Mattel has launched an American Girl doll inspired by the hit comedy series Wednesday and the utter icon that is Wednesday Addams. The gothic collectors’ doll is currently available to shop on the American Girl website and for preorder on Amazon for $295. If you’re a fan of The Addams Family, young or old, you need this doll in your life.

This doll comes with tons of Wednesday’s signatures, such as her braided jet black hair and a gothic black velvet dress equipped with a white sateen Peter Pan collar, a signature for the character.

American Girl Launches Wednesday Addams Doll: Here's How to Buy It

American Girl 18-inch Doll, Wednesday Addams Collector Doll with Black Hair, for Ages 8+

An American Girl doll inspired by Wednesday Addams.


The dress is highly detailed, impressively so. You’ve also got white sateen cuffs, an all-over white embroidered print and black buttons down the front. You can find a slew of other intricacies throughout the doll, including a freckled face, black nail polish and a faux-obsidian necklace that flips between the initials “W” and “M” — a gift from Wednesday’s mother, Morticia. You can also pose Wednesday as you please, thanks to her movable vinyl head and limbs.

The doll comes with some major accessories, such as a Thing figurine perched atop Wednesday’s shoulder and two faux plastic bags of piranhas swimming in water in reference to the opening scene of Wednesday. When you purchase the doll, you also receive a pair of black kitten-heel Mary Jane shoes, a pair of black cotton tights and a pair of black cotton underwear. As usual, when you buy a collector’s doll, you also get a numbered certificate of authenticity certifying your purchase.

This doll’s release comes at a perfect time, given Wednesday was just renewed for season three Wednesday (July 23). Wednesday season two will debut on Netflix in two parts on Aug. 6 and Sept. 3. The show was created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and is based on characters by Charles Addams. Tim Burton is an executive producer.

The Wednesday doll joins a slew of pop culture-inspired dolls launched under American Girl’s Collectors Series. Other dolls in the series include Cher and Dionne from Clueless, Elsa and Anna from Frozen and a Peaches ’n Cream Barbie. If those dolls don’t tickle your fancy, you can also make your own to represent yourself down to your socks and shoes.

Travis Kelce thinks that the classic ’90s film Pretty Woman hits pretty close to home, considering his relationship dynamic with Taylor Swift.

In a hilarious moment from the latest episode of New Heights posted Wednesday (July 23), the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and his brother/cohost, Jason Kelce, joked that Travis is living out a gender-swapped version of the Julia Roberts and Richard Gere-led film. Pretty Woman — which the siblings broke down for a film-club segment of their podcast — centers around a prostitute (Roberts) who falls in love with a wealthy and powerful businessman (Gere). 

The parallels between the plot and Travis’ romance with Swift first came up when the two brothers started discussing whether Pretty Woman could be considered a feminist movie. “I think the only way to gauge it is to flip the script,” the Happy Gilmore 2 actor began. “I think we need to make Pretty Man. “And we need to have a CEO billionaire woman be so high class that she doesn’t know where she’s going.”

“Travis, you’re living Pretty Man right now,” Jason interjected, causing his younger brother to burst out laughing. “You are Pretty Man. You’re living your own Julia Roberts straight down.”

Cackling, the Grotesquerie star said in reference to a racy scene from Pretty Woman, “I’m wearing nothing but a tie when Taylor comes home.”

“You can’t beat it, man,” Travis continued before recalling the time he met the film’s lead actress at one of Swift’s Eras Tour shows in Dublin in 2024. “That’s why me and Julia Roberts — when I met Julia — it felt like we were the same person. She spoke to me in this movie.”

The tight end added jokingly, “I’m just an NFL stripper, that’s it — just an NFL hooker, man.”

As one of the highest performing players in American football this past decade, Travis is, in reality, a far cry from the struggling status of Roberts’ character in Pretty Woman — but it’s certainly true that Swift, a billionaire and possibly the most famous woman in the world, has elevated him to new levels of fame. The athlete has been open about how dating the 14-time Grammy winner has brought him more attention and opportunities. 

