Support on social media for Comedian John Mulaney after he checks into rehab for substance abuse

Friends and celebrities are showing support for John Mulaney after reports he has checked into rehab for alcohol and cocaine addiction. 

The former “Saturday Night Live” writer has spoken about alcohol in past stand-up routines and interviews. In a 2019 profile by Esquire, Mulaney called alcohol “addictive,” saying he began drinking at 13 years old. He said that he stopped doing cocaine August 2005 and one month later gave up alcohol. In the interview, Mulaney said that he did not go to a recovery program but had been sober ever since.

After the news about Mulaney checking into rehab, several fellow comedians and actors began tweeting about their friend.  Mulaney currently stars in Netflix’s animated comedy “Big Mouth,” created by frequent collaborator Nick Kroll.

Twenty One Pilots ‘Level of Concern’ Sets Guinness Record for World’s Longest Video

According to a release from the group’s label, Twenty One Pilots just earned the Guinness World Record for the longest music video ever.

The “Never-Ending” clip for the duo’s pandemic hit “Level of Concern” has live-streamed for 177 straight days thanks to fan-populated imagery that has kept the visual fresh for half the year.

The clip — conceived by the group with interactive director Jason Nickel and director Jason Zada — has cycled in more than 162,000 Skeleton Clique submissions, in real time, live on YouTube. The project launched on June 12 with a global treasure hunt that involved unlocking 20 codes, which in turn each unlocked virtual USB drives through which fans could download a zip file containing images, videos and symbols from the band’s personal phones, leading to more codes needed to solve the ARG game.

The video refreshed every 3:42 with new content from fans, creating more than 400 new versions every day. “Level of Concern” smashed the previous record holder, Pharrell Williams’ 24-hour long “Happy” video, with a total run time of 4,264 hours, 10 mins and 25 seconds before coming to an end on Dec. 16. 

Watch the video for “Level of Concern” – here.

Good Charlotte Return With New Song ‘Last December’

Good Charlotte are back with their first new song in two years, “Last December,” their first new music since the release of their 2018 album, Generation RX.

Last December arrives in the same year celebrating the 20th anniversary of Good Charlotte’s self-titled debut album, which is why the band wanted to release this song. Founding member Benji Madden said, “2020 being the 20th anniversary of our self-titled debut album really made us feel like we wanted to release something for those fans who’ve gone on this journey with us. The holidays can be a rough time of year. Thinking of the ones we’ve lost and longing for moments that have passed us by is definitely a part of the joy and melancholy. This song for us speaks to both sides of those holiday feelings and we hope it brings some solace to anyone who needs it.”

The new track and accompanying music video can be found at the link: here.

Ariana Grande Announces Engagement To Boyfriend Dalton Gomez

Ariana Grande announced that she is engaged to boyfriend Dalton Gomez on Instagram. Grande revealed the news in a series of photos of the two cuddling up together, writing in the caption, “Forever n then some,” and also flashed a ring with a massive diamond sparkler and what looked like a white pearl on a thin platinum band.

Grande and Dalton first confirmed their romance in June, when they appeared together in her quarantine-themed duet with Justin Bieber, “Stuck With U.” The pop superstar reportedly “spent a lot of one-on-one time” with Gomez in quarantine at the singer’s home in Los Angeles amid the coronavirus crisis lockdown. Grande and Gomez, a Los Angeles real estate agent, largely kept their love life out of the public eye.

Grande was previously engaged to “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson in June 2018, but months later the pop star officially called off the engagement after their short-lived whirlwind romance.
