<p>Actress Idina Menzel has opened up about the IVF struggle she and husband Aaron Lohr have gone through over the last four years.</p>
<p>The 51-year-old actress/singer said that after more rounds than she cared to recall of in vitro fertilization, she was exhausted and decided it was time to move on, <a href="https://www.instyle.com/idina-menzel-ivf-documentary-6834892" target="_blank" rel="noopener">InStyle</a> magazine reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;At a certain time, you&#8217;re exhausted emotionally and physically,&#8221; Menzel shared with the outlet. &#8220;It becomes apparent that it is just time to let that go and move on.&#8221;</p>
<p>Menzel and actor Lohr tied the knot in 2017. The singer shared that she &#8220;didn&#8217;t 100%&#8221; want a second child at age 48 fearing how hard it would be, along with everything she still wanted &#8220;to do in my career.&#8221;</p>

<p>In addition to being on tour, Menzel had numerous doctors appointments and medical processes she was going through trying to get pregnant. She said she quickly learned, &#8220;The more you [try for it] — and when it doesn&#8217;t happen, you&#8217;re upset, you realize how much you want it.&#8221;</p>

<p>The actress opened up even more about what she went through in her IVF struggle in the upcoming documentary, &#8220;Idina Menzel: Which Way to the Stage?” which will hit Disney+ on December 9.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t think I wanted to have a baby,&#8221; Menzel explains in the clip. &#8220;But then Aaron has been the most amazing man to my son — who has a wonderful dad — who has found a way to have his own incredible relationship with Walker.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Enchanted&#8221; star shares a son with her ex-husband of 10 years Taye Diggs.</p>
<p>Menzel said her documentary &#8220;was less about the road to The Garden and more about the things we do on the way: the struggle and challenge of balancing motherhood with a career and making choices and what our priorities are.”</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the intimacy and letting people have a window into my soul &#8230; and what makes me tick,&#8221; she added.</p>

<p>TV host Piers Morgan claims &#8220;we&#8217;re up to 5 lies so far&#8221; in the trailers promoting  <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/meghan-markle">Meghan Markle</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prince-harry">Prince Harry&#8217;s</a> upcoming Netflix docuseries, &#8220;Harry and Meghan.&#8221;</p>
<p>On Tuesday, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/piers-morgan">57-year-old British</a> broadcaster tweeted a headline from <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/20659800/harry-meghan-netflix-trailer-lies-press-intrusion/">The Sun</a> to his 8.2 million followers that read, &#8220;Sussex, Lies and Video Tape: Image of press hounding Meg is really media at Katie Price court.&#8221;</p>

<p>Morgan references a series of images in the trailers that suggest paparazzi constantly harassed and endangered the couple.</p>

<p>According to The Sun, at &#8220;least four images&#8221; in the trailers were taken out of context, while another was &#8220;selectively edited.&#8221; The outlet reported the following:</p>
<ol>
<li><em>USES footage of journalists waiting outside court for Katie Price last year to illustrate the media frenzy around the couple.</em></li>
<li><em>GIVES the impression a lone snapper covertly photographed Harry, Meghan and son Archie inside a private home — when it was pre-agreed coverage of a visit to Archbishop Desmond Tutu.</em></li>
<li><em>SHOWS cameras round a limo before the trailer cuts to tearful Meghan — when the passenger was in fact [former President] Donald Trump&#8217;s ex-lawyer [Michael Cohen].</em></li>
<li><em>COMES after the first trailer showed a press pack at a Harry Potter film premiere years before the couple had met.</em></li>
</ol>
<p>Morgan tweeted out several posts that backed up the outlet&#8217;s findings.</p>

<p>On Monday, the Daily Express tweeted a clip that the outlet said proved an image used in the latest trailer was not presented in proper context and was actually from a &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; movie premiere.</p>
<p>&#8220;This snap features photographers clamoring to take pictures-suggesting they were taking images of the couple,&#8221; the outlet tweeted. &#8220;However, the image was actually taken at the premiere of &#8216;Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part Two&#8217; in 2011.&#8221;</p>
<p>Prince Harry did not meet Markle until 2016.</p>
<p>Netflix has yet to respond to requests for comment.</p>

