How Jelly Roll Got These Men Out of Jail and on Stage For One Unforgettable Night
According to Billboard, Jelly Roll is one of just a few famous faces to attend the school, including former North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis and fellow rapper Yelawolf. Jelly Roll also visited the school in May 2024 to review music students' compositions and bolster the Save the Music Foundation. He reconnected with his former teachers and performed for the students as well.
Jelly Roll has made a habit of generous visits to communities in need, including frequent stops at local jails while he tours around the country. Rolling Stone met with four men from Virginia's Chesterfield County Jail Helping Addicts Recover Progressively program, whom he invited to perform with him at Charlotteville's John Paul Jones Arena last year.
'Jelly Roll giving us that opportunity, it just opened my eyes to the possibilities if I keep my recovery first,' said one of the men named Kevin. 'I know that the second I don't make recovery my main focus, all of those possibilities go away.'
On January 30, Jelly Roll performed in Los Angeles' FireAid benefit concert that raised funds to help the area recover from this year's devastating spate of wildfires. His song 'I Am Not Okay' from his hit album Beautifully Broken was nominated for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance at the 2025 Grammys.

An Italian Fashion Designer Told Me Exactly How to Look Effortlessly Stylish in Italy—Shop 8 Must-have Styles
Every summer since moving to Italy, my Instagram direct messages are filled with American friends asking me, 'What should I pack?' before their upcoming European vacations. But the truth is, the answer varies depending on where you're headed. What I pack in my weekender bag for visiting Tuscany differs greatly from what I'd be taking on a holiday in Sardinia. And, there's the matter of personal style to address—I like to think I take a little bit of Italian summer style and make it my own. Still, there are timeless Italian style pieces that will work for all wardrobes and destinations—and to determine the Italian summer style must-haves, I turned to my most fashionable Italian friend, fashion designer Stella Jean. I've been a huge fan of Stella's work since the early days of her brand; a protege of Giorgio Armani, Stella Jean has dressed global style icons like Rihanna, Beyonce, Zendaya, and Sandra Bullock. In that oh-so-romantic Italian way, Jean not only gave me packing tips, but life tips on how to channel Italian style: 'Don't just pack clothes—pack attitude ,' she told me. For her, the hallmark of Italian summer style is ' disinvoltura studiata ,' which translates literally to 'studied ease' but to Jean, is defined as, 'That elusive mix of ease and intention—where linen is always slightly crumpled (but never careless), and sandals are custom-made, possibly in a fishing village with no Wi-Fi but generational savoir-faire.' Hallmarks of Jean's collection, like her striped button-down shirt and bold patterned skirts, channel that disinvoltura studiata . To help you put together your own summer travel wardrobe, read on for eight Italian style tips based on Jean's advice. My linen wardrobe has dramatically increased since moving to Italy, strongly inspired by my husband and his full linen summer wardrobe that certainly caught my eye during our first summer dating. I learned from him how to wear and style linen, and now I love the fabric, particularly in the form of a matching set. Currently, I have three linen sets in my suitcase! Jean attests to donning linen in the summer as well, saying, 'It's slightly crumpled, but never careless.' I selected a few of my favorite looks, including a matching square-neck tank and skirt set from Madewell and a sleek cropped vest and high-rise pant from Gap. I've always appreciated the ease of the summer button-down shirt. Tied at the waist or tossed over a swimsuit, button-downs are a versatile style I've worn for decades. There's a beautiful familiarity to the style of a striped cotton poplin shirt I've seen worn in Italy. For Jean, a striped cotton poplin shirt is 'a quiet staple of the Italian summer, beloved by philosophers, fishermen, and flâneurs alike.' Stella Jean's striped shirts in a beautiful blue and white have always caught my eye, especially paired with eye-catching skirts, proving a