Summer break is over, pumpkins are now available at Whole Foods, and school is (almost) back in session at Abbott Elementary. It’s going to be a great year! Hopefully.

The lovable Emmy-nominated faculty of Abbott Elementary will embark on various shenanigans in season two, which premieres next Wednesday, September 21st. The latest trailer shows the crew prepping their classrooms, gearing up to teach, and hula-hooping while wearing Eagles merch. It is Philly, after all. There is precedent here.

Abbott Elementary’s first season became a breakout hit after gaining traction on social media. The series revolves around an eclectic group of public school teachers trying to make it through the day while also dealing with the scariest coworkers of all time: 10-year-old kids with a lot of energy.

The show received seven Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actress for series creator and producer Quinta Brunson, Outstanding Supporting Actor for Tyler James Willians, and Outstanding Supporting Actress for acting veteran Sheryl Lee Ralph and Janelle James.

If you need to catch up, the first season of the series is now streaming on HBO Max thanks to a deal between HBO and ABC. Season two premieres on September 21st on ABC, then streaming the next day on Hulu. Check out the trailer above.

When Weyes Blood’s Natalie Mering released her breakthrough 2019 album, Titanic Rising, it was meant to be the first in a three-part trilogy of albums. Now the trilogy will have it’s second installment, with the announcement of the next Weyes Blood album, And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow.

Due out on November 18th, the new album was produced by Mering along with Jonathan Rado of Foxygen and Rodaidh McDonald. It will feature appearances from Hand Habits’ Meg Duffy, Oneohtrix Point Never’s Daniel Lopatin, and harpist Mary Lattimore. Where Titanic Rising was about “impending doom,” And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow is about finding a way out of a world that has become increasingly dictated by technological whim. Mering explained in a letter to fans, that the gorgeously flowing lead single, “It’s Not Just Me, It’s Everybody,” is a, “Buddhist anthem, ensconced in the interconnectivity of all beings, and the fraying of our social fabric.”

Along with the single. Weyes Blood has also announced the In Holy Flux Tour for 2023, as well as an additional LA stop in 2022.

And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow is out 11/18 via Sub Pop Records. Pre-order it here.

Following the announcement of director Sofia Coppola’s next film Priscilla, a biopic about the famous Presleys, Deadline senior film reporter Justin Kroll shared that Justin Bieber was allegedly considered to play Elvis. According to Kroll’s post, however, the singer reportedly passed on the part. Euphoria star Jacob Elordi has since been cast, alongside The Craft: Legacy‘s Cailee Spaeny playing Priscilla Presley.

While Bieber’s reason for seemingly declining the part is still unknown, the pop star previously postponed his remaining Justice tour dates earlier this month. The world tour had 70 more dates and would continue into 2023. Bieber cited health concerns, as he has been vocal about his experience with Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome, which has caused paralysis in his face.

“As the result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North America leg of the Justice Tour. After resting end consulting with doctors, family and team, I went to Europe in an effort to continue with the tour,” Bieber wrote. “After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized that I needed to make my health a priority right now. So I’m going to take a break from touring for the time being.”

Bieber has also documented the affects of his Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome throughout this year. In June, prior to the tour’s full postponement, he took to Instagram to explain why he was only moving a few North American dates at the time. “As you can see, this eye is not blinking,” he shared. “I can’t smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move. So there’s full paralysis on the side of my face.”

Still, by July, he had hopes that he would be able to resume the rest of the tour. While fans might not be able to see him in their city (or on the silver screen), that hasn’t stopped Bieber from still trying to bring the music to them. He has released singles throughout 2022, including “Honest” featuring Don Toliver and collaborating with Kehlani on “Up At Night.”

Celebrating its 10th year anniversary since its founding in 2012, CJ ENM’s global “All Things Hallyu” festival, KCON, is making its way to the Middle East for the first time ever.

Taking place at Boulevard Riyadh City in Saudi Arabia on September 30 and October 1, the two-day event will mirror past KCONs where the convention consisting of panels, dance workshops, merchandise, and artist engagements will be held during the day, with star-studded K-pop performances ending the night.

KCON 2022 in Saudi Arabia will showcase performances from artists like P1Harmony, PENTAGON, Rain, Secret Number, Sunmi, and The Boyz on the first night and ATEEZ, Hyolyn, NewJeans, ONEUS, STAYC, and TO1 the second night.

