Mitchell Tenpenny is celebrating his latest #1 song in a big way.
This week, Mitchell sits at #1 on the country charts with “Truth About You.” To honor the accomplishment, he and rapper/singer T-Pain attended Sunday’s matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
“I’ve got the number 1 song on country radio & I’m partying with @tpain today! Life is f****** good,” he writes alongside a post featuring photos of him flashing a #1 on the field and posing with T-Pain, and a video of “Truth About You” playing over the stadium speakers.
“Truth” is Mitchell’s second #1 hit following his debut single, “Drunk Me,” in 2018. It serves as the lead single off his sophomore album, This Is the Heavy. He originally released it on TikTok in 2021 and decided to make it an official radio single after it went viral.
Dove Cameron says “99 percent” of stories written about her aren’t true, especially if it’s about her being “a diva” or “mentally unwell.”
“I’ve seen a lot written about me,” she told Glamourof the “inaccurate” reports about her. She says most of these “surprising” stories are “assuming things about how I behave as a professional or a partner.”
“People will come up with these lengthy stories claiming to have witnessed something in my work environment, and it’s behavior that is so out of character for me — and that would literally never be tolerated on a set from anyone, even if they were the lead in a franchise,” the singer continued.
Although “there are a lot of misconceptions about Hollywood,” Dove says some headlines make her laugh.
“I am perpetually on time, social, and I always stay later than I have to because I love my job and I love humans,” the “Boyfriend” hitmaker quipped. “So, that’s always been funny for me to read.”
Dove also opened up about having to “dim my light for others to feel comfortable around me” when she was younger, noting she was labeled, “‘intense,’ ‘fiery,’ and ‘too much'” as a child.
“When I was first working as a teenager, I got to a point where I greatly diminished who I was so I could fit in and not overwhelm peers or adults I worked with,” she explained, noting that led to her being labeled “shallow” and “bubbly.”
Said Dove, “The reality was that I had gone to such great lengths to hide my intensity, my emotion, my trauma, and my intelligence as to not threaten or upset anyone around me.”
Because of this, her best life advice is to “honor yourself and do everything you can for yourself and your growth.”
The late Chadwick Boseman and Black-ish stars Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross were named Disney Legends over the weekend at the D23 Expo: Ultimate Disney Fan Event in Anaheim, CA.
Boseman’s brother, Derrick Boseman, accepted the award on his brother’s behalf.
“I think about how he honored our parents. How he honored his family. How he honored even his friends, and he made sure that his friends had good careers,” Boseman said, according to Variety. “How he honored all the contracts that he signed. He honored them with his blood, his sweat, his tears, as he played these roles and he was taking chemo at the same time.”
The Disney Legends Award is given to an individual who has made an extraordinary contribution to the Disney legacy. Boseman, who died in 2020 from cancer, was recognized posthumously for his role as King T’Challa in Black Panther.
Anderson, who grew up near Disneyland in Compton, CA, remembered how Disney inspired him. “Disney has always been a part of my life, my upbringing, my childhood and it has informed me and allowed me to be the entertainer and the man that I am today,” the eight-time NAACP Image Award winner said, according to Deadline. “Disney has taught all of us to dream, and to dream big.”
Ross thanked Disney for giving a platform to Black-ish that “truly changed the landscape of modern television.”
“It feels really legendary to advocate for and breath life into a joyful Black woman for eight years on a great show,” the 49-year-old actress said.
She also hopes Black-ish paves the way for “more Black women-centered stories that reflect the truth and diversity of who we are in the world.”
Pearl Jam‘s concert at New York City’s Madison Square Garden Sunday coincided with the 21st anniversary of 9/11, so the grunge rockers honored the occasion with a performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
The show ended with guitarist Mike McCready shredding an instrumental rendition of the national anthem as the rest of the band looked on.
Fan-shot footage of the performance was posted to YouTube by user NKArch.
The MSG concert also featured a guest appearance by Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, who joined in for PJ’s customary cover of Neil Young‘s “Rockin’ in the Free World.” Additionally, Eddie Vedder gave a shout-out to tennis icons Serena and Venus Williams, who, according to Spin, were in attendance at the show.
With one more week to go before The Voice‘snew season on NBC, returning coach Gwen Stefani is laying out her case of why she deserves to win.
In a new promotional video, the Grammy winner declared she is “ready to take home another trophy” and told husband Blake Shelton to “watch out” because she’s “not playing nice.”
It should be noted that Blake does feel some pressure, noting his bride is “killing it.” New coach Camila Cabello also praises Gwen, saying if she had competed on the show, she would join Team Gwen.
Gwen revealed why she happily returned to the franchise, saying it “was built for people to shine and grow right before everyone’s eyes.”
“I just love to be here,” she continued, noting of the show’s “hopeful” tone. “Every time I come, I feel so grateful because I feel so inspired again about music.”
There was also a teaser of the upcoming first episode, where the “Sweet Escape” singer sits in her chair and admits she’s “having flashbacks.” She hasn’t been part of the show since its 19th season in 2020, which she won thanks to 16-year-old Carter Rubin.
Gwen first joined the franchise in 2014.
As for whether or not the singer will take home her second win, we’ll just have to tune in and see. The Voice returns for its 22nd season on September 19 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
That’s the word from the iconic sketch show’s official social media accounts, which posted the date along with a highlight reel from its long history and a simple caption: “SEASON 48.”
The subsequent shows will be on October 8 and the 15th; no guests have been announced for the first shows of the new season.
In the past few weeks, SNLhas polled followers as to whom should host and act as the musical guests this year.
