Tom Brady Takes a Shot at Ye’s Parenting Skills While Roasting Kim Kardashian: Watch

While pointing out the reality TV star, Brady jabbed at her ex-husband Ye — the artist formerly known as Kanye West — and sniped the rapper about his parenting skills to the former couple’s four children.

“Kim Kardashian, thank you so much for being here,” the football star began his setup. “I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight — not because of this, but because her kids are home with their dad.”

The punchline drew laughs from the crowd as they gave Brady an ovation.

Kardashian even took the podium to roast Tom later in the night and addressed the rumors of them dating in the past. She appeared to be booed while coming up to the stage.

“I’m really here tonight for Tom. I wasn’t going to come tonight, but since I’m not here as Tom’s date, there’s still a good chance I might,” she said. “Speaking of Tom and I dating, I know there were some rumors that we were, and I’d never say if we did or not. I’d just release the tape.”

The SKIMS founder continued by comparing Brady to her stepparent, Caitlyn Jenner: “I do know it would never work out. An ex-athlete, high cheekbones, silky hair, you remind me too much of my stepdad now. Part of me thinks you would want to undress me, just to try on my clothes.”

Ye and Kim tied the knot in Italy with a wedding in 2014. The couple had four children together: North, Saint, Psalm and Chicago. They finalized their divorce in November 2022.

Prior to the dig, West and Brady have seemingly been on good terms. While the football star was still playing in the NFL, Ye brought his son Saint to hang with Brady before a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game in November 2021.

Subsequent footage of the meetup went viral, featuring West’s commentary of TB12 having a catch with Saint.

Lainey Wilson’s Journey From Struggling Artist to Country Star Explored in ‘Bell Bottom Country’ Trailer

In her upcoming documentary, Lainey Wilson: Bell Bottom Country, the “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” singer will take fans deeper into her journey from the Louisiana-born artist who once lived in a camper trailer when she first arrived in Nashville, to her current CMA entertainer of the year-winning and four-time Billboard Country Airplay-topping status.

“I experienced a lot of rejection, a lot of heartache,” Wilson says in the opening scenes of the documentary’s trailer, which premiered Monday (May 6). “I’m a tough woman, but it’s not easy. I have my days where you gotta do whatever you can to crawl out of those dark holes.”

The special was produced by Robin Roberts’ ABC News Studios production unit, and features not only Wilson in conversation with Roberts, but also commentators, including radio/television personality Bobby Bones and Wilson’s labelmate and fellow country artist Jelly Roll.

Trending on Billboard

The trailer features photos from Wilson’s childhood, as well as images and footage of her early days in Nashville — including that camper trailer, which served as a home base and a place of solace in her trying early days in Music City.

“I remember sittin’ out in this camper trailer, cryin’ my eyes out, thinking, ‘Is it ever gone happen?’” she says at one point in the teaser. “But Mama and Daddy didn’t raise no quitter.”

The special highlights some of the key moment’s in Wilson’s meteoric career rise, including her CMA entertainer of the year win and her Grammy win earlier this year (Bell Bottom Country was named best country album). Additionally, the documentary delves into the hardships Wilson has faced along the way, including her father’s health struggles in 2022 while Wilson was filming her role on the television series Yellowstone.

The documentary will release on Hulu on May 29, just days before Wilson launches her headlining Country’s Cool Again tour with two shows at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater on May 31 and June 1.

Wilson is also nominated for five trophies at the upcoming Academy of Country Music Awards airing May 16, including entertainer of the year and female artist of the year.

‘Lolla’ Doc Captures How Lollapalooza Went From Underground Tour to Global Phenomenon: Trailer Premiere

What started in 1991 as a small farewell tour for Perry Farrell and Jane’s Addiction has since become one of the world’s foremost music festivals: Lollapalooza. And in a new Paramount+ docuseries titled Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza, the rock star and his peers are giving an oral history of how it all went down — as teased in the project’s new trailer, which Billboard is exclusively premiering.

From ’90s rockers to hip-hop stars, Lolla gathers many of the visionaries who were involved in some of the very first Lollapalooza tours. “It felt like a revolution,” Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails recalls in the trailer, speaking on the festival’s beginnings as an anti-establishment, for-the-people musical melting pot.

Trending on Billboard

“We had all been underground bands, but that was changing,” adds Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Flea, while Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello tells the camera, “That was the Declaration of Independence of the alternative nation.”

As time went on, Lollapalooza kept innovating — and in doing so, its own popularity began to overshadow its underground roots. “When the car’s going real, real fast, it gets harder and harder to jump out,” Farrell remarks in the trailer. “We were a victim of our own success.”

Also featured in the project are Metallica’s Lars Ulrich, Ice-T and Chicago native Chance the Rapper, who muses in the new clip, “Lolla picks great people [to perform] when no one’s heard of them.”

Lolla is also sure to feature old and recent footage of Lollapalooza performances through the years, with clips of Green Day, Billie Eilish, Marshmello and dozens of more acts appearing in the trailer. Now a global phenomenon with annual offshoots in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France, Sweden and India, Lollapalooza was the first festival to mix genres on its billing, expand to multiple days and introduce a second stage. This year, the event will be headlined in August by SZA, Tyler, the Creator, Blink-182, The Killers and more.

