#MAGFAB: Babacar N’doye Steps Into Color For Hunger Magazine
Photographer Andrew Yee (Atelier Management) and stylist Marco Antonio come together for Hunger magazine, crafting their story in shifting color fields. From teal to orange to crimson to chartreuse, model Babacar N’Doye moves through each frame in bold pieces from brands such as MCM, Fendi, and Louis Vuitton.
Antonio layers jackets with patterned shirts, mixing prints and proportion in a way that suggests moderation beneath the saturation. The editorial’s thesis is straightforward: color requires no apology. Here, Babacar’s composed expressions suggest someone entirely at home in visual weight. Confidence makes the color work, not the other way around.

#MusicNews: Neil Young Is Giving Away His Music To Greenlanders
Neil Young is opening the doors of his vault to Greenlanders, for free.
The veteran rocker and environmentalist proves, once more, that he’s rockin’ in the free world by sharing the love with Greenland, an ally which unwittingly finds itself with a massive target on its back, placed there by Donald Trump’s administration.
“I’m honored to give a free year’s access to neilyoungarchives.com to all our friends in Greenland,” writes Young on his website.
“I hope my music and music films will ease some of the unwarranted stress and threats you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government,” he adds. “It is my sincere wish for you to be able to enjoy all of my music in your beautiful Greenland home, in its highest quality. This is an offer of Peace and Love.”
Young continues, “all the music I have made during the last 62 years is yours to hear. You can renew for free as long as you are in Greenland. We do hope other organizations will follow in the spirit of our example.”
Just how many of Greenland’s 57,000 residents are fans of Neil Young and his vast catalog is unclear, though the message is plain to see: music and art can help in difficult times.
During his second presidency, since 2025, Trump has repeated demands to take control of the territory, by acquisition or by force — a situation that would break international law and turn NATO inside out. Greenland is a self-governing democracy that remains part of the Kingdom of Denmark, a member state of the European Union.
Young has a long history with Trump, most of it on the side of vocal opposition. On several occasions, the musician — who is a dual citizen of Canada and the U.S. — has slammed Trump for playing his music at rallies. In 2020, he called Trump “a disgrace to my country,” and later pointed out that “the U.S. has lost its standing” on the world stage under the President’s leadership.
Earlier this year, he penned a strongly-worded editorial on his official Neil Young Archives, in which he writes, “Today the USA is a disaster”. And it’s Trump, he added, who “is destroying America bit by bit with his staff of wannabes…He has divided us.”
Times sure have changed. Sometime in 2014 or 2015, Young actually met with Trump, prior to his first presidency, to apparently talk funding in the early stages of the artist’s now-defunct Pono digital music venture. If those discussions were at first amicable, they soon descended into a social media beef.
#HipHopNews: Christian Combs Goes Off On 50 Cent, Calls Him A Senior Citizen
Christian Combs is the latest person to get trolled by 50 Cent on social media.
King Combs recently popped out during Total’s set on Room 112’s Tour, and the reception from the crowd was mixed at best. Before jumping into his verse on “How You Want It?,”
Christian attempted to get the audience to join him in a “Bad Boy” chant. The response was noticeably divided, with some fans participating while others stayed quiet.
In the video, the chant can be heard faintly in the background, with a few attendees shouting “Bad Boy” alongside him.
Once the clip made its way online, it quickly went viral, and it didn’t take long for 50 Cent, Hip-Hop’s resident king troll, to jump in.
Fif posted the video himself and joked, “Damn, his timing was just a little off.”
The comment comes as no surprise as 50 has repeatedly taken shots at Diddy amid his ongoing legal troubles.
He even went so far as to create a Netflix series titled Sean Combs: The Reckoning, where he highlights Diddy’s controversies at every turn.
Diddy’s son, Christian, wasn’t letting the jab slide. Responding in the comments saying, “The real reason why this senior citizen, Curtis, is angry and keeps posting me is cause his BM.”
As of now, 50 Cent has yet to respond, but if history tells us anything, the king troll is far from finished.
Apple CEO Tim Cook Fried For Attending White House Screening For Struggle ‘Melania’ Doc
Tim Apple is getting cooked on social media, and he has no one to blame but himself.
The Apple CEO was already fried for bowing down and kissing Trump’s ring following Orange Mussolini’s unfortunate Presidential election victory over Kamala Harris, even dipping into his own pockets to donate $1 million to the current occupant of The White House’s second inaugural committee.
Cook has also attended private dinners with other billionaires and even gave Trump a 24-karat stand and a glass Apple plaque.
Now, he continues to tarnish his legacy after folks found out he attended a special White House screening of Melania Trump’s struggle self-titled documentary, Melania.
