Year: 2024

With nine well-received albums under her belt, critical acclaim to spare, and fresh off a stint of headlining Coachella, Lana Del Rey is a star. Now she’s gearing up to perform like one, too: Today (May 6), she announced her first-ever US stadium concert, taking place at Boston’s Fenway Park for one night only, on June 20.

The general on-sale for tickets starts May 10 at 10 a.m. local time via Live Nation. There’s also an artist pre-sale that starts May 8 at 10 a.m.

In recent years, Fenway Park, the iconic home of the Boston Red Sox, has seen concert performances from artists like Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, Paul McCartney, Jonas Brothers, Morgan Wallen, Zac Brown Band, Dead & Company, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and plenty more.

Del Rey’s new tour manager has more time to prepare for this show than they did for Coachella: Last month, Del Rey called out her now-former tour manager, writing on social media, “[Thank you to] Emily for stepping up as tour manager when Pete quit for no reason after 15 years because he was butt hurt that I got 10 comped bikes for free from Wally and randomly decided he was more of a stage designer than a tour manager… Never got a phone call probably never will. Still grateful for the 15 years though. No worries – 37 days was more than enough time to put together an entire headlining set all by ourselves. Not stressful at all. Way to go Emily you f*cking killed it with grace.”

Dust the Cheetos off your finest tuxedo t-shirt: the Met Gala is tonight.

Zendaya, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth are among the co-chairs of the 2024 Met Gala, which takes place at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in [extremely Matt Berry voice] New York City. This year’s theme is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” while the dress code is “The Garden of Time,” which sounds like the title of a fantasy novel for teens.

When does the fun start? The Met Gala red carpet coverage will begin on Monday, May 6, at 6:00 pm EST / 3:00 pm PST on Vogue’s website. You can also watch the arrivals on the “Live from E!: 2024 Met Gala” broadcast, which airs on E! from 6 p.m. EST / 3 p.m. PST to 9:30 p.m. EST / 6:30 p.m. PST.

Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of the newly-unionized Vogue, apologized for the confusing theme of this year’s Met Gala. “This exhibition broke my cardinal rule,” she said in an interview with TODAY on Monday. “When we came up with the title ‘Sleeping Beauties,’ it’s wonderful and poetic and romantic, but actually, it could be many, many things.” She added, “I fear that we’ve unleashed a lot of confusion out there, and for which I deeply apologize.”

Whatever Zendaya wears, that’s the correct theme.

Now that Gunna’s Bittersweet Tour is officially underway, fans have a better idea of what to expect from the veteran rapper’s setlist and available tour merch.

We’ve been seeing a lot of Camila Cabello lately as the singer has geared up for a new era, led by the single “I Luv It.” Now, she’s officially in album mode.

Today (May 6), Cabello revealed that her upcoming album, which will be her fourth, is called C, XOXO, and that it’s set for release on June 28. She also shared the cover art, a close-up portrait of a blue-tongued Cabello giving a blue lollipop a big lick as she looks down the barrel of the camera.

In a recent interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Cabello called the project her “live my questions album” and explained, “It’s really sitting in the discomfort of things and realizing there’s not gonna be a neat, in-a-box answer. I feel strong in these ways, weak in these ways, and there’s no real clear answer here. But the album process has been such a journey. It started out with me having that intention of going back to how it started for me, which was just sitting with myself and really getting back to that first passion of songwriting. Nerding out over references and artists and poetry — whatever — and really tapping into that.”

C, XOXO is out 6/28 via Geffen/Interscope. Find more information here.

One of the highlights of Dua Lipa‘s SNL hosting debut was “The Anomalous Man.”

In the sketch, the “Houdini” singer plays a theatergoer in 1890s London who demands to meet the writer of the play, The Anomalous Man. She’s warned to not be shocked by the playwright’s appearance, as “it will destroy him.” But where most see a monster looking at Peter, played by Sarah Sherman in makeup seemingly done by the legend Rick Baker, Dua Lipa’s character sees a wonderful man — even with his hoof hands and third eyeball in his back.

They quickly fall in love until Peter gets caught two-timing Dua Lipa using a second phone to text other women. One message to “Whitney Hinge” reads, “She’s asleep. Wash that ass and get to the Holiday Inn. I’m tryna show you what this snout do.” Thank god we never learn what that snout do, but we do know who the thirst trap photos in the sketch belong to.

“Dear @DUALIPA – I’m sorry we had to meet this way but trust that I’d way rather send my thirst traps to you than that terrible Anomalous Man,” actress Whitney Moore wrote on X. “He’s not even a good writer, he just has rich parents! (thank you @mikediva for allowing me to show my ass on national tv!).” This, as far as I can tell, is the first time someone from cult classic Birdemic: Shock and Terror has appeared on SNL. That’s history right there.

You can watch “The Anomalous Man” above. You should also check out Moore’s short film, “Palm Swings.”

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a pair of trunks and some snazzy boots! The first image of David Corenswet as Superman was revealed this week, and now the DC movie is finally taking shape after a rough year for the studio.

Superman:Legacy began production last month and is aiming for a Summer 2025 release. After a long and painful casting process, Corenswet will take the screen as Superman alongside Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Nathan Fillion and Skyler Gisondo.

James Gunn posted the first look of the superhero on Threds, which prompted people to critique Superman’s threads. He also confirmed that the photo was taken “in-camera” to anyone who was claiming it was AI-generated.

