Is Zatima season 4 releasing in July 2025? Everything we know so far
Fans of Zatima , the BET+ spin-off from Tyler Perry's Sistas , can't stop talking about Zac and Fatima's wild ride of love and drama. Word's been flying around—especially on X—that Season 4 might hit screens in July 2025. Is there any truth to the buzz? This article rounds up all the details out there, from release rumors to plot guesses, cast updates, and more, to keep readers in the know. Is July 2025 Locked In for Zatima Season 4?
Right now, BET+ and Tyler Perry Studios haven't pinned down an official release date for Zatima Season 4. A post on X from @ZatimaOnBET recently got everyone excited, mentioning that the show is 'targeting the second half of 2025.' That could include July, but nothing's set in stone. Some chatter online hints at a possible slide to late 2025 or even early 2026. Until a trailer or official word drops, it's all just hopeful speculation.
Tyler Perry's known for churning out seasons fast, so a summer 2025 premiere isn't far-fetched. Still, fans should check BET+'s socials or Perry's X account for the latest updates to stay ahead of the curve. Where's the July 2025 Hype Coming From?
The July talk seems to stem from fans piecing together clues. Zatima seasons have typically rolled out about a year apart, with Season 3 wrapping earlier in 2025. A July drop would fit that pattern and match BET+'s tendency to launch big shows during peak summer streaming months. Without solid confirmation, though, it's more of a fan wish than a done deal. What's Coming in Season 4?
No official plot details have surfaced yet, but Season 3 left plenty of loose ends that need tying up. The finale had jaws dropping, and the next chapter's sure to dive into the aftermath. Based on the show's vibe and fan buzz, here's what might go down: Plot Predictions Zac and Fatima's Journey : The heart of Zatima is their messy, beautiful relationship. Season 4 will likely explore whether they can overcome fresh challenges—think family drama, career stress, or outside forces testing their bond.
Supporting Players : Characters like Bryce, Angela, and Jeremiah might get bigger storylines, diving into their own struggles or ties to the main couple.
Perry's Signature Twists: Expect classic Tyler Perry moves—shocking reveals, heartbreak, and maybe a redemption arc or two to keep viewers hooked. Any New Characters?
No casting news has dropped about fresh faces, but Perry's shows often toss in new players to shake things up. Could a new rival or ally stir the pot? Fans on X are already throwing out theories. More details will likely come once production wraps. Who's Back for Season 4?
Barring any big surprises, the core cast should return. Expect to see: Devale Ellis as Zac Taylor, the charming lead with plenty of baggage.
Crystal Renee Hayslett as Fatima Wilson, the show's emotional anchor.
Novi Brown as Angela, always bringing the fire.
Remington Hoffman as Bryce, stirring up trouble.
Cameron Fuller as Nathan, ready to add more layers.
Talk of Sistas crossovers is floating around since the shows share a universe, but nothing's confirmed yet. That'd be a fun treat, though.

'Bridgerton' season 4: Everything we know so far
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The moment that "Bridgerton" season 3 and all of its carriage-rattling, Lady Whistledown-revealing fun came to an end — don't worry, you can revisit the romantic adventures of Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) whenever you want with a Netflix subscription — our attentions immediately turned to next season. It's on our way, but how much longer must we wait? Yes, "Bridgerton" season 4 was announced by the streaming platform all the way back in April 2021, and we've already got burning questions about the upcoming episodes. We officially know which Bridgerton sibling will serve as this season's romantic lead (more on that in a minute), but just how faithful will the new episodes be to that character's book? No matter how closely production sticks to the source material, the fourth season of "Bridgerton" will surely have all of the opulent costumes, sumptuous ballrooms and romantic steaminess we've come to expect from the Netflix series. Here's everything you need to know about "Bridgerton" season 4. 'Bridgerton' season 4 release date window Bad news, Ton diehards: not only is there not yet an official release date for "Bridgerton" season 4, but it also seems like there's going to be a bit of a wait before we catch up with Benedict (Luke Thompson), Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), Colin and the rest of the Bridgerton brood. Fans can expect to see a new season sometime in 2026, per an interview with "Bridgerton" showrunner Jess Brownell. 'We are working to try and put the seasons out more quickly, but they do take eight months to film and then they have to be edited, and then they have to be dubbed into every language,' Brownell told The Hollywood Reporter last June. 