Let your cooking do the talking. Dolly Parton is taking her baking empire a step further and jumping into the world of cookware, and she’s adding one of her most infamous songs to the lineup.

“We added some new cast iron to my collection of cookware with @lodgecastiron! Inspired by a few of my most popular songs and made in Tennessee, just like me,” Parton wrote on Instagram last week showing off a photo off the new additions to her line of cast iron pans inspired by “Jolene” and more.

New editions to Parton’s cookware collection include the Working 9 to 5 Pan Skillet Clock ($59.95), an 8-inch trivet ($24.95) and an 8-inch skillet ($24.95) that reads: “Jolene Please Don’t Take My Pan.”

The 78-year-old country music legend teamed with Lodge, a Tennessee cast-iron cookware company, to release a collection of pre-seasoned cast iron skillets in March.

“Home is as much a state of mind as it is a place for me,” the music icon said in a statement shared on her website on March 15. “I am excited to share these new kitchenware collections inspired by my childhood memories. While we didn’t have much that money could buy growing up, spending time with family over a meal created priceless moments that have lasted a lifetime. It is my hope that these products be a part of wonderful memories for you.”

On Instagram, Parton pointed out that her new collection is “made in Tennessee, just like me!”

The cast iron pots and skillets range from 8 inches to 13.25 inches and feature Dolly-inspired designs, along with her signature and portrait on some of the pots. The pots are named after classic songs such as the I Will Always Love You Cast Iron Skillet ($29.95), the Love Is Like a Butterfly Cast Iron Skillet ($36.95) and the Light of a Clear Blue Morning Cast Iron Skillet ($54.95). There’s also a Dolly Parton Cast Iron Guitar Skillet ($22.95) celebrating her successful foray into rock music.

Chappell Roan’s sudden rise to fame has thrown her into a whirlwind. Keep watching to see what she has to say about her rapid rise to fame!

Tetris Kelly:

Chappell Roan has taken over the airwaves, with a Hot 100 Top 10 and an album approaching No. 1 on the Billboard 200. She sat down with SNL’s Bowen Yang, for Interview Magazine, to talk about what seems like her sudden rise to fame. 

When asked about sharing her struggles on stage, she said, “This is really weird and really hard. In the past, honestly, eight weeks, my entire life has changed. It’s been really emotional because I’m not just singing pop music, it’s automatically political because I’m gay.”

But it is one of the many reasons her fans love her. Over the weekend she gained a couple more famous fans. Folks on the internet discovered that both Ariana Grande and Rihanna followed Chappell on IG. They’re just the latest added to the list of her famous followers. Chappell also told Bowen how fortunate she is to be able to pick and choose which projects she is a part of since she’s so booked and busy now. 

She said “I’ve never been guaranteed money before. That’s the difference. I’ve always been a writer, but I didn’t start making money to pay my rent until last year.” Another perk of her hard earned success is the respect of others. She told Yang, “I’ve never given a fuck about the charts or being on the radio, but it’s so crazy how industry people are taking me more seriously than before. I’m like, ‘I’ve been doing this the whole time, bitch.”

No offense taken on the charts comment, we look forward to seeing Chappell continue to do what she’s done this whole time.

Christoph Behm has been named the new CEO of Sony Music Germany, Switzerland and Austria (GSA), replacing Patrick Mushatsi-Kareba, who is exiting the company at the end of August. 

Berlin-based Behm, who began his career at Sony Music in 2011 and has worked in a number of senior roles for the label over the past decade, including head of streaming and director of digital sales, will report to Daniel Lieberberg, president of Sony Music Continental Europe and Africa.

In a statement announcing Behm’s promotion, Lieberberg said the newly appointed CEO’s “deep understanding of our DSP partners and creativity as a leader will serve him well in his new role.”     

“Christoph has played an important role building and expanding our business across this region during the streaming era,” said Lieberberg. “He has worked closely with our artists to bring their music to new fans in innovative ways and has embraced continuous industry change to create opportunity despite rapidly shifting paradigms and business models.” 

