Megan Thee Stallion takes center stage in Pepsi‘s new ‘Gladiator II’-themed commercial. And she does so alongside footballers Travis Kelce, Josh Allen, Derrick Henry, and Justin Jefferson.
Mounted in support of the upcoming Paramount Pictures blockbuster and the launch of the NFL‘s new season.
The colossal spot, which makes many a reference to the classic Pepsi commercial helmed by Beyonce, Britney Spears, and Pink, features a remixed incarnation of Queen‘s classic ‘We Will Rock You.’
Set for a huge promotional push, the spot will air during the kick-off of the season’s first game and during the MTV Video Music Awards 2024. As reported, the Hot Girl Coach will host the New York ceremony on September 11 and perform at the event too.

Lady Gaga lights up the October issue of Vogue Magazine.
And aptly so.
For, the month will bring with it the release of ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ and, as recently reported, the lead single from her new album (which fans have christened ‘LG7’).
Ever the chameleon, Gaga transforms with a variety of looks for the Ethan James Green shoot – some inspired by the film, some inspired by her own iconic aesthetic.
A compelling interview feature landed in tandem with the spread; one which saw Mother Monster wax candid about the ‘Joker’ sequel, her engagement to fiancé Michael Polansky, and how he called on her to create her new Pop record. A record Vogue confirms is set for a February 2025 release.

Katy Perry has finally addressed reuniting with Dr. Luke.
The matter has served as somewhat of a dark cloud of debate hovering over the Pop star’s forthcoming album ‘143’ (due September 20).
Why, one may wonder?
Well, the hitmaker is seen by some as a controversially divisive figure following his legal spar with former protegée Kesha; a spar in which the ‘Tik Tok’ singer accused the producer of sexual assault and more. He countersued her for defamation.
As reported, the years-long legal wrangle concluded last year, with both parties effectively dropping their respective cases.
Still, some corners of public opinion haven’t been favorable towards Luke and, in reuniting with him (after a break that interestingly mirrors much of the the legal case), Perry is catching flack.
After a measured silence, she is now turning the volume up on reuniting with Luke (who helmed some of her biggest hits, including ‘Roar,’ ‘California Gurls,’ and ‘Dark Horse’).

Megan Thee Stallion is booked, busy, and the latest cover star of Billboard Magazine.
With a packed plate of activity – including hosting and performing at the upcoming MTV VMAs and releasing the new RM collaboration ‘Neva Play’ – the Hot Girl Coach seized the moment to shed light on all.
During the interview for the feature spread, the star was also quizzed about her fiery feud with Nicki Minaj.
Indeed, Megan kicked off the year addressing detractors on Hot 100 #1 ‘Hiss’ – which notably got Minaj into a tizzy and led to the release of her own diss offering ‘Big Foot.’
On her track, the Houston native unleashed a blazing bar about “Megan’s Law”; a bar many decoded as a jab at Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty (whose previous convictions have him officially listed as a sex offender).
