Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” ascends to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the singer-songwriter’s first leader on the list. It rises from No. 4, after reaching a previous No. 2 best.
Warren becomes the first male soloist to earn an initial Hot 100 No. 1 this year.
“Ordinary,” the 1,181st No. 1 in the Hot 100’s 66-year history, rose to the top of both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts in May. On the Hot 100, Warren charted one prior entry, “Burning Down” (No. 69 peak, last October). Concurrent with the coronation of “Ordinary,” he adds his second top 40 Hot 100 hit, as “Bloodline,” with Jelly Roll, debuts at No. 32.
Before concentrating on music full-time, Warren grew a following in Hype House, a group of TikTok content creators that frequently collaborated. He signed to Atlantic Records in 2022.
“In my career, I have been so open with my friends who follow me,” Warren, who co-authored “Ordinary,” told Billboard earlier this year. “They know everything about me and we’re so connected, and I love that. I’m thinking of these people while I’m writing these songs, because I’m thinking about what I would want to hear if I was still going through that.”

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs have taken their romance to the grid. After a few months of dating rumors, the couple has gone Instagram official, with the rapper sharing a slew of steamy snaps featuring the NFL star Sunday (June 1).
In one photo of the pair, they cuddle up on a yacht while a bikini-clad Cardi wraps a leg around Diggs as he appears to lean in for a kiss. The Bronx native also shared a video of herself twerking against the wide receiver as he flashes a big smile.
“Chapter 5 ……Hello Chapter six,” Cardi captioned the post, in which she also showed off a room full of roses — possibly sent by Diggs.

In the comments, many of the musician’s famous friends shared support. “that’s my girl,” wrote Kehlani, while GloRilla replied, “Badddd.”
“Absolutely,” wrote SZA, adding a string of saluting emojis.
The milestone comes a few months after Cardi and the athlete first sparked dating rumors in the fall, later spending Valentine’s Day together in Miami. In April, they attended Coachella together, followed by a courtside date at a New York Knicks vs. Boston Celtics game in May.
Cardi’s romance with Diggs also marks her first public relationship since filing for divorce from Offset in late July, shortly after which she welcomed Baby No. 3 with the Migos star. The two rappers are parents to 6-year-old daughter Kulture, 3-year-old son Wave and new little girl Blossom. (Diggs has a daughter, Nova, from a past relationship.)
Just a couple of weeks after attending the Knicks game with Diggs, Cardi sounded off at her estranged husband for requesting spousal support amid their divorce proceedings. “You such a f–king p—y a– n—a,” she told ‘Set on X Spaces in late May. “Word to my mother, I want you to die, but I want you to die f–king slow. When you die, I want you to die slow in the bed. And when you die, n—a, you gotta think of me.”
Miley Cyrus thinks that Billy Ray Cyrus‘ new romance with Elizabeth Hurley is something beautiful.
In an interview with The New York Times published Saturday (May 31), the pop star was candid about her thoughts regarding her father’s relationship with the English actress, which she compared to mom Tish Cyrus finding love again with actor Dominic Purcell. “As I’ve gotten older, I’m respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents,” Miley began.
“My mom’s really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard,” she continued. “And so I think I took on some of my mom’s hurt as my own, because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult, and so I owned a lot of her pain. But now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness, too — I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing.”
“I’m being an adult about it,” she added. “At first it’s hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, ‘Yes, that’s your dad, but that’s just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.’ My child self has caught up.”

