The 2025 American Music Awards organizers plan to make the Memorial Day holiday (May 26)… well, memorable.

With Jennifer Lopez serving as evening’s host and Janet Jackson set to receive the Icon Award, they’ve got the chart-toppers section covered. Well, chart-topper Alex Warren wants in on the fun.

Today (May 23), it was officially revealed by Billboard that the “Bloodline” singer has officially joined the 2025 American Music Awards list of featured performers.

Warren’s upcoming appearance hold sentimental weight for the singer as it is his debut award show performance. But as a result of his set, Warren’s breakout song “Ordinary” could perhaps get a boost and finally snag the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart after dominating the Global category.

The evening’s previously announced performers include Benson Boone, Blake Shelton, Lainey Wilson, and Reneé Rapp. Other notable set include Gloria Estefan, who will give her first AMAs performance in over 30 years. Gwen Stefani is also on the bill of performers. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of her album Love.Angel.Music.Baby, Stefani will treat viewers to a medley of the project’s biggest tracks.

The 2025 American Music Awards will take place on Monday, May 26, starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The show will broadcast live on CBS and stream on Paramount+.

One thing Charli XCX has demonstrated throughout the Brat era is self-awareness. She did so once again yesterday (May 22) while being named Songwriter Of The Year at the 2025 Ivor Novello Awards, when she discussed her lyrics.

Charli said (as NME reports), “As I’m sure you all agree, I am hardly Bob Dylan, but one thing I certainly do is commit to the bit.” Tongue surely in cheek, she went on to provide examples of her “lyrical genius,” including “I want to dance to me, me, me, me, me, when I go to the club, club” from “Club Classics.”

She added, “[While] some people might describe [the lyrics] as vapid and nonsensical, [I] would unpretentiously describe it as Warholian and reflective of the cultural brain rot of our time.” Charli then continued:

“To me as a songwriter, but above all, as an artist: conviction is everything. It separates the frauds from the greats, the good singers from the trendsetters. It’s Duchamp’s fountain. It’s Denniz pop, it’s David f*cking Lynch. It’s an undeniable sense of style and personality, and of course, it’s embracing the idea of daring to suck, in my opinion, from writing songs with no fear and no agenda other than making something totally reflective of who you are, come the best songs. Songs that can soundtrack a night out, a summer, or possibly even define a moment in time.”

Back in February, ASAP Rocky was announced as Ray-Ban’s inaugural creative director. For the weeks following, the “Tailor Swif” rapper and luxury eyewear company kept their lips sealed about the venture. Ray-Ban’s president Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio’s only promised that what’s to come would reinforce “the brand’s values of innovation, pioneering spirit, and courage.

Then, Rocky popped out on the 2025 Met Gala carpet with a stylish sneak peek of their collaboration. Now, the collection is out for all fashionable folks to grab. Continue below to learn more about the Ray-Ban x ASAP Rocky “Blacked Out” eyewear collection and how to buy it.

When considering pristine beaches and consistently warm water, Aruba has to be at the top of any world traveler’s list. The constituent island country is famous for its staid climate, which keeps the ocean water under your feet at a constant temperature year-round, offering an enchanting paradise of blue waves as far as the eye can see.

As one of the southern Caribbean’s premier travel locations, there’s no question that the best way to experience the island for an ideal peaceful retreat is by booking a stay at a resort, and Aruba’s Divi and Tamarijn Resort in Oranjestad has everything you can ask for in an all-inclusive stay. That goes double if you’re looking to experience a world-class cocktail program on top of all of the views, amenities, and accommodations you might typically expect.

After arriving at the resort, which was just a short drive from the local airport, I was greeted by the resort team with a full run-down of the two properties’ amenities, with special attention paid to their newly expanded list of dining experiences and a cocktail program led by an award-winning mixologist with approval from a total bev-celeb. Before my first drink was mixed, I felt all the ingredients coming together for an unforgettable getaway that you’ll be eager to savor down to the last drop.

WHY ITS AWESOME

Oranjestad, Aruba’s capital and also its most populous region, features a hot semi-arid climate, not unlike the one found in the southwestern United States. The main attraction, however, is its uncommonly warm water, sheltered by coral reefs, which keeps the water off the coast of Aruba at a near-constant temperature year-round. It’s an IYKYK feature that gives it an edge over much of the rest of the Caribbean and makes it especially attractive for bona fide beach bums.

Appropriately, the Divi and Tamarijn Resort (two properties co-joined by a 5-minute stretch of beach) is situated right on the island’s edge and has five freshwater pools. If you prefer the Caribbean’s warmest water confined to the comfort of a lounge instead of cascading against sand, they have you covered.

