#MusicNews from Johnny Gill Secures Second Billboard No. 1 of the Year “A Dance, A Kiss”
Legendary R&B vocalist and New Edition standout Johnny Gill has officially claimed the top spot on the charts once again. His latest sultry single, “A Dance, A Kiss,” has reached No. 1 on the Billboard Adult R&B Airplay chart, marking the veteran singer’s second chart-topping hit of the year. The track is available now globally across all digital streaming platforms via his own J Skillz Entertainment imprint.
Produced by hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg alongside Priest “Soopafly” Brooks, the record delivers an undeniably smooth groove designed to capture the magnetic, rhythmic pull between two people. The track was co-penned by Gill, Brooks, Justin Randall Keitt, and Snoop Dogg (Calvin Broadus Jr.), instantly adding another certified hit to Gill’s expansive solo catalog.
To complement the single’s sophisticated sound, Gill enlisted visionary director Chris Robinson—renowned for his iconic visual work with Jay-Z, Usher, and Alicia Keys—to helm the official music video, which is out now.
Gill revealed that his recent time on the road directly fueled his creative drive to return to the recording booth.
“I love giving intimate storytelling through my music and this song is just that. You’re getting sexiness, seduction and more!” Gill explained. “I was inspired to go back into the studio after I got back off the road with ‘The New Edition Way Tour.’ ‘A Dance, A Kiss’ makes everything unforgettable. Grown folks’ music!”
The new No. 1 milestone directly follows the February chart success of Gill’s fan-favorite track, “One Night,” giving him his fifth overall Billboard No. 1 and cementing his continued dominance in the adult contemporary R&B space. With a staggering 28 entries on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart—including nine Top 10 records—and seven albums hitting the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Album charts, his legacy as a defining voice of the genre remains firmly intact.
“I am truly thankful, honored and speechless at the amount of love and support that this song has received,” Gill shared regarding the recent achievement. “I thank every radio station, every listener, every streamer and every Johnny Gill fan that truly helps keep my music alive. I thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
“A Dance, A Kiss” is available to stream and download now, and the official Chris Robinson-directed music video can be viewed on YouTube.

Chris Brown and Usher Perform Together After Reported Backstage Argument and 2½-Hour Atlanta Concert Delay
Chris Brown and Usher performed "Back to Sleep" together at their November 6 Atlanta concert, according to a November 7 report by TMZ. The appearance followed an opening night that left fans complaining about a long wait and questioning the relationship between the headliners.
In a November 6 report, TMZ cited unnamed sources who said the singers argued backstage ahead of their November 5 show at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Those sources said Usher wanted to begin while Brown preferred waiting for fans delayed by traffic.
In an Instagram Story reported by Complex on November 6, Brown wrote, "Internet 🧢. Don't fall for it." He did not name Usher or specify what he was referring to.
The Atlanta stop had expanded from two dates to five, creating a record booking for a single engagement at Mercedes-Benz Stadum. The previous record was Beyoncé's four concerts during her Cowboy Carter tour in 2025.
For the November 5 show, the stadium advertised a 7:30 p.m. start, but the headliners did not begin until around 10 p.m. In her firsthand review for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, DeAsia Paige reported that Usher's representatives said the planned performance time had been 8:30 p.m.
By 9 p.m., DJ Fresh, Brown's touring hype man, had been entertaining the crowd for nearly two hours, Paige wrote. At 9:45 p.m., stadium cameras showed a fan holding a phone with the message "Start the show."
Some attendees complained about sound quality and said the performances felt rushed, according to theGrio. The concert ended around midnight.
When Paige contacted Usher's team during the concert, a representative said they did not know what had caused the delay. She reported that neither artist's representatives answered her additional questions after the show.
The Opening Night Featured Separate Sets and Guest Rappers
Paige reported that Brown and Usher never shared the stage during the opener. The two have collaborated on "New Flame" and "Party," and joint performances had featured at other stops on the tour.