To make matters worse, Cook posed for a photo with the documentary’s co-producer and director, Brett Ratner.
For those who may have forgotten Ratner was accused of rape and sexual misconduct, so it’s quite fitting he was at the White House, cause he has a lot in common with the current President of the United States.
Once again, Cook is feeling the heat on social media for hobnobbing with Trump and other billionaires, and rightfully so.
“Remember, Tim Cook gave Trump $1 million for his inauguration, presented him with a 24-carat trophy, and attended a screening of Melania, a $75 million bribe by Jeff Bezos. Right after Trump’s goons murdered a VA nurse in broad daylight,” one post one X, formerly Twitter, said.
Another post read, “here’s apple CEO tim cook posing with accused sexual predator brett ratner at a screening of his ‘melania’ doc at the white house. olivia munn, one of ratner’s alleged victims, stars in the apple tv+ series ‘your friends & neighbors.” Damn.
Not looking good Tim Apple.
Coco Gauff smashes racket in frustration after 59-minute collapse in Australian Open quarterfinal
Coco Gauff’s hopes of winning this year’s Australian Open came crashing down in just 59 minutes on Tuesday, as she was beaten in straight sets in the quarterfinals by Ukrainian star Elina Svitolina.
The American had been playing so well in Melbourne that many tipped her to win her first Australian Open and third grand slam overall, but she struggled to find any of that previous form against Svitolina in sweltering conditions.
The Ukrainian, who has also been on a hot streak this year, capitalized on Gauff’s poor performance to win 6-1, 6-2 in less than an hour and booked her place in the semifinal against world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.
Clearly frustrated by her level during the quarterfinal, Gauff was filmed smashing her racket against a concrete ramp after making her way off the court at Rod Laver Arena. It was a moment of frustration that she thought was private.
“I tried to go somewhere where I thought there wasn’t a camera because I don’t necessarily like breaking rackets,” Gauff told reporters after the match.
“I tried to go somewhere where they wouldn’t broadcast it, but obviously, they did. So, yeah, maybe some conversations can be had because I feel like at this tournament the only private place we have is the locker room.”
A lot of Gauff’s frustration likely stemmed from her poor serving performance in the first set, where the world No. 3 produced five double faults that saw her broken in four service games.
While her serving improved in the second set, the 21-year-old still made 12 unforced errors, which saw any hopes of a comeback extinguished.
“I just felt like all the things I do well, I just wasn’t doing well today,” Gauff said. “The backhand wasn’t firing. Forehand wasn’t really firing. Returns.

“There was just a lot that didn’t go well today. I credit it to her because she forced me to play like that. It’s not like I just woke up and, yeah, today was a bad day, but bad days are often caused by your opponent. So she did well.”
Gauff said she doesn’t necessarily regret smashing her racket behind the scenes, knowing the importance of letting off steam after such a frustrating day at the office.
She would much prefer to do that, she said, rather than take it out on her coaching team in the player’s box.
“I don’t want to lash out on my team. They’re good people. They don’t deserve that, and I know I’m emotional,” she added.
“I just took the minute to go and do that. I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Like I said, I don’t try to do it on court in front of kids and things like that, but I do know I need to let out that emotion.
“Otherwise, I’m just going to be snappy with the people around me, and I don’t want to do that because, like I said, they don’t deserve it. They did their best. I did mine. Just need to let the frustration out.”
I Love Boosters Trailer: Keke Palmer And Demi Moore Face Off In Boots Riley Shoplifting Satire
With instant cult classic (or colt classic...) Sorry To Bother You and surreal 13ft high schooler series I'm A Virgo, it would be fair to say that writer-director Boots Riley has cornered the market on semi-fantastical explorations of class and race in contemporary America. As such, we are very excited for Boots' latest, I Love Boosters, a hyper-stylised satire in which Keke Palmer leads The Velvet Gang, a shoplifting ring with their sights set on fashion maven Demi Moore's wares. Yes, it's Keke Palmer vs Demi Moore — and you can check out the trailer below for a taste of what's to come;
Well if we ever wondered what a sort-of altruistic, blue collar, Boots Riley take on The Bling Ring might look like, then we have our answer: I Love Boosters. “I shop here a lot, and I feel like I should have it all,” Palmer's ringleader Corvette says when a green-haired Will Poulter asks why she wants to work in a designer clothes store. “I just want to take it all home, heat it up and shoot it out my eyes. I just feel like, ‘Give it to me. It’s mine anyway.'” Cut to Corvette — flanked by supremely well-dressed partners in crime Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza González, and Naomi Ackie — doing exactly that, pilfering high-end clobber to sell at a discount ("I call it 'Triple F' — Fashion Forward Philanthropy" explains Paige.) The wrinkle then? Their biggest target, a Moore-faced fashion mogul, has no time for "low-class urban bitches", and for her that means The Velvet Gang. Oh, and there's a bit where the gang seemingly turn into puppets... so it's a Boots Riley movie all over.
