California got a little bit more of Lana Del Rey this weekend, with her making an unannounced appearance at Stagecoach following two weekends of headlining Coachella. Paul Cauthen welcomed the Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd songstress to the stage for a stirring rendition of “Unchained Melody” on Friday (April 27).



Del Rey and Cauthen crooned the classic that became a hit recording for the Righteous Brothers in 1965 — and was also famously performed by Elvis Presley in 1977, just two months before his death — during Cauthen’s set at the first night of the Indio, California, festival.



“He decided he wanted me to do a nice slow one to finish it off,” Del Rey, who joined Cauthen at the end of his set, said to the crowd.



Stagecoach shared the video below of the pair’s performance Friday night.

And on Saturday, Del Rey uploaded a short video of their duet.



“Just lovin life with @paulcauthen,” she captioned the post. She also uploaded photos from their day.



Cauthen posted pictures and a clip from their performance on Instagram as well, writing, “Thank you @stagecoach! Y’all were electric this year. Thank you @honeymoon for sharing the stage with me for this special moment. Thank you to my team for your support through this whole process. Y’all, we are just getting started!”



Del Rey, who has a country album called Lasso in the works, sang “Unchained Melody” last year for Christmas at Graceland, NBC’s holiday special celebrating the legacy of Elvis Presley. Cauthen previously covered the classic with Orville Peck, with the pair performing as their act The Unrighteous Brothers.



See Lana hitting a heavenly note on the Stagecoach stage with Cauthen.

BOSSIP Exclusive: Zendaya, Josh O'Connor & Mike
Faist Talk Sexy Tennis Drama 'Challengers,' Tren

Social media is buzzing over provocative tennis drama Challengers that smolders with shady shenanigans, hilariously messy moments, and explosive exchanges between deeply flawed characters played by Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist.

We caught up with the talented trio to talk Hollywood’s movie-of-the-moment, trending ‘villain’ Tashi Duncan, and more. Check out our interview below:

Directed by Luca Guadagnino, Challengers stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan–a former tennis prodigy-turned-winning-obsessed coach who’s unapologetically #TeamTashi on and off the court.

Married to a champion down on his luck (Mike Faist), Tashi’s strategy for her husband’s redemption takes an unexpected turn when he faces off against his washed up ex-BFF Patrick (Josh O’Connor) who’s also Tashi’s ex-boyfriend.

As their pasts and presents collide, Tashi is forced to ask herself how far she’s willing to go and what she’s willing to do to win.


“Typically, I play the person that ultimately is easier to empathize with,” said Zendaya in her cover story interview with VOGUE. “There was something about her that felt very, ‘Oh, damn.’ “Even I was kind of scared of her.”


Check out the trailer below:



Once again making magic with famed stylist Law Roach, Zendaya served up tennis-inspired slays while commanding carpets as Hollywood’s leading-lady-of-the-moment on the global Challengers press tour.

With the biggest film of 2024 (so far) and her ‘villainous’ character making audiences clutch their pearls, we’re sure Zendaya will continue to be the topic of discussion in the coming weeks.


“Here’s the thing I liked about Tashi: Yes, things have happened to her that have hardened her, but at the end of the day, this is just who she is,” she said in an interview with Variety.



“There wasn’t a defining moment that made her this way. Her showing up just to wield her power over these two young men is indicative of that. She’s always been aware of her power and how to manipulate that over others. Which isn’t really healthy, but she’s always been aware of it. It just used to be just for fun.



As she gets older, it becomes a means of survival and getting through life. Before, it was something she did just because she could do it, flexing this skill of hers, seeing how far she can push people. Testing people. Seeing what she can get away with or get them to do. How manipulative she can be. She’s messy, but it’s at a time in her life where she can be. And it’s for fun. It’s not until later in her life that it’s not fun.”



Yall. This movie was so?? Like omg I never thought a movie could make me dislike zendaya .. but yall this movie made me not only dislike her BUT FEEL BAD FOR WHITE MEN?? Like I’m so mad. Also why the ginger— oop let me be quiet but yeah them previews not doing him justice. https://t.co/0d2SShKbCR

Divorce Proceedings Are Heating Up! Jeannie Mai Reveals
Images Of Jeezy With A Gun Amid Custody Batt


Nearly a year after filing for divorce, Jeezy and Jeannie Mai are still battling it out in court. New court filings show evidence of the allegations of child abuse, neglect, and domestic violence, and Jeannie recently revealed the gun-toting receipts to back it up. From the looks of things, these allegations are just the beginning of a long and nasty legal battle.

As BOSSIP reported, Jay Jenkins, aka Jeezy, filed for divorce from Jeannie Mai on Sept. 14, 2023. Since the announcement, each party has made several allegations. Not only are the two battling a messy divorce, but the former couple have a two-year-old daughter they are fighting for custody over. Jeezy reportedly filed for joint custody along with his divorce filings.

