Hope Springs Eternal! Coachella announced its lineup this week and tickets for weekend two are on sales today (Friday, Jan. 14) after weekend one sold out. Harry Styles returns to the desert. I last saw him on the set of “Don’t Worry Darling”, the movie shot in my neighborhood of CanyonView Estates two years ago. I can’t wait to see him in the movie which is set for release later this year and on stage! Talk about versatile…
