The fallen pop duo of Robert Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan are having their story told in a new documentary titled Milli Vanillli, which premieres on Paramount+ starting Tuesday (Oct. 24). The new film will aim to provide an in-depth look at the rise and fall of the late ’80s and early ’90s singers through resurfaced interviews with Pilatus (he died in 1998) and Morvan, as well as record executives, the real singers on the album and more.

Before their fall from grace, the two models-turned-singers gained widespread popularity and fame for their first album, which was released in 1989. The success resulted in the set going platinum six times in the U.S., with the hit song “Girl You Know It’s True” selling over 30 million copies worldwide, according to a press release. They even won a Grammy for best new artist, solidifying the duo’s label as one of the world’s most popular artists in 1990. That is, until a live performance revealed that Pilatus and Morvan were lip-synching, with revelations that the two weren’t the singers on the album coming out later on. The duo’s Grammy was also later revoked.

Through clips and interviews throughout the documentary, viewers can expect a new perspective.

The pair infused the track with soul, adding soaring high notes, whistle tones and impressive vocal runs to their rendition, often boosting each other up during the larger moments of the song.

“I’m feeling good from my hat to my shoe/ Know where I am going and I know what to do/ I’ve tidied up my point of view/ I’ve got a new attitude/ I’m in control My worries are few/ ‘Cause I got love like I never knew/ Ooh oh ooo oh/ I’ve got a new attitude,” CORii and Ms. Monét soulfully sing on the chorus.

Following the pair’s performances, the coaches gave their feedback and shared moments during the showcase that stood out to them. Niall Horan went first, saying, “CORii, why did I not turn? The minute you opened your mouth, I was like, ‘So why did I face the wall for two minutes?’ To be honest, I do remember pitch issues in the blind auditions, but this was night and day, different level to where you were last time.”

Gwen Stefani complimented Monét’s stage presence and CORii’s improvement. “I’m so literally blown away by you. You are masterful, and you were being all swaggy up there,” she said of Monét. “I was like, ‘OK, she is literally slaying.’ But then CORii, you somehow started to lock into your voice. It was like, ‘Wow, she has range and power.’ You both have incredible stage presence and character.”

Ultimately, the decision was up to Reba McEntire, who had to choose between the two. The country icon praised both of the budding stars, even saying they “could go on the road as a duet right now.” After struggling to come to a conclusion, McEntire kept Monét on her team. CORii, meanwhile, was surprised by getting stolen by both Horan and Stefani, and chose the latter coach to guide her through the rest of the competition.

Kelly Clarkson Proves She’s a ‘Fighter’ With Christina Aguilera Cover

Dressed in a full leather outfit, Clarkson flawlessly belted the lyrics — which is no easy feat, as Aguilera is known for her impressive vocal riffs and melodies. “Makes me that much stronger / Makes me work a little bit harder / Makes me that much wiser / So thanks for making me a fighter,” she sings in the chorus, highlighting how a failed relationship made her stronger. The track choice is fitting for Clarkson, who filed for divorce from Blackstock in 2020 after seven years of marriage, and she channeled the pain of the split into her recently released 10th studio album, Chemistry.

“Fighter” was released on 2002 as the third single from Aguilera’s fourth studio album, Stripped. The empowering track, which was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, peaked at No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart upon its release.

Watch ‘American Idol’ Winner Iam Tongi Deliver a Laid-Back Cover of a Morgan Wallen ‘Dangerous’ Hit

Iam Tongi, season 21 winner of American Idol, has been hard at work since being crowned the show’s champion in May. The 18-year-old Hawaii native has been releasing solo music and posting covers of his favorite songs, the latest of which includes a cover of Morgan Wallen‘s “Sand in My Boots.”

The singer’s acoustic take of the song arrives alongside a video, which features him playing the guitar arrangement, with the help of another musician working to flesh out the country track’s twangier sections.

“Yeah, but now I’m dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado/ Like a heart-broke Desperado, headed right back to my roots/ Somethin’ bout the way she kissed me tells me she’d love Eastern Tennessee/ Yeah, but all I brought back with me was some sand in my boots,” Tongi languidly sings on the chorus, injecting his own flair into the song.

In a press release for the cover, Tongi shared, “I have immense respect for Morgan Wallen, and ‘Sand in My Boots’ is a song that truly touches my heart. The raw emotion in the lyrics and the soulful melody resonate with me on a profound level.”

“Sand in My Boots” served as the third single from Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album. The track peaked at No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent a total of 41 weeks on the all-genre tally.

Up next for Tongi is small tour of North America that’s set to kick off on Oct. 25 at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City. The trek will make stops in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Virginia, D.C. and North Carolina before concluding on Dec. 13 at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center in Kahului, Hawaii.

Here’s What Jay-Z Says Is the Right Answer to Whether $500K or Lunch With Him Is Worth More

At long last, the world finally has an answer to a question that has tormented social media for years. In a clip from Jay-Z‘s upcoming interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings interview with Gayle King, the music mogul weighed on whether it’s a smarter choice to choose lunch with him over $500,000 cash.

“You’ve gotta take the money,” the “Big Pimpin’” rapper said in a teaser clip, pointing out that all his wisdom is already in his work. “You’ve got all that in the music for $10.99.”

With a discography that spans 13 Billboard 200 No. 1 albums, collaborative projects with Linkin Park and Beyoncé, and hundreds of memorable guest verses, the Brooklyn rap icon isn’t wrong when he says it’s all in the music.

