At last count, vasectomy candidate Nick Cannon has welcomed 12 children into this world. And he wishes he had another one, too. Silly Nick Cannon.

By all accounts, all parties remain largely pleased by whatever arrangements have been made in this situation. Cannon, however, admitted that he screwed up this year for Mother’s Day. This was bound to happen eventually, right? It’s like he’s Santa Claus during this holiday or something.

As pointed out by The Daily Beast, Cannon took to his podcast, The Daily Cannon, and revealed how he had screwed up by “doing handwritten messages from the heart,” but he sent them to the wrong women. And “one baby mama [read] the card about how I feel about the other baby mama,” which sounds so cringeworthy.

Cannon appeared to then resolve to go generic from here on out. We’ll see how that goes next year. He may have two more kids by then, you never know. Yet he sees the humor in the situation and even posted a reel to Instagram, so we can all be happy that we don’t have twelve kids, too. “I tried my BEST but #MothersDay didn’t go as planned this year!” he wrote. No kidding.

Miley Cyrus has her sights on the next single from her recent album, Endless Summer Vacation, as she dropped the new music video for “Jaded.”

An early teaser found the pop star lying topless on her bed, which opens the music video. It also is interspersed with shots of Cyrus in a gold swimsuit and outdoor scenery, keeping with the chill-but-emotional anthem.

“I know it was wrong, but never said I was sorry / Now I’ve had time to think it over / We’re much older and the bone’s too big to bury,” Cyrus sings in the song. “And it’s a f*ckin’ shame that it ended like that / You broke your own arm, but you’d never say that / We went to Hell, but we never came back.”

Considering it serves as her reflection on a past failed relationship, presumably about Liam Hemsworth, the lyrics convey all the messy and emotional thoughts that come with it.

Cyrus’ lead single from the album, “Flowers,” was her post-breakup take on being a self-reliant woman who is now completely free to do what she wants. This also paid off immensely, as it became her biggest hit on the Billboard charts. Here’s hoping “Jaded” can see a similar fate.

It looks like Cardi B’s Twitter fingers might have gotten her in a little trouble with the platform’s admins, so she’s going to the owner himself for help. It all started when Janelle Monáe dropped her refreshingly racy video for “Lipstick Lover,” prompting a 24-hour thirst-fest on Twitter. Cardi joined in with an NSFW post of her own, which included a photo of a woman sucking another woman’s breast. However, Cardi now believes that her explicit post got her account “shadowbanned” and is even ready to suck up to the app’s owner and former CEO.

“I’m shadowbanned cause I posted a picture of somebody getting their tittie sucked,” she wrote. “@elonmusk please unshadowban me. I won’t do it again.”

Of course, her request might be a little too late; Elon reportedly stepped down from Twitter, installing a new CEO — who is, unfortunately, not Dionne Warwick — and is said to be focusing on “product design & new technology.” What “product design” has to do with spreading antisemitic memes remains to be seen. Maybe it’s part of that “free speech” he keeps railing about (to recap: titty tweets=not okay; virulent Nazi symbolism=okay).

For what it’s worth, though, it does appear that Cardi is any kind of banned. Her last tweet, a video of the huge bunch of roses Offset got her for Mother’s Day, has nearly 2 million impressions since yesterday, which means her tweets probably aren’t being secretly suppressed by the algorithm. More likely, she’s been in what’s colloquially known as “Twitter Jail,” when the app won’t let you post for a while because you violated terms of service somehow. It’s less public than an official suspension, and usually, it only lasts about a day. Cardi’s latest tweet kind of proves that she’s off timeout, and we’re sure she’ll be posting something controversial again in no time.

The Russo brothers have reunited with one of their superheroes for another high-stakes tale of good vs evil, only this one uses a lot more guns than Thor normally does. Extraction 2 brings back Chris Hemsworth as black ops mercenary Tyler Rake after he narrowly survived the events of the first movie. You can’t keep a man like Hemsworth down, though, and Rake is already on his next mission to help protect a young family.

As the official logline states, “Back from the brink of death, highly skilled commando Tyler Rake takes on another dangerous mission: saving the imprisoned family of a ruthless gangster.” The cast also includes Golshifteh Farahani, Tornike Gogrichiani, Adam Bessa, Daniel Bernhardt, Tinatin Dalakishvili, and Olga Kurylenko.

This trailer has everything you could ever want from an action movie, conveniently packaged into 2 minutes and thirty seconds of thrills and Hemsworth’s impressive jawline. There’s a carefully timed elevator grenade, a fight on a treadmill, and even Rake punching the enemy while his hands are engulfed in flames. It’s just another day for Hemsworth, though, who has been consistently getting jacked for the last decade or so. This man knows how to throw a punch no matter what the laws of physics are.

