You can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but veteran rock stars can show the new age acts what star power is all about: Next year, The Rolling Stones will embark on their first US tour in nearly five years. With the backing of its official sponsor, AARP, the Hackney Diamonds Tour will help to market their latest album to fans.
The 16-city arena tour will stop in multiple major cities, including Houston, Texas, Atlanta, Georgia, Los Angeles, California, and more, so supporters are ready to scrape their dollars together for tickets. As the fan presale is slated to jump-start on Wednesday, November 29 at noon PT, everyone wants to know how much tickets for The Rolling Stones’ Hackney Diamonds Tour will cost.
As of today, the confirmed cost for tickets has not been unveiled. That information will be made available when the general ticket sale begins on Friday, December 1. So, for now, it’s a guessing game. According to Billboard, The Rolling Stones’ 2019 No Filter Tour grossed a whopping $415.6 million across 2,290,871 tickets. That’s an average of $181.42 a ticket on the lower end. But Mattopia reported that pit tickets for the same tour went for $852 per ticket.
Admission costs could mirror this range. If it worked for Bruce Springsteen, supporters will be willing to shell out the big bucks for The Rolling Stones.
The Frozen universe is expanding even more. We already have not one but two sequels on the way, with Frozen 3 expected to be “mind-blowing” and a fourth installment sometime after that. But there are always more things to change in an ever-expanding universe, even if it’s something as minuscule as lyrics.
In Hong Kong Disney’s latest Frozenattraction, the lyrics in “Let It Go” were changed, and director Jennifer Lee spoke to EW about the switch.
During a rendition of “Let It Go,” the lyrics change from “It’s time to see what I can do” to “It’s time to share what I can do” because we have to teach kids about sharing, right? Not really. Lee explained that the lyrics change was more about opening up the world to guests on the ride.
It might seem like changing the lyrics to a now-iconic and often over-played song would be hard, but Lee said it actually wasn’t. “It’s not like there’s an approval process where we’ve got all these rules we can’t break. We just sat down with the songwriters and talked about it,” Lee explained. “You’re just being so experimental with the music and lyrics, and Rob and Kristen just want to tell the story.”
Lee added that they always wanted flexibility with the franchise. “We never want anything with Frozen to be like, don’t touch it, because it’s not what Disney is about. People want to take those characters into their lives, and everyone has their own relationship with those characters. You want to push it, celebrate it, and make it more and more accessible.”
There are a lot of reasons to want to eat out on Thanksgiving. Maybe you’re not going to a Thanksgiving dinner this year, maybe you can’t cook, maybe your entire family would rather go to a restaurant than cram into a cousin’s dining room and eat lukewarm food, or maybe you’re just looking to grab a small bite to eat hours before your set dinner time because your aunt’s new boyfriend doesn’t get out of work until 6 and works a whole hour away so this year Thanksgiving dinner won’t be until 7 pm which now in hindsight explains why she insisted on hosting this year and now we’re all waiting for a man we never met just to eat some damn turkey!
Thanks, Aunt Martha. Thanks a lot.
If you’re in a similar boat and find yourself hungry on Thanksgiving, rolling through a drive-thru or a sit-down chain restaurant might be the play. But before you walk out the door, be sure to hit this list to see if your favorite fast food or restaurant chain is actually open. For the most part, hours will be reduced at a lot of these establishments (though not all) so it’s good practice to call ahead of time but if a chain restaurant you love isn’t on this list, it’s safe to assume it’s completely closed.
Here are the places you’ll be able to grab a bite to eat at this Thanksgiving.
Boston Market — Hours may be reduced but Boston Market will be open on Thanksgiving and is apparently a go-to for many who skip the holiday.
Bucca di Beppo — Bucca di Beppo will be open on Thanksgiving and will be serving a special family-style Thanksgiving meal. The meal is available for dine-in, delivery, or pickup.
Buffalo Wild Wings — A select number of BWW locations will be open on Thanksgiving, so call ahead and see if your local restaurant is one of them.
Burger King — Holiday hours will vary but it’s safe to assume if you’re coming through early in the day, BK is still going to let you have it your way. I didn’t mean for that to rhyme, it’s just the way it came out.
Cracker Barrel — Cracker Barrel locations will be open on Thanksgiving Day and operating under regular hours.