striped shirt is not only a staple but also a neutral! I also found an oversized option from Madewell and a bright vermilion hue from Gap's partnership with Dôen that will definitely stand out. Beautiful wide-leg trousers and palazzo pants have always been a hallmark of great Italian style to me, and it's true for Jean, as well. After all, 'palazzo' pants are Italian (hence the Italian name), and are one of my oft-mentioned style staples. These comfortable, flowy bottoms are just as fitting for swanning through an Italian city's palazzo as they are for exploring small, tucked-away Italian towns and villages. Check out the best-selling Madewell Harlow Trousers for a more polished look or the white Quince wide-leg chino pants that are practically made for summer. One of Jean's top non-negotiables for Italian summer style is a pair of leather Capri sandals. 'For me, it's never really been summer without them,' she says. 'I started wearing them around 14, when my mother and I would have them made to measure in Positano or Capri. They're the kind of sandals that work [24/7]—from breakfast in linen to evening in a flowing dress.' She adds that she probably has 20 pairs by now, 'bought out of pure loyalty and frequent overuse.' But, if you can't make it to Capri or Positano for your fitting, get your pair from my husband's family's company—I'll ask my father-in-law to sprinkle in a little Italian sunshine into your package! You can also shop similar-looking leather sandals, like this strappy pair from Bernardo or this Cole Haan fisherman sandal. Pieces that work for day-to-night wear feel elusive, but Jean manages to master the art in her gorgeous dresses that you can put on for almost any occasion. 'Ask yourself: Would this look out of place at a café at noon or in a piazza at midnight? ' she says. If it suits both locales, then it's ready to go. Some of her most iconic dresses, like this striped floral midi dress with its striped cotton poplin shirt and full skirt featuring a bold colorful print, are reminiscent of the Caribbean, reminding me of Jean's cultural heritage as half Haitian. As seen with a pair of flats on style star Luna de Casanova or with heeled sandals on Jean herself, a versatile dress that blends styles is elegant for both day and night. Other dresses that capture a similar day-to-night feel are this gingham number from Gap x Dôen and this lightweight pinstripe Quince dress made of European linen. One of Jean's packing recommendations is a bold printed skirt, especially in a beautiful tropical print. A few years ago, while styling a photoshoot on the cliffs of Ravello along the Amalfi Coast, I used a cobalt blue painted draped linen skirt. I styled it with a crisp white button-down, and it's still one of my favorite looks. This Stella Jean Midi Wrap Skirt reminds me of that shoot and that beautiful summer day, and I can imagine packing it along with a crisp button-down or tank. I found a few more eye-catching skirts to pack for an instant outfit upgrade, like a colorful midi linen skirt from Banana Republic and a forest green printed skirt on sale for $25 at Amazon. The Italian pinstripes! While casually naming things to punctuate an outfit, Jean suggested adding pinstripes to your packing list. It's a hallmark of classic Italian style, beloved by everyone from bankers in Milan to politicians in Rome. There's a huge variety of pinstripe looks, like these wide-leg yellow linen pants from Mango or these Everlane barrel-leg pants with a dark denim pinstripe. I recently said to my husband, while packing for our vacation in Sardinia, 'I'm going to pack a scarf. There might be a breeze at night.' Have I become Italian? As Jean joked when suggesting a light scarf on her packing list, 'Italians will forever believe that il colpo d'aria is a real and present danger.' You'll get a cough with your throat exposed! But a scarf can be worn in several ways, making it a genius accessory to pack with you. For instance, Jean styles a head scarf impeccably well. When meeting her for lunch in Rome once, I was in awe of her striking figure in a beautiful head scarf and trench coat; I promptly styled a similar scarf for my flight to Nice the next day! One of these silky numbers will work overtime on an Italian holiday, whether you're tying this linen scarf around your neck or this parrot-patterned one over your head or tied to your purse.

