Month: May 2024

Roddy Ricch had a huge debut album era with Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial: The project went No. 1 and spawned the chart-topping single “The Box.” Since then, he’s come through with the 2021 album Live Life Fast and the 2022 mixtape Feed Tha Streets III. Now he’s ready to add to his legacy once more, as he is gearing up to launch a new era.

On Instagram yesterday (May 30), Ricch shared a new image gallery, photos of him wearing a suit and blankly looking at the camera. He wrote, “2024 is PERSONAL not business.” He also indicated his next project is called The Navy Album by sharing on his Instagram Story a post from a fan page declaring, “The Navy Album era has begun.”

In his 2022 Uproxx cover story, Ricch spoke about his biggest takeaway from the first chapter of his career, saying, “A lot of times, you may get distracted by trying to rekindle relationships with different things. I feel like just what I learned is just sometimes, even if it’s broke, sometimes it’s just better not to deal with certain things or don’t let certain things bother you — everything’s not going to be perfect. Sometimes when you sit down and think about a lot of sh*t, you try to make everything perfect, and I feel like the thing I learned is it’s okay to not be perfect. There’s perfect in imperfection.”

The internet was a better place when it was 80 percent cat videos and local news bloopers. If you want to go back there — to when things were simpler and Mr. Beast meant Hank McCoy, not “the Kidz Bop version of Jigsaw” — you can, at least for one clip.

Earlier this week, Shelby Cassesse, a sports reporter for WPXI in Pittsburgh, shared footage of when she realized that her shirt was on inside out. “Nothing knocks you down a peg like realizing your shirt has been inside out the entire day. This was after an interview, a breaking news live shot and a full day of OTAs coverage. Great!” she wrote, along with the thumbs up emoji.

The exchange — which thankfully wasn’t a live shot — went like this:

Cassesse: “I have this shirt on inside out. All day.”
Cameraperson: “You have time if you want to go…”
Cassesse: I mean, you can’t really tell…”

Here’s the clip:

In the replies, someone wrote, “Laughing at our minor mistakes is good for us and everyone else! Your credibility keeps growing!” to which Cassesse responded, “Nothing to do but laugh!” It’s a good mindset to have. Cassesse, who was reporting on the Pittsburgh Steelers OTAs at the time, must have laughed a lot covering the team’s quarterbacks last season.

With how ingrained shopping and doing other things online are in our lives, this means that a ton of companies have access to our personal data. Ideally, they’re taking care to keep it safe, but sometimes, things happen. Well, it looks like a thing just happened: As Consequence notes, the hacking group ShinyHunters claims to have stolen the personal data of 560 million Ticketmaster customers.

ShinyHunters says they’ve stolen 1.3 terrabytes of data from Ticketmaster, including a lot of sensitive information: usernames, contact information, order info, and partial payment info like the last four digits of credit card numbers and expiration dates. They are offering to sell their haul for $500,000.

Ticketmaster themselves have yet to acknowledge the supposed hacking, but a spokesperson for Australia’s Department Of Home Affairs told the Australian Broadcasting Department it’s “working with Ticketmaster to understand the incident.”

This news arrives while Ticketmaster parent company Live Nation is already not having an awesome time: It was reported last week that the US Department Of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Live Nation and Ticketmaster, “accusing [Live Nation Entertainment] of illegally maintaining a monopoly in the live entertainment industry.”

Public sentiment really turned against Ticketmaster in 2022, when the platform had significant issues as tickets for Taylor Swift’s wildly popular The Eras Tour went on sale.

“The football-playing boyfriend of the world’s biggest pop star regularly wears a Happy Gilmore hat” is one of many reasons to like Travis Kelce. Also, his love of Uncrustables and “#chipolte.” With a sequel to Adam Sandler’s golf comedy in the works, has the Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs tight end heard anything from Happy Madison about being in the movie?

On a recent episode of the Kelce bros-hosted New Heights podcast, retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason brought up a Reddit fan theory that his sibling will be announced as part of the cast for Happy Gilmore 2. “I didn’t even know there was a job opening for a Happy Gilmore 2,” Travis replied. “But if there is, I’ll be a f*cking extra, anything to just get around Happy Gilmore or Adam Sandler set, count me in. Obviously, I’ve been a huge fan of the Sandman but, yes, this is exactly what it says it is – a conspiracy theory.”

If Travis is in Happy Gilmore 2, it would instantly become the best movie in the Kelce/Swift filmography.

Earlier this year, Sandler revealed that he wants the sequel to be a tribute to original cast members Carl Weathers, Joe Flaherty, and Bob Barker, who have all have passed away since 2023. “I would love [The Price is Right host] Drew Carey to be in this movie out of respect to Bob,” he said. “When we were writing stuff, Bob was alive. When we were writing stuff, Carl Weathers was alive. When we were writing stuff, Joe Flaherty was alive. It sucks, we love those guys. They were such a big part of the movie and just great people. But we’re going to get them involved somehow. They’ll be involved.”

Happy Gilmore 2 will be released on Netflix.

It’s been a long time since Selena Gomez fans have gotten to see her on tour: Her most recent tour was 2016’s Revival Tour, but Gomez ended up cutting the run short. At the time, she explained that anxiety, panic attacks, and depression are side effects of her then-recently revealed lupus diagnosis and said, “I want to be proactive and focus on maintaining my health and happiness and have decided that the best way forward is to take some time off.”

