She’ll bop her way through Minneapolis, MN, and Rosemont, IL, before wrapping things up in Brooklyn, NY, on May 1. If you’re not in one of these cities, start manifesting an extra leg of the tour because so far, that’s all she wrote.

Will Charli expand the tour to bless other cities or countries with her bratty energy? Only time (and her Instagram stories) will tell. One thing’s for sure: international fans are already lighting candles and chanting for dates in their hometowns.

And because Charli never rests, she’s also gearing up for Coachella 2025 in California, where she’ll undoubtedly bring the desert to its glittery knees.

Wicked Fans, Rejoice! The Soundtrack Is Here (And It’s More Magical Than a Flying Monkey on a Sugar Rush)

November 22, 2024

The Wicked movie has landed in theaters, and the soundtrack has officially dropped! That’s right, you can now belt out “Defying Gravity” in your shower like you’re Cynthia Erivo herself (just don’t scare your neighbors).

This album isn’t just good—it’s downright popular (yes, that was an Ariana Grande pun, and no, I won’t apologize). With 11 jaw-dropping tracks, the main version of the soundtrack delivers everything you’d expect from Oz’s most dramatic residents. You’ve got Cynthia Erivo slaying “The Wizard and I” and hitting those high notes on “Defying Gravity” like it’s a casual Tuesday. And then there’s Ariana Grande, who basically makes “Popular” her personal anthem.

Broadway Fans, Buckle Up!
If you’re a purist who knows every Wicked lyric by heart (we see you), you’ll be thrilled to know that every Act One gem from the Broadway musical made it onto Wicked: Part One. Even the whimsical “Ozdust Duet” makes an appearance as a bonus track, featuring the orchestrations of Glinda and Elphaba’s awkwardly fabulous dance break in “Dancing Through Life.” Trust us, it’s like musical theater Christmas came early.

But Wait… Cameos?!
Here’s the thing—if you press play on this soundtrack before watching the movie, prepare for some epic surprises. There are cameo appearances so unexpected, they’ll make you spit out your emerald green popcorn. But we won’t spoil them here. (Okay, maybe just a hint: it’s giving “Oh my Oz, is that who I think it is?!” vibes.)

How Do You Get Your Hands on This Magic?
Shopping for the Wicked soundtrack is easier than getting into Madame Morrible’s office (but just as exciting). Here’s where you can snag it:

– AMAZON: MP3, CD, or vinyl—because nothing says “Ozian superfan” like a neon-green record spinning on your turntable.
– iTUNES: Perfect for adding to that “Sing in My Car (And Ignore the Traffic)” playlist.
– WALMART & BARNES & NOBLE: Yes, they still sell CDs and vinyls—don’t sleep on that retro charm.

Or, if you’re too excited to wait for shipping, just stream it right now on Spotify. The link’s right there! 🎧

Final Thought: Get Ready to Be Changed for Good
Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just here for the Grande vocals, the Wicked soundtrack is guaranteed to sweep you off your feet faster than a twister to Oz. So go forth, stream, sing, and let those musical vibes defy gravity!

PS: Don’t blame us if you suddenly feel the urge to wear a pointed hat. It’s just the soundtrack’s power. 🧙‍♀️

Ana de Armas Seals the Deal with Cuban Presidential Stepson—The Plot of a Telenovela Writes Itself!

November 22, 2024

Ana de Armas’ dating life just took a dramatic twist worthy of its own soap opera. The Blonde bombshell, 36, was spotted locking lips with Manuel Anido Cuesta, who, wait for it, is none other than the stepson of Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel. Who needs Netflix when real life is this juicy?

The steamy smooch went down on November 20 in Madrid, where Ana was all cozied up in a chic white coat that screamed, “Yes, I’m thriving post-Affleck.” Meanwhile, Manuel showed up looking dashing in a long black coat, exuding that “political royalty meets European romance” vibe. Honestly, the whole scene felt like a Hallmark movie—but, you know, spicy.

Let’s rewind for a second: Before Manuel, Ana was linked to Paul Boukadakis, a Tinder exec. (Yes, that Tinder. The app that brought you right-swiping joy and left-swiping heartbreak.) Oh, and who could forget her pandemic-era romance with Ben Affleck? Those Dunkin’ coffee runs were legendary. However, it seems the paparazzi frenzy around her and Ben got a little too intense for Ana’s liking.

In an interview with Elle, Ana spilled the tea about why she peaced out of Los Angeles: “It became a little too much. There’s no escape. There’s no way out.” Translation: The Deep Water actress decided she’d rather dodge L.A.’s relentless cameras than dodge traffic on the 405.

Now she’s living her best life in Madrid, casually making out with the stepson of a president. Meanwhile, we’re over here just trying to figure out what to order for dinner. Cheers to Ana for keeping life dramatic, glamorous, and endlessly entertaining.

ROSÉ Drops “number one girl” and Steals Our Hearts (and Wi-Fi) – Watch Now!

November 22, 2024

K-pop superstar ROSÉ is back, and let’s just say the music world wasn’t ready for this level of vulnerability, creativity, and balcony aesthetics. Her new single, “number one girl,” dropped today (November 22) at the stroke of midnight—because why release music at normal human hours when you can make your fans contemplate life at 12:01 a.m.?

The K-pop Queen Goes DIY
At the tender age of 27 (which is practically ancient in the K-pop universe but still baby-faced in real life), ROSÉ not only sang her heart out but also decided to direct the music video herself. That’s right, she said, “Move over, Scorsese, there’s a new auteur in town.”

The video serves up cinematic vibes as ROSÉ gets emotional in two very relatable settings:
1. A skatepark (for when you need to cry but also pop a sick ollie).
2. A balcony (because there’s no better place to feel existential dread than five stories above street level).

Behind the Music
The track isn’t just your average tearjerker. ROSÉ joined forces with some of the industry’s finest, including the Bruno Mars, who probably moonwalked into the studio with a pineapple drink in hand. Also on board: Amy Allen, D-Mile, Omer Fedi (that guy who makes all the Gen Z hits), Carter Lang, and Dylan Wiggins. If this song isn’t at least 40% Grammy gold, we riot.

A Peek Into rosie
Hold on to your wigs, because “number one girl” is just the second gem from ROSÉ’s debut solo album, rosie, dropping December 6th. She promises an album so personal, it might as well come with her childhood diary. She co-wrote all 12 tracks herself, probably while sipping tea and staring meaningfully out of yet another balcony.

And yes, the album’s available for pre-order now, because ROSÉ knows you’ve already maxed out your credit card on concert tickets and K-pop merch.

Don’t Walk—Skate to Your Streaming Platform!
You can stream “number one girl” on Spotify and Apple Music, or if you’re feeling fancy, watch the video on repeat until your data plan cries for mercy. Balcony inspo, tear-inducing lyrics, and ROSÉ’s angelic vocals? What more could you want?

