Cardi B is vying for the unsung heroes of K-Beauty this Cyber Monday.

The “Drip” rapper posted a Reel to her Instagram yesterday, Nov. 30, sharing a quick peek into her skincare routine. Her go-to product? Fully’s Green Tomato Clay Mask Cleanser, a product that just so happens to be 15% off right now during Amazon’s Cyber Monday sale. “I’m always trying things online so when you find something that is really good online, it’s like ‘yes, yes, yes!’,” Cardi explained while applying the mask to her face.

The mask, retailing for $15.29, is a 2-in-1 clay cleanser in a pastel green hue formulated with 49% green tomato extract, thus explaining the green tinge. The cleanser is said to target clogged pores while offering excessive sebum control, sebum is a waxy substance that your body’s sebaceous glands produce, and a gentle exfoliation effect.

Fully Green Tomato Clay Mask Cleanser

$15.29

$17.99

15% off

A clay mask cleanser.

The cleanser is free from synthetic fragrances and when washed away, it leaves the skin hydrated and non-stripped of its natural oils. It’s all thanks to that hero ingredient, green tomato extract, that reduces the appearance of pores, improving your skin’s elasticity and calming irritation and redness. Remember, you can only get your hands on this cleanser at this discounted price until the end of the day today when Cyber Monday ends.

“I like to personally mask twice a week but this right here..you can actually use it as a mask or you can use it as a face wash,” Cardi elaborated as she continued to apply the mask, working it around her nose and chin, “I like to apply the most of it on my nose because I got so many tiny little pores on my nose.” Cardi set her timer for two minutes and waited until her mask hardened. The beauty of this mask is that, as mentioned, it works as a cleanser. This cleansing action cleans the skin and also works to gently exfoliate any dead skin, leaving your skin squeaky clean and soft.

Cardi demonstrated by wetting her face, working the water into the mask, and watching as it turned into a foam. Cardi shared a few wise words as she washed the mask off, exclaiming, “It is very important to put on a mask because it’s tightening up and making your pores smaller.” If Cardi’s glowing review of this product wasn’t enough, the mask has 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon with over 800+ positive reviews. On TikTok, the mask meets cleanser amassed over 55 million views. It’s clear the product is beloved, and it’s easy to see why. If it gets the Cardi stamp of approval, it’s obviously top-notch.

The 61st Academy of Country Music Awards will return to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas next year following three years at Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas.

The show will stream live on Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch on Sunday, May 17. This will be the fourth consecutive year that the ACM Awards have streamed on Prime Video and it will make the show’s first time on a Sunday night, regarded as the optimal night for awards show viewing, since 2021. The show was held on a Thursday night in its first three outings on Prime Video.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to return to MGM Grand for the 61st ACM Awards next May, a place that holds a lot of history and special memories for the Academy,” Damon Whiteside, CEO, Academy of Country Music, said in a statement. “It truly feels like a homecoming for us. There’s no better place to host an exciting, global country music celebration than fabulous Las Vegas!”

Jay Penske, CEO, Dick Clark Productions, added: “2026 is going to be a very special year for the ACMs, and partnering with MGM Resorts strengthens our deep commitment to delivering world-class entertainment and experiences for country music fans and partners alike.”

The ACM Awards were held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena from 2006-14 and returned to the venue in 2016 and again from 2018-19. The venue has also hosted the Billboard Music Awards, the Latin Grammy Awards, iHeartRadio Music Festival and more.

ACM Awards Week will kick off in Las Vegas on Friday, May 15. Tickets for the 61st ACM Awards and surrounding ACM Awards Week events will go on sale in early 2026.

The show’s host has yet to be named. Reba McEntire hosted the last two ACM Awards ceremonies, the latest in the 18 total that she has hosted or co-hosted. If she hosts one more ACM Awards ceremony, she’ll tie Bob Hope’s record for hosting or co-hosting the most iterations of a major awards show. Hope fronted the Oscars 19 times from 1940 through 1978. McEntire first co-hosted the ACM Awards in 1986.

