Don’t call it a birthday, dahhlings! Mariah Carey celebrated her latest “anniversary” on Monday (March 27) with a trip to quite the tropical locale.
Though the Elusive Chanteuse didn’t reveal where she’s vacationing, she did post a fun video of herself marking the day by casually jumping off the side of her yacht. “Celebratory splash at 3:27 on 3.27!” she captioned the clip set to the Def Club Mix of her 1997 No. 1 single “Honey.” After landing in the clear blue water, the superstar showed off her mermaid skills in a pink and black wetsuit and modern shades.
A few hours later, Carey shared another clip showing a shark swimming right next to the yacht. “Wait look! It’s a shark in the water, you guys! Hello!” she shouts to everyone else on the boat.
“Oh my gosh, I’ve been swimming with sharks my whole life and I still am,” she continued, before putting on a posh accent to implore, “Please, Mr. Shark, don’t hurt me, baby!”
Mariah certainly seemed to feel the love from the Lambily throughout the day, tweeting, “Sitting here looking at all these videos and comments..I promise you I’m by myself sitting on the stairs in tears of happiness like..OMG the lambs have always been and still are UNPARALLELED!!!!! ‘Please make a note of it!’” and later adding, “I want to like and repost and comment on every one of your tweets!!!! It’s so overwhelming in a positive way” with a series of crying emojis.
To prove her point about how she views birthdays, the icon also shared a fan account’s tweet using a resurfaced interview in which she explains, “I don’t have birthdays. No, well, I just have anniversaries. I decided to do that. And I’ve noticed that people who decide not to have birthdays, they just don’t have them.”
Get a look at how Mariah spent her “anniversary,” “shark moment” and all, below.

Shawn Mendes got a little too much sun on his recent trip to Mexico. The 24-year-old pop star posted a series of photos from his time in the country Sunday (March 26), including a couple snapshots showing off his buff upper body glowing a painful-looking shade of red.
One of the captionless photos shows the “Señorita” singer from the front, laughing off the sting of his scorched skin. Another shows him in the same spot, facing away from the camera, the outline of a tank top temporarily stamped on his back.
Mendes also shared photos of the sights he explored in Mexico City, including the pyramids of Teotihuacan, a street musician and a cluttered bookstore. The sunburn photos definitely got the most attention from friends and followers though, with One Republic’s Ryan Tedder commenting, “Protek that skin bruhhhh.”
The Grammy nominee’s brush with strong UV waves isn’t the first time he’s faced the elements recently. Shortly after the winter holidays, he took an underwear-only dip into an ice cold river and posted a video of the adventure to Instagram.
The musician’s trip to Mexico comes just a few days after he denied rumors he’s dating Sabrina Carpenter, with whom he’s been photographed a couple times in the past month or so. “We are not dating but I think we should talk about Tommy Hilfiger probably more than Sabrina,” he reportedly told RTL Boulevard during an interview about his recent Tommy X Shawn Classics Reborn collection with the designer.
Harry Styles is doing some late-night talking with someone new, apparently. The pop star was just spotted getting up close and personal with model, actress and author Emily Ratajkowski on a recent trip to Japan, and naturally, the internet is undergoing a volcanic eruption of emotions in response.
It’s not unlike the deluge of reactions that flooded Twitter more than two years ago, when Styles was first confirmed to be dating his Don’t Worry Darling director and costar, Olivia Wilde. The two were together up until just a few months ago, when it was revealed in November that the pair had gone their separate ways.
Now, it looks like the “As It Was” singer is moving on. He and Ratajkowski — who was linked to comedian Eric André as recently as last month — were filmed kissing against the side of a car during a rainy day in Tokyo, where Styles just closed out the Asian leg of his ongoing Love on Tour with two shows at Ariake Arena Friday (March 24) and Saturday (March 25).
By strange coincidence, the footage surfaced on the exact date — March 25 — that Zayn Malik broke hearts across the globe by announcing his departure from One Direction
Reactions to footage of the new romance ranged from happy for the potential new couple to heartbroken that Styles may once again be off the market. But overall, the unifying feeling was one of pure shock. “Just saw harry styles passionately making out with emily ratajkowski… i can’t breathe,” one fan tweeted.
“harry are you dating emily ratajkowski? it’s not really my business i’m only 14 and stuff but i have always thought that we were going to get married,” joked another.
Some were excited for the new pairing, with one fan tweeting, “emrata and harry styles honestly power couple.”
See some of the best fan reactions below:

