Guns N’ Roses performed the live debut of their cover of The Runaways song “Black Leather” during a show in Brazil over the weekend.
The rendition, which featured bassist Duff McKagan on lead vocals, comes 33 years after GN’R originally released “Black Leather” for their 1993 covers album, “The Spaghetti Incident?”
“Black Leather” was originally written by Steve Jones and Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols, before The Runaways recorded the song for their 1978 album, And Now… The Runaways.
“The Spaghetti Incident?” marked the final Guns N’ Roses album to feature McKagan and Slash, who left the band in 1997 and 1996, respectively. They later reunited with Axl Rose in 2016, and GN’R has since put out a number of one-off singles, including 2025’s “Nothin'” and “Atlas.”
Guns N’ Roses will play two more shows in Brazil before returning to the U.S. for a show in Hollywood, Florida, on April 30. They’ll launch a full U.S. stadium tour in July.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 star is a force to be reckoned with, promoting five films this year. Hathaway, 43, said she’s not slowing down and is embracing having fun in her career, instead of stressing over it.
Hathaway said she also credits her husband, producer and actor Adam Shulman, for helping to guide her through this extraordinary year she’s having, calling him “a dream partner.”
Twenty years since the first The Devil Wears Prada movie was released, the cast — which also includes Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci and Meryl Streep — is reuniting for a sequel, something Hathaway said she has dreamed about revisiting.
Hathaway also opened up to People about getting to perform alongside the legendary Streep again, who plays Miranda Priestly in the series.
“Just to get to see an artist like her, I don’t talk about how much I revere her to her, but I do,” said Hathaway. “Someone whom I admire, someone who does it better than anybody, somebody who defines how it’s done, somebody who is just living greatness. And never rests on that laurel but is always pushing herself to expand as an artist.”
The Devil Wears Prada 2 will be released in theaters May 1, and People magazine’s “World’s Most Beautiful” issue will be out April 24.
20th Century Studios is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News and Good Morning America.

Coachella weekend two was full of guest stars, including the Queen of Pop, Madonna, who made a surprise appearance during Sabrina Carpenter’s set on Saturday night. Sabrina took to her Instagram Sunday to reflect on the moment.
“Madonna ..…I’ve got something i wanna talk about!” she wrote. “thank you for coming out, bringing your love, and gracing the audience with everything you are + astrology knowledge + the greatest songs of all time.”
Sabrina was referring Madonna’s seemingly random tangent during the set, when she told the audience that the alignment of the planets with the moon in Taurus indicates we need to “avoid confrontations.”
She tied it all together by noting how music brings people together, then sang acapella, “Can we get together,” from her 2005 track “Get Together.”
Sabrina continued, “Last night was straight out of a dream. spending so much time laughing with you and then above all sharing the stage with you is a privilege I’ll never forget. x”
Sabrina and Madonna sang Madonna’s hits “Vogue” and “Like a Prayer,” as well as a yet-to-be-released song, possibly titled “Bring Your Love,” which may appear on Madonna’s upcoming album Confessions II.
In addition, Sabrina thanked her other special guests: Terry Crews, who appeared on stage for a comic interlude, and Geena Davis along with her Girl Meets World co-star Corey Fogelmanis, who appeared in a prerecorded segment.
“This show and everyone involved is so beyond special to me,” she concluded. “Sabrinawood forever!”

The birth marks a meaningful milestone for both families, as Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence now share a grandchild.
When asked if he had any advice for the new parents, Eddie Murphy kept it candid.

As of now, the couple has not publicly announced their daughter’s birth.

(NEW YORK) — Stocks dipped and oil prices rose in early trading on Monday as tensions mounted in the Strait of Hormuz, putting pressure on the ceasefire between the U.S and Iran a day before it’s set to expire.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 25 points, or 0.07%, while the S&P 500 dropped 0.1%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq declined 0.1%.
U.S. Marines seized an Iran-flagged container ship in the Gulf of Oman on Sunday, according to CENTOM, just a day after two Indian ships came under fire in the Strait of Hormuz.
A potential second round of peace talks between the U.S. and Iran remained in doubt on Monday. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Monday that Iran has not yet made any decision regarding additional talks.
West Texas Intermediate futures, the benchmark index for U.S. oil prices, climbed more than 4% on Monday, registering at about $87 a barrel.
The escalating tensions appeared to reverse a brief thaw on Friday, when a senior Iranian official declared the strait “completely open” for tanker traffic. Within minutes, President Donald Trump celebrated the announcement as a major breakthrough.
The glimmer of relief for the critical waterway sent stock prices soaring and oil prices plummeting on Friday.

