Being married to Ryan Reynolds? Being a famous actress? Being BFFs with Taylor Swift and having her mention your children in her songs? For Blake Lively, all that paled in comparison to meeting her childhood boy band crush Monday.

Members of *NSYNC attended the New York City premiere of Reynolds' new film, Deadpool & Wolverine, on Monday because their song "Bye Bye Bye" is on the soundtrack. Lance Bass posted a photo from the premiere showing Blake and Ryan posing with him, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick — Justin Timberlake didn't attend.

Blake wrote in the comments, "Can confirm (if my face doesn’t) this was the single happiest most complete moment of my life." Seemingly referring to the fact that Justin wasn't there, she offered to sub for him, writing, "I’ll shave my hair off and perm it bleach blonde. It’s fine. I can scrub in. I’m ready. This just feels right."

"I have all the bleach you need!" Lance replied. "You’re in!"

Lively reposted the photo on her Instagram Story and wrote, "No one will ever know what this moment meant to me. No. One. Ever. I am living in a simulation. My face knows it. Happiest human ever."

She then thanked *NSYNC, and shouted out Reynolds for "being the most romantic person on the planet and making all of my dreams come true," adding, "10 year old, and also 36 year old me is sobbing."

Lisa isn't just a "Rockstar" — the BLACKPINK member is now a fashion star, too.

The singer has been named a House Ambassador for Louis Vuitton, after attending the label's Fall-Winter 2024 show in Paris. "I feel so honored to be working with a such great brand that I admire," she says in a statement. "So I'm really looking forward to making greater moments with Louis Vuitton."

She says she admires the label's "originality" and its "iconic monogram," adding, "I aim to be someone who can maintain originality."

Nicolas Ghesquière, Louis Vuitton's artistic director of women’s collections, said in a statement, "I am very excited to welcome Lisa as a House Ambassador. She has a daring spirit and charisma that I find incredibly compelling."

He added, "She is as bold and creative with her music as she is with her fashion, and it is a privilege to accompany her on this journey.”

BLACKPINK will reunite in 2025 for new music and a tour.

After announcing a one-off stadium show in São Paulo, Brazil, The Weeknd has dropped a video teasing new music, which appears to be the final installment of a musical trilogy that started with his 2020 album, After Hours.

He captioned the video, "There are three chapters in this tale." In the video, we see his red-suited character from After Hours rolling dice and driving a car. We then see his "Old Man Weeknd" character and his younger, black leather-wearing character who were part of his 2022 release Dawn FM.

That's followed by a shot of a figure wearing a mask, then a bunch of creepy white human statues all reaching out to an unreal-looking little boy, sitting cross-legged with his eyes down. As a spotlight hits him, grass and flowers grow around him, and we again seen the words "There are three chapters in this tale."

Fans believe that it's all leading to a project called Rebirth. The Weeknd recently seemed to hint at that theme by posting on Instagram, "The present humanity is frail, deteriorating and weak, but to share eternal life the bodies must be transformed." That was followed by an emoji of the Brazilian flag.

Stay tuned.

It's been four months since Ariana Grande kicked off the Pop Girlie Takeover of 2024 with her album endless sunshine, and she's looking back in gratitude.

On Instagram, Ari posted a montage of moments from the making and promotion of the album, including scenes from the photo shoot, clips from videos, some of the TV performances she's done, shots of Ari singing in the studio and producing her vocals, and scenes of her working with collaborators including super producer Max Martin.

"wanted to share a few more of my favorite eternal sunshine studio memories. these make me so happy," Ariana captioned the montage. "i cannot believe how much has happened already or that it has already been (and only been) four months. so grateful for all of the beautiful eternal sunshine memories so far and for all that is to come! love you all so."

So far, eternal sunshine, which debuted at #1, has earned critical acclaim and produced the hits "yes, and?," "we can't be friends (wait for your love)" and "the boy is mine."  She's also released remixes featuring Mariah Carey, Troye Sivan and Brandy and Monica.

Teddy Swims would like to thank the academy, because The Recording Academy — the folks who hand out the Grammys — has invited him to join as a voting member.  If he accepts, he'll have the power to help decide who will win Grammys in the future. He says in a statement, "I am truly humbled to be invited into the Recording Academy. It is an honor to be a part of something that so many of my heroes have belonged to."

A new wax figure of Lady Gaga has been unveiled at Madame Tussauds Orlando. The figure's look is inspired by what Gaga wore to the BAFTA Awards in 2022: She's rocking an emerald green velvet dress, silver and emerald jewelry and platform boots, and she's holding up her hands in her signature "paws up" gesture. Unlike figures of other pop stars, fans in the comments agree that the figure is an extremely realistic portrayal of Mother Monster.

Taylor Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, can confirm: her fans are a bit more enthusiastic than his fans. At least, that's what he said on the new episode of his New Heights podcast. Discussing Taylor's recent shows at London's Wembley Stadium, Travis said, "I remember 2015, playing [the Detroit Lions] in front of 80,000 in Wembley Stadium, and then seeing Tay up there going crazy ... they get a lot louder for Taylor than they do for American football!”

"My deepest and sincerest thank you to Brandy and Monica, not only for joining me for this moment, but for your generosity, your kindness, and for the countless ways in which you have inspired me. it is near impossible to say how much this means to me."

“this is in celebration of you both and the impact that you have had on every vocalist, vocal producer, musician, artist that is creating today," she continued. "I loooooove you both so so much. thank you !!!!!!!"

With all three women on the song, who will the boy belong to?
