Sza knows how to make an entrance. She had the world fiending so hard for her new Lana — first she announced the album drop for Friday at midnight, then kept everyone chewing our fingernails while she took an extra 15 hours to give it the right finishing touches. But it was worth it. Lana arrives just in time to tie a bow around the music year, just like her epochal blockbuster Sos did two Decembers ago. It’s officially part of the deluxe edition “reissue” of Sos, but it stands on its own,...

Yellowjackets co-creator Ashley Lyle teases season 3's wilderness timeline ahead of the new season's arrival on Febrauary 14, 2025. The end of Yellowjackets season 2 sees teen Natalie (Sophie Thatcher) being crowned as the Antler Queen after Jarvi's death, which is what Shauna (Sophie Nelisse) has been wanting since season 1. In the present timeline, adult Natalie (Juliette Lewis) exits the show in a tragic turn of events, leaving the rest of the survivors with a mess to clean.

Lyle shed some light on season 3's wilderness timeline and how Natalie's Antler Queen position would affect the group in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. The show co-creator revealed that season 3 will see "a continuation of some of the tensions and resentments in season 2." With season 2 entering the cannibalistic stage in the Yellowjackets soccer team's survival story, Lyle warns fans to "buckle up" because "the cannibalism cat is out of the bag." Check out what...

Teenage dramas have existed for as long as teens have been drumming up drama in schools and colleges. In the ’60s, there were Because They’re Young and Where the Boys Are. The ‘70s had American Graffiti, Grease, and Saturday Night Fever. The genre exploded in the ‘80s with movies like Dead Poets Society, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. And the ‘90s gave us The Basketball Diaries, Rushmore, 10 Things I Hate About You, and American Pie. But I think the movie that paved the way for stuff like Gossip Girl, Young Royals, 13 Reasons Why, Elite, Class, Euphoria, Maxton Hall, Hierarchy, and Untamed Royals was the cult classic, Cruel Intentions. It had adult actors playing high schoolers. It was filled to the brim with the risque stuff. And there was a lot of backstabbing and drugs involved. Since this particular subgenre of teen dramas is all the rage now,...

Gossip Girl is one of the most iconic TV series from the 2000s. CW's take on the complicated socio-politics of the Upper East Side, the show follows Serena Van der Woodsen, a problematic girl who comes back to New York and inadvertently disrupts the lives of her family and group of friends.

What makes Gossip Girl such an outstanding TV series, even nowadays, is how it perfectly balances comedy, drama, and romance in a show with great visuals and amazing fashion. It's precisely this unique tone and aesthetic that puts Gossip Girl among the best teenage dramas. Some Gossip Girl episodes, however, stand out among the rest.

Updated on November 19, 2024, by Andrea Sandoval: Gossip Girl is a classic teenage series that, even after more than a decade of not releasing any new episodes, people keep watching. People didn't like the revival, but that's why it is amazing to still...

Megan Fox was the Hollywood It-girl of the 2000s, but her first major movie performance in 2004's Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is largely forgotten. Prior to that, most of Fox's credits were on television, including a memorable guest-starring turn as Prudence in a Two and a Half Men episode. Fox's big break came in 2007 with Transformers, in which she played love interest Mikaela Banes. She also starred in the 2009 cult classic Jennifer's Body. The actress' career took a hit after Fox made controversial remarks about Transformers director Michael Bay, but she has since resumed her career.

Fox wasn't the only Hollywood A-lister to star in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, as Lindsay Lohan played protagonist Lola Cep in the 2004 movie. Based on Dylan Sheldon's 1999 novel of the same, Confessions sees 15-year-old aspiring actress Lola heartbroken when her family moves from New York City to a New Jersey suburb.

Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives follows a group of Mormon moms and social media influencers who figure out how to rebuild their friendships following an explosive swinging scandal. At the start of the series, fans were introduced to Taylor Frankie Paul, who not only started MomTok, the women's famous TikTok group, but was also the one who initially shared the details of the scandalous swinging between this Utah-living group of women.

However, as Season 1 progressed, Taylor was not the show's "villain," despite revealing the "soft-swinging" that was occurring among the Mormon wives. Instead, her MomTok pal, Whitney Leavitt, got the title. Whitney would reveal what the other women would say behind each other's backs and would pick and choose which of her friend's parties she should attend. Whitney continued to distance herself from the friend group and by the end of Season 1, it remained unclear if she...

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Monday, September 30, pick up from Heather’s death and Sharon’s cover-up. Will the truth come out sooner rather than later?

Missing in Action

Daniel was busy rewarding — er, punishing — his daughter after her long day of community service with a special plate of ice cream (that will teach her to steal booze!), but that’s enough tough love. He and Lucy (Lily Brooks O’Briant) head home, only to discover Heather (Vail Bloom) is nowhere to be found.

