Over the past few years, 88rising’s Head In The Clouds festival has become the premiere music festival for Asian talent in the US. Today, the label announced the dates for the festival’s return to New York: Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12. The festival will return to Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York City, with headliners Joji and (G)I-DLE. Tickets go on presale on Friday, February 9 at 10 am ET. The general sale begins Monday, February 12 at 10 am ET. You can pre-register for the presale and find more information here.
Head In The Clouds launched last year in New York after four successful editions of the flagship Los Angeles event, which 88rising created in 2018 to highlight Asian talent like Rich Brian, Joji, and other stars from across the globe. Last year’s New York iteration of the festival was headlined by Rich Brian and Niki, with performances from rising stars like Beabadoobee, Milli, Raveena, P-Lo, and more.

Every week, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated February 10, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.
10. SZA — “Snooze”
“Snooze” was released as a single back in April 2023, and it’s had an impressive chart run. It’s just barely hanging onto the top 10 now after dipping from No. 9 last week.
9. 21 Savage — “Redrum”
Savage did the ol’ switcheroo with SZA’s hit single, leaping from No. 10 to No. 9, two weeks after debuting in the No. 5 spot.
8. Benson Boone — “Beautiful Things”
TikTok really is helping form the future of music: Boone gained popularity on the platform and now he has his first top-10 single with “Beautiful Things” which debuted on the chart at No. 15 last week.
7. Doja Cat — “Agora Hills”
Doja’s “Agora Hills” is hanging strong, matching its previous high at No. 7 this week. Now, about that face tattoo…
Bryan and Musgraves’ hit continues to dominate the charts: Aside from No. 6 on the Hot 100, it’s No. 1 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, the Hot Rock Songs chart (for the 23rd week for both), and the Hot Country Songs chart (19 weeks).
5. Tate McRae — “Greedy”
A lot of songs have been sticking around the top 10 for weeks now, and that includes “Greedy,” which remains just a few spots off its previous high at No. 3.
4. Teddy Swims — “Lose Control”
Like Boone, Swims recently landed his first top-10 single. “Lose Control” reached a new high of No. 4 last week, and that’s where it remains this frame.
3. Taylor Swift — “Cruel Summer”
“Cruel Summer” continues to dominate, but get ready for a new crop of Swift songs to charge up the Hot 100 soon.
2. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”
Harlow had four weeks at No. 1 with “Lovin On Me,” including a chart-topping stint last week. Now, though, we have a new Hot 100 champion.
1. Megan Thee Stallion — “Hiss”
Megan is No. 1 with her new single “Hiss,” which is bound to upset a number of people, as the diss track goes after some of her fellow artists. “Hiss” is Meg’s third chart topper, following “Savage” and “WAP,” with “Hiss” being Meg’s first solo No. 1.
Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Daniel Radcliffe made enough money from the Harry Potter movies that he can pick roles for fun, no matter how small or weird. A farting corpse? Sure! A mastermind in a movie about magicians who pull off heists? You bet. “Weird Al” Yankovic? Buddy, you know it. That last one even got nominated for an Emmy. Radcliffe hasn’t done as much small screen work — outside of Miracle Workers, which did an extended Mad Max: Fury Road homage in its fourth and final season — but he’s being recruited for one of the best sitcoms on TV.
During a discussion for Entertainment Weekly‘s Around the Table series, Abbott Elementary creator and star Quinta Brunson revealed that she pitched the idea of Radcliffe playing the son of school janitor, Mr. Johnson.
“I love Daniel Radcliffe. He’s a very good, sweet guy, and a friend of mine. For some reason in the room we were like, what if Daniel Radcliffe was Mr. Johnson’s son? And there’s no rhyme or reason. It’s so dumb. And not like Daniel Radcliffe as somebody, like Daniel Radcliffe is Mr. Johnson’s son,” she explained.
The idea never went anywhere (not yet at least), but Radcliffe has expressed interest in starring in a romantic-comedy with Brunson. A rom-com with Daniel Radcliffe and Quinta Brunson sounds more magical than anything in the Harry Potter movies.
Abbott Elementaryreturns for season three on February 7.
