When Does ‘The Pitt’ Season 1 Episode 14 Come Out?

WBD/Max

The Pitt is fire, pure and simple. The show’s winning combination of putting Noah Wyle back in a medical drama and a 24-style “real-time” structure has hooked a growing audience. Max couldn’t resist an early renewal with HBO content chief Casey Bloys expressing to Collider the goal of this being “the next tentpole library series that people will be watching 20 years from now.”

The fifteen-episode season structure will only help in that endeavor. It’s nearly unheard of these days for a streaming series to last, let alone captivate viewers, for that long, but this intense Max medical drama is succeeding. Only two episodes remain for this season, so it’s about time to wonder when the next hour of Dr. Robby’s trauma-unit shift will stream on Max.

When Does The Pitt Season 1 Episode 14 Come Out?

This week’s episode, “8:00 P.M.,” rolls out on April 3 at 9:00 pm EST.

From there, the season finale countdown will begin.

For those who have already watched Episode 13, you might be wondering how Noah Wyle handled an exceedingly dark episode for Dr. Robby. As Wyle told TV Line, he absolutely loved the experience:

“Well, I’m a little funny. I look at days of work like that like Christmas morning. [Laughs] I can’t tell you how much I was looking forward to that day… a day where I could go in there and channel my own pent-up grief, disappointment, anger, frustration [and] fear that I carry… It was harder to keep it in over the course of the season, where it was inappropriate to have it come out, than it was to shoot that. I just remember thinking, you know, in the way that actors can be masochists, like, ‘Oh boy! Today, I get to f-k some s-t up!’”

Fortunately for viewers, Noah Wyle isn’t an actual doctor so that we can see him portray one on TV.

Jenna Ortega Tells The Weeknd Something Has To Change In The Fiery ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ Trailer

The Weeknd releasing his sixth (and final?) album Hurry Up Tomorrow was just the beginning of his very busy year.

The “Cry For Me” singer kicks off a worldwide tour in May, and he’s also got a movie coming out in May. Hurry Up Tomorrow follows a musician plagued by insomnia who is pulled into an odyssey with a stranger who begins to unravel the very core of his existence. Directed by Trey Edward Shults, the psychological thriller stars Abel Tesfaye, Jenna Ortega, and Barry Keoghan.

You can watch the latest trailer, which ends with Ortega seemingly threatening to set Tesfaye on fire, above.

“It’s about an artist, you could say, on the verge of a mental breakdown,” Edward Shults, who also directed the excellent Krisha, told Entertainment Weekly about Hurry Up Tomorrow. “He meets this woman, and they go on this odyssey together. It’s a mix of psychological thriller and drama. I honestly feel like I’ve never seen a movie quite like it.” Tesfaye added, “This experience was really introspective and cathartic for me. From writing to production and through post — I realized just how much of a catalyst this art form can be for conversations about our emotions, mental health, and vulnerabilities.”

Hurry Up Tomorrow hits theaters on May 16.

Mustard Joins Kendrick Lamar’s Joint ‘Grand National Tour’ With SZA As The Opener

When Kendrick Lamar screamed his “TV Off” producer’s name over the song’s bridge, he not only turned Mustard into a meme, he also made the Long Beach DJ and producer into a household name — one that would become inextricably linked to Kendrick Lamar in America’s minds for the foreseeable future. Thanks to his role in producing both “TV Off” and Kendrick’s inescapable diss track “Not Like Us,” Mustard has been included in music videos and Kendrick’s Super Bowl performance, and will soon be added to Kendrick’s upcoming Grand National Tour with SZA as the opening DJ.

He announced his addition to the tour on Instagram, writing, “I’m joining Kendrick Lamar and SZA on the Grand National Tour. Had to look out for my fans. Cash App Card Holders have exclusive access to purchase newly released tickets on the floor.”

While Mustard’s biggest hits of the year were with Kendrick, he also released his own album, Faith Of A Mustard Seed, and its single, “Parking Lot” with Travis Scott, last year, extending his decade-long list of hits.

