Miley Cyrus Dances Through The ‘End Of The World’ In Her Latest ‘Something Beautiful’ Video

With just under two months until the release of her upcoming ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, Miley Cyrus has shared the dreamy video for its third single, “End Of The World.” In the retro-styled video, Miley continues her recent foray into vintage ’70s aesthetics and sounds, crooning the soft-rock ballad in a green-sequined mini-dress as a drummer keeps time next to her. “Let’s pretend it’s not the end of the world,” she croons on the chorus, which is presented as both a romantic entreaty and an ominous forewarning.

Toward the end of March, Cyrus promised that Something Beautiful would be a “one of a kind pop opera” with “a unique visual experience fueled by fantasy.” She first delivered on the latter with the videos for the first two singles, “Prelude” and the title track. In an interview preceding the announcement of the album, the Tennessee native said the album was “inspired by Pink Floyd’s The Wall. […] My idea was making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.”

She also described the album as “a concept album that’s an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music.”

Something Beautiful is due on 5/30 via Columbia Records. Find more information here.

Could ‘The Walking Dead’ Franchise’s Episode Counts Go Back To Basics? Maybe

twd-dead-city-s2-negan-lucille-lg
AMC

The recent trio of The Walking Dead spin offs (Dead City, Daryl Dixon, and The Ones Who Live) have favored shorter seasons in the six-episode realm. That tightly-honed structure allows series to focus on main characters without getting bogged down by weighty side stories that plagued the flagship show near the end (most seasons were 16 episodes, but the final weighed in at 24), but of course, there has been plenty of speculation that a Daryl and Rick reunion could happen somewhere down the line.

If that reunion does happen on a currently running spin off, there’s every reason to believe that a larger ensemble could launch a longer spin off, and if that happens, universe architect Scott Gimple will be pleased. The Direct recently interviewed Gimple, who was discussing how movie plans have indeed been removed from the equation, but a “longer” season structure is a new-ish possibility:

“I mean, I would just say different formats… They’re always in our minds and you know, is it a six-hour, is it a two-hour, is it a… my dream would be another 16-hour a year series. We’re talking about that. Feature films… probably less likely. But different ways that we do the show, we have to do it and we will.”

If the current AMC shows retain momentum, there’s little reason that this won’t happen. Until we hear otherwise, however, we can look forward to more Dead City on May 4, 2025 and a third Daryl and Carol helping later this year. As for more of The Ones Who Live? That seems unlikely, but more of the Rick and Michonne characters could happen elsewhere. Can the world handle a sixteen-episode season of walker drama again, though? From what Gimple is suggesting, it’s likely.

Dreamville Is Ending, But Raleigh Is Getting A New Festival To Replace It

This weekend sees the fifth and final Dreamville Festival, curated by J. Cole and the Dreamville team. But Raleigh, North Carolina, won’t go long without any viral moments: the Raleigh News & Observer reports that city officials have announced a four-year deal for a new music festival at Dorothea Dix Park.

“We’re going to be here for years to come,” Dreamville and Live Nation festival producer Sascha Stone Guttfreund told the publication. “This is a multi-year deal, and we’re so excited to be working with the city of Raleigh together on something new and exciting, and to continue to build on this incredible thing that we’ve done over the years.”

No specific details were given about the new festival, other than Raleigh City Manager Marchell Adams-David saying that “we’re going to continue on the same path that’s been successful for us. Our consumers have told us what they like, and we’re going to try to provide that to them for the next four years.”

J. Cole has “his hands all over” the new festival, according to Adams-David. “We’re using the Dreamville label to a certain extent, [so] he will obviously be involved. Whether or not he headlines. That’s probably not going to be an occurrence, but he is a local resident. He is totally committed to this community, and he is totally committed to this festival.”

Dreamville Festival 2025 includes headlining sets from J. Cole, Lil Wayne, 21 Savage, Erykah Badu, Ludacris, and GloRilla, among many others, as well as a plethora of free events. You can find more information here.

Blondshell And A Group Of DILFs Star In The New ’23’s A Baby’ Video

At the top of 2025, Blondshell (a.k.a. Sabrina Teitelbaum) announced a new album, If You Asked For A Picture. We’ve gotten a few tastes of it so far, and today (April 3), Teitelbaum has unveiled a new advance single, “23’s A Baby.”