<p>Country star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jason-aldean">Jason Aldean&#8217;s</a> wife, Brittany Aldean, said she refuses to &#8220;wear a brand that has any affiliation&#8221; with the &#8220;sexual exploitation of children&#8221; following <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/balenciaga">Balenciaga&#8217;s</a> &#8220;disgusting&#8221; BDSM-themed ad campaign.</p>
<p>During <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6316641642112?utm_campaign=later-linkinbio-foxnews&amp;utm_content=later-31519661&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=linkin.bio">Fox News</a>&#8216; &#8220;Tucker Carlson Tonight,&#8221; the host asked <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trash-day-brittany-aldean-shares-photo-of-balenciaga-gear-stuffed-in-garbage-bags">Brittany</a> about her recent Instagram post showing her carrying out trash bags filled with the fashion house&#8217;s products, which she captioned, &#8220;It’s trash day [Balenciaga].&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I for one love fashion,&#8221; Aldean shared. &#8220;I&#8217;m super into fashion, but I refuse to represent or wear a brand that has any affiliation, any affiliation, with sexual exploitation of children or the sexualization of children. It&#8217;s disgusting.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And what they showed us recently in their campaign is pure evil,&#8221; she added.</p>

<p>Carlson agreed and asked the singer&#8217;s wife about the public outcry.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s absolutely worth taking seriously because every single detail of the photo shoot was meticulously thought out,&#8221; Aldean explained, noting that she&#8217;s been on photo shoots before and said weeks and months of prep work goes into these things.</p>
<p>The fashion brand, which celebrities like Kim Kardashian often wear, came under fire last month after its website displayed images featuring its “Toy Stories” campaign that showed child models posing with the brand’s teddy bear handbags, with the bears dressed in BDSM-themed attire from its Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2023 collection.</p>
<p>&#8220;For them to think that it&#8217;s appropriate to put children in a situation that we have seen much less for a campaign for their brand is disgusting,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was not a mistake,&#8221; Aldean continued. &#8220;They have shown us who they are. It&#8217;s disgusting. It&#8217;s evil. And the common denominator here is that we have to stand up. We have to fight for our children.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brittany concluded by insisting the backlash isn&#8217;t about &#8220;religion&#8221; or politics but &#8220;protecting the children at all costs.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Everybody should be outraged,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>The fashion house apologized and said it was taking legal action against its production company. On Monday, reports surfaced that Balenciaga had dropped its $25 million lawsuit against the producers of the fetish-themed shoot, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/12/03/balenciaga-drops-25m-lawsuit-against-producers-of-disturbing-campaign/">New York Post</a> noted.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actress </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Margot Robbie</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> said she’s keen on playing </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/comics"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Harley Quinn</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and exploring her romance with Poison Ivy for the first time on the big screen. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 32-year-old native Australian, who has played the role of Quinn in several projects, made the comments during a recent </span><a href="https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/twitter-reacts-dc-universe-harley-quinn-poison-ivy-first-kiss/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">interview</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with ComicBook.com while promoting her new </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment"><span style="font-weight: 400;">movie</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, “Babylon.” When asked about bringing the romance between the two characters front and center in a potential film version, Robbie said she’s not just open to it, she’s also been asking for it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I have been pushing for that for years. I cannot tell you how hard I&#8217;ve been pushing for that. I want it too,&#8221; the actress said of a future project with their lesbian romance front and center. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When asked who should play Poison Ivy opposite her, she said, &#8220;Honestly, when I pictured, I always picture like Poison Ivy in the comics. I don&#8217;t really actually picture an actress doing it, but I agree, that would be so good.&#8221;</span></p>

JOIN US AND SAVE 30%.</a></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The romance between these two DC Comics characters won’t be new, but so far, it hasn’t been included in any film adaptations. A 2020 episode of the adult animated TV series “Harley Quinn” featured the first kiss between Harley and Poison Ivy. Some fans started calling the couple &#8220;Harlivy&#8221; after the reality of their romantic feelings became clear.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Series co-creator Justin Halpern <a href="https://comicbook.com/dc/news/harley-quinn-showrunners-confirm-harlivy-romance-season-two/">explained</a> to ComicBook.com, &#8220;We tried to play the reality of how messy, uncomfortable, and awkward it would be to figure out that you&#8217;re in love with your best friend. It&#8217;s messy, it takes a while, and it&#8217;s not smooth at all. And there are definitely a lot of two steps forward, one step back kind of thing going on.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For now, it’s unclear if Robbie will reprise her role as Harley Quinn in the future. Next up to take on the character is Lady Gaga opposite Joaquin Phoenix in “Joker: Folie A Deux,” which is scheduled to be released in October 2024. The publication notes that since “Joker” is not set in the same cosmos as the DC Extended Universe, it means Lady Gaga isn’t technically replacing Robbie.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Robbie said she’s excited to see the “Bad Romance” singer interpret the character.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;It makes me so happy because I said from the very beginning that all I want is for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters, the way Macbeth or Batman, always gets passed from great actor to great actor,&#8221; Robbie told </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n88nYIEBQSU&amp;t=493s"><span style="font-weight: 400;">MTV News</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“&#8230; It&#8217;s such an honor to have built a foundation strong enough that Harley can now be one of those characters that other actors get to have a go at playing. And I think [Lady Gaga will] do something incredible with it.&#8221;</span></p>

