Industry professionals claim that it takes up to a decade for an artist to become an overnight celebrity. For Chappell Roan that timeline just about fits with her explosion onto the mainstream radar. Still, the “Good Luck, Babe!” singer isn’t a fan of fame.
In fact, just a quickly has she’s been toted as a pop darling (co-signed by Uproxx cover star Jonas Brothers and Adele), Chappell Roan has just as swiftly instituted boundaries to cope with it all.
Last month, Chappell Roan began to call out fans for their “creepy,” “f*cking weird,” and at times “stalker vibes.” Today (August 24), Chappell Roan has doubled down on her decision to enforce boundaries.
In her Instagram stories Chappell Roan uploaded a video statement to outline her stance (viewable here courtesy of Pop Crave).
“I want people to feel safe at my shows and feel like a community,” she said. “I want to feel that way too. I love you. And love is not transactional. And I think you know that. I just thank you for your support. This is nothing to do with that.”
In addition to the clip, Chappell Roan reposted a written statement, originally shared on August 23, that detailed that same sentiments.
Now, according to a report published by Sunday Times, Oasis is planning to reunite on stage. According to a source, the group has already booked a slew of shows. The insider claimed Oasis’ highly-anticipated performances will be sprinkled across the UK, including summer 2025 shows in Manchester and London. As for the supposed lucky venues, Heaton Park and Wembley Stadium are reportedly set to host the group’s eager fans. But that is just the tip of the rumor iceberg.
Liam Gallagher further fanned the rumor flames in an exchange with a fan on X (formerly Twitter). After the user slammed the idea of Oasis playing Heaton Park, Liam hilariously clapped back, writing: “See you down the front.”
Eminem is tough as nail when it comes to any rap foe that takes aim at him. However, when it comes to the “Tobey” rapper’s relationship with his daughter Hailie Jade, he is a big ole softy.
On Eminem’s latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), he displayed his vulnerable side as a father on tracks like “Somebody Save Me” featuring Jelly Roll and “Temporary.” Yesterday (August 23), Hailie Jade confessed that each track brought her to tears.
On the latest episode of her podcast, Just A Little Shady, Hailie shared her emotional response after she listened to the records.
Although she admitted that she could only watch the official music video for “Somebody Save Me,” which features home footage, due to the overwhelming feeling it brought forth, the songs are another story.
“I definitely cry every time I hear it at all,” she said. “Between [Somebody Save Me] and ‘Temporary,’… I audibly sobbed I think for both songs but especially ‘Temporary.’”
While Eminem is proudly sober now, things weren’t always that way. One “Somebody Save Me,” Eminem things back on those times. However, Hailie Jade praised her parents for protecting her from truly seeing how difficult their battle with addiction was.
“I feel like my parents did such a good job growing up where I didn’t realize how bad things were,” she said. “But, now as like, an adult in hindsight, it’s so scary to think about. And I think that’s why I get emotional so much, like just thinking that could have happened.”

There is a growing trend of playing fast and loose with others intellectual property rights. For recording artists it can certainly be annoying when done by a peer (i.e. Kanye West/Ye). But, when politicians enter the ring, the frustration seems to reach new heights.
Yesterday (August 23), Foo Fighters song, “My Hero” was played during Donald Trump’s rally (viewable here) to introduce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Although the Glendale, Arizona crowd enjoyed the classic 1997 tune, Foo Fighters surely didn’t appreciate its unauthorized use.
On X (formerly Twitter), in an exchange with a user the band stressed that. However, should its use result in a spike in streaming revenue, the band does have a clever plan for that—donate it to Trump’s opponent.
X (Twitter)
In a statement provided by a spokesperson to Billboard, the band doubled down on their disapproval and outlined their plan to combat its use. “Foo Fighters were not asked permission, and if they were, they would not have granted it,” read the statement. “Appropriate actions are being taken against the [campaign]… Any royalties received as a result of this usage will be donated to the Harris/Walz campaign.”