'And the writing takes a very long time as well, so we're kind of on a two-year pace. We're trying to speed up, but somewhere in that range.' A two-year wait isn't unprecedented for the series: The first season premiered in December 2020, with season 2 following in March 2022 and season 3 dropping in May 2024. At least the powers that be are planning to make the wait worth your while:'I'm really excited about what we're writing. We're toward the end with the writers' room season, with the scripts. And I feel like it's some of my best work and my writers' room's best work," Brownell told THR. "We've just really gelled our collaboration, and we're firing on all cylinders, so I can't wait for fans to see what we have. In April 2021, Netflix announced its renewal of season 3 and season 4. At the time, Netflix VP of Global TV Bela Bajaria said, 'Bridgerton swept us off our feet. The creative team, led by Shonda, knew the material and delivered a beautiful, emotional, romantic drama for our members. They have some exciting plans for the future, and we think audiences will continue to swoon for this show. We're planning to be in the Bridgerton business for a long time to come." But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It looks like filming on season 4 has officially wrapped up as of spring 2025, with Netflix sharing a cute behind-the-scenes video to its social-media accounts on June 20 showing various cast members heading into their respective trailers in their period costumes and stepping back out in their modern-day plainclothes. "Do join us in bidding our dear Ton a farewell as they conclude the production of the forthcoming season!" read the video's caption. "Indeed, there is much to look forward to…" How many episodes will 'Bridgerton' season 4 be? "Bridgerton" season 4 will reportedly consist of eight episodes, which is the same amount as the first three editions of the show. However, it's unclear if the fourth season will follow in the footsteps of its predecessor and be split into two parts, or if all of the episodes will hit the streamer in go. Stay tuned! Who is in the 'Bridgerton' season 4 cast? Though 'Bridgerton' season 3 mainly focused on the coupling of Colin and Penelope (who — spoiler alert! — got their happily-ever-after, including a sweet giggling baby, by the season's end), it featured plenty of romantic hijinks for the rest of the Bridgerton clan, from Benedict further exploring his sexuality to Eloise leaving the Ton for a sojourn to Scotland with Francesca, her new hubby John Stirling (Victor Alli) and his beguiling cousin Michaela (Masali Baduza). According to Tudum, Luke Thompson's Benedict and Claudia Jessie's Eloise will both be back for the new episodes, as well as Nicola Coughlan's Penelope and Luke Newton's Colin. "I love my role in the show, so I can't see myself going anywhere. I just want to finish the stories off, Newton told Teen Vogue. "I would say there's still stuff to get sorted in season 4, so yeah, that's why I'm there.' And yes, another previous "Bridgerton" main couple will join Coughlan and Newton in returning to the Ton for season 4: Viscount Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and pregnant wife Kate (Simone Ashley). Hannah Dodd's Francesca, as well as younger Bridgerton siblings Hyacinth (Florence Hunt) and Gregory (Will Tilston) are also expected to return for season 4. And given that Bridgerton matriarch Violet, played by Ruth Gemmell, had her own fair share of romantic tension in season 3 opposite Lady Danbury's brother, Lord Marcus Anderson (Daniel Francis), we expect to see both mama and her love interest next season. Tudum also lists the return of Penelope's mother, Philipa Featherington (Polly Walker), as well as Adjoa Andoh as Lady Danbury, Golda Rosheuvel as Queen Charlotte, Martins Imhangbe as Will Mondrich and Emma Naomi as Alice Mondrich. And as for new faces, there will be several, the most notable being Yerin Ha as Benedict's love interest, "the determined and captivating Sophie Baek, a victim of tragic circumstances" that the Bridgerton gent meets at Lady Bridgerton's famed masquerade ball. Joining season 4 will also be Katie Leung as Araminta Gun, a twice-married and twice-widowed woman with two daughters debuting on the marriage mart this season. "Fabulous, discerning, and blunt, Araminta does not respond well when anything — or anyone — threatens her standing in society," per Netflix. There's also Araminta's beautiful and vain eldest daughter Rosamund Li played by Michelle Mao, who has her sights sets on Benedict this social season, as well as her younger, kinder sister Posy Li (Isabella Wei). Is there a 'Bridgerton' season 4 teaser trailer? There isn't an official trailer for "Bridgerton" season 4 just yet, but Netflix has released some teasers over the past few months. In July 2024, the streamer released a 30-second clip announcing that Luke Thompson's Benedict Bridgerton would be serving as this season's romantic lead: "Welcome to the marriage mart, Benedict!" And as a little Valentine's Day treat, Netflix also published a behind-the-scenes teaser on February 14, 2025, spotlighting Thompson and his new onscreen leading lady Yerin Ha, with cheery cameos from the larger Bridgerton family: And most