Rolling Loud Miami is back, and this time, it is bringing its most diverse lineup yet. This year’s lineup is stacked with some of the best acts in hip-hop, but according to a release, Rolling Loud Miami is “branching out across the genre spectrum for the first time” and featuring artists who “don’t make rap music, but still bring a hip-hop ethos.”

Some of these artists include “Boy’s A Liar” hitmaker PinkPantheress, Foushée, Bryson Tiller, and Turnstile.

Festivities kick off at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium on Friday, July 21, where Playboi Carti, Ice Spice, PinkPantheress, Lil Durk, Lil Yachty, and Foushée will take the stage.

On Saturday, July 22nd, Travis Scott will perform, as well as City Girls, Rae Sremmurd, GloRilla, Coi Leray, Nav, and Trippie Redd.

ASAP Rocky, Turnstile, Polo G, Latto, Don Toliver, Bryson Tiller, and Freddie Gibbs will close out the festival on Sunday, July 23rd.

General on-sale for tickets will begin Friday (April 14) at 10 a.m. ET. Tickets will be available for purchase here.

Some of the artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Okay, folks, this is not a drill. The Muppets Mayhem series is finally coming to Disney+, and when I say “everybody is in it,” I really mean EVERYBODY IS IN IT.

Muppets media is well-known for its hilarious cameos — who doesn’t love the Muppets? — but this musical film, which follows the house/jam band Dr. Teeth And The Electric Mayhem as they try to record their first album after 40 years, has all the justification it needs to pack in the guest stars like fans at a Phish concert.

You want musicians? Series stars Lilly Singh and Tahj Mowry (as a pair of record execs) pair up the band with EDM stars DeadMau5 and Zedd, while an in-film documentary clip features Chris Stapleton, Lil Nas X, and Tommy Lee paying homage to the fictional band and even crediting them with their influence.

Weird Al makes an appearance in the clip above, as do Cheech and Chong. Kesha shows up. Not only does Morgan Freeman show up, but he also does so rocking a bright blue wig and matching fedora! There’s even a Grease/Anchorman-style Stan gang war after Dr. Teeth accidentally upsets the Beyhive AND the Swifties at the same time (have mercy on his soul, Jesus)!

You can check out the trailer above and catch all episodes of the series on Disney+ beginning May 10.

Lil Dicky is an acquired taste, and the entertainer is absolutely ok with that. The Dave star has no problem leaning into his quirkiness, even if that means awkwardly sharing too much information with other celebrities, including Usher and Larry David. The comedian has no regrets about being his naturally offbeat self. Another thing the musician doesn’t regret his past collaboration with singer Chris Brown.

During his recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lil Dicky joined the likes of Chlöe when recounting his 2018 song “Freaky Friday.”

“I love that song. I still love that song. It went to No. 1 in multiple nations, and without that song, I don’t know that I could have made [a charity single] like ‘Earth,’ where I raised, like, $3 million [to fight against climate change],” said Dicky.

Dicky seemingly acknowledges what his former collaborator has been accused of by adding, “I know that my heart is good. I really do. I don’t lose sleep at night about my heart. And you can never be perfect, and sometimes I’ll still be dumb and unaware, but I really do care so much about doing the right thing.”

The entertainer closed with, “And listen, I get why someone wouldn’t like a Lil Dicky song, but I’d never be ok with someone being like, ‘That guy’s an asshole,’ or ‘That guy’s a piece of sh*t.’ I’ve never had that experience as Dave Burd, the man, so for my art to cause that reaction, my God, it really hurts me.”

Chis Brown has not yet spoken on the matter.

Foo Fighters, as they’ve already planned their return to touring after Taylor Hawkins’ passing, have also shared an apparent new glimpse of what their music will sound like without their late drummer. In a new video uploaded to Twitter, the track plays an electric rock instrumental loop.

“Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” it says on the white background in the clip, something that might be a potential lyric or even the song’s title. Or something else entirely. Just yesterday, they also added some extra tour dates to their already-stacked summer — which includes numerous festival appearances.

Fans in the replies are more than excited, doing everything to guess what else the Foo Fighters have in store. “New music LET’S GO!!! Everyone saying new drummer and for touring sure… But my money is on Dave going back to where it started and recording the drums himself on the new music/album,” one wrote.

“You’re going to surprise us with a Coachella set this weekend?” someone else hoped.

Whatever it is, Foo Fighters do have a full plan to make their return, no matter what form that takes.

“Without Taylor, we never would have become the band that we were,” the band had shared on New Year’s Eve. “And without Taylor, we know that we’re going to be a very different band going forward.”

Here’s hoping there’s new music on the horizon, though.

