Courtesy VevoMariah Carey’s been looking back on her album The Emancipation of Mimi ahead of its 20th anniversary, and in honor of the occasion, she’s contributed to a Vevo Footnotes edition of “We Belong Together.” In that behind-the-scenes look at the clip, she reveals why she said yes to the dress a second time.The video for “We Belong Together” continues the story Mariah started telling in the video for “It’s Like That,” which set up a love triangle between her and actors Eric Roberts and Wentworth Miller. In “We Belong Together,” Mariah is marrying Roberts’ character, but when Miller shows up to the wedding, she ends up running away with him, still wearing her elaborate bridal gown.In the Vevo Footnotes, Mariah comments that she was happy they were able to land Roberts for the clip “because he’s an actor that I really admire.””I was excited to be able to tell a story that spanned over two music videos. … I knew we’d be able to bring them together despite the songs being sonically different,” she continues. “I also really loved the fashion choices, going from wearing a black two-piece [in ‘It’s Like That’] to wearing a wedding dress by Vera Wang.”Not just any Vera Wang gown, though: It’s the one she wore when she married Tommy Mottola in 1993. They split in 1997. Mariah comments in the Vevo Footnotes, “Since I was going to do a scene with a wedding dress, rather than spend tons of money on a new dress, we just used the one I had lying around.”Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio.

UniversalThe new trailer for the Jordan Peele-produced sports horror film Him leaves it all on the field.Marlon Wayans stars as a championship quarterback who offers to train a rising football star played by Tyriq Withers. But as we see in the teaser, his means of achieving success may have sinister consequences. “If you want to transcend the game, you have to dig deep,” Wayans’ character says in the trailer. “Your mind and your body have to be in sync. Talent is how hard you’re willing to work. No days off. No sleep. We grind. I’m never good enough … that’s how great people think.”He continues, “So you’re gonna have to ask yourself: what am I willing to sacrifice?”The film, directed by Justin Tipping, also stars Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, Jim Jefferies, Akeem Hayes and Tierra Whack. It hits theaters Sept. 19.Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Shareif Ziyadat/Getty Images for Sean “Diddy” CombsSean “Diddy” Combs’ criminal sex trafficking trial will begin in May as scheduled after the judge on Friday denied a defense request for a two-month adjournment.Given that trial is not scheduled to begin until May 5 with jury selection, Judge Arun Subramanian said it was “unclear why there isn’t sufficient time to prepare,” especially with four different law firms now representing Combs.Newly hired defense attorney Brian Steel, Young Thug’s lawyer, joined the defense table during a hearing but did not speak.The judge agreed to allow alleged victims to testify under pseudonyms. Cassie Ventura is expected to testify under her own name.The judge agreed with a defense request to receive outtakes of interviews conducted for a documentary produced by Warner Bros. The interviews were conducted with potential trial witnesses.Combs appeared in jailhouse beige and was given a moment at the end of the hearing to communicate with his mother and one of his sons. He told them “I love you” and “We’re good.”Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Cindy Ord/WireImageSpike Lee has nothing but praise for A$AP Rocky, who stars opposite Denzel Washington in his upcoming movie, Highest 2 Lowest.During an appearance on Carmelo Anthony’s 7PM in Brooklyn podcast, the director said A$AP’s acting skills are “fire.”“I mean, there’s some scenes with him and [Denzel] head-to-head, he ain’t backin’ up,” Lee says. “It’s like, ‘I’m here too!’ Very, very happy with the way the film turned out and looking forward to sharing with the world.”Lee said it also seemed fated that A$AP and Denzel would be in a movie together given the fan chatter online.“What’s funny is I was looking at some Instagram [post] four or five years ago,” he said. “And people were saying that A$AP looked like he’s Denzel’s son … and then in the film we used that.”It was previously reported that A$AP had a “main role” in the film. Ice Spice also makes a cameo.Highest 2 Lowest, a “reinterpretation” of Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 film High and Low, will debut at the Cannes Film Festival on May 19.Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio.

