After an anticipation-filled week, Latto has released the video for her new song “Sunday Service,” which fans believed to be a diss track aimed at various foes who’ve taken shots at her lately. In the lead-up to the song’s release, Latto made a trip to the Bronx, birthplace of her seeming rival Ice Spice, and released artwork depicting a number of fellow female rappers, including both up-and-coming artists and legends — and Ice was also featured.

All of this led to fans wondering whether Latto disses Ice Spice on the new song, and searching for allusions to their rivalry in its lyrics. Although the track isn’t really a diss song per se, those fans weren’t disappointed to learn that Latto does reserve a couple of lines — and even an ad-lib — for the younger rapper. She starts things off subtly, warning in the chorus, “Every time y’all book me with them hoes, it’s gon’ be big drama,” throwing in Ice’s signature ad-lib “Graaah” just to make clear which hoes to whom she is referring.

But she really squares up in verse two, directly citing Ice Spice’s recent song lashing out at her. “Think I’m the shit? Bitch, I know it, ho / Jesus walked on water, I got ice boilin’ though,” she smirks, addressing Ice’s call-out on “Think U The Sh*t (Fart),” which Ice later admitted was directed at Latto. Meanwhile, in the video, Latto makes it a point to walk into a deli (another Ice Spice reference) to buy a blunt — as in, “rolling up an opp pack,” one of those internet memes that has gone mainstream. Latto claims she didn’t realize “Fart” was about her until Ice admitted it, and even says the video that set Ice off wasn’t even intentional.

Ice isn’t the only one to catch a shot from Latto on “Sunday Service”; she also appears to serve notice to Nicki Minaj with “Do you rap or do you tweet? ‘Cause I can’t tell, get in the booth / Stop all that motherfuckin’ yellin’, ho / ‘Cause I ain’t buyin’ what you’re sellin’, ho.” Notably, fans think Ice Spice’s feud with Latto is merely an extension of Nicki’s, with Nicki using a more age-appropriate proxy to attack Latto since her initial arguments didn’t go over so well.

The Walking Dead spinoff series The Ones Who Live doesn’t premiere until later this month, but already, co-creator Scott Gimple is teasing his ambitious plans for the show that continues the story of Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira). Namely, the mother of all reunions that would bring back Daryl (Norman Reedus), Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), and Maggie (Lauren Cohan).

“There are so many things with this universe that I plan and put together, but I also know that God laughs, and you have to pivot to something else,” Gimple told Variety during The Ones Who Live‘s red carpet premiere. “I absolutely have been working towards that and hoping towards that, but we’ll see what happens. It might be a version of it that no one expects.”

However, Gimple has to first see how The Walking Dead fans react to the new spinoff series that series lead Gurira is touting as “the ultimate love story.”

“This is the apocalypse meets an epic love story, and we didn’t really get a lot of space for that in the mothership because there were so many other stories going on at the same time,” Gurira said. “But this story is all about, does love win out in this world?”

Here’s the official synopsis:

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live presents an epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world. Kept apart by distance. By an unstoppable power. By the ghosts of who they were. Rick and Michonne are thrown into another world, built on a war against the dead… And ultimately, a war against the living. Can they find each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they’ve ever known before? Are they enemies? Lovers? Victims? Victors? Without each other, are they even alive — or will they find that they, too, are the Walking Dead?

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live premieres February 25 on AMC.

This weekend will feature one of the biggest days of Usher’s career, when he takes the field at Super Bowl LVIII for the halftime show. Usher has a number of hits spread throughout his storied career, but he’ll likely have to pass over some of them given the time restraints of the performance. Just how much time will Usher have, though?

How Long Is Usher’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Performance?

Usually, performers are given 13 minutes for their halftime shows. Usher, however, said in a recent Entertainment Tonight interview that he managed to get 15 minutes. He said, “I can’t explain why, but it’s a funny thing that I was able to do and craft. That was a huge strategic thing that happened between me and my agency.”

