Kanye West and wife Bianca Censori are often in the news for one reason or another, usually for something having to do with showing too much skin in public. Ye also frequently raises eyebrows with things he says, but we don’t hear Censori speak all that often. So, people were surprised by her voice when an old video of her talking recently made the rounds online.

As TMZ notes, the video sees Censori, for the 2022 CFS Summit in Paris, discussing her work as an architectural designer for Yeezy. The clips runs for nearly two minutes, and in it, Censori speaks plainly about her job, but it’s not what she says that has generated interest, but how she says it: with an Australian accent, as she’s originally from Melbourne.

Some were surprised to hear Censori speak, like one X (formerly Twitter) user who said, “That’s the first clip of her actually speaking I think anyone has found. Thats not what I expected.” Others didn’t understand the big deal, like another user who wrote, “Publicly known she’s Australian < Public surprised she has Aussie accent.”

As OK! notes, another commenter said, “Oh, she sounds normal. The L.A. valley girl uptalk has gotten to her a bit, but aside from that she sounds normal.” Somebody else said she sounds like “a typical Melbourner.”

Everyone knows that Whoopi Goldberg just does what she pleases at any given point, especially when it comes to her hosting duties. On a recent episode of The View, the ladies were discussing a viral Reddit post where a man admits to slow dancing with an ex to get back at his wife. That’s the kind of stuff that goes down on Reddit these days.

But Sunny Hostin, a famously jealous person, breaks down the interaction, which she did not approve of, “Apparently, his dance with his ex, who he has seen naked, was a slow, sexy dance,” she said, adding in her own modified take on the “sexy dance,” by dancing in her seat. That’s the kind of stuff that goes down on The View these days.

The dancing continued as the ladies discussed. Goldberg obviously couldn’t gloss over the moment, and called out Hostin’s “dance.” She said, “Are you itchy right now? Is that why you’re moving around like that?” Hostin did not respond to the bait, though Whoopi was obviously proud of herself.

Hostin concluded that the man should not have “slow danced” with his ex, while Whoopi could not care less. “Either you trust your man, or you don’t,” she said.

Then again, Whoopi has been on one lately. Between her alien conspiracies and alleged jail time, maybe she needs a little break from the ladies of The View. She can spend some time arguing on Reddit instead.

Following an increased number of rumors that Euphoria Season 3 has been canceled, HBO confirmed that the series has been delayed but will eventually release a third season in 2025. As for how this will affect the series burgeoning stars like Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, and Jacob Elordi varies from actor-to-actor.

All three have moved on to movie stardom, but there are clear signs that the Euphoria delay impacted their schedules as well as their castmates. Fortunately, most of them remain busy, so here’s where you can see the cast of Euphoria next while you patiently wait for Season 3.

What Is Zendaya Doing Next?

Up next for Zendaya is the sexy tennis drama Challengers, which hits theaters in April 2024. She’s also a producer for the biographical drama A White Lie. With Euphoria Season 3 taking a back seat, Zendaya’s schedule is surprisingly open, but we have a feeling it won’t stay that way for long, particularly if Sony and Marvel get a fourth Spider-Man movie off the ground.

What Is Sydney Sweeney Doing Next?

Right now Sydney Sweeney can be seen in Madame Web and Immaculate. After that, her next films are the thriller Echo Valley and Eden, which teams her with director Ron Howard. Sweeney is also attached to a remake of Barbarella, but that project is still in early development.

What Is Jacob Elordi Doing Next?

Of all the Euphoria kids, Jacob Elordi has the fullest schedule. His next projects include Frankenstein (as the titular monster, no less), Parallel, On Swift Horses, Oh Canada, and The Narrow Road to the Deep North.

What Is Barbie Ferreira Doing Next?

Barbie Ferreira bowed out of Euphoria Season 3, so she’s not affected by the delay. She can next be seen in the upcoming comedy/drama Bob Trevino Likes It followed by the back-to-back horror films Faces of Death and House of Spoils.