Usher performed "Yeah!," "U Don't Have to Call" and "Love in This Club." Brown's set included "Yo," "Ain't No Way" and "Say Goodbye," along with aerial effects during "Forever."
T.I. and Young Dro joined Usher for a guest segment that Paige estimated lasted nearly half an hour.

#RIPDoloresHuerta, the fearless civil rights icon who fought for farmworkers and women's rights, dies at 96
Dolores Huerta, whose decades of organizing helped workers secure better pay, benefits and protections, died at 96.
Huerta co-founded a farmworkers’ union and helped win benefits and bargaining rights.
Her “Sí, se puede!” rallying cry inspired Barack Obama’s “Yes We Can” slogan.
Before Dolores Huerta helped farmworkers demand better treatment, she was a teacher watching their children arrive at school hungry. Changing what happened outside the classroom became her life’s work.
The labor organizer and civil rights activist reportedly died Wednesday (Oct. 28) at 96. Family spokesperson Erik Olvera told The Associated Press that Huerta died of cancer at her Bakersfield, California, home, surrounded by family.
Her advocacy stretched across generations, connecting workers’ pay and protections with women’s equality, immigrant rights and political representation. Even in her 90s, she continued protesting and encouraging others to speak up about injustice, per AP.
In 1962, Huerta co-founded the National Farm Workers Association with César Chávez. The organization later became the United Farm Workers of America. Through strikes, boycotts and negotiations, she helped secure contracts that brought health coverage and other benefits to agricultural workers. Her organizing also helped build support for California’s landmark law recognizing farmworkers’ collective bargaining rights, the outlet reported.
The New Mexico native marked that movement with a rallying cry: “Sí, se puede!” The phrase carried a belief that people dismissed as powerless could organize their way toward change.
Former President Barack Obama, who adapted the slogan for his own campaign, honored her in a tribute on X. “Dolores Huerta was a hero of mine,” he wrote, crediting her with “helping thousands of migrant laborers working in brutal conditions make their voices heard and demand something better.”
His remembrance also addressed what she endured while advocating for others. “Dolores spent the rest of her life fighting for marginalized communities, even as she herself faced sexism and abuse — including, as she revealed earlier this year, from César Chávez and others within her own movement.” According to AP, Huerta disclosed that Chávez sexually abused her in the 1960s. She feared that speaking publicly would jeopardize the movement’s progress.
The 65-year-old also made sure she received her credit: “She also came up with a pretty good slogan, ‘Si, se puede’ — Yes, we can — that I too often get credit for. But as usual, Dolores got there first.”
Obama, who awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012, closed with a message of support: “Michelle and I are thinking of Dolores’s family, the people whose lives she changed, and everyone who drew inspiration from her example.”
Her influence remained visible in 2026. TIME named Huerta to its annual list of the world’s 100 most influential people. On April 23, she accepted a TIME100 Impact Award at the publication’s gala in New York. At 96, she was that year’s oldest TIME100 honoree.
Her acceptance speech challenged the pursuit of wealth and called for greater attention to humanity, service and healing. “Organizing at all levels is critical to make this happen, especially working people,” she said. “Always remember that workers are the foundation of our society and the foundation of our economy.”

Bill Cosby Faces Possible Contempt Hearing After $59M Trial Verdict
Attorneys for a woman who won a nearly $60 million verdict this spring in her lawsuit alleging that the actor/comedian sexually abused her more than 50 years ago while she was a server at a Sausalito restaurant are asking a judge to consider holding the comedian in contempt for allegedly ignoring post-verdict orders.
Donna Motsinger contended in her Santa Monica Superior Court sexual battery lawsuit that Cosby drugged and raped her. On March 23, a jury awarded her $19.25 million in compensatory damages and $40 million in punitive damages for a total of $59.25 million.
On Wednesday, Motsinger’s attorneys filed court papers with Judge Bradley S. Phillips asking that he consider holding Cosby in contempt for not responding to written questions about his assets. When Motsinger’s attorneys sought and obtained a court order on Oct. 9, Cosby ignored it as well as a $1,560 fine, according to the plaintiff’s attorneys’ court papers.
