Blue Ivy Carter was serving looks on Monday (Jan. 17), when she and her dad Jay-Z attended the NFL game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Arizona Cardinals.

Beyoncé and her twin children, Rumi and Sir, were seemingly not in attendance, as a snap circulated the Internet of just the father-daughter duo, sitting side by side and watching the match.

All eyes, however, were not on the “Can’t Knock the Hustle” rapper, but instead, on 10-year-old Blue Ivy herself, who rocked a sleek graphic t-shirt with a snap back, clear-framed glasses and lots of gold accessories.

Twitter went wild over Blue’s undeniable swag, pointing out everything from her oozing cool factor to jokingly pointing out how she’s the real celebrity in the father-daughter photo.

See some tweets gushing over Blue’s style below.

Gunna scores his second No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart as DS4Ever debuts atop the tally (dated Jan. 22). The rapper previously led the list with his last release, Wunna, which bowed at No. 1 on the June 6, 2020-dated chart. In total, DS4Ever is his fifth charting album and fourth top 10.

The star-studded, 19-track DS4Ever album was released on Jan. 7 and boasts collaborations with and/or featured turns from 21 Savage, Chris Brown, Future, Lil Baby, Roddy Ricch and Young Thug, among others. The album and its release date were announced on Jan. 1, after months of speculation.

DS4Ever launches with 150,300 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 13, according to MRC Data, nearly all from streaming activity. The launch marks his best week yet in terms of units earned. His previous largest week, by units, was the opening frame of Drip Harder, a joint album with Lil Baby, and its 130,000 units in 2018.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Jan 22, 2022-dated chart (where DS4Ever bows No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Jan. 19 – one day later than usual, owed to the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday on Jan. 17 in the U.S. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of DS4Ever’s 150,300 equivalent album units earned, SEA units comprise 144,600 (equaling 193.5 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs in its first week, making it the most-streamed album of the week), album sales comprise 4,700 and TEA units comprise 1,000.

DS4Ever dropped on Jan. 7 as a 19-track standard album via streaming services and digital retail. On Jan. 11, a deluxe edition with four bonus tracks was briefly released to streamers and digital retail, but was pulled down that same day. A 20-track edition of the album, which added “P Power” featuring Drake, was released late in the day on Jan. 13, the final day of the tracking week.

DS4Ever sold for as low as $7.99 in the iTunes Store during its first week, while Gunna’s official webstore sold the digital album for $4.

A CD edition of DS4Ever will not become widely available until late February or early March. However, a standard edition of the album garnered a limited release during street week, including its availability at Rough Trade in New York in conjunction with Gunna’s in-store appearance at the location on Jan. 13.

DS4Ever is the fourth release in Gunna’s Drip Season mixtape series. The first to chart from the series was Drip Season 3, which debuted and peaked at No. 55 in 2018. Gunna then followed it up with Drip Harder, a collaborative album with Lil Baby, which hit No. 4 later that year. In 2019, he released Drip or Drown 2, which peaked at No. 3.

The Weeknd’s album Dawn FM arrives at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, securing the superstar his eighth top 10 album – the entirety of his charting releases. The 16-track Dawn FM was released on Jan. 7 and includes featured guest turns from Tyler, the Creator and Lil Wayne, and guest appearances by Quincy Jones and Jim Carrey.

Dawn FM tunes in with 148,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 13, according to MRC Data. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 131,300 (equaling 173.04 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 14,800 and TEA units comprise 1,900.

Dawn FM is the follow-up to The Weeknd’s No. 1 2020 release After Hours, which launched a trio of No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart: “Heartless,” “Blinding Lights” and “Save Your Tears” (with Ariana Grande).

Dawn FM was led by the single “Take My Breath,” which debuted and peaked at No. 6 on the Hot 100 dated Aug. 21, 2021.

The album’s title and its release date were formally announced on Jan. 3 by The Weeknd after months of build-up. The set was initially teased in mid-2021, and the artist even noted on the May 23 Billboard Music Awards that “the After Hours are done and the dawn is coming.”

