Years before Rihanna was the mother of two, Ethan Hawke very publicly tried to shoot his shot with the “Rude Boy” singer at the 2015 NBA All-Star game. The photo of the incident went viral at the time after Hawke very slickly traded places with his son in the front row at the game and was photographed leaning wayyy back in his chair and chatting Rihanna up.
“I’ve been caught by the paparazzi openly flirting with Rihanna,” the actor said, with his daughter, Maya Hawke, correcting him by noting that he was “openly trying to” flirt with the singer. “Trying to flirt,” he agreed, “and that’s been to the family shame.” Maya tried to bail him out by saying, “no, it’s family pride.”

Hawke posted a picture of the incident on Instagram in which his son is doing a face palm motion while watching his dad chat up the music superstar, with the actor captioning the pics, “after Rihanna’s brilliant half time performance, I’m hoping my son can find it in his heart to forgive a Dad for taking his moment.”

The revelation came during a game of “How well do Ethan & Maya Hawke really know each other” in a bit for Variety, in which dear old dad totally blew it when asked what Maya’s first school play was — it was Jenny in Jenny and the School for Cats, not the Artful Dodger in Oliver. The father-daughter pair are promoting the new movie Wildcat, in which Ethan directs Maya as author Flannery O’Connor (A Good Man Is Hard To Find and Other Stories) in a chronicle of her attempt to get her first novel published. The chat heated up when the interviewer asked if Ethan would rather see RihRih or Lady Gaga in concert.

Maya had a very fast answer for that one, because that information is “really available online,” she smirked in reference to the flirty pics. While Ethan said “both,” his daughter corrected him, saying the answer was “RihRih by a long shot.” To be fair, Ethan said he’s been to a Gaga show, but really would like to see Rihanna live sometime. Then, in a total dad moment, Ethan said he remembers taking Maya to see Lady Gaga once, with his daughter correcting him by noting that they went to see Madonna and Gaga was sitting near them at the show.

“We did have an amazing year where we went to see Madonna, Taylor [Swift] and Adele, and it was highly educational, very motivational year for me,” said Maya, who is also a recording artist who released her Moss album last year. If you’re keeping score, Ethan kind of got it when asked to name the fist song Maya ever wrote, remembering that the tune was written at their family home in Nova Scotia, though she was a bit fuzzy on how many Oscar nominations her dad has had (the answer is four, if you’re keeping score).

Watch the Hawke’s discuss the Rihanna incident below.

The best music is meant to be experienced, and you can’t do that with a lot of noise and distractions buzzing around in the background. That’s why more and more people are switching from their generic wired headphones to a pair of good active noise-canceling (ANC) headphones.

Most ANC headphones will cost you into the hundreds of dollars, but right now, a surprise Amazon sale gets you the Soundcore by Anker Life Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones for just $44.99.

Amazon

Soundcore by Anker Life Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones
$44.99 $59.99 25% OFF

The Soundcore by Anker Life Q20 Headphones deliver hi-res music in crisp, clear detail, thanks to the Q20’s 40mm drivers. In terms of over-ear headphones, the brand’s BassUp technology is almost unmatched as it aims to conduct real-time analysis of low frequencies and strengthen bass output as needed. You can also customize your listening experience by double pressing the play button for an amplified listening experience — especially when jamming to genres such as EDM or hip-hop.

Ultimately, what you’re buying these headphones for, though, is their advanced noise-canceling technology. Anker’s headphones feature dual noise-detecting microphones that pick up and filter out up to 90% of ambient sound to ensure that nothing distracts you from your music.

The Anker Life Q20 deliver a whopping 40 hours of playtime in noise-canceling mode. Turn off ANC and get up to 60 hours. Need a quick boost? A short, five-minute charge gets you up to four hours of listening time.

The Anker noise-canceling headphones have a 4.5-star rating (out of five) with more than 47,000 five-star reviews. One shopper has even claimed the design and listening experience makes them “way better than AirPods.

This $45 deal not only gets you the Anker Life Q20 active noise-canceling headphones, but includes ultra-soft memory foam and protein leather earpads, charging cables and a travel case.

