Charlie Puth is reflecting on what it was like having Taylor Swift name drop him in a song lyric.
On her song “The Tortured Poets Department” from her recently released album of the same name, Swift sings, “We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist.” Though Puth has vaguely reacted to the mention on social media, he spoke more in depth about the lyric in an interview with Rolling Stone published Friday.
He recalled that he was first told of Swift mentioning him by a friend who had heard a leak of the song, but he didn’t believe it.
“My brain immediately went to ‘Oh, like in an interview or something. That’s cool. I love Taylor Swift,'” he recounted. But then he thought the mention of his name was AI-generated. “I’m going to wake up tomorrow and it was just a big joke that someone...

Iconic singer Céline Dion is opening up about her battle with a neurological condition that has derailed her performance career. The trailer for her new documentary I Am: Céline Dion, released on May 23, offers a glimpse into the Canadian superstar’s private struggle with Stiff Person Syndrome.
Described by Dion as a “very rare neurological disorder,” Stiff Person Syndrome is a progressive condition that causes severe muscle stiffness and painful spasms and significantly impacts an individual’s physical mobility and even the ability to sing. The rare disorder has prevented the Grammy-winning artist from taking the stage over the past few years.
“My voice is the conductor of my life,” Dion solemnly reveals in the trailer. “I need my instrument.” The 55-year-old powerhouse performer expressed the immense difficulty of canceling shows, admitting, “It’s not hard to do a show, you know? It’s hard to cancel a show. I’m working hard every day,...

“I can’t do that,” Eilish said. “My show would be like a million years long. If I did that, I’d have to cut like every other song that I have — so I’m gonna have to choose, y’all. But I’ll do most of [the songs from the album].”
Responding to another question, Eilish continued, “I’m not doing a three-hour show. That’s literally psychotic. Nobody wants that. You guys don’t want that. I don’t want that. I don’t even want that as a fan. My favorite artist in the world,...

Travis Kelce is giving his thoughts on Harrison Butker’s controversial graduation speech.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end addressed the criticism the Chiefs kicker has received for his speech in which he made remarks directed towards women, suggesting they should embrace being a “homemaker.” He also condemned abortion, euthanasia, IVF, surrogacy and the LGBTQ community.
On a new episode of his New Heights podcast, Kelce first described Butker as a “great person” and “great teammate.” He added, “He’s treated friends and family that I’ve introduced to him with nothing but respect and kindness. And that’s how he treats everyone.”
However, Kelce reiterated that “when it comes down to his views and what he said at the Benedictine College commencement speech, those are his.”
“I can’t say I agree with the majority of it or just about any of it outside of just him loving his family and his kids.

A week and a half after Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker kicked up a storm by suggesting that women just want to get married and have babies while rolling out antisemitic tropes during a Benedictine College commencement speech, his teammate Travis Kelce is playing defense … somewhat. On the New Heights podcast he hosts with his brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, Travis described Butker, whom he “cherish[es] as a teammate,” as likable enough.

For some fans, the arc of X-Men as mutant outsiders fighting for their right to fit in, be represented, or at best, to co-exist beside humans, feels more real than the world they live in. As such, Professor Xavierʼs never-ending struggle to mediate, guide, lead, train, shelter, and sometimes pioneer the war against injustice and suffering also resonates among fans who see themselves as outsiders.
Patrick Stewart as Professor Charles Xavier [Credit: 20th Century Studios]However, more so than the rest, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, was inspired to embody the powerful character who witnessed the potential in X-Men and eternally fought for equality and justice. In Charles Xavier, the Billy Jean singer saw himself while the rest of the world associated themselves with the remainder of the X-Men.
Michael Jackson Dreamt of Playing Charles Xavier in X-Men
It is inherently foolish to disregard the iconography of Michael Jackson in modern pop culture and music.