As for whether Gomez will ever tour again, that is uncertain.

In a new Time interview, Gomez said she’s “50-50” on whether she’ll hit the road in the future, explaining, “Nothing makes me happier than 90 minutes of being with my fans and just celebrating together, [but] it is very emotionally draining for me. And then you realize you’re just surrounded by a bunch of people that you’re paying.”

In that same interview, she also spoke about her pre-Benny Blanco plan to have children, saying, “I was alone for five years, and I got really used to it. A lot of people are afraid of being alone and I probably tortured myself in my head for like two years being alone, and then I kind of accepted it. Then I came up with my plan, which was I was going to adopt at 35 if I had not met anyone.”

Take a deep breath before diving into this one.

Last Thursday, May 23, Travis Scott, Tyga, Alexander “AE” Edwards, and Cher attended Richie Akiva’s annual amFAR The After party during Cannes Film Festival, where Edwards and Scott engaged in “a physical altercation,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. Several outlets reported the fight. TMZ provided grainy video showing punches thrown between Edwards and 808 Mafia producer Southside, with Scott eventually getting involved. TMZ cited unnamed witnesses claiming “Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards was the instigator, as he ran up on stage and initiated physical contact with Travis Scott.”

On Wednesday, May 29, TMZ caught Edwards, a Universal Music Group executive who has been romantically linked to Cher since late 2022, at Los Angeles International Airport and asked him about the messy ordeal.

Edwards initially played dumb when asked about the “crazy incident” before shaking his head and saying, “It’s all good.”

“Shout-out Southside,” Edwards said during the two-minute TMZ video. “That’s my n****. I know he was defending his boy and doing what he was supposed to be doing as his boy. I don’t got no hard feelings. It is what it is. It went how it went. That’s it.”

The TMZ reporter asked Edwards to clarify what initiated the fight, but Edwards declined to go into detail, saying, “I don’t wanna fight. I don’t initiate that sh*t. […] But I’m gonna protect myself and my people. That’s it. That’s all it is.” Edwards said he hasn’t spoken with Scott and didn’t have any message for him. “They got the message,” he said.

Of course, Edwards was also asked whether Cher was upset about Edwards’ behavior, and he cited Future and Metro Boomin’s “GTA” in response: “Hell nah. Like Future say, ‘Whatever I’m with, my b*tch with it, too.” Edwards laughed and clarified, “My woman, but the lyrics are the lyrics.” Edwards concluded by confirming that he and Cher are “a happy family.”

Read an excerpt from TMZ’s original report below.

“Sources familiar with the situation tell us the fight started after both Travis and Tyga were on stage behind the DJ booth … and when Richie grabbed the mic he gave props to both rappers, saying something to the effect of, ‘We got T-Raww, AE and Travis in the building.’

We’re told Travis seemed pissed he was being lumped in with Tyga — possibly a Kylie Jenner exes thing — so, Travis snatched the mic out of Ritchie’s hand, prompting AE to say something to Trav. For context, AE and Tyga are besties.”

JoJo Siwa turned 21 earlier this month, and she’s ready to be taken seriously as an adult.

In March, the Dance Moms and Dancing With The Stars alum posted to her 11 million Instagram followers, “The following content is not made for children, and may be disturbing or offensive to some viewers. May contain sexual themes, violence, strong language, traumatic scenarios and flashing lights.” The following month, Siwa’s edgy, dance-pop single “Karma” dropped. It would appear that was only the beginning.

“For the last few weeks, the world has been f*cking brutal,” Siwa said in a nine-second TikTok posted on Wednesday evening, May 29. “They’ve been talking so much sh*t. But I don’t give a f*ck. ‘Choose Ur Fighter,’ b*tch!”

Siwa posted the same video to Instagram alongside the caption, “Ready or not… here it comes.”

Siwa’s official website has also been overtaken by a “Choose Ur Fighter” graphic, featuring a loading bar and pre-save links for Apple Music and Spotify. As of this writing, Siwa has not yet confirmed the song’s release date.

In late April, Siwa performed “Karma” at Miami Beach Pride 2024.

In January 2021, Siwa posted a TikTok showing her dancing along to Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way,” which has since been liked 7.8 million times, and more definitively came out with an X (formerly Twitter) post showing her wearing a shirt reading, “BEST. GAY. COUSIN. EVER.”

“I still don’t know what I am,” Siwa told People in April 2021. “It’s like, I want to figure it out. […] But, like, I don’t know, bisexual, pansexual, queer, lesbian, gay, straight. I always just say gay because it just kind of covers it or queer because I think the keyword is cool.”

Siwa continued, “I like queer. Technically, I would say that I am pansexual because that’s how I have always been my whole life is just like, my human is my human.”

Shaboozey can already chalk 2024 in the win column. The Virginia-bred genre-bending country artist was featured twice on Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter album. “SPAGHETII” with Linda Martell and “SWEET HONEY BUCKIN’” peaked at No. 31 and No. 61 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively, but Shaboozey’s highest-career Hot 100 mark was earned solo. Shaboozey’s dropped “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” in mid-April, and since then, the unfairly catchy single peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100, spent three weeks at No. 1 on Country Streaming Songs, and inched toward the top of several other Billboard charts.

It all set the stage for Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going. Find everything you need to know about Shaboozey’s upcoming album below.
