Felicia Barton penned Lovato's song "Nightingale."
Malachi detailed the "special moment" between his mother and Lovato on set of the DCOM.
Malachi Barton wasn't the only member of his family eager to meet Demi Lovato on the set of Camp Rock 3.
"It was crazy. It was so wild," Barton began in an interview for Entertainment Weekly's recent cover story. "I personally didn't have any scenes with her, but I remember walking on set and seeing Demi Lovato walk past me. I was like, 'Demi, Demi, what are you doing here? Demi. Demi, let's hang out!'"

It may seem odd that the sale of the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Lakers would become a flashpoint for Major League Baseball's push for a salary cap, but make no mistake, the league and the MLB Players **** ociation are already teeing it up.
For all the talk by MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and other executives in the league about listening to the fans regarding implementing a salary cap, underneath the surface is something tied to it that would massively inflate owner profits: increased franchise valuations. A salary cap, with its floor, ceiling, and other constraints on player contracts, creates cost certainty and therefore improves the value of the franchise itself.
Within the last week, two club sales highlight the differences between MLB and the NBA. Both have details that provide context over some of the talking points that the headline figures provide.
On Monday, MLB's owners unanimously approved the record-setting $3.8 billion sale to the new ownership group of the San Diego Padres, led by incoming control person José E. Feliciano and his wife and business partner, Kwanza Jones. The vote, conducted by conference call, does not close the books entirely on the sale. Approval remains contingent on closing the transaction involving the controlling interest in the club with the Seidler family, which the league said is "expected in the weeks ahead."

A group led by José E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones agreed to buy the San Diego Padres for a record $3.9 billion in May of this year. The sale has now been formally approved by the other owners.
The Seidler family announced their plans to explore a sale of the San Diego Padres in late 2025. Since the passing of Peter Seidler in 2023, this had seemed like a real possibility.
Earlier in 2026, news broke that an agreement had been reached to sell the team to an investor group led by José E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones for a record $3.9 billion.
Even after an agreement, there is a lengthy process before a franchise sale can be completed. And now, it seems the final hurdle has been crossed.

This is the UFC 330 live blog for Mackenzie Dern vs. Gillian Robertson, the strawweight championship co-main event Saturday at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.
Dern is currently ranked at No. 7 on the MMA Fighting Pound-for-Pound chart, while Robertson is No. 6 at 115 pounds in the Global Rankings.
This is the first ******* le defense for Dern (16-5), who became champion this past October at UFC 321 where she defeated Virna Jandiroba to win a belt vacated by Zhang Weili. Dern, a decorated Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion prior to pursuing a career in MMA, struggled to find consistency early in her UFC career, but strung together three crucial wins to put gold around her waist. She can cement herself as the true queen of the strawweight division with an impressive performance against Robertson.
Canada's Robertson (17-8) looks to become the first woman from her country to become UFC champion. Before Robertson, Alexis Davis, Valerie Letourneau, and Felicia Spencer all had their shot, but none were able to finish the story. Robertson began her UFC run as a flyweight but dropped down to 115 pounds and has since won five straight fights to earn her shot. She currently holds the record for the most UFC submissions by female fighter (7).

Felicia, the flagship brand of Andriani Societa Benefit, announces a multi-year partnership with Juventus Football Club, becoming the Club's Official Healthy Food Partner. The agreement brings together two organisations that share values, including innovation, the pursuit of excellence and a strong focus on quality of life.
Felicia and Juventus aim to promote increasingly conscious consumption habits, highlighting the role of a balanced diet as an integral part of an active lifestyle.
Felicia will be present throughout the Juventus ecosystem through a structured program that includes brand visibility, digital content and dedicated experiences for supporters and the Bianconeri community. The agreement includes a presence at Allianz Stadium during Serie A and Italian Cup matches, activities at the Juventus Training Center and the production of exclusive content developed in collaboration with Juventus Creator Lab, providing direct access to Juventus' extensive global social media audience of more than 190 million followers.
The project will also directly involve the Club's sporting operations. Felicia products will become part of the Men's First Team's nutritional plan, confirming the shared focus on quality, innovation and wellbeing. The decision is consistent with the brand's commitment to promoting a healthy lifestyle inspired by the Mediterranean diet and biodiversity at the table, through products that are naturally gluten-free, rich in plant-based protein and whole grains and also suitable for athletes.
"This partnership marks an important milestone in Felicia's journey to strengthen its presence in the world of sport through the promotion of a positive and responsible approach to nutrition," said Marco Lentini, Marketing Director of Andriani Societa Benefit. "Working with an organisation such as Juventus means helping to raise awareness of issues related to wellbeing, taste, and the value of food biodiversity. It is the meeting of shared values and a common ability to create authentic connections between people, generations and communities.
