HBO’s exciting new show ‘The Idol’ has arrived featuring The Weekend, Lily-Rose Depp, Jennie of Blackpink, Troye Sivan and more. And I’m excited to have Troye with me on the show today. Hey, Troye!
Troye Sivan:
Hi, Tetris.
Tetris Kelly:
Good to see you again, man.
Troye Sivan:
Good to see you too. What’s going on?
Tetris Kelly:
Well, I am loving this show and your character is a role. A lot of us pop culture aficionados wish we had and a pop star’s life.

Quantavious Grier, brother of rapper Young Thug, was sentenced Monday (June 5) to nine years and six months in prison after investigators said he violated his probation.
According to WSB-TV, in December, Grier (who performs under the name Unfoonk) pleaded guilty to one count of violating the RICO Act and one count of theft by receiving stolen property as part of the wider YSL case involving Young Thug and several other associates. At the time, Grier was sentenced to 12 years in prison, with two years commuted and 10 years probation.
But on May 4, Grier was arrested again in Atlanta for possessing a firearm by a convicted felon, being associated with a criminal street gang to participate in illegal activity and traffic offenses, WSB-TV reports. According to the outlet, at the time of his arrest, Grier was parked at a BP gas station in a black Mercedes G-Wagon with a group of people around the driver’s side door; in an affidavit, plainclothes officers wrote that they deemed the gathering a possible drug deal. When the SUV pulled away, the officers stopped it, citing a window tint violation and adding that the vehicle smelled like marijuana, which remains illegal in the state of Georgia.
WSB-TV reports that the officer who wrote the affidavit noted a handgun in plain view inside the vehicle: “Mr. Grier advised that the gun was clean, which prompted me to believe he had knowledge of the firearm being there.”
During Monday’s sentencing, Judge Ural Glanville stated that Grier hadn’t paid $141.08 in probation fees or started his community service, but that the deciding factor in his sentencing was being caught with a firearm. “Part of the special condition was that you weren’t supposed to possess a gun,” he added. While Grier’s attorney had asked for a probation revocation of two years in prison, Glanville ultimately handed down the longer sentence.
“The issue I find aggravating in this particular circumstance are several. You got arrested with a gun within six months of you being placed on probation,” Glanville said during the sentencing. “All you had to do was complete your probation and do what you were supposed to do.”
An attorney for Grier did not immediately respond to Billboard‘s request for comment.
Grier was indicted alongside Young Thug (real name Jeffery Williams), Gunna (real name Sergio Kitchens) and dozens of others in May on accusations that their group, YSL, was not really a record label called “Young Stoner Life” but instead a violent Atlanta street gang called “Young Slime Life.” The charges include allegations of murder, carjacking, armed robbery, drug dealing and illegal firearm possession over the course of the past decade. Though Gunna pleaded out in December, Young Thug remains in prison ahead of trial.
For years, Ariana Grande was usually seen in a signature makeup look that included a thick, winged eyeliner and plump lips.
Nowadays, the “Positions” singer is opting for a more natural makeup look, mostly focused on fluttery lashes and hydrated skin, and she took to TikTok to share a hilarious video poking fun at her younger self.
In the clip posted to Grande’s TikTok page, the star is seen mouthing along to a popular clip from Keeping Up With the Kardashians, in which Kim Kardashian asks her mother Kris Jenner, “Do you think your eyes are a little too smokey for every day?”
The clip then jumps to Grande doing her old makeup look, drawing on her feline-inspired eyeliner as she mouths Jenner’s response, “Yeah, I’m going through a phase. Is that OK with you?”
“Me to old me who wouldn’t dare be seen without a thick cat eye and an over drawn lip,” the “POV” singer wrote over the video, tagging her makeup brand r.e.m. Beauty in the caption. In the video, Grande is still rocking her blonde hair as she is in the midst of filming the highly-anticipated movie adaptation of Wicked, in which she plays Glinda the Good Witch.
Watch her playful TikTok video below.
