Liam Payne, who became a household name during his time with One Direction, tragically passed away at 31. His sudden death triggered an outpouring of tributes from fans, peers, and his former collaborators, including the members of One Direction, who were “completely devastated” by the news.

Payne was found dead at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina on October 16, after he fell from a third-floor balcony. The singer’s fans gathered at the hotel in the Palermo neighborhood to pay tribute to the former One Direction singer, and his father visited the memorial upon arriving in Argentina.

Payne’s One Direction bandmates, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik, released individual and joint statements, reflecting on the time they spent together.

“We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing. In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly. The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever,” reads the band’s joint statement.

Payne joined One Direction after taking part in the singing competition The X Factor in 2010, and they went down in history as one of the best-selling boy bands of all time. After the band went on hiatus in 2016, Payne shifted focus to his solo music and released his debut album LP1 in 2019.

2024 has truly been the year of Taylor Swift, and her domination continued at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. She came into the night with 12 nods and managed to take seven Moon Person trophies home, including the video of the year award for “Fortnight” ft. Post Malone.

Ariana Grande’s “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)”, Billie Eilish’s “Lunch”, Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red”, Eminem’s “Houdini”, SZA’s “Snooze” were also in the running for the ceremony’s most coveted award, but none of them could come even close to “Fortnight”.

Swift’s collaboration with Post Malone was also named best collaboration and song of the summer, in addition to winning awards for best editing and direction. Swift won two more individual awards – artist of the year and best pop.

“Fortnight” was definitely the biggest winner of this year’s MTV VMAs, but it failed to win one of the night’s most coveted awards – song of the year. Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” came out victorious, beating the likes of Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em”, Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me”, Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”, and Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control”.

The 2024 MTV VMAs were held at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, on September 11, with Megan Thee Stallion hosting the festivities.

Robert Downey Jr. knows what it’s like to play one of Marvel’s biggest heroes, but he’ll soon get a chance to become a villain. The Oscar winner is re-joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Doom in the next two Avengers movies.

Downey is one of the actors responsible for building the MCU into a global phenomenon during his time as Tony Stark/Iron Man. The franchise has been struggling to reach its old glory since his exit, and he’ll try to help revitalize it as a brand-new character.

All hell broke loose after the Russo brothers stepped on stage at the San Diego Comic-Con to announce they’re bringing Doctor Doom back for two new movies – Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. A masked man wearing green joined them and took his mask off in a theatrical fashion, revealing he was none other than Robert Downey Jr.

Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars will come out in 2026 and 2027 as a part of the MCU’s Phase Six, and it remains to be seen if Downey will make a cameo as Doctor Doom in any films leading up to them. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is the most obvious choice because Doctor Doom is one of the team’s main villains, but the footage unveiled at Comic-Con didn’t give us any hints about his potential appearance.

The Boys grew into one of Amazon Prime Video’s biggest hits since its premiere, but all good things must come to an end. Eric Kripke announced his decision to wrap up this superhero satire with Season 5, which he described as “a gory, epic, emotional climax.”

This hit series chronicles the journey of the group of vigilantes known as The Boys and their formidable leader Billy Butcher, who are ready to do whatever it takes to take down the corrupt superhero team The Seven, led by the ruthless Homelander.

Prime Video recently renewed The Boys for its fifth season, and its creator Eric Kripke just announced this will be the show’s final chapter. He imagined this series with a five-season arc and said he’s thrilled to bring the story to its gory, epic, emotional climax.

Other projects in this franchise may continue their run, including the spin-off Gen V, but Season 5 felt like the natural ending for the mothership series.

The Boys story is about Butcher and Homelander and these two planets crashing into each other and this particular story doesn’t work without both of them. And you can only keep that going for so long. So what I would say is, this particular story is ending,” Kripke told Variety.

The Boys will return for its fourth season on Amazon Prime Video on June 13.

