So at the end of each week, we’re rounding up all the buzziest, news-worthy headlines you might have missed. Think of it like the “saved” feature on Instagram but for news instead of aesthetically pleasing photos. Rosalía celebrates her 32nd birthday with a special B-DAY gift to us, and Gaga releases a new album for Joker: Folie À Deux —this is what you missed.
