Taylor Swift delivered four gifts to fans on the eve of her first show on The Eras tour, dropping four new songs: three Taylor's Versions of previously released tracks and a never-before-heard one, “All of the Girls You Loved Before,” a vault track from her Lover album. The title seems to be a riff off of the famous YA book and Netflix film series To All the Boys I've Loved Before; the screen adaptation first came out in 2018 when Swift was making Lover. And lyrically, it seems to be...

A month after dating rumors between Selena Gomez and the Chainsmokers' Drew Taggart blossomed, Gomez used her TikTok to give a cheeky and definitive update on her relationship status: She is single and still looking for someone truly exceptional. She lip-synced to audio that said, “I hate it when girls are like, ‘Oh my gosh, my crush doesn't even know that I exist.’ Girl, my crush doesn't even exist!” In her caption, she wrote, “Still out here lookin for him lol.” Relatable:Gomez tried to shut down speculation she and Taggart...

Dolly Parton is one of the most beloved figures in country music, and perhaps in pop culture generally. The prolific singer and songwriter continues to tour in her seventies to sold out crowds, and she's been performing since her preteens. She met her husband Carl Thomas Dean her first day in Nashville, where she moved for her career, and they've been together for over half a century. And yet, they're barely ever seen together. Parton and Dean offer Hollywood a perfect example of keeping your private life private, though Parton...

They say you find love when you least expect it. And a relatively newly single Kendall Jenner, Us Weekly reports, hadn't been looking for anything when Bad Bunny came into her life last month and their romantic relationship took off. A source said that while Bunny and Jenner are not a serious, committed couple, they could be in the future. Jenner is catching feelings fast. “Things are not official between Kendall and Bad Bunny, but they’re seeing each other on a regular basis and getting to know each other better,”...

Ted Lasso finally returns for what could be its last lap around the pitch, though the team remains mum on whether the series really ends here. Regardless, the third season will reach some sort of finality over its dozen new episodes. “This is the end of this story that we wanted to tell, that we were hoping to tell, that we loved to tell,” star and creator Jason Sudeikis said in early March.But that doesn't quite mean it’s a curtain call for the Emmy-winning soccer comedy. “It’s not necessarily the...

Austin Butler and his lingering Elvis accent didn't take home the Oscar for Best Actor last night, but the star got attention for his (brief) reunion with the woman who believed he should pursue the Elvis role: his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens. Hudgens and Butler were photographed together while exiting the Vanity Fair Oscar party. Butler was talking to Sharon Stone, while Hudgens walked right past him, ignoring him. What's less clear is whether the two interacted inside the party or had a moment beyond that.Vanessa Hudgens passing Austin Butler at...

It turns out, Top Gun: Maverick isn’t just a sure-fire blockbuster and cash-grabbing sequel; it’s an award contender, too.

I’m not sure what, precisely, I expected when walking into my screening of The Banshees of Inisherin, but it wasn’t...well, The Banshees of Inisherin. The Academy Award Best Picture nominee from director Martin McDonagh manages to be both hilarious and heart-wrenching in one breath, thanks in no small part to career-high performances from a cast including Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, and Kerry Condon (each nominated for their own Oscars). Despite its absurdist plot points—the story’s about a man willing to cut off his own fingers to avoid an old buddy—Banshees...

Netflix's major hit Stranger Things premiered in 2016, and its star Millie Bobby Brown is about ready for the series to be over. In a new interview with Seventeen, the 19-year-old admitted she'd been living in Hawkins long enough. “I'm definitely ready to wrap up. I feel like there's a lot of the story that's been told now,” she said. “It's been in our lives for a very long time. But I'm very ready to say goodbye to this chapter of my life, and open new ones up.”Brown added, “I'm...

Everything Everywhere All at Once has emerged as the crowd favorite film of 2022, pleasing both critics and audiences alike with its lovably bizarre blend of humor, science fiction, action, family drama, and romance. The resulting buzz around it has put Michelle Yeoh on the pedestal she deserves to stand upon, granted Ke Huy Quan a warm and satisfying return to Hollywood, made a rising star out of Stephanie Hsu, and renewed our faith in word-of-mouth film promotion. Much like its title suggests, this multiverse-hopping adventure directed by The Daniels...

If Taylor Jenkins Reid is to be believed, it doesn’t take much to fall in love with Daisy Jones. The latter is the protagonist of the former’s bestselling novel, now adapted for television in Prime Video’s buzzy new series Daisy Jones & the Six. The show stars Riley Keough (of Zola acclaim and Presley pedigree) as the titular singer/songwriter; she becomes an icon after teaming up with The Six, an already successful band that narrowly missed their shot at superstardom after the implosion of their lead singer, Billy Dunne (Sam...
