"The songs I learned and the style of music I fell in love with, they all happened here."Bublé decided to team up with the Scott brothers to remodel the home before giving it to Minette, his grandfather's longtime caretaker and friend.Minette and Demetrio were very close, and Bublé said she became like family "almost instantly."The Bublés decided to give Minette the home so it would stay in the family, and so that Minette wouldn't have to pay rent ever again.Bublé told the Scott brothers that she sent most of the money she made back to the Philippines for her family, so the financial gift of a home of her own would be immeasurable. <div type="image" title="Screen Shot 2020 05 04 at 2.12.34 PM" height="1683" width="2244" msid="75554527" hostid="261"></div>"He really hoped that Minnete could live here," Bublé said of his grandfather."Minette never does anything for herself, and I think my grandpa would be thrilled knowing we could maybe lessen her burden a little bit and continue having Minette help her family," the singer added. <h2>Bublé and the Scott brothers transformed the home into a more modern space before surprising Minette with it</h2>The 1970s-style home hadn't been renovated in years, so the trio wanted to give Minette a more updated place. <div type="image" title="Screen Shot 2020 05 04 at 1.47.10 PM" height="1298" width="1731" msid="75554532" hostid="261"></div>Their renovations focused on the entryway, kitchen, and living room, where Bublé said his family spent time socializing together throughout his life.Bublé was hands-on with the project, working with the Scotts on both the demolition and moving furniture into the home. However, he had to go on tour for the majority of the renovation, so he didn't see the finished product until the Scotts had worked their magic.<div type="image" title="Screen Shot 2020 05 04 at 2.07.49 PM" height="1295" width="1727" msid="75554533" hostid="261"></div>"When I walked in, I was genuinely, absolutely blown away," Bublé said of the home's transformation.<h2>Minette was overwhelmed with emotion when Bublé told her the house was for her</h2>Bublé and his family told Minette they were filming her for a documentary, and Bublé didn't reveal the house would belong to her until the renovation reveal.Minette immediately broke down in tears upon hearing the news."It's just amazing," she said of the renovation, already imagining the Christmas gathering she could host with her family from the Philippines as she looked around the house.<div type="image" title="Screen Shot 2020 05 04 at 2.04.44 PM" height="1594" width="2125" msid="75554538" hostid="261"></div>"Minette is really a special, beautiful woman," Bublé said of the caretaker who was so close to his grandfather."My grandpa would be so happy," the singer added.

Now, Lopilato has responded to defend her husband.The couple was reading a children's book together on Instagram live for parents self-isolating with their kids during the coronavirus pandemic. In the opening moments of the video, the 32-year-old Argentinian actress enthusiastically greets the viewers, speaking over Bublé.The 44-year-old singer then elbows her in the side, and Lopilato apologizes to him, muttering "perdón" and "sorry," before he pulls her toward him. Shortly after, he pushes Lopilato away after she tries to fix his hair. After viewing the Instagram livestream, Lopilato's fans took to Twitter to voice their concerns that Bublé was mistreating his wife. Some users even resurfaced old videos of Bublé and Lopilato to show that the Instagram livestream wasn't the first time they've been worried about the relationship.In one of the videos, Bublé reprimands Lopilato and says, "You're so dead," after she shows up next to him two minutes late. Another video that a fan resurfaced shows Lopilato recording herself on a front-facing camera as Bublé tells her, "I'm going to kill you."Fans also pointed out online that the singer himself has said previously that he had violent tendencies during a 2013 interview with <a href="https://torontosun.com/2013/12/02/michael-buble-opens-up-about-anger-problems/wcm/c2b8f0dc-9e87-4a5c-a4e9-4035821466c2">Event Magazine</a>."I think I'm a kind, generous, gentle soul who's an egotistical, hard f---ing a--hole. I was prone to violence as a kid, and I'll tell you now, I'm not a big man — I'm about 5 foot 10 inches and weigh about 160 pounds — but I could do it again, and probably will," he said. "And shouldn't and have every reason not to and everything to lose — but probably will do it again."As online users called out Bublé for his behavior and urged the actress to leave him, Lopilato publicly defended her husband, with whom she shares three children, in an Instagram statement she shared on Monday. <a href="https://us.hola.com/celebrities/20200413fmh2mzo9j9/michael-buble-wife-luisana-defends-husband">Hola!</a> translated the message from Spanish.

Lopilato continued, "It's not fair! This person is causing harm and taking advantage of this pandemic where people are suffering, dying and under quarantine, to gain fame and more followers. They are sharing lies and that I will not allow because they are disrespecting my family, so I ask all of you who have trusted me for years to not allow this either! Without anymore to say and doing what I believe is correct when someone comes after my family, and leave the consequences to God! The world needs more now than ever 'love, faith, values, unity and solidarity' NOT these kind of people."In 2020, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/as-the-coronavirus-pandemic-grows-so-does-domestic-violence-2020-4">domestic violence cases across the US and the globe are on the rise</a> as the coronavirus pandemic forces abusers and their victims to shelter in place together.

