Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Enjoy Romantic Valentine’s Day Date in Paris: See Photo

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, as they do everything, spent their Valentine’s Day in style. To celebrate the day of love Wednesday (Feb. 14), the couple embarked on a date night in the most romantic city in the world: Paris.

Ri and Rocky enjoyed dinner at César in the French capital, according to People, wearing matching shades. The Fenty mogul sported a champagne-colored skirt and furry wrap, while the “Sundress” rapper stepped out in a brown corduroy jacket, pants and vest set.

The photos show the couple smiling and getting cozy in the restaurant.

The “Umbrella” singer was also in Paris last month for fashion week, where she checked out a Christian Dior runway show.

This year’s V-Day is far from her and Rocky’s first time celebrating the holiday as a couple. The musicians — who share two young sons — have been an item since 2020. In 2022, the “Umbrella” singer shared photos of their Valentine’s celebrations, which featured a bouquet of Lego flowers and dinner with a view.

“Nerdz,” she simply captioned the photos at the time.

In January, while showing off her 2024 Savage X Fenty Valentine’s Day lingerie collection, Ri revealed that, when it comes to her boyfriend, quality time is her love language. “It’s a luxury around these parts, OK?” she said in an Instagram promo video. “I’m busy, big Daddy is busy, and any time someone can carve out a little bit of time for me, I feel really special.”

5 Best-Selling Red Lipsticks to Buy for Valentine’s Day & Beyond

It’s easy to pile up on lipsticks when shopping for new makeup — but with Valentine’s Day on Wednesday (Feb. 14), it’s time to edit your collection. One easy way to get started: stick with specific colors.

See latest videos, charts and news

In the world of lipsticks, certain colors are considered more iconic than others. Standing the test of time essentially means that no matter what year we happen to be in, that lipstick shade never goes out of style. And red lipstick definitely fits the bill.

Taylor Swift loves a red lip (courtesy of Pat McGrath Labs) and she’s definitely not alone. Red is known as the first lipstick color ever invented, which is probably why it’s become a staple in any lipstick collection. To help you make pick the perfect lipstick, we rounded up a handful of beloved red lipsticks that you need to buy for Valentine’s Day and beyond.

Trending on Billboard

Whether you are new to makeup or are adding to an already-robust collection, check below for a list of classic red lipsticks that range in price from $4 and up.

If you’re looking for an affordable option that will last on your lips, NYX’s Butter Gloss in red velvet is a solid choice. The butter gloss has great coverage and comes in a range of fiery reds, show-stopping pinks and other gorgeous shades.

A bright, matte lipstick that pops! NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment is available in 18 different colors but we’re especially fond of the “Don’t Stop” — a show-stopping, fire engine red shade that will turn heads wherever you go.

If you’re looking for a something similar to NARS, but slightly cheaper, Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick is a good choice. The $20 liquid lipstick features a matte finish and it’s “super long lasting,” as the customer reviews note.

Charlotte Tilbury’s Matte Revolution Hydrating Lipstick boasts a deliciously, rich color with a hydrating formula. Customers are in love with the shade, “Hollywood Vixen” and the lipstick’s easy application. “I adore this red lipstick!! The color is beautiful and it goes on so smoothly! The blue-red color is so flattering and I think it would look perfect on anyone,” reads one customer review.

Amazon shoppers might be obsessed with Maybelline’s Super Stay Matte Liquid Lipstick. The No.1 bestseller has earned over 147,000 customer ratings and 4.4 stars. Most of the customer reviews rave about the long lasting, matte color (the liquid lipstick comes in a bunch of different shades beyond red).

Madison Beer Talks Partnering With JBL & Taking Fans Behind the Scenes of Her New Tour: ‘I Can’t Wait’

Madison Beer is partnering with JBL to give fans exclusive access to her upcoming tour, the audio brand announced Tuesday (Feb. 13).

Beer will create custom content for fans including exclusive, behind-the-scenes moments and share her tour experiences — all while keeping her JBL PartyBox speaker and favorite JBL headphones in tow.

