When it comes to memorable romantic comedies, Meg Ryan is one of the all-time greats. The actress dominated the genre with classics like When Harry Met Sally, You’ve Got Mail, and Sleepless in Seattle among others. Now, she’s back with her directorial debut, What Happens Later, and the trailer is giving off those old school rom-com vibes.

The film pairs David Duchovny with Ryan as two exes who haven’t seen in each other in 20 years, but are now stranded at an airport together where they’re awkwardly forced to reconnect. Being together quickly reminds them why they broke up, but like any good romantic comedy, they also start to remember why they fell in love.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Two ex lovers, Bill (David Duchovny) and Willa (Meg Ryan) get snowed in at a regional airport overnight. Indefinitely delayed, Willa, a magical thinker, and Bill, a catastrophic one, find themselves just as attracted to and annoyed by one another as they did decades earlier. But as they unpack the riddle of their mutual past and compare their lives to the dreams they once shared, they begin to wonder if their reunion is mere coincidence, or something more enchanted.

Now if we can just get some rom-coms starring our favorite beefy boys, all will be right with the world.
What Happens Later opens in theaters on October 13.

Drake’s It’s All A Blur Tour returned to Canada last night, stopping in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. As it had back in July when Drake hit his hometown Toronto, the tour proceeded without its usual supporting act, 21 Savage, who cannot leave the US due to his immigration status. In Toronto, Savage’s set was replaced with one featuring J. Cole; on Tuesday (August 29), Travis Scott stepped up to take over, performing a set including his Drake collaborations “Sicko Mode” from Astroworld and the new “Meltdown” from Utopia.

The Vancouver stop was originally billed as the second night of two; however, the first night, Monday (August 28), was postponed at the last minute, leaving some fans perplexed and disappointed. According to the Rogers Arena Twitter (not calling it X), there were issues with a new videoboard, prompting the arena to reschedule the Monday show to Wednesday, August 30.

Travis and Drake’s performance of “Meltdown” marks the first time the duo has performed the song live. The song’s debut earlier this month caused some light controversy when fans wondered whether Drake’s verse is an attempt to rekindle his smoldering rivalries with Pusha T and Kanye West. You can check out more performance videos from the show below, and catch Travis Scott live on his Circus Maximus Tour, which was officially announced last night as well.

K-pop group Tomorrow X Together is making waves in the US. This past summer, they had a big hit with their Jonas Brothers collab “Do It Like That” and released an album called Sweet back in July. Now, almost two months after the release of Sweet, they have announced a new album. Tomorrow X Together will share their new album, The Name Chapter: Freefall, this fall.

The album was announced via BigHit Music’s social media pages yesterday (August 29) with as special teaser trailer.

The boys of Tomorrow X Together have been hard at work this year. In an interview with Consequence, member Beomgyu shared that he and his bandmates — Soobin, Yeonjun, Taehyun, and Hueningkai — see each other more often than their own families. But he also said he considers them family as well.

“The joy that I get the most in my everyday life is my members,” he said. “I think we were close to being best friends before, but now I think we are a true family.”

Pre-orders for The Name Chapter: Freefall will begin today, with the album to arrive in October. You can see the album trailer above.

The Name Chapter: Freefall is out 10/13 via Republic Records. Find more information here.

For those who might have missed it, Scooter Braun has been in the news, with reports of many of his famous clients including Ariana Grande, Carly Rae Jepsen, and more leaving his management company. While it hasn’t fully been confirmed, it hasn’t stopped those who dislike Braun to poke fun at the rumors.

Taylor Swift, who is re-recording her albums after Braun purchased her original masters from her former label, hasn’t spoken about it. However, it doesn’t mean her closest collaborators, like Jack Antonoff, have to be quiet. Antonoff recently posted a meme to his Instagram Story of the one where the Sims woman is so distracted on her computer that she doesn’t realize her baby is on fire.

“Not now, sweetie, mommy is trying to figure out why Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, and Idina Menzel just fired Scooter Braun as their manager,” the caption reads.

Right below it, he leaves a purchase link to the new Bleachers live album. Fans were instantly laughing over Antonoff’s story.

“Jack taking a break from his honeymoon to stir the pot,” one person wrote.

