Tanner Adell, can we confess we have a strawberry crush on you? You're our favorite "Trailer Park Barbie," and remind us why we love cowgirls so much.
We love your sexy and fun version of pop country, and songs like "Buckle Bunny" end up on repeat at our house all the time. Your new song "Snakeskin" has been one of our favorite songs this year. We all gagged when you joined Beyoncé on "BLACKBIIRD" in an iconic moment in music history. You're forever a part of that, girl!
You've been paving the way for Black women in country for years, and now that you've come out as pansexual, you're proudly representing a new community that loves you.
You're also one of our favorite fashion icons right now. We're looking for some new snakeskin boots. Maybe you can show us where you get yours?
Thank you, Tanner, for always being yourself and for sharing your genuine self with the world and your fans!

Hi, diva! Jools, you're not like the other girls. We owe you everything for teaching us all how to be demure and mindful last year. Without your guidance, we would've been lost while doing everything from traveling, getting dressed for work, and going to job interviews.
Your advice and wise words were so ubiquitous, "demure" was Dictionary.com's word of the year. You know you're that bitch when even Ralph Fiennes is quoting you.
We love a femme princess, and you are internet royalty! You put the beauty in beauty influencer. You know what's cutesy, Jools? You!
We also appreciate the way you represent and lift up the dolls. When you used some of your money to help your bestie get housing, you showed us how big your heart is. In your TikToks, you taught us not to do too much, so we'll end it here. We love you, Jools.

Keke Palmer, you are an icon of icons and a queen of queens.
From your time as a child and teen star to your successful transition into adult stardom, you always impress us. You're an actor, a singer, a dancer, a history-making Emmy-winning host, a comedian, a mother, and a Motha, and you make all of it look easy! Whatever you want to do next, we know you'll thrive, and we know we'll be there to watch.
In Jordan Peele's Nope, you were the action star of our dreams, fighting for your family and looking great while doing it. One of Them Days made us wish we could spend our days with you — we can't wait for the sequel!
You're our girl, Keke, and you always have been. We love the way you're always you're most authentic self, keeping it real, and inspiring us to do the same. We will always know who you are, Keke, and we will always love you.

Dear Josie, we promise we would never ask you out on a hiking date!
When you played Lexi on Saved by the Bell (for which you got a much-deserved Critic's Choice nomination!), we got a taste of your acting powers, giving us one of the best TV reboots ever.
And we love you so much as Mabel on The Buccaneers! You bring humor and lightness, and some great lesbian spirit to the historical romantic drama based on Edith Wharton's unfinished book, and now that it's back on, we can't wait to see you in it every week. Thank you for making trans girls' wildest lesbian period romance dreams come true!
We also love you when you're being yourself! Along with your fellow dolls, Dylan Mulvaney and Miss Benny, you're living the modern Sex and the City life of our queer dreams.
Next up, you're starring in the horror film Faces of Death and Mike Flanagan's new adaptation of Carrie, so we can't wait to cheer you on as a new scream queen.

Auli'i, you're so much more than just a Disney princess to us.
Of course, we love you as a more grown-up Moana in the billion-dollar smash hit Moana 2, and we're so proud that you're lifting up your community by producing the live-action Moana and giving another actress a chance to embody the role.
But it's been your work outside of that massive franchise that really got us to love you. You played cool high school characters that queer teens can totally relate to in Crush and 2024's Mean Girls. In Mean Girls, you got to make Janice the queer icon she was always meant to be! Thank you for giving the weirdos the representation they deserve.
And can we talk about how great you are on stage? First, you dazzled as Eva Peron in Evita, but then you stunned us as the youngest person to play Sally Bowles on Broadway.
Auli'i, your smile lights up every room you're in, and we love the way you're never afraid to be yourself. Keep on shining!

Maren Morris, we'd be more than happy to meet you in the "Middle" any day! We've loved your music for a decade, and we've been inspired by you just as long.
We love the way you stand up for the LGBTQ+ community, especially when you stood up to Brittany Aldean's hateful comments about trans kids, and then raised money for GLAAD. When you challenged the country music establishment in 2023, we loved the way you stood up for what you know to be right.
Then, in 2024, when you came out as bisexual, you made us even more proud that you are a part of our community — and that we can look up to you whenever we want to see a proud, queer woman.
You're a Grammy winner, you're a master of multiple genres, and you're just getting started. "My Church" is one of our favorite songs of all time, and as one of the Highwomen, you're a part of the greatest supergroup in Country Music. You're a legend, Maren, and we hope you feel like it!

