Jung Kook is the ARMY’s favorite foodie, and the 26-year-old superstar enjoyed some of his favorite snacks while celebrating his Latto collaboration, “Seven,” reaching one billion Spotify streams.

In a video posted to Spotify’s Instagram account on Monday (Dec. 18), Jung Kook finds his plate-shaped plaque honoring the milestone underneath a pile of his favorite foods — fittingly, seven of them. Among the BTS star’s picks are soy sauce eggs, banana milk, tuna kimbap, shrimp crackers, turtle chips, japchae and castella.

“Producer Bang Si-Hyuk sent a song to me to listen. It was so great. I thought, this is such an amazing song, what if I mess it up?” Jung Kook recalled of the song’s inception. “I wasn’t working on an album, but after listening to ‘Seven,’ I came out of a break. We rushed to record the music, shoot the music videos, and album photos. Since ARMY have been waiting for so long, we worked very fast.”

He continued, “Because I felt the song needed a rapper — Latto has a great voice and cool presence — so, we reached out to her and everything worked out.”

Latto even sent in a clip to thank Jung Kook for putting her on the song and allowing her to “make history” with him. “Seven” became the fastest song to reach 1 billion streams in Spotify history,  achieving the record in 108 days since it was first released.

It’s hardly the only record Jung Kook’s Latto collaboration has broken, as it landed upon its release at No. 3 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, published July 21, for the highest-charting debut by a solo Korean act. Additionally, “Seven,” launched at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts (dated July 29). The song marked the first leader on the lists for a member of BTS as a soloist, as well as Latto’s first No. 1.

Watch Jung Kook eat his seven favorite snacks off his billion streams plaque here.

SNL vets Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph returned to the show this weekend with Kate McKinnon, who was there to host. Together — and with current cast member Bowen Yang — they hilariously transformed into ABBA and promoted an unearthed Christmas album from the Swedish supergroup.

“They’re the Fleetwood Mac of cold weather, and they’re the No. 1 band alphabetically of all time,” SNL‘s James Austin Johnson said to introduce the group in a commercial parody for ABBA Christmas.

“You can’t get enough of their music. You loved Mamma Mia!, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and the prequel, Mama,” he joked.

“And you love how their hits like ‘Dancing Queen’ make you feel young, sweet and 17. And now, being released for the first time, it’s their 1978 Christmas album, ABBA Christmas, with songs like ‘Santa Queen,’” he said, leading into the group’s festive remake of “Dancing Queen.”

Unforgettable album highlights include “Frostitita” and their “‘Fa La La’ number, sung with their signature ‘standing close facing different directions.’”

The ad points out that the holiday album would be a gift “perfect for everyone, from mothers to their gay sons.”

If any Taylor Swift fans missed her appearance the Kansas City Chiefs vs. New England Patriots game, here’s everything they’ll want to see.

The Chiefs played against the Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Sunday (Dec. 17), and won. Swift attended the game to cheer on boyfriend Travis Kelce, tight end for the Chiefs, and she brought along some family and friends.

Spotted with Swift in a suite at the stadium were dad Scott Swift, Brittany Mahomes, and longtime friends Alana Haim and Ashley Avignone.

Swift and her dad coordinated in Chiefs sweatshirts (Taylor in grey, Scott in a vintage red find). The pop icon also sported a hand-crocheted Chiefs beanie with Kelce’s number, 87, that was made for her by Kut the Knit, who reacted appropriately on Instagram: “TAYLOR SWIFT IS WEARING THE HAT I MADE HER BRB PASSING AWAY RN.”

Clothing shop Westside Storey, one of many Kansas City local businesses benefiting from the buzz about Swift and Kelce’s romance, recently sold Swift a bundle of vintage Chiefs apparel. After Swift wore a red Chiefs sweatshirt at their game last weekend, shop owner Chris Harrington told Billboard that Westside Storey’s online store had an unprecedented number of orders in the days that followed.

Dad-and-daughter duo Scott and Taylor were seen smiling and taking selfies together Sunday, and at one point Mr. Swift seemingly brought out a birthday cake to share with others nearby. Taylor turned 34 earlier in the week, on Dec. 13.

