It’s a diverse collection of tracks, although it is fairly upbeat, with energetic tracks such as “Fun!,” “Magic,” “Free The Homies,” “Big Fish,” and of course, “Norf Norf” interspersed among songs from his latest album, Dark Times.
Meanwhile, his second-best represented album is 2022’s standout Ramona Park Broke My Heart with six songs, while his 2021 self-titled album shows up four times.

From humble beginnings to signing a deal with one of horror’s biggest production companies, V/H/S 85 director Gigi Saul Guerrero’s emergence on the genre scene has been as unexpected as the jumpscares she fills her cult hits with.
Born in Mexico City in 1990, Guerrero grew up in her native country until her family immigrated to Canada in her teenage years, eventually attending film school and connecting with future collaborators like cinematographer Luke Bramley, and producer Gorden Cheng. Despite the distance, Guerrero’s heart and horror leanings have always steered her back to her homeland.
In 2011, she made her directorial and acting debut with the short film Dead Crossing. The short follows a family attempting to cross the United States-Mexico border in hopes of finding a better life, instead they discover the US border patrol is harboring a nasty secret that involves the undead. The six-minute-story perfectly encapsulates the driving motivation behind most of Guerrero’s work: authentically portraying her Mexican heritage while delivering an exciting (and terrifying) experience that doubles as a enjoyable viewing experience with heavy gore and metal music galore.
From there, Guerrero cut her teeth on delivering short, episodic, high-genre experiences. These range from delivering killer segments in anthology films such as Mexico Barbaro and The ABC’s of Death 2 ½. While directing these segments, and later, starting her production company Luchagore Productions, Guerrero found herself part of the new wave of Mexican Horror movement also known as “Nuevo Cine de Terror Mexicano”.
Then Blumhouse came knocking.
One of the biggest producers of Horror films and television in the industry today, Blumhouse saw the untapped potential in Guerrero’s narrative instincts. She soon began contributing work under their banner by directing episodes of their anthology series Into the Dark and the highly underrated television series of The Purge, allowing her to work with one of the company’s most infamous IPs. This relationship led to her signing a first look deal with the company.
In 2021, Guerrero had her feature film breakthrough with Bingo Hell, a film released under Blumhouse’s Welcome to the Blumhouse banner that follows residents of the barrio of Oak Springs as they’re about to lose their beloved neighborhood bingo hall to gentrification. But, in typical Guerrero fashion, not all is as it seems, and what follows is a high octane, gore-filled good time.
The film was a breakout hit at Fantastic Fest 2021, the largest genre film festival in the United States, and soon became a cult hit when it was released on Amazon Prime’s streaming service, cementing Guerrero’s status as not only one of the most promising voices in horror, but one of the most dynamic Hispanic voices in filmmaking, period.
With that level of success, all eyes were on what Guerrero would do next. That answer came in 2023 when it was revealed she would contribute a segment to the wildly popular V/H/S/ anthology with that year’s installment V/H/S/ 85. Her segment titled “The God of Death” follows a news crew during the infamous 1985 Mexico City earthquake who encounter a horrific creature of Aztec origin. Guerrero was, once again, returning to her roots, pulling from the same well that fueled her short film debut so many years earlier, but for a much larger audience. The film was praised as one of the stronger entries in the series with Guerrero’s segment serving as a standout thanks to the terrifying tone it delivered.
So what’s next for rising horror icon? That remains to be seen. She’s teased a few projects, like an Eli Roth produced film for Orion and a video game for Capcom that she wrote, but the future is practically limitless. Not only is she a trailblazing voice for women in the horror space, but one of Mexican representation as well. Her body of work proves that there’s an appetite for authentic Hispanic voices in the genre, and there’s no doubt that, whatever she does next, she’ll remain true to her heritage.
A class action lawsuit has been filed against Live Nation, accusing it of not securing user information after an April 2024 hack of Ticketmaster that harvested the personal info of more than 560 million customers. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the lawsuit was filed in California federal court on Friday (October 11) and demands at least $5 million in damages. Ticketmaster allegedly took nearly two months to uncover the hack, then another two months to inform customers their information had been compromised.
THR credited the attack to the hacker group ShinyHunters, which exploited vulnerabilities with Ticketmaster’s third-party server host, Snowflake, and threatened to leak the info on the dark web if not paid a $500,000 ransom. According to the lawsuit, Ticketmaster did not ensure that Snowflake had taken adequate security measures to protect user data, and retained personal information that it should have deleted. That information was also being sold to business partners and data brokers.
ShinyHunters has also been credited with hacks of AT&T, GitHub, and Pizza Hut, stealing over 900 million customer records. The stolen information can be used in further identity theft, such as opening fraudulent credit cards and other loans.
Ever since Future and Metro Boomin added Kendrick Lamar to their combative single “Like That,” the rap game has been in shambles, with bloodlust among rap fans fueling pernicious rumors of beef between their favorite entertainers. Case in point, the song “Pi” from J. Cole’s new mixtape, Might Delete Later, has been the center of rumored beef between rappers affiliated with Kendrick’s former label, TDE, and J. Cole’s label, Dreamville. However, TDE President Terrence Henderson — aka Punch — stepped in to dispel that myth before it spread any further.