With a supporting cast including LaKeith Stanfield, Jason Ritter, and a must-be-seen-to-be-believed Don Cheadle, a delicious revenge thread thrumming through Corvette's feud with Moore's mogul, and this trailer teasing another subversive, surreal cinematic experience, all early signs are pointing towards another Boots Riley banger. American audiences can let us know if they love I Love Boosters when it hits US cinemas on 22 May, and we'll chime in just as soon as the movie nabs itself a UK release date. Watch this space!
Djimon Hounsou’s Ex Granted Djimon Hounsou’s Ex Granted Protective Order Against Actor After She Was Arrested For Allegedly Punching Him In The Face
Here’s your daily reminder that there are always two sides to every story.
Djimon Hounsou’s ex-girlfriend and mother of his children, Ri’za Marie Simpson, has been granted a temporary protective order against the actor following a series of heated incidents and her recent arrest for alleged a$$ault, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. Remember last week when reports surfaced that Simpson was arrested for allegedly punching the #BloodDiamond star in the face after he tried to kick her out of his #Atlanta home? Well, Simpson says that’s not the full story.
She told a judge that her arrest was wrongful and described what she called abusive behavior by Hounsou, including financial mistreatment and an attempted illegal eviction. In her account of the events leading up to the December dispute, Simpson said that Hounsou slammed a vehicle door against her left side, screamed at her, and called her names. In audio she released, Simpson can reportedly be heard repeatedly asking Hounsou for her keys to the property back. At one point, he allegedly calls her a “bitter f***ing divorced person” before yelling at Simpson to get out. She also claimed he “came at” her, standing nose-to-nose during a separate October incident in front of their children.
The protective order requires Hounsou to have no contact with Simpson or their children and to stay at least 200 yards away from them until a hearing in February.Protective Order Against Actor After She Was Arrested For Allegedly Punching Him In The Face

Pornhub Reportedly Set to Restrict Access in the UK in February
Pornhub users in the UK will find accessing the website will become harder once February starts.
BBC reports that Pornhub will begin restricting access to the website in the UK due to the tough age checks that have been introduced for pornographic websites. When Feb. 2 hits, only people who have made a previous Pornhub account will be able to view its content.
According to Pornhub’s parent company Aylo, updates to the UK’s Online Safety Act that require age verification had “diverted traffic to darker, unregulated corners of the internet.”
Last October, Aylo claimed that the OSA’s change led to traffic to Pornhub decreasing by 77%.
Internet regulation company Ofcom said in a statement that “pron services have a choice between using age checks to protect users as required under the Act, or to block access to their sites in the UK” and that it would continue its dialogue with Aylo “to understand this change to its position.”
Speaking to BBC about the decision, Aylo’s head of community and brand, Alex Kekesi, claimed that the decision to restrict access in the UK was a “difficult decision.”
“Our sites, which host legal and regulated porn, will no longer be available in the UK to new users, but thousands of irresponsible porn sites will still be easy to access,” she said.
Pornhub’s restriction in the UK comes amidst its growing restriction by states in the United States. So far, 23 states have restricted access to the platform.
DeVon Franklin Recalls Getting on Dating Apps After Divorce From Meagan Good
DeVon Franklin went straight to dating apps after his 2022 divorce from actress Meagan Good.
In advance of the release on Thursday (Jan. 29) of his new Audible original Be True: My Journey from Breakdown to Breakthrough, the producer and motivational speaker posted a portion of a live performance to his TikTok Stories. In it, he looked back on his divorce from Good.
The couple was married for ten years before splitting. Last August, Franklin married fitness coach Maria Castillo. Earlier that year, Good married actor Jonathan Majors.
Franklin recalled the "dilemma" of leaving his first marriage and said he was "struggling" with the decision.
"Even thinking of the question was terrifying," Franklin told the crowd. "Even having the thought put me in a state of disbelief and absolute fear. I never thought that I would contemplate it. Better yet, I never thought that I would even do it. But now I'm at the edge of considering it."
DeVon Franklin recalls the moment he first considered divorcing his ex-wife Meagan Good while opening up about using dating apps after the divorce & calls it a red flag when someone you’re dating refuses to remove thirst traps
Franklin added that following through with the divorce would make him consider himself a "failure," and would be a "sacrifice and death" of the persona that his marriage-minded fans had come to respect. In 2015, Franklin and Good published a relationship and self-help book, The Wait, about reasons to abstain from sex until marriage.