Sony Music did not provide any details about Mushatsi-Kareba’s departure from the company. The outgoing CEO has headed Sony Music’s operations in the GSA region since 2018 when he joined the label from Universal Music Germany. Prior to that, Mushatsi-Kareba spent eight years at Apple, where he was responsible for overseeing the tech company’s music business in multiple European markets, including Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland.

Although Sony Music GSA has enjoyed significant commercial success over the past six years, sources with inside knowledge of their relationship tell Billboard that Mushatsi-Kareba and Lieberberg did not always see eye to eye.

Prior to his promotion to CEO, Behm held the role of senior vp of Sony Music GSA’s commercial division, where he oversaw a large team, including the company’s family entertainment business. In the past two years, Behm’s responsibilities grew to also encompass oversight of catalog, sales and streaming departments in the region.

Top-selling frontline Sony artists in the GSA market include Apache 207, Nina Chuba, Rap Larue and Reezy

“It fills me with pride to now lead the company that I have served in various roles for so many years,” said Behm, who takes up the CEO post on Sept. 1, in a statement. “We are at another exciting time for our industry, and I look forward with great confidence to this next chapter for Sony Music GSA,” he added. 

Germany is the world’s fourth-biggest recorded music market in IFPI’s annual rankings behind the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom. 

John Legend was one of the first major musicians to publicly endorse Kamala Harris for president in 2024, but he’s not the only one in his family supporting the politician.

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter ahead of his private performance at the Democratic National Convention this week, the “All of Me” singer revealed that his 8-year-old daughter Luna — one of four kids he shares with Chrissy Teigen — sees Harris as a role model. “[Luna] is so excited to see someone who’s Black and Asian like she is, [and] a woman like she is — so she’s looking at [Kamala] like, ‘This is me’ up there,’” he told the outlet.

“For her to see that, of course, is really inspiring, and she’s excited,” he continued. “And she can’t imagine why anyone would vote for Donald Trump, but that’s another issue.”

As mentioned, Legend was quick to voice support for Harris when President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race in July. “I’m so ready to work to help unite the pro-democracy coalition to reject Trump’s authoritarian, oppressive Project 2025 and elect Kamala Harris as our President,” he tweeted at the time. “She’s ready for this fight and I’m excited to help her in any way I can.”

The EGOT winner also praised Biden’s decision to let Harris take the reins while speaking to THR. “I think people were kind of apathetic about voting for two 80-year-olds, and they were ready for some new energy and some new excitement,” he said. “I’m truly grateful to President Biden for making that sacrifice, because the default for any president, especially someone who’s had as successful a first term as he has, is to run for re-election. And he understood that that wasn’t necessarily the best thing for the country, and he did something that was really graceful and patriotic by stepping down and allowing a new generation to step up.”

Legend’s remarks come over a week after he announced plans to release an album full of children’s lullabies titled My Favorite Dream, featuring lead single “L-O-V-E.” On the track he sings alongside Teigen and their oldest two children, Luna and 6-year-old son Miles.

Luna also personally illustrated the single’s cover art, and Legend — who’s also Dad to 1-year-old daughter Esti and 2-month-old Wren — wrote on Instagram that all the album’s songs were “baby tested, baby approved.”

“I’m right in the thick of fatherhood,” he added in a statement about the LP, which is due Aug. 30. “My parents loved to sing around the house, making up bedtime songs for us and songs to motivate and inspire us. And Chrissy and I also love singing to our kids. We make up little jingles and ditties for them all the time. In our home, music is very important to the way we interact and communicate with them.”

After Doja Cat made it known she was interested in ‘Stranger Things’ actor Joseph Quinn, it looks like the two were spotted together. Keep watching for details.