After taking a brief social media break in late February in the midst of reports of her alleged feud with Hailey Bieber, Selena Gomez posted an urgent message on her Instagram Story on Friday (March 24) imploring fans to cool down the heated rhetoric.
The note began with the news that Bieber — who is married to Justin Bieber, an ex of Gomez’s — had recently reached out to the Only Murders in the Building star to let her know that she’d been receiving death threats and “such hateful negativity.”
“This isn’t what I stand for,” Gomez said unequivocally. “No one should have to experience hate or bullying. I’ve always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop.”
In February, Gomez used TikTok to announce that she was getting off social media for the foreseeable future. “I’m good. I love who I am, I don’t care. I’m big, I’m not, I don’t care. I love who I am,” she wrote at the time. The announcement came the same day Gomez unseated Kylie Jenner as the most followed woman on Instagram with more than 380 million followers. She has since surpassed 400 million followers on the platform.
Gomez was back on social media a week later with an important message in the midst of the swirling rumors about the rumored feud with the model. “Please, please be kinder and consider others mental health,” the singer-actress commented on TikTok. “My heart has been heavy and I only want good for everyone. All my love.” The note came shorty after Gomez took Jenner’s Insta crown, with the lip-kit mogul seemingly getting pulled into the purported drama after Gomez shared in a Feb. 22 TikTok that she’d over-laminated her eyebrows.
That was followed by Jenner sharing a photo with longtime pal Hailey holding the camera close to her own professional-looking eyebrows. Selenators didn’t think it was a coincidence, but Jenner said it was. “This is reaching,” the Kardashians star commented about the situation on a TikTok. “No shade towards selena ever and I didn’t see her eyebrow posts! u guys are making something out of nothing. this is silly.”
The Grammy- and Emmy-nominated singer-actress then replied in agreement to Jenner’s comment and said she was “a fan of Kylie.” Gomez then left comments on fan-made TikToks shading Bieber. “I love you,” she commented to one who slammed the model for being a “nepo baby” and a “mean girl.”
Then, after a resurfaced video of Hailey pretending to gag at the mention of Taylor Swift’s music made the rounds, Gomez replied, “So sorry, my best friend is and continues to be one of the best in the game.” When the comments became overheated, Gomez said on Feb. 23 that she was taking an internet break. She said on TikTok: “I’m 30, I’m too old for this.”
Rauw Alejandro and Rosalía appeared to announce their engagement in the sweetest (and most creative) of ways. The news was revealed in new music video for “Beso” from their three-track joint EP RR, out Friday (March 24).
The visual features a joyous collage of beautiful moments the couple has spent together during their three-year relationship traveling the world. At the end of the clip, when the music fades at the 3:15 minute mark, viewers see a teary-eyed Rosalía flaunting her diamond ring while holding the box on her other hand. “Oh my god, and my mascara is all runny now. I love you,” she says in a shaky voice before kissing Rauw.
Representatives for Rosalía declined to confirm the news. A representative for Alejandro did not immediately respond to a message from Billboard Español.
The EP marks the first time that the couple has recorded songs together, after months of hinting at a potential collaboration. In November, the Spanish hitmaker teased that the pair had been in the studio together without saying too much. We’ll see, we’ll see,” she said.
Cardi B congratulated the couple on her Instagram Stories, reposting a screenshot of Rosalía wearing her engagement ring. The “WAP” rapper wrote on the Story, “So adorable almost made me cry.”
In an interview with YouTuber Ibai on March 20, the starry-eyed couple complimented each other’s unique style and approach to music while they spoke about their upcoming release. But the sweetest part of it was their clear love for each other.
“The men I’ve had around me in my live were very emotionally unavailable,” Rosalia said. “You were the first time for me that I didn’t feel that. I felt that you were not afraid to love and be loved.” Rauw responded by leaning in for a kiss.
Rauw has tattooed the name of Rosalía on his abdomen with her actual writing, and she has both of their initials — RR — inked on the sole of her foot.
Watch the music video for “Beso” above.
Doja Cat is a new woman. In a series of tweets, the 27-year-old rap star shared that she’s days into the recovery process following a breast reduction and liposuction procedure.
The musician first updated fans on March 20 by simply tweeting that she’d gotten work done on her chest, which many of her followers automatically assumed meant she’d augmented her breasts to be larger. However, Doja quickly clarified that she’d actually done the opposite.
“nope. smaller,” she replied to one fan, revealing in another tweet that her new bra size is 32C.
The “Kiss Me More” artist also gave an update on how she’s feeling post-op, tweeting that she “feels ok.” “My thighs hurt a lot if i move too much,” she added. “but im healing really fast.”
And when one commenter suggested that “Lipo is when fat is transferred from 1 area to another,” Doja countered: “No it is not, dear. That is called a fat transfer. I did not get a fat transfer.”
She also told fans in a NSFW tweet on March 21 that her breasts look really “good” now.
The Grammy winner’s updates come about four months after she revealed in late November that she’d be having surgery “this winter.” “I just want my [breasts] pulled up cuz some of my tops don’t fit the way i want them to,” she tweeted at the time.
Between then and now, Doja made a couple headline-making appearances at Paris Fashion Week — at one point wearing a jaw-dropping look for which every visible inch of her skin was covered with red Swarovski crystals — before attending the Grammys in February.
See Doja Cat’s tweets about her recent procedures below:

Now that spring has sprung, it’s a good time to start cleaning up your collection of vinyl records. It’s no secret that vinyl records are hotter than ever, and regardless of whether you have a huge record collection or a small one, it’s good to keep them clean and organized.

