John Lennon & Yoko Ono's Rare Signed 'Double Fantasy' Album For Sale
Calling all music enthusiasts … got deep pockets? If so, a signed copy of John Lennon and Yoko Ono‘s “Double Fantasy” album is up for grabs.
MomentsinTime.com has listed this rare gem from a private collector — and it can be all yours for $54,000.
Fun fact: Yoko’s signature doesn’t really affect the price. Her signed items don’t fetch much on their own, so the value is all down to Lennon’s signature.
Nonetheless, the album is the holy grail for collectors — especially since it dropped just 3 weeks before John’s tragic murder in 1980.
“Double Fantasy” was John and Yoko’s 5th and final studio album. It got some initial hate, but after John’s murder, it shot to worldwide fame, snagging the Album of the Year Grammy in 1981.
Of course, Lennon already had a few Grammys with The Beatles — And, as we all know, tons of their iconic memorabilia have gone for hundreds of thousands at auction.
From signatures to unseen movie footage and lost recording tapes, the music collectors’ industry is always buzzing to get their hands on Fab 4’s items.

Khalid Comes Out As Gay, Says He Was Outed
Khalid just confirmed he is gay … coming out after claiming he was outed.
The R&B hitmaker posted a rainbow flag emoji on his X account Friday night and added, “there yall go. next topic please lol.”
Khalid’s tweet came after another singer seemingly outed him on social media … and fans were quick to reply to Khalid’s post.
One response led Khalid to clarify … someone replied, “Wait hope Mr Khalid isn’t GEHHH!” and then Khalid quote tweeted and declared, “I am! And, that’s okay.”
Khalid kept posting through it, explaining … “I got outted and the world still continues to turn. Let’s get this straight (lmao) I am not ashamed of my sexuality! In reality it ain’t nobodies business! But I am okay with me. love yall”
It appears Khalid is referencing a series of since-deleted posts from singer Hugo D Almonte … with Almonte reportedly outing Khalid.
Most folks in the comments are being supportive, with some saying it’s not a huge shock … pointing to his 2022 song, “Satellite,” which some say is an LGBTQ anthem.”
Khalid confirmed as such, adding … “I wasn’t hiding anything! It’s just not any of your business.”

Jonathan Majors and ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari settle assault and defamation case
Jonathan Majors’ former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, has agreed to dismiss a lawsuit alleging that the actor assaulted and defamed her.
In a civil lawsuit filed in New York in March, Jabbari accused her former partner of a “pattern of pervasive domestic abuse that began in 2021 and extended through 2023.” In court documents filed in New York on Thursday, their attorneys jointly agreed to dismiss the claims against Majors with prejudice – meaning that the claims can’t be filed again.
In a statement to NPR, Jabbari’s attorney, Brad Edwards, wrote, “We are happy to announce that the meritorious lawsuit Grace Jabbari filed against Jonathan Majors was successfully settled. It took tremendous courage for Grace to pursue this case. We are happy to have helped her close this chapter favorably so that she can move forward and begin to finally heal.”
NPR has reached out to Majors’ attorneys for comment about the dismissal.
In a separate domestic violence case in 2023, Majors was convicted of misdemeanor assault and harassment charges. Prosecutors argued that Majors had attacked Jabbari, his then-girlfriend, in the back of a car in Manhattan on March 25 of that year. Later that night, he returned to their hotel and called 911 to report that he’d found Jabbari “unconscious,” but was arrested when police found her with a broken finger in addition to bruises and cuts on her body. Earlier this year, he was sentenced to probation and enrolled in a domestic violence prevention program.
Jabbari’s civil suit was filed just before Majors was sentenced in criminal court this spring. She alleged that in addition to assault and battery, Majors also defamed her, “smearing” her name following his arrest and conviction. At the time, Majors’ lawyer said they would be preparing counterclaims.
Majors had been a rising star in Hollywood, playing Kang the Conqueror in Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and starring alongside Michael B. Jordan in Creed III. He was set to portray Kang in upcoming movies, but Marvel and Disney dropped the actor following his conviction. He and actress Meagan Good announced their engagement at an event on November 17.
