At this point, Questlove has so many jobs, it’s not only hard to keep track of them all but one also wonders when exactly he has the time to do so many things without the assistance of a secret twin, a la The Prestige. He’s joked about it himself, but it’s getting out of hand; in addition to organizing the Grammys’ hip-hop tribute in 2023, organizing the annual Roots Picnic, directing the live-action Aristocats remake for Disney, and curating playlists for his celebrity friends, he’s a best-selling author. In that last capacity, he just announced the release date for his upcoming book, Hip-Hop Is History, a deep-dive follow-up to his fifth book, Music Is History.

Questlove announced Hip-Hop Is History last August, so that turnaround is pretty impressive. At the time, he said, “No one asked me to, but I’m carrying that burden. And for all those who are present and accounted for, there is something to celebrate with hip hop’s 50th.There may be a lot of water under that bridge. Our disdain for looking in the rearview mirror is entrenched in pain and trauma. But as a child of legacy and nostalgia culture, I want to be the GPS for people to celebrate that thing called hip-hop.”

Hip-Hop Is History is out on June 11 via Auwa Books, Questlove’s own imprint.

The full trailer for Fallout has arrived, and the overwhelming reaction on social media is abundantly clear: Bring on that sweet Walton Goggins action.

As The Ghoul, The Righteous Gemstones star is front and center in the latest trailer for Amazon‘s adaptation of the hit video game series. Not only does he kick off the proceedings with a Rod Serling-like introduction, but he steals every moment is on camera as the deformed gunslinger who fires quips as fast as he fires bullets.

The Ghoul also seems to know an awful lot about why the world is a post-apocalyptic hellscape, and he seems hell-bent on sending Ella Purnell’s curious Vault Dweller on a quest for revenge. And while all of that makes for a riveting trailer, Goggins’ mere presence was enough to sell folks on giving Fallout a whirl when it starts streaming next month.

You can see some of the reactions below:

Here’s the official synopsis:

Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them.

Fallout will drop all of its episodes April 11 on Amazon Prime Video.

On Wednesday, March 6, Billboard held its annual Billboard Women In Music event, which will stream in full on Thursday, March 7, beginning at 8 p.m. ET. But a video of Charli XCX’s performance is already making the rounds because Charli reportedly debuted an unreleased song dedicated to the late songwriter and producer Sophie, who died from an accidental fall in January 2021.

There are conflicting reports as to whether the song is called “So Do I” or “So I,” but the video finds Charli belting emotional, yearning lyrics like, “Wish I tried to pull you closer / You pushed me hard, made me focus” and “You’d say, ‘Come on, stay for dinner’ / I’d say, ‘No, I’m fine’ (Now, I really wish I stayed) / Always on my mind.”

Charli has frequently spoken publicly about her close friendship with Sophie, who co-produced Charli’s 2016 EP, Vroom Vroom. She penned an open letter in February 2021, noting, “It’s really hard for me to sum up the special connection I felt with such an amazing person who completely changed my life.” This February, Charli gave an interview to The Face and spoke about a song dedicated to Sophie on her newly announced album, Brat, which is presumably the one she sang at Billboard Women In Music.

“There was a lot of distance between us because I was in awe of her and wanted to impress her,” the UK pop star said. “She believed in me in ways that I didn’t believe [in] myself. But I felt like I would never be interesting enough to operate in her world outside of the studio, which was the safe space where we could connect and bond over music.”

Charli continued, “I didn’t feel like I was magical enough for this unbelievably magic person. And that makes me ashamed now I don’t have the opportunity to experience that anymore, because she’s gone. I feel ashamed for being a coward. It’s hard to write about. I’m sad for myself that I didn’t experience all this person had to offer.”

Charli was recognized with the Powerhouse award at the Billboard Women In Music 2024. Brat is due out sometime this summer, she confirmed before releasing the lead single, “Von Dutch,” last week.

