Jamie Lee Curtis fought Michael Myers for literally decades in the Halloween franchise, and that might be one of multiple reasons why she values rest in real life. And in the middle of Oscar season, one can imagine that sleep isn’t in plentiful supply, yet Curtis has made clear on where her priorities lie. As part of the ensemble cast of Everything Everywhere All At Once, Curtis has been on a whirlwind tour of glamorous events, including the recent Independent Spirit Awards, where the film cleaned up in some of the bigger categories.
Heading into Oscars weekend, though, Curtis is all for getting some shut eye ahead of Hollywood’s biggest night of the year. As seen in a Hollywood ReporterTikTok clip, the True Lies star isn’t here for 9:00 pm dinners and whatever happens (nothing good, in her eyes) in the aftermath:
“Why? Because mommy goes to bed early. ‘Cause 7:30 is gonna be 9 before we get food, and you know what? There’s nothing good happening with me after 9 o’clock. Nothing. Zero!”
Good on ya, Jamie Lee. She’ll undoubtedly be ready to roll on Oscars day to formally greet her Best Supporting Actress nomination, and the event broadcasts at 5:00pm PST. That airtime should be more to her preferences, and the film (along with lead actress Michelle Yeoh) is nominated in numerous categories, so it should be an evening to remember.
If online trolls thought that shaming Iggy Azalea for joining the subscription-based platform OnlyFans was going to get her to deactivate her account, they were wrong. In fact, just outside of the recent sale of her publishing catalog, becoming an OnlyFans content creator has proven to be one of the easiest and most financially lucrative moves she’s made in the last few years.
Initially, the rapper felt guilt around the decision due to the stigma surrounding the platform but during a recent interview on the High Low podcast hosted by model Emily Ratajkowski, Iggy shares that she no longer feels that way. The musician defended her OnlyFans profits and raised questions as to why she was forced to be apologetic about her body in the first place.
“Why do I have to be so apologetic about what I want to do with my own body? Why do I have to wait to enjoy things the way I want to,” the rapper questioned. “When I did it,” referring to joining the platform, “I thought I would want to cover it up, or I would lie about it… I didn’t think I’d lie I thought I’d just say no comment.”
Iggy ends with, “And after I did it I felt like, f*ck you guys, I’m not going to let you talk about this or whisper about it or make it bigger than it is because it shouldn’t be better than that it is.”
Later in the conversation, Iggy shared, “I made record labels so much money off my body. I made a lot of people so much money off my body and I got the smallest cut off my own f*cking body and my own work and my own ideas, ” adding, “I’m going to post pictures like that anyway because I like it and I think they’re beautiful, and I like my breasts. F*cking sorry!”
As it relates to her official earnings from the platform, Iggy shared, “I’m making so much money that I won’t say how much it is.”
Succession isn’t the only acclaimed HBO show that’s ending this year. Bill Hader has revealed that the fourth season of his hitman comedy Barry will also be its final season. HBO also released a teaser trailer for season four, which premieres on April 16th. “So help me God, if I get out of here, I’m coming for you,” Barry, who is in prison, says on the phone while covered in bruises and bandages. If NoHo Hank dies, I’m coming for you, Bill Hader.
“It was very much in the writing and the storytelling,” Hader told Variety. “I mean, a lot of people after last season were like, ‘Why are you doing another season? It should have just ended.’ But to me, there are still so many questions with the other characters, and with Barry — and there’s so many things unsaid.” He teased that season four will be “structurally radical in some ways, but it made sense for what I think the characters needed to go through, and what I think the whole show is always kind of headed towards.”
Hader was also asked whether he thinks it’s possible for frequent murderer Barry Berkman to be redeemed. “I mean, we asked ourselves that up to the ending,” he said. “Me and the writers, we would talk about it. I don’t know. I’m interested to see what people think about how it concludes. I don’t think he’s given up.”
Ivanka Trump made an interesting court filing in the pending trial that accuses the Trump Organization of committing real estate fraud. Ivanka reportedly joined her father and brothers in attempting to delay the trial, but she took a noticeably different approach that basically pointed the finger at everyone not named Ivanka.
According to Bloomberg reporter Erik Larson, Ivanka’s lawyers are arguing that she hasn’t been accused of “lying about her dad’s finances” and the complexity of the charges require more time because, again, she doesn’t appear to be implicated. However, her filings did accuse others of handling dear old dad’s financial filings.
“The Complaint does not contain a single allegation that Ms. Trump directly or indirectly created, prepared, reviewed, or certified any of her father’s financial statements,” her lawyer said in a filing. The suit alleges “that other individuals were responsible for those tasks”
“The Complaint does not contain a single allegation that Ms. Trump directly or indirectly created, prepared, reviewed, or certified any of her father’s financial statements,” her lawyer said in a filing. The suit alleges “that other individuals were responsible for those tasks”
The New York fraud case is not the first time that Ivanka has attempted to protect herself from her father’s legal troubles. During the January 6 investigation, Ivanka testified that she agreed with Attorney General Bill Barr’s assessment that there was no fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Upon learning of her remarks, Trump was furious and lashed out at his once-favorite daughter on Truth Social.
“Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, Election results,” Trump raged. “She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as Attorney General (he sucked!)”
Meanwhile, Tiffany Trump has yet to be implicated in either the New York fraud case or January 6 investigation, making her the clear winner of the Trump family’s version of Game of Thrones.
Jenna Ortega might be leaning into the whole “weirdo with a morbid personality” thing thanks to Wednesday Addams, but it seems like she has bigger plans for the character. After becoming a beloved Gen Z icon, Wednesday (the show and the character) is a huge hit for Netflix, though Ortega has opened up about how difficult it was for her to really get the feel for where the show, and her character, were headed.
Ortega was a guest on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert Podcast when she discussed the process of figuring out who Wednesday would really be, which took some time. “When I first signed on, I didn’t have all of the scripts, and I thought it was going to be a lot darker,” Ortega began, explaining that she was unsure of if the series would be geared more towards kids or more mature audiences. Shepard then asked how hard it was to balance out the juxtaposing of those dramatic scenes with, say, a gothic dance party. Ortega admitted it was difficult the way the character was written, via Indiewire:
“I don’t think I’ve ever had to put my foot down on a set the way I had to on Wednesday. It’s so easy to fall into that category, especially in this type of show. Everything that she does, everything that I had to play, did not make sense for her character at all. Her being in a love triangle made no sense. There was a line about a dress she has to wear for a school dance and she said, ‘Oh my god I love, it, ugh, I can’t believe I said that, I literally hate myself.’ And I had to go, ‘No.”
Ortega then explained that it was hard for her to grapple with some of Wednesday’s storylines, which inspired her to re-write scenes:
“There [were] times on that set where I even became like, unprofessional in a sense, I just started changing lines. The script supervisor thought that I was going with something and I would have to sit down with the writers and they would be like, ‘wait, what happened with the scene?’ And I would have to go through and explain why I couldn’t do certain things …. You can’t lead the story and have no emotional arc, because it’s boring and nobody likes you. When you are little and say very morbid, offensive stuff, it’s funny and endearing. But then you become a teenager and it’s nasty and you know it. There’s less of an excuse.”
Even though Ortega didn’t agree with some dialogue, she was still able to bring the show a massive fan base, which proves that her perspective as the lead is pretty valuable and pays off! Hopefully get some sort of writing credit for season two, though she later said that she prefers film. So maybe an Addams Family Values remake is in the cards.
Less than a year after releasing her critically-acclaimed sixth album Big Time, Angel Olsen has more new music on the way. Today (March 7), she has announced that she will be releasing a new EP called Forever Means next month.
Ahead of the new EP, Olsen has shared a new single called “Nothing’s Free.” Over a solemn, somber piano, Olsen comes to terms with the major shifts that come with getting older.
“Here it comes feel it break that old cell / The one you thought had kept you safe / But nothings free / Like breaking free / Out of the past these chains I know / I’ll never be more sure of anything,” Olsen sings on the track. As the tune progresses, we hear thumping drums and an emotional whirlwind of a saxophone bridge.
Olsen admitted that she originally wrote “Nothing’s Free” during the Big Time sessions.
“It felt really difficult to exclude it from Big Time,” Olsen said in a statement, “but it felt more soulful than the direction of that record, it was coming from a different place. For me, when I wrote it, I was coming to terms with my identity and sexuality. I was opening up in a new way.”
The rest of the Forever Means material was inspired by Olsen’s travels, as she embraces change throughout the four songs.

Barrymore and co-host Ross Mathews agreed that having animals in the bedroom can have a negative effect on a person’s sex life. “The only people who have been in my bed in the last seven years are my dogs and cats,” she said, “but if someone came over I’d be like, get out!” I would not recommend watching Get Out in the bedroom, either. It’s a bit of a mood killer.
Barrymore doubled down on her claims, saying she “can’t with the dog watching and the cats walking around.” Having repeated that “it’s a no no” for her, Mathews joked, “Listen, I’m pretty sure I’m still not doing it right. I’m confused half the time and you’re gonna put obstacles in my way? I’m already, like, failing.”
During the segment, Barrymore also said that she owns dogs, a cat, and a bearded lizard named Jeremy that sometimes chills in her bed, because of course it does. “But listen: a man comes over, you will think I own no animals,” she said, to which Matthews replied, “Yeah, get that lizard out of my bed.”
Maybe Jeremy wants some privacy, too. Have you ever thought about, huh? It’s a real turn-off to have the person who feeds you flies watching you while you’re trying to put the moves on some lady lizard.

From the very beginning of her third studio album, Red Moon In Venus, Kali Uchis makes it known that she’s far too much at peace for any ill will. Having spent the past three years adjusting to viral fame through TikTok hits and Latin chart toppers, Uchis has set up anticipation for fans to watch her grow as a promising artist in real-time. From the early days of her career, Uchis had developed a following through her collaborations with artists like Tyler The Creator and Steve Lacy. Songs of hers like “Tyrant,” “After The Storm,” and “Dead To Me” became essential components to the universe of HBO’s Insecure, and the timely “Telepatia,” which arrived at the height of the pandemic, became an anthem of longing for those missing their loved ones.
