Lupe Fiasco wants his new album to be an act of service. On Friday, the esteemed rapper announced that he’ll release his ninth studio album, Samurai, on June 28 and also dropped the project’s title track. The LP will hear Fiasco dive into more personal storytelling while embracing the idea that you “need to be at the service of other people.”
“I sometimes get tagged by my fans as not doing personal records,” Lupe said in a statement, “but I always tell people there’s me in there if you listen closely enough.

Helldivers 2 has been through a lot and so have the developers at Arrowhead Game Studios. It is undeniable that the team has been taking all the controversies and hate like a champ, but it is often overlooked that they are human beings too, and are not invincible.
The manpower of the studio is spread too thin and back-to-back issues within the game and on the business front have put them in a messy situation. If this persists, the quality of the live-service game will decline significantly and their stress will have an impact on how they work.
Helldivers 2 Players Need to Cut the Developers Some Slack
The developers over at Arrowhead Game Studios are also fighting for the game and the Helldivers 2 community needs to respect that.
Major problems usually take a toll on a person, especially in a toxic and demanding work environment and industry like entertainment. It wasn...

Marvel Studio’s X-Men ’97 has been wreaking havoc across the fandom for its incredible storyline, marvellous characters, nostalgic theme, and adrenaline-packed action. While the animated series continues to garner praise, many have been wondering why Beau DeMayo, the series’ showrunner, was allegedly fired by Marvel.

Just a week before X-Men ’97’s release, DeMayo and Marvel apparently parted ways. While that does seem to be as concerning, it becomes more concerning given DeMayo’s history with Henry Cavill’s The Witcher.

Emilia Clarke’s arc in Game of Thrones has been a subject of both fury and annoyance over the years — and for good reason. Be it her manipulative benevolence, or little by little transformation into the Mad Queen, or her full-blown turn to tyranny — Danaerys Targaryen’s journey has been a rollercoaster ride and her character remains an enigma whose first moment is as memorable as her last, and every second in between is just as remarkably imprinted on the audience’s memory.

It is one such moment that had Emilia Clarke breathing a sigh of relief while filming a particularly seductive scene on the show.

The creators of the upcoming X-Men ’97 series want to clarify that their decision to make Morph a nonbinary individual does not stem from the woke culture of modern society but rather from the figure’s own skills and powers.
X-Men: The Animated Series
The backlash on this character’s radical change was so severe that the original creators of X-Men: The Animated Series had to explain their side and illuminate fans who have been having confused thoughts about Morph’s portrayal. They also returned to give their input on the reboot.
X-Men ’97 Creative Heads Defend Morph As A Non-binary Character
During an interview with Variety, director Larry Houston claimed that being nonbinary is the same thing as being a shapeshifter, which is Morph’s signature power.
“For me, the word ‘nonbinary’ is the same as the word ‘shapeshifter.’ Every character that can change from one gender to another,...

Hollywood star Chris Pine’s career has taken a downward turn since the release of Don’t Worry Darling. The controversy and chaos surrounding the film have put a “curse” on Pine’s once-promising career. Each subsequent project of the star since this film has faced unique challenges of their own.
Chris Pine in Outlaw King
His directorial debut was no exception. There have been glimmers of hope with films like Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves but overall, luck has been in short supply for Pine. What happened at the premiere of his directorial debut project is truly surprising.
Audience Walked Out of Chris Pine’s Directorial Debut Chris Pine in Poolman
Chris Pine made his debut as a director in Poolman, a film that he produced, co-wrote, and also starred in. Donning multiple hats on this project, the Wonder Woman actor must have expected the film to do well.

The 96th Academy Awards felt like a true celebration. The show was packed with memorable moments, from Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s first Oscar win (which moved everyone to tears) to Ryan Gosling’s electrifying performance of I’m Just Ken, accompanied by Slash on guitar. But that’s not all, this year’s Oscars have also introduced some big changes.
Ryan Gosling performed I’m Just Ken at Oscars 2024
These shifts came after the highlight of the long 2017 Oscars, which turned into a disaster when they announced that La La Land had won Best Picture instead of Moonlight.

William Shakespeare’s Pericles, Prince of Tyre ends with a pair of near-resurrections, as the titular protagonist reunites with his daughter and wife, each long-thought dead. It’s only fitting, then, that Fiasco Theater’s production of Pericles, running at the Classic Stage Company until March 24, is an electrifying act of double-resurrection itself.
Pericles is one of Shakespeare’s late romances, blurring lines between genres and toying with fantastical scenes of rebirth, and it’s right in Fiasco’s wheelhouse: the troupe burst on to the scene with a six-actor production of another work in the genre, Cymbeline, in 2011. Gorgeously giddy New York productions of Measure for Measure and The Two Gentlemen of Verona, so-called comedies with disquieting dark turns, followed, in 2014 and 2015, respectively. But some of Fiasco’s more recent early modern undertakings, like a weirdly froth-less Twelfth Night at Classic Stage in 2017 and an overly chaotic reinvention of...

‘The Marvels’ was released ten days ago, and since then, the movie has kept breaking unflattering records. It was the lowers grossing MCU movie of all time during its opening weekend when it comes to both domestic and global box office. It has seen the sharpest drop for its 2nd weekend run both domestically and globally, and it might be the first MCU movie not to earn $100 million during its entire run domestically. Those numbers don’t look good at all, and they managed to surpass even the bleakest box-office prognosis.
And while both fandom and executives are pointing fingers in all directions, Brie Larson, Captain Marvel herself, gave a statement to Entertainment Tonight that she has no plans to abandon the role and has plenty more to say.

Dove Cameron is embracing all of the support! The 26-year-old is up for the Best New Artist award during Sunday night’s American Music Awards and truly can’t believe the amount of love she is getting from fans across the globe.
“I think the number one remark that we keep making is if somebody had told me that this is how the year was going to go at the top of the year, I’d be like ‘shut the f**k up. That’s not how time works.’ There’s no way you could make that leap that quickly. It just kind of feels like this amazing lucky whirlwind,” she tells Et’s Denny Directo.
When it comes to the support she’s received, Cameron says she has the LGBTQ+ community to thank.

Chris Hemsworth is not letting life pass him by. That’s why the 39-year-old action star says he’s “taking time off” after he finishes promoting his new Disney+ series, “Limitless”.
The “Thor” star told Vanity Fair that he came to the realization he needed to slow things down following the filming of an episode on death for his new docuseries. Hemsworth evoked his children — 10-year-old India and 8-year-old twins, Sasha and Tristan, whom he shares with wife Elsa Pataky — as the catalyst behind the decision.