In recent years, the ACM Awards ceremony has featured notable pairings of pop and country superstars, including Ed Sheeran & Luke Combs, Dua Lipa & Chris Stapleton, and Backstreet Boys & Rascal Flatts.

Established in 1966, the Academy of Country Music Awards is the longest-running country music awards show. The Country Music Association Awards were first presented in 1967. The CMA Awards were, however, the first country awards show to be televised, in 1968. The ACM Awards were first televised in 1972.

The ACM Awards aired on all three major networks – ABC (1972–78), NBC (1979–97) and CBS (1998–2021), before moving to Prime Video in 2022, when it made history as the first major awards ceremony to exclusively livestream. The 2022 ACM Awards ceremony received a Primetime Emmy nod for outstanding technical direction, camerawork, video control for a special. It was the show’s first Emmy nod in 36 years.

The ACMs have been held in Las Vegas in all but six years since 2003. In 2015, the show was held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas; in the pandemic years of 2020-21, the show was held at three iconic venues in Nashville; and for the last three years it was held at Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas.

The ACM Awards are produced by Dick Clark Productions, which is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a joint venture between Eldridge Industries and Billboard parent company Penske Media.

The upcoming docuseries, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which focuses on the legal troubles of Sean “Diddy” Combs, will make its debut this week, and a new trailer has been released. Adding to this, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, one of the producers of the docuseries, is continuing to double down on his verbal disdain of Diddy.

Netflix released a teaser clip of Sean Combs: The Reckoning, featuring Diddy speaking to someone who is presumably a member of his inner circle on a cellphone and expressing frustration in locating a legal team to take on his case. The teaser clip is dated September 10, 2024, and Combs is seen staring out of a hotel window.

While seated, Combs speaks into the phone, saying, “We have to find somebody that’ll work with us that has dealt in the dirtiest of dirty business,” with the moment ending with Combs passionately uttering, “We’re losing.”

In the midst of the new trailer dropping, 50 Cent is back to trolling Combs and shared a clip of his appearance on Good Morning America in support of Sean Combs: The Reckoning. The caption for the post reads, “What feud, I put two of his kids in my scripted Tv shows. I just didn’t like he said fruity sh*t to me. [frowning emoji] and he said fruity sh*t to me, I don’t like that! LOL @50centaction DEC 2 Netflix.”

Sean Combs: The Reckoning will air in four parts and make its debut on December 2. Check out the trailer below.

Ed Sheeran may love to use a loop pedal on stage, but in life, he’s often out of the loop due to his refusal to own a phone. That’s why he found out about longtime bestie Taylor Swift‘s engagement to Travis Kelce weeks after the fact.

But after learning about the “Fate of Ophelia” singer’s big news at the same time as the rest of the world via her August announcement on Instagram, the British pop star apparently had a long conversation with Swift to get caught up to speed. Revealing that he met up with her just “a week after” he revealed to Andy Cohen in September that he’d not been privy to Swift’s engagement before the general public, Sheeran told Access Hollywood in a Nov. 28 interview, “When I saw Taylor, we had like a four-hour catch-up.”

“I’m not self-conscious about my relationship with her,” he continued, noting that he and his pal spent the time talking about “life stuff” together. “We’ve been friends for many years. We’re super close, and we see each other when we see each other. And when we see each other, we lock back into where we left off,” Sheeran added.

The two titans of pop music have indeed been close for a long time, with the pair coming together in 2012 for a collaboration on Swift’s Red album titled “Everything Has Changed.” Sheeran then joined the 14-time Grammy winner on the road for her Red Tour, and the two have teamed up on a number of tracks since.

Despite their bond, Swift forgot to tell Sheeran directly about her engagement because of his commitment to staying off the grid. “He doesn’t have a phone,” the Eras Tour headliner lamented to Jimmy Fallon in October. “And this is one thing I love about him … But when I’m going through, saying, ‘Hey, who should we call? Who should we FaceTime?’ I’m going through my texts and being like, ‘Who have I texted within the last like, month of my life?’”