The entertainment producer later recalled going on dating apps after his divorce was finalized and joked that he needed his swipe to be blessed.
"I wasn't looking for marriage. I was just looking to explore and have a good time and enjoy myself," Franklin said.
Elsewhere, Franklin recalled being "ghostfished," a combination of ghosted and catfished, when he talked to a woman on Snapchat for close to five months but never met her in person.
He also recalled a time where he fell for a woman's thirst trap photo, then criticized her for leaving it up after they began a relationship. He said that it was a "red flag" that the woman continued to post suggestive pictures.
"I just found it very interesting that I'm out here decluttering my DMs like a good boy, per her request, and meanwhile she's got the storefront looking like buy-one, slide in free," he said.
During an interview on Cam Newton's Funky Friday podcast last October, Franklin recalled temporarily living in a Los Angeles hotel for a year after his divorce.
Kanye West Denies Apologizing to Sell Records
This week Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, issued a public apology to the Black and Jewish communities
Kanye denies making the apology for financial gain...
In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Ye answered some questions about the mea culpa. The Grammy-winning hip-hop artist wrote his responses via email to the publication and “declined to answer” some of the magazine’s questions “about where his antisemitic sentiments may have originated from and why, and how he has made amends in his personal life,” according to Vanity Fair.
In the Q&A, Ye addressed concerns that the apology looks like a “PR move” ahead of the release of his new album, “Bully,” supposedly out on Friday.
“It’s my understanding that I was in the top 10 most listened-to artists overall in the U.S. on Spotify in 2025, and last week and most days as well. My upcoming album, ‘Bully,’ is currently one of the most anticipated pre-saves of any album on Spotify too. My 2007 album, ‘Graduation,’ was also the most listened-to and streamed hip-hop album of 2025,” Ye wrote to Vanity Fair, implying he did not need to own up to his mistakes in order to promote his new album.
“This, for me, as evidenced by the letter, isn’t about reviving my commerciality,” he continued. “This is because these remorseful feelings were so heavy on my heart and weighing on my spirit. I owe a huge apology once again for everything that I said that hurt the Jewish and Black communities in particular. All of it went too far. I look at wreckage of my episode and realize that this isn’t who I am. As a public figure, so many people follow and listen to my every word. It’s important that they realize and understand what side of history that I want to stand on. And that is one of love and positivity.”
Man Tackled to Ground After Spraying an Unknown Substance on Rep. Ilhan Omar During Minnesota Town Hall
U.S. Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar was sprayed with an unknown substance by a man during a town hall event.
Omar was speaking on Tuesday night (January 27) in Minneapolis, Minn. amid protests against ICE when a man rushed toward her and sprayed something at her torso, per USA Today.
The video shows liquid spray on to Omar‘s shirt from off-screen and then the man enters the frame and is swiftly tackled to the ground by security.
The Minnesota representative had been calling for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to be impeached when the incident happened.
After, she said, “They are not going to get away with this.” And despite some people asking her to stop the town hall, Omar responded, “Please don’t let them have the show.”
Another woman reportedly commented on the smell of whatever the liquid was, saying, “It’s about your safety, you need to go get checked. It smells terrible.”
Omar continued, “Here’s the reality that people like this ugly man don’t understand; we are Minnesota strong and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”
Once back on track, she continued to call on Noem to resign or face impeachment.
Calvin Klein, 83, Spotted at Gym with Model Boyfriend Kevin Baker, 37

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Crashes Jimmy Fallon Show For a Joke
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani unexpectedly joined The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for a quick joke during the show’s blizzard-themed monologue. Mamdani added to his eventful first month in office by stepping into late-night comedy just weeks after taking the oath.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently appeared unexpectedly on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He joined the show during Fallon’s monologue segment.
Fallon had been delivering jokes about the ongoing blizzard, including, “It is so cold my belly button went from an outie to an innie,” and “Basically, the entire city pulled an avocado.” The storm had brought over 10 inches of snow to Manhattan’s Central Park, marking the city’s largest snowfall in five years.
Mamdani entered the stage to cheers from the audience and said, “Jimmy, let me try one.” He followed with his own punchline: “It’s so cold in New York City, the rent froze itself.” He added, “But seriously: Stay inside, stay warm, stay safe. Thank you,” before exiting the stage. Fallon had also joked earlier that “It is so cold, walking to work, I saw a Wall Street stockbroker spooning with Zohran Mamdani.”
