Simone Biles' Olympics Glam Includes This $37 Fenty Beauty Product

Sephora

Biles has a DIY glam routine for the 2024 Summer Olympics and a beauty hack that keeps her makeup in place — no matter what routine she does.

“Tonight I start on vault, and I honestly think that’s the event I’m most nervous for because I don’t want to overpower it,” Biles said in a “get ready with me” TikTok video ahead of the Olympics all around gymnastics final over the weekend. The Olympian filmed herself putting on makeup while jamming to a music playlist that included Victoria Monet and Normani. “I’m doing the Yurchenko double pike which is also known as the Biles II vault,” she explained before showing love to her competition, Brazilian gymnast Rebecca Andrade.

“She’s good! And I would say she’s my top competitor,” Biles said of Andrade. “We’re very similar scorers overall and I haven’t had competition like this in a while, but I’m really excited to compete with her. She’s super sweet and she’s overcome a couple injuries, so to see her out here? Amazing. I’m excited!”

As for makeup, Biles put on concealer, eyeliner, setting powder, contour, bronzer (which she uses as eyeshadow), lip-gloss, blush and setting spray.

“I set my face with two different setting sprays,” she said showing Patrick Starrr’s One/Size On ‘Til Dawn Setting Spray and Ben Nyle Final Seal Setting Spray. Biles noted that Final Seal basically seals the deal when it comes to makeup. According to the product description, the setting spray dries quickly with a matte finish and is used by makeup artists, performers, actor and athletes, but also works for cosplay and other costumes.

Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history, won a silver medal in the women’s floor exercise final on Monday (Aug. 5). The 11-time Olympic medalists won four medals at the 2024 Summer Olympics, including three gold medals and one silver.

Team USA currently leads the Paris Olympics with 77 medals in total including 20 gold, 29 silver and 28 bronze medals.

Later in the evening, a man was charged after threatening on social media to shoot “two individuals, who were members of the Kansas City Chiefs organization” and who were present at the event, according to the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office in Missouri. The statement, which referred to the felony as a “terroristic threat,” was released Saturday by Michael Mansur, director of communication, on behalf of Jackson County’s prosecutor, Jean Peters Bak.

As a result, the show was delayed 40 minutes. In court documents, the defendant was quoted as saying, “It was a stupid, stupid, stupid mistake.” He claimed he had never made threats in the past on social media and stated again that “it was stupid.” His girlfriend told investigators that the alleged threat was posted, and then deleted, on a “burner” account where he’d “tweet stupid stuff.”

“The defendant was charged earlier today and a $15,000 bond was set. Prosecutors requested a $250,000 cash bond,” according to the prosecutor’s office.

DJ Mustard Calls Drake “The Malcolm X Of White People” After Album Flops

DJ Mustard might be in his feelings. He referred to Drake as “The Malcolm X Of White People” when discussing his recent album’s lackluster performance.

As spotted on XXL Magazine the Los Angeles, California native recently released his fourth album Faith of a Mustard Seed. Even though he collaborated with the likes of Lil Yachty, Quavo, Lil Durk and Future the project only sold 18,000 units during the first week. Given his history for producing hits for others many deemed this new effort as a commercial failure and made their feelings known directly to him on X, formerly Twitter. It seems some of the criticism got to him as he dismissed the record sales metric writing “Album sales are a form of [White] supremacy you ni**as racist.”

One fan responded “It’s only racist when your album flops. If your album sold well you’d be flexing your sales” and that’s when he went on a brief rant alleging Drake had a hand negatively impacting his album. “Drake is the Malcolm x of white people and @Akademiks make sure you post @GordoSZN first week since drake thought he did a thing with making him drop on the same day as me” he wrote. This is a reference to the rumor Drake suggested that Gordo drop his album DIAMANTE, that has two features from Drizzy, on the same day as Faith of a Mustard Seed. It seems the slander quickly escalated as he soon insinuated that bots were flooding his timeline. “These drake bots are the Nation of drizzlam” and “THE BOTS TRYNA FADE ME.” 

DJ Mustard produced the beat for Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”. Since then he has been involved in the Rap beef by default. You can see his posts below.

Khalid’s Fiery Vision for ‘Heatstroke’ | How It Went Down | Billboard News

Khalid’s latest album, Sincere, has a hot track called “Heatstroke.” See how he was inspired to write the fiery track, from songwriting to the music video!

Khalid:
Hey, what’s up? It’s Khalid here, and this is how it went down with my song “Heatstroke.”

“Heatstroke,” to me, is a risk for me to take. I love genre bending. I love music. I’m a music listener. I’m a student, and that was a genre that I hadn’t dipped my toes in. And I wanted to make sure that when I was writing this song that it felt real and it felt down to earth.

Super fun working with John Hill. We really wanted to make something that brought me back to one of my favorite times of music, and that is 2010s indie pop.

When I record music, I like to sit in a dimly lit room, be by myself in the booth, where I can close my eyes and I can disappear. And although it might have been nearly winter when I when I wrote this song, I close my eyes and I’m immediately on the water side at the beach in the middle of August.

When I was writing “Heatstroke,” I wanted to make sure that it felt authentic, even before I knew that the name of the album was going to be called Sincere. Something about that moment freestyling a song. It’s like I couldn’t stop myself from saying, “What if I told you?”

“Heatstroke” is a special song. It’s one of those songs that you finish in the moment, and you leave and you don’t think about it for a while, and it comes back to you.

Keep watching for more!

