Plain White T’s Reacted To Drake & Snowd4y’s Confusing ‘Wah Gwan Delilah,’ And It’s So Wholesome

Drake has found himself at the center of another confusing AI conversation, except this one probably won’t prompt legal action from Tupac Shakur’s estate like “Taylor Made Freestyle” did. Earlier this week, Snowd4y posted “Wah Gwan Delilah” featuring Drake — or claiming to feature Drake, at least — on SoundCloud. Drake posted the song on his Instagram Story, further clouding whether the song is real or AI-generated.

Regardless, it exists. And Plain White T’s have thoughts.

On Wednesday, June 5, Plain White T’s posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) showing the band reacting to “Wah Gwan Delilah.” The video is captioned, “The T’s were too stunned to speak…” In the 42-second video, lead singer Tom Higgenson can’t suppress his displeased facial expressions. He bobs along to the familiar instrumentals but shakes his head before saying, “That’s not Drake. It’s crazy that everybody thinks that it’s real. It seems like it’s very obvious. I don’t know, but it’s cool. Whatever.”

If you haven’t yet figured it out, “Wah Gwan Delilah” is a cover of Plain White T’s “Hey There Delilah,” the band’s biggest hit that peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2007. To really drive home the early-2000s of it all, Higgenson has confirmed that the song was inspired by a real girl named Delilah whom he kept in touch with through AOL Instant Messenger.

Beabadoobee Misses Her Boyfriend And Cats In ‘Coming Home,’ A Sweet Single From ‘This Is How Tomorrow Moves’

Beabadoobee will be away from home for most of September due to her headlining This Is How Tomorrow Moves Tour. And based upon the lyrics in her newly released “Coming Home” single, Beabadoobee will miss the comforts of her mundane routine while performing her forthcoming Rick Rubin-produced This Is How Tomorrow Moves album for adorning crowds.

“You do the dishes, I’ll carry the load,” the indie-pop star sings. “To make up lost time / The trash to the brim, and I’m scared of it / But you always know just what to say / And I’m sorry, if I’m coming home too late.”

“I wrote it in a hotel room in LA when I was away from my boyfriend, my loved ones, my two cats,” Beabadoobee said in a statement, according to a press release. “It opens with all the little mundane things like doing the dishes, that I miss because I’m always away. Really, it’s just a cute little love song with a weird non-existent structure.”

Beabadoobee previously released the melodic, impulsive “Take A Bite” from This Is How Tomorrow Moves, which is due out on August 16. The subsequent This Is How Tomorrow Moves Tour is scheduled to begin in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on September 8. The general onsale is set for Thursday, June 6, at 10 a.m. local time.

‘Silo’ Season 2: Everything To Know About Rebecca Ferguson’s Next Sci-Fi Trip Underground (Update For June 2024)

Rebecca Ferguson Silo Apple TV+
Apple TV / Merle Cooper

Rebecca Ferguson kicked butt in the Mission: Impossible movies, so it only makes sense that she would receive her own leading action role. Of course, “action” isn’t the first word that comes to mind when it comes to Hugh Howey’s novels, but this series has capitalized upon Ferguson’s physical capabilities for Silo. If you’ve seen the first season, then you damn well know that the power-generator-repair episode stands in the all-time greats of nail-biting, adrenaline pumping displays of wiry physicality with Ferguson’s Juliette risking her life to bring the lights back on for thousands of undergrounders.

The overall feel of the series thus far has been more hands-on and less sci-fi than viewers initially might expect, but that could change when Season 2 begins to stream. What can we expect to happen next? The post-apocalyptic Apple TV+ series — adapted from Howey’s riveting and at-times infuriating books (Wool, Shift, and Dust) — has thus far churned towards sleeper status, but that’s the nature of the first book as well. This character-based adventure is about to start hopping back and forth between silos, which was suggested in the first season finale when the exiled Juliette emerged above ground and became the first person to disappear over the hill. Will the second season directly adhere to Howey’s next book, though? That’s a conundrum.

