Curry scored all 12 of the Warriors’ points during a 12-3 run to close out the game, and plenty of people noted that he looked especially fired up after hitting a three with 27 seconds left that essentially iced things. It turns out there’s a reason why: According to Draymond Green, Curry was ghosted by Thompson in the lead-up to the game.
“I’m stirring the pot, I pissed Steph off,” Green said on his podcast, which you can watch at the 4:30 mark of the video at the top of this post. “He’s like, ‘Yeah, I talked to Klay last night about’ — cause he was supposed to speak before the game. He was like, ‘Yeah I called Raymond and told him I’m not speaking. I just need to lock in on the game, so I ain’t speaking and I talked to Klay about it.’ He tried to check in with Klay about something else, and Klay ghosted him, so he got pissed. And here we go. Locked in.”
Steve Kerr said that Curry was supposed to address the crowd before the game, but he and Thompson decided against it, while Green did drop a hint after the game that Thompson isn’t an easy guy to get a hold of when he told the press “You ever try to keep in touch with Klay? It’s very one-sided. The love is there. The relationship is there.”
This Friday, November 15, Maxo Kream will release his fourth (or eighth, if you were to ask him) studio album, Personification. The rollout for the album has included the release of his singles “Talkin In Screw” featuring That Mexican OT and “Cracc Era” featuring Tyler The Creator, and a few guest features with the likes of Denzel Curry, with whom Maxo collaborated on “Set It.” Curry also appears on the tracklist for Personification, which Maxo shared this week, and also has appearances from fellow Texan BigXthaPlug, Houston rap legend Z-Ro, rising starts Rob49 and Skilla Baby, and Maxo’s brother, who has renamed himself Josh Kream.
Also, earlier this week, Maxo broke down the philosophy behind his new album with a short film shared to Twitter (which I will never call “X”). In the caption, Maxo writes, “Emekwanem. Trigga Maxo. Maxo C. All me all in one. I’ve had it all and lost it all. Thankful for my angels and I regret nothing. I’m still here dropping albums and my new one comes this Friday.”
Personification part 3: Emekwanem. Trigga Maxo. Maxo C. All me all in one. I’ve had it all and lost it all. Thankful for my angels and I regret nothing. I’m still here dropping albums and my new one comes this Friday. Personification. See yall soon. pic.twitter.com/mqZeQqKX9V
The poor response to Joker: Folie À Deux did nothing to deter Lady Gaga’s acting career. Entertainment Weeklyreports that the “Die With A Smile” singer has joined the cast of Netflix’s Wednesday for season 2. It’s currently unknown who Gaga is playing, but she’s currently filming the show in Europe.
This is Gaga’s official introduction to Wednesday, but she was already unofficially affiliated with Netflix’s most-watched English language show after a remix of “Bloody Mary” set to star Jenna Ortega’s dance scene as Wednesday Addams went viral.
“I’m sure Netflix would love that,” Ortega said at the 2023 Golden Globes about Gaga joining the show. “I think Mrs. Thornhill and Wednesday had this weird mentor relationship or kind of understood each other in a certain way, so, if Lady Gaga were to be a part, I think it would have to be two monsters that understand each other.”
Ortega also shared her history with Gaga. “I worked with a hairdresser that used to work with her, and I’d just seen Lady Gaga in concert in Boston a couple of years before, and she’d made me a video saying, ‘Hey Jenna, I heard you’re a fan.’ It was a really sweet video,” she said. “I doubt she had any idea who I was back then, but to see her do [the Wednesday dance] now, it’s one of those moments you acknowledge life changes really fast. It’s crazy.”
This weekend is a big one for Charli XCX, as she’s making her debut as host of Saturday Night Live. So, she and the rest of the show’s staff and cast are currently going through the process of getting the episode ready, and that means promos.
The first of them was shared today (November 13). In it, Chloe Fineman expresses excitement about Charli being on the show, and as the conversation goes on, Charli only responds with the word “brat,” which causes some confusion. Eventually, someone interjects to explain they still doing understand what “brat” means, and Charli declares, “But you will, babes.” Charli then strikes poses as Fineman blows Charli’s hair with a leafblower.
