Nelly Furtado’s New Album Due Out November

Nelly Furtado’s sixth album — and first full-length in four years — will soon arrive. She tells The Times Colonistthat her follow-up to 2012’s The Spirit Indestructible this November.

The new album will be of songs Nelly wrote on the guitar, as she did with her 2000 debut Whoa, Nelly!, making The Spirit Indestructible her “final pop album.” (Translation: Don’t expect another Loose, either.)

“It’s like when you squeeze a lemon, and you really want to get out that last bit of juice,” Nelly said of the approach to her latest material. “I have shed another layer of skin.”

One song featured on Nelly’s new album is called “Phoenix,” a title she also borrowed for her July 25 concert with the Victoria Symphony benefitting Syrian refugees. “Behind Your Back,” released July 13, won’t be included. “It’s a palette cleanse…an appetizer,” she says.

Justin Bieber To Fan Throwing Gift Onstage: “I Don’t Want That Shit”

Justin Bieber had choice words for a fan during one ofhis recent concerts.

During his July 15 show in Atlantic City, someone threw him a gift onto the stage, which Justin tossed back. He wasn’t having it, not during his on-stage banter.

“Take this moment to listen. And try not to give me a hat or whatever you’re trying to throw onto the stage right now, because I probably don’t want that shit,” Justin said. The crowd cheered — never mind whoever tried to give him a present. “Sorry, that was mean.”

Justin didn’t want to be interrupted was because he wanted to stress that “we all have a purpose.” Read: he wanted to segue into the title track of his new album Purpose, which we’re sure he’s done before. “Sorry for throwing your hat,” Justin continued, “but you ruined the moment.”

Samuel Eto'o cancels charity match following coup attempt in Turkey + photos of the players there

A lot of playing and retired footballers are currently in Antalya, Turkey. Most arrived yesterday and were scheduled to leave tomorrow after playing in Eto'o's charity match scheduled to take place today July 16th in celebration of the 10th anniversary of his foundation. Unfortunately, you all know what happened in the country last night; a coup attempt that resulted in the death of over 90 people...

The dinner night held last night, but the charity football match scheduled for today has been cancelled. Some guests are even stranded in Turkey following the lockdown of their major airports.

Hazard Eden, Puyol, Michael Essien, Kolo Toure, Kanu Nwankwo, JJ Okocha, AY Comedian, Paw Paw and many others are currently in Turkey. Eto'o spent millions on first class tickets and five star hotels for his guests...unfortunately all wasted.

Why Turkish soldiers staged a coup — and ultimately failed

An attempted military coup by a faction within the Turkish armed forces calling itself the"Peace at Home Council" was stifled in less than 24 hours after Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on his supporters to take to the streets and repel the uprising.

Earlier Friday night, the soldiers stormed Turkey's state-run broadcaster and said they had seized power, taken over the government, and declared martial law. They deployed forces onto the streets of Istanbul and Ankara, Turkey's largest city and capital, respectively, and closed two major bridges leading into Istanbul.

At least256 people were killed in the clashes, according to Turkey's prime minister. But the uprising itself was repelled rather quickly. Many soldiers were either arrested, had been brutally beaten by protesters, or surrendered by early Saturday morning, allowing the Turkish government to regain almost complete control within 24 hours.

"I predicted this would fail from early on, because all of Turkey's opposition parties came out against the coup from the beginning," Aykan Erdemir, a former member of Turkish parliament and senior fellow at the Washington, DC-based think tank Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Business Insider on Saturday.

Turkey has seen several military coups over the last 50 years, but this latest attempt is different

The Turkish military apparently staged a coup on Friday night, deploying military into the streets of Istanbul and Ankara, Turkey's largest city and capital, respectively.

"Turkish Armed Forces have completely taken over the administration of the country to reinstate constitutional order, human rights and freedoms, the rule of law, and the general security that was damaged," a statement, published by a group calling itself the "Peace at Home Council" on TRT, Turkey's state-run broadcaster, read.

But Turkish citizens began flooding the streets in support of President Tayyip Recep Erdogan after he called for citizens to gather and repel the coup.

The military in Turkey has forced out four civilian governments since 1960.