“I’ve always had JBL speakers on set with me, or when I’m getting glam for things, so when this partnership came about, I was like, ‘This feels so organic,’” the singer told Billboard in an interview last week.

Trending on Billboard

“Partnering with a company that really is so focused on elevating sound and music is so important to me.”

JBL unveiled a new fleet of speakers and accessories in January. The lineup includes the JBL PartyBox Club 120, JBL PartyBox Stage 320 and JBL PartyBox Wireless Mic.

The JBL PartyBox Club 120 is $499.95 at Amazon, JBL PartyBox Club 320 is $649.95 and JBL PartyBox Wireless Mic is $119.95. The new products will be released on April 21 at JBL.com and Amazon.

“The PartyBox is definitely my favorite when I have friends over and we’re doing karaoke,” Beer said of her top JBL products. “It’s super fun and I’m so lucky that I got to use [the new PartyBox speaker] before it’s even out.

“The JBL Clip has always been a staple for me, because I’m very forgetful and being able to just, like, put it on my purse or put it on something like my jeans, it’s really great,” Beer added. “I love all the speakers. They’re really good, but the Clip is my favorite.”

The JBL PartyBox Club 120 features up to 12 hours of playtime and up to 24 hours when you swap out the replaceable battery. Delivering JBL’s signature deep bass and powerful, the PartyBox Club 120 is equipped with two microphone inputs, one guitar input and strobe light effects that you can sync to the music.

“It’s honestly insane. It’s huge,” Beer said of the speaker. “If you’re having a party and you need everyone to hear the music, it’s the perfect [speaker].”

The PartyBox Stage 320 is equipped with dual, 6.5-inch woofers and 25mm dome tweeters, plus guitar and mic inputs, up to 18 hours of playtime (double that with the swappable battery) and quick-charging technology that gives you two hours of playtime after just 10 minutes of charging.

Both PartyBox speakers feature AI Sound Boost technology which ”analyzes audio in real time with an AI algorithm to optimize the acoustic output level,” according to JBL.

The PartyBox Wireless Mic is compatible with both speakers and features up to 20 hours of playtime and a rechargeable battery. All of the new products are made with recycled plastic.

Beer will host an intimate event in New York City on May 18 to launch the new JBL PartyBox series lineup. The event will be held during the New York City stop on The Spinnin Tour and fans will have the chance to win tickets and JBL products. The brand will host activations in New York City on May 17 and 18 to celebrate the new products.

The Spinnin Tour launches in Stockholm, Sweden, on Feb. 24 and will stop in several countries including Norway, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Austria, Italy, the U.K. and Spain. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster, StubHub and Vivid Seats.

“We’re in rehearsals right now, just getting through these songs and it’s amazing, I can’t wait for people to hear it,” said Beer. The U.S. leg kicks off on April 24 and will stop in Chicago, Nashville, Detroit, Washington D.C., New York City, Toronto, Canada, Boston and other cities.

Beer also released a new single, “Make You Mine,” on Feb. 9. “It’s my favorite song I’ve made to date,” she revealed. “It’s just so fun, such a feel-good song. It’s sexy, it’s infectious. I haven’t played it for anyone that hasn’t just like [started] dancing and felt immediately hotter after listening to it, and that’s always how I want to make people feel.”

Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre Reunite to Launch ‘Gin & Juice’ Cocktails

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre have been sipping on “Gin and Juice” for 30 years, and now, they’re teaming up to launch a cocktail in honor of their collaborative anthem.

The West Coast rap legends joined forces on the heels of their Super Bowl LVIII afterparty performance to announce the Gin & Juice canned cocktail drinks, which began shipping to potential U.S. distributors on Monday (Feb. 12).

See latest videos, charts and news

Gin & Juice will be available in four flavors: apricot, citrus, melon and passion fruit. After shaking up the music world, Snoop and Dre are looking to make a dent in the spirits industry with help from record executive powerhouse Jimmy Iovine, who is an investor in the endeavor.

