Nicole, Ashley, and Kimberly, together with Mya and Lil Kim, will kick off the tour on June 5 in Palm Desert, California. What more? The PCD announced the release of their first single in six years, Club Song.

It's been a while..., the trio teased in a follow-up video, which showed the women standing on set in matching black bodysuits. Introducing your new obsession;Club Song. ;She's everywhere now. And soon, we'll be bringing her to the stage alongside all of your favorite PCD tunes. Melody Thornton, Carmit Bachar, and Jessica Sutta, the band's original members, are missing. The Don't Cha singers revealed that their comeback has been in the works since their 2019 reunion, which included Carmit and Jessica, was canceled because of the 2020 Covid-19 epidemic.

We've always been connected since Rona, Nicole told BBC's Heart, along with Ashley and Kimberly, on March 12. After I dedicated my every waking breath to theater over the past three years, I was like, ‘This is amazing; this is so triumphant. And now I miss my girls, and I miss touring. So yeah, we should do a world tour; that sounds about right.” “I hit up the girls,” the Tony winner added. “And they came in already looking like Charlie’s Angels.”

Ashley says that fans will be able to celebrate both the original Pussycat Dolls, who debuted in 2010, and the current chapter. I think we've got to give a little nod to the OG choreo, she went on, that the children love, know, and adore. But we also want to add a new twist. There will
be some exciting events. Getting back onstage and interacting with the fans is going to be so much fun.

For Nicole, this tour symbolizes the women's unshakeable ties with one another and their followers. Our tour is called Forever, Nicole explained. Because PCD baby is not a fad. It's everlasting.

Michael B. Jordan delivered an emotional acceptance speech after winning the Academy Award for Best Actor at the 2026 Oscars, celebrating the artists and supporters who helped shape his journey.↳

The 39-year-old star earned the honor for his performance as twin brothers Smoke and Stack in the film Sinners, a project directed by
longtime collaborator Ryan Coogler.↳

During the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Jordan began by thanking his family and the creative team behind the film, calling the
moment “surreal” and deeply humbling.

He also gave special recognition to his costars Wunmi Mosaku and Hailee Steinfeld, praising their performances and the energy they brought to the story.

“Wunmi, thank you for helping Smoke become who he needed to be,” Jordan said. He added that Steinfeld, who was at home preparing to welcome her baby, remained an essential part of the film’s heart.↳

Jordan then reflected on the legacy of Black actors who won lead acting Oscars before him, including Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Jamie Foxx, Forest Whitaker and Will Smith.↳

“I stand here because of the people who came before me,” he said, explaining that their achievements made his own success possible.

The win marked Jordan’s first Oscar nomination and victory, placing him among a competitive group of nominees that included Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Timothée Chalamet and Wagner Moura.

Earlier in the awards season, Chalamet appeared to be a strong contender after winning at several major ceremonies, but Jordan’s performance ultimately captured the Academy’s top acting prize.↳

Closing his speech, the actor thanked fans and colleagues who supported him throughout his career.

“Everybody in this room and everybody watching at home, thank you for
believing in me,” Jordan said. “I feel that support, and it pushes
me to keep growing, keep working harder and keep proving you right.”

The victory adds another milestone to Jordan’s career, which includes
acclaimed roles in Fruitvale Station, Creed and Black Panther, and
further cements his place among Hollywood’s leading performers.

In a surprising turn toward reconciliation, Memphis rapper NLE Choppa has publicly apologized to reality TV star Chrisean Rock for disrespectful remarks made about her infant son, Chrisean Jr., during his long-standing feud with Blueface. The apology, delivered during a candid Twitch livestream marks a significant attempt by the 23-year- old artist to de-escalate a personal conflict that many fans felt had crossed a moral line.

The tension between Choppa and Blueface had been simmering for months, largely fueled by back-and-forth challenges to a celebrity boxing match. However, the dispute took a dark turn in early 2026 when Choppa declined a match and instead suggested that their respective toddlers should “duke it out.” In a series of now-deleted social media posts, Choppa further insulted Chrisean Jr., using derogatory terms to describe the child’s physical development.

During the livestream, a visibly repentant Choppa admitted that he allowed his emotions and the heat of the rivalry to cloud his judgment. “I genuinely apologize for what I said about your beautiful baby boy,” Choppa said, addressing Rock directly. “It was not right in no way, shape, or form, and I can’t believe I let my emotions get me that far. You didn’t deserve that, your baby didn’t deserve it.”

The “Shotta Flow” rapper, who has recently pivoted toward a more “spiritual” and “growth-oriented” public persona, acknowledged the difficulty of Rock’s position as a single mother under constant public scrutiny. “I see you trying your best to be great, I see you trying, and I salute you,” he added. “I feel like I was a test on your spirit in that moment and you passed it with grace.”

Blueface, who is currently navigating his own legal and financial hurdles, reportedly responded to the gesture with cautious forgiveness, telling Choppa on social media to “move around” now that the apology was on the record. While Chrisean Rock has not yet issued a formal public response to the livestream, the apology has been viewed as a positive step toward establishing “rules of engagement” in rap feuds.

Twelve years after famously declaring himself “hip-hop’s first billionaire,” Dr. Dre (André Young) has officially crossed the ten-figure threshold. According to the Forbes 2026 World’s Billionaires list, the legendary producer, rapper, and entrepreneur is now a certified member of the “three-comma club” with an estimated net worth of $1 billion.

The 61-year-old music mogul ranks 3,332 nd globally, tying with fellow pop icon Rihanna and several other prominent business figures. This milestone makes Dre the second rapper in history to be officially recognized by Forbes as a billionaire, trailing only Jay-Z, whose net worth has grown to an estimated $2.8 billion, and one of only six musicians currently on the list.

Dre’s journey to the billionaire ranks has been a long-documented saga of massive wins and high-stakes legal hurdles. In 2014, following the $3 billion sale of Beats Electronics to Apple, Dre recorded a viral video alongside actor Tyrese Gibson claiming he had reached the milestone. However, Forbes clarified at the time that after capital gains taxes and a split of the proceeds with business partner Jimmy Iovine, Dre’s actual net worth fell just short. In the years following, a highly publicized and costly $100 million divorce settlement with ex-wife Nicole Young further delayed his official ascent.

The financial surge that finally pushed Dre over the line in 2026 is attributed to a combination of his long-standing assets and new, lucrative ventures. His Aftermath Entertainment label remains a powerhouse, housing a catalog that includes some of the most profitable artists in hip-hop history, such as Eminem and Kendrick Lamar. Additionally, his recent foray into the premium spirits market with Snoop Dogg, specifically the 2024 launch of their “Gin  Juice” ready-to-drink cocktail line, has proven to be a massive commercial success.

With his inclusion in the 2026 rankings, Dr. Dre joins an elite group of musical billionaires that includes Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Bruce Springsteen. For fans and industry analysts, the announcement serves as the definitive confirmation of a legacy built on the “unmatched cultural and commercial instincts” that have defined West Coast hip-hop for nearly four decades.