Dawn FM was only available via streamers and digital download during its release week. Its CD edition is slated to be released on Jan. 28, while its vinyl LP and cassette editions are scheduled to bow on April 29.

Dawn FM garnered a 19-track deluxe edition release in the midst of its first week, as on Jan. 12 an expanded version of the album, dubbed Dawn FM (Alternate World), hit streaming services and digital retailers. The deluxe set included three new tracks: the previously released stand-alone single “Moth to a Flame,” with Swedish House Mafia, and a pair of remixes (for the album’s lead single “Take My Breath” and the new cut “Sacrifice”).

On Jan. 13, the final day of the tracking week, The Weeknd released three “collector’s” digital album variants for the standard 16-track Dawn FM album via his webstore (each with alternative cover art, priced at $3.49), as well as a “digitally signed” Dawn FM (Alternate World) digital album (priced at $5). In addition, The Weeknd’s webstore sold the standard digital version of Dawn FM for as low as $3.49 during release week, while the iTunes Store sold the standard edition for $7.99.

At No. 3 on the new Billboard 200, the Encanto film soundtrack is pushed down from No. 1 to No. 3 – though with a 32% gain in equivalent album units earned, as the album continues to grow in popularity. The set tallied 95,700 units for the week – its highest single-week sum.

Adele’s former leader 30 falls 2-4 with 48,300 equivalent album units earned (down 15%) and Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping Dangerous: The Double Album dips 3-5 with 42,800 units (up 2%).

The Weeknd’s hits compilation The Highlights climbs 8-6 with 36,300 equivalent album units (up 8%), Olivia Rodrigo’s former No. 1 Sour falls 4-7 with 35,600 units (down 14%), Drake’s chart-topping Certified Lover Boy slips 6-8 with 35,100 units (down 4%) and Doja Cat’s Planet Her dips 7-9 with 33,600 units (down 2%). Rounding out the top 10 is Taylor Swift’s former leader Red (Taylor’s Version) descends 5-10 with 33,200 units (down 12%).

Rihanna is turning heads with a new set of steamy Valentine’s Day-themed photos for her Savage x Fenty lingerie brand.

The 33-year-old singer and fashion mogul took to social media on Monday (Jan. 17) to share some sizzling snapshots of herself modeling a red lacy bodysuit with matching fishnet stockings from Savage x Fenty.

“Valentine’s Day is for me…. but you can watch,” RiRi captioned the gallery on Instagram.

The official Instagram page for Savage x Fenty also shared the photos, along with news of an exclusive product from Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty product line.

“Can y’all handle this heat?” the post reads. “Rih is locked and laced in her @savagexfenty with a purrfected pout in an XCLUSIVE shade of #GLOSSBOMBHEAT that will only be available at savagexfenty.com SOON.”

Rihanna announced in early January that Savage x Fenty will open its own brick-and-mortar stores this year, with locations planned for Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Houston, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.

“2022, we coming in HOT! we bout to bring you a whole new #SavageXFenty experience with the launch of our brick-and-mortar retail stores!” she tweeted with an animation of what the stores would look like.

Pharrell Williams is challenging corporate America to “do more” by supporting entrepreneurs of color and adopting economic equity measures.

The Virginian-Pilot reports that in remarks Monday (Jan. 17) during the Urban League of Hampton Roads’ annual Martin Luther King Jr. awards program, the singer and music producer said big businesses need to invest in people of color and noted that some of them already are.

“Not all businesses,” Williams added. “The smart ones — the ones that will be here in 50 years.”

Williams singled out the Japanese financial and venture capital group SoftBank. He said the group was investing in founders of color, who could then create generational wealth and change their cities for the better.

Williams, who was born in Virginia Beach, also urged businesses and philanthropists to support the Urban League and thanked the local chapter for their work in financial wellness, health and housing.

The event, which could not be held in person because of COVID-19, was livestreamed on Facebook and YouTube. Several local leaders were honored for representing King’s legacy of social justice.

Jon Lind, who co-wrote such hits as Earth, Wind & Fire’s “Boogie Wonderland,” Madonna’s “Crazy For You” and Vanessa Williams’ “Save the Best for Last,” died on Saturday (Jan. 15) following a two-year cancer battle. He was 73.