With Cillian Murphy racking up nominations for his starring role in Oppenheimer, the actor has been working the awards circuit to discuss the Christopher Nolan film as well as his breakout performance in 28 Days Later. Director Danny Boyle recently announced that a direct sequel, 28 Years Later, is being developed, and that led to Murphy being asked about his role in the 2002 zombie film while taking part in a recent SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s Conversations event.
Murphy had nothing but positive things to say about 28 Days Later, and most particularly, his co-star Brendan Gleeson. At the time, Gleeson was a celebrated Irish actor. However, Murphy wasn’t nervous to work with Gleeson on the zombie film because the two had actually met years earlier when the young actor got his jitters out of the way on the set of Sweety Barrett.
“I remember on that film I had to pour him a pint of Guinness. My hand was shaking,” Murphy recalled, demonstrating how shaky his hands were. “But he was so kind. I was just a kid, but he would spend the time and talk to you. I think that shows the measure of the man. I’ve worked with him five or six times now and he’s one of my all-time heroes and the kindest, sweetest man – and an absolute legend.”
As for the big question of whether Murphy will return for 28 Years Later, which he’s now credited as an executive producer on, the actor gave a very coy answer: “I’m available.”
When it comes to warming, winter beers, there’s no beating the appeal of a well-made whiskey (usually bourbon) barrel-aged stout. They’ve been a cold weather staple ever since Goose Island’s brewmaster Greg Hall decided to mature a stout in an ex-Jim Beam barrel way back in 1992. They are usually fairly high in alcohol (11-14% ABV) and loaded with flavors like coffee, caramel, chocolate, and warming, oaky, boozy whiskey. What’s not to love on a chilly winter night?
In the decades since it was first created, many breweries have tried their hand and emulating the aromas and flavors of Goose Island Bourbon County Stout. While that beer is still extremely popular, there are also myriad other well-made, flavorful whiskey barrel-aged stouts available today.
We found eight of the best options available at beer stores and markets today. Most are available all over the place and many are from some of the most well-known breweries in the country. We ranked them on overall flavor and warming ability. Keep scrolling to see if your favorite bourbon barrel-aged stouts made the cut.
While many well-known barrel-aged stouts are matured in ex-bourbon barrels, Rogue Ales Rolling Thunder is aged for a full nine months in Rolling Thunder Barrel Works barrels that once held Rogue Dead Guy Whiskey. It’s brewed with 2-row malts, Munich malts, black malt, rolled oats, naked oats, chocolate malts, roasted barley, C-75 malts, cacao nibs, rice hulls, brown sugar, dark Belgian candi syrup, Pacman yeast, and Cascade hops.
Tasting Notes:
There’s a ton of whiskey on the nose as well as chocolate fudge, roasted malts, dried fruits, oak, and caramel. The palate is loaded with toasted vanilla beans, cocoa powder, coffee beans, caramel, and warming, boozy whiskey at the finish.
Bottom Line:
If you want to try barrel-aged stout that was matured in a whiskey besides bourbon, this is the beer for you.
We don’t know what actual dragon’s milk tastes like, but we assume it must be something like this beer. This 11% ABV stout was matured for at least three months in former bourbon casks. It’s known for its roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee-filled flavor profile.
Tasting Notes:
You’ll find notes of dark chocolate, roasted malts, freshly baked bread, vanilla beans, coffee, and boozy-aromatic bourbon on the nose. Sipping it reveals notes of chocolate, toasted vanilla beans, roasted malts, espresso beans, raisins, oaky wood, and whiskey, The finish is sweet, warming, and boozy.
Bottom Line:
In a genre of incredibly high ABV barrel-aged stouts, Dragon’s Milk is full-flavored, but a much more manageable 11% ABV.
While Goose Island Bourbon County Stout is the most well-known barrel-aged stout, Founders KBS is a close second. This popular 12% ABV banger is a bourbon barrel-aged chocolate coffee stout (hence the ‘Breakfast’ in the name). It’s known for its boozy, coffee, vanilla, and chocolate flavors.
Tasting Notes:
The nose is a mixture of roasted malts, caramel, freshly brewed coffee, oaky wood, vanilla beans, and sweet bourbon. There’s more of the same on the palate with notes of dark chocolate, toffee, vanilla beans, espresso, charred wood, and warming, boozy, sweet bourbon at the very finish.
