We share a new edition of our “10 Photos That” section with some of the photos that have most amused or surprised us on social networks.

The Gay Mafia: Joni Mitchell, Elton John, Chappell Roan, Lucy Dacus and Brandi Carlisle
This weekend this improvised musical moment took place backstage at the Hollywood Bowl: Joni Mitchell, sitting in the middle, like the matriarch she is, sings 'I'm Still Standing' by Elton John alongside the aforementioned and also with Chappell Roan, Lucy Dacus and Brandi Carlisle. Allison Russell, Tim Hanseroth and Blake Mills also accompany. Carlisle has proclaimed the group the "gay mafia."

Brief meeting: Madonna and Billie Eilish
Billie Eilish has just brought the 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' tour to the Madison Square Garden venue in New York and Madonna attended the show and took advantage of the moment to meet Eilish backstage, accompanied by her daughters.

Brief meeting: Robyn and Azealia Banks
After a few attempts by Azealia Banks, the rapper managed to meet up with Robyn in Stockholm. It seems that both have met to eat at a restaurant in the Swedish capital. Is there collaboration coming?

Caroline Polachek sings Radiohead at the Orangerie Museum
On the one hand we have had St. Vincent in Spain singing in the Prado. On the other hand, Caroline Polachek has surprised by filling the Orangerie Museum in Paris with magic, dedicated to impressionist and post-impressionist art. Polachek has not sung an original song, but has chosen one by Radiohead, 'True Love Waits'.

It's not yet time for Mariah Carey to dust off the Christmas carol... but to celebrate Halloween. And that is the favorite date of Christina Aguilera, who already poses on Instagram with a pumpkin-colored dress and a Christmas tree full of specimens of this autumnal fruit.

Brief meeting: St. Vincent and Arooj Aftab
St. Vincent, who has just performed in Spain, and Arooj Aftab, who is about to perform in Spain, have met somewhere in the world, presumably in Europe, since both are touring the continent presenting their respective albums. Arooj says he "can't stop" looking at this photo and that Annie Clark is an icon.

The host of Olivia Rodrigo
Mario Vaquerizo is not the only person who has fallen from a stage in recent days. Olivia Rodrigo, in the midst of her 'GUTS' tour, had a hard time in Melbourne very recently, although she came out better than Nancys Rubias.

Brief meeting: Beyoncé and Cher
Beyoncé recently held a big launch event for her new Whiskey brand, SirDavis. There, Knowles has met another pop queen, Cher.

Brief meeting: Eminem and Barack Obama
Eminem spoke at Kamala Harris' last rally held in Detroit, and Barack Obama, who also made a speech, started rapping 'Lose Yourself'. It hasn't been enough to make Eminem smile, it seems.

Dua Lipa's strange cocktail
We can't stop sharing Dua Lipa's latest viral. In this scene, the author of 'Radical Optimism' goes overboard as an optimist, inventing a strange concoction made from Coca-Cola, pickle juice, and jalapeño juice. He says people look at him strangely, and he doesn't surprise us.
