Ava Max, Uproxx’s August 2021 cover star, started this year with the January release of her sophomore studio album, Diamonds & Dancefloors. The album leaked online in October 2022, leaving Max visibly upset. But Max is in firm control of what information is being deployed related to her next album.

On November 4, Max posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), “I promise new music is being made and some is already done [shushing emoji] new chapter awaits.” She followed that up on Saturday, November 18, by writing, “Cookin in the studio [chef emoji] won’t be MIA for long.”

Between those two posts, Max posted photos on Instagram and X with the caption, “i would hate me 2 if I were you [shamrock emoji].” Take that for what you will. Most recently, Max posted a video (without audio) to Instagram showing her in the studio. “album 3 mode in full effect [plant emoji, red heart emoji, Bandaid emoji],” she wrote in the caption.

Max finding any time to spend in the studio this year is impressive, given she toured for most of it in support of Diamonds & Dancefloors. Outside of her solo releases, Max also contributed “Choose Your Fighter” to the Grammy-nominated Barbie: The Album.

Ava Max is a Warner Music artist and the Barbie soundtrack is a Warner Music release. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

STARZ

Now that another season in a Power spin-off is in the books, that being Power Book IV: Force season two following its season finale, we can now gear up for a new Power season. Power Book III: Raising Kanan is set to return after being away from our screens for a little over a year. It’s been a while since we’ve been in the Raising Kanan world, so here’s everything you need to know heading into season three.

When Does Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 Come Out?

The third season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan premieres December 1 on STARZ. The third season arrives a little over a year after the second season concluded with a dramatic season two finale on October 23, 2022.

Who Is In The Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 Cast?

Much of the main and recurring cast from past seasons of Power Book III: Raising Kanan will return to reprise their roles in season three. This includes Mekai Curtis as Kanan Stark, Patina Miller as Raquel “Raq” Thomas, London Brown as Marvin Thomas, Malcolm Mays as Louis “Lou-Lou” Thomas, Joey Badass as Unique, Shanley Caswell as Shannon Burke, Hailey Kilgore as LaVerne “Jukebox” Thomas, Toby Sandeman as Symphony Bosket, Omar Epps as Malcolm Howard, and Antonio Ortiz as Shawn “Famous” Figueroa.

Some new names to the season three cast include Grantham Coleman as Ronnie Mathis, who, according to Deadline, is Unique’s older brother who was recently released from prison. Mathis is also described as “stoic,” “ruthless,” and “vindictive.” Deadline also reported that season three will add Wendell Pierce as Ishmael “Snaps” Henry and Erika Woods as Stephanie “Pop” Henry. Coleman. Snaps is regarded as a street legend who is a former bank robber and an OG dealer who, along with his wife Pop, take on the role of mentor and financial advisor to Kanan.

What Is Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 About?

Here is the official synopsis for season three of Power Book III: Raising Kanan:

Over the last two seasons of “Raising Kanan,” Kanan Stark has slowly learned the truth about not only his mother, but also himself. It has been a tortuous journey for him and everyone around him. With each new revelation, Kanan has been forced to confront his family’s seemingly never-ending web of secrets and lies. He has spent much of this time in a state of denial, but now, Kanan’s blinders are finally off, and he doesn’t like what he sees.

In season three, Kanan finds himself grappling with the very notions of right and wrong. Good and evil. Fidelity and disloyalty. And he’s not alone. Every member of the Thomas family must confront an existential crisis that challenges their very identity. Whether it’s Marvin, who’s still trying to redeem himself, or Raq, who’s finally coming clean, or Lou, who’s wrestling with his own evil, or Jukebox, who’s simply trying to break free from her family’s pathology, they are all attempting to redefine and reinvent themselves.

They won’t all be able to complete this intensely personal quest, but for those who do, the destination may reveal the most terrifying secret of all. There is no right and wrong or good and evil. There are no absolutes. In the end, there’s just you.

Is There A Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 Trailer?

Yes, there is a trailer for Power Book III: Raising Kanan season three. You can watch that here:

The Cast Of ‘Suits’ Is Reuniting — But Will Meghan Markle Be There?