Bottom Line:
This is one for the caffeine fans. While aging in bourbon would be enough to make this a memorable beer, adding coffee takes it to new heights.
While many breweries don’t make a habit of revealing the distilleries where they got their former whiskey barrels, Brooklyn touts this beer as a collaboration with renowned distillery Four Roses. This 11.5% ABV stout was matured for months in casks that previously held Four Roses Small Batch barrels.
Tasting Notes:
Complex aromas of dark chocolate, roasted malts, coffee beans, vanilla, dried cherries, and aromatic whisky start this beer off on the right note. The palate is filled with roasted malts, caramel candy, freshly brewed coffee, charred oak, vanilla beans, chocolate, raisins, and lightly, warming, boozy whiskey.
Bottom Line:
This is a surprisingly complex barrel-aged stout. It has a ton of rich, chocolate and coffee flavors as well as dried fruits. The finish is less boozy than many of the others on this list.
There might be no cooler sea creature than the unicorn-like narwhal. That’s why it should come as no surprise that Sierra Nevada named its imperial stout and this barrel-aged version after the majestic, arctic mammal. This 11.9% imperial stout spends almost a full year maturing in ex-bourbon barrels.
Tasting Notes:
A lot is going on with this stout’s nose. There are scents of dark chocolate, roasted malts, toasted coconut, raisins, butterscotch, toasted vanilla beans, and sweet oaky bourbon. Drinking it brings forth notes of cocoa powder, maple syrup, caramel candy, dried fruits, vanilla beans, oak, and whiskey. The finish is warming, lingering, and filled with boozy whiskey.
Bottom Line:
Sierra Nevada Narwhal is already a complex imperial stout. It’d be even better when it’s matured in ex-bourbon casks.
Goose Island Bourbon County Original Stout is the OG whiskey barrel-aged stout. It’s also still the most sought-after. While there are different variants, Bourbon County Original Stout is matured for around twelve full months in recently emptied bourbon casks from Heaven Hill, Four Roses, Buffalo Trace, and even Wild Turkey.
Tasting Notes:
A memorable nose of chocolate syrup, vanilla beans, oak, toffee, dried fruits, and bourbon greets you before your first sip. An indulgent palate of candied nuts, raisins, caramelized sugar, charred wood, sweet bourbon, coffee, and dark chocolate make this a truly memorable beer.
Bottom Line:
If you’ve never tried Goose Island Bourbon County Stout, now is the time to try it. This is the first and one of (if not the) best examples of the style available today.
This is not your average whiskey barrel-aged stout. Parabolita is listed as a bourbon barrel-aged stout with vanilla, cocoa nibs, and sea salt. It’s made by aging the brewery’s popular Parabola for a full year in ex-bourbon barrels before blending it with Velvet Merlin milk stout. After that, it’s infused with cocoa nibs, vanilla beans from Madagascar, and sea salt.
Tasting Notes:
On the nose, you’ll find notes of freshly brewed coffee, toasted vanilla beans, butterscotch, chocolate fudge, molasses candy, dried fruits, and sea salt. The palate is a mixture of milk chocolate, oaky wood, toffee, dried fruits, vanilla beans, boozy whiskey, and salted caramel.
Bottom Line:
The sea salt gives this a unique, lightly salty flavor that works perfectly with the rest of the complex flavors in this epic beer.
North Coast Old Rasputin is already one of our favorite imperial stouts, so naturally we also love the barrel-aged version. The time in the whiskey barrel only heightens the aromas and flavors of dark chocolate, vanilla beans, dried fruits, and caramelized sugar.
Tasting Notes:
Butterscotch, caramelized sugar, dark chocolate, toasted coconut, pipe tobacco, vanilla, and sweet, corny bourbon are prevalent on the nose. The palate is a symphony of roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate, brown sugar, charred oak, vanilla, dried fruits, and boozy, lightly spicy whiskey at the finish.
Bottom Line:
North Coast Old Rasputin is already an exceptional beer. The barrel-aged version is like you turned it up to eleven (or even twelve). It’s indulgent, intense, and highly complex.
