connecting to people, and I know I’m not alone.”