SNL‘s largest cast ever has been culled down some recently: As reported, mainstays Kate McKinnon, Pete Davidson and Aidy Bryant stepped away before the summer, along with Kyle Mooney. More recently, it was announced that Melissa Villaseñor, Alex Moffat and Aristotle Athari wouldn’t be back, either.
Gucci Mane and his wife, Keyshia Ka’oir,are celebrating an upcoming new addition to their family. Keyshia announced on Instagram she is expecting their second child.
“Let’s Have Another Baby ICE Needs Somebody To Play With,” she captioned a video of her showing her husband a positive pregnancy test. The clip was set to the music of Queen Naija’s 2018 track, “Mama’s Hand.”
The news comes months after Keyshia expressed she wanted another child. “I need me anotha one,” she wrote on Instagram in December, alongside a series of throwback pics when she was nine months pregnant with her and Gucci’s first child, Ice.
The couple will celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary on October 17. They got married in 2017 in Miami in a lavish ceremony captured by BET’s 10-episode reality series The Mane Event.

Ricky Martin is facing new sexual assault accusations after a complaint was filed in Puerto Rico on Friday.
Peoplereports that the accuser’s identity and details pertaining to these new allegations have not been released to the public.
These claims comes days after Ricky launched a multi-million dollar lawsuit against his nephew, 21-year-old Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, who he claims tried to “assassinate” his reputation by accusing him of sexual abuse and stalking. Sanchez is the son of Ricky’s half-sister, Vanessa.
Ricky was exonerated in July when a Puerto Rican court dismissed Sanchez’s request for a restraining order. Later, Sanchez withdrew his domestic abuse allegations and admitted under oath he was never assaulted by the “Livin’ La Vida Loca” singer.
The singer’s attorney, José Andréu-Fuentes, spoke to People about the new allegations and hinted Sanchez is behind this latest court battle, as well.
“These claims are wildly offensive and completely untethered from reality,” he said. “When this man previously made similar allegations, his legal case had to be withdrawn — not least because he himself admitted under oath that Ricky Martin had never assaulted him in any way.”
“Now, after being sued for trying to extort Mr. Martin, he is attempting to spread his lies again. It is beyond time that the media stops giving this deeply troubled individual the oxygen of publicity and allows him to get the help he so clearly needs,” Fuentes continued.
In Ricky’s suit against Sanchez, he called his nephew “maladjusted” and claimed Sanchez continues to threaten to “assassinate his reputation” unless “he is economically compensated.”
Ricky’s lawyers have said the singer and his family no longer feel safe in Puerto Rico because of Sanchez’s alleged threats.
(NEW YORK) — Three young children, one just 3 months old, died after police discovered them unresponsive early Monday on the beach at New York’s Coney Island and detained their mother for questioning, authorities said.
The grim discovery came at 4:42 a.m., about 90 minutes after police launched a frantic search for the children, whose 30-year-old mother was found soaking wet, barefoot and uncommunicative on the Coney Island Boardwalk, police officials said during a news conference.
Kenneth Corey, chief of department for the New York Police Department, said officers immediately performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the children, who were taken to Coney Island Hospital, where they were all pronounced dead. While autopsies will be conducted to determine the cause of death, police suspect the children died from drowning, officials said.
Corey described the children as a 7-year-old boy, a 4-year-old girl and a 3-month-old girl. Their names were not immediately released.
Corey said the incident unfolded around 1:40 a.m., when a relative called 911 and said she was concerned that the mother was going to harm the children.
“I believe she (the mother) had called them and made statements to that effect,” Corey said.
Officers went to the mother’s apartment in Coney Island, knocked on the door but got no answer, Corey said. While at the address, a man showed up and identified himself as the father of one of the children, who also expressed concern for the well-being of the children and told officers he believed the mother had taken them to the boardwalk.
Corey said police immediately launched a search of the mother’s apartment, which was unlocked, the boardwalk, the surrounding neighborhood and the beach. They found the mother on the boardwalk with other relatives, but her children were nowhere in sight.
“She was soaking wet, she was barefoot and she was not communicative to the officers,” Corey said.
He said the search for the children intensified with NYPD helicopters and boats being deployed.
Corey said the children were found unresponsive at the water’s edge near the boardwalk at W. 35th Street.
He said the mother was found about two miles from where police discovered her children.
Corey said the mother, whose name was not released, was detained for questioning, but has not been taken into custody.
It’ll be 30 years since Madonna released Erotica, and she’s celebrating the milestone with a special anniversary, yet long overdue, picture disc.
The Grammy winner will finally drop a limited edition 12-inch vinyl picture disc — 30 years after she intended to release it. The disc was intended to accompany the arrival of the Erotica album, but shortly before it was set to hit the shelves, its release was canceled for being too explicit.
Copies of this picture disc were then destroyed, but a few survived the purge. Now, anyone can see the contents of this hotly sought-after collectible when it arrives on October 21.
This disc will include the colorized version of Madonna’s infamous “toe sucking” photo that made waves in Sex, her coffee table book that came out the same week as Erotica. In addition, it’ll also include three versions of the album’s title track — the album, instrumental and radio version.
To further celebrate, Madonna will release a new remix of her 2005 smash hit single “Hung Up” this Friday. The remix, which premiered in June as part of Madge’s Pride event at Terminal 5 in New York, features Tokischa.
Madonna released Erotica on October 20, 1992. It contained the hit singles “Fever,” “Rain,” “Deeper and Deeper,” “Bad Girl” and of course, its provocative title track.
The album has since sold over six million copies.
Pre-orders for the picture disc are now live on Madonna’s official online store and will cost roughly $25 to purchase.
