Jax tells the Official Charts Show that her song ''Victoria's Secret'' is better than therapy for her when it comes to body positivity. ''I got to see a really impactful body positivity movement in my lifetime, and we still have a long way to go. I just told my own story in a pop song, and then a bigger story was told when people used the song to share their own experiences with their body images. That was never my intention, but I can’t express enough how much it’s helped me personally. I’ve been calling it group therapy! The reaction to the song has not only made me feel less alone, but it’s been able to accomplish something for me personally that therapy never has. I’ve been WAY more kind to myself when I look in the mirror and I feel like I made so many new friends who have been through similar things.''

John had directed both Rocky and The Karate Kid, so that lent itself to this writer's conceptual idea. It was basically a version of this: 'What if Rocky Balboa had a kid and Daniel-san had a kid and they were both f---ups and you, Ralph and Stallone, come together between New Jersey and Philadelphia to join in a Miyagi/Mickey style of fight training. People would go nuts!'"

Dear Fonseca
I am getting blowback from several parents about my son's birthday party this Sunday. I sent out invitations and included a line at the bottom that said NO HOMEMADE GIFTS. Now, several parents are jumping on me about my request. They say it's rude, crass and inappropriate. I disagree. I'm paying for a DJ, a three-man band and a fully catered lunch with a chocolate fountain. The least you and your family can do is go out and buy my four-year-old son a great gift. Whose side are you on?
