Ed Sheeran Recalls How Courteney Cox Reacted When the "S&M Mask" He Ordered Ended Up on Her Bed

Ed Sheeran Recalls How Courteney Cox Reacted When the "S&M Mask" He Ordered Ended Up on Her Bed

  • Ed Sheeran frequently crashes with Courteney Cox, and she learned the hard way he has no qualms about buying a certain type of leather accessory while visiting her.

    Ed Sheeran and Courteney Cox have made some memories for themselves that they might not want to keep photographs of inside the pockets of their ripped jeans.

    The 30-year-old “Photograph” vocalist was a guest on The Late Late Show on Monday, June 28, where host James Corden asked Ed about crashing with bestie Courteney whenever he visits Los Angeles. As Ed explained, ever since a mutual friend introduced him to Courteney, the Grammy winner has had fun ordering unexpected items to the Friends alum‘s abode.

    According to the “Bad Habits” performer, Courteney once proudly told him she could buy anything she wants from her Alexa device. This somehow led him to order what he referred to as “an S&M leather gimp mask,” as one does.

    “So, she walks out the room, and I go, ‘Alexa, order me a leather gimp mask,'” Ed shared with a laugh. “Unbeknownst to me, Courteney’s assistant opened the post, and she finds this mask and instantly goes, ‘Oh, I don’t think I was meant to see that,’ and leaves it on Courteney’s bed. And Courteney comes up, and she’s like, ‘Where did this come from?'”

    Ed continued about the actress, “Anyway, she found out the story, and now every time I go back there, I order her another gimp mask. And she has maybe 12, and I hide them in people’s bedrooms. So they’ll go in a drawer, and they’ll just find this leather S&M mask. And she had two people look at her piano to try and buy it, two absolute strangers going into her house that I found out about, so I left a couple of masks on the piano as well.”

    It should be said that Ed did not make it particularly clear whether he initially ordered the item as a prank. However, what is clear is that Courteney and Ed have a close friendship, given that the pair recently recreated Friends‘ famous dance number known as “The Routine.”

    Why they didn’t perform it while wearing leather masks, we’ll never know.

    Ed Sheeran Reveals Major Detail About Taylor Swift's ReRecorded Red Album

    Ed Sheeran Reveals Major Detail About Taylor Swift's ReRecorded Red Album

  • With five months to go until Taylor Swift drops her updated version of Red, fans are searching for any clues about the re-recorded album. Luckily, Ed Sheeran is spilling secrets.

    Everything has changed—because Ed Sheeran spilled a major secret about Taylor Swift‘s re-recorded Red album.

    As Swifties know all too well by now, the superstar singer is set to drop the updated version of her beloved record in November. But as fans eagerly await the album’s release, Sheeran—who collaborated Swift on the 2012 Red track “Everything Has Changed”—just gave everyone another reason to celebrate.

    During a June 27 interview on U.K. radio show The Official Big Top 40, Sheeran was asked when he’ll re-record his duet with Swift for Red (Taylor’s Version). His response? “I’ve already done it,” he confirmed with a smile. “I’ve already recorded it.”

    Sheeran, who also joined Swift on The Red Tour, went on to tease, “Taylor’s got a few surprises in store for you, I’ll say that.” In fact, fans on social media are pointing out that Sheeran and Swift wrote two songs together for Red, one of which didn’t make the album. So, it’s possible the unreleased track will make this new version of the album, given that it’s set to feature 30 songs.

    “Musically and lyrically, Red resembled a heartbroken person,” Swift wrote in a June 18 Instagram post. “It was all over the place, a fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end. Happy, free, confused, lonely, devastated, euphoric, wild, and tortured by memories past. Like trying on pieces of a new life, I went into the studio and experimented with different sounds and collaborators.”

    Over time, Swift noted, a part of her was healed from the heartbreak. “Sometimes you need to talk it over (over and over and over) for it to ever really be… over,” she continued. “Like your friend who calls you in the middle of the night going on and on about their ex, I just couldn’t stop writing. This will be the first time you hear all 30 songs that were meant to go on Red.”