Directed by Michael John Warren, the three-part series drops exclusively on Paramount+ May 21. It first premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival in January.

Dua Lipa Spreads Positivity While Explaining ‘Radical Optimism’ Album Title in ‘SNL’ Monologue: Watch

Dua Lipa was all about positivity during her Saturday Night Live monologue.

The 28-year-old pop star — who pulled double duty as host and musical guest during SNL on May 4 — opened the show with a monologue that explained why her just-third studio album is titled Radical Optimism.

“A lot of people ask me what Radical Optimism means,” the “Levitating” singer told the Studio 8H crowd, which included her parents. “To me, it’s like looking on the bright side of any situation. Here, I’ll show you.”

From there, Lipa called on various members of the audience to share a problem in their lives. One man stood up and revealed that his wife left him because he accidentally called her mom while sharing an intimate moment.

“Well, on the bright side, now you’ll have more time to spend with your mom,” the British artist said. “See, Radical Optimism.”

Trending on Billboard

Next, SNL cast member Bowen Yang stood up to share that his doctor ordered him to stop drinking alcohol.

“Well, on the bright side, there’s always poppers,” Lipa replied, referencing the recreational drug. “See, you can put a positive spin on anything.”

The singer ran into a snag when calling on MAGA hat-wearing South Dakota Republican governor Kristi Noem (played by Heidi Gardner), who has received criticism for shooting her puppy.

“No, no no, sorry, I can’t help,” Lipa immediately replied after Gardner’s Noem introduced herself.

Saturday’s SNL marks Lipa’s third time appearing as musical guest on the long-running sketch comedy show and her first time hosting. She was previously a musical guest in 2018 and 2020.

During the May 4 episode, she performed Radical Optimism tracks “Illusion” and “Happy For You.”

Following Saturday’s episode, season 49 will wrap up with two new episodes: May 11, with former SNL star Maya Rudolph hosting for a third time and Vampire Weekend as musical guest for a fourth time, and May 18 with Jake Gyllenhaal hosting a third time and Sabrina Carpenter making her musical-guest debut.

Dua Lipa Performs ‘Radical Optimism’ Songs While Pulling Double Duty as ‘SNL’ Host & Musical Guest

Dua Lipa pulled double duty as host and musical guest during Saturday Night Live on May 4.

In between her hilarious sketches (including a dissection of Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s ongoing beef), the 28-year-old pop star performed two songs from her just-released third studio album, Radical Optimism.

With an introduction from fellow pop star and former tourmate Troye Sivan, Lipa opened with the summery “Illusion,” which served as the third single from her new LP. For her second performance, the artist received an intro from comedian Jerry Seinfeld before launching into a passionate delivery of “Happy For You,” which closes out Radical Optimism.

Lipa’s 11-track Radical Optimism — her first proper album since 2020’s Future Nostalgia — arrived Friday (May 3) and also features previously released singles “Houdini” and “Training Season.” The former debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, while the latter entered the chart at No. 27.

“[Releasing the album] feels good. It feels for lack of a better word — radically optimistic,” she previously told Billboard, before explaining the idea behind the album cover, which features the singer floating in a wide open ocean facing a shark fin. “Throughout the whole record, there’s this idea of chaos happening around and me trying to push through it in a way that feels authentic and honest to me.”

Saturday’s SNL marks Lipa’s third time appearing as musical guest on the long-running sketch comedy show and her first time hosting. The “Levitating” singer was previously a musical guest in 2018 and 2020.

Following Saturday’s episode, season 49 will wrap up with two new episodes: May 11, with former SNL star Maya Rudolph hosting for a third time and Vampire Weekend as musical guest for a fourth time, and May 18 with Jake Gyllenhaal hosting a third time and Sabrina Carpenter making her musical-guest debut.

Dua Lipa Takes a ‘Deep Dive’ Into the Drake & Kendrick Lamar Beef on ‘SNL’: Watch

Dua Lipa attempted to break down the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar on Saturday Night Live.

While pulling double duty as SNL host and musical guest on May 4, the 28-year-old pop star appeared in a hilarious sketch in which she appeared on a morning talk show to dissect the onslaught of diss tracks between the 6 God and K. Dot.

In the skit, Lipa played Wanda Weems, a culture critic who has spent “the past 48 hours trying to piece it all together.” Speaking in front of a bulletin board with photos of the two rappers and string connecting sticky notes with words like “OVO” and “shoe size,” Lipa’s character explained the back-and-forth disses to the show’s co-hosts Gail Gohnson (Heidi Gardner) and Mason Monroe (Mikey Day).

“Y’all, these diss tracks are getting insane,” Lipa says in a heavy Southern accent before referencing tracks like Lamar’s “Euphoria” and Drake’s “Push Ups.”

