The dreaded day for fans fawning over “Enséñame a Bailar” musician Bad Bunny has arrived. After months of speculation, it appears as if Bad Bunny is ready to reveal his current relationship status. The Grammy Award-winning entertainer seemingly confirmed his long-rumored romance with model and reality television star Kendall Jenner in a rather extravagant Kardashian-Jenner way.

The pair were cozy as they posed for fashion house Gucci’s latest advertisement campaign for their Savoy collection. Their chemistry can’t be ignored. Earlier in the week, Bad Bunny’s music video for his latest song, “Un Preview,” included subtle nods to Jenner.

On September 12, during an interview with Vanity Fair, although Bad Bunny didn’t confirm the relationship, he did take a moment to address fans’ over-investment in the lives of public figures. Read his full response below.

[Fans] don’t know how you feel, they don’t know how you live, they don’t know anything, and I really don’t want them to know. I’m not really interested in clarifying anything because I have no commitment to clarify anything to anyone. I am clear, and my friend Jomar is clear, and my mother is clear. They are the only ones to whom I have to clarify anything.

As for Juliana Dominguez from Mississippi, I have nothing I need to clarify to her. Never. About anything. There are people who say that artists have to put up with it. I don’t have to accept anything and everything because I wanted to be an artist. At the end of the day, you listen to me because you want to. I don’t force you to.

Thanks to her Dunkin culinary collaboration, “Deli” rapper Ice Spice is all about sweet pumpkin treats. However, burnt buns were almost on the menu during her recent show. As Ice Spice prepares to hit the road with Doja Cat for The Scarlet Tour next month, she’s finishing up her prior bookings. Yesterday (September 30), while performing in Sydney, Australia, for the 2023 Listen Out Music festival, things unexpectedly heated up.

When Ice Spice began to get in position for her now signature twerk move, the onstage special effects nearly injured her. The pyrotechnics shot off dangerously close to Ice Spice’s backside in a sequence of blasts. Ice Spice seemed unphased the first two times that the pyro cannon went off. However, the final blast stopped her in the middle of the song “Princess Diana.” Fans captured the incident on video, to which you can see Ice Spice visually shaken up, then saying, “Hold up. Woah!”

Ice Spice reposted the clip to her Instagram page with the caption, “Swipe to see pyro take me the f*ck out.”

Knowing that she was safe once the video was shared, fans online began to chime in with jokes. View some of their response below.

Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher is but a short story. Movie adaptations don’t tend to run long either. Roger Corman’s 1960 version, starring Vincent Price and which kickstarted a whole cycle of Poe adaptations by the low-budget master, is under 80 minutes long. There’s a new House of Usher take hitting Netflix, from The Haunting of Hill House’s Mike Flanagan. It’s another of his limited series. But how much has he Stretch Armstronged Poe’s slender tale out to?

Per Collider, Flanagan’s iteration of Usher lasts a whopping eight episodes. Granted, as with his previous takes on classic Gothic literature, he’s using the source more as inspiration than as a Bible. His is not a straight-up take on Poe’s tale of a brother and sister wallowing away in a decaying estate. Here’s Collider’s description of Flanagan’s updated take on the classic tale:

Roderick Usher is the CEO of Fortunato Pharmaceuticals, and together with his cunning twin sister Madeline, he oversees a vast corporate empire. The actions of a shapeshifting demon from his past bent on killing his children and a determined attorney who wants to expose the corruption behind Fortunato Pharmaceuticals begin to unravel the world of the Ushers, leading Roderick to a confrontation with his own past sins.

In the past, Flanagan has milked a lot of classic Gothic lit. He took Shirley Jackson’s 246-paged novel The Haunting of Hill House and spread it over 10 episodes. The Haunting of Bly Manor used Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw as its basis but included elements from other James works to pad it out to nine episodes. For him a Fall of the House of Usher that runs eight episodes is nothing.

You can watch the trailer for The Fall of the House of Usher below. It hits Netflix on October 12.

For years, the NFL has made it very clear that their intention is to protect the quarterback. Sometimes they go to controversial lengths to do so, as the roughing the passer rule has been steadily expanded to include accidental contact to the head as well as landing on the QB with your body weight.

However, the rules governing late hits out of bounds are not controversial and are, in fact, about the most clear cut of those points of emphasis on protecting QBs. Most defenders pull up now on quarterbacks running towards the sideline, choosing to simply escort them out rather than risk a penalty. Raiders lineman Jerry Tillery is apparently not among those, as we found out on Sunday when he absolutely blew up Justin Herbert on the Chargers sideline after he had already put two feet on the white, resulting in a kerfuffle and, ultimately, an ejection for Tillery.

