New year, better Fivio Foreign. At least, that’s what the rapper is aiming for.

He announced on New Year’s Eve that he’ll soon be checking himself into a rehabilitation center. 

“I wanna let y’all know, with the help of my team, my wife, my family, my probation officer, and the people I’ve been talking to: I’m admitting myself into a rehab center in the next couple of days, for like a week or two,” Fivio said in an Instagram video, where he’s seated at a table alongside his wife and their son.

“I had to pay $10,000 to get into it. You know what I’m saying? I just feel like I’m at a point where, you know, I want to change, I wanna live, and I wanna stop making a lot of dumb decisions and a lot of dumb mistakes that I’ve been making,” Fivio said of his decision.

He then asked his fans for their support as he embarks on what he described as a serious journey, adding, “I got my beautiful lifestyle and I don’t want to lose that for nothing.”

It’s not clear what specifically Fivio will be addressing while in treatment.

While Jonas Brothers went nonstop in 2025, Nick Jonas doesn’t seem to be slowing down in 2026.

After ringing in the New Year with a JoBros show in Hollywood, Florida, streamed live on Samsung TV Plus, Nick has released his new single, “Gut Punch,” from his forthcoming album, Sunday Best.

In the song, Nick confronts self-doubt, singing, “Hit me like a gut punch/ I hurt my own feelings/How did I get so good at being mean to myself … Damn, I really hate the way I talk to myself.”

“I tend to be hypercritical of myself, not typically about my appearance or getting older, but I was wondering, ‘Am I doing everything to be the best version of myself? Am I a present and thoughtful husband? Am I a good father?’” Nick says in a statement.

“As time goes by, the stress and complications of life will weigh on you,” he adds. “It’s important to remember there was once a version of you who was carefree and loved the world.”

Nick explained on Instagram that he chose to release “Gut Punch” on New Year’s Day because he felt people would relate to its message. “There’s a lot of pressure to be the perfect version of yourself at the start of the year,” he wrote. “And that’s just not possible and that’s okay.”

Sunday Best will be out on Feb. 6.

Nick’s been playing “Gut Punch” live on the Jonas Brothers’ tour since November, including at the New Year’s Eve show. That concert featured celebrity video appearances from Eli Manning, Jimmy Fallon, Michael Bublé, Paul Rudd, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey and more, along with highlights from guest performers on tour, such as Alex Warren and Jordin Sparks.

Jelly Roll is opening up about shedding 275 pounds and the motivation behind his major weight loss.

The “Beautifully Broken” singer-songwriter is the latest cover star of Men’s Health, fulfilling the dream he shared back in December 2024. He also stars in a new documentary short from Men’s Health, titled A Year for a Life.

“I was killing myself. Literally,” Jelly Roll says. “I mean, I was eating myself to absolute death.”

Men’s Health editorial director Richard Dorment told ABC News the team wanted to find out why Jelly Roll was so determined to make a significant change.

“We really wanted to get to the root of what was driving this desire for transformation,” Dorment said. “So once we started to have that conversation, we really began to understand his why, which was his relationship with food and what he came to think of as a food addiction.”

Jelly Roll doesn’t hold back about his struggles, fears and vulnerabilities in the short film, which follows him for a year as he works toward his transformation.

“Here I was going into my 40s at 500 and some pounds,” Jelly Roll said. “I think I was just trying to find my way into whatever I could, and I think what I was doing was, I felt so misunderstood that I was closet-eating the whole time.”

The film also shows Jelly Roll, now 41, working out, from boxing and doing push-ups to running stairs at arenas.

“I wish I could bottle what I’m feeling right now up and give it to everybody who’s struggling out there,” Jelly Roll says in the trailer. “It is special, it’s different, and it really came through food and exercise. It came through just being willing to pound the pavement and get my heart rate up.”

Wedding bells chimed for Este Haim on New Year’s Eve.

The eldest of the HAIM sisters got married to tech entrepreneur Jonathan Levin on Dec. 31, according to Vogue, which documented her final dress fitting ahead of the ceremony.

“I’ve been looking forward to this day since I was five,” Este told Vogue of her wedding. “When I was five, I had this vision of me, coming down a spiral staircase, there’s a scene in Cinderella that probably is what I was mimicking, but I would descend in this giant ballroom gown, and then my fiancé, [my] husband, would be at the bottom and grab my hand.”