Is Glinda Gay in Wicked? Ariana Grande, Kristin Chenoweth, and the Case of the Glittery Closet

November 22, 2024

Glinda, the sparkly queen of Wicked and hair-volume icon, has officially entered the chat of queer fan theories—and the results are as fabulous as you’d expect. For years, fans have speculated that Glinda and her green BFF Elphaba aren’t just defying gravity but also societal expectations of heteronormativity. Now, the stars of Wicked—past and present—are weighing in, and honey, it’s gayer than a rainbow at Pride. 🌈

Let’s break this down: during an interview with Gay Times (because where else would this theory flourish?), Cynthia Erivo, aka Elphaba 2.0, shared her thoughts on the green gal’s vibes. Spoiler alert: it’s giving “love is love.”

“I think Elphie, she goes wherever the wind blows,” Cynthia said, basically confirming that Elphaba is the chaotic bisexual icon we deserve. “She loves Glinda. She loves love. Honestly, who wouldn’t ship them? That’s true love. It’s like peanut butter and jelly, but with more Broadway belting and less calories.”

She doubled down: “What they have is an unbreakable bond. I mean, who else is gonna harmonize with you while dodging flying monkeys and a wizard who’s 90% hot air?”

Meanwhile, Ariana Grande: Closet Detective 🕵️‍♀️
Ariana Grande, Glinda 2.0 and ponytail sorceress extraordinaire, chimed in with her two cents on this glittery theory. “Glinda might be a little in the closet,” she mused. “You never know! She’s got trust, truth, and a wardrobe filled with sequins—it’s practically a metaphor.”

Ariana’s statement? Equal parts thought-provoking and the kind of thing that makes you scream, “COME OUT, GLINDA!” into your karaoke microphone during a rendition of “Popular.”

Kristin Chenoweth: The OG Glinda Spills the (Pink) Tea ☕
The original Glinda, Kristin Chenoweth, decided to sprinkle some fairy dust onto this theory, too. After E! News posted Ariana’s comments about Glinda possibly being “in the closet,” Kristin hopped into the Insta comments like your favorite aunt who’s had one too many mimosas at brunch.

“I thought so too way back when…” she wrote, essentially confirming that Glinda’s been radiating closeted queer icon energy since 2003. Kristin, thank you for your service.

Final Verdict: Is Glinda Gay?
While there’s no official confirmation, the evidence is piling up higher than Glinda’s signature curls. Between Cynthia’s poetic musings, Ariana’s wink-wink, nudge-nudge commentary, and Kristin’s nostalgia-fueled Insta confession, it’s safe to say Glinda and Elphaba have a chemistry that can’t be tamed by the confines of Oz—or heteronormativity.

So, is Glinda gay? Maybe. Is Wicked officially a queer masterpiece? Absolutely. Let’s just say, when it comes to the Emerald City, love is love, and sequins are forever.

Cher Spills the Tea on the One That Got Away: “Val Kilmer Dumped Me, and Yes, I’m Still Cher!”

November 22, 2024

Cher, the legendary diva who has outlived multiple fashion trends, countless exes, and even Auto-Tune, just dropped a bombshell about her love life. The 78-year-old pop goddess (and part-time vampire, apparently, because LOOK AT HER) sat down with Howard Stern to dish about her past romances, her spicy secrets, and the one celebrity who had the audacity to break up with Cher. Yes, someone dumped Cher. Cue the collective gasp.

Fabulous Sex, Guaranteed by Cher™
Howard, being Howard, dived straight into the juicy stuff, asking if guys expect top-tier bedroom action just because she’s, well, Cher.

“Of course they do!” Cher quipped, probably flipping her iconic hair in the process. “And they get it. Trust me, you can tell by the reaction.” She left it at that, but we’re pretty sure angels sang every time she winked at a man.

Men Are Fools, Exhibit A: Val Kilmer
Stern, shocked that anyone would dare leave a living legend, blurted, “Who would ever leave you? Men are fools!” And honestly? Facts.

Cher admitted that only a handful of men have ever had the gall to leave her. “A few,” she said, casually throwing shade like it’s a sport. But there’s one breakup that still hits a high note in the heartbreak playlist of her life: Val Kilmer.

“I was madly in love with Val Kilmer, and he left,” Cher revealed, probably while sipping tea and reminding herself she’s still the queen of everything. “Sometimes, you’re only meant to be with someone for so long. Val was really young.”

Cue dramatic montage: Cher and Val, the power couple we didn’t know we needed, met in the early ‘80s. They were the epitome of cool, rocking leather jackets, aviators, and enough chemistry to light up a city. But alas, their love story ended, leaving us all asking, “How does anyone dump Cher?!”

Val Kilmer: The One Who Got Away (But Stayed a Friend)
In case you’re wondering why Val Kilmer holds this special place in Cher’s heart, she’s been singing his praises for years. “He’s like nobody I’ve ever known,” she gushed to People in 2021. “Exasperating, hysterical, thrilling, and funny. Basically, a human rollercoaster.”

And despite the breakup, the two remained close. “I don’t know how we stayed friends. We just did,” Cher said, like it’s no big deal that her ex is still on speed dial.

Even Cher isn’t immune to heartbreak. But in true Cher fashion, she’s not crying about it. She’s thriving, spilling secrets, and proving that no matter who leaves, she’s still Cher. Val, you messed up, but at least you gave us this fabulous story.

Cara Delevingne Lived with Taylor Swift Post-Breakup: Adventures in a Pop-Star Pad

November 22, 2024

Who needs therapy when your rebound is Taylor Swift’s guest room? Cara Delevingne spilled the tea about crashing at Taylor’s swanky pad during a breakup, and let’s just say it wasn’t all cardigan vibes and cat cuddles.

The 32-year-old actress-model-multi-hyphenate talked about her wild ride (her words, not ours) with Taylor, 35, in a chat with comedian Nikki Glaser for Interview Magazine. Spoiler alert: when Taylor Swift is your temporary roommate, it’s not just glitter and guitar strings.

Roast Goals, But Make It Swift
The conversation took a hilarious turn when Cara asked Nikki who she’d love to roast next, given Nikki’s viral roast of Tom Brady. “As a Swiftie, I’d love to roast Taylor Swift,” Nikki confessed, immediately backtracking like someone who just insulted Beyoncé. “But also, I’d be furious if anyone was too mean.” Spoken like a true fan trying not to get canceled.

Cara, however, was quick to hype Taylor’s secret roastmaster skills. “Taylor gave a wedding speech once, and it was basically a roast,” Cara shared. “She’s funny, she’s clever, and she could destroy anyone if she wanted to.” Honestly, imagining Taylor Swift verbally annihilating someone with poetic precision sounds like the concert we really need tickets to.