And for my brother to be born with cerebral palsy, then have a heart transplant, then have this random blood clot,&#8221; the “Jobs” actor said in a teaser clip shared by </span><a href="https://www.etonline.com/ashton-kutchers-twin-brother-michael-shares-why-they-drifted-apart-exclusive-195440"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Entertainment Tonight</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. &#8220;These things where you’re like, ‘Who has to go through that?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When Dr. Agus asked why the brothers drifted apart, Michael admitted to the reason. &#8220;Jealousy for sure, at least on my part,&#8221; he said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ashton went on to describe how his viewpoint changed over time. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;There was a moment in all of this where I moved to New York and was starting to get some traction with my career and Mike came out to visit and stay, and he looked at me and he said, ‘Every time you feel sorry for me, you make me less,'&#8221; the actor said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;He said, ‘This is the only life I’ve ever known, so stop feeling sorry for the only thing I have.’ And that then created an entire shift back to where I think we are today, which is straight up equals. That’s it.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Michael said during a May 2021 </span><a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2021/05/21/ashton-kutcher-brother-michael-recalls-feelings-on-cerebral-palsy-diagnosis/5203772001/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">interview</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that he previously had a falling out with his twin.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I was very angry. Very angry. I remember speaking to him about it,” Michael continued. &#8220;I didn’t want to be the face of CP. I never talked about it,&#8221; he said of Ashton revealing to the world that he had cerebral palsy in 2003.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Michael calls Ashton by his real name, Chris, and says he stuck up for him during childhood in the face of bullies who called him “every name in the book on the playground.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“My brother picked a fight with them. He stood up for me. He wanted them to treat me with respect,” Michael said. &#8220;And that meant a lot.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Michael also said Ashton refused to attend sleepovers without him.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Most of the time they’d say yes, but sometimes they’d say no and Chris would go, ‘Well, then I’m not coming,’&#8221; Michael said. &#8220;Chris would tell me, &#8216;I wish I could take all of this off of you — and take it myself.&#8217;”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vanna White has been turning letters on “</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wheel of Fortune</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” for four decades and she’s not ready to stop now.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 65-year-old </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/television"><span style="font-weight: 400;">game show</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> mainstay discussed how she felt about possibly moving on from her role during an interview with <a href="https://people.com/tv/vanna-white-end-of-wheel-of-fortune-with-pat-sajak-is-depressing-to-think-about/">People</a>. While “Wheel of Fortune” host </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pat-sajak"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pat Sajak</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> has hinted at the idea of retiring soon, White admits that she’s reluctant to leave. The pair have been part of the </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment"><span style="font-weight: 400;">show</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> since 1982.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I think when [show creator] Merv Griffin chose both of us, 40 and 41 years ago, he saw something between us — a brother-sister type relationship,&#8221; White shared in the interview. &#8220;And I think that is kind of what it is. He saw that we would be able to get along, and we do. We are like a brother and sister team.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sajak said in 2021 that he and White were &#8220;closer to the end than the beginning&#8221; of their hosting career. The pair have signed on for the 2023-2024 season at least, but the future beyond that is unknown. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don&#8217;t even want to think about that. I mean, we&#8217;re a team,&#8221; White told the publication of her thoughts on retirement. &#8220;That&#8217;s depressing. I don&#8217;t even want to think about it.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The television personality also says she can’t fathom anyone else doing her job. &#8220;I just visualize us just being there. I can&#8217;t think beyond that,&#8221; White said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I can&#8217;t imagine,” she continued. “Everybody relates &#8216;Wheel of Fortune&#8217; to Pat and Vanna. We&#8217;re like Ken and Barbie, you know? We&#8217;ve been in everybody&#8217;s homes for 40 years, so it would be weird having somebody else turn my letters.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Overall, White is pleased to have a career she’s still excited about even four decades later. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;It&#8217;s incredible. I cannot believe it&#8217;s been 40 years. Honestly, I&#8217;ve loved every minute of it,&#8221; the mom of two told People. &#8220;Who still says they love their job after 40 years? Me! I really do. It&#8217;s a fun show. Everybody watches and enjoys it and it changes people&#8217;s lives and it makes people happy. So it&#8217;s a great job.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, Sajak seems a lot more open to retiring soon.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“In most television shows by this time, you would have said, ‘That’s probably enough,’ but this show will not die,” the 76-year-old host told Entertainment Tonight earlier </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pat-sajak-the-end-is-near-for-me-on-wheel-of-fortune"><span style="font-weight: 400;">this year</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “It appears I may go before the show.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Years go by fast. We’re getting near the end. It’s been a long [time]. We’re not gonna do this for another 40 years. The end is near,” he continued. “It’s an honor to have been in people’s living rooms for that long. People were out there welcoming us. We’re happy and proud.”</span></p>

