Time, as the man once said, is a flat circle. Everything we’ve ever done or will do, we’re gonna do over and over again.

Case in point: Snoop Dogg is once again sharing photos with Kurt Cobain. The last time he did so was in 2019 when he posted a recently resurfaced photo of himself and the Nirvana frontman hanging out in 1992. There was just one problem: The photo was fake, and Snoop had been fooled by a clever PhotoShop job by an Instagram user, Vemix, whose whole bit is pairing celebrity photos.

Today, Snoop posted another photo with himself and Cobain, this time, with the addition of Dr. Dre. Once again, though, it seems Snoop was the victim of yet another PhotoShop by Vemix. Snoop apparently thought the pic was real yet again, captioning the photo “Throwbac.” Incidentally, it is mostly real: The photo was from the 1994 American Music Awards, however, it didn’t originally feature Cobain. Instead, it featured the photographer Ron Wolfson’s son, Ryan, whose face Vemix replaced with Kurt’s. Wolfson noted the change in Snoop’s comments, but the Doggfather has yet to acknowledge the comment.

Interestingly enough, Snoop previously posted the original photo, which Wolfson reposted onto his own page back in 2021. I’ll give you three guesses as to why Snoop doesn’t remember.

Out of respect for Wolfson’s copyrights, you can check out Snoop’s erroneous post here and the original photo here.

Keri Russell was sorely missed on the small screen since FX’s The Americans headed off into the anxiety-ridden sunset and many years after J.J. Abrams killed a show‘s appeal with a haircut. However, there’s never enough intrigue or espionage for the TV streaming audience, and since there’s plenty of Dad shows to fit that bill, it certainly was a fine idea to have Russell star in a shot for the ladies.

At least, The Diplomat ended up being a variation on that intrigue theme, and with a delicious twist, Russell’s U.S. Ambassador to the U.K. (Kate Wyler) has more than enough personal-life road bumps to complicate the plot even more. As viewers are aware, Kate is married to another career diplomat, Hal Wyler (portrayed by Rufus Sewell), and their relationship is anything but simple. However, a cliffhanger ending for the first season put Hal’s life in question, and the second season has a key addition to the cast — an actor with fitting TV experience and whose presence is sure to make this project more layered.

Here is everything we know so far about The Diplomat season two.

Plot

Creator Debora Cahn (Homeland, The West Wing) knows how to parcel out stories for an untold number of seasons, so that’s a good indication that Kate Wyler’s streaming tenure will last for the long haul. Additionally, Cahn will be bringing another The West Wing alum, Allison Janney, into the fold as Vice President Grace Penn. We’ve heard plenty about Penn already from other characters, and Janney should add to the slippery dynamics that already exist. Perhaps we should feel intimidated while waiting for her arrival.

The second season will obviously follow up on that explosion in the first season finale, and we will find out the fates of Hal along with multiple other characters including Ato Essandoh’s Stuart Hayford. Cahn admitted to Tudum that she wanted to leave the audience clamoring to find out what was coming next, and she also wanted to put both professional and personal relationship into question with “in one event that splits apart all at the same time.” Likewise, Russell was pumped by the virtually overnight series renewal: “I am thrilled to be headed back for another round of this smart screwball show. Dare I say it’s fun?”

And dare we say that, as incredible as Rufus Sewell is as an actor, putting Kate into a new solo dynamic without Hal’s career interference would be fun, too? Yes.

Cast

Keri Russell shall return as Kate Wyler, who will keep navigating her personal and professional lives and perhaps win the Golden Globe or Emmy for the next round. As mentioned already, sheer force of nature, Allison Janey, has been added to the mix, and probably expect to see Rory Kinnear back for more political shenanigans. And Rufus Sewell, too? That depends on how that explosion treated Hal, but it did not look fantastic.

Release Date

Netflix fast-tracked a second season, which is planned for a 2024 arrival. Precisely when that happens shall remain a mystery for now, but given that this series doesn’t rely on complex FX or dragons or anything, that’s a good sign that we shall see the story resume before end of year.

Trailer

We aren’t lucky enough to see a trailer yet, but there is no time like always to rewatch these anxiety-provoking moments from The Americans. (Or better yet, go rewatch it on Hulu while waiting for more of The Diplomat.

A fun end-of-year tradition most music streaming services have is a recap of everything users listened to over the previous 12 months. The bummer about it, though, is that it only comes once a year. Starting in early 2024, though, Apple Music introduced a monthly version of its Replay feature, so users can get data on their listening habits year-round.

If you’re an Apple Music user who would like to know how to use the new monthly Replay, read on.

How To See Your Apple Music Recap For January 2024

The process is pretty simple: visit replay.music.apple.com, log in with your Apple ID, and there you go.

As for what the new Replay feature offers, an Apple Music support page explains:

• “Get insights every month: Once you’re eligible, you can see your top songs, artists, and albums every month based on play count and time spent listening. And you can see any milestones you’ve reached listening to music.
• See your year-end Replay: At the end of the calendar year, you can see your top songs, artists, albums, genres, playlists, and stations, along with play counts, totals, and the time that you’ve spent listening to them.
• Play your year-end highlight reel: Celebrate your year in music with an audio and visual recap of the music that you listened to the most.
• Share insights: Tap the Share button to share your personalized listening insights in a message and on social media.”

The latest John Wick spinoff Ballerina has had quite a tough time getting out of the gate after a series of reshoots, and it was revealed this week that the film is being delayed until June 2025. It might seem sad, but it’s important to remember that the longer it’s delayed, the longer Keanu Reeves can play Wick, and that seems worth it.

The upcoming installment stars Ana de Armas as Rooney, a ballerina who seeks revenge on those who murdered her family. The story is penned by Shay Hatten, who wrote John Wick: Chapter 3, and Saltburn‘s Emerald Fennell also contributed to the story, so there could very well be some weird stuff to look forward to.

Ian McShane, who plays Winston in the franchise, shared an update on The One Show, revealing that the whole movie is being retooled to blend in with the universe. “It’s not reshoots, its new shoots,” McShane explained.

“The new shooting for Ballerina, which is the spinoff with Ana de Armas of the John Wick franchise… you know, it’s like, they’ve got to protect the franchise,” he explained, adding that Wick director Chad Stahelski has joined the project to make it even bigger and better. “It was about a year ago that we did the movie Ballerina. They’ve looked at it, and Chad’s come in, the guy who directed all the John Wick movies, and they want to make it better. Keanu’s in it as well. It takes place between John Wick 3 and John Wick 4,” he confirmed.

Even though we have to wait longer for this film to hit theaters, it seems like it will be worth the wait, unlike The Continental, Peacock’s disastrous prequel series. McShane also confirmed that he had nothing to do with the show. “Why would I have seen it? They never asked anybody about it. They just went and did it. Both Keanu and I went: ‘I don’t know, nobody ever asked us about it!’” To his credit, it seems like a lot of people did not see it.

Maybe the lesson here is that nothing Wick-related should ever be made without consulting Keanu, Chad, and the many prestigious dog actors involved.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

If their latest interactions have told us anything, it’s the rivalry between The Rock and Triple H hasn’t diminished in the 20 years since they last officially mixed it up in the squared circle.

Their iconic rivalry will be the focal point in the first episode of this season’s “WWE Rivals” on A&E, where fans will watch from the ring to behind the scenes as actor and former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. leads a roundtable discussion with Kevin Owens, Johnny Gargano, and John Bradshaw Layfield through the twists and turns that follow their parallel paths to the top.

Check out an exclusive first look at what you can expect as part of Sunday’s episode:

The Rock and Triple H’s rivalry has taken many forms over the years, starting in a mid-card battle for the Intercontinental crown, a fierce rivalry between The Nation of Domination and D-Generation X, and eventually making its way to the main event scene, where they became two of WWE’s top stars who competed for the promotion’s most coveted prize. The episode’s timing couldn’t be more perfect as that rivalry has continued even in recent weeks with both former opponents as executives of TKO, where their onscreen struggles for power have taken center stage while WrestleMania plans come to fruition.

“WWE Rivals” premieres Sunday, February 25 at 8 p.m. ET on A&E alongside the “Biography: WWE Legends” series.

On Thursday morning, thousands of AT&T customers woke up to the discovery that their phones were now in SOS mode because of a massive outage affecting the wireless provider. Soon, social media began filling up with reports that other cell phone providers like Verizon and Cricket were also experiencing outages (they were, but very minimally), which sparked a wave of reactions that the country was now in a Leave the World Behind type situation.

The Netflix film centered on a cyberattack that began its first phase by taking down cell phone networks to isolate the populace. However, the Leave the World Behind jokes suddenly took a dark turn when reports started coming in that both the FBI and Department of Homeland Security were investigating the outage and demanding answers.

Was the outage a cyberattack after all? Not so much. According to AT&T, the real cause of the outage was a different, but not surprising culprit: A software update.

Via ABC News:

AT&T told ABC News in a statement ABC News that the outage was not a cyberattack but caused by “the application and execution of an incorrect process used as we were expanding our network.”

“We are continuing our assessment of today’s outage to ensure we keep delivering the service that our customers deserve,” the statement continued.

Despite all of the Leave the World Behind memes, AT&T wants everyone to know that the outage was a simple software screw-up and not a “nefarious or malicious” event caused by an “external actor.”

