Speaker 1 (00:00):
Calon's Entertainment report. He's on the Freadshew.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Okay, first things first, we are getting a ton of
questions on what the brand of magnesium is. I'm not
being paid, but it is life extension. You can get
it on Amazon. There are two kinds. Leave it in
the yes, leave it in the bottle if you lie
with someone else in your home.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
In a long Instagram post, event planner Andy King says
he's super disappointed in Billy McFarlane trying to plan Fire
Festival Part two. I'm sure his parents aren't super proud either,
but he said he hoped prison would have knocked some
sense into him after the first one, but clearly not
because Firefest, who is already a hot, burning mess. Andy
said he was all forgiving Billy a second chance. He

(00:41):
even stood by him when no one else would. He
linked up with him like a year and a half
ago to help him focus on empathy and paying people
back from the original festival.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
But clearly it was all for nothing.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Andy himself lost hundreds of thousands of his own money,
and of course his career took a hit his reputation.
He says that he only did that documentary so that
he could help everyone get their money back, but Billy
has ghosted him and he thinks it's clear that he
doesn't care about others. As for Fire Festival two point zero,
they're blaming the Mexican government for pulling the plug on
it being held in Pliadel Carmen. They claim that they

(01:13):
were down and now they're saying they have no idea
about it. Remember, he was convicted of fraud and he
spent six years in prison after the disaster that was
the twenty seventeen festival.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
He was released in twenty twenty two, and.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Apparently he wants to go back real bad because he's
trying to throw another festival. After a two decade long beef,
Madonna and Elton John have buried the hatchet.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Madonna shared a photo of them.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Doing a little side hug and wrote, we finally buried
the hatchet. I went to see Elton John perform ONESNL
this weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Madonna said that seeing one of Elton's shows when she
was in high school actually changed the course of her life,
helping her realize she wanted to be a pop star,
So it hurt her a lot to know that someone
that she admired publicly disliked her as an artist. Some background,
if you didn't know it all began in twenty two
thousand and two, Excuse Me went out and said that
Madonna's Die Another Day was the worst Bond song of
all time. He continued throwing digs at the singer at

(02:04):
the two thousand and four Q Awards, where he slammed
her winning Best Live Act, saying that since when has
lip syncing been live? I think everyone who lip syncs
on stage when you pay to go see them should
be shot. So Weldon's a little spicy sometimes. The feud
escalated in twenty twelve when they are both up for
Best Og Song at the sixty ninth Golden Globes. Madonna

(02:25):
one John's husband blasted her on Facebook, which is showing
their age. But the two queens are back together again.
And lastly, Fred it is iHeart Week on Wheel of Fortune. Yes,
