Robbie Anderson has not had a fun season so far in Carolina, as the receiver has not been pleased with his usage so far with the Panthers as they’ve stumbled to a 1-5 start and fired head coach Matt Rhule last week.

While they’ve been asking for a lot in return for stars like Christian McCaffrey, Anderson has been much more available on the trade market and he became even more available on Sunday when he got in a few arguments with the coaching staff on the sideline, spent much of the next series standing on the opposite end of the sideline from the offense, and then ultimately got kicked off the sideline and sent to the locker room by interim head coach Steve Wilks.

It was not a great moment for Anderson and the Panthers in another rather dismal loss to the Rams, and the question exiting Sunday wasn’t if Anderson would be traded but to what team. We got that answer quickly, as word broke on Monday afternoon that Anderson was headed to another underachieving team in Arizona, where they’ll hope he can help Kyler Murray get something going offensively.

Anderson, for his part, seems pleased with the move.

The Cardinals are coming off of a dreadful loss of their own, scoring just nine points against Seattle, and in that loss their top receiver Hollywood Brown suffered a foot injury. Anderson provides some immediate depth and, they hope, can step in and just give them another weapon for Murray as the Cardinals are desperate to turn things around after a 2-4 start that has them at the bottom of the NFC West, with every other team in the division at 3-3.

One would expect this to be a deal that sees little going back to the Panthers, but they found someone to take on Anderson’s remaining base salary which is an improvement for them over releasing him outright.

UPDATE: The Panthers will get a future 6th and 7th round pick for Anderson.

This past Friday (October 14), Lil Baby released plenty of new music with his album It’s Only Me and a surprise collaboration with Ñengo Flow. However, a few hours later, the Puerto Rican rapper’s “Caciques” featuring Lil Baby was pulled from streaming.

It’s Only Me marked Lil Baby’s first solo studio album since 2020’s My Turn. Outside of the LP, he featured on Ñengo Flow’s new single “Caciques” that was also released Friday. A few lucky fans were able to listen to the collaboration before it pulled from streaming services the following morning. A teaser of the unreleased music video showed Lil Baby and Ñengo Flow sitting on top of a SWAT team truck.

The reason for the Ñengo Flow’s song getting pulled perhaps has do with it getting released the same day as Lil Baby’s album. Perhaps Lil Baby wouldn’t have had the time to properly promote the collaboration as he tries to claim another No. 1 LP on Billboard. A press release that was issued shortly after said the song was pulled due to “internal issues.”

“We hope we can count on you on the re-release of this song,” read the statement. “There’s no doubt that when we have this great release ready, you will be the first to know the release date.”

Ñengo Flow is an icon in the reggaeton scene. In his decade-plus career, he has collaborated with Bad Bunny, Anuel AA, Myke Towers, and most recently Tokischa. “Caciques” will mark Lil Baby’s first major collaboration with a Latin artist when its released. In 2017, Lil Baby featured on DJ Khaled’s 2017 track “You Stay” with Meek Mill, Jeremih, and J Balvin.

Despite Nicki Minaj once again causing a stir via her social media after her single, “Super Freaky Girl,” was moved to the pop categories for a potential Grammy nomination, the Queens rapper still has several singles that are still eligible for the rap nomination.

Variety reports that “Do We Have a Problem?” as well as her features on “Blick Blick” with Coi Leray and “Love In The Way,” are still in contention for the rap categories.

Last week, Minaj took to Twitter to respond to the Recording Academy’s decision to move “Super Freaky Girl” to the pop category, demanding that the Recording Academy do the same with Latto’s hit, “Big Energy.” Minaj even referred to Latto as a “Karen” during the heated exchange.

“This Karen has probably mentioned my name in over 100 interviews,” Minaj Tweeted. “Says she waited in line for [Nicki Minaj’s debut album] Pink Friday w|her Barbie chain on, bangs, pink hair…but today, scratch off decides to be silent; rather than speak up for the black woman she called her biggest inspiration.”

The post then sparked a response from Latto, leading to back and forth via Twitter, where the “It’s Giving” rapper alleged that their beef runs deeper than the Grammy nominations.

“1st of all I texted u cause I didn’t wanna do the internet sht w sum1 I looked up to,” Latto said. “Just like the 1st time, I DMed u asking about ur ongoing subtweets. I wanted to speak up cuz like I said I do agree but the way u going about it seems malicious esp. after how we left off.”

TNT’s Inside the NBA crew is going to be staying together for a good while longer.

While Charles Barkley has long said he’d like to retire at 60 years old, the 59-year-old certainly doesn’t seem to be headed towards retirement just yet, particularly after a dalliance with LIV Golf earlier this year. On Monday, word broke from Andrew Marchand that Barkley would indeed be signing a longterm extension with Warner Media that will keep him there for 10 more years and close to $200 million — provided they retain their NBA rights, which it certainly seems they would if they’re making this kind of commitment.

