Both the PerL and PerL Pro have active noise cancellation, they’re water and sweat resistant with customizable controls and are available in black and white at Denon.com.

“Our latest campaign is a dynamic fusion of Denon’s dedication to sound innovation, and Katy’s modern musical artistry,” said Blair Tripodi, COO of Masimo’s consumer brands. “This partnership unites the personalization capabilities of Denon PerL with Katy’s spirit of individualism and self-expression, which is visually represented using Denon’s iconic hearing profile aura. Denon PerL is a modern product that stands out and apart from the crowd, just like Katy and her new music.”

Perry revealed the Denon partnership at a listening event over the weekend where she participated in a Q&A and shared some of her favorite songs from Woman’s World. The new single will be released on July 11.

Over the past few years inflation has caused grocery prices to rise and everyday necessities to take a big bite out of our pockets, but at least our beloved AriZona Iced Tea continues to remain at a single $1.

Why you ask? Well according to Today the founder of Arizona Iced Tea feels that the company doesn’t need to resort to raising the price of a single 23-ounce can of iced tea ((he said the same TWO years ago). While many companies are taking advantage of price hikes and following suit even if they don’t have to, Arizona Beverages’ chairman and co-founder Don Vultaggio says that business is still booming and they aren’t looking to make life harder on their customers by digging in their pockets for a few more cents.

Per Today:

“We’re successful. We’re debt-free. We own everything. Why? Why have people who are having a hard time paying their rent have to pay more for our drink?” he told Sellers. “Maybe it’s my little way to give back.
When asked whether he ever intends to raise prices, he responded, “Not in the foreseeable future. We’re gonna fight as hard as we can for consumers.”
Thank you, sir!
Again we all know how money hungry business brains work and tend to follow whatever trend they feel can bring in more revenue. So when they see prices rising amidst a global inflation, many will follow suit and raise the prices on their products even if it’s not necessary.
Vultaggio on the other hand isn’t trying to exploit any situation just for the sake of money and it’s a mindset that he’s had for quite some time.
“To me, the worst day as a salesman is to go to a retailer and say, ‘Hey, by the way, I’m raising the price on that can today,” Vultaggio told TODAY.com in 2022. For him, such changes have negative trickle-down effects, which he’s made a point to avoid.
“What you want to do is have a customer come in and get a fair value on a can of tea or juice and then buy other things in your store to offset those costs,” he explained.

If only more business people kept it this real.
That being said we have seen a few spots where a can of Arizona Iced Tea was selling for $1.25. Now we know that wasn’t a price set by the company itself, but the owner of the bodega we happened to step into.
Bastards.

Throughout her career, R&B star Kehlani has spoken up about her identity time and time again. But in a new set of videos posted to her TikTok on Sunday (June 30), the “After Hours” singer shut down anyone who still hasn’t gotten the memo.
In the first clip, the singer spoke about the importance of prioritizing female voices in their life in order to find happiness. “I was bisexual my entire life, and then I came out as a lesbian almost four years ago now,” they said. “But when I realized, recently actually, all of the f–king elevation in my life that has come from de-centering men in every f–king area of it … when I prioritized women and also just centered myself and women? When all the bad b—hes decide what planet we’re going to after we f–k this one, invite me, because I will thrive.”

While most fans in the comments section were supportive, a few began questioning the star’s sincerity, saying that she’d been in multiple relationships with men. So Kehlani made a second video responding to the claims, clapping back at those attempting to invalidate their sexuality.

Trending on Billboard

“Bringing up the fact that I had a child, or bringing up ex-boyfriends from four years ago or before, bringing up situations from when I was 20? I’m 29. I will be 30 next year,” she said. “I don’t know why there’s this inability to fathom that I’m a raging lesbian.”

She continued, adding that her identity as a lesbian naturally bleeds into her artistry. “And yes, my music is gay! Who I perform to and for is the gays,” she said. “And if you’re stuck in the past, it’s between you and your god. If you’re a man still bringing up my ex-boyfriends, just say you want to f–k ’em.”

In a since-deleted TikTok from April 2021, Kehlani let their fans know that they identified as “gay, gay, gay, gay, gay,” adding that it seemed everyone in their life seemed to know already. “When I want to have these heart-to-hearts with my family and my friends, and I’m like, ‘Guys, I finally know that I’m like gay gay,’ and they’re like, ‘We know, duh,’” they said. “I want you to fall on the floor and be like, ‘Congratulations, we had no idea!’”

Kehlani recently debuted her fourth studio album Crash, which officially debuts at No. 25 on the Billboard 200 dated July 6. The album’s lead single “After Hours,” meanwhile, reaches a new high of No. 72 on this week’s Hot 100, just two slots under Jordan Adetunji’s viral single titled “Kehlani.”

It’s been more than a year since Jamie Foxx was hospitalized due to what has so far been an described as a “medical complication.” Though he spent nearly a month in the hospital, the Oscar-winning star has not revealed any details of what crisis he suffered to date.
But in an impromptu scrum outside a hotel in Phoenix recently, Foxx gave a group of fans a few details about how he ended up in the ER. In a clip posted to TikTok by motivational speaker Dr. Brenda Combs, Foxx revealed that he has almost no memory of that time.

“Look, April 11 last year — bad headache. I asked my boy for an Advil,” Foxx said, pausing and then snapping his fingers. “I was gone for 20 days. I don’t remember anything.” He explains that his sister, Diedra Dixon and daughter, Corinne Foxx, took him to a doctor’s office in Atlanta, where he got a cortisone shot. Pointing to his head, Foxx said the doctor told him, “There’s something going on up there.”

Trending on Billboard

Foxx then paused again and said cryptically, “I won’t say what on camera… I don’t want to say it on camera.”

In March, Foxx, 56, said he was getting ready to open up about the health crisis. “Everybody wants to know what happened, and I’m going to tell you what happened. But I’ve gotta do it in my way,” Foxx said at the time. “I’m gonna do it in a funny way. We’re gonna be on the stage. We’re gonna get back to the standup sort of roots.” Foxx teased that the show would be called “What Had Happened Was” and that it will feature “all the things that happened, especially on our side of our community.”

Last July, Foxx posted an emotional video update on his recovery. “I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through. I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates, but to be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that,” Foxx said. “I want you to see me laughing, having a good time partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, television show. I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was gonna make it through.”

Last April, daughter Corinne Foxx announced that her dad had been hospitalized for an undisclosed “medical complication” while filming the Netflix movie Back in Action in Atlanta with Cameron Diaz.

Heat waves have become more frequent over the years, with hot seasons lasting 46 days longer now than they did in the 1960s, according to data collected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Sizzling temperatures may be great for travel, but the sun also makes it easier for your smartphone to overheat, which can lead to damage down the road, like your phone automatically shutting down or, worse, ceasing to work entirely.

What’s notable about the design is its spacesuit-inspire material, which can reflect more than 90% of the heat from the sun away from your device, according to the official product description. There are two sizes to choose from: medium or large, and it’s compatible with both iPhones and Samsung devices for added versatility.

Does a Heat Dissipation Phone Case Work?

While the phone case won’t fully prevent your phone from overheating, the cooling materials (from silicone and Thermoplastic Polyurethane-made cases) will help regulate your device’s temperature and help prevent it from reaching concerning heat levels. The main purpose of a heat dissipation phone case is to regulate the heat by providing airflow and heat-wicking materials to decrease the temperature of your phone.

In addition to providing a layer of protection to your phone, you can also prevent overheating by not leaving your phone out in direct sunlight or in your car on a hot day. Apple warns that smart devices that go over 95 degrees can be at risk for damage.