Denny’s — Denny’s will be open but operating under reduced hours. Call your local Denny’s and find out when they’ll be closing.
Domino’s — Domino’s is independently owned so some stores will be closed and some will be open. For a quick answer check the app.
Dunkin’ — Looking to eat some Munchkins and sip on a Pumpkin Spice cold brew instead of dealing with Thanksgiving dinner? Dunkin’ locations will be open though hours will vary. Hit up the Dunkin’ drive-thru early in the day and you should be good.
Fogo de Chão — Craving some steak instead of Thanksgiving Day fixings? All Fogo de Chão locations will be open from 11 AM to 9 PM.
Hooters — Hooters will open late on Thanksgiving (4 PM) and remain open until the typical closing time.
IHOP — Hours vary by location so call ahead of time.
Jack in the Box — Jack in the Box is open on Thanksgiving. Hours may vary by location so call ahead or check that drive-thru line for activity.
Krispy Kreme — All Krispy Kreme locations will be closing at 2 P.M. on Thanksgiving, so if you’re trying to bring a dozen to the dinner, go early!
Macaroni Grill — Macaroni Grill will be open and serving a three-course Thanksgiving meal.
McDonald’s — If you’re craving a Double Cheeseburger and fries you’re in luck because most McDonald’s restaurants nationwide will be open on Thanksgiving day, though hours will vary by location. If you’re rolling through early though, it’s safe to assume your nearest McDonald’s will be open.
Popeyes — Thanksgiving turkey or a Popeyes Chicken Sandwich? Kind of an easy choice, luckily for you Popeyes will be open on Thanksgiving, though hours vary by location.
Red Lobster — Red Lobster will be open but its better to arrive earlier than later as some hours will be reduced.
Sonic Drive-In — Hours will vary by location, but some Sonic restaurants will be open on Thanksgiving.
Starbucks — Most Starbucks stores will be open on Thanksgiving but hours will vary by location. If the drive-thru line is snaking, it’s safe to assume you’re looking at the nearest Starbucks that’s open.
Subway — Subway is a bit of a toss-up. Since many restaurants are locally owned, some will be open, some will be closed. If there is a particular Subway you frequent, call ahead of time.
Taco Bell — Taco Bell will be open but hours will vary depending on the restaurant. Use the app to see if your nearest Taco Bell is operating.
Whataburger — All Whataburger locations are open for 24 hours. This is the prime Thanksgiving spot.
White Castle — White Castle is open for limited hours so if you need to grab a quick bite to eat before Thanksgiving dinner roll up before 3 PM and eat as many sliders as your heart desires.
For decades, the Billboard charts have been the dominant, objective measure of which music releases are commercially performing the best in the United States. Placing high up on those ranks is a big deal, and so is landing a nice spot on the year-end Billboard charts, which account for all chart activity for a given year. (More accurately, the tracking period this year is from November 19, 2022 to October 21, 2023, as Billboard notes.)
Well, the 2023 year-end charts are out now and there are a ton of superlative questions that now have answers, including:
What Is The Top Album Of 2023 On The Billboard Charts?
On the year-end Billboard 200 Albums chart, the No. 1 album is Morgan Wallen’sOne Thing At A Time. The album spent a remarkable 16 weeks at No. 1 on the weekly Billboard 200. Furthermore, the album’s “Last Night” is the No. 1 song on the year-end Hot 100 chart, making Wallen the first artist to lead both year-end charts since Adele did it in 2011, with 21 and “Rolling In The Deep.”
Wallen actually has three albums that made it onto this year’s chart: Dangerous: The Double Album is No. 5 and If I Know Me is No. 34.
Just behind Wallen at No. 2 is Britney Spears (sorry, I mean Taylor Swift) with Midnights. Swift is also the only other artist besides Wallen to have two albums in the top 10, with 2019’s Lover at No. 9. Swift actually has a remarkable nine albums in the top 50 and ten albums on the chart overall: Aside from the aforementioned, they are Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) (No. 11), Folklore (No. 12), 1989 (No. 16), Red (Taylor’s Version) (No. 17), Reputation (No. 21), Evermore (No. 29), Fearless (Taylor’s Version) (No. 43), and Speak Now (No. 115).