John JayDon’t you hate it when ninjas unexpectedly bust through the windows of your house? It’s enough to give anyone “Anxiety” — which is what happens in the official video for Doechii’s massive hit of the same name.In the visual, Doechii’s chilling in a bedroom in a nice suburban house when someone breaks the window. She leaves the bedroom and people appear from out of nowhere, grab her and carry her into the living room, as the ninjas smash through the windows. After being placed on the couch with creepy-looking twins, she battles a fire on the stove, a nasty-looking Doberman pinscher and falling chandeliers as the people keep grabbing her and moving her around.She eventually runs out of the house, where she’s joined by multiple dancers in the street. After dancing with them, she staggers back to the house and approaches the window, where we see Doechii from the beginning of the clip — and understand that it’s Doechii herself who’s broken the window and set the whole visual in motion.”Anxiety” is based on the Grammy-winning hit “Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye featuring Kimbra. Multiple times in Doechii’s video we see a man and a woman wearing the same geometric body paint that Gotye and Kimbra wore in that song’s memorable video.”Anxiety,” the follow-up to “Denial Is a River,” is Doechii’s first top-10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio.

Warner Bros. PicturesMichael B. Jordan gets double the trouble in Ryan Coogler’s latest movie, Sinners. He plays twin brothers Smoke and Stack, World War I veterans who go back to their Mississippi hometown to open a juke joint — but are met with vampires and the harsh reality of the Jim Crow laws in their community. MBJ tells ABC News the film was a first for him in many ways.”I never did a horror film before and playing two characters, and twins at that … I think the combination of all those things makes this experience like truly, truly unique and special for me,” he says.Hailee Steinfeld, who plays Mary, one of Jordan’s love interests in Sinners, praises his performance in the film.”I was so in awe the entire time of Michael and his ability to so seamlessly go between the two all while keeping a smile on his face and setting the tone for the rest of us,” she says. Sinners, out now in theaters worldwide, marks the fifth film Jordan and Coogler have worked on together. Their previous collaborations are Fruitvale Station, Creed, Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Astrida Valigorsky/Getty ImagesIt was once Lil Wayne’s desire to perform the Super Bowl LIX halftime show but not anymore. Following the snub that saw the NFL choose Kendrick Lamar over him to headline in his hometown of New Orleans, Wayne told Rolling Stone he’d never consider headlining the halftime show again. “They stole that feeling,” he tells the magazine in a new cover story. “I don’t want to do it. It was perfect.”As Wayne explains, his disappointment about the Super Bowl is not unwarranted. He explains he was under the impression he’d secured the role of halftime performer after the NFL encouraged him to step out and be more accessible to the public ahead of the 2025 Super Bowl.“To perform, it’s a bunch of things they’re going to tell you to do and not do, a**** to kiss and not kiss,” he explains, noting he’d even stepped out of his box to try new things. “If you notice, I was a part of things I’ve never been a part of. Like [Michael] Rubin’s all-white parties. I’m doing s*** with Tom Brady. That was all for that. You ain’t never seen me in them types of venues. I ain’t Drake. I ain’t out there smiling like that everywhere. I’m in the stu’, smokin’ and recording.”After Kendrick was revealed to be the halftime performer, Wayne says someone at the NFL reached out and issued apology, saying they aren’t responsible for making decisions for the halftime show.“All of a sudden, according to them, they got curved. So, I’m going to have to just settle with whatever they say,” he says.Wayne clarifies he’s cool with both Kendrick Lamar and Jay-Z, whose company Roc Nation selects the halftime show performers. Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio.

Ser Baffo/Paramount+After teasing his new album at Paris Fashion Week, JID’s giving fans a taste of what’s to come. Arriving Friday is his new single “WRK,” which he says followed his disappointment to the reception of his last project, 2022’s The Forever Story.“Starting this new journey coming off THE FOREVER STORY has been a very strange, productive, yet tedious process,” he wrote in the caption of a post announcing the song. “I remember not feeling like I got what I think I deserved after that album came out and it sent me into a dark place (for maybe 20 mins cuz I ain’t no b****).”“Fast-forward to Pluss playing this beat for me in the studio and all I could hear was my OG coach saying, ‘Let’s go to WRK,’” he continued. “I live my life by the saying ‘You can only control what you can control.’ So this is the first step into a new world that I control…and it’s f***** UGLY.””WRK” is currently available to presave.Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio.

