Chappell Roan was named a global ambassador for M·A·C Cosmetics last December, and in February she starred in the brand’s new Sephora campaign. Now, she’s been named the new face of the brand’s ongoing VIVA GLAM lipstick.

One hundred percent of the profits from VIVA GLAM, founded in 1994, go to charities worldwide that support sexual, gender, racial and environmental equality. As part of Chappell’s involvement, M·A·C is donating $300,000 to her own Midwest Princess Project foundation, which supports care and advocacy for LGBTQ+ communities.

Chappell has co-created three separate limited-edition lipsticks for her collection, designed for “the girls, the gays and the theys”: Unnatural Red Head, inspired by her hair; Roan of Arc, a lipstick-meets-lip balm hybrid in plum; and Damnsel, a red-plum gloss with a gold shimmer. The campaign casts Chappell as a French Revolution-era warrior and empress.

“VIVA GLAM has always been about more than makeup. It’s about showing up for communities and making real change,” Chappell says in a statement. “Being able to create these shades and know that every purchase gives back makes this partnership feel incredibly special to me.”  The collection arrives in stores June 11.

Over the years, M·A·C VIVA GLAM has raised more than $545 million.

Luke Combs wrapped the North American leg of his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour with a sold-out show June 6 at Rogers Stadium in Toronto. 

“[The] tour’s been really, really fun. We’ve been having a good time with it. The stage is huge. The crowds have been huge. Obviously [I’m] very thankful for that,” he says. “And yeah, it’s a new challenge for us. We’re doing center stage in the stadiums and there’s all kinds of fire and, you know, fireworks and crazy stuff.”

“But it’s been just really a lot of fun, honestly. It always is,” he adds. 

The “Be By You” hitmaker has a bit of time off before he kicks off the European leg of the tour July 4 in Gothenburg, Sweden. 

He’ll finish the run Aug. 2 when he plays his third night at London’s Wembley Stadium.

Twenty-five years ago, if someone had told you the guy who recorded “It Wasn’t Me” would be onstage at New York City’s famed Metropolitan Opera House with the man who sang “Roxanne,” you probably wouldn’t have believed it. This, however, is an actual thing that’s happening Tuesday, as Sting’s musical The Last Ship sails into The Met, after successful runs in Amsterdam, Paris and Brisbane, Australia.

“It’s set in my hometown, I was born in the north east of England on the coast in a shipyard town,” Sting told ABC’s Good Morning America about the musical. “It’s the story of my community and it is a love story. It’s an elegy. It is an allegory, [it has] some great songs — and Shaggy is in it.”

Sting and Shaggy have worked together for years, so when Sting retooled The Last Ship, he brought in his pal to play the mysterious character of The Ferryman, who the rapper says is “really the angel of death.”

“[He’s] the bridge between the present world and the afterlife,” Shaggy says of The Ferryman, who can only be seen by two characters: Sting’s Jackie White and Gideon, the main character.

“But it gives me room to just do Shaggy, because …. I bring the whole sauce, the whole vibe to it, y’know? And Sting likes that.” Sting also likes that Shaggy’s surprising people with his singing voice.

“People are shocked when they hear me [in the show],” says the reggae star, adding that Sting “really pushed” him to use his vocal abilities.

While most musicians would kill for a chance to perform at The Met, Shaggy says for him, “It’s just another show.”

“I’m going out there just rocking it, man, and giving it my best,” he tells ABC Audio. “My main thing is that Sting is beside me, and I gotta show up for him, ’cause he shows up for me.” 

The Last Ship runs through June 14.

On Jimmy Eat World’s song “A Praise Chorus,” a track off the band’s 2001 album, Bleed American, frontman Jim Adkins sings, “Even at 25, you got to start sometime.” Now 25 years later, Jimmy Eat World is celebrating a quarter-century of their biggest record.

Speaking with ABC Audio, Adkins describes marking the 25th anniversary of Bleed American as “bonkers.”

“It’s so wild and it just hits in a completely different way now,” Adkins says.

“When we made Bleed American, we had really little expectations for what was gonna happen,” he continues. “When things just went nuts, it was, you know, ‘That’s not real.’ Where are you supposed to put that … in your 20s?”

Adkins plans to savor the love around Bleed American more on Jimmy Eat World’s 25th anniversary tour, which launches Tuesday at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. He also feels that he and his bandmates have grown a lot as musicians over the last 25 years.

“I feel like we’re better performers, we’re better players,” Adkins says. “So we can present this material in a way that maybe is probably the best that we’ve been able to do it.”

Along with “A Praise Chorus,” Bleed American features Jimmy Eat World’s signature song, “The Middle,” as well as the singles “Sweetness” and the title track. While all of those songs have long been staples of Jimmy Eat World’s live set, Adkins says relistening to the record’s original multitrack tapes has reminded him of how it all began.

“The measurements and ingredients of the original recipe are laid bare there,” Adkins says. “Some of it isn’t what I remember.”

“Actually digging into the record, the guts of it … it really forced us to look at it in a way that we haven’t really since then,” he adds.