In the same conversation, he explained that Rihanna’s Super Bowl performance from 2023 was a big inspiration for his, saying, “Rihanna’s was fire because of the choreography and the way they did something that felt like a concert. It actually was a great deal of inspiration [for] how I began to think of my show. If you ever came to my residency, it was all about being immersed — being immersed in an experience that is all of these things that wouldn’t necessarily go together.”

Is there any contemporary actor who’s better at emoting than Lupita Nyong’o? That’s a rhetorical question: there isn’t. Nyong’o can say so much without saying anything at all, as seen in the 30-second Super Bowl spot for A Quiet Place: Day One.

The prequel to 2018’s A Quiet Place and 2020’s A Quiet Place Part II takes place, as you might imagine, on day one of humans having to be silent or else they’ll be ripped apart by monsters. The official synopsis: “Experience the day the world went quiet.” The cast also includes Joseph Quinn (a.k.a. Eddie Munson from Stranger Things), Alex Wolff, Djimon Hounsou (reprising his role from A Quiet Place Part II), and a very good cat.

“When you have a family, there is an innate expectation that they will want to stick together,” Nyong’o told Entertainment Weekly, referring to Emily Blunt & Co. in the first two A Quiet Place films. “We don’t have that in this film. We have these disparate individuals who collide into each other’s lives, and it is at a very pivotal time for the world. How do they negotiate survival together? What we get is really interesting — and even surprising — chemistry in the characters that meet each other along the way.”

A Quiet Place: Day One comes out on June 28.

Houstonian alt-rocker d4vd (pronounced “David”) had an impressive breakout in 2023 with his songs “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me,” which both tapped into Gen Z and Alpha nostalgia for millennial alt-rock aesthetics and turned him into a star with two Interscope EPs. d4vd carries that momentum into a new year with his next release, a double single consisting of “Leave Her” and “2016.”

“Leave Her” is upbeat but mellow and dance floor-ready — like something you’d hear on any given Tuesday on the WB in 1998, probably during a club scene where the underage stars of the show (played by thirty-year-olds) would somehow be inexplicably hanging out. Meanwhile, “2016” is more pop-punk, giving off that vibe of suburban slacker/rebel skating in an empty backyard swimming pool. Think a Sum41 or Offspring video, only slightly more chill. None of this is a bad thing, by the way. I grew up on this stuff. I love this kid so much, even if I was a grown man with bills and a pile of wedding invitations in 2016.

d4vd was added to SZA’s SOS Tour as an opener last summer and it’s clear he’s taken plenty of inspiration from her as a musical mentor. Her own music has begun to employ that millennial nostalgia factor, tapping into that part of 30-year-olds’ brains that wishes we could all go back to being 13 again — y’know, before the housing crisis and 9/11 borked our chances at ever having a normal life. So, yeah, give us more, d4vd — it’s the only thing keeping us going at this point. Thank you for your service.

You can listen to “Leave Her” and “2016” below.

When the first Despicable Me film hit theaters in 2010, nobody expected that those little yellow guys would be the next big thing in meme technology or that moms across the world would suddenly grow so attached to them. But they did, and now the Minions and all of their friends have been reaping the benefits ever since, which is why they have a brand new movie on the way.

The upcoming Despicable Me installment will be the fifth after the events of 2022 launched a weird obsession with the little guys. It was…a time. But now, the whole gang is back for a new adventure. This time, The White Lotus’ Mike White lent his writing talents to the film, so it might get a little whacky. Maybe the Minions will find themselves on a remote Italian island where they discover the wonders of arancini! Or maybe they will die. But hopefully not.

Here is everything to know about the upcoming movie.

Plot

Since they are four movies deep, the only logical way to advance the plot is to add another family member, right? Gru is the new father of Gru Jr., an adorable baby who has an intense disdain for his father. The family of five lives together in harmony…until a new threat emerges and they are forced to go into hiding. Here is the official description:

Following the 2022 summer blockbuster phenomenon of Illumination’s Minions: The Rise of Gru, which earned almost $1 billion worldwide, the biggest global animated franchise in history now begins a new chapter as Gru and Lucy and their girls —Margo, Edith and Agnes —welcome a new member to the Gru family, Gru Jr., who is intent on tormenting his dad.
Gru faces a new nemesis in Maxime Le Mal and his femme fatale girlfriend Valentina and the family is forced to go on the run.

