New album, new hat. Bruno Mars has put out a limited-edition cowboy hat as part of his Ricky Regal collection with Stetson. The Regal Range 6x is lined with a rose motif and lettering that matches the aesthetic of his new album, The Romantic. Available in either black or fawn, it comes with a gold-toned, rhinestone-studded horseshoe pin and removable feather details. The bad news is that there are only 100 of each color available, and they cost $385 each.

In other male pop stars with clothing brands news, Vogue reports that when Harry Styles was spotting out for a run in Brooklyn, New York, Wednesday he was wearing a pair of dove-gray running shorts from his Pleasing lifestyle brand, which haven’t been released yet.

Katy Perry keeps some impressive company: She posted photos of herself attending designer Diane von Furstenberg’s annual luncheon celebrating female Oscar nominees. Katy appeared to be the only singer on the guest list — she’s seen posing with Diane, Jane Fonda, Gwyneth Paltrow, songwriter Diane Warren, Tracee Ellis Ross, jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer and philanthropist Nicole Avant Sarandos, among others. According to Variety, other attendees included Demi Moore, Quinta Brunson, Rachel Zoe, Rita Wilson and Fran Drescher. Katy captioned the post, “Women. In charge. With @DVF always leading the charge.”

After taking time to recover from his Trunk Sales tour, J. Cole is back with a new blog post. In it, he expressed gratitude for the support for his latest and possibly final album, The Fall-Off.

“This post is just me checking in and saying thank you for all the love on the album,” he wrote. “From the youtube videos I see, to the tik tok videos, ig and twitter posts that make it to me, it’s the best feeling when I see people that feel the same way I do about the music. For real.”

“It’s officially a month after The Fall-Off dropped, and I’m still over here playing it every day religiously as if I’m not the one that’s rapping on it,” he continued, singling out “The Let Out” as his favorite track right now. “’Poor Thang’ and ‘I love her again’ are creeping back up there too,” he added.

After giving fans some time to listen, digest and form their own thoughts on the album, Cole said he’s ready to do a press run.

“Now, I feel like it’s a good time to step out my comfort zone (home) and go and do some interviews,” he wrote. “There’s a lot of platforms out there that I f*** with, both big and small, and I look forward to showing up, showing love while continuing to push this album that I gave so much to.”

He also shared his intention to update the blog more regularly, as well as his excitement to go on tour despite not wanting to be away from his kids for an extended period of time.

Sebastian Bach is apologizing to actress Christina Applegate, who revealed in her new memoir that she dumped Brad Pitt for the Skid Row frontman in 1989 when she was just 17.

In her book, You With the Sad Eyes, Applegate writes that at the MTV VMAs that year she left her date, a not-yet-famous Pitt, for Bach and she and Pitt didn’t talk for years after.

In an interview with Billboard, Bach says he was “very surprised” when Applegate’s revelations hit the news.

“I was a single guy on tour, in a band, and I met a lot of girls and I apologize if I hurt her … if I hurt anybody,” he tells the mag. “When you’re young you get thrown into the whirlwind of rock ‘n’ roll, meeting a lot of people and you better hold on tight. It’s like being on a roller coaster.” He notes, “It was a long time ago. If I hurt anybody, I apologize for it.”

In the same interview Bach talked about his new gig filling in for Dee Snider as frontman of Twisted Sister on select tour dates.

“I am a fan,” he says of the band. “They had the tour booked and (Snider’s) doctors told him he couldn’t do it. They had a choice to either try to get another singer or cancel the whole tour.” He adds, “I just look at it in the same way as when Brian Johnson couldn’t do the AC/DC shows (in 2016) and Axl Rose stepped in, or when Queen wanted to tour and Paul Rodgers came in.”

Referring to his 2024 solo album, Child Within the Man, Bach notes, “[A] band like Twisted Sister 100% makes me feel like a child within the man. That music is very youthful and fun.”

36 Cinema Distribution is launching its new distribution label with the release of the film One Spoon of Chocolate.

Directed, written and produced by RZA, the film stars Shameik Moore as Unique, a veteran and ex-convict who moves to a small town in search of a fresh start, according to a press release. After an altercation with a local gang, he begins to suspect they may be behind the disappearance of his cousin and other young men in the area. As he searches for answers, Unique becomes a target of both the gang and the local sheriff’s office, which may also be tied to the disappearances, pushing him to fight back alongside his closest friends.

Blair Underwood, RJ Cyler, Paris Jackson, Emyri Crutchfield, Michael Harney and Harry Goodwins also star.

One Spoon of Chocolate was more than 13 years in the making, according to the release. It’s a project that reflects RZA’s evolution as a filmmaker while blending action, drama, suspense and deeper themes.

“At its core, RZA’s One Spoon of Chocolate is a story about a young man trying to better his life while everything around him is shaken,” RZA said in a statement. “Our journeys are shaped by the choices we make and how we choose to live with them. The film is both timeless and timely. Get ready for thrills, chills and some bone-cracking action, followed by a spoonful of thought-provoking substance.”

RZA is teaming with Quentin Tarantino to present the film, which will arrive in U.S. theaters in May. Tarantino teased that the film will “drive audiences wild wherever it screens,” adding, “We’ll sell you a whole seat, but you’ll only use the edge of it.”

36 Cinema Distribution says it will focus on the theatrical release of new films while also reviving classic titles through traditional runs and special screenings.

Charlie Puth and his wife, Brooke Puth, are about to become first-time parents — but to only one child, thank you very much.

On his Instagram Story, Charlie posted a screenshot of a Facebook post that purportedly shows him and “Brooke” — a woman who doesn’t actually look anything like her — grinning and holding up two sonograms, one of “Baby A” and one of “Baby B.” The photo has the caption, “Charlie Puth and his wife have received the joyful news that they’re expecting their first set of twins.”

“If you couldn’t tell … this is obviously fake lol,” Charlie captioned the Story.

Charlie and Brooke got married in September 2024. Last year they announced in the video for Charlie’s song “Changes” that they were expecting their first child by showing a quick glimpse of Charlie putting his hand on Brooke’s belly.

Badflower has canceled the remainder of their U.S. tour, citing “an ongoing health issue with the band.”

“We are very sorry to have to do this,” the “Ghost” rockers write in a Facebook post. “Please get a refund at point of purchase and we look forward to coming back soon!”

Frontman Josh Katz has been dealing with vocal issues during the tour, to the point that during a Feb. 27 show in Salt Lake City, he cut the set short and told the crowd he was ending the trek. In an update posted March 2, Katz shared a video from a doctor’s office and clarified that the tour was not canceled.

“The important thing for me, right now, is that mentally I feel supported,” Katz said. “Certainly enough to continue with this tour and continue my career.”

The tour did continue for another week before making the official cancellation announcement. Eight shows are affected.