When Roommates Collide
Then came the juiciest nugget of the convo: Cara lived with Taylor. Yes, lived. As in shared toothpaste and probably awkwardly passed each other in pajamas. “I was going through a horrible breakup, and she took me in,” Cara explained. “Taylor’s super homely. Like, she looked after me. But also? I may have dragged her into some mild chaos. Think blushing Taylor Swift—it was my mission.”

Apparently, Cara’s idea of post-breakup healing involves turning her pop-star pal into a blushing, wide-eyed partner-in-crime. We’re not saying they pulled off elaborate heists, but we’re also not not saying it.

Nikki’s Take on Taylor
Nikki, clearly impressed, responded, “That’s like the Mount Everest of female friendships, and you climbed it. All because of how you grew up.” Which, sure, makes total sense if your childhood training involved prepping for billionaire bestie life.

The Verdict?
Taylor Swift is not just the queen of break-up anthems; she’s also a top-tier breakup bestie. And Cara? She’s the chaos agent we’d all secretly love to have at our side, even if it means our perfectly curated home gets a sprinkle of mischief.

Moral of the story: if you’re ever heartbroken, just hope Taylor Swift has a spare room.

Taylor Swift’s Joe Jonas Mash-Up at the Toronto ‘Eras Tour’ Show Has Twitter Screaming, Crying, and Throwing Phones

November 21, 2024

Toronto Night Four of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour will go down in history as the night she revived all the Joe Jonas drama—like a phoenix rising from the ashes of 2008’s breakup phone call. Yes, Taylor, the queen of turning heartache into hits, mashed up her iconic Joe breakup anthems “Mr. Perfectly Fine” and “Better Than Revenge” at the Rogers Centre, leaving fans equal parts emotional and absolutely feral.

Let’s set the scene: Taylor, now a poised 34-year-old music mogul, is wrapping up the final leg of her record-shattering tour. But instead of riding off into the glitter-drenched sunset quietly, she said, “Let’s spice things up with a little Jonas tea.” Cue the acoustic guitar, some heartfelt strumming, and millions of fans screaming, “NOT THE JOE SONGS!”

The Songs That Stirred the Swiftie Pot
First up, “Mr. Perfectly Fine,” a track so sharp it could slice through Joe Jonas’ razor-sharp cheekbones. Swifties know this gem from Fearless (Taylor’s Version), where it was unearthed like a perfectly preserved fossil of teenage heartbreak. Pair that with “Better Than Revenge” from Speak Now, aka Taylor’s “I’m not a girl, not yet a woman, but definitely a savage” album, and you’ve got the ultimate revenge medley.

Let’s just say, this mash-up hit harder than Joe’s infamous 27-second breakup phone call. Yes, 27 seconds. Back in the ancient times of flip phones (2008, to be exact), Taylor revealed on The Ellen Show that Joe dumped her via a phone call so short it would’ve been free on most data plans. She later joked, “I checked the call log—27 seconds! That’s gotta be a record.”

Twitter, as expected, collectively lost its mind.
– “Taylor singing Joe breakup songs while Joe is single again? The villain origin story writes itself.”
– “Not Taylor playing the breakup medley while Sophie Turner is probably at home babysitting Joe’s emotions.”
– “Joe Jonas can’t even blink in 27 seconds, but he somehow ended a relationship?!”

Joe Jonas: From Boyfriend to…Plot Twist?
In case you missed the memo, Joe married Taylor’s pal Sophie Turner and even had a couple of adorable kids before their 2023 split. And because Taylor is in her philanthropic, wine-mom era, she stepped in to provide Sophie and the kids with a place to crash during the breakup saga. Who had “Taylor Swift becomes the ultimate BFF by offering her ex’s ex a mansion” on their 2023 bingo card? No one.

A Final Encore of Chaos
Taylor performing these songs isn’t just a musical flex; it’s a masterclass in the art of living rent-free in everyone’s minds. While she’s out here performing her life story, Joe is probably somewhere Googling “How to shrink into the floor in 27 seconds.” Meanwhile, Swifties are lighting up social media with theories, memes, and enough snark to power the internet for days.

If you weren’t at Toronto Night Four, you missed Taylor casually torching a chapter of her past with a smile, a sparkly guitar, and the kind of energy that says, “This is why I’m the CEO of heartbreak.”

She just flipped off Joe Jonas from Toronto lol

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle’s New Polo Show is So Extra, You’ll Feel Like You’re in a Soap Opera on Horseback

November 21, 2024

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have unleashed the trailer for their latest venture, and it’s nothing short of dramatic. Their new Netflix series Polo isn’t just about galloping horses and fancy mallets—it’s basically Succession on steroids, but with way more grass stains and horses that are definitely better groomed than you.

What’s the Deal With This Show?
The series dives deep into the glamorous, cutthroat world of polo. Yes, polo. The game you associate with royal vibes, big hats, and a level of wealth that can only be described as “obnoxious.” Over five juicy episodes, you’ll see elite players clash in the high-stakes U.S. Open Polo Championship in Florida—because, of course, the drama is set in Florida.

But wait, there’s more! This isn’t just about pretty ponies trotting around. We’re talking fierce rivalries, sweaty training montages, and family drama so intense, it makes Thanksgiving at your in-laws look tame. There’s a stressed-out prodigy with a dad who’s this close to screaming “You’re a disgrace to this family!” and even a former golfer who gave up putting for polo-ing because… well, why not?

Meet the Mane Cast (See What We Did There?)

1. Adolfo Cambiaso (Team Valiente):
This guy is basically the LeBron James of polo. He’s got a resume so long you’d need a polo pony to carry it. The kicker? In this championship, he’s going head-to-head with his own son. Thanksgiving at the Cambiaso house just got wild.

2. Poroto Cambiaso (Team La Dolfina):
Speaking of daddy issues, meet Poroto. At 17, he’s already one of the best players in the world. Imagine being a teenager and not only surviving high school but also dominating a sport your dad invented (kind of).

3. Louis Devaleix (Team La Fe):
Started playing polo at 38 because apparently, midlife crises now come with horses. He’s married to a polo champ, expecting a baby, and somehow still winning trophies. Overachiever much?

4. Timmy Dutta (Team Dutta Corp):
Timmy’s life is basically one long episode of Dance Moms, except the dance mom is his dad, “Big Tim Dutta,” who believes in tough love. Timmy’s social life? Nonexistent. The barn is his bestie.

5. Keko Magrini (Team Coca-Cola):
This kid hit the polo scene at 16, and he’s been smashing goals (literally) ever since. With a dad and brother also in the game, Keko is the kind of overachiever that makes everyone else in your family group chat look bad.

