Chaka Khan knows how to throw a party. On Friday night, she hosted a listening event for her new album“Chakzilla”at the Aman Jazz Club in New York, telling the crowd,“We’re going to listen to some of my new stuff, my new offering to you.”She didn’t stop at the new tracks, either. Khan sang along to“I’m Every Woman”and“I Feel for You”while guests including Shaggy and DJ Mia Moretti took it all in. Few artists can mix a new release with a career retrospective and make it feel effortless, but that’s the Chaka Khan playbook.
In other Page Six news, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt is carving out a creative path of her own. She sold prints and stickers under the artist name“The Tulip Fields”at a Los Angeles street fair, a quiet debut that says a lot. She’s also filed legal notices to drop“Pitt”from her surname, with a hearing scheduled for November 2. It’s a moment plenty of celebrity kids eventually face: how to build something that’s recognized for your work and not your family tree.
The rest of the day’s celebrity news kept the energy going. Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordyn Woods are guest curators for Sotheby’s“Contemporary Curated”sale, proving athletes and fashion continue to be a winning combo. A 10-year-old designer set a Guinness World Record for threading a sewing machine in just 10.5 seconds. And Sharon Horgan made her feelings about the Harry and Meghan drama very clear, saying she“couldn’t give a f—.”Which story are you talking about first?
