Plus, Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black was reissued last month for its 20th anniversary and re-enters at No. 42 on the Billboard 200 this week.

My Chemical Romance had always planned to stop using Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders uniforms after just three concerts, and a headline-grabbing lawsuit from the cheer squad played no role in that decision, the band’s manager says in new court filings.

The cheerleaders sued last month, demanding a restraining order after the band’s backup dancers wore look-alike uniforms during shows at the Hollywood Bowl — the grand finale of a dystopian rock opera celebrating the 20th anniversary of the band’s The Black Parade album.

Related

The case ended just days later, reportedly after My Chemical Romance promised not to use the costumes at future shows. But in a sworn statement filed in court Thursday (Oct. 29), the band’s manager, Brian Schechter, said that had always been the plan and was not a response to the lawsuit.

“From the outset, the Finale — with its elaborate sets, full cast, and resolution of the story told during the 2025 and 2026 tours — was planned to be performed only on Oct. 21, 23, and 24, 2026, and on no other date,” Schechter wrote in the Oct. 29 declaration.

“All of these decisions were made nearly a year before I first learned, on Oct. 22, 2026, after the Finale’s first performance, that [the cheerleaders] objected to it,” Schechter wrote. “The Finale was last performed on Oct. 24, 2026, because of those earlier decisions that it was the last performance of that three-part story, not because of any objection by plaintiff.”

In an emailed response to Billboard, Alex Spiro, lead counsel for the Cowboys Cheerleaders, flatly dismissed the idea that the band had already been planning to stop using the uniforms long in advance: “Sure they were,” he writes. “They waved the white flag.”

The Black Parade, the band’s 2006 magnum opus, reached the top of the Billboard 200 this week after an anniversary reissue. My Chemical Romance spent the past two years touring ahead of the looming milestone, culminating in the trio of theatrical concerts at the Hollywood Bowl last month. The shows, which told a satirical story about the “United States by Draag,” featured one scene in which the Cowboys Cheerleaders, armed with rifles, engaged in a faux-firefight on stage.

The cheerleaders’ parent company, Pro Silver Star, sued over that performance on Oct. 23, claiming the use of the look-alike uniforms infringed its trademark rights. Arguing fans and social media users had believed it was the real Cowboys Cheerleaders on stage, the case sought an immediate restraining order legally barring the band from using the uniforms at two final Bowl shows and any future dates.

Legal experts told Billboard the lawsuit faced long odds in court, since My Chemical Romance’s performance was likely protected by the First Amendment. But just days later, news broke that the band had agreed to not use the uniforms in future shows. TMZ, which broke the news based on anonymous sources, said the band had “folded” and that the cheerleaders had “won big.”

But in Thursday’s filing, Schechter said the lawsuit had nothing to do with the decision. He said the final two Hollywood Bowl shows had always been normal tour dates, not the elaborate “Finale” stage show — meaning the Cowboys cheer uniforms never would have appeared anyway. And he said there had never been a plan to use the costumes at other future dates.

Related

“[In 2025], the band and I decided that the Finale would be performed only on the three original dates,” Schechter wrote in the declaration. “The Oct. 30 and 31, 2026, performances and the band’s remaining performances on its worldwide tour are not performances of the Finale and will not include any cheerleader characters or cheerleader costumes.”

The filing came with an attached exhibit, showing the actual email sent by the band’s lawyer (David Byrnes of the law firm Ziffren Brittenham LLP) the day before the news of the quick resolution broke.

“I write to let you know that there’s no need to proceed with the petition for a TRO attached to your email,” Byrnes wrote. “The Black Parade shows are finished and My Chemical Romance will not be performing any remaining shows on its current tour with dancers in the cheerleader costumes your client objects to.”

The new filings came during a brief moment last week when it appeared that Live Nation — the promoter of the Black Parade shows and thus a co-defendant in the cheerleader lawsuit — would continue to fight the case. The concert giant legally transferred the lawsuit to federal court, then filed a full brief arguing why the judge should refuse to grant the cheerleaders a restraining order.

“This is a trademark case about a musical group’s artistic expression and the First Amendment,” Live Nation’s lawyers write. “Plaintiff asks this court to use trademark law to line edit theatrical staging at a Los Angeles concert because plaintiff dislikes the way the show parodied one of the most famous uniforms in the United States.”

But on Monday morning (Nov. 2), that case ended, too, after the cheerleaders and Live Nation filed a joint motion telling the judge that they had reached an agreement for the “dismissal of this action, in its entirety.”