Trending on Billboard

“Now in Drake’s diss track, he questions Kendrick’s manhood, saying he wears a size 7 shoe,” she says. “But now, Drake is being sued by Tupac’s estate for using an AI version of his voice.”

Saturday’s SNL marks Lipa’s third time on the long-running sketch comedy show as the musical guest and her first time hosting. During the episode, she performed the songs “Illusion” and “Happy for You,” from her just-released third studio album, Radical Optimism.

Zendaya’s Style Evolution, From 2010 to Now

The star has been serving up looks since her Disney Channel days.

Zendaya has been serving up game-changing looks since before she was even an adult, a fact that sometimes makes it difficult to remember that the California native is a world-class actress, singer and model in addition to being a modern fashion icon.

But alas, the accomplished multi-hyphenate has done it all — and has looked stunning while doing it. When she shows up to an event or a red carpet, fans can feel certain that she’ll make a statement, whether it’s with a gorgeous gown or a boundary-pushing designer outfit. She’s also known for matching her looks to the films she stars in, from wearing a gorgeous butterfly dress to the Australian premiere of The Greatest Showman to sporting stilettos with heels piercing actual tennis balls on a promotional trip to Rome for Challengers.

It’s also crucial to mention that Z’s reputation as a style tastemaker is thanks in no small part to her partner in crime, stylist Law Roach. The pair have been working together for well over a decade, with the in-demand stylist going from dressing the star for some of her very first events as a Disney Channel breakout star to coordinating show-stealing moments for several Met Galas – an event Zendaya earned the right to co-chair in 2024.

“It’s a little bit of fake it till you make it,” she confessed on The Kelly Clarkson Show that year, admitting that she’s an introvert. “You have to psych yourself up and pretend. Eventually you believe it. You’re like, ‘OK, yeah, I do feel confident today.’ And I think fashion has been a great tool for that for me.”

Ryan Gosling Says He ‘Cried Too Hard’ to Taylor Swift’s ‘All Too Well’ While Shooting ‘Fall Guy’

Even Ryan Gosling isn’t immune to the tear-jerking powers of Taylor Swift‘s “All Too Well.” In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly published Thursday (May 2), the actor opened up about shooting a scene in Fall Guy in which his character, Colt, has a good crying session in the car while listening to the pop star’s Red ballad, revealing that he ended up sobbing a little too much for the upcoming film’s final cut.

“I remember I cried too hard, and they cut it out,” he told the publication. “There were so many tears. It was a moment for Colt to really get it out. ‘All Too Well’ came on, and he had a good car cry. I mean, he’d been through a lot. He was jet-lagged.”

Trending on Billboard

“So yeah, that song comes on, you’re going to let it rip,” the Barbie star continued. “A little Taylor Swift comes on, you’re alone in your car in the parking lot …”

Gosling’s costar Emily Blunt added, “The amount of tears they cut in post was almost hysterical, actually.”

A snippet of the scene in question appears in one of the Fall Guy trailers. Colt, a stunt double in love with Jody (Blunt), the director of a film he’s working on, takes a moment alone to let out some tears in his car as Swift’s Billboard Hot 100-topping breakup track plays on the radio. All of a sudden, Jody approaches the car and knocks on the window, startling Colt.

“Have you been crying to Taylor Swift?” she asks, to which Gosling’s character replies, “Doesn’t everyone?”

In another recent interview, the Canadian thespian revealed that “All Too Well” also happens to be his own personal favorite Swift track, telling Fandango that it “has a real soft spot in [his] heart.” Meanwhile, Blunt said she prefers “Cruel Summer.”

Shortly afterward that interview, the two stars performed a spoof version of “All Too Well” on Saturday Night Live, earning Swift’s praise. “All Too Well (Ryan and Emily’s Version)!!!” the pop superstar wrote on Instagram after the Gosling-hosted episode aired. “Watch me accidentally catch myself singing this version on tour. This monologue is everything.”

13 Musicians Who Have Cooking Shows

From Selena Gomez to Snoop Dogg and beyond, here are musicians who’ve hosted their own cooking shows.

While cooking and making music might seem like an unlikely pairing, quite a few musicians have been able to turn their love of working in the kitchen into a side career, adding hosting their own cooking shows to their resumes.

Among the more established musicians turned cooking show hosts are country superstar Trisha Yearwood, who has been hosting her own program on the Food Network for the better part of the last 10 years.

Other musicians are eager to learn. This is the case for rapper and restauranteur Ludacris, whose awareness for his lack of cooking skills led him to host Luda Can’t Cook to, well, become Luda can cook. On his show, Ludacris enlists the help of master chefs to teach him tips and tricks in the kitchen. Selena Gomez‘s show, Selena + Chef, follows a similar premise, as viewers witness the singer and actress meet with chefs via video call so they can help her maximize her skills in the kitchen.

While most of these shows appeared on television networks — like Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart’s VH1 show Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party — a lot of musicians have taken advantage of streaming to share their favorite recipes. BTS‘ show, BTS Recipe is shared on YouTube, as was Adam Gardner‘s Quarantine Kitchen.

See some of the artists who have transferred their skills at entertaining to their own cooking shows.