Charli XCX is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

After months of anticipation, Dreamville Festival has announced its 2024 lineup. The festival, which will take place on Saturday, April 6, and Sunday, April 7, at Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh, North Carolina, will be headlined by SZA, Nicki Minaj, and Chris Brown, with performances from Amaarae, Domani, Jeezy, Jeremih, Key Glock, Lil Yachty, Monica, Muni Long, Rae Sremmurd, Rema, ScHoolboy Q, Sexyy Red (who has been appearing on a lot of unexpected festival lineups lately), Teezo Touchdown, and TiaCorine.

Naturally, J. Cole, Bas, Cozz, Earthgang, JID, Lute, and Omen are also billed. Curiously, Ari Lennox doesn’t appear on the flyer, which hopefully means she’s busy working on her follow-up to Age/Sex/Location.

According to the press release, two-day GA tickets are now on sale in limited quantities, with a portion of proceeds being donated to the festival’s official charity partners, the Dreamville Foundation and Dorothea Dix Park Conservancy. You can find more information at DreamvilleFest.com.

More than most comedians, Eric Andre isn’t afraid to push boundaries and really put himself out there. Remember his and Emily Ratajkowski classic naked photos? Well, speaking of nudity, Andre is back at it again, this time on stage with Madonna.

For those unaware, Madonna’s Celebration Tour concerts feature a “Vogue” portion of the show, during which Madonna and a celebrity guest “judge” an act performed by Madonna’s dancers. Well, Andre was the guest judge at Madonna’s Inglewood’s Kia Forum on March 4. At one point, Andre was getting playfully whipped by one of the dancers, so he went ahead, bent over, and pulled his pants down, exposing his bare butt to the however-many thousand people in attendance.

An Andre appearance on the Celebration Tour was to be expected: In January 2023, Madonna shared a promo video announcing the trek, and it featured a bunch of recognizable faces: Jack Black, Lil Wayne, Diplo, Judd Apatow, Amy Schumer, Bob The Drag Queen, Kate Berlant, Larry Owens, Meg Stalter, and of course, Andre. In the video, Andre dared Diplo to dip his balls in his margarita and drink it. Diplo, ever the team player, obliged.

Check out the Eric Andre butt clip (how’s that for a phrase?) above.

Whoopi Goldberg stunned The View co-hosts on Wednesday morning when she casually admitted that she’s done jail time. It all went down during the final Hot Topics segment where the panel bailed on the scheduled topic and decided to switch things up. The ladies selected a new topic from a bag that was dropped from the ceiling, and the seemingly mundane choice prompted a startling admission from Whoopi.

“Would you rather hike the Appalachian Trail by yourself, or spend six months in jail?” Goldberg read from the paper. “Well, I’ve done both.”

Her co-hosts couldn’t believe it and demanded details. Via The Wrap:

The moment stunned and delighted the other women, with host Alyssa Farah Griffin joking “of course you have!” Meanwhile, Joy Behar was deeply confused, asking for details.

“Doesn’t matter, does it?” Whoopi replied. But, she promised Behar “I’ll tell you about it” when she kept pushing for more.

However, when the show returned from commercial, Whoopi seemingly revealed that she was just joking and never did time. Or if she did, you’ll never find out why.

“I’m a humorist. So stop lookin’ it up!” Whoopi said. “You’ll be lookin’ ’til the cows come home.”

She then lamented that the panel didn’t stick to the original topic of a woman who was tired of having “vanilla sex” with her husband, so Whoopi offered a surprisingly raunchy suggestion. That’s usually Joy Behar‘s department.

“So my answer for this is that she should’ve just gotten herself something she could put a battery in, put some googly eyes on it, and talk to it and let it say whatever it needs to say,” Goldberg said as she once again had her co-hosts dying with laughter.

Camila Cabello made a recent appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she dished exactly how she feels about breakup sex and how she isn’t totally against it. Considering she had a rollercoaster relationship with Shawn Mendes, this also very well could have been the case.

“I feel like if you’re wanting to have breakup sex you’re probably gonna hit each other up next week,” Cabello said. “There’s still something there.”

“And like I said, I’m sorry, I’m a proponent,” she added. “I don’t believe in the forbidden fruit — if you want it, do it. Kinda like ‘date him until you hate him’ vibe. I don’t actually hate anybody but I’m saying do it until it’s out of your system.”

