Adam Lambert Delivers Heart-Wrenching ‘I Don’t Care Much’ Performance on ‘The Tonight Show’: Watch

As he nears the end of his run in Broadway‘s Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, singer Adam Lambert celebrated his run with a stunning performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday night (Feb. 10).

Dressed in all-black and wearing some glossy black lipstick and eyeshadow, Lambert performed “I Don’t Care Much,” the melancholy act II ballad sung by his character in the show, the Emcee. Dropping his character’s German accent, the American Idol alum sauntered through the jazzy number, placing particular emphasis on its harsh lyrics.

“Words sound false when your coat’s too thin/ Feet don’t waltz when the roof caves in,” he belted. “So if you kiss me, if we touch/ Warning’s fair; I don’t care very much.”

Trending on Billboard

Lambert released his rendition of the song as a single back in December, and in an interview with radio presenter Elvis Duran, explained the track’s painful meaning in the larger context of the show. “It’s like a torch song,” he said. “It’s really beautiful, and this is in the second act when things are sad, and it’s a song about indifference, and kind of just saying ‘I give up.’”

Cabaret takes place in Berlin during the late 1920s and early 1930s, as the Nazi party rose to power. In “I Don’t Care Much,” Lambert’s Emcee sings about Germany’s apathy in the face of the Nazis’ fascist, antisemitic rhetoric. While he was recording the song, Lambert says he couldn’t help but think about the parallels between that story and today’s politics.

“The day after the [2024 U.S.] election, I know we all felt some kind of way. We recorded this right around election week,” he explained. “I kept going back to how I felt, how a lot of the people that I know in my community felt [after the election], and it was this feeling of … ‘I don’t know what else to do, except to say that I guess I don’t care now as a coping mechanism.’”

Lambert currently stars in the production alongside Auli’i Cravalho (as Sally Bowles), with both of their last performances slated for March 29. Starting on March 31, the roles of the Emcee and Sally will be taken over by country singer-songwriter Orville Peck and Tony-nominated actress Eva Noblezada.

Jimmy Kimmel Calls Donald Trump ‘Jealous’ of Taylor Swift Following Post About Super Bowl Boos

Jimmy Kimmel is coming to Taylor Swift‘s defense after Donald Trump taunted the pop star on social media following the 2025 Super Bowl.

On the latest episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! Monday (Feb. 10), the late-night host recapped the night prior’s big game — which ended with the Kansas City Chiefs losing 22-40 against the Philadelphia Eagles — including the moment some people in the crowd at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans booed the “Fortnight” singer when her face came on the jumbotrons. The president later taunted Swift for it on Truth Social, writing, “The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!”

Of Trump’s post, Kimmel began, “She didn’t get booed out of the stadium.”

“Unlike you, she stayed for the whole game — and it was the Eagles fans who were booing her,” he continued. “But you’re right, it’s all about you.”

Swift was present at the game Sunday (Feb. 9) to cheer on her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Trump also attended, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to go to a Super Bowl.

The former reality star’s jab at the 14-time Grammy winner is far from the first time he’s taken shots at Swift. Most notably, Trump wrote that he “HATED TAYLOR SWIFT” in an all-caps post on Truth Social after the musician endorsed his opponent, Kamala Harris, in the 2024 election (something that didn’t stop Kelce from saying it would be “a great honor” to have Trump in attendance at the Super Bowl a few days before the game).

But of the twice-impeached president’s latest Swift insult, Kimmel joked Monday that the politician is “just jealous of Taylor Swift because she has more followers and more money and no kids than he does.”

Kodak Black’s Team Denies Drug Use in Viral Chicken-Eating Video

Recently, a video surfaced of Kodak Black, the Florida rapper, sitting on the floor of a busy Atlanta street eating chicken, which quickly sparked concern among his fans. Many speculated that the rapper was struggling with drug addiction, with some suggesting he appeared disoriented or unwell. As the video circulated online, fans voiced their worries, with even Kanye West offering to help. Ye posted on social media, expressing his intent to fly down to Atlanta to support Kodak, “I’m booking my flight to Atlanta right now to help Kodak,” Ye said. “I know I said f**k rappers man, but I need y’all right now. Someone has to go and do something. I know y’all always think I’m crashing out, and I’m just expressing myself, I’m cathartic. Look man, please don’t, just let me go down there and help this man out.”

