The Latte Is Mine: Brandy & Monica Introduce Dunkin's Cereal N' Milk Latte In New Ad
Source: Tony Bowen / Dunkin' Two of our favorite voices ever have collaborated once again. Continue reading to see Goonica and The Voice Bible in their latest duet, if you will. Brandy and Monica have reunited in a fresh and playful way, starring in Dunkin's new campaign for the Cereal N' Milk Latte. The ad riffs on their iconic rivalry from 'The Boy Is Mine,' this time with the tagline 'The Latte Is Mine.' In the spot, the two singers humorously bicker over who gets the latte before a cup magically appears, bringing back the witty chemistry that made them cultural icons in the late '90s. The drink itself blends espresso with cereal-infused milk and marshmallow flavor, tapping into childhood nostalgia with a grown-up twist. Alongside the ad, Dunkin' is releasing limited-edition merch, making the campaign as much about pop culture as it is about coffee. The timing of the spot is no coincidence! It arrives just as Brandy and Monica step back into the spotlight together. Their relationship has long fascinated fans, beginning with their 1998 mega-hit 'The Boy Is Mine,' which spent 13 weeks at #1 and cemented both as R&B powerhouses. While their careers took different paths and were often marked by rumors of rivalry, the two reunited for performances and even a Verzuz battle in 2020 that reminded the world of their undeniable impact. Now, they're taking it full circle with The Boy Is Mine Tour, their first-ever joint headlining tour. Running from October to December, the 27-city arena trek will feature special guests Kelly Rowland, Muni Long, and American Idol winner Jamal Roberts. The tour is more than a nostalgic throwback. It's a celebration of two women who shaped modern R&B, finally sharing the stage in a way fans have dreamed of for decades. Combined with their Dunkin' spot, Brandy and Monica are reclaiming their shared history on their own terms, showing that their bond is as culturally powerful as it was in 1998. Check out the new Dunkin' spot, along with some photos from the campaign below!

‘I'm Voting for Stephen': Jimmy Kimmel's Emmys FYC Ad Stands Up for Colbert and ‘The Late Show' Amid CBS Cancellation
In an unprecedented display of industry solidarity, Jimmy Kimmel has erected a billboard at the high-traffic intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and La Cienega in West Hollywood, urging Emmy voters to support 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' for outstanding talk series rather than his own nominated program. The strategically placed advertisement features a simple yet powerful message: 'I'm voting for Stephen.' The billboard serves as both a gesture of support for fellow late-night host Stephen Colbert and a pointed commentary on CBS's recent cancellation of 'The Late Show.' More from Variety How Julianne Nicholson's Comedic Role in 'Hacks' Changed Everything: 'I'm Actually Really Funny Too!' Stephen Colbert's Kamala Harris Interview Brought Together Two Beleaguered Symbols of Embattled Institutions Emmys 2025 Voters' Guide: Breaking Down the Early Frontrunners CBS canceled Colbert's program last month following Paramount Global's merger with Skydance Media. The newly formed entity cited cost-cutting measures as the primary reason for ending the long-running series, a decision that has generated significant controversy within the entertainment industry. The cancellation comes at a critical time for 'The Late Show,' which faces its final opportunity for Emmy recognition. Since its 2015 debut, the CBS program has accumulated 33 Emmy nominations across various categories, making it the second most-nominated show in Primetime Emmy history never to win an award — trailing only AMC's 'Better Call Saul,' which went 0-for-53 during its six-season run. This year's talk series category features 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' alongside ABC's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' and Comedy Central's 'The Daily Show.' The category represents one of only 15 Emmy categories decided by the full Television Academy membership, amplifying the impact of Kimmel's public endorsement. The billboard's location — situated near major entertainment offices and within blocks of the Television Academy headquarters — ensures maximum visibility among Emmy voters. Industry observers view the gesture as more than collegiality, interpreting it as commentary on the broader challenges facing traditional late-night programming in an evolving media landscape. The cancellation has sparked speculation about potential political motivations, given late-night television's increasingly critical coverage of political figures, including President Donald Trump. Many industry insiders characterize the decision as symptomatic of the administration's impact on editorial independence. In addition to the talk series recognition, Kimmel is also nominated this year for outstanding game show host for ABC's 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' and as an executive producer and host for the short form variety series 'The Rabbit Hole With Jimmy Kimmel' on YouTube. The 77th Emmy Awards, hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze, will broadcast live on Sunday, Sept. 14, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS. The ceremony will also stream live and on-demand through select Paramount+ packages.
