As a hopeless romantic, Lana Del Rey continues to be pulled into fictional fan-fueled relationships with fellow musicians including Quavo. However, the latest Lana Del Rey dating rumor doesn’t include a celebrity rather an everyday working class man. Although it was easy to believe, Lana Del Rey has shutdown a viral claim that she was intimately connected to an alligator tour guide from Louisiana.
In the comment section of Just N Life‘s Instagram post about the whispers (viewable here), Lana Del Rey simply replied: “No.”
The rumors quickly spread online and one user came forward claiming to be the gentleman’s daughter. “In regard to my dad and Lana from my last few tweets, if there’s any type of update I’ll give it,” the user wrote. “But for now I’ve got nothing to give. I barely talk to my dad. Let alone care about his love life. I’m just shocked WHO he’s dating.”
However, Lana Del Rey also shut that down in her response. “Also, that’s not his daughter on Twitter,” she wrote.
It is unclear if the user responded to Lana’s remarks as their account has been switched to protected (or private).
If it was true, this wouldn’t have been the wildest part of Lana Del Rey’s romantic lore.
The Cure is known for its no nonsense experimental sound. That same stick it to them attitude applies to the band’s public stances, most recently lead vocalist Robert Smith’s crusade against Ticketmaster.
Now, The Cure’s composer and musician, Roger O’Donnell, is using his voice for another worthy cause. Today (September 1) on X (formerly Twitter), O’Donnell revealed he was diagnosed with cancer in 2023. After receiving aggressive treatment, he is urging others to get tested while opening up about his road to recovery.
“September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month so it’s a good opportunity to have a dialogue about these diseases,” he wrote. “In September last year I was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of lymphoma. I had ignored the symptoms for a few months but finally went and after surgery the result of the biopsy was devastating. I’ve now completed 11 months of treatment under some of the finest specialists in the world and with second opinions and advice from the teams that had developed the drugs I was being given.”
O’Donnell went on to discuss his treatment. “I had the benefit of the latest sci-fi immunotherapy and some drugs that were first used 100 years ago,” he wrote. “The last phase of treatment was radiotherapy which also was one of the first treatments developed against cancer. I’m fine, and the prognosis is amazing. The mad axe murderer knocked on the door, and we didn’t answer.”
He went on to encourage others to get screened and tested. “Cancer CAN be beaten but if you are diagnosed early enough you stand a way better chance,” he wrote. “So all I have to say is go GET TESTED, if you have the faintest thought you may have symptoms go and get checked out.”
Several returning beloved TV series could dominate the coming month with Dad TV receiving strong representation, but that’s not the whole picture. A heist night, a murder mystery, and a Netflix series that is both loved and loathed promise to deliver variety in a month when weather will likely still be sweltering. Don’t worry, there will be plenty to watch from the cool comfort of your couch.
Here are the must-see shows (in order of premiere date) for September 2024:
Slow Horses: Season 4 (Apple TV+ series streaming 9/4)
Are you ready to see Jackson Lamb’s living space? Those and other messy thrills are coming to this world of f*cked up MI5 agents who find themselves handling matters of utmost national importance. This season follows Mick Herron’s fourth Slough House novel, Spook Street, and Jackson’s cadre of misfits will find themselves embroiled within a terror attack in a shopping district. Come for the action and intrigue, and stick around for a grumpy, farting Gary Oldman in the role of his life.
Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist: Season 1 (Peacock series streaming 9/5)
This heist story is based upon iHeartRadio’s Fight Night podcast, which heads back to October 1970 when Muhammad Ali returned to boxing in what turned out to be the same evening that “Chicken Man” (Kevin Hart) pulled off a historical heist during a party full of ultra-wealthy post-fight patrons. By the end of the evening, multi-million-dollars of thievery went down, and this shockingly brazen crime spree became a longwinded headache for detective J.D. Hudson, one of Atlanta’s first Black detectives.
