Jada Pinkett Smith hasn’t been holding back while promoting her new memoir. The actress recently sat down for an interview with Jay Shetty for his podcast On Purpose, during which she had some thoughts about the possibility of Tupac and Will Smith’s becoming pals.

“If ‘Pac had survived Vegas, he and Will would’ve ended up being really good friends,” Pinkett Smith said. “They would’ve had a lot to offer each other. Funny enough, Will was the only person when I started dating him, ‘Pac never said anything.”

“If I dated anybody else, ‘Pac had something to say,” she added. “He didn’t think anybody was good enough, which I understand. But when I started dating Will, he didn’t say anything. Which meant to me, in his own way, he approved. He didn’t say anything. Not a word, which made me believe he approved.”

Despite this, during another recent stop where Pinkett Smith talked to Fat Joe (via HipHopDX), she made it clear that she and Tupac were never a legit couple. “People make too many assumptions because I be trying to keep stuff close to the chest,” she noted. “We were never together. And people when they read the book, they’ll see how deep our friendship was.”

Comic book movies aren’t the sure thing they once were. But Spider-Man’s doing hunky dory. The most recent in the Tom Holland wing was the first blockbuster after the height of the pandemic, and is currently the seventh highest grossing film ever (not adjusted for inflation). Right now the sixth biggest money gobbler of 2023 is the latest from the animated Miles Morales section. But when does Across the Spider-Verse hit streaming?

The answer is October 31, which is when the film will join Netflix’s vast coffers.

But which version will appear on the streamer king? During its wildly successful box office run, some moviegoers noticed a slight change in a scene involving Oscar Isaac’s dead serious futuristic Miguel O’Hara/Spider-Man 2099 and his holographic helper Lyla. In fact, Sony sent out an update to the film mid-run to fix some sound problems after moviegoers complained that some of Spider-Gwen’s dialogue wasn’t clear enough during the opening.

Not all is well with the Spider-verse. With two different Spidey film wings crushing the box office, surely Sony was feeling cocky, announcing another spinoff that would star no less than Bad Bunny. Alas, over the summer, the future of that one turned out to be uncertain.

Still, at least you have Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse — and its follow-up — which Netflix subscribers can watch starting Oct. 31.

Troye Sivan recently released his new album, Something To Give Each Other. In support of it, he did an interview with Billboard’s Pop Shop podcast where he talked about the record — and some of his key influences in music.

“I talk a lot about Janet Jackson because she’s so important to me, but I saw her show at the Hollywood Bowl really early on in the process,” Sivan shared. “And, to me, it took me right back to when was I was like, however old I was, I was probably like 7… hearing ‘Together Again’ for the first time.”

“And that melody and those chords and the warmth that’s in that song literally changed the trajectory of my life,” he added. “The trajectory of my life as a musician and as a songwriter, specifically. And that’s something that I was really really striving for [on the new album]. I wanted something warm.”

Sivan also spoke about the possibility of doing a tour tied to the new album, with his fears tied to it.

“I’m intimidated because… when this tour happens, I want it to be the tour of my life,” he explained. “I really do. And I want to give the big pop show that I think this album is asking for, and these visuals are asking for. And so it’s a big job… So, I’m gonna take a second and regroup and then figure it out. For some reason, I really really really feel the pressure, I really do.”

For now, fans can listen to Sivan’s new record, which is out now.

Taylor Swift is just a few weeks away from dropping her re-recorded version of 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on October 27. For those who might be wondering, the original version of Swift’s 1989 dropped all the way back in 2014, making next year its 10th anniversary.

Specifically, the original release date was released on exactly October 27, 2014, making it almost a full-circle type of deal. Swift’s fifth studio album found her leaning fully into pop music.

The record had three No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, namely “Bad Blood” featuring Kendrick Lamar, “Shake It Off,” and “Blank Space.” Other tracks like “Style” and “Wildest Dreams” made it to the Top 10 following its release.

It also took home Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album at the Grammy Awards. At the time, it made Swift the first female solo artist to win twice for AOTY. (She has since earned a third for her 2020 album, Folklore.)

Shortly after the album’s original release, Swift removed her catalog from Spotify, citing the ways streaming prevented songwriters from getting royalties. While her music is now back on the streamer, this move didn’t affect the massive success of 1989 at all.

When the new version is released, those who might have been too young or not around for the original run get to experience the joys of this era all over again.

1989 (Taylor’s Version) is out 10/27 via Republic Records. Find more information here.

