Entertainment news today swings from spectacle to sobriety. In Sydney, former broadcaster Alan Jones has gone on trial over 22 historical indecent assault and sexual touching charges involving six complainants, in a closely watched case expected to run for months. Elsewhere, Ariana Grande is reportedly preparing to step back from public life after her “Eternal Sunshine” tour ends in September, citing the weight of public scrutiny and pulling out of a planned West End production of Sunday in the Park with George. At the more celebratory end of the spectrum, Madonna thrilled WorldPride Amsterdam by bringing out Kylie Minogue for a surprise performance of “Love Sensation,” a rare shared-stage moment for the two pop icons. And in Nigeria, fans are mourning Juju and Highlife singer St Janet, who has died after a brief illness, closing a bold and controversial chapter in the country’s music scene.