6. Nacho Figueras:
The model-slash-polo-player-slash-philanthropist (because of course he is) is here to serve as the series’ dashing expert. Basically, he’s the David Attenborough of polo, but with better cheekbones.

Why You’ll Watch It (Even If You Don’t Know Polo from Marco Polo)
– Family feuds on horseback. Enough said.
– Glimpses into lifestyles so lavish you’ll wonder if your entire existence is a budgeting mistake.
– Absurdly good-looking people doing absurdly dramatic things—what more could you want?

Netflix drops this high-stakes horsing around on December 10, and trust us, you’ll want to saddle up. Watch the trailer below—if only to decide which polo player is your new crush. (Hint: It’s Nacho. It’s always Nacho.)

Lindsay Lohan & Lacey Chabert Reunite to Bring Back the Burn Book Vibes – And It’s So Fetch

November 21, 2024

Stop what you’re doing, grab a carb (or don’t, because Regina George might judge you), and get ready to bask in pure early-2000s nostalgia. Lindsay Lohan and Lacey Chabert just reunited to recreate Mean Girls magic, and yes, the limit for how much we can obsess over this does not exist.

The dynamic duo appeared on Watch What Happens Live! to take us straight back to North Shore High. Lindsay slipped back into her role as the awkwardly fabulous Cady Heron, Lacey resurrected her iconic Gretchen Wieners energy, and host Andy Cohen did his best Regina George impersonation—which, let’s be honest, probably involved a lot of “YOU CAN’T SIT WITH US” practice in the mirror.

Cue the Girl World Flashbacks
Lindsay kicked off the reenactment with the kind of gravitas only someone who’s memorized the whole Burn Book could deliver:
“Having lunch with the Plastics was like leaving the actual world and entering Girl World. And Girl World had a lot of rules.”

And just like that, Lacey (a.k.a. the queen of toaster strudels) came in hot, delivering Gretchen’s greatest hits like, “You can’t wear a tank top two days in a row, and you can only wear your hair in a ponytail once a week. Oh, and we always vote before we ask someone to eat lunch with us. I mean, you wouldn’t buy a skirt without asking your friends if it looks good on you.”

Honestly, the commitment? The delivery? The fetch-ness of it all? Chef’s kiss.

Holiday Movies That’ll Melt Your Cold, Dead Plastic Hearts
If this wasn’t enough to make you wish Mean Girls 2 wasn’t a distant dream (sorry, that weird spin-off doesn’t count), both Lindsay and Lacey are starring in Netflix holiday movies this month.

Lindsay’s Our Little Secret drops November 27, where we assume she’s plotting Christmas miracles instead of sabotaging spring flings. Meanwhile, Lacey’s Hot Frosty is available now, which hopefully involves Gretchen Wieners proving her dad’s toaster strudel empire can also conquer seasonal desserts.

If you need us, we’ll be binge-watching their holiday films and practicing our Mean Girls quotes in the mirror. (“It’s like I have ESPN or something!”) Oh, and don’t forget to watch the full recreation below—it’s not just nostalgia, it’s a whole vibe.

You go, Glen Coco!

Jussie Smollett’s Conviction Flipped by Illinois Supreme Court – Plot Twist Alert!

November 21, 2024

The Illinois Supreme Court has officially overturned Jussie Smollett’s convictions. Yep, you read that right—Jussie’s plot armor is apparently stronger than anyone thought.

Quick recap for those who somehow missed this drama: Back in 2019, Jussie, now 42, was accused of staging a hate crime involving racist and homophobic slurs. The saga gave us twists, turns, and Subway sandwiches at 2 a.m. He was convicted, sentenced to 150 days in jail, and, naturally, maintained his innocence with the determination of someone who swears their Netflix password is “password123.”

After serving a whopping six days behind bars (which is barely enough time to finish binge-watching a show, let alone serve time), Jussie was released while the appeal process got underway.

Fast forward to today: The Illinois Supreme Court dropped a legal bombshell, stating, and I’m paraphrasing here, “Look, the public was mad about how the first trial went, but you know what’s worse? The state not keeping its promises. So, yeah, we’re hitting undo on this one.”

Translation: The court basically said, “Rules are rules, even if this entire situation feels like a deleted scene from Clue.” And just like that, they’re initiating a dismissal.

As for Jussie, we imagine he’s somewhere out there saying, “See? Told ya!” while prepping his memoir titled The Boy Who Lived. Stay tuned—this saga might not be over just yet.

NFL to Players: Watch Your Backpacks and Bling—International Crime Ring Goes Pro!

November 21, 2024

It seems the NFL has a new opponent to tackle—an international crime ring that’s been taking a victory lap around players’ homes while they’re out scoring touchdowns. The league recently issued a “Hey, y’all be careful” memo to the players’ union and team security after thieves hit the homes of Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes. Talk about unsportsmanlike conduct!

And this isn’t just your run-of-the-mill neighborhood scuffle. No, these are professionals—an elite squad straight out of South America, reportedly treating pro athletes’ houses like Black Friday at Best Buy.

“It’s Legit—Like, Netflix-Docuseries-Level Legit”
An NFL insider told reporters, “It’s legit. This is a transnational crime ring.” Apparently, these thieves have been laser-focused on NBA and NFL players. Who knew crime rings had scouting reports?

Over the past three weeks, they’ve been racking up stats by targeting players’ homes all over the U.S. But here’s the kicker—they don’t break in while the players are home binging Netflix or working on their TikTok dances. No, these burglars study public records and game schedules like a fantasy football fanatic. They’re basically crime nerds with PhDs in “How to Ruin Your Day.”

What Are They After?
Master bedrooms, closets, and anywhere shiny things live. Basically, if it glitters, it’s as good as gone. These crooks aren’t grabbing your spare change jar; they’re playing “Ocean’s Eleven: NFL Edition.”

Cowboys’ Linval Joseph Joins the Fumble
Apparently, Dallas Cowboys’ defensive tackle Linval Joseph also got a surprise visit from the sticky-fingered crew. Not the kind of blitz he’s used to handling, but hey, even defensive lines have their limits.

What’s Next?
If you’re an NFL player, maybe start sleeping in your diamond-encrusted cleats and hugging your Lombardi trophies a little tighter. Or better yet, invest in home security systems so aggressive they sack intruders faster than a Micah Parsons blitz.

Meanwhile, the rest of us can sit back and enjoy the irony: the most intimidating athletes on Earth are out there dodging international crime rings while we’re just trying to keep squirrels out of our attics.

