Rihanna‘s new role as mother hasn’t stopped her grind. The singer, who is preparing her upcoming halftime show at the Super Bowl, recently dropped the teaser for the performance and made an appearance at the Golden Globes this week. But that’s not all she has in store. In a post shared to social media Thursday, she announced her Valentine’s Day-inspired Savage X Fenty lingerie line.
The Breakin’ Hearts collection consists of red-colored bras and briefs, a set with red-lip prints and a lot of mesh fabrics, among other things. Rih appears to model the Lovestruck Lace Crotchless Catsuit in her ad for the new line.
Tory Lanez‘s father, Sonstar Peterson, was seemingly upset after his son was found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion, but neither he nor Tory hold a grudge against the rapper. In a videoshared to his Instagram, he said that they forgave Meg “a long time ago.”
“Both my son, myself and others of our family have long decided that we are not going to hold any animosity against Megan Pete aka Megan Thee Stallion. We forgave that girl a long time ago. A long time ago,” he said.
Sonstar talked about the importance of excusing someone and letting things go. “Principle of forgiveness is important in order to cleanse one’s heart and soul,” he said. “Hatred, resentment, bitterness — those things can actually diseases of the bones, it has been proven. And it can cause sickness in your body because you’re holding onto something that is negative against the real life force in your life.”
Though they’ve forgiven Megan, Sonstar said that he and Tory will not back down from “the machine” in fighting for justice.
Tory was convicted of three felony assaults in the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. His father made headlines for his rant about “the worst miscarriage of justice that this world has ever seen.”
Sonstar also called out Meg’s attorney Alex Spiro, Roc Nation COO Desiree Perez, Roc Nation and Jay-Z.
“You who say you rose from the gutter, but you have traded and bartered the souls of young men — and you’re still doing it,” he said at the time.
Tory’s sentencing date has been been pushed back from January 27 to February 28.

After weeks of speculation about Damson Idris and Lori Harvey‘s dating status, the actor shared a photo that many believe makes them Instagram official.
The image sees Idris planting a kiss on Lori’s cheek, with his arms wrapped around her. “Happy Birthday Nunu,” he wrote alongside the photo. He shared another pic of Lori holding up wads of cash to both of her ears; he captioned it, “The Plug.”
The Damson and Lori dating rumors sparked after a few public hangouts, including the times they were spotted together on a dinner date and at a friend’s birthday party.
When Harvey announced her Essence cover, he shared it on his Story alongside several fire emojis. In the issue, she said she’s “being a little selfish right now” after years of the media attaching her “to something or someone.” She also made it clear she knows exactly what she’s looking for in a man.
“My experience has taught me that I need somebody who respects me — somebody who understands and respects my standards and my boundaries and is a supportive, God-fearing man, family-oriented, and makes me feel at peace,” Harvey said. “I’m not compromising my peace and happiness for anything or anybody.”
Of Monsters and Men vocalist Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir has released her debut solo single, “Godzilla.”
“The concept of the song was inspired by the early Godzilla classics,” Nanna explains. “I somehow resonated and felt empathetic with this big monstrous thing on the screen.”
“I felt that Godzilla, while being so destructive, ultimately means well and simply wants to exist but finds itself in a world in which it doesn’t belong,” she continues. “It’s about feeling out of place, like a villain in a story, yet having someone rooting for you when you’ve made a big mess.”
You can listen to “Godzilla” now via digital outlets and watch its accompanying video streaming on YouTube.
Of Monsters and Men’s most recent album is 2019’s Fever Dream. They released a new single called “This Happiness” last April.

As previously reported, Neal Schon recently indicated that Journey’s original keyboardist, Gregg Rolie,would be turning up at the band’s upcoming 50th anniversary tour. But his revelation may have been premature. In a post to their joint Facebook page, Neal’s wife, Michaele, shared that not everyone in the band is on board with Gregg’s return.
The post started off by noting how Jeff Beck’s death should make people realize how precious life is — then she brought up the tour.
“TWO BAND MEMBERS of the Journey current LINE UP ARE ‘adamant’ NO against Gregg Rolie to return,” she writes. “Life is so precious Neal and Gregg agree. Who wants to have that feeling, truly sad.” She added, “Everyone LOVES you Gregg ROLIE and respects who you are and ALL You have been and are to Journey,” noting, “Neal Schön and Gregg ROLIE will be somewhere Together at least one time this Year in Honor of what they began in 1972.”
The post comes amid major turmoil in the band, particularly between Schon and his bandmate Jonathan Cain. Cain recently made it known that he will be on the Journey tour, sharing a post from a ski trip and noting he was enjoying some time on the slopes before “hitting the road with Journey.”
The Journey 50th anniversary tour is set to kick off February 4 in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

The clip, streaming now on YouTube, finds the Italian rockers performing behind a glass wall, much to the curiosity of an eclectic gathering of onlookers.

Rage Against the Machine‘s Tom Morello, who guests on “Gossip,” also makes a cameo in the video.
“Gossip” will appear on Måneskin’s upcoming album, Rush!, due out January 20. The record also includes the singles “Supermodel” and “The Loneliest.”

The pair just released a new version of Callista’s track “Wish You Wouldn’t,” which is featured on the deluxe edition of her debut album, Real To Me: The Way I Feel.
“Having Jimmie Allen on ‘Wish You Wouldn’t’ is a literal dream come true,” Callista shares. “He was the only person I wanted for that song—he brings such an effortlessly smooth charm to the song. I’m still ecstatic he said ‘yes’!”
Jimmie adds, “I love diving into all types of projects and experimenting with different artists so I was honored Callista asked me to jump on this song—I’m grateful to be a part of her journey. She is an incredible talent and I loved getting to play with the variation between the fast and slow vocals—it’s a fun song to sing.”