The Perfect Couple: Season 1 (Netflix series streaming 9/5)
Nicole Kidman has not-so-quietly been amassing TV series on HBO, Hulu, and Amazon, so it only makes sense that she would follow up her A Family Affair Netflix movie with a TV series on the same streaming service. This (presumably limited) series looks like a cross between The White Lotus and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery with Kidman portraying the matriarch of a wealthy Nantucket family. In this adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand’s book, the fam is about to welcome a daughter-in-law, yet unfortunately, the wedding weekend turns into a murder scene, and the whodunit begins.
Power Book II: Ghost: Season 4 (Starz series streaming 9/6)
This series will unfurl its final season, and expect to see Tariq finding himself in the same plight as Ghost many years ago while Detective Carter circles. Despite that danger, multiple family members remain “too close to the game,” according to the Starz synopsis, while major changes sit on the horizon for another Power show. It’s never too late to dive into this crime saga, by the way, because the 50 Cent TV universe will stay alive elsewhere with the audience clearly here for it.
Emily in Paris: Season 4 Part 2 (Netflix series streaming 9/12)
Well, Emily got together with Gabriel in Part 1 of this season, but since this is a Darren Star series, no couple can stay happy for too long. Fortunately, Emily will leave Paris for other European destinations, so we will have a nice distraction from the romantic melodrama because you know that Camille is going to start circling again even though — let’s face it — she doesn’t even truly want Gabriel. Bring on the gorgeous scenery and ridiculous fashion already.
The Old Man: Season 2 (FX series releasing on 9/12, streaming on Hulu 9/13)
The Dude will always be Jeff Bridges’ most iconic role, but Dan Chase might not be too far behind when everything is said and done. Bridges embraces the John Wick-Meets-Taken vibe of this show revolving around a 75-year-old former assassin, who has still got “it,” but he’s not exactly in 1980s action hero shape. This season picks up with John Lithgow’s Harold Harper now on the move with Dan, and together, they will attempt to “rescue” Alia Shawkat’s Emily/Angela after she was kidnapped by warlord Faraz Hamzad. She might not be too willing to cooperate, however.
Agatha All Along: Season 1 (Disney+ series streaming 9/18)
Back in 2021, the news of Kathryn Hahn’s breakout WandaVision character receiving her own series was a welcome development, but since that time, Disney+ MCU series have lost their novelty. Hopefully, this show can help bring back the excitement with the help of this song, and then Jon Bernthal’s appearance as Frank Castle in Daredevil Born Again can help finish the job. Hey, Deadpool & Wolverine got the job of reinvigorating the MCU started, now it’s time to pass that torch.
The Penguin: Season 1 (Max series streaming 9/19)
And speaking of comic-book universes that sit in precarious territory… perhaps that’s an unfair statement. Matt Reeves’ The Batman sits outside the DCU, as does this spin off show with Colin Farrell’s Cobblepot navigating the Gotham underworld’s power vacuum and finding exactly where he fits in after the murder of mob boss Carmine Falcone by Paul Dano’s The Riddler. Farrell certainly gives this prosthetic-laden character his full energies with a New York accent to boot. The word “unrecognizable” is overused with transformations these days, but it works here.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon: The Book Of Carol (AMC series streaming on AMC+ 9/29)
The people wanted more of Norman Reedus’ Daryl, and they’re getting it with the other essential ingredient: Melissa McBride’s Carol Peltier. If we ever do face a zombie apocalypse, these two are the badasses that you’ll want to protect you, but for now, these ride-or-die fighters will be reunited in France before heading (in the third season) to Spain, and it’s simply nice to see Daryl finally receive a vacation after being stuck in Georgia for his entire pre-crisis life. Dreams do happen occasionally, man.
Every single week, our TV and film experts will list the most important ten streaming selections for you to pop into your queues. We’re not strictly operating upon reviews or accrued streaming clicks (although yes, we’ve scoured the streaming site charts) but, instead, upon those selections that are really worth noticing amid the churning sea of content. There’s a lot out there, after all, and your time is valuable.
10. Kinds Of Kindness – Searchlight Pictures film streaming on Hulu
Emma Stone and Margaret Qualley are here to dance, among other things, in Yorge Lanthimos’ (Dogtooth, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) latest bizarro movie. They are accompanied by Willem Defoe, Jesse Plemons, Hong Chau, Hunter Schafer, Joe Alwyn, and Mamoudou Athie in three stories that add up to an absurdist whole (as a triptych fable) that shouldn’t be taken at face value. There are, after all, dogs driving a car and not too much kindness to be found.