Luke Bryan Offers Carrie Underwood Advice on ‘American Idol’ Judge Role — And It Involves Therapy

When it comes to finding success through American Idol, Carrie Underwood needs no advice. She was the winner of the music talent competiton’s fourth season in 2005, and since then, has gone on to become a three-time Academy of Country Music entertainer of the year winner and an eight-time Grammy winner who has notched 16 Billboard Country Airplay No. 1 hits, as well as a No. 1 Billboard all-genre Hot 100 hit (“Inside Your Heaven”).

However, when it comes to Underwood preparing to take over one of the American Idol judges’ seats, her fellow Idol judge Bryan has just one bit of advice for his fellow country singer-songwriter–and it sounds like the judge position on Idol could be a bit emotionally taxing.

Trending on Billboard

In an interview with Audacy country music station 100.7 The Wolf backstage during the Watershed Music Festival, Bryan said, “Up your therapist. If she has a therapist, she’s probably going to have to double to deal with me and Lionel”

Bryan also made Underwood a thoughtful offer. “Maybe I should credit her or give her…I wonder do therapists do gift cards where I can call her therapist and gift her a voucher?”

Underwood won American Idol nearly two decades ago, and has since developed a multi-faceted career that includes not only being one of country music’s top headliners, but Underwood is also an actress and released the book Find Your Path. She has also capitalized on her commitment to health and wellness, through her fit52 fitness app. Her Las Vegas residency just added shows in 2025, and she’s also launched a trio of channels on SiriusXM, including Carrie’s Country, Carr-dio by Carrie’s Country and Savior Sunday Daily by Carrie’s Country.

Trump Toady Byron Donalds Debunked For Kamala Harris Slurs By ABC Host, Xitter Rejoices

Congressman Byron Donalds’ attack on Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity was debunked in an ABC interview, and social media took note.
On Sunday (August 4), Florida Republican congressman Byron Donalds appeared on ABC’s This Week. In the interview with host George Stephanopolous, Donalds dismissed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s attacks on the racial identity of Vice President Kamala Harris at his turbulent appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists. “This is really a phony controversy,” Donalds said. “I don’t really care, most people don’t, but if we’re going to be accurate, when Kamala Harris went into the United States Senate, it was AP that said she was the Indian-American United States senator. It was actually played up a lot,” he continued.

Stephanopoulos fired back: “And you just repeated the slur again. If it doesn’t matter,” Stephanopoulos then asked Donalds, “why do you all keep questioning her identity? She’s always identified as a black woman. She is biracial. She has a Jamaican father and Indian mother. She’s always identified as both. Why are you questioning that?” Donalds, a very loyal ally to Trump claimed it was a hot topic on “social media” before replying: “There are a lot of people who are trying to figure this out, but again, that’s a side issue, not the main issue,” to which Stephanopoulos interjected. “You just did it again. Why do you insist on questioning her racial identity?”

The contentious interview continued with cross-talk from both men, as Donalds repeated his assertion. “Every single time you repeat the slur,” Stephanopoulos countered. “That’s exactly my point.  You continue to repeat [Trump’s] slur, but it’s clear you’re not gonna say that’s wrong and you’ve now established that for our audience.” Donalds then abruptly conceded, “Let’s move on.”

The exchange between the two caught the attention of many on social media, with many noting Donalds’ zeal in repeating Trump’s accusations. One individual named A to the Z Amber commented on X, formerly Twitter, “Oh it matters to the American people that the Republican party are a bunch of racists, George is pointing it out and he’s deflecting.” That point was underscored by This Week panelist and former Democratic Party strategist Donna Brazile, who said Trump’s attacks were similar to ones made against former President Barack Obama. “This is an old playbook. America’s tired of this playbook,” she remarked.

Kehlani’s Ex Files for Full Custody of Their Daughter, Alleges Singer Is in a ‘Cult’

Kehlani’s ex-partner Javaughn Young-White has filed a petition to gain legal and physical custody of their 5-year-old daughter, Adeya, claiming the singer is in what he describes as a cult. He is also requesting child support.

In the court documents, filed in Los Angeles on July 24 and obtained by Billboard, Young-White claims “everyone else has bigger say-so when it comes to upbringing of our daughter than I do.” He says that because Adeya, who arrived in March 2019, was “born in a home and not in a conventional setting like a hospital,” Young-White’s name is not on the birth certificate as her father. Additionally, he claims he requested a copy of both the child’s birth certificate and social security number, both to “no avail.” (In announcing the birth of Adeya, Kehlani shared via a since-deleted Instagram post that they welcomed their healthy baby girl via “unmedicated homebirth.”)

According to Young-White’s filing, Kehlani — whose full name is Kehlani Parrish — allegedly “has been involved in this cult for the past few years and it appears that this cult controls her actions and her behavior, including when it comes to the upbringing of our daughter.”

Per the documents, Young-White claims he has attempted to retrieve his daughter in the past, but was allegedly “physically restrained and threatened” by members of what he referred to as the cult. “While Respondent is on tour, and our daughter is in the care of her fellow cult members, Adeya sleeps in the bed with, and is given baths by random adult members of the cult and she is often in the bedroom alone with some of these people,” he alleges.

Young-White concluded by requesting that Kehlani takes a psychological exam, that his name be added to Adeya’s birth certificate and that Adeya’s name be changed officially from Adeya Parrish to Adeya Parrish Young-White. “I am also requesting that I have full custody of Adeya due to [Kehlani]’s busy schedule, her relationship with the cult that she is involved in,” the filing reads.

“I am not here to disparage [Kehlani]. However, the environment that she has created for her self is not the type of environment that a child should be living and therefore, I bring myself to the mercy and wisdom of the Court to save my daughter before it is too late,” he concluded in his filing.

Kehlani has not yet publicly responded to the allegations in Young-White’s petition for custody. Billboard has reached out to reps for both the singer and her former partner for comment.
