During a recent stop on Lil Uzi Vert’s Pink Tape Tour, they took some time to address the crowd — with a sweet speech, and an even more exciting announcement: that their next album, Luv Is Rage 3, is coming soon.

“As long as I got respect from y’all, that’s all that matters,” Lil Uzi Vert said. “You know how many people in this sh*t used me, disrespected me, that stole my whole style when I never gave a f*ck? As long as I got y’all, we gonna keep this sh*t going.”

“All I ever wanted was respect,” they added. “I never wanted to be the richest person in the world. I never wanted to have the biggest diamonds. None of that. I just wanted all respect. So, I’mma keep rocking for now, and Luv Is Rage 3 is on the way.”

Just this summer, Uzi dropped their album, Pink Tape — but is keeping very busy to have even more new music scheduled. “You know I only drop Luv Is Rage when my heart is hurting. It’s about that time. But you know, right now,” they previously teased during a September festival set.

Check out the video of Lil Uzi Vert’s announcement below.

Sarah Silverman is (unsurprisingly) doing a bang-up job with The Daily Show guest-hosting duties this week. She nailed something else disturbing about House Speaker Mike Johnson, saw the missed opportunity within the Trump testimony, and on Wednesday night, she celebrated stunning abortion rights wins in multiple states where voters are not sitting down for draconian GOP restrictions.

On that final note, Silverman had a quick yet effective little one liner to offer about Rick Santorum’s sweater and how he feels about this virtual reversal of the Roe v. Wade reversal. Shortly after the 3:00 mark above, the comic takes note of how Santorum sounded off to Newsmax while the right-wing made sad faces about how women cannot be required to have babies.

The ex-U.S. senator from Pennsylvania’s wording, however, left (or perhaps suggested) something to be desired: “You put very sexy things like abortion and marijuana on the ballot and a lot of young people come out and vote.”

Silverman was floored: “Sexy issues like abortion? What are his porn search words?”

Well, if they are anything like Mike Johnson’s search habits, then Santorum would be sharing those habits with someone else. Maybe, just maybe, that person will have something to say.

Actually never mind, we do not need to know that information. Next?

Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t resist rubbing Donald Trump‘s legal trouble in his face as the former president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, was set to testify in the Manhattan civil fraud trial. But first, the late night host took a shot at Republicans in Congress who are once again threatening a government shutdown.

“Didn’t we just go through this last month? When did this whole country turn into a deadbeat dad?” Kimmel quipped via The Guardian before turning his attention to Trump.

“Speaking of deadbeat dads – Donald Trump was not in court today,” Kimmel said before noting that, instead, Ivanka would be taking the stand. “The ketchup on the walls is closing in,” Kimmel joked as he went to town on Trump’s numerous attempts to stall his court proceedings. “He’s a real delay-hole, this guy.”

The late night host also some fun with Special Counsel Jack Smith‘s recent scathing statement on Trump after the president attempted to delay his federal trial in Washington for his actions leading to and during the January 6 attack.

“[He] stands alone in American history for his alleged crimes,” Smith said. “No other president has engaged in conspiracy and obstruction to overturn valid election results and illegitimately retain power.”

“Which is true, and I will also add: no other president tried to overturn the results of a hurricane with a Sharpie before,” Kimmel said.

Nicki Minaj speaks, and the Barbz (sometimes) listen. With Pink Friday 2 due out on December 8, Minaj’s birthday, the call-and-response is active as ever. Last weekend, Minaj played snippets of unreleased tracks, pondered releasing an EP of said tracks, and teased a newly recorded track “Let Me Calm Down,” which she described as “one of my faves.”

After challenging the Barbz to get #TellUsNicki trending worldwide yesterday, November 8, Minaj rewarded her fan base this morning, November 9, by revealing herself on the cover of Vogue‘s December Issue. Within the accompanying profile, Minaj discussed a range of topics, including what Pink Friday 2 will sound like, but she’s still keeping one secret to herself.

