Beyonce Will Reportedly Drop 'Renaissance' Concert Movie in December

Image
Beyoncé is said to be following Taylor Swift ‘s lead and is in talks to release Renaissance on the big screen via AMC Theaters, multiple outlets report. The Renaissance World Tour movie — which is likely to include scenes from her live shows, a look behind-the-scenes at making the tour and album as well as her some of her long-awaited visual components — is eyeing a December 1 release date, both Variety and Deadline report. The “Break My Soul” singer’s Renaissance World Tour began in May and has enjoyed a blockbuster run, selling out venues across Europe and the U.S., and is expected to end with box office receipts totaling more than $560 million. Several fans noted via social media that shows in Beyoncé’s hometown, Houston, seemed to be filmed. Beyoncé previously directed her Homecoming concert film in 2018 as well as visual albums for Lemonade (2016) and Black Is King (2020). Homecoming was the first of her three-film deal with Netflix. It isn’t clear if the Renaissance

Is Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman's 'May December' Movie Worth Seeing?

Image
May December, which opened the 61st annual New York Film Festival, earns 3 stars (out of 4) from Us Weekly movie critic Mara Reinstein. On the extremely soggy opening night of the 61st New York Film Festival, the artistic director took the stage at Lincoln Center and introduced May December with a declaration: This selection was the “funniest film” to ever kick off the famed event. He wasn’t necessarily wrong — previous opening night selections, after all, include Gone Girl , Captain Phillips and The Irishman . But May December is no mainstream comedy with a fun pop soundtrack and merchandise tie-ins. A riveting character study featuring Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman in showcasing performances, it explores complicated relationships using an off-kilter energy. And while laughs are sprinkled throughout, its sense of humor is nefarious to the core. Portman plays Elizabeth Berry, a popular Juilliard-trained actress who stars on a TV series called Norah’s Ark and is now researc

Walker Hayes. Mike Coppola/Getty Images Walker Hayes is proudly declaring his Swiftie status on his New Money EP. The eight-song record ends with a track titled, “ Taylor Swift ,” which chronicles his experience trying to secure tickets to the 33-year-old singer’s Eras Tour . “ Two Taylor Swift concert ticket stubs / Cost me more than my mortgage goes / And that was before T-shirts, cokes and popcorn /But, hey, I mean how many times does your little girl turn 9?” Hayes, 43, croons in the first verse. “ Dave Ramsey wouldn’t like it/ But it was priceless watchin’ her watch her hero, singin’ every single word to every song.” He continues: “In the nosebleeds, smilin’ like we have VIP passes on / So enchanted, ’til her bedtime struck like midnight and she yawned / And, climbed up in my arms, she was gone.” Related: Country Music’s Hottest Male Singers Get to know the megastars ruling the charts and the hearts of millions.

The ‘Suits’ Cast Still Has a Close Bond: Sweet Moments Over the Years

Image
The Suits cast had a tight-knit bond while they were filming the show — and some of the friendships even continued after the series ended in 2019 . Patrick J. Adams , for one, has consistently shown his love for former costar Meghan Markle . The duo played love interests Mike Ross and Rachel Zane on screen for years. When Markle faced bullying accusations from royal staffers in March 2021, Adams was quick to come to her defense . “Meghan Markle and I spent the better part of a decade working together on Suits ,” Adams shared via X (formerly Twitter) at the time. “From day one she was an enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, giving, joyful and supportive member of our television family. She remained that person and colleague as fame, prestige and power accrued.” He continued: “She has always been a powerful woman with a deep sense of morality and a fierce work ethic and has never been afraid to speak up, be heard and defend herself and those she holds dear.” Markle’s love for her Suit

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce by the Numbers: How Much Are They Worth?

Image
Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Getty Images(2) It’s safe to say Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce could afford to rent out (several) restaurants every day for the rest of their relationship … no matter how long they last. Swift and Kelce being a potential romantic match broke the internet in September when the Grammy winner accepted his invitation to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri. (Kelce had first publicly pursued Swift in July via his podcast, and a source later told Us Weekly that had “hung out” once before the game.) The idea of one of the biggest names in music and one of the most successful tight ends in NFL history linking up caused chaos across social media, with fans (and haters) debating who is more famous — and who has more money in the bank. “Boy math is being surprised that Taylor Swift’s net worth is 25x more than Travis Kelce,” one person tweeted . (In June, Forbes estimated that Swift was worth $740 million.)

Jackson Lee Davis/Netflix Kelsea Ballerini is not into the idea of joining the Pogues — sorry, Outer Banks fans. “His space is his space and mine is mine,” Ballerini, 30, told E! News at the People’s Country Choice Awards on Thursday, September 28, referring to boyfriend Chase Stokes . “And being able to show up and support each other just as partners is so beautiful.” An Outer Banks cameo might not be in the cards for Ballerini, but she’s not ruling out collaborating with boyfriend Stokes, 31, on some music. Jason Kempin/Getty Images “Never say never, I guess,” she said, when asked if a song collaboration was on the table to the couple.

The Cast of The CW's 'Life Unexpected': Where Are They Now?

Image
The CW’s  Life Unexpected  created a family on and off the screen. “I lived with Shiri [Appleby] while we were filming, so I got to know her really well and we bonded a lot, but Kris [Polaha] is like my big brother role model,” actress Britt Robertson , who starred as Lux, gushed to  Seventeen   in April 2010. Life Unexpected  debuted in January 2010 and followed teenager Lux as she sought emancipation from the Portland foster care system. Her path led her to discover the identity of her biological parents , Nate “Baze” Bazile (Polaha) and Cate Cassidy (Appleby), who had placed her in the system after a teen pregnancy and subsequent breakup. Instead of becoming emancipated, Lux was placed in their joint custody. The show was ultimately canceled following its second season. “I was totally surprised,” creator Liz Tigelaar told the  Los Angeles Times  in January 2011. “I always thought that we would keep going and I thought that we would get to our endgame, which is with Cate and

Kelsea Ballerini performs on stage during the 2023 People’s Choice Country Awards held at the Grand Ole Opry House on September 28, 2023. Allen Clark/NBC Kelsea Ballerini is clearing the air after being accused of lip-synching her performance at the 2023 People’s Country Awards . Ballerini, 30, belted out her hit “Mountain With a View” at the awards show , which was held at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry on Thursday, September 28. While many fans were quick to praise the heartfelt ballad, others claimed her vocals weren’t genuine. “I just wanna say, if I was lip-synching, I would’ve sounded a lot better,” Ballerini teased via her Instagram Story after the ceremony. “One of the cameras was off. Thank you and goodnight.” In a subsequent Story, Ballerini shared a snap of herself posing backstage and giving the camera a coy side-eye glance. “Me singing live watching other people thinking otherwise,” she captioned the unbothered pic.