But while he may have been late to the proposal news, Sheeran will definitely be at Swift’s nuptials to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end (that is, assuming the happy couple sends him an invite with the date and location by post rather than text or email). On U.K.’s Hits Radio Breakfast Show in October, Swift confirmed that Sheeran will be on the guest list and added that it will be “hard to keep” him from giving an impromptu performance at the reception.

“It’s like, Ed, if there’s a stage you know that you’ll be on it,” she said at the time. “He knows what people want, and he wants to give people what they want.”

Watch Sheeran discuss his recent catch-up with Swift below.

The eight-episode season will premiere on Dec. 3 and sees the duo break new ground by traveling to Switzerland and Vietnam. Two episodes will be released each week up until Dec. 24. The season was filmed after both members completed their mandatory military service.

According to a press release, this season sees Jungkook and Jimin “embarking on an unforgettable 12-day journey that spans from the majestic mountains of Switzerland to the vibrant shores of Vietnam.

The show’s first season became the most-watched non-drama series globally for 42 days according to Disney+ and saw the boy band members explore New York, South Korea’s Jeju Island and Sapporo, Japan.

The show’s second season will be the metaphoric table-setter for the main course, which will find the pair reuniting with Jin, Suga, RM, J-Hope and V next year now that all the group’s members have completed their military training. The group released their last studio album, Be, a whopping five years ago. The full-length offering debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in Nov. 2020.

In the meantime, if you want to tune into the latest season of Are You Sure!?, we’re showing you how below.

How To Watch “Are You Sure?!”

The second season of Are You Sure!? will be available to stream on Disney+ starting Dec. 3.

Tribute Games is back in their beat’em up bag and offering comic book fans the most ambitious Marvel team-up event since Avengers: Endgame with its new game, Marvel Cosmic Invasion.

Coming out of Summer Game Fest, Marvel Cosmic Invasion was one of the many titles high on my list. Tribute Games holds a dear place in this beat’em up fanatic’s heart thanks to its other fantastic titles like Scott Pilgrim EX and another personal favorite, TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. 

Many Marvel fans, myself included, have longed for a great beat’em up game featuring Marvel’s roster of heroes and villains, since it’s been a while since 1992’s X-Men: The Arcade Game.

Tribute Games has finally filled that void with Marvel Cosmic Invasion, which proves they got the sauce when it comes to making beat’em up games. Still, they also understood the assignment when delivering a game that pays homage to an iconic era of Marvel Comics. 

A Comic Book Nerd’s Dream Game

DOTEMU / Tribute Games / Marvel Cosmic Invasion

We have all seen scenarios in the comics and films where all of your favorite Marvel superheroes can unite in one video game to take on a villain that is threatening the existence of the entire universe. Still, we have yet to experience that in a video game format.

That was until Marvel Cosmic Invasion. In the game, you get to choose from 15 superheroes, including Marvel OGs like Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Black Panther, Venom, Storm, Wolverine, and Phoenix, aka Jean Grey.

But as a bonus, Tribute Games decided to go deep in the Marvel vault by making characters like Rocket Raccoon, Phyla-Vell, Nova, Cosmic Ghost Rider (Frank Castle), Silver Surfer, and Beta Ray Bill.

On paper, it looks like a random selection of characters, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how they all fit into the game’s narrative, due to some of them having to be unlocked as you progress through the game’s story.

Speaking of the story, you won’t be taking on Thanos (even though he is in the game), but the big bad in Cosmic Invasion is none other than Annihilus and his Annihilation Wave, and the heroes unite to stop him in his tracks.

Throughout the game, you encounter other known Marvel villains like Beetle, Sentinels, Master Mold, M.O.D.O.K., and more who are under the control of Annihulus thanks to Arthrosian worms.