Justin Timberlake has some things to get off his chest. Variety reported Monday (Nov. 2) that the pop star has a four-part “tell-all” docuseries in the works at Apple TV, featuring none other than Janet Jackson as a guest.

The project is reportedly expected to arrive on the streamer in December, with no further details available at press time aside from one of the discussion topics that will be included. With Miss Jackson onboard, the doc will almost certainly look back on the pair’s infamous 2004 Super Bowl controversy, which involved Timberlake exposing her breast on live TV — aka the incident from which the term “wardrobe malfunction” was born.

Related

Billboard has reached out to Timberlake’s reps for comment.

The project comes amid a reflective chapter for the former *NSYNC boy bander, who made headlines in 2021 with a public apology to Jackson acknowledging the disparity in how they were respectively treated after the Super Bowl controversy. “I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn, or did not speak up for what was right,” Timberlake wrote. “I understand that I fell short in these moments and in many others and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism.”

Also in his apology, Timberlake expressed remorse for the disrespectful ways in which he’d previously spoken about Britney Spears following their breakup in 2002.

Things got rocky for JT a few years later in 2024, when he was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated in the Hamptons. He ultimately pleaded guilty to a lesser impaired-driving charge, and the singer was sentenced to 25 hours of community service.

“It’s been a tough week,” Timberlake told fans at one of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour concerts shortly afterward. “I know I’m hard to love sometimes, but you keep loving me right back.”

After the trek ended the following year, the star revealed another challenge he’d been facing behind the scenes: Lyme disease.

“Living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically,” he wrote in a statement at the time. “When I first got the diagnosis I was shocked for sure. But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness.”

Timberlake hasn’t dropped an album since 2024, reaching No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with Everything I Thought It Was. He did, however, recently team up with Quavo on the new song “House Music,” which dropped in early October.

Since their debut in 2024, TWS have captured the spirit of youth through their signature sound: “Boyhood Pop.” From the excitement of first encounters to the joy of moving forward together, their music has always carried a celebratory energy.

But after more than two years in the spotlight, SHINYU, DOHOON, YOUNGJAE, HANJIN, JIHOON and KYUNGMIN are beginning to see the stories of growing up they’ve long told through their music in a different light.

Their second single album, TO US, which arrived Monday (Nov. 2), turns its attention to the less polished moments along the way. Rather than focusing solely on the highs of youth, TWS now speak more openly about mistakes, regrets, and self-doubt, adding a new layer of complexity through their own experiences. It’s not a rejection of the optimism that has defined their sound, but an expansion of what growing up means to them: recognizing that the moments that didn’t go according to plan have become just as much a part of their story.

In conversation with Billboard Korea, the six members reflect on how they’ve changed since debut, what they’ve learned about themselves and one another, and how they hope to expand their musical identity. When asked what they’d tell their past selves and the group they’ve become, they didn’t talk about setting bigger goals. Instead, they speak of keeping going, taking care of themselves, and growing at their own pace.

For a group that has always found reasons to celebrate through music, TO US offers another: the beauty of embracing who they are, imperfections and all.

Martin Lee “Marty” Erlichman, Barbra Streisand‘s manager for more than six decades, died on Oct. 31. He was 97.

Erlichman’s death was due to “age-related causes,” a press release issued on Sunday (Nov. 1) states.

As an entertainment manager, Erlichman is credited with discovering Streisand and helping to shape and guide her career since the early 1960s.

Erlichman was born in Brooklyn, New York, on Sept. 13, 1929, and is an alumni of Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. He’s the recipient of both an Emmy Award and a Peabody Award for his work as executive producer of the 1994 HBO television special Barbra: The Concert.

He first encountered Streisand when she was 19 years old and singing as the opening act for comedian Phil Leeds at Bon Soir nightclub in Greenwich Village. Streisand has recalled that her soon-to-be new manager told her he got chills the moment he heard her vocals; she felt comfortable with him immediately, feeling he “validated all my dreams” while being “like a guy from my old neighborhood. Turns out he grew up near me in Brooklyn. We spoke the same language.”

He helped her secure her first recording contract, with Columbia Records. Streisand is thankful he negotiated giving her creative control on her repertoire and album covers, “an unprecedented contract for a first-timer.”

“Although Marty lived a long and full life, nothing can prepare you for the reality of losing someone so dear,” Streisand said in a statement following Erlichman’s passing. “I truly thought he would live forever. In my eyes, he was simply indestructible — always by my side, through everything. And we never even had a contract. Marty can never be replaced, and I will be forever grateful for his friendship, loyalty, and unwavering support.”

