Well, whose boy is it? Ariana Grande called on legends Brandy and Monica for a remix of her Eternal Sunshine track, “The Boy Is Mine,” released on Friday (June 21).

The two R&B superstars spent 13 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1998 with the original “The Boy Is Mine.” Grande announced the remix earlier in the week, writing alongside an Instagram teaser for the track: “i ……… cannot believe this is real (i don’t know if i will even long after it’s out),” before continuing, “my deepest and sincerest thank you to Brandy and Monica, not only for joining me for this moment, but for your generosity, your kindness, and for the countless ways in which you have inspired me. it is near impossible to say how much this means to me. this is in celebration of you both and the impact that you have had on every vocalist, vocal producer, musician, artist that is creating today.”

John Mulaney Postpones Minneapolis Shows Following ICE Killing of Renee Nicole Good: ‘What’s Happening in Your City Is Heartbreaking’

Comedian said it "doesn't sit right" to ask fans to come out amid the turmoil over the incident that spurred massive anti-ICE protests across the country on Thursday (Jan. 8).

Comedian John Mulaney informed fans on Thursday (Jan. 8) that he was postponing his planned shows at the Armory in Minneapolis this weekend because it “doesn’t sit right” with him to put his audience at risk after the Trump administration surged 2,000 agents into the city as part of its nationwide immigration enforcement blitz.

“What’s happening in your city is heartbreaking,” wrote Mulaney, who is in the midst of his Mister Whatever comedy tour. “I hate to postpone shows in a town going through such awful challenges and such grief, because it feels unfair to the audience. Still, I don’t feel comfortable asking thousands of people each night to leave their homes, gather at the venue, and then make their way home when the situation is so unsafe.”