See some clips captured of Swift at Sunday’s game below.

A Barbie song, a Christmas classic, a scene co-starring cats and a dreamy ode to a tampon farm: This was Biliie Eilish‘s Saturday night.

This weekend’s Saturday Night Live musical guest performed “What Was I Made For?” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and lent her comedic side to former and current cast members, joining them for two sketches on the Saturday (Dec. 16) episode.

One was the “Whiskers R We” bit, in which Eilish and host Kate McKinnon ran a “Holiday Cat-tacular” adoption campaign with a twist.

The other was the night’s “Tampon Farm” sketch. As SNL describes it: “A group of crunchy women (Kate McKinnon, Billie Eilish, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Paula Pell) sing a song about working on a tampon farm.”

“Tampon farm,” sings a guitar-playing, Americana McKinnon. “The women making cotton, cotton for the tampons, tampons for the blood/ Tampon farm, women with guitars are singing to the tampons/ Tampon farm.”

Wearing a bandana, plaid shirt and overalls, Eilish makes an appearance, smiling as she holds a barrel of the beloved tampons and shakes more tampons out of a tree. “The hands load the fibers,” she sings.

Watch “Tampon Farm” below.

Every time Taylor Swift shows up in Kansas City, people eat more donuts. 

Last July, Donutology’s two stores in the city made 20,000 donuts in a single weekend after marketing “Tayl-gating” 30-packs, including Lavender Glazes and Caramel Is a Cat bismarcks, to meet the demand of 74,000 Swifties at two Arrowhead Stadium concerts. The stores hastily hired former employees for around-the-clock frying and assigned their marketing director, Abby Meyer, to help in the packaging department. “It hasn’t really died since then,” Meyer says.

Unlike other U.S. cities on last summer’s Eras tour, Kansas City’s Swiftie boom continues, thanks to the singer’s high-profile presence in the city this fall with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce of the NFL’s Chiefs. And Donutology isn’t the only one cashing in on the buzz: Local businesses such as clothing shops Westside Storey and Made In KC and restaurants Piropos and Prime Social have significantly boosted their sales, social-media views and website traffic over the past few months. 

“We can’t attach a number to it,” says Tim Cowden, president/CEO of the Kansas City Area Development Council. “It’s an incredible opportunity that she is providing our region.”

According to the city’s Economic Development Council, Eras tickets across the United States sold at an average price of $1,200, so the Kansas City shows generated $88.8 million in revenue. Additionally, Swifties bought $1,300 to $1,500 worth of meals, merch and other goods throughout the tour, and for Kansas City, that amounted to an overall financial impact of $185 million to $200 million. Then, after Swift’s widely viewed appearance last Sunday in a vintage Chiefs sweatshirt during the team’s game against the Green Bay Packers, Westside Storey, which sold her the item, landed an unprecedented 100 online orders in the two or three days after the game, according to the store’s owner, Chris Harrington.

“It’s quite insane,” says Harrington. “It’s just driven traffic like we’ve never had before. We’re waiting to see when it ends.”

Piropos, the Argentine restaurant where Swift and Kelce had a Kansas City dinner date in late October, reports a similarly massive word-of-mouth reaction. “We didn’t put up any sign. People just called us,” says Cristina Worden, the restaurant’s owner. “We got more reservations, we have more commentary. It’s been great for every business.”

The Eras-related sales spike in Kansas City took Keith Bradley, co-owner of the 11-store gift-and-apparel chain Made In KC, by surprise. Ticketholders streamed into town, buying apparel, jewelry, candles and hats, and the stores scrambled to adapt by launching Swift-themed drinks and friendship bracelets. Nearly three months later, when Swift attended her first Chiefs game, “it felt like that was a new wave,” Bradley says, adding that his shops’ most popular holiday-season products are “anything Taylor and Travis,” such as candles and T-shirts.

