Taylor Swift’s workout for The Eras Tour involved lots of running on a treadmill. Dua Lipa is going with a different method for the Radical Optimism Tour. “Show prep,” the “Houdini” singer wrote on Instagram, along with multiple videos where she’s doing yoga. The physicality and flexibility on display is impressive; it would have to be to perform her dance-heavy live show every night.
Dua Lipa previously discussed her workout with Marie Claire UK. “I try and work out as much as I can. It’s such a busy lifestyle I feel like I need to try and do something for myself every day,” she said. “I love doing something that’s really fast and quick, like a 15-minute HIIT session which I can do before I start my day. If I’ve got a really early call time I don’t want to be waking up hours before I need to, to go and do a workout. So a high intensity workout, shower, breakfast, and I’m on my way.”
She continued, “When I have a tiny bit more time on my side I love mixing up lots of different training, finding different workouts in whatever city I’m in, whether it’s yoga, Pilates, boxing or spinning. Whatever it is, I try to change it up every day to keep things interesting. When you’re on a tour bus, every day and every place is different, so you never know what you’re going to find. That’s always one way to keep it interesting.”
K-pop favorites NewJeans are coming off an interesting weekend. The group was in Hong Kong to play ComplexCon on March 23. It was their first performance since rebranding as NJZ, and they debuted a new song called “Pitstop” (here’s a video).
The headline, though, is that the group also announced they’re going on a hiatus.
Why Is NewJeans (AKA NJZ) Going On Hiatus?
As NME notes, the band said, “We have decided to stop all activities for the time being in accordance with the court ruling. It wasn’t an easy decision but a necessary one.”
This comes after months of conflict between NewJeans and former label ADOR. In November 2024, the group members claimed they were leaving the agency due to a dispute, but ADOR insisted the agreement between them and the group was still in effect. Then, the band rebranded as NJZ in February, but shortly before ComplexCon, ADOR was granted an injunction that prevents the group from operating as NJZ.
Meanwhile, at ComplexCon, the group’s Minji said, “We knew this wouldn’t be easy from the start. We will continue to voice our opinions while respecting the court’s decision and the process. We have no regrets.”
Hyein also said, “Some people may think staying [with ADOR] would have been better for us, but this was about protecting ourselves. We believe we will come back stronger and do not regret our decision.”
Minji added, “Please don’t see this as the end — we will return, and when we do, we want to meet you again with bright, smiling faces. We know this may be disappointing and upsetting for Bunnies [NewJeans’ fandom], but this is how we protect ourselves, and only by doing this can we return stronger.”
Since late November 2024, Jack Harlow has shared a new track every several weeks or so. But despite his latest track, “Just Us” featuring Doja Cat, growing in popularity it hasn’t increased Harlow’s urge to drop a new album.
During an appearance Apple Music’s New Music Daily with Zane Lowe, Jack Harlow confessed his forthcoming project is taking longer than usual. But he’s fine with that.
“Where’s the f*cking album,” asked Lowe. “You’re just teasing us with hit after hit. What’s going on? Let’s get to the big question, where is the album?”
“That is a big question,” replied Harlow. “I ask myself this all the time. Where is the album.”
After his letting go of his signature sarcasm, Harlow opened up about why the forthcoming body of work hasn’t been announced let alone released yet. “It’s in process,” he said. ” I’m trying to transcend. I wanna do something I’ve never done, and I’m just starting to slowly accept that it is going to take me longer than any of my past projects if I want it to be like nothing I’ve ever done maybe it will take longer than things I have done.”
As for the songs supporters have already been shared (including “Just Us,” “Set You Free,” “Tranquility,” and “Hello Miss Johnson“), Harlow isn’t sure that he’ll include them on the project. “It depends on how the album shakes out sonically,” he said with a level of uncertainty in his voice.
Ask and you shall receive (no matter how strange the request). During one of Dua Lipa’s recent Radical Optimism Tour stops she made one concertgoer promise to fulfill a bizarre demand.
Well, yesterday (March 22), the supporter made good on their promise by sending the record to a Dua Lipa fan page on X (formerly Twitter). “ PHYSICAL – DUA LIPA FEAT. TROYE SIVAN,” wrote the account uploading the audio to X.
Quickly the post gained steam across the platforms. So much so, that it hit Dua Lipa’s desk. After checking out the post and confirming its authenticity, Dua Lipa went on to thank the unnamed fan for finally releasing the file.
