Niall's debut album Flicker drops October 20, the same day On the Record will debut on the streaming platform. The doc takes fans behind the scenes as Horan works to bring his solo vision to life.
"I always knew that if I ever made a solo album what it would sound like," Horan says in a trailer. "I spent the last year and a half between the four walls of a studio and I'm ready to go and show how proud of the album I am."
Niall says Flicker traces the journey of a teenager from Ireland, from an adult perspective. Filmmakers recruited one of Horan's biggest influences to appear in the movie: Don Henley. In a brief clip, Henley says of Niall: "I'm looking forward to watching him grow." Watch a preview of On the Record: Flicker

The induction ceremony will take place one day in advance of the all-star "All In For The Gambler: Kenny Rogers' Farewell Concert Celebration" taking place at Bridgestone Arena.

In a 30-second preview clip for this week's sketch, Corden makes a perceptive comment about Cyrus. "Your tongue makes less of an appearance today than it used to," he jokes. Of course, Cyrus reacts by sticking out her tongue and Corden puts it to good use.
"That is a long tongue. Keep it there," he says as he finds some stamps for Cyrus to lick. Then, the two launch into song, belting Cyrus' 2009 hit "Party in the USA." Watch the entertaining preview

On Monday (Oct. 9), the country singer visited the Las Vegas-based hospital to meet with first responders, pose for photos, offer hugs and play some music. He wrote in one photo caption, "I needed that," a sign that he also needs closure from the trauma of the worst mass shooting in modern American history, one that killed 59 and injured more than 500.
"Thank you @umcsn for letting me stop by and hang with y'all for a little bit. Thank you for sharing your stories and your time. I needed that. #vegas #vegasstrong #firstresponders," he captions a series of photos after his visit.
In another post, Bentley poses with members of the local first responders. "Everyday heroes among us," he wrote. See the posts

The trailer also acknowledges Lovato's more than fives years of being sober. Lovato has gone on record saying that the new documentary will address her sexuality, which is subject fans have speculated on in the past.
"Just because I'm refuse to label myself for the sake of a headline doesn't mean I'm not going to stand up for what I believe in," she wrote in a Twitter post last month. "If you're that curious about my sexuality, watch my documentary." Watch the trailer below. Read more

No stranger to Yuletide musical offerings over their career - this being their seventh, the disc features many timeless holiday classics such as "Away In A Manger" and "Joy To The World," with a few new songs thrown in for good measure. New songs include the breathtaking "Come To The Manger" and the endearing "Rest In You Tonight."
Longtime tenor singer Joe Bonsall says that finding the right mix of the past and the present is a must. "First of all, we have to find songs we've never recorded before and that's always challenging. Because we've done so many Christmas albums over the years, there aren't a lot of classics left. Duane (Allen) works hard to find songs, whether it's for a regular project, a Gospel project or a Christmas project. We try to mix it up, and that's always been our goal." Read more

"Kindness Matters: Youth with high mental health inventory scores are significantly more likely to describe their environments as kind. 79% of 'mentally healthy' high schoolers say their schools are kind places," she wrote.
"However, 61% of youth describe themselves as stressed and 1 in 4 say they are nervous all or most of the time," she continued. "90% of youth think mental health is an important priority but less than half talk about it with anyone. These statistics are highlights from a 'Kind Communities Survey' done by @btwfoundation [Gaga's Born This Way Foundation] with Benenson Strategy Group. It focused on youth (15-24) and parents to explore the factors that impact youth mental wellness including their relationship and environment."
"So simply, #BeKind," she concluded. See both posts
