Despite several nominations, Ted Lasso did score a win at Monday night’s Emmy Awards, which brought out some mean-spirited trolls who apparently relished in watching the feel-good show go home empty-handed. However, if the haters thought their heckling would get under Jason Sudeikis‘ skin, they were sorely mistaken.
The Ted Lasso star and creator is active on Twitter to the point where he definitely saw some of the smug tweets relishing the Apple TV+ show being snubbed. However, instead of responding, Sudeikis simply liked the tweets, which is reportedly his way of sticking to the show’s spirit by responding with kindness. (Also, letting the trolls know that he’s unbothered by their taunts probably doesn’t hurt either.)
As a seasoned Sudeikis social media reporter, I’ve previously written about the celebrity’s unique use of the platform’s “Like” feature. For those who don’t know, the 48-year-old father of two frequently favorites tweets that make him feel good — just like the rest of us — but he’s also quick to embrace the haters, regularly smashing the heart button on harsh criticisms of himself and his show. It’s likely that Sudeikis bravely and boldly acknowledges the negativity to gently troll his trolls.
You can see the troll tweets Sudeikis liked below, and he even took the time to like some of the replies, too. The dude had some time on his hands:
Jackson’s Together Again Tour celebrates many milestones, including the entertainer’s half-century-long career. During the live shows, Jackson will honor the anniversaries of many of her greatest albums (25th of The Velvet Rope, 30th of Janet, and the 35th for Rhythm Nation). With so many iconic records to perform, fans are desperate to get their hands on tickets for the tour.
So, with the Together Again Tour set to launch in March, potential patrons wonder just how much a pair of tickets will set them back.
How Much Are Tickets For Janet Jackson’s 2024 ‘Together Again Tour?’
The official price for the 2024 Together Again Tour list won’t be revealed until the presale on Wednesday, January 17. However, it is safe to assume that tickets could mirror last year’s run. Pulling from Jackson’s concert at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Texas, tickets could range from $39.95 to $499.95. On the past event’s landing page, the cost of tickets (not including VIP packages) is broken into three sections.
At the 16,500-capacity venue, the lowest price point was for the lawn area, which started at $39.95. The next price point range for the middle section was listed between $59.95 and $299.95. The pavilion’s final section (pit), nearest the stage, ran ticket holders between $299.95 and $499.95. Again, these prices haven’t been confirmed but are a starting point.
Janet Jackson’s Together Again Tour 2024 presale will begin on Wednesday, January 17, at 10 a.m. local time. The general sale will follow on Friday, January 19, at 10 a.m. local time. Find more information here.
HBO’s True Detective: Night Country premiered over the weekend while throwing back to the first season‘s supernatural-tinged tone with a whole new look. Following stories in Louisiana, California, and the Ozarks, the newest round of episodes take place near the uppermost point of Alaska. The concept of extended night will be familiar to those who remember a certain horror movie called 30 Days Of Nights, which took place in Barrow, Alaska, which is a whole lot like the fictional settlement of Ennis, which is where Night Country takes place.
The atmosphere of prolonged nightfall adds to the eeriness of this season’s mystery, and the show (like the aforementioned movie) bypasses the how, IRL, this area of Alaska experiences a twilight-like Polar Night, so most of the extended nightfall isn’t actually pitch dark. Theatrically speaking, the darkness works out for the story, and fortunately, showrunner Issa López found an appropriate shooting venue outside of the U.S. The lead detectives portrayed by Jodie Foster and Kali Reis are actually chasing these horrors in Iceland, as López detailed to Deadline:
“I was walking hand in hand with Florian Hoffmeister, the DP, who got a nomination [at the Oscars] when we were shooting for Tár, and he’s just incredible. The challenge of shooting in the eternal darkness and in the ice, he’s a man that could do it, only him. The other one is Daniel Taylor, who did the production design and was able to capture Alaska and make it happen in Iceland. So I felt very, very well guarded there.”
