When you're cooking for someone, there's just so much care and love that goes into it...
Just in time for Pride Month, author Daniel Haack spoke to us at Celebrity Page T.V. about his new children's book featuring a gay prince and knight who fall in love and go on a daring adventure together.
Haack spoke to us about how his fun, new story-book "Prince & Knight: Tale of the Shadow King" is aimed at younger audiences, while also teaching adults an important lesson.
The book is partnered with Glaad, the world's largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization. Glaad Head of Talent, Anthony Allen Ramos, shares the organization's excitement about this story:
"We've done these amazing, inclusive stories for young readers. We're so excited [and] this is the latest one right here."
A sequel to Haack's first book titled "Prince & Knight," this second book continues the adventures of the gay couple after they worked together to battle a dragon to save their beloved kingdom.
This second installment features the married prince and knight on their next fairy-tale journey to restore light to their land after a mysterious darkness blocks the sun.
Full of colorful illustrations and heart-felt words, Haack reflects about the significance of his book and what heart-warming message he hopes readers will take away from it. Haack told us:
"The most common feedback I get is, 'I wish there was a book like this when I was growing up,' or parents [being] really excited to be able to share this with their children."
About his young readers, Haack said:
"Most of the kids just love the thrills of the story, like the heroes, the dragons, the monsters, all that."
Prince & Knight: Tale of the Shadow King" is available everywhere books are sold.
Valerie Bertinelli
Valerie Bertinelli has been cast opposite Demi Lovato in the new NBC pilot Hungry.
Bertinelli, cast as Lovato's mom, is the latest addition to the pilot, which Lovato is executive producing.
According to Variety, Bertinelli's character Lisa is "a warm, loving, self-critical and emotional mess of a woman who has lost and gained the same 30 pounds in the span of 30 years."
In April, Deadline reported that Hungry "follows a group of friends who belong to a food issues group help each other as they look for love, success and the perfect thing in the fridge that's going to make it all better."
Shortly after the pilot's announcement, Lovato found herself embroiled in controversy when she took to Instagram to slam The Bigg Chill, a Los Angeles frozen yogurt shop, for perpetuating toxic diet culture for offering sugar-free options to customers.
Following backlash, the singer apologized
The casting of Bertinelli is apt given that, like Lovato, she has also been candid about her issues with food and struggles with body image.
If picked up, Hungry is set to air some time in 2022.
Ed Sheeran posted a photo of himself playing guitar last month with the caption: "Something's cookin'"
The wait is over! After an Instagram post in which the A-list vocalist shared his shock in the news that his first solo single is coming out in a few weeks, Ed Sheeran teased a brief preview of his new song today.
The Grammy Award-winning singer's last album was his 2019 No. 6 Collaborations Project in which he featured creative duets with artists such as Eminem, Justin Bieber, Chance The Rapper, Khalid, Cardi B, Camila Cabello, Travis Scott, 50 Cent, and more.
The title of his new solo single, "Bad Habits," hints to what fans can come to expect from Sheeran's new music, which he has been working on for months. This single is Sheeran's first solo song to be released since his song "Happier" on the 2017 album Divide.
For the past few years, Sheeran has been keeping a low profile on social media. The star got married to Cherry Seaborn in a romantic private wedding in 2019, and just celebrated the arrival of his baby daughter, Lyra Antarctica, last September.
Sheeran posted his excitement about his new music on Instagram, revealing a snippet of his song and showcasing elements of the music video:
Sheeran shows off his glamorous vampire persona, wearing a bright-pink suit, sharp fangs, and bruised eyes. The preview includes his melodic vocals matching the strumming of the guitar.
In addition, Sheeran shared a photo on social media featuring his character's long, black nails:
Sheeran's solo single "Bad Habits," is set to be released on June 25 via Atlantic Records.
