24kGoldn and Iann Dior’s “Mood” has hit No. 1 for the first time on the Billboard Hot 100, after spending 10 weeks on the charts. The tune is the first top 10 hit and the first chart-topper for both musicians. 24kGoldn and Iann Dior’s Mood has become a cross-genre success, giving the hip-hop duo the top spot on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Alternative Songs (a newly-introduced breakout from the main ranking) and Hot Rap Songs chart, which it tops for the first time this week.

“Mood” replaces last week’s No. 1, Jason Derulo, Jawsh 685 and BTS’s “Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat),” which slipped from No. 1 to No. 6.

Oscar-winning actor Jeff Bridges revealed on Twitter Monday night that he’d been diagnosed with lymphoma. The 70-year-old actor said his doctors say his “prognosis is good” and will start treatment.

Bridges tweeted, “As the Dude would say.. New S**T has come to light. I have been diagnosed with lymphoma. Although it is a serious disease, I feel fortunate that I have a great team of doctors, and the prognosis is good. I’m starting treatment and will keep you posted on my recovery.” Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s germ-fighting network.

Bridges thanked everyone for their love and support and reminded them to vote, saying, “I’m profoundly grateful for the love and support from my family and friends,” Bridges added. “Thank you for your prayers, and well wishes. And, while I have you, please remember to go vote. Because we are all in this together. Vote.org. Love, Jeff.”

Lady Gaga will be back on the big screen after landing the leading role in Ridley Scott’s new film, Gucci.

Reggiani and Gucci had two daughters together, Allegra and Alessandra, before Gucci left Reggiani for a younger woman in 1985 after 12 years of marriage. They were officially divorced by 1991. In March 1995, Maurizio Gucci was murdered and almost two years later in 1997, Reggiani was arrested for arranging the killing and was subsequently charged and sentenced to 29 years.

The film adaption of Gucci, written by Roberto Bentivegna, is based on the the book, The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed by Sara Gay Forden.

Gucci will begin filming March, 2021 in Italy, and is currently set for a November, 2021 release.
