The official Glastonbury 2025 lineup hasn’t been revealed. But to ensure things run smoothly once it is, organizers have announced a few logistical changes to the beloved multiple day event. Coldplay, Dua Lipa, and SZA served as headliners for Glastonbury 2024, which made securing tickets next to impossible. But an update to Glastonbury’s ticket sale system could even out the odds for next year’s festivities.

As pointed out by NME, on Glastonbury’s official website, organizers announced the introduction of an inaugural queuing system courtesy of See Tickets. Instead of fighting with thousands of others to refresh the ticket sale webpage, viewer’s slot will be tallied upon visit then ushered along until check out.

While this is standard practice with other ticketing platforms such as Ticketmaster, Glastonbury has been slow to adapt it. Read Glastonbury’s full description of the process below.

The booking process itself for 2025 will be the same as in previous years, however, the way in which you join the booking process is changing. Rather than refreshing the holding page to attempt to access the booking page, this year, when the ticket sale begins (at 6pm or 9am respectively) everyone who is already on the glastonbury.seetickets.com page will randomly be assigned a place in a queue to access the booking process. Anyone who logs on once the sale has started will automatically be added to the back of the queue, so it’s important to make sure you are online ready at least a few minutes before the sale opens. Once you are in the queue, a progress bar will indicate how close you are to reaching the booking page.

Those interested in attending Glastonbury are still required to register ahead of each year’s official ticket sale. Glastonbury 2025’s ticket plus coach travel is scheduled for Thursday, November. The general admission sale will follow on Sunday, November 17. Glastonbury 2025 itself is scheduled to take place between June 25, 2025, and June 29, 2025. Find more information here.

In hindsight, Dr. Dre’s divorce from Nicole Young might have been walk in the park. Well, compared to his now rocky legal matter with former marriage counselor Dr. Charles Sophy.

Last month, Sophy was granted a temporary restraining order against the mogul after accusing Dr. Dre of sending threatening text messages. According to TMZ, Dr. Dre (real name Andre Young) through his legal counsel’s response slammed the Sophy’s $10 million civil harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress lawsuit (viewable here) and restraining order as a “racist caricature that depicts Black men, like Young as inherently violent.”

Now, Rolling Stone reports that half of Dr. Dre’s courtroom battle has ended in the mogul’s favor. Today (November 5), the outlet claimed that a presiding judge dropped Sophy protection over due to it not meeting the “burden of proof.”

In a court documents obtained by RS, Los Angeles County Judge Melanie Ochoa, declared: “The court finds the party requesting the order of protection did not sustain the applicable burden of proof and accordingly the request is denied. Any temporary restraining order earlier issued is hereby dissolved.”

Although Dr. Dre openly admitted to sending strongly worded messages, he vehemently denies threatening to harm his ex-mediator.

A decision has not been made in Sophy’s civil harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress lawsuit.

Five years ago, Nipsey Hussle was tragically gunned down outside of his Marathon Clothing store in Los Angeles, California. Since then, his estate and longtime partner Lauren London have honored his legacy in several ways. Family and friends have slowly found peace knowing that Hussle’s convicted killer Eric Holder faced justice for his actions.

Back in 2023, Holder was sentenced to 60 years to life in prison. Since then, Holder has fought to appeal the court’s decision filing arguments against closing trial arguments. However, according to AllHipHop, Holder’s efforts case has been rejected.

Based on documents obtained by the outlet, a three judge panel in California’s Second District Court of Appeal have ruled to uphold Holder’s conviction, which includes first-degree murder, two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter and two counts of assault with a firearm for shooting two separate men (both survived).

Read the court’s decision below.

Nothing in the trial court’s rulings prevented appellant from arguing objective and subjective provocation to the jury or from clearly articulating the defense theory that ‘appellant acted in the heat of passion as a result of being publicly called a snitch’ by ‘the famous, the great Nipsey Hussle. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in prohibiting defense counsel from telling the jury what appellant was thinking and feeling at the time of the shooting to explain appellant’s conduct.

Contrary to appellant’s claim, the record here affirmatively shows the trial court fully understood and properly exercised its discretion when it declined to dismiss the firearm enhancement,” the three-judge panel ruled. “Highlighting the evidence that appellant used not one, but two guns in his violent attack which killed [Nipsey] and wounded [Kerry] Lathan and [Shermi] Villanueva, the court declared its finding ‘by clear and convincing evidence’ that dismissal of any enhancements in this case ‘would endanger public safety’ … The court emphasized its responsibility to consider and evaluate the mitigation evidence presented by the defense, particularly the evidence of appellant’s history of mental illness, and it indicated that the sentence it was about to pronounce balanced appellant’s mitigating evidence with the devastation appellant had caused to the victims and their families.

Michael Jackson died 15 years ago. Yet still, the crowned King of Pop’s music continues to dominate streaming platforms. That is sure to spike after the late singer’s biopic hits theaters. However, according to reports, Michael has been delayed.

