Gilgeous-Alexander, who’s currently favored to win MVP, is having quite the season.

On the other hand, the Celtics haven’t shown any signs of slowing down since winning the NBA Finals last season. Tatum and Brown continue to prove that they’re one of the best duo’s in league history, alongside an extensive roster of weapons including Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porziņģis, and veteran Al Horford. Behind the three-point line, there’s no team better than the Celtics right now.

Beyoncé has starred in a number of films, but according to Tina Knowles, the 35-time Grammy winner’s big screen days are behind her.
The businesswoman revealed on Instagram March 7 that her superstar daughter has no plans to return to the big screen. Sharing a clip of Bey singing “I’d Rather Go Blind” while portraying Etta James in 2008’s Cadillac Records, Ms. Knowles wrote, “This is still one of my favorite movies, and it makes me miss the fact that my child decided not to continue with movies.”
“She killed it in this movie,” the designer added. “And she so unselfishly donated her salary to the Phoenix house.”
Phoenix House is a nonprofit that offers recovery treatment for individuals struggling with substance abuse. Bey reportedly gave $4 million in earnings from Cadillac Records to the foundation.

The Darnell Martin-directed musical biography is just one of several films the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer has starred in, though it’s been many years since she last appeared on screen. She made her acting debut in the 2001 TV film Carmen: A Hip Hopera, after which she had roles in 2002’s Austin Powers in Goldmember, 2003’s The Fighting Temptations, 2006’s The Pink Panther and Dreamgirls, and 2009’s Obsessed.
Since then, Bey has stuck to voice roles in animated projects. In 2013, she voiced Queen Tara in Epic, and she also played Nala in 2019’s The Lion King remake and 2024’s Mufasa: The Lion King.
But while fans may miss seeing her on the big screen, the Ivy Park founder definitely has a lot of other projects on her plate. She’s currently gearing up to embark on her Cowboy Carter Tour supporting her Billboard 200-topping LP of the same name, which won best country album and album of the year at the 2025 Grammys. Last year, she also launched a new haircare brand called Cécred.
The musician still took time to honor one of her former costars, though, after Angie Stone — whom she appeared alongside in The Fighting Temptations — died in a car crash earlier this month. “Thank you for your voice, your strength and your artistry,” read a message dedicated to the R&B icon on Bey’s website. “Your incredible legacy will live on forever.”

LISA lets her Swiftie flag fly whenever she does karaoke, with the BLACKPINK star revealing in a new video that her go-to song for the occasion is one of Taylor Swift‘s early hits.
While recounting some of her “firsts” with White Lotus costar Tayme Thapthimthong in a recent Teen Vogue video, LISA had an immediate answer to a question asking which song she’s first to queue up during karaoke. “For me, I’ll go for Taylor Swift,” she said. “‘You Belong With Me.’”
Even so, LISA recently told Jimmy Kimmel that she preferred to watch from the sidelines during the cast’s frequent karaoke sessions on set. “I’m just sitting in the corner of the room cheering them, hyping them up,” she said March 4 on the comedian’s late-night show, noting that she didn’t ever partake in singing while filming and instead preferred to dance. “I feel weird for me to grab the mic and sing karaoke. [There’s] a lot of pressure.”

The Thai rapper has long been a fan of the “Karma” artist. In March 2024, she attended one of Swift’s Eras Tour shows in Singapore and posed with the 14-time Grammy winner backstage. “Had such a blast at The Eras Tour! Amazing performance💘 @taylorswift,” LISA wrote on Instagram at the time, sharing photos of her friendship bracelets.
A few months later, LISA raved again about the show. “She’s incredible!” the K-pop star told Elle of Swift in August. “Singing alone on a stage for three and a half hours is crazy … I maybe could do it with a lot of practice.”
The “Rockstar” singer makes her acting debut in the third season of HBO Max’s The White Lotus, which premiered in February. While LISA plays Mook, an employee at the titular fictional hotel chain’s Thailand location, Thapthimthong portrays Gaitok.
While speaking to Teen Vogue with the English actor, LISA also revealed what she bought with her first-ever paycheck — “I think it was a pair of sneakers or something” — as well as recounted the first time she was ever recognized in public. “After I debuted with BLACKPINK, we all went to Thailand for a trip or something,” she said. “We had like a fan waiting for us at the airport. I was like, ‘Oh wow. They love us!’”
Plus, the performer shared the first K-pop idol she ever looked up to and admitted to being a little bit “shy to answer.” “I love BIGBANG,” she said, covering her face. “I can’t pick one because I love them all.”

