Ingrid Andress is officially a comeback kid. On Friday, February 28, the “Wishful Drinking” singer returned from her extended hiatus with a chip on her shoulder.
Instead of releasing a new introspective song, Andress decided to face the reason for her absence head-on. During the Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild game, Ingrid Andress hit the ice to delivering her redeeming rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (viewable here), and that she did.
Although Andress’ recent performance did not include all the vocal bells and whistles, in comparison to her 2024 Home Run Derby version it is a drastic improvement.
Overwhelming Andress’ initial national anthem cover was considered to be one of the worst renditions (not to comedian Roseanne Barr and fellow singer Fergie).
Shortly after the backlash, Andress released a statement apologizing for her performance. She then revealed that her feel short of expectation due to being under the influence of alcohol. But the silver lining was that as a result of the embarrassing moment Andress decided to seek professional treatment.
“I’m not gonna bullsh*t y’all, I was drunk last night,” she wrote on Instagram. “I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need. That was not me last night. I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition. I’ll let y’all know how rehab is. I hear it’s super fun.”
In the comment section of Ingrid Andress’ latest performance fans have been extremely gracious showering her with words of encouragement and welcoming wishes.

The ongoing Los Angeles wildfires continue to rage, but the show must go on. In this case, that show happens to be the 97th annual Academy Awards, which will take place on Sunday, March 2 and will be hosted by Conan O’Brien. And if this ceremony is like the Globes, there could be a distinct lack of chaos unless Vin Diesel and The Rock smack each other with their eyes again.
This year’s crop of nominees draw strong representation from The Brutalist, Emilia Pérez, Wicked, Conclave, A Complete Unknown, and Anora. Also, do not count out Sebastian Stan for an acting win after his Globe victory and twin nods (for The Apprentice and A Different Man). Dude has been swerving outside the Marvel box for over a decade, and it might be his time. Additionally, the awards telecast will bypass Best Original Song performances with no word on whether that will affect the customary 3+ hour ceremony runtime.
If you’ve been hoping for the miracle of Tate McRae’sSaturday Night Live return, yesterday (March 1) your prayers were answered.
Following the Uproxx cover star’s initial set of “Sports Car,” McRae hit SNL‘s stage one final time. During her second performance, McRae delivered an intimately reverent performance of So Close To What track “Dear God.”
In stark contrast to her performance of “Sports Car,” McRae stepped away the high-energy sets fans have come to expect from her. Instead, she stripped down to the emotional rawness that the record called from.
With just her drummer and guitarist alongside her, McRae brought viewers down the gut-wrenching altar of romantic remorse.
“Dear God, Take his kiss right out of my brain / Take the pleasure out of my pain / Take the way he used to say, ‘I love you’ / Dear God, Get his imprint out of my bed / Take ‘amazing’ out of our sex / Take away the way I still might want to,” she painstaking sang.
Later this month, McRae will hit the road for the Miss Possessive Tour, so her onstage theatrics will surely return. For the time being, supporters are coming to appreciate her more simplistic sets.

Uproxx cover artist Tate McRae has her foot on the gas. Despite the “It’s OK I’m OK” singer’s latest studio album, So Close To What, leaking McRae has not let that flatten her enthusiasm about the project.
Yesterday (March 1), Tate McRae hit the Saturday Night Live with something to prove. During her performance of “Sports Car,” McRae pulled out all the stops for a dazzling display of her classically trained dance skills.
In the track’s official music video, McRae blended her love for high fashion and free flowing movements. But at SNL, McRae’s seemingly sole focus was on exhausting her bag of choreographed tricks. Atop a mountain of titanium chairs, McRae along with her army of dancers made their way down without missing a step.
If McRae’s business professional stage attire did not give it away, the use of prop press microphone made it clear she was hitting back at not-so-nice critiques. Some supporters online even pointed out negative responses to her 2023 appearance earned.
Regardless, that is now a thing of the past and McRae’s future is bright. Between the militant like precision and limited-less choreography McRae is undeniably a pop girlie to watch.

The Angel Reese Special at McDonald’s is packed with protein. But the Chicago Sky star seems to be holding out on a very personal sweet treat–or so fans think.