This isn’t the first time Trump has been slammed for similar actions. The late Isaac Hayes’ estate reportedly filed of copyright infringement notice for his use of “Hold on, I’m Coming.” Beyoncé allegedly sent a cease and desist for his use of “Freedom,” which was previously approved For Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign video. Even, Celine Dion penned a letter of disdain after her breakout hit “My Heart Will Go On” was used by the Trump/Vance campaign.
Well, hey maybe Kid Rock or Swae Lee can cook up something for Trump. Fivio Foreign and Kodak Black already has.
Yesterday (August 23), Justin Bieber along with his wife and model Hailey Bieber announced the birth of their son with an adorable post on Instagram.
In the image, shared to Justin’s account, displayed their newborn son’s foot being caressed by Hailey’s doting hand. The caption went on to disclose the bundle of joy’s name: “Welcome home, Jack Blues Bieber .”
Instagram
The addition of Jack to the Bieber family, marks the couple’s first child both together or apart. Back in May, Justin and Hailey revealed their exciting pregnancy news with a cinematic visual and accompanying photos.
Since that upload, both have kept their respective fans abreast with the pregnancy’s progress. Last month, Hailey and her bump graced the cover of W Magazine.
Inside the publication’s feature she opened up about her pregnancy fears which played a part in delaying the public announcement until after the six-month mark. “The Internet is a scary place for a pregnant woman,” she said. “You see so many stories—traumatic birth stories, traumatic experiences—and I know that that’s very real. But I don’t want to scare myself.”
The summer is coming to a close, but Drake still has heat to deliver. Yesterday (August 23), the “Too Good” rapper seemingly woke up and chose violence.
Apparently, Drake’s 100 Gigs release was just a warm-up. When everyone least expected it, Drake dropped another previously unreleased collaboration, “No Face” featuring Playboi Carti.
Although Playboi Carti’s guest verses have proven to be a hit song’s secret sauce, he only appears across the track’s chorus. The verses are reserved for Drake, as he seemingly took aim at Kendrick Lamar once again. Back in May, Drake supposedly waved that white flag in heated battle. But, some rap beefs never die.
Drake subtly addressed his longtime foe, Metro Boomin, and possibly Mustard in the opening lines, as he rapped: “This is the sh*t that my daddy had raised me on / N****s got lit off the features I skated on / I gotta know, I gotta know / How you get lit off the n**** you hatin’ on? / Numbers untouchable, they got the data wrong.”
In the next verse, Drake turned his attention to musicians who jumped in to shade him during the height of his beef with Kendrick Lamar.
“Cause I keep on talkin’ ’bout beefin’ and business and money and women / It’s no diagnosis, they emptied the clip / Quick, swap that sh*t out, and I came back reloaded / I’m just so happy that n****s who envied and held that shit in got to finally show it / I’m over the / Moon, yeah, we’ll see you boys soon / I’m spreadin’ my wings, I hop out cocoon,” he rapped.

The Netflix-inspired Suits and Dexter spin offs prove that streaming successes work wonders for fans who want more of their favorite characters. Procedural and legal-leaning series tend to impressively cross that threshold, and it’s no wonder why White Collar devotees want to see the former USA Network series be the next to graduate into reboot territory.
The Matt Bomer-starring series ended in 2014, and a decade later, talk initially began heating up in June with series creator Jeff Eastin and three of the police procedural’s stars coming forward to express their mutual willingness to get the team back together. A few months later, the campaign from within the show is reaching a new level, so let’s talk about what this Suits predecessor is doing to follow in that show’s footsteps.
Plot
White Collar ran for six seasons and followed charmingly handsome thief Neal Caffrey (Bomer) as he became a criminal informant for FBI Special Agent in Charge Peter Burke (Tim DeKay). And if you imagined that Bomer’s ability to slide right into a dual identity and wear the hell out of those suits was natural, think again. A few months ago, the Magic Mike actor sat down for a Netflix promotional video to drum up interest in the show’s post-network streaming life. This move was obviously successful, given the continue push for a reboot, but also, Bomer was sharing how his character’s art of suit wearing and suave-criminal demeanor were not simple matters, as you can hear below:
In addition to Bomer and DeKay, the cast was rounded out by Tiffani Thiessen as Peter’s wife, Elizabeth Burke, and Hilarie Burton as Neal’s love interest and an insurance agent. On the law enforcement side of the equation, the show included Natalie Morales as Agent Lauren Cruz, Marasha Thomason as Agent Diana Berrigan, and Sharif Atkins as Clinton Jones. The late Willie Garson portrayed Neal’s shady friend, Mozzie, who came onboard as an informer, too.
