The 2023 Emmys Are Postponed
As expected, the Emmys have been postponed following Hollywood's double strike. There's no official word on a rescheduled date, but the broadcast could land in November or January.
Variety says an announcement is expected in early August, so we'll know soon enough. Still, that gives you plenty of time to refresh yourself on the Emmy nominees.

Not quite music, but we didn't know how else to categorize the launch of Cher's ... gelato brand. That's right, Cher has a gelato brand, and it's aptly called Cherlato. Cher wrote on Instagram that this "all started 5 years ago," and it became real today: a Cherlato truck was parked on Melrose Avenue in Los Angles giving customers a first taste, with flavors like "Chocolate XO Cher!" and "Breakfast At Cher's Coffee & Donuts."