Just last month, KCON held its weekend-long 10th anniversary event at the Los Angeles Convention Center and Crypto.com Arena in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, California, generating record-breaking 90,000 in-person attendance and 7.17 million virtually. Artists such as Stray Kids, ATEEZ, ITZY, STAYC, P1Harmony, The Boyz, NCT Dream, and more took part of the K-Culture celebrations.

Following Saudi Arabia, KCON will make its way to Japan for a three-day event at Tokyo’s Ariake Arena on October 14 to 16. Compared to KCON LA and Saudi Arabia, Japan’s lineup brings in more acts with artists like Le Sserafim, VIVIZ, IVE, TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) and more.

Despite the Dallas Cowboys‘ lackluster Sunday Night Football showing, a 19-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Micah Parsons opened the 2022 season looking as dominant and explosive as last year, when he won Defensive Rookie of the Year and finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting. He record a pair of sacks, both of which came on third downs in the redzone against Tom Brady, marking the first time since Antwan Barnes in 2010 that someone has recorded multiple sacks on Brady in the redzone in the same game.

On one play, however, Bucs running back Leonard Fournette, who impressed in his own right with 23 touches for 137 yards, bested Parsons while helping out in pass protection.

Parsons deserves credit for overwhelming the lineman to the point of Fournette’s services being required. He clearly took objection to the tweet and play itself going firal, venturing to Twitter to vocalize his malcontent.

Fournette’s retort to Parson’s gripes was simple and effective. Not a single word was typed.

Basketball will always be my favorite sport to watch and cover, but this sort of banter is one advantage entertainment-wise the NFL probably holds over the NBA, for instance. You’re rarely going to see posting like this derived from a singular NBA game because they occur almost daily. There’s not enough time for this stuff to remain relevant over a prolonged period, whereas the NFL’s weekly schedule gives everyone lots of time to stew over the previous game’s occurrences.

Fournette’s dominated on the ground and online over the past 18 hours.

If you have been feeling a sense of emptiness and deep longing since seeing Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis in theaters earlier this summer, then fear not! There will be more chances to see your grandmother’s favorite icon soon.

Jabob Elordi who plays the drama magnet Nate Jacobs on Euphoria, has been cast in Sofia Coppola‘s upcoming film Priscilla, which is not a sequel to this year’s Elvis biopic (though that would make a lot of sense).

The movie will be based on Elvis and Me, the memoir from Priscilla Presley, which chronicles the infamous relationship between Priscilla and the most famous singer in the world. The film will be the third Coppola movie to be distributed by A24, alongside On The Rocks and The Bling Ring.

As for Priscilla herself, the former wife of Elvis will be portrayed by Devs and Mare Of Easttown’s Cailee Spaeny. Coppola reportedly auditioned a handful of young men for the prestigious role of the 20th century’s most popular rock star, but Eldori was the one chosen, probably due to his star power and undeniable ability to play jerky men.

Elvis and Priscilla had a whirlwind romance in the 60s and 70s after the star met his future wife when he was in the Army (he was 24 and she was… 14). They married and had a baby before calling it quits just a few years before Elvis’ death. The film is expected to begin production this fall.

Thanks to the viral Paddington and Queen Elizabeth II video that celebrated their joint love of marmalade sandwiches, mourners have been leaving stuffed Paddington bears and his favorite sandwich at tribute sites for the Queen’s passing. There’s just one small problem: People are leaving way too many of them. In an official statement, The Royal Parks is now advising mourners to please stop leaving the bears and sandwiches at the tribute sites. It was very cute, but do you know how long marmalade sandwiches last in the September heat? Not long.

You can see an announcement from the Royal Parks below:

The Royal Parks offered guidance for tributes on its official website, and as you can see below, they are steering people away from stuffed bears and towards flowers, preferably unwrapped:

In the interests of sustainability, we ask visitors to only lay organic or compostable material. The public will be asked to remove all wrapping from floral tributes and place these in the bins provided. Removing the wrapping will aid the longevity of the flowers and will assist in subsequent composting which will start between one week and a fortnight after the date of the funeral.