    The 31-year-old singer—whose battle over the rights to her album masters inspired her re-recordings—also teased one of the tracks will be “ten minutes long,” an apparent reference to the unreleased version of her hit song “All Too Well.”

    You Have to Hear Ed Sheeran Gush Over Being a New Dad: "It's the Best Thing That's Ever Happened to Me"

    You Have to Hear Ed Sheeran Gush Over Being a New Dad: "It's the Best Thing That's Ever Happened to Me"

  • Last September, Ed Sheeran and his wife Cherry Seaborn announced the birth of their daughter Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran. Now, he's dishing on parenthood and what he's learned so far.
  • Watch: Ed Sheeran & Cherry Seaborn Welcome a Baby Girl

    You could say Ed Sheeran and his wife Cherry Seaborn have found love right where they are.

    The 30-year-old singer dished on his life as a new dad during a recent interview on SiriusXM Hits 1. “It is the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” he said. “There’s so many different sides and shades to it. There’s difficult days. There’s amazing, easy days. It’s just a roller-coaster of emotions. I know that sounds like a cliché thing to say, but it’s amazing. I love it.”  

    Last September, Sheeran announced that he and Seaborn welcomed their first child together: A daughter named Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran. And it looks like he’s already noticed a change in his schedule since entering fatherhood. Nope, not the sleep part. Well, probably the sleep part but he also noted he’s much more “structured” with his day when it comes to songwriting. 

    “Usually, if I was in the studio, I would just kind of work until it was done,” he explained, “whereas now, like, I did a recording session and I was in Los Angeles the other day, and, you know, producers and writers and artists…they kind of get to the studio at, like, 1:00 PM, maybe 2:00, maybe 6:00 PM, and they just kind of work into the night. But I was like, with the guy I was working with, I was like, ‘I’m going to be there at 9:00 a.m., and I’m going to leave at 5:00 p.m., and just come in any time between that.’ Cause, like, I feel like with a kid, you need a structured workday.”

    The little one isn’t the only new addition in Sheeran’s life. On June 25, he released his new song “Bad Habits” And while the Grammy winner previously joked to BBC Radio 1, Lyra “just cries” when she hears his music, it looks like she’s becoming a fan.

    “Oddly enough since I said that she actually stopped crying now when I play the tune,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s because she recognized my voice. But I’ve been playing her some of the new stuff and, yeah, she’s just cool, man.”

    Becoming a parent has also given Sheeran a new perspective on his relationship with his own mom and dad. In a separate conversation with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1’s New Music Daily, for instance, he revealed it’s “completely changed.”

    Admittedly, he said, “It was amazing before, but now it’s just like there’s this eternal gratefulness and respect of being, like, I know what they went through and I’m still kind of, like, going through it.”

    The other lesson he’s learned? “No one knows what they’re doing,” the “Shape of You” star added. “I see people, I’m like, ‘Oh my God, that guy’s the best dad in the world.’ But he started off like me, like not knowing anything. I’m learning day by day. So, I think it’s amazing.”

    Overall, he said his “lifestyle has completely shifted,” such as by getting up early and exercising.

    “I used to do everything to excess, like real excess,” Sheeran said. “Like, I would go to a restaurant and be like, ‘Oh, I like the look of that. And like the look of that. And like, I’ll just, I’ll eat all of that.’ I loved drinking everything in sight and all the other stuff. And I just found, like, when Cherry was six months pregnant, I was, like, right at this point, water might break anytime and I’m just going to stop excess and just be available and be the husband that I’m meant to be. And yeah, and then from there it’s kind of been like clean, healthy living.”

    Judi Dench’s Grandson Looks So Much Like Ed Sheeran That Fans Mobbed Him

    Judi Dench’s Grandson Looks So Much Like Ed Sheeran That Fans Mobbed Him

  • Skyfall actress Judi Dench has a grandson that looks so much like singer Ed Sheeran that fans chased after him–here’s how Sheeran saved the day.

    When it comes to resembling Ed Sheeran, Judi Dench‘s 23-year-old grandson looks perfect. 