Plot

As readers are aware, the second book, Shift, is where things truly go off the rails with this saga. The narrative hops back and forth in time to follow a new protagonist, Donald, as well as a crew of workers who — without spoiling the book — inhabit another silo. Of course, the first season ended in a cliffhanger that showed a field full of silos, and Juliette does not appear right away in the second book, so it remains to be seen whether showrunner Graham Yost will follow the books or jump ahead in the source material to where Juliette becomes the main focus again. We haven’t heard any concrete casting news on Howey’s characters of the second novel, so let’s just say that Apple TV+ is doing a fantastic job of keeping a lid on such developments.

What do we know, though? Rebecca Ferguson told Collider that the show will have a definitive ending point that has been determined. Also, she suggests that there will not be big surprises for those who have read the books, so perhaps that means we will see those other characters soon after all:

“I mean, the books are the books, and the three books are divided into four seasons. So I believe — unless any Apple person is gonna jump on — I think we’re absolutely fine to say Season 1 we’ve done, Season 2 is shot and coming out, and we’re now looking at green-lighting Seasons 3 and 4. I think we would film them maybe together, and that will be the end.”

Additionally, Ferguson has let fly that the second season gets really “wet” and “intense” for Juliette, so it sounds like a key sequence of the book will be showcased for more action. The architecture of the show appears to be set in stone by Yost, and second-season filming is complete, so I’m hoping that they get the casting right. There has been a huge vote of confidence from Hugh Howey, however, who has teased that he has seen the second season “and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen.” Now we need to know what Howey thinks of Common’s leather jacket (Common has already given his answer on the subject), and fair warning….

POTENTIAL SPOILERS might be found in the casting section below.

YEP, SPOILERS.

Cast

In the book, Juliette drains the heck out of Silo 17, but more importantly, she meets Solo, who has been living alone (as far as he knows) for decades after his silo experienced catastrophe. The casting of Solo would have been an enormous feat that needs to be hit just right because Howey fans love the guy. Since Apple TV+ is being so secretive about second-season casting for new characters, it’s worth hopping over to Reddit to see what people are obsessing about. Nominations over there include Steve Zahn or Jason Mantzoukas as Solo, which are honestly pretty good guesses. I’d also like to toss Walton Goggins into the figurative ring even though I damn well know that he’s too busy to join another show.

When it comes to Silo 1’s inhabitants or those who came before the apocalypse, Reddit is pulling hard for Sigourney Weaver as Dr. Erskine, Adam Scott as Donald, Jon Hamm as Senator Thurman, and Jessica Chastain as Anna. Hey, Alden Ehrenreich would make a fine Donald, too.

Naturally, we can expect to see more of Common’s ridiculous leather jacket as Sims and Tim Robbins as Bernard, but overall, we are receiving more Rebecca Ferguson as Juliette.

Release Date

Since filming has wrapped and the series is in post-production, surely Apple TV+ will make a release date official soon. In the meantime, Ferguson recently lamented, “We don’t have a release date. We have something we’re working towards. I have all 10 episodes of studio cuts, but then it’s grading VFX, and there’s so much that needs to be done. I think we’re hoping for a date, and I think we’re pushing for it.”

Trailer

Some actual footage would be welcomed by fans at any moment, but for now, here’s Ferguson and a red-carpet statement necklace telling Variety about how “wet” the next season will be.

How Many Episodes Are In ‘The Last Of Us’ Season 2?

ellie s2
hbo

House of the Dragon and The Last of Us have a lot in common: they’re both mega-popular, mega-expensive HBO series that are based on existing properties. Another similarity is reduced episode counts in their sophomore seasons: House of the Dragon went from 10 episodes to 8, while The Last of Us season 2 will be even shorter, at only seven episodes long.

Creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann explained why in an interview with Deadline. “The story material that we got from Part II of the game is way more than the story material that was in the first game, so part of what we had to do from the start was figure out how to tell that story across seasons,” Mazin said. “When you do that, you look for natural breakpoints, and as we laid it out, this season, the national breakpoint felt like it came after seven episodes.”

He continued:

“We don’t think that we’re going to be able to tell the story even within two seasons [2 and 3] because we’re taking our time and go down interesting pathways which we did a little bit in season 1 too. We feel like it’s almost assuredly going to be the case that — as long as people keep watching and we can keep making more television — season 3 will be significantly larger. And indeed, the story may require season 4.”

Mazin also hinted that season 2 will have a “quite big” episode. Maybe not feature length, but long enough to listen to a Linda Ronstadt song a few extra times. “I like generally hitting about an hour, it’s a great length, I love working in that format. What we don’t want to do is, say a season of seven episodes where each episode is 90 minutes; part of why we’re doing seven episodes is finding that nice line,” he said.

The Last of Us season 2 returns to HBO and Max in 2025.

How To Buy Tickets To Kendrick Lamar’s ‘The Pop Out — Ken & Friends’ Concert

If you’re in LA, odds are, you’re going to want tickets to Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming concert at the Forum. “The Pop Out — Ken & Friends” concert is slated for June 19 at 4 PM with PgLang and Free Lunch. You can find out how you can get tickets to the show below.

If you have a Cash App Card, you will have access to an exclusive presale on June 6, beginning at 10 AM. If not, you can participate in the general sale on Friday, June 7 at 10 AM. Of course, you can always try your luck after that on resale sites like SeatGeek, StubHub, and VividSeats.

You can find more information about the sales on Ticketmaster.com.

The Ken & Friends concert is the culmination of a strong year for Mr. Duckworth, as he secured his second solo Hot 100 No. 1 with the Drake diss track “Not Like Us.” The song also reportedly pulled in a little over a quarter of a million dollars, validating its status as one of the few times rap beef actually paid off for a participant.

Before that, Kendrick nabbed his third overall No. 1 with “Like That,” another song calling out Drake (I’m sensing a theme here), which appeared on Future and Metro Boomin’s joint album, We Don’t Trust You. So yeah, I’d say it’s been a good year all around for Kendrick Lamar, and now, he’s sharing the wealth with his hometown show.

‘Avatar 3’: Everything To Know So Far About James Cameron’s Threequel That Will Reveal Another Side Of Pandora

avatar
20th century studios

There is only one thing that James Cameron loves more than water, and that is a sequel. What happens when you combine the two? You get Avatar: The Way Of Water. Add in a couple billion bucks and then you have the currently untitled Avatar 3.

Cameron has been working on the third installment in the sci-fi franchise seemingly forever, though filming for the second and third movies took place simultaneously beginning in 2017. In September 2020, Cameron confirmed that the third film was “95% done” and revealed earlier this year that it’s “in the can.”

“We’re shooting pick-ups on 3, which is just filling in the last 2 or 3%, and we’ve also got live-action pick-ups in June, that’s another couple percent,” he told Screen Rant. Even though his math is a little off, he’s still optimistic. “We’ve got about a quarter of movie 4 in the can. We’re post on 3 and now doing the VFX, which is an enormous job. I’ll need every second between now and then to get it done.” It only took about four years to get the rest of the 4% done!! By this rate, we’ll get Avatar 4 by 2065. To Cameron’s credit, a lot of thees delays were not his fault.

Now that the movie is coming to life, here is everything you need to know about the upcoming sequel, which is NOT called The Seed Bearer, by the way.

Plot

The first two movies in the Avatar universe introduce fans to the lush world of Pandora, which is being threatened by humans who want to use the planet and its resources. In the second film, Sully has fully leaned into his Avatar life and raises his three children alongside Neytiri as they venture to the Metkayina oceanic clan in order to escape The Research Development Administration, aka the RDA, a.k.a. the humans of Earth.