Suits
USA Network

Meghan Markle doesn’t know why Suits became the show of the summer once all nine seasons were added to Netflix, but it did. And now the cast is reuniting. The ATX TV Festival announced on Monday that the 2024 lineup will feature a “retrospective panel with the creatives and cast of Suits,” including creator Aaron Korsh and stars Patrick J. Adams, Sarah Rafferty, and Dulé Hill.

It’s unknown if Markle will take part in the panel, as she’s busy making every British tabloid furious for reasons this American will never understand. A Zoom cameo is possible, but an in-person appearance would be more fun, especially since her husband was recently in the Austin area.

Other highlights of the Austin, Texas-based festival include a Halt and Catch Fire retrospective with creators Christopher Cantwell and Christopher C. Rogers, executive producers Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein, and wonderfully-named star Scoot McNairy; and panels with Silo showrunner Graham Yost and Station Eleven executive producer Jessica Rhoades.

The festival will also host “Presidential Forum: On TV, the Industry, and What’s Next,” a rare conversation with TV’s top executives about the current state — and future — of the industry following two historic strikes, the personal and professional philosophies they bring to their individual brands, and how they view their role in an ever-evolving creative landscape. Confirmed panelists include Nicole Clemens, President, Paramount Television Studios; Lisa Katz, President, Scripted Content, NBCUniversal Entertainment; Erin Underhill, President, Universal Television; and Katherine Pope, President, Sony Pictures Television Studios, with additional panelists to be announced soon.

You can buy tickets for the ATX TV Festival (which takes place from May 30 to June 2, 2024) here, including Black Friday deals.

Travis Scott’s Fans Love When He Performs ‘Fe!n’ So Much, He Did It Ten Times At His Latest Show In Oklahoma

Travis Scott’s Circus Maximus Tour hit Tusla, Oklahoma over the weekend, where the rapper graced fans with nearly a dozen encores of one of his Utopia hits. On Sunday (November 19), social media accounts lit up with footage from the night before exclaiming that Travis had performed the song “Fe!n” 10 times — including at least once joined by the song’s featured artist Playboi Carti. You can check out videos from Saturday night’s Circus Maximus Tour stop in Oklahoma City below.

“Fe!n,” which was produced by Travis and features Playboi Carti and Sheck Wes, peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Carti his highest-charting song yet and Travis his 14th top-10 hit.

Meanwhile, another notable moment from the ongoing tour saw Travis indulge in some adorable father-daughter bonding as he brought his daughter Stormi onstage with him as he performed “Mafia” in Inglewood, California’s SoFi Stadium.

The tour has marked Travis’ first since the Astroworld Festival disaster of 2021, which he addressed in a recent interview. In his first public statement about the incident since its immediate aftermath, Travis told GQ that he’s been “overly devastated” by the deaths. “Those fans were like my family,” he said. “I love my fans to the utmost… It has its moments where it gets rough and…yeah. You just feel for those people. And their families.”

Trader Joe’s And Costco Face Off In The Ultimate Pumpkin Pie Battle

Trader Joe vs. Costco Pumpkin Pie Battle
Shutterstock/UPROXX

Pumpkin pie is one of those Thanksgiving dinner dishes that can get pretty divisive. The whole pumpkin spice craze of the last 20 years (yes folks, it’s been that long) hasn’t helped either. Pumpkin pie — at its core — is a celebration of a roasted gourd spiced up by fall/winter spices with a creamy and soft texture. Then there’s a pie crust with a nice crunch, savoriness, and butteriness to it, adding more flavor and texture.

Sounds good, right? It is… when it’s done right.

Sadly, it’s a very easy pie to screw up — especially when corners are cut for efficiency and cost. Case in point, prepared grocery store pies have massive swings in quality. Even in our blind taste test and ranking of grocery store pies, the winning pumpkin pie didn’t seem to be that great. Uproxx’s Dane Rivera had this to say about the current champ, “My only real knock against this pie is the crust. It’s a bit too soft and doesn’t serve as a big enough contrast to the silkiness of the filling.”

