Last night (August 29), Travis Scott joined Drake to perform together at his It’s All A Blur Tour stop in Vancouver. The two rappers also treated the crowd to some very special performances.

Scott first walked out on the stage to “Hyaena,” the opening track of his new album, Utopia.

Drake and Scott then held the live debut performance of “Meltdown,” their collaboration from the same record.

Throughout Scott’s appearance, they also did one of his biggest hits with “Sicko Mode.” Drake did “P*ssy & Millions” from his joint album, Her Loss, with 21 Savage.

Finally, Scott performed other Utopia tracks like “I Know,” “Fe!n,” and an older 2016 track “Goosebumps” that originally featured Kendrick Lamar.

It has been rumored that Scott will continue to replace 21 Savage during the Canadian leg of the It’s All A Blur Tour, after one of the shows was pushed back until tonight. And his appearance last night seemed to confirm it, but only tonight’s show will tell. Either way, fans will get to see Scott perform on his own soon, as the rapper recently announced Utopia — The Circus Maximus Tour. A complete list of dates can be found here.

Check out some clips of Drake and Scott performing the songs together above.

In Coi Leray’s high-concept video for “Isabel Marant,” the unapologetic rapper is stripped down and dipped in glitter as she performs her new single. Name-checking a plethora of designer brands, Coi debuts an eye-popping new hairstyle and twerks atop a platform held aloft by a thrashing mosh pit. As Coi flexes her drip both in the lyrics and in her video looks, it’s pretty clear she remains unbothered by critics of her first-week sales and her musical stylings.

That Coi is just under three months removed from the release of her self-titled second studio album and is already pushing forward with new music is a testament to her work ethic — the very thing that got her to this place in her career so far. While she hasn’t impressed many critics, her music certainly resonates with fans, since her streaming numbers keep going up and her list of hits, which now includes Coi standouts like “Players,” “Bops,” “My Body,” and “Get Loud.”

While there’s no word as yet where “Isabel Marant” will ultimately end up, it doesn’t look like Coi is showing any signs of slowing down, let alone stopping. Terrible news for her haters.

Across eight Harry Potter movies, Bonnie Wright, who played Ron’s sister and Harry’s epilogue wife Ginny Weasley, has approximately 30 minutes of screen time. Ginny is a more promiment character in the books, and the actress can’t help but feel disappointed about her limited amount of time in the films.

“I definitely feel there was anxiety towards performing and doing the best thing as my character built, for instance,” Wright said on the Inside of You podcast, according to Variety. “Like, ‘Oh gosh, will I do justice to this character that people love?’ So that was always hard to do, especially when, inevitably, a lot of the scenes of every character were chopped down from the book to the film. So you didn’t really have as much to show in the film.”

Wright called it “a little disappointing because there were parts of the character that just didn’t get to come through because there weren’t the scenes to do that. That made me feel a bit anxious or just frustrated, I guess.” She never approached the writers or producers about Ginny’s relative lack of presence because “there were a million executives going through them all. I think what I maybe took, which I don’t take so much to heart now, is I kind of felt that maybe my anxiety was about, ‘Oh, I’m going to be seen as badly portraying this character,’ rather than later realizing that I wasn’t really given the opportunity to do that. So it wasn’t really my fault, exactly.”

If it’s any consolation, Ginny had three times as much screen time as Dobby. This is probably not helpful.

Jack Harlow‘s rise to fame may have seemed quick, but he had been putting in the work independently for years. Before putting out his albums That’s What They All Say and Come Home, The Kids Miss You, Harlow had put out several mixtapes and EPs years before. But the past two years have seen Harlow become a bona fide superstar with crossover hits like Lil Nas X’s “Industry Baby,” on which he delivers a guest verse, as well as hits of his own, like “First Class.” On his third album, Jackman, Harlow makes a return to his minimalistic rap roots, notably on a standout track, “Denver.”

Today (August 30), Harlow has shared the video for “Denver,” which, as its title suggests, sees him at various spots throughout Denver.