Taylor Swift is gearing up to release her next re-recording with 1989 (Taylor’s Version) arriving in just a few days. For those who aren’t already aware of its release dates, it will be out in the world on October 27 — 10 days away as of this writing.

“Surprise!!” Swift wrote in the original announcement. “1989 (Taylor’s Version) is on its way to you [soon]! The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways, and it fills me with such excitement to announce that my version of it will be out October 27th. To be perfectly honest, this is my most FAVORITE re-record I’ve ever done because the 5 From The Vault tracks are so insane. I can’t believe they were ever left behind. But not for long!”

Compared to Swift’s other re-recordings, her new version of 1989 is the first to not include any collaborations. Swift added five new vault tracks of previously unheard songs: “Is It Over Now?,” “Now That We Don’t Talk,” “Say Don’t Go,” “Suburban Legends,” and “Slut!.”

As for the next possible re-recorded Swif album to come after 1989 (Taylor’s Version), there are only two left: her self-titled debut and Reputation. However, many fans have suspected from easter eggs that the latter will be the next in the release sequence.

A few days ago, Liam Gallagher announced that next year he would be honoring the 30th anniversary of Oasis’ debut album, Definitely Maybe, by embarking on a solo tour. Given that his brother, Noel, was obviously missing from the equation, fans on social media had some questions. And Liam answered.

“But are you going to give us the surprise that Noel is going to join the DM tour or not, Liam?” one person asked.

“He’s been asked and he’s refused,” Liam responded on Twitter.

Liam first unveiled the news on Instagram, with a list of dates around the UK and Europe.

“I’m bouncing around the house to announce the Definitely Maybe Tour,” he wrote in the caption. “The most important album of the ‘90s bar none. I wouldn’t be anywhere without it and neither would you, so let’s celebrate together LG x.”

As the star of one of the most absurdly popular movie franchises in movie history, Daniel Radcliffe is used to being the subject of out-there internet speculation. (Unless he hates all of it. Maybe he does.) Here’s one: He got buff so he could take over the role of Wolverine from Hugh Jackman. Is it true? Well, judge for yourself.

The Harry Potter alum (who’s not interested in more of that, thank you very much) sat down for a lie detector test for Vanity Fair, during which he was grilled by his current Merrily We Roll Along castmates Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez. In a bit teased out by Entertainment Weekly, at one point Mendez asked him if he was the one who started said rumor. He denied it, which doubled as him denying he wanted to play the X-Men’s angriest mutant.

“So you just buff for no reason?” Mendez shot back.

“Yes,” Radcliffe replied, laughing. “I got buff because I am obsessive, and I want to… You’ve seen my parents, they’re like insane fitness people. So that’s just been passed on.” He added, “But no Wolverine. Flattered. But no.”

At no point does the test expert chime in to say Radcliffe is lying.

Where did this rumor come from? It began when he showed off some muscles during an underwear scene from Season 4 of his Steve Buscemi show Miracle Workers.

Elsewhere in the interrogation, Radcliffe is asked about the weirdest stories he’s encountered about himself. He has quite the list:

“That I had the [UK Special Air Service] walk my dogs. That I had special beer brewed for myself by monks in a monastery in Belgium. That I used to get my assistant to hold my scripts in the mirror so I could read it while I was having makeup done — even though that doesn’t make f*cking sense because I wouldn’t be able to read mirror writing. There’s a long list.”

You can watch Radcliffe trying not to get caught lying in the video below. The revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along is currently running on Broadway.

Post Malone appeared for a new interview on The Howard Stern Show, during which he reflected on his experience meeting Taylor Swift years ago. The two were backstage at a show, and the pop star revealed she loved his music.

“We were just passing by and she was like, ‘Oh my God! Nice to see you,’” Malone shared. “‘Better Now is f*cking amazing!’”

There was also a video of the supposed moment at the time. “I’m so jealous of that song, that hook,” Swift can be heard saying.

The rapper then shared the rest of what he said to Swift: “I was like, ‘What? That’s f*cking crazy, you’re a great f*cking songwriter! Thank you so very much.’”

Malone also noted that the moment meant a ton to him. “There’s so many beautiful artists in the world and for another artist to acknowledge that is a really, really b*tching thing,” he said. “It’s a really special thing. That was a really cool moment and it was very inspiring.”

Since then, Malone and Swift have hung out again, as he described the pop star as “genuinely one of the most kind and considerate [people]” and “a f*cking hell of a songwriter,” according to Rolling Stone.