The couple first started dating in 2023. Swift has since ingrained herself in Chiefs Kingdom and in Travis’ family, becoming close with her boyfriend’s parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, and brother.

Also on the latest episode of their podcast, Jason recalled the first time he met Swift at a Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills matchup in January 2024 — which also happened to be the same game where a shirtless Jason sparked a viral moment while cheering his younger brother on. “That was a f–king really fun day,” the former Philadelphia Eagles center said.  

He added to his brother, “Also the first time I met your girlfriend, so that was an all-timer.”

While Bad Bunny dominates the music realm, he’s also carving his path in Hollywood.

On Monday (July 21) — in the midst of his ambitious 30-day residency in Puerto Rico — the artist born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio attended the Happy Gilmore 2 world premiere at the Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, where he joined the film’s protagonist, Adam Sandler.

In the sequel to the classic sports comedy film released in 1996, the Puerto Rican artist serves as Sandler’s caddie (or club-carrying assistant). Sandler, a hockey-player-turned-golfer, comes out of retirement to enter his first golf tournament in years.

“I haven’t swung a club in years. I’m a little intimidated, all these guys hit it big,” Sandler says in the official trailer while scenes show his supportive caddie cheering him on.

Happy Gilmore 2, set to hit Netflix on July 25 (29 years after Happy Gilmore premiered), is one of the many acting gigs that Bad Bunny has under his belt.

In fact, his acting debut arrived in 2021 when he had a supporting role as Arturo “Kitty” Páez, a new member of the Tijuana cartel, in the Netflix series Narcos: Mexico. “The character is a cool, young guy, and I’m a cool guy, I think so,” the artist previously said of his first-ever TV role on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He’s also had screen time on WWE SmackDown, WWE Monday Night Raw, and Saturday Night Live.

Now, with the upcoming premiere of Happy Gilmore 2, Billboard has compiled every movie Bad Bunny has been in. See the list below.

David Geffen’s lawyers are hitting back after the music and film mogul’s estranged husband sued him over explosive allegations of paid sex, exploitation and abuse, vowing to defeat what they called a “false, pathetic lawsuit.”

The response came less than a day after Donovan Michaels filed a shocking lawsuit Tuesday (July 22), claiming his soon-to-be ex-husband, Geffen, exploited a young man with a history of “neglect, poverty, instability and legal entanglements” by lavishing him with money in return for serving as “a sexual commodity.”

Accusing Geffen of breach of contract, the lawsuit claims the mogul verbally promised a “lifetime” of support in 2020 — only to “cut him off” when the pair began divorce proceedings in May, less than two years after they married in 2023.

But in a strongly worded response statement on Wednesday, Geffen’s lawyer Patty Glaser denied the lawsuit’s allegations and vowed to fight back. “There was no contract — express, written, oral or implied — that has ever existed,” Glaser said. “We will be vigorously and righteously defending against this false, pathetic lawsuit.”

The lawsuit from Michaels, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, went far beyond accusing Geffen of simple breach of contract. Across dozens of pages, it included a wide range of ugly allegations about his brief marriage to the billionaire entertainment titan.

“This case is not about a mere personal falling out — it is about the systemic exploitation of a vulnerable, marginalized young gay Black man by a wealthy, powerful white gay billionaire who believed himself untouchable,” wrote Michaels’ lawyer, Bryan Freedman, in documents obtained by Billboard.

From their first meeting — at which Michaels claims Geffen paid him thousands for sex — the lawsuit alleged that Geffen used a “toxic mix of seduction, control, promises of love and lavish displays of wealth” in order to trap his husband “in a cycle of dependency, submission and humiliation.”

“Behind the glittering facade of their relationship was a calculated pattern of abuse and commodification,” Michaels’ lawyers wrote.

