What's Trending
- Okay, the "zombie BBL" thing: per the meltdown happening on r/popculturechat, fat from donated bodies is now being used as filler for breasts, buttocks, and more — and Dakota Johnson talking about it on late night sent the whole trend stratospheric. Forget donating your body to science; apparently it's the beauty industry now. Horrifying! Fascinating! 2026, behave.
- The Kardashian season promo is getting roasted over on BuzzFeed, where the reaction to the heavily filtered poster ranges from confusion to full-body shudders. When your fanbase can't recognize your faces, maybe ease up on the slider.
- Streamflation has people at their breaking point: price hikes plus endless ads have folks telling BuzzFeed "I'm cancelling all my shit besides YouTube" and openly pining for the Blockbuster and DVD era. The physical media truthers were right all along and they will not let us forget it.
Music
- The Sia bag is enormous: $180 million for half her catalog, and the avatar concert plan means you may soon "see" her perform without her ever being in the building — which, given her whole face-wig era, honestly tracks.
- BTS revival watch continues: new episodes of their beloved variety series Run BTS! are coming, and the teaser shows the boys getting competitive at pickleball in Toronto. Chaos, but make it athletic.
- Alex Warren cranked the smoke machines to maximum for his "Cry Wolf" performance on Fallon — Billboard calls his run with "Ordinary" "a hit for the ages," so the smoke is earned.
- Over on YouTube, Aventura and Don Omar's "Ella y Yo" just entered the Billion Views Club more than 20 years after release. Bachata immortality.
- Silverchair confirmed they will NOT be playing the NRL Grand Final, with the all-timer quote "We're way too rusty" — joining Tones And I on the sidelines. The most honest band statement in years.
- Quick tour notes: The Teskey Brothers will headline the free Global Citizen Nights: Perth on Oct. 20 (South Summit and Ruby Rodgers on the bill), and The Avalanches mapped out an early-2027 Australia run that includes the Sydney Opera House Forecourt.

- The 39th Tokyo International Film Festival unveiled its full program: a 15-film main competition featuring Garin Nugroho, Mishima Yukiko, and Qiu Jiongjiong. Variety also dropped trailers for two world premieres — Ariani Darmawan's Jani Be Good, her first feature in 15 years, and Venice Golden Lion winner Milcho Manchevski's Sister Brother Manhole Cover, which is a real title I will be thinking about all week.
- Awards-season messiness: I Swear scored seven BAFTA Scotland nominations, but per Variety, Tourette's campaigner John Davidson will watch the ceremony from a "separate" area within the venue following the N-word controversy at this year's BAFTA Film awards — a saga BAFTA clearly hoped was over.

Celebrity Tea
- The Jim Carrey wedding was reportedly tiny, private, and in L.A., with Min Ah as the bride — TMZ sources say the two had already gone public with their relationship before quietly making it official. A low-key ending (beginning?) for one of Hollywood's most low-key couples.