“Minaj has not publicly revealed the name of her son, whom she prefers to call Papa Bear,” Vogue‘s Rob Haskell wrote. “She and [Minaj’s husband, Kenneth] Petty navigated his infancy with no help whatsoever save for an occasional brief visit from a grandparent.” However, the cover spread features a photo of Minaj cradling Papa Bear, whose name has been a point of speculation since his birth on September 30, 2020.

Ahead of Pink Friday 2, which will enjoy a supporting tour in 2024, Minaj has dropped singles “Last Time I Saw You” and “Super Freaky Girl,” becoming Minaj’s third-career No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. She also shared “Bahm Bahm” exclusively on her website on Friday, October 13.

Dua Lipa has fans buzzing, as she is just a few hours away from releasing her new song, “Houdini.” Earlier this week, Lipa gave one lucky man the first listen of the song, as she held a small pop-up party outside the BBC offices. She’s also teased that she has a larger surprise in store for London, and eventually, Tokyo and Los Angeles.

Because of Lipa’s international nature, some might wonder when they can hear the song. Here’s what to know about when it will be available to stream on Spotify.

Lipa’s “Houdini” will be out on Spotify at midnight EST on November 10. Those on the West Coast will be able to listen to the track at 9 p.m. PST this evening.

Others in different time zones would then calculate when they could hear it from the EST time. For example, listeners in London will have the song on Spotify starting at 5 a.m.

While not much is currently known about what Lipa’s new song will sound like, she has given some teasers about her follow-up album to 2020’s Future Nostalgia. Lipa previously changed her single and album covers to kaleidoscope images, leading many to suspect that it will be more psychedelic-inspired in terms of sound.

In just about a month, Nicki Minaj will release her long-awaited fifth album Pink Friday 2. The project will be the rapper’s first full-length release since 2018’s Queen. Though Minaj has delivered a healthy batch of singles over the years, a full album is truly what fans desire, and the fact that it’s a sequel to her beloved 2010 album makes it that much better for them.

Ahead of the album’s release next month, Minaj sat down with Vogue for a lengthy interview. This conversation gave some clues about the sound to expect on Pink Friday 2 starting with a quote from Minaj’s longtime engineer Aubry “Big Juice” Delaine. “Imagine a Nicki Minaj greatest hits album,” he said about Pink Friday 2, adding, “but all the songs are new.” The Vogue cover story also notes that the album was written from the “vantage point of a woman who has gotten so many of the things she dreamed about. And yet the past still tugs.”

“When I look back at a lot of my music, I’m like, Oh, my God, where was the me in it?” Minaj added. “So for this album, I went back to the old game plan.”

Elsewhere in the Vogue conversation, Minaj played a song for the interviewer Rob Haskell titled “Big Difference.” It’s described as a record that the rapper wrote “several years ago,” but recently fell back in love with. The interview goes on to say that “Big Difference” separates “Minaj and other rappers, in particular those who come casually into the game, get lucky with a hit on TikTok, and suddenly imagine that fame and clout are their right rather than the outcome of years of hard work.”

Obviously, the streaming TV situation is little light at the moment with shows being pushed back due to strikes. That cannot be helped yet, but Apple TV+ is coming your way with a must-see show, which happens to be a Band Of Brothers followup from Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television along with Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman’s Playtone. Back in 2019, Deadline reported that this series would cost $200 million to produce, and it actually looks even more expensive, so surely, that budget grew to allow for these production values spread over 8 episodes.

Masters Of The Air, which also follows Hanks and Spielberg’s The Pacific, is based upon Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name about the “Bloody Hundredth,” i.e. the 100th Bomb Group, who risked everything they had to conduct bombing raids upon Nazi Germany. Cue the terror of flying through frigid air with little to no oxygen to spare, and the series also promises “a true story of brotherhood and American airmen in WWII Europe.” Oh, and don’t pretend that you don’t see Austin Butler and Barry Keoghan up in here.

Here’s more from the Apple TV+ description:

Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of Hitler’s Third Reich, is at the heart of “Masters of the Air.” Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed. And some were lucky enough to make it home. Regardless of individual fate, a toll was exacted on them all.

Masters of the Air will premiere on January 26, 2024