Tetris Kelly:
Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn? If you believe it, you can achieve it. We’re breaking down how it looks as if Doja Cat may not have given up on nabbing the actor as bae. And she said what she said: She wanted Joseph Quinn. She once tweeted, “joseph quinn fine as sh–.” The pop star also previously DMed Joseph’s ‘Stranger Things’ co-star Noah Schnapp, and said, “Noah can u tell Joseph to hmu…wait no. does he have a gf?” And when instructed to DM him, she responded, “idk his ig or twitter…he doesn’t have a dm to slide in.”

Joseph later told Entertainment Weekly, “That was funny. That whole experience was quite odd, but it’s fantastic. I admire her enormously as an artist.” How much? Because I guess she got in touch. Now Deuxmoi has caught the two allegedly boo’d up and walking the streets of London, so is it official? Billboard has reached out to reps of both for comment.

It looks like Ye still has love for Donald Trump.

Over the weekend, the Chicago rapper was spotted with his wife, Bianca Censori, in their Tesla Cybertruck outside a Donald Trump rally in Beverly Hills, California. TikTok user @ali.aam.06 captured a group of Trump supporters running up to Ye’s car as he pulled over to show them love. Naturally, the crowd went nuts and couldn’t believe they had just met him as he drove off.

Last month, during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, former White House director of strategic communications Alyssa Farah Griffin revealed a plan the ex-president had for “unifying” the country. “One day he wanted to have Kanye West come and do a church service on the White House lawn to unify the country,” she told a fan after being asked what was the wildest thing that came across her desk as a Trump staffer. “And I can think of a few things less unifying than that. But we were like, ‘Not the time or the place, sir.’”

The former president and Ye have been linked since 2016, when the rapper met with Trump in New York City after he won the presidential election. “I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues,” Kanye tweeted at the time. “I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change.”

Their most recent link-up was when they had a controversial dinner with far-right streamer Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago in 2022, where Ye reportedly asked Trump to be his 2024 running mate. “So I help a seriously troubled man, who just happens to be black, Ye, who has been decimated in his business and virtually everything else and who has always been good to me, by allowing his request for a meeting at Mar-a-Lago, alone, so that I can give him very much needed ‘advice,’” Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time. “He shows up with 3 people, two of which I didn’t know, the other a political person who I haven’t seen in years. I told him don’t run for office, a total waste of time, can’t win. Fake News went CRAZY!”

Also, Trump made an appearance on Adin Ross’ stream earlier this month (Aug. 5) and referred to the rapper as “complicated.” Trump said of West, “He’s very complicated. Let’s say complicated, because he is. He’s a really nice guy, but he can get some people into trouble.” Adding, “And he can get some other people — he’s got a good heart, he does, he does, but he’s complicated.”

Ye has yet to publicly endorse the former president’s current re-election campaign.

A new Lorde musical era seems to be on the horizon.

Producer Jim-E Stack — who has worked with artists including Gracie Abrams, Bon Iver, Dominic Fike, Joji, The Kid LAROI and more — took to Instagram to share a photo of the “Green Light” singer sitting in the studio, working on her laptop. The cryptic post doesn’t have a caption.

The post comes just a week after Lorde completely wiped her social media accounts, leading fans to believe that a new album is on the way. Her bio now reads: “THE THEMES ARE ALWAYS THE SAME— A RETURN TO INNOCENCE— THE MYSTERIES OF THE BLOOD— AN ITCH FOR THE TRANSCENDENTAL.”

Lorde has been teasing her follow-up to 2021’s Solar Power for almost a year now, and recently she posted a brief few seconds of what appears to be new music, alongside a snap of Lorde in the studio, smiling as she rocked her head side-to-side to the techno-leaning instrumental beat. The caption to the post read, “will be back in touch.”

In June, the star posted a number of cryptic pictures, writing “use the existing tools wherever possible” alongside a variety of images including a copyright symbol, three variations of the letter L, the number four in parentheses and a recycling logo.

She also has been deeply engraved in Brat summer, teaming up with Charli XCX on the latter’s hit album for the remix of “Girl, so confusing.”
