Billboard Buys: These Apple AirPods Alternatives Are Just $35
Audio-wise, we’ve tested the Tempo 30 earbuds against our AirPods Pro, and they’re surprisingly powerful, with full, wide-ranging sound and clear, crisp details (no muffled tracks here). The audio is plenty loud too, and if you really want to turn it up, you can switch from Back Bay’s “Signature Sound” mode to their new “Bass Mode” for extra motivation. We found the Tempo 30 Earbuds great for taking calls on the go too, thanks to their dual microphones. And with six(!) different fit options, it was easy to find a pair of eartips that stayed securely in our ears. Even while going on a run or hitting the treadmill at the gym, our Tempo 30 Earbuds stayed in our ears comfortably. Back Bay Audio’s Tempo 30 Earbuds are one of the best AirPod altern...
Justin Bieber Launches Fundraiser For Haiti to Provide Support After Earthquake
Beliebers can also gain access to exclusive merch if they donate to the fundraiser, with proceeds benefitting Project Medishare, which has been empowering Haitians and working to improve the quality of their lives since 1994. Haiti is still recovering from a 5.9 magnitude earthquake in 2018 that killed more than a dozen people, and a 7.1 quake in 2010 that damaged the impoverished country’s capital and killed an estimated 300,000 people, according to the Associated Press. The country is also in the midst of a political crisis following July’s assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. Bieber previously participated in the all-star re-recording of the charity single “We Are the World,” which honored the original Michael Jackson- and Lionel Richie-p...

Jay-Z Joined by Megan Thee Stallion, Swizz Beatz & More at 40/40 Club’s Anniversary Celebration
Swizz Beatz, fellow hip-hop staple and longtime close friend of Jay, arrived dressed for the occasion in a velvet suit. But before the red carpet photographers could fully snap their shots of his ensemble, the man of the hour Jay-Z arrived right behind Swizz with perfect timing and swiftly joined him on the carpet. Hov graciously thanked everyone for coming before smoothly walking into his club with Swizz, ready for the celebration to begin. Even if someone hasn’t been to 40/40, it is nearly impossible to not know of its allure in the music world, thanks to the surplus of references sprinkled throughout verses from Jay himself as well as plenty of other artists. For Benny the Butcher, this was exactly the case as he stepped into 40/40 physically for the first time last night but had ...

Breaking Bud: GRiZ Launches Line of Custom Cannabis Strains
A friend with weed is a friend indeed, and GRiZ is taking his best buds national with the launch of two premium cannabis lines. Let’s be blunt: the strain of the pandemic is brutal for many. And if GRiZ’s last album somehow didn’t toke your breath away (sorry, can’t help these puns), his new custom weed will. GRiZ has announced the sale of two brands: the THC-focused Astro Hippie and the CBD line Telescope. The former, an homage to DIY stoner culture that will soon debut in GRiZ’s home state of Michigan, is described as a potent series of flower strains designed for “experimenters” who want to blast off. Many believe weed is a love language, and Astro Hippie, GRiZ says, is a billet-doux to the cannabis c...
Travis Scott Surprised His Daughter Stormi With a School Bus & The Internet Went to Town About It
The wheels on the bus go ’round and ’round, and Travis Scott made sure his 3-year-old daughter Stormi experienced that feeling with a big, yellow surprise. On Tuesday, Kylie Jenner shared pictures of their daughter touching the outside of a yellow school bus and exploring its burgundy upholstered interior while writing, “All Stormi has been talking about is riding a big yellow bus. Daddy surprised her.” While Stormi didn’t have any of her cousins or other kids to play with inside, the Internet shared enough thoughts on the subject to fill up the entire bus. Plenty thought it was “completely out of touch” for Jenner, a billionaire makeup and skincare mogul, and Scott, who has lucrative franchises ranging from McDonald’s to Nike to PlayStation,...
Britney Spears Thanks Boyfriend Sam Asghari for His Support Through the ‘Hardest Years of My Life’
Britney Spears might be going through “the hardest years” of her life, but it sounds like she has a pretty good partner to lean on. On Wednesday (Aug. 25), Spears took to Instagram to praise her boyfriend of five years Sam Asghari — while also jokingly calling him a “cute a–hole.” “Not only has this cute a–hole been with me through the hardest years of my life but he happens to be an extremely good cook!” she wrote in the caption. “Fast & Furious franchise, don’t miss out on your next star!!!!” Asghari was in on the joke, responding in the comments with a cry-laughing emoji: “Yes … F that a–hole.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.