recently, on March 14, the streamer gave fans a closer look at one of the book's most memorable moments: when Benedict Bridgerton encounters his future love Sophie Baek (changed from the novel's Beckett) at the masquerade ball: 'Bridgerton' season 4 spoilers and book story Spoiler warning: The following contains detailed information about Julia Quinn's novels "An Offer From a Gentleman" and "Romancing Mr. Bridgerton." While "Bridgerton" the series hasn't entirely followed Quinn's novels to the letter, seasons 1 and 2 did closely track the plot of her first two "Bridgerton" books, "The Duke and I" and "The Viscount Who Loved Me." Some storylines were shifted from later books, like the revelation of Lady Whistledown's identity. However, season 3 diverged from the books. It did not take story cues from book 3, "An Offer From a Gentleman," which features a Cinderella-like romance between Benedict Bridgerton and a new character named Sophie Beckett. Instead, the third season skipped over Benedict's story and drew from the fourth book, "Romancing Mr. Bridgerton," which focuses on Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. That means that season 4 will get things back on track and focus on the Bridgertons' bohemian brother, the artsy Benedict. The last we saw of Benedict in the season 3 finale, he had just rejected Lady Tilley Arnold (Hannah New) and her proposal of a monogamous relationship, sans their recent paramour Paul Suarez (Lucas Aurelio), in favor of staying single. However, Benedict's plans are thrown for a loop when he encounters the mysterious Sophie Bae at his mother's masquerade ball, which will reportedly take place in the very first episode of the new season. Thompson told Tulum about bringing the star-crossed lovers' story to life. 'The scripts that [showrunner] Jess [Brownell] and her team have come up with are dynamite. They're really, really, really exciting,' he said. 'The storyline is a bit of a twist on 'Cinderella.' You remember being told those stories as a child — the magic and the romance of them. It's really exciting to have that weaved into the world that we know of Bridgerton … It's such a great story, but it's also, I hope, really relatable.' 'What's striking about Season 4,' Thompson added, 'is that it's the struggle between a proper old-school fairy tale — the romance of it — and the actual reality of the world.' Through Benedict and Sophia's relationship, season 4 will delve more deeply into both the powerful houses of the Ton and the people who keep those aristocratic lifestyles going behind the scenes. 'Both are true,' Thompson continued. 'You have to hold both of them — the romance and the reality — in your hand. In its best version, 'true love' happens in the middle of that.'Tom's Guide will keep you posted on all things "Bridgerton" season 4, including character details, new clips and trailer, and plot points.

34 Wildly Cringe-Worthy Celeb Moments
At the 2009 MTV VMAs, Lil Mama shocked everyone when she got up onstage and started dancing during Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' performance. Apparently, it was her grandma's birthday, so she was in a celebratory mood. "I'm from New York City. So when the song [kicked] up... I got excited, and I went up there," she later said, noting that she was sober. The video's hard to watch — Lil Mama kind of awkwardly walks up to the performers and dances a bit, then copies their ending pose. Oh, and this is after Beyoncé pulls her back, trying to stop her from going onstage. Speaking of the VMAs — when accepting MTV's Video Vanguard Award, Katy Perry made some people cringe after giving a speech about the "noise" female artists deal with, joking about her period and bringing up criticisms after she cut her hair short. This might've been fine, and haircuts kind of pale in comparison to rampant sexual assault and intimidation in the music industry. Let's not forget that Perry is actively still working with Dr. Luke, who fellow star Kesha accused of rape (the two reached a settlement last year). In fact, Dr. Luke worked with Perry on her new song "Women's World," which is supposed to be an empowering feminist anthem. Though, this, too, ended up being a cringe moment for Perry, with fans near-universally panning the song and accompanying video as surface-level feminism as seen through the male gaze. Perry later claimed it was "satire." Madonna has had a lottttt of cringe moments. In one recent example, at one of Madonna's concerts, she spoke about her mother's death. She then began singing — and stopped to chastise someone in the audience for not paying enough attention to her. Pointing him out, she said, "Look at him. See, he's wearing like barely nothing. Him! The guy with the T-shirt and chains that looks like he wants to get f**ked right now." She continued, "I just want to point out that while I was singing my heart out about the loss of my mother he was looking around at the crowd … not at me. I'm just pointing out that I f**king pay attention, so you need to pay attention young man! You're going to destroy your ego, right now." At another concert, Madonna