Taylor Sheridan is back with an all-new series that returns the Yellowstone creator to the Old West. Based on the real-life U.S. Deputy Marshal of the same name, Lawmen: Bass Reeves stars David Oyelowo as the title character as he delivers frontier justice during a bleak time in American history. Yellowstone fans can also expect gritty drama and tough-as-nails characters, who have become a trademark for Sheridan as he continues to deliver one powerhouse series after another.
Below you’ll find everything we know so far about Lawmen: Bass Reeves ahead of its release on Paramount+.

In 2022, Sydney Sweeney asked the internet to chill the heck out over photos of her mom’s 60th birthday, including one guest wearing a “Blues Live Matter” shirt. There were also partygoers donning MAGA-style “Make Sixty Great Again” hats. “You guys this is wild. An innocent celebration for my moms milestone 60th birthday has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention. Please stop making assumptions. Much love to everyone and Happy Birthday Mom!” she tweeted at the time.
The Euphoria actress further discussed the uproar in an interview with Variety.
“There were so many misinterpretations,” she said. “The people in the pictures weren’t even my family. The people who brought the things that people were upset about were actually my mom’s friends from L.A. who have kids that are walking outside in the Pride parade, and they thought it would be funny to wear because they were coming to Idaho.”
Sweeney continued, “People are so fast to build someone up, and then they love tearing them down. And it’s so fascinating to see.”
Speaking of fascinations, the actress commented on the messy drama with her Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell. “It’s a rom-com. That’s what people want! Glen and I don’t really care,” she said, adding, “It’s fun to give it to ’em.”
Tove Lo is gearing up to drop the extended version of her 2022 album, Dirt Femme, later this week. With several new songs, the pop star is also giving fans another preview into it with her latest release, “Elevator Eyes.”
Having already performed it on stage a few times, those who have seen the Swedish musician aren’t strangers to the lyrics — which detail a hookup.
“I’m on vacation / No obligations / But maybe we’ll fall in love / Let the stars be our audience,” she details, as the title focuses on the connection between the two free spirits.
The music video is just as hypnotizing, as Tove watches men working out while wearing various glamorous outfits.
Earlier this year, Tove Lo has also dropped “I Like U” and “Borderline,” which will appear among the added songs to Dirt Femme. There will also be an extended version of “No One Dies From Love” and some other remixes that will close out the longer version of the album, according to Genius.
“A lot of the songs play into my relationship with my femininity, how it’s helped me and hurt me, and how I used to not really feel as proud of my feminine traits as I do now,” Tove previously told NME about the inspiration behind the record.
Listen to “Elevator Eyes” above.

Kim Kardashian is getting roasted in the replies after the fashionista promoted a super expensive “full-body scan” on Instagram. While wearing scrubs, the upcoming American Horror Story star touted the benefits of the pricey process and swore that her endorsement is “not an ad.”
“I recently did this @prenuvo scan and had to tell you all about this life saving machine,” Kardashian posted. “The Prenuvo full-body scan has the ability to detect cancer and diseases such as aneurysms in its earliest stages, before symptoms arise. It was like getting a MRI for an hour with no radiation. It has really saved some of my friends lives and I just wanted to share #NotAnAd.”
The reality star’s followers were not thrilled and proceeded to light her up in the comments.
“Bragging about getting preventative cancer screenings in a time when people can’t afford medications from their pharmacy isn’t it Kim,” read one of the comments.
“If only it was affordable and accessible to the average person,” another user posted. “As usual you’re disconnected from the average Americans realities.”
“Love a billionaire recommending preventative care that is totally inaccessible to 98% of your fan base, total vibe,” said another commenter.
A more blunt user replied, “Kim we can’t afford eggs.”
Meanwhile, actual nurses were not thrilled to see Kardashian cosplaying as a medical professional, especially while pushing the procedure in a tone-deaf way.
“Take your scrubs off!” one user wrote. “You don’t even have a right to have them on coming from a nurse. This is appalling.”
Back in January, rapper Lil Yachty released his album Let’s Start Here. Let’s Start Here marked a shift in artistic direction for Yachty, as he tapped into more rock-and-psychedelic-influenced sounds. But today (August 9), Yachty has shared a new single, “Solo Steppin Crete Boy,” which seems to mark a return to his melodic rap sounds.
On “Solo Steppin Crete Boy,” Yachty delivers rapid-fire bars over a smooth, downtempo beat.