You might be thinking, “isn’t a superhero suit more about comfort and agility than style?” and you’d be right if this was real life, but it’s a movie, which means that Superman’s suit is more important than the plot itself. And fans were not happy.

The suit design takes a few different elements from various Superman suits over the years, most notably Superman 52, but with some trunks. Not everyone was happy about the debut:

While the disappointment was prominent, some brave souls were excited! About the trunks, too!

On a related note, why is he taking his sweet time putting on his little boots when there is a catastrophic event behind him??

Superman: Legacy hits theaters July 11th 2025.

Snoop Dogg’s impact on football is rapidly becoming undeniable. In addition to his musical contributions to the sport, like his and Chris Stapleton’s 2023 Monday Night Football theme song and his performance alongside Dr. Dre at the 2022 Super Bowl, Snoop’s efforts in youth football in his hometown, Long Beach (as immortalized in his Amazon Prime comedy film, The Underdoggs), have sent a number of players from the ‘hood to the pros. This December, he’ll make college football history with the first-ever Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl Presented By Gin & Juice By Dre And Snoop.

The Arizona Bowl, established in 2015 and featuring teams from the Mountain West and Mid-American Conferences, will become the first NCAA bowl game to be presented by an alcoholic beverage company. As the Doggfather points out in his press statement for the partnership, The Snoop Youth Football League has become a launching pad for college football, so the connection makes more sense than it may appear on the surface. “I’ve sent many players through my SYFL to colleges (and the NFL) so it’s only fitting that I bring the ‘juice’ back to college football,” Snoop said. “Dr. Dre and I are excited to bring our brand to the next level with this partnership, and we’re going to make the Arizona Bowl into a game day experience like never before.”

The Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl Presented By Gin & Juice By Dre And Snoop will air on December 28, 2024, at 2:30pm MST.

Baby Reindeer creator and star Richard Gadd has already moved on to working on his next project. Gadd has also asked people to stop speculating about the identities of Martha and Darrien (the characters who abused his alter-ego, Donny, in different ways), although those urgings have fallen on deaf ears. Part of that continuation involves the real-life Martha coming forward to threaten legal action, and as for the chatter about who the Darrien character (who groomed and raped Donny) might be, Gadd has also written: “People I love, have worked with, and admire (including Sean Foley) are unfairly getting caught up in speculation.”

Sean Foley also thusly responded to the false accusations and associated threats lodged directed towards him: “Police have been informed and are investigating all defamatory abusive and threatening posts against me.” Deadline now details word from English author Richard Osman, who broached the subject on The Rest Is Entertainment podcast. According to Osman, many “people in the industry” know the identity of the real-life Darrien after (allegedly) hearing details from Gadd himself:

“There’s a very, very serious thing that happens with a male comedy producer and Richard Gadd, who, as you say, did the show in Edinburgh and has been very open to people in the industry about who that person was, so people in the industry know who that person was. Now it comes out now and a completely different person is identified, someone who has produced Richard Gadd before, but is definitively not the person in any way … And it is not him, definitely not because people in the industry know who it is. And it’s definitely not him.”

Gadd hasn’t spoken further on the subject, although he previously stressed that he had changed details while writing Darrien and Martha, so that they could not be connected to real-life people.

Baby Reindeer is streaming in full on Netflix.

Every week, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated May 11, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. Taylor Swift — “Down Bad”

Last week, Taylor Swift had the top 14 songs on the Hot 100. She’s cooled off a bit this week, with only three songs in the top 10, including “Down Bad.”

9. Taylor Swift — “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart”

“I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” is one of the other two to survive in the region from Week 1 to 2. It’s the album’s second-most streamed song on Spotify so far with over 117 million plays.

8. Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick Lamar — “Like That”

Kendrick Lamar has released what feels like a thousand Drake diss tracks since “Like That,” but this one is still going strong in the top 10 this week. This is one of many songs returning to the top 10 this week following Swift’s dominant frame.

7. Hozier — “Too Sweet”

“Too Sweet” is officially the biggest song of Hozier’s career, as it topped the Hot 100 for a week in April. It’s no longer at No. 1 but it’s sticking around at No. 7 this week.

6. Teddy Swims — “Lose Control”

Swims hasn’t lost control has his breakout hit, a former No. 1, remains near the top of the Hot 100 chart.

5. Benson Boone — “Beautiful Things”

Boone’s “Beautiful Things” was the biggest non-Swift song on last week’s Hot 100, a status it didn’t manage to maintain this week thanks to some milestone achievements from other artists.

4. Sabrina Carpenter — “Espresso”

It’s starting to feel like the summer of Sabrina. After Carpenter’s “Espresso” became her first top-10 Hot 100 hit in April, it’s now her first top-5 song with its No. 4 placement this week. Between Swift and Carpenter, songs from performers on The Eras Tour make up four of the top 10 songs.

3. Shaboozey — “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”

Shaboozey has been blowing up since landing an appearance on Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter album. His own “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has become a hit in its own right and is now his first top-10 song on the Hot 100.

2. Tommy Richman — “Million Dollar Baby”

As for Richman, this is his first Hot 100 hit period, and it debuted all the way up at No. 2. This is the highest debut for a song with no prior Hot 100 experience since Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North Of Richmond” opened at No. 1 last summer.

1. Taylor Swift — “Fortnight” Feat. Post Malone

Despite all the impressive newcomers, it’s a pair of familiar faces occupying the top spot this week. Swift and Malone’s The Tortured Poets Department single debuted at No. 1 last week, and now it has held onto its place for a second frame.