Loretta Devine and Quinta Brunson spoke on her behalf, representing her start in a Broadway version of Dreamgirls to her current role in Abbott Elementary, the show that helped her win her first Emmy.”I’m amazed at her ability to get things done,” Devine said during the ceremony, as reported by ABC7. “That’s Sheryl Lee Ralph. She was strong then and she still is strong.””To be around her is to be around Hollywood history, grace and legend,” Brunson told the crowd at the ceremony. “She is a master class in what it means to be an eternal and consistent diva. She commands the room and gives you a show. She is who you came to see, and she is our star.”Sheryl then took the mic to share a message of gratitude, especially for those who paved the way for her.”I want generations to see what’s possible, that their dreams are valid,” Ralph said. “That their voice is powerful and their potential limitless.”Sheryl’s husband, Vincent Hughes, daughter Ivy Coco Maurice and son Etienne Maurice were in attendance, as well as Jenifer Lewis, the cast of Abbott Elementary and many of her sorority sisters from Delta Sigma Theta.Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio.

Paras Griffin/Getty Images, FILESean “Diddy” Combs formally asked the judge overseeing his criminal prosecution on Thursday to exclude one of the more dramatic pieces of evidence from his upcoming trial: a March 2016 video from the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles that depicts Combs kicking and dragging then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.The defense asserted that CNN, which first obtained and aired the video, “altered, manipulated, sped-up, and edited” the footage such that it is “wholly inaccurate” and inadmissible.CNN has said it never altered the video and did not destroy the original copy of the footage, as the defense alleged.”The more complete footage of the incident — in contrast to the government’s sensationalized CNN cut — contradicts the government’s representations,” defense attorney Alexandra Shapiro wrote in a court filing last November first alleging the manipulation.Combs apologized after the video came out publicly and said, “I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.”In a video posted to Instagram in May 2024, shortly after the video was released, Diddy acknowledged the video and apologized, saying, “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that.””I hit rock bottom — but I make no excuses,” he continued. “My behavior on that video is inexcusable.”Now, the defense has asked the judge to hold a hearing at which a forensic video analyst would testify the video is “not a fair and accurate reflection of the actions depicted.”Federal prosecutors have yet to respond in court papers. They’ve previously pointed to the video as evidence of sex-trafficking Cassie for a freak off in which she was forced to engage in sex acts with male prostitutes. Prosecutors also previously alleged the video was evidence of the danger Combs could pose to women if released on bail.Combs has pleaded not guilty to five federal counts and is scheduled to go on trial in May. His attorneys have separately asked for a two-month delay to resolve other evidentiary disputes.Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Photo by Prince Williams/WireimageDrake is escalating his fight against his record label over their amplification of Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us,” alleging in an amended complaint, “UMG waged an unrelenting campaign” to spread the allegedly defamatory rap as widely as possible.The new complaint said UMG made significant financial investments and leveraged its professional connections to arrange for “massive amplification of defamatory claims” to more than 133 million viewers at the Super Bowl and more than 15 million viewers at the Grammys.“UMG has unleashed every weapon in its arsenal, including, on information and belief, certain practices that are unlawful,” the amended complaint said. “It is not just fans of rap music who now believe that Drake is a “certified pedophile,” because it is not just fans of rap music who have been repeatedly exposed to the song’s lyrics. Instead, the Recording has become ubiquitous, in significant part because of UMG’s deliberate efforts designed to accomplish just that.”Drake accused UMG of removing copyright restrictions on YouTube and Twitch to ensure content creators would republish the track. Drake also accused UMG of covertly offering financial incentives to third parties to stream the song, play it on the radio “and to otherwise promote and endorse the Defamatory Material, all without ever publicly disclosing the payments.”UMG will respond in court papers but has previously sought to dismiss Drake’s lawsuit, casting him as the sore loser of a rap battle.Drake is undeterred.“Drake’s amended complaint makes an already strong case stronger,” Drake’s attorney, Michael Gottlieb, said in a statement. “UMG’s PR ‘spin’ and failed efforts to avoid discovery cannot suppress the facts and the truth. With discovery now moving forward, Drake will expose the evidence of UMG’s misconduct, and UMG will be held accountable for the consequences of its ill-conceived decisions.” Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio.

