Ahead of the release of their debut album, My Apologies To The Chef, Nashville punk band Winona Fighter have released a high-energy new song.

“R U Famous” is about “someone who always tries to see what they can get out of people doing well in their music career,” singer Coco Kinnon said. “I think the term is called a ‘starf*cker’ but I don’t think you can say that in an article haha! But that’s seriously what it’s about. It’s a situation I think unfortunately happens to a lot of up and comers, and something that has happened to us via a person we thought was a friend.” The message might be venomous, but the song itself is sugar-sweet punk.

The video for “R U Famous” was put together by We’re All Gonna Die productions, who “did an amazing job at really bringing our Tony Hawk Pro Skater aesthetic to life,” Kinnon raved. We had so much fun being a couple of Y2K bros for the day but I’m okay never wearing low rise pants ever again… like ever.”

Check out the “R U Famous” video above, while the dates for Winona Fighter’s Yes, Chef Tour can be found below.

Starz’ Outlander, based upon Diana Gabaldon’s time-traveling books, is currently bodice-ripping towards the end of the seventh season. Hopefully, the wait for the eighth and final season (still starring Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan as Claire and Jamie Fraser) won’t lead to another “Droughtlander,” or fans could get rowdy, but there will be distractions to tide viewers over. Those include Sam Heughan’s thriller series that debuts this month, and a potential spin off could still happen with Lord John Grey.

Sooner than a possible John Grey adventure, however, Outlander universe will go back in time again to before Jamie and Claire were born. Let’s talk about what has been unveiled so far about the Blood Of My Blood prequel.

Plot

Diana Gabaldon has been very hands-on with the writing process on this show, and she had a blast. In fact, Gabaldon told Collider how this series was “so much easier than writing novels.” She further explained how Blood Of My Blood isn’t based on an existing book but, rather, “based on the synopsis of the first” book (out of three) that she has material for on Jamie’s parents. For the past few years as well, Gabaldon has been providing slight updates on those books as well as the in-process tenth Outlander novel, but it’s probably safe to assume that Blood Of My Blood will arrive far ahead of those future books.

As a limited prequel series, Blood Of My Blood will run for 10 episodes and will be set in Europe at various ancestral stomping grounds with the following logline: “The series will center on these two parallel love stories set in two different time periods, with Jamie’s parents in the early 18th-century Scottish Highlands and Claire’s parents in WWI England.”

Additionally, TV Line has noted that the casting of Sara Vickers points toward a housekeeper character who takes their name from Davina Porter who voices the Outlander audiobooks. This trivia ties into a source of Jamie’s trepidation:

In a Season 2 episode of the TV adaptation, an ashamed Jamie confesses to Claire that his father was an acknowledged bastard of Lord Lovat; he apologizes for not having the courage to tell her the truth before their wedding.

Vickers’ character will actually be retconned into the story as Jamie’s paternal grandmother who doesn’t appear in the Outlander books but is mentioned in The Outlandish Companion, which sure feels like a full circle moment.

Cast

Starz hasn’t revealed whether we will see flashes of future Jamie and Claire interspersed throughout this prequel series. However, their parents will be portrayed by Hermione Corfield and Jeremy Irvine ^^^ (on the Claire side) along with Harriet Slater and Jamie Roy (on the Jamie side), below.

Rounding out the cast will be Sara Vickers, Jocasta Cameron, Brian McCardie, Terence Rae, Jhon Lumsden, Annabelle Dowler, Peter Mullan, Harry Eaton, Sally Messham, Ailsa Davidson, and Sadhbh Malin.

Release Date

Outlander‘s eighth season wrapped over the fall, and Starz hasn’t revealed that finale season’s release date or whether Blood Of My Blood will air before or after the flagship series concludes.

Trailer

Since no trailer exists yet, this is a wonderful place to watch a trailer for Sam Heughan’s next series, The Couple Next Door. He’s in suburbia, so presumably, no kilts shall be worn:

Since its inception, hip-hop has been filled with crews. Over the decades, the music collectives have become an encapsulation of each era. For New York City’s 2010s wave, no group embodied that more than the ASAP Mob. However, with its two most notable rappers (ASAP Rocky and Ferg) focusing on their solo ventures and with no new collaborations in sight, the group could have quietly disbanded.

During a recent interview, Ferg sat down to share some heartbreaking news.