The Swift-Kelce romance is a feel-good, fast-moving story and a “buzzworthy partnership,” as Katie Essing, a University of Missouri assistant teaching professor of marketing, describes it — which allows brands to attach themselves for exposure without fearing backlash or consequences. After Swift publicly ate chicken fingers with ketchup and what appeared to be ranch dressing at a Chiefs game in late September, KFC referred to Swift on social media as its “Ranch Queen” and Heinz launched a new flavor called Ketchup and Seemingly Ranch. “Brands having anything to do with ranch could jump on social media,” Essing says. “And that’s what we see happening with the brands in the Kansas City area with this relationship.”

The Eras Tour was so huge — grossing $900 million plus, with 63,000 ticket sales per show, or 3.3 million overall, according to Billboard estimates — that officials and businesses in host cities had to be asleep to not take advantage of the marketing opportunities. Tampa named Swift “honorary mayor”; Las Vegas lit up its Gateway Arches in colors representing all of her albums; and Seattle’s Japonessa Sushi Cocini racked up $10,000 in sales of “Reputation” sushi rolls and cocktails packed with glitter. But only Kansas City has extended its Swiftie effect beyond Eras.

Kansas City mayor Quinton Lucas says the NFL Draft in April, which reportedly drew 312,000 attendees and generated $164.3 million, led to “flack” from some local businesses. (Owners complained about street closures, excessive traffic and high parking costs that kept regular customers away.) “Taylor Swift was the opposite — for almost no municipal investment, we’re getting a heck of an investment,” he tells Billboard. “Any mayor would love to have Taylor Swift just start randomly coming to their city. This is great for our economy. It’s great for our culture. It’s great for letting people know we have this dynamic city. Life kind of sucks, so it’s nice to just see two happy people enjoying life.”

Karol G‘s “Que Chimba De Vida” has topped this week’s new music poll.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Dec. 15) on Billboard, choosing the Colombian star’s new single as their favorite new music release of the past week.

Related

“Que Chimba De Vida” brought in 59% of the vote, beating out new music by Megan Thee Stallion and Renee Rapp (“Not My Fault”), Nicki Minaj (Pink Friday 2 (Gag City Deluxe)), Lil Baby (“Crazy” and “350”), and others.

Karol G — who ranked No. 6 on Billboard’s Greatest Pop Stars of 2023 list — gives the year one final kiss-off with “Que Chimba De Vida,” which translates to “What a Cool Life.” The MAG and Edgar Barrera-produced track starts off unsuspectingly with guitar licks before fully delving into Mexican music inspired production, proving that her upbeat energy — exhibited in Mañana Será Bonito and its follow-up Bichota Season — will continue to flourish well into 2024 (though unclear where the track will live in relation to her previous releases).

Trailing behind “Que Chimba De Vida” on the poll is “Not My Fault,” the team-up between Megan Thee Stallion and Reneé Rapp. The Mean Girls movie musical soundtrack single brought in 35% of the vote. Opening up with Lindsay Lohan’s now-iconic line “It’s not my fault you’re like, in love with me, or something!,” the song’s lyrics are from Regina George’s point of view and as such, boasts rhymes ripe for your next social media post (see: Megan’s witty line, “I run s—, to be a bad b—- is a sport!”)

More criminal records in Pennsylvania can be sealed from public view and fewer people might be kept on probation or in county jails, under legislation signed by Gov. Josh Shapiro on Thursday (Dec. 14).

Both bills passed the House and Senate with large majorities Wednesday amid a flurry of end-of-year action.

The new probation law aims to limit the length of probation and prevent people from being sent back to jail for minor violations in a state with one of the highest rates of residents who are incarcerated or under supervision.

However, it drew criticism from the American Civil Liberties Union, which says the law doesn’t fix the problems that plague Pennsylvania’s probation system and will do little to reduce the number of people under supervision.

The other bill allows courts to seal records of non-violent drug felonies with a minimum sentence of under 2 1/2 years in prison and/or a maximum sentence of under five years.

Under the state’s existing Clean Slate law, it also allows the sealing of certain nonviolent felonies for those who are conviction-free for 10 years and reduces the waiting period for automated sealing of misdemeanors to seven years, rather than 10 years.

Both bills emerged as part of a nationwide reconsideration of the criminal justice system, to help people leaving incarceration resume their lives and find jobs more easily.

