Not Like Us is making all the way up on Billboard as it continues to outpace its competition as the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar escalates. It is likely that Lamar’s diss track will make it to the top, the only problem remains: which one? Writers of the popular American entertainment magazine have the same question.
The diss track aimed at the Canadian rapper also shattered one of the records on Spotify. The song dethroned Girls Wants Girls, which had the most hip-hop song streams in a single day. As of now, the track holds over 28 million views on video sharing platform YouTube.

In a sensitive year like 2024, Stellar Blade has sparked controversy, as even before getting to play it, gamers have pointed out that Shift Up objectifies its main character. The portrayal of women in games has been a controversial topic of discussion for quite some time. However, it becomes confusing when an upcoming installment in Xbox’s Fable franchise has been criticized for making its female lead unattractive, and it’s unclear what developers have to do to satisfy every gamer.

It’s not often that you think about the theory that there might be someone who looks exactly like you somewhere in another part of the world and none of you know that either one exists since the Doppleganger theory is very rarely witnessed by anybody.
Elizabeth Olsen has twin sisters who are part of the fashion industry named Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
But Margot Robbie, Natalie Portman, and Katy Perry along with other stars in the industry have witnessed the presence of their striking lookalikes in the entertainment business itself, which leads many to believe that Doppleganages might really exist.

Nathan Drake and Lara Croft could be Hollywood’s go-to treasure hunters until someone else comes along because, according to Nicolas Cage, a National Treasure 3 is not happening. Cage played treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates in Disney’s 2004 action-adventure romp, with National Treasure: Book of Secrets mapping a path to theaters in 2007.
Speaking with ScreenRant, Cage said, “No, there is no National Treasure 3. If you want to find treasure, don’t look at Disney, okay? It’s not there.”
Cage’s verbal mousetrap is quite telling of the actor’s tolerance for how Disney conducts its business. Cage’s comment may refer to how Disney fumbled the bag with its sequel series National Treasure: Edge of History. The adventure series starring Lisette Olivera, Zuri Reed, Jake Austin Walker, Antonio Cipriano, and Catherine Zeta-Jones was canceled after one season despite having ties to the Cage-led feature films.

On January 26, Bandai Namco will release Tekken 8 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. While there will surely be multiple seasons of Dlc for the game, the first season will end right around the 30th anniversary of the series. 30 years of eight mainline titles, two tag team offshoots, a Nina Williams spinoff, some mediocre-at-best movies, a pretty decent Netflix animated series, and a handful of weird-ass comic tie-ins.
In those three decades, Bandai Namco gave us what might just be the best fighting game series to ever exist. If the fighting genre had a Mount Rushmore, surely the titles carved into it would be Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, and King of Fighters. I mean, I suppose you could argue Super Smash Bros., but the fighting game community treats it like Anakin Skywalker in the Jedi Council. It’s there, but is treated like an outsider.

Angelina Jolie once shared there have been moments where she was a bit critical of her appearance.

During a wide-ranging conversation for THR‘s Awards Chatter podcast at the Campari Lounge at the Cannes Film Festival, Oscar winner Alicia Vikander went through her career from her upbringing in Sweden and background in ballet to her Oscar-winning role in The Danish Girl and her latest film Firebrand, which will screen in competition at the festival.
Vikander’s big break in her native Sweden came with 2010’s Pure. She then turned heads in the 2012 Danish film A Royal Affair, co-starring with Mads Mikkelsen, but it was her role in Alex Garland’s Ex Machina that gained her notoriety in the U.S. “Everything that needs to be there, is there and nothing else. A lot of it you had to understand by reading the action and understanding what is happening in the scene emotionally,” she said of the Garland- written screenplay.

Best bargain in Cannes?
For a quick bite during the day, I would definitely recommend you try my favorite vegetarian sandwich at Kiosque 4 L’Exocet, next to Palm Beach. In the center, you can also find a good falafel kebab next to Place Gambetta named Aux délices Arménien.
Favorite meal in Cannes?
I don’t have a favorite meal in Cannes but I love to try new restaurants. There’s a big turnover here, so there’s always new places to try. You can find plenty of good ones on Rue Hoche, Rue Ménadier and the Suquet.
Most overrated restaurant?
I never go to overrated places so I don’t get disappointed.

