LISTEN KATY PERRY UNVEILED “SMILE”

KATY PERRY UNVEILED “SMILE,” THE TITLE TRACK OF HER NEW ALBUM, which will be released by Capitol Records on August 14. The infectious, lifeaffirming song is brimming with gratitude and suggests that setbacks often turn out to be blessings in disguise.

“I wrote this song when I was coming through one of the darkest periods of my life,” says Katy. “When I listen to it now, it’s a great reminder that I made it through. It’s three minutes of energizing hopefulness.”

Earlier today, Katy revealed the album cover along with exclusive Smilethemed merchandise bundles, available now at http://katy.to/KPshopPR. Fans who pre-order the album will instantly receive “Smile” plus “Daisies,” the Gold-certified “Never Really Over” and “Harleys In Hawaii.”

Since its release in May, “Daisies” has amassed more than 125 million combined global streams. It is now top 10 at Hot AC radio. Last week, Katy shared an acoustic version of the song. While in quarantine, she’s won acclaim for the wide variety of performances she has given of “Daisies” – including the “American Idol” season finale, the launch of the 2020 “Good Morning America” Concert Series and the “Can’t Cancel Pride: Helping LGBTQ+ People in Need” livestream. Katy also co-headlined the recent Democracy Summer 2020 livestream. The event kicked off a campaign to register 200,000 new voters this summer, led by a coalition that includes Rock the Vote, Voto Latino Foundation, When We All Vote, March For Our Lives and others.

CANADA’S DRAG RACE

SHANTAY YOU STAY, EH? AT PRESS, THE LATEST EPISODE OF “CANADA’S DRAG RACE,” had the 11 remaining queens showcasing their ballerina skills in a quick-drag mini-challenge. Winners Anastarzia Anaquway and BOA were named team captains for the “HER-itage Moments” maxi-challenge, dividing into two teams to teach us Americans about some of their Canadian “HER-itage” as they spoofed two iconic Canadian “Heritage Minutes,” which are sixty-second short films illustrating an important moment in Canadian history. Some queens slayed the performance, while others fell short.

On the runway, the queens were asked to create elevated interpretations of their first times in drag. Resident judges Brooke Lynn Hytes, Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman, and Stacey McKenzie, were joined by guest host Jade Hassouné (“Shadowhunters”), to evaluate the queens based on both their acting chops and runway lewks.

Having barely escaped elimination a week ago, the glamorous Lemon squeezed back into the judges’ good graces and was declared the maxi-challenge winner. Tynomi Banks and Kyne had to lip-synch for their lives to Ultra Naté, Amber, and Jocelyn Enriquez’s version of “If You Could Read My Mind,” where Tynomi Banks was granted another week to vie for a win; while Kyne, with her extraordinary charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent, sashayed away.

You can hear more about Kyne’s experience on World of Wonder’s official Canada’s Drag Race podcast (www.dragracepodcast.com) hosted by judge Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman, who will spill the piping hot tea each week. New episodes will air every Friday at 12pm PT / 3pm ET featuring interviews from the fierce Canadian queens.

IT ALL BEGAN WHEN JULIA FEDORENKO-BITTON, a Naturopath, and a Clinical Herbalist, moved with her two children from New York City to the Hamptons, a beautiful place with endless beaches, surrounded by farms, and woodlands, which is a place known as Lyme disease “hot spot”.

NATURAL STRENGTH

TODAY’S WORKOUTS LOOK MUCH DIFFERENT FROM JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO. Gyms across the country are closed, and clients are unable to make in-person appointments with their trainers. While at-home workout videos suffice, people still seem to miss the professional advice and inspiration found in the gym. Oscar Smith’s book, Natural Strength, is full of motivation and training knowledge. He allows readers to take his workout plans and long-term, life-changing routines home with them. Smith is a well-known celebrity trainer with a personal training gym in Tribeca. He has trained celebrities that include: Katharine McPhee, Tom Brady, Rosario Dawson, Val Kilmer, and many others.

Smith has tailored specific workouts in Natural Strength, so people can exercise at home without a trainer, safely distanced at a park or beach, in the pool, or anywhere remotely.

While workout plans and healthy tips are important, Smith most importantly wants his clients to have fun and enjoy themselves while working out. In his experience, he knows that people will not create new healthy habits or see results if they are not excited about their workouts.

Smith offers different types of activities, which include supermodel workouts, strength training with weights, plyometrics, cardio days, and also addresses eating habits by including a very specific, 14-day meal plan with a healthy, daily menu of foods for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, and even drinks. Smith says, “If you learn how to cultivate natural strength in your life, my promise to you is that your sense of play, enjoyment, and life force will return to you.” He adds, “Practice seizing opportunities and learn that it feels good to take care of your body. You will feel good about your ability to focus on your goals and to take risks.” Visit https://o-dstudiogroup.com for more information or Amazon to order.
