After being announced as a global ambassador for M·A·C Cosmetics in 2025, Chappell Roan is now starring in the brand’s new ad campaign celebrating its launch at Sephora on March 2.
In the campaign, which also features influencer and model Quenlin Blackwell and model Gabbriette, Chappell is shown with a mostly bare face, and then with a full face of makeup. However, her look is somewhat tame compared to her over-the-top onstage looks.
Chappell’s makeup artist, Andrew Dahling, says in a statement that Chappell’s look was inspired by the ’90s, calling it “an homage to an era of glamour that has lived on forever.”
He added, “It’s a bit unexpected for Chappell Roan, as we often use an array of color, but … we wanted to create a look that honored M·A·C’s legacy as a brand, by and for everyone.”
If you’re interested, Chappell’s look was created with M·A·C lip pencils in Auburn and Stripdown and Silky Matte Lipsticks in Marrakesh and Taupe on the lips, and Matte Liquid Colour in Brule and Stone and Stack Mascara on the eyes.

4 Non Blondes frontwoman Linda Perry has announced the details of her new solo album, Let It Die Here.
The record is due out on May 8. Its first single is a new rendition of the song “Beautiful,” which Perry had originally written before it became a hit for pop star Christina Aguilera in the early 2000s.
“When I wrote ‘Beautiful,’ I had no idea I was struggling inside,” Perry says in a statement. “‘I am beautiful no matter what they say.’ ‘They’ represents the insecurities we all face, the fear that makes people unkind simply because someone or something is different.”
“‘Beautiful’ is about self-expression, being free to be whoever you want to be,” she continues. “‘Don’t you bring me down today.’ Don’t you dare try to make me feel less than, not good enough, or ugly because I don’t look like you. Don’t treat me like I don’t matter just because I do not speak or think like you. I will shine in every single way, and no one can take that from me, you, or anyone.”
You can watch the video for Perry’s “Beautiful” streaming on YouTube. Perry will be performing the song on Tuesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC.
Along with Let It Die Here, a Perry documentary of the same name is set to premiere in theaters in May. Perry is also working on the first 4 Non Blondes album since their 1992 debut, due out later in 2026.
Here’s the Let It Die Here track list: “Balboa Park” “Stupid Yellow Kite” “Push Me in the River” “Is That All You Got” “Let It Die Here” “Mourning” “What Lies With You” “I Am Daughter” “Anxiety” “The Suitcase” “Beautiful” “Feathers in a Storm” “Deep Breath” “Now That She’s Gone” “Sunday Best” “Liberation” “Albatross”

J. Cole released the visual for his song “Legacy” as part of a recent vlog chronicling his trunk sale stops.
The video starts at two minutes, 50 seconds and finds Cole rapping in front of a convertible before getting in for a drive.
The vlog itself finds Cole interacting with fans in Nashville, giving them handshakes, signing CDs and having an in-depth conversation about his discography with a longtime supporter.
In the clip, he agrees with the fan’s theory that he was “completing the stories and all the chapters” of his life that he wanted to tell in The Fall-Off.
According to Cole, his albums The Come Up, The Warm Up, Friday Night Lights, Cole World:The Sideline Story, Born Sinner and Forest Hills Drive show the progression of his life.
K.O.D., 4 Your Eyez Only, The Off-Season and Might Delete Later, on the other hand, were just “side quests” and“lyrical exercise.” He explains, “It’s me practicing to get to The Fall-Off, which is the continuation of the J. Cole story — Jermaine’s life story in the form of this J. Cole character.”
While Cole feels there’s “nothing else to say as Jermaine via J. Cole,” he notes he may still work on some music. “Ima rap probably, I’ll hop on a song probably, I might even f*** around if I get inspired enough, I may do an album,” Cole says. “But I don’t care to continue that story.”
Cole kicks off his Fall-Off world tour on July 11 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The BBC is apologizing to viewers for airing racial slurs heard during the 2026 BAFTAs telecast Sunday.
“Some viewers may have heard strong and offensive language during the BAFTA Film Awards. This arose from involuntary verbal tics associated with Tourette syndrome, and as explained during the ceremony it was not intentional. We apologise that this was not edited out prior to broadcast and it will now be removed from the [online and streaming] version on BBC iPlayer,” a BBC spokesperson said.
Critics say the British broadcaster had time to edit out the slurs before the ceremony was broadcast on a two-hour delay. Other portions of the awards show were edited, including one award presenter saying “Free Palestine.”
During the awards show, often referred to as the “British Oscars,” there were several obscene outbursts from Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson, who was the inspiration for the movie I Swear.
Tourette syndrome, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is a neurological condition that may cause involuntary movements and vocal tics, sometimes involving outbursts of inappropriate language.
One such outburst occurred while Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were onstage Sunday night, with Davidson yelling a racial slur as the two actors were presenting the first award of the night.
Jordan and Lindo appeared startled by the incident but continued with their presentation.
Later in the ceremony, BAFTAs host Alan Cumming apologized directly to the audience and asked for their understanding.
“You may have heard some strong and offensive language tonight. Tourette syndrome is a disability, and the tics you’ve heard tonight are involuntary, which means the person who has Tourette syndrome has no control over their language. We apologize if you were offended,” Cumming said.
Davidson left the ceremony partway through the proceedings, reportedly of his own accord, according to the BBC.
I Swear, which was nominated for five awards, won big at this year’s awards show, with star Robert Aramayo winning the leading actor award over category favorite Timothée Chalamet, who was nominated for MartySupreme.
