• Dog lovers, please arm yourselves with Kleenex in preparation for this. Fiona Apple, exceedingly verbose as always, is canceling her tour because her dog is dying. She wrote in a four-page letter (cue Aaliyah song) to fans on Facebook, "Here's the thing. I have a dog Janet, and she's been ill for almost two years now, as a tumor has been idling in her chest. ... She's my best friend and my mother and my daughter and my benefactor, and she's the one who taught me what love is. I can't come to South America. Not now." [BuzzFeed]