Yesterday (March 1), as Angel Reese hit the hardwood for Unrivaled League’s Rose versus Mist matchup. On the sideline’s rapper Gunna and producer Turbo showed their support for Reese. But users online now think things are romantically heating up between Gunna and Angel Reese after his now viral courtside interview.
When asked if he could score a point in Unrivaled’s three-on-three format, Gunna flirty told Chief Growth Officer Chloe Pavlech: “If Angel Reese is on my team, yeah.”
Although Turbo echoed Gunna’s response, given the pairs ongoing friendship, viewers believe a romance is brewing.
Fans have taken to Unrivaled’s Instagram post (viewable here) with words of support for the potential romantic pairing.
“‘If Angel Reese on my team.’ PERIOD ,” wrote one user.
“The real ones get it. Angel is HER,” added another.
“Angel got motion bruh ,” penned another user.
In May, Reese was spotted at Gunna’s Chicago concert. Then in November, Reese used Gunna’s song “Him All Along” in one of her Instagram highlight clips with him commenting, “HER ALL ALONG.”
Prior to that, on X (formerly Twitter) in June 2023 Reese shouted out Gunna’s album, writing: “Gunna Wunna don’t miss!”
Yesterday (March 1), the UK’s biggest names in music gathered for this year’s BRIT Awards. Sadly, one English singer’s presence was deeply missed–the late Liam Payne.
So, 2025 BRIT Awards organizers made sure to honor the One Direction member’s legacy during the ceremony with a touching video tribute.
The evening’s host Jack Whitehall introduced the sentimental package.
“Last October, we woke to the devastating news that Liam Payne had tragically passed away,” he said. “He achieved so much in the short time that he was on this Earth, and was not only a supremely gifted musician, but an incredibly kind soul who touched the lives of everyone he came into contact with.”
Afterward, a montage featuring videos and photos of Payne across the various point in his career flashes across the monitors. All those within London’s O2 Arena delivered a warm round of apologize as Payne’s smiling face radiated throughout the venue.
Shortly after the segment ended, Payne’s One Direction bandmate and friend, Louis Tomlinson took to X (formerly Twitter) to thank the BRIT Awards for the in memoriam moment.
“Beautiful tribute,” he wrote. “Miss you always brother.”
As Cena turned heel at the instruction of The Rock, Scott couldn’t help himself but to sneak in a few hits. Users online joked about Scott’s brutal blows, but The Rock showed his support in the post-event press conference (viewable here).
“We have this opportunity to create this big moment in pro wrestling that is arguably one of the biggest,” he said. “We had an opportunity to bring Travis Scott in too and start to form a union and an alliance with The Final Boss and Travis Scott. He wanted to get, to steal a term, he wanted to get his hands bloody. I whispered to him as we were going out, ‘if you get your hands bloody, make it count. Make it count.’ He slapped the sh*t out of Cody. He was really hyped up.”
Travis Scott has plenty of musical accolades. Now, the question is can replicate that in the WWE.
Drake surely has been flying around the world with his woes. The “Gimme A Hug” rapper’s latest jet-setting journey brought him back to his hometown.
Yesterday (March 1), Drake decided to take enjoy the WWE’s Elimination Chamber match at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada. Initially, Drake put forth his best efforts to remain incognito swapping out his usually flashy floor seat attire. But, despite Drake being dressed in a low brimmed camouflage cap, plain black pullover hoodie, and no icy diamond pendants fellow attendees still managed to spot him in the crowd.
Eventually, Drake gave up on keeping a low profile. So, when the broadcast cameras swung his way (as he was seated behind the announcers’ desk), Drake played up to the camera just like a typical WWE lover would (viewable here).
Drake alongside Lil Yacthy and another OVO associate enjoyed the remained of the event uninterrupted. Viewers say, the WWE didn’t even make an announcement about him being in the attendance.
Well, that was until Logan Paul gave Drake a shoutout from within the actual elimination chamber. As Paul waited to enter the ring, with a marker he wrote out “OVO” and then pointed in Drake’s direction. With Lil Yacthy filming the moment (viewable here), you can see Drake visibly appreciated the gesture.