The third film will explore the universe even more by showcasing the various cultures of Pandora — and not all of them are good. Cameron told French publication 20 Minutes that the film will explore “different cultures from those I have already shown. The fire will be represented by the ‘Ash People.’ I want to show the Na’vi from another angle because, so far, I have only shown their good sides.”

The film will also give Sully’s son Lo’ak a more prominent voice in the series. Cameron confirmed that there will be multiple narrators in the next movie. “I think it could be intriguing for people to think about what’s coming. Jake was our voiceover narrator for movie 1 and movie 2, and we have a different narrator for each of the subsequent films. We see it through the eyes of a different character, and movie 3 is through Lo’ak’s eyes.”

Cast

The main crew will be returning, including Sam Worthington as Jake Sully, Zoe Saldaña as Neytiri, Sigourney Weaver as Kiri, Stephen Lang as Colonel Miles Quaritch, Kate Winslet as Ronal, and Giovanni Ribisi as Parker Selfridge.

As for newbies, David Thewlis will portray a new character named Peylak, while Michelle Yeoh has signed on as Dr. Karina Mogue, a human scientist. Oona Chaplin will portray Varang, the leader of the “Ash People” clan.

Release Date

After nine (!!!) changed release dates, the current release date is December 19th 2025, but that could change.

Trailer

While we don’t have a trailer quite yet, James Cameron has confirmed that the film is basically done, so he could potentially drop footage any day now, but we probably won’t be seeing anything until later in the year.

Here is the trailer for the second installment, which is now on Disney+.

Kendrick Lamar is hip-hop’s man of the hour after his battle with Drake. Not only has he been widely hailed as the victor of his and Drake’s lyrical exchange, but one of his shots at Drake, “Not Like Us,” has become culturally ubiquitous, even going viral for appearing in local news reports.

So why not take a victory lap?

That’s exactly what Kendrick will do, announcing a new show, “The Pop Out — Ken & Friends,” at LA’s Kia Forum on June 19. Tickets go on sale on June 7 at 10 AM, with a Cash App Card Pre-Sale Thursday, June 6 at 10 AM.

“Let me tell y’all the records I’m excited for,” Martin told fans. “I’m excited for YG’s album, I’m excited for Mustard’s album. I’m excited for a lot of people, but there’s two albums, I’m going crazy, I can’t wait ’til they drop: Roddy Ricch album and whenever Kendrick drops his album. I’m excited for those two. Those two Compton artists is like, I’m excited.”

‘Reacher’ Star Alan Ritchson Shared His ‘Quick’ Workout For ‘Naked Scenes’

Reacher Alan Ritchson
Prime Video

Want to look like Reacher? Well, unless you’re 6′ 3″ and appear like you can knock down a tree with a single punch, good luck. But Reacher star Alan Ritchson provided some tips on how anyone can bulk up for Hot Reacher Summer — especially if you have a nude scene on the horizon.

“Have naked scenes coming up?” he wrote on Instagram (I don’t but thank you for asking). “Here’s a quick pre work workout pump for you. 30 min or less.” Ritchson’s routine, which he filmed and shared, begins with a “new PR on the stairs,” followed by 4 x 25 low cable fly, 4 x 25 shoulder press (“with some Arnolds mixed in”), turn around, 4 x 25 high row, 4 x 25 leg press at 300 pounds or 4 x 15 at 400 pounds, and finally, 4 x 25 calf raises.

This is the only way to beat Even Bigger Reacher.

Ritchson previously told Men’s Health that he eats 4,000 calories per day when he’s in Reacher mode. “If I stop working out for a little bit, and I’m still on that, I’ve trained my body to eat 4,000 calories a day, it would take me about three weeks to blow up,” he explained. “So it does take a lot of consistency. I work out about five days a week. It’s got to be a lifestyle.”

The man works hard for his cookie dough.

Reacher returns to Prime Video for season 3 in 2025.
