Did Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz get matching tattoos?

June 11, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz have never discussed their alleged relationship publicly, but they must be pretty close because they’ve evidently gotten matching tattoos.

On Wednesday British Vogue posted a photo of a woman’s tattooed back, teasing that she’s the mag’s July 2026 cover star. From the tattoos, fans identified the woman as Zoë, but also noticed that one of her tattoos consists of the words “LET IT RIP.”

That led fans to crash out over the fact that Harry has seemingly gotten the same tattoo. A photo of him onstage during his Together, Together tour shows the words “LET IT RIP” on his right arm.

Fans believe the phrase “LET IT RIP” is from the TV series The Bear. In the show, the main character’s late brother leaves him a letter that reads, “I love you, dude. Let it rip.”

The current rumor is that Harry and Zoë are engaged. While that hasn’t been confirmed, Zoë was spotted wearing what looks like a large diamond engagement ring.

June 11, 2026 by WDNY Radio

A trailer for Fightland, an upcoming family crime drama on Starz, has been released.

The show, which a press release describes as “a gripping story of redemption, betrayal and brutal ambition – in and out of the ring,” is set against the backdrop of London and centered on heavyweight championship boxer Duke Kilroy.

After his brother is brutally assaulted, Duke is consumed by the aftermath and ultimately serves an eight-year prison sentence. Upon his release, he sets out to exact revenge on the man responsible, according to the release.

“Amidst a volatile criminal landscape and competing influences threatening to pull him off course, Duke will need to channel everything that made him a champion fighter into his bloody pursuit to win the ultimate victory — revenge for his brother,” the series synopsis says.

Fightland stars Howard Charles, Nicholas Pinnock, Deborah Ayorinde, Anita-Joy Uwajeh, Charles Babalola, Tahirah Sharif, Tyler Conti and Richard Pepple. It is the first wholly owned original series for Starz, and the first internationally produced show from 50 Cent and G-Unit Film & Television.

The show premieres July 31 on Starz.

Paul Stanley reveals his pick for KISS’ ‘legacy defining’ song

June 10, 2026 by WDNY Radio

KISS’ Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons are set to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame Thursday in New York, and ahead of the honor, Stanley talked to New York Magazine about their music.

When asked which song he considers the band’s “legacy defining” tune, he said, “It’s hard not to go with ‘Rock and Roll All Nite,'” the iconic track from their 1975 album Dressed To Kill.

“That song is really the template for a lot of songs that came after it, whether ours or other people’s, because it’s an anthem,” he said. “When I started writing it, there were no ‘anthems,’ per se. Our record-company president sat us down and very fortuitously told us that we needed an anthem and we had no idea what that meant.”

The song is known for its signature lyric, “I want to rock and roll all night, and party every day.” Stanley said he always went with “I” and not “we” because “what empowers you is ‘I.'”

“Partying didn’t mean pointed hats and fly whistles. It also wasn’t a drug-fueled social event,” he said of the song’s theme. “It was getting together with people and having a great time.”

“So although it wouldn’t necessarily be my favorite song, its legacy is undeniable,” he noted. “We’ve closed our shows for 50 years with that song because it encapsulates our ethos.”

And while he said plenty of other artists have gone on to release songs with the theme of “lets get together and rock,” Stanley’s not one to stand up and take credit for influencing them.

He added, “That’s for me to know, but certainly not for me to announce. That’s too much self-aggrandizing for me.”

CeeLo Green reveals who he’d like to face in a Verzuz

June 10, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Hypothetical Verzuz battles have been a topic of discussion since the competition first launched, and now CeeLo Green has revealed who he’d like to face if he ever stepped into the ring.

“I would probably have to go up against Lauryn, Lauryn Hill, but she’s like my sister,” he said while appearing on Rickey Smiley’s On the Spot podcast.

“But it would just be nothing but a love affair because we did our first tours together,” he said. “We’ve been friends for years, and she’s a Gemini twin just like me. So that’s my twin sister. But she does rap and sing at the same time, you know what I mean? Like, I think I would have to be paired up with somebody who has somewhat of the same dynamic.”

CeeLo also commented on the Tank and Tyrese Verzuz battle that took place in March, which Smiley said brought “so much joy” to viewers through both the music and friendly roasting between performances.

“And you know what it is? Because we only feel like we know them as far as the song can, you know, expose or allow us to see them,” CeeLo chimed in. “But to see them in real life—their charm, charisma, comedic timing, personalities, you know, it’s just so much more humanizing. That’s why it was so pleasant to see. Shouts out to Tank, shouts out to Tyrese. Both good friends of mine. Both talented leading men. Love them or love what they do.”
