It’s about to be another City Girls summer. Today, Caresha Brownlee, better known as Yung Miami from City Girls, revealed the trailer for her upcoming talk show, Caresha Please.

Caresha Please will air online via Diddy’s platform, Revolt. Diddy, who has been entwined in dating rumors with Yung Miami, appears in the trailer for the first episode, where Miami is seen asking a series of questions, including, “Why you never got married?”

“Revolt is about giving a platform to the most authentic and disruptive voices in hip-hop that move the culture,” said Diddy in a statement. “Yung Miami is not only a superstar artist, she’s also unapologetically herself and brings a perspective women around the world can relate to, which is why I’m excited to bring her podcast to life.”

So far, the trailer has only revealed Diddy as one of the guests on Caresha Please, but Miami is promising plenty of surprises.

“Be ready to be entertained,” said Miami in a statement. “You never know who may pop up. All things go on Caresha Please. Nothing is off-limits.”

A special sneak peak of Caresha Please will stream on YouTube and on the Revolt app on Thursday, June 9 at 5 p.m. EST.

This won’t be Miami’s only venture into TV this year. She, along with her City Girls bandmate JT, will serve as an executive producer on HBO Max’s upcoming series, Rap Sh!t, which was created by Insecure‘s Issa Rae.

Check out the trailer above.

Earlier this year, Phoebe Bridgers announced that she would bring her 2021 Reunion Tour to the new year. Bridgers announced performances in North America and Europe between April 13 and August 28. On Tuesday night, made a stop in Toronto, and while she may have expected things to be smooth sailing, fans who attended the show claimed that the night was anything but that. In a report from the Toronto Star, some concertgoers said they were “unsafe” at the show while others described moments of people being “violently trampled” and eventually requiring medical attention.

The publication spoke to Sammy Talukder, a 16-year-old from Kitchener, who was one of the dozens of fans who camped out overnight in order to get a front-row spot at the show. Around 5:30pm local time, venue security allowed attendees to enter the building but only in groups of 20. However, when fans got passed security, Talukder says that they were not allowed to approach the stage which created a bottleneck of “100 to 200 people.” Once fans were allowed to approach the stage, it was reported that a violent rush ensued as fans made their way towards the stage.

“It was basically a stampede,” Talukder said to the Toronto Star. “People were pushing other people and then everyone started running. I lost all my friends, I was alone. People were falling, my foot was stomped on by some girl.” Talukder continued, “I felt so scared and unsafe. And I was alone from all my friends. It was really scary.”

Additionally, multiple fans confirmed that Bridgers was forced to stop her show multiple times in order for fans to receive medical attention.

At the end of the night, Toronto Paramedic Services said that it transported two patients with minor injuries from Echo Beach on Tuesday night. Live Nation Canada also noted that “there was no trampling at the venue.” They continued, “Last night’s show was proactively paused a few times so medical staff could assist fans who were experiencing dehydration. Safety is always our top priority and we worked in close collaboration with medical authorities throughout the evening.”

When the Sex and the City revival And Just Like That… premiered last year, it did so without one of the its central foursome: Kim Cattrall’s Samantha Jones. Some speculated the reason for her absence was the actress’ “painful” feud with main star Sarah Jessica Parker. But in an interview from March, Cattrall offered another big excuse: She’d been done with playing the sex-loving PR god since the second movie, back in 2010.

Keep that in mind when you hear this: In a recent interview with Variety, Michael Patrick King — writer and director of the original shows and movies, and showrunner of its revival — claimed Samantha was back. In what capacity? That’s not terribly clear.

Indeed, when asked if Samantha, who was only referenced on the first season of And Just Like That…, King responded, “Yes!” But he wouldn’t elaborate on how. “It’s all so new right now,” he said. “One of my big rules is don’t tell things until they’re real.” He added, “My goal is to bring all the characters into the mix together, so that they’re not so much on separate runways.”

So what does this mean? A cameo? Just more ghost-texting? Will there be flashback to the younger Samantha, played by someone else? Or will Cattrall pull a 180 and Samantha will suddenly start hanging out with the dreaded Che Diaz? Whatever the case, it sounds similar to the recent claim that Val Kilmer will be back in the Willow revival series, even though he was never present during filming. As with that example, you’ll have to wait to see if you’ll ever see Samantha Jones in person again.

Kid Cudi is ready to bring the world of Entergalactic to his fans this year. Just a day after Cudi announced the first single from his upcoming Entergalactic album, he returned today to share the first trailer from its accompanying Netflix animated series. It features Cudi’s character, Jabari, who is described as a “charming, creative visionary,” according to Consequence. Jabari is best friends with Jimmy, a weed dealer turned crypto bro, who is played by Timothée Chalamet. Elsewhere, Jessica Williams will star as Meadow, an up-and-coming photographer that is also Jabari’s neighbor and love interest. Macaulay Culkin plays Downtown Pat, a “downtown legend and life-long, city-wide delinquent.”