Teitelbaum says of the track, “The song is partially about being in your twenties and feeling like you’re supposed to know everything (your parents even had kids around that age!) yet you’re truly in the weeds trying to figure out who you are. I wanted it to have a bit of a nursery rhyme feel. It’s a heavy subject so it was important to have fun when we made it.”

She also shared a video for the track, which stars a group of DILFS (inspired loosely by the DILFS Of Disneyland Instagram account) just doing dad things with their strollers.

Teitelbaum sings on the song, “You killed me with your bad habits / You killed me when you had it / The hopelessness is always see-through / You know that I still need you / ‘Cause 23’s a baby / Why do you have a baby? / 23’s a baby / Why do you have a baby?”

Teitelbaum previously described the album as “12 songs about searching for love, family and friendship in many right and wrong places.”

Listen to “23’s A Baby” above.

If You Asked For A Picture is out 5/2 via Partisan Records. Find more information here.

WU LYF Share ‘A New Life Is Coming,’ The Group’s First New Song In Over A Decade

It’s been 13 years, but WU LYF have released a new song. “A New Life Is Coming,” a soaring, seemingly standalone track (no word on an album), follows the group’s announcement that they’re going on tour in Europe.

“Something comes from nothing. WU LYF was always better left unspoken, experienced rather than discussed. Words killed it. You just had to feel it,” a statement from the band reads. “Twelve years after the fire burnt out, life had pulled us apart. We all had walked our separate paths trying to escape the shadow cast by the brief spectacle of our youth. Then something broke. Or healed.”

It continues:

“We set up camp in the loft of a friend’s bookshop behind unfamiliar instruments, familiar emotions, and we began to play, tentative at first but with open hearts and minds, seeking new forms unchained from what had been before. Old friends with new scars, trying not to aggravate the wounds of yesterday.

We are all surprised by the big music that still plays itself through us, an unexpected gift after the longest exile, a gleaming fragment of then, magnified by who we are now. Raw and ecstatic, the fire transfigured.

What it will become we do not know.

You do not dig up the seed to see if it grows. You wait. You trust. You know the tree by its fruits. Our hands know what our minds forgot. This is something that was always there, waiting for us to remember. A new life is coming.”

You can listen to “A New Life Is Coming” above.

How Many Episodes Are In ‘MobLand’ Season 1 With Tom Hardy?

mobland-7-lg
Paramount Plus

Tom Hardy seldom misses, and it sure doesn’t hurt that he’s starring in a Guy Ritchie series that also boasts Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, and Paddy Considine. Together in Paramount PlusMobLand, they will bring Ritchie’s latest mobster story to life with Brosnan and Mirren standing at the apex of a crime family and Hardy stepping up as the “fixer.”

It’s a role that he was born to portray, although to be fair, the same thing could be said for most Tom Hardy roles. He will also soon be seen in Netflix’s Havoc on the other side of the law, but we’re here to wonder exactly how much gangster-Hardy we will be seeing in Ritchie’s series that began streaming (weekly) on March 30.

How Many Episodes Are In Tom Hardy’s MobLand Season 1?

10 episodes. And surely, nobody can complain about a “longer” streaming season with a show like this.

Hardy recently told JoBlo about how he was down to participate in Ritchie’s “signature brand,” and he enjoyed the family dynamic of the series, too. As for why he hopped onto the small screen, Hardy doesn’t seem opposed to a 10-episode season, either: “In longform storytelling, there’s more opportunity to develop a character, as opposed to the brief window that we get in a movie.”

Enjoy the MobLand trailer from Paramount Plus below.

The Most Viral Moments From Five Years Of Dreamville Festival

J. Cole Dreamville Festival

In just a couple of days, J. Cole and the Dreamville crew will open the doors to kick off what will be the fifth and final Dreamville Festival. The mostly annual showcase, which missed two years duo to the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and 2021, grew to be a family affair between the Dreamville family, their die-hard fans, and the team’s favorite artists in a given year. Through five festivals over seven years, Dreamville Festival became the destination for the perfect festival experience: great music, great food, great events, and great energy all surrounded by great people who love music just as much as the person standing next to them in the crowd.

Since its inception in 2019, Dreamville Festival has produced many moments that will forever define its legacy. Many of them feature J. Cole in some capacity, but others are from Dreamville signees and artists from outside the Dreamville bubble who understood the assignment for the festival. So, as we prepare to say goodbye to Dreamville’s beloved festival, let’s take a trip through the past and look back at the most viral moments from Dreamville’s five festivals.