A second season will definitely be forthcoming, and The Boys fans will surely want to put this in their queues. The series shines a light on sickle cell disease, both for the suffering it presents and the strength of those who endure it. Tosin Cole, Adelayo Adedayo, Nadine Mills, Eric Abrefa, Josh Tedeku, and Calvin Demba fill out the core cast in this series that is written, created, and co-directed by Rapman (real name Andrew Onwubolu). These blue-collar heroes will also go through relationship issues galore in this multi-faceted saga.
Maika Monroe is tasked with tracking down a Satanic serial killer (portrayed by Nicolas Cage like you’ve never seen him before) in this genuinely disturbing horror film from Legally Blonde actor Osgood Perkins. During this movie’s theatrical run, Longlegs became Neon’s highest grossing movie ever and the biggest indie movie of 2024. Viral marketing can kick ass sometimes.
This George R.R. Martin-produced crime drama qualifies as a sleeper series that I highly recommend binging at some point. (Mostly) Native American writers are doing the thing here with Tony Hillerman’s Leaphorn & Chee book series and the two 1970s Navajo cops (at a remote area near Monument Valley) who embark upon apparently unrelated crimes including a double murder case. In the process, they see things that make them think twice about their spiritual beliefs.
6. The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power – Amazon series
Jeff Bezo’s longstanding dream (to have his ownGame of Thrones) continues in a season that nearly appeared out of the blue with the target audience focused on House of the Dragon. Still, it is time to mosey on down to Middle-earth where this endlessly epic production will not disappoint on the “feeling epic” front. Hopefully, social media can leave Morfydd Clark alone and focus on the entertainment at hand.
Selena Gomez is currently receiving Oscar buzz for her turn in Netflix’s Emilia Pérez, and she is front and central for the fourth season of her whodunnit comedy with Steve Martin and Martin Short. The podcasters/amateur investigators will be taking the murder subject from New York to Hollywood this year, and don’t worry about the venue change (from an audience viewpoint, at least) because Meryl Streep’s character will also be on the scene.
Vince Vaughn is here to put that True Detective season fully behind the public’s memory by returning to his comedic roots in this series adaptation of Carl Hiaasen’s cult-favorite and bestseller novel of the same name. Producer Bill Lawrence follows up his Ted Lasso feel-good vibes with this black comedy mixed with detective vibes when Vaughn’s Andrew Yancy, a former cop-turned-health-inspector, becomes involved in a mystery investigation. It happens, and co-stars include Rob Delaney, Jodie Turner-Smith, L.Scott Caldwell, Michelle Monaghan, Alex Moffat, and a dash of Zach Braff.
3. Kevin Can F**k Himself – AMC series streaming on Netflix
That 2021 series starring Annie Murphy is a tough but intoxicating pill to swallow as a satire to sitcoms like King of Queens (which stars Kevin James as, you know, a Kevin). However, the Kevin in this AMC show isn’t simply an annoying, sexist, and schlubby dude who is married to a beautiful and smart woman, Allison. He’s also emotionally abusive, controlling, and manipulative, and — did we mention that this gets dark? — and Allison decides that he must die. This series is actually so addictive that it prompted questions of whether a third season is possible. It’s the Netflix Effect.
This dramatic gut-punch of a show is giving Emily In Paris a run for her high heels, but beware because the tone of The Accident is (as its title suggests), well, confusing, although it arguably should be completely tragic. Also, bouncy houses will look completely different in the future to all those who decide to watch, but anything more would ruin the experience for adventurous viewers looking for a weekend binge.
Whenever this show comes to an end, Ken Leung should really receive a spin off so that he can portray Eric forever. With that wish list item said, This show has received plentiful comparisons to Euphoria but set in London’s financial sector, and these extremely messy characters are doing whatever it takes to both rise to the top of their career path and keep their sh*t together. They don’t succeed too well at the latter goal, but the show itself is leveling up and expanding horizons by throwing new challenges at its characters. Do not sleep on Industry‘s new season, and read our review here.