The upcoming body of work will be paired with an official short film. Today (March 23), “The Boy Is Mine” singer announced the forthcoming film’s screening schedule and host cities.
Unlike last year’s trend of nationwide showings for music adjacent pictures, Grande’s Brighter Days Ahead short film will only be presented in select cities. On Sunday, March 30, fans can attend an exclusive screening in either Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, or Grande’s hometown Boca Raton, Florida.
The exact location for the screenings has not yet been disclosed. However, Grande did post the RSVP link in order to gain entry into the event on her official Instagram page. On the landing page, Grande stressed that even if supporters signed up before the screening’s March 26, 9 a.m. Eastern cutout time, that does not guarantee them a seat.
Still, Grande’s biggest fans have rushed to have their names added to the exclusive guest list. For the time being, fans are counting down the days until Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead is released.

Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead is out 3/28 via Republic Records. Find more information here.
Sauce Walka’s camp has been struck with tragedy. Over the weekend, the “Ghetto Gospel” rapper has professional commitments in Memphis, which included an appearance at a birthday bash for budding musician Dan Joe.
Sadly during this trip, Sauce Walka was critically injured in a shooting that claimed the life of his rising artist Sayso P. According to FOX 13 Memphis, yesterday (March 22) while in the city’s downtown area Sauce Walka and Sayso P were targeted by assailants. As the pair were outside the Westin Hotel near the FedExForum, gunmen approached Sauce Walka and Sayso P opening fire.
In a statement provided to the outlet, a representative for the Memphis Police Department said Walka was critically shot in the leg. He was then rushed off to Regional One Health hospital for treatment. Now, Walka’s status has been upgraded to non-critical condition. But Sayso P was fatally shot and pronounced dead on the scene.
Although the MPD have identified the vehicle used by the assailants, no arrest has been made at this time. Following witness accounts of the deadly incident, authorities reiterated that the shooting was not a random act of violence.
During a live broadcast hosted by Wack 100 (listenable here), the former manager of late rapper Mo3, Brandon Rainwater backed MPD’s suspensions.
Sauce Walka has not yet issued a public statement regarding the incident.
If you are over the age of 25, you probably only know MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson) from his smiling face in confusing YouTube thumbnails. But here’s the thing: he is massively, almost incomprehensibly popular.
MrBeast has amassed more subscribers than any other YouTube channel through wild stunts (“I Spent 100 Hours Inside The Pyramids”) and challenge-based giveaways like “2,000 People Fight For $5,000,000.” To add to his Feastables-assisted fortune, he also hosts the Prime Video reality competition series Beast Games, which premiered in December 2024 and quickly became the streamer’s most popular unscripted show ever.
Beast Games is “100 percent” expected to return for another season. Here’s what we know.
Plot
Beast Games is described as a “record-breaking competition series” in which 1,000 contestants (!) compete in “nail-biting, physical, mental, and social challenges for a chance to win a whopping $5 million cash prize. Week by week, contestants will use their strength and wit to stay in the game, with the hope of being the multi-million-dollar winner.”
Season 1’s victor was Jeff Allen (Player 831). He actually won $10 million, although after taxes, it was “only” $5.03 million. “My ultimate aim for joining Beast Games was to have a platform to talk about my son Lucas’s rare brain disease,” Allen, who donated $200,000 to help fund research for creatine transporter deficiency (CTD), told Fortune. “I realized, wait, I’m this far, I can also win this thing. I got the best of both worlds, and it’s crazy to even think back to it.”
How will MrBeast change things up for Beast Games season 2 (besides hopefully avoiding another class-action lawsuit)? For one thing, he plans to be more “cutthroat” by quickly eliminating 800 contestants to “get the numbers down,” which is “better for character building.” There’s $15 million at stake.
If you want a shot at winning some Beast bucks, now’s your chance: the casting call for Beast Games season 2 is now open. To apply, you have to “tell us why you are smart and the ultimate strategic thinker—analytical, clever, street smart and a master problem-solver who can outsmart the competition. Do you have a high IQ or a collection of impressive intellectual achievements?” OR “Tell us how your strength, endurance, and physical dominance make you an unstoppable force in this competition!”
Here’s more:
MAKE SURE TO ANSWER AT LEAST TWO OR THREE OF THESE QUESTIONS:
•What was your favorite challenge from BEAST GAMES Season 1, and why?
•Who was your favorite contestant from Season 1, and what made them stand out to you?
