Ciara Celebrates Mother’s Day by Revisiting ‘I Got You,’ Featuring Baby Future
“I Got You” comes from Ciara’s sixth studio album Jackie, which is named after her mother Jackie Harris. The singer honored her mother on her birthday Wednesday with pictures of the two over the years. “HBD Mamma! I love you,” she wrote on her Instagram Story, adding on the next slide, “Grateful for you.” As much as the album is a tribute to her own mother, the 35-year-old singer knows firsthand what it’s like to feel “a mother’s love” for her own children. “[It’s] just a really special song to me, and a timeless song for me, will forever have great meaning for me, because again, it’s the feeling that I think we have as a mother’s love.

What do Marshmello, Christina Aguilera, Kendall Jenner, and Paris Hilton have in common?

Joe Jonas Is Lending a Hand (Or 250) To Americans Anxious to Travel Again
In an interview with CBS This Morning, Jonas explained why his collaboration with Expedia comes at a time when he’s “ready to get back on the road” and tour again with his brothers, but others might feel scared to safely travel again. He also mused about his expanding family after he and wife Sophie Turner welcomed their daughter Willa last summer. “I’m always on the go, I’m always moving and traveling and touring, and to be in one place for a solid amount of time and just have my feet on the ground and be with my family, my immediate family, is time I don’t think I’ll get back. So I’m so thankful and grateful,” Jonas said. He later delved into the mental health foundation he and Turner are developing that...

PureGym Analyzes Workout and Gym Playlists to Identify Top 50 Workout Tracks
New research from the UK-based company PureGym has aggregated Spotify playlist data and determined the most popular songs to soundtrack a workout. The company analyzed 142,000 unique tracks populating playlists with either “gym” or “workout” included in the title and published a list of the top 50 recurring tracks.

Here Are the Best 2021 *NSYNC ‘It’s Gonna Be May’ Memes
But the internet flips back to this beloved meme every April 30, the last day before May. His former *NSYNC bandmate Lance Bass kicked things off this year with a TikTok dance challenge (also for International Dance Day on Thursday). Videos of JC Chasez singing “It’s gonna be May” into the microphone during *NSYNC’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2018 are also a popular option this time of year. But forget JT’s ramen-noodle hair, because Kraft Macaroni and Cheese crafted Timberlake’s popular 2000s hairstyle with their own pasta. And one TikTok user showed a video of their custom flipbook (which took more than 40 hours to create) that pays homage to the original music video and spells out “It’s Gonna Be May” in it...
Daft Punk-Inspired Watch Collection Unveiled by Director of Chanel’s Watchmaking Creation Studio
Over two decades of some of electronic music’s most memorable songs and live performances have come courtesy of the legendary duo Daft Punk, who announced their shocking split in early 2021. The iconic robots inspired many musicians in their craft, but their influence spreads far beyond music and into different facets of art and culture. One such instance of that inspiration came to Arnaud Chastaingt, director of Chanel’s Watchmaking Creation Studio, who channeled the storied career of Daft Punk for his latest collection, Chanel Electro. A bit of a maverick force at Chanel, Chastaingt sought to give the J12’s 20th anniversary collection quite the makeover. The Daft Punk-inspired J12 Chanel Electro watch in black.