    In fact, Samuel Williams is such a close doppelgänger of Sheeran’s that the four-time Grammy winner‘s fans mistook him for the “Shape of You” singer and crowded him for photos, per a new report in The Sun

    “I was in the crowd at one of his shows and a lot of people wanted their photo with me and it became very tight,” Williams said of the strange encounter. “People were jumping around and jumping over to get a photo.”

    The redhead tried to assure them that he wasn’t who they thought he was, “I was like, ‘I am not Ed Sheeran guys. Will you stop?'”

    Luckily, Sheeran saved the day (in partnership with his team) and helped Williams get out of the crowd. When Williams met up with Sheeran after, he explained that he was responsible for sending in the cavalry in the form of his security guard: “He said, ‘Oh yeah I sent him out. You needed the help.”

    It must’ve been a surreal experience for singer Williams who loves the musician so much that he’s tattooed the name of his albums on his body. “I have Plus, Divide and Multiply,” Williams explained, joking. “I became a human calculator.”

    Williams revealed that he has met his doppelgänger twice. “He is the most down to earth guy,” he commented. And he was approached to serve as his body double. Though he turned the opportunity down, he was clearly the man for the job.

    Ed Sheeran Channels Twilight’s Edward Cullen in Teaser for New Song “Bad Habits”

    Ed Sheeran Channels Twilight’s Edward Cullen in Teaser for New Song “Bad Habits”

  • Ed Sheeran looks straight out of Twilight in the first preview of his upcoming single, "Bad Habits." See the musician don a hot pink suit and vampire disguise below.

    Edward Cullen or Edward Sheeran? 

    Ed Sheeran (whose first name is actually Edward, apparently) has transformed into a veritable vampire for the release of his next single, “Bad Habits.” 

    The Cullen wannabe was photographed in a new teaser for the song while wearing faux fangs and baggy eyes that certainly look like they belong to the undead. His skin was pale white (and undoubtedly ice cold), and the “Perfect” singer had his signature ginger mane styled in a Twilight-esque swoop. 

    The only difference between the Grammy winner and the high school heartthrob? Ed’s eyes were bright blue—likely the work of contact lenses—while Stephenie Meyer fans know that the eyes of her Forks vampires range from golden to blood red.

    And that’s not to mention Ed’s hot pink suit… Edward Cullen could NEVER.

    It’s unclear if Ed checks off any of the other vampire hallmarks. According to Bella Swan: “You’re impossibly fast, and strong. Your skin is pale white and ice cold. Your eyes change color, and sometimes you speak like—like you’re from a different time. You never eat or drink anything. You don’t go out in the sunlight.”

    We’ll have to stay tuned for when Ed, 30, releases “Bad Habits” on Friday, June 25. It’s his first release since No 6 Collaborations Project in 2019.

    “I’ve been working away in the studio over recent months and I can’t wait for you to hear ‘Bad Habits,'” the British star said in a press release on Friday, June 11. “I always aim to push myself and my music in new directions and hopefully you’ll hear that on the new single. Feels great to be back!”

    He gave a behind-the-scenes look at the photo shoot on Instagram, sharing a pic of himself with pointy black nails. “The nails were a nightmare to try and take a piss with,” the “Afterglow” artist wrote. “Wouldn’t recommend.” 

    Fans went ballistic on his post, with one writing, “Edward Cullen is SHAKING.” Another said, “BUT THE NAILS ARE SO ICONIC THO.”

    Another social media user drew comparisons to yet another young adult franchise, saying, “no more Ron Weasley, now it’s Draco Malfoy! lol.”

    Last month, Ed seemingly dropped an Easter Egg (à la Taylor Swift) when he told BBC Radio 1 about some of the “bad habits” he’s kicked during quarantine. “I’ve been really healthy, like kind of stopped all the bad habits stuff in my life. You know, started exercising every day,” he shared. “I was eating like a takeaway every single day, and now I don’t need to take away every single day and it’s been good.”

    Specifically, he’s managed to give up indulging in “chicken wings and two bottles of wine every night.”

    “I’ve been making a lot of songs, I’ve been keeping busy doing that. I became a dad, which is a seismic change in my life,” added the father to 9-month-old Lyra

    He will next perform live at TikTok’s UEFA Euro 2020 show on June 25 at Ipswich Town’s Portman Road stadium in England.
