Much like Dolly Parton did with “Jolene,” Meghan Patrick is squaring off with the other woman in her new track.
“‘Jessica, Jezebel’ is about the kind of woman who isn’t just a homewrecker, but who makes a hobby out of pursuing other women’s husbands,” Megan says. “It’s meant to be an empowering song for any woman who has encountered a ‘Jessica’ and felt the pain and betrayal caused by, first and foremost, their husband, but also the woman who pursued him, knowing the pain she was causing another woman.”
Meghan co-wrote the song, her first new music since 2024’s Golden Child. The title track is the Canadian singer’s biggest hit so far in the U.S., currently continuing its climb in country’s top 30.

Young Thug returned on Sunday to the Fulton County Courthouse where his RICO trial took place to put on a special show for some of his fans. He performed songs from his new album, Uy Scuti, as well as “Digits,” “Ski” and other hits from his discography.
“This place shaped me — changed my life. … Shout-out to the whole police academy for letting me perform here,” he said. “This is not the place to be on the bad side, life is much more than this. That’s why I wanted to do it here. This isn’t a flex. … This place changed my life forever.”
He continued, “We got rid of our problems and I hope you find a way to get rid of yours. Life is precious, so I just want everybody to be better. Even if it’s worth something, it’s not worth losing people. It’s not worth living that type of life.”
Thug was arrested in 2022 as part of the YSL RICO investigation; he was released in 2024 after taking a plea deal.
He’s since released his new album, Uy Scuti, which features cover art of him in white face.
“‘You want to be the biggest n**** in this motherf****** world, you got to be Eminem. I just put the white album cover out, just talking s***. It’s just all fun s***, though. I ain’t with none of that political s***. We having fun, it’s music, and you shouldn’t take it so serious,” he said on the It’s Up There podcast. “It’s not like we make it out alive, anyway. We all gon’ die, no matter what. You got to choose to be happy and put in the world what you want … and the legacy you want to create for yourself, ’cause that’s what it’s about.”
Morgan Evans is turning the page in his career, signing with a new label and getting ready to release new music.
“Beer Back Home” will arrive Oct. 10 as his first song for Virgin Music Group.
“I’m stoked to partner with Virgin Music Group on this record,” the Aussie native says. “They’ve built a global team that gets Nashville, Europe, Australia, and they get me. The industry’s changing fast, but their model keeps artists in control, especially creatively.”
“I couldn’t be prouder of this new music or more excited to share it with the world alongside the legends at VMG. Let’s go!” he adds.
“Beer Back Home” was recorded in Nashville and is the lead single from a new album due in early 2026.
Morgan plans to perform it for the first time with his band on Feb. 14, when he plays the Howlin’ Country festival in his hometown of Newcastle alongside Lainey Wilson.
You’re also likely to hear 2018’s “Kiss Somebody,” which topped the chart and is his biggest hit so far.
Madonna and Jay Shetty, ‘On Purpose with Jay Shetty’ (Ricardo Gomes)
During her first-ever podcast interview, Madonna revealed that she contemplated taking her own life, but her spiritual practice helped her work through it.
Appearing on Jay Shetty‘s On Purpose podcast, Madonna discusses her study of Kabbalah, which is a form of Jewish mysticism, and how she never could have dealt with certain challenges without it.
“There were moments in my life where … I actually contemplated suicide,” she tells Shetty. “And that probably sounds really weird coming from me, ’cause I’m not emo. … But I was like, ‘I can’t take this pain anymore.'”
Asked what challenge caused her to feel that way, Madonna reveals, “One of the most painful moments in my life where I could, I honestly couldn’t see the forest for the trees, was when I went through a custody battle with my son. … Someone taking, trying to take my child away from me was like, they might as well just kill me.”
That battle took place in 2016, when Madonna’s son Rocco Ritchie, who she shares with ex-husband Guy Ritchie, left her during her Rebel Heart tour and went to live with his father in London. After a lot of legal back-and-forth, the couple resolved the matter privately.
“I was on tour at the time, so I had to go on stage every night,” Madonna recalled. “I would just be lying on the floor of my dressing room sobbing. I really thought it was the end of the world. I couldn’t take it … but thank God I don’t feel that way anymore.”
As for how Kabbalah helped her through it, Madonna explains, “As soon you understand that what’s happening to you is a challenge that you are karmically meant to experience and learn from and evolve to a higher level of consciousness, then you can look at that event, that experience as a lesson and not punishment.”

Snoop Dogg is reprising his role as an NBCUniversal correspondent for the Olympics in February. NBCUniversal reports he will work alongside NBC Olympics host Mike Tirico and “explore northern Italy, from the vibrant streets of Milan to the breathtaking Dolomites, providing his unique perspective to viewers during NBCUniversal’s Winter Olympic primetime coverage.”
Snoop announced his return on Instagram Sunday, sharing a post where he’s captured rocking Team USA gear and looking out at some snowy mountains. He then turns around and says to the camera, “Guess who’s back?” before breaking out to the Olympic theme song.
“I am excited to be back with my main man Mike Tirico for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina,” Snoop says in a press release. “The D O double G will be on the scene, and I am looking forward to celebrating with the athletes and their families. The Olympics is the biggest stage in the world and, as everyone knows, I’m all about sports, bringing people together, and unifying while bringing the fun. I’ll be bringing my puffy jackets, snow pants, goggles, skates (and will definitely be iced out).”
Snoop’s return as correspondent for the Olympics follows his debut in Paris in summer 2024, during which he carried the Olympic torch and watched equestrian with Martha Stewart, among other things.
The 2026 Winter Games will take place in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy; the opening ceremony starts Feb. 6 and airs on NBC and Peacock.

REO Speedwagon members Kevin Cronin, Bruce Hall, Neal Doughty and Alan Gratzer reunited Saturday to join the University of Illinois band, the Marching Illini, for a performance during halftime of the school’s homecoming game.
The group joined the band on the field for three songs, “Riding the Storm out,” “Roll With the Changes” and “157 Riverside Avenue,” the latter being a song from their 1971 self-titled first album.
REO Speedwagon formed in 1966 after Neal and Alan met at the school; Cronin gave the university a shout-out from the field.
“I wanna thank the people of Illinois, the city of Champaign-Urbana and this great university for providing a springboard for our music that launched us on a mind blowing musical experience,” Cronin told the stadium crowd.
In September 2024, REO Speedwagon announced they were going to cease touring as of January 2025. The halftime show was the first reunion of Cronin and his bandmates since they stopped touring.
“Visiting Champaign, IL always brings back great memories. It’s a very special place, the birthplace of REO Speedwagon,” Cronin wrote on Instagram. “We have the greatest fans in the world. The love and support I feel from you all is the fuel that keeps me rocking.”

Will the Oasis reunion continue into 2026?
Upon wrapping up the last of seven concerts at London’s Wembley Stadium on Sunday, Liam Gallagher declared, “See you next year.”
Oasis launched their reunion tour in July, marking the first time Liam and his formerly estranged brother Noel Gallagher have shared the live stage in 16 years. The outing included shows at three U.S. stadiums: Chicago’s Soldier Field, MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles.
Before the calendar flips to 2026, Oasis still has a run of 2025 dates to play in Asia, Australia and South America.
Meanwhile, it appears that the Oasis reunion might inspire another band to get back together: the Spice Girls. Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice attended Sunday’s Wembley show and shared a photo while tagging the other four Spice Girls in an Instagram Story.
