Lisa Kudrow's Valerie Cherish Returns, Anya Taylor-Joy Hypes Dune 3, and Bob Dylan Opens 2026 With a Deep Cut
What's Trending
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is consuming everyone's personality. BuzzFeed already has a "which character are you" quiz out, which means this thing has officially hit critical mass. If you haven't picked your cosmic soulmate yet, are you even online right now?
Someone possibly found the most-viewed TikTok video in history and nobody noticed. A user flagged that TikTok MENA's account has videos pushing nearly 4 BILLION views thanks to aggressive FYP placement. Four billion! That's half the planet. The discourse about whether it "counts" is already heating up.
Music
Bob Dylan kicked off his 2026 tour and immediately went full Bob Dylan. He dusted off "Man in the Long Black Coat" for the first time since 2013 AND debuted a cover of Eddie Cochran's 1958 track "Nervous Breakdown." New acoustic set too. The man is 84 and still keeping everyone guessing about setlists. Legend behavior.
Harry Styles content continues to thrive in quiz form. BuzzFeed wants you to match his songs to fruit, which honestly tracks for someone whose aesthetic is literally cherry-coded. Pick "Little Freak" and tell me you're not a cherry. You can't.
Movies & TV
THE COMEBACK IS BACK AND THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Lisa Kudrow and Michael Patrick King are breaking down the Season 3 premiere of HBO Max's "The Comeback," and they're already saying this is the final chapter for Valerie Cherish. If you know, you KNOW how long fans have waited for this. Valerie getting a new chapter while the show gets its last one is poetic and devastating.
Anya Taylor-Joy is teasing her Dune 3 role and she's not being subtle about it. She says there's "never been anybody like" Alia Atreides, calling her "one of a kind." Given that Alia is literally a consciousness-loaded super-being, she's not wrong. The hype for this movie is reaching critical levels.
NBC is going BIG for its MLB launch. They unveiled a campaign crashing into big city landscapes for their baseball coverage on NBC and Peacock. Sports media wars stay entertaining even if you don't care about sports.

Tom Holland publicly praising Zendaya's "The Drama" is the wholesome content we needed today. These two continue to be the couple that makes everyone else feel single. Just out here hyping each other's projects like it's their full-time job. It kind of is and we love it.
Ryan Gosling gave a shout-out to Days of Our Lives' Marlena and Deidre Hall and soap fans are LOSING it. The man never forgot his daytime TV roots. This is genuinely so endearing — he started on a Canadian soap and still has love for the genre. Protect Ryan Gosling at all costs.
Designer Charlotte Simone is having a MOMENT. Anya Taylor-Joy, Dua Lipa, Rosalía, Madonna, Taylor, and Charli are all wearing her coats. When your client list reads like a festival headliner poster, you've made it. She pivoted from scarves during the pandemic and honestly, what a power move.
TikTok & Internet
The makeupqueenn30 discourse is alive and well. Someone posted "I despise makeupqueenn30 but…" which is the most TikTok Reddit sentence ever written. The "but" is doing SO much heavy lifting there. Love-hate creator relationships are the backbone of this app.
TikTok's content moderation is being unhinged again. Someone searched "birthday yes" — a quote from Wednesday — and got flagged for hateful content. BIRTHDAY YES. The algorithm said absolutely not. Meanwhile, an age-restricted user got approved with their actual ID and STILL can't DM or go live. Make it make sense.
A creator can't promote their own song on TikTok despite distributing through DistroKid. The platform literally has the song in its library but won't let the artist promote it. TikTok fighting independent musicians for no reason continues to be a recurring storyline nobody asked for.
