Nixon dropped a limited-edition watch collection inspired by iconic rapper star Tupac Shakur. The Nixon x 2Pac collection includes five custom-designed gold, black and silver watches priced from $175 to $600.

The collection, released on Tuesday (Oct. 3) via Nixon.com, draws inspiration from the late rap icon’s “legacy and timeless style,” according to a press release. The designs pay homage to Shakur’s aesthetic and poetry with unique design elements such as roses and gold bezels and special iconography.

Nixon’s watch collection coincides with the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, and the 27th anniversary of Shakur’s death in September 1996.

In the year prior to his death, Shakur’s style gradually shifted from oversized shirts, hockey jerseys and jeans to dress shirts, vests and three-piece suits accessorized with mounds of diamond and gold jewelry. From chains to watches and rings, the late rapper appreciated expensive jewelry pieces, and didn’t mind stacking them up.

Some items from Shakur’s jewelry collection have since been auctioned off including a gold, ruby and diamond crown ring that sold for $1 million in July and a diamond pendant that sold for $125,000 in 2016.

The two-and-a-half-hour film takes fans from rehearsal to the stage with behind-the-scenes footage of Beyoncé touring the globe, and candid moments with her family including Jay Z and their kids Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir.

It is about Beyoncé’s intention, hard work, involvement in every aspect of the production, her creative mind and purpose to create her legacy and master her craft.

Beyoncé dropped the film trailer at the end of her tour in Kansas City, Mo., on Sunday (Oct. 1). She also posted the trailer on Instagram with the caption, “Be careful what you ask for, ‘cause I just might comply,” a reference to fans asking for visuals from the Renaissance album (and a lyric from her song “All Up in Your Mind”).

Another photo shows the twosome in a casual but stylish travel look: Bad Bunny sports oversized jeans, a white sweatshirt and sneakers, while Jenner rocks a Gucci monogram mini skirt, trench coat and black loafers.

According to People, Gucci’s Valigeria campaign “explores the intimacy of traveling together.” The Savoy collection features “emblematic pieces from the Gucci Savoy collection” known for its GG monogram and Web designs, per Gucci.

Jenner, 27, and Bad Bunny, 29, were first linked in February. They have yet to confirm dating rumors, but the Gucci campaign pretty much makes it official and marks their first time working together as a couple.

Bad Bunny opened up about his relationship status in a Vanity Fair interview last month. “They don’t know how you feel, they don’t know how you live, they don’t know anything, and I really don’t want them to know,” he said. “I’m not really interested in clarifying anything because I have no commitment to clarify anything to anyone. I am clear and my friend Jomar … and my mother is clear. They are the only ones to whom I have to clarify anything.”

Prior to the Gucci campaign, the twosome had been spotted out at basketball games, concerts and dinner dates. And they’ve already netted plenty of travel hours, including jetting off to Italy for a Gucci fashion show during Milan Fashion week.

The newest Gucci campaign features travel pieces available in different shapes, sizes and prints, including the GG Supreme Duffle and other duffle bags, suitcases and more available at Gucci.com.

Whether you’re a sports fan, reality TV lover or casual TV watcher, this antenna might just be the answer to your streaming troubles. It has a detachable signal amplifier for “maximum signal reception,” and a 16.5-foot coaxial cable with a range of up to 250 miles, per the product description. Want to save 31% off? Apply the instant coupon at checkout for an additional 10% off the sale price.

The antenna worked so well, one person even got rid of cable. “Goodbye Xfinity bill for $200 a month. I installed this new digital antenna and I get 73 channels crystal clear I do not get ESPN CNN TNT or other live broadcast sports channels. I live in Seattle and get great reception for zero dollars a month.”

Vansky has wracked up over 16,000 customer ratings, has a 4-star review at Amazon, and works better than some of the more expensive options available, according to one shopper. “Very impressed. Can’t believe the clarity of the picture for over the air,” reads an Amazon review. “Regular channels look much better than Comcast. Highly highly recommend!! Especially for the price!”