Each of the resort’s dining experiences is either poolside or brushed against the beach, and while the food is a highlight, the newly installed cocktail program is worth writing home about. The trendy new Club Margot bar is the jewel around which the property’s other food and beverage experiences orbit. With its upscale open-air concept, it’s classy enough to warrant a serious sit-down dinner but with an island-appropriate easy-going vibe. That mishmash of comfort and class is encapsulated by Head Mixologist Gilbert Gomez’s Honey I’m Home cocktail, a concoction that fuses Botanist Gin, housemade honey dew syrup, lime juice, and an egg white topping, which won an international accolade for excellence which is a long way of saying it tastes really damn refreshing.

IN HOUSE FOOD & DRINK

Divi & Tamarijn’s dining options are only moderately diverse, but they emphasize the quality of the food.

Paparazzi Restaurant, Bar, & Lounge

On night one of my stay, I dined at the resort’s Italian-style restaurant with a group of fellow travelers, and the Filetto Di Salmone was my main course of choice — a tender, well-cooked fish dish with balanced flavors. While it isn’t a family-style restaurant, I couldn’t resist sharing a bit of my plate with the guest to my left in exchange for the flavorful Vitello Tonnato, a thinly sliced veal with tuna créme, caper apples, and pine nuts that wasn’t as island-inspired, but equally delicious.

Red Parrot

The resort’s signature restaurant, Red Parrot, specializes in “international cuisine” in a dressy-casual setting. A starter of seafood bisque and a main of beef bourguignon charted my course to satisfaction before closing a more elevated night out with crème brulee. This restaurant hosted a number of smartly dressed couples and families, treating themselves to what was formerly the resort’s most refined dining experience.

Club Margot

Divi & Tamarijn’s newest dining option doubles as its classiest space with a jazzy, open-air concept full of Mediterranean fare with a Caribbean touch. Club Margot is also the primary stomping ground for the resort’s startender Gilbert Gomez, who can be found serving up his signature Honey I’m Home cocktail while the sound of jazz music serenades diners in the family-style restaurant and bar. The Deconstructed Gin, a clever piecemeal cocktail where you can choose your own adventure, and the Fat Joe Old Fashioned, with bacon-infused bourbon, orange bitters, and cherry syrup, are two hidden gems that are as eye-catching as they are delicious.

AMENITIES

Poolside Drink Service At Primary Pools: Swim up and get drinks poolside at the property’s largest pools with unlimited beverages available, including daily specials, beer, mixed drinks, frozen drinks, liquors, wine, and champagne by the glass.

30’ Rock Climbing Wall On The Beach: Exhilirating exercise is available just outside of the property’s state-of-the-art oceanfront fitness and activity center.

Pickle Ball Courts Available For Guest Use At Divi Village: Pickle ball is available for all guests, combining the thrill of the sport with fresh sea air.

E-Mountain Bikes And Group Tours To Iconic Spots: E-Mountain bikes are available for either casual cycling around the properties or off the beaten path, while group tours offer trips to nearby iconic island locations.

ROOM TYPES

Ocean Views: Many rooms on-property offer stunning ocean views or balconies overlooking the property’s eight pools with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Premium Bedding: There are ultra-comfy beds with both firm and super-soft pillows available as soon as guests arrive.

Bathroom Essentials: In-room bathrooms have high-end toiletries, a smart mirror with Bluetooth connectivity, and Aruba Aloe bath and hair products.

Tech: Rooms are equipped with a 55” Smart TV with Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video access for your viewing pleasure.

Climate Control: High-quality air conditioning and sliding balcony doors allow you to choose between controlled climate or the ocean breeze.

In-Room Safe: Available to store any of your valuables or precious items.

Specialty Items: Select rooms also have additional amenities like oversized lighted wardrobes and an expanded balcony or patio.

BEST THINGS TO DO WITHIN A 15 MIN WALK

Alhambra Casino And Shops
Check out the local casino for some high-rolling action, or peruse the shops which feature jewelry and other items made by local artisans.

De Palm Tours
Interested in sailing on a catamaran and snorkeling? The property is partnered with De Palm Tours to arrange some sailing fun, allowing guests to hop in the water and go snorkeling among Aruba’s famous coral reefs.

BEST THING TO DO WITHIN A $20 TAXI RIDE

Andicuri UTV Off-Road Adventure
Hands-down, the coolest thing just off-property is to explore Aruba via an Andicuri UTV off-road tour, which takes travelers along the beach and through Aruba’s semi-arid dunes for a three-hour adventure. The extended package is four hours long and comes with the added bonus of snorkeling included.