There will also be a decent list of musicians involved in the show. Ty Dolla $ign, 070 Shake, Jaden Smith, and Teyana Taylor are also confirmed as stars for Entergalactic while other actors like Laura Harrier, Vanessa Hudgens, Christopher Abbott, Keith David, and Arturo Castro will also make appearances. Entergalactic is co-executive produced and co-written by Black-ish creator Kenya Barris and Ian Edelman (How To Make It In America)

According to a synopsis from Netflix, Entergalactic is “an original, animated story about a young artist named Jabari as he attempts to balance love and success.” It continues, “Finding the latter brings Jabari a step closer to the former, when moving into his dream apartment introduces him to his new neighbor, photographer it-girl, Meadow. An explosion of art, music, and fashion, Entergalactic takes place in the only city that can handle all three: New York.”

Can we all take a moment and give Kate Middleton a parenting round of applause? Parenting multiple children is already a tough feat, but to do so publicly is a whole new level of challenge. We can’t just lock our children inside our homes and expect that they will emerge just knowing how to behave in public. Children have to be brought into spaces that require certain behaviors so they can learn societal norms. That makes for pretty spicy armpits of nervous parents.

We might want our children to behave like mini-adults in formal or boring situations, but that’s not realistic. We have to be prepared for the meltdowns that are bound to happen. The Duchess of Cambridge was recently reminded of this during the celebrations for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Her youngest, Prince Louis, was acting like a typical preschooler, but on a world stage. Preschoolers were not designed to sit still for long periods of time. They need to move and make noise. I swear, it’s science. That doesn’t stop parents from trying to teach them to sit still and not make noises at fancy events.

Prince Louis behaved exactly like any preschooler would behave at a long event that was not designed with little ones in mind. He threw a tantrum and attempted to hit his mom in the face, and Middleton handled it like a pro. There was no yelling on her part, just a mom doing her best to keep her cool. She calmly redirected him several times and firmly but gently removed his hand from the vicinity of her face.

By now Middleton has gotten this parenting thing down as Prince Louis is her third child, but parenting child number three can be like trying to get a heard of cats into a pool. You know you’ve done it before but for some reason the last one makes you question your sanity.

I can only imagine the frustration she felt in that moment, but it was a quick reminder that duchess or not, she’s still just a mom. Being a mother on the world stage is an experience I personally would never want. Every move is monitored and spread across the globe for people to judge, while sitting on their couches as their own children are likely running amok. So let’s cut Middleton some slack. At the end of the day, she’s just a mom doing the best she can and Prince Louis is just a child doing what children do.

Rappers Juicy J and Pi’erre Bourne are joining forces for the summer. Later this month, the pair will drop their collaborative album, Space Age Pimpin’.

Ahead of the album, Juicy and Bourne have dropped the club-ready lead single, “This Fronto.” On the track, Juicy J mixes a cocktail of drugs, rapping, “This fronto got me high, so high, so high / The Xans got me high, so high, so high / The mollies got me high, so high, so high / The shrooms got me high, so high, so high.”

A prolific producer and an artist in his own right, Bourne swoops in with a flashy verse, proclaiming, “I can tell the future, all I see is dollar signs
/ My diamonds shine like the fourth of July”

Bourne is known for his work on tracks by Lil Uzi Vert and Playboi Carti. With his brooding, downtempo craft, Bourne’s production stylings give “This Fronto” a feel similar to that of old Three 6 Mafia tracks.

Although Bourne has built an impressive resume as a producer, he revealed to Billboard last year that he doesn’t feel he’s made it as a rapper.

“I feel like I made it as a producer,” Bourne said. “With [my albums, The Life Of Pi’erre 4 and 5], that’s been me getting everyone to see that I’m rapping, but a lot of people still haven’t heard TLOP 1, 2, or 3. There’s still a gap to be filled between the millions of people that know me as a producer as opposed to an artist. I just have to gain more awareness, and that’s pretty much what the music has done.”

The Warriors and Celtics will meet for the first time in Boston on Wednesday night, as the NBA Finals shift to the East for Game 3 in a series tied 1-1.

With a little under two hours to tipoff, the two teams took the floor for pregame warmups but the Warriors ran into an issue: their hoop was a couple inches higher than 10 feet, causing a delay as the Celtics arena staff had to figure out how to lower it to the standard height.

Naturally, Warriors fans jumped to conspiracy theories about gamesmanship, although both teams would’ve had to shoot on that rim in the game itself, but it was an impediment to the Warriors pregame rhythm, which is a big deal for routine-driven NBA players. Steve Kerr had a good sense of humor about the situation, joking that it helped that there was such a late start time to the game giving them plenty of time to fix it.