The case was filed as a so-called Marvin action — a reference to a landmark 1976 California court ruling involving Lee Marvin that established that unmarried partners sometimes have legal rights following a split. Michaels says the relationship prior to their 2023 marriage represented “a Marvin-type partnership” in which Geffen made legally enforceable promises of support.

Geffen’s existing divorce case, filed in May by prominent Hollywood divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, will continue to be litigated separately. But Tuesday’s case could be aimed at allowing Michael to seek financial remedies based on the three years prior to marriage, after Geffen’s alleged promise of support.

With a net worth reportedly over $9 billion, Geffen has long been one of the entertainment industry’s wealthiest figures. In 1970, he co-founded the influential Asylum Records, then later founded Geffen Records, which was eventually absorbed by Universal Music Group. In 1994, he co-founded DreamWorks Pictures with Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg.

In 2023, Geffen married Michaels (whose real name is David Armstrong), a former exotic dancer 50 years his junior, without a prenuptial agreement. After less than two years of marriage, Geffen filed for divorce in May, citing irreconcilable differences.

In Tuesday’s lawsuit, Michaels aired many alleged details about his previously private relationship with the media mogul, including that they had met in 2016 on a website called SeekingArrangements.com that aims to facilitate “mutually beneficial” relationships. He also claimed Geffen paid him $10,000 for sex on the night that they first met.

According to Michaels, what started as “a paid sexual relationship” eventually evolved into long-term partnership, in which Geffen allegedly promised in 2020 to provide for him forever.

“Geffen told Michaels he loved him and the two would treat one another as life partners, share all assets equally, and Geffen would support Michaels financially for life,” his lawyers wrote. “Michaels gave up his dreams – his modeling career, his independence – to dedicate himself fully to this promise.”

After the pair married in 2023, the lawsuit claimed much of the marriage “seemed to be based on Geffen’s sexual proclivities,” with the mogul demanding “sexual access at will, including acts Michaels found degrading.” He alleged Geffen had “an unquenchable thirst for control,” frequently demeaned him and plied him with drugs and alcohol as “tools of coercion.”

When Michaels attempted to get sober and “things got difficult,” he said Geffen quickly demanded a divorce, saying he “discarded him just as easily as he had acquired him.” Michaels said he was left with no option but to file his lawsuit because his ex has refused to negotiate their split unless Michaels fires his attorneys and uses Geffen’s own “handpicked team of lawyers.”

Wrote Michaels’ lawyers: “Geffen has made it clear that he will stop at nothing to destroy Michaels.”

If Addison Rae is the queen of “Diet Pepsi,” Fat Joe is looking to be the king. The Terror Squad honcho estimates that he drinks between 30 to 40 cans of Diet Pepsi per day.

Tuesday’s (July 22) episode of Joe and Jada found Fat Joe expressing genuine concern for N.O.R.E.’s health before delving into his own battles, which led to him opening up about the staggering number of canned sodas he’s downing every day.

“I’m not a doctor, I don’t give a f—k. I drink too many Diet Pepsis,” Joey Crack said. “Very, very much I got a problem. Thirty to 40 a day.

He continued: “Let me tell you something: If I went to the doctor, God forbid, and they told me, ‘Yo, you have a problem due to Diet Pepsi.’ I gotta take the s—t on the chin. I gotta be like, ‘I knew I was doing too much with them Diet Pepsis.”

Even if a doctor advised him to kick his diet soda habit, Joe wouldn’t let it stop him. “They’re not stopping me,” he said. “I was in jail with a thousand Diet Pepsis.”

Fans on social media couldn’t believe Joe’s soda intake numbers. “Fat Joe said he drinks 30-40 Diet Pepsi a day. I call bulls–t cause ain’t no way man,” one person wrote to X. Another added, “Fat joe said he drink 30-40 diet pepsi’s a day wallahi that brother gotta change his life!”

Joe has also spoken about his soda addiction in the past. “I used to be really addicted to diet soda, especially Diet Pepsi,” he said in 2023’s What Can’t Fat Joe Live Without. “I’d drink maybe 20 a day.”