Disney/Randy HolmesCoco Jones has two goals for her upcoming debut album, Why Not More?: to further connect with fans and showcase the versatility of R&B.“I’m really trying to push the boundaries of what R&B can be,” Coco tells Billboard. “Because I have so many influences — I have what my mom taught me as a kid, Disney Channel influences, and then I have me as a young adult — I feel like I blend genres naturally as a personality. I wanted to match that energy with the album and continue to show the versatility of R&B.”Coco also wanted to turn it up a bit and “kind of let my hair down and be riskier,” taking fans’ feedback along the way.“I make music for my listeners, and I want them to be happy. I want them to have music that makes them feel heard,” she explains. “Having positive perceptions — having any, opinions — is always crucial because music is subjective. But I make it so that it works for [the listeners].”She says the album is “authentic, charismatic [and] vulnerable,” marking the start of a new chapter in her life.“I’ll look back and say, ‘That was this era,'” she says. “But right now, ‘It’s chapter one of a very long story, hopefully.'”With a tour kicking off in May, Coco teases, “We’re gonna have some fun, we’re gonna cry a little bit, we’re gonna get in our bag. Definitely going to have some flips, have some remixes, have some old stuff that I think is really catchy and really fun brought back in and kind of remix with my new stuff.”“At the end of the day, I hope that you walk away feeling like you know me more and you’re excited for the next time,” she adds.Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio.

Dalvin AdamsSeth Rogen is the head of a film production company in the new Apple TV+ show The Studio. His character, Mark Remick, gets promoted at Continental Studios and attempts to maneuver the ups and down in Hollywood while adjusting to the demands of his new role.In the show, Mark often meets up with his team to brainstorm ideas about films, promotion and more. Dewayne Perkins, who portrays Tyler, Continental Studio’s head of publicity, tells ABC Audio about his experience of working with Rogen.”It was great. I worked with Seth Rogen first as a writer. I was a co-EP on Sausage Party, the animated show on Amazon. And I feel like that was when we first met and he really got to see kind of my comedic chops and kind of how I function in an ensemble and working spaces. So going into The Studio, I felt a level of comfort and ease, and everybody was just very chill,” Dewayne says.”I joke with [Seth] and I always tell him, like, he’s the best white man I’ve ever worked with,” he continues. “He’s been my blueprint for a while. … Kind of the multi-hyphenate aspect of it where he can have his stoner movies, he can act in Oscar-nominated movies, he could produce shows like The Boys, but then he can write Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Like, I just enjoy people who have the power to kind of exist the way that they want to. And so that is something I really was learning on set, seeing him act and direct at the same time.” Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

It’s things you don’t even dream of because the dream is too big,” said Cube, who was honored for his contributions to Hollywood. He credited John Singleton for his start, noting the late director was the one who inspired him to write his own movie.Cube got his hands and feet imprinted, with his family, including son O’Shea Jackson Jr., and friend Mike Epps in attendance.Epps talked about Cube being “the most influential part of my life apart from my dad.” “I listened to his music as a teenager. I’m still starstruck of this dude. I’m still amazed at his talent,” he said in his speech.O’Shea joked about the recurrent question he’s received about his experience being Ice Cube’s son. “It’s cool,” he said. “Ice Cube’s cool. Which is the number one quality you want from an ice cube.”Ice Cube later took to Instagram to reflect on the day, which he described as legendary. “Honored to continue to receive my flowers in a business I never thought I’d be apart of,” he wrote.Cube also spoke to ABC7 about his upcoming tour, which will mark his first tour in a decade. “I think my forte is truth to power and I think speaking the truth has gotten me power so, you know, I think it’s really about celebrating from NWA all the way to my new records and everything in between,” he said.Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio.