“Anywhere, everywhere, he don’t give a damn / Empty the clip, reload the clip, we call it sleight of hand / My memory bad, so I’m f*ckin’ baby on cam’ / Bottega coat, I copped, R.I.P to couple M’s,” he raps.
In the song’s accompanying visual, Yachty is wrapped up in an American flag and later seen vibing outside of a Buddhist monastery.
This summer has been quite eventful for Lil Yachty. Over the summer, he met singer Pinkpantheress, who thanked him for supporting her from the beginning of her music career. He also performed his viral hit, “Poland” six times in a row, in Poland.
Currently, Yachty is gearing up for his Field Trip Tour, which kicks off next month.
In the meantime, you can see the “Solo Steppin’ Crete Boy” video above.
It seems Offset’s legal battle with his formal label, Quality Control Music, has come to a close after he decided to drop the lawsuit and reached a settlement with them, according to TMZ.
The rapper had first filed to sue the company in August of 2022, citing that the label was allegedly trying to control his rights to own and the ability to make more solo music outside of Migos and not honoring their past agreements. Specifically, he referred to a deal made in January 2021 that was negotiated, then ignored.
“Not only are the accusations in this lawsuit false, they are totally detached from reality,” Quality Control released in a statement previously. “Offset remains a part of QC. Back to business.”
Earlier this year, the label’s owners also claimed that Offset’s solo music was owned by them and past agreements were invalidated because he spoke out about it online, according to HipHopDX.
But Offset’s lawyer has pushed against this, claiming, “Quality Control no longer owns the copyright to Offset’s solo sound recordings and is no longer licensing Offset’s solo sound recordings to Capitol, and Capitol has acquired ownership of Offset’s solo sound recordings directly from Offset.”
Because of this, although the lawsuit between Offset and Quality Control has been settled, he will not be releasing his future solo music through them.
Megan Fox leads an eventful life these days. You can find her, at any given moment, hanging out in a bikini atop a tree limb or following Eminem on Instagram while on a break from Machine Gun Kelly. She and MKG actually do seem to be in an “alright” phase at the moment, at least judging from the Instagram comments of the Expend4bles star‘s latest post.
MGK did give some face time to that post, which reveals that she penned a book of poetry called Pretty Boys Are Poisonous with a November release date. On Instagram, Fox alluded to how these poems helped her deal with the fallout of holding onto “secrets of men” throughout her life:
“These poems were written in an attempt to excise the illness that had taken root in me because of my silence. I’ve spent my entire life keeping the secrets of men, my body aches from carrying the weight of their sins. My freedom lives in these pages, and I hope that my words can inspire others to take back their happiness and their identity by using their voice to illuminate what’s been buried, but not forgotten, in the darkness.”
The book arrives with this provocative, snakey cover:
One wonders if Megan is simply referring to the “weight of their sins” within her romantic relationships, or if this will dive into any professional dustups that she’s had over the years. She was, of course, wed to Brian Austin Green for over a decade, and her current relationship with MTG seems tumultuous at times. Whatever the case, he doesn’t seem worried, given that he left a “proud of you” comment on Instagram.
Additionally, Fox’s book promises to (via CNN) “show fans her wicked humor through a heartbreaking and dark collection of poetry. Over the course of 80+ poems Fox chronicles all the ways in which we fit ourselves into the shape of the ones we love, even if it means losing ourselves in the process.”
Pretty Boys Are Poisonous will arrive in book stores on November 7.
The new trailer for The Continental offers the deepest dive yet into the John Wick prequel series headed to Peacock. Set in the 1970s, the three-part event centers on the early years of Ian McShane’s character from the films, Winston Scott (played by Colin Woodell), as he finds himself in hot water with Mel Gibson‘s Cormac, who makes his first appearance in the trailer.
Cormac controls the titular Continental hotel and all the power that wields. However, that power has been threatened by Winston’s brother, who stole something very valuable from Cormac that he expects Winston to retrieve. Instead, the two are locked into a deadly war that, judging by the trailer, will have no shortage of brutal assassin brawls that fans of the John Wick films have come to expect.
Here’s the official synopsis:
The three-part event will explore the origin behind the iconic hotel-for-assassins centerpiece of the John Wick universe through the eyes and actions of a young Winston Scott, as he’s dragged into the Hell-scape of 1970’s New York City to face a past he thought he’d left behind. Winston charts a deadly course through the hotel’s mysterious underworld in a harrowing attempt to seize the hotel where he will eventually take his future throne.
