Snoop Dogg Pays Homage to His Hometown in ‘The Underdoggs’: How to Stream the Sports Comedy for Free

Everybody loves an underdog. Snoop Dogg pays homage to his hometown of Long Beach, Calif., in the sports comedy The Underdoggs, premiering Friday (Jan. 26) on Prime Video.

Snoop stars as Jaycen “Two Js” Jennings, a former NFL player who gets sentenced to community service after a car accident. To stay out of jail, Jennings agrees to coach a youth football team in his hometown.

The Underdoggs was filmed at Snoop’s former high school, Long Beach Poly High, in his hometown of Long Beach, Calif.

“Poly High School, the Funkhouse, this is the most prolific high school in Southern California as far as I’m concerned when you think about the greats that have come through that campus,” Snoop said in an interview with the Press-Telegram, his hometown newspaper.

The rapper went on to name some of the many famous faces (besides himself) that attended Poly over the years, including John Wayne, Billie Jean King, Cameron Diaz, Carl Weathers, Tony Gwynn and Willie McGinest.

Snoop produced The Underdoggs alongside Kenya Barris, Mychelle Deschamps and Jonathan Glickman. Charles Stone III directed the movie written by Danny Segal and Isaac Schamis.

Tika Sumpter, Andrew Schulz, Mike Epps and George Lopez are included in the cast.

TikTok Is Obsessed With Cash Stuffing: Here’s a Popular Money-Saving Binder & How to Start the Budgeting Trend

All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

TikTok normally encourages us to spend our money on everything from makeup dupes to unique-shaped bags, but a new viral challenge is actually pushing you to save money. The interactive method called “cash stuffing” is just another name for a budgeting tactic that requires you to set aside cash in envelopes or a binder for a set amount of time.

The result is a stack full of cash that you can use on everything from travel deals for a beachside vacation, to splurge on Taylor Swift’s Aupen bag and more. To help you kickstart your savings adventure, Amazon is offering a money-saving binder to make it easier to join the 100-day challenge and save upward of $5,050.

What Is Cash Stuffing?

Digital banking makes it easier to spend money with just a simple tap, but to help cut back on impulsive buying, cash stuffing requires you to take actual cash and put it inside of envelopes or a binder with pockets. Most TikTokers are using the 100-day method, which requires you to number envelopes or a binder with pockets from one to 100. Each number equates to an amount of money, and each day you’ll choose a number and put the corresponding amount of money into it, then mark it off.

If you follow through with it, then at the end of the 100 days you’ll have $5,050 in cash savings to do whatever you desire.

TikTok user @the.milli.way is just one of the hundreds of people taking on this challenge and they break it down in the video below using their own version of a 100-day binder.

You don’t just want to store your money anywhere, though, which is why there is a special 100-envelope savings challenge binder that will keep your money safe, while making sure you stay on track to that $5,050 goal.

Instead of hunting through the variety of options online, Billboard Shopping found an Amazon version that’s affordable yet cute to help you get saving faster.

Sooez 100 Envelopes Money Saving Challenge

Take the leap and pick up Sooez’s money-saving binder that’s filled with built-in clear pockets for storing money as well as a tracking page to tick off each amount you’ve added to the pile. There’s even side storage for keeping credit cards and more organized as well as a slit for keeping cash that’s yet to be included. When you’re done, the attached closure will make sure your money stays secure and out of sight.

Margot Robbie & Her Stylist to Release a Book of Looks From the ‘Barbie’ Press Tour: Pre-Order It Here

All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

This Barbie is dropping a coffee table book. Barbie star Margot Robbie and her stylist Andrew Mukamal teamed with fashion photographer Craig McDean to release Barbie: The World Tour, a coffee table book of Barbie-inspired looks from the movie’s press run including never-before-seen photos.

The Barbie movie press run was cut short due to the writer’s and actor’s strikes last year, so Robbie and Mukamal came up with the idea to photograph the looks “exactly as they were meant to be curated,” per the book’s description.

“This book was an idea I had in my living room when I started dreaming about Margot’s wardrobe for the Barbie press tour in March 2023. I could have never imagined just a few months later we’d be in the studio shooting this project with the team of our dreams,” Mukamal wrote on Instagram on Monday (Jan. 22). The post goes on to thank Robbie for taking him on “this wild ride” and trusting his vision.

“None of this would have been possible without your unwavering faith and confidence in me and my vision for what I knew would be a project that would change my life,” he wrote. “This book is a labor of love, dedicated to all the Barbie lovers and fashion fans around the world. Hope you enjoy.”

In the book, fans will get to see the strapless, trumpet-style Schiaparelli dress that Robbie wore to the Los Angeles Barbie movie premiere. The vintage look was inspired by Solo Spotlight Barbie.

Robbie’s pale pink Vivienne Westwood gown (inspired by Enchanted Evening Barbie) from the London premiere will also be featured in the book along her vintage Chanel jacket that she wore to the airport with matching, pink Streamline luggage and other must-see photos.

