Love them or not, they own that carpet.
Rachel Zegler turns 25 today! The Snow White and West Side Story star hits the milestone birthday, officially entering her rent-a-car-without-getting-scammed era. Happy birthday to a Broadway girlie who keeps winning.
Ice Spice went from a McDonald's scuffle to a Wendy's brand deal and honestly? Iconic pivot. After that spicy altercation at the golden arches in April, she's now starring in a Wendy's ad promoting their chicken sandwich. When life gives you fast food drama, you monetize it with a competing chain. Marketing genius or chaos? Both.

Olivia Rodrigo pulled double duty on SNL and absolutely delivered. She hosted AND performed, debuting a brand new track called "begged" from her upcoming third album. AND THEN — Debbie Harry herself walked out to introduce Rodrigo's performance of "drop dead." The torch-passing energy was immaculate. Connor Storrie from Heated Rivalry also popped up to introduce her second song because why not make the whole night a moment.
Post Malone is pushing back the start of his Big Ass Stadium Tour with Jelly Roll because… the album isn't done yet. He hopped on socials Friday night like "we ain't ready for tour just yet" and canceled the first few weeks of dates. Respect the honesty, but Jelly Roll fans are probably screaming into a pillow right now.
Charli xcx wants everyone to calm down — she is NOT making a rock album. After British Vogue reported she had "rock music" in the works, Charli shared a teaser of a song literally called "Rock Music" but clarified it's a song title, not a genre pivot. Classic Charli trolling.
Gracie Abrams announced a new single called "Hit the Wall" dropping May 14. The sad girl summer pipeline stays fully operational. Mark your calendars.
Madonna and Anna Wintour teamed up for a theatrical promo for Confessions II tied to Devil Wears Prada 2. Two absolute titans of intimidation in one frame? The power radiating from this collab could power a small city.
Lily Allen is doing a one-woman pop tour and it might be the best show of the year. No band, no backup dancers — just Lily, a stage, and vibes. Variety is calling it deeply counterintuitive and possibly brilliant. We're intrigued.
The Tragically Hip, Feist, and Loverboy's songwriters are entering the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. A massive moment for Canadian music royalty. Feist getting her flowers? Overdue.
Morgan Wallen called out celebs who bailed on his Las Vegas walkout segment. During his Allegiant Stadium show he straight up told the crowd "y'all got some flaky a— people in this town." The man said what he said, on a mic, in front of thousands. We need names, Morgan.

Diego Luna is joining Disney's live-action Tangled remake. Fresh off wrapping Andor, he's staying in the Disney universe but swapping the galaxy far, far away for a tower with really long hair. No word yet on his exact role but the casting alone is chef's kiss.
Steve Carell might FINALLY win an Emmy. The man has 11 nominations and zero wins, which is genuinely criminal, but his performance in HBO's Rooster is generating serious buzz. Variety is calling him a secret contender. Give this man his statue already.
NBC axed Brilliant Minds after two seasons and Stumble after just one. Another day, another network cleanup. Brilliant Minds had a decent run but Stumble barely got to stumble before getting yanked.
The Beef creator says he's "perfectly happy" if Season 3 never happens. Lee Jung Sin originally wanted three seasons of the Netflix anthology but seems at peace with two. Sometimes knowing when to stop is the flex.
May streaming is loaded. Wuthering Heights, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, and more are hitting platforms this month. Between that and the theatrical releases of Devil Wears Prada 2 and The Mandalorian and Grogu, your screen time is about to be obscene.

Miranda Hope from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives turned her ex-husband's texts into an emo song on TikTok. She literally took Chase McWhorter's messages, channeled her inner Blink-182, and posted the whole thing. Petty? Absolutely. Entertaining? Wildly. This is the content the internet was built for.
TikTok & Internet
The Miranda Hope text-to-song pipeline is the kind of unhinged TikTok content we live for. Turning your ex's actual texts into a pop-punk track is next-level breakup energy, and the SLOMW fanbase is eating it up. If your ex is boring enough to text you nonsense, at least make it a banger.