However, Kodak’s team quickly responded to the growing speculation, clarifying that the video was actually part of a scene for an upcoming music video. They assured the public that the rapper was fine and not dealing with any personal struggles. This incident is not the first time Kodak Black has faced accusations of drug use. Earlier, during an appearance on Kai Cenat’s livestream, he was seen taking what appeared to be a pill, which further fueled rumors of addiction.

Kodak has long been a figure surrounded by controversy, often finding himself in the spotlight for his behavior and public appearances. Despite the rumors and speculation, the rapper continues to maintain his stance and pushes forward with his career, leaving fans to question the reality behind his actions and the constant scrutiny he faces. The incident with the chicken and the street, however, serves as a reminder of how quickly the public can jump to conclusions without knowing the full context.

David Letterman Surprises Jimmy Fallon as Paul Shaffer Takes Over ‘The Tonight Show’

David Letterman made a surprise cameo on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Feb. 10, interrupting Fallon’s monologue to welcome his longtime musical director Paul Shaffer and The World’s Most Dangerous Band, who are filling in for The Roots during their week of rehearsals for Saturday Night Live’s 50th-anniversary concert.

Fallon had wrapped up a joke about Super Bowl LIX when Letterman suddenly walked onto the stage, prompting Fallon to shout, “Oh, my God! David Letterman?! My God! What are you doing here?”

Trending on Billboard

Letterman, unfazed, delivered a classic deadpan response: “Is this the 23rd hour of the Today show?” before turning his attention to Shaffer. “Paul?! What are you doing here?!”

Shaffer, who spent 33 years as Letterman’s bandleader on Late Night with David Letterman (1982-1993) and The Late Show with David Letterman (1993-2015), is stepping into his old late-night groove this week as The Tonight Show’s temporary house band leader.

“You know, it’s a funny story,” Shaffer joked. “You ever taken too much Ambien and then you wake up somewhere with no clue how the hell you got there?”

“Wow. You’ve been reading my diary,” Letterman quipped.

The impromptu reunion quickly escalated into full-on late-night chaos. After Fallon suggested making a Tiktok video together, Letterman joked, “I made an enormous deal with the Chinese government.” When Fallon proposed a “handshake challenge” for the viral moment, Letterman shot it down immediately. “Yeah, that was lame,” he declared. “What I really want to do is hit you in the face with a tortilla.”

That’s exactly what happened next. As the band played along, the two hosts engaged in an all-out tortilla slap battle, with Fallon laughing, “I think you cracked a crown!” Letterman didn’t let up: “We’ll see you in court.”

Shaffer and The World’s Most Dangerous Band will continue their Tonight Show residency through Feb. 14, bringing a throwback flavor to Studio 6B while The Roots prepare for SNL’s milestone special. With Letterman proving he’s always ready to crash a late-night set, the rest of the week could bring even more surprises.

Super Bowl LIX Scores Ratings Record for Second Year in a Row

This year’s Super Bowl has made television history, with the broadcast setting a ratings record for the second year in a row.

According to FoxSports, an average of 126 million viewers tuned in to watch their broadcast on Sunday (Feb. 9), which saw the Philadelphia Eagles emerge victorious over the Kansas City Chiefs with a final score of 40 to 22. According to the network, those figures measure viewers across Fox, Fox Deportes, Tubi, Telemundo and NFL digital properties.

That number is a 2% increase on the 123.7 million viewers who watched last year’s event, which outshone any audience previously recorded by Nielsen. Fox also noted that their peak audience of 135.7 million viewers occurred around the game’s second quarter, between 8:00-8:15pm ET.

Though the evening’s big takeaway was undoubtedly related to the game itself, a sizable portion of the Super Bowl’s viewership likely came thanks to the halftime show, which featured Kendrick Lamar in the spotlight.