The marketing campaign for Deadpool & Wolverine went into high gear earlier this week when tickets went on sale, but there's still a huge amount we don't know about the movie.
While there are plenty of rumours out there, the trailers have only hinted at the threequel's Multiversal elements with glimpses of the Tva and The Void. Only time will tell whether Taylor Swift dazzles us and the original X-Men return, but at least one cameo has now been confirmed.
In the latest episode of FX's Welcome to Wrexham, Rob McElhenney visits Ryan Reynolds on Deadpool & Wolverine's set to film a cameo.
The actor hides his costume beneath a robe, but there's one shot (at the 2:04 mark) where we can quite clearly see the Time Variance Authority logo on his upper chest. Reynolds even hints that he's playing one of their agents, and it's confirmed here.

Charlie Puth probably wouldn’t be releasing his new song “Hero” if it wasn’t for Taylor Swift.
Puth was in the middle of having lunch one day last month when a friend who’d heard a leak of Swift’s Tortured Poets Department called to say that she had mentioned Puth in one of the songs. Puth didn’t believe him. “My brain immediately went to ‘Oh, like in an interview or something. That’s cool. I love Taylor Swift,’” he recounts to Rolling Stone. Then, he thought, maybe...

During this year's CinemaCon, attendees were treated to a special Deadpool & Wolverine PSA. That featured both characters going on a foul-mouthed tirade aimed at moviegoers who don't silence their cellphones. Now, it's found its way online!
The video has started playing in theaters and hasn't been "officially" released (at least not yet). However, we have a version recorded by a fan and this thing is absolutely hilarious.
A very angry Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) makes a series of threats before being calmed down by the Merc with the Mouth (Ryan Reynolds). Things between them get weird fast, but it's clear the clawed mutant doesn't appreciate seeing someone's phone light up or start ringing during a trip to the movies.
This Variant of Logan also appears to have a short temper, something we're sure contributes to his hatred of the chatty Wade Wilson.

The cinematic adaptation of It Ends With Us is set to bloom later this summer, and the trailer for the Sony Pictures film, directed by Justin Baldoni and adapted from Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel, racked up a record number of views in the first 24 hours after it debuted.
Starring Blake Lively, who also executive produces, as protagonist Lily Bloom, the clip, set to Taylor Swift’s “My Tears Ricochet” shows Lily ecstatic to open her flower shop in Boston, with Jenny Slate’s character Alyssa turning on the neon sign. Alyssa is related to Baldoni’s Ryle Kincaid, who stops by the shop and sparks a connection with Lily. Lily has a traumatic past, but reminders of her parents’ relationship surface in Ryle’s behavior as well as her reconnection with ex-boyfriend Atlas Corrigan (Brandon Sklenar).

Deadpool & Wolverine Stars Tease Cassandra Nova's "Unpredictability" And Reveal Surprise Inspiration
While we've seen a lot from Deadpool & Wolverine in recent weeks, much of the threequel is shrouded in secrecy. The latest trailer offered a glimpse at the movie's villain, Cassandra Nova, though we still don't know what she's up to in The Void.
The prevailing theory is that the twisted twin sister of Professor X hails from the same reality as Deadpool & Wolverine's Logan. If she killed the X-Men before being pruned, it would go a long way in establishing Nova as a threat to the heroes and perhaps even the wider Multiverse.
In a profile of Emma Corrin on Harper's Bazaar, the actor (who uses they/them pronouns), refuses to say too much about playing the villain but confirmed Christoph Waltz's Hans Landa in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds was a key source of inspiration.
"Because he’s in that uniform, that says everything you need to know,...

For years, Sen. Amy Klobuchar has sought to reform the concert industry. On Thursday, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit to break up Live Nation and Ticketmaster’s alleged monopoly on the U.S. touring industry, claiming that the businesses have been feeding on ticket buyers since merging in 2010. (Live Nation issued a lengthy statement denying charges that it is a monopoly, claiming the lawsuit “attempts to portray Live Nation and Ticketmaster as the cause of fan frustration with the live entertainment industry.”.)