What Is Hunter Schaeffer Doing Next?

Hunter Schafer can be seen in the upcoming thriller Cuckoo. After that she has packed schedule with Mother Mary, Palette, Kinds of Kindess and voice work for the video game OD.

What Is Maude Apatow Doing Next?

As of this writing, Maude Apatow has no pending projects except for Euphoria Season 3. However, you can catch her doing voice work for the AMC animated series Pantheon.

What Is Alexa Demie Doing Next?

Alexa Demie also has no pending projects except Euphoria Season 3.

What Is Angus Cloud Doing Next?

Tragically, Angus Cloud passed away in July 2023. However, the actor still had two projects that have yet to be released. He can next be seen in Freaky Tales followed by Abigail. Both projects are slated for release in 2024.

Euphoria Seasons 1 and 2 are available for streaming on Max.

Fans of The Boys TV show who read the source material waited years for “Herogasm.” Now, Invincible, another Amazon Prime Video series based on a popular comic book series, will have its “Herogasm” moment (minus the “airborne penetration,” dildo-based maiming,” and “icicle phalluses”).

On Thursday, the show’s official X account wrote, “Turns out the funniest joke in the comic works in the show too!!!” along with a clip from season two, episode seven. In it, Mark (voiced by Steven Yeun) meets a comic book creator named Filip Schaff (Tim Robinson) (!!) whose face is obscured the first time we see him. It’s part of a lengthy joke about animated shows cutting corners to save money. “You ever notice that sometimes whoever’s speaking has their mouth off camera so you never see their lips moving?” Filip says off camera. When the scene cuts back to Mark, he has his hand over his mouth.

The conversation continues:

Filip: “Or we’ll cut to the back of someone’s head when they’re talking for the same reason. Other times we’ll do a wide shot and slowly pan across it. It looks like it’s animated but it’s so far away you don’t notice nothing’s moving. The best part is, because all these scenes have limited animation, we can make the drawings even better. But sometimes the artists get carried away and it kind of looks like a different show. It’s crazy what you can get away with. Thanks for coming by!

Mark: “No, thank you! I’m gonna watch season two way closer.”

You can watch the clip below.

Invincible season two is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video.

Some of the best and the most frightening internet moments took place on Tumblr in the 2010s. But throughout all of the memes and poorly aged posts, there was one good thing that was born on the blogging site, and that’s the popular webcomic Heartstopper.

What began as a comic by Alice Oseman before turning into a graphic novel, the live-action Heartstopper series debuted on Netflix in 2022 and became an instant hit with the young adult crowd. The adaptation, which was also penned by Oseman, follows two shy teens who form a unique bond and subsequently fall in love while dealing with the ups and downs of high school. Their hearts don’t stop literally (this is not a medical drama, to be clear).

Seasons two and three were ordered back in 2022, and soon a whole new batch of episodes will head to Netflix. Here is everything we know so far.

Plot

Oseman says that season three will continue to explore the source material and follow the aftermath of the season two revelation where Charlie confirmed his true feelings for Nick. Seasons one and two covered the first three volumes in the graphic novel series, and season three is expected to take some plot points from volume four.

“People who have read the comics will know what’s going to happen, but I don’t want to spoil it for people who haven’t been reading the comics,” Oseman told Netflix’s Tudum. “I think [Season 2’s ending] just sets up that conversation for next season. We know that Charlie loves Nick, and I think we know that Nick loves Charlie as well. It’s just about when and how they’re going to say that to each other.”

Here is the official synopsis:

As the summer holiday ends and the months race on, the friends begin to realize that the school year will come with both its joys and its challenges. As they learn more about each other and their relationships, plan social events and parties, and start thinking about university choices, everyone must learn to lean on those they love when life doesn’t go.

We do know that the first episode of the season will be titled “Love.” Not surprising!