Miley Cyrus’ Legal Team Claps Back at ‘Flowers’ Lawsuit: “This Case is as Weak as a Day-Old Bouquet”

November 21, 2024

Miley Cyrus’ legal team just dropped a mic-worthy rebuttal to the lawsuit claiming her smash hit Flowers borrows too much from Bruno Mars’ When I Was Your Man. Spoiler alert: They’re not buying it, and they’ve got receipts.

The Petty Petal Drama Explained 🌺🕺
If you missed it, Miley, the queen of bangers and breakups, is being sued by Tempo Music Investments—a company that bought a slice of When I Was Your Man from one of its co-writers, Philip Lawrence. Not Bruno, though. Nope, Bruno Mars is just out here minding his own business, sipping piña coladas and making people feel like they’re “Locked Out of Heaven.”

Tempo, however, claims that Flowers sounds a little too When I Was Your Man-ish for their liking and is trying to cash in. Miley’s legal squad? Not today, Tempo!

Miley’s Lawyers: “Not All Roses Smell Sweet”
According to court docs snagged by Billboard, Miley’s team basically told Tempo, “Nice try, but this lawsuit doesn’t even have legs to stand on.” Why? Because apparently, When I Was Your Man has four co-authors, and Tempo only got rights from one of them. That’s like trying to throw a party with just one RSVP.

They didn’t stop there. Miley’s legal eagles also said that Tempo’s rights were non-exclusive, which is lawyer-speak for “you can hum the tune, but you can’t sue Miley without permission from everyone else.” Ouch.

And the cherry on top? Miley’s team dropped a verbal beatdown, calling out the “striking differences” between the two songs. Translation: “Our track is a heartbreak anthem for hot girl walks. Your song is for tearful karaoke after one too many tequila shots. Apples and oranges.”

Tempo’s Lawyers: “We’re Not Playing Second Fiddle!” 🎻
Not to be outdone, Tempo’s team fired back, calling Miley’s argument “bogus.” Their statement read something like: “We’re not just babysitting the copyright; we OWN it, okay? And the law says we can sue whoever we want. Checkmate.”

So, What’s Next?
Will this case get tossed out faster than a wilting flower bouquet, or will Tempo get its day in court? One thing’s for sure: Miley isn’t just sitting back and watching this unfold. She’s too busy thriving in her Flowers era, reminding us all that she can buy herself flowers and, apparently, defend herself in court like a pro.

Stay tuned, because this legal drama has more twists than a Miley music video.

Prince Harry Gets a Tattoo from Jelly Roll, Because Why Not?

November 21, 2024

Prince Harry is breaking the monarchy mold yet again—this time with a tattoo gun and country star Jelly Roll in tow. In a plot twist nobody saw coming (but we’re all here for), the Duke of Sussex decided to mark his royal calendar and his skin in a hilarious promo for the 2025 Invictus Games.

Royal Meets Rebel Ink: A Tattoo Parlor Tale
Picture this: Prince Harry, casually perched at a tattoo station, looking like he’s wondering if he’s about to make a royal mistake. Jelly Roll strolls in, looking like a man born to tattoo royals. It turns out Harry thought this was just going to be a chat about the Games, while Jelly Roll showed up ready to make the Prince his next canvas. Classic mix-up!

Eventually, after some banter and what we assume was a lot of awkward royal giggling, Harry agrees to get inked—on one condition: Jelly Roll has to perform at the closing ceremony. Quid pro quo, but make it royal.

Harry’s Bold Tattoo Choices
In what can only be described as a wild game of royal tattoo roulette, Harry floated the idea of getting ink on his lower back or, brace yourselves, his royal derrière. (Yes, this man really said that!) But Jelly Roll, ever the professional, steered the Duke away from tramp-stamp territory and decided the neck was a more princely choice. Because nothing says “I’m a royal rebel” quite like visible neck ink.

And the masterpiece? The tattoo read “I Am,” the official motto of the Invictus Games, topped off with Jelly Roll’s signature. We’re guessing Meghan’s reaction to this was somewhere between “What were you thinking?” and “This better not mess with the coronation portraits.”

Social Media’s Royal Tattoo Reveal
The whole ordeal was, of course, shared on Instagram for the world to see. Because if a royal gets tattooed in a parlor and it doesn’t make the ‘Gram, did it even happen? The comments section exploded, with fans cheering on Harry for once again proving that he’s the most relatable royal (or at least the only one brave enough to let a country star near his neck with a needle).

And Now, Back to Royal Business
Just days after his ink adventure, Harry was back to official royal duties, attending the Invictus Games 2025 School Program Launch Event in Vancouver, Canada. No word yet on whether the tattoo made an appearance, but we’re hoping it peeks out during his next formal event—preferably when he’s wearing one of those super-fancy military uniforms.

So, what’s next for Harry? Matching tattoos with Meghan? Starting a royal tattoo trend? One thing’s for sure: the Duke of Sussex knows how to keep us all entertained.

Matt Gaetz Says “Thanks, But No Thanks” to Attorney General Gig, Drops Mic on Social Media

November 21, 2024

Matt Gaetz has officially bowed out of the race to become Donald Trump’s Attorney General. Yep, the Florida congressman—known for his fiery speeches, polarizing opinions, and knack for stirring the political pot—decided to hit the brakes on this cabinet dream. Why? Well, it’s complicated, and according to Matt, a lot more drama than even Washington’s usual circus could handle.

The Backstory: Scandals and Senate Side-Eyes
For those tuning in late: Gaetz, 42, was Trump’s eyebrow-raising pick for Attorney General. Sure, he has his fans, but let’s not forget he’s been at the center of a major investigation involving some not-so-family-friendly allegations. Apparently, even in Washington, that kind of baggage can make your Senate confirmation feel like trying to get a cat through airport security.

The Big Announcement: Gaetz Logs On
Matt took to X (you know, that app we all used to call Twitter), where he dropped a carefully worded post—probably after testing a dozen drafts in the group chat.

“I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday,” Matt began, which is politician-speak for, ‘I smiled politely while they grilled me like a summer barbecue.’ He went on to say that the “momentum was strong,” but somehow, his confirmation was becoming a “distraction.” (Translation: This wasn’t going to be a cakewalk, and he knew it.)

And because this is Gaetz, he couldn’t just end it there. Oh no. He doubled down on his Trump loyalty, promising to help make the former president the GOAT of the Oval Office and gushing about how honored he was to even get the nomination. It was like a political prom speech, minus the awkward slow dance.

The Subtext: Why Matt Really Dipped
So what’s the tea here? Critics are pointing out that between his legal woes and a Senate that wasn’t exactly rolling out the welcome mat, the chances of Gaetz getting confirmed were somewhere between slim and laughable. By stepping aside, he saves himself a whole lot of public embarrassment and lets Trump pick someone with, you know, fewer headline-making scandals.

