Post Malone will headline Coachella 2025, Rolling Stone can confirm.

The musician, who announced his Big Ass Stadium Tour on Tuesday, will kick off his performance run with headlining slots at the festival on Sundays, April 13 and 20. The performances will mark his return to the desert after headlining Stagecoach earlier this year.

Leslie Fram, CMT’s senior VP of music strategy and talent for some 13 years, penned a farewell letter to the staff that she posted on social media Tuesday, just days after the channel was gutted by the network-wide layoffs at its parent company Paramount Global.

Fram is a longtime major player in the country-music community who oversaw the channel’s music programming overs on all verticals as well as the CMT Music Awards and franchises like CMT Storytellers, Giants and Crossroads, among other responsibilities. Yet her stature in Nashville reaches far beyond the channel, as is evident in her farewell letter:

“Among my proudest achievements has been our decade+ support of women with CMT’s ‘Next Women of Country,’ a program that has helped promote and elevate over 100 female artists on all platforms, and our efforts to move the format forward in areas of inclusion and diversity,” she writes. She...

Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion is finally here. On Friday, the “I Had Some Help” star officially released his country-foraying album after months of CMA Fest performances, chart-topping collabs, and a Stagecoach-headlining set.

The 18-track album is jam-packed with collaborations alongside new voices and veteran country stars. The album opens with “Wrong Ones” with Tim McGraw, and hears Malone tap Dolly Parton for “Have the Heart,” Brad Paisley for “Goes Without Saying,” Lainey Wilson for “Nosedive,” and Jelly Roll for “Losers.” Chris Stapleton, Hardy, Ernest, and Billy Strings are also included on the record.

Throughout its 33 Seasons, DWTS has gone through a few different hosting changes.

Tom Bergeron was the longest-running host on the show, starting from its inception in 2005 until Season 28. Fans remember how he infamously parted ways with the program just ahead of Season 29.

But now, one of the former hosts is facing an incredibly frightening cancer battle. She bravely opened up about her journey on social media and asked fans to be with her during this trying time.

Read on to learn more and see what’s going on.

According to an image originally listed on Target’s website, and captured by fans on X, Malone will feature country icons such as Chris Stapleton, Dolly Parton, and Brad Paisley on his upcoming LP.

Following up a chart-topping country song with another country banger? Post Malone found the guy for that: Luke Combs. On Friday, the duo released “Guy For That,” Malone’s follow-up to his Morgan Wallen-featuring hit, “I Had Some Help.”

“I’m damn near down to my last dime/I’m pretty good at breakin’ down a heart/But pickin’ up the pieces is the hard part,” sings Malone in the chorus. “She’s searchin’ for someone who’s gonna build it back/But I ain’t got a guy for that.

Post Malone took the stage at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works on Tuesday night for an intimate performance dubbed “A Night in Nashville.” Presented by Bud Light, the evening showcased several songs off Malone’s forthcoming LP, F-1 Trillion, and he was joined by Blake Shelton, Hardy, Joe Nichols, and Sierra Ferrell.

Shelton showed up to duet with Malone on the country-rocker “Pour Me a Drink,” the musicians’ recent single that arrived in June. Shelton’s wife Gwen Stefani was in the audience for the show, posting several videos of...

Post Malone is set to hit the road this fall in support of his first country album, F-1 Trillion.

The run also includes a previously announced headlining set at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City on Sept. 28.

Tickets for the tour will go on sale July 1 at 10 a.m. local time via Live Nation.

Post Malone and Blake Shelton have finally sidled up to the bar with the official release of their long-teased collaboration, “Pour Me a Drink.”

The track is a classic country rocker, with Posty and Shelton trading verses about soothing life’s woes — and perhaps finding your next great love — with the help of a full glass. (Expect Malone to perform it live when he delivers a free, Bud Light-sponsored concert, “A Night in Nashville,” on July 16.)

Malone first teased the song on Instagram a couple weeks ago, and earlier this month,...

Post Malone’s album is coming — and it has a name and release date. On Tuesday, the musician shared a photo of a billboard revealing that the name of his sixth album is F-1 Trillion, and it drops on Aug. 16.

“Sup motherfuckas…F-1 Trillion August 16th,” wrote Posty on Instagram alongside a photo of a billboard with the LP title. “The name of the new Post Malone Album is,” read the signage before a logo with the racecar-themed album title.