The case of rapper Meek Mill helped shine a light on Pennsylvania’s probation system after he spent most of his adult life on probation — including stints in jail for technical violations — before a court overturned his conviction in a drug and gun case in Philadelphia.

The bill will limit the circumstances under which a non-violent offender on probation can be sent to jail. It does not, however, put a cap on the length of a probation sentence.

Judges can continue to “stack” probation sentences and impose probation after incarceration, the ACLU said. The bill also fails to provide an automatic or efficient way to end probation early, it said.

Under it, a judge can order an end to probation, regardless of any agreement on a sentence between a prosecutor and the defendant. But judges no longer have wide latitude to extend probation.

Probation is required to end unless the defendant commits a crime that demonstrates that they are a threat to public safety, has not completed certain treatment or has not paid restitution under some circumstances.

The bill also prohibits courts from extending someone’s probation for not paying fines or court costs if they are found to be unable to afford it.

At Friday’s ceremonial bill signing of the bipartisan Comprehensive Probation Reform legislation, formerly SB 838, Mill took the podium.

Mill was convicted on drug and weapons charges in 2008, when he was 18 years old. Mill faced a years-long series of legal entanglements that helped transform the rapper into an advocate for criminal justice reform and launch the non-profit REFORM Alliance, whose mission is to “transform probation and parole by changing laws, systems and culture to create real pathways to work and wellbeing.” On Jan. 12, 2023, it was announced that Gov. Tom Wolf granted Mill a pardon on the 15-year-old drug and gun charges, meaning his offenses will be permanently expunged from his criminal record.

The rapper described how each time he crossed the Benjamin Franklin Bridge to pick his son up at school in New Jersey, he was crossing state lines and “actually committing crime the whole time for technical violations.”

“I didn’t have any way to get around that because I already was in jail my whole 20s. My son seen me in prison. I wanted to take my son to school,” he said before tearing up.

“I don’t want to get emotional,” said Mill. “It’s a lot.”

“I’m at a point in my life — we all grew up in the streets,” he said. “We tried to be better, but they labeled us felons … I had to fight against that the whole time to gain my respect and be who I am today, and I’m proud of that. People know I don’t even really drop tears, but I want to say this because there’s a lot of young men who follow me in the street, and they don’t even know what I go through to even be in these places with government officials, to change my life, to get on the stage, to be able to speak for a lot of people.”

“It’s not for clout,” Mill said. “It’s something that I stand for. It’s something that I live.”

“I don’t know how I cried on the news I ain’t even cry in my cell! I needed that!” Meek wrote on X, formerly Twitter, Friday night (Dec. 15).

“Changed a law in pa for my people …. Shit made me cryyy,” he said on Instagram, where he shared a photo from that day. “Thank you @joshshapiropa and everyone who worked on this bill @michaelrubin.”

“Thanks for sharing your voice and your story, Meek. You’re making an impact for millions of people. Proud that we got this done,” Shapiro commented on the post.

UPDATE (Dec. 16): Jennifer Nettles, who performed her song “Life Is Sweet” over the In Memoriam segment at the Daytime Emmys’ primetime ceremony on Dec. 15, won an Emmy for that song the following afternoon at the Daytime Creative Arts & Lifestyle ceremony, which was held at the Westin Bonaventure in Los Angeles. Nettles co-wrote the song with Bill Sherman for the PBS series American Anthems. It won for outstanding original song.

Ten composers shared the award for outstanding music direction and composition for the Apple TV+ series Home. The award went to Christopher Bear, BJ Burton, Garron Chang, Demián Gálvez, Amanda Jones, Camilo Lara, Aska Matsumiya, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Cali Wang, Adrian Younge.

Variety Studio Actors on Actors on PBS won outstanding arts and popular culture program, beating Variety Power of Women: Changemakers on Lifetime, among other programs.

Selena Gomez’s Selena + Chef program on HBO Max lost the Daytime Emmy for outstanding culinary series to José Andrés and Family in Spain on Discovery+.

Connie Chung presented her husband, veteran talk show host Maury Povich, with the Daytime Emmys’ Lifetime Achievement Honor, following a tribute package featuring Whoopi Goldberg, Kelly Clarkson, Lewis Black and others. 