Daniel goes out searching for her. But unless a CGI bridge is on his route, we don’t expect Daniel to be too successful.

Hide and Seek

Sharon (Sharon Case) knows where Heather is. She threw her off the aforementioned CGI bridge into some B-roll water. The dead and bloody Cameron (Linden Ashby) urged her to clean up...

Uorfi Javed made a memorable entrance on Splitsvilla 14 as the Queen Bee, bringing a whirlwind of drama and excitement to the reality show. From her fiery arguments with Sakshi Dwivedi to her romantic moments with Kashish Thakur, Urfi Javed was the center of attention throughout her stay on the show.

In a recent interview, Uorfi Javed reflected on her time on Splitsvilla, revealing that she had intentionally sought to bring drama to the show. “I wanted to fight because I found it boring, and I wanted some drama,” she admitted. “I didn’t know it would escalate to that level, but it happened.”

Despite the controversies, Uorfi Javed formed strong bonds with some of her co-contestants, including Kashish Thakur, with whom she shared a romantic connection. “I liked him a lot, and I thought he was amazing and funny,” she said. “He’s shy, which is different from my outgoing nature,...

Believe it or not, there was a time when studio executives were worried that John Travolta didn't have enough of the "it factor" to make it as a Hollywood leading man. He had a background in theater and was doing well on television, but in the 1970s, television and cinema were two entirely different worlds and actors didn't often jump between the mediums the way they do now. There were TV stars and there were movie stars, and never the twain shall meet. Well, maybe not never but it certainly wasn't common. And yet it was his TV star status that helped him land one of his breakout film roles.

During an interview with Journey To The Center Of The Cinema, casting director Harriet B. Helberg found it hilarious that Travolta arrived for his audition during his lunch break working on the TV comedy "Welcome Back, Kotter," still in his...

[This story contains spoilers from the fourth episode of Feud: Capote vs. the Swans, “It’s Impossible.”]

For Diane Lane, the entire premise of Feud: Capote vs. the Swans is full of complexity and layers.

As the FX series depicts the fallout from Truman Capote’s “La Côte Basque” — a chapter from his unfinished novel, Answered Prayers, that was excerpted in Esquire‘s November 1975 issue that caused a giant rift between the acclaimed writer and his “Swans” — the actress can’t help but notice the irony that she’s playing socialite Slim Keith, one of the Swans that was outraged by Capote’s thinly veiled portrait of the elite milieu in which she was a part. “I imagine them sitting on a sofa, enjoying champagne and popcorn, and having the last laugh on all of us,” says Lane, who laughs at the meta nature of the show’s depictions of the secrets, lies and gossip shared between Keith’s wealthy cohort.

Mean Girls 2024 has a projected 3-day gross of $29 million. This total beats the opening weekend of the original 2004 Mean Girls. The movie follows the story of transfer student Cady Heron as she tries to fit in and take down the bullying Plastics, led by Regina George.

Mean Girls (2024) has broken the box office opening record set by the original 2004 movie of the same name. The new movie musical, which was written by original Mean Girls screenwriter Tina Fey, is an adaptation of the 2018 Broadway musical based on the 2004 movie, which Fey also wrote, alongside composer Jeff Richmond and lyricist Nell Benjamin. It follows transfer student Cady Heron (Angourie Rice) attempting to fit in at school and trying to help bring down the trio of bullying girls known as the Plastics, led by Queen Bee Regina George (Renée Rapp).

Per Deadline, the Mean Girls release is set to take No.

This article contains spoilers for "Mean Girls."

The 2024 movie musical reimagining of "Mean Girls" restores a missing puzzle piece in the original film. Penned by Tina Fey and directed by Mark Waters, the original "Mean Girls" is a cautionary tale about the corrosive effects of cliques. Having grown up homeschooled, Cady (Lindsay Lohan) is figuring out how to survive in the jungle of a Chicago public high school. She befriends two outcasts, Janis (Lizzy Caplan) and Damian (Daniel Franzese), who recruit her to infiltrate the Plastics, a pink-clad clique of popular girls ruled by Queen Bee Regina George (Rachel McAdams). Cady finds herself allured by Regina's seemingly titanic confidence -- that is, until Regina steals Cady's crush, locking the two teens in a vicious cycle of revenge. 

Eventually, these incidents come to a boil when Regina is accidentally hit by a bus. When a recuperating Regina attends the Spring Fling,...

The 2024 Mean Girls musical lacks the bite and incisiveness of the original film, resulting in a sanded-down version. The cast, including Renee Rapp as Regina George, does their best to justify the movie's existence, but ultimately, the film falters under its own reputation. Despite talented cast members and musical moments, the movie feels like a diluted fever dream with scattered musical sequences. It fails to update or justify its existence, appearing more like a product of an industry eager for box office success than a passionate adaptation.