With RuPaul’s Drag Race bringing back their Rate-a-Queen system for season 17, Billboard decided to rate each of the new queens every week based on their performance. Below, we take a look at the roast challenge to see which queens delivered the best jabs. Spoilers ahead for episode 10.
Even seasoned comedians will tell you that the format of a roast is inherently hard. But RuPaul’s Drag Race has never shied away from giving their queens a tough challenge. So, in the infamous words of Farrah Moan: “Let’s get this roast a-cookin’!”
On last week’s episode (aired Friday, March 7), RuPaul invited the eight remaining queens of the season to perform in the show’s inaugural Villains Roast. Bringing back recent alums Kandy Muse, Mistress Isabelle Brooks and Plane Jane as the guests of dishonor on the show’s format, Ru tasked the queens with writing up their rudest (and funniest) material to lampoon the villains of seasons past.
You would expect comedy killers like Onya Nurve and Suzie Toot to be the shining stars of this episode, but Lana Ja’Rae and Lydia Butthole Kollins proved that, even at this late stage of the competition, big swings can pay off. Both queens skewered the villains dais with ease, surprising both the judges and the audience at home with their quick-witted jokes on the main stage, where Lydia ultimately took home the win.
Yet even in an episode where two previously faltering queens proved themselves, all eyes were fixed on the drama of the week between Jewels Sparkles, Arrietty and Lexi Love. After Jewels gave both of the queens starting positions in the performance lineup that they didn’t appreciate, both Lexi and Arrietty took two different approaches to their performances. Lexi, ever the victim of her inner saboteur, spent the entirety of this episode wrapped up in her head, failing to deliver on her jokes on the main stage.
Arrietty, meanwhile, leaned hard into her derailment by stealing Jewels’ jokes, effectively dragging her former friend down with her into the bottom two. In a fiery Lip Sync For Your Life to “YA YA” off Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, Jewels stormed the stage, channeling all her fury into her stellar performance and leaving Arrietty as the latest queen to get the chop.
Below, Billboard takes a look back at episode 10 and ranks where our remaining contestants lie based on this episode and the season as a whole:

The upcoming season of You can’t come soon enough for Cardi B, who was almost speechless after seeing the trailer for the Netflix show’s fifth and final chapter arriving this spring.
On Sunday (March 9), the rapper helped announce that the first full-length preview of the April-slated season would be dropping the next day in a video posted to You‘s official Instagram. “Girl, I am shook — I just saw it,” she says in the clip, which came one day before the trailer dropped.
After giving fans the smallest taste of what to expect — “Joe got some money! He got a girl with money, chile,” she revealed — Cardi gave her ecstatic review. “I cannot wait for you guys to see the trailer,” she cheered, clapping her hands. “Y’all gonna gag! Got me gagging. Gagging!”

