Month: February 2025

Billie Eilish is currently in the midst of an Australian tour, and while there, she delivered some insight during a chat with local media.

In a new interview with Australia’s The Hot Hits, Eilish was asked about her plans for the the next 12 months and if they include getting back in the studio. Her response confirmed that and also suggested news of more tour dates is coming:

“Yeah, definitely getting back into the studio and doing stuff. Next 12 months, I want to… I definitely have more tour, lots of tour to do, and probably more than I’m even scheduled for that’s gonna come, which I’m excited about. I feel like [touring], I’ve really made it into something really fun and enjoyable where it’s not always been that way. I’ve really suffered on tour and I feel like it’s gotten to be really, really enjoyable, so I’m excited for that.”

One of the interviewers also asked Eilish for life advice, and Eilish emphasized having patience. She said:

“It’s hard, and I don’t have a lot of patience just in general. But I really mean, not necessarily in little situations. I mean, that too, but more in the larger scheme of things and how things can feel really big and intense and like, that’s it, forever. When you’re in that kind of weird place of, like, ‘This is it, this is all I’m ever going to feel and I’m stuck here forever and nothing’s ever going to change,’ even if it’s good or bad. Like sometimes, you feel like that when things are good: You’re like, ‘I’m going to be happy forever,’ and vice versa. I think it’s really important, especially when you’re feeling those dark things, and I hope you aren’t, but when you are, it’s really good to just be like, just, ‘Patience time.’”

Last week, Tate McRae released a new album, So Close To What, which officially includes features from Flo Milli and The Kid Laroi. Unofficially, however, the album has a third, uncredited special guest: Sydney Sweeney. McRae confirmed the rumors on Tuesday’s episode of The Tonight Show.

“Well, okay, it’s crazy because… my episode that I was on last year, she was doing the couch here, so that’s when we first saw each other in the hall,” she explained to host Jimmy Fallon. “And then Glen Powell, who I do Pilates with sometimes, he just connected…”

Fallon cut in with a joke (“A lot of people want to do Pilates with Glen Powell”) before McRae continued with her anecdote about Sweeney’s Anyone But You co-star. “He connected us. Sydney was such a legend. She sent me like 10 versions of this little voice-memo thing,” she said. “It was like three days before the release, and she was the absolute best for doing it. So it was so cool.”

Maybe McRae can repay Sweeney’s favor by guest-starring in season 3 of Euphoria (yes, it’s actually happening).

Back in 2022, Millie Bobby Brown expressed interest in playing Britney Spears in a biopic, saying, “I want to play a real person and I think for me, Britney. [It] would be Britney Spears. I think her story, first of all, resonates with me. Just growing up in the public eye watching her videos, watching interviews of how when she was younger. […] I don’t know her, but when I look at pictures of her, I feel like I could tell her story in the right way and hers only.”

That seemed to rub Spears the wrong way, as she wrote on social media, “I hear about people wanting to do movies about my life … dude I’m not dead !!!”

That hasn’t dissuaded Brown, though.

In a new interview, Brown again said she’d like the play Spears, with the caveat that Spears should have the opportunity to tell her story her way. She said, “I mean, she is an absolute icon. I would love nothing more than to be a part of her story. But that’s her story, and I am in full support of her bringing her story to life how she wants to.”

The Elvis Presley estate is breathing a sigh of relief. Last year, the “Hound Dog” singer’s former home-turned-museum was wrapped up in an elaborate real estate scheme. Fortunately, the family caught the plot before losing control over Graceland.

Now, the suspect is in court answering for their action. According to the Associated Press, Lisa Jeanine Findley has pled guilty during the case’s latest hearing. Today (February 25), Findley told a Memphis federal judge she wanted cop to two counts of mail fraud. Although Findley was also charged with one count of aggravated identity theft, based on court documents obtained by the outlet, that has since been dropped.

The Missouri native was accused of masterminding a plot to defraud Elvis Presley’s family out of ownership of the Graceland mansion by forcing it into auction.

Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri, head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, detailed Findley’s alleged actions in a press conference. “In an alleged scheme to defraud Elvis Presley’s family of millions of dollars and steal the family’s ownership interest in Graceland,” she said. “As part of the brazen scheme, we allege that the defendant created numerous false documents and sought to extort a settlement from the Presley family.”

Findley claimed the late Lisa Marie Presley borrowed $3.8 million from a fictitious private lender. Within the fraudulent files, Findley said Presley put Graceland up as collateral. Following Presley’s death, Findley allegedly threatened the estate (which is now controlled by Presley’s daughter Riley Keough) to pay a $2.85 million settlement otherwise Graceland would be sent to auction.

Findley is due back in court on June 18 to be sentenced. Prior to her plea, Findley faced 20 years. But, according to AP, that could be drastic cut under a deal made with the prosecutor’s office.

Ozzy Osbourne’s wish to return to the stage will be granted soon enough. On July 5, the Princess of Darkness will reunite with Black Sabbath at their final Back To The Beginning show.

Although Osbourne will be at limited capacity, he’s eager to make it work. For those curious about Osbourne’s road to the stage, it will be the center of a new Paramount+ documentary, No Escape From Now (according to Variety).

No Escape From Now is described: “An honest, warm and deeply personal portrait of one of the greatest rock stars of all-time, detailing how the singer’s world shuddered to a halt six years ago, forcing him to contemplate who he really is, confront his own mortality and question whether or not he can ever perform on stage for one last time.”