Charli’s first time as musical guest on the show was on December 13, 2014, on an episode hosted by Martin Freeman. She was then scheduled for the December 18, 2021 episode hosted by Paul Rudd, but she ultimately had to bail due to the emergence of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 (although she did appear in this weird sketch). Her musical guest spot ended up getting rescheduled for March 5, 2022.
Brat summer might be over, but Charli XCX is the gift that keeps on giving. Just this season, Charli dropped the star-studded Brat remix album,brat and it’s completely different but also still brat (see the Billie Eilish-assisted “Guess” remix, produced by indie sleaze icon The Dare), announced a link-up and starring role in director Pete Ohs Erupcja, joined the cast of Romain Gavras’ Sacrifice, snagged nine Grammy nominations (including Album of the Year), and is now starring in a new campaign from Stockholm, Sweden-based brand Acne Studios with a photoshoot shot by renowned New York photographer Talia Chetrit.
The world can’t seem to get enough. We’re psyched not just because we’re massive Charli fans, but we love collaborations that make sense and Acne Studios, with its high-fashion meets streetwear aesthetic, is oozing with brat vibes.
The new collection mostly focuses on shoulder bags and baggy-fit jeans but also dips into accessories like padlock chain necklaces, metal frame sunglasses, as other staples like skirts, heels, and iridescent mini dresses. Just about everything from the collection looks straight out of a Charli XCX video, with the exception of the scarfs, which are way more demure than anything associated with this era of Charli.

“That’s So True” is the biggest hit of Gracie Abrams‘ career. It was also almost her most “vulgar” song.
Rolling Stonereports that during Spotify’s “You’re Invited, I’m Sorry: An Evening with Gracie Abrams” event this week, Abrams shared that there’s “a whole, very vulgar version” of the track that “will never see the light of day,” she added.
Abrams and co-songwriter Audrey Hobert were working on “That’s So True” when they got “a little drunk in a great way — in a light, fresh way.” The “Us” singer said that they were “just doubled over in tears, laughing so hard, saying the most horrific sh*t to song,” while Hobert added that the lyrics were “like sexual, just so you don’t get it confused with any other horrible thing. Nothing that could be on the radio or, you know, Spotify.”
Maybe in 10 years, we’ll get a 10-minute version of “That’s So True.” Until then, Abrams made the right choice in releasing the non-“horrific sh*t” version. “That’s So True” is currently no. 13 on the Hot 100, and it might soon unseat “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey at the top of the chart after 17 non-consecutive weeks. That makes it the biggest solo song ever, and only two weeks away from tying the overall record set by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road.”
It was reported earlier this week that Glen Powell, the handsome and charismatic (pick one or the other, buddy; it’s not fair to the rest of us to be both) star of Hit Man and Twisters, is Tom Cruise’s preferred choice to take over the spy franchise following 2025’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. When asked about the rumor on Tuesday’s episode of The Pat McAfee Show, Powell replied, “My mom would never let me do that,” adding that the building-scaling job is “a death trap.”
Powell was kidding (he’s used the “mom” line before), but if he was indeed offered the gig and turned it down, he made the correct choice. He can be “the next Tom Cruise” without literally replacing Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise’s breakthrough year came in 1986 (his 2024, so to speak), when he starred in both Top Gun and The Color of Money. Top Gun made him a movie star, but The Color of Money taught him how to be a movie star. The pool hustler drama with Paul Newman and Cruise was a passing of the torch from one generation of leading man to another, and Cruise was a willing student.
Back in 2021, Cruise shared the valuable advice he received from Newman while shooting the Martin Scorsese film. It’s long, so grab your popcorn.
“I was like, ‘I’m gonna have a leather jacket and t-shirt. I’m gonna have my hair blown back. It’s guaranteed up to 90 miles an hour. And there I am in January, and I’m shooting this scene. And I remember in the script, it was like outside. I didn’t think about it. Wardrobe’s like, ‘Yeah it looks great.’ And I am doing this scene, and I mean, I’m telling you, it’s so cold I can’t even speak. I’m in between takes, and [Newman] is in a car, and I’m running to this area. They’re trying to thaw [me]. Newman’s like, ‘Where’s the kid? Where’s the kid?’ So finally, I have this scene where he’s in the car, and I’m next to him. I look in, and I’m like, ‘What?’ He had the warm coat. He had the heater in there. It was an electric heater, OK? … He looked at me, and he’s like, ‘T-shirt? You tried your wardrobe on in the summer, didn’t you?’ I was like, ‘Yes, sir. I did.’ He’s like, ‘Watch and learn, kid. Watch and learn.’ I never forgot it. I literally never forgot it.”