One of the tag lines for the unfortunate new Mean Girls musical is "This isn't your mother's Mean Girls" and they're most certainly right. By now, almost everyone knows the story of the hit 2004 film: Homeschooled jungle freak Cady Heron moves from Kenya to the Midwest, enrolls at North Shore High School, and faces the insurmountable task of adapting to a wild new challenge — being a teenager.

Mean Girls (2024) is a reimagining of the classic comedy film as a musical, directed by Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr. The directors approached the adaptation with enthusiasm, drawing influence from both the original movie and the 2016 Broadway adaptation. The movie trims down some of the songs from the Broadway version to serve the story but still offers an immersive and personal perspective on high school life.

Mean Girls (2024) may be Arturo Perez Jr. and Samantha Jayne's feature film directorial debut, but they have been lifelong fans of the original movie. Their enthusiasm for Tina Fey’s hit movie also extends to the 2016 Broadway adaptation, which the newest adaptation incorporates. Though it was originally based on Rosalind Wiseman's guidebook for parents Queen Bees and Wannabes, Mean Girls has become an unstoppable force on its own, dominating popular culture two decades later.

1999 was the apex of teen girl cinema, with over a dozen new releases now hailed in "girl world" as seminal classics. But that year also brought the financial juggernaut of "American Pie," and Hollywood realized that there was serious money to be made with boy-centered sex comedies. Pair that with the horrific tragedy at Columbine High School, and suddenly problems like a boy pretending to like you for a payday felt frivolous, and edgier fare felt too dangerous to be entertaining. Teen girl movies didn't outright disappear, but they certainly fell out of popularity and became niche, "chick flick" fare more than ever. The genre has never fully recovered and continues to fight for respect and relevance 25 years later. Fortunately, there have been culture-shifting pop cultural juggernauts that remind Hollywood (and society at large) that teen girls are and will forever be the true tastemakers.

And in 2004, one movie raised a devil-may-care eyebrow and said,...

Viewers took to social media to express their confusion and consternation after the first trailer for Mean Girls—the new film adaptation of the stage musical adaptation of the beloved 2004 film—dropped in November with no singing at all. Many wondered if this was just an ordinary remake for a new teen generation. After all, the tagline is “This is not your mother’s Mean Girls.” More than just aggrieved musical theater fans questioned whether producers were ashamed to let audiences know that this was indeed a movie musical.

The good news is that this Mean Girls proudly wears that genre like a homecoming crown, as the embrace of storytelling through song and dance is front and center. That was to be expected, as the musicalization of Mean Girls was largely a success back in 2018 when it opened on Broadway, and in large part because Tina Fey’s book for...

Avu-chan, the lead singer of Queen Bee, is a trailblazing transgender Japanese artist, known for her unique charisma and diverse gender presentation in her vocals. Queen Bee gained popularity through their performances for anime and movies, with their music being featured in popular shows like Dororo and Tokyo Ghoul :re. Their recent rise to super stardom came after the release of the anime Oshi no Ko, where Avu-chan's song "Mephisto" became one of the most popular songs of the year and introduced a wider audience to Queen Bee.

Blair faced constant hardships and betrayals from those closest to her, including her best friend sleeping with her boyfriend and leaving the city without warning. Her family life was dysfunctional and complicated, with her father leaving her for a man and her mother prioritizing her fashion empire over their relationship. Blair's relationships with Chuck were filled with heartbreak, from him running away after she said "I love you" to him trading her for a hotel and sleeping with her arch-rival.

Although Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf was the glamorous Queen Bee of the Upper East Side, she was no stranger to hardship and woes, with a number of terrible things being done to her over the course of the show. A complex and fascinating character, Blair quickly became one of the most intriguing parts of the show. Her relationships with her fellow characters, including Serena and Chuck, added to the...

Warning: Spoilers for Shazam! #5 ahead!

The magic of Shazam requires a specific god to physically throw the lightning in response to the champion's call, revealing potential weaknesses and vulnerabilities for each hero. The power of Shazam is tied to various mythic figures, with future iterations refining the pantheons from which the blessings are derived. The revelation in Shazam! #5 opens the door for new explorations of the champion's powers, including the possibility of a champion drawing power from a pantheon without a figure of light or lightning.

The powers of Shazam seem simple on the outside: one of the Wizard's champions says the magic word, lightning strikes, and they become empowered with the blessings of six deities. However, the petty squabbling of the gods over which of them gets control over Billy Batson has revealed a fascinating new detail about how the magic works: rather than being automatic, one of the...