J. Cole’s Performs “Love Yourz” As A Nipsey Hussle Tribute (2019)

The second-ever Dreamville Festival was supposed to be a celebratory affair for hip-hop and music altogether, but just days prior, tragedy struck with the tragic death of Nipsey Hussle. At the 2019 Dreamville Festival, Cole performed his 2014 Forest Hills Drive standout “Love Yourz” as tribute to Nipsey. “I gotta take time on stage and acknowledge someone who had a huge impact on the community, on the f*ckin’ world,” he said on stage before performing the record as images and videos of Nipsey shined on a screen behind Cole. It was later revealed that Cole and Nipsey were planning to collaborate at some point in 2019.

DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz Mixtape Celebration With Lil Wayne, Jeezy, And T.I. (2022)

In 2022, DJ Drama and the Dreamville team connected for the surprise D-Day: A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape which spawned the fan-favorite “Stick” and other highlights like J. Cole’s “Heavens EP.” DJ Drama would get to spotlight his Gangsta Grillz mixtape series just days later at the 2022 Dreamville Festival with a setlist that included guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Jeezy, and T.I. for a classic southern rap set. Having Lil Wayne and T.I. on stage at the same time was a big moment as they had beef dating back to 2016 following T.I. taking issue with Wanye’s comments about the Black Lives Matter movement. Despite that, it was no hard feelings onstage between the rappers. “Shout out to the motherf*ckin’ King T.I. you already know what it is,” Weezy said on stage. “That’s my real motherf*ckin’ brother right there. That’s my motherf*ckin’ daughter’s uncle, y’all don’t even understand, man.”

JID’s First Performance Of “Stick” (2022)

Dreamville’s D-Day: A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape produced a massive hit with JID and J. Cole’s “Stick” featuring Kenny Mason and Sheck Wes. Truthfully, Dreamville’s head honcho wasn’t needed for the record, as JID and Kenny Mason bring all the required energy and chaos for this raucous track. Released just days before the 2022 Dreamville Festival, JID delivered his first live performance of the song, and the exchange of energy between the Atlanta rapper and the crowd was incredible. Mosh pits erupted in all corners of the crowd as fans just had to go wild and let loose as the song blared from the stage.

J. Cole And Drake’s Co-Headlining Set (2023)

While J. Cole and Drake’s friendship goes back to the late 2000s, fans didn’t get to see it live heavily in the public eye until 2023. It was highlighted by their “First Person Shooter” collaboration that arrived that fall, but months prior, Drake and Cole put on the show of a lifetime when they co-headlined the final set of the 2023 Dreamville Festival. Drake performed smash hits like “Sicko Mode,” “God’s Plan,” and “Nonstop,” favorites like “Know Yourself,” “Marvin’s Room,” and “Headlines.” They also brought out GloRilla, Lil Wayne, Lil Uzi Vert, and 21 Savage. Cole, on the other hand, brought out his Dreamville labelmates to grace the stage with him and performed records like “G.O.M.D,” “Love Yourz,” “A Lot,” and “No Role Modelz.”

Usher’s Beyoncé April Fool’s Prank (2023)

Dreamville Fest fell on April Fool’s Day in 2023, so it was only right that someone took advantage of the comedic holiday for entertainment purposes, right? Correct! That person would be Usher, who decided to use his headlining set on day one to momentarily trick the crowd into thinking that he brought out Beyoncé as a guest for the night. “Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, put your hands together for the one, the only — Beyoncé,” Usher said before mischievously saying, “April Fools.” The prank got a good laugh from fans in attendance and at home, making for a moment that added to a great set from Usher led by performances of “Lovers And Friends,” “My Boo,” “You Make Me Wanna…”, and “Yeah!”

J. Cole’s Star-Studded Headlining Set With Lil Yachty, Central Cee, Lil Durk, 6lack & More (2024)

The 2024 Dreamville Festival will always be remembered for reasons that have nothing to do with music. We’ll get into that in a second, but first, there was a performance worth remembering from last year’s festival — that being J. Cole’s headlining set. As Dreamville’s lead artist, it’s important that the label’s annual showcase go out with a bang and Cole decided that the way to ensure that in 2024 was by highlighting the many epic collaborations in his career. That’s why he resurfaced collaborations with the likes of Jeremih (“Planez”), 6lack, (“Pretty Little Fears”), Benny the Butcher (“Johnny P’s Caddy”), Lil Yachty (“The Secret Recipe”), Central Cee (“H.Y.B.”), Lil Durk (“All My Life”), and more. Cole’s set was a beautiful presentation of selflessness and one that should’ve been the most memorable moment of the night.