“Nothing was served and nothing was paid,” Motsinger’s attorneys state in their court papers. “Cosby did not seek an extension or provide an explanation. He simply disobeyed.”
A hearing on Motsinger’s contempt motion is scheduled Jan. 19, 2027.
In May, the judge denied Cosby’s attorneys’ motion for a new trial. In their court papers, the 89-year-old Cosby’s lawyers said they were wrongly barred from introducing police notes showing prior inconsistent statements by Motsinger and that by barring the plaintiff’s prior drug use the court “sanitized plaintiff” and casted her in a false light before the jury.
“Plaintiff’s own use of drugs is highly probative of whether she would have unknowingly consumed two round white pills, falsely believing them to be aspirin,” according to the Cosby’s lawyers’ pleadings.
According to Motsinger’s lawsuit, Cosby came into the Trident restaurant every day during a stretch of 1972. Motsinger worked there as a server and tended to Cosby at his table, the suit stated. One day when she was headed to her Mill Valley home he followed her, pulled up next to the plaintiff and asked her if she would like to attend a show he was performing in San Carlos, according to the complaint.
Motsinger agreed and Cosby said he would pick her up later, the suit stated. A limousine driver subsequently took Motsinger to the theater and on the way there Cosby gave her a glass of wine, the suit stated.
“She began to feel sick and Mr. Cosby gave her what she believed was an aspirin,” the suit stated, while adding that the next thing Motsinger knew she was going in and out of consciousness. The last thing Motsinger remembers were flashes of light and waking up at home wearing only her underwear, the suit filed in September 2023 stated.
“She knew she had been drugged and raped by Bill Cosby,” the suit stated.
Cosby’s attorneys said he did not remember any sexual contact with Motsinger, but if any occurred, it was consensual. The same lawyers also denied giving Motsinger drugs without her permission.
In June 2022, another Santa Monica civil jury found Bill Cosby liable for sexually abusing Judy Huth at the Playboy Mansion in 1975, when she was 16 years old. The panel awarded Huth $500,000.
Cosby was convicted in 2018 of sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004. He served three years in prison, but his conviction was overturned in 2021 and he was released from custody.

Media Mogul Byron Allen Turns $25 Million Starz Investment Into Nearly $45 Million Just Months After Buying Shares
Media mogul Byron Allen has secured a major payday after selling his entire ownership stake in Starz Entertainment, walking away with nearly $20 million in estimated gains just months after making the investment.
Through his investment company, Allen Family Capital, the billionaire businessman sold approximately 1.8 million shares, representing a 10.7% stake in the television and streaming company, according to Yahoo Finance.
Per securities filings disclosed on October 29, Allen sold the shares between August 7 and September 29, generating approximately $44.9 million.
The sale marks a significant return on his initial $25 million investment made in March. Allen reportedly purchased the shares for approximately $13.86 each from Liberty 77 Capital, an investment firm connected to former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
In just months, Allen earned an estimated $19.9 million before taxes and transaction expenses.
Interestingly, the sale comes after Allen previously expressed interest in purchasing Starz outright. His initial investment even prompted the company to adopt a shareholder rights plan designed to prevent an investor from taking control without board approval.
“When I’m ready to buy the company, I will buy the entire company,” Allen previously told The Wrap.
Despite those earlier ambitions, Allen has now completely exited his investment.
The transaction comes as Starz continues operating independently following its 2025 separation from Lionsgate.
With the sale finalized, Allen Family Capital no longer holds a reported ownership stake in the entertainment company.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom plans to commute all death sentences
Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday that he intends to commute all California death sentences, declaring that “state-sanctioned killing is incompatible with” values in America’s most populous state.
In an open letter to constituents, Newsom said taking the step is “among the most difficult of my career.”
“I take this action because I firmly believe that state-sanctioned killing is incompatible with California’s values,” he said.