Detective Danvers (Foster) and Navarro (Reis) will keep digging up frozen horrors in the coming weeks, as HBO’s True Detective: Night Country continues to air on Sunday nights.
Phish has announced a new four-day festival called Mondegreen, which will take place at the Woodlands in Dover, Delaware on August 15 to 18. It marks the band’s first new fest in nine years, where the band will perform the entire weekend. There will also be “interactive fan experiences, regional food and drink, art installations,” and more, according to Variety.
Here’s what to know about getting tickets to the new event.
How To Buy Tickets For Phish’s ‘Mondegreen’ Festival In 2024
For Phish’s new Mondegreen festival, fans will have the option of either on-site camping or staying in one of the nearby hotels.
Travel packages for Mondegreen will go on sale this Thursday, January 18 at 11 a.m. ET. This will bundle a hotel stay with a General Admission ticket and roundtrip transportation. It includes one hotel room for either two or four people.
The actual passes to the festival can be purchased the following day, on Friday, January 19 at 11 a.m. ET. General Admission starts at $450 for a four-day festival ticket.
If you are looking to camp on the grounds, Mondegreen offers two packages, one for $750 per person (Glen Close) and one for $1525 (The Full Monde). The total price on the site seems to account for two people in the package deal.
Every week, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated January 20, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.
10. Morgan Wallen — “Last Night”
It’s been quite the past year for Wallen’s “Last Night,” just about exactly at this point: The song was released on January 31, 2023 and it’s still in the Hot 100 top 10.
9. Doja Cat — “Agora Hills”
Doja is the only artist with multiple top-10 songs this week, and that’s thanks in part to “Agora Hills” setting a new personal-best placement at No. 9.
8. Teddy Swims — “Lose Control”
Here’s perhaps the most notable entry on this week’s Hot 100, as “Lose Control” is the first top-10 single for Teddy Swims. It’s his first song to crack the Hot 100 at all, actually. It’s been a steady rise to the region, as the track was originally released in June 2023.
7. Tyla — “Water”
Tyla had a breakout year in 2023 thanks to her hit single and that is clearly continuing into 2024, as “Water” matches its all-time high at No. 7 this week.
6. SZA — “Snooze”
“Snooze” never quite hit No. 1, topping out in the silver-medal spot, but the song has maintained a high chart position following its April 2023 release.
5. Doja Cat — “Paint The Town Red”
Doja said what she said, and she’s been saying it for a while now, as “Paint The Town Red” was released back in August 2023 and it’s still in the top 5 on the Hot 100.
Bryan and Musgraves’ collab continues to dominate various Billboard charts, as it’s currently No. 1 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts for a 20th week and on the Hot Country Songs for a 16th total week.
3. Tate McRae — “Greedy”
“Greedy” previously reached its current chart peak at No. 3, and that’s where McRae’s hit finds itself this week, too.
2. Taylor Swift — “Cruel Summer”
Swift’s “Cruel Summer” previously enjoyed four weeks at No. 1, and while it’s not on top anymore, the 2019 song is still enjoying significant Hot 100 success.
1. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”
This is the third total week at No. 1 for “Lovin On Me,” Harlow’s 2023 hit. This is tied for his longest stay on top of the Hot 100, as “First Class” was previously No. 1 for three weeks in 2022. His Lil Nas X collab “Industry Baby” also reigned for a week in 2021.

Keep in mind, this is all in comparison to the halcyon days of pop culture and box office dominance when Avengers were assembling. Back before previous megastars (Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scar-Jo) left the building, but those days helped to justify Marvel and Disney’s super scale, with numerous stories spread across TV and film and bazillions of dollars committed to the cause. Without that same caliber of results, is Marvel due to tighten their belt?