Following his performance over the weekend at Sea World in San Diego, Joe’s heading up to the North Dakota State Fair for a show with Bow Wow on Thursday night (July 24).

Watch the clip of Fat Joe talking about his love for Diet Pepsi around the 55-minute mark below.

Sharon Osbourne has spoken on social media after Ozzy Osbourne‘s death.

The British TV personality commented on a tribute to her late husband — who died at the age of 76 on Tuesday (July 22) — written by Gavin Rossdale, the lead singer of Bush. His was one of countless messages of grief that flooded social media in the wake of Ozzy’s passing, but it does appear to be the first one Sharon has responded to. 

On Instagram, Rossdale wrote that he’d met the Black Sabbath frontman “just a few times, but he was so warm and kind and funny, and I love that memory.”

“Sending much love to his family at this difficult time,” he added, captioning a photo of himself and Ozzy. “Rest in power.”

In the replies, Sharon — who was also Ozzy’s manager — simply wrote, “Bless you.” 

Her individual comment follows a joint statement from Ozzy’s family announcing his death on Tuesday. “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” it read. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

In addition to Sharon, the Prince of Darkness is survived by their children Aimee, Kelly and Jack, as well as ex-wife Thelma Riley and their kids, Jessica, Lewis and Eliot. Much of his family was present at Ozzy’s final concert with bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward, who played their Black Sabbath farewell show in Birmingham, England, just three weeks before their frontman’s death. 

Sharon and Ozzy wed in 1982 after meeting through the former’s father, Don Arden, who was Black Sabbath’s manager. Together, the quirky married duo led one of the first-ever family-centered reality shows, MTV’s The Osbournes, on which they quickly became one of TV’s most lovable couples.

Despite some rough patches in their relationship caused by Ozzy’s struggles with alcohol , infidelity and health issues later on, Sharon and Ozzy stuck by one another for more than four decades despite a brief split in 2016. On their 40th wedding anniversary in 2022, Sharon wrote on Instagram, “We first met when I was 18, over 52 years we have been friends, lovers, husband & wife, grandparents and soulmates. Always at each other’s side. I love you Ozzy.” 

Patti LaBelle and Fantasia will soon face off on Celebrity Family Feud, and Billboard has an exclusive look at some of the hilarity viewers can expect.

During the episode airing Thursday (July 24), host Steve Harvey asks LaBelle’s team to offer up an “affectionate term that starts with ‘baby.’” The iconic singer takes a moment to think before her teammate and publicist Aliyah Crawford interrupts her.

“Oh shut up!” she snaps at Crawford as Fantasia and the rest of the audience roar in laughter. Harvey then repeats the question, offering up chuckles of his own.

“I don’t know if he might say it, but ‘baby mama,’” LaBelle answers. The bell dings and the answer ends up being correct, awarding the team 10 points.

LaBelle’s appearance on Celebrity Family Feud comes after she celebrated her 81st birthday with a blockbuster New York City show back in May. During the performance, which was held at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, she took a moment to tell the crowd not to be afraid of aging.

“Let me say something: I have so many people who are afraid to say how young they are,” she told the roaring crowd. “Don’t be scared. 81 is wonderful, OK? Happy birthday.”

Fantasia, meanwhile, is hard at work on her upcoming gospel album. In an April 27 post on social media, she said she was called by God to tap into more spiritual music.

“God has been telling me to do a gospel album for years, and I’ve been running,” she said in the video. “But the world right now is dark, it’s a lot going on … I get to see a lot in the industry. And so I want to give my Father, who’s been so good to me, back what he deserves.”

Tune into Celebrity Family Feud on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. Elsewhere in the episode, viewers can expect to see the Arquette family face off against Martina McBride. Hulu subscribers will have access to streaming the episode on Friday (July 25).

On Wednesday (July 23), Billboard announced the return of the 2025 Billboard Live Music Summit and Awards, taking place Monday, Nov. 3, at 1 Hotel West Hollywood.