Mamdani had been handling the blizzard in his third week as mayor. He kept residents updated through social media and was seen helping shovel out a snow-buried car in Brooklyn. At a press conference, he said, “The snow is coming down heavily across our city, and I can think of no better excuse for New Yorkers to say home, take a long nap or take advantage of our public library’s offer of free access to Heated Rivalry on e-book or audiobook for anyone with a library card.” The New York Public Library later reported a spike in e-Book downloads.
Zohran Mamdani made his first appearance on The Tonight Show after previously appearing on The Daily Show and The Late Show. At his inauguration on January 1, 2026, musician Lucy Dacus performed “Bread and Roses” and described it as “such a beautiful sentiment.”
Amazon Is Finally Giving Up on Amazon Fresh and Go Stores
Amazon is making another major shift in how it approaches grocery retail, and this time the focus is getting tighter.
The company confirmed Tuesday that it will close a large number of its Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go physical stores, redirecting investment toward Whole Foods Market growth and faster grocery delivery. The change reflects Amazon’s continued effort to fine-tune its grocery business, even as the company now generates more than $150 billion in annual revenue.
According to Axios, Amazon said 57 Amazon Fresh locations and 15 Amazon Go stores will shut down, with most closures scheduled for February 1. Locations in California will stay open longer to meet state labor requirements. Some of the closed stores may be converted into Whole Foods Market locations, while Amazon also plans to open additional Whole Foods stores and experiment with smaller-format designs.
The move represents a pullback from years of testing different grocery concepts, including cashierless convenience stores and traditional supermarkets built under Amazon’s own branding. Instead, Amazon appears to be doubling down on what has worked best.
“This brings one of Amazon’s longest-running physical grocery experiments to a close,” said Neil Saunders, managing director at GlobalData. “The blunt truth is that neither Fresh nor Go delivered clear differentiation for shoppers,” Saunders added that Whole Foods has emerged as Amazon’s strongest grocery brand, pointing to clearer economics and stronger customer loyalty.
Amazon acknowledged similar challenges, saying that while it saw “encouraging signals” from its Amazon-branded grocery stores, it did not create “a truly distinctive customer experience with the right economic model needed for large-scale expansion.”
Customers will still be able to order Amazon Fresh online in select areas, as the company accelerates grocery delivery, especially same-day service for perishable items. Amazon also confirmed that its Just Walk Out checkout technology will continue to be licensed to third parties.

Greenland is a self-governing democracy that remains part of the Kingdom of Denmark, a member state of the European Union.
Young has a long history with Trump, most of it on the side of vocal opposition. On several occasions, the musician — who is a dual citizen of Canada and the U.S. — has slammed Trump for playing his music at rallies. In 2020, he called Trump “a disgrace to my country,” and later pointed out that “the U.S. has lost its standing” on the world stage under the President’s leadership.
Earlier this year, he penned a strongly-worded editorial on his official Neil Young Archives, in which he writes, “Today the USA is a disaster”. And it’s Trump, he added, who “is destroying America bit by bit with his staff of wannabes…He has divided us.”
Times sure have changed. Sometime in 2014 or 2015, Young actually met with Trump, prior to his first presidency, to apparently talk funding in the early stages of the artist’s now-defunct Pono digital music venture. If those discussions were at first amicable, they soon descended into a social media beef.
#HipHopNews: Christian Combs Goes Off On 50 Cent, Calls Him A Senior Citizen
Christian Combs is the latest person to get trolled by 50 Cent on social media.
King Combs recently popped out during Total’s set on Room 112’s Tour, and the reception from the crowd was mixed at best. Before jumping into his verse on “How You Want It?,”
Christian attempted to get the audience to join him in a “Bad Boy” chant. The response was noticeably divided, with some fans participating while others stayed quiet.
In the video, the chant can be heard faintly in the background, with a few attendees shouting “Bad Boy” alongside him.
Once the clip made its way online, it quickly went viral, and it didn’t take long for 50 Cent, Hip-Hop’s resident king troll, to jump in.
Fif posted the video himself and joked, “Damn, his timing was just a little off.”
The comment comes as no surprise as 50 has repeatedly taken shots at Diddy amid his ongoing legal troubles.
He even went so far as to create a Netflix series titled Sean Combs: The Reckoning, where he highlights Diddy’s controversies at every turn.
Diddy’s son, Christian, wasn’t letting the jab slide. Responding in the comments saying, “The real reason why this senior citizen, Curtis, is angry and keeps posting me is cause his BM.”
As of now, 50 Cent has yet to respond, but if history tells us anything, the king troll is far from finished.
Apple CEO Tim Cook Fried For Attending White House Screening For Struggle ‘Melania’ Doc
The Apple CEO was already fried for bowing down and kissing Trump’s ring following Orange Mussolini’s unfortunate Presidential election victory over Kamala Harris, even dipping into his own pockets to donate $1 million to the current occupant of The White House’s second inaugural committee.