‘Neagley’: Everything To Know About The Fast-Tracked ‘Reacher’ Spin Off About The Big Guy’s Best Friend (April 2025 Update)

reacher-neagley-lg
Prime Video/Amazon

Prime Video/Amazon knows a good thing when they’re hit by it. In this case, the hits are coming from Reacher, who recently defeated the holy hell out of the Bigger Guy in the third season based upon Lee Child’s Persuader novel. A strong highlight of this season, as always, was the appearance of Maria Sten as Reacher’s best friend, Frances Neagley, who added insight on “Big Guys” (as we will discuss below) during the third season finale. She is also adored on social media and was a wise addition to the series.

Neagley is, of course, a character from the Jack Reacher novels who only appears in a few books, but on TV, she is the glue that is written into every season. She knew precisely how to send up an ATM-fueled flare to call Reacher into action in the Bad Luck and Trouble-adapting second season. She always knows what sandwich to order for him in a diner, and she reads him even better than any fan of Reacher books did before the show began. Lee Child previously revealed to Empire magazine how Neagley was initially planned as “a strategic decision” to help explain Reacher’s inexplicable deductions and “bolster the exposition,” but she turned into much more.

So when Amazon started to consider Reacher spin offs, they knew where to turn. Let’s get down to investigative business on what to expect from Neagley.

Plot

Prime Video/Amazon

If there was any doubt that Neagley could carry her own show, it evaporated when a thug implored her, “I’m bleeding out. Call me an ambulance,” to which Neagley calmly responded, “Okay, you’re an Ambulance,” and continued with her bowl of cereal. Then even skeptics were sold, and as Maria Sten posted on Instagram, “it’s officially official people! Neagley is happening!” Filming had already begun, and Sten added, “[O]ur creative team has cooked up an incredible show with such a stellar cast… all I can say for now is welcome to Neagley’s world. it’s time for coco pops!!”

From there, Prime Video/Amazon has unveiled a synopsis that suggests how Neagley, even though she will always be there when needed by Reacher, isn’t simply waiting around for his catastrophes to happen. Also, Alan Ritchson will appear in the spin off, too, and Amazon has delivered a logline:

Frances Neagley is a private investigator in Chicago. When she learns that a beloved friend from her past has been killed in a suspicious accident, she becomes hell-bent on justice. Using everything she’s learned from Jack Reacher and her time as a member of the 110 Special Investigators, Neagley puts herself on a dangerous path to uncover a menacing evil.

Also vital to this spin off’s set up: how well Neagley and Reacher go together, and how well they operate when they are apart. Over their years of working together as Army colleagues and beyond, she has crawled inside his head, and he’s surprisingly fine with this. In the third Reacher finale, Neagley even dropped this wisdom on the Big Guy (whose Army underlings made that nickname known a few seasons ago), and Reacher’s status as Physically Big Guy is now entirely delicious in context of how he feels about “big guys” who gain that status through power (and abuse of that power):

“It’s not because you need to put things right, and it’s not because you love the little guy. It’s because you hate the big guy. You hate the big, powerful, smug sons of bitches who think they can get away with things, so you make sure they don’t.”

Hoo boy. And as Neagley goes her own way in the spin off, we can also expect the franchise to keep building upon how she moves about the world in a way that sets her apart and also contributes to her brilliance. As Reacher once put it, she’s “not the scooch-in type,” so she won’t suddenly turn into a hugger, and as a quick side note, in Child’s Night School novel, Reacher mentioned that Neagley’s aversion to touch is actually rooted in haptephobia, which a fear of being touched by others. On TV, this doesn’t come across as a fear, which tells us a lot about how Neagley operates and maneuvers within missions.

Above all, we can count on her adherence to Reacher’s most reliable motto: “Details matter.” Here for it.

