Who says Austin gets to have all the celebrity fun — especially this time of year? Mya is throwing a party in Dallas to celebrate the release of her eighth studio album, Smoove Jones, and you’re invited.
The Grammy Award winner chose Big D as the only city for a release party, held March 12 at 10 pm, at Hard Rock Cafe. Tickets to the public event, which range from $11 to $103, are on sale now. Only those 21 and up can attend.
The sultry R&B singer, who hasn’t toured on her own since 2007, will perform music from her new album as well some classics. Naturally it’s not only about the music; there is merch. Fans can meet Mya and purchase CDs for $10 or calendars for $20. (Do people buy CDs and calendars anymore?)
The Dallas party takes place just a week before Mya performs live on the Outdoor Stage at Ladybird Lake at the SXSW Festival in Austin, on March 20.
And now, a break from World Cup pandemonium to talk about our favorite and most important girly-sport in Dallas: The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders will return to Netflix for season 3 of America's Sweethearts on Tuesday, June 16.
According to the streaming network, all seven episodes of the season will drop at 2 am Tuesday. Who needs to sleep?
"With 30 veterans returning to auditions and only six spots available for hopeful newcomers, the competition is fiercer than ever," says," says Netflix's Tudum. "As the DCC’s global profile grows, the women at the center must navigate a new level of attention, mounting pressure, and balancing viral visibility with the pursuit of perfection."
According to People, which got an exclusive sneak peek, the season will follow four rookie candidates - Emily A., Jenna, Parker and Journi - vying for spots on the team. In a short clip posted to People's website, the newcomers are battling deep insecurities and pressures of the audition process.
"We're all kind of like scared little puppies. It's hard to feel like you belong when you're in a room full of gorgeous, beautiful, talented women," one of the women says.

The season will also see 30 veterans vying to keep their coveted spots. And if Instagram is to be believed, one beloved squad member gets cut. (Spoiler alert: search #JusticeforKarley.)
The official America's Sweethearts trailer also sees fan favorite Reece Weaver Allman, alongside her husband, talking about the negativity she receives. (Which doesn't seem possible to those who've grown to love sweet Reece over the previous two seasons.)
The theme for this season seems to be dealing with sudden fame, trolls, and personal and professional pressures. To which DCC director Kelli Finglass says in the trailer, "That's why we need to keep them busy and focused and positive. Can't listen to the haters."