According to Deadline, the highly anticipated pictured directed by Antoine Fuqua has officially been pushed back to 2025.

Originally Michael was slated to be released around Easter 2025 (estimated around April 18-20). Now, based on the outlet’s exclusive report Michael has been locked in for October 3, 2025. Deadline speculates that the delay was a strategy call to get Michael “positioned in the awards corridor next year.” Given that producer Graham King (the Oscar award-winning Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody) is continued to the project, the adjustment makes sense to both die-hard fans of Jackson and film critics alike.

The release dates seems to be the only change to the movie thus far. Universal Pictures remains at the helm of the film’s international production duties. The title role is still held by Michael’s nephew Jaafar Jackson (Jermaine Jackson’s son). Nia Long, Laura Harrier, Miles Teller, and Colman Domingo will also star in the movie as John Branca and John McClain serve in the producers seat with John Logan responsible for the script.

An early synopsis described the project as a “look at the complicated legendary recording artist from his human side to the his public and private struggles.”

A first look at forthcoming film (viewable here) has set supporters’ expectations high.

Soon there won’t be any Weekends With Adele left for fans to enjoy. The end of Adele’s highly demanded Las Vegas residency is beginning to hit her. Over the weekend, the “Easy On Me” singer reflected on her time in
The Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace (which she dubbed Celine Dion’s palace) in a speech captured by The Sun.

Although Adele is “genuinely sad” added the show’s conclusion don’t expect her to call off her hiatus or as she put it an “incredibly long” break.

“This really is the beginning of the end,” she said. “There are no other f*cking shows. I’m not going to be like, ‘Surprise!’ This is the end. It’s [the 100th and final show] the weekend before Thanksgiving, isn’t it? And that’s the last one. I don’t have any plans to be on stage indefinitely, really.”

Adele continued her monologue to the sold-out crowd, saying: “They say that if you want things, and you are looking for things in life, you have to pay the universe, and then it pays you back tenfold. I feel like that’s what’s happened with this show for me. My life is a thousand times better. My life, not my career, not my music. I’m talking about my actual life. And I really, truly think that this show has been my best f*cking friend throughout all of that. And I’m so genuinely sad.”

As for what Adele plans to do during her time off from performing, the multiple Grammy Award winner has expressed her desire to expand her family with her fiancée Rich Paul.

Cardi B’s chart-topping songs has made her a force in rap music. But, the “Like What (Freestyle)” rapper’s candid sense of humor makes her a flocked to online personality.

Yesterday (November 4), Cardi B used her tense split and pending divorce from fellow musician Offset to joke about the state of today’s romantic field. According to Cardi B, there is a contamination warning in effect for all seeking love.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Cardi B backed one user’s disgust with the options in play, writing: “I’m telling you…the dating pool got piss in it .”

Based on Cardi’s declaration fans believe this could be a good sign of reconciliation between her and Offset, whom she shares three children (daughter Kulture, son Wave, and a recently born daughter). However, that seems unlikely.

Last month, in a series of now-deleted posts, Cardi B slammed her estranged husband. “Bro, I wish the worst on this man,” she wrote. “I never hated somebody so much and these b*tches be so thirsty to have him please take this man off my hands this garbage bag is too heavy!”

When a users chimed in to claim this passionate outburst indicated that she “still loved him,” Cardi B quickly dispelled that insinuation, writing: “No, I don’t I want him to get his by an f*cking truck. He really is just a dark cloud on anybody life he enters.”

Maybe in the future, the romantic waters will clear up creating a path for both to found a new love.

Out of the mountain of Neil Gaiman TV and film projects recently in process, Anansi Boys seemed like the most troubled earlier pick this year. Yet as many of the prolific comic book writer’s (former and ongoing) readers now know, Anansi Boys is almost the only project with a question mark beside it after several others have been postponed, cut short, or cancelled.

The in-process TV series, which has been in the works for several years and intended for Prime Video/Amazon, is connected to (but not officially a spin off of) Gaiman’s American Gods novel through African trickster god Anansi, whose son, Charlie Nancy, also has a pain-in-the-butt (and previously unknown) brother that suddenly surfaces to wreak havoc in the Anansi Boys novel.

To briefly recap the show’s history, the six-episode series began filming in late 2021 and was in post production two years ago (as reported by Deadline), at which point co-showrunner Douglas Mackinnon abruptly exited. At around the same time, Mackinnon also departed Good Omens, leaving Gaiman as that series’ sole showrunner, a position that he no longer occupies.

Where does that leave Anansi Boys, and is there hope for the series surfacing?

No clue. In other words, it’s complicated.

Prime Video/Amazon has remained quiet on Anansi Boys updates for several months, and although filming has been complete on the project, its troubled status was no secret prior to the allegations dropping against Neil Gaiman. And that requires another back-up to explain a frazzled situation.

