On Friday June 13, Kanye West – or Ye Ye, as he now prefers – dropped by the Sean Combs trial where he told reporters he was there to “offer support.” CNN reported late on Thursday June 12 that this was a possibility: West was both in New York and has been working on music with Christian Combs, Diddy’s son, who has been very present at the trial.

Best believe she’s still bejeweled. The cover of Sabrina Carpenter’s forthcoming album, Man’s Best Friend, features the singer on her knees, pawing for attention at an anonymous man who has his hand grippingher hair. The high-contrast, filmic quality of the image cover calls to mind — aside from the obvious dog-like imagery — an old photo shoot of French singer and actor Serge Gainsbourg and his then-wife, British actor Jane Birkin.

Stream Glass Houses. If Robert De Niro wants to call Billy Joel the “poet laureate of New York,” then it’s probably safe to say that Billy Joel is the poet laureate of New York. De Niro was at the Beacon Theatre to introduce the Tribeca Film Festival’s opening-night screening of Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin’s Billy Joel: And So It Goes.

Worst Materialists promo yet. Longtime on-again, off-again (engaged but not making a big deal of it) couple Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have reportedly split after eight years. Maybe the exclusive source is lying to People when they say “it feels final this time,” but the reports of a breakup arriving on the eve of Celine Song’s Materialists feels altogether auspicious. What better way to grapple with the meaning of a post-modern rom-com than to end a relationship of eight years?
