Godzilla’s still got it, and even more so than usual these days, as proven in spades by the recent success of Toho’s Godzilla Minus One in theaters. Soon enough, the irradiated lizard will meet again with King Kong in WBD’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. This time, it does not appear that these two are punching each other‘s lights out. Rather, they must drop the rivalry and work together now, and Godzilla apparently allows Kong to take a piggyback ride on his scales in order to defeat a common enemy, the Skar King.
Wonderfully enough, that’s not the most adorable part of this film’s promotion yet. The official Godzilla X KongInstagram account has showcased new footage of Godzilla awakening from a nap. And yes, he likes to feel cozy, much like a cat. Behold him napping in The Colosseum before stomping through his (meme-d up) “little mental health walks” in the Tiber river.
Very relatable stuff. I’d be angry if I was Godzilla as well. He’s seen some sh*t, and the dude simply wanted to catch some shuteye before saving humanity. Give him a cozy blanket after this movie is over.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire destroys Rome (among other places) in theaters on March 29.
Sean “Diddy” Combs, who has been battling with multiple sexual assault and harassment lawsuits over the past several months, is now also being accused of a shooting at an LA recording studio in one of the complaints. According to NBC News, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who filed the most recent suit alleging harassment by Combs, including the accusations regarding an incident he claims took place at a producers’ camp at Chalice Recording Studio in Los Angeles in September 2022.
Jones claims that while attending the camp, he heard an altercation in a bathroom, then gunshots. Afterward, he says Combs and his son Justin exited, while Justin’s friend “G” was left lying on the floor bleeding from his leg. He says he helped G to an ambulance waiting outside, while Diddy told him to tell the police that G was shot in a drive-by outside the studio. The Los Angeles Fire Department and Chalice Studio wer easked for comment by NBC but did not respond. Jones’ complaint was amended today with new information from the LAPD and Combs’ attorneys.
While the complaint says Diddy and Justin were at the studio and that the LAPD saw the blood-stained bathroom, the official police report says that the shooting occurred on the street blocks away and G went to the studio after being shot. They say the victim told them he was approached by two men on the street while standing next to his vehicle who tried to rob him, then shot him in the course of a struggle. Police arrested three people two months later, crediting them with the shooting.
Meanwhile, Diddy’s attorney maintains that he was not even at Chalice the night of the shooting. Meanwhile, Jones said in the amended complaint that Combs had contracted a private investigator to dig up dirt on Jones to discredit his claims.

With Dune: Part Two conquering the box office thanks to its gorgeous visuals, copious amounts of sandworms, and a wave of positive reviews, the big question is how much did the wildly expansive sequel cost and is the franchise looking strong enough to green light a third film?
Well, the good news is things are looking very promising for Denis Villeneuve‘s take on Frank Herbert’s iconic sci-fi series. There’s nothing but positive signs after Dune: Part Two‘s opening box office weekend, which kicked off a considerable about of momentum as the sequel starts its theatrical.
We’ll break down the numbers for you.
How Much Did ‘Dune: Part Two’ Cost To Make?
According to NPR, Dune: Part Two reportedly cost around $190 million. While that’s considerably larger than initial reports that Dune: Part Two only cost somewhere in the $122 million range, the opening box office is painting a very rosy picture for the franchise’s profitability.
Dune: Part Two opened to $81.5 million domestically. Internationally, however, the sequel did even better where it racked up $97 million. That’s a combined total of $178.5 million, which puts Dune: Part Two in very close striking distance to covering its budget. Add in a wave of positive word of mouth going into Part Two‘s second weekend, and the sequel should be a box office success for Warner Bros.
Case in point, here’s what Uproxx‘s Mike Ryan said about the film:
“You’re going to see people throw around the word ‘masterpiece’ about Dune: Part Two and I’m not going to sit here and tell you they are wrong,” Ryan wrote. “It very well might be. (I would say, ask me in a year.) But Dune: Part Two is certainly up there with some of the best science fiction movies I’ve ever seen. And yeah, turns out Dune is certainly a filmable movie.”
On Monday morning, March 4, Gray announced Found Heaven On Tour. The 16-country trek will begin with four Australian dates in July, followed by a North American leg throughout September and October. It will conclude with a short European and UK leg in early November, with the finale set for OVO Arena Wembley in London.

