Ty Dolla $ign virtually duetted with his brother from prison at Coachella
Ty Dolla $ign duetted with his brother Big TC from prison at Coachella.
The rapper's sibling is currently serving a life sentence for murder at California's Calipatria State Prison, but he made an appearance at the festival in California on April 18, on a screen behind his brother singing in a pre-recorded clip.
The moment came midway through the hip-hop star's set and featured the backing of a live choir.
The set was also decked out like a prison yard with barbed wire and fencing.
Ty also brought out the likes of Wiz Khalifa, YG, Tyga, and Leon Thomas.
TC was sent down in 2004, and in 2015, Ty released the album 'Free TC'.
He later admitted that his sibling being sent to prison felt like he'd died.
He told Vice the following year: 'Have you ever had a family member die? It's basically that. He's basically dead. It's like hell, almost. A living hell. Luckily, you can reach out and you can go see him, but it's like, he's basically dead. It's like if a family member dies. I want him back, man. He's a f****** human man. Imagine if you had someone stripped from the family, man. That s*** is f***** up man.'
Defending his character, Ty went on: 'He's a human. A smarta** human. A talented human. A human who could be on some whole other s*** right now.'
Professing that he is a changed man since being incarcerated and hitting out at the criminal justice system in the state, he continued: 'A human who is mine but who is totally different than he was then. You grow everyday. You change everyday. The whole system is f***** up, too. I damn near say that if you're going to put someone in for life, you might as well kill them. That's a human, you know? The world is f***** up.'

Kate Moss launches Festival Collection for Zara
Kate Moss has tapped into her love of music to launch a new Festival Collection for Zara . The supermodel teamed with the high street giant last year to release her first Kate Moss x Zara collection and now she's back with a second range which is themed around music festivals and features Moss in a campaign alongside Primal Scream legend Bobby Gillespie, who is married to the collection's co-designer - stylist Katy England. Moss said: "It was such an evolved process this time. Because it's Spring/Summer and festival season, I suppose, I expected it to be more about wafty dresses. "But it's a bit tougher than that. That's because all the masculine energy was coming in from Bobby doing his collection at the same time. You could feel it coming over and we ended up going somewhere quite unexpected that I didn't think we would." The festival collection includes mini-dresses, a leopard print skirt, a sheer floral maxi-dress, suede ankle boots and a leather-studded bralette as well as accessories including sunglasses, studded belts and bracelets. The festival collection also features menswear pieces. The advertising campaign also features Gillespie's model son, Lux, 21, and Moss' 22-year-old daughter, Lila. The collection launches online and in stores on June 10. Moss spoke about the collection to and insisted she never pre-plans her outfits - especially when it comes to clothes she wears to festivals. She told the outlet: "Planned outfits never work for me. I don't do that ... I just think overly thought-out outfits are a bit … for a festival? "When I look at Coachella I just think … are they even having fun?" Kate previously included a silver dress inspired by an outfit she wore to Glastonbury Festival in 2005 in her last collection for Zara. It comes after Kate admitted she hates fashion "trends" because she can't stand seeing the same "shoe and bag" in every shop. During an appearance on Bella Freud's 'Fashion Neurosis' podcast, she explained: "I hate fashion codes. I hate like: 'Oh this bag's in fashion so everybody designs the same f****** bag.' I hate that kind of thing. Like oh this is fashionable so everybody has to have that in their shop. I really don't like that. "Like I walked through the airport the other day and in every shop was the same shoe and the same bag from like every designer. I was like: 'What the f*** is the point in doing that?' I don't understand ... "They might put it on the runway different but when it gets to the shop it's all the same. Like why? It's not fun when it's fashionable. "You know like the trends. That's what they call them. The trends ... Trends are awful. [As soon as it's a trend] you can't wear it any more."

