etonline.com – ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 17 Begins ‘Month and a Half Into COVID’ Pandemic, Giacomo Gianniotti Says (Exclusive)

Grey’s Anatomy has yet to begin production on season 17, but details are starting to trickle in on how the the series will unfold creatively. Series star Giacomo Gianniotti revealed to ET’s Katie Krause that the new season, which will feature a coronavirus storyline, will kick off “a month and a half” into the pandemic as the doctors of Grey Sloan adapt to their new reality.

“We’re going to start the season about a month and a half [into] full COVID, so it’s going to take place a little beyond where we left off in the last season,” Gianniotti said, though he hasn’t received any season 17 scripts. “We might have some flashbacks. We might have some things where we’re referencing last season, just to have context leading up. But we are going to have a little leap when we start this season in terms of time. We’re not picking up right where we left off.”

wusa9.com – JoJo Reveals How She Convinced Demi Lovato to Collaborate on ‘Lonely Hearts’ (Exclusive)

Another song that will feature on JoJo’s upcoming Good to Know deluxe edition is her new single “What U Need,” which drops Friday, Aug. 7.

The song comes out just in time for the upcoming My Friend’s Place Summer Festival, a virtual music and art fest that JoJo is performing in. The event will benefit the My Friend’s Place organization, which seeks to help those impacted by homelessness in Los Angeles.

“The issue of homelessness is one of the biggest that our city faces. And it’s particularly heartbreaking to me to see young people experiencing it. And I just know that any one of us is just one circumstance, one degree away from that being us,” JoJo shared. “The issue of homelessness is truly life or death.”

“So My Friend’s Place is making a serious difference here in Los Angeles with not only providing hope and creative outlets for these young people from ages of 12 to 25, but also actual substantial help with housing and food and education and childcare and job opportunities,” she added, “and giving them the tools to create their own path forward.”

In regard to what she’ll be performing as part of the festival’s kickoff event — Standing Together: A Virtual Concert —  JoJo shared, “A couple of my favorite songs from my new album and [I’ll be] just baring my soul, like I always try to do.”