The “Flowers” singer’s parents were married for nearly 30 years before divorcing in 2022, after which Tish — who has worked for years as Miley’s manager — married Purcell in August 2023. Two months later, Billy Ray would marry singer-songwriter Firerose, though the “Achy Breaky Heart” crooner would file for divorce after seven months of marriage in 2024.
Billy Ray has since started dating Hurley, with the couple making their relationship Instagram official on Easter. “She’s so impressively brilliant,” he said of his Christmas in Paradise costar on Apple Music’s The Ty Bentli Show in April. “She reminds me a lot of Dolly Parton. She’s a very smart businesswoman. If you can laugh together, you can make it through everything.”
Throughout the changes in Tish and Billy Ray’s love lives, rumors that Miley was estranged from her dad continuously circulated. In May, however, the Grammy winner put those to bed with a statement on Instagram Stories, writing, “My dad and I have had our challenges over the years … I’m at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing.”
While speaking to NYT, Miley doubled down. “No,” she replied when asked whether she was “still estranged” from Billy Ray. “I think timing is everything.”
As for her mom, the Hannah Montana alum recently paid tribute to Tish on “End of the World,” one of the singles from new album Something Beautiful, which dropped May 30. According to Miley, she wrote the track when her mom left her for a week to vacation in Italy, admitting, “I’m too old to feel that way, but that’s how I felt.”
“My mom called me and said: ‘I don’t know why, but I want to cry today,’” Miley added to NYT. “‘I’m looking out my window, and there’s nothing out there for me, because you’re back home.’”

JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes have gone bed selfie official.

Less than a month later, Siwa and Hughes appear to be the real deal. Both have been posting snuggly pictures together for the past few weeks. But after Hughes shared a snap of the happy couple in bed together on Snapchat on Sunday (June 1), with Siwa, 22, resting her head on a shirtless Hughes’ chest, Siwa told The Guardian newspaper that “it’s not platonic anymore, and it’s been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I’m absolutely head-over-heels for him and he’s the same way.”
Siwa and Hughes appeared to bond on Big Brother after Hughes stood up for the singer when cast member Mickey Rourke, 72, made a series of homophobic remarks he later apologized for. In the Guardian interview, Siwa appeared to swat away suggestions that the pair were playing up their romance for the cameras before their run in the house ended.

“No, this is a very genuine connection, we’re not faking a thing,” Siwa — who dated Mark Bontempo in 2020 before coming out as queer and dating a series of women — told the paper. As for suggestions that their made-on-TV romance is a PR stunt for the cameras from the performer who has been in the public eye since bursting onto the scene more than a decade ago on Dance Moms, Siwa said that’s not at all the case.
“Clearly, you’ve never been around us. I won’t ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now,” she said. “Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I’ve never [before] been in pain from smiling so much.”
Siwa and Hughes are all over each others’ feeds, with Hughes playing a big role in a series of pics JoJo posted around her May 19 birthday, including a roll of snaps in which they share a cozy breakfast, Hughes stacks up a pile of gifts for Siwa and another bed selfie where they are smiling at the camera.

The Roots apologized to fans for the delayed opening of Saturday’s (May 31) first day of their 2025 Roots Picnic festival. According to Philadelphia magazine, fans complained that they waited hours in very long lines to enter the fest on its first day.
Roots drummer Questlove responded to the complaints in an Instagram post featuring footage of front loaders pushing around wood chips to cover of giant muddy patches on the site at the Mann Center in Philly’s Fairmount Park. “I know today wasn’t ‘ideal’ for The Roots Picnic in this 18th year of 2025. (This year has been particularly challenging to say the least),” he wrote. “Transforming the Mann Center into our event takes about two weeks, but as many of you experienced, heavy rain from May 30th into the morning of the 31st caused significant damage (midnight to 7am). We nearly canceled The Picnic because conditions were unsafe for everyone involved.”
CBS reported that “throughout the afternoon and evening, the festival’s social media pages were flooded with comments from people saying they waited in line for hours to get inside on Day 1.” The Philadelphia Inquirer said that hours after gates were slated to open fans started chanting “Let us in!,” with the line not moving until after 3:30 p.m. as frustrated attendees vented their anger in comments on the event’s official Insta.