California has not put a prisoner to death since Jan. 17, 2006, when Clarence Ray Allen was executed via lethal injection.
Newsom said his executive action would affect the “548 people now under death sentence in California,” making for “the largest death row in the Western Hemisphere.” The move, however, requires the state Supreme Court to approve resentencing in cases in which people have more than one felony conviction, which Newsom said amounts to 382 of the prisoners on death row.
“I respectfully request that the Court issue its recommendation by the end of this year so that I may act before the end of my term,” Newsom, who is term-limited and leaves office in January, wrote in a letter Thursday to the justices.
There were 561 inmates on death row as of Tuesday, according to Department of Corrections records. In 2019, when there were 737 inmates awaiting execution in the state, Newsom ordered a moratorium on all of those cases. In a statement at the time, he said the death penalty was discriminatory, provided no public safety benefit and wasted billions.
Richard Allen Davis, who was convicted in the murder of 12-year-old Polly Klaas in 1993, is one of the inmates still on California’s death row.
Polly had been abducted at knifepoint from her home in Petaluma, north of San Francisco, during a slumber party. The case drew national attention after it triggered a massive search that eventually led investigators to Davis, who then directed police to the girl’s body in a shallow grave.
Marc Klaas, Polly’s father, said Newsom’s decision is a “knife in the back” to him and other victims’ families who believe death row prisoners were lawfully sentenced.
“It’s unbelievably disappointing,” Klaas told NBC News. “I was told that when this guy was sentenced to death that this was a system we can trust. But here we are, 33 years later, and it’s a system we can’t trust.”
Newsom’s proposal was embraced by death penalty abolitionists, human rights advocates and faith communities.
“This is a day that will be remembered in California’s history and resonate globally for years to come,” Amnesty International USA Executive Director Nadia Daar said in a statement.
“The death penalty should be abolished, everywhere. Today marks a significant moment for human rights in California and across the country,” Daar said.
The president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers cited “countless” studies that she said show that the death penalty doesn’t deter crime and called the move a “decision of historic moral clarity and courage.”
“The death penalty is unjust, uncivilized, and inconsistent with the fallibility of our justice system,” Melissa “Missy” Owen said in a statement.
Since the U.S. Supreme Court ended a brief pause on capital punishment with its landmark 1976 ruling in Gregg v. Georgia, there have been 1,687 state executions, according to Death Penalty Information Center records.
Texas has carried out the most, 603, while California has carried out just 13.
“Governor Newsom’s announcement marks a decisive moment in the history of the death penalty in the United States,” Death Penalty Information Center Executive Director Robin Maher said in a statement. “Though other governors have granted universal clemencies, none have been at this scale.”
Newsom, a Democrat, is frequently mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2028, and the timing of his announcement isn’t lost on Klaas.
“We’re talking about serial killers, we’re talking about spree killers, we’re talking about cop killers, we’re talking about child killers,” Klaas said. “Why, two days after the midterms, does Gavin Newsom feel the need to commute these sentences? Who benefits from this?”
In a statement, the California District Attorneys Association condemned Newsom’s decision, saying he replaced individual sentencing decisions that were reached after extensive legal proceedings “with a single executive decision that makes no distinction among the crimes committed, the circumstances of the offenders or the victims whose lives were taken.”
“With the stroke of a pen, Governor Newsom has disregarded the decisions of hundreds of jurors and judges, and the anguish of families who lost loved ones to the worst crimes imaginable,” said the association’s president, Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni.
San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow said Newsom’s action is an affront to the families of victims, whose killers were brought to justice by his office.
“Governor Newsom just told the families of Rachel Newhouse, Aundria Crawford, Kesha Gurke and every other innocent victim of California’s 548 condemned killers that the killers’ lives matter more,” Dow said in a statement as immediate past president of the California District Attorneys Association.
“Juries chose justice case by case, voters chose it five times, and one outgoing governor is trying to erase it all with a pen. This is a sickening abuse of power,” he said.
Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday that he intends to commute all California death sentences, declaring that “state-sanctioned killing is incompatible with” values in America’s most populous state.In an open letter to constituents, Newsom said taking the step is “among the most difficult of my career.”
“I take this action because I firmly believe that state-sanctioned killing is incompatible with California’s values,” he said.
California has not put a prisoner to death since Jan. 17, 2006, when Clarence Ray Allen was executed via lethal injection.
Newsom said his executive action would affect the “548 people now under death sentence in California,” making for “the largest death row in the Western Hemisphere.” The move, however, requires the state Supreme Court to approve resentencing in cases in which people have more than one felony conviction, which Newsom said amounts to 382 of the prisoners on death row.

Druski Plays Elizabeth Holmes In 'You Can See Everything' Spoof During SNL Hosting Debut
Druski played Nathan Fielder's role and then Elizabeth Holmes in the "Dru Can See Everything" sketch, a parody of the A24 documentary You Can See Everything, during his Saturday Night Live hosting debut.
Druski is the first digital content creator to host SNL, fronting the fifth episode of Season 52 with The Strokes as musical guest and cameos from Emma Stone and James Talarico.
Druski is the first digital content creator to host SNL, fronting the fifth episode of Season 52 with The Strokes as musical guest and cameos from Emma Stone and James Talarico.
The A24 documentary directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim has earned $73.7 million against a reported $7 million budget and become a parody magnet, including a Late Night reenactment by Kate McKinnon and Seth Meyers.
Druski wore whiteface for the Holmes role, which echoes the backlash over his earlier sketch that Erika Kirk criticized, and he defended his comedy to CBS Mornings by saying, "I never go and punch down."
Druski is taking on the year's most talked-about documentary, using his first night hosting Saturday Night Live to step into Nathan Fielder's role and then play Elizabeth Holmes himself (complete with whiteface).
Druski just spoofed Nathan Fielder’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything on SNL and even broke out the whiteface
The sketch, titled "Dru Can See Everything," aired during Saturday night's episode and put Druski in Fielder's place in an alternate timeline where she reached out to Druski first. Halfway through, he switched to his own take on Holmes.
Druski hinted at his impending usage of whiteface in his monologue, joking that despite being told not to curse or paint his face, he couldn’t make any promises. He’s previously gone viral for dressing as Erika Kirk, the widow of murdered right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk.
Kirk called him out for "dressing up in whiteface," and President Donald Trump said she should "sue his ass off."
Druski has defended the characters. In an interview with CBS Mornings, he pointed to the comedians who came before him.
"The greats have done it like Eddie Murphy… Martin Lawrence," he said, adding, "I never go and punch down."
Druski is the first online content creator to host the show. The Strokes returned as musical guest for a fifth time and played "Lonely in the Future."
Emma Stone, who stars alongside Druski in the upcoming rom-com The Catch, made a cameo, as did Senator-elect James Talarico.
Next up is his Netflix series Collect & Praise, due in December. It arrives a month after he brought the whiteface approach that drew backlash from Kirk and others to the SNL stage.
Magic Johnson Celebrates 35 Years Since HIV Diagnosis: 'I Am Still Here and Thriving'
Magic Johnson marked 35 years since his HIV announcement by thanking God, family, friends and fans in a tweet.
Johnson announced his diagnosis and immediate retirement from the Lakers on November 7, 1991, confirming that his wife Cookie and their unborn child were HIV-negative.
The retired NBA player went public to challenge the misconception that heterosexual people faced no HIV risk and launched the Magic Johnson Foundation that year.
Magic Johnson has expressed gratitude for 35 years of life following his 1991 HIV diagnosis.
On Nov. 7, 1991, the then-NBA player called a press conference and retired from the Los Angeles Lakers on the spot after results from a physical showed that he tested positive for HIV. He said his wife, Earletha “Cookie” Johnson, then-pregnant, and their child were HIV-negative, and he promised to "battle this deadly disease."