Cosmic Swapping Adds A New Element To The Beat ‘Em Up Gameplay

DOTEMU / Tribute Games / Marvel Cosmic Invasion

At its core, Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a beat ’em up game, but Tribute Games always finds a way to add another layer to make its games more memorable.

Cosmic Invasion features a “Cosmic Swapping” feature that allows you to pull off combos by calling in the other character you selected with the press of a button. You can also do team-up attacks where both characters perform their ultimate attacks at the same time.

What I appreciate the most about the Cosmic Swapping feature is that it invites you to use your other character, rather than just sticking with your first choice until they are knocked out.

You can still play that way, but Cosmic Swapping makes you want to swap your characters in and out on the fly because it’s simply so cool, and also fun pulling off combinations.

No characters feel the same, with Tribute masterfully designing them to feel different to use, allowing for unique pairings that will result in flashy combos if you can time your swaps right.

Each level also has different challenges for you to complete, and they are tied to the characters in your roster. For example, the level involving the Sentinels, there are challenges for you to complete for Wolverine and Storm, because the Sentinels are known villains in the X-Men franchise.

It’s another feature tribute thrown in there to ensure you try out all of the characters.

Final Verdict

DOTEMU / Tribute Games / Marvel Cosmic Invasion

Marvel Cosmic Invasion doesn’t stray far from its beat ’em up DNA, but Tribute once again manages to deliver an experience that will leave you completely satisfied.

I couldn’t help but feel like I was playing an episode of my favorite Saturday morning cartoon, or the pages out of my favorite Marvel comic books.

The levels are gorgeous and chock full of easter eggs for you to find, and each character sprite from the heroes to the villains doesn’t lack in detail and jumps off the screen.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is an absolute blast to play alone or with friends. The challenge system on the levels will also keep you coming back, making its replayability reasonably high.

Cosmic Invasion is also a fun title to pick up and play on the go. It ran perfectly on my ROG Xbox Ally, so I’m assuming it will be just as fine on the Steam Deck.

If you’re looking for another pure beat ’em up experience, Marvel Cosmic Invasion is definitely worth checking out for $29.99. If you have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you’re in luck because it will be available on the service on Dec.1, so make sure you assemble all your friends to take down Annihilus and his minions.

It’s time to pull out those ties, suit jackets, church hats and pearls, because Nick Jonas is slipping into his Sunday Best era with a new solo album coming in 2026.

On Monday (Dec. 1), the Jonas Brothers star announced that he’s gearing up to release his first solo full-length LP in five years, Sunday Best, on Feb. 6. The 11-track project will explore Nick’s life as a husband to actress Priyanka Chopra and a dad to their daughter, Malti, according to a release.

“I’m so excited to share these new stories, candid thoughts, quiet walks home in the city, and snapshots of my life over these past few years,” the pop-rocker said in a statement. “And while this album was made over the course of the last two years, it was truly 33 years in the making.”

On Instagram, Nick shared the Sunday Best cover art, which features him looking at his reflection in a bathroom mirror while getting dressed for the day in khakis. On the wall behind him hangs a piece of construction paper with three paint handprints on it, most likely to represent the musician, his wife and their child.

Serving as Nick’s fifth solo album, Sunday Best will follow 2021’s Spaceman, which reached No. 12 on the Billboard 200. He’s released two albums with brothers Joe and Kevin since: 2023’s The Album and 2025’s Greetings From Your Hometown, both of which charted in the top 10.

As a soloist, Nick has also charted eight songs on the Billboard Hot 100 over the course of his career, including top 10 hit “Jealous.”

The singer has spent much of this year on tour with his brothers in celebration of their 20th anniversary as a band. They currently have dates scheduled through the very end of December, closing out 2025 with a performance at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood on New Year’s Eve.

See Nick’s announcement for Sunday Best below.

Elton John & Bernie Taupin’s current Grammy nomination (best song written for visual media for “Never Too Late”) is their first as a songwriting team in 54 years. They share the nod with Brandi Carlile and Andrew Watt. The song, which was written for the documentary Elton John: Never Too Late, was nominated for an Oscar earlier this year.