Selena Gomez Shares Heartfelt Message to Fans Ahead of 33rd Birthday
Selena Gomez is reflecting on her latest trip around the sun by sending her fans a heartfelt message. 'As I prepare to celebrate my 33rd birthday, I can't help but reflect on the incredible journey that has brought me here. This past year has truly been the most beautiful year of my life, and I owe so much of that to all of you,' Gomez, 32, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, July 20. Gomez — who turns 33 on Tuesday, July 22 — shared her gratitude to her followers for their 'unwavering love and kindness.' 'Whether you cheered me on from the sidelines, shared in my highs and lows, or simply offered a listening ear, you have made this year unforgettable. I am extremely humbled and insanely appreciative of all your love,' she wrote. Selena Gomez Gushes Over Fiance Benny Blanco in Sweet Birthday Tribute: 'Glad You Were Born' Gomez continued, 'As I step into this new year, I'm filled with excitement and hope for what's to come. I look forward to sharing more moments with all of you, creating new memories, and continuing this beautiful journey together. MADLY LOVE YOU ALL 🥳.' Alongside the message, Gomez shared a series of snaps from a recent celebration where she rocked a jumpsuit adorned with sequins and featuring a deep v-neckline. In one image, Gomez posed with BFF Taylor Swift, while in another, Gomez locked lips with fiancé Benny Blanco. Gomez's year has certainly been a monumental one. In December 2024, Gomez and Blanco, 37, announced they were engaged after more than one year of dating. While the pair can't wait to walk down the aisle, Blanco explained that wedding planning has been on the slower side. 'We're both working on so many things that we haven't even had time to get into it but we're so excited,' Blanco said on an episode of the 'Therapuss with Jake Shane' podcast earlier this month. 'I think this summer, we're going to sit down and be like, 'OK, what are we doing hun?'' He continued, 'We've both been working so much. We got engaged and then it's holidays and then we had to start all the promo for our stuff. Then she left to film her show, Only Murders [in the Building], and then I met her and we hung out for a week and then it's promo and then I'm writing another book.' Despite the slow start, Blanco is confident their nuptials will be one to remember. 'It will be chill,' he said. 'It will be amazing.' Solve the daily Crossword

Selena Gomez Shares Sweet PDA Photo of Herself Kissing Fiance Benny Blanco
Selena Gomez is head over heels for fiancé Benny Blanco — and she isn't afraid to show it. Gomez, 33, took to Instagram on Sunday, August 10, to share a sweet snap of herself kissing Blanco's cheek. The photo was one of several featured in a carousel that captured a wedding the pair attended one night prior. In the photographed PDA moment, Gomez covered her stunning ruby red halter-neck gown with a black coat as she pursed her lipstick-red lips to Blanco, 37. The music producer held one of his fiancée's hands up to his other cheek as he gazed off to the side of the camera. Gomez's carousel drew approval from several of her celebrity friends, including Chrissy Teigen and Joey King, both of whom liked the post. Rachael Ray even left a comment that read, 'Looking fabulous as always,' while musician SZA admitted in the comments section that she'd initially taken Gomez's post caption — 'About last night's wedding' — the wrong way. Selena Gomez Reveals 'Preferred Dessert' for Her Wedding to Benny Blanco and It's an Unusual Choice 'This caption .. I panicked so crazy,' SZA, 35, wrote, suggesting that she'd thought Gomez had spilled photos from her own forthcoming wedding. SZA's funny comment sparked Ray, 56, to reply in agreement, 'Girl you and me both!!' Gomez and Blanco dated for one year before he popped the question in December 2024. While the couple's wedding date has not been publicly revealed, Gomez did offer some details into the big day during a TikTok post shared on July 25. 'Whenever that day comes, I do know I don't want a big cake,' the video, posted by Gomez's beauty brand, Rare Beauty, captured her telling fans. 'I think I'd want a mini one for just us that we can freeze.' Gomez then revealed her dream wedding treat. 'My preferred dessert would be biscuits and gravy. My Nana's biscuits and gravy — that sounds like dessert to me,' she explained. Blanco said in July during an appearance on the 'Therapuss with Jake Shane' podcast that he and Gomez were yet to 'get into' planning their nuptials. 'We're both working on so many things that we haven't even had time to get into it but we're so excited,' he said on the July 10 episode. 'I think this summer, we're going to sit down and be like, 'Ok, what are we doing, hun?' Blanco continued, 'We got engaged and then it's holidays and then we had to start all the promo for our stuff. Then she left to film her show, Only Murders in the Building, and then I met her and we hung out for a week and then it's promo and then I'm writing another book.' The producer noted that when the big day does arrive, he knows it will live up to the pair's expectations. 'It will be chill,' he added on the podcast. 'It will be amazing.'