“Together, we always try to create magic. We’re having fun being creative, and everything about this product is really us,” Dr. Dre said in a statement. “There’s passion behind it, and friendship and love and a culture. We’re shooting to make everything we do magnificent, and fortunately, most of the time we hit the target.”

While Snoop added of entering the cocktail space: “Look where we’re at in our careers. Look at our age and look at what we’ve done, and we still love each other, so why not do something together? A lot of times people have been in a relationship for 30 years and can’t talk to each other, can’t hang out, so it’s just fun to be in a partnership with people that you actually love.”

Dr. Dre teased the launch of Gin & Juice with a commercial posted to social media over the weekend ahead of the Super Bowl, during which Snoop starred in an ad for Skechers.

The pair of hip-hop OGs have an extensive collaborative history that’s spilled into the business world. “Gin and Juice” landed on Snoop’s acclaimed Doggystyle debut in 1993, and the funky anthem became the album’s second single in January 1994.

“Gin and Juice” carried its momentum to the Grammy Awards, where the laid-back tune was nominated in the best rap solo performance category. The Dr. Dre-produced hit peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1994.

As for the Gin & Juice drinks, fans can expect the gin-based cocktails to hit liquor store shelves from now through the spring. Package sizes and retail prices are not yet known.

Nicki Nicole Hints at Peso Pluma Breakup: ‘When … There Is No Respect, I Don’t Stay’

Nicki Nicole and Peso Pluma have appeared to call it quits. At least that’s what the Argentine rapper and singer hinted at with a blunt statement she shared on social media after also removing photos of her and the Mexican star from her Instagram account.

See latest videos, charts and news

“Respect is a necessary part of love,” Nicole posted on an Instagram Story on Tuesday (Feb. 13). “What is loved, is respected. What is respected, is cared for. When you are not cared for and there is no respect, I don’t stay there. I leave. It is with great sorrow that I found out the same way you did, thank you for the love you are sending me.”

Her post comes just a day after a video of Peso appearing to hold hands with another woman in Las Vegas over Super Bowl weekend surfaced online. Nicki Nicole’s team decline to offer any additional statement beyond what she posted on social media. Billboard reached out to Peso’s team for comment, but did not hear back by press time.

In October, Nicole joined Peso Pluma on the Billboard Latin Music Awards stage to perform their 2023 collab “Por Las Noches.” The pair made their red carpet debut as a couple a month later at the Latin Grammys in Spain, where they spoke to Billboard about a potential new collaboration.

“We have been in the studio together, to be honest, and there’s a lot of chemistry there, too,” Nicki Nicole said a joint interview at the time with Peso. “When you mix the personal and musical sides, amazing things happen. We love each other on a personal level and we really do respect each other on a musical level, so there’s a unique chemistry in the studio. We work together because we enjoy it more so than doing it just to do a song.”

The two recently attended the 66th Grammy Awards on Feb. 4, where Peso won best música mexicana album (including tejano) for Génesis. A few days later, they were also spotted at a basketball game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

Usher Adds Dates to Past Present Future Tour: Where to Get Tickets & How Much They Cost

After conquering Las Vegas, Usher is officially taking his show on the road, and fans can’t wait to see him live. Presale tickets for the R&B star’s Past Present Future Tour, announced earlier in the week, went on sale on Friday (Feb. 9).

General onsale starts on Monday (Feb. 12) at 10 a.m. local time.

The tour launches on Aug. 20 in Washington D.C. and will make stops in Boston, Philadelphia, Oakland, Calif., Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami and other cities before coming to a close in Chicago on Oct. 31. The tour has been extended due to “overwhelming demand,” Usher revealed Thursday in a post on X.

The “Good Good” singer added extra shows to most of the cities on the tour, including Washington D.C., Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, Boston, Brooklyn, Miami, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Charlotte, N.C.

