Keanu Reeves loves a sequel. He loves coming back for more, even after he swears he’s done, because he’s a Virgo who just wants to make people happy.

Reeves and Alex Winter reunited in 2021 for the sci-fi comedy threequel Bill and Ted Face The Music where the two finally used the power of music to heal the world. But we might need more healing, so a fourth movie has been proposed.

Winter was on The Sarah O’Connell Show to discuss his upcoming projects when he revealed that there has been talk of a fourth film in the time-traveling comedy franchise. “We’re tinkering with a fourth movie idea that all of us like, and the guys are going to write, so we’ll see. It takes us time to get these things going, and we never want to do them unless they’re great,” he explained.

Like with other sequels, Winter says he doesn’t want to do it unless everyone else is on board, and it seems like they are. “They feel the same way, it has to be right,” he explained, adding that they mostly just do the sequels because they are fun. “We love [the Bill & Ted movies] because they’re oddball, and they’re not typical mainstream films. They’ve never been cash-grab movies; no one has gotten rich off the Bill and Ted series. We really do make them sincerely from a place of love and interest.”

The first two Bill and Ted films follow the two slacker teens as they try to get their music off the ground in order to save the world (obviously) while the later films explore them as adults doing more or less the same thing, but with longer hair.

As for a fourth film, Winter confirmed that they have an idea on deck. “There’s a really good idea that the writers came up with for a fourth that’s kind of obvious. I don’t want to give it away — I can’t give it away because I would be drawn and quartered — but it is a really great idea, kind of an obvious idea. It will get written, and we’ll see if we can actually get it made. It may be a little while.” Good thing the duo has a time machine…this works out perfectly.

Reacher‘s second season finale is nearly upon us, which means that the bods will stop falling out of airplanes soon. That’s obviously a good thing, but on a less positive note, viewers will miss their weekly dose of the impossibly ripped Alan Ritchson inhaling the grossest junk food before taking out the bad guys by merely flexing. Then, he will leave town and appear somewhere else for Season 3, which will obviously not arrive next week, but hey, there’s still some fine news on this subject.

Season 3 has been filming for over a month already, and Ritchson shared an update from the set. (Faux-spoiler alert: Season 3 looks dirty.)

“Welp… we’re back,” the Blue Mountain State: The Rise of Thadland star wrote on Instagram. “Season 3 of Reacher… crustier than ever.”

Previously, Ritchson made a Season 3 video announcement from the set. He probably pulled a telephone pole out of the ground after filming this and maybe beat up Godzilla, too:

There’s no clues yet on which of Lee Childs’ Jack Reacher books will be adapted for Season 3, but we shouldn’t have to wait too long to find out. Reacher has handily smashed every other Amazon Original series in the past year. They will wanna push out the next installment in a virtual jiffy.

No Doubt announced earlier yesterday (January 16) that they would be reuniting for a show. Shortly after, it was revealed that the band was actually getting back together to perform at Coachella this year.

However, since not everyone can make it to the California desert to catch the band, there have been questions if No Doubt will tour at all too. Here’s what to know.

Will No Doubt Go On Tour In 2024?

Right now, it’s unclear if No Doubt will do a full tour this year. Save for Coachella, they have no other announced dates scheduled. The band’s last public show together was back in 2015 for the KAABOO Festival. Yet, considering they did several festivals that year, like Riot Fest and Rock In Rio, it is possible that they could follow a similar pattern for their 2024 return.

“What are the odds of anything?” lead singer Gwen Stefani shared with The Wall Street Journal about the reunion possibilities in 2022. “I was just on The Drew Barrymore Show. She was one of my favorite celebrities when I was a little girl, and now I was just on the show with her. Anything can happen.”

“I have no idea what’s going to happen with No Doubt,” she added. “We haven’t really talked about doing anything, but it feels like everyone is, right? All the ’90s people — Blink-182 did an eight-month tour that sold out in like five minutes.”

Here’s hoping they follow Blink’s lead.

Adrianne Lenker is gearing up to release her new solo album. Today (January 17), the Big Thief vocalist announced Bright Future, which is set to arrive this spring. Ahead of the album’s release, Lenker has shared a new single, “Sadness As A Gift.”

On “Sadness As A Gift,” Lenker seeks to find peace amid a period of emotional turmoil

“Leaning on the windowsill / You could write me someday, and I think you will / We could see the sadness as a gift and still / Feel too heavy to hold,” she sings.

Bright Future was recorded with contributions by Nick Hakim, Mat Davidson, and Josefin Runsteen, with production by Philip Weinrobe. Lenker began recording the album in the fall of 2022, with her collaborators, not having any intention to make a full-length album.

“I had no idea what the outcome would be,” said Lenker in a statement. The result? “It was magical.” In addition to the album announcement, Lenker revealed a set of US tour dates, which will kick off in June. The Spotify pre-sale begins this Thursday (January 18) at 10 a.m. ET and general on-sale beginning Friday (January 19) at 10 a.m. ET. Fans can purchase tickets here.

Nicole Kidman has been in too many classic movies to name them all, but here’s a few: Eyes Wide Shut, Moulin Rogue, The Others, that AMC ad. Oh, and Paddington. Can’t forget Paddington. It’s hard to believe that anyone would doubt Kidman’s talent as an actress, but it happened. On a recent episode of the Radio Times podcast (via Variety), she discussed auditioning for roles as a teenager. “I was told, ‘You won’t have a career. You’re too tall,’” she said.

