Susan Sarandon Showed Up to Coachella as Old Sabrina Carpenter and We Have Questions
What's Trending
Susan Sarandon delivered a monologue at Coachella… as an elderly Sabrina Carpenter. Yes, you read that correctly. The Oscar-winning actress appeared during Sabrina's headlining set in character as a future version of her, and honestly? Nobody had this on their Coachella bingo card. It's the kind of unhinged crossover event that makes this festival worth paying attention to.
Sabrina Carpenter is also apologizing after a cultural mix-up on stage. During her Coachella set, a fan in the audience did a zaghrouta — a traditional Arabic celebration call — and Sabrina mistook it for yodeling, calling it "weird." She's since acknowledged she "could have handled it better." A learning moment wrapped in a festival moment.
Anyma's Coachella set got fully canceled due to severe weather and the electronic artist says he's "truly devastated and deeply sorry." He's promising he's working on a solution for fans, but if you were in that crowd waiting for him to go on — yeah, that stings. Mother Nature said not tonight.
Music
Justin Bieber went full nostalgia at Coachella and honestly it worked. His set was stripped-down and minimal — the total opposite of Sabrina's maximalist production — leaning heavy into his "swag" era tracks. But the real moment? He literally played old YouTube clips of himself and performed "Baby." The internet collectively reverted to 2010.
The Beyhive is spiraling over Act III. After Renaissance and Cowboy Carter, fans are deep in speculation mode about what Beyoncé's trilogy closer will sound like. No official announcement yet, but that has never stopped the hive from manifesting.
Japan's Prime Minister told Deep Purple "you are my god" and that's just a delightful sentence to read. The rock legends clearly still have it if they're getting that kind of energy from world leaders.
Movies & TV
Frankie Muniz crashed his Malcolm in the Middle-themed NASCAR truck on the same day the show's revival premiered. You literally cannot write this kind of timing. Life in the fast lane meets life in the middle, and Frankie is living both simultaneously.
Labrinth is clearing the air about his Euphoria situation. The composer/artist took to his IG stories to clarify where things stand with the show, which has been in production limbo for what feels like seventeen years. The feud rumors apparently needed addressing.
Celebrity Tea
Jack Whitehall hosted SNL U.K. and spent his entire monologue roasting his own wedding plans, including a joke about booking recently-fired BBC DJ Scott Mills to perform. His wedding is apparently next week, so at least he's keeping the pre-wedding jitters entertaining.
Bigi "Blanket" Jackson made a rare red carpet appearance with family to promote his late father Michael Jackson's upcoming biopic. He's 24 now (yes, feel old) and these public sightings are genuinely few and far between, so it was a moment.
Lana Condor showed up and showed OUT at the Fashion Trust U.S. 2026 Awards. The To All the Boys star on a red carpet is always a serve.
TikTok & Internet
The TikTok content theft problem is alive and well. Creators are still dealing with people straight-up stealing their videos, blocking them, and racking up views on stolen content. One creator is venting about having multiple videos jacked with zero recourse. The platform really needs to figure this out.
Apparently there are TWO TikTok apps showing up on Google now? Users are confused, the features are slightly different, and nobody has a clear answer. If you thought the TikTok saga couldn't get weirder, it just did.