“The songwriting community lost a great songwriter and a beautiful soul in Jon Lind, who leaves a legacy of iconic songs both as a songwriter and supremely talented A&R man,” ASCAP said in a statement. “The ASCAP family mourns his loss but his humor, his music and his wonderfully generous spirit live in our hearts.”

While still a teenager, the Brooklyn native started as a folk singer, sharing stages with Judy Collins, Harry Chapin, Tom Paxton and other legendary artists. While at New York City’s Mannes College of Music, he formed the Fifth Avenue Band, which was managed by Bob Cavallo and signed with Warner Reprise in 1969, according to an interview Lind gave Songwriter Universe in 2012. He was subsequently in bands that signed with A&M and Capitol before switching to full-time songwriting.

Among the other artists who recorded his songs include Cher, Cheap Trick, Aaron Neville, Jennifer Holliday, Rick Astley and Pete Townshend. Lind received a Grammy nomination for song of the year in 1992 for “Save the Best for Last,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks and was ASCAP’s song of the year.

Lind and John Bettis wrote “Crazy for You” in 1984 for the movie Vision Quest, he told Songwriter Universe.

“The movie studio fell in love with it and wanted a new artist named Madonna to record it, and perform it in the movie. John and I had no idea who she was! …But as it turned out, the release of Vision Quest was delayed for 58 weeks….During this 58-week delay, Madonna released ‘Holiday’, ‘Borderline’, ‘Lucky Star’ and became the biggest artist in the world.”

The song became Madonna’s second No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Primary Wave acquired a majority stake in Lind’s music publishing catalog last January. At the time, Primary Wave’s chief marketing officer Adam Lowenberg said, “Jon has written timeless songs that have resonated in people’s lives for years and continue to do so to this day.”

Lind was equally successful as a label executive. Cavallo, who was then running Disney’s music operations, hired Lind as head of A&R at Hollywood Records from 1998-2011. Among the artists he worked with were Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and Jesse McCartney.

Lind is survived by his wife, Kobalt executive Sue Drew; his daughters, Jenny and Joanna; stepchildren, Daniel D’Astuges and Catherine Jones; and three grandchildren.

Amber Rose is reflecting on some of her past regrets.

The 38-year-old model and actress took to her Instagram Story on Sunday (Jan. 16) to address a resurfaced tweet from 2015 aimed at ex-boyfriend Kanye West, in which she referred to the Kardashians as the “Kartrashians.”

“Man f— that told ass tweet,” Rose wrote. “I never got any apology for his ’30 Showers’ comment but f— it.”

The model’s past comments went viral over the weekend as West, who now goes by Ye, made headlines over drama with his estranged wife Kim Kardashian.

Here’s how it started. During an interview with Power 105.1 in February 2015, Ye disrespected Rose by saying he needed “30 showers” after being with her.

“If Kim had dated me when I first wanted to be with her, there wouldn’t be an Amber Rose,” the rapper said at the time. “It’s very hard for a woman to want to be with someone who’s been with Amber Rose… I had to take 30 showers before I got with Kim.”

Shortly after the interview, Rose responded on Twitter by throwing a shot at Kardashian: “Wait 30 showers? But Kim let RayJ nut on her…. Never mind.” She didn’t stop there. In a trio of tweets directed at Ye, Rose wrote, “I’ll leave that up to the Kartrashians to humiliate u when they’re done with u.”

In her Instagram Story apology on Sunday, the SlutWalk founder wrote that “Kim nor her sisters deserved that tweet and y’all shouldn’t co-sign that either.” Rose added that it was “immature af of me to involve the KarDASHians in the mess HE made,” referring to Ye.

Rose said in closing, “Moving forward…. Learn from my mistakes. We all have kids and family’s life is hard enough right now for a lot of ppl I just wanna spread love and positivity.”

A rap video starring Chris Redd that didn’t air during this weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live was released as a “cut-for-time” clip on YouTube after the show.

SNL‘s Redd leads the song as rapper Lil T. His track features castmate Kenan Thompson, host Ariana DeBose and a special guest: Freddie Gibbs.