Kidman, who is 5′ 11″, was teased and called “Storky” because of her height. “It will bother me when I’m acting and I want to be small — but then there are times when I appreciate it when it’s related to what I’m doing and I go, ‘OK, I can use this now.’ Hey, I’m incredibly grateful to be healthy and walking around,” she said. “Having said that, I’ve had knee issues and all sorts of things — partly because of my height.”

At one open audition for a role in Annie, Kidman remembered actors were being measured for their height at the door. Performers who were too tall were being instantly rejected, so she had to fight her way into the casting room. “I had to talk my way through the door because they were measuring you before you went in. I was mortified,” she said, adding that she started lying by telling people she’s “5 foot 10 ½ inches” when she was “really 5 foot 11 inches.”

Kidman should make a John Wick-style movie with fellow tall Australian Elizabeth Debicki about getting revenge on the dudes who mocked their height. She’s already ripped. It would make $1.5 billion.

Godzilla Minus One has proven to be a massive hit with Godzilla fans, who have thoroughly enjoyed the film that eschews the Hollywood trappings of the MonsterVerse and brings the King of the Monsters back to his roots in postwar Japan. Now, filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki is taken things even further by releasing a new cut, Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color, that takes Godzilla all the way back to his black-and-white days.

Even better, the new black and white remaster will be arriving very soon. Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color roars into theaters on January 26. However, you’re going to want to catch the new cut quickly because both versions of Godzilla Minus One will exit theaters on February 1.

“I was very happy that the North American audience embraced Godzilla Minus One,” Yamazaki said in a statement to Deadline. “And now I am very pleased to be able to release a black-and-white version for North America as well. Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color will bring a new and visceral experience to audiences.”

Here’s the official synopsis:

Written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki and featuring music by Naoki Sato, Godzilla Minus One sees a devastated postwar Japan facing a new threat in the form of Godzilla. As Godzilla emerges, it wreaks havoc and additional destruction on the nation, knocking the country into the negative.

Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color stomps into theaters on January 26, 2024.

Now that Halle Bailey has finally revealed the birth of her and DDG’s baby Halo, the floodgates of pregnancy content have opened. After months of Halle staying off social media to protect her mental health, she’s apparently given her sister Chloe the green light to start sharing the videos and photos the two inevitably shot during the pregnancy. Chloe’s first post shows that the baby weight didn’t slow the younger Bailey down one bit as the sisters teamed up to twerk it out to Drake’s For All The Dogs ratchet favorite, “Rich Baby Daddy” featuring Sexyy Red and SZA.

The rumors of Halle’s pregnancy swirled throughout the last quarter of 2023 as the Color Purple star mostly stayed out of the press cycle for the film despite playing a major role in it and being featured heavily in the trailers. Any appearances she did make in public were in very baggy clothing to hide the baby bump. However, the sisters — and DDG — went to extreme lengths to downplay the rumors, with Chloe appearing to address them by telling fans to “keep my sister’s name out your mouth” and DDG trolling fans with a baby doll on a livestream.

Now that the baby has arrived, though, he already has over 50,000 followers on Instagram, despite only having one photo. But in terms of the Bailey fam social media, it seems we’re mostly just happy to see more Chloe X Halle content — and the potential for a follow-up to Ungodly Hour.

Millions of people have dreamed of a career in music, but only a small percentage of them have actually made it happen, and an even more exclusive portion of that group have gone down in history as being among the best to ever do it. So, getting inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame is a major honor, and now the 2024 class has been unveiled (per Billboard).

Getting inducted as “non-performing” songwriters are Timothy Mosley (Timbaland), Hillary Lindsey (who wrote songs like Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus, Take the Wheel” and Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush”), and Dean Pitchford (who wrote Kenny Loggins’ “Footloose” and Bonnie Tyler’s “Holdin’ Out For A Hero”). Also making the cut are R.E.M. members Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Michael Stipe, and Steely Dan members Donald Fagen and Walter Becker.

HOF chairman Nile Rodgers said in a statement, “We are […] very proud that we are continually recognizing some of the culturally most important songwriters of all time and that the 2024 slate represents not just iconic songs but also diversity and unity across genres, ethnicity and gender, songwriters who have enriched our lives and literally enriched music and the lives of billions of listeners all over the world.”

The inductees will be honored at the 2024 Induction And Awards Gala, which is set for June 13 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.

Everyone in the world was enamored by Ryan Gosling’s portrayal of beachy himbo Ken in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, but imagine, for one moment, if that guy was your dad? It would probably alter the storytelling a little bit for you. Nobody wants to see their dad have an intense dance breakdown or wear a mink in times like these. It’s just too much!

This is more or less the reason why Gosling says his two young daughters, ages 7 and 9, haven’t seen the film, despite them being part of the reason he took on the role in the first place.

Gosling recently told E! that he doesn’t think his daughters, who he shares with actress Eva Mendes, will really want to see him as Ken. “I don’t know if you should watch your father as Ken,” he explained, adding, “I don’t know what age is a good age to see your father do that. It gets pretty crazy.” Seeing your father cry on Margot Robbie’s shoulders might actually be empowering to his daughters, but maybe that time will come later.

Even though they haven’t seen the film, Gosling previously claimed that his daughters seemed indifferent to him accepting the role. “I think they’re confused as to why I would want to play Ken. They have no use for Ken.” Still, they inspired him to accept the role after he had found a Ken doll face down in the dirt in his backyard.

Maybe they won’t see him as Ken, but surely he won’t mind them watching him do dangerous stunts over and over again in The Fall Guy.