Although Drake seemed to have a great time his Australian fans are petty peeved. Last month, Drake canceled his remaining four The Anita Max Win Tour dates due to a “scheduling conflict.” Online Aussies are slamming Drake for bailing on them but popping up at other events on the other side of the globe.
Charlie Hunnam has been missing too long from TV since the Sons Of Anarchy finale with its soap-operatic, green-screened madness on FX. Following the logistical nightmare known as Apple TV+’s Shantaram production, he spent time in Zack Snyder-land, but finally, Hunnam was revealed to be returning to TV bad-dude mode with Prime Video/Amazon’s Criminal, which still doesn’t have a release date. Yet he has already moved into his next killer role, which moves beyond mere baddie status. Hunnam has joined Netflix’s Monster as a notorious murderer who still influences pop culture, so let’s look at the evidence on what to expect from the third season of the Ryan Murphy series.
Plot

As Netflix bingewatchers are aware, the first Monster dramatized Jeffrey Dahmer’s (Evan Peters) tour of terror, and Monsters followed Lyle and Erik Menendez’s murder of their parents. Both of those seasons included the killers’ names in the season titles, but as Ryan Murphy revealed to Collider, they are going in a different direction with this third season, formally titled The Original Monster because that’s kind of what he was.” The “he” is Ed Gein, and this third season began shooting on Halloween last year.
Gein was the inspiration for Norman Bates in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (Hitchcock will be dramatized in this season, too) and Tobe Hooper’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Literature (and later, cinema) continued to use Gein’s homicidal and sadistic acts as a template, including with Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho. For that reason, Murphy will use this season to make commentary upon how (in the 1950s) Gein became the first murderer (not to mention grave robber) who fascinated the public. And that’s still a phenomenon that occurs today, as Penn Badgley has attested to with discomfort after portraying a lusted-after, fictional serial killer in Netflix You (and also after Badgley noted the fascination surrounding the Dahmer season).
This season should feed that beast, and in all likelihood, we ain’t seen nothing yet in the bingewatching obsession department, given Gein’s ^^^ good looks (Hunnam was surely cast for his eerie resemblance, along with his talent). Also, Murphy told Collider that he had “always” wanted to work with the man who portrayed Jax Teller, “[s]o I met with Charlie and he’s just the most lovely person. He liked what we were doing. He liked what it’s about.” The always-busy showrunner and producer elaborated more:
“We were interested in this idea of, ‘Where did our cultural interest in serial killers begin? Where and how did this all start?’ Based on our research, the very first one who became a celebrity at that level was Ed, who was an instant crazy celebrity from the moment he was arrested … Nobody had ever heard of anything like that.”
A new crime-dramatizing era was arguably born through Gein’s arrest, and this season will touch on his influence that reached into Silence of the Lambs (Gein became known for his “skin suit” fixation) as well as reflect upon his schizophrenia and the countless homicides that he was suspected of, although he only confessed to two murders and spent the rest of his life behind bars.
For a less dramatized version of this story, MGM+ also recently tackled Gein’s crimes with the Psycho: The Lost Tapes of Ed Gein docuseries.
Cast
Charlie Hunnam will turn heads and stomachs as Ed Gein. His mother will be portrayed by Laurie Metcalf, according to Variety, which added that Tom Hollander is onboard as Alfred Hitchcock with Olivia Williams as Alma Reville, wife to Hitchcock.
The Insneider newsletter has exclusively reported that scream queen Addison Rae (He’s All That, Thanksgiving) and Suzanna Son (The Idol, Red Rocket) have also joined the cast.
Release Date
Monster‘s first two seasons were two years apart, so we might be waiting until Sept. 2026 if the pattern sticks. However, rumors have swirled that 2025 is happening, so we shall see.
Trailer
Hunnam’s Sons Of Anarchy performance contained plenty of straight-up brutal moments that forecast his ability to portray a notorious killer. The below clip, however, comes with Bonus Taylor Sheridan.
