Kim Kardashian made a surprise appearance Thursday night (July 22) at the album event for her estranged husband Kanye West.

Fans posted videos of Kardashian entering the Donda listening event at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium with the couple’s children trailing behind her. Kardashian wore a bright-red jumpsuit and matching red boots with bedazzled heels, which she posted on her Instagram Story ahead of making her entrance. Khloe Kardashian was also in the building, according to videos from the stadium posted to her IG Story.

Kardashian filed for divorce from West in February after six-plus years of marriage. West and Kardashian were married on May 24, 2014, during a private reception in Florence, Italy. The wedding took place 11 months after Kardashian gave birth to their firstborn, North, in June 2013. They’ve since welcomed son Saint, daughter Chicago and son Psalm, all of whom were in attendance at Thursday’s listening.

Donda — which is due Friday — will be West’s first album since his back-to-back 2019 gospel projects Jesus Is King  and Jesus Is Born, the latter of which is credited to the Sunday Service Choir. The new project is named after his late mom, who died in 2007 at age 58.

See a fan video of Kardashian and her kids’ entrance below:

Venezuelan duo Chino y Nacho reunited at the 18th annual Premios Juventud ceremony on Thursday night (July 22) for an emotional performance following Chyno Miranda’s COVID-19 experience.

The pair took the stage to perform a medley of their hits, kicking off with the 2016 chart-topping track “Andas en Mi Cabeza,” followed by “Me Voy Enamorando” and their anthem “Mi Niña Bonita.”

The highly anticipated reunion between the duo — who in 2017 separated but later reunited in 2020 to release their single “Raro” — marks Miranda’s return to the stage after battling COVID-19 and the aftermath that resulted in serious health complications.

In a video posted Wednesday on Instagram, Miranda detailed what he lived with months after being diagnosed with the coronavirus, which compromised his nervous system and was diagnosed with the disorder peripheral neuropathy.

“I want you to know that his process has been really hard and I am hurt and concerned but I want my fans to know that I’m here to have a conversation with them,” he said. “I want them to know the truth. And for them to know that I’m still working on new music. I love you all.”

Watch his message below:

The 2021 Premios Juventud took place Thursday live from the Watsco Center in Miami featuring performances by Karol G, Grupo Firme, Myke Towers, Tini and many others.

Kanye West’s Donda listening event is live.

The rapper is premiering his 10th studio album, set for release Friday, at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Thursday night (July 22) with a massive listening part. The event is streaming live via Apple Music.

Donda is West’s first album since his back-to-back 2019 gospel projects Jesus Is King and Jesus Is Born, the latter of which is credited to the Sunday Service Choir. It remains to be seen what the new project — named after his late mom, who died in 2007 at age 58 — will sound like, but the first song previewed from the project, “No Child Left Behind,” both lyrically and sonically recalls West’s gospel work.

“No Child Left Behind” was previewed in a one-minute Beats by Dre commercial starring track and field star Sha’Carri Richardson. The commercial, which debuted during Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday and was scored and edited by West, includes 60 seconds of “No Child Left Behind.”

The announcement on Wednesday (July 21) that Motown founder Berry Gordy will receive the Kennedy Center Honors in December was welcome news to fans of American pop and R&B from the last 60-plus years — which is to say, just about everybody.

Gordy will be honored alongside Joni Mitchell, Bette Midler, Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels and operatic bass-baritone Justino Díaz. The ceremony is set to tape at the Kennedy Center Opera House in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 5 for airing as a two-hour CBS special around the holidays.

Gordy, 91, founded Motown Records in 1959. Four of his biggest stars received the honor before he did. Take a look:

Stevie Wonder:  Wonder was just 49 when he got the honor in 1999. That makes him one of the youngest Kennedy Center Honorees in history, along with LL Cool J (2017) and Midori (2021), who were also 49 when they were honored in 2017 and 2021, respectively, and the creators of Hamilton: An American Musical, who were even younger when they received a special Kennedy Center Honor in 2018. Wonder is the only artist in Grammy history to win album of the year with three consecutive studio albums: Innervisions (1973), FulfillingnessFirst Finale (1974) and Songs in the Key of Life (1976). Wonder has amassed 25 Grammys and also won an Oscar for “I Just Called to Say I Love You” from The Woman in Red (1984).

Smokey Robinson: The songwriter, former leader of Smokey Robinson & the Miracles and solo star was 66 when he was honored in 2006. Robinson, one of the greatest songwriters in history, has won just one Grammy in competition, for “Just to See Her” (which he didn’t write!). The song, a top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, took the 1987 award for best R&B vocal performance, male.

Diana Ross: The former leader of Diana Ross & the Supremes and solo superstar was 63 when she was honored in 2007. Ross has yet to win a Grammy in competition, despite 12 nominations over the years. (That’s hard to imagine.) She received an Oscar nod for her performance as Billie Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues (1972).

Lionel Richie: The former leader of Commodores and solo star was 68 when he was honored in 2017. Richie has won four Grammys, including album of the year for his second solo album, Can’t Slow Down (1984), and song of the year for “We Are the World” (1985), which he co-wrote with Motown alum Michael Jackson. Richie also won an Oscar for “Say You Say Me” from White Nights (1985).

Two other artists who rose to fame on Motown — Marvin Gaye and Jackson — are of sufficient stature to be seriously considered for Kennedy Center Honors, but both died before they could be honored. Gaye was shot to death in 1984. Jackson died of cardiac arrest in 2009. The Kennedy Center has never honored a solo artist posthumously (though they have recognized two deceased group members — Glenn Frey of Eagles and Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire).
