Many things have happened this week. But don’t worry, I won’t tell you anything sad — just an update on all things entertainment. 

Sanders Steals Biden’s Spotlight for a Day

After this week’s Inauguration of President Joe Biden, Senator Bernie Sanders stole the show. After the day’s festivities, a picture of Sanders all bundled up — it must’ve been cold — went viral. Many have edited Sanders in funny situations, such as boxing rings and beauty salons, which are only to name the PG versions. The internet is a weird, yet great place. 

A Celebrity Has Come out of the Closet

Jojo Siwa, a celebrity in some eyes, came out of the closet in a TikTok video. In the video, she sings Lady Gaga’s song, “Born This Way.” Everyone freaked out — happily, that is — in embracing who she is. 

Some Reality TV drama to fill the Void

If you’re anything like me and enjoy brainless television, controversial “Bachelorette” couple Clare Crawley and Dale Moss aren’t a couple anymore. Shocking, I know. However, new juicy rumors have sparked which suggest Moss was cheating throughout the engagement. With Crawley being the oldest bachelorette, we would’ve thought she would know a fame-seeker when she sees one? 

New Goodies to Treat Yourself

If you’re looking to treat yourself or anyone in your life, YouTuber Jackie Aina, CEO of comfort luxury brand FORVR MOOD is gearing up to release a new Valentine-themed collection. 

The new collection is called Adore U 4R, which includes four new candle scents and a mini collection. Minis are great. Not only are they adorable, but they serve as a test run before committing to a full size. The names and scents are listed below as detailed on the FORVR MOOD Instagram page:

Champagne Wasted — with a base scent of vanilla and heliotrope, its top notes are pink champagne, strawberry and peach. At the heart of the smell magnolia and rose. 

Heartbreaker — with a base scent of musk, vanilla and sandalwood, its top notes are strawberry and peach. At the heart of the smell is heliotrope and jasmine. 

Phero-Moans — with a base scent of musk and plum, its top notes are strawberry, pink champagne and citrus. At the heart of the smell are apples and jasmine. 

Sweet Spot — with a base scent of musk, its top notes are orange and chocolate. At the heart of the smell are gardenia, coconut and jasmine.

Music to Add your playlist and to Look Forward Too

Billie Eilish and Rosalia have collaborated to make the beautiful track, “Lo Vas A Olvidar,” which came as a surprise, as the announcement only came this week. A music video featuring both artists released with the single, and already has 14 million views on YouTube. As both artists have a strong cult following, I wouldn’t be surprised if that view count has greatly increased. 

I’m going to leave you with some sad news, with hopes that next week will bring us some new highlights. As for the sad news; Drake’s new album, “Certified Lover Boy,” will not be released this month. Last month, Drake shared pictures of him working on the album, the internet grew excited. Many fans (including myself) noticed he looked sad. Translation: this new album should be great. 

Hopefully we will have the Drake album by Valentine’s Day.
