Don’t go chasing rumors about Chilli, as she is stepping in to set the record straight. Following allegations that she donated to Trump-related organizations and shared a conspiracy video about Michelle Obama, Chilli took to social media to address the matter.

“I have the utmost respect and admiration for Michelle Obama and I would never say or do anything that is disrespectful to her or any woman,” Chilli said of the right-wing conspiracy video that alleged Obama wasn’t a biological woman. Chilli claimed she only learned the post went up after receiving several phone calls.

“I’m not very computer savvy, so I’m looking for this repost button, and I see that all of these buttons are very, very close to each other, and clearly I was scrolling, and my thumb hit the repost button,” she explained.

Of the allegations that she made donations to organizations that align with Trump in 2024, Chilli said, “These are the things that support the veterans. I’ve always supported them, not just now, for years. This is not something new.”

She then clarified that she isn’t a Trump supporter. “This isn’t MAGA, I WANT TO BE CLEAR: I am not MAGA and do not support any of the many policies that are causing great harm to the American people,” she wrote. “I made a mistake too many make: I did not read the fine print.”

She continued, “I have learned a valuable lesson and ask for grace as I navigate this.”

Federal Election Commission records show that Chilli, born Rozonda Thomas, donated to the Trump National Committee JFC, INC.; WinRed, which raises funds for the Republican Party; and the Trump-associated Never Surrender, Inc., in 2024.

She is set to hit the road with her group TLC, En Vogue and Salt-N-Pepa in August.

Lady Gaga hit the big 4-0 on Saturday, but instead of a big blowout, she spent her special day chilling with her fiancé, Michael Polansky.

Gaga posted a TikTok video of herself holding up a paper “40” decoration and kissing into the camera, while the song “Shy Girl” by the synth-pop duo Haute & Freddy played. “Haute & Freddy, Robyn, and Raye filled my birthday with their beautiful new albums,” Gaga wrote in the caption.

She was referring to the fact that the day before her birthday, all three of those acts released new projects. “Dancing on My Own” singer Robyn released Sexistential, while RAYE dropped This Music May Contain Hope.

Gaga continued, “Had the best time listening and relaxing with Michael as we wind down The Mayhem Ball. Thank you, Michael for making my birthday so so special, I love you. May the birthday month begin.”

“Thank you monsters for all your beyond kind messages,” she ended the caption. “Growing up w you is something I will always cherish.”

Gaga is set to wrap up The Mayhem Ball, which started last July, with an April 13 show at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Led Zeppelin celebrated the 50th anniversary of their iconic album Physical Graffiti in 2025, and now guitarist Jimmy Page is giving fans some insight into how one of the songs on the album came to be.

The rocker just released an early home demo of an instrumental piece that would eventually become the track “Ten Years Gone.”

“As a footnote to Physical Graffiti, I thought you might like to hear the original home demo, recorded in my studio at Plumpton Place of a piece of music that was going to surface as Ten Years Gone,” Page wrote on Instagram. “I presented this rough mix to the band at Headley Grange in order to do this for real. Robert Plant came up with some lyrics for my music that were extraordinary and then we arrive at the song Ten Years Gone.”

Physical Graffiti, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band’s sixth studio album, was released on Feb. 24, 1975. It was a double album and the band’s first to be released under their own label, Swan Song Records.

The album was a critical and commercial hit for the band. It spent six weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, and also hit #1 in the U.K. and Canada. It was the first album to go Platinum from preorders alone and has since been certified 16-times Platinum in the U.S.

The trailer for the documentary thriller film #SKYKING has arrived.

This new documentary from ABC News Studios tells the story of Richard “Beebo” Russell, a 28-year-old Horizon Air ground service agent who stole a $33 million plane and embarked on a 70-minute long flight.

Emmy winner Patricia E. Gillespie directed the film, which, along with telling the story of Russell, also offers a look into the U.S. mental health crisis.

This documentary also marks the first time many members of Russell’s family have spoken publicly about his story. It includes never-before-heard air traffic control audio, as well as an interview with the now-retired ATC supervisor who managed the situation on the 2018 day that the incident occurred.

The trailer finds interviewees wondering how Russell was able to get the vehicle into the air all by himself despite never having flown an airplane before.

“I play video games, so, you know, I know what I’m doing a little bit,” Russell said in air-traffic control audio used in the trailer.

#SKYKING premieres on Hulu April 14.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Hulu.

Harry Styles was announced in February as the curator of this summer’s Meltdown Festival, a music event taking place in London in connection with the 75th anniversary of the city’s arts complex, the South Bank Centre. Now, the Centre has tapped another major British pop star to curate another event as part of the celebration.

Dua Lipa will curate this year’s London Literature Festival, which runs from Oct. 21 to Nov. 1. Dua founded her Service95 Book Club, an offshoot of her Service95 newsletter, in 2023 and since then has interviewed multiple authors about bestsellers, classics and more.

Dua says in a statement, “Reading has anchored me through every chapter of my life – from being the new kid at school in a new country to finding quiet refuge on tour. Curating the Southbank Centre’s London Literature Festival is a dream come true.”

She adds, “I can’t wait to dive into the imaginations of some of my favourite authors in one of London’s most iconic cultural spaces.”

Dua will be on hand for a “takeover” of the Royal Festival Hall at the South Bank Centre on Oct. 24 and 25, and she’s also creating a series of events across the festival with her book club team.