reportedly chastised a fan for sitting during the show, saying, "What are you doing sitting down over there?" Walking forward and apparently realizing the person was in a wheelchair, Madonna said, "Oh, okay. Politically incorrect. Sorry about that. I'm glad you're here." According to a fan, "There's a part where during the show she asks everyone to stand up. It's not about who's sitting/standing during the entire show. Just 1 section she asks for participation. And this time she embarrassed herself." Celebs can be super weird about activism in general, and I have to bring up a few more examples. Like, um, the time AnnaLynne McCord wrote a poem to Vladimir Putin about how things would be different if she were his mother. It's an odd response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, to say the least. I genuinely will never forget David Guetta's tribute to George Floyd, and not for a good reason. While livestreaming a DJ set for COVID relief, Guetta said he'd "made a special record in honor of George Floyd," adding "shoutout to his family" before playing an EDM mashup of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech and the Hamster Dance song. He then started dancing. I don't know what it is with white celebrities and George Floyd, but Guetta was not the only one to do something weird. did Heather Morris (y'know, from Glee) take to Instagram to share an interpretive dance piece she'd choreographed in Floyd's honor? Similarly, Lili Reinhart made some fans cringe when she posted a nude photo on Instagram with a caption about Breonna Taylor. "Now that my sideboob has gotten your attention, Breonna Taylor's murderers have not been arrested," she wrote. "Demand justice." She later apologized, writing, "I've always tried to use my platform for good. And speak up about things that are important to me. I also can admit when I make a mistake and I made a mistake with my caption. It was never my intent to insult anyone and I'm truly sorry to those that were offended." She continued in a second tweet, "I've tried very hard to be honest on my IGTV lives that I'm still learning and trying to be better. But I understand that my caption came off as tone deaf. I truly had good intentions and did not think it through that it could come off as insensitive." Another cringe-worthy example of a celeb trying to do good — and disastrously failing — was when Alyssa Milano tweeted, "I'm trans. I'm a person of color. I'm an immigrant. I'm a lesbian. I'm a gay man. I'm the disabled. I'm everything." Milano — who is none of the above, quickly started receiving backlash. "I'm glad this tweet invoked conversation. I'm so sorry it offended some. I see you and hear you," she wrote after backlash. Another example? When Tom Hiddleston used his acceptance speech at the Golden Globes to talk about the impact his TV show had on aid workers in South Sudan, leading to some accusing him of trivializing the issue and having an inflated sense of importance. After backlash, Hiddleston apologized on Facebook, writing, "I just wanted to say…I completely agree that my speech at the Golden Globes last night was inelegantly expressed. In truth, I was very nervous, and my words came out wrong. Sincerely, my only intention was to salute the incredible bravery and courage of the men and women who work so tirelessly for UNICEF UK, Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and World Food Programme, and the children of South Sudan, who continue to find hope and joy in the most difficult conditions. I apologise that my nerves got the better of me." In another attempt at allyship, I guess, Mark Ruffalo once inexplicably tweeted that "I said a prayer the other day and when God answered me back she was a Black Woman." Look, I get it. Celebs are trying to say something important and profound. It always land. Like when Kelly Osbourne clearly thought she was making a powerful statement about the value of immigrants on The ended up suggesting immigrants are necessary because they clean toilets. After the controversy, Osbourne said she'd made a "poor choice of words" but said she would "not apologize for being racist as I am NOT." Later, she called the moment "the most cringe moment of my entire life" and "the worst thing I've ever done," clarifying she meant, "This whole country is built on immigrants, and if you stop people from coming into this country who do the jobs that make this country exist and thrive and flourish, who's going to do all the jobs that you don't want to do yourself?" I'm starting to think that celebs should sometimes quiet, y'know? Like, remember when Lena Dunham said that she wished she'd had an abortion? Speaking on her podcast about visiting a Planned Parenthood in Texas, she said she was asked to share her abortion story. "I sort of jumped. 