Today (January 5), Bad Bunny’s sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, hit streaming platforms. But before you dive into the 17-track body of work, just know some of the lyrics may be lost in translation—even if you are a Spanish speaker.
During an interview with The New York Times, Bad Bunny issued the forewarning. As the “Una Velita” musician discussed the heavy political messaging throughout on Debí Tirar Más Fotos which is likely to be misunderstood by non-Puerto Ricans, and he doesn’t care to clarify anything.
“There are a lot of political lines that you can’t tell are political,” he said. “The song ‘Bokete’ — it’s a song about a love story but the whole analogy of boquete is — in Puerto Rico there are a lot of holes in the street. It’s not a song about potholes, but… There are a lot of things like that.”
When asked about the confusion his lyrics may cause due to Puerto Rico’s unique dialect of Spanish, Bad Bunny acknowledged the interpretive difficulty. “People miss a lot,” he said. “Actually, there are even a lot of Latinos who speak Spanish who are missing a lot because I’m singing in Puerto Rican slang. After ‘Un Verano Sin Ti,’ it was the biggest spot of my career and I came with this totally different album — “Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana” — with a lot of bars and Puerto Rican analogies, and I’m 100 percent sure that people missed the best parts of that album. Definitely.”
But Bad Bunny laughed it off, singing: “I doooooon’ttttt caaaaaaaare.”

The New England Patriots were always expected to be near the bottom of the AFC standings this season, but the 2024 campaign was apparently worse than those at the top of the Patriots organization expected. The Patriots promoted Jerod Mayo to head coach to take over for Bill Belichick (who they pushed out after it seemed he’d lost a step in the modern NFL), but Mayo’s tough love approach didn’t seem to go over especially well with the locker room and there were rumblings coming into Week 18 that Mayo could be out after just one year as head coach.
What made the timing of those rumors fascinating was the Patriots held the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft coming into their game against the Bills, who were locked into the 2-seed in the AFC and were going to be playing reserves. Organizationally speaking, losing that game was in the team’s best interest, but Mayo certainly didn’t have much incentive to drop the game if he was potentially out of a job either way. Naturally, the Patriots beat the Bills 23-17 to drop to the No. 4 pick in the Draft, as Joe Milton quarterbacked most of the game to get New England a win, and less than an hour after the game Mayo was fired, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
We will undoubtedly get a full post-mortem on the Mayo era sooner than later from Patriots insiders, as there was clearly a disconnect within the organization from top to bottom. Mayo is certainly not without blame, but one does wonder if, given how poorly things seemed to be between Belichick and the organization at the end of his tenure, the successor hand-picked by Belichick was ever going to get much of a fair shake from the Pats — or what this year would’ve needed to look like for Mayo to make it to Year 2.
The expected frontrunner for the job is Mike Vrabel, as the former Patriots star linebacker was fired after a strong tenure as the Titans head coach last year and spent the 2024 season as a consultant with the Browns. He figures to get back into the mix for a head coaching job this year, and the Patriots would be a natural fit. The Patriots also could try to bring in either of the Lions coordinators, as Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn are both presumed to be head coaches somewhere next season.
Today (January 5), Joe Alwyn expressed his wish for the world to let go off the couple’s six year relationship because he certainly has. During an interview with The Guardian, Alwyn indirectly said he wants folks to move on. “That’s something for other people to do,” he said. “We’re talking about something that’s a while ago now in my life. So that’s for other people. That’s what I feel.”
Alwyn followed that up with crediting others in his life for helping him ignore the outside “noise” following their split. “I have tried just to focus on controlling what I can control,” he said. “And, right from the beginning, tried to focus on the things that are meaningful for me: friends, family, work, of course. So noise outside of that, I think I’ve done what lots of people who find themselves in the public eye do, which is just try and ignore it. If you don’t, and if you let all of that other stuff in, and if it starts to affect you and your behavior, you’re living from the outside in. And then you’re pretty f*cked.”
For now, the growing Oscars buzz surrounding The Brutalist has Joe Alwyn’s full attention.
The 2025 award season is well underway. For multi-hyphenate Selena Gomez that means chatting about her latest onscreen appearances. Sadly for fans that means putting any music plans on the back burner. Yesterday (January 4), comment the “Love On” singer made at the Palm Springs International Film Festival 2025 has supporters certain that her hiatus is indefinite.
While speaking Variety‘s Marc Malkin during the outlet’s 10 Directors To Watch & Creative Impact Awards (viewable here), Gomez subtly shut down questions about hitting the 2025 Oscars stage. When asked if she would be opened to performing songs from Emilia Pérez alongside her co-star Zoe Saldaña, Gomez expressed apprehension.
“I hope that all goes on Zoe [Saldaña],” she said. “I have not performed…”
Malkin interjected to close the question off, saying: “[Zoe] said, she wants both of you there doing a big homage to Mexico with both [Emilia Pérez] songs. Will you do it?”
“I don’t know if I could,” she said. “I’m not as…I’m not there. It’s just different.”
Fans of Gomez were taken aback by the response stating that he could be an invaluable promotional tool for the film. “You can feel her hesitation—definitely a lot of pressure involved in those performances,” wrote on user on X (formerly Twitter).
“She was literally telling us that she wanted to go on tour again [at this point] she’s over with music and stages,” chimed another.
“Someone plz go to force her to perform it that’s the only way to make this masterpiece go viral,” penned another.
The 2025 Oscars nominations are mere weeks away with performance announcements even further away. Many are holding out hope Selena Gomez changes her mind should the film earn any nominations.
Former Quality Control signee Gloss Up’s supposed professional grievances has supposedly turned personal. According to a viral video circulating online (viewable here), the “Check” rapper’s issues with her ex-management team escalated into a full-on physical altercation. Now, the alleged victim is speaking out.
Yesterday (January 4), during an Instagram live stream (viewable here) Tatiyana Blood confirmed that she was assaulted by her former client Gloss Up (real name Jerrica Russell) as users online speculated.
Blood claims that on January 1, she was attacked by Gloss Up outside of Dreamz Restaurant and Lounge in Duluth, Georgia. “Out of nowhere I get hit from behind,” she said. “I didn’t see it coming or nothing… Yes, I have injuries. Yes, my nose was swollen. Yes, my knees were scrapped. Yes, my hip was bruised.”
She went on to express concerns for her safety moving forward, saying: “I feel intimated by going out and not knowing if somebody is watching me or stalking me.”
Later in the broadcast, Blood claimed Gloss Up attempted to file a restraining order against without proper cause. Blood also confirmed rumors that she filed battery charges on Gloss Up for the alleged assault.
Gloss Up seemingly addressed Blood’s comments in her Instagram stories, writing: “Smiling so hard in a mugshot about my livelyhood.”
James Bond who? MGM Studios will eventually find their new 007, and multiplexes will be full when he does arrive on the big screen again. However, no shortage exists of espionage-fueled stories on the small screen with Slow Horses, The Day Of The Jackal, and Black Doves leading recent streaming trends. Soon, an upcoming movie stars Bridgerton‘s Phoebe Dynevor (who was phenomenal in Netflix’s Fair Play, if you’d like to see her in thriller mode now) and House of the Dragon baddie Rhys Ifans as a daughter-father duo who do not fare well within an international conspiracy.
That shouldn’t be too shocking, since that’s how these stories begin, but director Neil Burger (Limitless, Divergent, The Illusionist) promises a different arc in Inheritance, so let’s get down to it.
Plot
Dynevor portrays Maya, who begins the film reeling after her mother’s death. She falls into alcohol-soaked mourning but then falls in with her estranged father, only to learn that he was “once a spy.” Well, that’s not exactly in the past. As the movie’s trailer reveals, the two set up shop together, but Dad disappears, leaving Maya to embark upon a dangerous rescue mission.
The film features extensive action scenes, including Dynevor hanging over New York on a harness, and “I also almost got arrested for staying in character on the streets of New York and thinking I was in a ‘Borat’ movie.” This film is also sequel-minded, if audiences respond to the IFC Films project. Dynevor wants to see Maya “thriving” as “a wonderful spy,” if that tells you anything at all about what she “inherits” from Dad.
How is this film different than every other spy thriller out there right now? For starters, Burger shot the movie on an iPhone. As Dynevor told Indiewire, that “guerrilla” aesthetic made the movie “a unique experience and probably something I’ll never get to do again.” The production went globetrotting, and “[t]here was no wait time for camera set- ups, no makeup checks, or rehearsals. We’d arrive at the location and then immediately shoot as much as we could in the time that we had. It enabled us to travel with a small crew and have to stay in character a lot.”
In the same interview, Burger described his leading lady’s performance as entirely different than Bridgerton would lead you to believe. Maya is “witty and caustic and self-destructive and enterprising.” He added, “She had a toughness and a wit I hadn’t expected and I was completely sold. Since then I’ve seen how incredibly talented she is. Up until now, people have only seen a tiny sliver of what she’s capable of. ‘Inheritance’ will change that — people will be knocked out by her performance.”
