Before Michael Jackson was a pop star in his own right, millions of Americans knew him as the lead vocalist on The Jackson 5’s “ABC.” The tune made history because of its title. Jackson released two other songs that made history for the exact same reason.
The Jackson 5’s ‘ABC’ is tied for the No. 1 single with the shortest title
Many companies measure the success of popular songs but Billboard is the most famous. When people say a song is “a No. 1 hit,” they are likely saying that the song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. With The Jackson 5 and as a solo artist, Jackson was no stranger to success on the Billboard Hot 100.
Several songs are tied for having the shortest title on the Billboard Hot 100. They all have three characters in their names. Those songs include The Jackson 5’s “ABC,” Frankie Avalon’s “Why,” Edwin Starr’s “War,...

Jimmy Kimmel may have lost a vice president, but he’s gaining a Southern rocker.
While Kamala Harris had to take a raincheck on her planned Tuesday appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, it turns out hers wasn’t the only special visit the host had planned this week. As Variety reports, Kimmel is resurrecting his outdoor concert stage on Wednesday with Chris Stapleton as his first performer.

Coachella 2024 was the year of the A-list guests. Across all three days, top stars made appearances either onstage or in the crowd to support their musician besties. Olivia Rodrigo joined No Doubt, Will Smith pulled up for J Balvin, Justin Bieber sang with Tems, Billie Eilish threw a last-minute party at the DoLab stage, and Shakira even announced a world tour during Bizarrap’s set.
The talk among some festivalgoers ahead of Coachella suggested that this year’s lineup might underwhelm, but the number of stars joining their friends onstage surely helped with that.

Music mogul Diddy and Usher were very close, as the Bad Boys CEO was instrumental in helping the singer’s career. But at one point, it was alleged that Usher went to Diddy for help. And Diddy refusing to help the star caused a temporary rift between the two.

Usher isn’t hurting for money nowadays. According to Investopedia, the multi-platinum artist is worth $180 million. He’s managed to maintain his longevity nicely, having earned $40 million doing shows in Las Vegas.

A former bodyguard of music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has claimed that Combs possessed incriminating tapes of politicians, princes and other notable individuals who attended his parties.
Combs, who has faced a barrage of accusations from physical abuse to rape and sexual trafficking, recently had his residences in Miami and Los Angeles raided by the Department of Homeland Security. Federal agents seized computers and electronic devices during the operation.
In an interview with The Art of Dialogue YouTube channel, Gene Deal, who was present the night Notorious B.I.G. was shot in 1997, she revealed the extent of Combs’ alleged activities.
Deal stated, “I don’t think it’s only celebrities gonna be shook. He had politicians in there; he had princes in there. He also had a couple of preachers in there.”
Deal added, “Can you imagine he had every room bugged.”

Ever since the raids on Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ homes in California and Florida a name that’s been coming up a lot is Jay-Z. Part of that has to do with fellow rapper 50 Cent who has been trolling both men on social media following the news.
In one Instagram post, 50 put up an image of Jay’s face on the side of a milk carton with the word “Missing” written above the photo and captioned it: “Anybody seen Jay Lol” with several laughing emojis and “Puff said … ain’t answering his phone. Lol.” Then in another post, the “In da Club” artist shared a pic of the “99 Problems” rapper waving to a camera and wrote: “Here is Jay-Z last reported seen waving at Puffy jet” with an airplane emoji.
While there have been several lawsuits brought against Diddy recently alleging sexual assault and abuse spanning over three decades, Jay-Z has not been accused in those.

While living with Sean “Diddy” Combs, R&b pop star Usher said that he “went there to see the lifestyle — and I saw it.”
After raids on Combs’ homes earlier this month, an interview from 2016 with Usher and Howard Stern on The Howard Stern Show has resurfaced.
In the interview, Usher speaks on the year that he spent living with Combs. He was 13 years old at the time.
Combs was the founder of Bad Boys Records and there have been claims of “very curious things” had happened at his L.A. and Miami residences over the years.
On March 25, law enforcement including Homeland Security and federal agents raided his homes after two lawsuits against him made sex-trafficking allegations.

Following the 2022 Nft boom, Bored Ape Yacht Club was one of the most popular names in the market, at least for a while, before its value eventually tanked. Many Hollywood heavyweights, including Kevin Hart, Justin Bieber, and Madonna, jumped onto the Nft bandwagon following the Nft craze back then.
But following the fluctuations in the Nft market, most NFTs, including Bored Ape by Yuga Labs, witnessed a notable decline in their value, with celebs holding on to it, suffering a major loss. Hart becomes the new Hollywood A-lister to join this list, as he has reportedly incurred a massive loss after selling his Bored Ape Nft.

Giovonnie Samuels, a child actor hired for three seasons of Nickelodeon’s All That in the early 2000s, dreamed of becoming a TV star. As she filmed her intro dance to TLC’s “All That” for the show’s title sequence, those aspirations became real. She lived out her dreams again as she interviewed Tony Hawk — who taught her how to kickflip — for Stacey Chit, a mock talk-show segment.

The next evening, the showcase pivoted in another, no less potent, direction, mixing up hip-hop with innovative sounds from Ghana, South Africa, Nigeria, and more.

Yara Zaya was just trying to put a smile on her fans’ faces by playing a joke on her husband, Jovi Dufren, but it backfired.
The 90 Day Fiance star proved she has a sense of humor and showed it off on Instagram, but her critics didn’t find it very funny.
Jovi recently returned home from a work trip, and to conjure up some laughs, Yara made a cardboard sign to welcome him back.
Yara filmed herself and her daughter, Mylah, carrying a sign into the airport parking lot for Mylah to hold when Jovi landed.
The sign read, “Welcome home from rehab, Daddy,” and the song Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home) by Usher played in the background.
At the end of the video, Jovi held the sign, expressing disapproval to the camera with his face as he realized he’d been punked.