Extraction 2 hits Netflix on June 16th. Check out the trailer above.

In early March, LeBron James was watching NBA games on a Lakers off night and came to the realization that his son, Bronny, was already better as a high school senior than some guys in the league.

James tweeted as much, sparking plenty of chatter with many of us just chalking it up to James being maybe a bit overenthusiastic as a proud father. While some in the league were probably not thrilled that James would say that, there are at least a couple stars who get LeBron’s point. On this week’s episode of Paul George’s “Podcast P”, DeMar DeRozan was the guest and was asked about James’ tweet, and somewhat surprisingly agreed with James, saying there’s “a lot of sorry motherf*ckers in our league.”

DeRozan goes on to explain that he thinks there’s an issue with how some young players enter the league not wanting to put in the work and expect to get playing time just for existing. George then chimes in that of the 450 players in the NBA, there’s a good 75-100 that “stink” but are “good dudes.”

I would really enjoy a follow-up pod where DeRozan and George tier out all 450 players in the league so we can find out exactly who belongs in the “stinks” tier, but for now we’ll just have to do our best to figure out on our own who falls into that category.

Travis Scott fans are in luck. The rapper’s fourth studio album Utopia is ready to be released, or so Scott says. In February, in a clip posted to social media, the producer told fans that although he couldn’t wait for the project to be released. However, he wouldn’t drop it until a few artists signed to his Cactus Jack label, including Don Toliver, were taken care of first.

Staying true to his promise, Travis Scott is preparing to share the project with the world. During his scheduled appearance at the Houston Astros’ Minute Maid Park, he allowed the players to be the first to preview it before its public release.

When asked how he felt to be onsite in his hometown with new music on the horizon, Scott told Mark Berman, Fox 26’s sports director, “Man, you know, fresh from Utopia. Nah, mean? Live from the Utopia. It’s on the way now, Mark.”

Continuing, “I had to come down and play Utopia for the boys in the locker room. I had to get them right for the game. Finished and mastered, Mark. You know how we do, Mark. from the clubhouse to the stu.”

Travis Scott has shared no further information about the project. Instead, telling fans to keep a lookout for what’s to come.

The first major domino in the aftermath of the Philadelphia 76ers‘ loss to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semifinals has fallen. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Sixers have made the decision to part ways with head coach Doc Rivers, marking the end of a three year stint in the City of Brotherly Love.

Wojnarowski laid out the list of potential replacements for Rivers, which includes a number of other big name head coaches who were fired this offseason.

Rivers took over the Sixers after spending seven years with the Los Angeles Clippers. While the team experienced plenty of regular season success, as evidenced by their 154-82 record with him at the helm, Philadelphia was unable to get past the conference semis, which has been a long-standing issue for the franchise. This year, the Sixers found themselves in a golden position to break that streak, as they were up, 3-2, on the Celtics with Game 6 taking place in Philly.

But a late meltdown in that game beget a disaster in Game 7 in which the team was run off the court in Boston. After the game, Rivers was asked about his future, expressing that while he expected to be back in 2023-24, he understood the gravity of the situation.

“Yeah, I think I got two years left,” Rivers said. “No one’s safe in our business, and I get that.”

British rapper Slowthai, who has been charged with rape, appeared in court earlier today via video link to answer the charges, according to The Guardian. Slowthai, whose real name is Tyron Frampton, confirmed his name, date of birth, and address in Northampton, while the prosecution lawyer told Oxfordshire magistrates that the charge — stemming from a September 2021 incident in Oxford — was an “indictable-only” offense, recommending the case be heard at crown court.

Few details were given about the alleged incident other than to report that the 28-year-old rapper is accused of oral and vaginal penetration of a woman without consent. Slowthai was bailed out and will appear in court next month.

The rapper is no stranger to controversy. In February 2020, he apologized for some unruly behavior at the NME Awards, where he grabbed the host on stage and started a fight in the audience before being removed by security. Last summer, he apologized again, this time for wearing a shirt bearing what appeared to be a swastika onstage at Montreal’s Osheaga Festival — although the shirt had an overall anti-fascist message, putting the word “Destroy” over the offensive symbol.

Still, this is the most serious offense he’s been charged with since he first burst onto the scene in 2015.

During her first stint as a Cannes juror, Brie Larson had to field a question about Johnny Depp, and she was not a fan of being singled out to discuss the alleged spousal abuser.

