Sabrina Carpenter Ranks Acting A Close Second Behind Music On Her Priorities List

Sabrina Carpenter’s music career can be broken up into two acts: Her child star days on the Disney-owned Hollywood Records and the mainstream pop star era that followed. Before both of those, though, she was an actor, most notably on Girl Meets World. (Also, who could forget her iconic role in the 2011 video game Just Dance Kids 2?)

Now, Carpenter finds herself in a position where she could make a big return to acting. But, she doesn’t see herself focusing on that over music.

When asked in a new Variety feature if she’ll always prioritize singing over acting, Carpenter responded, “Music is always going to be my true No. 1, but there’s something really special about playing an incredible role. So I would say No. 1 is music and No. 1½ is acting.”

She also spoke about what it was like to feature on Taylor Swift’s album The Life Of A Showgirl, saying, “Ten-year-old me, for so many reasons, could not believe it — to hear our voices together. We definitely realized it was special, but I would have never been like, ‘Hey, bestie, put me on a song.’ She was so gracious to think of me for a song that spoke to our life experiences in such a real, genuine way. It really sums up what so many young women in this industry go through.”

Tyler, The Creator’s Next Le Fleur Collection Will Be His Last

tyler the creator le fleur
Luis “Panch” Perez

Tyler, The Creator’s le Fleur clothing line has been a useful creative outlet for him, but as he told fans via his Instagram today, the clothing line has run its course. His next le Fleur collection, he says, will be his last, as he moves onto other projects — such as his acting career, which officially launches this month with the A24 sports epic Marty Supreme, also starring Timothée Chalamet.

“Making clothes, my second passion,” he wrote. “I started this back in 2019 as a side project. The goal was to mirror things that matched my personal style. It grew into a very special world of specific colors, shapes, patterns, etc … this has taken me to places I’ve dreamed of. Louise Trotter gave me my first real chance at Lacoste. Virgil helped shape the blueprint on getting things made. Pharrell opened the doors at Louis Vuitton. I’m forever grateful for every helping hand that understood the language. I never wanted to be in the lookbooks or campaigns but for this last one it felt right ( I was the fit model after all).”

“I loved these clothes over the years so so so so so much,” he continued. “Every Pantone picked, every commercial shot, every sample that came in, it fed my spirit in ways nothing else could. It was a language I wanted to create, but now it’s time to slow down on communicating.” Given he’s still designing for GOLF, his other clothing brand, it doesn’t seem as though the second line is quite as needed.

Don’t feel too bad about the end of Le Fleur clothing, though. Tyler promised that the brand will continue to produce its bread-and-butter accessories and fragrances, along with collaborations with other clothing brands. You can see the final lookbook and shop the collection here.

Amanda Seyfried And Daniel Blumberg Share An Evocative Duet For ‘The Testament Of Ann Lee’

In the upcoming The Testament Of Ann Lee, Amanda Seyfried plays the leader of a Christian sect. For the film, composer Daniel Blumberg composed the score, along with three original songs. One of them, “Clothed By The Sun,” is a duet with Seyfried that plays over the movie’s end credits, and the song has been shared today (December 3).

There’s also a performance video of the song.

In a statement, Blumberg says of the song:

“When I write songs, usually the best ones happen very quickly and naturally. With ‘Clothed By The Sun,’ I plugged in my electric guitar and it all came out in one piece. I think that was possible because the whole world of the film, and Ann Lee’s story was in my bones after having been so submerged in the project for over a year. I was missing my brother who lives far away from me, and found Ann Lee’s relationship with William [her brother] quite moving, so I started with that line about her Brother’s love.

Amanda did the vocals the next day from a studio in New York. It was originally written as a solo for her to sing, but it ended up being a duet, mostly because Mona liked the new atmosphere that leaves us with at the end of the film. It has a more contemporary feeling to the song which felt appropriate with the cards on the film explaining where the shakers are today. Amanda and I would sing a lot together during the recording sessions for the film so it’s nice to have a recording of us singing together finally and also an excuse to do some live concerts.”

An official description of the movie reads, “From award-winning writer-director Mona Fastvold comes the extraordinary true legend of Ann Lee, founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers. Academy Award nominee Amanda Seyfried stars as the Shaker’s irrepressible leader, who preached gender and social equality and was revered by her followers. The Testament Of Ann Lee captures the ecstasy and agony of her quest to build a utopia, featuring more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous movements with choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall and original songs & score by Academy Award winner Daniel Blumberg.”

