The new school year is just underway and college students across the country are already flexing their flirting skills. In fact, Tinder sees the highest influx of new 18-year-old members during freshman orientations. To encourage this new cohort of users to put themselves out there and make new on-campus connections, Tinder is partnering with “Tap In” rapper Saweetie to launch Swipe Off. The nationwide challenge will award the college or university with the most Swipe activity, proving it’s at the forefront of crush culture, a free concert headlined by Saweetie, along with a surprise special guest.

Starting today, the Swipe Off challenge is open to select colleges and universities enrolled in Tinder U, an in-app feature that lets collegiate users easily connect with others at their school. The school that sends the most Likes (…or Nopes) on Tinder through October 6th will win a free concert for its campus.

“Tinder is always working to match the vibrant energy of our college users. They form the core of our user base, and over the years, we’ve seen countless campus connections blossom into meaningful relationships,” says Stephanie Danzi, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing at Tinder. “We created The Swipe Off challenge to feed into that energy and encourage them to unlock all the possibilities of the college experience that come from meeting new people.”

It’s no coincidence that the Icy Girl herself is headlining the ultimate Swipe Off experience for the winning school. Saweetie has been vocal in her affinity for both  the college experience and Tinder, with the proud USC alum referencing the brand in her viral hit single “Tap In.”

“Whether they were a fling, a friend, or something more serious, the people I met at USC are what made my time there a blast. I’m excited to partner with Tinder in encouraging today’s college students to ‘tap in’ to the possibilities that come from meeting new people.” says Saweetie.

Steve Harvey defends his wife after more rumors and allegations swirling online. The latest is Marjorie Harvey was the reason his previous marriage ended.

“Quit talking about she was in my other marriage and ruined it. She didn’t,” Harvey said on his morning radio show. “Marjorie and I got together in 2006. We had nothing when I asked her to marry me and wanted to get married in 2007. Do you know what I was doing in 2007? Nothing. We had four stations, we built this. This woman got down in that foxhole with me and turned this into something. In 2007 we got married, in 2008, we found out someone had stolen my tax returns and we were $22 million in debt.

“But in 2009, I got Family Feud. In 2009, the book came out. This woman got in the hole and built this with me. She ain’t steal nothing, and I’m tired of y’all talking about my girl.”

You can hear Harvey address the rumors below.

Last week, Harvey also spoke in defense of his wife after rumors of cheating swirled online. Harvey addressed the rumors at Invest Fest.

“Before I get started, just let me say I’m fine,” Harvey said as he came to the stage. “We’re fine. I don’t know what y’all doing, but find something else to do because we’re fine. Lord have mercy.”

Marjorie also added her own statement on Instagram, “My husband I don’t usually stop to address all the foolishness and lies that have been spread about us. However to whom much is given much is required. I understand that with my platform comes some sort of responsibility to those that may not be as strong as we are.”

You can see both below.

Cardi B Eyes Super Bowl Performance: 'I Would Say Yes'

Cardi B has her eye on the Super Bowl headlining performance. The “Bongos” superstar stated the big performance is now on her list.

Popping up on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Cardi B revealed she has softened her stance on performing the show after she reportedly passed up the chance in 2019 due to the NFL’s issues with Colin Kaepernick.

“Yes, now I would say yes. Things change,” Cardi said.

Before a possible Super Bowl performance, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are ready to light up the stage at the 2023 “VMAs” with the debut performance of their newly released single, “Bongos.” The electrifying event will occur at New Jersey’s Prudential Center on Sept. 12th, starting at 8 PM ET/PT.

The dynamic duo previously received significant recognition at the 2021 “VMAs” when their iconic hit single, “WAP,” earned them five nominations, including “Song of the Summer,” “Video of the Year,” “Song of the Year,” “Best Collaboration,” and “Best Hip Hop.” “WAP” made history as the first female rap collaboration to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, spent four weeks at the top spot, and was certified 8x platinum in the U.S.

Cardi B, with an impressive 29 “VMAs” nominations to her name, will also compete this year with GloRilla for “Best Hip Hop,” a category she previously won in 2019. She’s known for her memorable “VMAs” moments, including presenting Missy Elliott with the prestigious Vanguard award and her 2018 stunt where she teased fans with a glimpse of her child Kulture, revealing a hidden Moon Person trophy in a baby blanket.

Megan Thee Stallion, an award-winning icon with 19 “VMAs” nominations and two wins, delivered a spectacular performance of “Hot Girl Summer” on the pre-show stage in 2019, earning her the Moon Person for “Best Power Anthem.” This year, she’s nominated in categories like “Best Choreography” and “Best Art Direction.”

With their upcoming “Bongos” performance, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are set to deliver another unforgettable “VMAs” moment.

Aaron Rodgers Makes Jets Debut with 9/11 Tribute

Aaron Rodgers stormed the Metlife Stadium field for the first time as a New York Jets quarterback with the American Flag. The moment honored those lost during 9/11 but also served as a temporary triumphant moment for Rodgers.

Aaron Rodgers going down in the opening quarter of their season is now at all what the New York Jets expected. On his fourth snap of his first series as a Jet, Rodgers was sacked. It is believed that he has suffered an Achilles injury.

Rodgers will get an MRI on Tuesday, which head coach Robert Saleh believes will confirm the team’s fears. “The MRI is probably going to confirm what we think is going to happen, so prayers tonight,” Saleh said.

“But it’s not good.”

After the injury happened, Rodgers returned to his feet and appeared to try to take a step before sitting back on the turf. According to ESPN, Rodgers injured the same leg in OTAs this spring.

Former No. 1 quarterback Zach Wilson replaced Rodgers, threw a touchdown, and led the Jets to a 22-16 win. We will learn more about Rodgers’s injury today.
