The New York Jets have tried something else in an attempt to save their disappointing season. After the team followed up firing head coach Robert Saleh with a loss on Monday Night Football to the Buffalo Bills to fall to 2-4 on the year, New York pulled off a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders to acquire standout wide receiver Davante Adams, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Adams is heading to New York in exchange for a third-round pick that could become a second-round selection — one of the rumors amid the trade drama involving Adams was that Las Vegas would not part with him for anything less than a second. The other big hang-up was, reportedly, that the Raiders did not want to be on the hook for too much of Adams’ salary, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Jets will assume the balance of what he’s owed.

Adams, the 31-year-old pass catcher who has earned three first-team All-Pro selections in his career, reportedly wanted a trade as it became obvious the Raiders are in the middle of a rebuilding year — the team is 2-4 and in last place in the AFC West. While the Jets have the same record, heading to New York will let Adams team up with Aaron Rodgers, with whom he was teammates in Green Bay. Currently, the Jets are in the middle of a three-game losing streak, and while the hope is that the 1-2 punch of Adams and Garrett Wilson will breathe some life into a disappointing offense, Rodgers in particular will have to raise his game, as he is 22nd in the league in QBR up to this point in the season.

50 Cent probably isn’t making new music anytime soon, but fans of his older material appear to be in for a treat next year, as 50 apparently has a Las Vegas residency on the way.

TMZ reports that per “Vegas sources familiar with the situation,” 50 has secured a deal to play six shows at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino’s PH Live venue, starting in December 2025 and including a New Year’s Eve celebration. For the residency (titled 50 Cent: In Da Club), the rapper will reportedly walk away with $15 million.

The show, 50’s first-ever Vegas residency, will apparently “be unlike anything he’s ever done before,” and TMZ adds, “We’re told fans can expect a fresh experience while still hearing all their favorite hits from Fifty, including classics ‘In Da Club,’ ‘Candy Shop,’ and ’21 Questions.’”

Meanwhile, 50 recently said about his hesitation to make new music, “A lot of the music, if you listen to the music that’s out right now, I have to tap into my stupid. I have to tap into the stupid side of me to write the right thing when it comes time to write the music. This is why I haven’t created as much content as I was creating in the past, and I started going toward the film production and development of these projects. Because I think I can impact things in a bigger way through that.”

On Evermore standout “‘Tis The Damn Season,” Taylor Swift wonders who’ll write books about her if she ever makes it. Well, it’s safe to say she’s made it, and now she’s getting her book. This morning, Swift announced that she’s releasing The Eras Tour Book, which commemorates the highest-grossing tour of all-time (and there’s still 18 shows to go).

“We’ll be kicking off the final leg of The Eras Tour this week, which is hard to comprehend. This tour has been the most wondrous experience and I knew I wanted to commemorate the memories we made together in a special way,” she wrote on social media. “Excited to announce that The Official Eras Tour Book, filled with my own personal reflections, never-before-seen behind the scenes photos, all the magical memories you guys brought every single night.”

The 256-page The Eras Tour Book will feature over 500 images, including unseen performance shots from every era and exclusive rehearsal photos. The book will be sold at Target beginning November 29 — a.k.a. Black Friday — and costs $39.99. You can find more information here.

The Eras Tour returns on Friday, October 18, in Miami, Florida, followed by dates in New Orleans, Indianapolis, Toronto, and Vancouver. The final show is on December 8.

This morning (October 15), Good Morning America teased an announcement from Taylor Swift that is “turning the page on a new era,” with a heavy emphasis on the word “page.” Then, another teaser indicated the news marked “a first for her career.” Included in that tease was a photo of Swift, holding what looked like some sort of The Eras Tour book in one hand and what appeared to be a The Tortured Poets Department release in the other.

Well, the announcement has officially arrived: Swift is releasing The Eras Tour Book, as well as new physical editions of The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.

Swift explained in a post shared on social media:

“We’ll be kicking off the final leg of The Eras Tour this week, which is hard to comprehend. This tour has been the most wondrous experience and I knew I wanted to commemorate the memories we made together in a special way. Well, two ways actually. Excited to announce that The Official Eras Tour Book, filled with my own personal reflections, never-before-seen behind the scenes photos, all the magical memories you guys brought every single night AND …. The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology on vinyl and CD will all be available for the first time ever only at @Target starting Nov 29th. International info coming soon!”

Good Morning America also notes the book has 256 pages, and that book, vinyl, and CD will be available only at Target starting on Black Friday, November 29.

Ever since Sabrina Carpenter launched her Short N’ Sweet Tour in September, there have been rumors that she’s wearing a wig on stage. Now, Carpenter has finally addressed the speculation, although her answer may not be satisfying to those yearning for the truth.

In a recent interview (seen here), Carpenter was asked about the rumors, and she jokingly responded, “Will not confirm nor deny. I don’t even know what a wig is, but I also don’t know what not a wig is.”

This follows Carpenter more subtly addressing the rumor earlier this month. As People notes, she reposted a funny video from Hacks star Megan Stalter, captioned, “Woman tells life partner about Sabrina Carpenter’s hair piece.” In the video, she says, “Babe, babe, I can’t tell if she’s wearing a hair piece. No, I can’t tell if it’s a wig or a hair piece. ‘Cause I thought, she’s so hot from the concerts she’s probably wearing a wig, but the bangs look so real so I was like maybe it’s just a hair piece.”

Carpenter was also in a joking mood after seeing Ariana Grande do an intentionally poorly sung parody of “Espresso” on Saturday Night Live this past weekend, commenting, “very nice and on pitch.”