“Definitely need a refund! After waiting in 3 hours in the line, I have very little trust in today’s process. Yesterday was UNACCEPTABLE,” wrote one, with another adding, “If the event is rain or shine, y’all should be prepared for rain or shine. We knew about the weather all week and we prepared for that. What happened in those entry lines yesterday was not safe.”
Quest explained that instead of cancelling the festival — whose roster this year included Meek Mill, Lenny Kravitz, GloRilla, Miguel, Tems, Latto, Kaytranada and Jeezy — the group decided to take extra time to repair the site to make it safe for attendees, which he said caused a three-hour delay in opening doors. “We prioritized caution above all else,” he wrote. “After working hard to improve the site—factoring in the challenge of finding mulch to absorb excess water — we managed to revise the schedule so that all artists, including headliners Maxwell (whom we ALL owe an incredible amount of gratitude for doing us a solid with seconds on the clock) and Latto, could perform without violating city noise curfews.”
In the note Quest said he was writing at 3 a.m. Sunday morning, said he personally worked with promoter Live Nation to work out the kinks caused by the rain. “I wanna thank you for your understanding and patience through this adversity,” he added. “This year has shown our ability to adapt and overcome challenges, much like we did in past years. Tomorrow is a new day, and I’m excited to revisit the Do You Want More LP on the Mann stage.”
The official Roots Picnic Instagram also featured an update and apology for the delays in a message that read: “We would like to say sorry. As we shared yesterday, the rain over the last 48 hours made the grounds unsafe. In an abundance of caution, we had to delay doors opening, resulting in the lines to get into the festival. Please understand safety will always be our number 1 priority.”
Organizers said they worked hard to make sure every artist still got their stage time, extending the hours of the festival do that everyone could perform without violating city curfews. They also promised to “do better” on Sunday (June 1), noting that there was no rain in the forecast and that they had made changes to improve the entry process and communication with fans.
Day two appeared to go off with less hitches, with the official Roots Picnic posting footage of sets by Crystal Waters, the Clipse, CeeLo Green, The Roots, Kravitz, Kaytranada and Meek Mill.

The sequel follows Adam Sandler’s iconic character returning to the green nearly 30 years after the original to raise $300,000 for his daughter’s ballet tuition.
Sandler previously announced the Detroit rapper’s inclusion in the highly anticipated sequel during a recent appearance on The Dan Patrick Show.

“Eminem was cool, he came by, he was great,” Sandler raved of Em, adding, “I’ve known Eminem for a long time, he’s a great guy and he came in and was funny as hell,” he said. “I think we just hung out a day with Eminem and he just shot and shot and he was insane. [He] said a million things we can use and a million that we’re glad we have him on tape.”
The cameo-filled trailer features a slew of other big names, including Bad Bunny, Travis Kelce, Eric André, Margaret Qualley, and Martin Herlihy.
Bad Bunny plays Gilmore’s chaotic new caddie, while Ben Stiller, Julie Bowen, and Christopher McDonald reprise their roles from the 1996 classic. The movie also stars Sandler’s real-life daughter, Sunny Sandler, who plays Gilmore’s daughter.
Back in August, Sandler also discussed Travis Kelce’s cameo in the comedy flick. During a Tonight Show appearance, the comedian shared of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, “He’s a very nice guy. You guys would love him in real life. What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He’s a stud and he’s so funny.”
Directed by Kyle Newacheck and co-written by Sandler and longtime collaborator Tim Herlihy, the film blends nostalgia with a new twist, bringing back fan-favorite characters while introducing fresh faces. Of course, Gilmore’s fiery temper and unconventional golf skills are on full display once again.
Eminem’s appearance comes during a prolific era for the rapper. His 2024 album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, moving 281,000 equivalent album units in its first week and marking his 11th No. 1 album.
The album’s lead single, “Houdini,” debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning Eminem his 23rd career top 10 single and his highest chart debut since “The Monster,” featuring Rihanna, which logged four weeks at No. 1 in December 2013-January 2014.
Menawhile, Post Malone is co-headlining the Big Ass Stadium Tour with Jelly Roll, which kicked off in April 2025 and runs through July in North America, before heading to Europe in August and September. The tour supports Post Malone’s country-inspired album F-1 Trillion, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
