LeToya Luckett and Taleo Coles are giving us couples style goals, and we are obsessed. Each brought their own take on brown with LeToya in a liquid, patent leather like gown and Taleo in a sharp tailored suit. Is the phrase 'a couple that slays together, slays together' their mantra? Source:Getty
If Black Tie was the dress code then D-Nice and his girlfriend Jennifer Freeman embodied it! We love Jennifer's halter-style dress that showed off her tiny waist, sculpted arms, and curvy legs. Sis looks good! And DJ D-Nice matches her fly in a black suit with his signature wide brim hat. 10 out of 10 for this couple! Source:Getty
DeVon Franklin and Maria Castillo are another couple who chose to bet on black. DeVon wears a classic black tuxedo with a bow tie. Maria continues his sophisticated vibe with a black sequin dress and simple jewelry. (We see that engagement ring, Maria!) Source:Getty
Snoop Dogg and his wife Shante Broadus chose to bring bold color to the 2025 BET Awards just before the rapper received his Ultimate Icon Award. The couple, who have been married for 28 years, each rocked their own take on electric blue. Snoop wore a relaxed long button down and pants, while Shante chose a suit with exaggerated shoulders. Both stunted for the cameras in shades.

Taylor Swift Hilarious Roasts 'Male Sports Fans' in 'New Heights' Intro
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Jason and Travis Kelce have one of the most popular podcasts in the world, "New Heights." The show has only gotten more popular since Travis began dating pop superstar Taylor Swift, and now the most famous musician in the world is set to make her podcast debut on said podcast. More news: Vikings Confirm Rondale Moore Will Miss Entire 2025 Season In a moment that could quite literally break the internet, Swift will debut on "New Heights" when the new episode of the podcast drops on Wednesday at 7 pm EST. Ahead of the debut, the podcast has already dropped some huge moments from the episode. One is Swift showing off her new album to both Travis and Jason, and another is Jason nearly running out of breath while offering up a crazy introduction. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING TAYLOR SWIFT. TONIGHT. 7PM ET. — New Heights (@newheightshow) August 13, 2025 Jason states during his introduction that Swift has 14 Grammy awards, the most awarded artist in the history of the American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and iHeart Music Awards, and her newest album set the record for 1.7 billion streams globally in the first week. That fact was surprising to Swift, who stated, "Wow, really?" Travis Kelce (L) and Taylor Swift (R) react as the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers play during the first period in Game 4 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final at the Amerant Bank Arena... Travis Kelce (L) and Taylor Swift (R) react as the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers play during the first period in Game 4 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final at the Amerant Bank Arena on June 12, 2025 in Sunrise, Florida. MoreMore news: Jon Gruden Wastes No Time Picking the Best Current NFL Quarterback Following Jason's crazy introduction, Swift took a chance to address the hilarious elephant in the room, and also lean into what "male sports fans" complained about when she began to attend football games. "As we all know. You guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast, and um, I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens, it's more of me," Swift quipped. If anyone happened to be on social media when Swift made her NFL game debut, the comments were filled with people questioning why the phenom was blasted across the telecast of any game she attended. When Swift and Travis' relationship began to blossom, she was even bringing other famed singers with her, like Ice Spice. Swift is clearly a global superstar, and her accolades are a mile long. Naturally, her appearance on her first podcast being "New Heights," might make the show explode even more. It will be interesting to see what Swift says regarding football. Travis has been very vocal about turning her into a football fan, and claims the global superstar knows a lot about the game. Travis also explained recently in a GQ cover story that Swift's workouts put him to shame. Either way, this should be an exciting episode, and the world is sure to tune in.