Cast

Kit Conner and Joe Lock will return as Nick and Charlie, respectively, along with some new faces. Oseman confirmed that Darragh Hand joined the cast as Michael, another character from the “Osemanverse.”

Yasmin Finney, William Gao, Tobi Donovan, Corinna Brown and Rhea Norwood are also slated to appear. Sebastian Croft, who portrayed Ben in seasons one and two, has confirmed that he is not appearing in season three. Neither will Olivia Colman, unfortunately.

Release Date

Season three went into production last fall, and filming wrapped right around the holidays. The season is slated for an October release, so we will likely get more info as we get closer. Like previous seasons, there will be eight episodes in total.

Trailer

While Netflix has not yet released a trailer for season three, Oseman did share some behind-the-scenes footage that will surely hype up any Heartstopper fan. It might even stop some hearts.

Megan Thee Stallion recently announced her Hot Girl Summer Tour. She’s spent much of her time in recent weeks hyping it up, sometimes in ways that get the attention of Instagram’s moderation teams: Earlier this month, she revealed she received a warning from the platform over one of her recent promo posts. Based on the content of her latest posts, it seems like those could end up meeting the same fate.

Yesterday (March 27), Meg shared a video of herself twerking and showing off some outfits. The most noteworthy of them is a two-piece look featuring short-short-short shorts and a cropped t-shirt. The shirt says “best tits on Instagram” on it, while the shorts correspondingly read, “best ass on Instagram.”

She later followed up with another post that shows off the same outfit some more.

As for those tour dates, check them out below.

Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

In the annals of Hot Ones history, only a handful of the show’s guests have been unable to complete the gauntlet of Wings Of Death. Unfortunately for breakout star Ice Spice, she has joined the rolls of the Hall Of Shame, failing to finish her interview, despite having “Spice” in her name (I swear I did not mean for that to rhyme). At least she’s in good company; fellow rappers who also dropped the ball include E-40, Lil Yachty, Pusha T, Quavo, and Shaquille O’Neal (if we count his four rap albums of the 1990s).

The “Boy’s A Liar” rapper is working up to the release of her debut album, Y2K, which she said releases this year after finishing it earlier this month. Host Sean Evans got some insight into her creative process, which is the opposite of the usual “record 50 songs and whittle it down” approach. He also invited Spice to explain how she writes her catchy hooks, her car test, and her bond with producer RiotUSA, including the iconic “Stop playin’ with ’em, Riot” tag.

However, despite Ice’s prediction that “I think I can get through this,” but as with others before her, the sauce that took her out was the infamous #8: Da Bomb: Beyond Insanity. She tapped out just ahead of wing #9, saying, “I’m not gonna do that to my throat,” as the Hot Ones producers played a montage of prior early withdrawals. She seemed to be a good sport about it, and maintained her composure better than some (there probably won’t be too many memes hitting the socials from this episode) while delivering some truly good answers, she just couldn’t get over the line. Better luck next time, Ice!

Emily Ratajkowski: model, author, jewelry recycler.

Last week, EmRata shared a topless photo on Instagram to celebrate her divorce — and to show off her divorce rings. They were made from her engagement ring, which she had no use for once she split from ex-husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard, who has since been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women. “The rings represents my own personal evolution,” Ratajkowski explained to Vogue. “I don’t think a woman should be stripped of her diamonds just because she’s losing a man.”

Ever since Ratajkowski’s photo hit Instagram, divorce rings have been “having a moment,” jewelry historian Sasha Nixon told the New York Times. Another jeweler, Rachel Boston, added, “Breaking the association from the original ring is important. Turning it into a completely different type of jewelry is a great way to do this. Emily Ratajkowski’s original toi-et-moi ring was hugely popular, and these new rings will no doubt be equally influential.”

Ratajkowski took to the divorce ring because she wants to embrace that “leaving a relationship is often a remarkable and brave act. I really would like to see single moms — or women starting over for the first time in a terrifying way — find some kind of solace in the idea that they’re not failures for leaving.”