“My husband, Maury Povich, is the GOAT, the greatest of all time,” Chung said. “Maury is the longest-running daytime talk show host in the history of broadcast television. I know that you think he’s been determining the paternity of every child in America all his life, but nooo, in his 67 freaking years in television, he’s been a news reporter and a news anchor and old-fashion talk show host interviewing world leaders, politicians, members of Congress, authors, movie stars and even Julia Child.”

PREVIOUSLY (Dec. 15): Kelly Clarkson and her hit daytime talk show kept up their winning streaks at the 2023 Daytime Emmy Awards, which was finally broadcast live on CBS on Friday, Dec. 15. The show aired six months after the originally announced airdate, June 16, a delay caused by strikes by Hollywood writers and actors. (The nominations were announced way back on April 26.)

Clarkson won daytime talk series host despite the fact that hosts of “informative” and “entertainment” shows were made to compete this year. There had separate winners for the two genres in recent years. Clarkson won outstanding entertainment talk show host the last three years.

Likewise, The Kelly Clarkson Show won outstanding daytime talk series, even though “informative” and “entertainment” series competed there too. Clarkson’s show won outstanding talk show, entertainment the last two years. This year the show bested returning nominees The Drew Barrymore Show, Live With Kelly and Ryan and Today With Hoda and Jenna as well as first-time nominee The Jennifer Hudson Show.

Clarkson has now won seven Daytime Emmys over her series’ first four seasons. This compares to three Grammy Awards over a much longer period of time – 21 years. Clarkson is nominated for another Grammy at the Feb. 4 ceremony – best pop vocal album for Chemistry. She and Adele are currently tied for the most wins in that category – two each.

Clarkson wasn’t present to accept her awards for the second year in a row. Should she show up to support the industry (and the awards show) that has been so good to her? Probably.

Entertainment Tonight’s Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner hosted the 50th Annual Daytime Emmys, held at the Westin Bonaventure Los Angeles. They also accepted that program’s award for entertainment news series.

Jennifer Nettles sang “Life Is Sweet,” co-wrote the song with Bill Sherman for the PBS series American Anthems, over the In Memoriam spot. The segment included such daytime TV legends as Barbara Walters and Bob Barker, as well as Olivia Newton-John (who wrote songs for As the World Turns), Three’s Company star Suzanne Somers, and Stephen “tWitch” Boss, best known for his role as a dancer, air personality and producer on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Daytime TV icon Susan Lucci received lifetime achievement honors at the ceremony. Lucci famously lost the Daytime Emmy 18 times for playing Erica Kane on All My Children before finally winning on her 19th try. Carol Burnett, Andy Cohen and Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos were among those who paid tribute to Lucci via video clips. 

Longtime TV, radio and red-carpet host and producer Tanya Hart and veteran music/variety producer Al Schwartz were among those being ushered into the Academy’s Gold Circle, honoring people with 50 years of accomplishment. Hart is best-known for her work on American Urban Radio Networks, BET and E! Entertainment. Schwartz is best known for his long association with Dick Clark on such shows as the American Music Awards and the Golden Globe Awards. This is the first time these awards have presented at the national level. These awards were presented by tabloid talk show veteran Maury Povich, who is slated to receive a lifetime achievement award at the Creative Arts Daytime Emmys on Saturday Dec. 16.

The Daytime Emmys also paid tribute to Dr. Phil and Rachael Ray, two long-running talk shows that ended their runs this season.

The Daytime Emmy Awards have recognized achievement in television programming and crafts since 1974. In 2021, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.

The 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards was produced by NATAS and Associated Television International (ATI). Adam Sharp and Lisa Armstrong were executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie was executive producer from ATI.

In a highly unusual scheduling move, The Daytime Creative Arts and Lifestyle Emmy ceremony will stream live on Saturday Dec. 16, the day after the main telecast, at Watch.TheEmmys.TV and via The Emmys apps for iOS, tvOS, Android, FireTV and Roku. That show will also be held at the Westin Bonaventure.

Here are the winners in selected 2023 Daytime Emmy categories, drawn from both nightly ceremonies.