The Continental: From the World of John Wick premieres September 22 on Peacock.
Josh Hart was among the most impactful in-season acquisitions by any team last season, as the Knicks dealt Cam Reddish to Portland for the former Villanova star, who became a key rotation piece as New York reached the second round of the playoffs.
Hart’s two-way abilities on the wing were on display for the Knicks, as he provided defensive versatility on guards and wings, while being an excellent rebounder and off-ball cutter and shooter (albeit a reluctant one) on offense in his 25 games in New York. In the postseason, Hart averaged 10.4 points and 7.4 rebounds per game in New York’s 11 contests, proving his game more than translates to the playoffs. After deciding to pick up his player option for the 2023-24 campaign, all signs pointed to Hart and New York agreeing to a contract extension that would keep him around in the long-term.
That ended up finally happening on Wednesday, the first day that Hart was eligible to agree to a new deal with the Knicks. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Hart put pen to paper on a 4-year extension worth $81 million that will run through 2027-28.
New York Knicks G Josh Hart is finalizing a four-year, $81 million contract extension, Aaron Mintz, Dave Spahn and Steven Heumann of @CAA_Basketball tell ESPN. Deal delivers Hart a total of $94M through 2027-2028 season. pic.twitter.com/PNlhKWka4g
It was notable that Hart was the only Team USA player who did not participate in their exhibition earlier this week against the Puerto Rico, but as Wojnarowski noted, the expectation is he’ll be a full go once everything is sorted out.
Sides are working thru the final details today, and once fully complete, Hart will continue his participation with Team USA on its way to the FIBA World Cup. https://t.co/qJMvhmP8CY
The last few summers have been quite busy for the Knicks when it comes to locking up talent from Villanova. Last year, the team agreed to a deal with Jalen Brunson, and this time around, New York extended Hart and signed Donte DiVincenzo in free agency.
While we can’t speak for the rest of the world, it seems like the United States is figuratively drenched in beer. What we mean is there are more than 9,000 breweries currently operating all over the country from Palo Alto to Portland (Maine). With this type of saturation, it should come as no surprise that not all of them are worth your time. But luckily there are a lot of breweries that are. And we aren’t just talking about the giant, famous, and award-winning breweries either.
In that massive number, there are countless underrated breweries that don’t get the praise some of their counterparts receive. These high-quality bastions of brewing fly under the radar. We think that absolutely stinks, so we decided to do something about it. We’re going to find them and let you in on their brewing majesty.
But we couldn’t do it alone. To find these underappreciated breweries, we reached out to craft beer experts again for some advice. We asked them to tell us their picks for the most underrated breweries in America. Take some notes, because if the folks who spend their days brewing beer think these breweries are underrated, you should definitely seek them out immediately.

Farm Club in Traverse City, Michigan is a great small brewery from my hometown. Being that far up in Northern Michigan you don’t hear enough about them, but they consistently put out solid unpretentious beers that you can enjoy around their outdoor fire pit. The beautiful scenery of the area also doesn’t hurt the situation.
What To Drink:
Known for its lagers, IPAs, and rustic farmhouse ales (hence the name), we suggest starting with its flagship Farm Club Farmhouse Ale. This 5% ABV Bière de Garde is known for its slightly funky, bready, fruity, very refreshing flavor.
Moonlight Brewing in my town of Santa Rosa is a must-visit if you are in the area. I am not so sure this brewery is underrated but more so under-known. Those of us in the know all value it for the great, interesting, and diverse beer they are putting out. While most come for some of the more well-known breweries, no one has ever been disappointed after visiting Moonlight. From crisp pilsners to delicious dark lagers to beers flavored with local redwood tips, you will find something for everyone (even hopheads).
What To Drink:
Death & Taxes is a San Francisco-style black lager that’s equal parts bold and robust and light and refreshing.
The Wailuku Brew Works in Keaau, Hawai’i is only underrated because it just opened. Situated in the Shipman Industrial Park between Hilo and “Downtown” Keaau, they may lack the view factor that some of Hawai’i’s other destinations have. But what they lack in an exterior view they make up for with a beautiful little taproom, and their beers are delicious and inventive. Despite being only a few months old they have a wide range of beers from traditional to hazy fruited to sour and even some mead. There are a few non-alcoholic sodas in the lineup to come. If you are on the Big Island of Hawai’i, don’t miss this still pretty unknown gem.