After a rap fan on Twitter (never calling it “X”) wrote, “Ab-Soul threw jabs at J. Cole after Cole did him dirty by adding him & Daylyt to a song with a verse dissing Kendrick on ‘Pi’,” Punch did some fact-checking on the inaccurate speculation. “I hate to clear up rumors,” he wrote in response. “I usually let them fester and see how far they go, but ALL verses on ‘Pi’ were recorded long before ‘Like That.’”
I hate to clear up rumors, I usually let them fester and see how far they go, but ALL verses on Pi were recorded long before Like That. https://t.co/qLuJIwx7PG
It’s fair to say that fans have let their excitement get the best of them in the past. That, combined with the vagueness of some rappers’ battle raps, gives plenty of room for conspiratorial thinking and jumping to conclusions. However, there’s a big difference between fan theories on the internet and what really goes on behind the scenes — and Punch’s tweet is a reminder that many of those theories are usually missing key pieces of information. In this case, the fans in question appear to have overlooked the fact that Daylyt and J. Cole have collaborated since on “Plate Of Collard Greens,” and that even Ab-Soul appears to be rooting for Drake to have a soft landing.
In terms of her public perception, Lizzo hit a rough patch after facing a harassment lawsuit from some of her former dancers in 2023. At this point, Lizzo seems OK with the idea of being “canceled.”
During a panel at Fortune‘s Most Powerful Women Summit on October 14, Lizzo spoke about that and about her current relationship with fame, explaining (as E! News notes):
“I’ve been canceled for everything at this point. Only God can cancel me now. I think that I talk about the things that are important to me, and I talk about the things that I can bring a difference to, and I think those are my boundaries now with the public.”
At the same panel, she also clarified her recent comments about taking a “gap year,” saying (as Billboard reports), “‘Gap year’? Girl, who said ‘gap year’? I launched my company Yitty in 2022 at the same time as my album, Special. […] As soon as I stepped down home from tour — I may not be as public-facing — but I went straight to Yitty headquarters, and I’ve just been working, working, working. You may not see me, but I’ve been working. It ain’t a gap year, it’s a grind year.”
In Big Sean‘s new video for “It Is What It Is,” Sean teams up with Gunna to dispel any doubts in their rap credentials. The treatment is relatively straightforward, consisting mostly of performance shots of the two rappers leaning against an SUV. They also flex in a train yard, while Sean delivers his verse hanging out the window of the SUV.
Big Sean and Gunna are both on the comeback trail after career setbacks; while Gunna infamously drew criticism for accepting a plea deal from the Georgia District Attorney’s office, Sean has dealt with hits to his own reputation from skeptics who don’t believe he lives up to his billing as one of rap’s upper echelon entertainers.
Meanwhile, Gunna is fresh off the release of his own bounce back album, One Of Wun, and its supporting tour, the Bittersweet Tour, both of which are helping him find his way back into rap fans’ good graces.

Charli XCX’s album Brat is one of the year’s biggest hits. Charli didn’t think that would be the case, though, and she actually would have been alright with Brat not being a smash.
“I really had this very concise, strong and strict vision for what it was and how I wanted to work. I also was truly, genuinely OK with it not being successful. When I started making the record, I was telling everyone around me: ‘This is going to be a record with no sacrifices.’ I remember telling the label: ‘You’re probably not going to feel like there are any hits on this record, but that’s just what it is.’”
Of the remixes and the album’s long tail, she also noted, “I’ve always been anti this idea that once an album comes out, that’s its peak. I feel like there are so many more possibilities of what those songs can become.”
Charli’s words echo what she recently said about the now-iconic Brat album cover: “Where the actual first idea of doing a text cover came from was to save money. I was like, ‘This album is not going to appeal to a lot of people.’ I was like, ‘I think I will do a press shoot and maybe save on the album cover.’”
It’s been 10 years since Taylor Swift has appeared at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Will she be there tonight? Maybe, maybe not, although she was in New York City, where the show is being held, as recently as last night (she and boyfriend Travis Kelce caught the New York Yankees vs. Cleveland Guardians playoff game). Either way, the VSFS will at least feature an homage to the “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” singer.
Model (and friend of Taylor) Gigi Hadid toldEntertainment Tonight that “there’s something on the runway tonight that is new, at least for me on this runway.” She continued, “I can’t remember if it’s ever been done on the VS runway. But there’s an aspect to it that I was trained to do by Taylor on her tour. In one of her rehearsals, she was like, ‘I’m gonna show you how we do this.’ Did that, and now I’m using it tonight.”
Swift has performed during the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show twice: in 2013, when she joined Fall Out Boy for “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)” and later sang “I Knew You Were Trouble” by herself; and in 2014 to promote her 1989 album with singles “Blank Space” and “Style.” The 2013 show, in particular, is a wild throwback to the last time it was Fall Out Boy featuring Taylor Swift, not the other way around.
You can watch the 2024 fashion show on Victoria’s Secret’s social media channels, including Instagram and YouTube, or stream it on Prime Video.