'I haven't had an abortion.' ... I wanted to make it really clear to her that as much as I was going out and fighting for other women's options, I myself had never had an abortion. And I realized then that even I was carrying within myself stigma around this issue. ... It was an important moment for me then to realize that I had internalized some of what society was throwing at us. And I had to put it in the garbage." She continued, "Now I can say that I still haven't had an abortion, but I wish I had." After backlash, Dunham apologized, saying, "I truly hope a distasteful joke on my part won't diminish the amazing work of all the women who participated. ... I would never, ever intentionally trivialize the emotional and physical challenges of terminating a pregnancy.' I mean, celebrities aren't necessarily the most educated on current events, social issues, and history. Remember when a fan asked Bebe Rexha where she'd go if she could time travel, and Rexha replied, "I would go to Paris 1940s"? For context, Paris was under Nazi occupation in the 1940s. When people pointed this out, Rexha wrote, "Girl I failed history. I just googled it." Moving on from one of the most embarrassing social media fails to me, Mia Farrow once posted a happy birthday message to her daughter Quincy, accompanied by a photo. Innocent enough, right? Except she forgot to crop the photo and posted it with the search bar visible. To find the photo, she'd searched "Mia Farrow and her black children." In another online fail, back in 2014, Rita Ora tweeted that she'd release new music if she got 100,000 retweets. It only got 2,000 retweets, and Ora deleted the tweet. She then tweeted, "By the way my Twitter got hacked somebody is threatening to release new music I've worked really hard on. Nothing comes out until I'm ready." Jim Carrey's two-minute-long video declaring his love for Emma Stone is definitely one of the more bizarre things I've seen a celebrity do, and whether or not he was joking, it had everyone cringing. In the video, Carrey says, "If I were a lot younger, I would marry you, and we would have chubby little freckle-faced kids. We'd laugh all day long and go camping, play Yahtzee, tell ghost stories by the fire. And the sex..." He trailed off, clearly thinking about sex with Emma Stone. Emma took the video in stride, later saying of the video, "Right before that video came out, we were at the MTV Movie Awards. Jason Sudeikis hosted … There was like five of us, and we just went on this tangent of talking nice behind Jim Carrey's back. Jason was talking about how great [Carrey] was when he went to Saturday Night Live and how he was just like a comedic genius. Everyone was kind of weighing in, like 'He's the best. He's amazing.' And so when [the video] happened, we all kind of talked to each other like, 'Weird, that was the guy we were lauding for, like, 30 minutes.' Have you ever done that? Just all sat around a table saying nice things about one person? It was the greatest thing. You walk away, and you were just like, That felt so good, to talk about how wonderful someone is." Ben Affleck made headlines in 2021 after a woman named Nivine Jay posted a TikTok claiming she had matched with Affleck on Raya but unmatched him because she thought his profile was fake. She then alleged that Affleck had reached out to her on Instagram, sending her a video in which he said, "Nivine, why did you unmatch me? It's me!" This might all seem a little she posted the video Affleck sent. Most of us remember when Adam Levine got in hot water in 2022 after multiple women came forward with flirty messages he had sent them — even though he's married. "Holy f–k. Holy f–king f–k. That body of yours is absurd," he allegedly wrote in several messages. "F–kkkkkkkkk I'd do anything for it," he wrote in another. Fans reposted the comments, captioning them with their own scenarios like "Me when I see a Klondike Bar." But while we may remember the memes, I feel like one of the most cringe-worthy parts of this got overlooked: that Levine's wife, Behati Prinsloo, was pregnant at the time, and Levine apparently wanted to name their child after one of the women he was DMing, Sumner Stroh. Stroh (who claimed the two had an affair) shared an alleged DM from Levine reading, "Ok serious question. I'm having another baby and if it's [a] boy I really wanna name it Sumner. You ok with that? DEAD serious." Levine later released a statement admitting to using "poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner." However, he denied having an affair. 'I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period of my life. In certain instances it became inappropriate.' I will personally never forget James Corden's infamous AMA (Reddit's "Ask Me Anything," where fans can, well, ask the celeb anything). Signing on to promote Carpool Karaoke, Corden was flooded with insults and questions regarding claims about his staff's pay, with the most well-known being a comment from someone claiming to have sat next to Corden at a restaurant and calling him "a massively entitled c*** who yelled and treated the waitstaff like shit." The other comments were so negative that he only answered three before signing off. Grimes certainly has her fair share of cringe moments, but I think the worst has got to be when she was photographed in this wild futuristic outfit reading The Community Manifesto after splitting from Elon Musk. She later claimed she'd