This year on The Last of Us, the whole world got to see how great you are, Isabela Merced. Just like Ellie was falling for your character Dinah, we fell in love with you while watching!
You brought new dimensions to the character, and your real-life queerness added genuine heart to their dynamic, creating one of our favorite TV romances of the year. Even though you're young, you're one of our favorite pop culture Mommies thanks to your roles in The Last of Us and Alien: Romulus, where you made us jump out of our skin.
Thank you for representing queer Latinas everywhere. We love how proud you are of your culture, and you help us take pride in ours. You're blowing up, and we can't wait to see you this summer in Superman as one of our favorite superheroes, Hawkgirl. You're our hero, Isabela!
www.instagram.com
Catherine McCafferty, we'd love to go on a pretty gay date with you!
We are huge fans of your show Pretty Gay, where you go on first dates with some of our other favorite queer and lesbian celebs and comedians. Every time you pop up on our social media feeds, we know we're going to love it. We're suckers for a good clown, and you never fail to make us cackle. But you also make us think!
Not only are you one of the funniest people online, but you're shining a spotlight on critical lesbian issues like scissoring, having crushes on your friends, and how to tell if another girl is flirting with us!
You're both an excellent date and an excellent interviewer — two qualities that are much rarer than you might think!
In all seriousness, you're doing a great job at demystifying the world of sapphic dating, making it better and less intimidating for all of us! Thank you for giving us all great examples of how hilarious and amazing queer dating can be!

Boston Arts Academy steps in to help craft the next Ufot Cycle play: ‘Kufre n' Quay'
Before a recent rehearsal, Mngomezulu says that coming to America has been a 'culture shock' for his character. Seated next to him, castmate Kamanampata explains that 'confusion and hurt and conflict can come when someone expects something of a culture that they've only seen caricatures and stereotypes of.' Kufre comes from a country, Udofia points out, where everyone is largely of the same race. 'We're seeing the story through the eyes of a child who does not know he is Black until he gets to this country,' she says. 'He's meeting America for the first time at this age without any vocabulary for Blackness. … So what does that mean to suddenly hold that word?' Advertisement The show marks the first professional theater production ever for (who lives in Newton).'The youth, they're like lights,' Udofia says. 'They bring me so much joy.' The Huntington aimed for this to be a citywide festival celebrating Udofia, who grew up in Southbridge near Worcester, with multiple theaters and cultural organizations taking part. So when Charles Haugland, the Huntington's director of new work, called Boston Arts Academy artistic director Maura Tighe more than a year ago and suggested that there could be roles for students in one of the plays, Tighe leapt at the chance to boost their involvement. 'I said, 'Why not let us do it?'' Tighe recalls, standing in the BAA theater's mezzanine. The Huntington loved the idea, and BAA partnered with the Wheelock Family Theatre to produce this installment. 'Our mission is to connect the students to the community and help them see the way to what's next for them in their artistic domain, to see themselves as professionals,' Tighe says. 'I've been looking for the right theater connection, and this just blossomed.' Advertisement The first play in the Ufot Cycle, Udofia, a Wellesley College graduate, was inspired to set the play at a youth center, because she worked for years as an educator and teaching artist. 'It's really in my bones,' she says. 'And I thought there's no better way to have Kufre feel out America than to land him in one of these summer programs that I am so familiar with in New York City.' She was able to draw from her own experiences and insights from spending time around young people. 'There's just a way they talk when they think you're not listening that I find fascinating. It is colorful, it is fast and sharp. It can be so sweet, one second. Cruel, the next. Language making is happening all the time.' Advertisement Director John Oluwole ADEkoje watches cast members rehearse a scene of "Kufre n' Quay." Craig F. Walker/Globe Staff At the youth center, there are two main cliques — one a group of kids who live in the Little Senegal enclave (most of whom speak French); and then a clique of Black American kids largely from Harlem and the Bronx. 'There's conflict because these people are all defining their identities very differently,' says director John Oluwole ADEkoje, who's Nigerian-American. 'And it's being read like each group feels like they're better than the other.' At first, Kufre is rejected by both cliques. So he goes off on his own and daydreams, and it's quickly apparent that he has formidable powers of imagination. 'He closes his eyes, stretches his arms, and imagines a place he wants to go and what he wants to happen, and then he just goes there,' Mngomezulu says. Levi Mngomezulu rehearses a scene of "Kufre n' Quay" at Boston Arts Academy. Craig F. Walker/Globe Staff Iniabasi (Ramona Lisa Alexander) arrives with her own set of prejudices, and when she finds out the other kids are bullying Kufre, she explodes. The dedicated Harlem Zone educator Ms. Jada, a.k.a. 'Ms. Ey Yo Miss' (Jalyse Ware), tries to help Kufre integrate into this new world while keeping the peace between the different cliques and teaching improv theater games. But it's Abasiama (Jackie Davis) who's best equipped to help her grandson navigate the tensions and strife. Having raised three children in Massachusetts, Abasiama has 'learned a little bit about the cultural biases that maybe she had initially,' Davis says. 'She understands both sides of the fence culturally, so she sees the mistakes that Kufre is making fresh from the continent. She's trying to be the person to ease him into this new society and not create harm as he's being harmed, but also getting him to understand how his interaction could have led to this misunderstanding.' Advertisement A BAA faculty member, playwright, and filmmaker, ADEkoje says that rehearsing with young people is 'a dance between being a professional director and being a teacher. You're guiding them through the process.' He did 'table work' — reading and discussing the play and breaking it down as a group — for longer than usual, before starting to block out scenes. 'I didn't want anybody getting up on their feet without understanding exactly who their characters are and what they want,' he says. Ultimately, Tighe says, 'This is a story about a boy who dreams, and he dreams so vividly, that things come to life on stage, and he's going to take all the other kids with him. He believes in this world where everybody's the same, and that's how they come to understand each other — through his dreams.' As they work to bring to life this unprecedented endeavor, Udofia is savoring every moment. 'This is a rehearsal process where I walk in happy, I walk out happy,' she says. 'These kids are bringing everything that they can and soaking it all up like a sponge. Watching them is my favorite thing.' KUFRE N' QUAY By Mfoniso Udofia, presented by the Boston Arts Academy and Wheelock Family Theatre. At Boston Arts Academy Main Stage Theatre, July 10-26. Tickets from $22. 617-635-6470;

