Bad Bunny Teases A New Album Coming Later This Year

by

Earlier today a new interview with Bad Bunny done by Vanity Fair hit the internet. In the interview, he covered numerous subjects that fans were excited to hear about. The biggest was his relationship with Kendall Jenner, but he didn’t really give any clarification on the couple. In fact, he mostly took the opportunity to express his issues with fans who feel entitled to know intimate details about celebrity couples.

He also used the interview to react to his Album Of The Year snub at the Grammys earlier this year. He explained that at first, he didn’t think much of the loss until he began to see the reaction online. The more he read fans responses the more he began to agree with them that it was a robbery. Finally, he teased fans with the potential of an album later this year. As you’d expect from Bad Bunny he was pretty light on details but fans were no less thrilled to find out that they could be getting new music soon. Check out the entire interview below.

Bad Bunny Teases New Album Later This Year

A new album isn’t the only music that fans are excited for. Later this month Drake will release his new album For All The Dogs. When Bad Bunny attended one of the shows on Drake’s “It’s All A Blur” tour last month Drake shouted him out and announced that they had another collaboration on the way. When the album drops on September 22 fans are anticipating an appearance from the reggaeton superstar.

Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner have been attending quite a few public gatherings together. Before going to a Drake show the pair attended a 50 Cent concert, but nobody told 50. Afterwards he called out Live Nation upset that they didn’t inform him the pair were in attendance for his show. What do you think of Bad Bunny teasing the potential of a new album coming soon? Let us know in the comment section below.

Bad Bunny Is Frustrated By Fans Expecting Transparency In Kendall Jenner Relationship

by

Around late July, reality star Kendall Jenner and Latin music superstar Bad Bunny began popping up in public places together. While it was just an unsubstantiated fling at first, things appeared to be getting more and more involved as the pair were seen together more often. They began popping up at shows together. First sharing pics from a 50 Cent concert and being spotted alongside Kim Kardashian at a Drake tour stop. While that night was dominated by the announcement that Drake had a collab with the reggaeton star on his new album, the dating curiosities soon returned.

In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Bad Bunny talks about plenty of things fans have been dying to hear. When asked about Jenner, unsurprisingly, he didn’t disclose any details. Instead, he took the opportunity to express his issues with the personal transparency often expected by major public figures. ““[Fans] don’t know how you feel, they don’t know how you live, they don’t know anything, and I really don’t want them to know. I’m not really interested in clarifying anything because I have no commitment to clarify anything to anyone. I am clear and my friend Jomar is clear and my mother is clear. They are the only ones to whom I have to clarify anything.” Check out the full interview below.

Bad Bunny Isn’t Clarifying Anything

Bad Bunny also lets slip plenty of details on other aspects of his life and music in the interview that fans are eating up. He shared his thoughts on his controversial loss to Harry Styles for the Album Of The Year Grammy earlier this year. He explains that he didn’t think much of it until seeing the overwhelming public reaction. The intense backlash from fans convinced him that he really should have won.

Bad Bunny wouldn’t share any concrete details on his forthcoming album. While VF teases that it could be arriving this fall, he doesn’t elaborate except to say that he’s been inspired by ’70s’70s music. What do you think of Bad Bunny’s comments on clarifying his relationship status with Kendall Jenner? Let us know in the comment section below.

The Weeknd On “Blinding Lights”: “I Thought It Was Gonna Be A Flop”

by

Abel Tesfaye is going through major changes, and the world is certainly taking notice. As the 33-year-old continues to distance himself from his long-time stage name, The Weeknd, he appears to be moving away from the world of music and instead, expanding his acting and producing resume. Fans have been tirelessly waiting for the quickly approaching premiere of HBO’s The Idol, in which Tesfaye stars alongside Lily-Rose Depp. In addition to that, he reportedly wrapped filming on another project – this one opposite Jenna Ortega – over the weekend, though few details regarding that have been shared at this time.