J. Cole’s Apology To Fans And Exit From Potential Kendrick Beef (2024)

J. Cole’s beautifully constructed closing set for the 2024 Dreamville Festival was sidetracked by what many, including myself, thought was an incredibly shocking move. In a moment of honesty, Cole apologized to his fans for his decision to respond to Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That” diss with one of his own — that being “7 Minute Drill.” In a moment of reflection, Cole called the record “the lamest sh*t I did in my f*ckin’ life.” He added, “I pray that God will line me back up on my purpose and on my path.” Cole’s surprise apology to both fans and Kendrick Lamar concluded with a promise to remove “7 Minute Drill” from streaming services (which he fulfilled soon after) and a performance of “Love Yourz” as a reminder of the mindset he aims to keep at all times as a musician.

‘Dexter: Resurrection’: Everything To Know About A Jam-Packed Sequel For TV’s Most Addictive Serial Killer (April 2025 Update)

dexter.jpg
Showtime

Paramount+’s investment in the dark side of humanity is yielding so much more Dexter. The Original Sin spin off has been renewed, and a Trinity Killer prequel series is also in the works. That’s not all, of course. This year, Michael C. Hall will be back in the full flesh (after monologuing for Original Sin and spending a few seconds onscreen) in Dexter: Resurrection, which will follow up on his inexplicable survival of two series finales.

Dude not only sailed directly into a hurricane in Dexter but also instructed Harrison on where to shoot him in New Blood with Showtime chief Gary Levine calling that finale “a profoundly powerful conclusion to our beloved and extraordinary series.” That somehow didn’t stop Dexter Morgan coming back again, so let’s cut through what we can expect for Resurrection‘s liftoff.

Cast

It’s a lot.

Each season in the Dexter franchise generally involves a Big Bad, and the plethora of casting tidbits encourages speculation about who could fill that role for Resurrection‘s first season. This sequel series is unloading an enormous cast full of TV heavy hitters, and everybody is… a suspect.

For example, Peter Dinklage’s role should, at minimum, be connected to whomever is the ultimate new villain. The Game of Thrones star will step into the shoes of “Leon Prater, a billionaire venture capitalist,” who presents himself as “a generous philanthropist, but behind his polished exterior lies dark intrigue.” Please let him be a fancy murderer.

On an equally promising note, Krysten Ritter will portray a recurring character, “Mia Lapierre, a renowned sommelier who may be hiding a serial killer secret.” Ritter was seen filming in NYC with Hall, and David Dastmalchian is also onboard as “Gareth” and posed for a “goth fam” photo with Ritter before being snapped on set with Hall’s Dexter… who is wearing a killer suit? Oh please.

Then Neil Patrick Harris signed on for an undisclosed role (maybe for some Gone Girl vibes? hmm), because the casting drip-drip news keeps happening, Modern Family actor Eric Stonestreet is in, too.

Dexter New Blood Harrison
Showtime

As already mentioned, Michael C. Hall will be back after Patrick Gibson performed as a fine young serial killer in Original Son, where Dex crafted his Code. The series will include multiple other returning characters, including Dexter’s son, Harrison, who returned as a young adult in New Blood and will still be portrayed by Jack Alcott. He, too, has a Dark Passenger although it appears that he blocked that treadmill trauma. If Dexter: Resurrection refuses to follow up on that important moment in franchise history, then it. is. on.

Other sure things include Miami PD’s Angel Batista (David Zayas, after James Martinez picked up the earlier Angel in Original Sin) after he surfaced in New Blood. James Remar is back as Harry Morgan, the late adoptive father to Dexter in either ghost and/or flashback form, but Jennifer Carpenter is not returning as Ghost Deb after haunting Dexter in New Blood, and she told People, “I hope that they’re having a wonderful time.”

And on a “huh?” note, John Lithgow will come back as the Trinity Killer. That doesn’t seem possible, given the whole “hammer”-wielding thing on Dexter’s behalf, but Lithgow admitted, “I just went back to do a day,” and “it turns out he didn’t die after all. I come back sort of as a phantom, as he gradually comes to life on a hospital bed.” Alright.

