It’s been two years since Latto dropped her sophomore album, 777. The album boasted hits like “Sunshine,” “Sleep Sleep,” and “Big Energy.” As one can imagine, fans are eager for new music.

Latto has released several standalone singles while we wait for her new album, including “Put It On Da Floor,” “Lottery,” and “FTCU.” However, it seems like none of these songs will appear on her hotly anticipated third album.

Today (May 16), a fan took to Twitter to categorize Latto’s songs into three categories — Rap Latto, R&B Latto, and Pop Latto. They asked fans which of these categories of Latto they would prefer an album from, which caught the attention of the rapper herself.

“All these songs suck Album otw & it will be washing these,” Latto said in a quote tweet.

Outside of music, Latto has been keeping busy. She recently appeared at the Chicago Sky and Dallas Wings’ season-opener to support Angel Reese in her WNBA debut. She has also guest starred on shows like Grownish and has been working with Just Eat and Wing Stop on marketing campaigns.

But as Latto’s star continues to rise, people are dying to hear new music from her. And it looks like her promising third album may be arriving sooner rather than later.

After Nikola Jokic put forth one of the best games of his career in Game 5, the Nuggets looked primed to punch a ticket to another Western Conference Finals. Denver had seemingly cracked the code on both ends of the floor against the Timberwolves to win three straight, and not many outside of Minneapolis were picking the Wolves to force a Game 7.

However, an inspired effort from Minnesota sent the series back to Denver for a winner-take-all game, thanks to an utterly dominant showing from the Wolves in a 115-70 win.

It did not look like it was going to be that kind of night in the first few minutes. The Nuggets jumped out to a quick 9-2 lead to force a timeout from Minnesota, and things were tense in the Target Center.

But whatever was said in that timeout locked Minnesota into the right mindset and they came out and blitzed the Nuggets, going on a 27-2 run to take control of the game — and they would never look back.

The Wolves were getting incredible performances up and down the roster on Thursday night, but as is typically the case when Minnesota is at their best, they followed the lead of their young superstar Anthony Edwards, who finished the night with 27 points.

While Karl-Anthony Towns had a terrific night on the glass and was much better defensively, the support for Edwards offensively came from Jaden McDaniels, as he was lethal shooting the ball and attacking the rim, finishing with 21 points.

On the other end, the Nuggets were simply unable to pry the lid off of the basket. Minnesota was relentless with sending doubles at Jokic, and coupled that with crisp rotations on the backside to smother Denver’s perimeter players with length. The result was a horrendous shooting performance from the Nuggets, as they simply could not buy a bucket. Denver shot 30.2 percent from the field, with Minnesota walling off the paint and daring Denver to beat them from three, which they simply could not, hitting just 19.4 percent from deep on 36 attempts.

The main culprit for Denver’s woes was Jamal Murray, as he could not force the Wolves to pull any of their attention away from Jokic, going just 4-of-18 from the field. He certainly wasn’t alone in shooting struggles, as Michael Porter Jr. and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope were a combined 5-of-14, and the bench didn’t score their first points until the fourth quarter. Denver made a brief second quarter push, but they just never had anything for Minnesota on either end. With over 9 minutes to go in the fourth and facing a 30-point deficit, Michael Malone pulled the plug and emptied the bench. Shortly after, Minnesota did the same and Anthony Edwards let the crowd know where they were headed.

The defensive performance of Minnesota was truly sensational, and the Nuggets will have a couple days to regroup adn figure out what they’ll need to do to have more success on Sunday. That starts with hitting open looks and getting more out of Murray, but they can’t simply bank on hitting more threes and have to get back to their identity of attacking the paint.

The Wolves, meanwhile, will finally feel like they have their legs back under them after three tough outings in a row, and will be thinking about picking up their third road win of the series. Game 7 will be Sunday, with the time still TBD, and as Zaza always says there will be nothing easy.