Somewhere in the midst of his busy schedule, the After Hours artist found time to sit down with Vanity Fair for their annual TV issue. The Weeknd posed for the magazine’s cover. He also spoke with them about his Sam Levinson-directed series, his music career, and plans for the future, among other things. Perhaps the most surprising issue from Tesfaye in his interview was an admission that he wasn’t confident in one of his biggest songs in recent memory, “Blinding Lights” before releasing it.

The Weeknd Lacked Confidence in “Blinding Lights”

“I thought [that song] was gonna be a flop,” the Canadian confessed. Thanks to a boost from platforms like TikTok, however, “Blinding Lights” went on to find massive success. It’s since been certified diamond by the RIAA with 10 million copies sold. Reflecting on how social media influences music today, Tesfaye explained, “It’s a new generation of angsty teens discovering all the dark music like when I was 14. Kurt Cobain, Wu-Tang, and all these songs that, as a kid, I probably shouldn’t be listening to, and 50 Cent. This f*cking dark and amazing escape.”

Elsewhere, the genre-bending vocalist recalls some of his earlier releases, admitting that, in the beginning, his music was “very cult-y.” Interestingly, The Idol sees him take on the role of a Hollywood cult leader. He lures Depp’s young pop star character into living a wild and salacious life in the name of fame and fortune.

Ciara Had The Perfect Response To The Backlash Against Her See-Through Oscars Party Dress

by

During Ashley Graham’s awkward red carpet interview with Hugh Grant, she made at least one good point: The Vanity Fair Oscars party is definitely where Hollywood’s A-list goes to cut loose. At this year’s soiree, Seth Rogen smoked with Megan Thee Stallion, who confirmed her new album, and Pedro Pascal was floored at the possibility that he’d just gotten a glimpse of Rihanna.

Ciara also let it all hang out, both literally and figuratively, donning a backless, completely transparent fishnet dress. In fact, her gloved hands got the most coverage of anything on her body, save for nude pasties and a black thong covering her “goodies” (see what I did there). For what it’s worth, she was completely on-theme, as most of the Vanity Fair attendees showed up in sheer ensembles in homage to “barely there” old Hollywood glam.

Well, it didn’t take long for some segments of the online peanut gallery to zero in on Ciara, who is a lightning rod for people’s projections and petty criticisms. Some said she was dressed inappropriately as a married woman — which makes so little sense, I won’t even bother addressing how dumb it sounds — while others said she was presenting a bad role model (at a party where no kids were present).

Ciara herself, though, was unfazed by the nonsensical critiques and had the perfect clapback over on TikTok. In a video captioned “selective outrage,” she strolled through her living room clad in a bedsheet covering her entire body backed by the sounds of red carpet photographers. A sarcastic title card reads, “POV: How I’m pulling up to Vanity Fair next year.” The obvious implication is, of course, that she will not actually be doing that and will keep doing her while (some) dudes on the internet stay mad. Good for her. Check out her response below.

Seth Rogen Recounts Smoking Weed With Megan Thee Stallion

by

Seth Rogen is a well-known, well-loved actor and comedian. His friendly charm and goofy laugh allow him to mingle with stars all across Hollywood. In an interview on March 14th with Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Rogen talks about his night at Vanity Fair. After the Oscars ceremony, stars will typically flock to the Vanity Fair after-party to hang out with their peers. In his interview with Jimmy, Seth talks about his night with Steven Spielberg, among other things. But it was his interaction with Megan Thee Stallion that caught everyone’s attention.

Megan Thee Stallion is a rapper who quickly rose to fame after releasing her first album in 2020. She is known for her independent and assertive attitude. While Megan and Seth Rogen have very little in common, they are both able to easily make friends. In his interview, Seth states that he had never met Megan before the Vanity Fair party. Megan approached the movie star to smoke weed, and assured him that he and her “brother” would get along very well. The three set out to smoke together and Seth didn’t think twice about it. But later, a person behind the scenes informed Seth that Megan does not have a brother.