In Britain, schoolchildren learning about Tudor history are taught a handy rhyme to remember the order of King Henry VIII’s six wives: “Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived.”
Hollywood has for decades been transfixed by the “beheaded” and “died” bits — essentially, the stories about women suffering — but what moviegoers are rarely reminded of is the wife who outlived Henry. In Karim Aïnouz’s hotly anticipated “Firebrand,” it’s the notorious Tudor king’s final companion, Katherine Parr, who finally takes center stage.
“What’s mostly been dramatized are the wives who didn’t make it,” says Swedish star Alicia Vikander, who plays the surviving queen opposite Jude Law’s ailing monarch. “[When I read the script] I immediately thought, ‘Huh, isn’t it interesting that most people know more about the other wives.’ It’s almost like people are drawn to quite grim stories.”

“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” promises to put Universal on the animation throne long occupied by Disney. It also shows that video games, not comic books, are where Hollywood should be sniffing around for new franchises.
With a comparatively modest $100 million budget, Universal and Illumination’s video game adaptation shattered box office records for animated movies, earning $204 million domestically and $376 million worldwide over the long Easter weekend. But the movie also set a record for box office derived from a character that audiences likely first encountered in an arcade or on a console.
“I think we are going to see a lot more video games being made into movies,” Gerber Kawasaki CEO Ross Gerber told TheWrap. “’Super Mario Bros.’ is huge and kids relate to gaming characters. I expect way more of this.”
There’s only so long that studios can get away with rebooting “Spider-Man” or spinning off of “Star Wars.

“I didn’t want her to be trans or cis. I just wanted her to be a woman climbing up the ladder. I wanted to show every little girl around the world that you are capable of being a boss,” she shared. “You don’t need...

Angelina Jolie has gone on to achieve one of the most impressive film careers in Hollywood. But her film career almost had a much shorter run after doing her acclaimed feature Gia.

Gia was a 1998 biopic about the life of supermodel Gia Carangi. Jolie ended up playing Gia, who experienced massive success in her modeling career before tragedy struck. Gia was a film that dealt with many heavy topics that Jolie wasn’t initially sure would be handled correctly. This made her reluctant to accept the role in the beginning.
“When I read the script I had lots of reasons for not wanting to do it,” Jolie once told The New York Times. ”I didn’t trust that they would deal with drugs and AIDS in the right way. I was worried that they were going...

Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander, real-life husband and wife, are reuniting onscreen for the second time. The Oscar-winner (Vikander for “The Danish Girl”) and the Oscar-nominee (Fassbender for “12 Years A Slave”) will star in “Hope,” a mostly Korean-language feature from Na Hong-Jin.
The picture, about a mysterious delivery made on the outskirts of a remote harbor town, is the filmmaker’s first directorial effort since “The Wailing” earned rave reviews and $49 million worldwide in 2016 from a $6 million budget, with $48 million of that coming from South Korea.
“Oftentimes,” noted Hong-Jin, “a person’s goodwill can lead to unintended catastrophe simply because of differences in perspective. My hope for this film is to cinematically capture that phenomenon in a way that has yet to be seen.”

Angelina Jolie has starred in many films over the years. But there was one film in her extensive filmography that she felt might have been too much even for her children.

Given how popular of a movie star Jolie is, it seems inevitable that her children would come across her films sooner or later. According to Jolie herself, her children have already been exposed to a decent chunk of her filmography. One film they found especially entertaining was watching their parents collaborate for the first time in Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
“The older ones recently saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith and I think they thought it was the funniest thing they’d ever seen,” Jolie once said at a press conference according to Hello. “Watching your parents fight as spies is some kind of strange fantasy.

Sacré bleu, “Emily the Criminal” has been confused with yet another project, this time courtesy of Paul Schrader.
The Academy Award-nominated filmmaker shared on Facebook that he waited to watch the indie thriller starring Aubrey Plaza after assuming it was connected to Netflix series “Emily in Paris.” The Lily Collins-led viral series returned for a third season December 21, while film “Emily the Criminal” is also streaming on the platform.
“I didn’t take notice of ‘Emily the Criminal’ because I somehow confused it with ‘Emily in Paris.’ So it slipped past,” Schrader wrote. “When I sobered up enough to realize they were two different films, I watched. What an impressive feature debut! Assured, smart, constantly pushing the narrative. Writer/director John Patton Ford is the real jones.”
The “Master Gardener” director continued, “So I read some of the interviews he’s given. Also impressive.”

Crystal Dynamics aren’t putting all their focus on resurrecting the Legacy of Kain series. They’ve struck a deal with Amazon Games to develop a new Tomb Raider entry, which will see Crystal Dynamics will develop a new multiplatform title, with Amazon Games providing full support and publishing the game globally.
Promising it to be “the biggest, most expansive Tomb Raider game to date,” the title will be powered by Unreal Engine 5. No release date has been set as of yet for the title, which is currently in development. It’s again quite the turnaround from earlier in the year when Crystal Dynamics was sold to Embracer Group by Square Enix.
“Tomb Raider is one of the most beloved IPs in entertainment history,” said Amazon Games vice president Christoph Hartmann. “Amazon Games is committed to bringing players games of the highest quality, from the best developers, across all variety of platforms and genres,...