We catch Harlow alone in a hotel room, as he ponders his life and newfound pop star status. Harlow also visits a strip club, where he looks gloomy as the only person in the audience. He later drives through the mountain ranges, stops at a Good Times Burger for some iconic sliders, and hikes to the top of the mountain, in the midst of a Colorado sunrise.

You can see the video for “Denver” above.

Jack Harlow is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Would the Fast and Furious franchise even exist if Dominic Toretto had a widow’s peak? That’s the existential dilemma Vin Diesel fans are currently facing after old pictures surfaced showing the action hero sans his signature bald head.

Diesel’s name is now synonymous with the high-octane blockbuster series that’s earned billions and spawned entire universes on-screen, but before he was boosting cars and slathering his naked noggin in baby oil, he dipped his toe in more dramatic fare. One such film, the crime biopic Find Me Guilty, shows such a different side to the macho Mr. Clean that it’s stopped the internet in its tracks. Stills from the movie — which sees Diesel playing a low-level gangster defending himself in court — have gone viral thanks to the actor’s noticeable makeover, i.e. the miraculous appearance of the actor’s hairline.

This isn’t the first time Diesel’s sported a bit of fuzz on top. He donned a beard and some lusciously long locks in 2015’s The Last Witch Hunter but somehow, this more realistic imagining of what the actor might look like with some spiked tips has thrown the Fast and Furious fandom into complete chaos.

And sure, the hair is off-putting, but let’s not forget the most shocking developments in this case:

Florence Pugh was wearing pink before it was cool. But all anyone can remember about the gown the Midsommar star wore to the Valentino couture show in Rome last summer is that you could see her breasts through it. In response to the criticism she faced from “vulgar” trolls, she wrote on Instagram, “What’s been interesting to watch and witness is just how easy it is for men to totally destroy a woman’s body, publicly, proudly, for everyone to see. You even do it with your job titles and work emails in your bio…?”

Pugh further discussed the nipple fiasco in a recent interview for Elle with actress Jodie Turner-Smith.

“I speak the way I do about my body because I’m not trying to hide the cellulite on my thigh or the squidge in between my arm and my boob: I would much rather lay it all out,” she said. “I think the scariest thing for me are the instances where people have been upset that I’ve shown ‘too much’ of myself. When everything went down with the Valentino pink dress a year ago, my nipples were on display through a piece of fabric, and it wound people up.”

Pugh believes it’s “the freedom that people are scared of; the fact I’m comfortable and happy. Keeping women down by commenting on their bodies has worked for a very long time. I think we’re in this swing now where lots of people are saying, ‘I don’t give a shit.’ Unfortunately, we’ve become so terrified of the human body that we can’t even look at my two little cute nipples behind fabric in a way that isn’t sexual. We need to keep reminding everybody that there is more than one reason for women’s bodies [to exist].”

Anthony Edwards and USA Basketball are on their way to the second round of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup. The team wrapped up a perfect first round slate on Wednesday morning, meaning they’ll progress to play two more games before a potentiel berth in the quarterfinals of the tournament.

The U.S. will play Montenegro and Lithuania in their next two games, and while both could give the Americans trouble due to the NBA players that start at center, Edwards is not particularly concerned. While speaking to the media, Edwards made extremely clear that he doesn’t think Team USA will get tripped up in its next few games.

Per The Athletic:

“I think we’re gonna win,” Edwards said after one of the better player performances at a FIBA World Cup podium in recent memory.

“We’re unbeaten also,” he said because the questioner pointed out that Lithuania did not lose in pool play, either. “So yeah, I think we got a great chance to win. We’ve got a great coaching staff, we’ve got great players. Our confidence is at an all-time high. We’re not really worried about those guys.”

It probably should not come as a surprise that the perpetually confident Edwards would answer like this, but it does help that his performance against Jordan was his best in group play. Edwards went for 22 points with eight rebounds and four assists as the United States picked up a 110-62 victory.