Cast

Prime Video/Amazon

The Reacher franchise is not skimping on this spin off. In addition to Maria Sten as Frances Neagley, Deadline revealed early that Ritchson is “set to appear on the spinoff as a guest star.” In a press release, Prime Video also announced five series regulars:

– Damon Herriman (Justified) as Lawrence Cole

– Matthew Del Negro (Mayor of Kingstown) as Pierce Woodrow

– Jasper Jones (King Ivory) as Keno

– Adeline Rudolph (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) as Renee

– Greyston Holt (The Night Agent) as Detective Hudson Riley

Release Date

Neagley will fill the gap in between Reacher seasons, so while the Big Guy is working on his fourth season, we can expect Maria Sten to be back much sooner. Lee Child believes that late 2025 is possible “with a bit of luck.”

Trailer

Since Amazon probably won’t have teaser material ready for a few months, and we’ve already discussed the all-important “ambulance” scene, there’s no time like the present to revisit Neagley’s cereal obsession as highlighted by Reacher.

Amazon also chose to highlight this third-season scene where Neagley’s ride-or-die status for Reacher was on display.

Cardi B Teases Some ‘Surprise’ Features On Her Much-Anticipated New Album

Is Cardi B finally releasing the follow-up to 2018’s Invasion Of Privacy? As of October 2024, it was “coming really, really soon.” It’s now 2025 and there’s still no release date, but the “Put It On Da Floor Again” rapper recently hopped on X Spaces to hype some “surprise” guests on the album.

“The features on my album are really good,” Cardi B said, according to HipHopDX. “I don’t have a lot of features, but I’m working with artists, some that I have worked with before and some that I haven’t worked with before. And the ones that I have not worked with before, I feel like it’s gonna really, really surprise y’all.” She added, “It’s such a vibe. I’m 100-percent confident with this album. I just don’t think what I got is out there.”

No one wants the album out more than Cardi B, who has pledged to go sex free until then. “I don’t even want to take d*ck right now. Every single time I take d*ck, I get distracted. I don’t want no distraction,” she said on social media earlier this year. “I put a little pause on my dating life because January is very, very, very, very important, and I have a mission to complete. And if I don’t complete this mission, it’s gonna f*ck up the schedule for this year.”

Lucy Dacus Turns In A Serene Cover Of Lady Gaga’s ‘Abracadabra’

Lucy Dacus 2025
Shervin Lainez

The main overlap in the Lucy Dacus and Lady Gaga Venn diagram lately is that they released two of 2025’s most-anticipated albums so far: Mayhem for Gaga and Forever Is A Feeling for Dacus, with both releases arriving in March. Now, it’s gotten a little bigger, as they’re also both artists who have performed the song “Abracadabra.”

Gaga, of course, release the song on Mayhem, and now Dacus has delivered a cover of it on BBC Radio 1 (listen to it here and find a partial video clip here). Naturally, it’s a major stylistic switch-up, as there’s not typically a lot of common ground between Dacus and Gaga’s musical output. Dacus is a pro, though, so pairing her signature haunting vocals with a sparse arrangement works out fantastically.

Speaking of pop stars, Dacus recently spoke about how Chappell Roan helped her through a bit of a rough patch, saying, “I had kind of a bad week a couple of weeks back, where putting out music just feels worse, and it made me wonder if I should just skip to the part of my life where I live off the land and have a job that isn’t my name [laughs]. And she was just like, ‘No, what you make is important and makes a lot of people feel less lonely.’ […] I’m just grateful to have made a new pal with such a good heart.”

Which Musicians Are Billionaires In 2025?

Taylor Swift Grammy Awards 2025 (1024x437)

Forbes has released its annual list of the world’s richest people, and if you’re someone who cancels your Amazon Prime membership a day before the free trial ends, you might want to skip the next paragraph.

A record 3,028 people are now certified billionaires, which is 247 more than last year; they’re collectively worth a reported $16.1 trillion, or “more than the GDP of every country in the world besides the US and China.”

One of the recent inductees into the club is Bruce Springsteen with a net worth of $1.2 billion. But that’s chump change compared to the other musician billionaires.

