Month: August 2024

Rachel Zegler is unfortunately used to dealing with trolls on social media. She’s also great at shutting them down.

On Monday, an angry X user commented on a picture of Zegler with “someone should kill you” in a since-deleted tweet, according to UNILAD. In response, she wrote, “fun fact i will be dying eight times a week on broadway this fall!!!!! get your tickets, lee! also @FBI.” Reporting a death threat and getting in a plug for Romeo + Juliet on Broadway? Now that’s how you do it.

Zegler, who is of Colombian and Polish descent, is playing “skin white as snow” Snow White in Disney’s live-action remake of the 1937 film, which pissed off the kind of people who make anonymous death threats on X. The West Side Story actress discussed the “nonsensical discourse” around her casting in a conversation with Andrew Garfield for Variety.

“Never in a million years did I imagine that this would be a possibility for me,” she said. “You don’t normally see Snow Whites that are of Latin descent. Even though Snow White is really a big deal in Spanish-speaking countries. Blanca Nieves is a huge icon whether you’re talking about the Disney cartoon or just different iterations and the Grimm fairy tale and all the stories that come with it.”

Zegler continued, “But you don’t particularly see people who look like me or are me playing roles like that. When it was announced, it was a huge thing that was trending on Twitter for days, because all of the people were angry. We need to love them in the right direction. At the end of the day, I have a job to do that I am really excited to do. I get to be a Latina princess.”

Snow White is scheduled to be released on March 21, 2025, while Romeo + Juliet — which also stars Kit Connor — opens in previews on September 26.

Taylor Swift and her fans faced a scary situation recently: Last week, Austrian police arrested two men who were planning terror attacks at major events in Vienna, including Swift’s concerts. The Vienna concerts ended up getting canceled, and this led to questions about whether Swift would still perform her upcoming shows at London’s Wembley Stadium.

As of now, the shows are still going on as scheduled, although some times have been changed.

As Billboard reports, for the August 15 show, early entry will start at 3:30 p.m. local time, then general admission begins at 4. Both of those times are pushed up by 15 minutes from the originally scheduled times. The show is scheduled to start at 4:55. This has led to English media reports that Swift might take the stage earlier than she usually does, at 7:25.

That will also be true for the August 19 and 20 concerts, while the August 16 and 17 shows will start early entry to 3:45 and general admission to 4:15, with the show starting at 5:10. It was previously reported that the Wembley shows would have “additional private security specializing in counterterrorism,” but it’s unclear if these time changes are related to the heightened security; A Swift spokesperson had not returned Billboard‘s request for comment at press time.

Mayonnaise: I like it, you might like it, but no matter what, none of us feel nearly as strongly about it as Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis. In the past, Levis went viral for throwing the combination of oil, egg yolks, and some sort of acid into a cup of coffee, although he has made clear that this was a joke.

What isn’t a joke: Levis is teaming up with Hellmann’s to launch Will Levis No. 8, Parfum de Mayonnaise. It’s a fragrence that is built around his love of mayo — Uproxx got a bottle of it, and while I am not fragrence sommelier or anything like that, I can confirm that it smells good. The rollout includes one of those over the top fragence commercials that features Levis and really leans into the bit.

“With the launch of my signature scent, I’ve fulfilled a lifelong dream of partnering with Hellmann’s to craft a fragrance like no other, one truly embodying the distinct scent of greatness,” Levis said in a release. “Rich and creamy, Will Levis No. 8 is more than a mayonnaise-inspired fragrance. It’s transformative. I’ve eaten mayo, drank mayo, and now I can smell like mayo.”

Prior to the launch of the fragrence, Uproxx Sports caught up with Levis to discuss his partnership with Hellmann’s, his preparations for this upcoming NFL season in which the Titans will have a new head coach, and much more.

What do you got going on with Hellmann’s?

It’s a lot of fun. It’s a lot of fun, as it has been since the jump with these guys. But, since last year, we went and made some waves with our lifetime supply contract, and it was no hesitation in continuing the partnership and continuing to show my love and passion for mayonnaise. And they decided to bottle that up and throw it in a fragrance, and we did some really, really cool content that people are going to enjoy, I think.