Barkley currently has three years left on a contract that pays him $10 million per season. His current contract coincides with TNT’s agreement with the NBA deal expiring after the 2024-25 season. If Turner were not to keep the NBA, Barkley could potentially own rights to go work for another network or a digital platform, if Amazon or Apple or others are involved.

The exact amount Barkley will make is not yet known if he fulfills the entire contract, but it will be well in excess of $100 million and could approach $200 million. Barkley could decide to retire from TV before the deal ends.

Marchand also notes that Shaq recently inked a longterm deal and Warner Media has also re-signed Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith, ensuring the Inside crew will be together as long as they want to be, which is great news for fans of the show. Barkley, in particular, felt like the piece most likely to leave, but TNT recognizes his importance to their popularity and went ahead and locked him up for more money and more years, making it much harder for him to walk away from it all.

Warner Media made the news official — although without the details of the exact years and money — shortly after, noting all four members of the desk had reached new long-term extensions, and released statements from all four.

“We’re all a big family. Ernie, Kenny and Shaquille are brothers to me, and I wouldn’t still be here if it wasn’t for them and all the amazing people who work on our show,” said Barkley. “I’m not gonna lie, though, this is a life-altering deal…and I’m blessed to be able to do live television for a living.”

“I always say there are ‘Got to, jobs’ and Get to, jobs,’ and the four of us clearly have ‘Get to, jobs’,” said Johnson. “It’s been a journey of a lifetime to work on this show, with Charles, Kenny and Shaquille at the desk and alongside such an amazingly talented crew behind the scenes. I’m very blessed.”

“You may have heard, I’ve been on a championship team in my day, but there’s nothing quite like this one,” said Smith. “I’ve always wanted to continue doing the show as long as we’re having fun — and we’re still having a LOT of it. I’m excited for the season and many more to come.”

“I’m happy for ‘The Godfather’ and Kenneth… is there someone else I’m forgetting?” O’Neal said. “I’m kidding…love you, Charles. As long as I say, “Are you not entertained?” and the answer is ‘Yes,’ then we’re going to keep this thing going.”

Martha Stewart was unfamiliar with the term “thirst trap,” until she took one of her own.

In June 2020, the Martha and Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party co-host took a selfie of herself coming out of a pool, which is the only good thing that happened in June 2020. Stewart told ET that she took the photo because she “thought I looked great coming out of the pool. My camera came on backwards, selfie mode, and I looked so nice. The sun was on my face. I thought, ‘Oh, that looks pretty,’ so I took the picture. It looked good.”

The pool selfie now has a companion piece in the topless apron video.

In an effective marketing campaign for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Stewart wears an apron — and nothing else — in a video she posted to her Instagram. “Just look at this, a thing of natural beauty,” the 81-year-old says with a sultry voice in the ad. “No, no, no, not me, my Green Mountain Coffee Roasters pumpkin spice coffee.”

Stewart told People that she “started modeling when I was a young girl and if the job called for any bit of nudity in any way, I could go with it, it’s okay. I’m not embarrassed about it.” She does have a limit, however. “I think I would be kind of embarrassed to do the cover of Interview magazine the way Kim Kardashian just did,” she said, adding, “That’s not my style! Plus, I don’t have anything like that kind of booty.”

The video is making people feel… certain ways.

Jhené Aiko and Big Sean look overjoyed in recently released pictures from their baby shower: The “None of Your Concern” singer shared photos from her baby shower with Sean on Instagram, and fans can’t stop talking about the rapper’s attire for the memorable affair. The couple just recently announced they would be having a baby boy during a performance at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles.

“Burberry shirt at the baby shower. Big Sean understands culture,” one person tweeted.

The couple was surrounded by their closest friends and family during the intimate gathering to honor the baby boy. Aiko and Sean celebrated their impending bundle of joy with a NASA-themed party, complete with blue balloons and space decorations.

In July, the couple again shook up social media after releasing their maternity photos covered in gold.

When it comes to music, so far, there has been no word about a release date for their follow-up to 2016’s Twenty88. But the duo did announce they have been working on the album since February of this year.

“We’ve been working on it for a little bit,” Sean said during a recent Instagram Live with Queen Naija. “It’s coming along, though.”

Sean had recently collaborated with YouTube-star-turned-songstress on their single, “Hate Our Love.”

PinkPantheress performed her own set at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, but that will likely be buried in her memory behind joining Sunday headliners Paramore to perform “Misery Business.”

One fan captured Hayley Williams welcoming PinkPantheress to the stage and asking her to introduce herself. “I’m PinkPantheress,” the burgeoning UK pop star said while wiping her eyes, met by a screaming crowd. “Thank you for letting me on the stage. This is so amazing. I’m doing music because of you. … I’m not gonna get into it! I just love you so much.” They then launched into a spirited duet of “Misery Business.”

