Thanks to Demi Lovato, spooky season is here a little earlier this year. The former Disney hitmaker recently unveiled a snippet of her new track “Still Alive” for the upcoming Scream VI soundtrack. The “Skyscraper” singer, with the help of a very familiar (and creepy) face, shared a video on her TikTok ahead of the song’s release.

The song — her first project since 2022’s Holy Fvck— is slated to be released on March 3, right before the film’s release on March 10.

Along with her new single, Demi will soon make an appearance on the small screen. The singer and actress are expected to guest star in the upcoming third season of Lil Dicky’s Dave series on FX.

The sixth installment of the gory series will be set in New York City, according to Variety. While Neve Campbell, arguably the film’s star and central focal point, has declined to participate in the latest requel, other Scream veterans like Courteney Cox and Jenna Ortega are expected to return. Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Mason Gooding from the fifth Scream movie will join them.

Hayden Panettiere, who played Kirby Reed in Scream 4, is also expected to return.

Scream VI will be released in theaters on March 10. Watch the trailer below.

It’s not uncommon for directors to work with their spouses, but some go further than others. Take Alison Brie and Dave Franco. They married in 2017 and since then Franco has directed two films, both starring her. In their latest, Somebody I Used to Know, Brie has to do some nude scenes, with which she’s very comfortable. She also has to do some intimate scenes. Is that awkward for them? Apparently not.

“We’ve worked together enough now,” Brie said in a new interview with Jezebel. “The second film we did together, ever, as actors was Jeff Baena’s The Little Hours, and in that movie, Dave has make-out or sex scenes with three other actresses and me. So, I just feel like that was the ripping of the band-aid.”

Brie explained that they’re able to separate their professional and private lives. “We are actors. This is our job,” she said. “It’s actually not that weird, and with something like this, because it’s our baby that we made together, I think our first priority is always the movie.”

She then referred to Jay Ellis, her onscreen partner in Somebody I Used to Know, saying, “Does the scene feel right and good? We don’t want my romantic scenes with Jay to play awkwardly or strangely in any way.”

Somebody I Used to Know now streams on Amazon Prime. Meanwhile, you’ll have to wait a bit longer for that Community reunion.

Last weekend, Adele made good on her word to attend the Super Bowl — to only see Rihanna. And, of course, in true Adele fashion, the “Easy On Me” hitmaker saw herself become a meme.

In the latest of Adele memes, she is seen sitting in the stands at the Super Bowl as the camera pans to her. She looked fabulous in a pantsuit with a matching purse, accessorized with large sunglasses.

The clip was captured shortly before Rihanna’s halftime performance, and it’s not quite clear what exactly Adele is saying.

Last night (February 17), during her Weekends With Adele residency in Las Vegas, she clarified exactly what she was saying.

“It’s hard work being a constant meme,” joked Adele.

She continued, saying, “I was saying, she’s gonna be fine. She’s gonna have some weed and be fine. But clearly she couldn’t have any weed because she was pregnant,” indicating that she was just as surprised as we were at her pregnancy reveal for her second child last weekend. So it’s probably not likely that Rihanna had any weed after the performance.

In a recent interview with British Vogue, Rihanna revealed that as a new mother, she doesn’t have much of a desire to go back to her partying ways.

“You literally try to remember it – and there are photos of my life before – but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don’t identify with it because you don’t even allow yourself mentally to get that far, because…Because it doesn’t matter,” she said.

Last week it was reported that Donald Trump was going for a Mulligan when it came to giving Ron DeSantis one of his mean nicknames. His first attempt — “Ron DeSanctimonious” — received mixed reviews. He’s a professional bully, he could do better when it comes to his most hated potential 2024 rival. And so it seemed he had: The New York Times claimed he was beta testing a couple new ones, including the very mean but far catchier “Meatball Ron.” Alas, Trump denied the report, and now he’s doubling down.

As per The Daily Beast, the former president, at 1am EST on a Saturday, took to this rinky-dink Twitter clone to bemoan the report.

“I will never call Ron DeSanctimonious “Meatball” Ron, as the Fake News is insisting I will,” he wrote. “Even though FoxNews killing lightweight Paul Ryan is revered by him, Low Energy Jeb Bush is his hero and always at his side, his beaches and State were closed for long periods of time, his testing, testing, testing for the China Virus didn’t work out too well, and his loyalty skills are really weak, it would be totally inappropriate to use the word “meatball” as a moniker for Ron!”