Sabrina Carpenter has the song of the summer on her hands. Last month, the pop hitmaker dropped her single, “Espresso,” which has taken the world by storm. Carpenter is set to perform on Saturday Night Live this Saturday (May 18) for the season 49 finale, and she’s sure to slay with her catchy bops.

Her songs are so fun, even SNL cast member Bowen Yang and this week’s guest host Jake Gyllenhall cant get them out of their heads.

“Sabrina, your song is stuck in my head,” says Yang in a promo for this week’s episode.

“Oh, thank you Bowen,” says Carpenter.

Yang then proceeds to sing a song that doesn’t seem to be by Carpenter.

“Summertime’s coming, everybody’s in their board shorts,” Yang sings.

“Oh, that’s not my song, I don’t think,” says Carpenter.

Yang continues, singing his made up song. Seemingly having taken notes from Carpenter on how to craft a pop hit, even Carpenter can’t deny Bowen’s songwriting prowess.

“Wait, that’s acutally really good,” she says.

“Board shorts summer!,” shout Yang, Carpenter, and Gyllenhall in unison.

You can watch the promo above.

Saturday Night Live airs Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. EST on NBC. Episodes are also available to stream on Peacock.

Men sometimes get labeled as the gender more likely to keep secrets for selfish, manipulative purposes. But just as often, men might keep certain things to themselves due to the effects of gender norms: wanting to hide insecurities to appear strong for their families, hoping to shield their partners from hurt, not feeling safe to show emotion, and so on.

Reddit user Teen_dream91 recently asked: “What, if anything, are you unable or unwilling to share fully openly and honestly about yourself with your spouse?” and the answers are a prime example of this.

These long kept secrets—some hilarious, others heartbreaking—a rare candid glimpse into exactly what many men feel compelled to keep bottled up inside.

Check them out below:

“I keep the ceiling fan on at night because she farts in her sleep and it’s so bad it wakes me up.” JackassWhisperer

“When I go grocery shopping, i often buy a fresh rotisserie chicken thigh for myself, and wolf it down on a parkbench on my way home like a homeless caveman. I have no idea why, but it’s my little me-time ritual.” –Sternsson

“My self-doubt is something I conceal. I strive to be her rock and revealing my vulnerabilities seems counterproductive.” –AdhesivenessGlass978

“When she asks to go out with her girlfriends or away on an overnight with some friends, she thinks I’m upset I’m not included. In reality, I’m praising the lord for a day or two alone.” Bobo_Baggins03x

“While I love my spouse deeply, I struggle to fully share my childhood traumas. The memories are painful and sometimes I feel like shielding her from that darkness.” Slight_Policy3133

“My child (18 months) is legitimately well behaved, compliant, and enjoyable to be around when she’s not in the home and it’s just he and I. When she’s around he’s combative, whiney, rude, and a little terror.” D00deitstyler

“Deep down, I really just want to be lazy.I don’t want to go to work, or cook that much, or change the bedding every week, or find part time income streams… Like, in my heart, I just want to lounge about, get a bit drunk and read books or watch youtube videos. I do as much as possible so that she’s comfortable and happy but don’t want to admit that I don’t really WANT to do anything useful.” –LeutzschAKS

“The sheer amount of stress I’m under. I do share, but I can’t articulate how bad it is.” –Herald_of_dooom

“Sometimes the things she says to me in arguments break my heart.” –justVinnyZee

“I served in Iraq and lost my leg. As a result I have severe PTSD…A couple of years after I got out I met my wife. She is an Iraqi Lady and has helped me through the best and worst times. She’s given me beautiful children and a reason to carry on. However…her parents moved from Iraq before she was born. Every time I go to her parents house or there is a wedding on her side of the family I attend whilst suffering in silence. Sweaty palms, heart palpitations, shredding feeling where my leg was etc. It drove me to be extremely disrespectful by secretly carrying a hip flask with spirits and cocaine in as it just took the edge off and made it all manageable. Her parents are extremely religious and alcohol and drugs of any kind are heavily frowned upon and banned from the house.The worst is going to her parents house as so much of the decorations reminds me of the house I got dragged into after stepping on an IED. I keep this hidden because what can I do? Make her choose between family and me? Absolutely not. Prevent my kids from having grandparents and extended family? Absolutely not. My mental health and my foolish decisions at 16 are not going to be any form of potential wedge.” –Greenlid_42