The highly anticipated Barbie movie (stream for for free on Max) became the top grossing film of 2023 raking in $1.44 billion at the box office. The Oscar-nominated comedy follows Barbie (Robbie) and Ken (Ryan Gosling) on a life-changing journey into the real world.

Robbie and Mukamal poured over some of Barbie’s “most iconic outfits” to recreate looks for the press tour including vintage pieces and custom creations from the likes of Giorgio Armani, Donatella Versace and other fashion designers.

Barbie: The World Tour will be released on March 19, but it’s not the only Barbie book coming soon. Barbie: Her Inspiration, History and Legacy, out April 9, is described as a “stunning tribute to the beloved pop culture icon.”

Jay-Z Designs Moncler x Roc Nation Capsule Collection

Jay-Z is a long way from the days of Rocawear but he’s returned to design an appetizing collection for Moncler in collaboration with Roc Nation.

The Roc Nation x Moncler winter-friendly capsule arrived on the designer’s website on Wednesday (Jan. 24), and finds HOV combining the coziness of streetwear with the lavish garments produced by the fashion house.

The upscale collection contains various items that can be part of people’s everyday wardrobe, such as high-quality T-shirts, cream-colored sweatshirts, fuzzy sweaters, sleek puffer jackets and a furry bucket hat courtesy of the Brooklyn rap icon.

Prices range from $345 for the standard graphic T-shirt up to well over $2,000 for the signature Moncler jackets, which have become a staple from the outerwear experts who are now headquartered in Milan, Italy.

Accompanying the collection’s release is a video helmed by the McGloughlin brothers, and they tapped SAINt JHN to serve as the narrator for the clip, which is soundtracked by The Book of Clarence‘s “I Want You Forever.”

“We climb mountains over hard paths. From hard places. Climb above the noise to find your voice. Until there’s only sky above you. Genius is everywhere,” the “Trap” artist says while scenes showcase the Marcy Projects Jay once called home.

Roc Nation and Moncler have done business before, as the two parties previously partnered for an interactive event surrounding Moncler’s Genius Platform at London Fashion Week in 2023. Jay had fans band together to record a song that eventually became “The Art of All” experience featuring Mike Dean.

“The Art of All is the journey, it is the everyday, it is waking up and using your voice,” Hov said last year. “Genius is everywhere.”

Check out the collection on the Moncler website.

2024 Paris Fashion Week: Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez & More Stars Show Off Their Style

Paris Fashion Week 2024 is nigh, meaning stars of the stage and screen are once again communing in the City of Light to shepherd in the next cycle of style trends ahead of the spring/summer season. 

With this year’s festivities running from Jan. 22 to Jan. 26, fashionable A-listers from Rihanna to Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Pharrell and Zayn Malik are all getting up-close seats along the catwalks at exhibitions from Christian Dior, Schiaparelli, Valentino, Kenzo, Chanel and more. And of course, it’s not just the models who are looking chic this week. On the first day, RiRi served up a head-to-toe black ensemble that looks like something straight out of a vintage illustrated Vogue cover, while on day two, K-pop boy band TOMORROW X TOGETHER showed out in an array of jewel-toned jackets. 

And if there’s any time or place to make a fashion statement, it’s Paris Fashion Week. (See Doja Cat’s striking full-body red crystal moment from last year.) Malik understood the assignment by arriving in a suit blazer with a thought-provoking message printed across the chest, while Zendaya debuted a head-turning, geometric hairstyle. 

Another exciting hallmark of fashion week, be it in Paris or Milan, London and New York? The combinations of celebs that get seated next to each other at fashion shows. For instance, this year’s installment sees September 2023’s pairing of BLACKPINK’s Rosé, Elvis’ Austin Butler and Hailey Bieber on the sidelines at the Saint Laurent show in Paris, and raises it Naomi Campbell lounging next to Kendrick Lamar beside the Chanel Haute Couture runway.

Selena Gomez Says She’s ‘Proud’ of Her Body: ‘It’s OK to Be Me’

Selena Gomez is proud to be rare. In a duo of posts on her Instagram Story Monday (Jan. 22), the 31-year-old pop star got vulnerable about her recent feelings toward body image and compared two photos of herself in a bikini from different times in her life.

In the first photo shared by the Rare Beauty founder, a younger, slimmer Gomez stands by the pool in a Zebra-print two-piece. “Today, I realized I will never look like this again….,” wrote the Only Murders in the Building actress.

Then, sharing a more recent snapshot of herself in a swimsuit, climbing the steps of a boat, Gomez added, “I’m not perfect but I am proud to be who I am..sometimes i forget it’s ok to be me.”

The “Calm Down” singer has long been an advocate for body positivity, and has been open about how she’s experienced fluctuations in her weight since being diagnosed with Lupus in the 2010s. “It was like they couldn’t wait to find a thing to bring me down,” she said of trolls who attack her appearance online in a March podcast.

“I would go online and post a picture of myself and I would say, ‘It doesn’t matter. I’m not accepting what you’re saying,’ all the while being in the room posting that crying my eyes out, ’cause nobody deserves to hear those things,” she added at the time.