“Look at how far God has brought me since my HIV announcement 35 years ago! It is truly because of His grace and mercy that I am still here and thriving,” Johnson wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
"God never gave up on me, and I kept the faith," he continued. "I am thankful for all of the prayers from my family, friends, and fans throughout the years, and I am a living witness that there's nothing too hard for God."

In 1991, HIV was widely believed to be exclusively a disease affecting gay men and drug users, and the life-saving "triple bNAb cocktail" therapy was five years away from being developed. The retired professional basketball player went public with his diagnosis to shatter the misconception that straight people weren’t at risk. In the same year, the athlete started the Magic Johnson Foundation to fight the virus and to uphold community philanthropy.
In 2024, Johnson appeared on CBS Mornings to recount being diagnosed with HIV, telling anchor Robin Roberts that he was fearful of dying. "I had to really learn a lot about the disease, HIV as well as AIDS. I had to make sure that I was open-minded enough to ask a lot of questions, go get a lot of information from different people," he said at the time.
Gabourey Sidibe Confronts Raven-Symoné About Their Past Tension on Her Podcast
Gabourey Sidibe confronted Raven-Symoné about past tension during a new episode of the Tea Time podcast.
The Oscar-nominated actress confronted the Disney Channel star about how she felt slighted by her during their time working together briefly years ago.
The That’s So Raven actress even admitted she did feel “jealous” of Gabourey after she found success with her 2009 Oscar-winning movie Precious from director Lee Daniels.
What did Gabourey Sidibe say happened between her and Raven?
Gabourey claimed Raven treated her like she “didn’t like” her, which is why she bluntly said, “Girl, I didn’t think you liked me.”
Raven‘s wife, Miranda Pearman-Maday, chimed in to speculate if Gabourey was talking about Empire. Gabourey starred on the hit Fox series. She was recurring in the first season and then was promoted to regular status in season 2 onward.
Raven guest-starred in a couple of season 1 episodes.
“I was told that you made some people promise to not be friends with me,” Gabourey said. “I was told that you made some folks promise not to be friends with me.” The podcast censored out the names of who they were referring to.
The Precious star also claimed she went to a restaurant in Chicago and got the sense that Raven was “put off” by her.
You might be pronouncing these 20 celebrity names incorrectly.
How did Raven respond?
Miranda defended her wife, saying Raven can be “shady,” and even “petty,” but she’s not “the type of person who would ever go behind someone’s back and be like, ‘Don’t be friends with her.'”
“She doesn’t have that much energy to give to someone else or something else,” Miranda added.
Raven then chimed in, “What I would say is like, ‘Don’t bring her around me,” and admitted she used to have “a lot of chips on my shoulders.”
Miranda also believes her wife and cohost can also come off as “very cold and very distant” when she’s unsure about someone or a situation.

Donald Trump Offers UFC President Dana White Press Secretary Role: ‘Please Take the Job!’
President Donald Trump is still trying to fill the position of White House Press Secretary.
Last month, Katie Zacharia was fired from the role after only holding the position for five days.
In a post shared on his Truth Social on Saturday (November 7), Trump, 80, revealed that he offered the Press Secretary job to UFC President Dana White.
“I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States,” Trump wrote along with several photos of UFC fighters.
“I have requested that he bring with him assistants, even though some are not from our Country, of Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris,” he continued. “We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left. Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other.”
“Dana, please take the job!” Trump concluded his message.
As of right now, it’s unclear if this an actual job offer Dana, 57, as the White House has not shared an official comment. Dana also has not publicly addressed Trump‘s plea to take the job
Trump, who is a big fan of UFC, has been friends with Dana for years. Back in June, the UFC hosted the Freedom 250 fight on the South Lawn of the White House in honor of Trump‘s 80th birthday.
It was recently speculated that Nicki Minaj was in consideration to be the next Press Secretary after she joined Trump at a rally.
After the Democrats swept the Midterm Elections earlier this week, Trump made a major change to his administration.