Billie Eilish made a thrilling return with Hit Me Hard and Soft, and her third studio album was definitely worth the wait. It certainly deserves to be listened to in full, but these five songs emerged as the early favorites among fans and critics alike.

“Lunch”

Released as the lead single Hit Me Hard and Soft, “Lunch” is the closest thing this album has to “Bad Guy”, and it sees Eilish getting very open about her attraction to women.

“Chihiro”

Named after the Spirited Away heroine, “Chihiro” is destined to become one of the album’s biggest hits, and its groovy sound grabs you right away and never lets go.

“Birds of a Feather”

“Birds of a Feather” explores the ties that binds us in the face of hardship, and it’s one of the softest and most radio-friendly songs that Hit Me Hard and Soft has in store.

“L’Amour de Ma Vie”

“L’Amour de Ma Vie” feels like two songs wrapped into one, and it sees Eilish not shying away from getting weird and experimental and switching things up.

“Blue”

Hit Me Hard and Soft is a cohesive album that often returns to the same lyrical ideas, and no song captures this better than its brilliant final track “Blue”.

Madonna broke countless records throughout her four-decades-long career, and she’s showing no signs of stopping. She wrapped up The Celebration Tour with a free concert in Brazil, which made history as the largest concert by a standalone artist after attracting 1.6 million people.

The Queen of Pop kicked off her career-spanning The Celebration Tour in October last year, and she wanted to wrap it up in style. She announced a free gig taking place at the iconic Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and described it as “an unforgettable concert in one of the world’s most beautiful settings.”

She decided to make the tickets 100% free as “a thank you to her fans for celebrating more than four decades of her music over the course of the epic global run of the tour.” This strategy certainly worked, and the last act of The Celebration Tour was one to remember.

Anitta and Pabllo Vittar joined Madonna on stage in Rio de Janeiro, where she performed some of her biggest hits in front of 1.6 million people. This concert broke a major attendance record and became the largest concert by a standalone artist, even though Copacabana Beach attracted ever bigger crowds during past New Year’s Eve events.

Taylor Swift has given us a lot of new music in the past few years, and she’s showing no signs of stopping! Her eleventh studio album The Tortured Poets Department was worth the wait, and she celebrated its release by dropping a music video for the Post Malone collaboration “Fortnight”.

Directed by Swift herself, the music video for “Fortnight” sees the singer fully embracing the madness of being in love. Most of the video takes place inside a mental asylum, where the Dead Poets Society stars Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles conduct experiments on Swift alongside Post Malone, who also plays her co-worker and love interest in the video.

“Fortnight” was released as the lead single from The Tortured Poets Department, and bringing Post Malone for the ride was a dream come true for Swift.

“I’ve been such a huge fan of Post because of the writer he is, his musical experimentation, and those melodies he creates that just stick in your head forever.  got to witness that magic come to life firsthand when we worked together on ‘Fortnight,’” she wrote on social media.

“Fortnight” serves as the opening track of Swift’s latest studio album The Tortured Poets Department, which hit the shelves on April 19. Its standard edition features a total of 16 brand-new songs, but Swift also released the second volume subtitled The Anthology, which features 15 more tracks.

Cowboy Carter was expected to hit No. 1 after attracting impressive streaming numbers following its release, and it lived up to the hype. It hit no. 1 with 407,000 equivalent album units, becoming Beyoncé’s eighth solo studio album to top the Billboard 200 chart.

SEA units made up 232,000 album units, equaling 300.41 million official streams, which marks the largest streaming week of Beyoncé’s career. Cowboy Carter also earned 168,000 units in pure album sales, helping Beyoncé top Billboard’s Album Sales charts and net the largest vinyl week of her career, since vinyl copies amounted to 62,000 of the units sold.

Beyoncé’s decision to put her own twist on country with Cowboy Carter also helped her make history on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.

Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick have proven themselves as quite a dynamic duo in A Simple Favor, and they’re coming back for another round! Amazon MGM Studios officially ordered A Simple Favor 2, and several members of the original cast agreed to return for the sequel.

