Rihanna Is Rumored to Reschedule Comeback Concerts for 2026

You don't need us to tell you that the Rihanna Navy is hungry for more music from the multihyphenate. It's been nine years since she released her last full-length project, Anti, which featured hits like 'Kiss It Better,' 'Consideration' with SZA, and 'Work' with Drake. Ofc, the Fenty Beauty founder recently dropped 'Friend of Mine' in tandem with the release of Smurfs this summer. However, we haven't seen RiRi grace the stage since 2023, when she headlined the Super Bowl halftime show and served a stunning rendition of her Black Panther ballad, 'Lift Me Up,' at the Oscars. Hopefully, we won't have to wait much longer for Rihanna to hit the road again. According to several reports, the A-lister is rescheduling a slew of comeback shows in London for next year. Per Rolling Stone UK, an insider told The Sun, 'Rihanna pulled the plug just days before her 2025 tour was due to be announced. There ended up being issues with production and scheduling conflicts, plus she didn't feel like her music was ready.' They added that 'Rihanna and her team are now confident they can make it work for next year,' meaning the potential dates will 'coincide with the tenth anniversary of Anti, and fans can expect to hear her new music too.' Though she and A$AP Rocky are expecting another baby soon, the source shared that she is 'the ultimate working mum and has the support of her partner,' adding, 'It's going to be incredible for her fans and she can't wait to be back out on stage.' Rumors of her return started circulating in February, when a 'well-placed live music source' told The Telegraph that she had a 'residency of up to six concerts' at London's former Olympic Stadium on July 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, and 12. A 'senior concert industry source' also revealed that the artist's promoters were 'holding' London Stadium as a potential venue. Neither Rihanna nor her reps have confirmed any of the reports, so take ^^^ all of this with a grain of salt. In the meantime, we're getting ready to save our coins for when the moment eventually comes.

Selena Gomez Shares Never-Before-Seen Summer Photos With Benny Blanco and Surprise 'Wizards' Co-Star

THE RUNDOWN Selena Gomez has been spending her summer largely out of the public eye and away from the paparazzi lens—but it's been a good season for the engaged singer. Gomez shared a glimpse of her downtime, posting a carousel of personal photos on Instagram. 'Good times, good food, good people,' the star wrote. She led the post with a shot of Blanco, followed by selfies and a little Wizards of Waverly Place content. In one photo, she's seen watching an old episode of the Disney Channel show that made her famous. In another, she appears enjoying a meal with her Wizards co-star Jennifer Stone. Gomez has been producing and making guest appearances in the series' reboot, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, which recently finished filming its second season. The Wizards Beyond Waverly Place's Instagram commented '👀' on her post, so make what you will of that. In June, Gomez wrapped filming on the fifth season of Only Murders in the Building, which will premiere on September 9. She is also in the process of launching Rare Beauty's first perfume. In an interview with Women's Wear Daily published last week, Gomez discussed her priorities with Rare Beauty amid rumors the brand could be exploring a sale or IPO. 'I think it's important for me not to focus on the logistics, if that makes sense, for me and my personal well-being,' she said. 'I put my heart into it. I work really hard, and I love our community, especially my fans. They have gotten me through all of the ups and all of the downs of life, and they are with me.' She added, 'I'm so grateful that I'm in this place in my life where, you know, things could have looked differently, and the future for Rare for me is just the fact that we want to continue to create products. There's still so much more room, there's still so much more places we could go. But specifically with the fragrance, I just thought it was time.' While she hasn't specified exactly what she's been up to outside of those projects, wedding planning could be among her summer activities. Last month, Blanco told Jake Shane that they hadn't started yet. 'That's why we both need to chill,' he said. 'We've both been working so much. We got engaged, and then we were filming music videos for our album [I Said I Love You First]... Then it's holidays, then right after the holidays, we had to start all the promo for our stuff, do that. Then she left to film her show Only Murders [in the Building] and then I met her, then we hung out for a week, and then right after that, it's promo. And then I'm writing another book, so then I had to write a book, and then she came back for one day here. And then it was my birthday, and you know.... We're both working on so many things that we hadn't even had time to get into it, but we're so excited. I think this summer we're going to sit down and be like, 'Okay, what are we doing, hun?''

Charlamagne slams ‘The View' for not featuring any conservative guests

'The Breakfast Club' host Charlamagne tha God slammed 'The View' on Monday for lacking conservative voices on the show. 'Thank you, Lara Trump, for having me on 'My View.' I enjoyed the conversation. I think it's ridiculous that 'The View' has had … 102 left-leaning guests and zero conservatives,' Charlamagne said on 'The Breakfast Club' on Monday, after appearing on Fox News' 'My View with Lara Trump' on Saturday. Advertisement 'That is ridiculous to have a platform and … only talk to people that you agree with. That makes no sense whatsoever to me,' he said of the liberal ABC daytime talk show, which features Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg, among other hosts. None of the show's six current hosts, including former Donald Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin, supported Trump in 2024. Charlamagne appeared on Lara Trump's Fox News show to share his thoughts on who should make a White House run in 2028 and the lack of viewpoint diversity in the media. 3 Charlamagne appeared on Lara Trump's Fox News show to share his thoughts on who should make a White House run in 2028.

The ABC News program continued to display an overwhelming lack of balance during the first seven months of 2025 with 102 left-leaning guests and zero conservatives, according to the MRC. It was unclear how many Republicans or conservatives, if any, had been invited, who may have then declined. The MRC analyzed every episode of 'The View' from January 6, when the program returned from a winter hiatus, through July 25, and found that it failed to book a single right-leaning guest to discuss politics. The watchdog previously found in April that the show booked 63 liberal guests and zero conservatives. 3 None of the show's six current hosts, including former Donald Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin, supported Trump in 2024.

Invision ''The View' is not shy about the fact that what they say and do is all meant to push the agenda of the Democratic Party, whether it's smearing Trump and his allies or specifically elevating Democratic politicians. It's why they've only spoken to liberals about politics on the show so far this year,' NewsBusters associate editor Nicholas Fondacaro told Fox News Digital. Fox News Digital reached out to representatives from 'The View' for comment.
