Yesterday (February 14), most of the lovers were out enjoying Valentine’s Day. For the those with no plans, the SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert offered a night filled with hilarious moments.
Dozens of Saturday Night Live‘s beloved alum took to Radio City Music Hall’s stage to celebrate the late night staple’s historic anniversary. However, one of the most memorial moments turned out to be a crossover between a prior music guest and a comedian favorite. When Andy Samberg took to the joined Lady Gaga on stage no one knew what to expect. So, their performance of “D*ck In A Box” (viewable here), not only earned an electric response from within the venue but viewers at home.
Although Justin Timberlake was the original pop star featured in the SNL bit, Lady Gaga had no problem stepping in to belt out the not safe for work lyrics. Supporters across X (formerly Twitter) are raving about the duet.
As Marty Culp (Ferrell) and Bobbi Mohan-Culp (Gasteyer) the actors made the sold out crowd erupt into laughter. User online were equally tickled by their creative take on the stinging hit track.
“Didn’t know ‘Not Like Us’ had legs like this. At this rate it’ll still be playing next Christmas (2026) ,” wrote one user.
“I didn’t know how much I wanted to see this until it came true before my eyes,” penned another.
From time to time, Taylor Swift lets her comedic chops shine. The “Fortnight” singer loves also loves to let loose (regardless of an event’s formality). However, a new viral rumor suggests Taylor Swift’s sense of humor has limits.
Michaels claimed when the SNL crew was crafting a sketch poking fun at Swift’s “1989-era squad days,” he decided to give her the heads-up. As the two chatted about the sketch, Michael invited Swift to even appear in the comedic bit. But, Swift quickly “decline the offer and ask him to cut the bit entirely.”
Still, Swift’s disapproval didn’t stop Michaels from moving forward. “Taylor, I do not negotiate with terrorists,” he joked.
The “Bad Blood” video spoof starring Amy Schumer was well-received by SNL viewers as well as Swift’s super fans (the Swifties).
Eventually, Swift was able to find the humor in the sketch. Michaels says he even received a bouquet of flowers from the singer. Attached to the flower arrange was a note supposedly from Swift, which read: “I hope there’s no bad blood.”
“Plaintiff Jane Doe, by and through her undersigned counsel, hereby gives notice that the above-captioned Action is voluntarily dismissed with prejudice,” reads the document. “Counsel for Plaintiff have discussed this matter with counsel for each Defendant, who acknowledge and consent to this submission.”
Back in December, attorney Tony Buzbee came forth on behalf of his Jane Doe client claiming the hip-hop titans assaulted her when she was 13-years-old. Shortly after the accusation, Jay-Z released a statement vehemently denying the claims. “These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one,” he wrote. “Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?”
At this time, Jay-Z nor Diddy have not publicly addressed the civil case being voluntarily dropped. In addition, Tony Buzbee has not issued a statement discussing the reason his client no longer wishes to pursue this matter.
Powerhouse producing duo Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are used to causing a ruckus, including for studios. Remember The Interview? Rogen will never forget when he heard about President Obama addressing the North Korea-angering movie by trolling North Korea. Such studio scramblings might be part of the reason why Rogen and Goldberg envisioned The Studio for Apple TV+, which also stars Rogen in between seasons of his other Apple TV+ series, Platonic. Let’s not waste any more time in gathering hints on what to expect from this scathing comedy series.
Plot
As with The Boys (an ongoing heavy hitter from Rogen and Goldberg’s producing portfolio), expect biting comedy and a satiric takedown from within this movie’s subject matter. Rogen will portray Continental Studios chief Matt Remick, who is his own worst cinematic enemy. He ruins movies (because he loves them, and he loves zombie diarrhea, too) like a certain executive that Rogen and Goldberg encountered early in their Hollywood lives.
As Rogen told Indiewire, this executive was giving them “terrible notes,” and then he “looked up at us and was like, ‘You know, I got into this job because I love movies and now it’s my job to ruin them.’” Rogen did admit, “I am very worried that real-life people will recognize themselves in the show,” but those given a heads up on this subject “are mostly flattered.”
The first season will include a Bryan Cranston character inspired by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav’s eccentric suit choices. Here’s a peek:
Apple TV+
Rogen revealed that Cranston’s original attire was planned as a “blue suit kind of” dude, but “then I had met with David Zaslav and he was in like a suede cowboy jacket with big flashy glasses with gold on them,” and the rest is TV history. Also, “As crazy as Bryan is on the show, he very much fits into the realm of what these guys are actually like, for better or worse.”
Apple TV+ has provided a series synopsis:
Seth Rogen stars as Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of embattled Continental Studios. As movies struggle to stay alive and relevant, Matt and his core team of infighting executives battle their insecurities as they wrangle narcissistic artists and craven corporate overlords in the ever-elusive pursuit of making great films. With their power suits masking their never-ending sense of panic, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting and award show presents them with an opportunity for glittering success or career-ending catastrophe. As someone who eats, sleeps and breathes movies, it’s the job Matt’s been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him.