Powell has been watching and learning from Cruise.
He watched how the four-time Oscar nominee handled himself to “make a big event movie.” He learned to care about his legacy. He watched and learned during a six-hour long “film school” video that Cruise screens only for select friends and covers everything from the difference between a film camera and a digital camera and how air pressure works. (I need to see this almost as much as I need to eat the Tom Cruise cake.)
Powell is an eager protégé learning from a master, and he’s putting together an impressive (and superhero-free!) filmography. His charming early performances in Everybody Wants Some!! and Hidden Figures put him on the radar; he capitalized on that buzz with Top Gun: Maverick in 2022, followed by Anyone But You in 2023 and Hit Man and Twisters in 2024. His upcoming slate is promising, too.
Powell, like Cruise going from teen classic Risky Business to fantasy epic Legend to four-quadrant blockbuster Top Gun to Oscar player The Color of Money early in his career, is aware of the dangers of pigeonholing himself into one genre. “I’m trying to do ambitious things that scare me a little bit, because when they scare you, it means that you have to rise to the occasion,” he told Vanity Fair. The only way that quote could have been more Tom Cruise-y is if it ended with him jumping out of a plane.
The idea of a movie star has changed a lot since Glen Powell was Cruise’s age. It’s the intellectual properties that are the draw now. But that’s seemingly beginning to change with exciting young actors like Zendaya, Jenna Ortega, Timothée Chalamet, Rachel Zegler, and, perhaps most of all, Powell. He has the talent, looks, and charisma to have a successful career. But Powell is aiming higher than that. He wants to be an old fashioned Movie Star, or as he told Tom Cruise when he was cast in Top Gun: Maverick, “I’m working to try to be you.” It’s a mission that, with Cruise’s help, doesn’t seem so impossible.
Early next year, Michigander, the alt-rock project of songwriter Jason Singer, will release his official debut album. It has been a while in the making, given the fact that Singer started this endeavor roughly a decade ago at this point. But Michigander’s full-length debut is nearly here, and early singles like “Emotional” and “Giving Up” indicate something promising.
Throughout 12 tracks, Singer evokes everyone from Manchester Orchestra to Bruce Springsteen, which is shorthand for sweeping choruses, sticky hooks, and reflective lyricism. After spending years cranking out singles and EPs, it’s fulfilling to hear the Kalamazoo native posit his most fully realized vision yet.
Ahead of the album’s release this February, Singer sat down with Uproxx to talk about Foals, Stranger Things, The National, and more in our latest Q&A.
What are four words you would use to describe your music?
Very hard soft rock.
It’s 2050 and the world hasn’t ended and people are still listening to your music. How would you like it to be remembered?
Well, if the world is still around, I’d like to maybe have one of my songs in a Stranger Things remake, then I can be like Kate Bush.
Who’s the person who has most inspired your work, and why?
I think if there was one artist or “band” that inspires me the most and has for so long, it would be The National. I’ve loved that band so much for so long and really admire how they operate and the music and risks they take.
Where did you eat the best meal of your life and what was it?
OK, so this is pretty recent but someone just took me to Uchiko in Austin and I seriously can’t stop thinking about it. I love sushi and that place has ruined all other sushi for me.
Tell us about the best concert you’ve ever attended.
I got to see Jack White a few months ago in Detroit at St Andrew’s Hall. He’s one of my first heroes and that was the first time I got to see him live. It was very special.
What song never fails to make you emotional?
“Heavenly Father” by Bon Iver.
What’s the last thing you Googled?
Quincy Jones quotes
Where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever crashed while on tour?
I’ve slept in the van at a truck stop in the middle of winter before. It was not fun.
What’s your favorite city in the world to perform and what’s the city you hope to perform in for the first time?
I love playing in Chicago. I feel like every time we play there it’s just really great. Sort of feels like a hometown for some reason. But, I’d really love to play somewhere in Japan someday.