NBA Twitter naturally had some fun with the situation, with plenty of jokes about Hoosiers and Bill Belichick somehow being involved in these shenanigans.

Ultimately this all got taken care of and shouldn’t impact the game, but if the Warriors get off to a slow shooting start you can bet fans will wonder if the rim being off on their end for warmups played a role.

Ever since the gun massacre in Uvalde, Texas, rightwing lawmakers and commentators have tried to blame the tragedy — and the many other recent mass shootings — on everything but guns. Ted Cruz blamed doors. Others smartphones. Then there was Lauren Boebert. The newly embattled Colorado representative made an analogy too nonsensical even for her: She argued that gun control is pointless because America didn’t ban airplanes after the September 11 attacks.

If you’re still reeling from that one, then prepare yourself, because one of her colleagues just repeated it.

On Wednesday, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise gave Boebert’s doozy the Mulligan it didn’t deserve. While discussing the gun violence epidemic that is unique to the United States, Scalise brought up 9/11, struggling to find a connection between it and a teenager murdering 19 children and two teachers with legally obtained weapons.

“Airplanes were used that day as the weapon to kill thousands of people and to inflict terror on our country,” Scalise told reporters. “There wasn’t a conversation about banning airplanes. There was a conversation about connecting the dots. How we can try to figure out if there are signs we can see to stop the next attack from happening?”

It was a frankly less succinct repeat of Boebert’s own failed analogy soon after the massacre, in which she crowed, “When 9/11 happened, we didn’t ban planes. We secured the cockpits.”

An analogy this wack perhaps doesn’t deserve hardcore debunking. But New York Magazine’s Intelligencer did just that for posterity’s sake, pointing out that, yep, American lawmakers did do some air travel banning:

In fact, after 9/11, Congress enacted sweeping restrictions on air travel. Before 9/11, you only had to pass through a metal detector to get onto a flight. You didn’t need a photo ID, you didn’t need to remove your shoes, you didn’t need to pass through a body scanner, you could bring liquids on board, and your family could come meet you at the gate. The “no-fly list” didn’t even exist.

After Congress passed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, and then beefed up security with a series of subsequent measures, none of that is true. Now, law-abiding citizens are subject to a great deal of hassle. A couple years ago, my wife, who is not a terrorist, was pulled aside and subjected to a pat-down search because she mistakenly included some soup in the meal she packed for her flight.

In any case, if you’re waiting for the GOP to stop making nonsensical arguments and listen to Matthew McConaughey, don’t hold your breath.

Nearly a decade ago, Zendaya gained traction in her entertainment career as a star on Disney’s Shake It Up. Between 2010-2013 she appeared on the show and also contributed music to it. In 2013, she released her self-titled debut album which was highlighted by the Platinum-selling “Replay.” Aside from the release of “Something New” with Chris Brown in 2016, Zendaya’s musical offerings have mostly come through her acting roles on shows like Euphoria, Smallfoot, and The Greatest Showman. During a recent interview with her Spider-Man co-star Andrew Garfield, Zendaya opened up about her desires (or lack thereof) for a music career.

“I was talking to Sam [Levinson, Euphoria creator] about this earlier,” Zendaya said as a part of Variety’s “Actors on Actors” issue. “I was like, ‘I don’t know if I could ever be a pop star.’ It’s because as an actor, there’s a level of anonymity that I get to have, which I really like.”

She continued, “And I get to sort my stuff, whatever that is, through a character and nobody needs to know about it. Whereas in other forms and other mediums, it’s all you all the time. I like the idea that somebody else, meaning Rue [from Euphoria], gets to take on that stuff and I can …” Garfield then asked if her worries about pop stardom were connected to her desire for personal boundaries. “Yeah, boundaries,” Zendaya replied. “Learning what’s for me.”

Earlier this week, Kid Cudi served as the keynote speaker at a special dinner for New York-Presbyterian Hospital’s Youth Anxiety Center. As an outspoken mental health advocate, Cudi is open about his struggles with anxiety and depression.

As a musician and the father of an 11-year-old girl, Cudi opened up about his connection to music and maintaining an open dialogue with his daughter.

“Before I actually had therapy, the music was there for me,” Cudi said, per Vogue. “It was the perfect way to express myself and feel safe doing it. I’m always asking my daughter if she’s cool. I’m always checking in with her. That’s important; I feel like that’s good for our connection.”

Known for his unconventional fashions, Cudi wore a dress on Saturday Night Live last year when he was performing as a musical guest. He has also been seen with painted nails in recent photos. Although his stylings may be polarizing among fans, Cudi says the only opinion that matters is his daughter’s.

“Everything that I’m about, she’s about,” he said. “This is a taste of the next generation. She accepts me for as wild and rock and roll as I am… At no point has my daughter ever asked me why I paint my nails. She thinks they’re cool. I don’t care what anybody says when my daughter thinks it’s dope.”
