Year: 2024

At long last, Ariana Grande has announced her seventh album. Marking her first album in almost four years, Eternal Sunshine will arrive later this year.

Ahead of the album, Grande shared her groovy new single “Yes, And?,” on which she seemingly addresses the sensationalized headlines about her life, which she has been dealing with over the past few months. The song, produced by Ariana Grande, Max Martin, and Ilya Salmanzadeh, signals a new era for Grande, as she steps back into her pop bag.

Following Grande’s official announcement, the Arianators are excited to get their hands on the album.

When does Ariana Grande’s new album Eternal Sunshine come out?

Eternal Sunshine arrives March 8, via Republic Records. Grande revealed the news via Instagram, where she shared a carousel of new images. The images correspond to the different cover arts Grande has shared on her official website.

Three additional covers have been revealed on Grande’s website, including one featuring Grande covering her eyes, one with her hands over her head, and another with a 4×4 grid of images of her. Apparently, three more covers are to be revealed, as evidenced by placeholder images on her website.

Ariana Grande’s big return to music has had her fans filled with excitement. Just days after dropping her hit single “Yes, And?,” the pop star confirmed the theories that her new album would be pulling inspiration from the 2004 film, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind.

Will Ariana Grande Go On Tour For Her New Album?

It is unclear if she will be touring for the album. She has no current shows announced.

Netflix has released the first trailer for The Vince Staples Show, depicting a day in the life of the Long Beach rapper. Scenes from the show that it previews include a chase through the Del Amo Swap Meet, a greedy uncle asking for money at a picnic, and a confrontation with a water park mascot. Oh, and Vince gets recognized during a Dead Presidents-inspired bank robbery. The man lives a fascinating life.

The Vince Staples Show, which is billed for release on February 15, continues the series of slice-of-life vignettes from the original YouTube episodes, which find the “Magic” rapper caught up in all sorts of misadventures in and around his hometown. In the original episodes, a trip to the barbershop turns into a gang fight, while Vince seeks refuge and wisdom from his hero Ray J as his angry girlfriend seeks a confrontation.

The show initially debuted in 2019, and in 2022, Netflix announced its partnership with Staples to bring the show to the service. The delay might have been troublesome for some fans, but it did give Staples a chance to raise his public profile and hone his already quite sharp comedy chops. Since then, he’s released a pair of albums that hewed more closely to convention and put him on the Billboard charts, and appeared in a guest role on the Emmy-winning Abbott Elementary, making him more of a household name.

The Vince Staples Show will stream on Netflix on 2/15.

Ariana Grande launched her big musical comeback last week with “Yes, And?,” her first single of 2024. There’s also been some speculation about her upcoming album, but now there are at least a couple things we know for sure: Today (January 17), Grande announced that her new album is called Eternal Sunshine (as was rumored) and it’s coming out on March 8.

She previously shared the album cover art (find that below), but on her online store, there are alternate covers as well, with one viewable now and three others set to be revealed at a later date.

Beyond that, that’s about all we officially know about the album. No tracklist has been revealed yet, so it remains to be seen how many tracks the album has, how long it’ll be, who (if anybody) is featured on it, and things like that. We do know that Grande wrote and produced “Yes, And?” with Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh, so it’s possible they’re involved with other songs on the album as well. Grande has also yet to announce any upcoming tour dates, so it’s not clear when/if she will hit the road in support of the project.

Near the end of 2023, Grande looked back on the year, which she called “one of the most transformative, most challenging, and yet happiest and most special years” of her life so far. She also generated excitement by noting, “i cannot wait for next year.”

Emily In Paris remains ridiculous popular despite itself. Season 4 is in the works, and who knows if the title character will ever have to grapple with the real-life viral bed bug scourge that’s been in the news (probably not? it sure would be funny, though). For now, however, Lily Collins has dusted off Emily Cooper to make her contribution to NBC Sports’ upcoming coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Yes, this goes as disastrously as you can imagine.

Emily is tasked with designing a uniform for U.S. sprinter Noah Lyles, and what she envisions does apparently help the U.S. seize gold, but surely, what transpires will result in disqualification. That haute couture cape would literally knock out the competition, so perhaps Emily is thinking about the wrong sport, but hey, nothing about Emily In Paris makes sense either, so this commercial at least stays consistent to the Netflix show’s fluffy vibe.

Is that Champere Champagne that she’s spewing across a boardroom? Fingers crossed.

