2023 Golden Globe Awards were a hit with a sea of superstars gracing the event. The event marked a special achievement for Indian Cinema since ‘RRR’ became the first ever Indian movie to win a Golden Globe Award for their song ‘Natu Natu’. Some of music’s biggest names were nominated, and you wouldn’t believe who finally won those awards. Big names like Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Selena Gomez went back home empty handed, so who actually won these awards? Here's a list of the night’s biggest winners!

David Bowie’s 1973 iconic album ‘Aladdin Sane’ is set for a special 50th anniversary reissue. The reissue, which is set to be released on 14th April, will be put out as a half-speed mastered LP and a picture disc LP pressed from the same master.  It's the follow-up to 1972’s ‘The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars’. ‘Aladdin Sane’ was produced in the wake of his post-Ziggy stardom, most of the tracks were written while he was on tour in the US.  According to a statement, the new pressing was “cut on a customised late Neumann VMS80 lathe with fully recapped electronics from 192kHz restored masters of the original master tapes, with no additional processing on transfer.” John Webber at London’s AIR Studios cut the half-speed record.

50 Cent announced that he is collaborating with Eminem to adapt the 2002 film ‘8 Mile’ into a TV series.  “I’m gonna bring his 8 Mile to television,” the rapper said in an interview. “We’re in motion”, he said before confirming Eminem’s involvement.  “It’s gonna be big. I ain’t got no duds. I’m battin’ a hundred, I’m battin’ a hundred,” he continued, seemingly referring to his Starz series ‘Power’ as well as its various spinoffs ‘Power Book II: Ghost’, ‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan’ and ‘Power Book IV: Force’. The rapper also had a role in the 2020 ABC legal drama ‘For Life’ for the entirety of its two-season run.

Eminem reportedly turned down $8million to perform at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. 50 Cent recently confirmed this. The FIFA World Cup received widespread criticism ever since it kicked off in November. This happened after many migrant workers died in the creation of stadiums and the country's views on homosexuality. 50 Cent claimed that the duo were asked to perform a duet in the tournament but they refused.  “Because of the Super Bowl, I got an inquiry about the World Cup and they had a budget of $9million,” 50 Cent stated. “I would’ve taken one and then the other eight would have been for him.” 50 Cent was a surprise guest at the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show, which was headlined by Eminem, Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg and Mary J. Blige.