While the calendar is looking a little light, with the freshly premiered Echo representing the only Marvel project in the first half of this year, that can be chalked up to the impact of the dual strikes that raged on while writers and actors were waiting on a fair deal. The absence of a second season of She-Hulk? It sounds like you can definitely hang that on budgetary issues, at least according to series star Tatiana Maslany, who said a second season is unlikely, telling the NerdIncorrect Twitch channel, “I think we blew our budget, and Disney was like, ‘No thanks.’”
Now, was She-Hulk extra expensive? Yes. Digitizing Maslany to take the form of the show’s title character and general production of the show reportedly cost $25 million per episode. Was it a success? Unfortunately not. Hang an asterisk the size of the moon on its Rotten Tomatoes numbers because of bad-faith review bombing and sexist nonsense (a pox on comic book shows and films that is going to forever limit their actual cultural reach, especially if it limits the vision of executives), but it also didn’t really register as must-see for viewers with unimpressive viewership numbers. Add all this together and the lack of a second season does begrudgingly make sense from a business standpoint. It’s just depressing, partially because the show’s anti-fans will claim victory, but primarily because She-Hulk was a lot of fun.
I loved what Maslany and company were doing and regard it as one of the best shows from 2022. It’s also the first Marvel show to really hold my attention (because I am the kind of fan who was both THERE for everything Marvel pumped out for more than a decade and BURNT OUT on all of it). Comic book shows and movies can be a vessel for rich stories about heroism, sacrifice, and human limits, but they too often lose the thread on joy and fun. She-Hulk was all-over the road narratively with not always the best CG, sure. But it was also unique and it didn’t take itself or its genre too seriously, a major plus in the midst of all the world building and spectacle in the genre.
While the show is probably (this isn’t an official death certificate, just an acknowledgement of what has seemed more and more likely) done, we do hope we get to see Maslanay in the MCU again. A Deadpool 3 cameo, an Avengers pop-in — something. The show didn’t have a big audience, but it had a dedicated one that deserves a nod.
How Marvel (and DC, with its soon to launch rebooted connected universe) choose to combat any diminished excitement in the marketplace is an open question. She-Hulk was a quirky lawyer sitcom that cost as much as a tentpole movie. Hubris should have gotten a producer credit with that in mind. Risks with that kind of price tag probably aren’t a part of the equation as audiences enter a new phase of interest and excitement with these kinds of projects, but that doesn’t mean people don’t want unique things or for Marvel to take risks. That’s probably exactly what people want.
Marvel Spotlight is, it seems, a golden opportunity toward a strategy that embraces variety. “Grounded” stories, like the just launched Echo that aren’t as wrapped up in continuity red tape. With those kinds of guardrails, creators can have a lot of fun. And so long as expectations match cost, so can the audience, for years to come.
There’s a soulful new voice in the Billboard Hot 100 top ten. Teddy Swims might be the newest hitmaker to stake his claim at the top of the charts, but he’s no newcomer. The Warner-signed soul star has been grinding it out for some time as a singer and songwriter, and the recent success of his song “Lose Control,” which reached No. 8 this week, is a testament to both his talent and his nonstop work ethic. So, who is Teddy Swims?
Starting out life in Conyers, Georgia, as Jaten Collin Dimsdale, Teddy first gained popularity as a covers singer on YouTube in the late 2010 (this is how I discovered him), performing songs from the likes of Amy Winehouse, Chris Stapleton, H.E.R. and Michael Jackson and catching a massive wave of support thanks to his distinctive look and incongruously soulful sound (think Post Malone singing Lenny Williams or Jelly Roll doing Teddy Pendergrass). He independently released the single “Night Off” in July 2019, leading to a deal with Warner Records.
Since then, he’s released four EPs — the latest, Sleep Is Exhausting, in 2022 — and dropped his debut album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) last September. He’s also given a slew of well-received television performances on shows like The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Late Late Show with James Corden, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and America’s Got Talent (basically, every talk or music-related show on the air except for SNL, which you kinda have to believe is coming soon).
