Just like McRae, we’ve personally been using the Hydro Boost moisturizer for years and it’s been a lifesaver for our sensitive skin, helping to restore balance and texture, while leaving a dewy (but not oily) complexion. Its small size makes it travel-friendly too, and the formula is great for using day and night. The 21-year-old McRae calls Neutrogena Hydro Boost her “must-have secret to juicy skin.”

“I’m thrilled to partner with Neutrogena – a brand I’ve trusted since I was young,” she says in a release. “What I love about this campaign is how real it feels. We’ve all been there—those moments where your brain just won’t stop spiraling, and the last thing you need is the overthinking messing up your skin. That’s why I’m obsessed with Hydro Boost,” she explains. “It keeps my skin hydrated and is the perfect reminder that skincare doesn’t have to be complicated to work.”

As the brand’s new Global Ambassador, Neutrogena says McRae will be featured in TV, social and digital campaigns to help promote their “Beauty to a Science” motto, which demonstrates the extensive dermatologist testing Neutrogena products go through before they hit store shelves. No stranger to being interviewed, McRae will appear in a campaign video alongside Neutrogena Global Innovation Partner, Dr. Muneeb Shah, to talk about how stress and overthinking can affect skin.
“By featuring Tate and her infectious energy, alongside Dr. Shah, whose expertise helped to make him the most followed dermatologist on social media, we’re bridging the gap between beauty and science, creating a powerful message for the next generation,” says Andrew Stanleick, Kenvue’s President of Skin Health & Beauty in North America, Europe, Middle East, and Africa. “With Neutrogena Hydro Boost, we’re redefining hydration and showing how skincare can empower you to feel your best every day.”

McRae’s new Neutrogena partnership comes as she prepares to release her third album, So Close to What, and hit the road for a world tour this spring.

The Grammy Awards weren’t the only big party happening over the weekend: the Miami ultraclub E11EVEN, brought out some of music’s other big stars to help celebrate their milestone eleventh anniversary.

Saweetie was the surprise guest at Saturday night’s festivities, taking to the stage at E11EVEN shortly after 3 a.m. in front of a packed house of fans and revelers. The former Grammy Best New Artist nominee kicked off her set with her Doja Cat collab, “Best Friend,” before running through a string of hits that included “Tap In, “My Type” and her summer anthem, “Nani.”
Saweetie has long been a fan and supporter of E11EVEN Miami, and her love and loyalty for her friends was recognized by DJ Irie, who was behind the decks for Saturday’s party. At one point, Irie shouted out Saweetie for supporting his “Irie Weekend” events from the very start of her career, thanking the rapper for always “showing up.”

Of course, Saweetie wasn’t the only artist who showed up for the 11 Years of E11EVEN Anniversary party: the five-night festivities kicked off last Wednesday with Fat Joe and Scott Storch (Jamie Foxx was also spotted in the crowd), followed by DJ’s Vice and Dlux on Thursday, a performance from Marshmello on Friday and reggaeton artist Lunay closing out the weekend on Sunday night.

First opened in 2014, E11EVEN Miami has quickly become one of the most exclusive and inventive venues in the world. Named after its location on NW 11th Street (and the idea of creating an 11/10 experience), the ultraclub has seamlessly merged the worlds of music and entertainment, with Cirque du Soleil-style performers trading sets on stage with musicians like Travis Scott, Cardi B and 50 Cent. Drake, meantime, was the first artist to perform at the venue’s now-iconic center stage, after telling the club owners that he wanted to be embedded with the fans.
Founder Dennis DeGori and operating partners operating partners Gino LoPinto and Daniel Solomon have had their fair share of memorable moments over the years, listing off names like Usher, Doja Cat, Leonardo DiCaprio and Post Malone as favorite guests they’ve hosted (“During Post’s performance, he went all-out, purchasing $50,000 in singles to throw in the air,” they recall).
Offset memorably performed at E11EVEN is his first public appearance following Takeoff’s death in 2022, and Kanye West made headlines last year by showing up barefoot to the first-ever WBC sanctioned boxing match inside a nightclub (Miami mayor Francis Suarez was even on hand to present the winner’s belt to Guillermo Rigondeaux, who defeated Dannis Agüero Arias by knockout in the first round).
Of course, the Magic City connection will always stand out too, and DeGori, LoPinto and Solomon say it was a thrilled to host the Florida Panthers last year, after their Stanley Cup win. “When the club played ‘We Are The Champions,’ the entire team gathered on center stage to sing along while passing around the Stanley Cup and drinking E11EVEN Vodka out of it,” LoPinto says.

