Sydney Colson, Chiney and Nneka Ogwumike, and All-Star Game Mvp Arike Ogunbowale were among the women’s basketball stars who took over North Italia in Phoenix Saturday for the closing night of WNBA All-Star Weekend.

Sponsored by Fenty Beauty, Gran Coramino and Modernblkgirl’s Mbg 360, the “Ladies Night” event also brought out college basketball stars Paige Bueckers and Flau’jae Johnson (who performed under her rapper name Flau’Jae), plus Outer Banks star Madison Bailey.

One of the most exciting categories this year at the Grammys is Best Melodic Rap Performance, where there’s one glaring omission: Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice’s “Barbie World.” The big hit from “Barbie” was relegated to Best Rap Song, showing a lack of enthusiasm from voters (who likely voted for it in the songwriting category due to its high alphabetical placement on the ballot). But the song’s miss ended up making the category way more interesting with a couple of hits now duking it out for the win. With big names in the category such as Drake and Sza, let’s consider who will ultimately be crowned the winner come February 4.

Let’s start with the song that has the least chance of a win: Burna Boy and 21 Savage’s “Sittin’ on Top of the World.” While the track was a big hit for Burna, it...

Scroll down for our official odds in 14 top categories. Those odds were calculated by combining the predictions of Gold Derby users who have placed their bets here in our predictions center. Our projected winners are highlighted in gold.

We’re predicting four victories for Taylor Swift out of the five of her categories that we’re predicting. Among those, we’re betting on her for Video of the Year for “Anti-Hero,” which would be her fourth win in the category, extending her all-time record. She’s also favored for Artist of the Year, Best Pop and Best Direction.

Updated, 8 Am: Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have joined the performer lineup at the 2023 VMAs. The two will reunite for a debut performance of their just-released single “Bongos” during the ceremony which will air live from New Jersey’s Prudential Center on Tuesday, September 12th at 8Pm Et/Pt.

In 2021, the duo were five-time VMA nominees for their hit single “Wap” including Song of the Summer, Video of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Collaboration and Best Hip Hop.

Quavo stopped by Toosii’s concert in Atlanta last night to join the rapper for a rendition of “Hotel Lobby.” The sold-out show, at Atlanta’s The Tabernacle, also featured special guests Rob49, Jacquees, and Hunxho.

“Hotel Lobby” comes off Quavo and Takeoff’s 2022 LP Only Built for Infinity Links. When the track was released last May, the pair’s Migos bandmate Offset was notably absent. Due to Takeoff’s murder last year, Quavo hasn’t had many opportunities to perform the song live, making last night’s rendition especially poignant.

The nominees for the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards were announced on August 8, and they’re led by Taylor Swift with eight bids, followed by Sza with six, and many others with five apiece including Sam Smith and Kim Petras, Doja Cat, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo, and Nicki Minaj.

Juneteenth, which falls on June 19, commemorates the fall of slavery in the United States.

It celebrates the anniversary of the order made by Major General Gordon Granger on June 1965 that proclaimed freedom for slaves in Texas. The order was actually made two years after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

In a tweet Monday, former President Obama explained it as the “delayed but welcome news of freedom reaching the enslaved Black folks in Galveston, Texas.” In 2021, President Biden made Juneteenth a federal holiday.

Many networks are marking the occasion with Juneteenth TV specials or movie marathons showcasing Black talent and/or excellence. See our viewing guide below:
