Porsha Williams gave some insight on The Real Housewives of Atlanta into when she found out her cousin, Londie Favors, had died.

On the episode from Sunday, June 29, Williams shared with co-star Phaedra Parks that Favors was on the phone with her sister Lauren when she died.

“Dealing with he loss of my cousin Londie… I’m going through a lot emotionally while being there for my family. She meant so much to all of us. So it’s pretty difficult,” Williams said in a confessional.

In the scene at Parks’ house, Lauren said, “I’m just numb. We’re like sisters. We grew up… we were babies together.”

“So you know they were on the phone,” Williams told Parks.

“She actually transionted while you were on the phone?” Parks asked Lauren.

“Yeah,” Lauren said.

In a confessional, Williams revealed, “I was at work and I got some news that...

Nearly one out of 10 households with a smart TV or streaming media device have purchased a physical good through a connected TV (CTV) platform within the past 30 days, according to a new report released on Thursday.

The report, from Parks Associates and tech research firm Adeia, said digital goods and subscriptions are still the dominant transactions taking place on CTV platforms today, with one-quarter of consumers making a digital purchase using their remotes or voice within the past month.

Consumers are growing more comfortable purchasing physical goods through their TVs, too, with around 7.5 million households making a purchase for a physical item through a CTV experience in recent weeks, Parks reported.

“For advertisers, this transforms passive viewing into an interactive, shoppable experience that directly connects content to commerce — an opportunity that can dramatically improve return on ad spend by driving higher engagement, accurate attribution,...

The Rhoa Season 16 reunion was filmed on June 5, and it was revealed that Brit Eady and Kenya Moore would not be attending. Moore not appearing at the reunion was no surprise, as she was cut from the series early into filming. However, Eady’s not showing up to the reunion was shocking as she played an integral part in the season.

On the day of filming,...

The latest episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta addresses Londie Favors’ death and pays homage to Porsha Williams’ late cousin.

In August 2024, Williams confirmed that her cousin Yolanda “Londie” Favors had died at the age of 34. The Bravo reality series was filming Season 16, and Williams skipped out on attending an event with her fellow co-star Phaedra Parks, which she organized as she mourned her cousin’s death.

On Rhoa’s latest episode, which aired on Sunday, June 22, Williams called Parks to tell her why she wouldn’t be there.

“It just was so sudden — so difficult,” Williams says during a confessional. “Londie was just the most giving person you could ever think of. [She was] a loyal person, the most creative with her company. She did so much for my grandfather’s foundation. The most honest person you can ever think of. It’s just a huge loss.”

Brit Eady is a cast member from The Real Housewives of Atlanta (Rhoa) who joined the show in Season 16, which aired in 2025. She is a 37-year-old entrepreneur and insurance agent from Georgia.

Brit joined Rhoa in Season 16, bringing a fresh perspective to the show. However, her time on the show has been marked by controversy. This included a significant legal battle over a sexually explicit photo shown during an episode.

Brit Eady is well known for her assertive presence and efforts to hold those involved accountable for the scandal. She also chose to skip the Rhoa reunion, citing ongoing conflicts with fellow cast members.

Who is Brit Eady, and what did she say about the leaked picture?

Originally from Roswell, Georgia, Brit began her career in high school as a model, featuring in music videos, commercials, and films. However, after the sudden death of her father in 2015, she shifted her focus to entrepreneurship.

Phaedra Parks is a reality queen but that doesn't mean she is heading to the Married to Medicine reunion. The reunion for Season 11 was filmed in New York City and the seating chart had Dr. Jackie Walters and Dr. Simone Whitmore next to Andy Cohen with Dr. Heavenly Kimes next to Quad Webb and Walters on one couch and Lateasha "Sweet Tea" Lunceford, Toya Bush-Harris, and Dr. Contessa Metcalfe on Whitmore's couch. Noticeably absent from the seating chart is Parks, who will seemingly not be a part of the reunion special.

Expect to see many familiar DC faces in the Superman & Lois series finale for the final season of The CW drama. After a very long hiatus, Superman & Lois season 4 has finally kicked off the beginning of the end for the DC TV show. Thanks to budget restrictions, a lot of changes had to happen behind the scenes, including a significant change to Superman & Lois season 4, with multiple long-time main cast members being cut and brought back for a limited number of episodes.

After he didn't turn up in the season's first episodes, ScreenRant recently chatted with Wol Parks for The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 and got some intriguing tidbits about when Superman & Lois' John Henry Irons, a.k.a. Steel, will be back for the final season. Not only will Steel be back in Superman & Lois season 4 episode 3, airing Monday, October 14, but Parks also shared that the...

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke previously divulged the origins of the track. The song was “the product of a joke that wasn’t really a joke, a very lonely, drunken evening and, well, a breakdown of sorts,” he said, per Far Out Magazine,...

Once more for the people in the back: way to go, you!

Your votes — however many you decided to register on Sept. 24– helped Dancing with the Stars to hit a major milestone. More than 14 million votes were tabulated that night, the most received on a single episode in series history! Either that means you really love you some Ilona Maher or you would have done whatever it took to make sure Anna Delvey was given her walking papers.

And get this: it didn’t stop there. A whopping 15 million voted on hair metal night! It had to be all the bag wigs and the presence of special guest judge-cum-world renowned ballroom expert Gene Simmons, right? Clearly, DWTS fans are clearly more engaged than ever, which is a good sign for ABC. That means we’ll have TV’s best variety show for years to come!

Let’s get to it!

Aubrey Plaza is one of the highlights of Francis Ford Coppolas Megalopolis, but she has a starring role in another new movie thats an even better showcase of her acting talents. Although Megalopolis has received extremely mixed reviews from critics, Plazas performance is one of the few bright spots that has been praised across the board. Plaza stars alongside Adam Driver and Giancarlo Esposito in the supporting role of Wow Platinum, and her performance is just as memorable and unconventional as her characters name.

Wow is an insatiable TV personality who delivers the financial news and, ironically, has an unquenchable thirst for money and power. Shes a quintessential femme fatale with a Lady Macbeth-esque arc in which she seduces whoever she thinks will bring her the most wealth and influence, then casts them aside as soon as theyve served their purpose. Plaza is the unpredictable wildcard of the Megalopolis cast,...

Here’s what we know so far: Anna Delvey couldn’t be found after night one of Dancing with the Stars because she was off crying in the bathroom. Apparently, the infamous subject of Netflix’s Inventing Anna read some negative comments online about her opening night cha cha and she just couldn’t take the pressure.

“I know what she did was really controversial and not right and I can never justify that for her or for anyone in her life,” Sosa said in a video posted on his Instagram. “No one deserves the amount of hate she’s getting right now. She deserves a second chance. She has stepped up to the plate.”

Okay, two things: no one twisted Delvey’s bedazzled ankle, I mean arm, to participate in the last great variety show on television. And two, she...

The DWTS Season 33 premiere is less than a week away. At this point in the competition, the pro dancers and their celebrity partners are putting the finishing touches on their routines. It’s their first chance to meet America and prove they deserve to stay in the competition for another week.

So what kind of routines can fans look forward to this year?

The DWTS Season 33 Cast Comes With A Wide Range Of Contestants

This year’s cast has been pretty controversial. Con artist Anna Delvey is competing with first-year pro Ezra Sosa. While Dancing With The Stars fans widely love Ezra, many aren’t at all excited to see Delvey compete.

On top of that, there are two members of Bachelor Nation competing this year, as well as multiple athletes. The 2024 Paris Olympics featured many talented athletes waiting to receive an invite for DWTS.

Jujutsu Kaisens 2nd season director, Shota Goshozono, has just confirmed that he plans to return for the highly anticipated Season 3 at Anime Expo 2024. Jjk Season 2 ended with a bang. Not only were fans left mourning their favorite characters, but the Shibuya Incident Arc closed out the season with multiple cliffhangers, forcing fans to wait patiently for Season 3 to discover where JJKs unidentified author, Gege Akutamis, story leads next.

After the explosive success of Jujutsu Kaisens first season, Ryu Nakayama and Sunghoo Park, the seasons directors, unexpectedly announced they were leaving the project to begin their own animation studio. Some anime fans may be confused...

Porsha Williams addresses rumors that Phaedra Parks is negotiating her return to The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

In an Instagram livestream, Williams urged fans to call on Bravo to give Parks her peach back.

“We are working… I’m working… I really want Phaedra to find her way back home,” Williams shared after fans asked about rumors Parks was returning.

Parks is a veteran of Rhoa, joining the show in Season 3. The reality TV personality left the series after Season 9 but would return to Bravo in Season 10 of Married to Medicine. Back in the Bravo mix, Parks gained even more popularity after starring in Season 2 of The Traitors, reminding viewers of her epic reads and shade-throwing.

After Kenya Moore exited Rhoa Season 16, Parks was a name that fans threw out there to join the cast.

Parks and Williams were recently featured in the Watch What Happens Live 15th Anniversary special,...

The Season 2 cast of “The Traitors” is excited for the next season. Just one day after the new group of reality stars was announced, multiple Season 2 cast members gathered for Variety‘s TV FYC Fest in Los Angeles.

During a “Meet the Makers” panel for the Peacock series, Dan Gheesling, Kate Chastain, Parvati Shallow, Phaedra Parks and winner Trishelle Cannatella reflected on their experience — and commented on the Season 3 cast.

Parks was very excited about “Housewives” stars Dorinda Medley and Dolores Catania, while Shallow and Gheesling can’t wait to see the “Survivor” legends compete.

“We’re really super close in real life, so I’ve had numerous conversations about joining the game,” Parks said about Medley. “And I love Dolores. We talk quite a bit too, so I said, ‘Don’t be a Housewife, but be a housewife.'”

It wasn’t surprising that Shallow and Gheesling, who love to compete,...

Rushed final episodes of "Queen of Tears" dull the incredible moments built up throughout the series. 16-episode format hindered the finale's impact, suggesting a 20-episode structure would have been more suitable. Pacing issues in the finale of "Queen of Tears" detracted from the emotional impact of the final moments.

Despite an incredible lead-up to the last two episodes, Queen of Tears finale could not maintain its momentum. The final episodes of Queen of Tears saw the conclusion of Hong Hae-in and Baek Hyun-woos turbulent love story, which led them from marriage to divorce and back again and gave fans the happy ending that, for a long time, never felt possible. However, despite Queen of Tears ending being a great homage to Hae-in and Hyun-woos love, the lead-up to their final moments had one major flaw.

The alternate reality "Captain Luthor" really being John Henry Irons was a huge twist in Superman & Lois' first season. The character, played by Wolé Parks, has had a recurring presence in the series ever since and donned an impressive suit of armour on several occasions.

He's even earned himself the "Man of Steel" moniker, but a newly revealed photo from Superman & Lois' series finale seemingly confirms John will finally suit up as Steel.

As you'll see in the photo below, graffiti depicts Irons in his trademark armour, albeit with a red cape and Superman's iconic "S" shield on his chest. While this could be little more than an Easter Egg, season 4 may see him finally take on that iconic "Steel" moniker as another of Metropolis' protectors.

Parks was among the actors who were let go from Superman & Lois amid budget cuts, though many of those previously recurring cast members are...

Directed by Jeff Fisher and written by Chris Sivertson, The Image of You is based on the novel of the same name by British author Adele Parks. It stars Pretty Little Liars alum Sasha Pieterse and Arrow star Parker Young

Identical twins Anna and Zoe (played by Pieterse) share a bond so close that nothing can tear them apart. But while Anna is romantic, naive and very trustoing, Zoe is outrageously outspoken and dangerous. When Anna meets an ambitious stock trader Nick, Zoe who has seen her sister Anna betrayed by men before, is determined to find who Nick really is and discover the truth about him.

HeyUGuys spoke to Parks about her involvement in developing this thriller alongside director Jeff Fisher. Meanwhile, Pieterse spoke about the complications that come from playing two different characters and knowing when to jump from one to the other.

You may know her best as the infamous Alison from Freeform's hit series Pretty Little Liars. Now, Sasha Pieterse is starring in yet another juicy leading role, but this time on the big screen. The Image of You is out this week and is based on the international best-selling novel by Adele Parks MBE. We recently caught up with both Pieterse and Parks in a paired interview to learn more about the feature film adaptation that will surely turn heads up for more reasons than one.

For starters, Pieterse is playing not one, but two roles: twin sisters Zoe and Anna, as a twisted love triangle with a handsome lad named Nick (Parker Young) quickly develops following an online dating connection. To ruin any surprises here would be cruel and unusual.

Tae-sang and Young-joon were famous bachelors, but for different reasons. Young-joon's narcissism stemmed from self-love, while Tae-sang's had to do his desire to survive no matter what. Season 2 of Gyeongseong Creature may see Park Seo-joon play a new character now that the show is set in 2024.

Park Seo-joons Gyeongseong Creature character, Yang Tae-sang, is the perfect callback to one of the actor's most famous K-drama roles. Between shows and movies, Park Seo-joons career includes lots of critically acclaimed work and popular hits. He currently stars in Gyeongseong Creature as Tae-sang, the charming owner of a pawn shop whose life changes forever after he starts investigating the disappearance of a woman in Gyeoseong during the last days of World War II. Gyeongseong Creature was Park Seo-joons first-period piece, although the upcoming season 2 will take place in 2024.

Having appeared in some of the best K-dramas of his generation, Park Seo-joon already has...

Given the NewImages Festival’s remit to welcome diverse artistic voices into the immersive space, programing “Noire” was an obvious choice. An augmented reality adaptation of a lesser-known case from the Civil Rights era, “Noire” brought much pedigree to this year’s Paris Xr showcase.

The project tracks the true story of Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in the segregated South who refused to give up her seat on the bus nine months before Rosa Parks did the same. Colvin’s act helped kick off the Montgomery bus boycott, but her courage never quite got the same traction as that of Parks – in part because she didn’t make for as compelling a media figure.

Ironically, that’s exactly what compelled French author Tania de Montaigne, who sought to explore that era – and its wider questions of racism and resistance – using figures untouched by hagiography. The author’s 2015 biographical essay...

Phaedra Parks Making A Return To Rhoa?

She was joined by Eva Marcille, also from Rhoa as well as Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson, Brandi Glanville, Taylor Armstrong, Jill Zarin, and hostess, Dorinda Medley. Fans were so happy to see a fun and lighthearted side to Phaedra and hoped she would return to their Bravo screens. She did in Season 10 of Married to Medicine as well as another edition of the Rhugt. Sadly, that may never air due to issues between Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville.

Global Citizen Festival will host its 12th annual free concert on September 28, 2024, the advocacy organization has announced. The event will be hosted at the Great Lawn in Central Park, which was recently restored to address damage sustained during last year‘s rainy festival.

Married To Medicine Fans Question Phaedra Parks’ Part On Show

Phaedra Parks has primarily been known as a housewife, stirring the pot from Season 3 through Season 9 on Rhoa. She was a lawyer turned mortician who had two children with her now ex-husband, Apollo Nida. However, the real drama came when she was accused of spreading rumors about Kandi Burruss and her husband, Todd Tucker. Apparently, they intended to drug co-star, Porsha Williams only to take advantage of her. That caused Phaedra to be let go from the series but it may have all been a setup.

Married To Medicine Fans Question Phaedra’s Value

Phaedra Parks is best known for her time on Rhoa. She then appeared on the second season of Rhugt which took place in the Berkshires. Viewers who had not seen her in some time really took to the mother of two. More than that, they had a new appreciation for her as she seemed to have softened some. Plus, her personality was fun and sparkly. This caused her to join Season 4 of Rhugt, taking place in Morocco. Unfortunately, due to the drama between Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville, it may never air. Then, she was cast for...

Andy Cohen is spilling the tea on The Traitors Season 2 reunion, which was filmed last week.

The Watch What Happens Live host took to his SiriusXM show to share details about what fans of the Peacock competition series could expect when the cast reunites to talk game.

Cohen said on his radio show that “both the epic [Season 2] finale and dramatic reunion” of The Traitors would be available to stream on Peacock on Thursday at 9 p.m. Et. The host said the finale would be “a little over an hour” and noted that “it is all drama.”

“And then you are going to go straight into the reunion,” Cohen said. “So, talk about a satisfying night of television.”

Cohen teased, “At the reunion taping, we began the reunion with all of the Faithfuls out there and the Traitors that were no longer in the show,” and hadn’t seen the finale.

Nelson Peltz’s Trian Partners, which is agitating to get two seats on Disney’s board, on Monday released a lengthy white paper analyzing the Mouse House’s financial performance — and suggesting strategic fixes.

The recommendations, according to Trian, are aimed at turning around Disney’s total shareholder returns, which have trailed most of its peers (except Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Global), according to the white paper. Trian is urging Disney shareholders to vote for its two board nominees — Peltz and ex-Disney CFO Jay Rasulo — at the company’s April 3 shareholder meeting. Disney opposes the candidates put forward by Trian and another activist firm, Blackwells, as lacking “the appropriate range of talent, skill, perspective and/or expertise.”

