Rihanna is back in her bag, and this time, it's courtside. The beauty mogul and multi-hyphenate superstar just announced that Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin are now the official beauty sponsors of the WNBA's reigning champs, the New York Liberty. The new partnership is giving glow, game, and greatness – and we are here for it all.
This will be Fenty's first-ever whole team collab in the WNBA. The collab is also another example of how Rihanna continues to champion power, play, and presence for women—on and off the court. Keep scrolling for details.
The collab represents a full-circle moment between the beauty empire and one of the hottest teams in women's sports. Let's not forget – Fenty was born in NYC. So this collab isn't just smart branding its a move rooted in legacy and local love.
As WNBA viewership climbs and women's sports gain their long-overdue shine, Fenty x NY Liberty shows us that Black women aren't just participating in the culture—we are the culture. The Liberty will rock Fenty logos on their warm-up jackets and shooting shirts throughout the season. At the same time, WNBA fans can enjoy in-arena beauty activations and custom product drops.
And yes, even Ellie the Elephant has a role! The Liberty's lovable mascot is getting the Fenty treatment.
Rihanna summed it up perfectly in a media statement: 'The women of the New York Liberty exemplify such beauty, power, and strength, so to have Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin become a part of their journey this season is incredible.' That same strength makes Rihanna a beacon for Black women everywhere, showing that motherhood, mogulhood, and major moves can coexist.
And she's far from alone. This Mother's Day, we're shouting our Rihanna and several other celebrity moms who inspire us. Give these Black women their flowers for not only killing their career and business games but for balancing it all looking effortless at the same time.
Here are a few more mommy moguls we love.

Jess Hilarious Posts Compilation Of N3on's Most Racist Moments After Awkward ‘Breakfast Club' Visit

Streamer N3on's recent visit to The Breakfast Club was awkward to say the least, as the online personality was confronted for his past racist trolling, as well as his 'chat' — a.k.a. his loyal fanbase — spewing racist language in real-time during the interview. During various post-interview livestreams, N3on expressed his appreciation for be welcomed onto the show while also calling his interview an 'interrogation,' as he believed hosts Charlamagne The God, DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious and Loren LoRosa were attempting to bait him into a controversial response. He also thanked fellow streamer Adin Ross, who chimed in with insults for the hosts while encouraging N3on during the Breakfast Club Q&A. N3on's fans have also been vocal online, believing he deserves an apology. Jess Hilarious, however, dismissed the idea with a video of her own, posting a compilation of the streamer's most racist moments — including several racists digs at fellow streamer Kai Cenat. She was also sure to note that N3on's disposition changes when he's around Black people he doesn't know, as he didn't confront them with any of his grievances, but waited until he was 'BACK IN THE HOUSE' on his computer to do so. 'And @n3onsingh is still currently talking slick…but BACK IN THE HOUSE! [laughing emojis] remember you come back in a year….'make that change' Michael Jackson! SOME SAY WE WENT TOO HARD, I SAY WE DIDNT DO ENOUGH! Regardless…it's all love,' she captioned the clip. Check it out below. N3on has been upfront regarding his past racist statements, but insists he has since become a 'better person.' He also apologized to Kai Cenat for calling his mother a 'fat Harriet Tubman b***h.'

