James Bond �lm release pushed back � months

Katy Perry expecting first child with fiancé Orlando Bloom

THE release of the James Bond film “No Time To Die” has been pushed back several months because of global con-

cerns about coronavirus.MGM, Universal and produc-

ers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli announced on Twitter on Wednesday that the film would be pushed back from its April release to November 2020.

The announcement cited consid-eration of the global theatrical mar-ketplace in the decision to delay the release of the film. “No Time To Die”

will now hit theaters in the U.K. on Nov. 12 and worldwide Nov. 25.

Concerns had already been brewing around the imminent release and the global outbreak. Publicity plans in China, Japan and South Korea had previously been canceled. And on Monday, the popular James Bond fan site MI6-HQ published an open letter to the producers urging them to delay the film’s rollout.

“It is time to put public health above marketing release schedules and the cost of canceling publicity events,” the letter said.

Hollywood film release and pro-duction schedules have already been affected by the outbreak. Last week, Paramount Pictures halted production on the seventh “Mis-sion: Impossible” film, which had been scheduled to shoot in Venice, Italy. The studio also postponed the Chinese release of “Sonic the Hedgehog.”

The coronavirus outbreak has spread globally. In all, more than 94,000 people have contracted the virus worldwide, with more than 3,200 deaths. (SD-Agencies)

SURPRISE!Katy Perry is pregnant, the singer

revealed in the music video for her new song “Never Worn White” on Wednesday.

The baby on the way will be the first for Perry with fiancé Orlando Bloom. “The Lord of the Rings” actor, 43, is already a father to 9-year-old son Flynn, whom he shares with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.

The song is all about Perry’s fears of commitment, while at the same time singing about how ready she is for a life of happiness with another person.

“Cause I’ve never worn white/But I wanna get it right/Yeah, I really wanna try with you,” the “American Idol” judge sings in the chorus. “No, I’ve never worn white/But I’m standin’ here tonight/Cause I really wanna say ‘I do.’”

During an Instagram Live after the music video premiered on YouTube, Perry confirmed her pregnancy, saying it is “probably the longest secret” she has “ever had to keep.”

“I’m late,” the “Firework” singer said after promising she’d be on Ins-tagram Live five minutes after the video dropped. “But you already knew that.”

Perry went on to reveal that her due date is sometime this summer.

“There’s a lot that will be happing this summer, not only will I be giving birth — literally — but also figuratively to something you guys have been waiting for,” she said, referring to her upcoming album.

Perry added that she and Bloom can’t wait for the arrival of their little one.

“We’re excited and happy,” she told her fans.

“You are cordially invited to the premiere of #NeverWornWhite,” the 35-year-old wrote on Instagram, along with a four-second teaser of the new song and music video. The caption (matched with the song’s title) seem-ingly references her wedding to Russell Brand in 2010, where she notably wore gray, not white.

The singer recently opened up about her engagement to Bloom with Stellar Magazine, explaining that she’s “a bridechilla as opposed to a bridezilla.” The two got engaged on Valentine’s Day 2019.

Following the engagement, a source close to the couple told PEOPLE that the two were staying “secretive” about their future “smaller and intimate” wedding. (SD-Agencies)

BRITISH rock band Genesis have con-firmed they are reforming for a 2020 tour – their first in 13 years.

Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford made the announcement during an appearance on Zoe Ball’s BBC Radio 2 breakfast show Wednes-day morning.

Revealing details of their comeback tour, they said they will perform a series of shows across the U.K. later this year.

The trio – the band’s classic line-up – will be joined by Collins’ 18-year-old son Nicholas on drums and longstand-ing associate Daryl Stuermer on guitar and bass.

Founding member Peter Gabriel, who left the band in 1975, will not take part.

Ahead of the announcement, the band dropped a heavy hint that some-

thing was brewing by posting a picture of Collins, Banks and Rutherford on the Genesis Instagram page, along with the caption: “And then there were three,” which is also the name of their first album as a trio, released in 1978 after the departure of guitarist Steve Hackett.

Formed at Charterhouse boarding school in Surrey, England in 1967,

Genesis enjoyed success with hits including “Invisible Touch,” “I Can’t Dance” and “Throwing It All Away.”

Collins joined the group as drum-mer in 1970, before becoming the lead singer following Gabriel’s depar-ture. The band split in 1996 so he could focus on his solo career.

Genesis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.

The band last performed together in 2007, when they marked their 40th anniversary with the “Turn It On Again” tour. At the time, Collins said the tour was meant to be the final farewell.

In 2018 Collins, who has had a number of health issues, told Rolling Stone magazine that he would consider a reunion on the condition that his son Nicholas would play drums, because “I don’t think I’m capable of it.” (SD-Agencies)