The cheaper among the two, the Elite 8 Active retails for $199, while the Elite 10 is priced at $249 at major retailer such as Amazon, Best Buy and Jabra.com.

Jabra Elite 8 come equipped with six-mic call technology, wind-noise protecting mesh, stable smartwatch connectivity, Google Assistant, Fast Pair, Swift Pair, Spotify Tap and up to eight hours of battery life (32 hours with a splashproof case).

Jabra

Jabra Elite 8 Active
$199

They hold up well in the gym or exercise environment, but they’re also suitable for work, and you can get them in four colors: navy, dark gray, caramel and black.

Jabra’s Elite earbuds feature spatial sound, Jabra Advanced Active Noise Cancellation, Dolby Atmos and HearThrough technology, and they’re incredibly durable and comfortable to wear for hours at a time due to Jabra’s ShakeGrip and ComfortFit technology.

The Elite 8 earbuds are IP68 waterproof rated and can be submerged in water up to 1.5 meters deep (nearly five feet). They can take on a rain, sweat, humidity, high temperatures and other elements, and have passed 11 full cycles of testing, according to a news release. The testing included two hours in 104-degree Fahrenheit temperatures with 93 percent humidity, a 15-minute splash test in salt water, and a 15 minute, 104-degree Fahrenheit heat drying test.

Having tested out both earbuds, the Elite 10 made me forget about my AirPods Pro, which doesn’t happen often, but the sound quality, fit and battery life earned high marks on my list. I also like how easily they pair with my iPhone, and they feel incredibly smooth to the touch, almost velvety.  

They’re my favorite earbuds to use right now, and a personal frontrunner between the two Jabra earbuds and Jabra vs. AirPods (not getting rid of my AirPods anytime soon though). According to Jabra, the Elite 10 uses “infrasonic waves that measure the ear canal and algorithms which detect noise leakage and wind conditions” and auto adjusts ANC based on your surroundings.  

Jabra’s Elite 10 are the brand’s first earbuds to support Dolby Head Tracking (the sound adjusts when you turn your head). And they’re “optimized for enjoying content in Dolby Atmos,” which basically means they sound amazing when you’re listening to music and even better when that music is recorded in Dolby Atmos.  

Jabra 10 also utilizes six-mic call technology for crystal-clear calls, along with Bluetooth Multipoint connection and hands-free voice assistance, and the battery lasts for up to six hours (27 hours with case). The earbuds are available in cocoa, cream, black, matte black and titanium black.

The Garmin Venu 3 was released on Wednesday (Aug. 30) and has been upgraded with new features that’ll not only keep track of your daily distance, but will be able to tell when you’ve napped and how it impacts your energy for the rest of the day. As a more evolved feature, the latest model includes wheelchair mode, which can track the number of pushes rather than steps you take in a day. Plus, you won’t have to worry about charging it often as it’s designed to last up to 14 days without a charge.

You can choose between the Venu 3 or the Venu 3S — a smaller version of the Venu 3 that offers improved sleep tracking — depending on your needs and style preferences.

Drake It’s All a Blur Tour Tickets
$262

Drake’s Vancouver concerts were initially scheduled to launch on Monday. “We back on my side now,” he posted on Instagram earlier in the week.

Unfortunately, the concert was postponed at the last minute, due to “unforeseen circumstances” at Rogers Arena.

“Drake was ready and excited to perform. He is looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday and Wednesday. Rogers Arena apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause,” the venue said in a statement.

The Toronto native performed in Montreal in July and will make another stop in Canada, this time in his hometown, for back-to-back concerts at Scotiabank Arena on Oct. 6 and 7.

Drake and 21 Savage announced their 28-date, joint tour in March. The duo added another 12 dates to the schedule in April.

The It’s All a Blur tour, which was postponed for about a week before kicking off in Chicago on July 5 and scrapping a show in Memphis, has made stops in Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Detroit, New York, Washington D.C. and Columbus, Ohio. The trek heads to Las Vegas on Sept. 1-2, Glendale, Ariz. on Sept. 5-6, and Denver on Sept. 8.

Other tour stops include Atlanta, Miami, Houston and Nashville.