But it’s something that I’m passionate about, as well, just fragrances and looking and feeling and smelling good. And for it to be tied into such an important part of my life and what’s going on with with Hellmann’s, it’s been a lot of fun, and for them to make the fragrance, fully make it available to the public, bring awareness to the brand and then, you know, me in our season, it’s really really cool. It’s a nice fragrance, too, it really encompasses greatness and has all the great things about mayonnaise, and I think people are really going to enjoy it. Just pumped about the whole thing.

So let’s be honest, I do really like mayo, but I think most people would be a little stunned by just how much you like it. Where does your love of mayonnaise come from?

It really just comes from a young age. Like, anytime I’d get a deli sandwich for lunch packed up on, you know, white bread, cut into triangles from my mom, there’s always a slab of mayo on it. Just something that went so well with with a food item, sandwiches, that I love so much. It was a constant on the rolls. So, it’s something that the brand itself that I recognized with me in my childhood — I remember opening the fridge and seeing it right there on the on the door and knowing exactly where it was at all times. A versatile and just very easily and well-used condiment that I think a lot of people don’t take enough time to to appreciate. So, every day, I thank my world for the mayonnaise that it has provided me.

Let’s talk a little bit of ball, just generally, how do you feel this offseason has gone?

It’s been great. It’s been a lot, training camp itself has been a grind, that’s what we’re in right now. And we can’t wait to go against a different defense. Our new staff has transformed our locker room and our culture in a great way, and the guys have really responded and leaned into what the coaches are trying to get out of us. Defensively they’re throwing us a lot of different looks that have made us an offense prepared for a lot of things that we’re gonna see throughout the season. But offseason itself, with my first offseason being the starting quarterback, I knew that the responsibilities that I had to undertake and just how much harder I had to work, and I think I’ve done a great job with it. Just got to keep working every day to earn the respect and keep growing as a leader, and I know that we’re going to be really good football team.

And you mentioned it, but I’m always interested in asking guys about their first full offseason in the NFL, because it’s your first one where you haven’t had to worry about class, you haven’t had to worry about transferring from one school to the next, haven’t had to worry about getting ready for the NFL Draft. Where were the main areas that you focused this offseason, whether that’s on the field or even if it was just taking some time away from it?

I think it was just getting healthy, was the biggest thing. I came out of last season with a lot of bumps and bruises, even some that came all the way from college that I didn’t feel 100 percent about. And finally, it’s like my body’s in a spot where I’m fully confident in my abilities when I go out there and step on that field, and I have everything in my arsenal that I’d like to have as a player. So, that’s a really good feeling. And then mentally, obviously with the new staff and the new offense, just dialing in on the offense, knowing kind of what we want our identity to be, or at least what we see our identity to potentially be, we’re not going to know until we get out there, 11-on-11, against a different team and we see what our strengths and weaknesses are. But just having that Rolodex of plays and understanding the different things that we’re trying to get out with the different parts of our playbook, and that helped me come to training camp ready to get rolling and be a light for the guys and show them the right direction.

So yeah, it’s been an awesome offseason, the first NFL offseason also is very fun because it’s our first time in our really playing career since high school where you have some extended time off, you’re able to do things and see people that you love and decompress, because when the season starts, there’s not a lot of that. And I definitely took the time that I needed to to get my body back, recuperate mentally and physically. But at the same time, keep my mind on the goals ahead.

You mentioned a new coaching staff coming in and a coach in coach Callahan. You talked about your identity as an offense — obviously, you won’t know until for sure until you get on the field and really start to get a sense of things. But, how would you define this identity that the Tennessee Titans are trying to put together?

We’re still trying to find it, but I was trying to more so point to the different faces that our offense has and and how we’re trying to affect teams differently, whether we’re trying to spread them horizontally, attack them vertically, what we’re trying to do in the run game, how our different run concepts are married with each other and how showing one thing could set up others, and that’s also married with our play action game. A lot of the concepts and stuff that I have ran in the past, but really more so diving into why we’re running them, what we’re trying to get out of them, and understanding, really more importantly, when we don’t get what we want out of it, what our answers are. And that’s going to make me the player that I want to get to, which is going to be just consistently making the right decision and not being bored making the right decision over and over again, even if it’s not the necessarily shot that we’re trying to hunt up. So yeah, I’m excited to show people where we got, we made a lot of really cool additions on both sides of the ball. We have a lot of playmakers that we’re going to have to share the ball with, and it’s going to be interesting to find out who’s best at what and how we’re gonna get everyone that touches that they deserve.