Roman Reigns was done with WWE. As the COVID-19 pandemic hit the United States in March 2020, and absent any protocols to keep him or his family safe, Reigns made the decision to walk away from the WWE ahead of a scheduled WrestleMania 36 match against Goldberg.

“He considered himself retired. He wasn’t coming back,” Paul Heyman tells Uproxx Sports.

“I was executive director of Monday Night Raw, and Roman was assigned to SmackDown. But every week I heard all the SmackDown writers and producers and personnel saying, ‘God, I just wish Roman would come back.’ And I would ask, has anybody talked to him? Yeah, he says he’s retired. He’s not coming back. No way. Thanks a lot. Done. Finished. Goodbye. So the fact that he came back for this run, for what we have accomplished, is nothing short of a miracle because as far as he was concerned, he was out.”

Without his return, we don’t get the Tribal Chief, a title run right up with the best of them, and very possibly one of the greatest long-term stories in professional wrestling history.

The latest subject of A&E’s “Biography: WWE Legends” series, Reigns was approached by A&E to document his life, his WWE journey, and his run to the top. In a move that matches their onscreen dynamic and to ensure the direction of the documentary matched his passion for everything he’s involved in, Reigns tapped Heyman as the director.

“I was blessed with the opportunity to collaborate with the top star in the entire industry, the WrestleMania main event eventer, the biggest box office attraction in sports entertainment, the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, on a biography that documents what it’s like for him to be living that life at this very moment,” Heyman continues.

For Heyman, his creative direction was to give insight into how special this particular moment is and everything that led up to it.

“This is not just another top guy. This is the person that disrupted the status quo,” Heyman says. “This is a man of such vision and pursuit of greatness that he lifted this entire industry out of the pandemic and into unfathomable heights.”

Everything about this documentary is unique. From the presentation, at times showing Heyman behind the camera speaking with Reigns, to the subject. It’s more than detailing how Reigns got to where he is. It’s a story about family, the Bloodline and the deeper meaning behind everything we’ve seen on television over the past decade.

The story features commentary from top stars in the industry, with Hulk Hogan, the Undertaker, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin, Triple H, and John Cena weighing in on Reigns’ greatness. It follows him throughout life, with an introduction to the Usos, his football career, and eventually his journey to WWE.

Reigns’ story details his run with the Shield, resistance to moving out on his own, and his conflict with becoming a ‘good guy’ on television. But for every setback — we see the real-life letdown after Seth Rollins cashes in his Money in the Bank contract at WrestleMania 31 — it was all part of the process in the development of the Tribal Chief.

“Roman Reigns could never have gone from being the Big Dog to becoming the Tribal Chief if he didn’t live those moments, if he didn’t have those successes, if he didn’t suffer from those failures,” Heyman continues.

Heyman calls being part of the Tribal Chief run one of his “life’s greatest honors.”

“It’s an uncompromising pursuit of relevancy and greatness together at the same time, at all costs,” Heyman says. “We’re going to propel this industry into the future and innovate and do things that have never been done before while respecting the past. That level of respect for the culture, of the roads paved before us, and the desire to pave new roads that others will follow is unlike anyone I’ve ever met.”

In the biography, Reigns details how this run doesn’t happen on his own. He speaks on the moment he took the Universal Championship and the top spot, and how at that very moment it was time to form the Bloodline. It was time to get the Usos involved, and as they reached great heights, how it was time to bring in Solo Sikoa.

“What goes into (making this so successful)? Love, respect, and a matching desire to achieve greatness and to top what we’ve done before. The discussion that we always have is if we can watch ourselves from a televised show a month ago and we can stand watching that, we haven’t improved enough. We haven’t grown,” Heyman says.