The two-and-a-half-minute trailer, which has since dropped on Netflix’s YouTube, opens with Penn Badgley’s Joe Goldberg back in the same place he started five seasons ago: New York City. This time, though, the fictional stalker-murderer is a famous, wealthy socialite thanks to his relationship with Charlotte Ritchie’s Kate. However, the horrors of his dark past continue to threaten to come to light and disrupt his new lifestyle, especially as he falls in love yet again with a new woman played by Madeline Brewer.
The preview reaches a tipping point when Joe declares, “There isn’t a line I wouldn’t cross to protect this family,” at which point Kate stops him in his tracks. “You want us to kill everyone who is suspicious of us for the rest of our lives?” she asks incredulously, to which he sinisterly replies, “Is that so wrong? If it’s for the right reasons?”
The trailer then devolves into a montage of Badgley’s character committing a number of violent atrocities, from choking one person to bashing someone else with a concrete brick. “The killer finale you never saw coming,” onscreen text teases viewers.
The fifth and final season of You is set to premiere April 24 on Netflix. It will arrive seven years after the show first debuted on the streaming service.
And if you’re wondering why the “WAP” rapper was the one to announce the new trailer’s arrival, Cardi is a longtime fan of the show. In 2021, she fangirled over its leading man on X — which was then still known as Twitter — before both the musician and Gossip Girl alum hilariously changed both of their profile pictures to photos of each other.
Later, Cardi’s Billboard Hot 100-topper “I Like It” was featured in the first episode of You‘s fourth season, which dropped in 2023. That year, Badgley told Rolling Stone that he would absolutely want the hip-hop star to make a cameo in the show, but only if the role was right.
“Would I want her to be in You? Yeah, if it worked,” he told the publication. “I wanted her to be in season four. But it has to work. You know? How could she be anybody but Cardi B?”

Ringo Starr has long loved country music as evidenced on his most recent album, Look Up, released in January.
The Beatles drummer brought that love to life with two concerts taped at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium Jan. 14-15 that CBS and Paramount+ will air tonight (March 10) as Ringo & Friends at the Ryman.
In this exclusive clip, Starr, with a little help from friends like Jack White, performs the Carl Perkins rockabilly classic “Matchbox,” which the Beatles covered on their 1964 EP, “Long Tall Sally.”
Other “friends” in the special include Sheryl Crow, Emmylou Harris, Mickey Guyton, Jamey Johnson, Rodney Crowell, the War and Treaty, and Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle, both of whom appear on the album with Starr. The artists join the drummer for selections from the new album, Starr’s solo hits and Beatles classics.

“I did love country music before I was in [the Beatles],” Starr told Billboard earlier this year. “We got plenty of it in Liverpool, because the lads who were in the merchant navy would bring not only rock and roll over, but country — and when country bands went on tour in England, they always played Liverpool.”
In addition to the performances, luminaries including Dolly Parton and fellow Beatle Paul McCartney share stories on Starr’s impact on their music.
Gunpowder & Sky’s Van Toffler produced the special with Starr and T Bone Burnett, who also produced Look Up.
“Producing Ringo & Friends at the Ryman with T Bone has been another wild ride — some of music’s finest playing the hell out of Ringo’s songs, including a few Beatles classics,” Toffler tells Billboard. “We handpicked a lineup of artists who not only have deep respect for Ringo’s legacy but could also bring their own unique spin to these songs, highlighting the great stories and messages behind them. Watching them reinterpret his music — whether through full-throttle rock energy or a stripped-down, soulful take — was a testament to just how timeless his songs are. And having Dolly, Lainey Wilson, and his fellow Beatle, Paul, talk about his love of country artists brought it all full circle, making the night even more meaningful.”
Working with Burnett enhanced the production, Toffler says. “T Bone is one of the greats: His encyclopedic knowledge of music and deep roots in so many legendary projects helped shape this into something truly special.”
Other Gunpower & Sky productions include its documentary on Crow, Sheryl (Showtime); the history of soft rock Sometimes When We Touch (Paramount+) and Lil Peep: Everybody’s Everything. Its Words + Music audio series features Beck, Eddie Vedder, Smokey Robinson and others, while new audio series Lighters in the Sky highlights the stories behind the greatest live performances from artists including Amy Winehouse, Bruce Springsteen and Led Zeppelin.
