Hailey Bieber sells makeup brand Rhode to Elf Beauty in $1 billion deal
Model Hailey Bieber's makeup and skincare brand, Rhode, is being snapped up by Elf Beauty for about $1 billion, giving the budget cosmetic retailer access to a celebrity-endorsed product line that has become hugely popular among Gen Z and millennials. Elf said on Wednesday it would pay Rhode shareholders $800 million in a combination of cash and stock and an additional potential earnout consideration of $200 million subject to certain performance-related conditions. Last month, Reuters reported that Bieber was exploring a sale of the brand, which could be worth more than $1 billion. For Elf, the deal would mark a shift in strategy and expand into the prestige beauty market as the company faces weak demand from mass market customers who are being pressured by persistent high inflation. 'The Rhode deal is a bold move for e.l.f. into premium beauty at a time when the prestige side of the industry has lost some of its momentum as a result of consumers buying less or trading down,' said Sky Canaves, eMarketer analyst. However, Rhode has bucked this trend, Canaves added, with a strong Gen Z following and significant buzz around its product launches, positioning it well for a strong expansion. Elf — short for eyes, lips and face — offers products priced as low as $2 at U.S. retailers including Walmart, Ulta Beauty and Target. Dior shows Maria Grazia Chiuri's cruise collection in Rome On the other hand, Rhode — which launched in 2022 and gained popularity with TikTok viral products such as its $18 'peptide lip treatments' — sells exclusively through its own website or pop-up stores, relying heavily on Hailey Bieber's social media influence. 'e.l.f. Beauty marks an incredible opportunity to elevate and accelerate our ability to reach more of our community with even more innovative products and widen our distribution globally,' Bieber said. The company raked in about $212 million in sales for the year ended March 31 and is planning to start selling at Sephora stores across the U.S. and Canada coming this fall, followed by the UK. 'Rhode further diversifies our portfolio with a fast-growing brand that makes the best of prestige accessible,' Elf CEO Tarang Amin said in a statement. Earlier this year, Elf's shares cratered 20% after the company cut its annual forecasts and warned of weakening demand. Elf's deal with Rhode would mark its biggest acquisition to date and follows its $355 million acquisition of skincare company Natrium in 2023. Bieber will continue her role as founder and will also act as a 'strategic advisor' after the deal closes. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Separately, Elf on Wednesday refrained from providing a fiscal 2026 forecast due to uncertainty surrounding import tariffs despite beating Wall Street expectations for fourth-quarter sales. The company, which sources about 75% of its products from China, down from 100% back in 2019, said last week it would raise prices by $1 to combat tariff pressure.

Sabrina Carpenter eyed for Mamma Mia 3 role as franchise plans film, Broadway return & potential TV series
Pop sensation and actress Sabrina Carpenter is being considered for a role in the upcoming third installment of the Mamma Mia! film franchise, according to producer Judy Craymer in an exclusive interview with Deadline's Baz Bamigboye. While Craymer declined to confirm specific casting, she hinted Carpenter could portray a 'goddess or some relation who would look very much like Meryl Streep.' The singer—who has publicly expressed her love for ABBA and has close ties with franchise star Amanda Seyfried—has frequently performed ABBA hits in concert, making her a natural fit for the beloved musical series. Craymer confirmed that the third film remains in active development, though casting is not yet finalized. 'It'll happen when it happens,' she stated, emphasizing that the new story will focus on character-driven engagement rather than rehashing past material. The Mamma Mia! universe is expanding beyond the silver screen. In addition to the film, Craymer hinted at broader plans for the franchise, including a potential television adaptation described as a 'comedy-drama made for TV.' Though still in the early concept stage, the idea underscores the enduring popularity and flexibility of the brand. Meanwhile, the original stage musical is set to return to Broadway this summer for a six-month engagement at the Winter Garden Theatre, beginning August 2, with an official opening night on August 14. The production, which originally opened in New York in 2001 and closed in 2015, has long been celebrated as a 'comfort blanket' during uncertain times. Carpenter's rising popularity among Gen Z audiences and the show's continued relevance position Mamma Mia! as a multigenerational phenomenon—now poised for a new chapter across film, stage, and possibly television.

Connie Francis reacts to TikTok's revival of ‘Pretty Little Baby': 'What's That?'
Connie Francis' 1961 hit 'Pretty Little Baby' has experienced a surprising resurgence thanks to TikTok, where the song recently went viral among Gen Z users. The renewed popularity of the nostalgic track has given the legendary singer a new wave of recognition—decades after its original release. The song gained traction after TikTok creators began featuring it in slow-motion videos and nostalgic edits. As TikTok continues to revive classic tunes for a younger audience, 'Pretty Little Baby' found itself back in the spotlight, with Spotify streams increasing and playlists getting a vintage update. When informed about the song's viral success, Francis responded with humor and surprise. In a Facebook post, she re-shared a Billboard article about the TikTok trend, originally posted by Ron Roberts, who had called to tell her the news. Her initial reaction, she admitted, was simply, 'What's that?'—a charmingly candid response from a star of the vinyl era unacquainted with today's viral terminology. Francis expressed her appreciation for the renewed interest in her work, calling the TikTok popularity 'so unexpected' and extending her thanks to both Ron Roberts and the TikTok community. 'Thank you, everyone!' she wrote in her post. While Francis welcomed the unexpected fame, the trend sparked contrasting views elsewhere in the music industry. In a recent Variety interview, rapper Rico Nasty criticized record labels for pressuring artists to prioritize TikTok engagement, saying, 'You did not sign me to do social media.' The revival of 'Pretty Little Baby' highlights the potential of digital platforms to breathe new life into classic music. Yet, it also underscores the ongoing debate about the role of social media in an artist's career—between organic discovery and industry-driven promotion.
