By Sydney Scott · Updated October 24, 2020

Here’s everything you need to know:

Beyoncé will reportedly change things up for the second weekend of Coachella, unfortunately, fans won’t be able to see the performance. Mijo Ratti, who served as one of Bey’s dancers for the festival’s first weekend, confirmed that there would be a few changes to the set. However, YouTube has confirmed that the second weekend of Coachella will not be streamed. (Variety, Billboard)

Do not come for the Clark Sisters. Wendy Williams learned the hard way that the gospel community is not to be messed with after she slandered the Clark Sisters during an episode of her show. While discussing Snoop Dogg’s new gospel album, Williams asked her audience: “If I were the Clark Sisters, would I be mad that Snoop got to number one?” Stars like Kirk Franklin, Michelle Williams, and Kierra Sheard defended the group calling the legendary singers “one of the most influential groups of all time.” Williams later apologized and invited the legendary group on her show. (Vibe)

Clark Sisters, I love you and hope to see you on the show soon! XO, WW

An Arkansas judge is speaking out about the state’s death penalty. Pulaski County Circuit Judge Wendell Griffen took part in a vigil and demonstration outside of the Governor’s Mansion on Tuesday, which marked the one-year anniversary of the state carrying out eight executions in two weeks. It was a controversial decision as many of the inmates executed suffered from mental illness. Griffen has been barred from presiding over death penalty cases and has accused the state’s Supreme Court of racism, filing a civil rights lawsuit over the decision. (Arkansas Online)

Ray J and Princess Love have landed a VH1 baby special, which the pair will also produce. The two-hour special will include the moments leading up to the birth of the couple’s first child. (TMZ)