(NEW YORK) — More than two weeks after American Lynette Hooker went overboard and disappeared in the Bahamas, her daughter is speaking out to ABC News.
“It still feels surreal,” Karli Aylesworth said. “… This feels like something you just watch in a movie, but it’s my life.”
Aylesworth’s mother, Lynette Hooker, has been missing since the evening of April 4 when Aylesworth’s stepfather, Brian Hooker, said she went overboard. The couple had departed Hope Town for their yacht, Soulmate, in Elbow Cay, when bad weather caused her to fall off their dinghy, Brian Hooker told authorities.
Brian Hooker, 58, was arrested on April 8 and questioned by police. He was released on April 13 without charges.
Brian Hooker told ABC News on April 14 that he was staying in the Bahamas with a “sole focus” of finding his wife, “no matter how likely or unlikely that is.”
But Brian Hooker then left the Bahamas, his attorney said on April 15, noting that his mother is not well.
Aylesworth and her boyfriend said they doubted Brian Hooker’s story from the beginning and are now left with more questions than answers.
“I don’t understand how she drowned or got floated away,” Aylesworth said. “It just made me be more, ‘Why didn’t he do this? Why didn’t you do that? Why did that happen?'”
Aylesworth said she met with the Coast Guard and the Bahamian authorities, who allowed her to visit the sailboat her mother and stepfather called home.
“I went and got some of her belongings, like a headband. I got her ‘L’ necklace that she used to always wear. I got a picture frame I made for her, something that my grandma sewed for her,” she said.
“It was really hard because it was almost eerie, because I felt like she was going to, like, come out of the corner or something,” she said. “… Just knowing that she’ll never, I don’t know, it’s just hit me like a freight train that she’s not there.”
Christopher Meloni is bidding farewell to his character Elliot Stabler, the Law & Order detective that he has been playing since 1999.

Thank you. You helped give me a career that I never dreamed of, nearly 17 odd years,” Meloni said in the video …

(NEW YORK) — Don’t put away those winter coats just yet.
Summer-like temperatures will give way to chilly weather across the Northeast beginning on Monday as residents in the Midwest and Plains clean up after a spell of severe weather that spawned multiple tornadoes.
Morning temperatures are forecast to be near 40 degrees along the I-95 corridor from Washington, D.C., to New York Monday and into Tuesday, just days after 90-degree weather enveloped much of the East.
It may be even colder from Chicago to Boston, where morning temperatures are expected to dip into the mid-30s on Tuesday, with some morning frost possible.
In parts of the Midwest from Minneapolis to Detroit, temperatures could fall to below freezing.
Just days after temperatures soared into the 90s, setting daily high temperature records in Washington, D.C., New York and Philadelphia, the weather is expected to turn significantly cooler to start the workweek.
Some places in the Northeast could also approach record low temperatures. Come Tuesday morning, places like Trenton, N.J., Scranton, Pa., Syracuse, N.Y., and Manchester, N.H., will likely see temperatures fall to below freezing and could break or tie their respective record low temperatures for the day.
The cold snap will be short-lived, as temperatures return to a more spring-like feel by Wednesday across the East, with summer-like weather returning by Thursday and Friday.
Meanwhile, the Midwest and Plains were cleaning up from days of severe weather that saw numerous tornadoes develop, some causing damage across Minnesota and Michigan.
The National Weather Service has preliminarily confirmed 50 tornadoes between April 12 and April 17 across 12 states, most of them in Illinois and Wisconsin. However, tornadoes were also confirmed during that time frame as far west as California and as far east as Vermont, according to the NWS.
At least 15 tornadoes were confirmed by the NWS in Illinois, 10 in Wisconsin, seven in Oklahoma and five in both Missouri and Iowa. Michigan and Kansas both had two tornadoes confirmed by the NWS.
The cold front that caused the severe weather late last week is continuing to move east into the Northeast on Sunday, bringing rain and even high-elevation snow showers to parts of the region before pushing off the coast later in the day.