Cook has also attended private dinners with other billionaires and even gave Trump a 24-karat stand and a glass Apple plaque.
Now, he continues to tarnish his legacy after folks found out he attended a special White House screening of Melania Trump’s struggle self-titled documentary, Melania.
To make matters worse, Cook posed for a photo with the documentary’s co-producer and director, Brett Ratner.
For those who may have forgotten Ratner was accused of rape and sexual misconduct, so it’s quite fitting he was at the White House, cause he has a lot in common with the current President of the United States.
Once again, Cook is feeling the heat on social media for hobnobbing with Trump and other billionaires, and rightfully so.
“Remember, Tim Cook gave Trump $1 million for his inauguration, presented him with a 24-carat trophy, and attended a screening of Melania, a $75 million bribe by Jeff Bezos. Right after Trump’s goons murdered a VA nurse in broad daylight,” one post one X, formerly Twitter, said.
Another post read, “here’s apple CEO tim cook posing with accused sexual predator brett ratner at a screening of his ‘melania’ doc at the white house. olivia munn, one of ratner’s alleged victims, stars in the apple tv+ series ‘your friends & neighbors.” Damn.
Not looking good Tim Apple.
Coco Gauff smashes racket in frustration after 59-minute collapse in Australian Open quarterfinal
Coco Gauff’s hopes of winning this year’s Australian Open came crashing down in just 59 minutes on Tuesday, as she was beaten in straight sets in the quarterfinals by Ukrainian star Elina Svitolina.
The American had been playing so well in Melbourne that many tipped her to win her first Australian Open and third grand slam overall, but she struggled to find any of that previous form against Svitolina in sweltering conditions.
The Ukrainian, who has also been on a hot streak this year, capitalized on Gauff’s poor performance to win 6-1, 6-2 in less than an hour and booked her place in the semifinal against world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.
Clearly frustrated by her level during the quarterfinal, Gauff was filmed smashing her racket against a concrete ramp after making her way off the court at Rod Laver Arena. It was a moment of frustration that she thought was private.
“I tried to go somewhere where I thought there wasn’t a camera because I don’t necessarily like breaking rackets,” Gauff told reporters after the match.
“I tried to go somewhere where they wouldn’t broadcast it, but obviously, they did. So, yeah, maybe some conversations can be had because I feel like at this tournament the only private place we have is the locker room.”
A lot of Gauff’s frustration likely stemmed from her poor serving performance in the first set, where the world No. 3 produced five double faults that saw her broken in four service games.
While her serving improved in the second set, the 21-year-old still made 12 unforced errors, which saw any hopes of a comeback extinguished.
“I just felt like all the things I do well, I just wasn’t doing well today,” Gauff said. “The backhand wasn’t firing. Forehand wasn’t really firing. Returns.

“There was just a lot that didn’t go well today. I credit it to her because she forced me to play like that. It’s not like I just woke up and, yeah, today was a bad day, but bad days are often caused by your opponent. So she did well.”
Gauff said she doesn’t necessarily regret smashing her racket behind the scenes, knowing the importance of letting off steam after such a frustrating day at the office.
She would much prefer to do that, she said, rather than take it out on her coaching team in the player’s box.
“I don’t want to lash out on my team. They’re good people. They don’t deserve that, and I know I’m emotional,” she added.
“I just took the minute to go and do that. I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Like I said, I don’t try to do it on court in front of kids and things like that, but I do know I need to let out that emotion.
“Otherwise, I’m just going to be snappy with the people around me, and I don’t want to do that because, like I said, they don’t deserve it. They did their best. I did mine. Just need to let the frustration out.”

Djimon Hounsou’s Ex Granted Djimon Hounsou’s Ex Granted Protective Order Against Actor After She Was Arrested For Allegedly Punching Him In The Face
Djimon Hounsou’s ex-girlfriend and mother of his children, Ri’za Marie Simpson, has been granted a temporary protective order against the actor following a series of heated incidents and her recent arrest for alleged a$$ault, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. Remember last week when reports surfaced that Simpson was arrested for allegedly punching the #BloodDiamond star in the face after he tried to kick her out of his #Atlanta home? Well, Simpson says that’s not the full story.
She told a judge that her arrest was wrongful and described what she called abusive behavior by Hounsou, including financial mistreatment and an attempted illegal eviction. In her account of the events leading up to the December dispute, Simpson said that Hounsou slammed a vehicle door against her left side, screamed at her, and called her names. In audio she released, Simpson can reportedly be heard repeatedly asking Hounsou for her keys to the property back. At one point, he allegedly calls her a “bitter f***ing divorced person” before yelling at Simpson to get out. She also claimed he “came at” her, standing nose-to-nose during a separate October incident in front of their children.