•What makes YOU an unforgettable competitor? What’s your edge? Your secret weapon? Your unique skills? Your strongest skills?
Uproxx cover stars Jonas Brothers are not done celebrating their decades-long career. Between 2023 and 2024, the “Love Me To Heaven” musicians’ The Tour was an onstage tribute to their discography.
Come this summer, they will do it all over again as part of their Jonas20: Living The Dream Tour alongside Marshmello and special guests The All-American Rejects and Boys Like Girls. During an appearance on Good Morning America, the group teased the tour and confirmed it would open in the Garden State.
“Our journey began in New Jersey, it’s where we grew up,” said Nick. “Joe mentioned riding up and down the East Coast in a trailer. Just really humble beginnings playing in malls, because we couldn’t sell tickets ourselves, and we’d pop up in there and play.”
The artist presale for the Jonas20: Living The Dream Tour will begin on March 26 at 10 a.m. local time. The Live Nation presale will follow on March 27 at 10 a.m. local time. On March 28, the general sale will kick off. Find more information here.

Jonas Brothers’ Jonas20: Living The Dream Tour posters
Jon Hamm recently completed his wheeling and dealing Landman role on Paramount Plus, so you might be wondering why he’s scheduled to host SNL in the coming weeks. Well, that will line up with the The Morning Show actor returning to Apple TV+ to lead his own series, potentially with vague echoes of Mad Men‘s Don Draper for good measure. Let’s not waste any more time and uncover what to expect from Your Friends & Neighbors.
Plot
Apple TV+
For starters, we can expect more than one season. Last November, Apple TV+ announced an early renewal that will follow an initial nine-episode season. See showrunner and Banshee co-creator Jonathan Trapper also co-created Your Friends & Neighbors, which will showcase Hamm as a high-powered hedge funder whose crumbling professional and personal lives lead him to dabble in the thieving, con-artist life. Perhaps both effectively and ineffectively, however, his victims are members of his own community.
Sure, that’s not the same as Don Draper stealing a fellow soldier’s identity, but arguably, the ad execs of the 1960s are not unlike the hedge fund managers of today, both being sellers of dreams and what not. And Hamm will once again be a sharp dressed man throwing up his own defenses, but as the series logline reveals, he will uncover more disturbing facades while stealing from his so-called friends:
After being fired in disgrace, a hedge fund manager still grappling with his recent divorce, resorts to stealing from his neighbors’ homes in the exceedingly affluent Westmont Village, only to discover that the secrets and affairs hidden behind those wealthy facades might be more dangerous than he ever imagined.
Yep, that’s Olivia Munn among the cast of unsuspecting characters.
Apple TV+
Beyond this series, Hamm’s Apple TV+ tenure will likely continue with more of The Morning Show, as he recently told Hollywood Reporter in an interview where he elaborated on how he has selected post-Mad Men projects:
“‘Will this be fun? Will it be something I’d want to watch?’ That’s Keeping Up With the Joneses or Tag. These are not movies that are going to move the needle as some great cinematic achievement, but I got to work with some of the funniest people on the planet and I had a blast. And that’s the decision-making process.”
Although Your Friends & Neighbors is technically classified as a drama, you can bet on some dark humor being in the mix.
Cast
Apple TV+
Hamm will be joined by Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, Mark Tallman, Hoon Lee, Isabel Marie Gravitt, Lena Hall, Eunice Bae, Donovan Colan, and Aimee Carrero.
Release Date
Apple TV+
Apple TV+ will drop two episodes on Friday, April 11 followed by weekly additions until May 30.
Trailer
I dare you not to flashback to a Mad Men elevator scene during this trailer.
Every single week, our TV and film experts will list the most important ten streaming selections for you to pop into your queues. We’re not strictly operating upon reviews or accrued streaming clicks (although yes, we’ve scoured the streaming site charts) but, instead, upon those selections that are really worth noticing amid the churning sea of content. There’s a lot out there, after all, and your time is valuable.
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s satiric success with Prime Video/Amazon’s The Boys surely informed this uproariously funny view of their their own world. They put Hollywood on blast in an affectionate way while Rogen portrays a studio chief who happens to love movies and doesn’t want to destroy them. The Pineapple Express visionary now stands as one of Apple TV+’s leading comedic forces (also with Platonic), and he’s brought several of his funny friends (Chase Sui Wonders, Kathryn Hahn, Brian Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, Rebecca Hall, Ike Barinholtz, and Olivia Wilde) along for the ride.