What’s one piece of advice you’d go back in time to give to your 18-year-old self?
Don’t take yourself so seriously and vote for Obama.
What’s one of your hidden talents?
I’m pretty good at Call of Duty and I am not proud of it.
If you had a million dollars to donate to charity, what cause would you support and why?
Great question, I would try to find something that could impact the neighborhoods of Detroit and I’m not talking about downtown or midtown. I’m talking about the places where people actually live, places where people are neglected. I think those neighborhoods need some love.
What are your thoughts about AI and the future of music?
It’s interesting. I’m curious to see how it gets used. If it’s a tool, that’s cool. If it replaces real human artists, then that would suck. But I think there will always be a need and desire for authentic and organic music. People always crave that shit.
You are throwing a music festival. Give us the dream lineup of 5 artists that will perform with you and the location where it would be held.
Woof. Alright. We got Oasis, mostly because I wasn’t able to get tickets to their tour. Honestly add Taylor Swift to that list too because I missed the Eras Tour. The White Stripes, Fontaines D.C., and The Fray. Let’s do this festival anywhere within 45 minutes of my house so I can sleep in my own bed.
Who’s your favorite person to follow on social media?
Aldo (@swa9in) on TikTok.
What’s the story behind your first or favorite tattoo?
I have the word “showbiz” on my right arm. I always say “that’s showbiz” when something bad happens.
What is your pre-show ritual?
I do a vocal warm-up and listen to Foals.
Who was your first celebrity crush?
That girl from Spy Kids.
You have a month off and the resources to take a dream vacation. Where are you going and who is coming with you?
Honestly, my dream would be to just stay home for a month and order food and play video games.
What is your biggest fear?
Trump is smart enough to fulfill his campaign promises.
Michigander is out Feb. 7 via Totally Normal Records. Find more information here.
Nonprofit music festival M3F is getting ready to enter its 22nd year in 2025, and now we know more what that’s going to look like: Today (November 13), organizers unveiled details about next year’s event.
Heading to Steele Indian School Park in Phoenix, Arizona on March 7 and 8 are headliners LCD Soundsystem and Justice. Beyond them, the lineup also includes Sylvan Esso, Alvvays, BadBadNotGood, BAYNK, Beach Weather, Braxe + Falcon, Confidence Man, Dev Lemons, Hippie Sabotage, Luna Luna, Mindchatter, Ricky Montgomery, Slow Pulp, Summer Salt, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (DJ Set), and UPSAHL.
As for tickets, those are available now via the festival website. As usual, 100 percent of proceeds from the festival will be donated to charity, and since 2004, they’ve donated a total of $6 million.
A press release notes, “M3F’s mission to drive meaningful change is powered by its fans, who not only attend for a great time with friends but to also contribute to the local community. By combining live music, art, and active community engagement with a strong focus on social impact, M3F stands out as an innovative cause-driven festival with a unique purpose.”
This year, the M3F Fund raised $750,000 in support of a variety of charities, including “contributions of $140,000 to Phoenix Children’s Hospital for music therapy programs and $100,000 to Habitat for Humanity of Northern Arizona for a new 40-home development.”
Mark Zuckerberg had himself a viral moment recently, when he shared a photo of himself in a recording studio with T-Pain, posting it on his Instagram Story with the caption, “It’s happening guys” (as Billboard notes). Jack Harlow has since weighed in with the perfect joke: On his Instagram Story, Harlow shared a photo of Zuckerberg and wrote, “New sh*t otw.”
Some context: While Zuckerberg has previously been described with words like “robotic,” in recent times, he has switched up his personal style, growing his curly hair out and wearing more casual outfits. (Slate went as far as to ask in October, “Is Mark Zuckerberg … Hot?“) Some have pointed out that with his new look, Zuckerberg looks like Harlow, especially after a faked image of Zuckerberg with facial hair went viral in April.
All that is to say that once Zuck crossed over into the music world, Harlow saw his opportunity and pounced.
In other Harlow news, last month, he announced a pair of performances in his home state of Kentucky, alongside the Louisville Orchestra, set for the end of November. Harlow also recently celebrated the release of his first-ever sneaker, the New Balance 1906R “Rose Runner,” which is out now.