BED GAME

Having a plush bed is one of the most essential features of any vacation because you’ll want to be fully rested and recharged, whether your days are chock-full of adventures or more geared toward 24-hour relaxation. Bedside USB charging stations will keep you sunk into the pillows of your choice on either king or queen beds, with some twin beds available as well. As someone who loves their rest, I have to say that waking up was always a breeze since I had both my phone and physical batteries recharged, even after just a brief midday nap.

Rating: 10/10

SEXINESS RATING

What’s not to love about an oceanside Caribbean resort? With abundant poolside bars, incredible views, and a recently renovated interior design that felt modern and thoughtful, there’s plenty of beauty for your eyes to see. If I’m being hypercritical, I’d love to see a larger shower, maybe with a nice big bathtub for soaking, in select rooms. That said, the upscale dining options — namely, the new Club Margot, and the recent redesigns really upped the sex appeal of this property for me.

Rating: 8/10

VIEWS & PIC SPOTS

Without a doubt, the best views between the two properties can be found at the newly installed Club Margot. One of the property’s largest pools is within view on one side, and the rolling ocean waves are immediately situated on the other. Additionally, it has the property’s sexiest interior design, with a piano set up right at the bar, beautiful light fixtures, and an elegant island decor that simply captures you in its clutches. You can also take a stroll out onto a balcony directly over the water after your meal to really feel fully immersed in all of that Aruban island beauty.

Rating: 9/10

BEST TIME TO VISIT

Thanks to that year-round constant climate, which keeps the water off the coast of Divi & Tamarijn at a steady, warm temperature, it’s tempting to say the best time to visit is any time of the year — but let’s be realistic. Most vacationers will be flocking to these gorgeous twin properties in the summer months, which means that your best bet is to target a trip early in the off-season. I enjoyed a stay in late August when the property was still mostly full, but easily navigable, allowing me to enjoy all of the amenities at my leisure and secure the most coveted dinner reservations with ease.

IF I HAD TO COMPLAIN ABOUT “ONE” THING

None of these complaints is all that big, but I have three. For one, I absolutely could NOT get enough of the pistachio croissants and hot coffee at Le Café! From the moment I laid eyes on and enjoyed the two, I was hooked, but I could not have them delivered to the room, which meant a short stroll (and typically a wait in line) was necessary.

Second up? Another minor/situational complaint, but when I stayed at the resort, it was to celebrate the debut of Club Margot alongside celebrity mixologist Natalie Migliarini. Those two draws meant the place was PACKED and service wasn’t yet on its A-game. Nevertheless, the food was incredible and the drinks were unforgettable. I’m sure they’ve since worked out the kinks, making dining during peak season a much smoother experience.

Finally, a negative that can actually be spun as a positive: the location of the gym. Situated off to one side of the property while the bulk of the action is at the heart of the resort, it required my greatest stretch of walking to manage an early-morning workout. I could definitely use the extra steps after all those pistachio croissants, and the quality and cleanliness of the gym were definitely impressive, but you asked for a complaint, and I certainly would have taken more time to work out if the facility were more centrally located.

BOOK HERE

Rates for the Tamarijn all-inclusive rooms in peak season start at about $700 per night, which isn’t all that outrageous given the many amenities and options available, not to mention the time of year. Rates at the Divi property are slightly higher, offering more luxe accommodations (which are notably a bit further out from the gym, if you’re into that kind of thing).

Book your stay here.

Noah Wyle, a stethoscope, and barrels full of intensity. That’s the winning equation that led to The Pitt making HBO Max the home of an irresistible medical drama in addition to the place where dragons, finance brats, and the infected call home. Of course, viewers know that The Pitt showcased infections of a different variety, and after a breakneck, 15-hour shift for Dr. Robby and his trusty crew, HBO viewers can now look forward to a second season on Max.

In other words, there will be more hell for Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital’s doctors, nurses, and support staff, so let’s review the prescriptions (including a theory about furries) that have surfaced on what to expect.

Cast

Noah Wyle will return as Dr. Robby. As for the rest of the ensemble, early speculation has given way to Wyle hinting (via IndieWire) that he views The Pitt as a platform for up-and-coming, younger actors:

“My dad told me years ago that the key to longevity in this business is figuring out how to work with young people,” said Wyle during a recent conversation with SAG-AFTRA Foundation, “and don’t be the guy that says, ‘You know what we should do or you know what we used to do?’”