<p>Country star Granger Smith said that after the death of his 3-year-old son River he &#8220;surrendered to God&#8221; as he credited his faith with saving his life in what was &#8220;rock bottom&#8221; for him.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/7-country-singers-who-remain-unashamed-conservatives">43-year-old</a> country singer said it wasn&#8217;t until he &#8220;surrendered to God&#8221; that he was able to get past what happened and find not only grief but joy again after River drowned in their pool at home in 2019, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/country-music-singer-granger-smith-turned-to-faith-darkest-times">Fox News</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, it saved my life, essentially,&#8221; Smith shared of his faith. &#8220;From the darkest of grief. My wife [Amber] and I lost our little boy.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;River was 3 years old, and we went down a journey that I thought I could fix on my own with self-help and self-improvement and exercise and positivity and visualization, meditation and devotionals,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I thought I could just mend it, fix it and move on, and I couldn&#8217;t.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Backroad Song&#8221; hitmaker then opened up about what he, his wife, and their family went through with River.</p>

<p>&#8220;Within seconds, right behind me while I was doing gymnastics with our daughter, he [River]was in the pool and had inhaled water,&#8221; Smith shared. &#8220;Became unconscious. When I pulled him out, I didn&#8217;t know CPR, besides what I had seen in the movies, and we lived out in the country.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So, it took paramedics 10 minutes to get there,&#8221; he added. &#8220;That&#8217;s too long to go without oxygen to his little brain, and it ended up being irreversible. The damage to his brain ended up killing him the next day. The months and years following were &#8230; rock bottom for me.&#8221;</p>

<p>The country star also encouraged others who were in dark times and asking the question &#8220;why God would allow this&#8221; to happen them to turn to God where he said they will learn that &#8220;nothing is an accident.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Once we know that, then we could stop saying &#8216;Why, God, why did you do this to me?&#8217; &#8216;Why would a good God allow this to happen?'&#8221; the singer shared. &#8220;Instead, we could then say, &#8216;What God? What are you trying to show me in this? What do I need to learn from this? To be closer to you. To understand you better. To help serve others around me. What do I need to know?'&#8221;</p>
<p>In 2021, Amber and Granger welcomed a son into the world, Maverick. The couple also share two other children together London, 11, and Lincoln, 8.</p>

‘Surrendered To God’: Country Singer Granger Smith Says Faith ‘Saved My Life’ After Losing His Child