Based on Darcey Bell’s book of the same name, A Simple Favor told the tale of a small-town vlogger who finds herself wrapped up in an investigation involving her mysterious rich friend. Paul Feig directed the first film, and he’s returning to helm the sequel, while Jessica Sharzer came back to write the script.

A Simple Favor 2 will also feature many familiar faces in front of the camera. Kendrick and Lively will return in the lead roles, and they won’t be alone. The film’s supporting cast includes the original cast members Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Joshua Satine, Ian Ho, and Kelly McCormack.

Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Lively) will head to Capri, Italy for their next adventure. Emily’s getting ready to host an extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman, but the film’s official logline promises “more twists and turns than the road from the Marina Grande to the Capri town square”, with murder and betrayal awaiting those who dare to RSVP.

The second season of House of the Dragon will see two opposing clans of the Targaryen family fighting for the Iron Throne, and it’s time to pick a side. HBO teased the show’s return in June by dropping “Black” and “Green” trailers for the upcoming Season 2.

The “Black” trailer marks the return of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy), who’s not planning to back down after her half-brother King Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) usurped the throne. She’s planning to reclaim her rightful place on the Iron Throne, and there are many allies by her side, ready to back her up.

Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) isn’t one of them, and she’s ready to do whatever it takes to keep her son Aegon on the Iron Throne. The “Green” trailer sees her trying to show the world that Aegon is one true king, but that’s proving to be quite a challenge.

Season 2 will also star Matt Smith, Eve Best, Steve Toussaint, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Sonoya Mizuno, and Rhys Ifans, along with several newcomers to Westeros, including Abubakar Salim, Freddie Fox, Gayle Rankin, Simon Russell Beale, and Clinton Liberty.

The second season of House of the Dragon will premiere on HBO on June 16, and it will feature eight brand-new episodes.

This hit series chronicles the journey of the group of vigilantes known as The Boys and their formidable leader Billy Butcher, who are ready to do whatever it takes to take down the corrupt superhero team The Seven, led by the ruthless Homelander.

Prime Video recently renewed The Boys for its fifth season, and its creator Eric Kripke just announced this will be the show’s final chapter. He imagined this series with a five-season arc and said he’s thrilled to bring the story to its gory, epic, emotional climax.

Other projects in this franchise may continue their run, including the spin-off Gen V, but Season 5 felt like the natural ending for the mothership series.

The Boys story is about Butcher and Homelander and these two planets crashing into each other and this particular story doesn’t work without both of them. And you can only keep that going for so long. So what I would say is, this particular story is ending,” Kripke told Variety.

The Boys will return for its fourth season on Amazon Prime Video on June 13.

Billie Eilish made a thrilling return with Hit Me Hard and Soft, and her third studio album was definitely worth the wait. It certainly deserves to be listened to in full, but these five songs emerged as the early favorites among fans and critics alike.

“Lunch”

Released as the lead single Hit Me Hard and Soft, “Lunch” is the closest thing this album has to “Bad Guy”, and it sees Eilish getting very open about her attraction to women.

“Chihiro”

Named after the Spirited Away heroine, “Chihiro” is destined to become one of the album’s biggest hits, and its groovy sound grabs you right away and never lets go.

“Birds of a Feather”

“Birds of a Feather” explores the ties that binds us in the face of hardship, and it’s one of the softest and most radio-friendly songs that Hit Me Hard and Soft has in store.

“L’Amour de Ma Vie”

“L’Amour de Ma Vie” feels like two songs wrapped into one, and it sees Eilish not shying away from getting weird and experimental and switching things up.

“Blue”

Hit Me Hard and Soft is a cohesive album that often returns to the same lyrical ideas, and no song captures this better than its brilliant final track “Blue”.

Madonna broke countless records throughout her four-decades-long career, and she’s showing no signs of stopping. She wrapped up The Celebration Tour with a free concert in Brazil, which made history as the largest concert by a standalone artist after attracting 1.6 million people.