Naturally, this is also a missed opportunity to bring in Lucas Bravo for a hot Chef Gabriel cameo, too. And why not add Bruno Gouery in for a little Evil Gays reference from The White Lotus? If Netflix is in with NBC for this promo, then HBO could join the party, too. Also, Jason Sudeikis’ Ted Lasso character went from being an NBC Olympic commentator to starring in his own Apple TV+ show, so toss him in the mix as well. Party time.

Emily In Paris Season 4 doesn’t have a release date yet, but it’s coming.

The line-up for Baja Beach Fest 2024 hasn’t been revealed yet, but last year’s headliners included Don Omar, Ozuna, Feid, Wisin.Y Yandel, Tego Calderon, and Nicky Jam. Arcangel, Becky G, Young Miko, El Alfa, were also on the lineup, as well as Tainy and Sky Rompiendo. A press release promises that this year’s festival will be “a worthy follow-up to the 2023 edition.”

As past lineups have proven exciting, fans are anxious to get their hands on tickets.

Thanks to a staggering amount of Emmy wins for Succession and The White Lotus, HBO was riding high coming off the awards ceremony. To tout the network’s success, longtime HBO executive Casey Bloys sat down for an interview on the state of its programming.

However, it wasn’t entirely all cheery topics. Bloys was asked about the recent cancelation of the Max series Our Flag Means Death, which was a huge bummer to fans of the pirate show. Bloys addressed why Our Flag had to walk the plank and whether Season 3 might be able to set sail elsewhere.

Via The Hollywood Reporter:

Off topic here, but Our Flag Means Death was recently canceled after two seasons. A petition to revive the show that has more than 50,000 signatures and the fan campaign has raised north of $20,000 to buy ads to save the show. Why was it canceled and what would it take to bring it back?

Nobody likes to cancel a show. But the fact of the matter is the numbers weren’t there for a renewal. But I will say, whenever we cancel a show, if a creator can set it up elsewhere, we support them. That is an option for Our Flag; it didn’t make sense for us but it might be for someone else. We let the producers know if they can find a home, we’ll be supportive of that.

It looks the chance for a Season 3 didn’t sink to the bottom of Davy Jones’ locker, and OK, that’s enough pirate puns. We’ll be good now. Promise.

Our Flag Means Death Seasons 1 and 2 are available for streaming on Max.

Ted Cruz has been emasculated by Donald Trump yet again.

On Tuesday, the Texas senator officially endorsed Trump for president. “I am proud to endorse Donald Trump for President of the United States. I look forward to supporting him enthusiastically,” he told host Sean Hannity on Fox News. “[Iowa] was a dominating victory for Donald Trump. I’ve got to say, there’s no place like the Iowa caucuses. I know it intimately. The men and women of Iowa, they take their responsibility incredibly seriously. They scrutinize the candidates.” Cruz won the Iowa caucus over Trump in 2016, which is the last time he didn’t take an L to the big man.

Trump takes a sick (and — the worst person, great point, etc. — very funny) pride in belittling Cruz as much as possible. He’s called Ted “worse than Hillary [Clinton]” and the “single biggest liar,” insulted his wife Heidi, and accused his father of helping with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Cruz, in turn, said Trump is a “a sniveling coward” and “a pathological liar,” and that he’s “not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father.”

But that was then — now that Trump thinks Cruz “shouldn’t even exist,” the Cancun-cavorting senator is willing to bend the knee.

Let’s see how that’s going over!

Sofía Vergara took the role of playing drug lord Griselda Blanco seriously. But not I’m-going-to-do-cocaine-for-real seriously.

During Tuesday’s episode of The Tonight Show, the actress discussed starring in Griselda, a Netflix limited series about the woman affectionally known as the Cocaine Godmother. “The character is insane,” she said. “It was a woman that was raising four kids while she was becoming, you know, a monster.”

Vergara also discussed working with director Andrés Baiz. “He was my anchor during the filming because I had never done anything except Gloria Pritchett,” the four-time Emmy nominee said, referring to her character from Modern Family. “I didn’t know anything. He taught me how to smoke. He taught me how to do cocaine. He taught me a lot.” Fallon cut in, “Alright alright hold on hold on” (it can be annoying when he interrupts his guests, but this time was valid).

Vergara continued, “It was amazing because I was 51 years old and I didn’t even know how to, you know, how to light a cigarette. I’ve never done cocaine. So it’s like, it was amazing. It was like, a great experience.”

She caught herself before anyone got the wrong idea about her method acting:
