Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez's Wedding Plans Are Slow-Moving: ‘We Both Need to Chill'
Earlier this year, Blanco and Gomez released their collaborative album I Said I Love You First, which required an entire promotional cycle that pulled them away from planning. 'We got engaged and then we were filming music videos for our album, then it's holidays, then right after the holidays we had to start all the promo for our stuff,' Blanco said. 'Then she left to film her show, Only Murders. Then I met her, we hung out for a week, and right after that, it's promo. Then I had to write a book, and she came back for one day here, and then it was my birthday.'

When the couple does get a chance to slow down, their mind doesn't immediately drift to color palettes, flower arrangements, and venue options. 'I just want to lay in bed and forget what day it is. We've been in bed just watching stuff,' Blanco said. It's not how he usually unwinds, he added, 'but with Selena, I can do it all day. She makes me want to hang out and cuddle, just watch things, just eat food, and have piles of food around us and have the best time ever.'
When the wedding does come together, Blanco imagines it won't be too far removed from that feeling of tranquility. 'I think it will be chill,' he said.
Earlier this year, Blanco told Rolling Stone that Gomez has 'planned a new wedding in her head' every day since they got engaged. 'We're very much 'take it one day at a time'-type of people. We're still not over this moment. Literally, while you were talking, she was sitting there staring at her ring,' he said. Gomez added: 'Also, I genuinely feel like this is such a special time that we get to apply it to this album and really just pour our heart into it, and completely translate what we feel and bring it to the world. That's my main focus right now, at least.'

Trisha Paytas Pushes Back on Reincarnation Conspiracies: ‘My Baby Is Just a Baby'
Trisha Paytas probably feels like a passenger on Ozzy Osbourne's 'Crazy Train' as the internet continues to push conspiracies that her newborn baby, Aquaman, is the musician reincarnated. 'My baby is just a baby y'all,' the social media figure captioned a TikTok post where she played the song with the aside, 'What plays in my head 12 days postpartum and the internet won't stop with the reincarnation conspiracies.' Paytas gave birth on July 12, but didn't make the grand reveal online until July 22. Within hours of her announcement, news broke that Osbourne had died at the age of 76. Suddenly, there was a collective sense of déjà vu. As her comment section filled with people joking 'Welcome back, Ozzy,' it called to mind the fervor around her daughter Malibu, who was born the same day that Queen Elizabeth II died in 2022. The reincarnation jokes had reincarnated themselves.

'The fact that my pregnancy got ruined by trolling — now, I guess, it's kind of funny and karmatic. But it just made me so upset.' In a follow-up TikTok, Paytas added: 'I know reincarnation theories about my babies are just a meme, it's just what the internet does, but I'm not gonna lie — being 12 days postpartum sometimes make you feel a little cookoo. I'm like, wait, why does the internet keep wanting to put souls into my baby? First of all, reincarnation is only one soul into one baby, if you believe in that. Second of all, you guys, I don't know much about reincarnation, I just know that the soul has to be passed along.' She admits that the Queen Elizabeth II jokes were 'kind of funny,' though she found the Pope Francis theories (she was pregnant with Aquaman when he died) less comedic. But more than anything, she said, 'It makes me sad, it makes me feel like I did something wrong.' The Osbourne jokes are even more uncomfortable for her. 'Ozzy has real family, he is such an icon,' she said. 'It's more real. Ozzy's more real. There's real people involved and I don't know if they would love being tied to [him] being reincarnated. They just lost him. And then everyone else passing away, it's not my uterus doing it.'

Although the tour had been hinted as in support of previously-titled album, Lasso, Del Rey later announced that it would be renamed The Right Person Will Stay. After the singer said it would release May 21, she shared with fans earlier this year that the LP will not 'come on time' and would get another name change. Del Rey has since made her debut at the 2025 Stagecoach festival in Indio, California, (and made an appearance during Jelly Roll's headlining set for a rendition of 'Save Me') and released two songs, 'Henry, Come On' and 'Bluebird,' from her upcoming, untitled 10th album.

Latin Mafia, Omar Apollo Sing a Melancholic Cumbia on ‘Hecho Para Ti'
Omar Apollo's short-lived El Buki hair finally served a purpose. On Thursday, Latin Mafia released their flowy, sad boy cumbia 'Hecho Para Ti,' featuring vocals from Apollo, as they channeled the late Eighties and early Nineties in their video. The video captures retro, VHS-style footage of the Mexican trio performing the sad song with Apollo in a nightclub straight from your tío's album of photos from his bailador days. The video plays like a pixelated home video as Latin Mafia and Apollo perform, accompanied by a cumbia band. The performance visual is spliced with close-ups of the members of the band. More from Rolling Stone Addison Rae Is Sombr's Sultry Obsession in '12 to 12' Video Katseye Enrolls at Monster High for Reimagined 'Fright Song' Conan Gray Gets His Heart Broken in 'Vodka Cranberry' Video 'What am I to you?/I'm too much for you/But I'm made for you,' Apollo sings en español. 'My love, my love… (Oh-oh)/It's not so far off/And it's not so complicated.' Apollo and Latin Mafia have been teasing the song for months, and Apollo even joined the group during a performance at Mexico City' Palacio de los Deportes during the band's tour back in May. Aside from a Colors Show rendition of 'Siento que merezco más,' this marks the band's first release since dropping their album Todos Los Días Todo el Día, which features tracks such as 'Nunca He Sido Honesto,' 'Me Estoy Cayendo,' and 'Yo Siempre Contesto.' 'For us, Latin Mafia has no genre. We want to expand upon the Mexa sound,' Emilio de la Rosa told Rolling Stone last year. 'This album is an excess of noise saturation in vocals and in production. Above all, it's our aspirations to create a different formula in the Mexa music industry.' For his part, Apollo joined Malcolm Todd for 'Bleed' in February, after releasing his LP, God Said No, last summer.