“That I sometimes buy $20 scratchers when I do the shopping and occasionally throw $60 at large Powerball/MegaMillions jackpots even tho I publicly say ‘lotteries are a tax on people who are bad at math.’ I do this because I like to dream of a day we don’t have to work and we can follow our passions.” –wembley

“The fact that she wont let me put any of my hobby stuff (mostly miniatures and random knickknacks) in our shared spaces without it being in an approved location, meanwhile the entire house is her canvas for her aesthetic. Makes me feel really lonely and small sometimes and like she doesn’t care. It’s been a topic of conversation, she just doesn’t get that delegating me a tiny shelf in her curio isn’t the same as letting me actually decorate some.” –Kimblethedwarf

“That she is bad at taking criticism, even about the most minor of things. And even saying so is itself a form of criticism she cannot handle. And this has very much hindered our ability to talk to each other.” Aechzen

“I keep my regrets from her. I worry she’ll think less of me if she knew all my past mistakes.” Suspicious-Factor362

“Literally anything that isn’t within the realm of her personal interests. Otherwise, she makes it clear that she’s not really interested in what interests me. Sometimes I do, because I can’t keep everything to myself forever, but it just feels like I’m a child bothering their parents talking about how cool their toys are.” ChefBillyGoat

“I’m scared of not being able to provide a half decent life for her and my kids. Life’s getting so expensive and challenging.” Arent_they_all

“Sometimes, the food she cooks isn’t great. I will never tell her this because she goes out of her way to cook, and I’m not ungrateful. I can live with bad food that night over her getting upset.” –CaptainAwesome0912

“That if I speak to her the same way she speaks to me she would probably spend her whole day in tears. It’s definitely a case of “familiarity breeds contempt” as she does not speak to any of her friends like this (who come over to help with furniture moving, for example), and occasionally it comes out with her family, but the unfettered torrent of complaints and abuse is reserved only for me, regardless of what I do. It’s like she looks for imperfections and mistakes just to point them out.” –MusicusTitanicus

“How sad I am that my life isn’t a grand adventure but a series of choices i made in order to be able to form and provide for a family…I know there’s adventure and excitement to be had still, but I wanted to continue my family line. And dearly love my family. Anything available in that vein will come at cost to my wife and children. So I’m stuck playing rise through the ranks, build the better mouse trap and look good to the suites for another raise or step up the ladder. It’s going well, but as it goes well it feels more hollow. I could become head honcho, or start my own enterprise and find massive success, it’d still all been to just provide. Collecting wealth is such a boring pursuit, I hate our society.” BodyRevolutionary167

“I let the kids play Roblox beyond their allowed time.” –chelhydra

“She’s always in the way. If she’s in the kitchen when I’m cooking, she’s always standing in front of the next place I need to be. If I’m working outside, she’s always in the next place I’m going to go. If I’m fixing something, she’s always standing right in front of whatever I’m going to be working on next. If I’m trying to leave a room, she’s always in the doorway. I realize she wants to spend time with me, but I really wish she’d just get out of the way when I’m doing something.” –Lonecoon

“That when I’m not with her, I put ketchup on my hot dogs.” –bipolarcyclops

Even before the Cleveland Cavaliers playoff run ended, much of the discussion around the team the last few weeks was about what they’d do this offseason. Donovan Mitchell is extension eligible, and the Cavs are expected to offer him the max 4-year, ~$200 million deal they’re allowed to this summer.

Whether he accepts it or not will dictate how Cleveland proceeds in trades and free agency, but no matter what the choice is, the expectation is one of their former All-Star guards will be on the trade market. If Mitchell declines the extension, the Cavs will at least have to seriously look at options to move him to ensure they don’t end up seeing him walk for nothing next summer. If he signs, there were reports this week that Darius Garland’s representation would discuss trade possibilities with the Cavs after he has struggled to find his exact place alongside Mitchell in the Cleveland backcourt.

