Brooklyn Beckham is looking a lot like his soccer-superstar dad David Beckham in new photos — and he has Selena Gomez‘s baby sister to thank.

On Tuesday (Aug. 29), Gomez shared a photo to her Instagram Story of 10-year-old half-sister Gracie Teefey giving Brooklyn a buzz cut with the caption “My Babies.” Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, also shared pics of the newly shaved hairstyle on Monday, as well as a pic of Nicola holding the razor, but we didn’t know who else was behind the clippers until now.

The look recalls David Beckham’s famous buzz cut that he’s sported over the years, and it looks like he and Brooklyn are in this together, because Dad showed off his own shaved head on vacation just last week.

Peltz shared a carousel of photos featuring Brooklyn’s new ‘do on Monday, as well as a pic of her hugging Teefey. Gomez has been publicly tight with the younger Beckham couple for almost a year, with Nicola and Selena sharing frequent pics together on social media starting in late 2022. Peltz celebrated her 28th birthday in January with Gomez and Teefey in attendance. Brooklyn Beckham married actress Nicola Peltz in April 2022.

Gomez made her musical comeback last week, releasing the frothy pop song “Single Soon” and a girls-night-out video to match on Friday.

Below, find pics of Gracie and Nicola buzzing off Brooklyn’s hair, plus more pics of the new cut.

The next Doja Cat era is upon us: The rapper/singer announced Tuesday (Aug. 29) that her fourth studio album, Scarlet, will arrive on Sept. 22.

Doja shared the news on Instagram, where she also unveiled the project’s cover art featuring an appropriately crimson spider. “SCARLET 9.22,” the caption reads, alongside a spider emoji.

Fans have already heard two songs from the album: lead single “Attention,” which was released in June and has so far peaked at No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as “Paint the Town Red,” which reached the Hot 100 top five this week thanks to viral activity on TikTok fueling a rise in streaming and sales. “Red” also moves 5-1 to top this week’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

Ahead of its top five ascent this week, “Paint the Town Red” started at No. 15 on the Hot 100 — the highest unaccompanied debut of Doja’s career so far.

Scarlet will follow Doja Cat’s blockbuster 2021 album Planet Her, which launched five top 20 Hot 100 hits: “Kiss Me More” featuring SZA (No. 3 peak); “You Right” with The Weeknd (No. 11); “Need to Know” (No. 8); “Woman” (No. 7); and “Get Into It (Yuh)” (No. 20).

Doja is expected to release “Demons” — a third song from Scarlet — on Friday. She’s shared a series of eerie visual teasers from a likely music video for the song this week on her socials.

Once you go Blink, you never go back — and Chrissy Teigen is the latest proof.

On Monday, the Cravings founder took to Instagram to share her BLACKPINK concert experience and give an update on her fan status after attending the show.

“Finally saw @blackpinkofficial and phew I GET IT. That is A SHOW. What’s the best fan page for me to follow, I need to learn everything there is to know in very little time,” the model captioned a video from her night out with husband John Legend, their daughter Luna and a close friend.

Several moments in the video included a look at Teigen’s sparkly black outfit, her daughter Luna’s friendship bracelet, a sweet photo with Legend taking their seats and scenes from BLACKPINK’s show, including the girls’ background dancers expertly hitting choreography in unison.

The concert was a part of BLACKPINK’s set of four Born Pink Encore Tour performances, which saw members Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé play four extra dates at East Rutherford, New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium (Aug. 12), Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium (Aug. 18), San Francisco’s Oracle Park (Aug. 22) and Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium (Aug. 26).

The model is not the first celebrity to to hit up the Born Pink Encore Tour: NFL legend Tom Brady hit up BLACKPINK’s concert at MetLife stadium with his two daughters, and took photos with Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé backstage joking that he got a “new gig in retirement” on Instagram.

It’s been 10 years since Miley Cyrus released her first No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit, but her country icon godmother Dolly Parton remembers her first time listening to the track like it was yesterday.

The “Jolene” singer sat down with Spotify’s commemorative podcast for the song, Wrecking Ball 10, and recalled her first experience with the track.

“I remember the first time I heard ‘Wrecking Ball.’ It hit me the same way it did the first time I heard ‘I Will Always Love You’ by Whitney Houston,” Parton said, referencing Houston’s famous 1992 cover of the Parton-written song for the Bodyguard soundtrack. “I was driving, heard that one, and I almost wrecked. And when I heard ‘Wrecking Ball,’ I almost wrecked again! I thought, when it started into that chorus, I thought it hit me like a wrecking ball. I thought, ‘Well, how great can a song be?’”

Following its release on Aug. 25, 2013, “Wrecking Ball” went on to wreck its competition on the Billboard charts, becoming Cyrus’ first No. 1 single on the Hot 100 and spending 32 total weeks — three of those at No. 1 — on the chart. The track also became the highest-performing single to come from the Disney Channel alum’s 2013 album Bangerz, which also included “We Can’t Stop” (No. 2 peak, 26 weeks on the Hot 100) and “Adore You” (No. 21, 18 weeks on the Hot 100).

Also featured on the Wrecking Ball 10 podcast are the song’s writers, Mozella and Stephan Moccio; producer Cirkut; Billboard senior director of music Jason Lipshutz; and more.
