1 year ago today, “Little Black Dress” was released! A little black dress is more than just a piece of clothing, but rather a statement piece that comes with a story (or many). Always appreciative of my cowriters @lorimckennama and @philbarton222 for helping to bring this song to life!

One of my favorite songs to sing live with the wonderfully talented @joshgroban!! This performance with Josh at @radiocitymusichall following the release of “Songbird” was truly special to me.

A timeless classic by the Bee Gees! The experience of recording “Massachusetts” with the illustrious @leslieodomjr a few years back was truly enchanting. It has since become one of my cherished pieces on my album, Rita Wilson Now and Forever: Duets. This album is available on both vinyl and CD at ritawilson.com!

A year ago this weekend, @emilyshackelton and I collaborated to release “I Loved You First” to celebrate Mother’s Day ❤️ After we wrote it together in early 2023, we wanted it to be out for Mother’s Day that year. Any mother can relate to being the first to love their child from the day they’re born.

A fun one to add to your collection! I’m so happy with how this vinyl packaging turned out and thrilled to be able to share it with you all. Check the link in my bio to get yours! And don’t forget the liner notes! How great does @thetimmcgraw sound on this duet of Bread’s song IF?

@sebastianyatra my duet partner from Til You’re Home from @amancalledotto cruised into town. My dear friend @ericvetrovocalcoach joined us for dinner and impromptu listening session in Sebastian’s car which had the best speakers!

It was an UNFORGETTABLE night for @wcrfcure as we raised so much money to fund research to cure breast cancer and many other women’s cancers. @demimoore was our honoree this year. She has been an advocate for years. Tig Notaro was our fearless emcee. Wallis Annenberg was our UNSUNG HERO and singing like an angel was @theofficialsting FIELDS OF Gold, Englishman in New York, Dont Stand So Close to Me and always inspiring @trudiestyler and @melaniegriffith Thank you to everyone who showed up. 25th anniversary. Proud of this group of women I get to call friends.

#NowandThen A younger friend shared with me tonight how she watches Now and Then about once a month. This movie brought so much joy to so many!!!! Me, included. @demimoore produced this with Suzanne and Jen Todd. My friend from childhood @melaniegriffith and I finally got to work together ( we didn’t have scenes together in Bonfire of the vanities) and @rosie who has always been a friend from the day we met made for a joyous experience. Such a great young cast. Marlene king wrote the script. Leslie Linka Glatter directed. Every moment was infused with fun and laughter. The young actress who played Chrissy, the character I played as an older person, passed away at a young age. She was so sweet. Gaby Hoffman was in Sleepless with Rosie and me. Thora was such a pro as was @riccigrams Thank you Demi for casting me! Here’s a piece of trivia: this was the first time I ever sang professionally. I sang I’ll Be There the Jackson Five song. And later covered it on my Now & Forever Duets album which you are listening to if you have your sound up!

Kate Middleton, @princeandprincessofwales The Princess of Wales, with courage, has announced she has cancer. She has a right to keep her health private. We all do. Or should, anyway. Much reflection goes into whether or not one chooses to reveal a diagnosis. I hope she didn’t feel pressured, in any way, to let the world know, but I am sure her announcement will help women everywhere who may be going through cancer treatment themselves. Her message that “you are not alone” is true. I pray that she feels the support of all who wish her the best and want her health restored as soon as possible. She is a mother. Unless you’ve gone through something like this, and the mothers out there know this, all that matters is being there for your children. It’s everything you want. I hope you all send your prayers and good thoughts to Kate for a cancer free future. Xo

More London fun! You had the best energy!!! Thank you!!! @timmsy video