As for the plot of the reboot, a reboot-pilot has been written by co-creator Jeff Eastin, and details are being kept hush hush other than DeKay and Thiessen revealing how the script “honors Willie… in a profound way,” and the latter admitted that she was excited about the prospect of getting back on set with her career-favorite cast members.
Back during a June 2024 Variety-hosted panel, Bomer, DeKay, and Theissen each declared that they were willing and waiting to get suited and heeled up for more episodes after reading a pilot script. Specifically, Bomer declared, “I’m in!” Co-creator Jeff Eastin declared that “we’re gonna reboot.”
Fast forward to late August, and Bomer is still keeping hope alive. He told PEOPLE about the script, and even though he didn’t reveal plot points, something important is happening here:
“It’s a really intelligent, fun, organic way to bring all the characters back together to pay tribute to Willie Garson, Diahann Carroll and folks we’ve lost since the show ended, which was really important to me. It’s something that if you enjoyed the show, you really will have a good time watching it.”
Bomer then added, “We worked long hours on that show, and it never felt like work. It was just such a fun, free, open environment and a great place to just create and explore the characters.” That’s living the dream. And Tiffani Thiessen recently sat down with Popculture and issued a seemingly universal sentiment among the cast: “[O]ut of over 40 years in this business, it is one of the top cast and crew and shows that I’ve done that I would absolutely, if they asked me to come back and do again, that I would say yes in a heartbeat.”
Cast
Matt Bomer, Tiffani Theissen, and Tim DeKay expressed interest months ago, and now, Bomer and Theissen have kept the campaign going. Those are the only confirmed names in the mix, but surely, others won’t be too far behind..
Release Date
Considering how quickly Suits Summer prompted NBCUniversal to run with a Suits: LA spin off, which will arrive within a year of greenlighting, White Collar appears to be even better positioned for a streamlined timeline. The pilot script already exists, and much of the original cast is ready to climb onboard, so if the green light switch gets flipped soon, watch out, 2025.
Trailer
No trailer, man. However, a 13-year-old Paley Center For Media panel discussion included Willie Garson and Co. gushing over how much everybody in the cast cares beyond belief about making quality programming.
This week’s Uproxx Music 20 column takes things to the West Coast, where we shine a light on rapper Teyter Tot. With a project and a slew of singles under her belt, the Oakland native caught my attention thanks to a couple of freestyles that live on her Instagram page. The first is one from a few months ago with the platform In The Kitchen With H-Dot and the other is with another called Hotel Freestyles. In both, Teyter Tot displayed fierce attitude as she fired off brash, tough-talking bars over bass-rattling production.
Teyter Tot’s music reminds me a bit of Rico Nasty’s, only with an emphasis on The Bay rather than the DMV. Teyter’s most recent project came back in 2022 with Different Breed, and though she’s yet to release a record in 2024, she’s spent the last week teasing what we can assume is her next single of many to come. The sky is the limit for the Oakland-bred rapper, so if you want to dive into her releases, you can start with Different Breed highlights like “Act Right” and “Wait” or check out some of her 2023 singles like “Angel” and “Choose Up.”
With more to come from Teyter Tot, scroll down to learn more about her artistry and discover her inspiration, aspiration, and influences.
Music has been a part of my life as long as I can remember, so I’m not sure. What I do remember is my mom telling me when I was a few months old, she would purposefully put on Mary J. Blige and I would sit up and bounce on beat.
Who inspired you to take music seriously?