With Red Moon In Venus, Uchis has risen above the heartache and arrives to the peace she’s fought hard for over the course of the five years since her debut, Isolation.
After a brief intro called “In My Garden…,” the listener is instantly transported into “I Wish You Roses,” a soft, smooth anthem, on which, she wishes well to a past love. This was also the first Uchis dropped to kick off the Red Moon In Venus era, setting the stage for a calm-natured, principled Uchis.
“With pretty flowers can come the bee sting / But I wish you love / I wish you well / I wish you roses while you can still smell them,” she sings over an enchanting drum loop, reassuring her past love that she harbors no resentment, and will always have love for them, even if its from afar.
Red Moon In Venus isn’t a typical album about healing. It begins on a happy note, and the peaceful, easy tone carries throughout.
About midway through the album, she embraces her newfound love with Don Toliver on “Fantasy.” Here, she invites in the love she’s been missing for so long while accepting nothing less than the euphoric joy and boundless affection she deserves. “Babe, if you don’t worship me / It just don’t work for me,” she sings, making it known that while she’s on cloud nine, she’s not going to tolerate anything that will compromise her peace.
This album marks Uchis’ most cohesive to date, with smooth production throughout. Much of the tracks utilize simple drum patterns and smooth piano and synth arrangements, allowing Uchis’ silky, calming vocals to shine through. As her 2020 hit “Telepatia” from her sophomore album Sin Miedo (Del Amor Y Otros Demonios) brought her into pop fame, fans have been antsy to see what else Uchis can do.
Last year, Uchis teased that she would release both an English and a Spanish album in the near future. While much of the album is in English, listeners get a taste of the stylings for which they came to know and love her on songs like “Como Te Quiero Yo.” On this Spanglish cut, Uchis maintains the tranquil nature on which she set up the record, even amidst emotional turmoil.
“En la noche hasta amanecer / Ya no quiero más problemas / Te quiero en la cama y sin más complicación,” she sings, which means, “From night until the morning / I don’t want anymore problems / I want you in bed, with no more complications.”
At this point in her life, Uchis is firmly aware of what she wants in terms of romantic love. She is also unfazed by any negativity from haters or jealous people in her life, and makes it known on “Hasta Cuando.” On a particularly saucy line, she is aware of her own power, as well as the envy of other women toward her.
“Your girl talks sh*t about me just to feel better / About the fact that you’re still obsessed with me years later / At the end of the day, she’d eat my p*ssy if I let he / At the end of the day, she’d trade lives with me if God let her,” she rap-sings midway through the song.
With Red Moon In Venus, Uchis follows the formula of what makes her albums so great – poetic accounts of heartbreak, love, lust, and healing. But through the power of astrology, she is able to see the joy in the world around her, and let go of anything disturbing her peace. Granted, the album isn’t likely to boast mainstream hits, like “Telepatia” or “Tyrant,” but it does showcase Uchis’ ability to craft cohesive and timeless records.
Even after Red Moon In Venus, fans are looking forward to hearing Uchis’ upcoming Spanish project, which she says will also drop this year. With ten years in the game, a mixtape, two EPs, and three albums under her belt, Red Moon In Venus shows that Uchis is just getting started.
“I mean, there’s always Cameo, right?” – Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis to Deadline
Sudeikis may or may not have been joking with this remark, but let’s just say that he seems pretty sold on finishing Ted Lasso up with Season 3 on Apple TV+ over the coming months. The show’s recent trailer forecasted wins and losses, and a teaser revealed that the characters keep believin’ despite any upheaval, which may or may not be a slight bit of shade towards the silly backlash from a few vocal parties towards Season 2. Lasso and AFC Richmond will soon return with the show picking up slightly ahead of the packed spring TV schedule led by Succession and Yellowjackets.
For at least a year, Sudeikis has fielded seemingly endless questions about whether the show will continue after this third round, and while backstage at the 2022 Emmys ceremony, Jason pointedly declared that although the buck frequently passes to him on the subject, he wasn’t sure about the future of the show, and that such a decision would be down to numerous “factors other than myself.” In a new Deadline interview, Sudeikis appears to be breaking the news — while also expressing gratitude — that this (other than possible spinoffs) is the end of the line for Ted Lasso, and he hopes that people will be good with it:
“This is the end of this story that we wanted to tell, that we were hoping to tell, that we loved to tell. The fact that folks will want more and are curious beyond more than what they don’t even know yet—that being Season 3 — it’s flattering. Maybe by May 31, once all 12 episodes of the season [have been released], they’re like, ‘Man, you know what, we get it, we’re fine. We don’t need anymore, we got it.’ But until that time comes, I will appreciate the curiosity beyond what we’ve come up with so far.”
Previously, WB TV Group CEO Channing Dungey communicated something similar to Deadline, which is that Season 3 “end[s] beautifully.” Dungey added, ” I think the fans will be really happy and excited” if the show ends at that point in time, but hints of spinoffs seem to be the extent of a continuation. Other than Cameo!
Ted Lasso will return on March 15 with Sudeikis, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, Anthony Head, Juno Temple, Hanna Waddingham, Nick Mohammed, and more on board.