The film is set to hit select theaters on December 25 before a nationwide release in January 2026. Check out the trailer below.

Joji Announces His Fourth Album, ‘Piss In The Wind,’ With The ‘Pixelated Kisses (Remix)’ FeaturingYeat

Joji returned earlier this year with the moody new single “Pixelated Kisses,” and today, he’s dropped the glitchy video for its remix featuring fellow digital music misfit Yeat to announce the impending release of his fourth studio album, Piss In The Wind.

The “Pixelated Kisses” remix video embraces the visuals evoked by its title, simulating a glitchy video experience populated by Japanese bargirls. Meanwhile, his reference to all the satellites being down from the chorus is echoed by the use of broken clips of space shuttle launches. Yeat appears in his usual balaclava, distorted by digital noise like a bad Wi-Fi connection.

Joji has released two other singles this year, “If It Only Gets Better” and “Past Won’t Leave My Bed.” With the album landing February 6, 2026, via Palace Creek, Joji’s announcement gives fans plenty of lead time to prepare — and himself plenty of time to continue hyping the release. Its title is a reference to an ineffective activity or a waste of time, but it doesn’t sound like the album is going to be either of those things — which is just another effect of Joji’s snarky, chronically online sense of humor.

You can watch the video for Joji’s “Pixelated Kisses” remix featuring Yeat above.

Piss In The Wind is due on 2/6/26 via Palace Creek. You can find more info here.

This week, the show will add a new wrinkle: Musical performances.

On Friday, December 5, NBA Nightcap will debut its new segment, “Amazon Music Presents: In The Paint,” with its first-ever musical guests, Clipse. The segment will be filmed “in the paint,” literally, on the LED half court that the studio team uses for in-depth, three-dimensional analysis. Here’s a look at what the stage looks like:

The performance is just the latest of Clipse’s many firsts in 2025. The recently reunited duo dropped their fourth studio album, Let God Sort Em Out, before embarking on their first tour in 15 years, where they were joined onstage by the likes of Kendrick Lamar.

Gaby Dalkin Teaches Us How To Make The Perfect Snickerdoodle Pizookie

gaby_cheers(1024x450)
Uproxx

Gaby Dalkin is one of those chefs that is big on all the platforms, her Instagram is in the six figures and her TikTok isn’t far behind. Her consistent messaging of clean California living via delicious and indulgent (but healthy) food has clearly struck a chord with her loyal followers and fans.

We caught up with Gaby freshly off Maternity leave and dove right into her world of grilling anything and everything, including decadent dessert treats like the interestingly named Snickerdoodle Pizookie (i.e. a cookie grilled in a pizza-style pan), which she relates back to her days of tennis practice in Arizona. After our chat, we’ll run you through how to make the perfect pizookie on your next camping trip or backyard grill sesh.

Make it this weekend and tag @UproxxLife on IG to share your results!

Gaby Dalkin

To start — what is a pizookie?

Pizookie is half pizza, half cookie. So it’s a traditional cookie dough base that you bake in some form of a pizza tin or a small skillet. It’s phenomenal. You can do chocolate chip, you can do snickerdoodle, you can do M&M. If you want to add nuts, I support you, but don’t invite me over. You do with it what you will.

I love nuts, but not in something with chocolate. I need my mouth to get to the chocolate as fast as humanly possible, so the nuts get in the way.

You mentioned that you use a skillet, what are some alternatives to using a skillet if you don’t have one at home? Or is that a must?

I use a 9-10 inch skillet. Any oven heat-safe baking dish is totally fine.

I like the skillet because it’s a little bit thicker than just a traditional baking tin. If you are doing this (recipe) on a smoker or a grill, you have a little bit more of a barrier between the pizookie and the heat source. If you are cooking this in a traditional oven, which you totally can, then a regular baking pan is fine.

What are the benefits of using a smoker for this recipe?

My latest cookbook is all about grilling, so everything in the entire book was either done on a smoker or a grill of some sort. It all started because during COVID, we didn’t have a kitchen, so I was cooking everything on my grill or my smoker, including frittatas, cookies, etc. I wanted to test to see if baked goods translated as well in an outdoor setting, and they do. If you’re firing up ribs and steaks and you’ve already got a grill or smoker going, you might as well throw a delicious dessert on there, too, so you’re not heating up your oven if it’s a hot summer day.

Are there any flavor benefits to using a smoker?

If you are smoking for a long period of time, it would change the flavor profile, but this bakes for a short amount of time, so it doesn’t take on any smoking flavor.

Why use unsalted versus salted butter for this recipe? And then is there a specific brand that you prefer for that?

If you looked at my freezer right now, you would see the extra creamy unsalted butter from Tillamook is there, probably with eight four-packs. I’m a diehard fan of the Tillamook butter. I tend to always bake with unsalted because I add my own salt to the recipe. If you wanted to use the Tillamook salted butter, absolutely. Be my guest. Just omit the salt at the end of the recipe because that butter is delicious and salty enough.

Why large versus other size eggs? And do you have any brands that you prefer or tips for picking out eggs?

I’m a Vital Farms egg girl. At the store you’re looking for eggs with uncracked shells, and you want to check the date on the egg carton to make sure it hasn’t expired. All the other tests for making sure your eggs are really fresh are things you can’t do at the grocery store. It’s like the float test, when you place an egg in a bowl of water, and if it sinks and turns on its side, it’s fresh. If it sinks and it doesn’t tilt, it’s older. So you definitely can’t do that at the grocery store because you’re not bringing a bowl of water to your local Ralph’s.

As far as the flour, is there any specific brand you recommend?

I’m a Bob’s Red Mill flour kind of girl – all-purpose works or their gluten-free all-purpose substitute because it’s a one-to-one ratio. If you’re looking at other kinds of flours, an almond flour or anything like that, you’re getting into different flour protein ratios, and those don’t translate in this recipe as well. So all-purpose is the way to go for this one.

Cream of tartar, what is that, and what does that contribute to the recipe?

Cream of tartar is used in baking and baked goods to prevent them from deflating. It’s a stabilizer, essentially. You don’t want to make an incredible pizookie and it inflates in oven and then deflates when it comes out. The cream of tartar helps keep its thickness even when you remove it from the oven.

What are the biggest challenges that somebody looking at this recipe wouldn’t expect that could happen during the process of this?

The most alarming part of this recipe people might freak out about is the fact that we’re doing it in a smoker, but I also say you can heat your oven to the same temperature, 375, and then you’re not dealing with the wood pellets. I think that’s probably the only hold-up as far as people looking at this recipe and not knowing what to do.

Otherwise, I would say all of this is very pantry staple. The Tillamook vanilla bean ice cream is a freezer staple. It’s all ingredients that people are readily familiar with.

How To Make A Snickerdoodle Pizookie, According to Gaby Dalkin

Gaby Dalkin

Ingredients

  • Nonstick baking spray
  • 1 cup (230 g/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 3⁄4 cups (350 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 3⁄4 cups (350 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Tillamook Vanilla Bean ice cream, for serving

    Method

  • Preheat a pellet smoker (or your oven) to 375oF (190oC), load the hopper with wood pellets,
    and let it heat up with the lid closed for at least 15 minutes.
  • Spray a 9- to 10-inch (23 to 25cm) grill-safe (ovenproof) skillet with nonstick baking spray.
  • Using an electric mixer over medium-high speed, cream together the butter and 1 1⁄2 cups
    (300 g) of the sugar for 2 to 3 minutes, until smooth.
  • Add the eggs, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add the flour, cream of tartar, 1
    tablespoon of the cinnamon, the baking soda, and salt and mix on low speed until
    everything is incorporated.
  • To make the topping, combine the remaining 1⁄4 cup (50 g) sugar and remaining 1 1⁄2
    teaspoons cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Transfer the batter to the skillet and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top of
    the batter. Bake for 22 to 24 minutes, until still slightly gooey in the middle and golden
    around the edges. Remove from the pellet smoker (or oven) and let rest for a few minutes.
  • Top with scoops of ice cream and serve.

    Where To Eat, Drink, Sleep And Explore Year-Round In The Heart Of The Alps: Andermatt, Switzerland

    switzerland_year_round(1024x450)
    Merle Cooper/Emily Hart/UPROXX

    From as far back as I can remember, I grew up looking at a photo in my grandfather’s office of his “family home” in Switzerland. The chalet amongst the forested mountains looked unreal, even as a child. I was enamored with the photo, but truthfully never imagined I’d see the landscape myself.

    That all changed (luckily) this year, as I was invited to spend time exploring the Alps in Andermatt, Switzerland. You might not be familiar with Andermatt (I wasn’t, transparently) but while this ski area doesn’t have the same number of opulent trending TikTok videos as St. Moritz or Zermatt — that’s a really good thing — this village in the heart of the Alps needs to be on your radar.

    What has in the past been a vacation spot for those “in-the-know”, Vail Resort’s recent acquisition of majority ownership in Andermatt’s Ski Resort is changing things. Now outdoor enthusiasts are able to use their Epic Pass at Andermatt-Sedrun-Disentis making a trip here even more desirable.

    Here is what to do while you’re there – any time of year.

    HOW TO GET TO ANDERMATT:

    Andermatt feels very remote, but it is surprisingly simple to travel to. Most visitors (like me) will fly into Zurich and either rent a car or ride the train the less than 70 miles to Andermatt.

    Swiss Travel Pass

    Swiss Train
    Emily Hart

    I traveled exclusively by train on my recent trip to Switzerland, and I can’t recommend it enough. Like, catch me making all the cliche videos of “American girl goes to Europe and romanticises everything about the train” — but I just can’t help it.

    I recommend buying a Swiss Travel Pass or Half-Fare Card for the duration of your visit so you’re able to jump on and off any train or bus (many boat rides, museum admissions, and other perks are also included)

    The train left directly from the Zurich airport and I had just two transfers before pulling into the Andermatt station that is also situated in walkable distance to nearly everywhere in town.

    Once you’re in Andermatt, everything is walkable or gondola-able — but more on that later.

    Gondola
    Emily Hart

    WHERE TO STAY:

    Andermatt is in the process of a large expansion that will see multiple new hotels open in the next few years. But until then, there are still plenty of options for anyone’s budget. I stayed in two properties during my visit, and recommend them both depending on how much you want to invest (and how bougie you are).

    The Chedi Andermatt

    Chedi Andermatt
    Emily Hart

    The Chedi Andermatt, to me, is a reason to visit Andermatt in and of itself. The luxurious 5-star hotel is stunning, with a unique blend of Alpine chic and Asian-inspired design. The one-of-a-kind property offers 123 elegant and spacious rooms and suites, ranging from the standard deluxe room (that is anything but standard) to expansive penthouse suites.

    Each room has the moody Alpine-Asian design that is throughout the hotel, with luxurious amenities, Hästens beds, large windows showcasing the mountain views, and spacious bathrooms with soaking tubs.

    Chedi Andermatt
    Emily Hart

    The high-end hotel has the prices to match, but the service and experience are well worth it — especially for a special occasion. I loved swimming in the indoor/outdoor pools surrounded by the Alps and spending time drinking Glühwein in the winter village area, which takes on a different form in the summer months with special events and pop-ups.

    Rates: Off-season summer rates can start around $650 a night and climb to a starting rate of $1,200+ during ski season.

    Radisson Blu Hotel Reussen, Andermatt

    Radisson Blu
    Emily Hart

    The Radisson Blu Hotel Reussen, Andermatt is about as high end as a chain hotel comes. With sleek and modern design and a phenomenal location– within walking distance of the Andermatt village center and the ski lifts – visitors staying here can easily explore the charming village shops and restaurants or jump right into winter sports.

    Rates: vary from around $220 in the off-season to $400 during ski season.

    WHERE TO EAT AND DRINK:

    The Japanese

    The Japanese
    Emily Hart

    There are actually two The Japanese restaurants in Andermatt: the fine-dining restaurant at the top of the Gütsch mountain and the even higher-end 2 Michelin Star Japanese at The Chedi. I was lucky to be able to dine at the latter, enjoying an exquisite six-course omakase menu prepared by Executive (and twin) Chefs Dominik Sato and Fabio Toffolon.

    A four-course menu is 230 Francs, five courses for 260, or six courses for 290.

