Cyndi Lauper‘s wardrobe is one of the most unique in pop music, and now a select group of shoppers have a chance to own a piece of it.
Cyndi is holding a Closet Clean Out in New York’s Lower East Side on Jan. 20 and 21. According to her Instagram, shoppers will find “a treasure trove of designer gems, stage and street wear, and many new or unworn pieces pulled straight from Cyndi’s closet.” Net proceeds will go to Cyndi’s charity, the Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights Fund at the Tides Foundation.
Tickets to both VIP shopping sessions, which provide first crack at the goodies, are sold out.
If you’d like a Cyndi Lauper experience in a much warmer climate, she’s performing June 20 at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Tickets are on sale now at atlantislive.com.
And in between these events, starting April 24 Cyndi will be headlining her first residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

Slipknot percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan has shared an update on the progress of new material from the masked metallers.
“We’re doing the biggest thing we can do right now, which is taking a much-needed break,” Crahan tells NME. “We’re taking some real human time.”
Slipknot’s most recent album is 2022’s The End, So Far. In addition to touring behind that record, they hit the road while celebrating the 25th anniversary of their 1999 self-titled debut album.
“Everybody is writing all the time, but we have not got into a place to work on what’s been written,” Crahan says, though the band members do have “tentative” plans to link up in the near future.
“It feels very positive and everyone is looking forward to getting back at it,” Crahan says.
YoungBoy Never Broke Again has delivered a new album to his fans, dropping Slime Cry on streaming services Friday. It’s comprised of 30 songs, including “Teary Eyes” featuring Burna Boy and “Devil Go Away” with Jelly Roll.
The videos for songs “Creep Up On Ya,” “Switches,” “For You,” “Resume” and “Baby Boo,” which has an accompanying challenge on TikTok, can now be streamed on YouTube.
The album’s release coincides with the news that NBA YoungBoy has earned 126 RIAA-certified titles, officially making him the most certified rapper of all time.
In addition, a concert film about his life and career is in the works. It will be produced by NBA’s 38 Films and Foundation Media Partners and directed by Nico Ballesteros, who recently helmed the Kanye West documentary In Whose Name? The film will follow six years of YoungBoy’s life, exploring “both the scale of YoungBoy’s cultural impact and the personal realities of life on the road at the highest level,” according to Variety.
“NBA YoungBoy is not just an artist — he’s a cultural force,” Patrick Hughes, CEO of Foundation Media Partners, said in a statement, as per Variety. “Through Nico’s vision, this film captures that energy honestly and cinematically, while giving audiences a real window into who he is beyond the stage.”
NBA YoungBoy is set to headline the final night of the only Rolling Loud festival taking place in the U.S. this year. He’ll be performing on May 10 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.

(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump on Friday said he is considering imposing tariffs on countries that don’t support his efforts to acquire Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.
“I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security,” Trump said at an unrelated event on rural health care at the White House.
His comments leave many questions about what it would mean with recent U.S. trade agreements struck with European allies, particularly those with the United Kingdom and European Union.
Trump’s tariff threat comes after European nations have voiced objections to Trump’s repeated messaging about taking over Greenland, either by buying the island territory or by using military force.
In a show of support for Greenland, French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday that a group of French troops were on the ground there to take part in military exercises with Danish forces and those from other NATO countries, including Germany, Norway, and Sweden.
Macron’s announcement came a day after top officials from Greenland and Denmark, following meeting with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the White House, said “fundamental disagreements” remained with the Trump administration on the issue.
“It’s clear that the president has this wish of conquering over Greenland,” Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen told reporters after the meeting. Rasmussen called that outcome “totally unacceptable.”
Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of House members and senators on Friday touted “constructive” conversations with members of Denmark’s parliament during a delegation trip to Copenhagen.
The group — which included Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, Democratic Sen. Chris Coons, Democratic Sen. Peter Welch, Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, Democratic Rep. Sarah Jacobs, Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer and others — said the visit was to nurture the relationship between Denmark, Greenland and the United States and to reassure NATO partners that many members of Congress do not support any effort by the United States to acquire Greenland.
“I think it’s important that it be recognized that when it comes to matters of relationships with our friends, with our allies, as we have here in Denmark, as we have in Greenland, that it is — it is not a subject of Republicans versus Democrats. It is a recognition, again, of a strong and continuing relationship over decades,” Murkowski said.
Coons, who led the delegation, said the trip was designed for members of Congress to “listen respectfully” to NATO allies and to return to the United States “share those perspectives so that we can lower the temperature”.
“There’s a lot of rhetoric, but there’s not a lot of reality in the current discussion in Washington,” Coons said.
Aaja Chemnitz Larsen, one of Greenland’s representatives in the Danish parliament, said the group also discussed pressure that people in Greenland feel in light of President Trump’s recent rhetoric.
“We have also talked about the human dimension, the pressure that people are feeling back home in Greenland. I think it was well received, and of course, they understand the concerns that we have in Greenland,” Larsen said.