The protective order requires Hounsou to have no contact with Simpson or their children and to stay at least 200 yards away from them until a hearing in February.Protective Order Against Actor After She Was Arrested For Allegedly Punching Him In The Face

Pornhub Reportedly Set to Restrict Access in the UK in February
Pornhub users in the UK will find accessing the website will become harder once February starts.
BBC reports that Pornhub will begin restricting access to the website in the UK due to the tough age checks that have been introduced for pornographic websites. When Feb. 2 hits, only people who have made a previous Pornhub account will be able to view its content.
According to Pornhub’s parent company Aylo, updates to the UK’s Online Safety Act that require age verification had “diverted traffic to darker, unregulated corners of the internet.”
Last October, Aylo claimed that the OSA’s change led to traffic to Pornhub decreasing by 77%.
Internet regulation company Ofcom said in a statement that “pron services have a choice between using age checks to protect users as required under the Act, or to block access to their sites in the UK” and that it would continue its dialogue with Aylo “to understand this change to its position.”
Speaking to BBC about the decision, Aylo’s head of community and brand, Alex Kekesi, claimed that the decision to restrict access in the UK was a “difficult decision.”
“Our sites, which host legal and regulated porn, will no longer be available in the UK to new users, but thousands of irresponsible porn sites will still be easy to access,” she said.
Pornhub’s restriction in the UK comes amidst its growing restriction by states in the United States. So far, 23 states have restricted access to the platform.
DeVon Franklin Recalls Getting on Dating Apps After Divorce From Meagan Good
In advance of the release on Thursday (Jan. 29) of his new Audible original Be True: My Journey from Breakdown to Breakthrough, the producer and motivational speaker posted a portion of a live performance to his TikTok Stories. In it, he looked back on his divorce from Good.
The couple was married for ten years before splitting. Last August, Franklin married fitness coach Maria Castillo. Earlier that year, Good married actor Jonathan Majors.
Franklin recalled the "dilemma" of leaving his first marriage and said he was "struggling" with the decision.
"Even thinking of the question was terrifying," Franklin told the crowd. "Even having the thought put me in a state of disbelief and absolute fear. I never thought that I would contemplate it. Better yet, I never thought that I would even do it. But now I'm at the edge of considering it."
DeVon Franklin recalls the moment he first considered divorcing his ex-wife Meagan Good while opening up about using dating apps after the divorce & calls it a red flag when someone you’re dating refuses to remove thirst traps
Franklin added that following through with the divorce would make him consider himself a "failure," and would be a "sacrifice and death" of the persona that his marriage-minded fans had come to respect. In 2015, Franklin and Good published a relationship and self-help book, The Wait, about reasons to abstain from sex until marriage.
The entertainment producer later recalled going on dating apps after his divorce was finalized and joked that he needed his swipe to be blessed.
"I wasn't looking for marriage. I was just looking to explore and have a good time and enjoy myself," Franklin said.
Elsewhere, Franklin recalled being "ghostfished," a combination of ghosted and catfished, when he talked to a woman on Snapchat for close to five months but never met her in person.
He also recalled a time where he fell for a woman's thirst trap photo, then criticized her for leaving it up after they began a relationship. He said that it was a "red flag" that the woman continued to post suggestive pictures.
"I just found it very interesting that I'm out here decluttering my DMs like a good boy, per her request, and meanwhile she's got the storefront looking like buy-one, slide in free," he said.
During an interview on Cam Newton's Funky Friday podcast last October, Franklin recalled temporarily living in a Los Angeles hotel for a year after his divorce.
Kanye West Denies Apologizing to Sell Records
This week Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, issued a public apology to the Black and Jewish communities
Kanye denies making the apology for financial gain...
In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Ye answered some questions about the mea culpa. The Grammy-winning hip-hop artist wrote his responses via email to the publication and “declined to answer” some of the magazine’s questions “about where his antisemitic sentiments may have originated from and why, and how he has made amends in his personal life,” according to Vanity Fair.
In the Q&A, Ye addressed concerns that the apology looks like a “PR move” ahead of the release of his new album, “Bully,” supposedly out on Friday.
“It’s my understanding that I was in the top 10 most listened-to artists overall in the U.S. on Spotify in 2025, and last week and most days as well. My upcoming album, ‘Bully,’ is currently one of the most anticipated pre-saves of any album on Spotify too. My 2007 album, ‘Graduation,’ was also the most listened-to and streamed hip-hop album of 2025,” Ye wrote to Vanity Fair, implying he did not need to own up to his mistakes in order to promote his new album.