Peaky Blinders finished with both big f*cking bangs and small mercies. Tommy Shelby’s final scenes of the series could have fittingly been the end, but by popular curiosity, Cillian Murphy and series creator Steven Knight decided to continue Tommy’s Birmingham adventures with a feature film. God only knows where either creative force found the time, and Knight in particular has been occupied with getting another gang, the Forty Elephants, off the ground with A Thousand Blows series (including a Stephen Graham crossover) on Hulu.
Although we might not ever receive another Taboo season from Knight, it sure sounds like we’ll get much more Peaky, so let’s get down to business on what to expect from the Immortal Man movie.
Obviously, Cillian Murphy is back as Tommy, and amid the list of returning cast members from the BBC/Netflix show, we can count in Stephen Graham (as Hayden Stagg), Sophie Rundle (as Ada Shelby Thorne), Packy Lee (Johnny Dogs), Ned Dennehy (Charlie Strong), and Ian Peck (Curly).
Actress Kate Phillips recently confirmed (via Radio Times) she will not return as Arthur’s wife, Linda (“I’m not. There were discussions and then it didn’t pan out”). If we consider the duo a package deal, this likely seals the deal (albeit without a production statement) on Anderson sitting this one out.
Likewise, Finn Cole has put a nail in the idea of Michael Gray possibly returning as the ghost of Insufferable Michael. In doing so, Cole remarked, “It seems like there’s a whole new cast,” which heads right into our next paragraph.
New characters will be portrayed by Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, and Barry ^^^ Keoghan, and speculation remains strong that the latter will be portraying the older version of Duke Shelby, the illegitimate son of Tommy, who he aimed to have take over the illegal side of the family business.
And what of Tom Hardy as Alfie Solomons? Thus far, no confirmation or denial has surfaced, but it’s not difficult to imagine the Jewish gangster returning for revisionist history in WWII. Additionally, it would be a wasted opportunity to not bring back Sam Claflin as fascist/Hitler ally Sir Oswald Mosley, and perhaps the Blinders can get the job done this time after Barney Thompson (Cosmo Jarvis) was halted from completing his sniper mission. Does it matter that Mosley lived until 1980 IRL? No way. Knight has a grand time with tweaking historical events to make better TV, so let the good times roll.
Plot
Netflix/BBC
Plot details have been super sparse other than the acknowledgement that there will be a time jump for a WWII-set story, as Knight Knight told Tudum: “The country is at war, and so, of course, are our Peaky Blinders.”
Knight also recently informed BBC Breakfast (via Variety), “I would say this, wouldn’t I? But it’s fantastic. We’ve got the best, I think, the best British actors all in one place.” He added, “[N]o one will be disappointed. It is quite an incredible thing.” Then came the most illuminating part: “It’s a very fitting way to end this part of the ‘Peaky’ story.” Say what? “This part, yes … I’m not allowed to announce it, but I’m just saying that the world of ‘Peaky’ will continue.”
Previously, Knight admitted to LA Times that the fandom’s appetite has essentially provided for this movie and more:
“I always knew that the story of Tommy and the Shelby family wouldn’t end with Season 6. There is such a huge global appetite for the world of ‘Peaky Blinders,’ and so much more story to tell. I think it was around the end of Season 2 when I felt that the fan base deserved a say in the trajectory of Peaky. I’ve taken the family into World War II, and the movie we have shot is wild, explosive and deeply emotional. Even when the movie is done, there is more to come. Watch this space.”
Reading between the lines, in addition to Cillian Murphy acknowledging Tommy’s return as “this one’s for the fans,” this sounds like the ideal time for Tommy to officially pass his illegitimate business interests to Duke. Yet it remains to be seen whether an older version of Tommy and Grace’s son, Charles, will be on hand for the forward facing side of Shelby Company Ltd. Meanwhile, Ava Shelby will return with her unconditional love for Tommy, although if Lizzie is lucky, she will still be separated from him. And will we see a tribute to the late Helen McCrory as Polly? Fingers crossed.
Release Date
Netflix confirmed that filming completed last December, and although a precise release date hasn’t been revealed, Knight let Deadline know that “you can sort of work out that it will be about a year.” Peaky Fookin’ Blinders for the holidays sounds entirely possible.
Trailer
In lieu of a trailer, would you care for an hour straight of Peaky walking?
