    Hear me out. Singer FKA twigs is scheduled to take the stage Sunday at Lollapalooza. Pattinson is engaged to FKA twigs. The "Twilight" star was reportedly on hand for her show in Manchester, England, this month. Maybe he'll take in her Lollapalooza set as well?

    This is the second year in a row that Jonas is DJing at a Lollapalooza party (like I said, everyone DJs). The former Jonas Brothers singer is scheduled to spin Friday at Hub 51's lower-level club, Sub 51. Don't be surprised if you see Sports Illustrated model and Taylor Swift pal Gigi Hadid by his side. They've been spotted together often as of late.

    Lollapalooza just wasn't the same without Paul last year. Will the beloved "Breaking Bad" star -- a regular at the festival and its after-parties -- be back this year? I once saw Paul grab strangers by the hand at a Lollapalooza party and bring them into his dance circle in an effort to start a dance party. I sure hope "Mr. Lollapalooza" comes back.

    Where her brothers Danny Masterson and "Malcolm in the Middle" actor Chris Masterson go, "The Walking Dead" actress tends to go too. That was the case last year during Lollapalooza, and friend and local nightlife impresario R.J. Melman confirmed that Alanna Masterson will attend this year. Both brothers are expected to DJ The Music Lounge party Thursday at Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel, and Chris Masterson is set to DJ Saturday at Sub 51.

    Lollapalooza is right up Bush's alley and takes place in her backyard, so to speak. Bush's love of music is obvious to anyone who follows her on social media. And now that she's back in the city filming Season 3 of "Chicago P.D.," it seems likely she would take in the festivities just like she did last year.

    Speaking of being in the news, Jenner, the son of Caitlyn Jenner and a former cast member on "The Hills," is set to DJ Thursday at Parliament. Everyone DJs these days, as you probably already know. Jenner has been doing it for a few years now and will be joined by his DJing partner Devin Lucien, who happens to be engaged to "Empire" actress Kaitlin Doubleday.

    Performing at Joe's Bar on Friday will be the "X-Files" and "Californication" star. That's right: Duchovny sings. Rolling Stone described his debut album, "Hell of Highwater," which was released in May, as "moody, alt rock."