A select number of tickets are currently available on resale sites such as Vivid Seats, StubHub, SeatGeek, Viagogo and GameTime. Prices range from around $100-$125 on the low end to over $1,000 for VIP tickets.

How to Get Tickets on Ticketmaster

Ticketmaster’s presale is happening now. The lowest prices that we’ve seen online range from around $725 to more than $1,000 for opening night in Washington D.C. and Usher’s shows in Los Angeles in September.

Tickets for later dates on the tour, such as Sept. 13 in Detroit and Sep. 29 in Oakland, are priced at $482-$595. Most of the VIP presale tickets are currently priced at more than $1,000 at Ticketmaster.

Fans can also purchase VIP experience packages like the Ultimate Meet & Greet Experience, which includes one premium reserved ticket in the first three rows, a VIP host, light snacks, desserts and beverages, a ride share voucher, early access to shop show merchandise, an exclusive VIP tour poster and VIP gift, and of course, you’ll get to meet Usher and take a photo.

The Diamond Barstool, Onstage Photo and VIP Lounge Experience and Gold Hightop Table & VIP Lounge Experience includes group photo opportunities and special seating in the VIP Bar section.

How to Get Tickets on Vivid Seats

Looking for the cheap tickets to see Usher? At Vivid Seats, you’ll find resale tickets for under $100, though most tickets are around $125 and up for general admission and around $1,000-$1,500 for VIP. Use code: BB2024 to save $20 off ticket orders of $200 or more.

How to Get Tickets on StubHub

StubHub is a great resource for last-minute, cheap tickets — but the key to getting the best deal is striking at the right time. In this case, it’s better to secure your tickets as soon as possible as ticket demand will likely spike following Usher’s Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday (Feb. 11).

Tickets on StubHub are priced as low as $89, but most of the cheaper tickets fall in the $100-$150 range. VIP tickets are priced from around $800 to more than $6,000.

Which tickets are the most expensive? Certain cities will cost you more than others. For example, Usher’s shows in Atlanta are some of fastest-selling tickets at StubHub and more expensive than some of the other cities on the tour. Right now, tickets for Atlanta range from as low as $270 for general admission to over $9,000 for VIP.

How to Get Tickets on SeatGeek

SeatGeek is serving up some of the cheapest ticket prices that we’ve seen for Usher’s tour. Prices range from $65 to $246 for general admission. VIP packages range from $383-$3,963 (take $10 off eligible purchases of $250+ with code BILLBOARD10. Valid on first purchase only).

GameTime is another site that has reasonably-priced Usher tickets starting as low as $86 for select dates. But no matter how you score tickets, you’ll probably end up spending at least $200-$300 for a good view of the stage, and even more for VIP.

Usher has a busy performance schedule ahead. Before kicking off the Past Present Future Tour, the Grammy winner will headline the Lovers & Friends Festival in Las Vegas in May.

The coveted tumbler has been viral for several months, but the Stanley cup obsession hit a fever pitch over the holiday season, and celebrities seem to be on board. Olivia Rodrigo, Adele and Carrie Underwood are some of the stars who have been spotted with the Stanley cup.

The Stanley Quencher H.20 Tumbler keeps your beverages hot or cold for hours at a time, and iced for up to two days. (It even kept a drink cold in a car fire.)

Made from recycled stainless steel, the 40-ounce tumbler features a double-wall vacuum insulation, a trademarked FlowState screw-on lid; a reusable straw with an ergonomic, easy-to-carry handle and a slender base that slides easily into any car cup holder.

Similar to other limited releases, the hot pink Stanley cup and the cherry red Stanley x Starbucks Tumbler Mug, the fuchsia Stanley Quencher will be available only for a limited time at REI, with a limit of two per customer. If you miss that chance to grab one at REI, you can find the fuchsia Stanley cup at Stanley1913.com.

Stanley cups are also available at several retailers, including Amazon, Nordstrom, Target and Dick’s Sporting Goods, and resale sites such as StockX. Not interested in a Stanley tumbler? See our roundup of Stanley cup alternatives here.