Trailer
This teaser takes the form of a fake trailer for Duhpocalypse, which is a zombie survival movie starring Johnny Knoxville and Josh Hutcherson. The latter gets a shot of zombie diarrhea to the face, and the former then puts him out of his misery: “We all gotta die sooner or later, buddy.” Indeed.
From there, studio execs agonize over the trailer being banned, and Rogen’s studio head insists that the liquified poop is essential to the project’s artistic vision, so it’s going nowhere.
Cast
Apple TV+
Seth Rogen is officially the running the joint as Matt Remick. He will be accompanied by Rebecca Hall, Olivia Wilde, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, Kathryn Hahn, Catherine O’Hara, and Brian Cranston.
How has the South Park subreddit been passing the time during the long wait between seasons 26 and 27? Well, the top post from the past year reads in part, “100 hours well spent,” and it shows stained glass versions of the anime-style depictions of Cartman, Kyle, Stan, and Kenny from the classic season 8 episode “Good Times With Weapons.” It’s really cool! But I think I speak for all South Park fans when I say this: we’re ready for new episodes.
Here’s everything we know about season 27 of Comedy Central’s South Park.
Plot
Here’s a few things we know about South Park season 27:
1. It won’t be the final season.
During a conversation with Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw last year, South Park co-creator Matt Stone said, “We don’t have an end in sight… I will say, honestly, it’s because it is still such an awesome sandbox. You know, we are working on a movie right now, a live-action movie, and when we get back to South Park, it is going to be like, ‘Oh, right, here we go.’ I cannot wait to hang out with those characters again, to be cheesy about it, but we love doing South Park.”
2. There will be no more Trump jokes.
“We’ve tried to do South Park through four or five presidential elections, and it is such a hard thing to — it’s such a mind scramble, and it seems like it takes outsized importance,” Stone told Vanity Fair. “Obviously, it’s f*cking important, but it kind of takes over everything and we just have less fun.” Co-creator Trey Parker added, “I don’t know what more we could possibly say about Trump.”
3. Blame Canada, I mean, Kendrick Lamar
Last year was the only second time since South Park premiered in 1997 that an entire calendar year went by without a new episode (“The End of Obesity” doesn’t count, as it was special). Why was that? It has to do with the movie that Stone mentioned earlier. “We are working on a movie. We are doing a movie with Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free and their company [pgLang],” he said. “And we are working on it, and it will hopefully come out July 4th weekend, opposite Jurassic Park which is pretty funny.” Stone said that Lamar is “very involved, and Dave Free is very, very involved. Every day they are working on it. But that is what we are doing, and then we will do South Park.”
Cast
If you’re reading a post about season 27 of South Park (hi!), chances are high that you know Trey Parker and Matt Stone voice nearly every character on the show. But there a few exceptions, including Mona Marshall, April Stewart, and Kimberly Brooks as most of the ladies, and Adrien Beard as Token.
Release Date
In that interview with Bloomberg, Stone shared that South Park is “coming back with one episode” near the beginning of this year, presumably a new special, “and a bunch more in the second half of 2025.” No dates have been confirmed by Comedy Central or Paramount yet, though.
Trailer
There’s no season 27 trailer, but here’s a fun bit of trivia for you: the most-watched video on the official South Park Studios YouTube channel is “The Boys Pee On Their Teacher” from season 8’s “Preschool.” Sure, why not!
After a week of action, Unrivaled’s 1-on-1 Tournament came to a close on Friday night, as the semifinals and finals took place in Miami to crown a champion — who would walk away with $200,000.
The final four were Napheesa Collier, Azura Stevens, Arike Ogunbowale, and Aaliyah Edwards, with both Collier (over Stevens) and Edwards (over Ogunbowale) winning their semifinal matchups 11-2 to reach the Best-of-3 Finals. The two traded wins in the first two games to 8, with Edwards winning the opener 9-6 and then Collier evening things up with a 9-4 win to setting up a winner-take-all Game 3.
There, Collier continued to roll as the reigning WNBA DPOY (and MVP runner-up) asserted her will to the tune of an 8-0 win over the young Edwards, fittingly on a turnaround fadeaway from the middle of the floor — a shot she leaned on throughout the tournament on her way to the win.
With that win, Collier earned the crown as the Queen of Unrivaled’s 1-on-1 tournament and lifted the $200,000 check. Collier’s Lunar Owls teammates all took home $10,000 a piece with the win as well, while Edwards won $50,000 for coming in second and Ogunbowale and Stevens took home $25,000 each for making the semis.
