Oops! These ‘Building the Band' Stars Just Accidentally Let Their Group Name Slip
Oops! These 'Building the Band' Stars Just Accidentally Let Their Group Name Slip originally appeared on Parade. #ICYMI, Building the Band is Netflix's newest competition show, creating boy bands, girl bands, and even mixed bands behind closed doors. According to Netflix, the one-of-a-kind competition series "follows a group of singers as they form six bands based solely on talent and chemistry." Hosted by Backstreet Boys member AJ McLean, "the participants take part in blind vocal performances" in phase one of the competition, where "the singers listening on will have to decide if they want to make a band, without first seeing the face behind the voice." "Once the six bands are locked in, the members will finally meet and compete under the watchful eye of a superstar panel of judges," including Pussycat Dolls member Nicole Scherzinger, Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland and late One Direction member Liam Payne. Can someone grab the tissues? Nevertheless, after the first four episodes hit the streaming service, five of the six bands were formed. One of the most notable, though, is band number two, an oh-so sexy boy band consisting of Shade Jenifer, Landon Boyce, Malik Heard and Bradley Rittmann. Meeting for the first time in episode three — where they performed 'Finesse' by Bruno Mars — band number two appears to blend seamlessly based on their first performance alone. 'They fit really well together,' Scherzinger herself said as they slayed the stage. Now, fans of the show are left with just one question — what will the bands, specifically band number two, be called? — and Shade might have just spilled the tea in a TikTok video. Keep scrolling to see for yourself... "POV: 1/2 OF COOKIES & CREAM," Shade wrote atop a TikTok video with Landon yesterday (July 14), seemingly teasing that band number two will be called Cookies & Cream. Needless to say, Building the Band fans clocked this right away, taking to the comment section of the video. "Cookies & Cream team I loveeeee the name 😭😭 I hope you can all win! The performance was amazing," one fan wrote, while another exclaimed, "Loving the Cookies & Cream thing!" A third commented, "Not me eating cookies & cream ice cream rn 😅 LFG!!! ❤️😎🌴" Landon himself even got a piece of all the action, writing "Yo Malik and Brad wya??" in the comment section of the video, shouting out the second half of his soon-to-be successful band. Talk about a team player! Nevertheless, will band number two — or should we say Cookies & Cream? — win the beloved competition series? To see for yourself, stream episodes one through four now via Netflix, and stream episodes five through seven when they hit the streaming service tomorrow (July 16).

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight at the American Century celebrity golf tournament over the weekend, Jason, 37, shared how he feels about his mom's new gig. 'She's so sweet and so kind,' he said of the 72-year-old. 'I feel like in that show, you have to be manipulative and cunning, and you've gotta be cutthroat. So I don't know, we'll see. I'm anxious to see how she did.' The Kelce brothers had just shared a clip on X of them debating if either of them would ever go on the Peacock series on their New Heights podcast. In the caption of the post, they joked that they were resurfacing an old conversation about The Traitors "for no reason whatsoever," with a smirk emoji, seemingly hinting at the announcement. On the June 19 episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, Jason's wife, Kylie Kelce, confirmed that she would be tuning in to watch Donna. 'I guess I'm gonna have to watch the next season of Traitors!' she gushed. 'That's right, Donna Kelce, my mother-in-law, is on this coming season of Traitors. Have I watched Traitors? Not a whole season. Am I excited to watch Donna? 1000% Imma cheer her on until the end of time.' 'I'm not gonna lie, though, her innocence and honesty is working against her … or for her,' Kylie noted, agreeing with her husband's concern. 'Oh, if she's a faithful, maybe it works for her. Oh! We're all on the edge of our seat. I'm excited. Come on, Donna, win it!'

Executive produced and hosted by actor Alan Cummings, The Traitors follows a group of celebrities split into 'Faithfuls' and 'Traitors' as they go head-to-head in a game of lies, deception and murder for a cash prize of up to $250,000. Many of the all-star contenders have a reality competition show past, including Natalie Anderson from Amazing Race, Rob Cesternino and Yamil "Yam Yam" Arocho from Survivor, Mark Ballas from Dancing with the Stars, Monét X Change from RuPaul's Drag Race and Kristen Kish from Top Chef. Others have less experience in that world, with a handful of Real Housewives stars entering the game: Candiace Dillard Bassett (Potomac), Lisa Rinna (Beverly Hills), Caroline Stanbury (Dubai) and Porsha Williams (Atlanta). Plus, The Real Housewives of New York City's Dorinda Medley, who competed in season 3 of The Traitors and was first to be eliminated, is set to make a return.