In January 2022, he also performed on Uproxx’s own The Eye, belting his singles “911” and “Please Turn Green” for the Warner showcase series. Check out his new top-ten hit, “Lose Control,” below.

House fires are devastating for families. In a matter of minutes, you could lose all of your belongings and a place to live, or worse, you could lose loved ones. A family in Phoenix, Arizona, recently found themselves facing the reality of their own home in flames. Claudia Jimenez told CBS News that she woke up trapped in her burning apartment with her two daughters, with nothing to do but yell for help in the hopes that someone would hear her.
The mom’s screams were answered by Joe Hollins, a homeless man who was camping nearby with his wife. Hollins didn’t hesitate to try to find a way to help. With no way out and the fire department still nowhere on the scene, Jimenez had to trust the stranger who was standing below.
“He was right underneath and he was like ‘Yes, throw your daughters out, I’m going to catch them, I’m going to get them,'” Jimenez told CBS.
So the terrified mom did what any mom would’ve done to save her babies—she tossed them one at a time out the window. And just as he’d promised, Hollins caught them. Valerie, who is just a year old, was dropped to safety first, then 8-year-old Natalie made the two-story fall into Hollins’ arms. The family dogs were next out the window before it was time for Jimenez to make the jump.
After some coaxing, the mom made the leap, and Hollins again made the catch, saving everyone in the house. When everything was said and done, Hollins saved the entire family and the dogs. Soon after Jimenez jumped to safety, the fire department showed up to put out the blaze.
Multiple families lost their home that night, but thanks to Hollins, the Jimenez family didn’t lose their lives. In an effort to help Hollins after saving this family, a GiveSendGo was created and people can donate here. A GoFundMe was also created for the young mom and her daughters, and people who would like to help can do so by donating here.
If you ask the hero, he’s no hero at all. He told CBS News that anyone in his shoes would’ve done the same thing. Hollins was in the right place at the right time, and because of his willingness to help, he saved an entire family. You can watch the entire interview below.
It’s quite common for people to fantasize about their wedding day—the ceremony, the bridal party, the dress, the cake—and some people spend months or even years meticulously planning every detail. People even spend thousands of dollars hiring wedding planners to make sure that the big day stays fully organized and all the moving parts come together without a hitch.
But no matter how well you plan, sometimes things that simply can’t be predicted happen. And how you and your beloved handle the hitches and glitches on your wedding day can say a lot.
Especially when that hitch or glitch is something major…like watching the beautiful, four-tier wedding cake—the one you spent time choosing and lots of money creating to share with your wedding guests—come crashing to the ground right in front of you.
That’s what happened to one couple who eagerly watched as the caterers who were carrying their wedding cake tripped on their way into the room, sending their cake to an untimely demise in spectacular fashion.
The video, shared by @the.sarik on Instagram, is only about 10 seconds long, but it tells a whole beautiful love story in the reactions of both the groom and the bride.
First of all, hope those waiters are OK. But secondly, staying calm and making the most of a bad situation is a huge character plus, and this groom clearly has those qualities in spades. You can see in the bride’s face that she knows it, too.
“Her eyes show that she knows she got the right guy,” wrote one commenter.
“The way he just called her to eat is just phenomenal,” shared another.
“‘Cake is still cake.’ Yelling at those waiters won’t solve anything, but it can ruin their whole lives,” wrote another. “They know their mistake, and they can be corrected privately. May the reaction of this man be an inspiration to us all, to care for the feelings of other people more than material things.”
“Of all the things that could ruin a wedding day, I’m glad the husband knew this didn’t have to be one of them,” shared another.
When unpredictable things do happen, it’s largely the reaction of the people involved that determines whether they become tragic tales or entertaining stories. If what we saw in the video is any indicator, this couple will be telling their grandkids someday about how the guys carrying their wedding cake tripped and ruined it, and how Grandpa’s response won Grandma’s heart all over again.