Cast

It wouldn’t be Despicable Me without a few key players: Steve Carrell is back as Gru, the villain-turned-dad, while Kristen Wiig returns as Lucy, his wife. Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier, and Madison Polan are set to return as the kids Margo, Edith, and Agnes, respectively, while Pierre Coffin returns to voice the iconic minions.

Of course, a few fun new voices are entering the mix, including Will Ferrell as the new enemy Maxime Le Mal along with his girlfriend Valentine, voiced by Sofia Vergara. Joey King, Stephen Colbert, and Chloe Fineman also lend their voices to the adventure.

Release Date

Despicable Me 4 hits theaters on July 3rd.

Trailer

The first trailer for the despicable adventure dropped earlier this year. Check it out:

Netflix is attempting to corner the market on flipping successful box office movies into even more enduring and compelling stories. Granted, Amazon is earning dark-horse status with Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Dead Ringers, but Netflix got an early start, and they are keeping that trend going with The Lincoln Lawyer, which is gearing up for a third season (the streaming world can be kind to us, sometimes) after sweeping up the Nielsen charts upon debut and deftly ousting The Witcher with a sophomore outing.

The Netflix series is ultimately based upon Michael Connelly’s book series of the same name. Those books, interestingly enough, also gave the world “F*cking Bosch,” a.k.a. Detective Harry Bosch of his own rapidly expanding Amazon universe (although the Netflix and Amazon shows are not technically connected). Harry is the half-brother of Mickey Haller, the notorious lawyer who prefers running his law practice from the backseat of his Lincoln. There’s less overhead without an office, you know?

As viewers do know, Mickey had to switch course from his preferred practice location in the show, but let’s not get lost in the sticks. Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer has surpassed the 2011 Matthew McConaughey film, and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo now embodies Mickey Haller for the long haul. Let’s talk about what’s going on for the next season.

Plot

Manuel Garcia-Rulfo will once again portray the legal iconoclastic-idealist of the show’s title, and showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez paid tribute to the show’s audience, which “has been so gratifying and wonderful, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to dive back into Michael Connelly’s universe and bring Mickey Haller and his world to the screen again.”

The most-talked about LA Defense attorney will return to the scene of the crime(s) in a third season based upon Connelly’s fifth The Lincoln Lawyer book, The Gods of Guilt. The 2013 novel begins in particularly lawyer-dramatic fashion with Mickey receiving a text message that refers to “187,” which would be the penal code for murder in California. The victim happens to be Mickey’s former client, who is also a former prostitute who returned to that life. Even worse, the allegations might be roundabout-connected to Mickey, who had previously thought that he helped her clean up, but apparently, Mickey could have inadvertently caused her peril via a thread hanging from “the ghosts of his past.” In other words, this case is more than simply personal, it could alternatively redeem or damn him.

Could the TV series differ? Nope, this seems to check out. As Netflix viewers will recall, the second season finale saw Mickey discover the death of Glory Days, and we can expect him to take up that case. Executive producer Ross Fineman has promised, that this is “going to be the toughest case he’s ever had,” and “and there’s a nagging sense that he might have been responsible in some way.”

Additionally, the third season will feature a departure from he book in that it includes Neve Campbell’s character, Maggie (ex-wife of Mickey). She appeared to have left the show in the second season to take a job in San Diego. However, Netflix must have realized that having Campbell back on the scene was good for viewership, so the showrunners decided to include her in flashbacks. As Humphrey and Rodriguez described, these scenes will deliver “some insight into how Mickey Haller became Mickey Haller — not just the brilliant criminal defense lawyer, but the husband, the father, and the man that he would come to be” as well as “propel us into the rest of Season 3.”