In layman’s terms, the bloops didn’t bleep right, and that’s why you couldn’t text on the can yesterday. Mystery solved.

Do you hear the faint sound of haunting melodies and fighting vacationers? The White Lotus is finally back! Almost.

Season three of Mike White’s HBO dramedy is set to begin production this month in Thailand, where we will join a new handful of unsuspecting guests as they experience a culture shock, family drama, and maybe some murder? Who knows with this hotel chain, they already have quite the reputation.

While we don’t know much, we can piece together some clues as to what to expect from the new season. Season two was an award magnet, so we can only expect bigger and brighter things to come. Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming season of The White Lotus.

Plot

Plot details are sparse, but we do know that season three will take place in Thailand. “The first season kind of highlighted money, and then the second season is sex,” White told Deadline in 2022. “I think the third season would be maybe a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality. It feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at White Lotus.”

While we don’t know the specifics, we do know that Natasha Rothwell will be returning as Belinda from season one, and she confirmed in December that she had read the scripts. “I gasped out loud a minimum of five times and this was just me reading them,” Rothwell told Variety. “The scripts are a testament to Mike’s skill and ability to tell the most smart and entertaining stories. I mean, everything that he does is like a lesson to me as an actor and a performer. And as a writer myself, he takes folks on a journey. Everyone needs to buckle up, because it’s going to get real!”

Cast

In typical White Lotus fashion, season three will be packed with stars: Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon Walton Goggins, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jason Isaacs, Dom Hetrakul, Michelle Monaghan, Parker Posey, Tayme Thapthimthong, Sam Nivola, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Aimee Lou Wood are all confirmed for the upcoming season. Most recently, Blackpink’s Lisa was cast in her debut acting role.

Release Date

Production on the third season reportedly began this month, so it will be quite some time until we get a proper release date. HBO confirmed in November 2023 that season three won’t air until 2025.

However, season two began filming in February 2022 for an October 2022 release, so it’s very possible that the third season could premiere this fall, though White confirms that this season is a bigger project, so it could take more time. He told Entertainment Weekly, “It’s going to be a supersized White Lotus. It’s going to be longer, bigger, crazier. I don’t know what people will think, but I am super excited, so at least for my own barometer, that’s a good thing.”

Trailer

There is no trailer yet, but we can hope/expect some footage at some point this summer. Until then, here is a Jennifer Coolidge compilation for good measure.

Before unhinged Twitter rants were a thing or hours long or Instagram Live streams became a regular occurrence, musicians settled their beef in the booth. This age-old practice is synonymous with Taylor Swift’s discography. From ex-lovers to former business acquaintances, no one is off limits for a Swift song.

Sadly for Katy Perry, her rumored fallout with Swift has been etched in pop music history thanks to the chart-topping track “Bad Blood.” But just as Perry is letting go of her position at American Idol, she appears to have released her supposed tension with Swift. On February 22, Perry was spotted at Swift’s The Era Tour stop in Sydney, Australia, dancing and singing along to the diss track reportedly aimed at her.

In the videos captured by a concertgoer as Perry seemingly tried to fight the urge, she eventually gave in to the irresistible bop (which features Kendrick Lamar).

During a 2014 interview with Rolling Stone, Swift first shared the Easter eggs that Perry was the intended target of her songwriting pen. In the chat, Swift confessed that “Bad Blood” wasn’t about a man but rather “another female pop star who tried to sabotage a tour by hiring personnel from under her.”

The Swifties quickly turned their attention to Perry, who didn’t make it any better after posting, “Watch out for the Regina George in sheep’s clothing,” on X (formerly Twitter).

Lil Yachty’s been on quite the tear lately, going way out of his way that he can make any kind of music with any kind of collaborator. From straightforward rap bangers with the likes of J. Cole and Drake to more experimental collaborations with James Blake and Gus Dapperton, Yachty has been on a one-man mission to prove he’s the hero hip-hop needs to pull it out of its “terrible state.” After showing off his rap chops on the more traditionalist “A Cold Sunday,” Yachty smashes together noise rap and dubstep on “Something Ether,” a glitchy, industrial banger sure to turn those traditionalists against him but garner an even wider variety of rage-ready fans.

That all this comes after his alt-rock album, Let’s Start Here, feels a little like evidence that Yachty really is underrated by… well… everyone. Refusing to be boxed into any single category, he effortlessly slips between lanes, genres, and personas, going from spitting cavalier punchlines with Michigan’s rising stars to crooning along to Joy Division-inspired easy rockers played by his all-woman band. At some point, we’re going to have to start mentioning him with the same reverence as those above collaborators; all he needs is one big commercial hit and the narrative will definitely start rolling. “Something Ether” probably won’t be that hit, but stranger things have happened.

Watch Lil Yachty’s “Something Ether” video above.