The Gaetz Legacy: A Meme in the Making?
If nothing else, Matt’s move adds another chapter to his already meme-worthy political career. Will he pop up in another prominent role down the line? Probably. For now, though, it looks like he’s content to cheer from the sidelines and throw his energy into making Trump’s comeback as dramatic as possible.

Stay tuned, because in the world of politics, the drama never ends.

I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback – and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance…

Lindsay Lohan Reacts to Wild ‘Parent Trap’ Reboot Idea (Spoiler Alert: She’s Totally Into It)

November 21, 2024

Lindsay Lohan, former child star, current mom, and eternal redhead, has something to say about a potential reboot of The Parent Trap—and no, she’s not trapping the idea in a box labeled “Do Not Open.” Instead, she’s all in…with one sassy little condition.

Let’s flash back to 1998: Lindsay was just a kid with a fiery mane and a mischievous smile, dazzling audiences as two kids in one movie. Yes, she played twin sisters separated at birth who decided that impersonating each other and traumatizing their estranged parents was the ultimate vibe. The cast? Star-studded. Natasha Richardson? Iconic. Dennis Quaid? Handsome-dad material. Elaine Hendrix? Peak evil stepmom energy. And Lisa Ann Walter? The chaotic BFF we all need.

Fast-forward to the present day. Lindsay, now 38 and probably dealing with more toddler tantrums than twin-related shenanigans, popped up on Watch What Happens Live. As she dished with Andy Cohen, a fan called in with a pitch that could’ve come straight from a Hollywood brainstorming session…or maybe an overly ambitious group chat.

Here’s the pitch: a Parent Trap reboot with Lindsay as the mom. Yes, you heard that right. Lindsay, playing a cool, modern mom instead of a scheming twin. How did our girl respond? Like an absolute queen.

“If Nancy Meyers was involved, yeah,” Lindsay said without hesitation, adding, “I would never say no to Nancy.” Translation: “Sure, I’ll revisit my iconic breakout role, but only if the queen of rom-coms herself is steering the ship.”

In case you forgot (shame on you), Nancy Meyers directed the OG Parent Trap, proving that she knows her way around witty dialogue, chaotic family dynamics, and dreamy home interiors that make you want to sell your soul for an open-concept kitchen.

Lindsay even got nostalgic for her early Hollywood days, calling The Parent Trap her “first big break” and reminiscing about her very first audition. Imagine auditioning for your first movie, landing two roles at once, and becoming a household name before you hit middle school. Some people peak in high school; Lindsay peaked before algebra.

So, will this reboot happen? Who knows. But one thing’s clear: Lindsay is ready to dust off her British accent and maybe—just maybe—find herself saying, “Oh, honey, you’re grounded. Also, meet your identical twin.”

Hollywood, the ball is officially in your court. Don’t mess this one up.

The View’s Whoopi Goldberg Thinks Elon Musk Is Secretly the VP-elect, and Honestly, We’re Intrigued

November 21, 2024

In today’s episode of Whoopi Says What Now?, the iconic co-host of The View has tossed a curveball bigger than a Kardashian plot twist. Forget political pundits and expert analysts—Whoopi Goldberg has officially declared her theory on who’s really acting as Vice President-elect, and spoiler alert: it’s not who you’d expect.

According to Whoopi, while Donald Trump technically ran with JD Vance as his VP pick, there’s a plot twist brewing in the political soap opera: Elon Musk might be the real VP-elect. Yes, that Elon Musk—the billionaire CEO, part-time meme lord, and man who casually launched a car into space just because he could.

Elon Musk: From X (the app) to VP?
Why does Whoopi think Musk is pulling the VP strings? Well, she dropped this juicy tidbit on The View, saying, “I believe Elon Musk is the actual vice president. Yes, I believe that.” She then went on to muse—because musings are Whoopi’s brand—that JD Vance might just be a stand-in, like an understudy in a Broadway show waiting for their big moment. Except, in this case, Elon’s the lead, and Vance is forever waiting in the wings.

Her reasoning? Musk is “making decisions” and “doing things.” What kind of things, you ask? Great question, but apparently enough to make Whoopi side-eye the official ticket harder than a bad wig reveal.

Trump + Musk = The Ultimate Power Couple?
Reports (and by reports, we mean the rumor mill) suggest Trump and Musk have been spending a suspicious amount of time together, leading Whoopi to theorize that Musk is the one calling the shots. JD Vance, meanwhile, has been about as active as your gym membership in December.

Whoopi then capped off her commentary with this gem: “So I think, ‘Why doesn’t he have to give up X?’ I’m musing.” Translation: If Musk is moonlighting as VP-elect, shouldn’t he hand over the reins to X (formerly Twitter, currently everyone’s collective headache)? Priorities, people!

So, Is Elon Musk Actually the VP-elect?
Look, Whoopi might be onto something, or she might just be giving us a new conspiracy theory to obsess over. Either way, let’s all take a moment to imagine Musk in the White House, wheeling around in a Tesla, live-tweeting cabinet meetings, and announcing new policies via Dogecoin memes.

Whether you agree with Whoopi or not, one thing’s for sure: politics is starting to feel a lot more like reality TV, and honestly? We’re not mad about it. Stay tuned for next week’s episode of The View, where Whoopi might just reveal her theory about who’s actually running NASA. (Hint: It’s probably Beyoncé.)

NEW: The View's Joy Behar says people like their show because they tell the truth, unlike "dragon believer" Joe Rogan.

Lmao.

Whoopi Goldberg later chimed in & claimed conservatives on X are bullying people off the platform and that Elon Musk is the real Vice President.

Diddy Goes Full Drama King, Claims Prosecutors Gave His Life the Hollywood Editing Treatment

November 21, 2024

Sean “Diddy” Combs has stirred up the legal drama pot again, this time with some wild accusations that federal prosecutors are playing Steven Spielberg with his life. According to Diddy, they’ve been snipping, cropping, and editing evidence like it’s audition footage for a reality TV show designed to keep him behind bars ahead of his trial. And no, this isn’t an episode of Making the Band.

Here’s the tea: The 55-year-old music mogul-slash-controversy magnet is gearing up for a big court moment on Friday (November 22), where he’ll beg—uh, petition—for bail. But before he even gets to the mic, his legal team is coming in hot with claims that prosecutors used a hacked-up, badly edited clip of a hotel hallway throwdown with his ex Cassie. Apparently, the tape (which has been doing the rounds online since May 2024) is the supposed “smoking gun” in a lawsuit where Cassie accused him of assault earlier this year.

But Diddy’s team isn’t having it. They’re calling shenanigans! According to them, the footage has been manipulated to give the judge “the most dramatic, Lifetime-movie version” of events possible.

