Lizzo is stepping back into the spotlight with full force.
The multi-talented artist just announced her upcoming mixtape titled My Face Hurts From Smiling , set to release this Friday.
The project is already making noise, not just for its bold title and timing, but for its high-profile features from two powerhouse artists: Doja Cat and SZA. https://www.instagram.com/p/DLSzC1cyajx/?hl=en&img_index=2 https://www.instagram.com/p/DLSzC1cyajx/?hl=en&img_index=2
This mixtape marks a confident return for Lizzo, who has been relatively quiet since the 2022 success of her album Special .
With tracks like 'About Damn Time' earning her Grammy gold and mainstream acclaim, the new project feels like both a continuation and a creative reset — one that leans more into her rap roots, bold personality, and unfiltered charisma.
The rollout for My Face Hurts From Smiling was just as loud as Lizzo herself. She teased the release with a cheeky social post showing smiley-face emojis covering her middle fingers — a playful nod to the haters and a clear message that she's back on her own terms.
The title itself suggests duality: joy, defiance, and maybe a bit of sarcasm. As Lizzo put it, she's smiling — and daring you to question why.
The mixtape is said to feature a mix of high-energy tracks and melodic surprises. Her collaboration with Doja Cat, titled 'Still Can't Fuh,' is expected to bring fierce bars and viral energy, while her track with SZA, 'IRL,' leans into a more sultry, slow-burning vibe.
The combination of these three women — each dominating their own lane — adds a layer of anticipation and crossover appeal to the release.
Lizzo is also leaning into the freestyle and fun spirit that defined her earlier work.
Tracks like 'Yitty On Yo Tittys (Freestyle)' are rumored to channel the same wild, catchy energy that made her a breakout star, this time with even more confidence and control over her sound.
Whether you're a fan of her rap flows, her feel-good anthems, or her unapologetic confidence, My Face Hurts From Smiling is shaping up to be a mixtape with something for everyone — and a statement from Lizzo that she's still a force to be reckoned with.
Mark your calendars — this Friday, it's time to smile (and maybe twerk) again. https://www.instagram.com/p/DLSzC1cyajx/?hl=en&img_index=2

Beyonce Powers Through ‘Cowboy Carter Tour' Technical Malfunction: ‘Thank Y'all for Your Patience'
Beyoncé expertly handled a technical malfunction during her Saturday, June 28, hometown Cowboy Carter Tour concert. Beyoncé, 43, was performing '16 Carriages' from a fake red convertible suspended above Houston's NRG Stadium when the prop vehicle began tilting mid-air. 'Stop,' the Grammy winner repeated five times in footage shared via social media, pausing her musical rendition. 'Thank y'all for your patience.' Beyoncé calmly sat on the prop while crew members slowly lowered her to the stage, where she stood up to thunderous applause. Beyonce Becomes 1st Black Woman to Achieve No. 1 Country Album With 'Cowboy Carter' The pop star kicked off her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour in May, fresh off the record's respective Best Country Album and Album of the Year wins at the Grammys earlier this year. 'I just feel very full and very honored. It's been many, many years, and I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, all of the hard work,' Beyoncé said in her February speech, taking home the coveted Album of the Year trophy for the first time. 'I want to dedicate this to Ms. [Linda] Martell, and I hope we just keep pushing forward, opening doors. God bless y'all. Thank you so much.' Not only does Beyoncé love Cowboy Carter, but so do her fans and collaborators. 'I gotta say Beyoncé had the greatest country album of all time,' Willie Jones, who joined her on the song 'Just for Fun,' exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2024. 'And I'm so honored to be a part [of it.]' Stars React to Beyonce's Country Album: Lainey Wilson, Bobby Bones and More Jones, 30, further gushed that it was a 'super honor' to work with Beyoncé. 'To get the call and answer the call and pull up one idea, accept the call, and just even listen to the album,' he recalled to Us. 'Some of my friends from Nashville are also a part of the album. It's a momentous occasion, and I love that Beyoncé opened up so many people's ears to what she can do. It is like [a] dream come true, honestly.' Since the release of the country LP, Beyoncé has hit the road with her family by her side — and on the stage. Beyoncé's daughters, Blue Ivy, 13, and Rumi, 7, frequently join her to perform 'Protector,' among other songs, while her husband, Jay-Z, recently made a cameo during a Paris concert for a surprise medley. Beyoncé and Jay-Z, 55, have been married since 2008. In addition to Blue and Rumi, they also share son Sir, Rumi's twin brother.