Mitchell hasn’t really indicated anything either way about what he’ll choose this summer, but we finally got something from him on the record on Thursday night, at least regarding his thoughts on being in Cleveland, via Adrian Wojnarowski.

While not groundbreaking for a player to say this, Mitchell has undoubtedly seen all the stories over the past couple days and knows what he’s doing by offering this up on the record. Whenever a star has been traded to a team that wasn’t on his main list of preferred destinations, there’s always a wonder as to whether he’ll stick around for the next deal, so saying he’s been happy since he arrived is genuinely a big deal.

This certainly isn’t him declaring he’ll sign on the dotted line, but it will give Cavs fans some belief that he might put pen to paper this summer. If that happens, Garland’s future becomes a bit murkier, but even off a down year the Cavs would likely get plenty of calls about the former All-Star guard, as there are a number of hopeful playoff contenders in need of upgrades at the point guard spot.

Last night (May 15), YG Marley stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to perform a medley of songs. The up-and-coming reggae singer was joined by his mother, rapper and singer Lauryn Hill. YG is the son of Hill and former football player Rohan Marley, which makes him the grandson of reggae legend, Bob Marley.

During the performance, YG performed his breakthrough hit, “Praise Jah In The Moonlight.” The song has received much attention via TikTok, and he even performed the song with Hill during his slot at Coachella. But YG has also been teasing new music.

Also during the performance, YG premiered a new song, “Survival.”

With his mom, they performed “Ex-Factor” from her debut solo album, The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill.

Having been released in 1998, Miseducation remains Hill’s only solo album, however, this may soon change. After the show, TMZ caught up with Hill, asking if she has new music on the way. This prompted a happy response from YG. YG grinned even harder when asked if he would be helping her in the studio with new music.

Should a sophomore album by Hill ever come to fruition, we know that given her family’s talents, the long-awaited Miseducation follow up will sound damn good.

In the meantime, you can watch YG and Hill’s Fallon performance above.

Earlier this week, singer and instrumentalist Joanna Newsom launched her The Strings/Keys Residence at The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever. With multiple shows taking place until May 27, Newsom will perform several songs from her more than two-decade long career.

Every generation has its slang and catchphrases that eventually become outdated. But in the modern age, there are also some totally normal, everyday phrases that become totally obsolete by the time the next generation comes along.

Millennials are still viewed as young by a lot of the boomer generation, but they’re solidly hitting the middle age stage where the Gen Zers and Gen Alphas don’t know what they’re talking about when they reference their own childhood in the 90s: “What do you mean your phone was attached to the wall when you were a kid? And you really had no idea who was calling you?” Yep and yep, youngsters.

In the digital age, with technology moving incredibly fast, this generational phenomenon has become even more marked. Just for funsies, millennials on Reddit are sharing phrases they heard growing up that kids today will never hear, and it’s quite a nostalgic trip.

“We’ll look it up when we get home.” – Wazzen

Ah, the days before smartphones and cellular data. That’s right, kids. We only had internet at home and at internet cafés, so if we were curious about something, we had to wait to look it up. (And we also had to wait for the dial-up internet to connect, complete with the screechy-scratchy garbley noise we’ll never forget.)

Speaking of which:

“You’ve got mail!” – Nate16

There was a whole movie based on this phrase, which was how AOL (America OnLine—one of the big internet companies of the 90s) let you know that you had email in your inbox after you got connected to the internet. A cheery voice announced, “You’ve got mail!” Can you even imagine? So quaint.

““I got it!!!” When the house phone rang. – KatyDid749

See, the “house phone” was the landline telephone—the one connected to the wall—that the whole family shared. When we knew a friend was going to call, we’d clamor to be the one to answer because otherwise your friend had to go through the mortifying experience of saying, “May I please speak to so-and-so?” Saving our friends from such horror was a mark of true friendship. Plus if it was a love interest that called, there’s no way you wanted your mom or dad to answer.