Cast
Phoebe Dynevor and Rhys Ifans lead with appearances from Ciara Baxendale, Majd Eid, and more.
Release Date
Inheritance arrives on January 24, 2025.
Trailer
The full trailer promises a tense ride, not necessarily while calling it spying.
Outside of her hit-filled decades long career, Cher is notoriously known for her love of younger men. The “Believe” singer’s romantic history as a courage dates back to her 1980s fling with actor Val Kilmer to Cher’s present day boyfriend, music executive Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards. Still, even Cher has age restrictions when it comes to love.
When describing their first encounter, Cher wrote that after her boyfriend at the time, musician Antonino LoTempio introduced them, Spector made her uncomfortable by the way her looked her “up and down.”
“He might have been a demigod to many, but he acted weird, and I didn’t like how he stared at me,” she wrote.
Cher then said Spector made his move which he thought would go over her head as it was verbalized in French. “‘Voulez-vous coucher avec moi,’” he alleged asked.
Roughly translated to English Spector’s question was “Do you want to sleep with me?”
“Without breaking a sweat, I gave him a look back and replied, ‘Oui, pour l’argent,’” she replied which translates to “Yes, for the money.”
According to Cher, Spector was rattled by her answer, writing: “You could have knocked him over with a feather. He didn’t think I’d understand the question, let alone have an answer.”
This wouldn’t be the last time the pair found themselves in a tense moment. Cher alleged that Spector pulled a gun on her when she confronted him about “illegally using her vocals in a single” he released in Europe.

Now, it appears the incident is under investigation by local authorities. According to TMZ, Detroit Police have sent a warrant request naming Nicki Minaj to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.
Legal sources close to the matter tell the outlet that it is now up to Detroit’s prosecutor “to decide if they’ll file criminal charges” against Minaj. Although Brandon Garrett remains steadfast on the assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress allegations listed in his filing, evidence will need to be gathered from the day in question before it can move forward.
Minaj’s lawyer Judd Burstein denied Garrett’s claims in a statement issued to the outlet. “At this time, no complaint has been served upon Mrs. Petty,” he said. “Therefore, we are unaware of the specific allegations. However, if the lawsuit is as reported by TMZ, it is completely false and frivolous. We are confident that the matter brought by this ex assistant will be resolved swiftly in Mrs. Petty’s favor.”
Garrett is also seeking undisclosed damages for the alleged incident.
Now that the calendar has turned to 2025, we are just 7 months away from the start of the NBA’s new media rights deal, which means new rights holders NBC and Amazon Prime Video are looking to fill out their teams for game broadcasts and studio coverage.
NBC figures to have some of their team already on staff, particularly in the hosting and play-by-play realm, with the likes of Mike Tirico, Noah Eagle, and Maria Taylor all potentially playing a role in their NBA plans — and Jamal Crawford signed on to do game analyst work. Amazon, however, has to build everything from scratch and are already filling out an impressive roster of talent themselves. Ian Eagle will be their lead play-by-play man, while Taylor Rooks has reportedly signed on as the host of their studio coverage.
Joining Rooks on the Amazon studio desk will be two recent stars, with Dirk Nowitzki and Blake Griffin reportedly signing deals with the streaming giant, per Andrew Marchand of The Athletic. Nowitzki was previously reported to be in agreement on a deal with Amazon, and he’s shown he has solid TV chops in guest appearances on TNT’s Inside the NBA in the past. Griffin is, I think, a huge get for Amazon as he’s the recent former player I think could be the closest thing to Charles Barkley on TV in terms of just being authentically funny and not afraid of making a joke about anyone, including himself — Draymond Green, to be clear, is way more Shaq than Chuck when it comes to his persona on TV.
There are still plenty of spots still to fill out for both NBC and Amazon on their broadcast lineups. The Prime Video studio desk likely still needs at least one more analyst (a host and three analysts has become the standard thanks to Inside, with Amazon’s NFL desk having four analysts), while NBC still needs to fill out its studio team and both have a long way to go in adding game analysts and more play-by-play men and women. Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony are both names that have popped up as big-name options for both networks, and then there are also those currently at TNT who could end up in a new home as well. I also wouldn’t be surprised if ESPN looks to get in on the hiring spree to refresh their game coverage for next season as well.