Plot

Dexter New Blood Finale
Showtime

The show looks to be location hopping with filming taking place in both NYC, where Dex is apparently focused now, and in Miami, where Angel Batista might be brewing up PD plans.

Meanwhile, showrunner Clyde Phillips has done an amazing job (no joke) of revealing virtually nothing about the Dexter: Resurrection plot while being quizzed this month about the Original Sin season finale. We do know, however, that Dexter was saved from bleeding out in the snow by the cold temperature itself, and this sequel series should pick up shortly after Original Sin and take place in present time.

As for logistics? Who knows. Dexter was rushed in for surgery, so presumably, he will manage to weasel his way out of custody and flee to new surroundings. He also will have a rough time getting cozy with law enforcement as he did in New Blood since his cover has been blown. Additionally, New Blood revealed that Yvonne Strahovski’s Hannah had passed away, so that rules out a handy international link for escape, but Dexter always manages to find a new way, like life in Jurassic Park.

One thing is certain, which is that Michael C. Hall remains tickled by how this franchise (which also found new viewers via Netflix) keeps finding new life, and he suggested that Dexter’s appeal could be down to viewers craving a character “who’s taking his own, unique control of his little corner of the world. I think we all have our shadow side that we contend with and Dexter’s is obviously a little weightier than most.” He added, “People enjoy spending time with someone who is doing his best to take responsibility for that side in his sort of outside-the-box way and morally grey way … maybe contending with it in a way that is arguably admirable — even though he’s doing what he’s doing.”

Filming began on January 17, as Hall revealed in a social media video post.

Release Date

Dexter doesn’t have to worry about taking several months of post-production for visual effects, so even though the reboot is still currently shooting, Paramount promised Summer 2025 in the below video with Hall impishly inquiring, “Did you miss me?”

The latest Shondaland production is The Residence, a screwball comedy starring Uzo Aduba as a detective who is tasked with solving a murder at The White House. “The Residence is a different take and spin on the house that we all know — it’s a peek inside a world that we don’t often get to see,” the Orange Is A New Black actress said. “The show begs the question, ‘Who runs the house?’ And the answer is not what we think it is.”

Timothée Chalamet nearly won an Oscar for playing Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. But he won my heart for his answer when I asked him to name his favorite Dylan song. “It changes every day,” he said. “Today, I’ll say ‘Outlaw Blues,’ because, I could be wrong, I’m sure I’m wrong, but it’s been very hard for me to ever find a live version of him doing ‘Outlaw Blues.’ And it’s also, conversely, one of the Dylan tracks from that period that has a crazy kick to it and a crazy energy. And to me, one of the underrated songs of that time period.” You can read the rest of the interview here.

Willa Fitzgerald has been around for a few years (shout out to MTV’s Scream), but she got a long-overdue movie star-making role in last year’s thrilling and disturbing Strange Darling. She’s also the lead in Pulse, Netflix’s first medical drama. Created by Zoe Robyn, it’s about a third-year resident, Dr. Danny Simms (Fitzgerald), who “juggles mounting relationship tensions alongside the high stakes of working in an emergency room in Miami — including the threat of a hurricane.” It’s a nice accompaniment to The Pitt.

Watch it on Netflix

3. Lazarus (Max)

Laufey Finds Freedom In Love With Her New Single ‘Silver Lining’

Icelandic singer-songwriter Laufey impressed with her 2023 album Bewitched (and the subsequent deluxe edition), but now, a new era is here: Today (April 3), she shared a video for a new single, “Silver Lining.”

Laufey says of the song, “‘Silver Lining’ is a love song about being able to set your true personality free when you fall in love. Your inner child comes out and you are emboldened by lust. Even if it takes you to hell, at least you’re with your partner.”

Laufey hasn’t announced a new album, but a press release notes the song is “the first taste of what marks a new Laufey era.”

This comes shortly after Laufey was in the news for a couple different reasons. First, she was part of Zach Braff’s all-star Garden State anniversary concert. Then, a billboard appeared in the California desert, saying, “Still struggling with my name? Visit saylaufey.com to learn.” The website includes a clip of Laufey explaining her name’s pronunciation on The Graham Norton Show. (A press release writes out the pronunciation as “lay-vay.”)