“I wouldn’t tell you to cut a bad deal. Like, take the $500,000, go buy some albums, and listen to the albums,” he continued. “It’s all there. If you piece it together and really listen to the music for the words, well, what it is, it’s all there.”

Jay-Z’s new two-part interview with King will feature an exclusive tour of the Brooklyn Public Library’s “Book of HOV” exhibit, a sprawling archival undertaking that chronicles the vast expanse of his career, from his lengthy Grammy-winning catalog to his landmark business deals across the realms of sports, music, alcohol, film and public service.

The “lunch with Jay-Z or $500K” meme has been going viral on social media — in various iterations — since at least 2017. The premise of the question is whether the rapper can provide an amount of wisdom and sound advice that would theoretically be worth more than $500,000 in cold, hard cash. The question has ignited passionate responses for years, with some pointing to Jay-Z’s storied career to justify choosing the meal option, while others place their bets on the money management skills and pick the $500K.

“Everything that I said was gonna happen, happened,” Jay-Z added in his chat with King. “Everything that I said I wanted to do, I’ve done.”

Watch Snoop Dogg Get a Very Special Birthday Surprise From Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly

The Doggfather only turns 52 one time, so it was fitting that when Snoop Dogg celebrated his half century plus two that his Step Brothers were on hand to give him his flower(s). At Saturday night’s Best Night of Your Life 2 Benefit, Snoop took the stage with host Will Ferrell and the actor’s Step Brothers co-star John C. Reilly to perform that 2008 comedy classic’s signature song, “Boats ‘N Hoes.”

After a comically long wind-up in which Ferrell and Reilly gave shout outs to nearly every city in the L.A. basin, they busted into “Boats,” before Ferrell stopped the performance that he said lacked a bit of spice. Saying it needed “a little LBC… some Strong Beach in the house,” or, perhaps, a bit of added “Kush factor” in the mix, the duo brought out Snoop, who helped them finish their track before they slid into the Doggfather’s iconic 1994 Doggystyle single “Gin and Juice.”

“Yesterday was a very special day,” Reilly said in a video shared on Snoop’s Instagram. “It was Mr. Snoop Dogg’s birthday. We’re about to sing happy birthday to the greatest rapper in the world!” That wasn’t all though. The pair also rolled out a multi-tiered birthday cake covered in sparklers — with a throne on top, naturally — which Snoop promptly used to help blaze up one of his ubiquitous blunts as the pair lead the audience in a round of “Happy Birthday” before Snoop blew out the candles.

Saturday night’s show was the second installment of Ferrell’s Best Night comedy/music fundraiser benefitting Cancer for College. The gig at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles was hosted by Ferrell and featured comedy greats Jon Stewart, Hasan Minhaj, Jo Koy, Roy Wood Jr., Cory Scovel, SmartLess podcast hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett as well as appearances by Beck, St. Vincent, Dogstar and Jack Black and Fred Armisen playing with Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready and the Casual Acquaintances all-star band.

Bad Bunny‘s acting and comedy chops were on full display during Saturday Night Live on Oct. 21.

The Puerto Rican star pulled double duty as host and musical guest on NBC’s long-running sketch comedy show, appearing in several hilarious skits alongside surprise guests Mick Jagger and Pedro Pascal.

In addition to his sketches, Benito also delivered two songs from his fifth studio album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. For his first performance of “Un Preview,” the rapper-singer received an unexpected intro from Lady Gaga, who announced in her best Spanish accent, “Puerto Rico y todo el corillo, Bad Bunny!”

Elsewhere in the episode, Jagger appeared in the “Telenovela” sketch with Bad Bunny, who portrayed a Spanish soap opera actor who gets slapped multiple times by his villainous father, played by the iconic Rolling Stones singer. Jagger made another cameo during the “Convent Meeting” skit, a hilarious parody of Sister Act 3.

The show kicked off with a monologue from Bad Bunny, featuring The Last of Us star Pascal, who showed up to assist with translating and give the music star comical advice for his opener. Pascal later appeared in a skit as an overprotective mother alongside the Latin music star.

Bad Bunny Gets Intro From Lady Gaga, Performs ‘Un Preview’ & ‘Monaco’ on ‘Saturday Night Live’

Bad Bunny pulled double duty as host and musical guest during Saturday Night Live on Oct. 21.

In between his comical sketches alongside Mick Jagger and Pedro Pascal, the Puerto Rican star delivered two songs from his fifth studio album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana.

Prior to his first performance of “Un Preview,” Benito got a surprise introduction from Lady Gaga. “Nueva York! Puerto Rico y todo el corillo, Bad Bunny!” the pop superstar and actress announced in her best Spanish accent. From there, Bunny delivered the track in amid a solid white background and coin-operated rocking horse, similar to the one seen the song’s music video.

Bad Bunny returned later in the episode — this time introduced by Last of Us star Pascal — for a dramatic performance of “Monaco,” which featured a pair of violinists and suited men in masks surrounding the musician at an elaborate dinner table.

The star-studded SNL episode also featured cameos by Jagger and Pascal. The iconic Rolling Stones frontman appeared in a Spanish telenovela skit and Sister Act 3 parody, while The Mandalorian star helped translate the rapper-singer’s monologue and appeared alongside him in a sketch about an overprotective mother.

Bad Bunny, who previously appeared as a guest on SNL in 2021, recently celebrated the release of his latest album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. The set serves as a follow-up to his blockbuster 2022 album, Un Verano Sin Ti, which topped the Billboard 200 for 13 weeks.