Divorce proceedings between the two were seemingly calm until October 2023. According to RadarOnline, Mai grew increasingly concerned for her daughter’s safety after their daughter, Monaco, found an AK-47 in her dad’s Louis Vuitton bag. As a result, Mai and Monaco left the Atlanta home they shared as a family.

In the court documents, the mother of one also stated the same gun was sitting next to the bed for anyone, including their daughter, to access. It was also alleged that Jeezy would often walk around their home toting the AK-47. The court documents show photo evidence of these claims.

 

BOSSIP also reported Jeezy nixed his decision to file for joint custody. After Mai left the home with Monaco, he requested the judge grant him primary custody so that she could have more stability.

Jeannie Mai Claims Jeezy Was Abusive Towards Her During Their Marriage

The former The Real co-host provided a statement from staff inside the home. They stated they witnessed Jeezy leave bullets in locations like the kitchen, which could be a choking hazard for their daughter. Mai feels that these are reasonable grounds for their daughter not to be in the home as a response to Jeezy’s claims of “gatekeeping” their daughter.

Allegations of abuse also extend to Jeannie, who claims that Jeezy has put her in danger numerous times. She alleges that Jeezy choked her from behind and then pushed her down the stairs while they visited the Ritz Carlton in San Fransico on April 12, 2022.

Mai also provided receipts of text messages between her and her estranged husband in which he was apologizing for putting her in danger. This came after Jeezy allegedly caused a golf cart crash while driving drunk.

The rapper responded to his ex, denying the accusations of neglect and abuse as “false” and “deeply disturbing.”


“This malicious attempt to tarnish my character and disrupt my family is ridiculous. It‘s disheartening to witness the manipulation and deceit at play and at this time my main concern is being an active father to our daughter as I continue to fight for court mandated joint custody,” he said in a statement.


Although Jeezy and Jeannie Mai signed a prenup, this battle is far from over.

Los Angeles-based musician mk.gee played back-to-back sold out shows this week at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood, and the performances were no-frills: no opener, no banter, no visuals.



In fact, mk.gee could hardly be seen amidst the spotlight placed directly behind him for the entire show on Wednesday (April 24). He let his music do all of the talking instead, and while this description might sound uninspired, the real effect was anything but. mk.gee’s performance was more captivating and enigmatic than even his recorded music — a show that kept the spotlight fixed on the artist’s work rather than the artist himself.



After releasing his latest album, Two Star and the Dream Police, on Feb. 9, mk.gee (real name: Mike Gordon) has been amassing his own brand of mysterious indie stardom. He’s always been a musician’s musician, beloved by everyone from Frank Ocean to Anderson .Paak dating back to 2018’s sunnier album Pronounced McGee. But the singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer had yet to hit the radar of many current listeners until Two Star debuted.



This is likely because he keeps to himself. It’s clear mk.gee is not chasing algorithms or clout or money. He rarely does interviews or shows his whole face in photos. The most he’s ever been seen really was when he played guitar in Dijon’s music videos for Absolutely, the acclaimed 2021 album that he co-wrote and co-produced, or the recent time he played on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Even then, viewers in the YouTube comment section were calling him a “Batman of Music.”



It’s refreshing — and shocking — to see a musician like mk.gee in 2024, and his elusiveness and focus on his craft is not something I believed could still work in an era of shameless and constant self-promotion. With mk.gee, the music is enough. What a relief that is.



He came with just two bandmates (Andrew Aged and Zack Sekof), a hard set-up to pull off, especially when the focal point of the performance is on the musicality of the artist on stage. Playing through songs from Two Star, the three musicians improvised over the tracks, patiently and incisively, bringing new emotional heft to songs that already oozed with it to begin with. Sometimes this would go on for minutes longer than the recorded version’s run time, especially after “Are You Looking Up” which marked the end of the set before he came back for an encore, and it was always felt like a gift to hear the trio keep going.



If the set could be compared to anyone else’s, it would probably be that of musical polymath James Blake or of Bon Iver’s 22, A Million performances, which have similarly used backlighting and an artful mix of programmed and ad-libbed playing.



While I was hoping to hear some tracks from Pronounced McGee and The Museum of Contradiction (2020), mk.gee’s set was much more uniform as simply a showcase of Two Star songs, and I could forgive those exclusions for the sonic consistency this choice brought to the show. All in all, mk.gee’s was an incredibly focused, sparse presentation that kept his musicianship centerstage at all times. It’s a must-see for concert lovers, especially those who seek live talent over visual pageantry.



See the setlist for mk.gee’s L.A. show on April 24 below.



“New Low”



“How Many Miles”



“Dream Police”



“You got It”



“Rylee & I”



“Dimeback”



“Candy”



“I Want”



“Are You Looking Up”







“Alesis”



“Candy”