Elsewhere in the top 10 of the chart are SZA’s SOS at No. 3, Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss at No. 4, Metro Boomin’s Heroes & Villains at No. 6, Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti at No. 7, Zach Bryan’s American Heartbreak at No. 8, and Travis Scott’s Utopia at No. 10.

Yellowstone surely helped Paramount+ take flight in a huge way. Yes, the original series is only streamable on Peacock for now, but Paramount+ is where the Yellowstone prequels (so far including 1883 and 1923) and vast array of other Taylor Sheridan shows reside in streaming form. Naturally, a well-stocked movie library doesn’t hurt matters, but thus far, the Sheridan shows are the cowboy kings to shine on the platform and even spread to marathons on Comedy Central (also a Paramount property).
As such, Sheridan’s fingerprints will cover even more territory with other Yellowstone offshoots. Those will include 1944 and 2024, along with one that doesn’t match up to a year: 6666. Hmm, or does it? I tend to think that futuristic cowboys might be a bit far-fetched for this franchise, but never say never. That might appeal more than the other theme that the title evokes (some Western exorcism story), but we are being ornery here.
Of course, there’s actually a much better (and real) meaning for this upcoming spinoff’s title. Let’s talk it out along with what else we know about 6666.
Plot
This show has been the subject of speculation since Yellowstone said goodbye to Jimmy (Jefferson White), who departed for the 6666 Ranch in Season 4. What happened next? A lot of drama related to whether or not Kevin Costner would return overshadowed Yellowstone, and a lot of audience focus moved to 1923. The presence of Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren together (again) on TV screens will do that, but 6666 still very much remained an in-development thing while viewers waited to see what else Sheridan had planned.
Of all of the Yellowstone shows, this spinoff seems most destined to be close to Sheridan’s heart and mind. Perhaps that’s because he can, if he so wishes, call the place home in real life. 6666 takes its name from the grounded-in-reality Four Sixes/6666 Ranch (which actually took its name for a head of cattle with the “6666” brand) that Sheridan recently ponied up millions to purchase. 1923 has already filmed some scenes on the expansive swath of land, and Sheridan has been holding his cowboy bootcamps there as well.
Can we expect this show to have a personal touch? Perhaps. Sheridan lives the cowboy life as much as it’s possible to do so for someone who seems to be juggling director duties for half a dozen shows and and screenwriting as well. So, one can probably expect this spinoff to be near and dear to his heart, but the characters will likely fit the Yellowstone mode of being slightly operatic while telling the story of their lives. In any event, it will be a relief for viewers to see Sheridan pick up that Season 4 Yellowstone connection to 6666 and ride home with it.
Here’s the official 6666 synopsis:
Founded when Comanches still ruled West Texas, no ranch in America is more steeped in the history of the West than the 6666. Still operating as it did two centuries before, and encompassing an entire county, the 6666 has inspired a new scripted series where the rule of law and the laws of nature merge in a place where the most dangerous thing one does is the next thing. The 6666 is synonymous with the merciless endeavor to raise the finest horses and livestock in the world, and ultimately where world-class cowboys are born and made.
Cast
A-listers have been flocking to Sheridan’s shows. He’s reeled in Nicole Kidman, Harrison Ford, Sylvester Stallone, Zoe Saldana, Helen Mirren, Jeremy Renner, Donald Sutherland, David Oyelowo, and (yes) Kevin Costner. Matthew McConaughey has officially joined a Yellowstone series, but the general assumption is that he might be leading 2024. What of the 6666 cast, though? In all likelihood, an ensemble cast will be the way to go, and it does seem likely that a few Yellowstone ranch hands, Walker (Ryan Bingham) and Jimmy (Jefferson White), are queued up to get their hands dirty while shooting at the Four Sixes.
Release Date
The writers’ and actors’ strikes slowed everything down (as Taylor Sheridan did acknowledge, but he is a writing machine and famously whipped out the Tulsa King pilot in less than 24 hours, so he can work at warp speed (and generally doesn’t rely on a team of writers) if he so desires. Or if he is so inspired! With that said, Paramount has not publicized an exact 6666 release date, but this spinoff seems to tailor made for an easy transition that it hopefully will not be long.
