Re-creating her flair for style, the Celia Cruz Barbie comes outfitted in a red, lace mermaid dress with silver jewelry, gold heels and Cruz’s signature blond hair.
The doll made its Instagram debut on Sept. 12. “Barbie celebrates the legacy of the Queen of Salsa, with the introduction of our newest #Barbie Inspiring Women doll – Celia Cruz,” reads a post on the Barbie Instagram account.
Mattel first introduced the Celia Cruz Barbie in 2021, although it wasn’t up for sale. Now that the doll is officially out, it’s flying off the shelves. The Celia Cruz Barbie retails for $35, although fans might have trouble finding it in stock for that price. It initially sold out at Mattel, Amazon and Walmart but the doll has been popping up on resell sites such as eBay, Mercari and StockX. As of Thursday (Sept. 21), the Celia Cruz Barbie is available at Amazon (prices may vary).
Last year, Mattel debuted a Gloria Estefan Barbie doll coinciding with Estefan’s 65th birthday and her 1989 hit single “Get on Your Feet.”
Known as “La Reina de la Salsa” (“The Queen of Salsa”), Cruz was born in Havana, Cuba in 1925. She released 75 album and sold more than 10 million records over her 60-year career. The Afro-Cuban singer, who passed away in 2003, won five Grammys, four Latin Grammys and a posthumous Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016.

On Wednesday night’s Watch What Happens Live, Diplo was asked by a pair of fans about Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s divorce and whether he’s spoken to Joe since the news broke.
“I haven’t,” Diplo replied, before host Andy Cohen interjected and brought up how the EDM star “famously” livestreamed Jonas and Turner’s wedding on Instagram.
“Livestreaming had just started happening,” Diplo explained. “I was like, ‘This is the perfect opportunity to livestream something!’ I didn’t know it was a secret … so it was on the news.” The Grammy-winning DJ’s quips drew laughs from both the audience and his fellow interviewee, British singer Rita Ora.
The “Where Are Ü Now” producer went on to clarify that Jonas and Turner had a second wedding — the couple legally married in Las Vegas in May 2019, one month before having a full ceremony with friends and family at Chateau de Tourreau in France — and that he DJed the second wedding for “pretty cheap, maybe for free” to make up for his livestreaming gaffe.
Ultimately, Diplo said, “I wish them all the love,” particularly because they have children: 3-year-old daughter Willa and a 1-year-old daughter born last summer whose name hasn’t been reported.
On Sept. 5, Jonas filed a petition for dissolution of marriage, saying “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.” The day after Jonas filed the petition, the couple released a joint statement on their social media accounts confirming their split. On Thursday (Sept. 21), Turner filed a lawsuit against Jonas demanding the “immediate return of children wrongfully removed or wrongfully retained” to England, where the couple had previously agreed to relocate.
The Jonas Brothers have notched seven top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, including three No. 1s. The Grammy-nominated sibling band has also earned three top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including the 2019 No. 1 hit “Sucker.” Joe Jonas’ band DNCE has charted a pair of projects on the Billboard 200. Their self-titled debut studio album peaked at No. 17 and spawned the Hot 100 top 10 hit “Cake by the Ocean.” As a soloist, Jonas reached No. 15 on the Billboard 200 with his debut album and No. 9 on the Hot 100 with the Camp Rock soundtrack single “This Is Me” (with Demi Lovato).
As a soloist, Diplo has earned one top 10 hit on the Hot 100: his Grammy-winning “Where Are Ü Now” collaboration with Skrillex and Justin Bieber. The renowned DJ has also charted seven titles on the Billboard 200, peaking with 2015’s Skrillex and Diplo Present Jack Ü (No. 26). Diplo has collected a plethora of Billboard chart achievements as a part of Major Lazer, LSD and Silk City.
Watch Diplo recount his memories of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s first wedding above.

Ever dream of rocking out just like Kiss? Well, Gene Simmons and Gibson are making that dream a reality with the launch of their latest collaboration. The two teamed up again for a second iteration of a signature bass guitar approved by the Kiss co-founder.

Whether you’re taking online guitar lessons or have mastered the art, you can jam out with your own Simmons-inspired bass guitar, which takes inspiration for the rock star’s heavily modified 1959 EB-0. Fans may recognize the style as it was based on the “Hard Luck Woman” singer’s 1970 model featuring a sleek all-black shade that’s also the first 30.5” scale bass from the Gibson Custom Shop.
Only 100 of these limited-edition instruments were made, which means you don’t want to debate too long over whether or not to add it to your Kiss merch collection.
If you have tickets to Kiss’ final tour, you most likely won’t be able to bring the guitar into the venue with you, but you can channel your inner Simmons on stage at a local bar or from the comfort of your home.
This isn’t the first time the two have teamed up. Previously, Simmons released a Thunderbird Bass with the iconic Kiss colorings — and it’s still in stock! Plus, if you’re looking for a more wallet-friendly style, it’s currently being offered at half the price of the new model. Click here to snag the deal and see the style up close.

Gibson Custom Gene Simmons EB-0 Bass $6,999

The bridge is more versatile and can be replaced with a high-mass model a-body or as a top-loaded bridge. You’ll also receive a custom hardshell case.

The show was created by Oscar-winner Matthew A. Cherry with other cast members including Brooke Monroe Conaway, Harry Lennix, Loretta Devine and Tamar Braxton.

Britney Spears is coming to a big screen near you. Trafalgar Releasing, Sony Music Entertainment and RCA Records announced on Thursday (Sept. 21) that Spears’ 2002 coming-of-age film Crossroads will return to screens around the world on Oct. 23 and Oct. 25 in support of the pop star’s upcoming tell-all memoir, The Woman in Me (Oct. 24).
The dramedy written by Shonda Rhimes (Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy) and directed by Tamra Davis (CB4, 13) will be back with bonus features never before seen in theaters — including a sing-along to two of Spears’ songs from the film. In the midst of the ongoing Hollywood strike by actors and writers that has stunted the roll-out and promotion of films, TV and streaming shows, the Spears re-release will flood 875 screens in 24 countries just two weeks after Taylor Swift’s anticipated Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour live concert film hits thousands of theaters across North America.
Crossroads – based on a story idea from Spears — also co-stars stars Zoe Saldaña, Taryn Manning, Kim Cattrall and Dan Aykroyd in a tale of three estranged childhood friends (Spears, Manning, Saldaña) who reunite on the night of their high school graduation to dig up their “wish box” and set off on an adventure-filled, cross-country road trip that rekindles their friendship.
“I recently rewatched Crossroads and was so enthralled with the time capsule of nostalgia that this incredible ensemble cast brings to the screen,” director Davis said in a statement. “Britney is absolutely breathtaking to watch, and Shonda is showing us her early expertise in writing complicated female characters.
The movie was former Mickey Mouse Club star Spears’ first feature film role and it initially rolled into theaters when Spears was at the peak of her pop powers, following on the heels of her 2001 Britney album, which spawned the hits “I’m a Slave 4 U” and “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman.” Though critics dismissed the film while praising Spears’ performance, the $12 million film was considered a success at the time thanks to $61.1 million in box office receipts; tickets for the Crossroads re-release will go on sale on Sept. 28.
The Hollywood Reporter also said that in addition to a new line of merch featuring shirts, sweats, jackets and pieces inspired by the film’s wardrobe, RCA Records will release a Crossroads: Special Edition of the soundtrack, with three new Spears remixes: “Overprotected” (Richi Lopez Remix), “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” (Snakehips Remix) and “I Love Rock ‘N Roll” (Frank Walker Remix).
