Keke Palmer and SZA‘s new critically-acclaimed comedy One Of Them Days takes place in Los Angeles, but a chemistry read for the stars was held in Atlanta, the home of Magic City. The pair originally planned on hitting up the famous strip club, until one of them (OK, it was Keke) got too sleepy.

“When we first did the chemistry read, I remember we were in Atlanta,” the actress said on a recent episode of SiriusXM’s Bevelations. “We were hanging out and afterwards, I said, ‘Hey, you wanna come back and chill at my house? I know you’re in town till tomorrow. We can kick it. We can go out.’ She comes to the house. Me and her is getting into it. The drinks are flying. She said, ‘Well, hey girl, let’s go to Magic City,’ so we go to Magic.”

However, once they arrived at the strip club, Palmer told SZA, “Girl, I done fell asleep. Girl, we had too many drinks at the house.” When host Bevy Smith called her “the grandma of the crew,” the Nope star replied, “I know. Man, I used to be the main one that’s like, ‘Hey,’ but when that baby came, now that I’m a mama… The pregame gonna be the event for me.”

You can watch a clip of Palmer on Bevelations here.

Here’s more on One Of Them Days:

Best friends and roommates Dreux (Keke Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA) are about to have One of Them Days. When they discover Alyssa’s boyfriend has blown their rent money, the duo finds themselves going to extremes in a comical race against the clock to avoid eviction and keep their friendship intact.

One Of Them Days is out in theaters now.

Three NFL games remain during the 2024-25 season, which is a bit of a depressing thought for football diehards. After the beauty of the four-game Divisional Round weekend, the slate is trimmed to two games on Conference Championship Sunday. Still, both games are highly appealing and, in this space, we’ve actually found some positive traction in recent weeks.

Admittedly, it was an utterly disastrous regular season that was an outlier based on seven years of history, but we’re on a four-week winning streak overall and coming off a 4-1 performance a week ago. Before handing out a few picks for the penultimate slate, let’s take a look at the season-long progress.

• Divisional Round Weekend: 4-1
• 2025 Season: 43-55-2

Come get these winners.

Washington Commanders (+6) over Philadelphia Eagles — Widely Available

I’ll say this now. There isn’t anything this week that I would be itching to give out on a “normal” slate with 14 or 16 games on the schedule. The lines are smashed into place, and it is important to note that you simply don’t have to go crazy, even for these standalone games. With that said, I certainly lean to Washington at this price. The Commanders were good to us a week ago and, while this is an appropriate number, I am skeptical of Philadelphia’s offense with Jalen Hurts clearly not 100 percent from a health standpoint.

Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles UNDER 47.5 points — Widely Available

Same caveats apply here, especially after the line came down from 48.5 at some shops earlier this week. I do trust Philadelphia’s defense quite a bit and, while Jayden Daniels is scary with an under in play, this feels like kind of a slugfest to me.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley UNDER 131.5 rushing yards — BetMGM

It’s our first player prop of the season. In trying to get to five plays, that was a necessity and, quite honestly, principles lead the way here. Barkley might make us look bad here. He soared over his already high total last week, and Saquon’s been unbelievable all season. At the same time, this is the highest rushing yardage total you will basically ever see in an NFL game, and it’s gotten out of control. Hold your nose.

Bills QB Josh Allen anytime touchdown — FanDuel (-110)

It’s the time of year when teams are much less afraid to run their quarterbacks, and that definitely applies in Buffalo. Allen has scored a rushing touchdown in four of his last five playoff games and, when things get tight in the red zone, Buffalo projects to give him chances to haul the rock into the end zone. This is also the rare touchdown prop that is exactly at -110 alongside our other picks. Synergy.

