Jones’s other daughter with Lipton is the actress Rashida Jones. Jones has five other children, with four other women. , said, “Ivanka wants to have dinner with you.” I said, “No problem.

But anyway, is there some established consensus on how to define pop music? Is it a certain style, or is it limited to music that is popular?

There's no way I can respect an "artist" who piggybacks on oldman ghostwriters.