Just like any other forms of physical media, vinyl records need to be kept clean so that they work properly. Fingerprints, dust and scratches can damage the surface of the record itself, which can diminish the sound and add unwanted noise. Even natural oils from your hands can erode the surface of your vinyl records.
When it comes to cleaning your vinyls, there are special solutions, vinyl record brushes and cleaning kits that are designed to keep your records in pristine shape. For example, the Vinyl Buddy record cleaning kit ($20) has a near-perfect customer rating on Amazon and you’ll get a lot of items for a decent price.

Amazon
Vinyl Buddy Record Cleaner Kit 5 Piece Ultimate Cleaning System – Velvet Brush – Nylon Microfiber Brush – Stylus Brush – LP Cleaning Solution – Storage Pouch
$21.99 $31.95 31% OFF
The five-piece kit comes with a velvet brush, microfiber brush, stylus brush, cleaning solution and a storage pouch. The Groove Washer Walnut Record Cleaning Kit ($39.95) is another favorite of music lovers.
For something easier and possibly cheaper, depending on what you already have around the house, you can always go for Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner and water. Not familiar with Simple Green? It’s a natural, all-purpose cleaning solution that works on just about everything. From surfaces to soft carpets, Simple Green is designed to remove direct grease and stains on countertops, floors, fabric, equipment, vehicles and more. And it’s gentle enough to use on your vinyl records.
Simple Green retails for about $2-$5 for a 32-ounce spray bottle and around $10 for a gallon. You can get it at Amazon, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s and other retailers.
To clean your vinyl records, grab a microfiber cleaning cloth to remove the dust and static from the record. Next, dampen a clean microfiber cloth (preferably with distilled water) and lightly wipe the record surface in a circular motion — but steer clear of the middle of the record. Next, add a splash of Simple Green (the company recommends a 1:30 ratio) to a bowl of water and clean the record following the same circular motion as the earlier steps. Lastly, grab a dry microfiber cloth to dry the vinyl record (you can also use compressed air to blow away any residual dust).
After your record is clean, all that’s left to do is enjoy the music! Just make sure to check the needle on your record player so that there’s no leftover dust particles that could distort the sound.

Nick Cannon looked back on his relationship with Mariah Carey in a new interview.
“Like the greatest? I mean, I always talk about that. Then it goes viral, and our fans get mad at me,” he told The Shade Room when asked about the love of his life. “But I was 12 years old with Mariah Carey pictures on my wall, and that becomes my wife. And the fact that she’s the coolest person I ever met.”
The former couple split in 2016 after eight years of marriage, but Cannon still has nothing but glowing words to say about the superstar singer. “I get a lot of this delightful disposition from her. She’s just always happy, always doing for others. No matter what’s happening in life. I’m like, ‘Wow, a person can really operate like that and don’t allow negative energy into their space.’ When I found that out, about how remarkable she was, that woman is not human. She’s a gift from God.”
Cannon and Carey share 11-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe — known by the Lambily as Dem Babies. Since his split from Mimi, the host of The Masked Singer has also welcomed 10 other kids with five different women as part of his belief in consensual non-monogamy.
He’s even parlaying his reputation for baby-making into a new game show called Who’s Having My Baby With Nick Cannon. Hosted by his pal Kevin Hart, the series is tentatively set to premiere sometime this spring on E!.
Watch Cannon gush over Mariah below.
Jennifer Hudson took to social media on Tuesday (March 14) to wished Common a happy birthday amid chatter the pair may have sparked a romance.
“Team Jhud pls help me wish one of the brightest lights, a Chicago and hip hop legend, the one and only @common a very happy birthday on today!” the Jennifer Hudson Show host captioned a March 13 Instagram post alongside a smiling photo of herself and rapper.
Fans were quick to speculate about the pair’s prospective relationship status in the comments. “Is that a ‘Soft Launch Insta Offical,’” one wrote using a trio of winking emojis, while another questioned, “Is this confirmation or naw[?]”
“Oh so he BEEN in the picture huh,” a fan page speculated. A separate follower commented, “I don’t know but I heard on TMZ that Common is your new bew.” (Back in late February, the gossip site reported that Hudson and Common were spotted going out on a dinner date at Malibu hot spot Nobu.)
Common, who the American Idol alum tagged, shared her post in his Instagram Stories. “Thank You!” he wrote.
On her eponymous talk show, which has been renewed for a second season by Warner Bros. Discovery, Hudson has recently welcomed both DJ Khaled and Paula Abdul. The We the Best producer dished on picking the title for his most recent album God Did after receiving a particularly disappointing phone call, and the original American Idol judge looked back on Hudson’s controversial elimination from the reality juggernaut in seventh place back in Season 3.
For his part, Common most recently made his Broadway debut at the end of 2022 in Between Riverside and Crazy at Second Stage Theater.
Check out Hudson’s sweet birthday post for Common on her Instagram.