Wyle’s words virtually guarantee that we’ll be seeing returns from Taylor Dearden (as Dr. Mel King), Isa Briones (as Dr. Trinity Santos), Gerran Howell (as Dr. Dennis Whitaker), and Shabana Azeez (as med student Victoria Javadi) again. Series creator R. Scott Gemmill also noted that mostly be “the same crew” will be visible onscreen, and Gemill was candid about a central plan to bring back Patrick Ball as the troubled Dr. Frank Langdon, who would undergo substance abuse treatment in between seasonal shifts.

Plot

The diagnosis for the second season: 15 more episodes. The next shift will also be set during a holiday weekend, and to be more specific, the Fourth of July realm. Naturally, we can expect to see the standard firecracker-fueled injuries that happen in early summer and — just saying — Independence Day weekend also happens to be when the annual “premier furry convention,” Anthrocon, takes place in Pittsburgh, which prominently showcases a “Fursuit Parade and Anthrocon Block Party.”

Has HBO Max confirmed that this furries-filled event will influence the second season? Not exactly, but the theory was mentioned to executive producer John Wells, who (in a clip posted on Reddit) answered a question of whether The Pitt writers were aware of Anthrocon’s timeliness. His answer: “I can tell you right now that if they aren’t, they will be by the time I get back!”

How could they resist? Seriously. Do it.

On a more concrete note, R. Scott Gemmill revealed that picking up stories 9 or 10 months later will allow characters to grow and come back as slightly different versions of themselves, which “gives a lot of room for us to have developed a few stories in the interim, and catch up with everyone.”

That will include more personal troubles bubbling up during this second shift. Noah Wyle did tell Variety that Dr. Robby will be “no longer is able to pretend to himself that he doesn’t need help.” And as noted above, the troubles of Dr. Robby’s protégé, Dr. Langdon, will be a significant part of the show, and as Gemill stated, “I think we will pick up on Langdon’s first day back at work.” He added, “Patrick is a brilliant actor, and we love Langdon, and there’s a lot more to mine in that relationship” with Dr. Robby.

Additionally, actress Tracy Ifeachor has hinted to Us Weekly (via Deadline) that new shades could emerge from Dr. Robby’s previous relationship with Dr. Heather Collins. Ifeachor then added this disclaimer:

“I’m just going to leave it there … I’m not a [plot] ruiner. I’m not even going to tell you who is or is not going to come back. I’m just going to say I want you to watch Season 2 and just enjoy it as much as you’ve watched Season 1. Hopefully there’ll be Seasons 3 and 4 and 7.”

Well, with the success that The Pitt has seen so far, and if the show can keep nailing an annual release, the momentum should easily keep going for several seasons.

Release Date

HBO content chief Casey Bloys has been forthright about The Pitt making a speedy return rather than wait multiple years in between seasons.

A season per year? That’s the intent. Bloys told Vulture that The Pitt‘s model of shooting makes “a year later” possible, meaning that the second season should arrive in January 2026. Further, Bloys believes that “15 episodes in a year” remains “a really great addition to what we’re already doing on the platform. And I’d like to do more shows in this model.” Whew.

Trailer

Without second season footage thus far, this get-to-know video will introduce some of the younger cast members who should be coming back to The Pitt.

Since the last time Blackpink went on tour, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa have all released solo projects. But the K-pop quartet are getting back together for a 2025-2026 global trek, dubbed the Deadline World Tour.

On Friday (May 23), Blackpink released a teaser promoting the all-stadium tour, which kicks off in South Korea in July before making its way to North America, Europe, and then back to Asia. The 30-second video shows the word “Deadline” emerging from a pile of pink glitter.

Could “Deadline” also be the name of a new Blackpink album? It’s too early to say, but Lisa did recently reveal that “we were in the studio a few days ago. We’re all so super excited to get back together and go on tour. We really miss the blinks. We can’t wait to see them.”

You can watch the promo above, and check out Blackpink’s tour dates below.

Last year, Billy Joel celebrated several performance milestones. Those accomplishments include his record-setting 150th performance at Madison Square Garden as well as a co-headlining tour alongside Stevie Nicks and Sting.

Unfortunately, today (May 23), the “Piano Man” singer has cancelled all his remaining shows for the year after being diagnosed with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH). According to the Alzheimer’s Association, NPH is “a brain disorder in which excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain’s ventricles.”

Over on Instagram, Joel shared a note (viewable here) about his condition and refund information for ticketholders.