“For more than a year, Trian has described its thoughts on strategies and goals, some of which Disney has now implemented, such as reducing excess costs, reinstating a dividend, and making the...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers from “The Weight of Deceit,” the tenth episode of “The Traitors” Season 2, now streaming on Peacock.

The tenth episode of “The Traitors” revealed that while the group was inching closer to identifying Phaedra Parks as a traitor — the last original one — they decided to turn against Peter Weber and banish him instead. Luckily for them, they did not make the same mistake again and sent her home at the end of the episode.

However, when Weber, possibly the best strategic player of the season, was banished, it’s hard to believe that he wouldn’t be screaming with both frustration and joy when learning that Parks has been a traitor all along. But he wasn’t told right away. In fact, he didn’t find out for quite some time, executive producer Mike Cotton tells Variety.

“We don’t tell them. They find out...

Bong Joon-ho’s masterful Academy Award winner, Parasite, is a brutal satire about wealth disparity and the lengths we're willing to go to for family. One of only three movies to win both the Best Picture Oscar and the Palme d'Or, Parasite shifts from a biting dramedy to a suspenseful thriller in its second act, proving Joon-ho's affinity for humor, horror, and everything in between. Set in Seoul, South Korea, the movie follows the Kim family, who work low-income jobs and struggle to make ends meet. When son Ki-Woo (Choi Woo-shik) secures a gig tutoring the wealthy Park family's young daughter (Jung Ji-so), the Kims slowly begin to infiltrate the home, enjoying the unfamiliar luxuries afforded to the Parks. However, when the Parks' idyllic lifestyle proves to house a disturbing secret, chaos and bloodshed ensue, and we're left wondering who the parasites really are. So, how does Parasite end, and what does it mean?...

Following the murder of Carsten “Bergie” Bergersen and the banishment of Parvati Shallow, only 10 players remained in the running to win the second season of “The Traitors.” Last week, the sole remaining traitor, Phaedra Parks, was given the option of recruiting a faithful to her evil side and she chose Kate Chastain … but what was Kate’s decision tonight?

Below, read our minute-by-minute “The Traitors” Season 2, Episode 9 recap/live blog of “A Game of Death” to find out what happened Thursday, February 22, 2024. Then be sure to sound off in the comments section about your favorite contestants on Peacock’s reality TV show, who annoys you the most and who you think will ultimately take home a cash prize of up to $250,000. Alan Cumming hosts the program. Watch Gold Derby’s mid-Season 2 review slugfest video.

Here are the cast members still in the game:

Faithfuls:

Chris “C.

The Traitors 2 winner will soon be revealed on Peacock.

Carsten “Bergie” Bergersen from Love Island USA was Murdered during the most recent episode, and Parvati Shallow from Survivor was Banished.

Only 10 people remain in the game, which seems high since only two episodes remain.

The ninth episode of The Traitors 2 arrives on February 22, and the season finale debuts on February 29.

Adding Kate Chastain from Below Deck helped increase the level of drama, and Phadea Parks from The Real Housewives of Atlanta/Married to Medicine just asked Kate to become a Traitor.

If Kate turns down the offer, she is eliminated from the game, making her the latest victim to be Murdered by a Traitor.

The Traitors 2 can have more than one winner

As a reminder, The Traitors is a show that can yield multiple winners. If the Faithfuls make it to the end and have eliminated all Traitors, they split the prize money.

Parks and Recreation season 1 was the weakest due to its flawed tone, causing viewers to disconnect. Leslie Knope's constant criticism in season 1 made it hard to root for her, resulting in a boring plot. The tonal change in season 2 saved the show and allowed audiences to invest in the likable and down-to-earth characters.

Parks and Recreation season 1 struggled to gain its footing, but the second season succeeded by abandoning the original tone. From 2009 to 2015, the mockumentary Parks and Recreation aired on NBC, following the story of Leslie Knope and the rest of the Parks Department in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana. The series became a classic, iconic sitcom with a large fanbase. Between Parks and Recreation’s amazing quotes, vivid characters, and upbeat mood, it’s no surprise that viewers flocked to this show.

The series became so beloved that it won the Television Critics Association Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy in 2013. Additionally,...