Dream Theater is releasing a new live album, Live in Tokyo, 2010.
The set, due out March 13, was recorded during the prog metallers’ performance at Japan’s 2010 Summer Sonic festival. The show would turn out to be drummer Mike Portnoy‘s final concert with Dream Theater before leaving the band later that year.
Portnoy, of course, eventually returned to Dream Theater in 2023. Their first album with him back in the band, Parasomnia, was released in 2025.
Live in Tokyo, 2010 is part of Dream Theater’s newly relaunched Lost Not Forgotten Archives live series.

Silversun Pickups have shared a new song called “Long Gone,” a track off the band’s upcoming album, Tenterhooks.
“I wanted to do an acoustic song, but not a ‘slow song,'” says frontman Brian Aubert. “It had to be really kicking, and I was thinking of Johnny Marr or a Western-style Ennio Morricone vibe.”
“The sentiment is, ‘Don’t worry. This isn’t going to end badly because I’ll be gone before that,'” Aubert adds. “I’m not necessarily speaking about an event. I’m speaking about an inherent emotion, and it feels very melancholic and beautiful.”

Bryan Adams is out with a new song.
The rocker just released the new track “Anything is Possible,” one of three songs he wrote for the new animated film Charlie the Wonderdog, which is in theaters now.
The song’s accompanying video has Adams and his band performing the song in a loft-like setting, with the film’s title character making a few quick cameos throughout the clip.
Adams’ three songs appear on a new EP, Charlie the Wonderdog (Original Songs from the Motion Picture), which is out now.
Charlie the Wonderdog centers on a family pooch, voiced by Owen Wilson, who becomes a superhero after gaining superpowers. He then must face off against a cat threatening to destroy humanity.
Adams has had a lot of new music to share with fans recently. In August, he dropped the new album Roll With the Punches. He also announced in early January that in April he’ll be releasing Tough Town, which was a 10-track bonus disc that was included with the deluxe box set version of Roll With the Punches.
In addition to new music, Adams will be on tour in 2026. He’ll kick off a tour of Japan on Jan. 26, then head to the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and more. A complete list of dates can be found at BryanAdams.com.

The lineup for Steven Tyler‘s seventh annual Jam for Janie Grammy Awards Viewing Party has just been announced, and the Aerosmith frontman has recruited some big-name stars for the event, taking place Feb. 1 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.
The night, hosted by Melissa Joan Hart, will include an all-star jam featuring The Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson, Cheap Trick’s Robin Zander, former Guns N’ Roses/Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum, Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt, The Go-Go’s frontwoman Belinda Carlisle and Marcus King, with more names to be added.
Money raised from the bash will go to Janie’s Fund, Tyler’s charity that helps girls who’ve been abused or neglected. Over the last decade, the organization has raised over $23 million, which has helped provide 350,000 days of counseling and trauma-informed care for more than 2,200 girls and young women, according to a press release.
“For 10 years, Janie’s Fund has provided hope, compassion and healing to girls and young women who have survived trauma. Through our programs, we’ve uplifted and empowered countless girls and women, and it warms my heart to see them transform into confident individuals,” says Tyler. “As we look to the next 10 years, we’ll continue to use our voices and platforms to support these young women, and make sure they’re receiving the quality care they deserve.”
