Both Jennifer Lawrence and Jack Harlow hail from Louisville, Kentucky — a fact that came as a surprise to The Hunger Games actress while appearing on the newest episode of Chicken Shop Date.

“Really? He’s from Kentucky?” Lawrence, in disbelief, asks host Amelia Dimoldenberg, who goes on to explain that he’s from Louisville.

“I’m from Louisville. There is no way Jack Harlow is from Louisville, Kentucky,” Lawrence replies, to which Dimoldenberg suggests, “I thought you would know, and be friends.”

Lawrence said she’s “down to be friends” with the rapper, referencing how much she “loved” his viral interview with Emma Chamberlain at the 2022 Met Gala. In the clip, the “Industry Baby” star and the YouTube sensation have a hilariously awkward yet flirty interaction, telling each other that they love each other at the end.

Dimoldenberg’s reaction to Lawrence’s statement suggests that the Silver Linings Playbook actress might have not seen her own viral, flirtatious Chicken Shop Date episode with Harlow, which currently has more than 15 million views.

Elsewhere in their date, Dimoldenberg asked Lawrence if the actress’ husband, Cooke Maroney, likes The Hunger Games, in which she starred as Katniss Everdeen. “He just died laughing at me,” Lawrence recalls of the time she asked, “and like, texted all my friends that I said that.”

She later clarified that Maroney, with whom she shares one-year-old son Cy, does in fact like The Hunger Games.

Jelly Roll is taking things short for summer.

The “I Need a Favor” singer/songwriter cut off his long hair and shared a video of the process via Instagram on Friday (June 30).

“You ever wake up and just feel like ‘F— it’? That’s exactly how I woke up feeling this morning,” he says, narrating footage of his haircut. In the clip, Jelly Roll enlists a friend to cut his hair and shape up his beard.

As Jelly Roll readies himself to cut off his signature long mullet, he and his wife Bunnie XO banter, with Jelly Roll calling Bunnie “hair hater No. 1.”

“Are you excited it’s leaving today?” he asks.

“Me and about 5,000 other women!” she responds. “All the ladies in the comments are talking about how beautiful you look with your hair cut, so I’m so excited.”

Bunnie even grabs some clippers to help cut a few of Jelly Roll’s locks off herself. The video shows the rest of the haircut, as locks of Jelly Roll’s curls fall to the floor.

“I can’t believe I cut my curls!” Jelly Roll says at one point in the video clip. “This clip is about acceptance; you can see that I’ve accepted that there is nothing I can do.”

The video ends with Jelly Roll heading to a bathroom to check out his newly shorn hair in the mirror. Clearly happy with his new, shorter haircut, Jelly Roll asked fans to chime in in the Instagram comments section to give their opinions.

“Freshy,” commented Miranda Lambert, who co-wrote “The Lost” with Jelly Roll and Jesse Frasure on Jelly Roll’s album Whitsitt Chapel. Bunnie commented, “We stan a clean shaven king.”

Jelly Roll was recently the cover star of Billboard’s Country Power Players issue, and opened up about his life and career so far, including time spent in jail as a teen and young adult, launching his career as a rapper, meeting his wife Bunnie, and his recent success topping both Billboard’s country and rock charts.

Ahead of the July 7 release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), Taylor Swift has teased her re-recorded “Back to December” in a new trailer for season 2 of the Prime Video series The Summer I Turned Pretty.

The Summer I Turned Pretty.

‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Season 2 Is Coming: Read the Book Before It Drops on…

Swift is no stranger to the Prime Video series, based on the Jenny Han book trilogy of the same name: She debuted “This Love (Taylor’s Version)” — originally from her 2014 album 1989 — in the season 1 trailer for The Summer I Turned Pretty last year. Also, the first season 2 trailer, which arrived on June 8, features her song “August” from 2020’s Folklore, and Thursday’s new preview takes a trip through the calendar, transitioning from Swift’s “August” into “Back to December.”

As previously reported, “August” re-emerged on Billboard‘s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs at No. 17 following the first trailer premiere. It remains to be seen whether “Back to December (Taylor’s Version)” might be released early to capitalize on the new trailer.

“Back to December” was the second single from Swift’s 2010 album Speak Now, which Swift has re-recorded along with new “From the Vault” tracks and is set to be released next week, on July 7.

The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 hits Prime Video a week later, on July 14. Pretty stars Lola Tung as Isabel “Belly” Conklin, who is caught in a love triangle between two brothers: her best friend Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and his older brother Conrad (Christopher Briney). The new season sees the brothers grappling with losing their mom and possibly losing their childhood home as well.

What’s the key to radiant skin? Alicia Keys uses a product from her Keys Soulcare line to achieve the perfect glow, whether she’s on or off tour.

Keys has been candid about skincare and her relationship with makeup. In a recent interview, Keys reflected on why she chose to stop wearing makeup for a while.

“As I started to get more into that personal relationship with myself, that’s when I started realizing, ‘Okay, it’s not about anything specific,’’’ she shared with InStyle. “It’s not about makeup or no makeup. It’s not about mascara or no mascara. It’s not about lipstick or no lipstick. That’s not what it’s about. What it’s about is, how do you want to express yourself, and what space do you want to claim for yourself. And what boundaries do you want for yourself?”

The native New Yorker launched Keys Soulcare, a wellness lifestyle brand, in 2020. Between her skincare brand, tour and a forthcoming off-Broadway musical, the Grammy-winning singer has a packed schedule.

Last week Keys, who debuted her second collection with Athleta in April, shared a photo of herself modeling a bathing suit from the Summer of Soul collection on Instagram with the caption, “Waiting on the Keys to the Summer Tour like…”

Night one of the Keys to the Summer Tour kicked off Wednesday in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. The tour will hit Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Memphis, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and other cities before coming to a close in August. Get tickets here.