Which Musicians Are Billionaires In 2025?

No. 1462: Jay-Z ($2.5 billion)
No. 2110: Taylor Swift ($1.6 billion)
No. 2356: Rihanna ($1.4 billion)
No. 2623: Bruce Springsteen ($1.2 billion)

One musician who didn’t make the Forbes list is Selena Gomez, despite Bloomberg reporting last year that she’s worth $1.3 billion with much of her wealth coming from the “Younger And Hotter Than Me” singer’s Rare Beauty cosmetics business.

“I’m very grateful,” she said at the time. “I personally think it’s distasteful to talk about money, but I really am giving all the credit to people who buy the products. They’re the ones that made this dream of mine come true, so I’m really, really honored and just happy.”

Wet Leg Are Back With The Dance-Punk Single ‘Catch These Fists,’ The First Taste Of A New Album

This would be a cruel April Fools’ joke if it wasn’t true, but thankfully, it is: Wet Leg is back. Today (April 1), the group announced a new album, Moisturizer, which is set for release on July 11.

Wet Leg also shared a new single, “Catch These Fists,” which sees the group keeping it high-energy and keeping their distinct lyrical style as offbeat as ever, as the track opens, “Can you catch a medicine ball? / Can you catch yourself when you fall? / You should be careful, do you catch my drift? / ‘Cause what I really wanna know is can you catch these fists?” A press release notes the song’s lyrics stems from “an interaction with a belligerent man.”

The release also notes that “sh*tty men” aren’t the “sole focus” of the album, which also “contains love songs of every stripe: stressed-out, gooey-eyed, gratuitously horny, blissed out, obsessive and mysterious.” The project is also said to be “defined by its sheer exuberance and [Rhian] Teasdale ended up finding the process empowering.”

Furthermore, the band is set to hit The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on April 2 to give the song it’s television debut with a performance.

Watch the “Catch These Fists” video above and find the Moisturizer cover art and tracklist below.

Will There Be An ‘Anyone But You 2’ With Sydney Sweeney And Glen Powell?

anyone but you
sony

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell are both hot Hollywood commodities with jam-packed years to come. Presently, she has been filming The Housemaid and is pencilled in for Euphoria while also promoting the Christy Martin boxing biopic. He has been working on Edgar Wright’s The Running Man and A24’s Huntington while gearing up to promote Hulu’s Chad Powers. That’s only scraping the surface for the Anyone But You stars, but talk could again be perking up for a sequel push.

Will There Be An Anyone But You 2 With Sydney Sweeney And Glen Powell?

As of now, nope, but the door isn’t closed.

To back up for a moment, the pair’s chemistry while promoting Sony’s 2023 romcom was palpable. Sweeney and Powell later admitted that they “intended” to stoke relationship speculation with their “ton of effortless chemistry” and Powell further elaborating, “[S]ometimes you just have to lean into it a bit… Sydney is very smart.” So when the two were spotted hanging together in Dallas over this past weekend, it was only natural to wonder if something was afoot. A sequel to their hit movie, perhaps? Or maybe a real-life pairing?

Sweeney has reportedly ended her engagement to Jonathan Davino, so eyebrows did raise, but TMZ has reported that Sweeney and Powell both simply attended his sister’s wedding and rehearsal dinner in Dallas, and they did not do so “as a couple” with these further details offered by TMZ:

We’re told the “White Lotus” actress is attending the wedding with her best friend and RSVP’d months ago, way before she and her fiancé Jonathan Davino postponed their nuptials.

The source says Sydney is “very good friends with the Powell family” and has been “very close” with Glen’s sister Leslie Powell “for a long time.”

Sweeney was also photographed looking matchy with the bridesmaids, so yep, no Powell romance or sequel publicity shenanigans to see here. For the moment.

Still, this duo has been upfront about being open to sequel-ing together, so if they start holding onto mutual butts again, that’s a whole other thing.