When is 'Smurfs' streaming? Here's our best guess

The '80s are back (remember "Trolls"?) and that means the Smurfs are back, too. This new take on the classic blue crew comes from Paramount and Nickelodeon Movies, with Rihanna voicing Smurfette in a version that's way more modern than the last time you probably saw the classic toon. It just released in theaters, so if you're wanting to hear new Rihanna music or dance along in the aisles while the Smurfs turn every potential adjective into "Smurf" or "Smurfing" or some variant, you'll have to leave your home. Because as far as watching from home goes, there's no official streaming release date yet. That said, we can make a solid guess. If you'd rather skip the theater, you likely won't have to wait much longer. Here's what we know about its home release schedule so far. Looking to get your Smurf on? Right now, the only way to do so is by heading to the local cineplex. "Smurfs" is playing exclusively in theaters following its release on July 18. There's no confirmed digital or streaming release date yet, but based on typical patterns for Paramount films, we can make an educated guess about when the movie will be available to watch at home. Paramount generally follows a 45-day theatrical window before making its movies available to purchase or rent on digital platforms like Amazon's Prime Video, Apple TV, and Google Play. That puts "Smurfs" on track for a digital release sometime in late August 2025, possibly around Aug. 26. After that, it's likely to begin streaming on Paramount Plus around mid-September. This two-month post-theatrical timeline mirrors what we've seen with other recent Paramount movies like "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem." Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. We'll update this page if there are any changes or official confirmations, as there have yet to be any from Paramount itself just yet. "Smurfs" reimagines the classic cartoon and this time centers on Smurfette (Rihanna), who begins to question who she is in a world where every other Smurf seems to have a clear role: Baker Smurf bakes, Brainy Smurf thinks, but what exactly does she do? That leads Smurfette to set off on a journey of self-discovery that takes her beyond the village she calls home. Along the way, she teams up with some familiar faces as well as some new allies to stop a dark and mysterious threat (spooky!) and uncover long-buried secrets about the Smurfs' origins. Oh, and let's not forget: It's a musical. So if you didn't like that about the "Trolls" revival, it might not be the nostalgic return that you're looking for, but you might want to stick around anyway, because, well, Rih.

When Caitlin Clark opened up about the unreal hype ahead of her WNBA debut: "People love the long shots, people love the passing, people love the fire"

When Caitlin Clark opened up about the unreal hype ahead of her WNBA debut: "People love the long shots, people love the passing, people love the fire" originally appeared on Basketball Network. Caitlin Clark has already gained cult status despite it being only her sophomore season in the WNBA. She is praised as a game-changer in women's basketball due to her long-range shooting, playmaking, competitive fire, and swagger-like demeanor. A college basketball phenom, she drew attention from her days at the University of Iowa, where she represented the Hawkeyes. Clark meant business from the beginning, setting a new benchmark in the points and assists columns. She achieved several milestones along the way. Clark won the Naismith College Player of the Year on back-to-back occasions (2023 and 2024). Wrapping up her collegiate career, she emerged as the NCAA's all-time leading scorer. During this time, the 23-year-old also became a household name, with all her games sold out. Gearing up for her much-anticipated WNBA debut, she sat down with Robin Roberts for an interview, addressing all the surrounding noise and explaining what made her game so special. 'I think it's just the style of basketball that I play, but also people love the fire and emotion that I have, and like the smile I always have on my face. To be honest, I don't get nervous for games because I know this is just fun for me. People love the long shots, People love the passing, People love the fire,' said Clark, who recently had her college jersey No. 22 retired. Caitlin Clark Effect A term used to signal the increased popularity of women's basketball, owing to Clark. This was evident from her record attendance and viewership in her last two seasons at Iowa. One example is the 2024 NCAA Women's Basketball Championship game, which drew 18.9M views. Her presence has certainly popularized the WNBA to a significant degree, reigniting the Hoosier Hysteria phenomenon. In 2023, Iowa participated in a preseason exhibition game against DePaul and Kinnick Stadium, which set an attendance record of 55,646. According to a CBJ report, Clark had a $82.5M impact on the Iowa economy in consumer spending and contributed an estimated $36.5M to the Indianapolis economy. Thanks to her, Fever has also emerged as the second most valuable franchise behind the New York Liberty. WNBA career so far The Indiana Fever selected Clark as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft. Following a historic run at Iowa, there were a lot of expectations for her. Not disappointing, she was named ROTY. Adding to the accolades were the All-Rookie First Team and All-Star Game selections. Clark led the Fever to its best record (20-20) and first playoff appearance since 2016. Facing a first-round exit, they were swept at the hands of the Connecticut Suns. She was awarded the 2024 ESPY for best WNBA player after her successful debut. Entering her sophomore season, Clark has been dealing with several injuries. Nevertheless, she has managed to maintain her upward trajectory. In the 13 games that she played, she has averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.8 assists, and 1.6 steals. Clark's selection was a no-brainer with Indiana hosting the All-Star Weekend in 2025. She had also announced her participation in the 3-point contest. Sadly, she was left with no choice but to withdraw from the event due to her injury and the rehab protocols. Hopefully, she will return soon, especially with numerous fans crowding arenas to watch her story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Jul 21, 2025, where it first appeared.