Someone is “calling long distance” – shakeyjake

Back in the olden days of the 90s, if you wanted to call someone outside of your town, you had to pay extra money for it. And the farther away they were, the more expensive it was. It was called “long-distance calling,” and it was a standard feature of our lives. Want to call someone internationally? Might have to sell a kidney to pay for that. The ability to not just call but video call people in other countries, and without paying anything extra, the way we do now? We barely even dared to dream we might see something like that in our lifetimes.

Describing the internet as an “information superhighway” – TheKnightsTippler

Oh, we had several ways to refer to the internet: the information superhighway, the Worldwide Web (or just “the web”), cyberspace, etc.. If we could go back and tell ourselves that in the future the kids would just call it the internet, we could save ourselves some now cringey phrases.

“Gotta check the want ads for jobs” – Didntlikedefaultname

“Smoking or non-smoking seats?” – heatherista2

This might be one of the biggest shifts from the 90s to now in terms of being out in public. It used to be that every restaurant had a smoking and non-smoking section, frequently only separated by a wall of glass that didn’t even go to the ceiling. Smoking was allowed on airplanes, too, up til it was phased out from 1988 to 2000. Yes, we used to inhale a heck of a lot of second-hand smoke and considered it just part of life. Wild times.

“Did you remember to print the directions to our destination?” – dexterstrife

Ah, MapQuest, the revolutionary direction-creating website that marked the beginning of the end of road atlases and fold-out maps, but preceded Google Maps and real-time GPS. It was a specific era some of us will always remember fondly.

“Check the Yellow Pages” – muchlovemates

I think the Yellow Pages still exist most places, but kids these days likely never see them. Every business in town was listed in the Yellow Pages under different categories. So if you wanted to find out what movies were playing at the local theater, you’d open the Yellow Pages, look under “movies” or “theaters,” find the theater and get the phone number. Makes you appreciate how much easier the internet has made our lives.

“Be kind, rewind.” – Gubble_Buppie

Oh my. The days of the VCR and renting VHS tapes from Blockbuster. Not only did we have to physically take ourselves to the movie rental store to rent a movie on tape, but if you watched the movie and didn’t rewind it before turning it back in, you were deemed a bad person. Period.

“You won’t always have a calculator.” – Wizard_of_Claus

This phrase was drilled into kids in math class and turned out to be the biggest lie of the 20th century. Who knew?

Coles Prince stood up in front of his wedding guests and announced that his bride, Jordan, told him that she would like to be serenaded by him once on their big day.

And because his mom “didn’t raise no fool,” he happily obliged with a completely groom-ified version of “I’m Just Ken,” famously sung by Ryan Gosling in the “Barbie” movie.

A clip showing the performance was captured and posted to TikTok by the ceremony’s photographer and videographer team, Lex & Trev Photo + Film, and it has quickly become an internet sensation.

Complete with a sparkly cowboy hat, backup singers, and some impressive wordsmithing, this groom left no stone unturned when it came to delivering an unforgettable performance.

Watch:

@lexnielsen IM JUST GROOM 🤵🏻‍♂️📢🤠 #weddingtiktok #imjustken ♬ original sound – Lex Nielsen

Isn’t that the greatest thing ever? Others thought so too.

“This is glorious, glorious Kenergy,” one person praised.

“Marry him again” added another.

Prince shared with Good Morning America that he chose “I’m just Ken” as his cover song because it “conveyed what it was like to get married, specifically from the groom’s point of view.”

“Being Ken is very similar to being [a] groom. I think I can make this work. So I started by changing the lyrics ‘I’m Just Groom, number two person in the room’ and it kind of took off from there,” he told GMA.

Seems like Prince has some pretty good instincts here, because his song brought so much joy not only to his bride, or his wedding party…but to thousands of strangers as well.

And now the real question on everyone’s mind: how can we get Gosling to see this?
