Bunnie XO just had a breakthrough on her fertility journey with Jelly Roll.

In a raw video posted to her Instagram on Monday (June 16), the podcaster tears up while hiding her face in her hands as she talks inaudibly on the phone, seemingly having just received a piece of good news. “When you just got the call you’ve been waiting on for 5 months since this ivf journey started,” she wrote.

“All the tears, the hopelessness & the struggle, God finally said, ‘Here,’” Bunnie continued, adding in her caption: “Praise Jesus.”

The social media star and country singer have been trying to conceive through IVF for months. In the comments of her post, Bunnie clarified that she’s not pregnant yet — “We won’t announce that,” she asserted — but they are one big step closer to growing their family.

“This is just a huge win for us,” Bunnie noted.

The Dumb Blonde host has been open about her experience with IVF, documenting the ups and downs on social media. In March, she got real on her podcast about how “lonely” the process can be, sharing, “It’s just you and these hormones and the waiting and the egg retrieval … It’s a lot to bear.”

Bunnie also recently clapped back at a troll who implied that she is too old to be trying for a baby. The same commenter also wrote that Jelly Roll — who has been open about his weight-loss journey over the past year — is “so unhealthy looking.”

“Yes, I have decided at the ripe age of 45 that I would love to hear the pitter-patter of little feet with the man that I’ve been with for almost a decade,” said Bunnie, who is a stepmom to Jelly’s two kids from past relationships, 17-year-old Bailee Ann and 7-year-old Noah.

“Not only am I financially in a great place to raise a child, but I’m also spiritually and mentally in a great place because I have been in the darkest places before and I drug myself out from the depths of hell,” she added at the time in a video on her Instagram Story. “Did you know that I was pregnant three times before we decided to do this IVF? I am so thankful that God did not let me have a baby when I was 20 years old because that poor child would have been through so much s–t with me. This is the perfect age.”

There are certain things you never forget: your first kiss, wrecking your dad’s new car, the birth of a child and, definitely, that time you slept with Warren Beatty. Barbra Streisand might have some of those memories, but when it comes to bedding down with Beatty, well, things are a bit fuzzy for the Hollywood legend.

Speaking to the New Yorker about her upcoming duets album, The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two, the 83-year-old star of stage and screen said she definitely remembered being propositioned by Marlon Brando back in the day, but, as she wrote in her 2023 memoir My Name Is Barbra, she just can’t remember is she and legendarily Casanova Beatty did the deed.

“I know I slept in the bed with him, but I can’t remember if we actually had penetration,” she said in answer to a question — more of a statement, really — about how no one in the “history of sex, or Hollywood, or anything” has ever written that line. “I swear to God, I can’t. There are certain things I block out,” Streisand said.

Respectfully, New Yorker editor David Remnick couldn’t help calling b.s. on Streisand’s memory lapse, even as she doubled-down on saying she has no recollection of sex with Beatty. “But I know we’re still friends. Every year on my birthday, he calls me and we have a wonderful talk about our lives, our children, and so forth,” she said. “So we’re still friends. I met him when I was fifteen years old, and he was twenty-one, I think.”

In the memoir, Streisand first revealed that her memory is foggy about any intimate time with Beatty, who has been married to actress Annette Bening since 1992; Streisand married actor James Brolin in 1998. “Warren and I go back a long way (back to summer stock) and there’s some water under that bridge,” she wrote. “Recently, we were on the phone talking politics and who knows what else when he said, ‘I remember why we broke up.’ I said, ‘When were we together?’ Then I hung up and asked myself, Did I sleep with Warren? I kind of remember. I guess I did. Probably once.”

The book features details on the first time she met Beatty, when he was starring in a production of A Hatful of Rain in Connecticut. “He asked me to cue him on his lines. If that was a come-on, I missed it entirely,” she wrote. “He also played the piano. I was impressed. We used to eat together occasionally and talk about life. He was twenty-one, tall with movie-star looks, and women were already falling at his feet. I was sixteen.”

Streisand also chatted with Remnick about Bob Dylan after the New Yorker editor noted that in 1971 Dylan wrote a letter to one of his friends revealing that he’d written “Lay Lady Lay” about Babs, which was followed in 1978 by a letter/flowers exchange. Now, they are reconnecting on the Partners album, where they trade lines on the 1934 Ray Noble pop standard “The Very Thought of You.”

“The fun thing is that we were both nineteen years old, in Greenwich Village, never met each other. I was at the Bon Soir, and he was playing the guitar somewhere else,” she said. “I remember him sending me flowers and writing me a card in different-color pencils, like a child’s writing: ‘Would you sing with me?’ I thought, What would I sing with him? How could we get together on this? I couldn’t understand it at that time.”

But now that they’ve recorded “The Very Thought of You” she is delighted by the song choice that they both love. “He’s very shy, like I am. But he was wonderful to work with. I was told that he didn’t want any direction,” she recalled. “But when I talked to him about things that I suggested, he was so pliable — he was so open to suggestions. Everything I heard about him just went out the window. He stood on his feet for three hours with me.”

Also, for the record, when asked if she would ever tour or perform live on stage again after battling stage fright for much of her career, Streisand gave a clear answer: “Oh, my God! No!” The singer said that aside from when she was a teenager on her way up, she never really enjoyed live performance.

“I never wanted to be a singer; I wanted to be an actress. So I looked for material that I could act from Broadway plays — to be silly, you know, singing ‘Who’s afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?,’” she said. “I was open to the audience, and talking to them. Whatever I was doing was just about being in the moment, things that I was experiencing in acting class. It was never to be a singer; it was to be an actress.” That, and the fact that she’s had a lifelong battle with a bad back. “I’ve always had a bad back. So it’s not just age,” she said.

