Michael Bublé has recently explained why he incorporated Spider-Man song in his latest album, The Best of Bublé.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Michael admitted, “I wanted to be Spider-Man. I still think I’m Spider-Man. I am a huge comic book nerd. I always thought it was cool that on stage I became my alter ego — Peter Parker was me in real life and Spider-Man was me on stage.”

The musician revealed it wasn’t easy “convincing” his producers to record the song and include in his latest collection.

Recalling the song he recorded in the early 2000s, Michael mentioned, “The producer hated it. He didn’t get it or the cultural relevance of it. He’s like, ‘Yeah, man. I thought it was kind of stupid.’”

Michael opened up that the song was featured in the closing credits of 2004’s Spider-Man 2 and went on to become one of singer’s first singles.

The musician shared, “The girl who worked for the record company, her job was to guesstimate the number of copies I would sell in my lifetime. She had guessed that I would do from 50 to 150,000 copies.”

“And I asked her recently [why she lowballed it so much], and she said, ‘Chicken, your first single was Spider-Man. What was I supposed to think?’” he told the outlet.

However, Michael mentioned that the song was his personal favourite.

“I put ‘Spider-Man‘ on the ‘Best Of‘ record because my kids listened to that song 50 billion times… And there is not an Uber ride or a trip to a shopping mall that someone doesn’t walk up to me and say, ‘Oh my God, my kids listen to Spider-Man 62 times a day.’ It was like, ‘Come on, this has to go on there,’” pointed out the musician.

Reflecting on his new album, Michael added, “It was really more important for me to share in a sentimental way the songs that were my favorites and ones that had emotional value.”

Riley Keough has recently revealed she’s going to “preserve” her family home, Graceland.

Speaking to PEOPLE, the Daisy Jones & the Six actress opened up that she took this decision as the sole owner of her late mom Lisa Marie Presley’s estate and the owner of her grandfather Elvis Presley’s beloved Memphis, Tenn., mansion.

“My hope is to continue what my grandmother [Priscilla Presley] did, and then my mother did, which is simply to preserve our family home,” said the 35-year-old.

Elsewhere in the interview, Riley shared her experience of completing her mother’s memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown after her death in 2023 at 54.

“Because my mother was Elvis Presley’s daughter, she was constantly talked about, argued over and dissected,” stated the Logan Lucky star.

Riley continued, “What she wanted to do in her memoir, and what I hope I’ve done in finishing it for her, is to go beneath the magazine headline idea of her and reveal the core of who she was.”

“To turn her into a three-dimensional human being: the best mother, a wild child, a fierce friend, an underrated artist, frank, funny, traumatized, joyous, grieving — everything that she was throughout her remarkable life,” explained The Guilty actress.

Riley added, “I want to give voice to my mother in a way that eluded her while she was alive.”

Meanwhile, From Here to the Great Unknown will hit the bookstores on October 8.

The Prince and Princess of Wales thrilled fans by sharing a candid snapshot to celebrate William’s 42nd birthday. 

The heartwarming image captured William joyfully leaping off a sand dune, hand-in-hand with their three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis. Accompanied by a personal caption that read, “Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much!”, the carefree photo quickly went viral. 

Many noted its contrast to the more formal images typically released, with one royal expert suggesting that William and Kate selected the playful picture to convey a subtle message about their family and their future.

“The last few months have been a test of their strong partnership,” Jennie Bond revealed to OK! magazine, adding, “I think this photograph tells us that they are still able to jump for joy, even in the toughest of times, and that Kate has deliberately chosen a picture that speaks of their optimism for the future.

“She adores William – he is her rock and has supported her so selflessly through all of this and has taken flak from members of the public for not doing more and for devoting himself to her. So she adores her man. I think their marriage is stronger than ever.”

Jenni further noted: “These past few months have been probably the most testing time in the whole of their marriage and must have shaken them to the core. 

“To think about the future must have been incredibly unsettling, but I think that picture has been deliberately chosen to show that they are now all in a frame of mind whereby they can look to the future with positivity.”

Prince William decided to temporarily step back from his royal duties to prioritise his children and support his wife following her cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

According to royal expert Jennie Bond, this decision has likely strengthened the bond between William and Kate.

Prince Harry’s recent decision regarding the Sussexes’ partnership with Netflix has reportedly left some sources feeling disappointed. 

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex entered into a lucrative contract with the streaming platform in 2020 after stepping down from their roles as working royals. Despite this agreement, the couple is pursuing separate projects for Netflix.

Their inaugural series, Harry & Meghan, was a tremendous success, breaking multiple records on the platform. However, it has been more than a year and a half since its release in December 2022, and the couple has yet to produce another collaborative project for Netflix. 

Harry did release Heart of the Invictus in 2023, but it did not achieve the same level of success as their initial docuseries.

Currently, the Duke of Sussex is working on a solo project titled Polo. However, sources indicate that Harry will not play a significant role in the program, which will instead focus on his close friend, polo player Nacho Figueras.

A source told the Mail: “Any reasonable person tuning into a show about polo made by Prince Harry would expect Harry to take a starring role.

“That he’s not is hugely disappointing for Netflix. Let’s face it, polo isn’t exactly a mainstream sport so the attraction would have been watching Harry. Without him, it’s marginal at best.

“The Netflix deal expires next year, so the Sussexes need a big hit. This sounds like a big nothing burger.”

Another insider said: “For a show about a sport of kings, polo barely features any royalty. It’s not the Harry show, it’s the Nacho show.”

While a third source is quoted as saying: “Nice of Harry to do his mate a favour.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s contract with Netflix is set to expire in 2025.

Reports suggest that the couple is on a crucial deadline to impress executives at the streaming giant, as their contract may not be renewed unless they can deliver another project that matches the success of their debut series, Harry & Meghan.