My mother. She always told me if I do it, do it fully and always encouraged me to finish what I started. She also exposed me to a lot of art as a child so I’ve always been developing a taste for culture.
Do you know how to play an instrument? If so, which one? If not, which instrument do you want to learn how to play?
Yes, I can play piano and drums. I kinda forgot how to read music, but if I studied for like a month, I’d probably have it down again. I still would also love to learn how to play bass.
What was your first job?
Chipotle. I hated it.
What is your most prized possession?
My mind.
What is your biggest fear?
Not trying or being too enthralled in shame based fear that I don’t have the space to grow.
You get 24 hours to yourself to do anything you want, with unlimited resources: What are you doing? And spare no details!
I don’t know, probably walking around butt ass naked with mad jewelry on eating berries and sh*t through a tea garden in Japan. Then I’d swim in a stream or something & smoke a blunt in a country you probably aren’t supposed to.
What are your three most used emojis?
, , and .
What’s a feature you need to secure before you die?
Which celebrity do you admire or respect for their personality and why?
Rihanna, all girls love Rihanna. She’s a boss, she’s that girl.
Share your opinion on something no one could ever change your mind about.
Too many people associate their own value to what they are able to provide monetarily and that gives you low self-esteem which actually makes it harder to live anyway.
What is the best song you’ve ever heard in your life and what do you love about it?
Maybe Sade’s “Smooth Operator” because it’s smooth and player. It feels like an immersive experience each time I hear it.
What’s your favorite city in the world to perform, and what’s a city you’re excited to perform in for the first time?
Favorite city is probably Los Angeles, they show me hella love. I’m looking forward to some day performing in London or Tokyo.
You are throwing a music festival. Give us the dream lineup of 5 artists that will perform with you and the location where it would be held.
But, the show must go on (apparently), and since no one stateside seems willing to put up with his antics anymore, he performed his latest Vultures Listening Experience in South Korea, where the impact of his actions has undoubtedly been muted by cultural differences. While performing at the Goyang Stadium in Goyang-si, South Korea, he played not only songs from his new album, but also from across his discography, including fan favorites like “All Falls Down,” “Gold Digger,” “Stronger,” “Heartless,” “Power,” “Black Skinhead,” and many, many more, all while shouting out former labelmates and rivals.

Netflix bet big on the Neil Gaiman business with The Sandman as the mothership for the Dead Boy Detectives spin off, and a Death standalone mini season sits on fan wish lists. That character ignited what turned out to be the most beautiful episode in this universe as of yet by combining lugubrious vibes from The Sandman with the cheeky tone witnessed on Lucifer. Death is also tied to Dead Boy Detectives as a nice bond between series.
The second season of The Sandman is currently filming, and that leaves a lingering question mark on an unresolved inquiry.
Is Dead Boy Detectives Renewed Or Cancelled For Season 2?
The fantasy drama offshoot gathered up a devoted legion of fans despite — and this is only my suspicion — some viewers remaining out of the loop by not knowing that a The Sandman spin off surfaced. The marketing wasn’t entirely clear about the connection even while including a Death cameo that shocked Kirby Howell-Baptiste’s onscreen sibling, Tom Sturridge (Morpheus/Dream).
Since Netflix hasn’t provided a definitive answer about a second season with more Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri) and Edwin Payne (George Rexstrew), it’s time to grasp at a clue: George Rexstrew is either having too much fun, or he knows something. In a cryptic Instagram reel that has now been noted by fans on Twitter/X, Rexstrew posted a quote from Rudyard Kipling’s “The Sack of the Gods” poem. That line reads, “as long as the red Earth rolls”
Those words match up to Death’s recitation toward a ghost during her Dead Boy Detectives cameo. What does this mean? It could pertain to everything or nothing relating to more episodes of the ghosts who pick up the paranormal mysteries that stump human detectives.
Co-showrunners Steve Yockey and Beth Schwartz have already told Variety that they are ready and waiting to greet another Endless member (Mason Alexander Park’s Desire) beyond Death and Despair. And now we wait.
The first Dead Boy Detectives season is streaming in full on Netflix.