What really happened, they say? Oh, just a little lover’s quarrel. You know, the kind where you sprint down a hotel hallway, looking like you’re auditioning for the 100-meter dash at the Olympics, to recover your clothes and cellphone. (No word on whether the phone was still charged or if the clothes matched the carpet.) Diddy’s lawyers are labeling it a “sad glimpse into a decade-long consensual relationship.” Sad? Yes. Assault? They say nah.

Of course, this is just another twist in Diddy’s ongoing legal soap opera. Last we heard, he was in hot water for allegedly trying to turn his kids into Instagram cheerleaders to sway potential jurors. Yes, you read that right—social media tributes as a legal strategy. Your move, TikTok lawyers.

Now, with this new “editing scandal,” we’re left wondering if Diddy’s going to accuse the prosecutors of Photoshopping receipts next. But until then, one thing’s for sure: if this case were a Netflix series, it’d already be trending in the Top 10. Grab your popcorn. This one’s a thriller.

Lady Gaga Spills the Tea on Her 7th Album, Promises to Make Little Monsters Lose Their Minds

November 21, 2024

Lady Gaga is officially cooking up her seventh album, and it sounds like she’s ready to set the world (and probably a few dance floors) on fire.

The 38-year-old “Just Dance” legend dropped her newest single, “Disease,” in October—an ironic title for a song that’s infectiously good. Now, she’s teasing her February release, and Little Monsters everywhere are about to collectively pass out in their meat dresses.

Gaga Talks Inspiration (a.k.a. How to Build a Monster Hit)
In a chat with Vogue, Mother Monster got real about her creative process, revealing that this album is essentially her brain served on a glittery platter. And what’s the flavor of this brain, you ask? Think dark pop, wild genre mashups, and just enough chaos to keep us guessing.

“It’s giving The Fame Monster vibes,” Gaga teased, which is code for: you’re not ready. But before you go digging out your old Bad Romance claws, know that this isn’t just a nostalgia trip. This album is a whole circus of sound.

What’s in Store? Chaos, but Make It Danceable
According to Gaga, this isn’t just your average pop album. It’s a genre-bending rollercoaster that’ll make you question everything from your Spotify playlist to your life choices. “It’s like my brain threw a rave, and everyone showed up dressed as their favorite music genre,” she explained.

She’s blending live instruments with programming—basically creating an orchestra that vibes with a DJ booth. Gaga also called the album a “deeply personal” look into her producer brain, which sounds both intimidating and amazing.

Serious, But Not Too Serious
Lest you think this album is all brooding ballads and dramatic key changes, Gaga assured us it’s made for living your best life. “This is not an album for crying in the shower… unless you’re dancing while you cry,” she joked.

She described it as the soundtrack for everything from clubbing to having a solo dance party in your kitchen while pretending your spatula is a microphone (don’t act like you don’t do it).

Bottom Line
If The Fame Monster and Chromatica had a chaotic, glitter-drenched baby, this album might just be it. February can’t come soon enough—because clearly, Gaga is about to drop a masterpiece that’s equal parts heart, soul, and strobe lights.

So, get your paws up, Little Monsters—it’s going to be a wild ride. And remember, Gaga wouldn’t lead us into chaos without a killer beat to guide the way. 🐾

Ellen and Portia: From Hollywood to Tea & Crumpets, Bye Bye USA!

November 21, 2024

Word on the cobblestone streets is that Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have officially ditched the red, white, and blue for some good ol’ fish and chips in the UK. Yes, the former queen of daytime TV and her Aussie missus have allegedly packed their bags, waved goodbye to Montecito, and said, “Cheerio, America!”

Why the move? Well, apparently, the 2016 U.S. presidential election was the straw that broke Ellen’s back. According to some mysterious “close source” (likely a neighbor who overheard Ellen yelling at Alexa), the couple vowed to “never return” after Donald Trump took office. Let’s face it, they probably figured if they’re going to deal with questionable leadership, they might as well do it somewhere with castles and afternoon tea.

Fresh Start, Fresh Drama
But wait, there’s more! The election drama wasn’t the only reason they hopped across the pond. After being “canceled” in 2020 over allegations of creating a less-than-sparkly workplace environment, Ellen and Portia apparently thought a fresh start in a quaint English countryside sounded like the perfect PR reset. Because nothing screams “I’m rebranding!” like retiring to a place where sheep outnumber people.

The report says they’ve already moved into their new digs in the Cotswolds, a picturesque region of England where every house looks like it came with a free Jane Austen novel. If you’re wondering what’s happening with their sprawling Montecito mansion, don’t worry — it might hit the market soon. Or it could already be quietly up for grabs as a “pocket listing.” Fancy real estate talk for “it’s for sale, but only if you’re rich enough to know about it.”

2019 Prep Work
Apparently, Ellen and Portia have been planning this escape since 2019 when they bought their Cotswolds home. So basically, while we were all figuring out how to make sourdough during the pandemic, they were plotting their ultimate “Bye, Felicia” moment.

As of now, Ellen’s rep has been contacted for a comment. But considering this is Ellen, don’t expect anything more than a perfectly timed shrug and a witty one-liner about tea vs. coffee.

So, will Ellen start a talk show in the UK? Maybe “Ellen After Tea”? Will Portia become the Queen of Sheep Herding? Only time will tell. For now, America, it looks like the only dancing Ellen will be doing is around a maypole. God save the queen—of daytime TV!

Ellen and Portia: From Hollywood to Tea & Crumpets, Bye Bye USA!

Lady Gaga Plots Coachella 2025 Takeover, Promises Chaos, Dance, and Probably a Meat Dress Encore

November 21, 2024

Pop icon, Mother Monster, and professional desert dreamer Lady Gaga is packing her glitter, wigs, and maybe a UFO or two for a Coachella 2025 extravaganza that promises to be wilder than a cactus in a windstorm.

If you’re scratching your head trying to remember her Coachella resume, let me jog your memory: back in 2017, Gaga swooped in like a fabulous phoenix when Beyoncé had to bow out due to, you know, creating twins. Gaga didn’t just save the day—she served up a spectacle so dazzling it probably left the desert sand shaking.

Now, she’s back and ready to one-up herself in the only way she knows how: with drama, disco, and probably an interpretive dance involving sand dunes.

“Desert Chaos” Incoming
On November 20, Gaga casually hopped onto X (which is basically Twitter with a midlife crisis) to confirm her Coachella comeback. Oh, and she’s sharing the 2025 spotlight with Green Day (hello, ’90s vibes) and Post Malone (because no festival is complete without at least one beer-soaked anthem). But Gaga’s energy? Unmatched.

“I have long dreamed of throwing a massive night of chaos in the desert,” she announced, probably while staring into a crystal ball surrounded by sequins.