If you are on a hunt for more clues about The Weeknd‘s upcoming Hurry Up Tomorrow film, the first trailer for the Trey Edward Shults-directed thriller won’t provide much clarity. The two-minute first look at the movie inspired by the singer’s album of the same name dropped on Tuesday morning (Feb. 4) and unlike many contemporary trailers it leaves more questions unanswered.
The action opens with a vertigo-inducing helicopter shot of an upside down cityscape as co-star Jenna Ortega’s character Anima intones, “Death is nothing at all. It does not kill,” over a shot of the Weeknd submerged in a bathtub up to his eyes.
Then, things start to get a bit weird. As we get our first glimpse of Anima, her voice appears to merge with Abel’s as they say, “everything remains exactly how it was. Whatever we were to each other that we are still.” Keoghan’s character, Abel’s manager, Lee, then pops up with a weary look on his face as a ghostly voice announces (not for the last time in the tailer), “call me by the old familiar name.”
Trending on Billboard
According to EW, in an interview conducted before the trailer dropped, Shults said it was “absolutely” possible that the movie is the vehicle by which Tesfaye will lay his long-running artistic alter ego to rest. “I tried to make the movie in a way where, for his fans and people who want to approach it at that level, I hope it’s very satisfying and you get a good meal out of it,” Shults said. “And for people that aren’t his fans and don’t know anything about him or even care about the final capping of the Weeknd, I think you still have a great movie to go through.
Speaking to Variety last month, Tesfaye confirmed that he was planning to retire his enigmatic Weeknd persona following last month’s release of the Hurry Up Tomorrow album, the conclusion of a trilogy that began with 2020’s After Hours LP and continued on 2022’s Dawn FM. “It’s a headspace I’ve gotta get into that I just don’t have any more desire for,” he said of his stage name. “You have a persona, but then you have the competition of it all. It becomes this rat race: more accolades, more success, more shows, more albums, more awards and more No. 1s. It never ends until you end it.”
The movie follows insomniac Abel as he’s pulled into an “odyssey with a stranger [Anima] who begins to unravel the very core of his existence.” Fans will recognize the by-now-familiar gold leaf-decked hooded robe in the trailer that Tesfaye has been wearing in recent performances in a bit where the bleary-eyed singer is hoisted on a lift up to a stage at a packed arena.
As a techno track bubbles up, we see Keoghan’s Lee trying to hype up Abel — “stop self-doubting, you’re f–king invincible!” he says — whose performance appears to make Anima tear up in the audience. She assures the singer, “this is all very intense, but I’m not trying to hurt you,” adding, “I’m really sorry about this. I really am,” as she sits next to a seemingly dazed and confused Abel on a bed.
The finale 45 seconds are a headlong rush of hectic imagery, including Anima pouring gas in a home as if to torch it as Abel gets more and more freaked out by the chaos around him. In keeping with the album trilogy’s visual presentation of an often-battered, spun-out singer, Shults told EW that the film is about an artist “on the verge of a mental breakdown,” explaining that he meets a woman [Ortega] and they “go on this odyssey together. It’s a mix of psychological thriller and drama. I honestly feel like I’ve never seen a movie quite like it.”
Ortega added that she thinks her character is another version of the singer, “a side of him that the persona the Weeknd doesn’t show as much.” The Hurry Up Tomorrow film — co-written by Shults, Tesfaye and The Idol co-creator Reza Fahim — will premiere in theaters on May 16.

