Shinedown is launching their own line of hot sauces.
Made in collaboration with the company Torchbearer Sauces, the first flavor is called Symptom Chipotle Garlic Sauce, a reference to Shinedown's "A Symptom of Being Human" hit.
"Cultivating this sauce has been a passion project and has been an absolute joy to accomplish together," says drummer Barry Kerch. "This is just the beginning of what we want to present to the fans of Shinedown. This debut 'Symptom' sauce is to be enjoyed by the masses because this one is just right. This sauce is for all of us."
"A Symptom of Being Human" is a single off Shinedown's latest album, 2022's Planet Zero.

Nick Jonas' movie The Good Half is being screened in over 900 theaters nationwide in July — but he's already lined up his next movie role.
Deadline reports Nick will co-star with Paul Rudd in Power Ballad, a musical comedy directed by John Carney, who gave us the films Once, Begin Again and Sing Street. It's about a wedding singer, played by Rudd, and a rock star, played by Nick, and "the song that comes between them," according to Deadline.
The movie is currently being filmed in Dublin, Ireland. Nick and his brothers Joe and Kevin announced in April that they were rescheduling their European tour dates to later this year due to some "exciting projects." Perhaps this movie is one of them.

Doja Cat is 28 years old, but she can claim that she's had 23 years of onstage experience.
While appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Doja told Jimmy about her first concert: Her mom took her to see Earth, Wind & Fire when she was 5 years old. "It sounds like a lie, but I was pulled up onstage, because we were in the front, and obviously, a tiny little peanut [like me] going 'Ahhh!' They're gonna...y'know, whatever. I get it."
Her second concert was Beyoncé, but for that one, she was in the "opposite" of the front row. "I was way up in the back," Doja recalled, noting all she could see was Bey's hair whipping. "I saw a tiny little Beyoncé."
During the appearance, Doja also gave Jimmy one of the hair-covered suits her backup dancers wore during her Coachella performance. He put it on and then attempted to replicate Doja's choreography.
In addition, Doja performed her song "Acknowledge Me."

Olivia Rodrigo just learned the hard way that playing in a brand-new concert venue can have its challenges.
Olivia's GUTS World Tour was scheduled to play the Co-op Live arena in Manchester, England on May 3. But the brand-new venue, which was scheduled to open on April 23, missed that date due to power supply issues. Multiple shows have been rescheduled, and then, the new opening date of May 1 was also postponed.
Now, Olivia's written on her Instagram Story, "hello! I've been having such a great time in Europe so far and I'm sooooo disappointed that we're unable to perform in Manchester due to on-going venue-related technical issues. we're doing our best to reschedule the show."
After telling fans to hold onto their tickets or request a refund, she added, "im so bummed and I really hope to see you all soon."
Harry Styles, who grew up about half-an-hour away from the arena, is among its many investors.

On May 1, American Idol season two winner Ruben Studdard and runner-up Clay Aiken were revealed as "The Beets" on FOX's The Masked Singer. But even though they had to wear crazy costumes that limited their movements, the two told Billboard that competing on Idol was much scarier.
"The interesting thing about Idol for me was obviously it was scary every week because you’re worried you’re going to go home because there’s stakes involved and it’s your life and your career," Clay explained. "On Masked Singer, we didn’t have that concern at all. We came off tour to do it and went back on tour after it and we came on knowing we were going to have fun and goof off and enjoy ourselves."
But he also noted, "I never worried about falling off stage on Idol. I was definitely worried about it every time we performed on this show."
Clay said he and Ruben had talked about being on the show over the years, but it wasn't until they went on the road together that he thinks the producers figured, "'[They're] on tour together, but people might not think of them as a duo, so that might be a way to trick the audience,' so it worked out perfectly for us."'
Asked if they were upset about leaving the show after only a few weeks, Ruben said, "I was disappointed to leave… I want to win everything. I don’t care if it’s marbles or jumping jacks — and I know I can’t do that many — but I want to win."

Dua Lipa is a global pop superstar and says the criticism she got early in her career "fueled" her into showing people they were wrong about her.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Dua says, "There can be a moment where people really love you and you feel so supported and you're like, 'Oh, this is great.' Especially in the beginning. I was doing interviews and people were like, 'How do you deal with hate?' And I'm like, 'I don't get any hate. It's great.' And then that changed really quickly."
"I remember even when it was Grammy's Best New Artist nomination and I'd won it and there was people online being like, 'She's not deserving of it. She's got no stage presence. She can't do this ... she won't be here next year.' There was a lot of that. That fueled me in a way."
She says, "Every time someone has doubted me, I've proved them wrong. ... This is pushing me to be better, to work hard. And I get a real kick out of proving people wrong."
Dua also discusses what she's learned about relationships over the past few years.
"You learn about your own nonnegotiables. I think that's an important thing," she tells Lowe. "It's of course the right person, but it's really about the right relationship. What are you willing to give up? ... Maybe you have an ick or something, or you see that someone is disloyal. I'm like, 'That's a nonnegotiable.'"
"I want someone who's loyal and open and honest, and that's what I'm willing to be as well in return," she adds. "You figure out what those things are for you."