    Gütsch by Markus Neff

    Gutsch
    Emily Hart

    Ride the gondola to the top of the Gütsch Mountain summit for some Michelin-starred dining or apres-ing at Gütsch by Markus Neff. Known for its gourmet cuisine and stunning views, this is a spot you’ll want to hang out at all afternoon.

    I enjoyed a tasting menu that changes frequently with expert Swiss wine pairings. The view from indoors or out is exceptional, and the service went above and beyond, even providing sunscreen and sunglasses to anyone who needed them.

    Soups and pastas range from 28 – 39 Francs, and mains range from 62 – 99.

    Fondue Burg

    Fondue Burg
    Emily Hart

    Head to Fondue Burg in nearby Hospental for incredible Swiss fondue, a cozy atmosphere, and very friendly service. I will be dreaming of the truffle champagne fondue and whisky flambe dessert until the next time I visit.

    Traditional fondue is 34 CHF per person, and truffle champagne fondue is 56 CHF per person.

    Alp-Hittä

    alp-hitta
    Emily Hart

    Alp Hittä is a restaurant and club in a modern alpine hut located at Nätschen, above Andermatt. Sitting 1,840 meters above sea level, dining (or just drinking) here offers stunning views of the mountains and the Urseren Valley inside and out on the terrace. I loved visiting the restaurant after a morning skiing nearby for some cozy fare and an Aperol spritz.

    Appetizers start at around 14 Francs, and main courses start at around 26.

    The Chedi

    Chedi Andermatt
    Emily Hart

    Whether you’re staying at The Chedi or elsewhere, you’ll want to stop in for a meal at The Restaurant or a drink at The Bar & Living Room. The Restaurant offers a wide selection of fresh and elegant modern Swiss cuisine, with open kitchens throughout the dining room and a dreamy cheese room you can visit to make your selections with the help of an expert. The Bar and Living Room offers an eclectic and inventive cocktail menu, based on their “Kidult” ethos.

    Specialty cocktails at The Bar range from 18 – 25 CHF. The Restaurant offers several sharing and tasting menus starting at 99 CHF per person, as well as al a carte options with starters beginning at 26 CHF and main courses ranging from 42 – 75 CHF.

    WHERE TO EXPLORE:

    Ski Or Snowboard At Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis

    Ski Andermatt
    Emily Hart

    Andermatt boasts a well-deserved reputation as a skier’s paradise. Part of the Andermatt-Sedrun-Disentis ski area, it offers a massive skiing area with something for every skill level. I spent my time with a ski school instructor and had a blast.

    Vail Resorts recently acquired a majority ownership in the ski area, which is great news for those with an Epic Pass, as it’s now part of the pass.

    Explore Old Town Andermatt

    Old Town Andermatt
    Emily Hart

    Spend some time walking through Old Town Andermatt. The charming and picturesque area stays true to its traditional Swiss character, filled with cobbled streets with colorful buildings adorned with flower boxes that create a storybook atmosphere.

    Relax In The Chedi Spa

    Chedi Spa
    Emily Hart

    After a day of hiking or skiing (or neither) head to the spa at The Chedi for a treatment or simply to relax at the large indoor/outdoor pool, sauna, steam, or hot tub. I enjoyed a massage during my visit and multiple visits to the spa amenities that were truly spectacular.

    Day passes for non-guests are 200 CHF, and treatments vary with massages beginning at 200 CHF.

    Après-Ski Or Après-Hike

    Apres
    Emily Hart

    If you visit a ski village and don’t après, were you ever really even there? Andermatt isn’t the flashiest spot in Switzerland, but you’ll find plenty of options for drinks and socializing after skiing or hiking. Visit the mountainside restaurants, Cotton Club, or many other bars and restaurants that dot Old Town for a drink and some views.

    Ride The Glacier Express Train

    Glacier Express
    Emily Hart

    The Glacier Express, known as the “slowest express train in the world,” travels a scenic route through the Swiss Alps, linking St. Moritz in the eastern part of the country to Zermatt in the southwest. It conveniently stops in Andermatt. The journey covers about 180 miles at an average speed of 24 mph and takes roughly eight hours to complete the entire route.

    During my visit, I traveled on The Glacier Express from Andermatt to Chur – the oldest town in Switzerland – to explore before taking an express train back to Andermatt.

    Tickets vary between $77 and $272 depending on what class (1st or 2nd) and how far you travel.