According to photos published by People, wedding guests included well-known HAIM pal Taylor Swift, as well as Fleetwood Mac icon Stevie Nicks.

ABC Audio has reached out to reps for HAIM for confirmation.

Taylor Swift recently told Stephen Colbert that she was “very lucky” to have two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Stevie Nicks “in my life in a way that affects me positively constantly.” That friendship was on full display on New Year’s Eve, when both women attended the wedding of a mutual friend.

People shared photos of Taylor and Stevie walking and talking together at the wedding of HAIM‘s Este Haim, who wed tech entrepreneur Jonathan Levin on New Year’s Eve in California. Taylor wore a gold sequin gown paired with a tan shawl and had her hair up, while Stevie opted for an all-black look, as usual.

Taylor and the HAIM sisters have been friendly for a long time. They’ve collaborated on the songs “No Body, No Crime” and “Gasoline,” and HAIM also opened for Taylor on the Eras Tour. In 2024, Este praised their friendship, saying, “[Taylor]’s the best and she deserves every accolade that she’s ever had. She’s a true genius and she’s also like the best friend and the best hang.”

As for why Stevie was there, she’s been a longtime friend and a mentor to the HAIM sisters, much as she has been to Taylor.

While appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Taylor said of Stevie, “Being able to talk to her and have a phone call with her and hear what she’s been through, she paved the way for me and any other artist that get to do this on this level. So I feel very lucky that she’s lended [sic] her very magical, wonderful, wise approach to life to me.”

Este’s ceremony marks the second wedding Taylor has attended for a friend since her own engagement, following Selena Gomez’s. Perhaps, she’s been taking notes for her future wedding to Travis Kelce.

Pink shared a New Year’s message to fans from the hospital this week.

In an Instagram post Wednesday, the singer shared a photo of herself wearing a hospital gown and smiling from a hospital bed, revealing she recently underwent a procedure where she had two discs in her neck replaced.

“I end the year giving reverence to, paying attention to, and to fixing my body. It may not be a fancy Face lift, but I am getting two new shiny discs in my neck,” Pink wrote in part in the accompanying caption.

“A new scar, a new reminder, that I appreciate this vessel that I have and use it for all it’s worth. Rock ‘n’ roll is a contact sport.”

Despite having to ring in the new year in the hospital, Pink focused on positivity in her lengthy message and highlighted the “beauty” she saw amid a less-than-perfect 2025.

“I want to say Happy New Year’s to everyone … I am leaving behind all of my hurt in 2025,” she wrote. “This year was a doozy for all of us and it ran the spectrum from absolutely devastating to mildly annoying. In amongst all of that, there was so much beauty.”

She concluded her message by saying that for 2026, she plans to “choose joy,” before wrapping up her New Year’s message by sharing her support for fans and followers.

“I know that 2026 is going to be better because that is the choice that I have made. I hope and pray every person can make that wish, have that choice. I know that isn’t a reality for some,” Pink wrote.

“I will work this year to help preserve the choices of others to make for themselves and their families and this very pursuit of happiness. Let’s do better for ourselves and for others.”

When a new year rolls around, Dustin Lynch has two ongoing traditions: He’s got a standing date with Luke Bryan and his fans in Mexico, and he’ll be traversing the globe with some old friends.

“We’ve got our bull’s-eye set on Argentina,” he says of his 2026 plans. “Each year we do a trip, me and a couple college buddies, to a new country we’ve never been to, and Argentina is on that list.”

“It’s easy for me because it’s kind of in the time zone of normal life here in the States,” he adds. “So we’ll go down there and usually do a week and pop around.”

Over the years, what began as pure fun has morphed into something deeper.

“It’s a productive trip,” Dustin tells ABC Audio. “It started out as kind of a more of a party trip. And as we’ve grown up, it’s become more of a goal-setting trip for the year. So we go down there and kind of do some exploring and do some strenuous stuff, test ourselves physically, and then set goals for the year.”  

Dustin’s due in Cancun on Jan. 15 to fulfill his annual duties as “mayor” of Crash My Playa, as his latest hit, “Easy to Love,” makes its way up the country chart.