Michael Bublé is getting backlash after a video of the singer elbowing his wife went viral

<div class="KonaFilter image-container float_right"><div class="image on-image">Wikimedia</div></div>This is not a joke.
We asked Spotify to send us the top <keyword id="8206" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Christmas">Christmas</keyword> songs getting streamed right now.
Here is what they sent back. Apparently, Spotify listeners only want to spend Christmas with one man, and no one else. 
That man is Michael Bublé. 
Basically, listeners have his 2011 smash, "Christmas," which has sold more than 3 million copies in the U.S, on repeat.
Only Mariah Carey shakes up the list with "All I Want For Christmas Is You."
In order of most streams (Spotify did not provide raw data):
Michael Bublé - It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas Is You Michael Bublé - All I Want For Christmas Is You Michael Bublé - White Christmas - Duet With Shania Twain Michael Bublé - Jingle Bells - feat. The Puppini Sisters Michael Bublé - Holly Jolly Christmas Michael Bublé - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Michael Bublé - Christmas [Baby Please Come Home] Michael Bublé - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town Michael Bublé - Cold December Night Michael Bublé - Santa Baby
They also provided us with a separate list that uses a formula to "de-Buble" the list, at least a little. This is a bit more reasonable.
Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas Is You Michael Bublé - It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas Bing Crosby - White Christmas Michael Bublé - All I Want For Christmas Is You Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You) Elvis Presley - Blue Christmas Andy Williams - It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year Eartha Kitt - Santa Baby Wham! - Last Christmas - Single Version N Sync - Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays
We're not sure what Bublé does the rest of the year, but htis shows it probably doesn't matter.

The platform's pivot to this new product was <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/02/encores-musical-messages/">first reported by TechCrunch</a>.These "<a href="https://musicmessages.encoremusicians.com/">music messages</a>" allow music artists to have an alternative revenue stream during this time, Encore cofounder James McAulay told TechCrunch. For as low as £15, users can send a request to one of the more than 20,000 musicians on the platform to perform a song of their choosing."Even if you can't be with them in person, show a loved one you care about them by sending them a personalised song they can keep forever," Encore's website reads. "By purchasing a video you're helping support musicians who can no longer earn a living from live performance."For each performance commissioned, Encore will donate £2.50 to <a href="https://www.nhscharitiestogether.co.uk/">NHS Charities Together</a>, a collective of nonprofits supporting the National Healthcare Service, the UK's public health system.The business of music and live events has already been heavily affected by the outbreak of COVID-19, the coronavirus disease. Ticketing giant StubHub, for example, <a href="https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/28954901/stubhub-furloughs-employees-other-ticket-sites-face-challenges-wake-pandemic">has reportedly furloughed</a> more than 60% of its employees. And as social distancing is more widely enforced, hundreds of concerts - as well as spectator sports, summer festivals, and revenue-driving annual events - have been canceled or postponed, creating a domino effect felt by venues, vendors, and the artists and performers themselves.Encore's music messages platform draws similarities to <a href="https://www.cameo.com/">Cameo</a>, a platform through which people can pay up to hundreds of dollars for messages from celebrities, including prominent athletes, influencers, actors, and reality TV stars. Cameo has seen a spike in demand in recent weeks: CEO Steven Galanis <a href="https://www.insider.com/celebrities-filming-more-cameo-videos-during-quarantine-announces-cameo-con-2020-3">told Insider</a> the platform has received up to 4,500 requests per day.However, Encore is different in that it's strictly available for musicians, many less well-known. Although Encore's platform for music messages is currently only displaying 10 available musicians, Encore told TechCrunch that it would be making these message bookings available for all 20,000 musicians on the platform this week.Some of the early personalized music videos have already been created and published online, and they're wildly entertaining. Sure, there were <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOeWI1igPlc&amp;feature=emb_title">simple requests</a> for songs dedicated to friends and families for birthday and anniversary celebrations.But one musical group called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVRpHMI7mwo&amp;feature=emb_title">the Nat O'Brien Band</a> recorded a rendition of "Happy Birthday" featuring two band members who are quarantined in different households. As the singer belts out the tune, a recording of another band member playing the song on the piano is shown on a computer behind him.Other musicians have taken their requests further to perform songs featuring customized lyrics that have to do with coronavirus and quarantine. Fleetwood Mac's "You Can Go Your Own Way" was changed to "You Can't Go Your Own Way" <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6oIMUah6v0&amp;feature=emb_title">in one video performance</a>. It's unclear whether the customer or the artist wrote the new lyrics.In another birthday video, musician Sam Burkey performs a rendition of Michael Buble's "Haven't Met You Yet," featuring the line: "Every day is the same I've stopped keeping track / We've got to stay in, we can't go out."Do you have a personal experience with the coronavirus you'd like to share?