Back in 2018, word surfaced of The Continental limited series, envisioned as a Starz-airing John Wick prequel that would take place in Los Angeles rather than New York City, where the movies are primarily set. Things have changed. The project is now a three-evening event series that landed at Peacock, and New York is still the place for the John Wick world of assassins, and it doesn’t seem likely that Keanu Reeves would cameo as suggested long ago.

One could guess that this could be due to how John Wick 4 ended, but nope. Despite all that, Keanu is set to appear in the Ana de Armas-starring Ballerina film (set for a June 2024 release). The actual (and logical) reason is that The Continental takes the John Wick world back to the 1970s, a time before John Wick’s most pivotal dog was even born! As well, the spinoff focuses on the assassin-welcoming hotel where Winston is not embodied by Ian McShane because we’re not time traveling, thank goodness.

His previous incarnation is portrayed by Colin Woodell, who has some of his own quasi-hitman experience from The Flight Attendant. Woodell is visible in the above teaser trailer that doesn’t give away too much.

If you were hoping to find out anything about Mel Gibson’s “Cormac” character today, then you’re out of luck. Yet you can see the very stylish and semi-action-packed atmosphere above, and we will hopefully see more soon, given that the project has a release month of September. From the synopsis:

The three-part event will explore the origin behind the iconic hotel-for-assassins centerpiece of the John Wick universe through the eyes and actions of a young Winston Scott, as he’s dragged into the Hell-scape of 1970’s New York City to face a past he thought he’d left behind. Winston charts a deadly course through the hotel’s mysterious underworld in a harrowing attempt to seize the hotel where he will eventually take his future throne.

The Continental: From the World of John Wick also stars Ayomide Adegun (picking up Lance Reddick’s Charon), Katie McGrath (as The Adjudicator), Mishel Prada, Ben Robson, Hubert Point-Du Jour, Nhung Kate, Jessica Allain, Jeremy Bobb, and Peter Greene. And rest assured that, if you end up preferring the films, then there might be a fifth version coming at some point.

Check into the The Continental in September. Enjoy this newly release key art.

Hosting Saturday Night Live isn’t for everyone. On the one hand, it’s an iconic show which has featured dozens of A-list actors and musicians over the years. On the other hand, Pete Davidson isn’t in the cast anymore, so is it really worth watching? While some people think hosting SNL is a rite of passage, others are a little too nervous at the idea of standing on a stage in front of a few hundred New Yorkers, which is fair.

Ana de Armas will host the late-night show this weekend ahead of her new Apple TV+ movie Ghosted, also starring Chris Evans, though it doesn’t seem like Evans will want to tackle the hosting job anytime soon. When asked by ET Canada if he would join de Armas on stage for a cameo, Evans said that would be the only way to get him on the show. “Well, now a cameo I can handle,” Evans said, explaining that he has a lot of fear about actually hosting himself. “I’ve avoided hosting SNL like the plague for years now just because I’m so scared. It’s terrifying to me.”

Even though he doesn’t want to host a full show himself, he has no problem showing up for a fun little joke or two. “A cameo sounds great — that’s perfect,” Evans continued, applauding his co-star for accepting hosting duties. “But hosting, I tip my hat to her. She’s going to be amazing. But it would provide a lot of sleepless nights for me.”

Evans later explained his anxieties are in part due to the fact that he doesn’t feel like he is a funny guy. “Maybe I only feel that because I have very, very funny friends who once told me I’m not a funny person. It would just be an everyday anxiety, constant regret: ‘Why did I do this? I could have been comfortable at my house, in my bed, not worrying about this.’” Hopefully, his friend and co-star de Armas didn’t hear that last part. She will be great! Especially with Marilyn Monroe on her side.

So now there is another important question to ask: which one of Chris Evans’ famous friends thinks that he isn’t funny?

Lil Dicky‘s semiautobiographical series Dave is back for its third season on FXX. This season features Dicky as he embarks on his first cross-country tour to promote his debut album, but also, to look for love.

Dave is one of the buzziest shows on television, as it demonstrates Lil Dicky’s ability as both a rapper and a comic, something he’s always wanted to showcase.

In a profile on Lil Dicky for The Hollywood Reporter, Jeff Schaffer recalled how Lil Dicky first pitched the idea for a comedy show. At the time, Schaffer was already show-running Curb Your Enthusiasm and had previously written on Seinfeld. When he had first taken meetings with Dicky, he remembers a little analogy the rapper/actor would use to describe his abilities in both realms.

“He would literally say, ‘It’s like if Batman all of a sudden realized he was also Superman,’ and when he’d say it, they’d all look at me and I’d go, ‘Yeeeaaah,’ ” said Schaffer. “And, of course, they got the tone of the show immediately because they were meeting Dave.”

