The album rollout began in early June with the release of its lead single, 'Type Dangerous,' co-written and co-produced with acclaimed musician Anderson .Paak. The track, which channels Carey's classic sound, samples Eric B. & Rakim's 'Eric B. Is President' and features a cameo from YouTuber Mr. Beast in the official video. Although the full tracklist remains under wraps, Carey has hinted that the next single could be titled 'Sugar Sweet.'
In a 2024 interview with Variety, Carey shared her excitement about the new material, saying she had written several songs and was in the process of deciding which ones to include on the final album. Here For It All marks her first full-length project in seven years, following 2018's Caution, which was released through Epic Records and featured collaborations with producers like Skrillex, Mustard, No I.D., and Timbaland.
Carey's new album also marks a major career move. She is now signed to Gamma, an independent label founded in 2023 by music industry veterans Larry Jackson and L.A. Reid. According to Forbes, Reid will serve as executive producer on the album through his company Mega. 'It's a game-changing moment,' Reid said, highlighting the significance of a global superstar partnering with a self-contained indie label rather than a major record company.
With anticipation building, Here For It All promises a return to form for Carey and a new chapter in her storied career.

American Ninja Warrior renewed for season 18
NBC has officially renewed American Ninja Warrior for its 18th season, according to Variety. The popular summer competition series is set to begin filming later this year in Las Vegas, with a notable twist added to its format. Season 18 will introduce a new supersized three-lane racecourse, which will feature head-to-head-to-head races — a first for the show. Contestants will go up against each other simultaneously on parallel obstacle tracks in a high-speed test of strength, agility, and endurance. Casting for the upcoming season is already underway, and, as in previous seasons, competitors will battle through a series of physically demanding challenges for the chance to win the grand prize of $250,000. The high-stakes knockout bracket — introduced in Season 17 — will also return as part of the format. Hosts Matt Iseman, Akbar Gbajabiamila, and Zuri Hall are all confirmed to return to guide viewers through the action-packed course and offer commentary on the competitors' performances. American Ninja Warrior remains a cornerstone of NBC's summer programming. The current 17th season premiered in June and has already reached over 23 million viewers across NBC and Peacock, the network reports. Produced by A. Smith & Co. Productions, the series is executive produced by Arthur Smith, Kent Weed, Anthony Storm, Brian Richardson, and Kristen Stabile. The show is based on the Japanese hit series Sasuke, which has aired 42 seasons on Tokyo Broadcasting System Television. In addition to American Ninja Warrior, NBC continues to bolster its unscripted summer lineup with shows like America's Got Talent and Destination X, along with scripted programming like the Canadian medical drama Transplant, which airs Thursdays. Season 18 of American Ninja Warrior is expected to deliver even more intense competition with its newly expanded race format and returning fan-favorite hosts.

Stephen Colbert to appear as fictional late-night host on CBS series Elsbeth
Former Late Show host Stephen Colbert will make a guest appearance in Season 3 of CBS's crime‐comedy series Elsbeth, where he will play Scotty Bristol, host of the fictional show Way Late with Scotty Bristol. The role was first reported by Vulture and later confirmed by Variety. The appearance was pitched during a 2025 interview when Elsbeth star Wendell Pierce visited The Late Show. During their exchange, Colbert joked that he wanted to guest star, perhaps even playing a corpse, and Pierce teased, 'I can make that happen.' The third season of Elsbeth is set to premiere on October 12, 2025, and production reportedly began before CBS announced the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (which will end in May 2026 for financial reasons). CBS declined to comment on the appearance, and Colbert's representatives have not issued a statement. His role on Elsbeth marks a continuation of his late-night persona, but in a fictional setting, despite the news that his real-world talk show is ending.

Soulja Boy arrested on firearm charge during Los Angeles traffic stop
Rapper Soulja Boy, legally known as DeAndre Cortez Way, was arrested early Sunday morning in Los Angeles on a firearms-related charge, according to information confirmed by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and reported by Variety. Police stated that the incident took place at approximately 2:35 a.m. at the intersection of Melrose and Genesee during a routine traffic stop. Soulja Boy was a passenger in the vehicle when officers allegedly noticed a firearm. He was arrested for being a convicted felon in possession of a gun. The arrest adds to the rapper's mounting legal issues. Soulja Boy rose to prominence in 2007 with his chart-topping hit 'Crank That (Soulja Boy),' followed by other successful singles like 'Turn My Swag On' and 'Kiss Me Thru the Phone.' In recent years, however, he has garnered more attention for legal controversies than for music. In April 2025, he was ordered to pay $4 million in a civil case related to sexual assault allegations, significantly worsening his legal standing. In a 2021 interview with Paper magazine, Soulja Boy addressed his place in hip hop. 'I don't care about my place, bro,' he said. 'I know what I did for the culture. I know how lit I am. The people are going to figure it out.' The news of his latest arrest was first reported by TMZ. As of now, no additional details on charges or bail have been released, and the investigation remains ongoing.
