Natalia Bryant is ready to take that Mamba Mentality to school! On March 30, the eldest daughter of Vanessa and Kobe Bryant documented the exact moment she found out she'd been accepted to the University of Southern California, and it immediately lit up smiles across the internet. "I got in! I got in!" Natalia cheered as Vanessa beamed with pride. "Tears of joy," the proud mama wrote on Instagram. "I'm SO happy for you Nani! I know daddy is so PROUD OF YOU. I am so PROUD OF YOU!! Your hard work and dedication was so worth it. You pushed through the most excruciating pain imaginable and you succeeded.

The highly anticipated trailer for A24's Zola is finally here and it was definitely worth the wait. Written by Janicza Bravo and playwright Jeremy O. Harris, and based on an infamous 148-tweet thread , the film follows waitress Zola as she meets a sex worker named Stefani, who convinces Zola to join her on a cross-country road trip to make as much money as possible. Of course, nothing goes to plan and Zola soon finds herself trapped on the wildest trip of her life. The trailer absolutely delivers with all the outlandish moments brought to life by Taylour Paige 's Zola and Riley Keough's Stefani. Surprisingly, the most unexpected moment for me was hearing Nicholas Braun utter "schmoney" as Stefani's boyfriend, Derrek. Rounding out the cast are Colman Domingo as Stefani's pimp, X; Ari'el Stachel as Sean; Jason Mitchell as Dion; Nelcie Souffrant as Gail; and Ts Madison as Hollywood. Trust me when I say you're not ready for this film. If you'd

Image Source: Charming Charlton Photos Mya Johnson knew Jalaiah Harmon before she created the "Renegade" dance. The fellow TikTok creators had crossed paths before Harmon's choreography went viral last year. Harmon's dance first gained attention when influencers Charli D'Amelio and Addison Rae co-opted her work, and then again when Harmon publicly reclaimed it. Harmon's experience has stayed with Johnson ever since, as she didn't want anything like that to happen to her - and then it did. 15-year-old Johnson has been creating dance routines since TikTok was better known as Musical.ly. She has nearly 600K followers on the app and celebrities frequently share her routines on their personal accounts. Among those celebrities is rapper Cardi B. A few months ago, Johnson and her fellow creative, Chris Cotter , decided to create a new dance set to Cardi B's "Up," and their video exploded. "It went up really fast," Johnson told POPSU

Image Source: Getty / Jon Kopaloff In response to the rise in hate crimes toward Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders over the past few months, K-pop group BTS are speaking out in support of the #StopAsianHate movement. On March 29, the group posted a statement in both Korean and English to their official Twitter, along with the hashtags #StopAsianHate and #StopAAPIHate. "We send our deepest condolences to those who have lost their loved ones," the statement began. "We feel grief and anger. We recall moments when we faced discrimination as Asians. We have endured expletives without reason and were mocked for the way we look. We were even asked why Asians spoke in English." Instances of xenophobia and bigotry have been mounting since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, with nearly 3,800 documented cases of anti-Asian hate incidents happening nationwide over the last year. "We cannot put into words the pain of becoming the subject of hatred and violence for

No, your eyes weren't deceiving you: that's a giant, violent starfish you saw in the trailer for The Suicide Squad . It's our first glimpse at the movie's villain, Starro the Conqueror, a DC Comics baddie who comes from an ancient race of alien starfish beings. Think that sounds bizarre? You have no idea. Appropriately for the gleefully weird tone of The Suicide Squad , Starro is a very weird villain, starting with the fact that it's a malevolent alien entity that appears to be a giant, vicious, purple starfish. In the comics, it's a baddie that goes up against members of the Justice League, including Aquaman, the Flash, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman. On its first known visit to Earth, Starro turns three starfish into powered entities like itself; the three run amok and cause all sorts of trouble, including detonating an atomic bomb to absorb its energy and mind-controlling entire towns. Ultimately, the heroes manage to stop Starro, but a fragment of it sur

In a world where there's a section of impenetrable darkness called the Shadow Fold, a name like The Darkling doesn't exactly bring to mind someone heroic. Despite having an interesting relationship with protagonist and sun summoner Alina Starkov and being utterly charming, he's still the villain of the Shadow and Bone book series. For Netflix's upcoming adaptation , showrunner Eric Heisserer ultimately decided to give The Darkling a new moniker : General Kirigan. Played by Ben Barnes on the Netflix series , The Darkling is a powerful Grisha, aka a person who can manipulate matter at its most basic levels. He is also the leader of the Second Army of Ravka, which almost exclusively consists of Grisha. Known as a shadow summoner, The Darkling has the rare ability to manipulate shadows around him, which strengthens his claim that he's a descendant of The Black Heretic. Eventually, he recruits Alina to join him in the hopes of destroying the Shadow Fold, and the pair