It’s the first time John and Taupin have been nominated for a Grammy as a team since their music for the British-French teen romance Friends (no relation to the later smash TV series) was nominated for best original score written for a motion picture or a television special at the 1972 ceremony. (It lost to Isaac Hayes’ blockbuster Shaft soundtrack).

Amazingly, no John-Taupin collab has ever been nominated for song of the year. “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” was nominated for record of the year at the 1975 ceremony, but not song of the year. Their Oscar-winning “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” from Rocketman failed to even land a nod for best song written for visual media.

Both John and Taupin have been nominated for songwriting collabs with other partners. John received four nominations for the 1995 ceremony for co-writing songs for The Lion King with Tim Rice. “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” and “Circle of Life” were nominated for both song of the year and best song written specifically for a motion picture or for television. (The songs lost to Bruce Springsteen’s haunting “Streets of Philadelphia” from Jonathan Demme’s AIDS drama Philadelphia, an outcome that John, a longtime AIDS activist, was probably more than OK with.) John and Rice won best musical show album in 2001 for composing the score for Elton John & Tim Rice’s Aida.

Taupin received a best country song nod for the 2003 ceremony for co-writing “Mendocino County Line” with Matt Serletic. Willie Nelson recorded the song with Lee Ann Womack for his 50th studio album, The Great Divide.

John broke through in 1970, but didn’t win his first Grammy until 1987, for his featured role on Dionne & Friends’ “That’s What Friends Are For.” He won his first Grammy for one of his own records in 1992 when “Basque” won best instrumental composition. He composed the instrumental for flute player James Galway.

John has won five Grammys, far fewer than you might imagine for an artist of his stature. Taupin has yet to win one. “I’ve never been a favorite of the Grammys, I have to say,” John told writer Chris Willman in a current cover story for Variety. “It’s been very rare that I’ve won anything.”

John’s husband, David Furnish, added: “Elton and Bernie have never won a Grammy — can you believe that? — as a pair of songwriters.”

John received a Grammy Legend Award in 2000 but has yet to receive a lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy. Taupin has yet to receive a Trustees Award (the equivalent award for non-performers). They have fared better in other prestigious honors programs. They received the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s highest honor, the Johnny Mercer Award, in 2013, and are the reigning recipients of the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.

How does John and Taupin’s tepid Grammy showing compare with other legendary songwriting teams? Let’s start with the most fabled songwriting collaboration of them all – John Lennon and Paul McCartney. They received 10 Grammy nods in songwriting or composing categories.

Let’s also look at the nine collaborations that have received the Johnny Mercer Award from the SHOF. All but one has received at least one Grammy nod as a team. That one is the human hit factory known as Holland/Dozier/Holland, who collaborated on some of the biggest and best hits of the 1960s, including “Stop! In the Name of Love,” “You Can’t Hurry Love,” “I Can’t Help Myself” and “Reach Out I’ll Be There.” No Grammy nods for any of those songs? Please.

Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, like John and Taupin, received two Grammy nods as a team. Looking at the other Mercer Award recipients, and listing them in ascending order in number of nods as a team, we find Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil (four), Broadway scribes Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick (five), Burt Bacharach and Hal David (six), Broadway scribes Betty Comden and Adolph Green (eight), Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff (nine) and Marilyn and Alan Bergman (11).

This year’s other nominees for best song written for visual media are “As Alive as You Need Me to Be” from TRON:Ares (Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross), “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters (EJAE & Mark Sonnenblick) and three songs from Sinners – “I Lied to You” (Ludwig Göransson & Raphael Saadiq), “Pale, Pale Moon” (Ludwig Göransson & Brittany Howard) and “Sinners” (Leonard Denisenko, Rodarius Green, Travis Harrington, Tarkan Kozluklu, Kyris Mingo & Darius Poviliunas). “Golden” also received a nomination for song of the year, so it’s probably the front-runner in this category.
