'I've only met him in passing, but I'd love to collab with Bruno Mars one day. It'd be a lot of fun, I'm a huge fan of him,' Jin said, adding, 'I often practised my vocals by singing 'Just The Way You Are' before debut, it's one of my favourite songs.'
On May 16, the K-pop star unveiled the project featuring seven tracks: 'Don't Say You Love Me,' 'Nothing Without Your Love,' 'Loser' featuring YENA, 'Rope It,' 'With the Clouds,' 'Background' and 'To Me, Today.' JIN first announced the mini-album about a month before its release, with a statement describing Echo as offering the musician's 'perspective on universal life experiences, capturing everyday emotions with warmth and sincerity.'
The new EP arrived about a year after JIN became the first member of BTS to be discharged from the South Korean militaryEcho follows the November release of Jin's debut solo EP Happy, which reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200. The project featured single 'Running Wild,' which marked Jin's second Billboard Hot 100 entry separate from his mega-famous boy band, following 2022's 'The Astronaut'; the two tracks reached Nos. 53 and 51 on the chart, respectively.
'Built on dynamic band sounds, the album showcases his versatile vocals across a spectrum of moods and styles,' the description continued at the time. 'It reflects a deeper layer of vocal maturity and personal storytelling that underscores Jin's evolving artistry.'

Logan Lerman Puppy Interview
It's no secret that Logan Lerman has been everyone's crush forever. He's even earned the title of "white boy of the century" from everyone on the internet. So, you asked. You begged. And now it's finally happened. Logan swung by BuzzFeed to do our Puppy Interview, and it was the most wholesome thing ever. To celebrate his new movie Oh, Hi!, we asked Logan all of our burning questions about the film, like working with Molly Gordon, as well as stuff about his previous work, like The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Percy Jackson, and more. Plus, we even found time to just get to know him a little better. Oh, Hi! follows Iris (Gordon) and Isaac (Lerman), who embark on a romantic weekend road trip. However, shortly after arriving, Isaac mentions that he's not really looking for a relationship. Long story short, rather than lose what they have, Iris decides the best solution is to try to convince him they are meant for each keeping him tied to a Logan also revealed how much he loves that even after 13 years, people still come up to him and want to talk about The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and how a new generation keeps discovering it (and Percy Jackson). He talked about how his celebrity crush will always be Julia Louis-Dreyfus, so much so, he keeps asking Molly Gordon and Geraldine Viswanathan to introduce them. Logan even found time to tease what it was like joining Only Murders in the Building for the show's upcoming fifth season, saying, "It's like a real family there. It was one of the coolest pinch me moments of my career was hanging out with Martin Short and Steve Martin, and Selena [Gomez]." And yes, don't worry, we found time to ask about those Emily Henry fan casts, those grey hair photos that went viral a few years ago, and so much more. Basically, I knew Logan was a sweetheart, but now seeing him with puppies, he's somehow even more wholesome than before. You can check out Logan's full Puppy Interview below: And be sure to check out Logan in Oh, Hi!, which is in theaters now! Also, all of these puppies are available for adoption at Pawsitive Beginnings. Do you love all things TV and movies?

Beyoncé makes history with highest grossing country tour, earning over $400 million
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter concluded her groundbreaking "Cowboy Carter" tour in Las Vegas, making history with the highest grossing country tour as she surpassed $400 million in earnings. The Grammy-winning singer took her final bow on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas on July 26. She ended her run with a bang, bringing out Destiny's Child, Jay-Z and Shaboozey for surprise performances. The concert signaled the end of her "Cowboy Carter" era — a 32-stop stadium tour that spanned the U.S. and Europe. The nine-city stint grossed over $400 million with attendance over 1.5 million in its three-month run, according to Live Nation. Billboard reported Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" tour is the highest grossing country tour of all time and the shortest tour in any genre to make over $400 million. Beyoncé extends her record as the highest grossing Black artist of all time and the highest-grossing R&B artist of all time. With her "Cowboy Carter" tour, she also becomes the first woman and the first American act to have two separate tours gross over $400 million. Billboard reported Coldplay, Ed Sheeran and The Rolling Stones are the only other acts that have accomplished this feat. Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour — Act 1 — reportedly grossed $580 million in 2023. As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted the highly anticipated show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. The tour proved to be a revolutionary spectacle filled with fashion, different music genres and most notably country music and cultural commentary as she challenged industry norms. The megastar first released her eighth studio album, "Cowboy Carter," in March 2024. It has since made history and broken multiple records. As Beyoncé's first country album, she deliberately featured country legends and emerging Black country artists alike.
