Watch Little Mix Turn Into Men Doppelgangers in Their New "Confetti" Video

Image
Little Mix have released a brand-new music video for their latest single, "Confetti," which sees Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards, and Jade Thirlwall transform into swanky men versions of themselves, and we have to say, the result is pretty impressive. The band members take on men alter egos, wearing chunky gold chains, fake tattoos, and hair pieces that'll genuinely have you questioning whether or not they could be real people. The "boys" are seen to mimic the dance moves in a way that gives us major Ciara "Like a Boy" vibes, and we're definitely here for it. The video marks Little Mix's first release since former band member Jesy Nelson officially announced that she was leaving . In a recent interview with Euphoria Magazine , Thirlwall talked about the transition since Nelson left the band. "It's still all systems go in Little Mix world," she said. "It's just learning to adapt. I think it's quite exciting....

Every Major Milestone From Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund's Whirlwind Romance

Image
Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund haven't been together for long - two years to be exact - but they've already celebrated almost every major relationship milestone, including having a baby! The couple met in March 2019 and have been attached at the hip since. In summer of 2020, we learned that Roberts was expecting a baby boy with her boyfriend, making them both first-time parents. There's been no talk of a diamond ring or wedding planning (they also have their hands pretty full at the moment raising a newborn), but what we do know about these lovebirds is that they're long-term relationship type of people, so we bet an engagement isn't too, too far away. Learn all about Roberts and Hedlund's love story ahead. from POPSUGAR Celebrity https://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/emma-roberts-garrett-hedlund-relationship-timeline-48293005

Michaela Coel Supports "20 Brave Women Who Have Come Forward" After Noel Clarke Allegations

Image
On April 29, actor and director Noel Clarke was suspended from BAFTA following allegations of sexual harassment . As reported by The Guardian , 20 women, "all of whom knew Clarke in a professional capacity," have spoken with the publication about allegations of "sexual harassment, unwanted touching or groping, sexually inappropriate behaviour and comments on set, professional misconduct, taking and sharing sexually explicit pictures and videos without consent, and bullying between 2004 and 2019." Following the release of the article, I May Destroy You creator and actor Michaela Coel shared it on Twitter and posted a statement in solidarity of the 20 women who have come forward. "I am here to offer great support for the 20 brave women who have come forward; those who have shared their identities with us, but also those who have preferred to use an alias; the mental hurdles a black woman must overcome to do such a thing as reveal their identity within a narrat...

Image
Sam Wilson finally stepped into his role as Captain America , and Marvel comic book fans aren't the only ones celebrating this historic moment in superhero history. During an interview with Trevor Noah for The Daily Show on April 29, Anthony Mackie discussed the exciting, and long-awaited, milestone in Marvel history. "It [took] an amazing group of people from different perspectives and different backgrounds to be able to make it a realistic situation for the character and not something that was made up or fictitious when put on the screen," Mackie told Noah, crediting screenwriter Malcolm Spellman for helping craft Wilson's character on screen. "He really went down that road and fought for the acknowledgment of that turbulent relationship between Black men and America ," Mackie said. "As a Black man, you're in an abusive relationship with America. So how do you fight for, stand up and risk your life for a country that has never given you any lo...

Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, and a Bestselling Author Are Making This Thriller Into a Show

Image

The Most Notable Moments in LaKeith Stanfield and Xosha Roquemore's Sweet Romance

Image
LaKeith Stanfield and Xosha Roquemore are two Hollywood names you've probably heard of, and they've been linked since 2015 - as far as we're aware of, anyway! Stanfield is known for his parts in Atlanta , Get Out , and Sorry to Bother You , while Roquemore is known for her roles in The Mindy Project and Ava DuVernay 's Cherish the Day . The truth of the matter is that we don't really know much about the couple - or if they're still together. As both are established celebrities, they've remained understandably tight-lipped about their private lives. In 2017, they welcomed a daughter, whom Roquemore occasionally mentions on her Twitter account . Given their red carpet appearances and clues on their social media history, we've compiled a timeline of Stanfield and Roquemore's relationship over the years. from POPSUGAR Celebrity https://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/lakeith-stanfield-xosha-roquemore-relationship-timeline-48296240

The Mysterious First Teaser For the Dexter Revival Has Us Ready For Fall

Image
Michael C. Hall signed on for a revival of his most infamous role as Dexter Morgan for a limited series , and fans are rejoicing. The reboot will be on Showtime with a total of 10 episodes, and the show creators have already talked about making amends for the pitfalls of the series finale . But what we really want to know about the blood splatter analyst by day and a vigilante-style serial killer by night is: when will the series be available? Happily, the series is set to release in fall of 2021 . On April 29, Showtime teased the upcoming project with a mysterious teaser titled "Misunderstood" which features Hall's Dexter in a cabin in the woods and giving a sly smile to the camera. Oh yeah, and there's someone wrapped up in plastic in the background. The original series ran from 2006 to 2013 for a total of eight seasons. While the showrunners remain elusive about the content and plot of the limited series, they claim that it will not just pick back up where the ...

Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem Get Into Character on Set of Being the Ricardos Film

Image
Filming for Being the Ricardos is currently underway, and we've already gotten a few glimpses of Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem as Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. On Tuesday, the stars were spotted on the set of Aaron Sorkin's upcoming film. Kidman certainly channeled the I Love Lucy actress with a bright red wig and pencil-thin eyebrows, while Bardem looked sharp in a black and white tux. The upcoming biopic will tell the story of Lucille Ball and her husband, Desi Arnaz as they filmed their hit 1951 sitcom I Love Lucy . Though Kidman's casting was initially met with skepticism from fans, Ball and Arnaz's daughter, Lucie Arnaz, eventually gave the casting her seal of approval . "Nobody has to impersonate Lucy Ricardo nor do the Vitameatavegamin routine, or . . . any of the silly things. It's the story of Lucille Ball, my actual mother, not Lucy Ricardo, and her husband, Desi Arnaz, my dad, not Ricky Ricardo," she noted. "Aaron has done a wonder...