What To Drink:
Niu Nui Porter is a rich, dark, robust taste of Hawaii in beer form. It’s known for its creamy mouthfeel, rich dark chocolate, coffee, and sweet coconut flavors. Why wouldn’t you want to drink a sweet and malty porter in a tropical paradise?
An underrated brewery that beer drinkers should visit is Zero Gravity in Vermont. I think a lot of people talk about Vermont beer and use it to refer to two or three brewers. I think Zero Gravity is a wonderful example of quality and variety that comes out of Vermont but isn’t talked about enough.
What To Drink:
No trip to Vermont’s Zero Gravity is complete without a pint of two of its flagship Conehead IPA. Brewed with Citra hops, pilsner malts, and American wheat. It’s a hazy, juicy, hoppy, piney, citrus bomb that you won’t soon forget.
Berkley Beer in Taunton, Massachusetts. They brew excellent beers and are fairly under the radar. The most exciting things about this place are the people and the care they put into the beers, the food, and, most importantly, the experience. There are always 8-10 beers on draft and several gluten-free options too with their impressionable fruited hard teas. Enjoy their expansive taproom or lounge on their patio with couches and comfortable seating.
What To Drink:
Berkley has a few great IPAs worth checking out. Why not get really wild with it and try its 8% ABV double IPA called Hog Oiler? It’s known for its tropical fruit, pine, and citrus-driven palate.
American Solera in Tulsa, Oklahoma has got it all going for them. They produce exceptional beers that are not only well-executed but also packed with fun and uniqueness. Their brewery and taproom are simply amazing, perfectly matching their fun-loving attitude. However, what sets them apart the most is their outstanding staff, who I can confidently say are some of the best people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with throughout the years. I can’t praise their beers, atmosphere, and people enough. They are a fantastic company, and I’ll happily go out of my way just to visit them and their brewery.
What To Drink:
American Solera is the type of brewery where you can order anything at random and you’ll be pretty happy with the result. To start, though, we suggest its flagship Solero. This 5% pilsner is crisp, refreshing, and totally well-balanced.
G5 Brewing – Beloit, Wisconsin
G5 Brewing
Garth Beyer, Certified Cicerone and owner of Garth’s Brew Bar in Madison, Wisconsin
Already great and better every time — that’s what I think each time I visit G5 Brewing in Beloit, Wisconsin. It’s beyond clear that the brewer continues to finesse and improve the beers. Surprisingly, it’s fairly rare to find a brewery that can make both food and beer at an excellent level. G5 is one of the few that do.
What To Drink:
If you make your way to G5, we suggest trying its kölsch-style beer called Hindenburg In A Lightning Storm. It’s crisp, refreshing, and classic with an American twist of Centennial hops.
One of the Bay Area’s underrated breweries is Old Kan Brewing in Oakland. Old Kan was Oakland’s first brewery in the modern era and is tucked into a quiet street in an industrial part of the city. They’re much more about quality than quantity, with styles like dark lager and California common. Everything is simple, delicious, and spot-on.
What To Drink:
You can’t go wrong with any of Old Kan’s fresh beers, but we love its California Common beer aptly named “Classic”. Brewed with California malts and Northern Brewer hops, it’s crisp, bready, and lightly bitter.
The Outlaw Brewing Company – Winchester, New Hampshire
Outlaw Brewing Company
Frederic Yarm, USBG bartender at Josephine in Somerville, Massachusetts
The Outlaw Brewing Company in Winchester, New Hampshire, is an amazing visit worth the trip down dirt roads. Its rustic layout of wooden chairs around firepits with old barns and other wooden structures in the distance is contrasted by the world-class beers they brew and serve, including top-notch IPAs made with locally grown hops (some of which are grown onsite) and one of my favorite brown ales. The adventure is topped off with great musicians performing and their food truck cooking up creative dishes.
What To Drink:
Outlaw Brewing’s award-winning Peach Blonde Ale is bliss in a pint glass. It’s a balanced blonde ale with notes of bready malts, ripe peaches, and gentle, floral hops.
A lot of breweries have a couple of great beers and a bunch of fillers, but top to bottom Coppertail has the best lineup I’ve seen. And most importantly, they resist the urge to over-hop everything they make like most American microbreweries. They take the time to focus on taste and balance.
What To Drink:
If you visit Coppertail, you have to try its take on a classic Belgian-style Trippel Ale. Unholy is referred to as an “American Trippel Ale” because of the liberal use of American hops. Refreshing, fruity, and lightly bitter, it’s a can’t-miss beer.