“Man shout out my dog Chris Redd for putting me on this SNL s—. Live from New York!!!” Gibbs tweeted on Sunday (Jan. 16).

“Just got signed, so we rich now,” Redd’s Lil T raps at the club, surrounded by an entourage in the sketch. He insists to “run the check up, ’cause it’s all on me.”

That is, until he sees the total on the check: $44,256.

As Lil T devises a backup plan to pay off that shocking bill, Freddie G cuts in about the new artist’s entry to the “big leagues.”

“Shots for everybody, and they all on T,” Freddie raps, to Lil T’s horror.

Watch “All on Me” below to see how it all plays out.

America’s Funniest Home Videos is paying homage to former host Bob Saget.

During Sunday night’s (Jan. 16) broadcast of the ABC program, host Alfonso Ribeiro remembered Saget as a member of the show’s “family.”

“As you’ve heard, the world lost a legend last week, and AFV lost a family member,” Ribeiro said. “Bob Saget is synonymous with AFV to this day, and this show wouldn’t have been the same without his unique sense of humor. It’s been my honor to continue carrying the torch Bob so brightly lit.”

Ribeiro then introduced a montage of clips he described as showcasing “Bob being Bob.” During the montage, clips of comical moments from Saget’s time hosting the show were shown. Another clip included Saget sitting down with then-host Tom Bergeron — Bergeron took over as host of the series after Saget left in 1997 — for the show’s 20th anniversary, where they discussed the different voice-overs he would do. (Watch the tribute at the end of this story.)

News of Saget’s unexpected death at the age of 65 was announced on Jan. 9. The actor and comedian was found unresponsive in a room at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, last Sunday, authorities said. No information has been released on the cause of death, but the sheriff’s department said detectives found no signs of foul play or drug use.

In a statement sent to The Hollywood Reporter, the Saget family said, “We are devastated to confirm that our beloved Bob passed away today. He was everything to us and we want you to know how much he loved his fans, performing live and bringing people from all walks of life together with laughter. Though we ask for privacy at this time, we invite you to join us in remembering the love and laughter that Bob brought to the world.”

On Saturday, his widow, Kelly Rizzo, posted a tribute on Instagram with a photo of her and Saget. “My sweet husband,” she wrote. “After much reflection this week, I’m trying, really trying, to not think I was robbed of time. But instead to think: How lucky was I that I got to be the one to be married to THE MOST INCREDIBLE MAN ON EARTH.”

Following Saget’s passing, the actor was mourned by many in Hollywood, including the Full House cast who said in a statement, “Thirty-five years ago, we came together as a TV family, but we became a real family. And now we grieve as a family.”

Saget was laid to rest Friday afternoon in Los Angeles in a small, intimate funeral of family and close friends.

Kelly Rizzo took to Instagram on Saturday (Jan. 15) to pay tribute to her late husband Bob Saget shortly after he was laid to rest.

“My sweet husband,” Rizzo, 42, began in a lengthy caption alongside a photograph of herself with Saget. “After much reflection this week, I’m trying, really trying, to not think I was robbed of time. But instead to think: How lucky was I that I got to be the one to be married to THE MOST INCREDIBLE MAN ON EARTH.”

The Full House star and TV personality were married in 2018 in Santa Monica. At age 65, Saget died last Sunday in a hotel room in Orlando, Florida. A cause of death has yet to be determined.

Saget was laid to rest on Friday in an intimate service at Mount Sinai Memorial Park and Mortuaries. Among those in attendance were fellow Full House co-stars John Stamos, Lori Loughlin, Dave Coulier and Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.

“I was the one who got to go on this crazy ride with him and be in his life these last 6 years,” Rizzo continued in her social media post. “We had that time to make each other the happiest we’d ever been and change each other’s lives forever. I got to be the one to love him and cherish him. He deserves all the love. Every ounce of it. Because that’s how amazing Bob was. He was love.”

Rizzo called Saget “a force”  and a “special man.” She aims to continue sharing “how amazing he was with the world” and raise awareness of organizations important to him, such as the Scleroderma Research Foundation.

“Honey, I love you more than anything, forever.”