The Queen of Pop kicked off her career-spanning The Celebration Tour in October last year, and she wanted to wrap it up in style. She announced a free gig taking place at the iconic Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and described it as “an unforgettable concert in one of the world’s most beautiful settings.”

She decided to make the tickets 100% free as “a thank you to her fans for celebrating more than four decades of her music over the course of the epic global run of the tour.” This strategy certainly worked, and the last act of The Celebration Tour was one to remember.

Anitta and Pabllo Vittar joined Madonna on stage in Rio de Janeiro, where she performed some of her biggest hits in front of 1.6 million people. This concert broke a major attendance record and became the largest concert by a standalone artist, even though Copacabana Beach attracted ever bigger crowds during past New Year’s Eve events.

Taylor Swift has given us a lot of new music in the past few years, and she’s showing no signs of stopping! Her eleventh studio album The Tortured Poets Department was worth the wait, and she celebrated its release by dropping a music video for the Post Malone collaboration “Fortnight”.

Directed by Swift herself, the music video for “Fortnight” sees the singer fully embracing the madness of being in love. Most of the video takes place inside a mental asylum, where the Dead Poets Society stars Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles conduct experiments on Swift alongside Post Malone, who also plays her co-worker and love interest in the video.

“Fortnight” was released as the lead single from The Tortured Poets Department, and bringing Post Malone for the ride was a dream come true for Swift.

“I’ve been such a huge fan of Post because of the writer he is, his musical experimentation, and those melodies he creates that just stick in your head forever.  got to witness that magic come to life firsthand when we worked together on ‘Fortnight,’” she wrote on social media.

“Fortnight” serves as the opening track of Swift’s latest studio album The Tortured Poets Department, which hit the shelves on April 19. Its standard edition features a total of 16 brand-new songs, but Swift also released the second volume subtitled The Anthology, which features 15 more tracks.

Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick have proven themselves as quite a dynamic duo in A Simple Favor, and they’re coming back for another round! Amazon MGM Studios officially ordered A Simple Favor 2, and several members of the original cast agreed to return for the sequel.

Based on Darcey Bell’s book of the same name, A Simple Favor told the tale of a small-town vlogger who finds herself wrapped up in an investigation involving her mysterious rich friend. Paul Feig directed the first film, and he’s returning to helm the sequel, while Jessica Sharzer came back to write the script.

A Simple Favor 2 will also feature many familiar faces in front of the camera. Kendrick and Lively will return in the lead roles, and they won’t be alone. The film’s supporting cast includes the original cast members Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Joshua Satine, Ian Ho, and Kelly McCormack.

Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Lively) will head to Capri, Italy for their next adventure. Emily’s getting ready to host an extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman, but the film’s official logline promises “more twists and turns than the road from the Marina Grande to the Capri town square”, with murder and betrayal awaiting those who dare to RSVP.

The second season of House of the Dragon will see two opposing clans of the Targaryen family fighting for the Iron Throne, and it’s time to pick a side. HBO teased the show’s return in June by dropping “Black” and “Green” trailers for the upcoming Season 2.

The “Black” trailer marks the return of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy), who’s not planning to back down after her half-brother King Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) usurped the throne. She’s planning to reclaim her rightful place on the Iron Throne, and there are many allies by her side, ready to back her up.

Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) isn’t one of them, and she’s ready to do whatever it takes to keep her son Aegon on the Iron Throne. The “Green” trailer sees her trying to show the world that Aegon is one true king, but that’s proving to be quite a challenge.

Season 2 will also star Matt Smith, Eve Best, Steve Toussaint, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Sonoya Mizuno, and Rhys Ifans, along with several newcomers to Westeros, including Abubakar Salim, Freddie Fox, Gayle Rankin, Simon Russell Beale, and Clinton Liberty.

The second season of House of the Dragon will premiere on HBO on June 16, and it will feature eight brand-new episodes.