PinkPantheress also posted a video to her Instagram story that shows Williams announcing that she wanted PinkPantheress to join Paramore, and PinkPantheress walking from backstage to greet Williams with a hug. “Stop why am [I] not wearing shoes,” PinkPantheress wrote atop the video footage. “FFS I LUV PARAMORE U CHANGED MY LIFE hayley williams [sic] you are my world, my truth and the air I breathe.”

Paramore resurrected “Misery Business” earlier this month, performing it for the first time as a group since September 2018 during the first show of their 12-date North American tour. (Williams performed the band’s seminal track with Billie Eilish at Coachella in April.)

This Is Why, Paramore’s sixth studio album and first new release since 2017, is due early next year. The title track commenced their comeback last month. The band’s next stop will be at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on Thursday (October 20).

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

Flo Milli’s Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Tour is officially underway. The Montgomery, Alabama rapper headlines her first-ever tour courtesy of Monster Energy after blowing up during the pandemic with her debut mixtape Ho, Why Is You Here and placement on the 2021 XXL Freshman Class. The tour kicks off today in Atlanta for the first of two nights there, then moves on to dates in New York and Chicago before concluding in Los Angeles next month.

The openers on the tour are rising stars Monaleo and Gogo Morrow, the latter of whom will join on selected dates. Monaleo is a rapper from Houston best known for her viral TikTok hit “Beating Down Yo Block.” She’s since released a string of successful singles including Girls Outside,” “Suck It Up,” and “We Not Humping,” garnering a small but passionate following behind her rambunctious, defiant rhymes and precise delivery. Gogo Morrow, meanwhile, hails from Philadelphia and built a career as a backup singer for artists like Lady Gaga before signing to Kenya Barris’ Interscope Records imprint, Khalabo Music.

Steve Bannon could be looking at jail time after being found guilty on contempt of Congress charges over the summer. Donald Trump’s former advisor is staring down the barrel of a sentencing hearing on Friday, and federal prosecutors are pushing for both the maximum prison sentence and the maximum fine after Bannon repeatedly boasted that he’ll pay whatever the governor throws at him.

Via CNN:

“For his sustained, bad-faith contempt of Congress, the Defendant should be sentenced to six months’ imprisonment – the top end of the Sentencing Guidelines’ range – and fined $200,000 – based on his insistence on paying the maximum fine rather than cooperate with the Probation Office’s routine pre-sentencing financial investigation,” prosecutors wrote in their court filing on Monday.

According to the sentencing recommendation filed on Monday, Bannon’s role in the January 6 attack warrants a stiff punishment. “The rioters who overran the Capitol on January 6 did not just attack a building – they assaulted the rule of law upon which this country was built and through which it endures,” prosecutors wrote. “By flouting the Select Committee’s subpoena and its authority, the Defendant exacerbated that assault.”

Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg for Bannon’s legal troubles. After being found guilty on the contempt charges, he was indicted in New York for allegedly ripping off MAGA supporters with his “We Build The Wall” organization. Before leaving office, Trump had pardoned Bannon in the midst of a federal investigation that hilariously saw him being arrested on a boat by the Postal Service. However, that pardon does not protect Bannon at the state level where he’s now facing charges.

Today (October 17), the first round of performers for the 2022 Latin Grammy Awards were announced. Puerto Rican superstar Rauw Alejandro and Colombian pop star Sebastián Yatra will be hitting the stage next month.

Bad Bunny is the most-nominated artist at the Latin Grammy Awards this year with 10 nominations. He’s followed by famous couple Alejandro and Rosalía who have eight nominations each. Rosalía’s Motomami album has an additional nomination in a technical category.

Alejandro’s nominations include Record Of The Year for featuring on Shakira‘s global hit “Te Felicito” and Song Of The Year for Daddy Yankee’s “Agua” with Nile Rodgers. Alejandro has teased his upcoming album Saturno with the singles “Lokera” and recently “Punto 40 Año 2077” featuring Baby Rasta. There’s no doubt that he’s ready to bring a dance party to the Latin Grammy Awards.

2022 has been a breakout year for Yatra. He received four nominations this year, including Album Of The Year for Dharma and Song Of The Year for “Tacones Rojos.” In March, Yatra performed “Dos Oruguitas” from Disney’s Encanto soundtrack at the Academy Awards. He’s going to be singing on the Latin Grammys stage next.

Other performers this year include Mexican icon Marco Antonio Solís, pop duo Jesse y Joy, and Chiquis. In 2020, Chiquis became the first female artist to win Best Banda Album. She’s up for the award again for her Abeja Reina LP. The 2022 Latin Grammy Awards will take place in Las Vegas on Thursday, November 17. The ceremony will be broadcast live on Univision.