A$AP Rocky, Ice Spice, and Denzel Light Up Spike Lee's New Crime Epic
Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Brooklyn came alive as Spike Lee unveiled his latest film, Highest 2 Lowest , with a star-packed premiere at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in Fort Greene — the very neighborhood that helped shape his cinematic voice. The red carpet and after party was a who's-who of film, and music: Denzel Washington and his beautiful wife of 42 years Pauletta, A$AP Rocky, Jeffrey Wright, Boris Kodjoe with Nicole Ari Parker, Chance the Rapper, Slick Rick, NBA champion Rick Fox, Key (of Key and Peele) and breakout acting star popular rapper Ice Spice, who makes her acting debut in the film. Radio/TV personality Jazmyn Summers was there for Radio One to get the tea. Speaking at the premiere, Denzel shared a key line from his character: 'You don't tell God no, you take it and make it work.' As he reflected on choosing roles carefully, he admitted, 'Increasingly now… I don't have to [do a project], but more importantly, I don't want to.' This marks the fifth collaboration between Spike Lee and Denzel Washington—and their first in 19 years, following Inside Man in 2006. At Cannes, Lee teased that thisis probably their last film together. But at the premiere he told Summers he was 'taking that back,' underscoring a bond that's unbreakable. He also emphasized that working with Denzel again felt effortless: 'It's not like we had to catch up. We never lost a step.' We care about your data. See our privacy policy. Hi ghest 2 Lowest is Lee's modern reimagining of Akira Kurosawa's 1963 thriller High and Low , but instead of the Japanese corporate world, this version plunges into the high-stakes music industry of New York City. Washington plays David King, a legendary music mogul whose life is thrown into chaos when his driver's young son is kidnapped by mistake. Faced with a ransom demand that forces him to choose between protecting his empire or doing the right thing, King must confront his own moral compass. With jazz-tinged beats, tense moral dilemmas, and rap battles that tell a story within the story, this crime thriller is part Kurosawa homage, part love letter to New York—and all Spike Lee. The film will be released in select theaters August 15 and stream on Apple TV September 5. STAY INFORMED! CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER! 'This is really about morals and the choices people make,' Lee told Radio One's Jazmyn Summers on the carpet, nodding to the film's core message. 'All money ain't good money,' a line delivered by Washington in the film, has already become one of its defining quotes — a sharp reminder that every deal has a cost. Lee resets the story in the music industry with a distinctly New York heartbeat. Spike Lee's New York is everywhere—from framed Jalen Brunson jerseys to Yankee stadium cameo scenes, Knicks fandom, and a playful 'Boston sucks!' battle cry . It's a New York homage,—with culture, the city's grit, its unique tapestry of cultures and its vibrant music from the late Eddie Palmieri to A$AP Rocky. Adding fresh energy to the ensemble is Ice Spice, known for her chart-topping hits, who makes her screen debut under Lee's direction. One of the most talked-about scenes is a rap-battle in a basement studio—Denzel improvises lyrics inspired by Nas, delivering a powerful, unscripted performance, while A$AP Rocky stands toe-to-toe as his rival. It plays like a cinematic heavyweight fight—'blow to blow to blow. Spike Lee praised Rocky's acting chops, calling out audiences not to 'sleep on' him: Rocky went 'toe-to-toe' with Denzel and held his own. The two even throw hands – and feet– in a fast paced chase and brawl. Who wins both battles? You'll just have to see the film to find out. READ MORE STORIES: A$AP Rocky, Ice Spice, and Denzel Light Up Spike Lee's New Crime Epic Killa Clown! Cam'ron's 10 Most Petty Moments Beyoncé Wins First Emmy Award for Netflix's 'Beyoncé Bowl' A$AP Rocky said he wasn't nervous at all acting alongside Denzel—'I was born for this.' He describes it as a dream come true, though admittedly challenging, given his admiration for Washington's career. Music plays a central role—Spike Lee curated the film's soundtrack, featuring original songs by A$AP Rocky, Aiyana-Lee (who also appears in the film), and Jensen McRae. Aiyana-Lee's title track provides a soulful, hopeful tone of resilience, complemented by a lush score from Howard Drossin and a jazz-inflected EP by Fergus McCreadie's trio Pithfork. The director also paid tribute to the late Eddie Palmieri, who appears in the film, honoring his legacy in both music and culture. Highest 2 Lowest is classic Spike Lee—rich in culture, music, moral complexity, and cinematic bravado. It's both a reunion and a romp, an homage and a fresh statement. With electrifying turns from Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky and the New York spirit beating at its core, this film promises to hit hard. It forces you to ask yourself what would you do when everything is on the line. Source: Jazmyn Summers / Jazmyn Summers Article by Jazmyn Summers.