Seth Rogen Is Confused About Who He Smoked With

Regardless of his confusion, Seth Rogen chose to exchange phone numbers with the mysterious man. When asked if Seth got along with Megan’s brother, he stated, “We really did, yeah, which is unfortunate because he might not exist.” Then the actor jokingly looked at the camera and said, “Hey Travis, call me.” Seth, despite not knowing what was going on, seems open to making new friends either way. But there is a likely explanation as to why people were confused on the matter.

It is common among a lot of communities to make a family out of their friend circle. While Megan Thee Stallion has expressed that she has no biological siblings, she most likely has a lot of friends who she considers her “sisters” and “brothers.” But for someone like Seth Rogen, who is not used to this tradition, it’s easy to see why he was confused. However, it is unconfirmed as to what Megan Thee Stallion really meant. Check back to see if Seth is able to decipher who he met at the after-party.

Tina Lawson Links With “Houston Homegirl” Megan Thee Stallion

by

The Lawsons and Knowles-Carters love themselves some Megan Thee Stallion, including matriarch Tina Lawson. The mother of Beyoncé and Solange Knowles is just as famous as her daughters, as she was instrumental in the development and success of Destiny’s Child. She’s accepted as a mother to those she loves, affectionately going by Ms. Tina, and it’s clear that artists are just as fond of her as they are her children.

It was a celebration of film last weekend at the 2023 Academy Awards, and the Lawsons attended in all of their fashionable glory. Of course, Ms. Tina shared a few highlights, including a cute snapshot with none other than Megan Thee Stallion. The two ladies embraced for the photo and puckered up with their best kissy-faced pose. “With the gorgeous Megan The Stallion two Houston Homegirls hanging at The Vanity Fair Oscars Party,” wrote Lawson in the caption. “A long way from Third Ward❤❤❤❤ these young ladies know how to pout !! I just pucker I got to learn😂😂.”

Tina Lawson: The “Savage”

The link between Ms. Tina and Megan was a family affair, and not just because the two women are both from Houston. Megan famously partnered with Beyoncé on the remix to “Savage,” sparking a viral moment unlike any other in the Houston Hottie’s career. The Lawsons and Knowles-Carters have supported the rapper, especially through her legal ordeal involving Tory Lanez. Megan has always spoken kindly of the famous family and how they have embraced her. She even joked about Bey on the red carpet for Vanity Fair‘s Oscars event.

A reporter for Entertainment Tonight asked Megan about securing those coveted Renaissance World Tour tickets, and the Traumazine star joked that she put in a few phone calls to make it happen. Megan stated in the past that she turns to Beyoncé and Jay-Z for advice, and the music icon is more than happy to share wisdom. Additionally, in the same Oscars interview, Megan revealed she’s been hard at work on her new album. She didn’t give any details as to what we can expect, but with all she’s endured, fans are awaiting a project where she puts it all on the line. Check out Ms. Tina with Megan above.

Kylie Jenner Attends Vanity Fair’s Oscars After-Party In Maison Margiela With Kendall Jenner & Gigi Hadid

by

Awards season has been unfolding over the past few weeks, and on Sunday (March 12) evening, one of the biggest ceremonies of all finally took place – the 2023 Academy Awards. Though the show itself is mostly for those who work in the film industry, a few musical talents were on the red carpet as well. Among them was Rihanna, whose baby bump was proudly on display. Of course, the subsequent after-parties are where plenty of models and socialites flocked in the hours following the Oscars, including Kylie Jenner.

The mother of two was one of the many famous beauties at Vanity Fair’s annual soirée. Her on-again-off-again baby daddy, Travis Scott, was nowhere to be seen, though Jenner did have a few of her closest friends to dance the night away with in her custom Maison Margiela gown. Earlier this year, she wore another stunning look from the fashion house while attending their Paris Fashion Week runway.

Kendall Jenner joined her little sister last night, looking as stunning as ever in a Jean Paul Gaultier gown which perfectly hugged her hips. After the party, the 818 Tequila founder continued to fuel romance rumours with Bad Bunny by leaving in the same town car as him. Nothing has been confirmed between the two just yet, though the increasing frequency of their time together is very telling.