Trailer
No one is telling yet. In other words, no trailer exists yet, but here’s a reminder of what could be in store at the 6666 Ranch, where this Season 4 clip shows Ross letting Jimmy know the business.
Hold onto your hats and boots for more 6666 updates coming soon.
Homer Simpson’s horrible act of child abuse has been one of The Simpsons‘ most beloved running gags for literally decades. But for a few days last week, it sounded like Bart would no longer have to fear getting strangled by his dad (the macing, however…). That’s no longer the case. Producer James L. Brooks cleared up the confusion, telling People, “Nothing’s getting tamed. Nothing, nothing, nothing… He’ll continue to be strangled — you want to use that awful term for it. He’ll continue to be loved by his father in a specific way.”
Homer has been choking Bart since before The Simpsons even premiered. The first strangulation was in “Family Portrait,” a short that premiered during a 1988 episode of The Tracey Ullman Show. Legendary Simpsons director and animator David Silverman managed to dig up his drawing from way back.
“My first choking drawing — for Family Portrait (MG25) — aired 3/6/1988,” he wrote on X. “Probably drew it mid February 1988. And here’s my latest, drawn a couple weeks ago. It won’t be the last time I draw this…”

With just a couple of days to go until Thanksgiving, Billboard has released its year-end charts (the music industry, much like all those turkeys, pretty much dies with the holidays, so it is usually best not to count the last month of the year, which Mariah Carey rules with an iron fist anyway). Those charts tabulate all the sales and streams up til the second week of November (including, last year’s December stats), then tell us what we’ve listened to the most collectively (like Spotify Wrapped but for the US as a whole).
While country music, pop, and the rap-R&B of SZA dominated as a whole, the top hip-hop track of the year (at No. 5 overall) was Metro Boomin’s take on a mid-2000s classic. “Creepin’” featuring The Weeknd and 21 Savage covers Mario Winans’ 2004 hit “I Don’t Wanna Know,” which itself sampled the Fugees’ 1996 song “Ready or Not,” which in turn sampled Enya’s 1987 song “Boadicea.” Released on January 27 as a single from Metro’s then-latest album Heroes & Villains“Creepin’” peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100 on February 6. It currently has over 1 billion streams on Spotify and 86 million cumulative views on YouTube across its visualizer, official music video, and audio stream (not including the seemingly dozens of bootleg streams).
Of course, if you don’t want to count that as the “top rap song” of 2023 since it only features a rap verse from 21 Savage, the next qualifying track also includes 21 Savage. “Rich Flex,” from Drake and 21’s joint album Her Loss also ranked near the top of the year-end list, coming in at No. 14. Sorry, Pusha T stans and Drake haters (same difference, right?) — it doesn’t look like The Boy has lost his touch just yet.
Other top tracks include “All My Life” by Lil Durk feat. J. Cole, “Just Wanna Rock” by Lil Uzi Vert, and “Fukumean” by Gunna. Also, Ice Spice really did prove to be the reigning princess of rap, appearing no fewer than four times on the list — the most of any female rapper.

In case you missed out on the cinematic event of the year, Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving, then you’re in luck! It’s still out in theaters! If you missed out on Christopher Nolan’s little project Oppenheimer , then you might have to wait a little bit to watch from the comfort of your own home. But it’s coming!
For now, Oppenheimer is only available on VOD. You can purchase the film and over three hours (!!) of extra footage on Vudu. As for streaming, the flick will likely appear on Peacock, NBC Universal’s streaming service. In fact, the streamer is already warming up audiences by highlighting its new Oppenheimer documentary.
It might be a little while until we get to see Cillian Murphy from our home screens. Thanks to his deal with Universal, Nolan’s films get a minimum of 100 days in theaters. Now that it’s no longer showing on the big screen, the movie will exclusively be available on VOD for the time being. On the other hand, producer Emma Thomas recently told the Associated Press the film would be available to watch at home by the end of November, but nothing has been confirmed.
If you’re looking for more Nolan in your noggin, you can stream most of his films on Max, the future home of Barbie.
Today, the Rolling Stones announced their new tour in support of their latest album, Hackney Diamonds. Fittingly, the tour will be sponsored by AARP. Launching on April 28, 2024, at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, the Hackney Diamonds Tour, will crisscross the United States, ending in July in Santa Clara, California at Levi’s Stadium.