Streisand also said, “A few weeks ago, he was trying to convince me to go on tour, and told me he’d be there every step of the way. I know it’s extremely rare for show business relationships to endure for as long as mine did with Marty. He trusted me, and I trusted him. This is a challenging business, but I always felt protected with Marty by my side.”

A statement from Erlichman’s family reads, “To the world, he was a giant of Hollywood; to us, he was a deeply devoted and loving father, husband, grandfather, and rock. We feel his loss deeply but are endlessly proud of the life he lived and the indelible mark he left on the world.”

Throughout his career in management — with The Clancy Brothers, Tommy Makem and Gary Puckett & The Union Gap among his other music artist clients, and additional clients including comedian/actor Chevy Chase, heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman and record producer/songwriter Bob Crewe — Erlichman also worked as a film producer, with credits including Streisand’s 1974 comedy For Pete’s Sake; psychological thriller Coma (1978), starring Michael Douglas, and romantic thriller Breathless (1983), starring Richard Gere.

Erlichman is survived by his wife of 52 years, Miko Mayama Erlichman, as well as son J.J. Erlichman (who is a tour and production manager) and daughter-in-law Talia, and four grandchildren: Mia, Sarah, Olivia, and Jack. His family plans to hold a private service to honor his life.

Donations may be made in Erlichman’s honor to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or the National Kidney Foundation in lieu of flowers.

Actor and recording artist Antonio Cipriano (Off Campus, Broadway’s Jagged Little Pill), a native of Michigan, is singing the national anthem at Ford Field ahead of the Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day Classic presented by Ford, which is scheduled to air on CBS at 1 p.m. ET. on Nov. 26.

For the second year, Eminem and Paul Rosenberg, his manager and president of Shady Records, chose the Lions’ halftime show talent as executive producers of the show.

“We often like to do things that are both exciting and unexpected,” said Rosenberg in a press release issued on Sunday (Nov. 1). “A Wu-Tang Clan Thanksgiving performance in Detroit certainly fits that description! Both Eminem and myself have been Wu fans since the early ’90s along with a whole generation of Detroit football fans, and we are honored to bring them to this year’s stage.”

Wu-Tang — RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, U-God, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna and the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard (ODB) — are members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2026, set to be inducted at the Nov. 14 ceremony in Los Angeles. The group just wrapped its Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber Tour.

“Our Thanksgiving Day Classic is one of the greatest traditions in sports, and Wu-Tang Clan is one of the greatest performers in music,” said Detroit Lions president and CEO Rich Haddad on Sunday. “We are thrilled to have Wu-Tang headlining our Thanksgiving halftime show and grateful to Marshall and Paul for their partnership.”

Last year, Jack White headlined the team’s Thanksgiving halftime show, sharing the stage with special guest Eminem.

Harry Styles gave fans a memorable sendoff at his final Together, Together residency show at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

On Saturday (Oct. 31), the 32-year-old pop superstar wrapped up the second night — and 30th show of his residency — with Harryween, dressing as the city’s infamous Pizza Rat.

The “As It Was” singer took the stage in a furry brown onesie complete with oversized pink ears, a long tail and black sunglasses, while carrying a giant foam slice of pizza. The costume appeared to pay homage to the viral 2015 video of a rat dragging a slice of pizza down the stairs of a New York City subway station.

Styles’ backing band joined in the Halloween festivities, dressing as other NYC staples, including a hot dog and a taxi cab.

The evening also featured a special tribute to Styles, with Madison Square Garden raising a commemorative banner to the arena’s rafters. New York Knicks captain and 2026 NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson presented the banner to the singer during the show. The Garden also unveiled a new “Defining Moments” exhibit on its sixth-floor, featuring memorabilia from Styles’ 10-week residency.

During the previous night’s Harryween show on Friday (Oct. 30), the Grammy winner opened the evening dressed as Elvis Presley, while his band and dancers dressed as different versions of Styles from throughout his career. He later changed into the outfit he wore for his 2010 X Factor audition and performed Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely,” the song that helped him advance to the next round of the competition at age 16.

Styles’ MSG run supported his fourth solo studio album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., which debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and the Official U.K. Albums Chart.

Styles’ Together, Together tour will continue through August 2027 with a 25-date extension launching April 2 in Phoenix. The North American leg will include stops in Dallas, Los Angeles, Toronto, Atlanta and Chicago. The European leg begins July 2 in Berlin, with additional dates in Paris, Madrid, Rome and Dublin, before wrapping Aug. 28 with the third and final show at London’s Wembley Stadium.