Nelly Slams Kamala Harris For Imprisoning Black Men & Having A White Husband, Social Media Reacts
Nelly is the latest celebrity-turned-internet-punching-bag, and it's because he's been dragged into the political debate sphere. The St. Louis rapper recently sat down with Hot 97's Ebro In The Morning , where he spoke about the flak he got for performing at President Trump's inauguration. Despite accepting the gig, Nelly says it's got nothing to do with being a Trump supporter, instead framing it as having 'respect for the office.' 'It's great how people spin narratives to things that I think best fit whatever they're against. You know what I'm saying?' He continued. 'Instead of giving a brother the exact fundamentals of what he did, what he said. Nobody's doing that anymore.' Nelly sticks to saying he's never endorsed a president and adds that agreeing to the performance was more so him paying respect to the men and women who serve this country, because he himself is a military brat. The defense continued after The Shade Room posted a clip of the interview, and he hopped into the comments section. He even named fellow inauguration performer Snoop Dogg, saying they 'do more in the community and have been doing for over 20 + years against any of you that are just on here talking trash.' His lengthy comment takes a turn when, without mentioning her name, he speaks on Kamala Harris, calling her the 'prosecutor who has probably locked up more Black men that we've helped.' Beyond professional criticism, he even took personal digs, referring to her as the 'woman of color with the white husband and white kids. She did not win the election.' Despite Nelly's pointed comments about Harris, he maintains that he did not campaign for either candidate and attempts to remain neutral. He adds, 'I respect and love our country from top to bottom good and bad… and I am very aware that it's a lot of things in this country that we need to work on the right is too far right and the left is too far left.' His Harris bashing, paired with his refusal to change the diapers of his newborn son with his wife, Ashanti, has him getting roasted on social media. See the reactions below.