Others hanging out with the makeup mogul included Gigi Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, and Stassie Karanikolaou. Throughout their evening, the group posed for several sweet pictures together. Keep scrolling to see Kylie Jenner’s girls’ night out following the Oscars, and let us know what you thought of her designer dress in the comments.

Ciara’s Sheer Dress Teases Her Fantastic Figure During Vanity Fair’s Oscars Party

by

The 2023 Oscars have come and gone, but we’re not ready to quit gushing over last evening’s looks quite yet. Many of Hollywood’s most elite were attending the prestigious ceremony on Sunday (March 12) night, dressed in their very best. Of course, the various after-parties are where even more fashionistas came out to play, showing off their designer duds. One of the most popular functions to check out after the award show is the annual Vanity Fair bash, which Ciara broke several necks at with her bold gown.

The mother of three and her husband Russell Wilson were lucky enough to get on the guest list, and they accordingly made sure all eyes were on them. For her part, Ciara markedly left little to the imagination in a Dundas sheer netted down, worn over a tiny black thong and with long. Velvet gloves in the same colour also covered most of her arms. Her heels came from Santoni, and her dark hair was chopped into a chic bob, perfectly framing her beautifully beat face.

Following a glamorous night out on the town with her man by her side, the “Jump” hitmaker is doing her best to relive it again today (March 13). On Monday morning, Ciara uploaded a Reel to her Instagram feed captioned, “Oscar Nights✨,” and soundtracked to M.I.A.’s “Bad Girls.” Throughout various clips and photos, we see her posing in her nearly-naked gown, making sure to give the world a glimpse of her curvy cheeks.

In the midst of her thirst traps, the 37-year-old included a photo of her and Megan Thee Stallion taken at the event. The “Hot Girl Summer” hitmaker made her first appearance of 2023 last night, and clearly, friends like Ciara were more than happy to see her and her larger-than-life hair back in the public eye. See their sweet link-up for yourself below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Cardi B’s Red Dress Steals The Show At Vanity Fair Event

by

Cardi B just stunned onlookers at Vanity Fair’s post-Oscars party in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday (March 12). Moreover, she wore a beautiful red dress with matching lipstick and a stream behind her as she strode down the red carpet. Also, she paired the gown with what seem to be silver heels, plus a sheer see-through headpiece that covered her whole face. Overall, it was a beautiful look, and one that viewers unfortunately missed on Oscars night amid so many other celebrities. What’s more is that her husband Offset also appeared alongside her, wearing a simple but elegant black tuxedo.

Of course, the two are probably enjoying the success of their new McDonald’s meal and merchandising line. However, it hasn’t been all apple pies and Oreo McFlurry sweetness for the two new fast-food moguls. Many of the restaurant’s franchises refuse to promote the meal, as their managers believe Cardi and the former Migo don’t align with the company’s values. Still, the partnership’s brought both parties a lot of success and crossover attention, so they’re looking at the big picture over the minute details.

Cardi B Takes Over Vanity Fair‘s Oscar Party In Style

In other news, the Invasion Of Privacy MC also made headlines recently thanks to a seemingly squashed rap beef. While she didn’t do anything herself, the discussion came from fellow rapper BIA, who denied “switching up” on Cardi recently. Furthermore, she responded to people saying that she deleted her tweets praising Cardi when she was hanging out with Nicki Minaj. Those two have a significant beef, and so many accused BIA of taking a side by deleting her love for the “WAP” star.

“Keep it 100,” BIA began. “Sweetie, I didn’t switch up on anybody because I don’t know Cardi in real life. I’ve never met Cardi, we’ve never had a conversation. Like, I don’t have no issues with her, it’s all love, but I don’t know her.” Still, many fans didn’t buy it, although that could just be a general online thirst for beef. It’s unfortunate that they’re pitted against each other, but at least Cardi’s big red carpet smile and cheeky exclamation of “I’m so scared!” hints that she’s paying it no mind. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news, updates, and amazing fits from Cardi B.