Trending on Billboard

Much of the discourse relating to Lamar’s appearance revolved around the potential content of his performance – specifically whether he would perform his Drake diss track “Not Like Us”. 

Having inspired a defamation lawsuit from its subject matter against Lamar (and Drake’s) record label, Universal Music Group in January, and having taken home five Grammys (including Record of the Year and Song of the Year) just a week earlier, Lamar ensured that the song received pride of place in his already-iconic set. Samuel L. Jackson, SZA, and Serena Williams also joined Lamar onstage for the performance at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome.

Currently, specific break-out numbers for the halftime show have not been made available, though it would likely be in contention for the title of the most-watched halftime show in history. According to The Hollywood Reporter, that honor belongs to the 1993 Super Bowl, which saw Michael Jackson change the face of halftime entertainment, bringing in 133 million viewers for his appearance.

Green Day Is Working on a Film Inspired By Their Years in a Tour Van

Wake us up when New Years Rev hits theaters.

Live Nation announced on Monday (Feb. 10) a new comedy film developed by Lee Kirk alongside Green Day. New Years Rev is a coming-of-age story starring Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman and Ryan Foust, as the trio’s characters head to Los Angeles under the false impression that they’ll be opening for the “American Idiot” rockers on New Years Eve. The story is inspired by Green Day and their years of living in a tour van, per a release.

The Office actresses Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey also appear in the film, and the current cast is rounded out by Ignacio Diaz- Silverio and Keen Ruffalo.

“Van days rule. You will drive all night on no sleep then play a show for 10 kids in a basement of a friend of a friend’s house 50 miles east of anywhere you’ve ever heard of,” Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said in a press statement, “But you’ll do it again the next day, and the one after that. Because you’re doing it with your bandmates who become your family and it’s unlike anything you’ve ever known. It’s electric. Let the music and mischief ensue.”

Ryan Kroft, head of film and TV at Live Nation Productions, added, “With incredible guidance from Green Day, New Years Rev tells the story of young artists chasing a dream – long nights, endless miles, and the electrifying rush of the stage fueling their journey. Brought to life by an incredible cast, it’s a tribute to the magic of live music.”

Live Nation has yet to announce an anticipated release date for New Years Rev, but production is currently underway in Oklahoma.

Pharrell’s Live-Action Musical Biopic ‘Golden’ Directed by Michel Gondry Scrapped

Did you know that Pharrell Williams had another biopic planned? Following his Lego movie Piece by Piece last year, Pharrell was planning a live-action musical biopic under Universal called Golden.

Originally titled Atlantis, the scrapped film was helmed by Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind director Michel Gondry and was set to star Kelvin Harrison Jr., Halle Bailey, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Brian Tyree Henry, Janelle Monáe, Missy Elliott, Quinta Brunson, Anderson .Paak and comedian Jaboukie Young-White.

Trending on Billboard

Williams and Gondry have decided to scrap the movie in post-production because the final product didn’t live up to their standards.

“When all of us got into the editing room we collectively decided there wasn’t a path forward to tell the version of this story that we originally envisioned,” they told Variety in a joint statement, which was also sent to Billboard. “We appreciate all the hard work of the talented cast and crew. While we’re disappointed we can’t deliver this film, we have incredible partners at Universal and will collaborate in a different capacity again soon.”

Pharrell spoke with Empire last November about the differences between the two movies. “Piece by Piece is about my life, whereas Golden is about a neighborhood that I grew up in,” he explained. “This is very different. It’s a musical expedition, set in the summer of 1977 in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with the spirit of the music [of that time].”

Adding, “You know how in Dirty Dancing and Grease, the music was almost a character? That’s what it’s like in this film. It’s a coming-of-age story about self-discovery and pursuing your dreams, but it’s so much more magical than that. It’s a celebration of Black life, Black culture, and most importantly, Black joy.”

According to Variety, Golden had a tentative May 5 release date, and Universal will take a $20 million hit in costs already spent.

On the music side, Pharrell has reunited with his old friends the Clipse for their highly anticipated album Let God Sort Em Out, which should be released sometime this year.