The X-Men are due to make thier appearance in the MCU, and there are a lot of theories as to how they will be integrated into the history of the franchise. Some have suggested that mutants will enter the MCU from a different universe, one that will be assimilated into the sacred timeline. However, another theory has emerged, suggesting that the X-Men have already been part of the MCU.
The X-Men | Marvel Comics
There have been multiple theories about how the X-Men exist in the MCU. Some have suggested that Charles Xavier is responsible for hiding mutants in the MCU, while others say that the mutants will slowly emerge now that The Blip has been undone. There is one theory that suggests that not only have mutants always existed in the MCU, but some sort of cataclysmic event wiped them out from the memories of the general public.

Over a year into Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, she has found ways to keep the show fresh and new for those who have been waiting since she opened in Phoenix, Arizona in March 2023 to see her. Since the tour began in the United States last year, Swift has released two rerecorded albums — Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) in addition to a brand-new double album, The Tortured Poets Department.
Right as she picked the tour back up in 2024, she flew from Tokyo, Japan to Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada (where she had previously performed) to watch her beau Travis Kelce and his NFL team the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl.
Every show on the Eras Tour involves an acoustic set where Swift performs at least two songs custom to that night’s show. At first, she wouldn’t allow herself repeats unless she messed...

The world should value consent. However, Madonna‘s “Erotica” was banned from MTV for depicting consensual roleplay. The Queen of Pop had a surprising reaction to this development. One of the musicians behind Madonna’s album Erotica also had some perceptive things to say about the controversy.
Madonna’s ‘Erotica’ was pulled from MTV for being ‘repellent’
Madonna’s music video for “Erotica” looks like a rediscovered print of a black-and-white silent film about the Folsom Street Fair. It’s grainy, disorientingly edited, and niche in a way that’s generally anathema to a mass-market pop offering. The video has a lot of images that nobody would want to watch with their grandma. The Material Girl had previously explored Bdsm in her music videos for “Express Yourself” and “Justify My Love,” but she took things to a new level of explicitness with “Erotica.” After all, the music video had to...

Adam Aron, the CEO of AMC Theatres, gives me a choice.
We’re supposed to have a 20-minute interview in Las Vegas at CinemaCon, a four-day gathering of movie theater owners and Hollywood studios designed to breathlessly hype the year’s upcoming blockbusters, but he’s distracted. Executives from Warner Bros. want him to come backstage before their presentation to schmooze with the filmmakers they brought to Caesars Palace. So here are my options: Stick to the plan, with Aron’s mind flittering elsewhere, or cancel other commitments to get dinner and much more time on the record. The second choice, a publicist’s nightmare, makes it more likely that the AMC chief will say something controversial. But Aron has endured a pandemic that shut down his business, withstood roller-coaster share prices and sidestepped nagging speculation that he’s about to get canned. He thrives on risk.

Updated, 7:58 Am Pt: As expected, the Justice Department sued Live Nation-Ticketmaster today, claiming that the ticketing and concert events giant is stifling competition and driving up prices for consumers.
In response, the self-described “largest live entertainment company in the world” accused the feds of going for a PR hit over the facts of the live music industry.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, also alleges that Live Nation-Ticketmaster punished venues that used more than one ticketer, that it hindered performers’ access to venues and that it bought up competitors, among other things. In conjunction with dozens of state attorneys general, the suit seeks a break up of the long merged company.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, also alleges that Live Nation-Ticketmaster punished venues that used more than one ticketer, that it hindered performers’ access to venues and that it bought up competitors, among other things. In conjunction with dozens of state attorneys general, the suit seeks a break up of the long merged company.