The piece will detail Osbourne’s health struggles as well as his preparation for Back To The Beginning. em>Back To The Beginning is set to feature guest appearance from Osbourne’s wife Sharon, their children, Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi, Guns N’ Roses’ Duff McKagan, Metallica’s Robert Trujillo, Billy Idol, Tool’s Maynard James Keenan, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith, Zakk Wylde, Andrew Watt and Billy Morrison.

In a statement Sharon discussed the forthcoming work. “This film is an honest account of what has happened to Ozzy during the last few years,” she said. “It shows how hard things have been for him and the courage he has shown while dealing with a number of serious health issues, including Parkinson’s. It’s about the reality of his life now. We have worked with a production team we trust and have allowed them the freedom to tell the story openly. We hope that story will inspire people that are facing similar issues to Ozzy.”

A release date for No Escape From Now as not yet been shared.

Over the past several months, Jeezy’s legal team has been quite busy. Beyond his nasty court battle with ex-wife Jeannie Mai, the “Almighty Black Dollar” rapper is reportedly facing off his former management team.

According to TMZ, Jeezy (real name Jay Wayne Jenkins) filed a lawsuit against Solomon Fornie and Eddie Bridgeman yesterday (February 24).

In documents obtained by the outlet, Jenkins accused his past business partners of money mismanagement and blocking his access to key financial records.

Jenkins also claimed that Fornie and Bridgeman took unauthorized liberties with the funds brought in from his earnings as a recording artist for their own personal gain.

The suit comes after Jenkins attempted to cut professional ties with the duo back in 2024. At that time, he claimed Fornie and Bridgeman purposely obstructed his access to “the books.”

Without the records, Jenkins argues that he is “unable to comply with Georgia law” to get his company Agency 99 reinstated. Back in 2015, Jenkins, Fornie, and Bridgeman formed Agency 99 to keep an eye on his flourishing musical revenues streams. Since then Fornie and Bridgeman were responsible for day-to-day management.

The extent of the Fornie and Bridgeman’s supposed financial mismanagement was not outlined. Still, Jeezy is seeking damages for their alleged actions in additional to having the financial records turned over.

When We Were Young 2025 Poster

These days, it almost feels obligatory that a star-studded dystopian thriller will prominently include Jesse Plemons within the cast. Netflix series Zero Day checked that box and more with Plemons looking more dapper than the usual characters that he portrays, and the show further starred Robert De Niro, Lizzy Caplan, Matthew Modine, Clark Gregg, Gaby Hoffman, Bill Camp, Connie Britton, Joan Allen, and Dan Stevens.

The end of the series reveled that the call (i.e., the devastating cyberattack) was literally coming from within the House, and De Niro’s ex-president reeled throughout the series, not only from his discovery of who was responsible for the attack but also while he felt the effects of the Proteus technology. The twists and turns kept on going until the season finale, and the bingeable nature of this series left people wanting for more.

Will There Be A Zero Day Season 2 On Netflix?

Unless something changes, no.

Netflix is still calling Zero Day a “limited series,” but that doesn’t entirely rule out a followup because minds can always change. Remember how The Bear, Big Little Lies, The White Lotus, and Presumed Innocent were also billed as limited series? Exactly. Heck, The Bear is staring down a fourth season as we speak. TV, man. Gotta love it.

Model/Actriz’s name can not be found on the artists we hope release new albums this year list by Uproxx’s senior pop culture editor Josh Kurp. However, the “Mosquito” musicians have not left the minds of indie rock lovers.

Today (February 25), Model/Actriz confirmed they are ready to release their follow-up to 2023’s Dogsbody. This May, Model/Actriz’s long-awaited sophomore album Pirouette will hit streaming services. To get supporters prepared for what is to come, Model/Actriz has shared the project’s lead single, “Cinderella.”

Similar to Model/Actriz’s thrilling sonics, “Cinderella” is an exhilarating spin on a classic fairytale. In the track’s official video, directed by Nathan Castiel, the band reimagines the children’s story about discovering love in a hopeless place.

Lead vocalist Cole Haden discussed the inspiration behind the track and their upcoming album in a statement. “‘Cinderella’ distills within it many of the objectives that would become the lifeblood of ‘Pirouette,’” they said. “We aimed to write something with an inherent brightness that differed anything we had made before, and the light that shines through the song was made not through removing darkness, but through upping the contrast.”

Taylor Sheridan’s target audience certainly isn’t in a Sheridrought yet. The second and final 1923 season premiered over this past weekend, and eight episodes will keep that rodeo going for nearly two months.

What will come next? It won’t be the Beth and Rip show but will be The Madison, which will continue the Yellowstone saga, but none of Sheridan’s standalone series (Tulsa King, Lioness, Landman) are expected to return this year. Actually, that’s not entirely true because Mayor Of Kingstown could be back with a fourth season before 2025 ends, but what else? It’s going to be a strange year.

Let’s just say that last fall had at least four Sheridan shows releasing new weekly series, which is a sharp departure from how this year will roll out. Sheridan is as busy as ever, yet it’s simply going to be an odd several months for those who love to binge multiple Sheridan shows at once. So of course there’s a question we need to discuss.

When Will Taylor Sheridan’s The Madison Arrive On Paramount+?

As of now, Paramount+ hasn’t clarified a specific date, but the Michelle Pfeiffer and Matthew Fox-starring show should arrive in late 2025.

Earlier this year, Patrick J. Adams revealed that filming is complete after production stretched from Texas to Montana. The cast further includes Beau Garrett, Amiah Miller, Kevin Zegers, and Elle Chapman.

The show’s sparse description promises a “heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.” We’ll be watching for a release date, but for now, Sheridanland is full of mystery.