Did ASAP Mob Break Up?

When asked about the current status of the ASAP Mob, Ferg confirmed to Touré that their time was through. So, according to Ferg, yes, the ASAP Mob did break up.

In his appearance on the Touré Show (viewable here), Ferg revealed that their split was due to their professional pursuits.

“I don’t think there is ASAP anymore,” he said when answering if he’s still a member. “I think it is a thing of the past. From the music point, you think about like me and Rocky — who did [release] music and all of that. It was built off the back of Bari and Yams, but we are the faces.”

He continued: “If we not making no music [together] and putting out no new timestamps, then there is no ASAP.”

Supporters drew this conclusion when Ferg dropped the ASAP prefix from his stage name back in May 2024. Still, fans are saddened after receiving his official confirmation.

Mercifully, the 2024 NFL regular season has come to an end. While the nation remains captivated by the NFL on a weekly basis, it was (by far) the worst season in the history of this column, which began in 2017. As you will see below, it was carnage from a win-loss perspective but, hey, we did win in Week 17 and Week 18.

Nevertheless, we move on to the playoffs with a busy Wild Card slate beginning on Saturday. But first, the aforementioned carnage.

• Week 18: 3-2
• 2025 Season: 36-52-2

Come get these winners.

Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers UNDER 42.5 points — FanDuel, Caesars

The Texans are back in their usual Saturday afternoon time slot on Wild Card weekend, and they’re joined by a Chargers team that enjoyed a strong season under Jim Harbaugh. Naturally, I expect some grind-it-out, tough-to-watch football and, honestly, I’d enjoy it. Houston’s offense has highly underwhelmed this season, but the Texans have quietly been stout on defense. Los Angeles is often content to play low-scoring, ugly games. Bring on the punts.

Houston Texans (+3) over Los Angeles Chargers — Widely Available

This is simply a principle play when this got to 3. My confidence level in Houston’s offense is quite low, but nabbing the full field goal at home with a total in the low 40’s is pretty appealing. Does it actually matter that playoff underdogs are 52-34 ATS since 2017? Or that underdogs are 24-12 in the Wild Card round during that span? Maybe not, but I don’t hate it.

Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers UNDER 43.5 points — Widely Available

Would it have been better to grab this at 45.5 or higher early in the week? Well, yes. But the column comes out when the column comes out, and I can’t give you a number that no longer exists. The danger here is that Lamar and the Ravens might find fifth gear and put up 30-plus points on their own. But I do tend to trust Pittsburgh’s defense, and the absence of Zay Flowers does make life a bit more difficult for the Ravens to be explosive.

TEASER: Buffalo Bills (-2.5) over Denver Broncos AND Los Angeles Rams (+8.5) over Minnesota Vikings — Caesars, DraftKings, FanDuel

I wouldn’t love laying 8.5 points with Buffalo against a very strong Denver defense, but I do think the Bills advance and we love a good Wong teaser through two key numbers. On the other side, I think Matthew Stafford and company can keep this within one score, even amid the heartbreaking circumstances that have moved this game to Arizona.

Green Bay Packers (+5) over Philadelphia Eagles — Widely Available

Green Bay has six losses this season, but five of them are by five points or less. That includes a five-point loss to Philly in Week 1 but, of course, much has changed since then. Jordan Love is expected to go and, while Jalen Hurts will likely play, he’s been out of action for a while and could be rusty. This isn’t a game I’d give out on a normal, full slate, but I lean to the Packers.

Travis Scott is open to rumbling in the wrestling ring. However, one person is ready to deliver the smack down in the court of law. Today (January 10), reports reveal that the “Fein” rapper could be soon duke it out over one of his recent tracks.

In documents obtained by Billboard, Travis Scott, SZA, and Future have been accused of intellectual property theft. The three entertainers are named in a copyright lawsuit that claims their Utopia collaboration “Telekinesis” was stolen from other musician.

Roc Nation singer-songwriter Victory Boyd claims the lyrics and melodies heard in her 2019 song “Like the Way It Sounds” were incorporated into “Telekinesis” without authorization. Boyd went on to allege that her former Jesus Is King collaborator Kanye West played a role in the intellectual property theft.

Boyd says she “shared her song” with Ye, he then turned around and recorded his own version after which he presented it to Scott, SZA, and Future. Still, West is not named as a defendant in the case.