10. Dexter: Original Sin – Showtime series streaming on Paramount+
Michael C. Hall’s monologue acts as the indispensable link that connects this show to the rest of the franchise, but Patrick Gibson’s starring turn is growing on Dexter devotees. Likewise, Molly Brown is going to town on why Deb has such a chip on her shoulder, not to mention some attachment issues, and Christian Slater is perfect at revealing Harry Morgan’s inner turmoil while bestowing Dexter with a code. Don’t worry about this series eclipsing the flagship series’ mojo, though, because Hall will appear in the flesh in Dexter: Resurrection as the killer of serial killers who will not die. Also, there will be a Trinity Killer prequel show because obviously.
Man, Michael Fassbender loves to portray spies, assassins, and any combination therein. This series is a new take on French TV show Le Bureau des Legendes, and Paramount+ With Showtime has declared their show to be a streaming hit, so there will probably be future seasons. In the meantime, viewers are still acquainting themselves with Fassbender’s character, who is really called “Martian,” and his double-life romantic dalliances (with Jodie Turner-Smith) that have gone crashing into his professional sphere.
Colin Firth is back in ultra-serious mode (sadly, there will be a Mark Darcy-shaped hole in the fourth Bridget Jones movie) in this series inspired by the real-life tragedy of Pan Am Flight 103’s 1988 explosion over a Scottish town. Firth (as Dr. Jim Swire, whose daughter perished in the disaster) picks up the role of a spokesperson for UK families who lost loved ones, and what he discovers will change his entire worldview.
Dead To Me showrunner Liz Feldman brought back Linda Cardellini in this whodunnit-type murder mystery series. Linda portrays a glossy socialite and pain in the ass alongside characters portrayed by Lisa Kudrow, Ray Romano, O-T Fagbenle, Luke Wilson, and Denis Leary. Feldman has talked with Entertainment Weekly about her plans for the show’s possible future, which would involve a “whole new house,” so don’t get too attached to any of these characters. Simply enjoy.
It took too long for Keira Knightley to portray a spy (Helen) with a gay-assassin best friend (Sam) in this cozy-thriller series with a bit of John Wick flavor. Regular doses of bleak humor and a stellar supporting cast (including Sarah Lancashire, Andrew Buchan, Ella Lily Hyland, and Andrew Koji) left this show’s audience wanting more but also feeling satisfied, which is precisely where every series should take its regularly scheduled breaks. I’d still like to know how Helen manages to miss out on so much sleep and still function as a homemaker after her revenge sprees, but alright, fine. Belief duly suspended.
This high-concept film leaves the sequel door open but is also entertaining of its own volition. Taron Egerton stars as a TSA agent who must thwart a plan to wreak havoc during the Christmas travel season, and Jason Bateman going villain with the always underrated Theo Rossi is worth the price of admission. It’s not a The Outsider and Emily The Criminal crossover, but it’s close enough and worth plopping into the queue.
Ainsley is starting to cool down a bit. Whew. Michelle Randolph’s character has proven to be both controversial and viral, and the 1923 actress has (as she told Screenrant) found a way to film her performance and “put it out into the world, and that’s where my job kind of ends.” How people “interpret” her character is something that she’s had to let go of, but Randolph was probably still relieved to see Ainsley put away the sexual comments and sunbathing sessions for a new character arc. Will it last? Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris would prefer as much, but we’ll see how Ainsley completes the season and if Taylor Sheridan can crack more bawdy jokes in the meantime.
This Warner Bros. TV series was cancelled last year by Starz after two seasons, but the Courteney Cox and Greg Kinnear-starring series has found life on Max. Does this mean that the series will be miraculously renewed by WBD? Probably not, but that won’t deter people from wondering the answer to that question, so get ready. Cox and Kinnear star as a couple desperate to save their marriage (after he has an affair), so they decide that moving from NYC to Connecticut could solve their issues. Unfortunately for the whole family, their new Victorian-era abode is haunted as heck by a ghost portrayed by Mira Sorvino, and yep, this is a satiric horror comedy series that came naturally for longtime Scream star Cox.
Harlan Coben is swiftly becoming streaming royalty, and here, he created this limited series about a detective who probably should have stayed off the dating apps. That’s actually wonderful advice for almost everybody, but this series still rolls with a Missing Persons unit sleuth who matches with one who got away, and of course, there are terrible secrets that will be uncovered. If you’re down for a romantically-framed thriller, expect some outrageous twists.
A third and final season is underway after Netflix pulled off another mammoth streaming launch of this Hwang Dong-hyuk-created survival series. How, exactly, is Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) still alive? The better question is whether he will survive the arena again in the series finale, which will arrive later this year for more games against the death machine. The metaphors of this show remain stark, and the audience is still hooked and waiting for more.