Unfortunately due to the pressure to constantly produce record, hip-hop has lost a lot of its mysterious quality. However, “Chitty Bang” rapper Leikeli47 maintains enough for her peers. Between her signature bandana face covering to her sporadic drops, Leikeli47 gets a kick out of keeping fans on their toes.

Well, it has been two years since Leikeli47’s last studio, Shape Up, hit streaming platforms. So that means she has something in the tuck ready to go. Yesterday (October 14), Leikeli47 confirmed those suspensions by announcing her next project.

Over on her official Instagram page, Leikeli47 revealed her next body of work, Leikeli Ft. 47, is set to drop on Friday, October 25.

In a subsequent upload, Los Angeles fans have the chance to experience the forthcoming record in-person. An album listening event and live performance with Leikeli47 is scheduled to take place at Jumpman LA starting at 8 pm local time. Find more information here.

Based on the messaging of her album’s cover Leikeli47 is ready to step into the light. Supporters believe that means she could ditch the face coverings. During an interview with Vibe, Leikeli47 revealed why she chooses to protect her identity. “I feel like the Dark Knight, or one of those superheroes, or Superman,” she said. “The mask, it represents freedom. I’m free with it on.”

However, it could also confirm rumors that she’s departed from her label, RCA Records. Over on the company’s current artists’ directory, Leikeli47 no longer appears.

In 2021, Dr. Dre faced two devastating blows. Not only did the mogul suffered three strokes following a monstrous brain aneurysm, he also settled his tension-filled divorce from Nicole Young. Fast-forward to October 11, Dr. Dre is still legally dealing with the aftermath of his separation.

According to TMZ, Dr. Dre has been served with a temporary restraining order by his from marriage counselor. A judge has ordered the mogul to stay away from Dr. Charles Sophy following harassment claims.

In a connected legal matter, Dr. Sophy sued Dr. Dre for $10 million accusing him of “malicious campaign of harassment” that supposed lasted a year and a half. Dr. Sophy said after being hired for “joint psychotherapist-patient relationship” by the former couple Dr. Dre allegedly blamed Sophy for causing further friction among the family.

Now, Dr. Dre’s attorney attorney, Howard King, has issued a response to the outlet. “Mr. Sophy got some text messages in 2023 from an angry patient who had been mistreated,” he said. “Along with his entire family, by a self-proclaimed psychiatric expert. Nothing has changed since 2023 that would warrant this desperate filing and attempt for attention other than Mr. Young’s refusal to drop his confidential efforts to have Sophy’s license terminated by the Osteopathic Medical Board.”

A prior statement shared by Dr. Dre’s representative attempted to provide context to the conflict, saying: “In gross violation of all applicable standards of care, Dr. Sophy inserted himself into a contentious divorce while he simultaneously ‘treated’ not only Mr. and Mrs. Young, but their children. He was terminated when it was revealed that he was encouraging one of their children to take sides against Mr. Young, even encouraging his son to go to the press with false allegations in order to force a financial settlement that he recommended.”

However, Dr. Sophy has slammed the Medical Board investigation attempts in a separate lawsuit.

Aaron Rodgers may not be what he once was as a four-time NFL MVP, but despite his age and limited mobility post-Achilles injury, he still has one of the best arms in the NFL. When given time, he can absolutely send it, and over his career he has punished teams that give him time to chuck it downfield at the end of halves, completing three Hail Mary passes in his career entering Monday night against the Bills.

That total is now up to four successful Hail Mary throws, as the Bills opted to rush just two with eight seconds to play in the first half and the Jets with the ball near midfield, allowing Rodgers to load up and huck one to the end zone, where Allen Lazard hauled it in over a trio of Bills defenders to make it a 20-17 game at the half — the ball got ripped out after Lazard was already on the ground, making it a clean catch for a TD despite initially being called incomplete by the first official.

It’s an incredible play by Lazard, who uses his size to box out the Bills defensive backs to make the play, but it really is unbelievable how often Rodgers is able to pull this off. As Troy Aikman joked on the broadcast, it’s just throwing it up and hoping your guys can make a play, but Rodgers does have a knack for putting the right amount of air under the ball to make it a true jump ball and let his taller receivers out-leap smaller DBs. While this one wasn’t a game-winner, it did keep the Jets in the game after Josh Allen drove the Bills down to make it 20-10 with under 30 seconds to play in the quarter.

Pharrell Williams’ life story is officially on the big screen. The famed producer’s Lego style biopic, Piece By Piece, can be viewed at your nearest theater and to promote it Pharrell is opening up about some major moments in his career.

During an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Pharrell made a shocking confession about his optimistic hit, “Happy.” The track, which featured in Despicable Me 2 and its soundtrack served as positive reinforcement for listeners. But according to Pharrell writing the smash “broke him.”

“I had written 9 songs that were rejected,” he said. “It was only until you were out of ideas, and you asked yourself a rhetorical question, and you came back with a sarcastic answer, and that’s what ‘Happy’ was. How do you make a song about a person that’s so happy that nothing can bring them down? And I sarcastically answered it and put music to it, and that sarcasm became the song, and that broke me.”

However, Pharrell managed to find the silver lining, saying: “It’s so crazy for us to think like as individuals, everything comes from us. Your ideas, everything that you get, is coming from a library of existence. Nothing is new under the sun.”

In the past, Pharrell admitted that after a while he grew annoyed with the record just like the rest of us after it become unavoidable.