“Taylor gonna call him up to delete this in …. hahaha,” another added.

Others made jokes about the fact that Antonoff and Swift’s groupchat must be having a blast right now. Check out his story post below.

Christmas and Hanukkah are still months away, but it’s not too early to lock down your dad’s gift: a ticket to see Ferrari. The Michael Mann-directed movie isn’t just for dads, as everyone can and should see Adam Driver as famous car guy Enzo Ferrari and Penélope Cruz as his wife Laura. But come on.

It’s a Michael Mann movie about fast cars. It’s a dad movie (complimentary).

Neon has released the first look at Ferrari, which premieres at the 80th Venice International Film Festival this month before coming to theaters on December 25th. There’s only line of dialogue spoken in the teaser (Driver’s Italian accent is better than Jared Leto’s in House of Gucci), but the entire time I felt like I was racing towards a panic attack. Michael Mann is back, baby!

Here’s more:

It is the summer of 1957. Behind the spectacle of Formula 1, ex-racer Enzo Ferrari is in crisis. Bankruptcy threatens the factory he and his wife, Laura built from nothing ten years earlier. Their volatile marriage has been battered by the loss of their son, Dino a year earlier. Ferrari struggles to acknowledge his son Piero with Lina Lardi. Meanwhile, his drivers’ passion to win pushes them to the edge as they launch into the treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy, the Mille Miglia.

Ferrari also stars Shailene Woodley, Sarah Gordon, Gabriel Leone, Jack O’Connell, and Patrick Dempsey.

Remember when Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were married? That was weird. Also weird: whatever the rapper and his “wife” Bianca Censori were caught doing in Italy. I’ll let TMZ paint a beautiful picture: “The two hopped on a water taxi, and that’s when things got cheeky… as Kanye’s entire backside was exposed as he tried to sit near the back of the vessel. Apparently, Kanye didn’t notice his butt was out, or maybe he just didn’t care.”

Kardashian, who called co-parenting with West “really f*cking hard,” is reportedly “embarrassed and worried” for her ex-husband. “Kim’s been so worried about the new pics that have come out with Bianca – like how will she explain it all to the kids?” an insider told the Sun. “She’s embarrassed and worried for him – he’s wandering around barefoot with champagne in the street, something clearly isn’t right.” The mysterious source added, “It’s like every time Kanye and Bianca pull these nearly-naked stunts, it reminds everyone that Kim dressed up in skintight nude outfits during the marriage.”

Does it, though? The thing I remember the most about Kim and Kanye being together is the snake thing. The outfits aren’t even in the top 10.

The insider had one more thing to say: “She’d rather put it behind her and forget about it.” The public at large agrees.

A concert can be an emotional experience for fans, especially if it’s one of their favorite artists they’re seeing live. Emotions will definitely run high if you get dumped at a show, which is just what happened to one Chlöe fan recently. Chlöe was there for support, though, offering encouragement when she heard the news.

In a tweet shared last night (August 29), the fan wrote, “I just got dumped at @ChloeBailey concert [teary-eyed emoji] [crying emoji] she was a bad b*tch tho!! Bro just blew my night fr.” Chlöe quote-tweeted the post and added, “wtf. better off without him. onto the next!!! love you boo.”

At this point, the fan saw an opportunity and took it, replying to Chlöe, “ayo listen, if yall wanna make feel better, go stream my music,” along with a link to their Spotify artist page. Another user expressed hope that the fan enjoyed the concert regardless of the relationship status shift and she responded, “LOVVVVEEEDDD EVERY SECOND.”

Meanwhile, Chlöe recently appeared to address pregnancy rumors surrounding sister Halle Bailey, saying, “Y’all better keep my sister’s name out your mouth, thank you. Amen, hallelujah. ‘Bout to get me riled the hell up.” Somebody off camera said, “We don’t play about Halle.” Chlöe added, “No. Like, what the heck? Period.”

Last night (August 29), Doja Cat shared the cover art for her upcoming album Scarlet; While it’s fair to doubt whether this is the actual cover art given how many times Doja has changed her mind about the project, the same image appears on her official website, so it seems to be legit. Some have noticed, though, that the art is pretty much exactly the same as the cover of another album, an album that’s even coming out on the same day as Scarlet.