A few months ago, Netflix cancelled Dead Boy Detectives due to flagging streaming numbers, although that call came amid mounting allegations of sexual assault against multiple woman as reported by the Tortoise Media podcast. Gaiman has denied the allegations against him, and investigations against the author continue in New Zealand.

The past few months, as well, saw Disney hit the breaks on developing a Graveyard Book movie, and although Netflix’s The Sandman will still release a second season in 2025, the streaming service notably never mentioned Gaiman throughout a customary featurette for which he figured prominently while promoting the first season.

Most recently, Prime Video/Amazon scaled back Good Omens‘ third and final season to a 90-minute episode to bring the Aziraphale and Crowley story story to an end. This followed Gaiman voluntary stepping away from the show.

As for who is now showrunning Anansi Boys — if anybody — nobody is talking. And we definitely do not know if the project will ever surface on TV screens or streaming devices. Earlier this year, however, Dark Horse Comics announced that the story would be tackled as an individual comic series, although there’s no word of how that’s going in light of recent developments.

The Philadelphia 76ers will have to wait a little longer for Joel Embiid to play in his first game this season. On Tuesday afternoon, the NBA announced that Embiid received a 3-game suspension following an incident in the locker room on Saturday night where he shoved a member of the media. It is believed that Embiid shoved Marcus Hayes of the Philadelphia Inquirer, who recently published a column criticizing Embiid over not playing this season that referenced his son and late brother, which upset the former NBA MVP.

“Mutual respect is paramount to the relationship between players and media in the NBA,” Joe Dumars, the NBA’s Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations said in a statement. “While we understand Joel was offended by the personal nature of the original version of the reporter’s column, interactions must remain professional on both sides and can never turn physical.”

Embiid criticized Hayes earlier in the week during a media availability, but he was not in attendance. In its statement, the league announced that Embiid — who has been working his way back from a knee issue — will not start serving his suspension until he is eligible and healthy enough to play.

The Sixers have gotten off to a slow start this season without Embiid, as the team is 1-5. Their high-profile offseason addition, Paul George, only just made his regular season debut on Monday night against the Phoenix Suns after getting hurt in the preseason.

In her Saturday Night Live debut, Chappell Roan performed two songs: “Pink Pony Club” and “The Giver,” a new country-tinged ode to how “only a woman knows how to treat a woman right” (wink). She also filmed a promo with host John Mulaney and cast member Ego Nwodim while wearing an elaborate outfit designed by Project Runway alum Gunnar Deatherage.

The look was originally going to debut at one of Roan’s music festival dates, but “as we kept building and the look kept evolving and getting cooler and more complex, it was apparent that this look needed to be seen in a more stationary moment, rather than jumping around on stage,” Deatherage explained to People. “Because the last thing we wanted to do is prohibit Chappell from being able to be Chappell on stage — prohibit the magic.”

Deatherage reckons it took around 500 hours to complete the ensemble. “It’s actually the most complex look that we’ve done,” he said. “I think a lot of that was because… we were originally thinking that it had to hold up to an hour-long performance. So we really took those precautions to make sure that everything was made really beautifully.”

Rap pioneer Buckshot, best known as a member of Black Moon and Boot Camp Clik, has been released from the hospital and is recovering after recently being attacked in his native Flatbush, Brooklyn, according to a statement released by his label, Duck Down Music, on Twitter this afternoon. In a video that went viral on social media over the weekend, the 49-year-old rapper was seen in the aftermath of an attack by multiple assailants who left him reeling and bloodied.

Buckshot responded to fans’ concern in a statement to AllHipHop.

To all my friends, fans, and supporters—thank you for reaching out during this difficult time. Recently, I was the victim of a violent assault involving multiple individuals armed with weapons, including handguns. This attack stems from ongoing disputes over my property, where I am the rightful owner but have faced issues with unauthorized occupants who escalated the situation to violence.

As someone who’s been an entertainer and part of this community for over 30 years, I am deeply disturbed that such an incident could happen in New York—a city I love and call home. Violence like this has no place here, and I’m calling on everyone to come together to make New York safer and better for all of us.

I am currently recovering from my injuries and am working closely with my legal team and law enforcement to ensure this matter is handled properly. We are committed to seeing justice served, and I ask for your patience and support as the legal process unfolds. Again, thank you for all the well wishes. Let’s put an end to violence and help rebuild a stronger, safer New York.

Buckshot first debuted in 1992 as a member of the underground rap group Black Moon. Their debut album Enta Da Stage is considered a classic of the East Coast backpacker scene, with its single “Who Got da Props” peaking at No. 86 on the Hot 100. The group’s most recent release was 2019’s Rise Of Da Moon. Buckshot achieved much of his solo success through a run of collaborative albums, including Chemistry and The Solution with famed North Carolina beatmaker 9th Wonder, in the 2000s and 2010s.