The gist is that when you’re not baking from scratch at home, you’re going to have to be okay with some shortcomings. Nothing Dane ranked seemed to leave him blissed out.

If you have time, we think you should take the hour to bake a pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving (oh, look — here’s a great recipe to do just that). But what if you don’t have time? Well, after Dane’s ranking, we got a whole lot of emails and comments about Costco’s colossal pumpkin pie. People wanted to know where it lands in the grand scheme of things. So I dutifully purchased Dane’s favorite grocery pumpkin pie from Trader Joe’s and pitted it in a side-by-side tasting with Costco’s truly huge pumpkin pie.

The results were striking — let’s dive right in.

Part 1 — The Battle: Costco Vs. Trader Joe’s

Pumpkin Pie Battle

2. Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin Pie Battle
Zach Johnston

Price: $6.99 (27 oz.)

The Pie:

Trader Joe’s pumpkin pie has a brownish hue with a clear sense of spices in the filling (you can see the dark brown dots). The crust is fancy on the edges and very thick. I want to call this pie “small” but that’s only because it’s sitting next to a massive Costco one.

The pie also has a bold aroma of pumpkin spice. The moment you take it from the box, it hits you with a lot of pumpkin spices — kind of like a pumpkin spiced latte from Starbucks. I don’t think this is an accident.

Overall, you should be able to get six slices from this pie, which is a good size overall.

Tasting Notes:

Pie Filling: The filling really smells of pumpkin spice lattes. The texture is softer at first but then gets a little gummy on the third and fourth chew. The actual taste is pumpkin spice only. There’s no sense of pumpkin at all on the palate. By the end, the filling was like chewing pumpkin spice creamy gum.

Crust: Crust? What crust? I’m only half kidding. The crust was dense yet gummy and almost completely blank of flavor besides a whisper of salt. The crimped rim had a bit of a crunch to it but that’s me being very generous. The underlayer of crust was just gummy to the point of almost being annoying to chew.

Bottom Line:

Pumpkin Pie Battle
Zach Johnston

If this is the best “grocery store pumpkin pie” … the others must have been complete dumpster fires. Poor Dane, what have me made him submit himself to! There’s no taste of pumpkin whatsoever.

1. Costco Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin Pie Battle
Zach Johnston

Price: $5.99 (58 oz.)

The Pie:

Fifty. Eight. Ounces. That means that you can easily get 12-16 servings from this pie. So right out of the gate, this pie wins major points for feeding a big crew or family.

Okay, let’s get into the pie. The color is a nice brownish orange — a burnt orange if you will. The crust isn’t overly fancy or crimped but it’s there.

The key is that when you pop the container open you get a nose full of roasted pumpkin that has been spiced. Like real, actual pumpkin.

Tasting Notes:

Pie Filling: The filling is moist and has a little give to it. It’s kind of halfway between a flan and crème brûlée in consistency thanks to a moment of airiness. The actual taste is roasted pumpkin forward with a nice layer of savory pumpkin that’s been spiced with nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon. There’s nothing as bold as clove or anise but there is a mild sharpness to the spice.

Plus, it feels real. I mean that in that it feels like real pumpkin and actual spices were used instead of a mix (or can).

Crust:

The crust is thinner, which works here. There’s a nice butteriness to the crimped rim with a good pinch of salt countered by a moment of white sugar. The under crust is thin and kind of gets lost for the most part. It does provide a faint textural layer but not much. At the very least, it tastes like real pie crust with butter and salt and not just white flour.

Bottom Line:

Pumpkin Pie Battle
Zach Johnston

Overall, this tastes like real-deal pumpkin pie. And that’s why Costco’s Pumpkin Pie runs away with this battle. There’s almost no comparison between the two.