Off-screen, Dicky is preparing his long-awaited second studio album, which will be his first full-length album since 2015. However, he admitted in the profile that making music while balancing the show’s subject matter has become quite a challenge, which is why the album has been delayed frequently.

“[The label] will get one eventually, and they’re going to make a lot of money when they do,” said Dicky. “It’s just been harder for me to convey my perspective via music. It’s a lot easier to be like, ‘What am I going to make episodes about?’”

Dave airs Wednesday nights at 10 pm EST on FXX. Episodes are available for streaming on Hulu the next day.

After the news of Taylor Swift‘s reported breakup from Joe Alwyn hit over the weekend, it seems businesses are already attempting to cash in through some strange and slightly misogynistic ways — with Swifties not having it at all.

Just a few days ago, one person snapped a pic of a sign in their local Starbucks shop that was associating Swift’s exes with various drink orders. “Which Taylor Swift ex are you?” it read, listing choices for Harry Styles as a hot vanilla latte, Joe Jonas as their dragon drink, Tom Hiddleston as a London fog, and Joe Alwyn (with question marks) as a hot chai with oat milk.

“@Starbucks used @TaylorSwift13’s exes for their Marketing campaign and advantage – any thoughts?” someone said in a now-deleted post, according to The Independent, leaving fans to not hold back their thoughts at all.

“starbucks and duolingo using taylor and joe’s breakup as a promotional tactic is pathetic and so disrespectful. i don’t understand why people do this. her breakup shouldn’t be used for any promotional purposes or clout of any kind,” another added.

Due to the pushback, Starbucks eventually responded. “Thank you for bringing this to our attention! The content of this sign was not approved and has since been erased,” they wrote.

WARNING: Spoilers for The Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 7 below.

After spending time with Jack Black and Lizzo last week, The Mandalorian finally revealed the shadowy force behind the scenes of Season 3: Moff Gideon. Despite fan theories to the contrary, Giancarlo Esposito’s warlord is still in command of the Empire’s lingering presence. However, Star Wars fans know that Grand Admiral Thrawn is waiting in the wings. Not only was Thrawn name-dropped in this latest episode, Chapter 23 “The Spies,” but Lucasfilm recently confirmed that Lars Mikkelsen will portray the cunning blue alien threat when Ahsoka arrives in August.

In the meantime, Moff Gideon has other plans. Specifically, his secret base on Mandalore where he’s building a new army fitted with the warrior race’s powerful Beskar armor. He also knows that it’s only a matter of time until Bo-Katan and Mando arrive to retake the planet, which they think is uninhabited, and Gideon is fully prepared to leverage that fact.

With the element of surprise on his side, the cunning warlord’s forces make short work of the Mandalorians after luring them into the secret Imperial base. Mando is captured in the battle, but what happened next melted Star Wars fans faces. As Jon Favreau’s hulking Paz Vizla stays behind to give the remaining Mandalorians a chance to escape, he’s cut down by the arrival of three Praetorian Guards a.k.a. the red dudes from that badass throne room fight in The Last Jedi.

Star Wars fans lost their mind at seeing The Mandalorian continue to weave itself into the Sequel Trilogy’s lore. You can see some of the reactions below:

New episodes of The Mandalorian stream Wednesday on Disney+.

Something In The Water Festival, the Pharrell-led shindig returning to Virginia Beach on April 28, has revealed the “final” lineup of the Pharrell’s Phriends headlining set. This year, the multitalented, nigh-ageless producer will be joined on stage by a cadre of blog-era faves and Golden Era influences. ASAP Rocky and M.I.A. will represent the former, while Native Tongues mainstays Busta Rhymes and De La Soul make up the latter. Meanwhile, the updated flyer promises even more surprise guests that “we can’t announce” yet, so it seems fans will want to stick around to find out who else shows up.

In the past, Pharrell’s Phriends have included frequent collaborators like Clipse, Justin Timberlake, NORE, and Q-Tip, as well as SZA. This year’s additions include artists who share Pharrell’s adventurous, experimental approach to music, as well as the artists who inspired him as a young, aspiring rapper. Pharrell recently gave fans his advice on which of De La Soul’s recently re-released albums to stream and was once in a rap trio that was very De La Soul/A Tribe Called Quest-inspired with Timbaland and Magoo called Surrounded By Idiots. They recorded a demo that you can find on YouTube, but never released an album.

In addition to the Pharrell’s Phriends performers above, the festival also added Arcade Fire, Jonas Brothers, and Third Eye Blind to the lineup.

Something In The Water Festival is April 28-30 in Virginia Beach. You can find more info here.
