A concert is supposed to be a happy event and a safe place, but Ariana Grande’s turned into a nightmare tonight. The singer was wrapping up her concert in Manchester, England when a loud boom, reportedly an explosion possibly a bomb, suddenly filled the Manchester Arena. Concert goers went running for safety, but not everyone got OK. Sadly, there are “multiple fatalities” and many more injured according to Greater Manchester Police.
As with breaking news of this type, there is a lot of misinformation. BBC is trying their best to keep it all straight, so you can check the site for updates.
What is confirmed by GM Police is that explosion happened around 10:35p GMT outside the concert hall in foyer area. As of 8:14p EST at least 19 souls have lost their lives, around 50 people have been injured. It is currently being treated as a terrorist incident until police determine otherwise. Ariana Grande’s rep says the singer is OK physically.
Prayers go out to everyone in Manchester especially those who were at the concert.
UPDATE: Ariana Grande has put her International tour on hold and Tweeted, “broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don’t have words.” Meanwhile, her manager Scooter Braun released this statement, “Tonight, out hearts are broken. Words cannot express our sorrow for the victims and families harmed in this senseless attack.
“We mourn the lives of children and loved ones taken by this cowardly act. We are thankful for the selfless service tonight of Manchester’s first responders, who rushed towards danger to help save lives. We ask all of you to hold the victims, their families and all those affected in your hearts and prayers.”
Before Ariana Grande was singing her own songs to packed arenas, she was singing the Star Spangled Banner at a Florida Panthers game. What a voice the 8 year old had back in 2001 when she sang the National Anthem to open that hockey game.
Ariana Grande and Liz Gillies were hanging out and they decided to try some Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll. Actually, they did a Katy Perry and tried kissing a girl to see if they liked it. Was it Victorious? I am not quite sure. But hey, it beats licking donuts, or does it?
We know that celebrities love to carry their pooches around in the purses, so Coach came up with an advertising campaign using celebs dogs. The pampered pups are Lady Gaga’s Asia, Miranda Kerr’s Frankie and Ariana Grande’s Toulouse. No word if the ads include Grande’s Beagle-Chihuahua mix licking a donut. If they did, I would buy a Coach purse.
Not only did Coach put this canines to work, they donated money to their favorite charities. Those charities are Downtown Dog Rescue, Best Friends Animal Society’s No Kill Los Angeles and Chicago French Bulldog Rescue.

Ariana Grande’s publicist wrote an apology for her licking a donut and saying that she hates America, and no one bought it. So she turned on her computer cam and recorded her own apology. I think she thinks that if you say I’m sorry enough that you will believe she is truly sorry and it’ll save her career. I will do what she did on those donuts and spit on it.
And I am sick of everyone saying she is a kid, just because she looks like one. She is 22 years old. That means she is old enough to drive, vote, serve in the military and drink. She is responsible for her actions. What she did in the donut store is something an early teen would do, and not someone in their early 20s.
What do you think of her apology? Do you think it saved her career?