Why Flavor Flav Says the US Must Ban Firearms Now
"Right, left, left, right, left." We are marching ourselves into madness, both in the crazy and angry senses of the word. We are caught in an epidemic of gun violence with no sign we can stop or change course. That's why Chuck D and I created a new Public Enemy song, "March Madness," a term usually reserved for basketball. To us, March Madness is not about the left or the right or politics—it's about the need to unify, as human beings, to say what is right and what is wrong. Stop putting a price tag on the heads of our children. Chuck D and Flava Flav pose for a portrait at the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony streaming on Disney+ at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on October 19, 2024 in Cleveland, Ohio. Chuck D and Flava Flav pose for a portrait at the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony streaming on Disney+ at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on October 19, 2024 in Cleveland, Ohio. Sara Jaye/Getty for The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame This track starts off with a 911 call report about a teacher calling in a school shooting and begging for help. I fear for my kids when I drop them off at school. Our schools aren't safe and our kids aren't safe. This is because gun protection laws are weak. Guns are falling into the hands of the wrong people. I would know. I went to jail because of guns. I ended up on Rikers Island. So I am speaking from first-hand experience. Back in the day, guns and drugs were brought into Black communities. It was a time when we were taught that guns and drugs equaled power. We all had guns. There was peer pressure; a gun felt like a necessity to protect yourself from gang wars. This helped create a system of criminals who were forced into legalized slavery. If one part of society has guns, then more people feel the need for guns to protect themselves. And then more people. But no civilian needs to possess semi-automatic weapons. Fear and power are two of the biggest emotions that drive us. America is being built on fear. You have people who are scared. And these people are fighting for gun rights to protect themselves. They wouldn't have to protect themselves if all guns were banned. Fear is a powerful, short-term motivator. We need to flip it so it can break through to be a positive and valuable resource. Let our fear of losing our children be more powerful than our fear of our next-door neighbor. Right now, it's too easy for kids to grab their parents' guns. They are motivated by fear of being disliked, fear of not being accepted, fear of being made fun of. It makes them feel powerless. Some choose to take their power back and show up those peers. This happens so often, we have started to become numb to it as a society. It's barely in the news if it's less than a handful of people who were killed, and then the news cycle moves onto something else... The hits just keep on coming... School shootings are normalized. The lack of gun laws has created a violence epidemic here in the United States that is nowhere else in the world. This is domestic errorism. I've grown up. I had to take responsibility for myself, my actions and my career. I got sober. And I see the world with more clarity. I got a whole new team. No more guns for Flav. The only thing I'm carrying now is the conversation. My new manager, on day one, set up a meeting with Sam Hollander, a producer and songwriter with numerous chart-topping hits. They had me do something I've never done before. If we want Public Enemy and Flavor Flav to appeal to a broader audience, we need to invite them into the conversation. We need to understand their perspective. Now, my manager used to represent former Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders and he has this extremely talented and musical son, Nigel Sanjai Sanders, who was a student at Howard University. We asked him to make us some music and he delivered. My manager graduated from Harvard University and, using her resources, she, Sam, Nigel and I went to Harvard and met with their students and Dee-1, a brilliant rapper who served as a Nasir Jones Hip-Hop Fellow at Harvard's Hiphop Archive & Research Institute. Then we all went to the neighboring Berklee College of Music to write and record with some of their students. Public Enemy: March Madness Cover Artwork. Public Enemy: March Madness Cover Artwork. Courtesy of Alto Global Media I was in that room, with all these students, just sitting back and being quiet. If y'all know Flav, that's not like me. But to listen to them, their ideas, opinions and reasons behind them, you had to sit back and stay quiet. Now, take the students' intelligence and point of view, plus the experience of growing up on the streets and Public Enemy, and that equals something powerful. Our friend, the artist Shepard Fairey, inspired an entire population with just one word: hope. That is what I saw in these students. I hope this song, "March Madness," reignites the conversation. I hope this song sparks change. I hope this anthem gives a voice to those who feel powerless against a system of power and greed. I hope we can come together to create a wall of unity with peace and togetherness that is so strong, no one can divide and tear us down. As my partner, Chuck D, says: "I would rather live in peace than rest in peace." I hope the same for my children and all children. Flavor Flav is a rapper who cofounded hip-hop group Public Enemy with Chuck D over 40 years ago. Their new single, "March Madness," is out now.