The NFL season is just a week away from kicking off, and the San Francisco 49ers are among the favorites in the NFC. The Niners spent this offseason looking to bolster their offense, re-signing Christian McCaffrey and recently inking Brandon Aiyuk to an extension, while adding more receiver help in the Draft by taking Ricky Pearsall out of Florida late in the first round. The Niners took Pearsall in hopes of adding another dynamic pass catcher to their receiving corps, with high hopes that he could make an impact as a rookie on a title contender.
On Saturday, some unfortunate news broke out of San Francisco regarding the Niners top rookie, as multiple outlets reported that Pearsall had been shot in a robbery attempt in Union Square. KGO-TV’s Dion Lim broke the news, with ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirming, and NBC Bay Area’s Gia Vang provided a follow-up to note that Pearsall was in stable condition and the suspect was in custody. Niners star Deebo Samuel also provided a brief, positive update on Pearsall’s status, tweeting “He’s good. Thank god!!!!”
According to San Francisco PD, via Sean Cunningham of FOX 40, Pearsall was shot through the chest while heading to a signing event in an attempted robbery of his Rolex. Both Pearsall and the subject were shot after a struggle for the gun and both are in stable condition.
It’s the second time in three years that an NFL rookie has been shot in a robbery attempt, as Commanders running back Brian Robinson was shot during an attempted carjacking in Washington D.C. just prior to the 2022 season. Robinson returned to the field in early October and has gone on to have a successful start to his NFL career, and hopefully Pearsall is able to follow suit with a full, speedy recovery to get on the field with the Niners after a tragic and senseless incident.
With Labor Day on Monday (September 2), people around the country are enjoying the holiday weekend. But, before Camila Cabello could set her out-of-office message she had one last announcement to share.
Yesterday (August 30), the “Hot Uptown” singer revealed that the deluxe edition of her C, XOXO album will arrive sooner than fans think. Despite it being just shy of her fourth studio album’s three-month anniversary, Camila Cabello won’t let that deter her plans.
On X (formerly Twitter), Camila Cabello subtly addressed the quick turnaround. “Always more stories to tell,” she wrote. “Some new songs for your night in Magic City. 9/6.”
In just one week, fans will experience a whole new set of tracks, according to the message. Although Camila Cabello hasn’t shared the tracklist, in her Instagram stories she seemed to tease that Afrobeats and Afro-pop star Ayra Starr might make a guest appearance.
If true that suggests an entirely different sonic influences from the initial project’s all rap collaborators including Playboi Carti, Lil Nas X, JT, Yung Miami, and Drake.
In July, Camila Cabello penned another to discuss the body of work’s deeply personal meaning. “‘C, XOXO’ is a diary entry in the lifelong journey to live a life that is authentically and boldly and joyfully signed by me,” she wrote. “it is unbelievably hard, and it has been unbelievably vulnerable to do it out loud and put out this album… ‘C, XOXO’ was the album I needed to write. it’s the world I needed to create and live in, and it’s got some new characters – YOU.”
C, XOXO: Magic City is out 9/6 via Geffen/Interscope. Find more information here.
During an interview with Vulture, Kaytranada revealed that he was seemingly approached to work on Drake’s album, Honestly, Nevermind.
While attending a Coachella after-party, Kaytranada said he was fielded to see if he would open to produce on the body of work or “make beats.” At the moment, he replied to Drake’s supposed representative saying it would be “an honor.” However, that didn’t go over well with Drake.
After time had passed, Kaytranada alleged that word got back to him to that his “Sure, hit me up” response wasn’t warm enough. “Was I supposed to be like, ‘Oh my God, for real? Drake?’ I’m not like that,” he said.
The 2022 project, which featured singles “Sticky,” “Massive,” and “Jimmy Cooks,” was Drake’s head dive into dance music. Alight the album went to debut atop the charts, a collaboration from Kaytranada could’ve helped it remain in the top spot for much longer.