Cast

As previously noted, the show has found a way to keep Neve Campbell going. Obviously, Garcia-Rulfo will be back as Mickey, and we can also expect to see Becki Newton (Lorna), Yaya DaCosta (Andrea), Jazz Raycole (Izzy), and Angus Sampson (Cisco) as regulars. Recurring actors include Elliott Gould (Legal Siegal), Krista Warner (Hayley), Devon Graye (Julian La Cosse), and Fiona Rene (Glory Days).

Release Date

The series debuted in May 2022 with a second season arriving in July 2023. Even with the Hollywood strikes in consideration, Netflix is likely to bring the third season before the end of 2024. Filming has been ongoing.

Stick Season (Forever) is out now via Mercury. Find more information here.

On Thursday morning, Nikki Haley tweeted out a campaign video where she blatantly copied the “Mean Tweets” segment from Jimmy Kimmel Live! in an attempt to roast Donald Trump. The late night host was not amused.

During his monologue later that day, Kimmel launched his roasting of Haley by revealing the confusing text message he received after her Twitter video went live. Despite running against Trump, the governor’s name still isn’t immediately recognizable to Kimmel.

“Did you have Haley on the show?” Kimmel said. “It took me a while to figure out what Haley meant. Like Hailey, who, Duff? Haley Joel Osment? I didn’t know.”

However, Kimmel soon saw the video, and he didn’t pull his punches on calling out Haley for blatantly “co-opting” the popular segment.

“She used our bit, our title, our logo, our graphics,” Kimmel said. “She called it Nikki Haley Live. And, worst of all, she added the fakest fake laugh track maybe I’ve ever heard.”

But the late night comedian was just getting started. Via The Daily Beast:

Kimmel was not happy about Haley’s decision to just blatantly rip off his well-known bit—and feels pretty certain that Haley wouldn’t appreciate a similar gesture. So he addressed her directly when he asked: “How would you like it if I launched a disastrous campaign for president?”

“This is why you lost Nevada to ‘None of the Above,’” Kimmel continued.

Kimmel ended the roast by warning Haley that she’d be hearing from his attorney “Rudolph Giuliani.”

Just a month into 2024 and Callum Turner is already having one hell of a year.

The 33-year-old British actor can count the George Clooney-directed sports drama The Boys in the Boat and the Steven Spielberg-produced World War II series, Masters of the Air, amongst his recent on-screen credits. Both roles have earned him praise from critics, thrusting him into the spotlight with Hollywood “It” boys of the moment like Austin Butler and Barry Keoghan – who, coincidentally, serve as his co-stars on the Apple TV+ show.

And, in what may be the most definitive piece of evidence concerning the question of whether Turner has “made it,” he’s now fielding rumors during red carpet walks that he’s in the running to become the next James Bond. (He’s not, that he knows of.)

With his role as Major John “Bucky” Eagan in the Spielberg and Tom Hanks-backed Band of Brothers off-shoot, Turner trades on his physicality, vibrating with barely-contained rage in every scene he’s in. The high-flying bomber pilot is reckless, antagonistic, and ill-equipped to weather the emotional brunt of war, but his heroics in the air and his care for his men weigh the scales.

Uproxx chatted with Turner about his personal connection to the big-budget war series, being a loose cannon on set, and trying to lose his American accent once filming was done.

Was a World War II movie near the top of your acting bucket list?

Not anymore, but it was, for sure. The truth is that my granddad went to war when he was 16 years old, and I grew up on the stories that people would tell about him. I’ve always been fascinated by this moment in history and how miraculously the Allies managed to win and how close we came so many times to losing — how many mistakes got made and how fragile life is. I guess that’s what it represents, how lucky we are that we live in this time. I didn’t know about the Eighth Air Force and I didn’t know about the 100th, and I’m just very grateful that I get to be a part of this story, to shine a light on their legacy.