When Dan Levy hosted Saturday Night Live on Feb. 6, he not only made his SNL debut , but he restarted a sweet host tradition. "It's interesting because I feel like I didn't start it, I simply restarted something," Dan exclusively told POPSUGAR. "Backstage there was a little note from Woody Harrelson to Phoebe Waller-Bridge and I asked what it was and they said, 'Oh, it was just like a little note of encouragement that Woody left for Phoebe.' And I thought, 'What a lovely gesture, why not pick it up and run with it?' So I asked if I could leave one for Regina. I think, technically, I simply restarted what I hoped would become a lovely little chain reaction. It took a year and a half in between, but we got it going." Knowing that Regina King would be hosting next, Dan passed the baton by leaving her a note of encouragement in her dressing room. "Regina! You got this! Much Love, Dan," he wrote on a Post-it note. Regina then followe

Hold up - did Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik tie the knot and not tell us? On Monday, Ingrid Michaelson fueled marriage rumors after she said Zayn was married while discussing their recent collab, "To Begin Again ," during a Patreon live stream. "We've never met, I've never spoken to him. Zayn doesn't do stuff he doesn't wanna do, and the fact that he did this song is very flattering," Ingrid said. "He's such a private person and now he's married and has a child so, he does the things he wants to do." Naturally, Ingrid's comments sent fans into a frenzy, and now the question that's likely on everyone's minds is: are they or aren't they? Well, it looks like Ingrid may have just fumbled her words. Shortly after, she took to her Instagram Stories to clarify her comments. "On my Patreon live stream, I said that I'm working with Zayn. I mentioned that he was married, and he's not married," Ingrid explained

Jennifer Love Hewitt made a name for herself with films like Heartbreakers and I Know What You Did Last Summer , but the road to stardom certainly wasn't easy. In a recent interview with Vulture , the 42-year-old actress recalled the "incredibly inappropriate" and "gross" questions she used to get asked from the media in the early 2000s. "It's interesting, I just watched the Britney Spears documentary [ Framing Britney Spears ], and there's that whole section in there talking about her breasts," Jennifer said. "At the time that I was going through it, and interviewers were asking what now would be incredibly inappropriate, gross things, it didn't feel that way. I mean, I was in barely any clothing the whole movie. For some reason, in my brain, I was able to just go, 'Okay, well, I guess they wouldn't be asking if it was inappropriate.'" "I laughed it off a lot of the time, and I wish maybe I hadn't."

Though he may no longer be a coach on The Voice , Adam Levine's friendship with Blake Shelton continues . . . as do the digs. In a recent Sirius XM Hits 1 interview, the Maroon 5 singer weighed in on whether he'd be willing to perform at Blake's forthcoming wedding to Gwen Stefani . "They can't afford me," he joked. Adam went on to say that, in all seriousness, he would love to perform at their wedding , but he hadn't been formally asked yet. "It's so funny you mention them because I just texted them ten minutes ago just like, 'I miss you guys. I love you guys,'" Adam said. "They're the best, dude. I would love to. I'd be honored. They won't ask me though. They'll probably get like Luke Bryan or something."

NBC should make sure it has the infrastructure to support a serious influx in viewers, because Ariana Grande is joining The Voice as a coach next season, and you better believe Arianators are already buzzing about the announcement. The Grammy-winning superstar will be replacing Nick Jonas on the singing competition series for season 21, which will kick off later this year on Sept. 20. No, this isn't some sort of early April Fools' Day joke - it's the real deal, and we couldn't be more amped up.

Netflix has shared the first official trailer for its series based on Leigh Bardugo's bestselling Grishaverse fantasy novels , and if you had any reservations about the adaptation before, you'll be seeing the light now. Set in a war-torn world plagued by the Shadow Fold, an area of nearly impenetrable darkness that contains an array of horrors, the story follows a mapmaker who discovers she has a power that could be the key to setting her country free. In the trailer, Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li) - our orphan mapmaker - reveals a dormant power that unleashes a piercing light when her friend Malyen (Archie Renaux) is attacked during a journey across the Shadow Fold. Alina's taken to General Kirigan (Ben Barnes) , who promises her that they're going to "change the world" and trains her to become a member of her kingdom's militia of magical soldiers, who are known as Grisha. "There are no others like us, and there never will be," Kirigan adds omin