Pop Crave points out that spider paintings appear on the cover of both Scarlet and metal band Chaver’s upcoming album, Of Gloom, which, like Scarlet, is set for release on September 22. (Here’s Chaver’s announcement post from July 29, and here’s Doja’s from yesterday.)

There are some subtle differences between the two spiders, like the shape and position of some legs and appendages, and the shape of the fluid drop above the spider’s head. One painting isn’t just an edited version of the other, as they appear to be two distinct, albeit strikingly similar, artworks. There are more similarities than differences, though, including the fact that both covers were created by the same artist, Dusty Ray, who Chaver credited in their announcement post and who Doja credited in an Instagram Story post.

So far, neither Doja, Chaver, nor Ray have shared a public comment about the similarity between the album covers.

Scarlet is out 9/22 via Kemosabe Records/RCA Records. Find more information here.

Katy Kirby was on our 2021 list of Indie Artists To Watch thanks to her hypnotic debut album Cool Dry Place. She’s toured with acts like Sun June, Ada Lea, and more; now she’s back with a new song after signing to the label Anti-.

“Cubic Zirconia” has Kirby’s signature charm and tranquil energy. In a statement, she explained that the glimmering track is about love, admiration, and diamonds. Read what she said:

“I’ve been trying to write this song for nearly four years, but it only came into focus for me when I fell in love with a girl for the first time. It’s an attempt to say something that I don’t think I’m smart enough to articulate outside of the song — something about how much I admire when someone is unembarrassed of being explicit about the cosmetic and aesthetic choices they make for themselves. Why wouldn’t you love the little tricks of their trade — the way they wear makeup, the clothes and mannerisms that make them feel safest and most themselves — why wouldn’t these little tricks be the most endearing artifacts of their inner essence? If you loved someone, why would you not love those choices? It’s an honor to get that close to someone — close enough to see how they construct the image of themselves with which they move through the world as best they can (as we all do). Why wouldn’t that be enough?

Cubic Zirconia! A lab-grown diamond. A salute to whatever the world looks down on as “artificial” — even a defense of artifice. It seems like naturalness is not only a dangerously vague and subjective concept, but that whenever those concepts get invoked, the invoker is almost invariably being manipulative or even malicious. Insofar as the line between authentic/fake, natural/unnatural, organic/synthetic artificial/genuine is hopelessly thin. Insofar as it’s a line that shifts constantly and doesn’t seem to be in anyone’s interest except the people who’ve decided that they’re the most qualified to draw that line. What a useless concept. What an extremely suspicious concept to leverage in assessing someone’s worth. What a sanctimonious little scam!”

Listen to “Cubic Zirconia” above.

One of Donald Trump’s selling points to the American people is that he’s (allegedly!) a great and unimaginably wealthy businessman. But what if he’s not? What if there’s a reason he’s constantly begging his sometimes cash-strapped supporters for money, asking them to do things like help fix his private plane? On Monday, his eldest son even spent part of his latest podcast begging people to stop buying MAGA merch from people who aren’t him.

As per HuffPost, a reasonably clam Don Jr. told viewers interested in buying things like t-shirts emblazoned with his father’s mugshot to avoid third-party sellers, who he accused of “lining their own pockets” rather than giving it back to his dad (or just him).

“I get other people have made [a] very good living doing the MAGA merch, even if,” he said, but noted that “none of the money actually goes toward the [Trump] campaign or the cause.”

But Don Jr. would never seek to make a profit. After all, “the cause” is more important than capitalism. He claimed he wouldn’t “feel right about profiting” from his dad’s legal woes. Besides, he said, “I’d probably actually get killed in the press, thinking about it now.”

Instead, if Trumpists gave him money instead of those crafty capitalists hawking their own MAGA wares, Don Jr. made a solemn oath to funnel “all of the profits” to his dad’s legal plight, so he could “push back against some of the insanity, the miscarriage of justice.”

Sadly, some weren’t buying Don Jr.’s claims, postulating that this was simply one grifter calling out other grifters.

Don Jr.’s dad currently faces 91 charges across four separate criminal cases. His team has claimed prosecutors are working at the behest of President Joe Biden in what amounts to “election interference,” which as it happens is what he’s accused of doing in the case in Georgia.