In a controversial move for the event, Depp’s newest film Jeanne du Barry will open the festival. However, the historical drama will not play in competition, which means Larson has no obligation to weigh in on the film. Unfortunately, that didn’t stop a reporter from singling out the Captain Marvel actress and pressing for her a comment on the presence of Depp’s film. Larson did not enjoy being put on the spot.

Via Variety:

“You’re asking me that?” she responded during a jury press conference on Tuesday. “I’m sorry, I don’t understand the correlation or why me specifically.”

When pressed, she added, “You’ll see, I guess, if I will see it. And I don’t know how I’ll feel about it if I do.”

Of course, it’s not hard to figure out why the Depp question was aimed at Larson. She’s been a vocal proponent of the #MeToo movement and famously refused to clap at the 2017 when presenting Casey Affleck with the Best Actor award for Manchester By The Sea. Affleck had been sued by two separate women over allegations of sexual harassment on the set of I’m Still Here. The matter was settled out of court.

That said, the obligation of responding to Depp’s presence at Cannes shouldn’t rest with Larson, but with the organizers who have already defended opening the film.

“I don’t know about the image of Johnny Depp in the U.S.,” Cannes chief Thierry Fremaux said earlier this week. “To tell you the truth, in my life, I only have one rule: it’s the freedom of thinking, and the freedom of speech and act within a legal framework.”

Pop music can do more than just make people dance: it can also offer emotions and connect audiences. At times, this intro does get a little difficult always having something new to say. However, there seemed to be a clear theme that ran through a few of the songs this week: Family.

Whether it’s something written by your blood relatives, friends that feel just like it, for a certain franchise with that exact catchphrase, or a song about the next generation, the tracks seemed perfectly timed to one another.

Jonas Brothers — “Little Bird”

The Jonas Brothers returned with their new album, The Album. (Yes, that is the name of it.) After a few early singles like “Wings” and “Waffle House,” the record’s tone shifts from positive pop jams to something acoustic and heartfelt on “Little Bird,” dedicated to watching their kids grow up.

Shakira — “Acróstico”

Just in time for Mother’s Day and keeping with the theme, Shakira’s “Acróstico” is a gentle piano track filled with lovely lyrics, which has been rumored to be about her children. Fans had discovered that the first lyric letters spelled her kids’ names.

BTS — “The Planet”

BTS might be on hiatus as a band, while the members are starting their mandatory military service. However, that hasn’t stopped them from still having some fun surprises in store. Their new song, “The Planet,” appears as the theme song for the South Korean animated series, Bastions. It also keeps with the encouraging superhero themes of the show, which is about trying to stop a villain from continuing to destroy the environment.

Janelle Monáe — “Lipstick Lover”

Janelle Monáe has made lots of headlines this week with the release of “Lipstick Lover,” from her newly-announced next album, The Age Of Pleasure. Considering the video is age-restricted on YouTube, the rest can be left to the imagination of those reading.

aespa — “Spicy”

aespa’s “Spicy” is featured on their recent mini album, MY WOLRD, and shows off the group’s fiery side. “Tell me what you see, when you look at me / ‘Cause I am a ten out of ten, honestly / A different energy, this move, overpowering groove / But you keep wasting your time, dude,” they sing together in the second verse, according to Genius’ English translation.

Twice — “Hare Hare”

“Give it up, dancing through the night,” the Twice girls sing on their latest, “Hare Hare.” It is fully intended to get listeners up and onto the dancefloor and does exactly that. From the time the intro starts, the bubblegum pop instrumental propels the breezy song.

Dolly Parton — “World On Fire”

Dolly Parton is prepared to set the “World On Fire,” as she shared the first single from her electric next album, Rockstar. It finds Parton shifting her country roots for something heavier to honor her induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame last year.

Charlotte Cardin — “Looping”

Charlotte Cardin’s “Looping” takes on a few different interpretations, with the primary one centering around emotional lyricism when it comes to repetitive thoughts. It also samples Barbra Streisand’s “The Way We Were.”

J Balvin — “Toretto”

For those who probably couldn’t already tell from the title, J Balvin’s “Toretto” appears on the soundtrack for the upcoming Fast X movie — as Vin Diesel plays the main character of Dom Toretto. The high-speed song feels fitting for the franchise and the Colombian performer’s summer tour in Europe.

Hailey Knox — “Charismatic”

By the time the beat dropped on Hailey Knox’s “Charismatic,” it will have you hooked. Radiating both chill and self-proclaimed “bad b*tch” vibes, every part of this one seems to work perfectly — from the production to her vocals.