Coach Callahan, obviously he’s a quarterback guy — in the past, Matt Stafford, Joe Burrow, Derek Carr have put numbers up under him. Where has he had the biggest influence on you at this admittedly early point in your relationship together, and have you gotten a chance to dive into some of the things those other dudes did and get a sense of how he wants his quarterback to operate?

Yeah, mostly mechanically, I kind of handled everything with how I’m throwing the football on my own in the last few years, and kind of what I saw best and what I felt was most comfortable. And I actually took some advice from him with how I was moving and the base I was playing with that he saw, and just suggested to me that I went with and throughout OTAs played with, and had that time to just see if it was right for me, which I eventually did. And that was really cool to feel a head coach coming to me, as someone who’s seen a lot of guys throw the ball. I haven’t had a head coach, really, that understood the position in that way. And I was actually able to get into the physical machinations of what we’re doing. And for him to see that in me, suggest that switch, and for me to see results from it is really, really cool.

And then also just mentally, with reading defenses and trying to understand what our defense is doing, and how we can pinpoint the different ways that they’re trying to pressure us and what our answers are. [QB coach] Nick [Holz] is making sure that I’m ready when I get out there on Sunday to have that back pocket of certain things and answers that I have free will to initiate. And I’m working every day to continue to earn that confidence and to earn that respect for the head coach.

I want to look at your rookie year where you get inserted midway through, you had some super impressive moments, but as a rookie, you’re always going to have learning experiences. Where do you think the biggest way is that last year helped you become a starting NFL quarterback, whether that’s on or off the field?

I think I’ve got to point to our starter last year who started the season, Ryan Tannehill. He truly showed me what it was like to be a pro, and for those first few weeks where I wasn’t playing, I didn’t really know what I was doing, and if I was prepared enough, and I was really, every single time I had any questions as to how to handle myself, I always looked to him and understand what a professional quarterback looks like and how they prepare on a weekly basis. So, he helped me as much as anybody just by observing him, develop my routine and how I was able to prepare myself, because I kind of had that point, early in the season, where I didn’t feel like that. And then that second quarter of the season where I still wasn’t playing, ramping that side of things up and feeling more ready, even though I was third on the depth chart, was able to put me in a position to be ready when my name was called.

You went through something that a lot of young rookies go through where were fifth in the NFL in sack percentage. Obviously, a lot of stuff goes into that, but how does having the experience that you’ve gotten under your belt help you understand what to look for pre and post snap as you’re heading into your second year?

It only comes with reps, it really only does, that’s the only thing that’s gonna get you better at this position in this league. And I think that all the good plays and all the bad plays, even more so sometimes helped me and made me realize just what works in this league and what doesn’t. So, I think I’m gonna get more comfortable as I get more reps, training camp has been great for me, and I’m just looking forward to being a cleaner, more put together quarterback for my team this year.

We’re gonna move off the field for this one, I absolutely have to ask. There was that poker tournament you were in earlier this offseason where you just predicted the flop. What happened there, and how did you do that?

[laughs] I think I had, shoot, I want to I want to think it was like Ace-King versus King-Queen or something.

Yeah.

And I just wanted to win the hand, obviously, so I just tried to think of what an inconsequential flop would be for the hand, and I hadn’t done it all night. I think Bryce, who I was playing with, had spit it out a few times throughout the night just trying to predict it. And then on my first time predicting, I was like, 4-8-9, whatever, and that’s exactly what came down. I was like, “Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!” And I won the hand, which is all that matters. But just a crazy coincidental thing, and poker is a game that I love and that I played for a long time, and that we play on a weekly basis here with my teammates. Never been able to play in an environment like that, and to go down to the wire and make it to the final table, that’s pretty sweet.

Is that the go to on a long flight? Are you more like a video game guy? Are you watching a movie? Are you watching film? What’s Will Levis doing on on the flight from Seattle to Tennessee or something?

I did a London to Nashville flight earlier this year, earlier this summer, and I’m definitely a movie guy, I like movies. I watched Oppenheimer for the second time, so that was nice to dial back in and see the things that I didn’t understand necessarily the first time. But studying, a little bit of reading, but I always, 100 percent, will catch myself for at least 20-30 minutes on the game section of the little TV in front of me, playing blackjack against the computer or whatever. There’s not a shortage of fun options on most airlines.

I appreciate you taking the time, Will, best of luck with everything this season.

