There was a minute there, when Janelle Monáe began the promotional cycle for her album Lipstick Lover, when it seemed like every day, she was grabbing headlines for primarily NSFW or NSFW-adjacent reasons. She turned heads by dancing at a Met Gala after party and then turned even more with a wet t-shirt teaser video, and it continued from there. Monáe has been quieter on that front lately, but recently, the multi-hyphenate was spotted at Magic City, Atlanta’s famous strip club.

In a brief video clip, Monáe wears a relatively conservative dress as her own “Lipstick Lover” plays in the background. Standing on stage and holding onto a pole, Monáe busts out some simple dance moves that are good enough to get some dollar bills thrown in the air.

Monáe found herself in Atlanta as part of her tour in support of Lipstick Lover. She performed at the city’s Fox Theater on October 6, and Quavo even popped up to rap his part from Monáe’s recently released “Champagne Sh*t” remix,” which also features Latto.

Yesterday (October 9), Monáe shared a social media post reflecting on the show, writing, “I fail every time I try and describe this experience. Our safe oasis in every city. 6 more to go and I don’t want it to end. I love y’all so much and thank you for being on this journey with us.”

Janelle Monáe is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Hip-hop’s 50th-anniversary events have highlighted the lack of tributes to the Midwest’s major players. Rising acts, including “Safe 2” rapper Veeze, proudly carry the torch for their hometowns. For Veeze, that’s Detroit, Michigan. On his latest album, Ganger, which features appearances by Lil Uzi Vert, Babyface Ray, Lucki, and Icewear Vezzo, Veeze proves that the city’s impact in the genre should not be ignored.

In a post uploaded to his official X (formerly Twitter) page, Veeze confirmed the release date for his Ganger deluxe project and more. “‘Deluxe’ drops on 13th & next album 2025,” wrote Veeze.

So, what are Veeze’s plans in-between projects? Beginning today (October 10), Veeze will kick off The Ganger Tour, featuring special guests Talibando and Anycia in New York City at the Gramercy Theatre. The country-wide run will run until November 21, which concludes at Detroit’s The Shelter. Find more information here.

In another online upload, Veeze revealed post-tour plans. “Acting class after tour. and gotta learn a new language. Well, I wanna learn a new language. I may try to learn while on the road. But I’m supposed to teach myself how to make beats on the road,” penned Veeze.

Despite his recent run-in with the law, “I Remember Everything” singer Zach Bryan remains country music’s latest darling. To prove it, fans have continued to push his albums to the top of the charts. As his popularity has grown, so has the demand to see Bryan see him live in concert. On Monday, October 9, he revealed that he extended his The Quittin Time Tour in 2024.

The additional 19 dates are sandwiched in between his previously announced shows. Special guests for the shows include The Middle East, Mt. Joy, The War And Treaty, Sierra Ferrell, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Turnpike Troubadours, Sheryl Crow, Matt Maeson, and Levi Turner.

Bryan took to Instagram to share the discussion about expanding the already massive tour. “I do feel like the ticketing issues are insane. I am sorry, and in that, we added more shows to the tour to try and curve demand,” wrote Bryan.

He added, “I don’t want it to be lost on me or anyone how grateful and indebted I am to every single person who listened and listens. I am trying my best in this life. And also to make the shows as great as I can to the people I love most [of] y’all.”

On Saturday the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a devastating attack on Israel. Among the places hit included a music festival in the southern part of the nation. So far over a thousand in both nations are dead. Hamas has taken 150 hostage. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly declared war, vowing a swift and punishing reprisal. The strife has upended the world and rendered those reporting on it speechless. But Donald Trump had a predictably narcissistic response, as Jimmy Kimmel noted on his latest show.

Using his opening monologue to address the “nightmarish situation,” Kimmel also slammed the former president after he “immediately found a way to make it all about himself.” He referenced a post Trump made on Truth Social, in which he claimed the Israel attacks, like the war in Ukraine, “would never have happened if I were president.”

“That’s right,” Kimmel responded, “if he was president we’d all be blissfully downing jiggers of bleach. There’d be no war anywhere.”

Kimmel also noted that Trump subsequently posted a photo of him in his younger, leaner years playing tennis. He even gave the big guy a new name: “Subpoena Williams.”

Trump spent Saturday night, when the attacks began, at a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he demonstrated what Kimmel called the “deep well of insight he has into this ongoing conflict in the Middle East.” It showed him on autopilot, badly mispronouncing Hamas so that it sounded more like “hummus.”

Trump showed more enthusiasm in another segment from the rally, in which he again railed against Joe Biden’s beach pics, even brazenly claiming that he had a “much better body.”

“On the day one of our closest allies is hit by a devastating terrorist attack, Trump is on stage talking about how much better his body is than Joe Biden’s,” Kimmel told the crowd.

You can see Kimmel’s monologue in the tweet embedded above.

Through more than five innings on Monday evening, the Atlanta Braves were utterly lifeless. After losing Game 1 in shutout fashion, the game’s best offense was no-hit for nearly six innings by Philadelphia’s Zack Wheeler in Game 2, with the Phillies taking a 4-0 lead that seemed to be almost insurmountable. Then, the Braves began to chip away, first with a manufactured run with two outs in the sixth and then with a pair of two-run home runs from Travis d’Arnaud and Austin Riley to take their first lead of the series.

Erasing a four-run deficit would be cause for enough excitement in any playoff baseball game but, after Atlanta took the lead in the eighth, there were more fireworks to come. In fact, Phillies star Bryce Harper earned a walk to open the inning, prompting a pitching change and, after a harmless first out, Nick Castellanos smashed a baseball 392 feet to center field at Truist Park in Atlanta.

Fortunately for the Braves, 392 feet wasn’t enough to clear the fence, with center fielder Michael Harris II making a wonderful catch to begin a game-ending double play.

Not only did Harris save a likely game-tying run with the catch, but he quickly flung the ball back to the infield. While the initial execution was not perfect for Atlanta, third baseman Austin Riley stepped in, secured the ball, and delivered a strike to first base to double off Harper, who understandably strayed far from first base thinking he would score. In short, this play would have been wild under any circumstances, but for it to cap a playoff game in which the favored home team overcame a four-run deficit was the stuff of baseball madness.

The Braves and Phillies will reconvene on Wednesday, with the action moving to Philadelphia for Game 3 and Game 4. Overall, an argument could be make that Philadelphia did its job in stealing a split on the road, but Game 2’s finish will have everyone talking until Game 3 begins in nearly 48 hours.

The holidays are quickly approaching. But before everyone prepares to join their loved ones for some cozy quality time, you must make it through spooky season. To help music and film lovers get into the Halloween spirit, The Nightmare Before Christmas production will return to the Hollywood Bowl. Last year, Boygenius’ Phoebe Bridgers stepped into the beloved role of Sally during the London performances. Before that, Billie Eilish did the honors.

Halsey will flex their musical theatre muscles for this year’s concert starring Danny Elfman. The show will take place over the Halloween weekend (October 27 through 29.) However, Halsey will only appear on October 27 and 28. On the official ticketing page for the event, Fred Armisen, Ken Page, Riki Lindhome, and more will also star in the show.

According to Variety, the movie’s original voice actor, Catherine O’Hara, will step in on the closing night as both Sally and Shock. Lindhome will serve as Shock on the first two shows. Regarding the musicians providing the live instrumentation, John Mauceri will return as the conductor, and violist Sandy Cameron has also been confirmed.

The Nightmare Before Christmas In Concert will occur between October 27 and 29 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California. Find more information here.