Drake wasn’t the only superstar to fumble a collaboration with Kaytranada. Later in the conversation, he confessed why his beloved remix of Beyoncé’s “Cuff It” track isn’t available to streaming platforms. Ultimately, Kaytranada nixed the upload due to financial reasons.
“Sometimes people don’t see your worth and how important you are,” he said. “I know what I mean to people.” His response was after he claimed Beyoncé’s team offered to pay him next to nothing or “less money than what much smaller artists have paid” while “retaining all the rights to the song.”
It appears Kaytranada has no problem walking away from what doesn’t serve him.
Chappell Roan, Hayley Williams, and Madison Beer have voiced their concerns over obsessive fan behavior. Although their feelings are surely valid, each of the musician’s online fan communities have done far more good than harm.
However, for those supporters based in Brazil that connection has been severed due to the X (formerly Twitter) ban. Many of the platform’s users recall the day Twitter was predicted to die (see #RIPTwitter). For Brazilian music fan page operators that day has official come today (August 31) according to the New York Times.
In screenshots captured by Pop Crave (viewable here), accounts dedicated to Miley Cyrus, Bruno Mars, Ariana Grande, and Chappell Roan
“I’ll miss you guys,” wrote Miley Cyrus Charts. “Thanks for one decade of tweeting and giving entertainment moments…It’s been a long journey that we are proud to be a part.”
Ariana Grande charts keep it short, writing: “Now, once, and for all, BYE.”
Bruno Mars Access went on to show its appreciation to other fan pages. “From fan to fan, thank you for all the love and support,” it wrote. “We’re hoping to be back soon.”
Lastly, a page all about pop’s latest darling Chappell Roan signed out with a touching note, writing: “If this is my last tweet: Chappell Roan you changed my life. And for the almost 34K followers, thank you for building this little community with me! I’ll miss sharing this space with you. I love y’all.”
Even Cardi B took notice to many of her largest fan pages seemingly signing off for the last time.
“Wait a lot of my fan pages are Brazilian,” she wrote. “Come back. Hold up!”
Although Elon Musk intends to fight the ban (as reported by Bloomberg), unofficial fan pages have formally eulogized their accounts.
Thanks to Charli XCX’s latest album, the word “brat” is practically unavoidable. From summer (former) presidential playlists to fashion campaigns, it is everywhere. But don’t expect the trend to stop anytime soon as that brat mentality will extend well into the winter months and beyond.
According to Variety, the head Brat in charge has landed her second movie role. Based on the report, Charli XCX has been cast in Gregg Araki’s thriller I Want Your Sex.
The forthcoming film is described: “As a descent into a world of sex, obsession, power, betrayal and murder.”
I Want Your Sex‘s plot will follow main character Elliot (played by Cooper Hoffman) after he lands a job for Erika Tracy (played by Olivia Wilde) as her sexual muse. At this time, not much is known at Olivia XCX’s role but given her public persona’s she is sure to fit right into this wild fictional world.
At the helm of the upcoming picture is Gregg Araki as I Want Your Sex‘s confirmed director. Araki is also credited as its scriptwriter alongside Karley Sciortino. Black Bear is tasked with meeting the movie’s production needs. Whispers claim that production is scheduled for early-fall (October) in Los Angeles, California.
Yesterday (August 30), the outlet reported that the misdemeanor trespassing charge Scott picked up on June 20 was dismissed due to a legal loophole.
Scott’s legal representatives supposedly argued that because there weren’t any “no trespassing” signs, the matter should be dropped. Shockingly, that simple argument was enough to sway the local prosecutor. In a statement Scott’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, expressed gratitude over the decision.
“After arguing the motion to dismiss and the state realizing that there was no path to maintaining the charge, they decided to drop the case in its entirety,” he said. “Although not a serious charge, and one that should not have been filed, we are pleased with the result.”
No further information was shared regarding his disorderly intoxication charge. Shortly after Travis Scott’s mugshot was released to the public, he transposed the image onto a t-shirt then made it available as merchandise on his official website. So, it is safe to say he isn’t too upset over the mater.
If you are keeping track, that makes Scott two for two in recent wins over legal dust-ups. First, his detainment in Paris. Now, the Miami matter.