Yeah, everyone go grab their Will Levis No. 8 at willlevisnumber8.com, $8, starting August 13, feel and smell like greatness, it’s gonna be awesome. Can’t wait for y’all to check it out.

Post Malone is plenty famous. But he’s not Taylor Swift– or Beyoncé-level famous, and he’s just fine with that.

“I can’t even imagine being at their level — it must suck,” the “I Had Some Help” singer recently told the New York Times. Malone then described what it was like filming the “Fortnight” music video with Swift (he also collaborated with Beyoncé this year on “Levii’s Jeans”). She needed “an umbrella and drapes over the golf cart so drones and a helicopter couldn’t get footage,” he said, adding, “That’s so much pressure.”

Malone also discussed his upcoming country album F-1 Trillion, which includes duets with Tim McGraw, Dolly Parton, and Chris Stapleton. “Genres suck. It’s easier to catalog music that way,” he said. “But at a certain point — and the cool thing is that it’s moving towards this — why can’t you mix all this together and make something that’s truly unique to you?”

When he was a kid, Malone said he would “go upstairs on the computer and make a beat and then put my headphones in and try to learn a Metallica riff and then I’d get the acoustic guitar and learn to play ‘Tear In My Beer.’ I would write a Hank Williams or Johnny song, record that, sing over some 808s and record that song, and then I’d make an indie-rock song and record that, too.”

F-1 Trillion is out 8/16 via Republic. Find more information here.

Dr. Dre found himself making a surprise appearance during Snoop Dogg’s 2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony performance this past weekend. He and Snoop are a natural pair on stage, although how they operate in that environment flips when they enter the studio.

Dre told ET:

“It’s magical. I don’t even feel comfortable performing without Snoop. Something about the synergy that me and Snoop have is really interesting. […] Really, Snoop, he’s the superstar. I’m the co-star when we get on stage. It’s different when we’re in the studio, you know? I’m the captain when we’re in the studio, but when we go outside, Snoop is the guy.”

He also spoke about how the performance was kept secret, saying, “The Olympic Committee, they handled that. I was wondering how they were gonna do that and nobody had cell phones or anything like that. It was filmed the day before it aired. So trying to keep that a secret for that amount of time seems like it would’ve been impossible, but they made it happen!”

Elsewhere, he talked about the album he and Snoop are making together (which Snoop teased earlier this year). Dre said, “Me and Snoop working together again, and it’s been 30 years, believe it or not. I’ve only produced one album with Snoop, which was Doggy Style, and that was 30 years ago. We’ve done a lot of things in between and songs and performances and films and things of that nature, but this is my first time actually producing an entire album with him.”

Sometimes the best new R&B can be hard to find, but there are plenty of great rhythm-and-blues tunes to get into if you have the time to sift through the hundreds of newly released songs every week. So that R&B heads can focus on listening to what they love in its true form, we’ll be offering a digest of the best new R&B songs that fans of the genre should hear every Friday.

Since the last update of this weekly R&B column, we’ve received plenty of music and news from the genre’s artists.

Chlöe and her sister Halle reunited on “Want Me” from the latter’s new album Trouble In Paradise and Tinashe announced her Match My Freak World Tour with Raveena. Janet Jackson is reportedly finalizing a Las Vegas Residency deal while The Weeknd, who continues to tease new music, will bring a new “nightmare” to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood. Elsewhere, Lauryn Hill canceled her upcoming North American tour and explained the “difficult” decision, SZA said her recent performance will be her last “for a while” as she is “finally about to get my life together,” and Kehlani, along with her ex Javaughn Young-White, went after the media of the latter’s alleged “sex cult” claims.

Here are the new releases you need to have your eye on this week:

Chlöe — Trouble In Paradise

“Songs from my diary, inspired by my favorite island.” Chlöe’s sophomore album Troubled In Paradise is a step up from her 2023 debut In Pieces. The fairly quick turnaround between albums — 17 months in total — proved to be a great move from Chlöe as her new project and its 16 songs with features from Anderson .Paak, YG Marley, Halle Bailey, Jeremih, and Ty Dolla Sign showcase the improvement and successful execution we hope to see from young artists.

Ciara — “Run It Up” Feat. Bossman Dlow

Ciara is always happy to rep the South and she does just that on her new single “Run It Up.” With Bossman Dlow by her side, the two drop a bass-thumping banger that champions hustlers like Ciara and Bossman themselves.