Come with me and you’ll be in a world of pure nightmares.
Last month, the world was equal parts delighted and horrified by “Willy’s Chocolate Experience,” which was billed as “a journey filled with delicious treats, enchanting adventures, and moments worth capturing.” Instead, guests of the Glasgow, Scotland-based event paid over $40 to be shuffled through a warehouse where they encountered sad-looking Oompa Loompas (who read AI-generated scripts) and an original character named The Unknown. You can read all about it here, or maybe wait and see the film.
Bloody Disgusting reports that Willy’s Chocolate Experience breakout The Unknown is the inspiration for an upcoming horror movie, set to be quickly released later this year (so you know it’s good). The film follows “a renowned illustrator and his wife who are haunted by the tragic death of their son, Charlie. Desperate to escape their grief, the couple leave the world behind for the remote Scottish Highlands – where an unknowable evil awaits them.”
The company [Kaledonia Pictures] tells Bloody Disgusting. “We are excited to begin production and look forward to sharing more with you as soon as possible. We are actually only a few miles from the event, so it is quite surreal to see Glasgow all over social media, worldwide.”
Felicia better reprise her role as The Unknown. It’s the only way to make this quick Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey-style cash grab worth it.
Last year, the The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon viewers got slightly worked up by their generally unwashed hero taking a bath, although overall, that show skewed toward asexual (“chaste” seems like the wrong word despite a nun’s apparent interest). And that — let’s get real — is consistent with Norman Reedus’ character despite his talents with a rocket launcher.
“Asexual” definitely is not the vibe for The Ones Who Live, given that this series showcases the long-awaited reunion between Rick Grimes and Michonne. As shown above, viewers have caught glimpses of Rick’s dreams about being able to court Michonne in a “normal” world without walkers and the CRM afoot, ruining all the romance. The series has nabbed incredible ratings thus far, and the same is sure to be reported of this Sunday’s episode, in which Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira prove that they’ve still got that chemistry.
Actually, what transpired is on par with the pair’s first original-series hookup, which ended with Jesus walking in on the butt-naked couple, which was a fun moment in fan reactions when Twitter was still also fun. Well, Twitter got some spice back after watching Rick and Michonne steal an opportunity to make out while the CRM wasn’t looking. Yes, there was moaning involved.
— The Telfar Terrorist #TheOnesWhoLive (@ColtsKatana) March 3, 2024
Can you blame them? These two have some pent-up frustration to work out and can barely find a moment without surveilling eyes ruining their mojo. Of course, people got hot and bothered while watching: “[I]f Rick and Michonne are moaning like this now imagine when they’re actually ALONE ALONE.” And good for them because you gotta find a little joy in this world.
On February 8, Mattel announced Barbie The Movie: In Concert was scheduled for July 27 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California. The show will feature an all-woman, majority women-of-color orchestra The Barbie Land Sinfonietta, led by executive producer and orchestrator Macy Schmidt, accompanying a screening of Barbie.
This morning, March 4, Live Nation and Mattel revealed that the July 27 date is actually just one of 37 dates on a North American summer Barbie The Movie: In Concert tour. As per a press release, “The record-smashing film will be projected onto a giant LED screen above The Barbie Land Sinfonietta as they perform the film’s award-winning score.”
“Music lends so much heart and excitement to the Barbie film; between the stunning and clever orchestral score and the upbeat iconic pop soundtrack, music is carrying us through the story,” Schmidt said in a statement. “On top of getting to experience the film unlike ever before, Barbie The Movie: In Concert audiences will have the privilege of watching some of the world’s best musicians come together and do what they do best.”
Schmidt continued, “Throughout this entire process, I’ve been so inspired by Mattel’s genuine commitment to everything this film stands for. I am particularly excited to be partnering with Mattel as I have long been inspired by Barbie’s purpose statement: ‘To inspire the limitless potential in every girl.’ It couldn’t be more aligned to have an all-women orchestra performing this film, bringing its message to life onstage.”
Citi cardmembers will enjoy a pre-sale beginning on Tuesday, March 5, at 10 a.m. local time. The press release confirmed that “additional pre-sales” will occur ahead of the general public on-sale on Friday, March 8, at 10 a.m. local time.

The Barbie soundtrack is a Warner Music release. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Justin Timberlake is on the comeback trail, announcing his new album Everything I Thought It Was nearly six years after his last full-length release, Man Of The Woods. Time will tell if the time away has returned some of the goodwill he’d lost when that album was misconstrued as a country album thanks to its less-than-stellar marketing, but Timberlake has made one big stride toward getting it back.
Sharing the tracklist today via Spotify’s Twitter account, JT revealed that the album will contain his long-awaited official reunion with *NSYNC, the boy band with whom he started his musical career. While they did appear together in the film Trolls Band Together, which made light of fan wishes for their reunion in its plot about a boy band teaming up to save one of its kidnapped members, “Better Place,” the song they made for the soundtrack, was considered to be a one-off.
Other features on the album include Nigerian afrobeats star Fireboy DML and Houston rapper Tobe Nwigwe. Everything I Thought It Was is due March 15, 2024 via RCA Records. Find more information here.