“This, for me, as evidenced by the letter, isn’t about reviving my commerciality,” he continued. “This is because these remorseful feelings were so heavy on my heart and weighing on my spirit. I owe a huge apology once again for everything that I said that hurt the Jewish and Black communities in particular. All of it went too far. I look at wreckage of my episode and realize that this isn’t who I am. As a public figure, so many people follow and listen to my every word. It’s important that they realize and understand what side of history that I want to stand on. And that is one of love and positivity.”
Man Tackled to Ground After Spraying an Unknown Substance on Rep. Ilhan Omar During Minnesota Town Hall
Omar was speaking on Tuesday night (January 27) in Minneapolis, Minn. amid protests against ICE when a man rushed toward her and sprayed something at her torso, per USA Today.
The video shows liquid spray on to Omar‘s shirt from off-screen and then the man enters the frame and is swiftly tackled to the ground by security.
The Minnesota representative had been calling for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to be impeached when the incident happened.
After, she said, “They are not going to get away with this.” And despite some people asking her to stop the town hall, Omar responded, “Please don’t let them have the show.”
Another woman reportedly commented on the smell of whatever the liquid was, saying, “It’s about your safety, you need to go get checked. It smells terrible.”
Omar continued, “Here’s the reality that people like this ugly man don’t understand; we are Minnesota strong and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”
Once back on track, she continued to call on Noem to resign or face impeachment.
Calvin Klein, 83, Spotted at Gym with Model Boyfriend Kevin Baker, 37

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Crashes Jimmy Fallon Show For a Joke
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently appeared unexpectedly on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He joined the show during Fallon’s monologue segment.
Fallon had been delivering jokes about the ongoing blizzard, including, “It is so cold my belly button went from an outie to an innie,” and “Basically, the entire city pulled an avocado.” The storm had brought over 10 inches of snow to Manhattan’s Central Park, marking the city’s largest snowfall in five years.
Mamdani entered the stage to cheers from the audience and said, “Jimmy, let me try one.” He followed with his own punchline: “It’s so cold in New York City, the rent froze itself.” He added, “But seriously: Stay inside, stay warm, stay safe. Thank you,” before exiting the stage. Fallon had also joked earlier that “It is so cold, walking to work, I saw a Wall Street stockbroker spooning with Zohran Mamdani.”
Mamdani had been handling the blizzard in his third week as mayor. He kept residents updated through social media and was seen helping shovel out a snow-buried car in Brooklyn. At a press conference, he said, “The snow is coming down heavily across our city, and I can think of no better excuse for New Yorkers to say home, take a long nap or take advantage of our public library’s offer of free access to Heated Rivalry on e-book or audiobook for anyone with a library card.” The New York Public Library later reported a spike in e-Book downloads.
Zohran Mamdani made his first appearance on The Tonight Show after previously appearing on The Daily Show and The Late Show. At his inauguration on January 1, 2026, musician Lucy Dacus performed “Bread and Roses” and described it as “such a beautiful sentiment.”
Amazon Is Finally Giving Up on Amazon Fresh and Go Stores
Amazon is making another major shift in how it approaches grocery retail, and this time the focus is getting tighter.
The company confirmed Tuesday that it will close a large number of its Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go physical stores, redirecting investment toward Whole Foods Market growth and faster grocery delivery. The change reflects Amazon’s continued effort to fine-tune its grocery business, even as the company now generates more than $150 billion in annual revenue.
According to Axios, Amazon said 57 Amazon Fresh locations and 15 Amazon Go stores will shut down, with most closures scheduled for February 1. Locations in California will stay open longer to meet state labor requirements. Some of the closed stores may be converted into Whole Foods Market locations, while Amazon also plans to open additional Whole Foods stores and experiment with smaller-format designs.
The move represents a pullback from years of testing different grocery concepts, including cashierless convenience stores and traditional supermarkets built under Amazon’s own branding. Instead, Amazon appears to be doubling down on what has worked best.
“This brings one of Amazon’s longest-running physical grocery experiments to a close,” said Neil Saunders, managing director at GlobalData. “The blunt truth is that neither Fresh nor Go delivered clear differentiation for shoppers,” Saunders added that Whole Foods has emerged as Amazon’s strongest grocery brand, pointing to clearer economics and stronger customer loyalty.
Amazon acknowledged similar challenges, saying that while it saw “encouraging signals” from its Amazon-branded grocery stores, it did not create “a truly distinctive customer experience with the right economic model needed for large-scale expansion.”
Customers will still be able to order Amazon Fresh online in select areas, as the company accelerates grocery delivery, especially same-day service for perishable items. Amazon also confirmed that its Just Walk Out checkout technology will continue to be licensed to third parties.