Coco Jones — “Almost There”

Coco Jones’ dream of being Princess Tiana seem like they’re close to coming true as she teamed up with Disney for a new rendition of Princess Tiana’s “Almost There.” It’s the perfect collaboration as Jones’ incredible vocals soar throughout the track, making for a truly beautiful reimagined version.

Leon Thomas — “Mutt”

Leon Thomas is back with new music and we couldn’t be happier about it. “Mutt” arrives as the first single from Thomas’ upcoming album and it’s a gritty and laid-back number that paints Thomas as a lover who deeply graves an intimate interaction after going so long without one.

Ambré — I Do This Sh*t In My Sleep

For her first project since last year’s Who’s Loving You, New Orleans singer Ambré dove into the vault to share some unreleased demos and rough tracks. I Do This Sh*t In My Sleep carries five songs that didn’t land on a project of her own or someone else’s, but were still good enough to show that she indeed does this sh*t in her sleep.

Kenyon Dixon — The R&B You Love: For The ’99 And The 2000s

After beginning the year with The R&B You Love: Soul Of The ’70s, Kenyon Dixon keeps supplying the lovely R&B with his new EP The R&B You Love: For The ’99 And The 2000s. The project arrives with seven songs — six new records and “2000s R&B” which he released last year. The R&B You Love: For The ’99 And The 2000s certainly sounds like the R&B made at the top of the century, making it a perfect listen for fans of that era.

Felix Ames — “I’ve Seen Heaven”

Milwaukee singer Felix Ames ended 2023 with the deluxe reissue of his Jena project, and now he’s back to kick off the next era of his career. Ames returns with “I’ve Seen Heaven,” a silky smooth and sultry record that serves as the lead single for his upcoming EP, Feel The Past, See The Future. “This project explores the repetitive nature of life and the cycles that occur over generations,” he said in an Instagram post about the EP. “Every day I choose to be here and live out this life that’s been given to my sim, I’m trying my best and I’m realizing that’s really all we can ask of ourselves.”

Dee Gatti — “Cards On The Table”

It’s always a good day when Fort Worth singer Dee Gatti drops new music. Her latest offering is “Cards On The Table,” a passionate plea to a new lover for she and Gatti to get whatever is needed off their chests in order to have a truly successful relationship.

Rae Khalil — CRYBABY

Grammy Award-winning singer Rae Khalil arrives with her major-label debut project CRYBABY. The 13-track effort carries features from AA Rashid, Anderson .Paak, Freddie Gibbs, Benny Sings, TianaMajor9, Khalil, and Zacari. The song’s title track mirrors the overall focus of the project, which Khalil revealed in a press release. “I’m just playing with anything that makes me really emotional, whether it’s my relationships, my job, my personal journey.”

Rasandra — “Dope D*ck”

For her latest drop this year, singer Rasanadra is marking her territory and making it clear that she will fight over what she believes is hers. “Dope D*ck” is a feisty declaration from Rasandra rooted in the love she has for her partner’s bedroom talents, an experience she isn’t ready to give up anytime soon.

Gemaine — “Petty” Feat. MadeinTYO

Compton singer Gemaine is back in action with his new single “Petty” alongside rapper MadeinTYO. Together, the two artists make it clear that they “have time today” to be petty if the moment and situation calls for it. Gemaine and MadeinTYO prefer to stay out of drama, but if their hand is forced, they’ll jump in with no issue.

While lots of stars are inspired by their predecessors, Chappell Roan said she wants to be like her hero Miley Cyrus‘ Disney Channel alter ego, Hannah Montana. As she introduced Cyrus for her Disney Legend induction at this year’s D23 convention, Roan gushed about how the identity-switching TV character influences her music to this day — over a decade after she attended Miley’s Hannah Montana concert as her first ever.

“[Miley’s Best Of Both Worlds Tour] was my first concert ever,” Roan recalled. “She came down in a box from the ceiling. I was like, ‘How do I do that one day?’ I still think about it. I still think about the show. I want to be like Hannah Montana.”

Cyrus’ appeal seems for Roan seems evident in the younger star’s striking visual presentation, and in the way Roan uses her pop star character to give herself some distance from the demands of stardom. “The thing that I admire about Miley Cyrus is that she constantly reinvents herself and always works,” she explained. “For a lot of artists, it can seem inauthentic or out of the blue, but she’s very open about her transformations artistically and personally. She puts out music that is so authentic.”