While Edwards didn’t win, her performance over the course of the week in which she took down a pair of top seeds in Breanna Stewart and Ogunbowale and pushed another in Collier all the way in the Finals was quite the statement. She had a solid rookie year but was pretty far out of the spotlight in Washington where she wasn’t really a focal point for the Mystics last year, but she showed she has the skills to compete with the absolute best in the WNBA — and the Mystics should perhaps look to feature her diverse on-ball offensive game that she showed in this tournament a bit more.
Reacher as a Prime Video/Amazon series brings us a more physically accurate rendition of Lee Child’s wandering hero than the Tom Cruise movies did. At least, Alan Ritchson comes close enough at 6’3″ to the 6’5″ hulking ex-military cop with “hands like dinner plates.” Yet in the third season, based upon the Persuader novel, the undercover Reacher and his guns look positively average compared to his biggest (size-wise) foe ever, Paulie.
Amazon previewed a few punches to come, and in a new teaser, Paulie attempts to get Reacher’s number on how much he can bench press, and the Big Guy doesn’t know and doesn’t care: “Because it’s stupid.” That turns into Reacher quickly outsmarting Paulie (who deftly punches himself), which is only the beginning of their mutual grumbling toward each other.
Exactly how massive is the Bigger Guy? Persuader features Reacher’s observation that Paulie looks “like a cartoon.” He is about 200 pounds heavier and at least half a foot taller than Reacher:
“I have to center myself quite carefully to walk through a standard thirty-inch doorway. This guy was at least six inches taller than me and probably ten inches wider across the shoulders. He probably outweighed me by two hundred pounds. Maybe by more. I got that core shudder I get when I’m next to a guy big enough to make me feel small. The world seems to tilt a little … He must have been gobbling steroids like candy for years.”
One of the more charmingly silly qualities of Reacher is that we’re supposed to believe that his physique withstands potato chips, pork rinds, and pie as often as possible. Alan Ritchson, on the other hand, has to work like hell, eat clean, and ingest 4,500 calories daily to stay jacked. Meanwhile, the man who portray’s Paulie, Oliver “The Dutch Giant” Ritchers, is 7’2″ in reality and has been named the world’s tallest pro bodybuilder by Guinness World Records. Perspective is probably everything when lining up comparison shots of Reacher and Paulie, but the dude is undeniably a giant.
Prime Video/Amazon
Unsurprisingly, Ritchers maintains his voluminous physique with even more food than Alan Ritchson does. He recently told Empire that he ate 7,000 calories per day to prepare for the Paulie-Reacher showdown. And he previously claimed to Men’s Health that he’s so good at eating that he can swallow 1000 calories (including 70 grams of protein) in 3 minutes. Yikes.
Euphoria is back. Well, almost: After several delays, the hit series has officially begun shooting its long-awaited third season.
With the cameras rolling, reports of the show’s cast switch-ups and additions are circling online. Today (February 14), a list of the newest actors joining the roster was revealed. According Deadline, Rosalía is among the newest faces. Although this would not mark the “Tuya” singer’s debut onscreen role (having appeared in 2019’s Pain And Glory), fans are excited nonetheless.
In fact, Rosalía supporters hope she and ex-girlfriend Hunter Schafer appear in a scene or two. Others set to appears in season 3 include Marshawn Lynch, Kadeem Hardison, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Priscilla Delgado, James Landry Hébert, and Anna Van Patten.
Schafer, Zendaya, Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Colman Domingo, Chloe Cherry, and Martha Kelly are set to return. Sadly, at this time, past cast members Barbie Ferreira, Storm Reid, Nika King, Algee Smith, and Dominic Fike are reportedly not returning to Sam Levinson’s breakout hit.
It is important to keep in mind that the influx of Euphoria news does not mean the show will come back this calendar year. At the earliest Euphoria will not return to your TVs until 2026 at the earliest.
It’s been five years since Haim’s last album, Women In Music Pt. III. Since then, Danielle talked about drunk-texting Bono and sang with Bruce Hornsby; Alana starred in Paul Thomas Anderson’s excellent Licorice Pizza; and Este called Taylor Swift’s Midnights the “album of the century.” The group also toured with Swift on The Eras Tour and visited Sesame Street. Yet: no album!
That might be changing soon, however.
There’s only one post on Haim’s official Instagram account, and it’s all photos from Danielle’s star-studded birthday party on Thursday, February 13. There’s a lot of smooching. The caption reads, “(ha)i’m single.. haim single?”
Earlier that day, each of the Haim sisters also shared coordinated photos on Instagram. Danielle is wearing a shirt that says “I’m single,” while Alana’s reads, “I’m ???” Finally, there’s Este with her “I’m taken” shirt (she wore a bracelet reading the same thing at Danielle’s party).
Either she’s engaged, or Haim is up to something (they’ve clearly been spending time with Taylor Swift with all these Easter eggs). It’s good news either way!
In other good news, Alana has two more roles lined up: she’s in PTA’s new movie, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, and Teyana Taylor, as well as Kelly Reichardt’s The Mastermind with John Magaro and Josh O’Connor.