“Meatball Ron” is not a nice nickname, but it does roll off the tongue a lot more smoothly than “DeSanctimonious,” which isn’t even a good description of him. That he’s sticking with it has strong “jerk store” vibes. If he wants to win the 2024 Republican ticket a third time, he might have to reconsider, especially considering DeSantis probably isn’t ready for Trump’s insults. Or maybe he should stick with it for that very reason.

We are just days away from Don Toliver‘s third studio album, Love Sick. Over the past few months, he’s dropped quite a few singles and some fire collaborations, and next week, we’ll finally get to experience Love Sick in full.

Lizzo is returning to our TV screens. Last year, the “About Damn Time” hitmaker kept us fed with TV specials, including her HBO Max documentary Love, Lizzo, as well as her concert film Lizzo: Live In Concert — not to mention, her Emmy Award-winning reality competition Watch Out For The Big Grrrls. This time, she will be giving animation a spin.

Today (February 17), Lizzo took to Instagram to reveal that she will appear on an upcoming episode of The Simpsons. She shared an animated version of herself, drawn by Simpsons creator Matt Groening. In the drawing, Lizzo is seen wearing what looks like an animated version of her Yitty activewear.

“SEE YOU IN SPRINGFIELD, B*TCH,” she captioned the post.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Lizzo will voice two different characters in The Simpsons upcoming 34th season finale, which is set to air on Fox in May. One will be a fictional version of herself, and the other will be a toy elf doll that comes to life after Homer gets into an accident.

“We had this idea for a long time, and it always felt like a pipe dream, but then we figured out a way to do it,” said executive producer Tim Long. “…So she’s playing this happy little elf doll that comes to life and becomes his spirit guide.”

Niall Horan recently announced that his new album, The Show, is coming out this summer. However, with the reveal, one fan named Emily on TikTok spotted something in the promotional materials that has others on social media talking.

As she points out, Horan’s using the same cloud print that was present in the background of an image tied to Harry Styles a few months ago. While fans initially thought that the birds-eye still of a circus set was for one of Styles’ music videos for Harry’s House, there’s a possibility that it was actually for Horan’s — and a crossover is taking place.

“Had we not gotten those pictures of Harry on the set, I would have thought that the music video was just for Niall the whole time and we got it all wrong,” she said. “There’s so many coincidences because I didn’t think they’d be doing a song together, and I don’t really even know now if they are but, like, what the heck? What’s going on?”

Last May, Styles also was on some sort of circus project, as photos surfaced of him being shot out of a cannon in a yellow outfit. At the very least, it was for something.

Others have pointed out that an old pic of Horan’s shirt apparently appeared behind one of Styles’ door promos last year.

For the second year in a row, the NBA’s Rising Stars game featured a tournament format with a target score. This year, that meant a team led by Pau Gasol and a team led by Joakim Noah squared off in the final. By the time the dust settled, Gasol’s team came out on top, 25-20, thanks to a three hit by New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado that got his squad to the target score.

Bennedict Mathurin of the Indiana Pacers got the ball in the corner and found himself in a spot of bother. Instead of try to hoist up a triple, he passed the ball over to Alvarado, who launched an off-balanced three where he nearly collided with his teammate. It ended up being a perfect jumper, as the ball did not touch the rim as it went through the cylinder.

In a fun twist, a conversation between Alvarado and Donovan Mitchell of the Cleveland Cavaliers showed that he predicted that he was going to knock down the game winner. As a result, Mitchell showed Alvarado some love and told him that he now owes him a dinner.

Alvarado won MVP on the night, as he scored 13 points in his team’s semifinal win over Deron Williams’ squad before scoring five in the final game.

Lil Peep‘s mother, Liza Womack, and the late rapper’s former label, First Access Entertainment, have officially settled a wrongful death lawsuit. The news comes just a few weeks after it was announced that the two parties were close to reaching one without needing a trial, according to Pitchfork.

Womack took to Instagram to share that her son’s music will be solely in his family’s hands. She first filed the lawsuit and also claimed that the label owed her $4 million. “FAE is trying to choke off her funds by denying her her royalty revenue that they know she’s owed,” Womack’s lawyer Paul A. Matiasic shared in the fall of 2021.

“It is a solemn moment for us as we reflect on the struggles of the past five-plus years. We are grateful to all of the fans, friends, professionals, and family who stood by us,” Womack announced on Instagram, with a photo of Peep. “We were all permanently changed by Gus’s death. We know he should be here in the world with all of us, creating — making whatever he was inspired to make. But he is not.”

“We will protect his music with all of our strength,” she added.

If it had not been settled, they were required to turn in their trial binders today (February 17) and would’ve headed into a March court date. Neither is happening.