Kansas City Chiefs (-1.5) over Buffalo Bills — Caesars, Fanatics, FanDuel, DraftKings

Honestly, my favorite thing to play with the side in this game would be a Bills teaser leg, and you could get it to +8 pretty easily. However, there is nothing on the NFL slate for me to pair it with and, well, the Chiefs laying 1.5 points at home in a playoff game is at least a lean until it isn’t. I do think Buffalo can win. I think they would win this game a decent amount of the time, actually, but we’re picking five winners here and the Chiefs are one of them.

The Las Vegas Raiders have been a bit of a wild card in the NFL’s head coaching carousel. After making the decision to move on from Antonio Pierce — who went from the team’s interim coach, to the team’s full-time coach, to unemployed in the span of about 14 months — the Raiders cast a wide net, with names ranging from up-and-coming coaches like Ben Johnson, to more established names like Bill Belichick.

Ultimately, the team decided to go with a veteran coach. According to multiple reports, Las Vegas made the decision to hire longtime Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, who stepped down in Seattle on the heels of the 2023 season. In all, Carroll spent 14 seasons in Seattle, won a Super Bowl, and accrued a 137-89-1 record.

Carroll, who turns 74 in September and is going to be the oldest coach in NFL history, will join the Raiders on a three-year deal with an option for a fourth year. He’ll take over a franchise that went 4-13 last year and is starved for success, as the Raiders have only made the playoffs twice since winning the Super Bowl in 2002. One of his first major decisions will be figuring out who will be his starting quarterback — the team has Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew on the roster, while they’re currently sitting with the sixth pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and the assumption is that both of the top QBs in this class (Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward) will be off the board by then.

Following the Raiders making their decision, the only teams that are still looking to make head coaching hires are the Dallas Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints.

Next month will mark a year since Power Book III: Raising Kanan concluded its third season. If you’re like me, you’ve been itching for new episodes from the beloved Power Universe show, and at long last, we have good news for you. Today, STARZ announced that the fourth season of Raising Kanan will premiere on March 7 with episodes in the new season premiering every Friday on the STARZ app, all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms. In a press release, STARZ promised more of the “unpredictable, star-studded, and action-packed drama” that fans have come to love in the fourth season of Raising Kanan.

Along with the announcement, STARZ shared a synopsis of what viewers can expect in the new season.

In the riveting fourth season, slates have seemingly been wiped clean for Kanan, Raq, and the rest of the Thomas family in pursuit of a fresh start. However in the eye of the storm, one very dangerous obstacle looms large, Unique is alive. Unique makes a volatile and violent return, as he hunts to upend the lives of the Thomas family. Amidst the chaos, the Thomas family faces a truth that can no longer be denied: You are who you are. Although you may be capable of change, the fundamentals remain the same, and sooner or later, you will be forced to confront the inescapable reality of your inherent nature. In season four, whether the family chooses to reject or embrace the truth may be the difference between life and death.

Raising Kanan will bring back beloved cast members like Patina Miller (Raq), MeKai Curtis (Kanan), Joey Badass (Unique), Malcolm Mays (Lou), Hailey Kilgore as (Jukebox), and more while also introducing Pardison Fontaine (B-Rilla) and Chris Redd (Early Tyler) to the crew.

We’re just a few weeks away from the season four premiere of Raising Kanan, but until then, enjoy the first look images that STARZ released ahead of the new episodes.

‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan’ season 4 premires on 3/7. Seasons 1-3 are now streaming on STARZ.

Celebrity Net Worth (which is never wrong when it comes to the website’s objective) “reports” that Kanye West‘s net worth is $400 million. He claims it’s much higher.

Earlier today, the rapper took to Instagram to post a message from Eton Venture Services, which reads, “In 2025, Ye’s net worth stands at $2.77 billion USD as confirmed by Eton Venture Services. The valuation is based on his music portfolio and his sole ownership of the Yeezy mark.”

