Jonas Brothers already have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but now they'll be leaving behind more than just their names on Hollywood Boulevard.

The brothers will commemorate their 20th anniversary on Dec. 3 with a handprint and footprint ceremony outside the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre. Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas will all put their hands and feet in cement in front of the theater, where stars have been leaving their mark since 1927.

By Dec. 3 the JoBros will be heading into the home stretch of their Greetings From Your Hometown tour, which is set to wrap Dec. 22 in Brooklyn, New York. The ceremony will come a few weeks after the premiere of A Very Jonas Christmas Movie, which begins streaming on Disney+ Nov. 14.

Katy Perry seems to have a sense of humor about her alleged romance with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. After photos of Katy and Justin kissing on a yacht became public, the Instagram account of the satirical news site The Onion published a headline reading, "Katy Perry releases new single about the superiority of Canadian manufacturing." Katy was among the 22,000 people who liked the post.

Deadline reports that Camila Cabello has joined the cast of Cut Off, an upcoming comedy directed by and starring Jonah Hill. Hill and Kristen Wiig will play a rich brother and sister whose parents, played by Nathan Lane and Bette Midler, cut them off. The film is due out next July; it's not clear which role Camila will play.

Lewis Capaldi switched things up by covering a Paramore song for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, turning their upbeat 2013 hit "Still into You" into a mournful, acoustic cover with a keyboard, horns and strings. One listener quipped in the comments, "Great, now I can listen to Paramore when I am sad."

Move over, HUNTR/X. BLACKPINK is the first all-female K-pop group to have all its members chart a solo hit on the Hot 100, now that JISOO's duet with ZAYN, "Eyes Closed," has entered the Hot 100 at #72. She joins ROSÉ, LISA and JENNIE, all of whom previously scored one or more solo hits earlier this year. 

Madison Beer tapped a cast member from The Summer I Turned Pretty as the costar in her new video for "Bittersweet." Sean Kaufman, who plays Belly's brother Steven Conklin in the hit show, is Madison's former love interest in the new clip.

After Miley Cyrus and Beyoncé teamed up to record their song "II Most Wanted," they won the Grammy for best country duo/group performance. But Miley says their friendship has provided her with another piece of hardware that comes in handy anytime someone tries to criticize her.

Speaking to Vogue France, Miley said, "Beyoncé is, hands down, the best, period. She gave me a bracelet that I never take off, and believe me, I know how to use it when necessary." 

Miley goes on to explain that the bracelet is a good distraction if she ever finds herself in trouble. As she notes, "If someone tells me that I was wrong, or that I messed this or that up, I tell them, 'Well, you know what? It's no big deal. Look! Beyoncé gave me this bracelet!'"

Elsewhere in the interview, Miley tells Vogue France that she doesn't want to tour anymore, but that doesn't mean she no longer wants to sing for people. Instead, she wants to do it in a different way. She says performing at the iconic Paris club Maxim's last summer taught her that what she really wants is to "sing in beautiful places I’ve always wanted to visit, places that give the audience not just a show, but also a sense of history and beauty."

"It’s really hard to recreate the feeling of those intimate venues in packed stadiums," she notes. "Performing is great, but I want to enjoy the moment too! That’s why the setting matters so much to me.”

In September, Mariah Carey won the MTV Video Vanguard Award. Now she's set to receive another prestigious honor in January.

Two nights before the Grammy Awards, Mariah will be honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year at a gala benefit and tribute concert at the LA Convention Center Jan. 30. The award is given out every year by MusiCares, the charitable arm of the Recording Academy, to honor artists for their career achievements and their philanthropy.

"I’m so honored to be named the 2026 @musicares Person of the Year," Mariah wrote on Instagram. "Grateful to be celebrated through this special #GRAMMY Week event, raising vital funds to support the music community year-round."

Not only has Mariah had a record-breaking music career, but as MusiCares Executive Director Theresa Wolters notes, she has "used her platform consistently to provide tangible support to communities, whether through disaster relief, youth empowerment, or programs that help those facing barriers to opportunity."

Specifically, Mariah has partnered with the Fresh Air Fund to launch Camp Mariah, which supports underserved youth. She's also "championed initiatives advancing health, education and social welfare," including providing relief for communities impacted by Hurricane Katrina and COVID-19.

"[Mariah's] artistry and her voice have helped shape the sound of our times," says Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. "We look forward to celebrating her remarkable career on this very special night."

Past recipients include Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, U2's Bono, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Fleetwood Mac and Paul McCartney.

The event usually features performances by stars across multiple genres of music, all performing the songs of the honoree. The lineup will be announced at a later date. Tables and tickets are available for purchase now.

Since Taylor Swift released The Life of a Showgirl, people have commented on how some of the songs on the album sound like other songs. Apparently Taylor doesn't mind a comparison, as long as it's being pointed out by a fellow pop star.

Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean posted an Instagram Reel showing himself jamming out to a fan-created mash-up of Backstreet's classic "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" and Taylor's new song "Elizabeth Taylor"; Taylor's sped-up vocals are set to the music of the Backstreet track. Both songs were co-written and co-produced by Max Martin.

AJ wrote in the caption, "Come on now you know one of us had to! @taylorswift !"

Taylor replied in the comments, "OH HI AJ OH MY GOD."

One fan replied, "please get together make this an official Spotify mashup that we can all stream."

Coincidentally, or perhaps not, AJ's post came a day after he appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show and described how he'd gotten cool points with one of his daughters by introducing her to Taylor "two or three times now."

As if there weren't enough Taylor Swift songs around right now, Dan + Shay, the duo best known for their hits "Speechless," "Tequila" and "10,000 Hours," have rush-released a cover of one of her tunes due to fan demand.

The duo posted a clip of themselves singing an impromptu version of Taylor's "Back to December" from her 2010 album, Speak Now. So many fans asked for the full version that they headed right into the studio to record it and released it just days later. It's available now on streaming services.

"What started as an impromptu soundcheck cover of one of our favorite @taylorswift songs turned into the quickest recording-to-release turnaround in our almost 13 year career," the duo wrote on Instagram. "Huge thanks to our fans who encouraged us to get in the studio and make a full version, and to everyone on our team who worked like crazy to help us make it happen. We’re proud of the way it turned out, and hope you love it as much as we do."

The group then wrote on Instagram Monday, "Back To December + fall weather go together like 2026 + @danandshay world tour," teasing an upcoming return to the road.

Dan + Shay recently announced that they'd be putting out a new Christmas song this holiday season. They'd previously scored with the original holiday tracks "Pick Out a Christmas Tree," "Officially Christmas" and "Holiday Party." Last year they released It's Officially Christmas: The Double Album.

Sombr and Sabrina Carpenter are celebrating their newest entries into Spotify's Billions Club.

Sabrina's song "Feather," from the 2023 deluxe edition of her album Emails I Can't Send, just crossed the billion-stream mark. She wrote on her Instagram Story, "big day for feather heads. Thank you." Prior to "Espresso," "Feather" was her biggest hit.

Meanwhile, Sombr's "back to friends" has also reached that milestone.

He added on TikTok that he'd written the song "at my lowest." Sombr's headlining tour in support of his album I Barely Know Her continues Tuesday night in Salt Lake City. 

Meanwhile, Sabrina resumes her Short n' Sweet tour Oct. 23 in Pittsburgh. She's also dubbed her Oct. 31 show at New York's Madison Square Garden "Short n' Spooky," encouraging fans to come in Halloween costumes. Last year she had her Halloween-themed show in Dallas on Oct. 30, and dressed up as Sandy from Grease, a Playboy Bunny and Tinker Bell.

Is Bon Jovi getting ready to announce a tour? Well, that’s what some of their fans think, based on a tease they posted on Instagram.

The New Jersey rockers posted a photo of them taking a bow in front of a large concert audience, with the caption, “Tomorrow we’ve got something special for you (eyes emoji) Any guesses?”

That led to fans in the comments speculating that a tour announcement is coming.

“Bon Jovi 2026 Tour,” one person commented, while another added, “World Tour pleasssse.”

If Bon Jovi does announce a tour, it will be their first tour since 2022. Following that tour, frontman Jon Bon Jovi underwent vocal cord surgery and they haven’t toured since. His recovery was detailed in the band’s 2024 Hulu documentary, Thank You, Good Night: The Bon Jovi Story.

The tease comes as Bon Jovi is getting ready to release Forever (Legendary Edition) on Friday. The album has the band teaming with a whole host of artists to reimagine songs from their 2024 album, Forever.

Jonas Brothers grace the new digital cover of Esquire, and they also sat down for an installment of the publication's What I've Learned video series. In the chat, the brothers share how they "rallied for" each other in times of trouble.

After Kevin Jonas described his reaction to finding out that brother Nick Jonas had Type-1 diabetes, the interviewer asked whether Nick and Kevin had ever "come together" for Joe Jonas. Joe answered, "My divorce. These guys and many others being by my side through probably the most difficult time in my adult life thus far, navigating it while we're traveling and touring."

"Divorce is tough," he continued. "It's not easy for anybody, and I think people are so quick to make assumptions. And I'm so grateful that I have these guys, and I have amazing family and friends."

"These guys had my back," he adds, laughing, "whether I wanted to talk about it or they knew I did not want to talk about it that day, they showed up for me in a major way."

Joe says he's now "able to have a relationship with my co-parent, Sophie [Turner]."

Joe and Sophie married in 2019; Joe filed for divorce in September 2023. Things got messy over custody and visitation rights with the couple's two daughters, but they managed to come to an agreement in October of that year. Their divorce was finalized in September 2024.

Bruno Mars hasn't released any new solo music in years, but his back catalog continues to rack up the streams. In fact, he's just set an all-time record with a 15-year-old song.