“Billy Joel has announced that he will be cancelling all scheduled concerts follow a recent diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus.” read the opening line. “This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance.”

The statement continued: “Under his doctor’s instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period. He is grateful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health.”

Joel added a touching message to fans. “I’m sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding,” he remarked.

Ticketholders will be refunded at the original point of purchase. For more information, ticketholders are encouraged to check their email.

YFN Lucci was finally released from jail earlier this year after pleading guilty to racketeering charges last January, and the Atlanta staple has made it a point to take some time off to enjoy his freedom before releasing his first new music in four years.

That music has arrived, in the form of “Jan 31st,” a moody recollection of his time inside and his release. “Aye, they was tryna give me 200 years, they was tryna hide me / How you get 200 years without a body?” he questions the authorities who indicted him on racketeering charges in 2021.

In the press release, Lucci said, “This new single is just me — raw and in the moment, making music the only way I know how; straight from how I feel. The hook is a headline of my truth, down to the artwork. It says it all. We did a fly family shoot when I came home and those photos are visuals of my heartbeats. It had to be the artwork. It represents my love for my kids and how much I missed them. When you see me stepping back into the spotlight, you’re seeing what matters most standing right beside me. The business is locked in, the vault is ready to open and I’m beyond ready to get back in motion and let the people hear me. The comeback is just the beginning.”

You can watch YFN Lucci’s “Jan 31st” lyric video above.

On the scale of “rap” to “pop punk,” MGK‘s new song “Cliché” falls closer to the Blink-182 side of things — with a lot of boy band dancing thrown in there, too. Think: a more earnest “All The Small Things” music video, minus the fake teeth. “Tell me, would you wait for me? / Baby, I’m a rolling stone,” he sings on the track, “I got a lotta right in me / But I don’t wanna say this wrong.”

Speaking of being like “a rolling stone,” MGK has crossed paths with one of his heroes, Bob Dylan. “i met and had a conversation with someone last night that i never thought i’d get the honor to meet all because of a video of me rapping in a music store 10 years ago. i love music,” he wrote on X.

MGK is referring to a video that Dylan shared earlier this year of the “My Ex’s Best Friend” singer performing at Orlando, Florida, record store Park Ave CDs in 2016. Why? No one knows! But it seemingly led to them meeting during the Hollywood Bowl stop of Dylan and Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour (MGK played the maracas). I wonder what they talked about? Maybe Bob shared his “white rapper Mount Rushmore.”

You can watch the “Cliché” video above.

Be honest, Justified diehards. After that Justified: City Primeval season finale, you perhaps thought too long about how that unanswered (?) phone call teed up a second season in the most enticing manner. Raylan Givens could easily allow himself to get sucked back into his lawman lifestyle (because let’s get real, that’s what he loves to do) after learning that Boyd Crowder was on the loose. Clearly, Boyd had the ability and the connections to go international, and that could make for an exciting followup that might satisfy those who missed Crowder too much during Raylan’s Detroit travels.

Not too long after that finale episode, Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins reunited in Thailand (while they were both filming, for Alien: Earth and The White Lotus, respectively) and Instagrammed the proof with Goggins writing, “Talk about comforts from home…Just what I needed. What a good man. The road we’ve walked.” Not even a faux-feud involving Olyphant acknowledging on-set friction could dampen resulting enthusiasm, and in fact, that might have heightened the curiosity about seeing that chemistry onscreen again.

Is Justified: City Primeval Season 2 Ever Happening?

Probably not? But “never say never.” For about a year after the first season concluded, both Olyphant and Goggins expressed that they were down with more City Primeval with co-showrunner Michael Dinner also welcoming the challenge but relating how FX must decide whether to return.

That’s where the issue has remained, and in the aftermath of his The White Lotus season, Goggins fielded the issue again and admitted to Vulture that he’s not holding his breath:

“I would be surprised if that happens. I really believe we’ve said everything we need to say, but I never say never to anything in life. I’m just so grateful that I got to say words in Boyd’s voice, and use his delivery again. I don’t know the answer to that question, but that would probably have to be down the road, and we’d be too old to do it anyway.”

He seems fairly convinced that the second season ship has sailed, and that’s fair enough. Goggins’ career has reached new heights with more time-consuming Fallout in the works, and Olyphant has been swaggering along at his usual frenetic pace with the upcoming Stick and Alien: Earth arriving this summer. They both have a lot going on, but there’s always the possibility that Goggins is pulling wool over eyes again. Remember how adept he was at keeping that season finale cameo a secret? Exactly.