Billboard will bring together the live music industry’s biggest names, emerging talent and key innovators for a day of insight and connection, followed by the Billboard Live Music Awards. Both the summit and awards will be programmed by Billboard senior editor Eric Renner Brown.

Last fall, the Billboard Live Music Summit returned after a four-year hiatus, taking over the 1 Hotel in West Hollywood, Calif., on Nov. 15. The day was capped by a Superstar Q&A with Billboard cover star Olivia Rodrigo, who was crowned Touring Artist of the Year for her Guts World Tour, which sold over 1.4 million tickets and brought in $184.6 million – making it one of the biggest pop tours of the decade. In her conversation, she spoke about how she made her second album GUTS with a live show in mind, saying she knew she wanted to deliver rock-inflected songs prime for screaming along to. Because of that, a favorite of hers to perform on the tour has been “All-American Bitch,” which famously includes a mid-song howl that Rodrigo described as “cathartic.”

Other 2024 Billboard Live Music Summit highlights included: Inside the Rise of John Summit, a discussion with the fast-rising DJ and his manager, Holt Harmon; a conversation between Live Nation’s Arthur Fogel and Lady Gaga’s manager Bobby Campbell titled Inside Global Touring Today; and The Power Players conversation with Executive of the Year Louis Messina.

Bad Bunny pulled a rare late night double-down on Tuesday night (July 22) when he popped in to The Late Show to promote his role in the anticipated comedy sequel Happy Gilmore 2, while also dropping by Late Night With Seth Meyers, with the movie’s star, Adam Sandler, in tow.

From the top, Late Show host Stephen Colbert noted that while the singer’s stage name is how the world knows him, he prefers to be called by his birth name, Benito. Dressed in a Gilmore-worthy caddy outfit of shorts, t-shirt, baseball hat and a windbreaker, the Puerto Rican superstar explained the difference to self-described “abuelo” (grandpa) Colbert.

“It’s definitely a stage name,” he said as Colbert wondered if Bad Bunny was a persona that allows the singer to be a different person on stage.

“It used to be. I think at the very beginning, it was more like Bad Bunny was a character, but growing up and there’s more about Benito in Bad Bunny,” Benito said. “I learned that there’s nothing better than [to] be yourself… like in life, but art, music be yourself, it’s the best. Benito, Bad Bunny… they are the same,” he added to cheers from the studio audience.

Benito further explained that when he is on stage Bad Bunny is more “confident and powerful,” in a way that makes him feel different when he’s connecting with the crowd.

Colbert showed footage from Benito’s ongoing historic 30-show homestand in Puerto Rico and asked what it’s been like to share the stage with so many special guests during this iconic run of gigs. “I love to perform everywhere around the world… I love to perform here in U.S.A. with all the Latino community,” Benito said. “But performing at home with my people, it always feels different. It’s like a family reunion, especially these residency shows feel way more united than ever. It’s something magical to me.”

After describing his perfect day in Puerto Rico, Benito came back to discuss his role in Gilmore, including his meet-cute with his “favorite” comedic actor, Sandler. “I’ve been in a lot of Lakers games, but I never saw him before,” Benito said of his courtside seats, where he’s met a ton of other A-listers. But at one game he attended, he spotted Sandler sitting on the other side of the court and he freaked out.

“‘No way, he’s here,’” he recalled whispering to his best friend. “You know who I’m talking about.” Benito said he kept sneaking looks at Sandler and at one point they made eye contact and Sandler shot BB a peace sign. “Bro, I was wearing glasses, ’cause I started to cry courtside. And I was a little tipsy, so I got emotional. I was like, ‘no way he know who I am. He know me!’ And I was so excited and then we met through text.”

Benito plays Sandler’s caddy in the film, which opens on Friday (July 25) and also features Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, Margaret Qualley, Ben Stiller, Kid Cudi, Travis Kelce and professional golfers Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and John Daly.
