The US Senate approved a bill to help regulate the wild world of the NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) era of college sports.YouTube now has streaming rights to Coachella through 2030. So in the future, if you want to watch Justin Bieber singing along to his old YouTube videos, you'll also have to be on YouTube.The MTV VMAs took place this weekend.

Taylor Swift released four new songs today as part of her The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore album, including a song called "Cleveland!" CNN, MS NOW, and Politico are suing the Trump administration on First Amendment grounds to regain White House access. President Trump said the ban was due to "negative coverage." After 23 weeks, Ella Langley's song "Choosin' Texas" has been crowned the longest-running No. 1 U.S. hit of all time. A new app called ScrollEd is turning textbooks into TikTok-inspired FYP feeds full of summaries and micro-quizzes. Purple, plaid, and zebra print are in for fall, according to InStyle. Skinny jeans are also back. We're sorry.