Faith

<p>In the new trailer for &#8220;Harry and Meghan,&#8221; a photo was used to prove the paparazzi&#8217;s danger to the couple — but one U.K. outlet has found the image comes from something that happened five years before the couple ever met.</p>
<p>In a post on Twitter on Monday from the <a href="https://twitter.com/Daily_Express/status/1599864687708950528?s=20&amp;t=hnoZTOSUHeyH7MzRtnL5zA">Daily Express</a>, the London-based company tweeted one word, &#8220;Awkward&#8221; and included a clip showing what it said was proof that the image in the Netflix trailer about the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prince-harry">Duke</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/meghan-markle">Duchess of Sussex</a> is actually from a movie premiere from the &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; franchise in 2011.</p>
<p>In the new trailer that dropped Monday, from the duke and duchess&#8217; docuseries there&#8217;s a black-and-white photo showing a swarm of paparazzi. The outlet wrote in its post, the &#8220;photo was taken in 2011 — five years before&#8221; the former &#8220;Suits&#8221; actress and the royal met. The duke and duchess didn&#8217;t meet until 2016, the outlet noted.</p>
<p>&#8220;This snap features photographers clamoring to take pictures-suggesting they were taking images of the couple,&#8221; the outlet tweeted.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>&#8220;However, the image was actually taken at the premiere of &#8216;Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part Two&#8217; in 2011,&#8221; the outlet added.</p>
<p>The post showed that the image in 2011 was in color, while the image used in the new trailer is in black and white. It is hard to see any difference other than the colorization between both photos.</p>
<p>&#8220;The photo in the trailer comes in seconds after Harry says: &#8216;I had to do everything I could to protect my family,'&#8221; the outlet noted in the clip.</p>
<p>The image is available on a photo image website called Alamy, under the search &#8220;Paparazzi,&#8221; the outlet noted. There has been no statement from Netflix as of this publication.</p>
<p>Markle and Harry will reportedly give fans a behind-the-scenes peek into their life with their two children, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, when their <a href="https://twitter.com/netflix/status/1599736627764424709?s=20&amp;t=aGBngvtKK1QEiX9Gp5matw">Netflix docuseries</a> hits the streaming site December 8 for part one and December 15 for part two.</p>
<p>The Duchess and Duke of Sussex reportedly were &#8220;having second thoughts on their own story, on their own project,&#8221; following the late Queen Elizabeth II&#8217;s death, a source shared with <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/11/21/prince-harry-meghan-markle-netflix-show-release-date-revealed/">Page Six</a>.</p>
<p>Meghan and Harry tied the knot in 2018. In March of 2020, the duke and duchess stepped down from their royal roles and eventually ended up leaving the United Kingdom, moving to Southern California where they now raise their children.</p>

<p>Another person added, &#8220;It&#8217;s about hatred. It&#8217;s about race.&#8221;</p>

<p>The sold-out concert took place at the Hertz Arena in southwest Florida, where Rich was joined by performers Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gavin DeGraw, RaeLynn, Tracy Lawrence, and others.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just started calling friends,&#8221; shared musician and writer Ira Dean, who organized the concert. &#8220;First person I called was Ted Nugent, and he was like, &#8216;what do you need? What time do you need me there? I&#8217;m there.&#8217; Then I was like, &#8216;well, that was easy.&#8217; So I just started calling people.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Save a Horse&#8221; hitmaker is one of the few performers who have remained unabashedly conservative.</p>
<p>As the lyrics to his song &#8220;Progress&#8221; go, &#8220;There&#8217;s a hole in this country where its heart used to be, And Old Glory&#8217;s divided, on fire in the street…They say Building Back Better will make America great…If that&#8217;s a wave of the future, all I&#8217;ve got to say…&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Stick your progress where the sun don&#8217;t shine/Keep your big mess away from me and mine/If you leave us alone, well we&#8217;d all be just fine/Stick your progress where the sun don’t shine.&#8221;</p>

<p>Months after a bicycle accident landed her in the hospital with a concussion, Amy Grant recently discussed her recovery after finally being able to take the stage for a Christmas concert.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/singer-amy-grant-hospitalized-following-accident">62-year-old</a> singer said her &#8220;healing journey&#8221; has been challenging and that she forgot the lyrics to her own songs during the show, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/amy-grant-talks-healing-journey-head-injury-bike-accident-forgot-lyrics-songs-wrote">Fox News</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;Last week was my first time back on stage, and I can&#8217;t think of a more gentle way to get back into the limelight than doing a Christmas concert with my dear friend Michael W. Smith,&#8221; Grant said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was nervous that first day,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I forgot lyrics to songs that I wrote. I&#8217;m just on a healing journey, but this time here. You know, love and kindness is also very healing, and I&#8217;m not kidding – I feel filled up from head to toe.&#8221;</p>

<p>At one point, Grant, who&#8217;s married to country singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/everything-shes-been-going-through-vince-gill-updates-fans-on-wife-amy-grants-condition-after-major-accident">Vince Gill</a>, credited her husband with helping her get back on her feet and feeling like her old self.</p>