(SPOILER WARNING: Key events from Mr. & Mrs. Smith will be discussed below.)
Amazon’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith, starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine, is bingeworthy enough that plenty of viewers likely watched the entire series over the weekend. Nielsen statistics on that hunch will take awhile to surface, but in the meantime, showrunner and co-creator Francesca Sloane is already fielding questions on the season’s cliffhanger ending and whether we will ever find out whether Parker Posey’s Super High Risk Jane succeeded in killing Glover and Erskine’s High Risk John and Jane.
The eighth episode ended with Erskine about to open the safe-room door, and we saw a flash of gunfire through an outside window perspective. Then the show ended, and we were left to wonder whether Glover and Erskine’s characters suffered the same fate as the John and Jane portrayed by Alexander Skarsgård and Eiza González in the show’s opening scene. Will we ever know the answer to that question in a second season?
Showrunner, co-creator, and co-writer Francesca Sloane spoke with Hollywood Reporter to admit that she’s not quite certain what happened, either. She suggests that bases are covered in case Amazon decides not to renew the show, but she really would like to do more:
“We wanted to make sure that it felt like a complete story, even with the ending being what it is. We watched a lot of films from the ’70s. I love the way that a lot of films then ended. The Graduate has one of those endings that still feels satisfying without giving you everything. We feel like there’s a beautiful complete story here in that sense. That said, we have definitely already started discussing ideas for season two… in the world we make one. We would never want to make a season two if we couldn’t kick our own asses, in terms of taking down season one. So it really depends. We’ll see what life has to offer us, but we definitely have some exciting thoughts.”
If there’s more, we need to see followup on Michaela Coel’s rival spy. Coel is actually a good friend of Glover, and that role was written with her in mind. Likewise, Ron Perlman is Sloane’s father-in-law, which is a nice bit of trivia about the dude who portrayed a whiny baddie. As for “Hot Neighbor” Paul Dano, Sloane explained, “that character was more about showing that Jane has specific taste. It’s not about who everybody finds hot but who Jane finds hot.” Sloane added, “And Paul Dano is handsome!” So there.
Amazon’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith is currently streaming eight episodes.
How often are sequels better than the original ? It doesn’t happen a lot, but when it does, it can be life changing. The first movie in a series sets the tone and the theme, but it’s the second installment where those characters can really shine. Sometimes it just takes some time to get there, but it’s worth it for some.
For instance, in 2022, Winnie the Pooh was given another shot at life when the character went straight from Walt Disney’s firm grasp into the public domain, where all bets are off and anything goes. The character led the horror movie Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey much to the delight / fear of fans everywhere. And they are gearing up to do it again! Though this time, Winnie isn’t just some guy in a discounted Party City mask. He’s becoming his own horror legend. This is what happens when you don’t let him wear pants for 100 years! He was bound to reach his breaking point sooner or later.
IGN had the first look at the slasher sequel, Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey 2. Yes, it rhymes, but no, it’s not something you’d want to take a child to see. The sequel brings back the murderous Pooh, now donning a fresh new pair of overalls, and he is joined by Tigger, who also entered the public domain and is ready for some chaos. Did they think he wouldn’t want his own film or what? Our buddy Owl will also join in on the fun, and we already know that Owls are potentially capable of murder, so this is huge. Here is the official synopsis:
Deep within the 100-Acre-Wood, a destructive rage grows as Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Owl, and Tigger find their home and their lives endangered after Christopher Robin revealed their existence. Not wanting to live in the shadows any longer, the group decides to take the fight to the town of Ashdown, home of Christopher Robin, leaving a bloody trail of death and mayhem in their wake.
Winnie and his savage friends will show everyone that they are deadlier, stronger, and smarter than anyone could ever imagine and get their revenge on Christopher Robin, once and for all.
No spoilers here, but imagine if Steamboat Willie showed up at the last minute to save Christopher Robin? That would be a great full-circle moment (assuming he ever gets off that boat).
The film is set to hit theaters sometime this year. Until then, stay away from any woods that have a lot of acres, particularly over a hundred.
There remains some mystery around what life was like in the 1800s, especially for teens. Most people alive today were not around in the Victorian era when the technologies now deemed old-fashioned were a novelty. In this rediscovered 1970s clip from the BBC, two elderly women reminisce about what it was like being teenagers during a time when the horse and buggy was still the fastest way to get around.