In the caption, Kanye added, “LAA LA LA LA.” It’s presumably a reference to the “haters” doubting his net worth — which not only includes Celebrity Net Worth, but Forbes, too, which also pegs his net worth at $400 million. The reported figure would be higher if the “Carnival” rapper hadn’t “lost his lucrative multi-year deal to design sneaker brand Yeezy for Adidas after making antisemitic comments… Forbes valued the Adidas deal at $1.5 billion.”

Last September, Kanye West announced his next album. “I got a new album coming out,” he said at a concert in Haikou, China. “The album’s called Bully, and this song is called ‘Beauty And The Beast.’” There haven’t been many updates since then, although Kanye is working on another album: his kid’s. “This little girl made me love music again,” he said on Instagram about 11-year-old daughter North West. “She asked me to make beats for her I got back on the ASR Chopped up beats for her album.”

Music and basketball are not only linked through years of joint development, they are pretty much impossible to separate. As the NBA All-Star Weekend in San Francisco approaches, the bond gets deeper, with the NBA and 2K Games teaming up with Empire to release a limited-edition vinyl box set of the “season 2” soundtrack from the latest game in the series, NBA 2K25. The collaboration highlights the cultural connection between the three industries, as both Empire and 2K Games are headquartered in San Francisco, and also marks the first time the NBA has licensed their intellectual property to a record label.

The NBA 2K25 Season 2 soundtrack was curated by Empire and features the distributor’s partners like Asake, BabyTron, Key Glock, Larry June, P-Lo, Sauce Walka, and more. The vinyl will feature 13 of those songs and will be available for purchase beginning on February 14 for $150. The box takes inspiration from the game itself, with a basketball-textured box inside a hardwood-patterned outer box, which is packaged with 2K25 x Empire Basketball Keychain, an Empire “Music to Ball To” championship banner, and a redemption code for 35,000 VC in NBA 2K25, so your created players can look as good as the music sounds.

In a statement, Empire founder/CEO Ghazi said, “Our partnership with 2K allows us to merge music, sports, and tech in an innovative way that feels authentic to the Bay Area. We’ve created an experience that shapes how we play, listen, and live.”

Despite the ongoing wildfires across Los Angeles County, this year’s Grammy Awards will proceed as previously scheduled. Today (January 24), performers for the evening were announced.

The first wave of 2025 Grammy performers include Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Raye, Shakira, Teddy Swims, and Benson Boone. As each entertainer sits anxiously inside Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on February 2, they will have the chance to showcase why they secured nominations.

Charli XCX snagged eight nominations, including Album Of The Year (Brat), Record Of The Year (Brat), and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Guess” with Billie Eilish. Eilish has seven nominations to her name, including Album Of The Year (Hit Me Hard And Soft) and Song Of The Year for “Birds Of A Feather.”

Carpenter and Roan’s friendly competition will continue across the Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year, and Song Of The Year categories. Meanwhile, Shakira is eyeing another Grammy win with her nomination for Best Latin Pop Album (Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran). Raye, on the other hand, is looking to take a gramophone home for her contributions to Lucky Daye’s album Algorithm.

You can watch the 2025 Grammy Awards live via CBS on February 2 starting at 8 p.m. ET, or stream the ceremony with a Paramount+ subscription.

Ahead of the long-awaited return of Stranger Things, star Joe Keery is releasing a new album under his musical alter-ego Djo.

The Crux, which comes out on April 4, is described as a spotlight for “lush guitars and instrumentation reminiscent of late 60’s and 70’s pop,” which you can hear in first single “Basic Being Basic.” Keery — who had a TikTok-trending hit last year with “End Of Beginning” — called the track “kind of a shot fired to anyone who’s trying to be of the moment.” He’ll debut the song on The Tonight Show on January 28. But for now, you can hear “Basic Being Basic” above.

Check out the tracklist and artwork for The Crux below. There’s also the dates for Djo’s 2025 tour, dubbed the Back On You World Tour, which goes on sale on Friday, January 31, at 9 a.m. local time with a pre-sale beginning Tuesday, January 28, at 9 a.m. local time.