“That’s the level of growth that Roman Reigns wants. And I love that. I’ve always felt that way. I’ve always wanted to push, push, further and further to disrupt. And then to disrupt the disruption. The goal is to be better tomorrow than you are today, and better two days from now than you are tomorrow, and this biography captures that. You see how much we crave going after a level of greatness that is yet to be achieved.”

Heyman has worked with the best of the best, but speaks of Reigns in glowing terms. He says it’s “quite rare” to have someone equally invested in achieving greatness and constantly pushing toward that.

“It’s why so many things in sports and in entertainment are temporary. It’s why once the chase is over and the person achieves the goal, you’re on to the next thing,” Heyman continues.

“The old story of the moment the referee’s hand hits three, the crowning of the new champion, the promoter sits back and goes, ‘What a payoff to that moment. Okay, let’s see who’s next.’ And it’s immediately thinking of the replacement who’s next to win that title. And that’s never been us. We’ve always taken the position of this is the number one act in the entire industry. And how do we move that forward? And who do we add to the mix and include in this run and what are their contributions to make this run even greater?”

What makes the story of the Tribal Chief great has been a perfect blend of timing, components of real life coming into play, and everyone knowing their role.

“Knowing your role is, to me, the most important thing. If you’re the lead in this story on this show for this moment, and you’re carrying the story on the mic, then everything around you should scream, listen to what this person says. The spotlight should be on you,” Heyman says.

“So if I’m there for support, if I’m in the same frame as Roman Reigns and he’s speaking, then my job as the supporting player in this scene is to let you know that what he’s saying has great meaning. My reaction will help designate what your reaction is. In other words, I know my role and if everyone else knows their role, my God what a story we can tell.”

Heyman’s role with Reigns is another reminder of his impact on this industry. Every star that came before him and his role behind the scenes in creating some of the most captivating television in wrestling history is why he’ll be forever immortalized as part of the WWE Hall of Fame class this year in Philadelphia.

He admits he’s turned down the WWE Hall of Fame multiple times because he never really wanted to do it while he was still actively pursuing other accomplishments.

“My goal now is to make everyone regret putting me into the Hall of Fame this year,” Heyman says. “Because the run from ’65 when I was born to 2024 pales in comparison to what I do from 2024 on. Otherwise, what am I doing? I’m accepting a Lifetime Achievement Award and I’m doing a run that people go, ‘Hey, he should have gotten out while the getting was good.’ And that’s not me.”

Heyman says he’s accepting this year because it’s in “Philly and that’s a unique opportunity.” He says his kids have been nagging him to go into the Hall of Fame and this year offers a unique opportunity to do it while in the middle of a historic run.

“Roman Reigns is headlining both nights of WrestleMania. So to accept this Hall of Fame award while still ruling from the Island of Relevancy is such a unique opportunity, I’d be a fool not to accept it,” Heyman says.

The other part of his decision to join the Hall of Fame comes from the respect he has for Triple H, also known as WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Paul Levesque.

“Perhaps most profoundly to me, at least, I’m the first person that was named to the Hall of Fame and headlining the Hall of Fame when the Hall of Fame class is the responsibility of Paul. I have the greatest amount of respect imaginable for the job Paul Levesque has done as the Chief Content Officer. The shoes he has to fill, the expectations he has to surpass, the accomplishments that he has to follow and now top is a weight that he carries with class, style, and dignity. And I admire not only the job that he does, but the manner in which he does it,” Heyman continues.

“So for me to have turned down this enormous honor that Paul Levesque bestowed upon me, of being the very first person he named to be inducted into his class, let alone headline, to turn that down would, would dishonor Paul Levesque and the job that he’s done and the man that he is. It would discredit him. It would disrespect him, and I will never do that. I will forever be appreciative that I’ve witnessed this era, that I’ve been a part of it, that I’ve been allowed to contribute to it. And let alone be a driving force behind the biggest star, Roman Reigns. And I will forever be appreciative of the fact that I have a chance, by accepting, to demonstrate my level of respect and admiration for Paul Levesque himself.”