And chaos is exactly what we expect. If her vision includes jetpacks, neon camels, or a live duet with an alien, honestly, we wouldn’t blink.

The Gaga Promise™
Lady Gaga wasn’t shy about declaring that her 2017 performance was merely a dress rehearsal. This time? She’s “doing it right.”

“Can’t wait to hear you all sing along and dance dance DANCE till we drop,” she wrote, tossing in a casual *🖤🔥* emoji duo, because Gaga knows how to keep it chic and fiery.

Translation: hydrate, pack glitter sunscreen, and start working on your stamina because Gaga’s planning to turn that Coachella crowd into the world’s most glamorous cardio session.

So, Coachella veterans and newbies alike, prepare yourselves. If 2025 Gaga has her way, the festival will be equal parts rave, Broadway show, and probably a little Cirque du Soleil for good measure. Just don’t forget your dancing shoes—or better yet, your dancing boots. This is the desert, after all.

I have long dreamed of throwing a massive night of chaos in the desert. I’ve had a vision I’ve never been able to fully realize at Coachella for reasons beyond our control but I wanted to come through for music fans. I have been wanting to go back and to do it right, and I am.… pic.twitter.com/zEU3AnetiK

Ashley Darby Finally Hits “Unsubscribe” on Michael Darby After Two-Year Breakup Buffer

November 20, 2024

Ashley Darby of Real Housewives of Potomac fame has officially decided that two years of separation was plenty of time to test-drive single life. The reality star filed for divorce from her 65-year-old (and very Australian) husband, Michael Darby, putting an end to their headline-making marriage. And yes, she’s doing it on a Wednesday.

According to TMZ (our go-to for legal tea), the couple already hashed out their split like grown-ups. Michael confirmed they reached a “fair and amicable settlement,” which sounds suspiciously like they didn’t want to air more laundry than they already have on Bravo. Of course, a prenup was involved, because Ashley didn’t just marry a businessman—she married an Australian businessman.

Their lawyers skipped into court this morning to file the settlement, which includes plans to share custody of their two boys: Dean, 5, who probably already has better hair than you, and Dylan, 3, who’s still figuring out if sharing toys is a scam.

This marks the official end of an era for the Darbys, who tied the knot back in 2014. Fast forward eight years, and Ashley announced in April 2022 that she and Michael were parting ways. Now, two years later, she’s saying, “Alexa, play Irreplaceable by Beyoncé.”

For those wondering how Ashley is doing post-divorce filing, catch her on season 9 of The Real Housewives of Potomac, where the drama airs as fresh as her court filings—Sundays at 8 PM ET on Bravo. Spoiler: she’s still thriving.

Rest in paperwork, Darby marriage. ✌️

Robert Pattinson Joins Christopher Nolan’s Mystery Megamovie Starring Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, and Basically Everyone Famous

November 20, 2024

Christopher Nolan is at it again. The cinematic wizard who brought us upside-down dreams, backward bullets, and “Oppenheimer” is cooking up another blockbuster for 2026. And guess what? He’s invited the entire Hollywood A-list to the party.

The lineup already includes Matt Damon (the guy who’s been rescued from space too many times), Tom Holland (Spider-Man but also sometimes an innocent cinnamon roll), Anne Hathaway (who probably brought her “Devil Wears Prada” energy), Zendaya (queen of effortless cool), and Lupita Nyong’o (seriously, is there a role she can’t crush?).

But wait, there’s more! In a plot twist worthy of a Nolan movie, Robert Pattinson just RSVPed. Yes, the Robert Pattinson—Batman, brooding heartthrob, and former sparkly vampire—is back in Nolan’s world. If you need a refresher, they previously teamed up for the mind-bending “Tenet,” where Robert somehow made a scarf look like a plot device.

The Hollywood Reporter spilled the beans, revealing that Pattinson isn’t just showing up for craft services—he’s got a major role. Meanwhile, Zendaya and Lupita are reportedly in “supporting roles,” which is Hollywood code for they’re about to steal every scene they’re in.

And what’s this movie actually about? Good question! True to form, Nolan is keeping things more secretive than the plot of “Inception.” For all we know, the story could involve time travel, space cows, or a philosophical debate about why popcorn costs $12 at the movies.

Oh, and fun fact: this marks Robert’s second time teaming up with Zendaya. The duo is currently filming The Drama in Massachusetts. Let’s just hope this new project doesn’t make them act out dialogue in reverse again—because Tenet taught us that’s a vibe no one asked for.

Stay tuned for more updates, because if Nolan’s past work is anything to go by, this movie will be equal parts confusing, groundbreaking, and utterly brilliant.

Billy Ray Cyrus Lassos the CMA Awards for Ditchin’ Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’

November 20, 2024

Billy Ray Cyrus just rode into the CMA Awards town with guns a-blazin’! And what’s got him all fired up? The 2024 CMA Awards didn’t tip their Stetsons to Beyoncé’s country-inspired album Cowboy Carter. Yee-haw, drama alert!

In case you missed it (how could you?), Beyoncé, aka the queen of pop, soul, and basically everything else, decided to dip her diamond-encrusted cowboy boots into the world of country music this year. The result? Cowboy Carter, an album that apparently had Billy Ray Cyrus two-stepping in his living room but left the CMA committee colder than an iced sweet tea in December. Not a single nomination, y’all. Not one.

Now, Billy Ray, the OG of country heartbreak anthems (don’t pretend you don’t know Achy Breaky Heart), wasn’t about to let this injustice slide. Hours before the awards show kicked off, the 63-year-old Instagrammed his disappointment like a dad who just discovered his favorite diner stopped serving biscuits and gravy.

“Congrats to all the nominees!” Billy Ray started sweetly, probably while passive-aggressively tipping his hat. But then, he turned up the heat: “I was surprised to see @beyonce wasn’t nominated??? Her album was brilliant… her single ruled. But she knows that.” Translation? Beyoncé doesn’t need your cowboy trophies, CMA, because she’s already won the rodeo of life.

And, oh, did Billy Ray go there. He reminded everyone that back in 2019, he and Lil Nas X snagged the Event of the Year award for Old Town Road, but the CMAs didn’t even air it during the show. Shady boots, CMAs. Shady boots.

If you’re wondering just how country Cowboy Carter was, let’s not forget that Beyoncé lassoed Miley Cyrus into the project. The two collaborated on a track hilariously titled II Most Wanted. (Double trouble? Double yee-haw?)

Billy Ray Cyrus, defender of genre-fluid queens and sheriff of country justice, calling out the CMA Awards for ignoring what he clearly believes was a barn burner of an album. Will Beyoncé ride off into the sunset with her cowboy crown? Or will Billy Ray start his own awards show? Stay tuned, y’all.