Christian Bale unrecognisable on the set of his upcoming sports movie Madden
Christian Bale is known for his extreme physical transformations for movie roles – and he's done it again for his upcoming film, Madden. The Oscar winner shaved his head, bleached his eyebrows and put on 9kgs to play former US Vice President Dick Cheney in the 2018 biopic Vice; he dropped a staggering 28kgs to play an emaciated, sleep-deprived operator in 2004 psychological thriller The Machinist; and that same year, he gained about 45kgs to play Batman in the rebooted Batman Begins. Now, the 51-year-old has once again undergone a remarkable transformation on the set of his new sports biopic, Madden, to portray late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis. Bale was spotted in character on set in Atlanta, Georgia, looking slick in a black leather get-up accessorised with three flashy Super Bowl rings. And gone was the actor's usually scruffy hair and beard. Instead he rocked a balding hairline, with the rest of his thin hair brushed back. Bale's skin also looked red and splotchy while in character. It wasn't just Bale who has transformed for his role. Co-star Nicolas Cage is also unrecognisable as titular character John Madden – the Raiders coach and legendary NFL broadcaster who is also the inspiration behind the popular video game Madden NFL. 'The film follows Madden's remarkable journey – from his Super Bowl-winning partnership with Al Davis and the Raiders, to creating Madden NFL, and becoming one of the most iconic voices in football history,' reads a synopsis from Amazon MGM Studios. Earlier this week, 61-year-old Cage was spotted wearing a vintage blue tracksuit and white button-up shirt over a fat suit on the Atlanta set. Like Bale, Cage was also wearing a light brown wig to complete his look. Last month, Amazon MGM Studios also shared a first look at Cage and Bale dressed in '70s gear, with their characters showing off the Super Bowl rings they won in 1977 after leading the Raiders to victory. The biopic also stars John Mulaney as EA founder Trip Hawkins, Kathryn Hahn as Madden's wife Virginia, and Sienna Miller as Al's wife Carol. 'The film follows Madden's remarkable journey — from his Super Bowl-winning partnership with Al Davis and the Raiders, to creating 'Madden NFL,' and becoming one of the most iconic voices in football history,' reads the synopsis from Amazon MGM Studios.

Brooklyn Beckham knew Nicola Peltz was 'the one'
Brooklyn Beckham knew he wanted to marry Nicola Peltz after just three months of dating. The 26-year-old star - who is the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham - knew Nicola, 30, was "the one" within a few months of dating, and the loved-up duo tied the knot in 2022. Brooklyn told Glamour Germany: "I knew after three months that I wanted to marry her. But because of COVID, I wanted to wait until our families could be there." Brooklyn was "immediately captivated" by Nicola when they first met. He shared: "When I first saw Nicola at Coachella, I was immediately captivated - by her beauty, her warmth, her charisma. "Even though it was only a fleeting moment, it stayed with me for a long time." Brooklyn considers Nicole to be his "best friend" and they're both loving married life. He said: "You have to marry your best friend, someone you feel at home with. For me, Nicola is exactly that." Despite this, Brooklyn's proposal proved to be far from straightforward. The London-born star recalled: "A few hours before, I had a golf cart accident and needed stitches in my hand. "My thumb was completely bandaged - I couldn't even open the wine!" Brooklyn previously described getting married to Nicola as the "best decision" he's ever made. The former model took to social media in January to celebrate Nicola's 30th birthday, with Brooklyn describing his wife as the "most gorgeous person" he knows. He wrote on Instagram at the time: "Dear Nicola, happy birthday baby. I will keep this short, but I want to write down a little of how much I love you. A few years ago I asked you to marry me and it was the best decision I have ever made. "You make me smile and laugh and you are the most amazing and most gorgeous person I know. I am so lucky to be able to spend every day with you and wake up next to you every morning. (sic)" Brooklyn also listed a series of things that he loves about his wife. He said: "I love your smile, your laugh, your passion about your work, your love for dogs, I just love the way you are. You are perfect in every way."