Netflix isn’t cranking out many big-budgeted feature films with A-listers these days, but when they do, this streaming service still goes all out. Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things, Enola Holmes) and Chris Pratt (Guardians Of The Galaxy, Jurassic World) star in this Rosso Brothers production that adapts Simon Stålenhag’s same-named, acclaimed graphic novel that tells the retro-futuristic 1990s story about a traveler, a smuggler, and of course a pair of robots. Guess who portrays who, or stream it to find out.
Prepare to actually feel sorry for a character who you never expected to elicit that emotion. From there, it’s difficult to guess who could possibly kick the bucket at the end of this season, other than to conclude that several characters might actually want for that to happen? This season hasn’t been nearly as riveting as the Sicily-based resort visit, but the drama has been heating up, especially among the frenemy trio portrayed by Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, and Michelle Monaghan. Also, Walton Goggins’ little conversation with Sam Rockwell added much needed texture to what Mike White is attempting to accomplish, and doesn’t everybody want to hug Aimee Lou Wood?
The fantasy spotlight continues at this streaming service (in addition to Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power) with this Rosamund Pike-starring series adapting Robert Jordan’s novels. This season will follows Pike’s Moiraine and Josha Stradowski’s Rand al’Thor on their quest to find the Dragon Reborn’s true fate. This involves traveling to Aiel Waste amid the corrupted power of Rand. In the process, they must evade the on-the-loose Forsaken amid intensifying danger against the Light and the threat of the Dragon turning Dark.
6. The Righteous Gemstones – HBO series streaming on Max
Danny McBride recently weighed in with UPROXX’s Sound Check on his favorite Kenny Powers songs, and the Eastbound & Down co-creator is now back with the evangelical Gemstones misfits for one last round of grifting. Expect to see plenty of Walton Goggins’ Baby Billy and, ideally, an equal amount of Edi Patterson‘s Judy with the rest of the extended family back and this ensemble cast being everything. Whether there are monster trucks or clogging sessions involved, this trainwreck is too much fun for all involved.
Finally, Jon Bernthal returned as Frank Castle, and the actor himself is working on penning a standalone special (reminiscent of Werewolf by Night) for The Punisher to go even further back into the MCU. Despite Castle’s continued combative ways, this series takes a psychologically complex look at Frank’s inner turmoil while posing measured questions on where the character goes from here. As Bernthal admitted to Entertainment Weekly, he originally said no to Frank’s return, and now, “I feel like it’s opened the door to getting closer to the Frank Castle that I really, really want to portray.”
Indie distributor NEON raked in the Oscars this year, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Mikey Madison’s raw and exuberant portrayal of an exotic dancer who briefly marries a Russian oligarch’s son before the family thugs step in to ruin everything. This is much more than “a f*ckboi fairytale” and won the Palme d’Or at last year’s Cannes Film Festival. And to think, it was this batsh*t crazy scene in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood where the inspiration for casting Mikey Madison was born.
Widely lauded as one of this year’s best dramas, this is not an easy watch but nonetheless a rewarding one, and over 20 million Netflix viewers (and counting) agree. Stephen Graham stars as the father of a 13-year-old boy (portrayed by Owen Cooper) who has been accused of murdering a schoolmate, and frequent Graham co-star Erin Doherty steps up as a clinical psychologist who is attempting to unravel the nightmare that could hit the family next door. Stripped back to its disturbing bones, the show is a conversation starter, albeit one with no easy answers on the way.
The Big Guy and The Bigger Guy are both still standing and barreling toward their own season finale, and you know that Reacher specializes in over-the-top climaxes with lots of bone crunching action. After that dopamine hit wears off, remember that Neagley is already in production to bridge the gap between action-packed adventures. Then we can rest assured that Reacher will be on the way to his next destination while eating the most horrific junk food imaginable while effortlessly maintaining those guns. Speaking of which, Alan Ritchson has been narrating a feast on Instagram, and boy, it is a doozy.
The lengthy season finale will almost certainly lead to a third edition of Lumon-based mysteries from Dan Erickson and Ben Stiller, who have openly discussed how they have mapped out multiple future seasons to come. The world of Innies and Outies continues to addict subscribers of Apple TV+, and don’t worry, more will come! In the meantime, enjoy this streaming service’s vast library of content dramatic, comedic, sci-fi, and thriller content.
