Bad Bunny performs onstage during the 19th annual Latin GRAMMY Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on Nov. 15, 2018 in Las Vegas.
Jimmy Fallon loves Puerto Rico, and he showed it in his own inimitable way on Tuesday as The Tonight Show visited the island and honed in on its culture.
The entire episode was an ode to Puerto Rico, and one of the magical moments saw the late night host take to the streets of Old San Juan with Questlove, Black Thought and the homegrown star Bad Bunny for a rousing performance to the singer’s hit "MIA." It’s just one big party of sounds, colors and locals, and by the end of the clip, you’ll wish you were there.

On Wednesday (Feb. 18), Vanilla Ice
was arrested by Florida police and charged with stealing items from a
vacant Florida residence. The rapper and TV host faces burglary and
grand theft charges for allegedly removing furniture, bicycles and a
pool heater from a vacant home under foreclosure sometime during
December 2014 and February 2015.
According to the Lantana, Fla., police department, Vanilla Ice (real
name Robert Van Winkle) is renovating a home adjacent to the burglarized
property (TMZ reports this renovation is part of Vanilla Ice's DIY/HGTV show The Vanilla Ice Project).
After the items were reported missing, police obtained a search warrant
and found "the stolen items... at a residence under the care and
control of Van Winkle," according to the Lantana police report. Van Winkle voluntarily met with officers after the items were
recovered and returned to the original owner. Based on his statements
and evidence collected, Van Winkle was charged with residential burglary
and grand theft. As of press time, he's currently in police custody and being processed.
Michelle Branch has reportedly filed for divorce from her husband Teddy Landau, after separating more than a year ago.
Michelle Branch: The Making of New Album 'West Coast Time' (Exclusive Video)
Branch and Landau had been married for nearly 11 years, TMZ reports. The singer-songwriter cites "irreconcilable differences" as the cause.
The gossip website reports that Branch filed the paperwork without a
lawyer -- suggesting an amicable split -- and said she wants joint
custody of their 9-year-old daughter, Owen Isabelle.
Ariana Grande's new video has been accused of lifting the concept from another clip released last year by the Australian group SAFIA.
Grande's "One Last Time" is directed by Max Landis and premiered earlier this week. It opens with static and a brief argument between the pop star and another man. The camera follows Ariana as she steps from a car and wonders through panicked street crowds as meteors rain down from purple skies. As the clip reaches its climax, the singer gets-in one last kiss before the planet seemingly meets its fate.
Watch Ariana Grande Face Deadly Comet in 'One Last Time' Video
Members of Canberra's indie/electronica group SAFIA were drawn to its thematic similarities with their own clip, "You Are The One," which was directed by Jimmy Ennett from Crux Media and posted to YouTube last September. The Aussie video opens with static and a brief argument, after which a young woman leaves a car and runs through panicked streets as meteors rain down from purple skies. As the promo reaches its climax, the couple who had argued earlier find the time for a final embrace as the planet takes a pummelling.
SAFIA, comprised of Ben Woolner, Michael Bell and Harry Sayers, took issue with Ariana's clip, which the band members said had "reworked the concept a little bit and then straight up stolen and copied some bits." In a Facebook page, the band wrote, "This might just be coincidence but to us it looks like either the people at Ariana Grande's label or the film maker have seen our clip for 'You Are The One' & reworked the concept a little bit and then straight up stolen and copied some bits...(ESPECIALLY THE END!)." The message continues, "Wouldn't be the first time uncreative talentless fucks from big labels and/or big film firms steal ideas from small independent creatives who are trying really hard to make something different for a change."
On Wednesday, after reportedly receiving death threats via social media, the group changed it tone. The battle is now off. It's been a "really weird 72 hours and things have escalated very quickly regarding the Ariana Grande video situation," the new post reads adding that "there's no way of ever proving whether Ariana's clip was influenced by 'You Are The One' and it genuinely may have just been a coincidence." The band members continue: "We're not after Ariana, Max or their label either, we were simply voicing our concerns in what is sometimes a common occurrence in the music industry."