You can watch Chappell Roan praise Miley Cyrus (and Hannah Montana) below.

Two of the biggest stars of the 2024 Olympics were not athletes, but hip-hop legends. Snoop Dogg was everywhere in Paris, carrying the torch, watching dressage with Martha Stewart, cheering on Noah Lyles with his mom, touring the Louvre, doing dozens of appearances on NBC, and popping up at seemingly every event.

While Snoop’s presence came as little surprise given his work with NBC during the Tokyo Olympics, doing a highlights show with Kevin Hart, and his upcoming stint as a judge on The Voice, the other hip-hop legend that took over the games was far more surprising. Flavor Flav was also a constant presence at the Olympics, but he was there primarily to support the USA women’s water polo team, who he has helped sponsor to fund the players and keep them from having to work multiple jobs while also playing for the national team. That story became a viral sensation, and Flav didn’t stop there. He helped pay a track and field athlete’s rent after she tweeted about struggling with her bills while competing in Paris, and was a fixture at Team USA events throughout the Olympics.

His latest venture to help out a USA Olympian is to provide some consolation for gymnast Jordan Chiles, after she got told to return her bronze medal from the individual floor exercise event. The gymnastics governing body decided the protest filed by her coach that upped her score and pushed her into third place came too late, and instead the bronze should go to Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu. That caused considerable uproar stateside, and despite an appeal by USA Gymnastics, the ruling was upheld.

That is where Flavor Flav stepped in and offered on Twitter to make Chiles a custom bronze clock necklace to replace her gold medal, giving her something truly one-of-a-kind.

It has been cool seeing Flav become the patron saint of Team USA, providing help supporting the athletes however possible and in the most Flavor Flav way possible, from paying their rent to sending them a bronze clock.

Barack Obama is listening to everything from Charli XCX to Shaboozey, but apparently wasn’t feeling Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” leading to fans wondering whether the former President is on Team Drake. While “Not Like Us” has turned out to be one of the biggest songs of the summer so far, climbing to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 multiple times, it doesn’t appear on Obama’s recently shared summer 2023 playlist — even though the playlist includes entries from hip-hop faves like GloRilla, Megan Thee Stallion, and Saweetie.

The song spawned a browser game, inspired part of Serena Williams’ ESPY Awards monologue, and finally connected Kendrick Lamar to Gen Z and Gen Alpha fans. The song was even a big hit during the Olympics, with Team USA basketball stars Steph Curry and LeBron James debating its merits during shootaround.

It isn’t like Obama dislikes the Compton rapper’s music; he’s hung out with the rapper on several occasions, and even admitted to having him on a much more private playlist. He even predicted that Kendrick would topple Drake in a theoretical rap battle, eight years before the two actually came to lyrical blows. Maybe his excluding “Not Like Us” was an oversight, or perhaps he simply wanted to keep things kosher for the playlist, which still feels like it has some obligation to be at least a little wholesome and less haterific.

(Emily In Paris spoilers will obviously be found in this post.)

Netflix released the third season of Emily In Paris in December 2022, and since you have likely watched a zillion other series (or at least 30) since that time, a little refresher cannot hurt before the fourth season arrives. This show isn’t complicated, of course, so a brief rendition of the season finale events will do.

Emily and Gabriel will never be able to stop mooning over each other, even though Gabriel also cannot seem to give up Camille. In the third season finale, he and Camille did end up at the altar, but when that happened, the French doormat of the series aired her true thoughts rather than saying, “I do.” She accused Gabriel and Emily of still being in love with each other, and of course, that was a gut punch to Alfie, who had attended the ceremony with Emily, who was supposedly his girlfriend at the time.

Then Alfie and Camille both fled, presumably in separate directions, while Emily and Gabriel regrouped in private. It was at that moment that Gabriel admitted that he had gotten Camille pregnant, and the season ended.

From there, Darren Star followed up on the season by telling Deadline that these “star-crossed lovers” are “very much tied together. But I just think there were some big unforeseen complications here, especially for Emily. And perhaps Emily-Gabriel is not meant to be, at least in the immediate future.”

Yet as the below fourth season trailer recently revealed, Emily begins the upcoming season as a single lady, and although Alfie asks her for some space, Gabriel is hiding in her shower. Hmm.

Emily In Paris returns for Season 4 on August 15.
