The Tortured Poets Department returned to No. 1 during its tenth week on the chart, beating Gracie Abrams’ The Secret of Us to top the Billboard 200. It earned 115,000 equivalent album units this time around, including 87,000 SEA units (equaling 113.21 million on-demand official streams of the deluxe edition’s 31 songs), 28,000 in album sales, plus 1,000 TEA units.

Tortured Poets joins the original editions of 1989 and Fearless as Swift’s third album to spend at least ten weeks at No. 1. Whitney Houston, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, and The Kingston Trio are the only acts to spend ten weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart with at least three albums before Swift, but she made history as the only artist to do so this century.

The Tortured Poets Department hit the shelves on April 19, and Swift promoted its release by dropping the double album edition The Anthology and the lead single “Fortnight” ft. Post Malone.

Shortly after billboards featuring tweets referencing her height made the rounds online, Carpenter revealed they weren’t there in vain. She used them to tease her new album Short n’ Sweet ahead of its release on August 23 via Island Records.

This announcement doesn’t come as a shocker, since Carpenter dropped several hints she’s working on new music in recent months. Back in March, she told Cosmopolitan that she feels like she’s outgrown her old songs, adding this means her next chapter is right around the corner.

She also teased the release of her new album with “Espresso”, which became a viral hit since she dropped it back in April, ahead of her Coachella performance. It went on to become her biggest hit to date, making it to the top ten in several countries and hitting No. 1 in the UK and Australia. It also peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her highest-charting hit in the US.

Universal describes Wicked as a spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event about two very different young women. Elphaba struggles to fit in with her peers at Shiz University due to her unusual green skin until she finds an unlikely ally in a privileged young witch Glinda.

“The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths,” reads the film’s official logline.

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande will lead the way as Elphaba and Glinda, who are destined to become Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West. They’ll be joined by Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Bowen Yang, and Peter Dinklage in supporting roles.

Wicked will be released on November 27, while its sequel will hit the theaters in November 2025.

Biel and Banks will play Chloe and Nicky, two sisters who have been estranged for years before a family tragedy brings them together. Their paths cross again after Chloe’s husband Adam is murdered, and the prime suspect sends shockwaves through the family, uncovering long-buried secrets they’ve been trying to hide.

Olivia Milch penned the pilot for this project, and she’s serving as its showrunner alongside Regina Corrado. They’ll both be credited as executive producers, along with Biel and Banks.

Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya, Dumb Money) is coming on board as the director of this project. He’s looking forward to reuniting with Tomorrow Studios, after working together on the Apple TV+ dramedy Physical.

“When I read Olivia and Regina’s propulsive scripts, I knew I wanted to be a part of it, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with these two world-class actresses for the first time. Watching them as rivaling sisters is going to be a blast,” said Gillespie in a statement.

Now You See Me series follows the adventures of the Four Horsemen, the bickering and sneaky quartet of talent illusionists, who are using their special talent to pull off lucrative heists. Lionsgate is keeping Now You See Me 3 plot details up its sleeve, but the sequel will introduce us to a new generation of magicians.

Character details are also being kept under wraps, but we know who’ll be a part of the new generation. Ariana Greenblatt (Barbie), Justice Smith (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves), and Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers) have been added to the cast of this project.

Now You See Me 3 will also mark the return of the star-studded cast of the first two films, led by Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Mark Ruffalo, and Morgan Freeman. The script went through several revisions over the years, but the latest version hails from Eric Warren Singer, Seth Graham Smith, and Mike Lesslie, while Ruben Fleischer has been tapped to direct.

Grey’s Anatomy will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year, and ABC is marking the occasion in style! They renewed the show for another season, and its creator Shonda Rhimes thanked the fans who supported it through the years, saying their loyalty and love have propelled this series into a historic 21st season.

Meg Marinis also deserves the credit for keeping Grey’s Anatomy alive and kicking after taking over as showrunner from Krista Vernoff in Season 20. She had to face many obstacles, from cutting the episode count to ten after the Hollywood strikes to reinviting the show as an ensemble series after the former lead Ellen Pompeo significantly reduced her involvement.

Even before the show was renewed for Season 21, Marinis made it clear she was here to stay for as long as ABC wanted her to.

“I’ve not been informed that this is the last season so I’m going to keep going and telling stories as long as they let me. We still have stories to tell. We receive a tremendous amount of support from the studio and the network and from Shondaland,” she told Deadline ahead of the Season 20 premiere.

Roberts will play “a college professor, who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star pupil levels an accusation against one of her colleagues and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come to light,” according to the film’s official logline.

Nora Garrett wrote the script for this project, while Allan Mandelbaum brought it to Imagine Entrainment and played a crucial role in getting it to Guadagnino and Roberts. He’s producing the project alongside Guadagnino and Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer.

Amazon MGM Studios landed the hot package after collaborating with Guadagnino on Challengers. The sports drama, set in the world of tennis, stars Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist, and it’s hitting the theaters on April 16.

As for Roberts, she most recently starred alongside Mahershala Ali and Ethan Hawke in Netflix’s hit thriller Leave the World Behind. This film reunited her with Sam Esmail, who previously worked with Roberts on the Amazon Prime Video series Homecoming, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination.

Speculation about the potential ending of The Bear began swirling after local Chicago outlets dropped hints about Christopher Storer’s agreement to film additional episodes. Deadline decided to dig deeper, and they claim that the acclaimed FX series is nowhere near reaching its end.

The official announcement for Season 4 renewal hasn’t been released by FX, but Deadline claims it’s just a formality. Filming is already underway in Chicago, a move strategically designed to accommodate the busy schedules of the show’s Emmy-winning trio Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

There’s also chatter about Season 4 potentially serving as the final chapter of The Bear, drawing parallels to FX’s treatment of Atlanta, which concluded after shooting Seasons 3 and 4 back-to-back. Deadline claims there’s no truth to these rumors, and the door remains open for a potential fifth season.

The third season of The Bear will return to FX this June. Its official release date remains a mystery, but we know that all episodes will be released at once, sticking to the binge-drop model of the first two seasons.
