Where to Party For St. Patrick's Day in Detroit
There will be plenty of places to enjoy some green beer for St. Patrick's Day this weekend.
St. Patrick's Day is on Sunday, and even though the Detroit St. Patrick's Day parade happened last weekend, there are plenty of other places to go.
You can go to Royal Oak St. Patty's Day parade, Saturday from noon until 1:00 PM.
Of course, there's the Old Shillelagh downtown on Monroe. That's an iconic spot. They kick off Sunday at 7:00 AM and they always have a ton of stuff going on, an outdoor tent and more.
And Mean Jean & The Bounce Squad will be at Hamlin's Pub in Clarkston from 10:00 AM until 1:00 PM. Go and party with Mean Jean and you could also win some concert tickets while he's out there.
Also, a heads-up for drivers, the Lodge is going to be closed between I-75 and Grand River. So, if you are heading downtown for the festivities and stuff, know that you're going to be detoured. Plan ahead. That closure is going to affect downtown traffic from 8:00 PM Friday until Monday at 5:00 AM.

Lil Mama Breaks Silence About Her Infamous VMA Moment
All these years later, Lil Mama still get comments about jumping onstage with Jay-Z & Alicia Keys at the MTV Video Music Awards.
More than 15 years later, we finally hear from Lil Mama about her infamously iconic VMA moment when she hopped on stage with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys while they were performing their hit "Empire State of Mind". If you don't remember, here's a clip. You'll notice Beyoncé trying to hold her back...
In a recent interview, Lil Mama talked about the backlash she received and said, “I was hurt, I was depressed. I was like, ‘What’s going on?’ You got everybody telling you you’re doing bad. People pointing at you like, ‘What did you do?'”
You can see her tearing up in the video. It clearly still affects her to this day. There's sometimes I say something, put my foot in my mouth, and I still think about it years later. So, I get it. Here's a clip of Lil Mama addressing that moment...
NSYNC Perform With Justin Timberlake
Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, JC Chasez, and Chris Kirkpatrick joined Justin Timberlake onstage at his concert in L.A. for an NSYNC reunion.
Justin Timberlake played a show in L.A. Wednesday night, and 20 years after NSYNC broke up, they came out with him to perform.
The crowd's reaction was crazy, including a lot of stars who were in the audience, like Chrissy Teigan and Travis Kelsey. The group performed "Bye Bye Bye" together and the new song, "Paradise", that they did with Justin for his new album.
This was their first performance with all five band members since their reunion at the 2013 VMAs. Check out the crowd reaction when NSYNC came out below...

Megan Thee Stallion: 7 Hottest Red Carpet Looks
Megan Thee Stallion is always one to look for on a red carpet. The Houston native's style has evolved over the years, and she has continuously outdone herself each time.
Megan Thee Stallion Celebrated First Solo No. 1 With "HISS"
2024 is off to a good start with Megan as she celebrated her first solo No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "HISS."
"Thank you thank you thank you ! Thank you GOD, Thank you MAMA HOLLY, Thank you to EVERYONEEEEE that took the time out of their week to go hard and make this happen!" Megan wrote thanking her supporters on X (formerly known as Twitter.) "I love you I appreciate you I’m so grateful likeeee #HISS is number 1 !!! Thank you for RUNNING IT UP HOTTIES Let’s keep going hard and staying positive ! Love yall."
The track most notably took a shot at Nicki Minaj, who responded back with "Big Foot," referencing Megan being shot in the foot by Tory Lanez. He was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2023.
Despite the beef, Megan was able to achieve history with this accomplishment, becoming the third female rapper to get a solo No. 1 on the chart. First was Lauryn Hill in 1998 for "Doo Wop (That Thing)" and Nicki Minaj in 2022 for "Super Freaky Girl."
Megan Teases Tour and New Album In 2024
Megan fans have something to look forward to coming this summer.
"Oh, we’re having the tour this year. The Hot Girl Summer tour is going to be 2024, summertime,” she said on Good Morning America in January. "I feel like I’ve never been able to be outside doing my own thing during the summer since, like, 2019."
In addition to the tour, the rapper announced that she will drop her third studio album in time for the summer tour.
While we get ready for a tour and album, take a look at seven of Megan's most breathtaking red carpet outfits below:

The rapper wore a mixed print one-shoulder dress that had a combination of cheetah, leopard, and zebra print. When you say it out loud, it might sound a little bizarre that a dress like this would make the best dressed list, but that's why we're thankful for the visual Megan gave us. The "Savage" rapper paired it with scrappy black heels and oversized gold jewelry. For her hair, the Houston native went with a signature sleek, straight, jet-black middle part, and her eye makeup matched the dress's various color schemes. She was nominated for Best Rap Performance for "Thot S---" and for Album of the Year for her contribution to Lil Nas X's <em>Montero.</em>

The "Plan B" rapper wore a mesh black bandeau dress that hugged her body perfectly. The dress had added panels to give it more shape, which set it off from being basic. As for jewelry, she wore blinding diamond accessories, which included a bracelet and statement choker. Her hair was jet black and straight, which was pulled back, and her eye makeup featured an intense smokey eye.

For the 66th Grammy Awards Pre-Grammy Gala, Megan wore a golden yellow halter-style dress. The dress had a jeweled neckline and two cutouts on both sides. For her hair, she kept it long, dark, and wavy. For accessories, she also kept it pretty simple with a single diamond bangle.

The Houston native was one of the recipients of the award along with actress Mariska Hargitay, poet Amanda Gorman, and more. Megan wore a black high-neck gown with her midriff being the literal center of attention, exposing her abs. She paired the striking dress with a silver clutch and black and silver-toned earrings. She decided to keep her hair in a top bun with a bang to the left side.

For the premiere of the <em>Mean Girls</em> reboot, Megan channeled Regina George and switched up her dark hair for blonde. She also wore a gorgeous purple iridescent mermaid gown with embellishments in the middle to show off her slightly exposed midriff. She was not only a guest for the film, but she contributed to the soundtrack with Reneé Rapp, who plays Regina George in the reboot with the song "Not My Fault."

The form-fitting, see-through brown mermaid dress looked impeccable on the rapper. The dress had so many details, such as the various cutouts, bead embellishments, and delicate lining. For her hair, she wore it up with soft waved curls focused on the left side of her face. The jewelry on the rapper if any was unnoticeable as the dress spoke for itself.

(Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images)We're pretty sure everyone stopped what they were doing once Megan showed up at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party last year. It was the rapper's first public appearance since the incident with Tory Lanez, who was sentenced to 10 years for shooting her in the foot in 2020. The rapper not only turned heads because of her surprise appearance but also because of her striking dress. Starting off with the dress, the rapper wore a strapless black gown in a mermaid style. Megan kept the jewelry to a minimum, wearing a diamond ring and a single-tier diamond necklace. However, her hair stole the show. The Houston native rocked her natural curls, which added to her breathtaking appearance.
