Christin Stark cancels her tour
At the end of March this year, the hit couple Christin Stark, 32, and Matthias Reim, 64, became parents to little Zoe. For the singer it is the seventh child with the sixth wife, as he said on the ARD program “Schlagerboom” in October last year. For Stark it is the first offspring. No wonder that she first had to reconcile work and private life. Her emotional Instagram post shows that it’s not always that easy, with which she announces: “I’ve decided to cancel my upcoming ‘Rock my Heart – Club Tour'”.
The singer begins the post with the honest words: “1 year full of events … love and tears, happiness and fear. Extremes often go hand in hand.” The long tour preparation and the tour itself had the consequence “not being able to be at home” – with her daughter. “But that’s exactly where I’m needed at the moment,” Stark continues to understand. That’s why she made this decision, which certainly shouldn’t have been easy for her. Nevertheless, fans can breathe a sigh of relief, because Christin knows one thing: “I want and will ROCK with you again!”

Florian Silbereisen suffers from stage fright before his performances
Singer and entertainer Florian Silbereisen, 41, has been successful in show business for many years. But even the best are not spared from stage fright, as the Bavarian is now revealing. In the talk show “Riverboat”, the former DSDS juror revealed that he does not master stage performances as casually as many have previously assumed.
Before his performances, Florian Silbereisen does the following: Take a nap! In order to shield himself from the hustle and bustle, he retreats to his dressing room, throws on his bathrobe and tries to sleep – always. He therefore skips all editorial meetings: “I trust all the people who prepare it well.” Yet as soon as he wakes up again, the excitement would begin:
“The stage fright increases immeasurably and then I would prefer not to go out at all.”
He is “extremely excited” and “almost in a trance” in the “final minutes” before going on stage. “It gets worse with age,” he says. Luckily, the hit star has found a way to keep his stage fright at bay. His secret weapon? Pray! “Before I go on stage, I say a prayer.” This is followed by his ritual, in which he first crosses himself, then spits on the ground and says “toi, toi, toi” twice. This seems to have worked well over the years!
Ben Zucker’s ex Suzann Jetzkus is finally breaking up with him
In October 2021, hit star Ben Zucker, 39, and singer Suzann Jetzkus, 36, allegedly separated after a year of secret relationship. She claimed to “Bild”: “Ben was jealous of everyone and everything. He’s a person who wants everything to go the way he wants. I should stop the music, just be there for him.”
Even now, a year later, there is no hope of reconciliation. According to “Bild”, Jetzkus has now finally drawn the line and returned Zucker’s engagement ring to mutual acquaintances. Nevertheless, she wishes Ben “all the best”. But she hasn’t found a new love yet.

Helene Fischer’s sympathetic reaction to her live mistake
It has long been no secret that Helene Fischer, 38, has achieved iconic status with her stage shows: live performances are simply her great strength! Regardless of whether it’s about her spectacular dance performances or her soulful singing – Helene is a figurehead of the German music industry. All the more unusual that she made this little mistake. According to “Schlagerplanet” she forgot a whole line of her song during her rehearsal for the “ORF” show “Welcome Austria”.
With her song “When do we wake up” from her album “Rausch”, with which she is currently on tour, Helene Fischer is said to have had a small text trailer. But she would have covered this very professionally and smiled at the mistake with a “never mind, we’ll just keep going”. However, the “ORF” withheld the mistake from the viewers. But even if the pop singer had made such a mistake during an actual performance, the fans would certainly have forgiven her.

Helene Fischer loses rare words about being a mother
Helene Fischer, 38, is looking forward to her upcoming “Rausch” tour from March 2023. The singer has to prepare for a total of 70 concerts. Not such an easy task as a new mom, is it? In the ORF program “Welcome Austria” the moderators want to know more about it. “You are now the mother of a daughter. Has your work changed as a result? Were the 70 concerts agreed before you were born and you now think there are too many?” Christoph Grissemann asks and gets an unusually open answer.
“In fact, we’ve been planning the whole thing for a relatively long time, so it’s been over two years now. And somehow I could only imagine it,” explains the 38-year-old and continues: “Of course, young mothers warned me and said: ‘Are you insane to do that?!’ Now the whole thing is getting closer and now I’m also starting to notice: ‘Huppala’.” It will be a task that she feels up to, but “of course it’s a completely new phase of life now,” the entertainer is aware.
Helene also reveals a sweet detail about her little daughter: “She’s already singing. There’s already a loud voice.” There is no question who the little one inherited from.

Howard Carpendale: Selfie Premiere! But his news disappoints
For his fans, this post is a real treat! Howard Carpendale, 76, is more intimate than ever for the first time – with a self-portrait. “OK – you told me I have to throw away my old Nokia and buy a smartphone. Now I took my very first selfie, just after waking up,” he comments on the smiling early riser picture. The hit star looks surprisingly fresh after bed rest and greets his fans with a smile at his photo premiere.
However, the joy for his followers will only have been brief: “But don’t worry, not many will follow,” the singer adds as a precaution. Pity! But maybe he’ll sleep on it one more night – and let his fans get close to him a little more often in private moments in the future.