Despite grossing a paltry $25.4 million at the box office on a budget of around $60 million, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s 2007 love letter to exploitation cinema has managed to spawn four spin-off movies — Machete, Machete Kills, Hobo with a Shotgun, and now Thanksgiving— in addition to reintroducing a vintage aesthetic that has been mimicked by countless other throwback movies.

Rodriguez’s Planet Terror and Tarantino’s Death Proof each have their merits — the former plays like a satirical pastiche of nonstop action, while the latter is more indicative of genuine exploitation fare — but Grindhouse is more than just a double feature. It’s an experience, complete with faux aging to recreate the look of beat-up film prints along with vintage interstitials and retro-inspired trailers for nonexistent movies.

Planet Terror is the first part of the double bill,...

Before he became the frontman of Tool, singer Maynard James Keenan served in the US Army.

After enlisting in 1982, Keenan did his basic training in Oklahoma, and during his time at Fort Still, he roomed with one Jeff Parks. Keenan would eventually move on to be stationed in Kansas, and the two would fall out of touch as the decades passed.

As a birthday wish this past April, Maynard asked for help in finding his long-lost roommate, and after 40 years, the two were finally reunited face-to-face. The singer shared the heartfelt story on Instagram for Veterans Day this past Saturday (November 11th).

“For my Birthday this past April, I asked for assistance in tracking down my roommate from the Army,” wrote Maynard. “You all came through. Finally got to see him face to face 40 years later. Thank you for your service, Jeffrey.”

In an accompanying photo gallery, Keenan shared photos of the reunion,...

Beginning the second season with a nerve-wracking scenario of Maddie’s abduction, Bosch: Legacy quickly moved on to new situations involving Harry and Chandler, where their professional lives came into jeopardy. The first four episodes build up the central narrative smoothly, and there are three distinct plotlines to follow that occasionally mingle with each other. One of Chandler’s former clients, David Foster, was framed for the sexual assault and murder of City Hall employee Lexi Parks, and to prove his innocence, the senior lawyer had assigned Harry to the case. After being rescued from the clutches of her captor, serial rapist Kurt Dockweiler, Maddie re-joined the LAPD, and due to her proficiency, she was quickly recruited into the Cru unit. However, her experience as a victim made it hard for her to move on, and she has been plagued by anxiety and fear of similar situations taking place in the near future as well.

Actor best known for his portrayal of a suave, uncompromising private detective in the title role of Shaft

For the opening scene of Shaft – the 1971 film that helped inaugurate the “blaxploitation” genre and spawned an Oscar-winning song in Isaac Hayes’s call-and-response classic Theme from Shaft – the director Gordon Parks mapped out to the actor Richard Roundtree exactly what would happen.

Roundtree – playing the New York detective John Shaft who “won’t cop out when there’s danger all about” as the song puts it – was to stride out of the subway near Times Square, tracked by assorted cameras positioned opposite him and at high angles. “I want you to walk across 42nd Street,” Parks said. “And I want you to own it.”...

Richard Roundtree, the ultracool actor who helped open the door to a generation of Black filmmakers and performers with his portrayal of private eye John Shaft, “the cat that won’t cop out when there’s danger all about,” died Tuesday. He was 81.

Roundtree died at his home in Los Angeles of pancreatic cancer, his manager, Patrick McMinn, told The Hollywood Reporter.

He was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993 and had a double mastectomy. “Breast cancer is not gender specific,” he said four years later. “And men have this cavalier attitude about health issues. I got such positive feedback because I spoke out about it, and it’s been quite a number of years now. I’m a survivor.”

Roundtree also portrayed the title character opposite Peter O’Toole as Robinson Crusoe in Man Friday, was featured as an army sergeant opposite Laurence Olivier as Gen. Douglas MacArthur in the Korean...

Arlo Parks was the latest musical guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday night, during which she performed “Weightless,” a track from the singer-songwriter’s most recent album, My Soft Machine. Watch the full performance below.

Clearly enjoying the opportunity to appear on late night, Parks had a smile on her face during the entire performance. Bathed in soft purple and blue light, the CoSign alum’s calming vocals effortlessly floated atop her backing band’s dual synths. There was nothing but good vibes despite lovelorn lyrics like, “I don’t wanna wait for you/ But I need you, so I won’t go.”

My Soft Machine follows Parks’ impressive 2021 debut, Collapsed in Sunbeams, which ranked among our Top Albums of 2021. Early next year, Parks will head back out on a North American tour in support of My Soft Machine, and you can grab tickets here. She...