Amazon has struck a deal with Crystal Dynamics, a San Mateo, California–based game developer, to publish a new video game based on the Tomb Raider franchise, the companies said on Thursday.
The currently untitled game is in early development and does not yet have a release date. The latest installment, set to be a multi-platform single-player narrative adventure, will include exploration, puzzle solving and combative interactions with enemies.
The Tomb Raider game will be published after MGM, acquired by Amazon earlier this year for 8.5 billion, lost the film rights to the Tomb Raider franchise earlier this summer. A planned sequel with returning star Alicia Vikander was also scrapped at the time and the film rights have since returned to the producer Graham King and his Gk Films.

With the upcoming release of Rian Johnson's "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," there's no better time to discuss Daniel Craig's acting career. He was so magnetic in "Knives Out" that fans all but demanded a sequel -- leading Netflix to greenlight two Knives Out films for 400 million. Even before he (arguably) became the 21st century's preeminent James Bond, Craig had several impressive performances. Despite taking on the daunting role of 007, he escaped typecasting by continuously working with great material, directors, and castmates.
Craig's work -- especially post-"Casino Royale" -- generally falls into two categories: stoic and livewire. Over the years, he's played complicated heroes, despicable villains, and the occasional comic relief role. He's also been kicking around longer than you may think. Do you remember him as an evil German solider in "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" or as Master Kane alongside a young Kate Winslet...

"Werewolf By Night" has arrived on Disney+ just in time for the spooky season and luckily, it rules/ The Marvel special stars Gael Garcia Bernal as Jack Russell, a man who transforms into the titular beast under the light of the full moon. Other notable Marvel characters appearing in the special are Elsa Bloodstone (Laura Donnelly) and Ted Sallis (Carey Jones), aka Man-Thing — who looks amazing by the way. The special is a bold swing for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, something that has felt increasingly rare as of late, and director/composer Michael Giacchino has brought this formerly unexplored corner of Marvel Comics to brilliant life.

Who knew that Edgar Wright and Paul Rudd were doppelgängers?
Wright hilariously shared an Instagram post highlighting the uncanny comparison between him and the “Clueless” actor. “Was asked to sign two publicity photos of me. Happy to oblige,” Wright captioned, before sharing side-by-side photos with Rudd. “To avoid any further confusion on this matter, me and Paul would like to supply two recent photos.”
Wright had written, “This is me! Lots of love!” next to his photo, adding, “This is Paul Rudd. He’s cool too! Lots of love, Edgar W.” to the second photo. Rudd then held up a Post-It with his name and an arrow to clarify which star is which.
Zelda Williams commented, “And Keanu Reeves is just both of you in a leather Matrix trench coat.” Ke Huy Quan added, “This post is so funny! I can’t stop laughing.”

Angelina Jolie has filed a countersuit against her ex-husband Brad Pitt, disclosing new details of alleged abusive behaviour during a 2016 private jet ride.
On Tuesday (4 October), as part of an ongoing legal battle over the French winery they once owned, the Maleficent star filed a cross-complaint.
In the court filings, seen by The New York Times, Jolie’s lawyers claimed that negotiations to sell her share of the business had broken down after Pitt demanded she sign “a nondisclosure agreement that would have contractually prohibited her from speaking outside of court about Pitt’s physical and emotional abuse of her and their children”.
The suit also further addresses their alleged fight onboard a private jet in 2016.
“Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face” and “grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her,” the filings allege, also claiming that at one point, Pitt “poured beer on Jolie; at another,...

In "Reflections," the fifth episode of the third season of "Star Trek: Lower Decks," Ensigns Boimler (Jack Quaid) and Mariner (Tawney Newsome) have been assigned to work the Starfleet booth at what is essentially the "Star Trek" version of a college jobs fair. As anyone who has ever attended a jobs fair (or anyone who has ever had the bad luck of working in one of those 10-foot-by-10-foot sunshade tents) knows, the experience can be miserable. Working a booth entails performing a series of dry sales pitches for only vaguely interested passersby, hoping that maybe one person in every 50 will write their e-mail address on your clipboard. One hopes they haven't just stopped at your booth for your bowl of free York Peppermint Patties.
While it may seem logical that Starfleet would have recruiting booths at jobs fairs, Trekkies watching may experience a slight pang of cognitive dissonance. Why,...