The Emmy nominee is currently preparing her upcoming album, and dropped a track “Single Soon” in August. The song was produced by Benny Blanco, Gomez’s boyfriend of several months.

MaryRuth’s Liquid Morning Multivitamin is packed with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to improve health, increase immunity, boost energy and more.

According to the product description, the liquid multivitamin is filled with vitamins that “support your body’s needs,” such as Vitamin B6, Biotin (B7), B9, Vitamin B5 and Vitamin B12, and Vitamin C and Zinc to support immunity.

For a limited time, shoppers can save up to 35% off MaryRuth’s at Amazon (save up to 20% off through the MaryRuth’s website). The vegan, dairy free, nut free, gluten free, wheat free and sugar free multivitamin comes with 30-32 servings per bottle.

Does MaryRuth’s really work? I started taking MaryRuth’s last year after it was recommended to me by a family member.

Like many of the TikTok videos and Amazon reviews, I felt an instant boost of energy within seconds of taking MaryRuth’s and have recommended it to several friends and family (I also went 11 months without catching a cold, which could have something to do with my multivitamin routine).

The peach multivitamin is a personal favorite, but MaryRuth’s is available in other delicious flavors, including raspberry and peach mango. And it’s great if you don’t like taking vitamins in pill form.

You can find MaryRuth’s multivitamins at major retailers such as Amazon, Walmart and Target. The vitamins and supplements are made for adults and kids ages 2+.

The limited sale includes MaryRuth’s bestselling Liquid Morning Multivitamin ($33.62) and Multivitamin Multimineral Supplement for Women + Hair Growth Vitamins, which is 20% off during the sale.

MaryRuth’s doesn’t go on sale very often, so there’s no telling when the price will drop again (the last time we spotted a discount this deep was during Prime Day 2023).

Chrissy Teigen Would Love to Have These ‘Badass Women’ Musicians on ‘Chrissy & Dave Dine Out’

What’s better than sharing a delicious meal and intimate conversations with your closest famous friends at the best restaurants in town? Adding some A-list musical artists to the table, perhaps? Chrissy Teigen, David Chang and Joel Kim Booster already have the model-cookbook author’s husband John Legend joining them in season one of their upcoming Freeform original Chrissy & Dave Dine Out, premiering Jan. 24, but there are some hitmakers they’d love to nosh with in the future.

“I would do Beyonce, Rihanna, Ariana Grande,” Teigen tells Billboard of the musical artists they’d want on the show. “I have shared a meal with Ariana before — that was wonderful! Just badass women, really! And Mariah Carey!”

For restaurateur and TV personality Chang, he wants to have a chance to set the record straight with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, after the Chrissy & Dave Dine Out stars make a joke about the band in the premiere episode. “It’s a compliment to be so ubiquitous! I don’t want the audience to think it’s a negative!” the Momofuku boss explains, emphasizing that they were jesting with respect. “It’s something we’re all jealous of … I would have Chris Martin just so he knows it was a loving [joke].”

Actor and comedian Kim Booster agrees, and admits they’d love to aim high for potential musical guests at the dining table for a potential next season. “Yeah, we’re punching up for sure!” he tells Billboard of wanting to have the Coldplay frontman join them for a meal. “I don’t think we’re on his radar!”

Some who is on the actor-comedian’s radar, though, is SZA, whom he’d love to have on the show because, he explains, her music is what he likes to spin at his dinner parties. “It’s such a vibe! It’s so interesting,” he gushes of the tunes by SZA, who leads in 2024 Grammy nominations with nine. “I feel like I don’t know very much about SZA, so I’d really love to have her on and really get to talk to her and get past the standard interview questions and understand her background and where she’s coming from.”

While season one of Chrissy & Dave Dine Out will have a bevy of Hollywood elite — including Jimmy Kimmel, Simu Liu, Regina Hall, Alexandra Daddario and more — there are some celebs a bit lower on the list the three stars of Freeform’s new show would be into having on the program.

“I just spoke to Scheana [Shay] — I love her. But I feel like I just got to spend time with her,” self-proclaimed Vanderpump Rules fan Teigen shares when discussing who from the hit Bravo reality show she’d want on. “I mean, Tom Sandoval, just to see whatever comes out of his mouth. I’d be so curious to hear it all! But I think Lala [Kent] and I would … I would love to hear from her the most, I think.”

Fire Island star Kim Booster wants someone a little bit less dramatic than the core VPR gang: Lisa Vanderpump’s son, Max Todd. “I would ask him why he’s still a busboy!” he laughs. “His mom owns the restaurant! What are you doing bussing people!”

Watch Teigen, Chang and Kim Booster have deep, unfiltered — and sometimes NSFW! — conversations with their celebrity friends over meals when Chrissy & Dave Dine Out premieres Jan. 24 at 10 p.m. ET on Freeform, and streaming next day on Hulu. New episodes arrive Wednesdays.