done it to troll paparazzi and "yield the most onion-ish possible headline." certainly succeeded. The New York Post headline was "Grimes seen reading Karl Marx following split with world's richest man Elon Musk." Although, I think I may actually have found an even more cringe-worthy paparazzi shot: when Bradley Cooper was photographed with then-girlfriend Suki Waterhouse reading Lolita in a park. Cooper was 38 at the time, while Waterhouse was 21. There are about a million cringe-worthy Logan Paul moments to choose from — which means some of the smaller ones get overlooked. Like the time he promoted Lunchly (a similar product to Lunchables, co-created by Paul) while his wife was giving birth. "I turned the hospital room into a vibe," he captioned a Snapchat story of his fiancé. The post showed the room decorated with string lights and stocked with the kid's lunch product, zooming in on a pack. Because there's nothing that makes the birth of your child more special than self-promo. Later, he tweeted, "unfortunately i'm just now seeing what's happening with the conflict and will pause on tomorrow's announcement. i pray for everyone's safety 🙏🏾" In yet another embarrassing social media snafu, Charli D'Amelio spotted #HereForCharli trending on Twitter in 2021 and tweeted, "Oh my goodness, you are all so sweet to me. You have no idea how much your kind words warm my heart i am so lucky to have you all by my side!! I love you bebs." However, she quickly deleted the tweet when fans pointed out the hashtag was actually for Charli XCX, whose friend, the musician and producer, Sophie, died suddenly. Zac Efron was also feeling grateful at an inappropriate time. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2016, Zac Efron tweeted out a photo of himself captioned: "I'm grateful for a couple things today: Martin Luther King Jr. & 10 million followers on IG." In response to backlash over seemingly equating MLK's contributions with milestones in Instagram followers, Efron deleted the tweet and wrote, "I have nothing but the greatest admiration & respect for MLK. My last post was insensitive & I apologize to anyone who I offended. So sorry." When Bow Wow flexed his luxurious travel plans on Instagram, it seemed like a pretty regular celeb post, complete with a photo of a private jet and the caption, "Travel day. NYC press run for Growing Up Hip Hop. Lets gooo." However, he was embarrassingly exposed when a Twitter user posted a photo of Bow Wow flying commercial, writing, "So this guy lil Bow Wow is on my flight to NY but on Instagram he posted a picture of a private jet captioned 'traveling to NY today.'" And am I the only one who thought Alec Baldwin's posting a photo of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins as a "tribute" — a year after he held the gun that killed her — was super cringe-worthy? It was captioned "one year ago..." as if it was some kind of nostalgic TBT. It feels especially weird considering he was later charged with involuntary manslaughter for the killing (the case was later dismissed). One more social media example – when Kardashian hanger-on Foodgod, aka Jonathan Cheban, posted a story on Instagram asking, "Should I go live later?" and the answer was "no." How come no one but me seems to remember when CeeLo Green attempted a disastrous rebrand back in late 2016? He even released a song — "Fuck Me, I'm Famous" — as his alter ego "Gnarly Davidson." He then attended the 2017 Grammys as Gnarly, dressed in all-gold. He later claimed he wasn't at the Grammys, telling TMZ, "That's somebody else altogether, man," really committing to the bit. After releasing a second song about wanting to be with Beyoncé, Green apparently abandoned the Gnarly Davidson persona. Ariana Grande has a ton of tattoos, and it was no surprise when she got one as an homage to her song "7 Rings." She posted the tattoo — written in Japanese characters — online, and fans quickly pointed out her tattoo actually translated to a charcoal grill. Which is especially awkward considering Ari is vegan. In response to online mockery, she tweeted, 'Indeed, I left out 'つの指' which should have gone in between. It hurt like fuck n still looks tight. I wouldn't have lasted one more symbol lmao. But this spot also peels a ton and won't last so if I miss it enough I'll suffer thru the whole thing next time.' In another tweet, she wrote, 'Pls leave me and my tambourine grill alone. thank u.' She later had the tattoo "fixed," though it still didn't correctly translate to "7 Rings." And finally, this one's more straight-up embarrassing than cringe (and I truly feel for Fergie here), but I feel like too many of us have forgotten the moment Fergie peed her pants onstage in 2005. Fans snapped a photo, and it quickly circulated online. She later explained, "We were late for stage, driving down the freeway, it's Friday traffic ... get to the stage, we have to start right [into] the show. I'm running on and we jump and do 'Let's Get It Started', and I get crazy and I jump and I run across the stage and my adrenaline was going and gosh, I wish it didn't happen. It was so embarrassing!"
