Billboard has announced that singer, award-winning artist, and up-and-coming actress SZA will star in CoComelon: The Movie, releasing Feb. 19, 2027. A children's animation film- a far cry from One of Them Days, where she and KeKe Palmer played best friends scrambling to make rent. From starving artist on the verge of eviction to main character animation, SZA is definitely showing her diversity and adaptability; give sis a script, and she'll make it happen. We're here for every moment and can't wait to see what she does next. You and your children can watch the CoComelon: The Movie trailer on Billboard's website in the meantime, as well as sit in anticipation of the studio releasing any information on SZA's character.

Ariana Grande's "Petals" video includes a chainsaw, a dying flower, and layers of meaning beyond a quick look. Here's our interpretation.

President Donald J. Trump has amassed quite a sum for his White House “modernization project,” a term coined by the Trump administration for the Ballroom, Lafayette Square, helipad construction, a new visitor screening center, and other reported White House upgrades. All with a total cost of $927 million, as reported by The Washington Post. You may be wondering where the money is coming from. Who’s authorized all these changes? Well, taxpayers are covering a portion of these costs, of course, along with private donors and an undisclosed $70 million. Additionally, money was pulled from other federal agencies.  As for the authorization part, President Trump and his administration completely removed Congress from the equation. This resulted in a Federal Appeals Court ruling that Congress must authorize the 90,000-square-foot ballroom, a project that has reportedly been underway since last year.

Claressa Shields once again shows the world why she’s the G.W.O.A.T., defeating Kaye Scott by TKO in the 6th round at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, reclaiming the middleweight title. Claressa dropped Scott with a knockdown, and once the referee cleared her to continue, Claressa kept punishing her with powerful blows until Scott’s corner threw in the white towels, signaling she could not continue. While many of Claressa’s moments in the media are controversial, there’s no room to dispute her athletic abilities. A truly undefeated and unstoppable fighter from boxing to MMA, even rapping when the moment is right, she has continued to show the world that she’s the Greatest Woman of All Time through hard work, dedication, and resilience. Watching her dominate the ring against Scott this evening was truly exhilarating and emotional. Once Scott’s corner threw in the towel, Claressa took a moment to drop to her knees, which we perceived as gratitude, basking in another win for the two-time Olympic gold medalist.

Although CoCo has nothing left to prove, it’s said she plans to fight for seven more years, concluding her career at the age of 38. For us, it doesn’t matter — as long as Ms. Shields is gloved up, we’re tuned in and rooting for continuous greatness. Congratulations to you, Ms. Shields.