The Justice Department has sued Live Nation for antitrust violations tied to its dominance over the live events industry.
The department joined 29 states and the District of Columbia to file in New York district court on Thursday a lawsuit accusing the Ticketmaster parent of leveraging its unrivaled positions as the nation’s largest concert promoter, ticket seller and venue owner to undermine competition. It accuses the company of illegally locking venues into exclusive ticketing contracts, pursuing anticompetitive acquisitions intended to stifle competition and retaliating against rivals.
The lawsuit looks to break up Live Nation and Ticketmaster after competition enforcers passed on trying to block their 2010 merger. It seeks a court order directing the “divestiture of, at minimum, Ticketmaster.” The government hopes to reduce reduce ticket prices and fees by separating the two companies. It could drastically slash the company’s sprawling footprint across all avenues of the live events industry.

Before she sat down to listen to Taylor Swift’s surprise double album The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, Samantha Roberts, of Portland, Oregon, felt open to the idea of a 31-song album.

Roberts found the album “messy, unfocused, and in need of a good editor,” a sentiment echoed by Brooke Thames, a Pennsylvania resident and Swiftie since the Speak Now era. Thames described...

If the words “Taylor Swift” and “MCU” sound like an unlikely pairing, you’re not alone. Yet, rumors of Swift’s involvement have been circulating for months, particularly suggesting a cameo in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ as Dazzler. These rumors gained such traction that both Reynolds and director Shawn Levy addressed them on multiple occasions.
As the movie inches closer to release, the rumors have only intensified. However, a recent shift in online chatter suggests that Swift will indeed join the MCU, but not as Dazzler. Instead, she’s rumored to star in her own standalone show as Blonde Phantom.
This information comes from Daniel Richtman, a well-known industry insider and scooper. Richtman suggests that the actress has already held meetings with executives to discuss the details, positioning her as one of the top contenders for the starring role in the show.

Deadpool & Wolverine has all the makings of a $1 billion hit. Those have become a rarity since the pandemic and, in the eyes of many, this will be the movie that puts the Marvel Cinematic Universe back on the right track.
Fans are understandably thrilled to see the Merc with the Mouth and Logan share the screen, though there were initial concerns about bringing Hugh Jackman back into the fold after what proved to be a perfect send-off in 2017.
Logan killed the clawed mutant in a way he can't come back from. Undoing that would be nothing short of sacrilegious, but the latest trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine confirmed this is a Variant of the X-Man who somehow failed his world.
Now, the first meeting between Wade Wilson and Logan is spotlighted in a new still from the upcoming threequel.

Scarlett Johansson called out OpenAI this week for mimicking her voice for a new chatbot, underscoring the urgency that many artists feel about regulating artificial intelligence.
But in Congress, taking on AI is starting to resemble wrestling an octopus. It’s so sprawling, it’s hard to know how to begin.
The Senate AI Working Group issued a “roadmap” last week. But that left it vague where Congress is going or when it will get there.
Some have warned against stifling innovation. And while some regulation is likely to happen eventually, it appears it will be done piecemeal — one tentacle at a time.
“From the House perspective, part of the challenge is that we’re under Republican control,” Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu of California, co-chair of the House task force on AI, tells Variety. “It’s been very chaotic. We’re just trying to stop stupid stuff.”

We recently learned that Scarlett Johansson's next Marvel Studios project, which she'll produce rather than star in, could be The Blonde Phantom.
Now, thanks to scooper Daniel Richtman, we have a few additional details, including the fact this role is one of the characters singer Taylor Swift discussed with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige during their recent meeting.
As we're sure you'll recall, it's been widely reported that Swift - who counts 14 Grammy Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, 40 American Music Awards, 39 Billboard Music Awards, and 23 MTV Video Music Awards among her many accolades - had a "good" conversation with Feige about joining the MCU. We didn't expect Blonde Phantom to be on the list but she clearly stands out to both Johansson and Swift.
Richtman adds that this would be a spy show which takes place in Las Vegas in the 1950s.

One of the big edits was a booing session for the great Kim Kardashian. Although it took time away from the crude roast, it was clipped from the current version on the streaming service. Although everyone is aware there is an ongoing feud between Kim and Taylor Swift, some speculate the Swifties had a hand in the ousting.