Cassius Gems: Nicole Scherzinger's Most Sultry Instagram Moments
Source: TheStewartofNY / Getty Nicole Scherzinger celebrates her 47th birthday today, and given her longevity in the entertainment industry, she's got a lot to celebrate. The Honolulu, Hawaii native got her start as the frontwoman for The Pussycat Dolls in the early 2000s, which had hits like 'Don't Cha' and 'Stickwitu,' and was so popular that its 55 million record-selling run helped them become one of the world's best-selling female groups of all time. Even after all the success—which includes a Grammy nomination—the group disbanded in 2010. Scherzinger avoided the fall by offering her talents to the next crop of aspiring singers, becoming a judge on several shows, including The Sing-Off , The X Factor , two runs on The X Factor UK, Australia's Got Talent , and most recently, a gig on The Masked Singer, which ended in 2023. In the midst of that, she also won the tenth season of Dancing With The Stars . Lately, she's leaned into her onstage roots, and after initial stints in the plays Rent and Cats , she found herself making her Broadway debut in 2024 as the lead character in the musical Sunset Blvd . 'I've always dreamed of this. I'm so fulfilled now to be able to finally share all of my gifts and all of my abilities with the world and connect with people through my performance on a much deeper, soulful, spiritual level,' she told CBS Mornings . But in light of her newfound pivot, in a recent interview with Vogue , she spoke about her early days in The Pussycat Dolls and how it changed her perception of sex appeal. 'I think the initial idea of the Dolls was to be sexy for others, where I think for the women of today, their sex appeal is for themselves,' she says. 'Real strength is loving yourself, embracing yourself.' Now on her own terms, Scherzinger's got no problem showing off in thirst traps.

Drake's New Shirtless Selfie Leads To More BBL Jokes and Tummy Tuck Allegations
Source: Cole Burston / Getty The rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has had two very different effects on their immediate career trajectories. Kendrick dropped a new album in GNX , performed at the Super Bowl, and won five Grammys. But Drake just can't seem to shake an onslaught of criticism that only heightens with each social media post. His latest perceived misstep is a shirtless selfie he posted to Instagram showing off his abs in the mirror. The impromptu selfie covers his face and appears to have been taken near his bar, as a bunch of bottles of whiskey and tequila are shown on his shelves. Other photos in the carousel show him embracing the Texas lifestyle, like jogging on his property, a pair of sneaker-infused cowboy boots, and a rainy shot of his four-wheeler. In his usual move, the caption is some throwaway lyrics, which read, ' I'm wide awake for the nights that separate the type who get to it til they get it right from the type who just …type.' Drake showing off his gym gains is something he's done before, but since the beef reignited, unfounded allegations that he underwent liposuction or a tummy tuck are back making the rounds. Social media comments were hardly in his favor, with one writing, 'The untoned arms, but the super defined abs, Drake. I know what you are.' 'Drake fake abs look like the precut cookie dough squares omg,' another chimed in. Another claimed he could have just locked in for real results, adding, 'Access to the best trainers and healthiest food in the world, but chose to go to a plastic surgeon for fake abs. What a b-tch.' Kendrick even alluded to it on 'Euphoria' when he rapped , 'Let your core audience stomach that, Then tell'em where you get your abs from.' That even launched its side quest during the beef when MetroBoomin released the soulfully sampled 'BBL Drizzy' beat that Rick Ross instigated and created a $10,000 prize for whoever dropped the best freestyle over the beat. In an attempt to switch the narrative, Drake stole the beat for Sexy Redd's 'U My Everything,' reclaiming the nickname because he pays for so many BBL surgeries. Still, the jokes wear on. See how social media is reacting to Drake's latest Instagram post below. Drake's New Shirtless Selfie Leads To More BBL Jokes and Tummy Tuck Allegations was originally published on
