Quick Hits

• Noah Kahan is officially in the Hunger Games universe. "Draw You Out," the lead single from The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping soundtrack, hit at midnight, and both Billboard and Rolling Stone are on it — RS hears "heartache and hope," which is very on brand for both Noah and Panem.
• Metallica conquered the Sphere. The legends kicked off their Life Burns Faster Las Vegas residency Thursday night, and the full night-one setlist is already circulating.
• The Celebrity Traitors UK just broke its own record. Season 2 premiered to more than 8.8 million viewers on the BBC Thursday — the reality betrayal machine is thriving.
• Mac Miller's The Divine Feminine turned 10, and his estate marked it with an anniversary edition featuring three new songs, including a previously unreleased single. Tissues out.
• Drake pulled a fast one: tracks premiered in his FOMO short film are now a four-song HABIBTI (FOMO) deluxe on streaming, and Billboard has already ranked all of them.

What's Trending

• The internet is in a full Savannah James first-class debate after she explained her stance on flying with friends — she's married to billionaire LeBron but says, "There's no expectation of... having me be responsible for them." Per BuzzFeed, the timeline is split between "respect the boundary" and "girl, just buy the seat."
• BuzzFeed also rounded up the most embarrassing celebrity moments ever, and the cringe is elite: Justin Bieber's entry has people covering their eyes, and the Ben Affleck dating-app video — "It's meeee" — remains undefeated in the hall of fame of famous person humiliation.

Music

Movies & TV

• Paul Thomas Anderson directed a Cameron Winter concert film, and Variety's review of Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall is outright rapturous — rhapsodic piano, rich bottom-heavy sound, that low baritone. Add to the list.
• SNL this weekend: Dakota Johnson hosting, Turnstile as musical guest — and Dakota is insisting she'll form a "wall of death" for them. She said what she said.

Celebrity Tea

• BuzzFeed's roundup of "out of touch" celebrity fails is still making people mad, and yes, Gwyneth Paltrow saying an IV cures hangovers made the cut. 🙄 The rich are, famously, not like us.
• Feeling cocky? BuzzFeed has a celebrity lookalike quiz that's apparently way harder than it should be. I'm seeing double, and I'm losing.

TikTok & Internet

• The wholesomeness of the day: an aspiring actress stopped Jason Isaacs on a New York street for a chat, and he left her with the sweetest message about pursuing acting. As one commenter put it: "She's just casually interviewing Lucius Malfoy." Lucius would never, and yet.
• BuzzFeed's TikTok product roundups are at it again: a "glass hair" brush, a portable air pump, and a foot mask with — wait for it — a-peel-ing results. Take my money, algorithm.
