Why is Rihanna in Belgium this weekend? Hint: Smurfs
BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgium rolled out the blue carpet Saturday for Rihanna and other stars who turned out for the world premiere of the new Smurf movie. Rihanna produced ″Smurfs″ and voices Smurfette in the summer family film, a live-action animated reboot that takes the little creatures on a Smurfette-led rescue mission to save Papa Smurf. At Saturday's showing in Brussels, the visibly pregnant Grammy winner chatted with children, linked arms with someone dressed as her cartoon alter-ego, and joined the audience arm in arm with A$AP Rocky. Film director Chris Miller held Smurf toys and other cast members at the premiere included James Corden and Dan Levy. Many of the guests wore a shade of Smurf-ish blue. The movie premieres in the U.S. on July 18. Belgian comics artist Peyo created the Smurfs — known here as ″Schtroumpfs″ — and the Belgian capital embraced the premiere with a weekend of events. It took place in central Brussels, not far from a Smurf museum. The city's famed Mannekin Pis statue was dressed for the occasion as No Name Smurf. The city's Grand-Place held Smurf-themed events all weekend, and tourist buses and train cars were decorated in blue.

Not all of those purchases were on wax, but Thriller has remained a must-own for vinyl collectors for a long time, so it can usually be found on the list. At the same time, the Grammy-winning effort jumps from No. 30 to No. 25 on the Top Album Sales ranking, which blends all formats, including vinyl, CD, cassette, and digital downloads. Thriller Lives on Five Billboard Charts Thriller can be found on five charts this week, and it ascends on all of them.

Sydney Sweeney goes full Tinkerbell in plunging floral dress
Sydney Sweeney is a fashion icon. There are no ifs or buts about it. From her itsy bitsy throwback to 2004 in a microscopic minidress, to her Y2K bride look in a nude number, Syds knows how to turn heads. And, in her latest fashion offering, it looks as though she's taken inspiration from none other than Tinkerbell. The 27-year-old took to Instagram to share footage of the look, which consisted of a plunging floral dress that left little to the imagination. Complete with pink and green large flowers, plus a sparkly pink halter strap, the dress also featured ruffles down the back and front, and finished with a subtle pleated skirt. To accompany the princess-style dress, Sydney styled her signature honey blonde locks in loose mermaid waves, which only added to the ethereal vibe. Makeup-wise, she kept things simple with a smoky eye, a touch of blush, and nude lips. She also ditched the jewellery, which we're guessing was in a bid to let the stunning dress do the talking. After posting the vintage-filtered video, plenty of Sydney's fans flocked to her comment section to gush over the look. "My queen," one person said, as another penned: "Absolutely iconic." Elsewhere, a third typed: "The dress is giving Brittany Murphy in Uptown Girl," and honestly, we couldn't agree more, or be more obsessed with the comparison. Many also just dropped a string of heart-eye and fairy emojis. OK, is anyone else now trying to find the high street version of this for our summer wardrobe?