Post Malone and Blake Shelton made the rounds at CMA Fest in Nashville last night to deliver not one, but two performances of their still-unreleased collaboration, tentatively titled “Pour Me a Drink.”

Newly single Beverly Hills, 90210 star Tori Spelling said she wished she was pregnant with a sixth baby. Spelling, 50, shares five children with her ex-husband Dean McDermott. The couple separated in June 2023 and divorced in 2024.

On her misSPELLING podcast, Spelling shared that she wanted to be pregnant after guest Sara Evans said she “would love to be pregnant again.” Spelling then said she “should have” frozen her eggs after claiming she was still fertile at the start of the podcast. Spelling is currently going through menopause.

Since separating from McDermott, Spelling has moved from her home after a mold infestation to RVs with her five children. She moved back to a rental home but was forced to move after her neighbor was involved in an armed standoff with police involving an Ar-15.

In April, Spelling revealed classmates bullied her 15-year-old daughter Stella for being “homeless.” Despite their living conditions, Spelling’s brother,...

Post Malone kickstarts his country era with new single “I Had Some Help.” He debuted the song, which features Morgan Wallen, live at Stagecoach last month.

Post Malone and Wallen’s inevitable summer hit is a big country-pop tune, in the vein of many of Wallen’s own singles. The song is about a relationship falling apart and knowing that it wasn’t just one person’s fault. “It ain’t like I can make this kinda mess all by myself,” they sing on the chorus. “Don’t act like...

Controversies come and go on Dancing With The Stars. But former pro dancer Cheryl Burke no longer feels like she’s part of the DWTS family.

After leaving the show, Cheryl went on to launch her own podcast, Sex, Lies, & Spray Tans where she discusses backstage drama. More than likely, that hasn’t gone over well with executives at DWTS.

Apparently “The Rumble” is coming to “The Masked Singer” this season. Fox is taking the wraps off of the latest edition of the hit reality competition series, teasing the landmark 10th season with a first promo tonight — as well as a look at the first round of costumes. Variety has an exclusive look, above, of the Donut and the Hawk. And scroll down to watch the promo, which premieres tonight on Fox, featuring the Skrillex song “Rumble.”

“The Masked Singer” returns for Season 10 beginning Wednesday, Sept. 27 at 8 p.m. Et. “In honor of its milestone 10th season, The Masked Singer is celebrating with the biggest and boldest costumes in the show’s history – with the buzziest and brightest celebrities underneath!” Fox’s latest “The Masked Singer” promo exclaims. “The Emmy Award-nominated singing competition features host Nick Cannon, alongside fan favorite panelists Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke.

After being saved by the “Ding Dong Keep It On” bell on “New York Night,” Medusa was on a mission to prove she deserved her spot in Wednesday night’s “The Masked Singer” finale. She clawed her way back into the competition, taking out Gargoyle and Mantis in the “Battle of the Saved.” Next, the snake-headed songstress belted her way through the “Quarter Finals (British Invasion Night)” and sent home California Roll in the “Semi-Finals,” the quintet that originally defeated her.

With just Macaw standing between Medusa and the Golden Mask trophy, she wowed panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger with performances of “Elastic Heart” by Sia and “Welcome to the Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance. She said after the latter, “This means so much to me, and, the fact that I got to end my journey with my sister’s favorite song, and,...

It was déjà vu for David Archuleta on Wednesday night’s finale of “The Masked Singer.” The 32-year old performer who had been masquerading as Macaw all season finished in second place to Medusa, the same position he landed on Season 7 of “American Idol” when he lost to David Cook. His emotional journey of self-discovery ended with performances of “Hold Back the River” by James Bay and “All By Myself” by Eric Carmen. Panelists Nicole Scherzinger and Ken Jeong correctly guessed the musician’s identity, but Robin Thicke and Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg were off the mark.

“We knew we were coming on this, going out of our comfort zone and doing something different,” David told host Nick Cannon during his unmasked interview. “I didn’t know it was going to be so much fun. It’s just been healing being able to be the Macaw.”

Ken got emotional, stating, “When...

Briggs, who performed the most of any contestant this season, sealed her victory with performances of “Elastic Heart,” by Sia, and “Welcome to the Black Parade,” by My Chemical Romance. Although Briggs said singing under the Medusa costume was a challenge, she pointed out that it was nothing compared to what she did last year.

“When I was on the show, I was six months postpartum,” she said. “My most recent memory was performing at Coachella while pregnant,...