While cars were just around the corner from being the common mode of transportation toward the end of the 19th century, it’s pretty wild to imagine what these women experienced. Frances “Effy” Jones explained how, at age 17, she was encouraged by her brother to check out this new machine in a storefront window. Turns out that machine was a typewriter and, after being trained on how to use it, Jones would sit in the store window typing while people outside gathered to watch. Before long, classes began popping up for women to learn how to use a typewriter, starting a new movement for women of that era.
The second woman, Berta Ruck, told the BBC that she would get into a bit of trouble at boarding school for drawing instead of completing school work. This talent took Ruck to art school in London where she rode buses around town, attempting to avoid mud getting on her long skirt. But the woman explained that it never worked and she would spend hours brushing the mud from her skirt before wearing it out again. I’m sure you’re thinking, buses? They weren’t the buses we would see nowadays. These were double-decker horse-pulled carriages.
I know, that’s hard to imagine. That’s why you should check out the video below:
Some kids can wow us with their abilities, from being precocious philosophers to musical prodigies. Whether a child’s extraordinary talents are due to “nature” or “nurture” is always a big question mark, but there’s no question that some kids stand out among their peers for the things they can do.
Sometimes they even stand out from grownups. Take young Aldie, for example, whose ability to articulate his feelings exceeds many adults. When you find out he’s barely 4 years old, hearing him calmly talk about his emotions and good choices is all the more remarkable.
Aldie’s mom, Jonisa Padernos, tells Upworthy that she’s felt he was “really special” since he started talking in full sentences at 20 months. “Believe it or not, he had no major tantrums in his toddler years because he was always able to express [himself] with his words,” she says.
Padernos started young, asking Aldie questions and giving him time to answer without interrupting. “I’d always ask his opinion or feelings towards something and I don’t rush him to answer,” she says. “I give him time and just listen. I make sure I also tell him how I feel and explain to him because I think kids copy us, and if we do that, they would think that it’s normal to feel all those emotions as long as you can express it with words and [are] able to process it.”
Check out the conversation between Aldie and Padernos at bedtime as he goes through a recap of his emotions that day, which has racked up more than 17 million views on TikTok.
Bedtime conversation. The last part made me ❤️🥹 #fyp #momlife
The way Aldie shared what he was feeling about his mom not letting him go outside, how he helped his papa make a better choice with his emotions, and how he described the different emotions he feels is more than most adults can muster when they’ve had “a hard time doing emotions” during the day. And the way Padernos listens and reflects and reassures him is so, so beautiful.
People in the comments agreed.
“Emotionally intelligent, articulate and able to string super sophisticated sentences together,” wrote one commenter on Instagram. “I taught 7-year-olds that weren’t this advanced – heck, most adults aren’t this emotionally intelligent. I have confidence in his future and the consequences are working beautifully Mama. We have to raise kids other people will like too. 😍👏”
“Wowwwww….. I’m so amazed by this baby’s EVERYTHING … the emotional intelligence, the vocabulary, empathy, the processing skills…all of it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️” wrote another.
“The most mature conversation I’ve heard about emotions – tbh I don’t think I’ve ever been as honest about my feelings as this little one was 🙌🏽 feeling so inspired by both of them. ♥️🫶🏽✨” shared another.
There’s a lot that parents can do to help their children develop this kind of emotional intelligence, and this interaction between Aldie and his mom is a prime example.
“My advice is just be present, encourage kids to tell you how their day was or anything, listen and give them time to express without rushing,” says Padernos. “Be patient, consistent and honest when communicating with them. Always remember that kids mirror us and so we have to show and express our emotions so they will be encouraged to also express their feelings to us. And when we get mad or frustrated, also let them know and explain why and apologize if you feel that you’ve let your emotions get in the way.”
While not every child will be able to understand and articulate as clearly as Aldie did at such a young age, most kids are far more capable of understanding and processing emotion than we give them credit for. Proactively teaching them how to communicate what they’re feeling and explaining how emotions work can go a long way toward helping them develop the self-regulation tools they’ll use throughout their life.