Beyoncé is bringing her Renaissance Tour to Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium — and with it, a crowd that will be looking for ways to get home after. For those who are planning on taking a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft once the concert ends, they might be wondering where on the stadium grounds it will be. Thankfully, we have you covered.

Here’s what to know: For getting dropped off, fans will arrive on the northbound curb of Kareem Court — according to SoFi’s website. Then, post-show pickup will happen on Kareem Court and Manchester Boulevard. They also have a helpful map for fans available here.

Fans that are coming out of town and flying into LAX also have the possibility to reserve an Uber that will take them directly to SoFi Stadium. According to Uber’s website, the ride is about twenty minutes for $33 approximately. Find more information on this here.

Beyoncé will be playing for three nights at SoFi, including September 1, 2, and on her birthday, September 4. In honor of Virgo season, the star recently requested that attendees wear silver to imitate a disco ball to all of her concerts through September 22. The remaining tickets and list of more tour dates can be found here.

Beyonce’s Renaissance Tour finally arrived in Los Angeles this week, taking over Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium for three days of chrome-clad cavorting with the singer as the tour nears its end. If you were among those fortunate enough to grab a ticket, congratulations! But if you’ve never been to SoFi — not a big Rams fan, we get it — you might be having some anxiety figuring out where to park, which can be an ordeal at just about any venue, but especially one where over 70,000 fans might show up.

Fortunately, there are a few options to help you out so you can worry less about missing Ms. Knowles-Carter’s grand stage entrance. While SoFi’s own page offers plenty of information, there are a few other options available. If you’ve got the cash on hand, ParkWhiz can help you book a spot, as can ticket resale sites like StubHub and Vivid Seats.

Meanwhile, Inglewood itself offers its own Park & Go service which should save you some money, as the remote lots cost $38.25 each and the shuttle is $8.70 per person for a round trip. The Kia Forum, which is conveniently (or inconveniently, if you live in Inglewood or need to drive through on a double-event day) located near SoFi, also has parking for the shows, although you’ll end up doing some walking — wear comfy shoes.

Beyond that, LA Metro is a decent way to get around (from personal experience), with a regular ride only costing $1.75 and recently introduced fare capping allowing you to ride for free after three rides when you pay with a TAP Card. And, of course, there’s always Lyft and Uber, but remember that traffic is going to be hectic and fares will probably see enormous surge pricing increases (plus, there’s the whole “not a lot of drivers actually want to pickup/dropoff in Inglewood due to the insane traffic” thing). Good luck and enjoy the show!

Rudy Giuliani is having one heck of a time in Georgia. On top of being indicted for allegedly attempting to interfere with the 2020 election results at the behest of Donald Trump, Giuliani just lost a defamation lawsuit filed by two Georgia election workers.

In a scathing ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell, Giuliani was found legally liable for defaming Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss by spending weeks falsely accusing the two women of manipulating ballots. By putting them at the center of Trump’s election conspiracy theories, Freeman and Moss endured levels of harassment that could result in criminal charges stemming from the Fulton County indictment.

Giuliani was slammed by the judge for “flagrantly” violating her orders to provide discovery materials, resulting in a default judgment against the disgraced attorney. A trial will take place, but solely to determine how much a jury should award in damages plus nearly $90,000 in legal fees, which Giuliani has been ordered to reimburse.

Via Politico:

Howell, an appointee of President Barack Obama, said in her ruling Wednesday that she considered it possible that Giuliani concluded that dodging his obligations related to the election workers’ lawsuit make sense strategically to avoid giving fodder to prosecutors or lawyers pursuing other cases.

“Perhaps, he has made the calculation that his overall litigation risks are minimized by not complying with his discovery obligations in this case,” Howell wrote. “Whatever the reason, obligations are case specific and withholding required discovery in this case has consequences.”

Howell also ordered Giuliani to produce documents about his “net worth” by September 20. The judge accused Giuliani of dragging his feet on providing an accurate picture of his true financial state, which might not be as dire as Giuliani has been claiming.