Part 2 — Final Thoughts on the Pumpkin Pies

Pumpkin Pie Battle
Zach Johnston

Okay, while I am dragging Trader Joe’s pie pretty hard, I do get it. It’s made for folks who want “pumpkin spice” pie. It’s a latte in a neutral pie crust. And I fully appreciate that it beat a whole mess of middling pies in the blind tasting. But there’s still little to no “pumpkin” in that equation. Then there’s the mouthfeel. The Trader Joe’s pie is gummy. The Costco pie is lush by comparison.

In the end, the Costco pie wins on every front and that’s before you even get to how much more you’re getting for one dollar less in price. I think it might be time for y’all to pull that trigger and get a Costco membership if you want to buy the best storebought pumpkin pie. Or, y’know, just bake your own and make this conversation moot in an instant.

How Did Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Meet?

Travis Kelce Taylor Swift SNL 2023

Uproxx did the Lord’s work and provided a Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce relationship timeline after Swift confirmed something was up between them by attending the Kansas City Chiefs’ 41-10 win over the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri on September 24. The background information still stands, but so much has happened over the past two months.

Despite Swift already attending two Chiefs games in support of Kelce on September 24 and October 1, Kelce and Swift hard-launched their relationship with a visit to Saturday Night Live and PDA around New York City in mid-October. That PDA feels elementary after Swift altered the lyrics of “Karma” for Kelce and ran to kiss him during her The Eras Tour show in Buenos Aires, Argentina on November 11. While Kelce has made clear he won’t say whether he’s in love with Swift, he did just shed slightly more light on the origins of the definitive relationship of 2023.

On Monday morning, November 20, Kelce was revealed as the latest cover star for WSJ. Magazine. In the accompanying story, Kelce said, “She’ll probably hate me for saying this, but […] when she came to Arrowhead, they gave her the big locker room as a dressing room, and her little cousins were taking pictures […] in front of my locker” (as relayed on WSJ‘s Instagram).

People also shared excerpts from the WSJ profile.

“There were definitely people she knew that knew who I was, in her corner [who said]: ‘Yo! Did you know he was coming?’ I had somebody playing Cupid,” Kelce said, adding, “She told me exactly what was going on and how I got lucky enough to get her to reach out.”

The two-time Super Bowl champion also let slip that they met for the first time in New York, though Kelce doesn’t specify when their first meeting took place.

“When I met her in New York, we had already kind of been talking, so I knew we could have a nice dinner and, like, a conversation, and what goes from there will go from there,” the All-Pro tight end told WSJ.

Last week, it was reported by Entertainment Tonight that Kelce’s parents, Donna and Ed, would meet Swift’s parents, Andrea and Scott, at the Chiefs’ game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Arrowhead on Monday night, November 20. (The Swift family has famously always been an Eagles household.) Kelce and his brother, Eagles All-Pro center Jason Kelce, joked about it on an episode of their New Heights podcast.

It’s unclear whether that will still happen, but Swift can no longer attend the game after having to postpone a The Eras Tour concert from Saturday, November 18, to Monday in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

How Many Episodes Are In ‘A Murder At The End Of The World’ Season 1?

Murder At The End Of The World
FX/Hulu

FX’s team-up with Hulu continues to be one of the better streaming endeavors out there. This pairing, after all, gave us The Bear‘s kitchen heat for two runaway seasons and a third on the way. The really special Reservation Dogs also has three seasons for the taking, and Fargo is still kicking over there while sauntering through Season 5.

Then there’s A Murder At The End Of The World with a set-up that will initially remind you of a Glass Onion-esque whodunnit, but it’s even fresher and stars Emma Corrin (The Crown, My Policeman) and Clive Owen (Sin City, The Closer) along with Harris Dickinson, who will also soon appear in A24’s The Iron Claw.

Corrin portrays an amateur sleuth and one of several guests who are invited to a reclusive billionaire’s gathering, so how many episodes will it take before this season’s mystery wraps up?

Seven episodes will eventually be available, and the mystery aspect shall continue until the very end. Granted, that’s not too many episodes, but most of them are at least one hour long, so you are definitely getting your money’s worth.

FX’s A Murder At The End Of The World is currently streaming its first episodes on Hulu.
