Using actual white truffle extract, the face spray helps to hydrate, brighten and smooth skin with just a few spritzes. The lightweight formula absorbs in seconds, and makes this a great facial mist to refresh your skin during the day, or as a setting spray for makeup. We like using it after a workout too, to quickly restore and re-hydrate. It works for all skin types too, and the serum-like formula is non-comedogenic, non-greasy and certified vegan.

Aside from delivery hydration and moisture, reviewers say the d’Alba White Truffle Spray helps to combat dullness and soothe irritation (say from dry, flaky skin), while helping to tone and tighten pores.

D’Alba says it has sold more than 40 million bottles of the White Truffle Face Spray to date. It’s also a bestseller on Amazon, with more than 6,000 bottles sold in the last month alone. Get a bottle for $20 here.

As d’Alba CEO Sungyeon Ban said in a press release, “d’Alba is a premium global brand, and the professional and artistic image of Hoshi, who is leading K-pop as a global phenomenon fits the vision and mission of the brand. We are very happy to continue our precious relationship this year followed by last year. Please look forward to our various future collaborations with Hoshi.”

Netflix are reportedly moving ahead with their Building the Band reality series following the recent passing of judge Liam Payne.

News of Building the Band first broke in August 2024, with Netflix revealing they had recruited Payne as a judge for the show alongside the Pussycat Dolls’ Nicole Scherzinger and Destiny’s Child’s Kelly Rowland. The Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean was also confirmed to host. 

Planned to film over the summer, the series’ novel concept revolves around bringing together a number of talented singers and tasking them with crafting their own bands without ever seeing each other. Through the use of isolated booths, the singers would then have to select their bandmates based upon musical compatibility, connection, chemistry and merit.

“And when the bands finally do meet, how will looks, choreography, and style come into play?” asked a press release. “Expect plenty of drama, next-level artistry, and unforgettable performances.”

Following the untimely passing of Payne in October 2024, it was confirmed the series’ filming had wrapped in the U.K. earlier in August, though its future appeared unclear.

Now, Netflix have reported they will be moving ahead with the series as planned, The Hollywood Reporter confirms. 

Though the streaming platform stated they never had announced plans to shelve the show, their issue instead revolved around how prominently Payne would feature in the aftermath of his passing. 

Netflix reportedly hosted a “special presentation” regarding the series in Los Angeles on Wednesday (Jan. 29), during which Netflix Vice President of Nonfiction Series and Sports Brandon Riegg explained that the platform had been involved in conversations with Payne’s family about how to handle his role in the show.

Currently, no premiere date for the series has been announced, though Riegg reportedly claimed there would be more to say about the matter in the future.

Payne passed away in Argentina on Oct. 16 following a fall from a hotel balcony. Earlier this month, a U.K. inquest into Payne’s cause of death returned a finding of “polytrauma”, which refers to multiple traumatic injuries to a person’s body and organs.

To date, five people have been charged in Payne’s death, including the January arrest of Braian Piaz, one of two men accused of supplying drugs to the singer. The others charged to date include CasaSur Palermo Hotel manager Gilda Martin, receptionist Esteban Grassi and Payne’s friend Roger Nores, all of whom are facing manslaughter charges; hotel employee Ezequiel Pereyra has also been charged with supplying drugs to the singer.

We all knew that Taylor Swift would be in the house for the 2025 Grammys, which are set for Sunday (Feb. 2), because she was named in a CBS promo for the show. But now we learn that she will have an official role on the show – as a presenter. Swift is the first presenter to be announced for the show. More are expected on Friday (Jan. 31).

Swift, of course, may also win one or more Grammys on the show, which is being held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. She is nominated in six categories, including the top three awards – album, record and song of the year. She is vying to win album of the year for what would be a record-extending fifth time with her smash album The Tortured Poets Department, which topped the Billboard 200 for 17 nonconsecutive weeks.

Of the 14 previous years where Swift has been a Grammy nominee, she has headed home with at least one award exactly half the time. And in years where she has gone into the show with six or more nominations, as she has this year, she has never been shut out. In 2010, when she had eight nominations, she won four. In 2015, when she had seven nominations, she won three. In 2021, when she had six nominations, she won one. And last year, when she had six nominations, she won two. Here’s a mind-blowing fact: In all four of the previous years where she had six or more nods, she won album of the year.