Herbert popped up and was fine, but this is about as bad of a late hit as you’ll see these days given how defenders have been conditioned to treat these situations. The Chargers would naturally score shortly after on a Herbert to Keenan Allen touchdown pass to take advantage of the extra 15 yards of field position.

Britney Spears is cutting loose on social media. From her racy videos to her exotic choreography tutorials, Spears is reclaiming her joy for her forty-two million followers. Unfortunately not everyone finds her antics entertaining. On Tuesday, September 26, after a clip of knife-wielding Spears went viral, the police went to her home for a welfare check.

Although Spears insisted that people lighten up, ensuring that her seemingly dangerous choreography was safe, cops were sure to investigate the situation further. Following the encounter Saturday, September 30, Spears returned to social media with a striking message blasting the officers for their mistreatment.

Read her complete response below.

Is it a joke in the news again with wellness checks??? Come on, America … we’re cooler than that, right??? The officers came to my home and said they would not leave until they spoke to me as people do 4-minute performances with them. I am getting an apology. I’ve been bullied in my home for so long now…IT’S ENOUGH! Don’t talk about it, come on, let’s DO!!! As my mom does the silent treatment when paps ask questions about her own daughter, as if I’m in the wrong…nope, it’s an old game. People need to be responsible for their actions! It’s about power for cops.

Since the termination of her conservatorship, Spears has used her various social media platforms to let supporters into the inner workings of her new life.

The Cincinnati Bengals, having made back-to-back AFC Championship games, were expected to be one of the contenders once again this season, as Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and that offense were supposed to be among the NFL’s best.

However, through four games the Bengals offense has been pretty dreadful, averaging 12.25 points per game through four games, including a pair of 3-point outings on their way to a 1-3 start. Sunday was yet another dismal effort, as they could only muster 211 total yards against the Titans in a 27-3 loss and afterwards, frustrations seemed to be mounting. Burrow has dealt with a lingering calf issue since training camp, but even beyond his health not at 100 percent, something has seemed off with Cincinnati’s offense. The line play has not been good, seemingly regressing from last year, and that’s contributed to inconsistency in the passing game and a fairly ineffective rushing attack.

As tends to happen when the offense isn’t performing, the Bengals star pass catcher Ja’Marr Chase doesn’t seem particularly pleased with being seen as part of the problem. After Sunday’s loss, in which Chase was among the few bright spots with 7 catches and 73 yards, Chase declared emphatically that he’s “always f**king open,” via WCPO’s Marshall Kramsky.

Chase is far from the first and will be far from the last star receiver to make such a declaration, and it is hard to pin much of their struggles on him. He had 12 catches for 141 yards a week ago and 7 for 73 on Sunday, meaning he’s probably not all that far off from the truth when he says he’s always open. The problem is, Burrow doesn’t have the time to get to him in his progression and also doesn’t have his normal mobility to extend plays and find his longtime favorite target dating back to their LSU days. It’ll be interesting to see if the Bengals can figure something out on offense in the next two weeks facing the Cardinals and Seahawks before they continue their NFC West tour with a showdown against the very good 49ers defense. Arizona certainly feels like a get-right spot to lower tensions, but if they sputter again against the Cardinals, we’ll see how Chase and others respond with tensions already high.

The Los Angeles Rams looked like they were headed for a blowout win in Indianapolis after running out to a 23-0 first lead early in the third quarter, but Anthony Richardson and the Colts had other ideas as they stormed back to tie the game in the closing minutes and force overtime.

The Rams won the coin toss, but needed to suddenly find some life offensively after stalling out for most of the second half, and were able to do so behind Matthew Stafford, Kyren Williams, and one of the breakout stars of the early season, Puka Nacua. Stafford found Williams on a few checkdowns to early in the drive to move it downfield into Indianapolis territory. Once there, the Rams faced a 3rd and 4 from just outside the red zone and Stafford found his favorite target of the first quarter of the season when Nacua got free on a coverage bust by the Colts against a bunched formation and strolled into the end zone for the game-winner.

There was clearly a miscommunication in the Colts secondary on who was going to carry the middle and who would jump to the flat, and both defenders jumped outside leaving the man who has 39 catches in his first four games in the NFL wide open in the middle of the field.

It’s the first touchdown of Nacua’s career, as he’s quickly established himself as a threat in the middle of the field and, in this instance, got some help from a bust and made the most of it by ending the game and avoiding a disastrous collapse on the road. It’s a tough way for the Colts to drop the game given their second half performance on both sides of the ball, but there still has to be some optimism in Indy, particularly with the way their rookie quarterback keeps making plays in big moments.

Reboots! They’re all the rage, and have been of ages now. Usually, though, they try to give the audience more of the same. Some, rare though it is, think outside the box. Indeed, fans of a certain ‘90s NBC favorite will be in for a bit of a shock when its own rehash returns to streaming or network or wherever it winds up.

In an interview with Vanity Fair (in a bit teased out by Entertainment Weekly), Mayim Bialik — actress, academic, author, and sometime Jeopardy! host — confirmed rumors that there’s a revival afoot for Blossom, the teen sitcom/dramedy that made her a star (after playing young Bette Middler in Beaches, that is).

“I’m happy to tell you that, yes, it’s true,” Bialik said. “All of the cast and the original creator and producers are on board, and we believe a reboot can and should exist once the strike ends.”

There’s one catch, though. “We’re hoping to reboot it not as a sitcom, though,” she revealed. “We want to bring back these interesting, deep characters—a child of divorce, a recovering drug addict, an alcoholic—to see them in a whole new way.”

It’s not a total stretch to see Blossom taking a more serious bent. The show, in which Bialik played a teen girl being raised by her single father (Ted Wass) with a friend named Six (Jenna von Oÿ), had a yen for “Very Special Episodes,” in which they seriously tackled the issues (with a couple token jokes). Even for an age in which lots of sitcoms popped up the occasional VSE, Blossom leaned into them more than most.

Bialik may have less time to focus on Blossom 2.0 than she did recently. She turned down the chance to host Celebrity Jeopardy! because of the then-ongoing WGA strike. Last week that strike came to a close after nearly five months, thus freeing her up to meet more people who had crushes on her when they were young.

The Dolphins and Bills meet on Sunday in the most anticipated matchup of Week 4 in the NFL, as Miami was coming off of a 70-point performance against the Broncos, while Buffalo seemed to be finally finding its stride after a dismal opener in New York.

Early on, the game delivered on all fronts as the two teams combined to score touchdowns on the first five drives of the game, with Stefon Diggs breaking a 14-14 tie as he slipped behind the linebacker on a catch from Josh Allen on a crossing route in the middle of the field.

After the touchdown, Diggs decided to go celebrate with the good people of Buffalo, running over and snagging a couple cold beers and going full Stone Cold on them, smashing them together to shower the front row.

It’s an expensive celebration for whoever donated those two beers to the cause, but I’m sure they won’t mind as long as the Bills keep running it up on the Miami defense. Diggs wasn’t done with a huge first half as, after some rare punting from both teams, the Bills got the ball back and Allen again found Diggs, this time on the perimeter where he shed two tacklers before taking off down the sideline for a long touchdown to push Buffalo in front by 14.

This time there were no beers smashed in celebration by Diggs, but I’m sure there were some being sprayed in the crowd as Buffalo was feeling it in the first half against the red hot Dolphins.

On Saturday, a mere three hours before the deadline, Congress passed a stopgap spending measure to avoid a shutdown of the federal government — for the time being. All the bill does is delay matters for 45 days. Will the MAGA extremist wing, populated by the likes of professional nuisance Matt Gaetz, try to shut things down again? Almost certainly. And Democrats are already bracing for the next tussle.

Per Insider, John Fetterman — fresh off the even more important pickle over the Senate dress code — torched the MAGA twerps for sowing chaos instead of helping American citizenry.

“I voted at 8:30pm on a Saturday night, that’s my job. But the American people should never have to worry about their government shutting down,” Fetterman wrote in a statement. “Pushing the snooze button solves nothing, because these same losers will try to pull the same sh*t in 45 days.”

Fetterman added that he’s “done normalizing this dysfunction,” adding, “This is not entertainment, it’s governance. We must not allow the Freedom Caucus to turn our government into The Steve Wilkos Show.”

He was of course referring to the show that carries on the proud tradition of The Jerry Springer Show, where guests may act like maniacs but at least they don’t heckle presidents as they’re talking about their dead sons, much less get handsy during a production of the Beetlejuice musical.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shared similar sentiments, saying there aren’t any “moderates in the Republican party” any more, “just different degrees of fealty to Donald Trump.” She also compared their desperate antics to thwart Democrats to an out-of-control Roomba, desperately searching for a “door that Democrats opened.”

For now, though, the federal government is up and running and Matt Gaetz is already plotting Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy’s ouster — unless he gets expelled first.