Boyd is credited as a co-writer on the track but only as a friendly gesture from Scott. Boyd’s lawyers claim that she was privately offered an 8-percent writing credit in an attempt to resolve the copyright dispute after she expressed his dissatisfaction with Scott’s alleged actions.

Representatives for neither Scott, SZA, nor Future have released a statement regarding the matter.

The January supply of new TV seasons is not lacking. That includes shows on Apple TV+, where Severance will finally return after three years. Will this season be worth the gap? Critics overwhelmingly say so, and Adam Scott has predicted that the upcoming season finale will be met with thirst for a third season, but c’mon guys, let’s not wait three more years on that one. Please?

When Does Severance Season 2 Premiere On Apple TV+?

Mark, Helly, Irving, and Dylan will be back in the office on Friday, January 17 with one episode. From there, the season will have a total ten weekly episodes that will conclude on March 21. Will there be dancing, though? There had better be some moves from Milchick, at least.

This season will follow up on the Innies’ going rogue in their Outies’ world, and teasers have suggested that Milchick will be even more passive-aggressive in the aftermath of their attempted whistleblowing spree. The goats will be back, too, and new characters will be portrayed by Alia Shawkat, Merritt Wever, and Gwendoline Christie. We are truly blessed with an abundance of the latter on streaming TV. The Game of Thrones actress will also be seen in The Sandman‘s second season, and do not count her out (as Christie has suggested) when Wednesday returns. For now, though, it’s almost Party Down time at Lumon.

The Weeknd has a “new everything” coming out in 2025. A new movie. A new tour. A new album. And maybe a new identity.

Ahead of the release of Hurry Up Tomorrow, billboards started popping up reading “The End Is Near,” written in different fonts representing Abel Tesfaye’s different eras as The Weeknd. He also wrote “8 beautiful chapters in this story” on social media. When asked by Variety if he’s ending the After Hours trilogy (which consists of 2020’s After Hours, 2022’s Dawn FM, and the upcoming Hurry Up Tomorrow) or his identity as The Weeknd, music’s biggest concept artist replied, “I would say my existence as The Weeknd.”

He continued, “It’s a headspace I’ve gotta get into that I just don’t have any more desire for. I feel like it comes with so much… You have a persona, but then you have the competition of it all. It becomes this rat race: more accolades, more success, more shows, more albums, more awards, and more No. 1s. It never ends until you end it.”

Tesfaye isn’t done making music, per se, but “everything needs to feel like a challenge. And for me right now, The Weeknd, whatever that is, it’s been mastered. No one’s gonna do The Weeknd better than me, and I’m not gonna do it better than what it is right now. I think I’ve overcome every challenge as this persona, and that’s why I’m really excited about this film, because I love this challenge.”

Hurry Up Tomorrow is out January 24.

Has The Bear won a lot of awards? Yes Chef.

The latest additions to the FX show’s trophy case includes Outstanding Lead Actor (Jeremy Allen White), Outstanding Supporting Actor (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), Outstanding Supporting Actress (Liza Colón-Zayas), and Outstanding Directing (creator Christopher Storer), all from the Emmys, as well as Best Actor – Television Series Musical or Comedy for the Golden Globes (Allen White) and pending nominations at the Critics’ Choice Television Awards, Directors Guild of America Awards, and Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The awards stockpiling will likely continue once The Bear returns for season 4, which should be sooner rather than later.

Here’s everything we know about the upcoming season.

Plot

Just to refresh your memory: The Bear season 3 ended with Carmy confronting Chef Joel McHale at Michelin-starred Ever; Sydney having a panic attack while throwing a party at her place; and Richie reuniting with Jessica, who previously appeared in the best episode of the show. The final shot of the season shows Carmy walking down the street when the review of The Bear hits the Chicago Tribune. “Motherf*cker,” he exclaims before looking upwards.

Will season 4 pick up from there?

It’s unclear, as plot details are scarce. We do know, however, that both seasons weren’t filmed at the same time, at least not entirely (it sounds like some of season 4 is in the can). That was the original idea since stars Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach have packed shooting schedules with other projects, but according to The Playlist, “the plan was scrapped as [season 4] scripts weren’t ready in time.” The expectation is that season 4 will resume filming in “February/March time.”