Swift’s other nominations this year are record and song of the year and best music video for “Fortnight,” a collaboration with Post Malone; best pop vocal album for The Tortured Poets Department, and best pop duo/group performance for Gracie Abrams’ “us.,” on which she is featured.

Live from Crypto.com Arena in L.A. and hosted by Trevor Noah, the 67th annual Grammy Awards will be broadcast live on Sunday (Feb. 2) at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS. The show will also be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

This year’s telecast will carry an added sense of purpose: raising funds to support L.A. wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders.

A series of special performances will highlight the show, including a salute to the life and legacy of Grammy legend Quincy Jones, tributes to the spirit of Los Angeles, and the annual In Memoriam segment.

This is the fifth consecutive year that Noah has hosted the show. He will become the first comedian to host the Grammys five times. He’s also a Grammy nominee for best comedy album for Where Was I. If he wins, he’ll become just the second Grammy host to win on a night that he or she hosted. Kenny Rogers was the first, in 1980.

The 67th Annual Grammy Awards will be produced by Fulwell 73 Productions for the Recording Academy for the fourth consecutive year. Ben Winston, Raj Kapoor and Jesse Collins are executive producers.

This year’s Premiere Ceremony, where the vast majority of Grammys are presented, will stream live at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT on the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel and on the Grammy website. The show will be held at Peacock Theater in the LA Live complex in Los Angeles (which also encompasses Crypto.com Arena). Justin Tranter, a Grammy nominee for song of the year for co-writing Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe,” is set to host the Premiere Ceremony for the second year in a row.

Following the news of iconic British singer and actress Marianne Faithfull’s death, the Rolling Stones have paid tribute to their longtime friend.

The band’s official X account posted a throwback video of a young Mick Jagger and Keith Richards performing “As Tears Go By,” a song written by the duo and offered to Faithfull, who released it in 1964. “For Marianne,” the caption reads along with a yellow heart.

Faithfull was first discovered at a London party by Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham, who introduced her to Jagger and Richards. Faithfull’s rendition of “As Tears Go By” hit the top 10 in the U.K. in 1964, and also crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 22. Faithfull and Jagger began dating in 1965, and the singer is widely believed to have been the inspiration behind Rolling Stones tracks like “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” and “Wild Horses.”

Jagger also individually honored Faithfull on his Instagram page alongside a black-and-white photo of the duo. “She was so much part of my life for so long. She was a wonderful friend, a beautiful singer and a great actress. She will always be remembered,” he captioned his post.

Richards wrote in his own post, “My heartfelt condolences to Marianne’s family! I am so sad and will miss her!!”

The news of Faithfull’s death was shared in a statement to BBC. “It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of the singer, songwriter and actress Marianne Faithfull,” it reads. “Marianne passed away peacefully in London today, in the company of her loving family. She will be dearly missed.”

A cause of death has yet to be revealed. 

Nick Cave has already sorted the soundtrack for his funeral, with Kanye West apparently set to accompany the somber scene.

Cave’s musical request was made via his Red Hand Files website in which he responds to letters from fans. One letter, from Helen in the U.K., reflected on Cave’s choices for his recent appearance on BBC Radio’s Desert Island Discs segment, in which listeners choose the songs to accompany them on a desert island. Cave’s eight songs included cuts from Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, T. Rex, Nina Simone, John Lee Hooker, Karen Dalton, Tim Rose, Kanye West, and The Saints.

Helen’s letter went on to ask Cave about how he deals with hypothetical questions related to loss and guilt, while another inquiry from Damian in the U.S. asked about the song he would like to be played at his funeral.

Following a lengthy rumination on his own experiences with grief, Cave closed his response by answering Damian’s question with a track from 2013’s Yeezus album: “Please, ‘I Am A God’ by Kanye West”.

It’s not the first time that Cave had professed his love of West, with another Red Hand Files response from January 2020 seeing West described as “our greatest artist” by the Australian musician.

“Making art is a form of madness – we slip deep within our own singular vision and become lost to it,” Cave wrote at the time. “There is no musician on Earth that is as committed to their own derangement as Kanye, and in this respect, at this point in time, he is our greatest artist.”

Months after that praise, a fan named Vassilis inquired via Cave’s site about whether West’s 2021 album Donda had been “delayed because you both took the last-minute decision to include a track you have been working on together”. Cave’s response was much shorter and succinct than his typical responses: “Dear Vassilis, No. Love, Nick.”
