Tyler The Creator’s new album Chromakopia just dropped this morning (October 28). The project is full of features, but none of them are credited on the tracklist, so fans have been having fun figuring out who guests on the album.
Glover also joined Tyler at his Coachella set earlier this year. There, Tyler spoke about the rags-to-riches nature of their relationship, saying, “You know what’s sick? I used to hate that n****. Seriously, I don’t know why, I gotta go to therapy to figure it out. But then this n**** put this song called ‘Urn’ out, U-R-N. It was so undeniable, n****, I was at conflict with myself. I’m like, ‘F*ck, how could a n**** that I hate so much be so good?’ And now, the tables have turned and this n**** barely returns my calls. Donald, I f*ck with you. Thank you for putting out sh*t that exceeds expectations or the perception that n****s like us should make. I love you, thank you for existing, and thank you for coming out.”
Listen to “I Killed You” above and “Judge Judy” below.
Chromakopia is out now via Columbia. Find more information here.
There are many people who would pay good money to get a glimpse of what Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s home life is like. Well, Bradley Cooper is somebody who’s seen it, and he described the experience as “crazy.”
During a recent SAG-AFTRA Foundation interview with Willie Geist, Cooper explained that he was trying to recruit Beyoncé to star alongside him in A Star Is Born, and he reminisced about a time he visited her at home:
“I went to Beyoncé’s house, and Jay-Z was watching Judge Judy, I still remember. Yeah, I’m not kidding. And I was freaking… I was so… I remember I had this weird cough when I was pitching it to her, it was so crazy. And she was incredible and so was he. And we developed it for like a year together. I mean, she’s one of the greatest people of all time, and then that fell through.
For the record, the bit about Beyoncé nearly being in the movie isn’t news, as it’s mentioned in this 2018 Variety feature. Interestingly, as that piece also notes, the idea for the A Star Is Born remake (the original movie came out in 1937 and was remade in 1976) had been around since the ’90s. At one point, Whitney Houston was apparently considered to star.
Check out Cooper’s full interview above, with the A Star Is Born story starting at about 41 minutes in.
Brooklyn-born Judith Sheindlin, best known to the world as Judge Judy, took the path less trodden in television. A former prosecutor, Sheindlin’s unwavering pursuit of justice was forged in the fiery crucibles of family courtrooms. However, it was not just her knowledge of the law that made her a standout but her unique blend of candor, wisdom, and razor-sharp wit. These attributes would eventually lead her to become one of the most recognizable and wealthiest television personalities, with a net worth of $470 million in 2023, according to CAknowledge.

The show that bears her name, Judge Judy, was not just another court TV show but a phenomenon that transcended the genre. She brought the law down from its lofty, often inaccessible heights and made it something tangible, relatable, and yes, often entertaining. Her no-nonsense approach, her demand for personal responsibility, and her ability to dissect complicated issues with unerring accuracy made her not just a TV judge but an emblem of justice.
In a stunning 25-year run, Judge Judy dominated daytime television ratings, winning three Emmy Awards along the way. Judy’s rulings were not merely verdicts but lessons in accountability, integrity, and common sense.

Judge Judy is a wife, mother, and grandmother outside the courtroom. She is married to Judge Jerry Sheindlin, and they share a passion for law and family. Though less publicized, her charitable efforts are a testament to her values. She has actively supported educational initiatives, providing scholarships and funding mentorship programs for young women. Additionally, her books, such as Don’t Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It’s Raining, encapsulates her straight-shooting philosophy that resonated with millions. In her personal life, as on the bench, Judge Judy’s commitment to truth and accountability shines through.
A Judicious Blend Of Enterprise & Altruism

Judge Judy’s influence extended into various other business pursuits. Her production company, Queen Bee Productions, brought more courtroom drama to the television scene. However, it’s in her philanthropy that Judy’s core principles come alive. Further, her contributions to American education, especially in aiding the development of debate programs, reveal her commitment to empowering the next generation with critical thinking skills. Through the Sheindlin’s Her Honor Mentoring program, she has actively worked to foster leadership and ambition in young women.

The narrative of Judge Judy is an inspiring amalgam of legal acumen, media savvy, and unyielding principles. Her net worth of $460 million is substantial, yet it fails to capture the essence of her impact. She has not merely entertained but educated, not simply adjudicated but inspired. Her courtroom was a stage, and her judgments were not just legal decisions but moral compasses for many who tuned in daily.
In an age where the truth often seems malleable, Judy’s unwavering commitment to honesty and integrity is refreshing and necessary. Her gavel has been a symphony of sense and sensibility, resonating far beyond the television screen into the hearts and minds of those who seek justice with a touch of wisdom and a dash of wit.