<p>&#8220;He [Gill] has just been so patient,&#8221; the Christian music singer said. &#8220;Vince has a kind of way of grounding the space that we&#8217;re in even without saying a word.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think early on I said, &#8216;What if I&#8217;m different, what if I&#8217;m not the same?&#8217; and he said, &#8216;Hey, every day we wake up a little different, and we love each other, and it&#8217;s good,'&#8221; she added. &#8220;I feel like my old rascally self.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Baby, Baby&#8221; hitmaker made headlines in July when she was riding her bike in Nashville and her tire hit a pothole, causing the singer to fall to the ground, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/everything-shes-been-going-through-vince-gill-updates-fans-on-wife-amy-grants-condition-after-major-accident">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.</p>

<p>&#8220;When she hit the pothole she was thrown from her bike and hit her head hard and was knocked out for about 10 [minutes] before being transported to the hospital by ambulance,&#8221; the singer&#8217;s rep shared at the time. &#8220;Every day she gets stronger and more alert/energetic.&#8221;</p>
<p>The accident forced her to cancel her fall tour.</p>

‘I Forgot Lyrics’: Amy Grant Talks Recovering From Major Bike Accident In July

Amy Grant Talks Recovering From Major Bike Accident In July

hospital

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Producers of the new </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/broadway"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Broadway</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> show “KPOP: The Musical” are demanding The New York Times apologize for a negative review from critic Jesse Green they described as &#8220;casual </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/racism"><span style="font-weight: 400;">racism</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We are the producers of the recently opened Broadway musical, </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/south-korea"><span style="font-weight: 400;">KPOP</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and we are writing to ask that you issue an apology to the cast and creators of our show for the insensitive and, frankly, offensive review written by Jesse Green,” a letter sent to NYT chairman and publisher A.G. Sulzberger and Theater Editor Nicole Herrington says, in part.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“To be clear, we respect Mr. Green’s right to be critical of the show. What we are asking you to address is the cultural insensitivity, underlying ignorance of and distaste for K-pop as a genre and what comes across as casual racism in his review,” it continues, per the </span><a href="https://nypost.com/2022/12/04/kpop-musical-demands-apology-after-racist-new-york-times-review/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">New York Post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “That this would be the case in The New York Times is, frankly, astonishing.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The letter, written by producers Tim Forbes and Joey Parnes, asks, “Is a Broadway show valid only if it is centered on and catering exclusively to a white, English-speaking audience?” </span></p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link" tabindex="-1" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus?utm_campaign=dwplus&amp;utm_medium=editorial&amp;utm_source=dwsite&amp;cid=dwplus&amp;mid=z&amp;xid=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus?utm_campaign=dwplus&amp;utm_medium=editorial&amp;utm_source=dwsite&amp;cid=dwplus&amp;mid=z&amp;xid=0" data-sk="tooltip_parent" data-remove-tab-index="true" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-10632">TIRED OF THE LEGACY MEDIA’S BIAS CONTROLLING THE NARRATIVE AND OBSCURING THE TRUTH? JOIN US AND SAVE 30%.</a></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Several “KPOP” cast members also called out the review, with actor Andrew Lim taking issue with Green using the descriptor “squint-inducing.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lim said Green&#8217;s word choice was an act of &#8220;disrespect&#8221; and said Green should &#8220;find better words.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If you are not an Asian American that has been made fun of for their squinty eyes or their slanty eyes, I’m sorry, I don’t want to hear from you right now. You can take a seat,” Lim </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Clh_iXMLpfw/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">shared</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on Instagram. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Green’s review mostly focuses on how the show would only be entertaining for fans with some prior knowledge of the Korean pop music genre. His “squint-inducing” line references the lighting, not the actors. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“By then, if you are not a fan, you may feel worn out by the aggressive mimicry of the K-pop performance style, not just in the mostly electronic arrangements but also in the minutely detailed choreography by Jennifer Weber, the squint-inducing lighting by Jiyoun Chang and the hundreds of can-you-top-this costumes by Clint Ramos and Sophia Choi,” Green </span><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/27/theater/kpop-review-broadway.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">writes</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“ &#8230; Those who aren’t hard-core fans of the genre or don’t understand Korean — let alone those who saw the radically different and far superior Off Broadway version in 2017 — will have a harder time enjoying this one,” he says of the show. “For them, the musical is less an eye-opener than an ear-pounder, assiduously drowning out any ambitions it may once have had to be more.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other reviews of the show were mixed, but so far, producers have only singled out The New York Times and Green for &#8220;casual racism.&#8221;  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“KPOP: The Musical” is currently playing in New York’s Circle in the Square Theatre.</span></p>