I always thought it would be the infantrymen who had the toughest time down there on the ground, but actually, it was these guys. They would fly into the face of adversity, into hell, and lose men left, right, and center. What’s exceptional about our show is that we experience that. We go up with them and we see that hell, and we see that pain and we see how outrageous it is, what they had to put themselves through. Only 23% of them make it, which is such a low number. It just blows my mind. And we watch them deal with grief and trauma, the effect that has on their mind, body, and soul.

Your The Boys In The Boat role required a lot from you physically. Did this show challenge you in a similar way?

Absolutely. It’s tight in those planes, it really is. And you’ve got a lot of gear on. You’ve got your flak vest, you’ve got your life jacket, you’ve got your parachute rig. I’m also 6’2″, which is a lot bigger than John Egan. He was wafer thin and I’ve got broad shoulders. It was just an interesting exploration of who this man was. I didn’t want to just bring this idea of John Egan with me. I wanted to find him from within, and that meant being him as much as possible, staying in the accent, drinking loads of whiskey, and dancing and singing as much as possible. I mean, I know it sounds like really hard work.

It does, yeah.

[laughs] It wasn’t. It was a lot of fun. I was lucky enough to be one of the leads of the show with Austin, and I felt the weight of that. I carried that on my shoulders.

Did you learn anything about your leadership style playing Eagan and being one of the leads on this show?

I love the responsibility because you get to work closely with the directors and you get to be there every day. I always describe it as like being on a train. Once the train leaves the station, if you’re already on the train, it’s much easier to stay with it. When you’re playing a supporting part and that train is moving, you’ve got to jump off, and then further down the line, you’ve got to jump back on while it’s still going. I just like the rhythm and the flow of being in it. And 10 months is a long time to shoot something. We had some COVID breaks, our schedules got compressed. [But] I just really loved every second. It was grueling at times, five days a week, sometimes six, and I relished it.

Did that make it harder to come back to the real world when filming was finally done?

What was difficult was leaving the character. I mean, I spoke in an American accent every single day. In 2021, I spoke more in an American accent than my own.

I’m so sorry. That sounds terrible.

[laughs] No, it was so much fun. I went from John Egan to Joe Rantz. I had a month off before I started. Going from playing someone who has a high level of alcohol dependency to someone who is an Olympic rower was a real shock to my system. But I feel like what I get to do is the most special thing on the planet, and I never take it for granted. It truly is like being part of the circus. You can have the most beautiful experiences if you’re lucky.

Over the first few episodes, your character feels a bit unhinged. He’s definitely reckless. Why do you think he acts out in that way?

He’s an extrovert anyway, and he’s dealing with all this grief and trauma and this high-pressure situation. It must just be the most mind-breaking situation for you to be in. I just wanted to let him loose. Everything that I read was that he was this loose cannon, and the 100th was this loose cannon group of people, and I wanted to embrace that.

And then, I think that embracing that side of him meant that when he says, ‘Oh, I want to write the letters to the families of the men who we lost because it’s more of a personal touch,’ it means so much more. Because he’s multifaceted and he’s got a heart. That’s the thing that bonds him and Cleven, they’re both extraordinary pilots and extraordinary men.

How much of those aerial fight scenes, like the one in episode three, are CGI versus real effects?

We had the old-school way of making movies and the new-school way, which was just a beautiful dichotomy. They built 81 buildings — the barracks, the officers’ mess, the clubhouse … it was so big that they gave us a map. You really immerse yourself in that world. It’s like you’re there. You have all these extras, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds, sometimes thousands of extras. And then, you had this thing called the volume, which is the new-school way of doing things and that was the CGI element. It’s a horseshoe of high-definition screens that are wrapped around you while you’re 50 feet in the air on a gimbal in the plane, doing these scenes. And the screen and the gimbal are in sync, so whatever you see, you feel.

I found the etiquette video they made American GIs watch before heading over to England during the war. I heard you watched that as well. Are there any tips that still stand?

It’s hilarious. “Don’t be loud when you go into a pub and don’t be rude.” Just some basic manners there. But what’s important is that that video represented the moment. The Brits didn’t want the Americans there. But by the end of it, we were all brothers in arms. We’d achieved something together.