The HSMTMTS Season 2 Soundtrack Has an Adorable Joshua Bassett and Olivia Rodrigo Duet

Image
High School Musical: The Musical: The Series season two hasn't even been released yet, and I'm already obsessed with the soundtrack. If you thought the Disney+ series couldn't possibly top the first season, think again. While season one included bops like "All I Want" by Olivia Rodrigo and covers of our favorite High School Musical songs , the second season is going above and beyond. Seeing that the students of East High are putting on a production of Beauty and the Beast , we'll likely get performances of iconic songs from the Disney film, but there are also a few original tracks in store. We got a glimpse of the opening number, "Something in the Air," during the holiday special, and now we have a sneak peek of an adorable duet between Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett's characters, Nini and Ricky. Plus, the singer-songwriters wrote even more new tracks for the show this season. An acoustic version of Bassett's "The Perfect Gift" w...

Watch Cruel Summer Stars Olivia Holt and Chiara Aurelia Play "Who's Most Likely To"

Image
Freeform is at it once again with a brand-new addicting series, the psychological thriller Cruel Summer . Set over the course of three years - the summers of 1993, 1994, and 1995 - the series follows high schoolers Kate Wallis ( Olivia Holt ) and Jeanette Turner (Chiara Aurelia) as Kate goes missing and the world accuses Jeanette of being involved in her disappearance. Just three episodes in, our brains have racked up so many different theories that we need a notebook just to keep track of them all. Ahead of the series premiere, we chatted with the stars of the show over Zoom to get to know the cast better with a game of "Who's Most Likely To." The duo revealed everything from the biggest goofball on set . . . . . . to the person most likely to appear on Broadway one day.

Olivia Rodrigo's "Deja Vu" Has Been Turned Into a TikTok Challenge, and It's Trippy

Image
Olivia Rodrigo has been blessing us with bops this year , so it was only a matter of time before one of her songs got turned into a TikTok challenge. Just like the " Deja Vu " music video shows Olivia dressing up in similar outfits as Talia Ryder, the TikTok challenge allows users to create a similar trippy effect on camera. Using TikTok's inverted filter, people are able to make it appear like they're jumping back and forth in the shot. While some people have done the filter solo to show how asymmetrical their faces are, most users have done the challenge with a friend for extra visual effect. Lizzo completed the challenge with her mom, which had an adorable result, and Olivia did the challenge with singer Tate McRae. See a handful of TikTok videos of the challenge, and then try it out for yourself.

Image
Adam Levine and Blake Shelton's hilarious friendship is the gift that keeps on giving. During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show , the Maroon 5 frontman poked fun at his former The Voice costar when the topic of Blake and Gwen Stefani's wedding came up. After previously talking about the possibility of performing at their wedding , Adam teased that he doesn't support their marriage: "She's so cool, and he's not."

OK, friends, we need to talk. In case you've missed it: Zoë Kravitz has sparked relationship rumors with Jonah Hill , Taylour Paige, and Taylor Swift this year - not because of being spotted on dates or showing PDA, but just for being around each other and on each other's Instagrams. Say it with me, folks: being in the same frame of a picture does not a romance make! Here's a fun experiment: go scroll through your own Instagram history (preferably pre-2020, because . . . 2020). How many people did you appear in pictures with? How many of them were you dating? Chances are, we've all been in a lot of pictures - yes, even in the carefully curated land of Instagram - with people who are not our significant others and are, in fact, just friends, colleagues, acquaintances, and so on.

Elliot Page Discusses Using His Platform and Privilege to Uplift the Transgender Community

Elliot Page is sitting down with Oprah Winfrey for his first television interview since coming out as transgender . In a sneak peek of the upcoming episode of The Oprah Conversation , which airs in full on April 30 on Apple TV+, Elliot discusses the moments leading up to publicly sharing his identity as a transgender man on Instagram. "I was expressing this to people in my life much before posting that letter," he told Oprah. "Telling people for the first time, knowing I wanted a moment, of course, to become comfortable in myself and to be able to get to that point." After dealing with his own mental health issues as a result of being "closeted so long," Elliot said it was especially important for him to come out to potentially help other people in the transgender community.

Image Source: Getty / Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin Get excited, Upper East Siders, because the Gossip Girl reboot will be here before you know it. After kicking off filming in New York City in November 2020, HBO Max confirmed in a video showcasing their upcoming titles that the new series will premiere in 2021. The video includes a short clip of the new stars sitting on the steps of the Met (fast-forward to the :37 mark).

How HBO Max's Gossip Girl Reboot Is Fixing the Shortcomings of the Original

Image
With each new detail we learn about the Gossip Girl reboot, we become even more intrigued. While the original series - which ran on The CW from 2007 to 2012 - has become a cult favorite as far as teen dramas go, it also had its shortcomings, including the lack of diversity within its main stars. As HBO Max gears up to introduce us to the next generation of Manhattan's elite, it seems like they are taking a cue from the original to ensure that the new series pays tribute but also is current and representative of society today. Though details about the project have been few and far between - save for a few paparazzi photos from filming and some brief, albeit incredibly mysterious descriptions of the characters - Cosmopolitan 's cover story with the stars for their May/June issue offers a little more light. And as an OG Gossip Girl stan, I must say, I'm super excited for what's in store. If you're curious about how the reboot will compare to the original, read...