You know Carmy is going to be a sad sack whenever The Bear is back (we get it, you love Claire, jeez), but what about Cousin? “I know where he’s going,” Moss-Bachrach told Rolling Stone about Richie. “I think there’s a lot of things that happen in the third season… seeds planted in the third season that really come to bloom in the fourth season. I think it will be a very, very exciting, chaotic, cathartic season, and yeah, I guess I’ll just leave it there.”

As for whether season 4 will be the final season, here’s what FX honcho John Landgraf had to say about that:

We really don’t know. These decisions are really creative decisions. It was Sterlin Harjo who made a decision that Rez Dogs was a three-season series. And so it’s really Chris [Storer’s] decision on The Bear. It’s about, how much more story does he have to tell? I mean, obviously, I’m hoping he has more than one more season of story to tell. But not to the extent that if there was one great season or three mediocre ones, I’d rather have one great one. You just have to follow the creative.

Landgraf also confirmed to Variety that The Bear will stick with the all-at-once binge model rather than weekly episodes. “Unfortunately, you can’t get to everything for every one of your fans, every one of your consumers that they want,” he said. “I wish I could take the request from every fan of The Bear and give them just the version of it that they want and if they want it weekly, I wish I could give it to them weekly. But I think the show itself that Chris makes is designed to be consumed as a season in many ways.”

Cast

Unless a certain Fantastic Four actor decides to go method and starts clobberin’ his co-stars, the entire main cast from season 3 will be back. That includes Jeremy Allen White as Carmy, Ayo Edebiri as Sydney, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richie, Lionel Boyce as Marcus, Liza Colón-Zayas as Tina, Abby Elliott as Natalie, Matty Matheson as Neil Fak, Oliver Platt as “Uncle,” and, more likely than not, Molly Gordon as Claire. Might we see Jamie Lee Curtis again, too? If she wants another Emmy, then, yes, definitely.

Release Date

The Bear appeared in Disney+’s “Coming In 2025” sizzle reel, so while no exact date has been announced, season 4 will premiere sometime this year. Most likely “sometime summery,” according to Edebiri.

Trailer

Here’s that aforementioned 2025 preview:

Sticks and stones may break Julia Michaels’ bones, but she has a secret weapon of her own. The “Weird” singer won’t allow heartbreak to hold her back.

On Michaels’ new single “Scissors,” she enlists the help of Maren Morris to take a stab back at the stinging pain of a lost love. “You wanna say goodbye, I’m not crying rivers / If you wanna cut ties, I’ll get the scissors, baby / I don’t mind, I’m not even bitter / If you wanna cut ties, I’ll get the scissors, baby,” sings Michaels.

As a fairly recent divorcée, Morris seemingly pulled from her own romantic history when she sang: “You should know about me / When it comes to lovers, I’m not repetitious / I know I look it, but I’m not that precious / You don’t have to stay the second we get finished so.”

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Michaels opened up about the track’s inspiration. “‘Scissors’ is a funny way of saying that I’m unbothered,” she said. “My skin is thick. I’m not pressed if someone wants to leave. Half the time I don’t want them to stay either.”

Michaels and Morris aren’t held back by heartache: Instead, they used it to craft yet another anti-heartbreak anthem.

Lily Allen is opening up amid rumors that she and her husband of five years, Stranger Things star David Harbour, are getting divorced.

On this week’s episode of the Miss Me? podcast, the singer told co-host Miquita Oliver that she’s “finding it hard to be interested in anything… I’m really not in a good place. I know I’ve been talking about it for months, but I’ve been spiraling and spiraling and spiraling and it’s got out of control.”

Allen also shut down speculation that Harbour found her in a “crack den.”

“I do want to reassure people, because there will be speculation because of the amount of time that I’m going to be taking away that I’m going to drug rehab, and I’m not,” she said, according to BuzzFeed. “I’ve not relapsed. There’ve been some horrible blind items on the internet about me being found by my husband in a crack den being surrounded by men. I don’t know who’s spreading these vicious rumors, but that’s not true.”

Allen reportedly caught Harbour using celebrity dating app Raya, leading to their alleged separation. “Lily has never even looked at anyone since she met David,” a source told The Daily Mail. “She is devastated. He broke up with Lily a month ago. He was meant to be on holiday with her in Kenya over Christmas.”
