RIHANNA IS EVERYWHERE — AND FENTY BEAUTY IS JUST GETTING STARTED
Rihanna didn’t just visit India — she shifted the culture. From stepping out in Indian couture in Mumbai to dining with the Ambani family, she turned a beauty launch into a global moment.
Fenty Beauty has officially landed in India through an exclusive partnership with Reliance Retail — now available in Sephora India stores, on Tira Beauty, and across 50+ locations in 16 cities.
And that’s just the beginning.
Fenty Hair is expanding for every texture. Space NK has welcomed her full lineup. And her 2026 sustainability roadmap — Beauty With Purpose: 2026 Forward — promises carbon-neutral manufacturing, 80+ foundation shades, and 100% recyclable packaging.
Rihanna called the trip “one of the most unforgettable and heartwarming experiences” of her life.
The industry? Still catching up.

“Y’ALL GONE STOP PLAYING WITH ME.” — DEIONDRA SANDERS IS DONE
Deiondra Sanders vs. Jacquees just went fully public — and messy.
After Jacquees posted (then deleted) tweets about fathers being kept from their children, Deiondra responded with receipts: videos of him spending time with their son, Snow, including swim lessons.
Jacquees fired back via The Shade Room, claiming she threatened holiday access and blocked his music from their child. She called it all a lie — and says she has more proof ready.
A private co-parenting situation is now a public timeline. And the real question remains: why does it keep playing out online?
IS BEYONCÉ ABOUT TO BREAK THE INTERNET — AGAIN?
Beyoncé posted one cryptic carousel — and the internet spiraled.
After watching Bad Bunny’s historic Super Bowl performance, she dropped images of a wired phone, a burger, a football — and both American and Puerto Rican flags.
Fans immediately connected the dots. But then came the deeper theory: the phone imagery may reference her unfinished 2010 collab “Telephone” with Lady Gaga — a storyline that famously ended with “To be continued…”
Could Act III deliver a Beyoncé x Gaga x Bad Bunny crossover?
No confirmation. No denial.
Which usually means… it’s already done.
DAD SAID WHAT?? MOROCCAN CANNON SPEAKS
Nick Cannon admitted it himself: a double standard.
On TMZ, he said he encourages his son Moroccan to date — but his daughter Monroe? “Absolutely not.”
Enter Moroccan, who saw the clip on The Shade Room and responded with two words:
“Ay bruh” 😭
Internet: won.
With Mariah Carey as his mom, Nick joked Moroccan doesn’t need dating money anyway. Meanwhile, Monroe reportedly already tells her dad everything — meaning she’s probably more prepared than he is.
Messy. Funny. A little too real.
VIOLA DAVIS SETS HER TERMS — AND HOLLYWOOD BETTER LISTEN
Viola Davis is done compromising.
The EGOT winner revealed her new rule for filming intimate scenes:
“I just want to be on a bed and I don’t want to move.”
Reflecting on How to Get Away with Murder, she described the chaos of filming with Billy Brown — full crews adjusting everything while she waited.
“It’s a nightmare.”
From groundbreaking moments like Widows with Liam Neeson to her new Amazon thriller Ally Clark, Davis is choosing control, comfort, and intention.
And that’s what evolution looks like.
