R. Kelly music put on hold by label

Amidst sexual assault allegations against singer R. Kelly, the label RCA/Sony has decided not to put any more money behind his projects. 

The 52-year-old singer-songwriter has two more albums on his contract with the label, but now RCA/Sony has put his songs on hold until the criminal investigations finish, reports leading publication.
 
It is not clear whether Kelly has a morals clause in his contract, which could allow the flagship recording label of Sony Music Group to end their work with him. 

The Same Girl hitmaker is accused of running an 'abusive cult' in the documentary Surviving R Kelly, which claims he preyed on dozens of young women. 

Chris Pratt, Katherine Schwarzenegger engaged 

Actor Chris Pratt and girlfriend Katherine Schwarzenegger, daughter of veteran actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, are engaged.

Pratt shared the news in an Instagram post on Monday.

"Sweet Katherine, so happy you said 'yes'! I'm thrilled to be marrying you. Proud to live boldly in faith with you. Here we go," he captioned an Instagram photo of himself cuddling up to Schwarzenegger, whose engagement ring was very visible.

Pratt and Schwarzenegger were first seen together on Father's Day last year when they had a picnic in the park in Santa Barbara. They were later seen on dates around Los Angeles and outings with Jack in tow.

The engagement comes over a year after Pratt announced his separation from Anna Faris in August 2017 after almost nine years of marriage. This was the first relationship for the star since his divorce.

Pratt and Faris settled their divorce last November.

On this, Scott commented, "We'll be having kids soon, so I'll hit you up for hand me downs." 

Fans went wild in the comments section. "Omg omg omg. I'm excited!" wrote one, while another penned, "Woohoo! Those will be some beautiful hand me downs. Looking forward to seeing Beautiful Linda with a little baby bump!"