However, she also admits that there are downsides to continuing to hook up with someone you necessarily don’t like as a person. “I also think the hard part is that sometimes you do waste some time in that way,” Cabello shared. “You’re still entertaining something and maybe there could be somebody out there that’s better.”

During other points in the interview, she also revealed that she’s open in getting back together with exes in general and that even though her friends don’t always agree with her dating approaches, it’s what works for her at the end of the day.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have spent this year right at the top of the Western Conference, and after Wednesday night’s slate of games, the team holds a 43-19 record, good for first place in a tie with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Unfortunately for the Wolves, they may have to navigate at least some of the next 20 games without one of their best players.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Karl-Anthony Towns suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee, and it’s unclear when he’ll be able to return to action.

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN confirmed the news of Towns getting hurt, but made it sound like he may not need to miss too terribly much time.

Towns had already been ruled out for the Timberwolves’ game on Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers with left knee soreness. As for when he suffered the injury, that part is less clear — he was only on the floor for 21 minutes during the team’s last game, but 15 of those came in the second half.

After appearing in only 29 games due to injuries last year, Towns has been quite durable for the Timberwolves during the 2023-24 campaign, as he’s appeared in 60 of the team’s 62 games. He’s averaged 22.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, and three assists in 32.8 minutes a night en route to an All-Star berth.

Earlier this week, we learned about the drama in the Cyrus household. To recap: Noah Cyrus, the younger sibling of “Flowers” singer Miley Cyrus, dated actor Dominic Purcell before he married her mother, Tish. Very normal. “Noah and Dominic were seeing each other in a friends-with-benefits way, off and on. They stopped seeing each other and then Tish started something up,” a source told People. “Tish knew he had been seeing Noah.”

One person who didn’t know was Miley — or so it was originally reported. But now, US Weekly reports that Miley was “fully aware” and “absolutely knew” of her sister’s relationship with Purcell.

Contrary to recent reports, a second source tells Us that Noah “was not Dominic’s ex” when Tish began dating the Prison Break alum in 2022. “They were seeing each other when he started dating Tish,” the insider says. Despite knowing the truth, the first source claims that Miley “took her mom’s side” and did “everything in her power” to keep Noah from crashing Tish and Purcell’s August 2023 wedding.

“Miley believes [the family rift is] beyond repair at this time,” an insider said. “Miley’s devastated her family’s been torn apart.”

This story has more twists than an entire season of Prison Break, the show that made Purcell famous. Fewer confusing tattoos, too.

Did you see that viral Grimes tweet in which she completely roasted Elon Musk, the father of her children? Well, it’s fake.

As Gizmodo notes, yesterday (March 6), Musk wrote in a real, not fake tweet, “‘Super rich ex-wives who hate their former spouse’ should filed be listed among ‘Reasons that Western Civilization died.’” The publication notes Musk’s tweet was in response to an X (formerly Twitter) user criticizing MacKenzie Scott, ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, about the organizations she donates her money to.

After the Musk tweet, a screenshot of a supposed Grimes tweet started making the rounds online. In it, Grimes quote-tweets Musk’s post and adds, “Is the ex-wife destroying Western Civilization in the room with us right now?” Another fake screenshot has also circulated, this time with an added community note that reads, “While she did bear multiple of Elon’s children, Grimes was never technically married to Elon. Elon’s only real ex-wife is merely kinda rich.”

Gizmodo notes they found the X account that was the origin of the initial fake screenshot, and confirmed with them that they were indeed responsible for it, and that the Grimes tweet is therefore not real.

Meanwhile, Grimes recently shared some thoughts on criticism of her and Musk’s son’s name, X AE A-XII. As part of a larger conversation, one X user wrote, “That’s funny coming from you Claire did you name your kid something that humans can’t even pronounce? How’s that gonna go down for him when he’s in school? Why did you feel like you need to make a comment on this? Bored?” Grimes replied, “This is the most bizarre criticism. He loves his name and mostly ppl think it’s cool. X men etc. x is popular at school lol. Also, I don’t wanna say his friends names cuz they’re civilians but most millenials named their kids weird names – not just me.”