The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two is due out on June 27 and features a duet with Sir Paul McCartney on “My Valentine,” as well as guest spots from Hozier (the previously released “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”), James Taylor (“Secret O’ Life”), Tim McGraw (“I Love Us”) and Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande (“One Heart, One Voice”).

Fuerza Regida isn’t done doing iconic things.

After making history with 111XPANTIA — which become the highest charting Spanish-language album by a duo or group ever on the Billboard 200 when it debuted at No. 2 in May — the band from San Bernardino, Calif., is set to perform back-to-back shows at the Madison Square Garden and Hollywood Bowl. Taking place June 20 and June 21, respectively, frontman Jesús Ortiz Paz says with a smirk, “Hollywood Bowl is iconic, Madison Square Garden is iconic, so we’re iconic.”

In a candid interview with Billboard, Fuerza Regida also talks about the importance of making history with its latest LP — which also scored the largest week for a regional Mexican album on the Billboard 200 — in a political climate that seems to be anti-Mexican. “We came here to show our roots and make sure that everyone knows that Mexicans can go No. 1 in the U.S.,” Paz adds categorically.

During the chat, with delicious hibachi on the menu for lunch, Paz and band members José García, Moisés López, Khrystian Ramos and Samuel Jáimez spoke about finding the perfect synergy that would lead to their success, how manifestation has always been a big part of their ethos and why giving back to the community is important for the band. In fact, right after lunch, the band sent the hibachi food truck out to the San Bernardino area to feed more than 100 locals.

Fuerza is part of the new generation of regional Mexican hitmakers who have globalized the genre over the past few years. 111XPANTIA marked Fuerza Regida’s sixth No. 1 overall on Top Regional Mexican Albums. The group’s No. 1 run began in July 2019, when Del Barrio Hasta Aquí debuted at the summit, becoming its longest-leading set to date, with an 18-week domination.

The nearly 8,000 current members of Grammy U will be able to submit recordings during the upcoming Online Entry Process (OEP) period for the 2026 Grammy Awards. It’s the first time that Grammy U members have been allowed to enter recordings, though they still won’t be eligible to vote.

“We are thrilled to offer this opportunity to our members for the first time ever in Grammy U’s nearly 20-year history,” said Jessie Allen, Grammy U’s managing director. “We have so many incredibly talented members from all different backgrounds, fields and genres, and this special opportunity will not only give them firsthand experience with the Grammy Awards process, but also a coveted chance to be listened to, nominated and maybe even voted to win a Grammy Award by music’s best and most qualified creators. I can’t imagine a better way to kick off Grammy U’s upcoming 20th anniversary.

Grammy U members can submit any recordings, but the academy encourages them to use this opportunity to submit their own recordings.

While the same OEP eligibility requirements will apply to Grammy U members’ submissions as for Recording Academy voting and professional members and registered media companies, there will be a shorter window for submissions, a $20 fee per entry and a maximum of five entries per member. 

Voting and professional members are allowed five “courtesy entries,” after which they must pay a fee per entry, which climbs as the weeks go by. Early entry pricing (July 16-Aug. 1) is $40 per entry; standard pricing (Aug. 2-22) is $75; and final deadline pricing (Aug. 23-29) is $125. Grammy U members do not receive any gratis entries.

Grammy U member entries must be submitted between July 16 and July 30. By contrast, the entry period for voting and professional members runs from July 16 to Aug. 29.

“As the entry period progresses, so does the daily number of entries the awards team processes,” says an academy spokesperson, by way of explaining the different submission period. “A dedicated two-week window for Grammy U submissions at the beginning of the entry period allows for the awards team to provide some extra attention and help to these first-time submitters.”

Grammy U members pay a fee of $50 for four years of membership. After those four years, the renewal fee is $50 annually, if the person is still eligible. (They meet that test if they are a full-time student of any age or are between 18-29 and actively pursuing a career in music.)

By contrast, voting and professional members pay an annual fee of $150. Media companies pay an annual fee of $180 to register with the academy.

The Recording Academy hasn’t decided if this will be a permanent change or just a one-time opportunity for Grammy U members. “This opportunity for Grammy U members to submit product is something we are very excited to implement for this year,” said a spokesperson. “We are taking it one step at a time and are looking forward to assessing how it goes for future years.”

Notable Grammy U alumni include three Grammy winners: Scott Hoying (Pentatonix), producer/engineer Sarah Tudzin and classical conductor Michael Repper, as well as Grammy-nominated gospel singer Elyse Victoria Johnson and singer/songwriter Leland.

Grammy U members have specifically curated programming and opportunities year-round, geared toward emerging artists and music professionals.

In April, Grammy U hosted its second New York Conference, which included a series of panels and industry-focused networking and career development opportunities for Grammy U members. The event featured Grammy winners Coco Jones and Laufey as keynote speakers, and closed with an exclusive artist showcase headlined by Grammy winner Samara Joy.

In 2024, Grammy U implemented more than 100 national and chapter programs nationwide for Grammy U members. Programs included a Masterclass with Halle Bailey during Grammy Week; a New York conference with Ben Platt, Billy Porter, Remi Wolf and Beanie Feldstein; a Fall Summit with Charli XCX and Troye Sivan; and more than 50 Grammy U Soundchecks – where members get behind-the-scenes looks into how artists prepare for tours and concerts – with artists such as Joy, Laufey, Gracie Abrams, Kacey Musgraves, Twenty One Pilots, Will Smith and Young Miko.

Additionally, Grammy U facilitates a mentorship program that connects the emerging music community with industry players. In 2024, Grammy U facilitated more than 950 mentorship pairs, with 25 international participants in countries including Brazil, Canada, India, Nigeria, Romania and the U.K.