A book played an important role in Dua’s love life. When she and her now-fiancé Callum Turner met at a friend’s birthday party, they connected over the fact that were they reading the same book — Trust by Hernán Díaz — and had both just finished the first chapter. “I said, ‘So we’re on the same page,’” Callum told the Sunday Times of their meet-cute.

Just how powerful is Carly Pearce’s new radio single, “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay”?

Check out a new acoustic performance on her socials, and you’re likely to have an opinion. In the clip, Carly sings the chorus of the song alone, accompanied by only an acoustic guitar and a violin while sitting on a sofa. 

“Riley, where you at?” she captions the post, acknowledging her duet partner isn’t present. 

Meanwhile, Riley’s just locked in his eighth top-10 hit on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart with “Change My Mind.” His three most recent releases made it to #1: “Worst Way,” “Don’t Mind If I Do” and “You Look Like You Love Me.” 

Of course, the latter two both feature Ella Langley, a reminder that Riley has a pretty good track record with duets.

Don Toliver, CeeLo Green, Peso Pluma and Andre Troutman are also featured on the project.

Toosii may go from having your “Favorite Song” to being your favorite football player. He is officially listed on the 2026 roster of Louisiana State University’s Tigers football program. According to the website, the rapper, born Nau’Jour Grainger, is a freshman wide receiver wearing jersey #89.

Ticketek is issuing refunds to those who attended the Wu-Tang Clan Final Chamber tour stops in Melbourne and Sydney. The show, part of Wu’s last tour featuring all of Wu’s members, was missing Method Man, Raekwon, Cappadonna and Young Dirty Bastard. “We want to make fans aware that due to unforeseen circumstances, a couple of members will be unable to join the remaining tour dates in Melbourne and Sydney,” the ticketing platform said in a statement ahead of the shows, according to Billboard. Wu had previously announced Meth would not be performing, but made no mention of the other members.

Trump says US talking to ‘new’ and ‘more reasonable’ Iranian regime, Rubio declines to say who

(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump on Monday said the U.S. is engaged in serious talks with a “new” and “more reasonable” regime in Iran as the war enters its fifth week.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during an appearance on “Good Morning America,” declined to say who exactly the U.S. is negotiating with.

“Well, I’m not going to disclose to you who those people are, because it probably would get them in trouble with some other groups of people inside of Iran. Look, there’s some fractures going on there internally,” Rubio said.

“And if there are new people now in charge who have a more reasonable vision of the future, that would be good news for us, for them, for the entire world,” the secretary continued. “But we also have to be prepared for the possibility, maybe even the probability that that is not the case.”

When pushed for more clarity, Rubio said, “You have people there that are saying some of the right things privately.”

“But at the end of the day, we have to see if these people end up being the ones in charge, seeing if they’re the ones that have the power to deliver. We’re going to test it. We are hopeful that’s the case,” he went on. “There are clearly people there talking to us in ways that previous people in charge in Iran have not spoken to us in the past.”

Iranian officials have denied any direct talks with the U.S., saying that messages have been passed through intermediaries. Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, said Monday, “We have not had any negotiations with America.”

The U.S. presented Iran with a 15-point framework for a peace deal by way of Pakistan last week. Baqaei commented on the U.S. proposal during a press conference Monday.

“The information that has been conveyed to us [from the US], regardless of what name you want to give it, as 15 articles or whatever you call it, involved a large number of requests that are excessive, unrealistic, and illogical,” Baqaei said.

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said on Sunday that the country would host talks between the U.S. and Iran “in the coming days.” There has not been confirmation from either Iran or the U.S. on when exactly these talks would take place or who will be involved for either side.

Trump on Sunday told reporters he could “see a deal” being made with Iran soon, though “it’s possible we won’t.”

The president suggested talks were moving in a positive direction because Iran allowed 20 oil tankers to pass through the critical Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked to international shipping traffic after the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on the country last month.

Trump on Monday continued to tout progress but also threatened major U.S. attacks on Tehran’s energy infrastructure and more if a diplomatic off-ramp isn’t reached.

“The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran,” he wrote in a post to his social media platform.

“Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately ‘Open for Business,’ we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet ‘touched,'” the president posted.

Last week, Trump extended the deadline for Iran to reopen the strait twice. Trump said the U.S. would continue a pause on energy site attacks until next Monday, April 6.

Trump has not ruled out using ground troops in Iran. Experts say troops could be used to seize Iran’s nuclear material or Kharg Island, the country’s primary oil export hub.

“I just have lots of alternatives,” Trump said on Sunday.

More U.S. service members have arrived in the Middle East, including roughly 3,500 sailors and Marines with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit.

Trump told the Financial Times on Sunday that he wants the U.S. to “take the oil in Iran.”

“Maybe we take Kharg Island, maybe we don’t. We have a lot of options,” Trump told the news outlet.

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos pressed Rubio on Monday about how the president would go about taking Kharg Island and whether it would require American troops on the ground.

Rubio was noncommittal, but said again that Iran’s threats about controlling the Strait of Hormuz in perpetuity needed to be addressed. 

“That’s not going to be allowed to happen. And the president has a number of options available to him, if he so chooses, to prevent that from happening,” Rubio said.

“There is a way forward here. We are going to achieve our objectives in a matter of weeks, not months.”