For anyone looking to escape the onslaught of terrible news in 2025, drag superstar Trixie Mattel has an offer: Why not come dance with a drag queen for a while?
On Tuesday (Feb. 4), Mattel announced her upcoming North American tour for her live DJ show Solid Pink Disco: Blonde Edition. Set to start on April 5 in Toronto, the 16-date trek will take the Drag Race All Stars winner through Atlanta, Denver, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Chicago and more cities, before closing out on June 3 in Washington, D.C.
Mattel’s new rendition of her live DJ sets will feature an array of other artists across different dates, including DJ Mateo Segade, Daya, Rebecca Black, Shea Couleé, Snow Wife, Vincint, Zolita and more special guests.

“We need something to feel good about right now, and what better way than to put on your brightest pink and your blondest wig and dance surrounded by homosexuals?” Mattel tells Billboard in an exclusive statement shared with the news. “This Solid Pink Disco is going to be better and gayer than ever before.”
Mattel began performing DJ sets live after she discovered her passion for the artform during the pandemic. She revealed in a 2024 episode of her podcast The Bald and the Beautiful that she had decided to take a break from her career as a recording artist because she felt the “glass ceiling” of the music industry weighing on her.
“I recently have been taking a break from music because I feel the glass ceiling so fiercely,” she told Monét X Change in the episode. “We’re only ever taken seriously about one month a year. And it kind of takes the wind out of your sails. I want to make music, but if I don’t have this wig on, no one will pay attention. But because I have this wig on, no one will take it seriously.”

Matthew McConaughey has a conspiracy theory about football that dates back hundreds of years — and he’s recruiting Charli XCX, Martha Stewart and more stars to convince people it’s true in a hilarious Super Bowl commercial for Uber Eats.
Premiering Tuesday (Feb. 4), the 90-second spot — which will air during the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles game on Sunday (Feb. 9) — opens with the Interstellar star telling viewers, “From the very beginning, football has been a conspiracy to make us hungry.”
He then defends his thesis by starring in flashbacks to important moments in his version of football history, including the inception of the “pigskin” nickname — to “make people crave bacon,” as McConaughey and costar Kevin Bacon explain to a group of players in the 1800s — and the decision to name the Green Bay Packers after meatpackers, while their fans are called “cheeseheads.” At one point, Hot Ones host Sean Evans makes a fitting cameo as he and the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days actor decide on the Buffalo Bills’ team name over a plate of Buffalo wings.

Flash forward to 2025, and McConaughey says that the Super Bowl gods “aren’t even hiding it anymore.” Presiding over a conference table where the “Von Dutch” singer sits next to Stewart, the Oscar winner points out that this year’s Halftime Show is “presented by an apple” — at which point Charli takes a smug bite out of a Granny Smith, a reference to both her Brat song “Apple” and the name of the tech company sponsoring Kendrick Lamar’s highly anticipated mid-game performance Sunday (Feb. 9).
One person who doesn’t buy McConaughey’s theory, however, is filmmaker Greta Gerwig, who tells him at the end, “No one believes that football is just some conspiracy to sell food.”
It was first announced that Charli and the domestic doyenne would star in the McConaughey-led Super Bowl campaign in late January. At the time, the Grammy winner also joined Stewart for a round of “We Listen and We Don’t Judge” for the food delivery company, as well as broke down football positions in club terms.
“It was cute filming my first Super Bowl campaign with Uber Eats!” Charli said in a statement at the time. “Matthew and Martha are obviously legends, so I felt right at home.”
The musician is just one of several music stars fans can expect to see grace their TV screens come Super Bowl Sunday. Also appearing in lucrative game-day ads are Post Malone — who appears alongside Shane Gillis and Peyton Manning in Bud Light’s 2025 campaign — and Mountain Dew partner Becky G.