Another customer review titled ‘does the job,’ explained how the antenna has been useful for watching football games. “We use a streaming service instead of cable but we don’t get local channels. This is a problem for watching live NFL games. I purchased this antenna to get the basic NBC, CBS, ABC channels. It works great. Problem solved.”

Another shopper added, “I live in a pretty hilly area and this product was truly a plug and play. Got 40 channels and all the local ones needed to watch football!!!! Highly recommend.”

“I installed this unit in my basement with the antenna in a basement window,” wrote one shopper. “Without the amplifier I got 14 channels and with the amp I got 27. Considering where it’s at I consider it a positive purchase. It would probably work a lot better above ground, but it did the job I needed.”

Another customer wrote, “Compact light weight, quick response, clear bright screen, quick easy setup and transfer from old computer. I like the back lit keys.”

“This is a fantastic laptop (Acer Aspire 5 A515-46) and I’m extremely pleased with the product, even though we had a little rough patch about the specs,” reads one review who encouraged shoppers to double check the RAM and storage. “In the end this company made it good, but you’ll have issues getting it done without patience and persistence. Amazon offered to make it right if these guys didn’t, but props to this 2nd party seller for correcting their mistake. Very happy with this laptop as it is now, which is the way I ordered it!”

Customer reviews noted limitation such as the battery life. “It isn’t great but it’s not horrible either,” per one customer review from August titled “Great Quality for Low Price.”

“This is my first non-MacBook. It’s great in my opinion,” the shopper added. “The price was great, and it does everything I personally need a laptop to do. I highly recommend it.”

“Since receiving this laptop, I’ve been impressed with its quickness in accessing files and searching the internet,” reads a review from January. “This is most likely due to it’s 20GB memory, and it’s solid state hard-drive. My only regret is that it did not come with an optical drive or a memory card slot. Both of which can be purchased separately and connect via USB. But apart from that, I’m very happy with the purchase.”

Fresh off the release of her No. 1 sophomore album GUTS and announcing her new tour, Olivia Rodrigo is inviting fans to “experience music” the way she does.

The “Vampire” singer partnered with Sony to release her own limited-edition, noise-canceling LinkBud S headphones, announced on Tuesday (Sept. 26).

Olivia Rodrigo Concert Tickets Are Selling Out: Here’s How to Still See the Guts…

09/26/2023

The Olivia Rodrigo x LinkBuds S feature two custom equalizers tuned by Rodrigo and her producer Daniel Nigro. They retail for $199 and will be available for pre-order at Sony.com and authorized retailers.

“With these earbuds I designed with Sony, fans can experience music the way I do,” Olivia said in a statement to Billboard.

Rodrigo sought out sustainable materials for her Sony collaboration. The eco-friendly earbuds are made from factory-recovered plastic, reclaimed water bottles and recycled plastic materials from automobile parts, which were used to create parts of the case and body of the headphones.

Because of the recycled materials, the earbuds feature a violet marble pattern that’s unique to each pair. Plus, they’re perfect for listening to GUTS, SOUR and more music.

The Olivia Rodrigo x LinkBuds S collaboration is part of Sony’s new “For the Music” campaign. Rodrigo previously partnered with Apple to shoot her “Get Him Back” music video on an iPhone 15 and has released sold-out collaborations with Glossier and Casetify.

“This collaboration between Olivia Rodrigo and Sony is focused on engaging Olivia’s fanbase and releasing a product that provides a truly unique listening experience for her music. This is the first time we have worked with an artist to this extent of product creation and we can’t wait for fans to be able to ‘listen like Olivia,’” said Jordy Freed, director of brand and business development, personal entertainment business at Sony Corp. of America.

“From creation to consumption, Olivia was hands-on throughout the whole process of designing and tuning LinkBuds S x Olivia Rodrigo,” noted Maya Wasserman, Sony Electronics’ director of marketing for home and personal entertainment. “This collaboration between Sony and Olivia is truly a joint partnership with an intentional focus on engaging Olivia’s fanbase and celebrating her fandom.”
