Taylor Swift turned 34 today and is celebrating her birthday in a special way. The pop star announced that the extended version of her Eras Tour concert film is now available on digital today. As part of the announcement, she also threw in a ton of emojis: a dragon for “Long Live,” an arrow for “The Archer,” and a blue heart for “Wildest Dreams” — the songs that have been added to this longer version.

Swift then poked fun at herself for all the emojis in the first half. “PS troll me all you want about my excessive and literal millennial emoji use but A) no one’s prouder to be a millennial and B) it’s my bday and today I am exempt!” she wrote.

It’s only been a few hours into Swift’s birthday, but fans have already been rolling in with heartfelt tributes. “on december 13th 1989, the most, genius, inspiring, intelligent, hardworking, talented, humble, fearless, caring and the strongest woman this world has ever seen was born. and the world was never the same,” one fan account commented under her post.

Others honored Swift with fan art of all her different eras.

The Color Purple is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. A cast featuring Danielle Brooks, H.E.R., Halle Bailey, and Fantasia is already promising on its own, but according to Oprah Winfrey, who produced the movie musical and starred in the original 1985 movie, the cast almost looked different.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Oprah revealed that Rihanna and Beyoncé were once considered for the cast, but she felt it more appropriate to give other actors an opportunity to shine.

“To be completely honest about it, if you were doing this film for $30 or $40 million, the interest in the cast would be very different,” Winfrey said. “Once the film moved to $90 to $100 million, then everybody wants us to bring Beyoncé. ‘Can you get Beyoncé or can you get Rihanna?’ So we’re sitting in a room saying, ‘Listen, we love Beyoncé. We love Rihanna, but there are other actors who can do this job.’”

Both Bey and Rihanna have had their hands full this year — Beyoncé with her Renaissance World Tour and film, and Rihanna with her fashion and make-up brands, and the birth of her newborn son. According to Oprah, their stacked schedules were taken into consideration.

“I do remember conversations about, ‘Y’all, Beyoncé is going to be busy this year.’ It wasn’t even a negotiation, because you’re not getting Beyoncé,” said Oprah

The rest of the world has moved on from NFTs, but not Donald Trump. The former president announced on Tuesday that he’s selling “TRUMP DIGITAL TRADING CARDS,” which come with a piece of his suit that he wore when he had his mugshot taken. “Some people call these cards pop art or modern art,” Trump said in a video to promote the cards. “I wish I looked as good as I do on those cards, that I can tell you. They give me muscles where, believe me, I don’t have them.”

Jimmy Kimmel will not be first in line to hand money over to Trump, who he dubbed the “most shameless person in the history of the world.”

“Wow,” the Jimmy Kimmel Live host said while laughing. “The cards cost $99 each, so if you buy them all, all 47 of them, for the low, low price of $4,653 plus tax, you will get a postage stamp-sized piece of the suit he wore on the day he was arrested for the fourth time. And he’s calling it the ‘most historically significant artifact in United States history.’ Isn’t that something?” Kimmel laughed again. “There are only 13 original copies of the Constitution, and who knows how many fabric swatches from a XXXL fat guy suit.”

Alex Garland, the writer of 28 Days Later and director of Ex Machina, Annihilation, and Men, is back with a new (and timely) movie. A24 has released the trailer for Civil War, which stars Kirsten Dunst as a war-time photographer covering a country at odds with itself. “A race to the White House in a near-future America balanced on the razor’s edge,” the plot synopsis reads.

You can watch the trailer (with President Nick Offerman) above.

“Well, in the same way that you could say Ex Machina is sci fi, Devs is a tech thriller, and Men is a horror film, Civil War is a war movie – a contemporary war movie,” Garland told Screen Daily. “It was a staggeringly difficult film to shoot. I wrapped five weeks ago, and I’ve been in the edit for the last five weeks. We’re trying to get the film in a rough cut state where everything is broadly what one is intending. But, as well as that, there’s a lot of visual effects in the movie so we’re having to decide which shots were turning over as VFX shots. It’s a very technical, non-stop process at the moment. There’s a lot going on.”

Civil War, which also stars Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Jesse Plemons, and Sonoya Mizuno, opens on April 26, 2024.

Last week, it was reported that Britney Spears’ father Jamie recently had one of his legs amputated. Those reports were unconfirmed, but now we know for certain thanks to new photos of Jamie that have surfaced.

As TMZ reports, Jamie was seen getting out of a car at a warehouse and being helped into a wheelchair. The photos show that a significant portion of his right leg is missing; TMZ notes the photos were taken seven weeks after the amputation, and that the leg was amputated 4 inches above the knee.

As was previously reported, Jamie apparently had a significant infection in his leg following a knee replacement surgery, and he was in the hospital for weeks. Jamie reportedly underwent five surgeries attempting to contain the infection, and after those were unsuccessful, doctors decided to amputate.

The good news is that Jamie might be able to reconcile with Britney, as TMZ previously reported, “Our sources say Britney has softened toward her dad recently. There have been times when she’s said she misses her dad, and once even talked about sending him money to help him out. As for Jamie, our sources say there’s nothing he’d rather have than a reconciliation with his daughter, and harbors no ill will.”