We would prefer visitors not to bring non-floral objects/artefacts such as teddy bears or balloons. Cards and labels will, however, be accepted and will be periodically removed by The Royal Parks’ staff and contractors for storage offsite. This process will be carried out with discretion and sensitivity.

If you somehow missed the Paddington and Queen Elizabeth collaboration that’s now resulted in London being coated in marmalade sandwiches, you can watch it below. Like the Paddington films, it’s pretty delightful:

It’s a good time to be Harry Styles: Don’t Worry Darling has been the most talked-about movie of the past month and “As It Was” is enjoying a tremendous chart run. That run continues today, too, as on the new Billboard Hot 100 chart dated September 17, “As It Was” is No. 1 for a 13th total week. Furthermore, Styles actually has two songs in this week’s top three, as “Late Night Talking” rose to a new high at No. 3, up from No. 12 last week.

As “As It Was” spends its 13th week at No. 1, it makes a bit of history: It’s now just the 13th song ever to spend at least 13 weeks at No. 1. Furthermore, it’s the first song to do so since Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” enjoyed its record 19-week chart-topping run in 2019.

Elsewhere in the top 10, OneRepublic’s “I Ain’t Worried” rises to No. 8, making it their fourth top-10 single. Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” seems to be riding out a waning Stranger Things wave as it hangs on at No. 9. As for what’s not in the top 10, Elton John and Britney Spears’ collaboration “Hold Me Closer” didn’t manage to stay in the region for a second week after debuting at No. 6 last week.

Jeopardy! went through a number of guest hosts following the death of Alex Trebek in November 2020. There was Katie Couric, Anderson Cooper, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Buck, Mehmet Oz (regrettable in hindsight… and at the time), and fan favorite LeVar Burton. In August 2021, executive producer Mike Richards was announced as the full-time host — until he stepped down following resurfaced comments he made on a podcast. Jeopardy! GOAT Ken Jennings and The Big Bang Theory actress Mayim Bialik have filled in ever since, but beginning tonight, the pair will take over as the permanent hosts.

“Welcome to the show,” Jennings said in the first clip from Monday’s season 39 premiere. “I am so honored to be announced as the host of Jeopardy!, but I’m even more excited to be here with you beginning a new season with our Emmy-winning Jeopardy! staff and crew, with an audience back in the studio for the first time in two and a half years! Yes!” It’s fun to imagine the crowd getting so riled up that they storm the set, like fans of an underdog college basketball team beating the favorite during March Madness. Except instead of stealing the net, they take the Final Jeopardy! light pen.

You can watch the Jeopardy! preview below.

Bialik will take over for Jennings beginning in January.

Bad Bunny‘s incredibly popular summer album Un Verano Sin Ti has returned to the top of Billboard‘s 200 Albums chart. Now marking its tenth nonconsecutive week at No. 1, his album has broken the record previously held by the Encanto soundtrack for the most weeks logged in 2022. In addition, Bad Bunny is currently tied for the most weeks at No. 1 since controversial country singer Morgen Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album lasted ten consecutive weeks from January through March 2021.

Because of these records, Bad Bunny joins a list of now nine albums among seven artists to reach ten weeks atop the charts, including Taylor Swift’s Fearless and 1989, Adele’s 21 and 25, the Frozen soundtrack, Santana’s Supernatural, and Drake’s Views.

While Bad Bunny released Un Verano Sin Ti back in May, it has yet to leave the top two of Billboard‘s 200, even if it keeps switching spots between the chart rankings. As the publication notes, it is also the first album in the chart’s history to spend its first 18 weeks without leaving that spot. (Drake previously held the record at 17 weeks.)

The Puerto Rican musician is currently continuing his World’s Hottest Tour in support of the album, with large-scale stadium dates scheduled throughout the rest of this year in North and South America. A complete list is available here. Last month, Bad Bunny performed “Tití Me Preguntó” at the MTV Video Music Awards live from NYC’s Yankee Stadium and took home the night’s big accolade for Artist of the Year.

After appearing in the recent Bullet Train movie, it was reported in April that Bad Bunny will also make his eventual Marvel Cinematic Universe debut as the title wrestling superhero in El Muerto. “The character of El Muerto, aka Juan Carlos, was a super powered wrestler who originally fought Spider-Man in a charity wrestling match in which he nearly unmasked the webslinger before being stung by Spider-Man with a paralyzing poison,” Deadline described of his character.
