- See every contestant who advanced on The Voice season 27 — and which celeb coach's team they're on
The competition to find The Voice of season 27 is in full swing, after the conclusion of the show's signature Blind Auditions. Coaches Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé, John Legend, and Adam Levine are seated in the red chairs this season, which just premiered in February but has already offered some shining moments. Viewers have watched as Levine returned to the NBC reality competition for the first time since 2019, when he took a break to spend time with his family. While his friendly rival Blake Shelton isn't on the panel anymore, the other coaches are keeping him on his toes. Country star Ballerini, meanwhile, had served as a mentor before and filled in for coach Kelly Clarkson, but this is her inaugural season as a coach — with a spinning chair, that is. Ballerini was the "fifth coach" in season 15 for the competition's "Comeback Stage" digital series, in which she met with six Blind Auditions artists who didn't get chair turns and competed for a spot in the top 13 Live Shows. 'The Voice' season 27 coaches Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé, Adam Levine, and John Legend. Trae Patton/NBC Former coach Reba McEntire is cheering on Ballerini, who found a note from McEntire in the Feb. 3 premiere. "Dear Kelsea, I heard you would be the new coach this season, and I'm just so excited for you," the "Fancy" artist wrote. "It's up to you to keep country alive on the show, and I know you'll do a terrific job." She advised Ballerini to "go out there and show those boys who's the boss." Now that all four coaches have assembled their teams of 12, they'll take them through Battle Rounds next. The contestants who made the cut will be advised by recognizable names in the Battles, including Cynthia Erivo (Team Bublé), Little Big Town (Team Kelsea), Coco Jones (Team Legend), and Kate Hudson (Team Adam).

- The Voice contestant's rendition of Taylor Swift song stuns coaches: 'I will be your fan'
If you're going to sing a song by Taylor Swift on The Voice, you'd better bring it. That was the message that coaches Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé, John Legend, and Adam Levine had for contestant Tori Templet, who sang Swift's 2019 track "Lover" Monday on the last night of the show's signature Blind Auditions. And they thought the 24-year-old from Atlanta truly did. Making a song from Swift your own is "one of the hardest feats," first-season coach Ballerini told the singer after her performance. "And you have such a unique voice. I listen to that song differently, and your voice made me do that. I will be your fan on this show." While Ballerini didn't turn her chair for Templet, the contestant had her choice of the two coaches who did: Bublé and Levine. (Legend had already filled up the 12 spots on his team when she took the stage.) See every contestant who advanced on The Voice season 27 — and which celeb coach's team they're on Bublé complimented Templet on the "breathy" quality of her voice, and said that he selfishly wanted to hear her do some jazz. Levine agreed that she had talent, but he had other ideas about where she should direct it. He noted that he had been impressed when he turned around and saw her playing the guitar as well as singing. "The purity and the simplicity of what you do is something that I think is really lacking," Levine told Templet. "There's something about your voice, too, where I start thinking Cranberries, and I'm thinking Sundays and you know, like, Mazzy Star, who was a band from the ’90s. I'm hearing that in your voice, and that's a lane that we get to have, that gets to be ours." Michael Bublé's attempt to lure The Voice contestant with surprise trophy blows up in his face Not only did Templet know of those acts, she's a fan. She joined Team Adam, the second-to-last contestant to do so. Another singer who covered a high-profile artist was not as fortunate. Cornelius Versa, a 35-year-old from Detroit, sang Elvis Presley's rousing "Burning Love," but he failed to turn any chairs. Realistically, his chances were lower from the start, because Levine was the only coach with any spots left on his team. Michael Buble, Kelsea Ballerini, and Adam Levine on 'The Voice'. Trae Patton/NBC Bublé offered his comments anyway: "For me, the comparison of Elvis Presley was just hard." Levine advised Versa that he should focus more on his vocals than his movement, since the coaches can't see what he's doing. "I genuinely believe that you have that kind of voice where, if you come back and you were to do something that gave you the room to sing more than perform it," Levine said, "I really think that that would go a long way for you."

- The 25 best Whitney Houston songs, from deep cuts to chart-toppers
We will always love the Prom Queen of Soul. One of the most-awarded female artists ever — with more than 400 accolades, including six Grammys — Whitney Houston's acclaim stems not only from possessing one of the most singular, spectacular voices in pop music history but also from cultivating an expansive and high-quality discography. From her debut in 1984 to her death at age 48 on Feb. 11, 2012, the New Jersey-born singer recorded 200-plus songs, leaving behind decades-worth of high notes that still resonate with her fans and future generations (proved by her status as the highest-paid dead female celebrity, as of 2023). From deep cuts like "One of Those Days" to ageless numbers such as "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)," here are the 25 best Whitney Houston songs. 25. "When You Believe" (1998) Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston perform 'When You Believe' during the 71st Academy Awards on March 21, 1999. TIMOTHY A. CLARY/AFP via Getty While not exactly cross-generational (only seven years separate them), this duet between Houston and Mariah Carey from the animated film The Prince of Egypt felt like the passing of a torch. The movie (and the song) weren't particularly memorable — though Ariana Grande and Cynthia Ervio may argue otherwise, as the Wicked costars performed the duet at the 2024 Met Gala — but "When You Believe" is noteworthy merely for bringing together two of the most head-spinning vocal talents pop music has ever known. 24. "Same Script, Different Cast" (2000) Deborah Cox and Whitney Houston performing 'Same Script, Different Cast' during the Arista Records' 25th Anniversary Celebration. Chris Haston/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty This song is as if the "boy" from the Brandy and Monica duet "The Boy Is Mine" grew up into a cad, burned Whitney, and took up with Deborah Cox. And girlfriend is pissed: "Enjoy it now 'cause it won't last/Same script, different cast," Whitney purrs. Fun fact No. 1: "Same Script, Different Cast" samples the third song that everybody who's ever taken piano lessons learned to play — Beethoven's "Für Elise." Fun fact No. 2: It spawned a host of dance remixes; the "Victor Romeo Slang Vocal Mix" is required treadmill listening. 23. "All the Man That I Need" (1990) Whitney Houston in the music video for "All the Man That I Need". Whitney Houston/YouTube Houston took what had been a minor R&B hit for Sister Sledge and turned it into yet another No. 1. Her celebration of finding a love that didn't have "to hurt to turn out right" gave hope to forlorn singletons everywhere. 22. "All at Once" (1986) Whitney performing 'All at Once' at Wogan in 1986. Whitney Houston/YouTube Over a quiet keyboard line, Houston mourns a relationship that is finally irrevocably over. 21. "Saving All My Love for You" (1985) Whitney Houston in her music video for 'Saving All My Love for You'. Whitney Houston/YouTube Houston's guy has other priorities — and a wife. She knows she shouldn't be last on his list, but she swears she'll wait for him to leave his lady, 'cause he's worth it. The stuff that's been piped into thousands of dentist offices, was also her first No. 1 hit. 20. "Love Will Save the Day" (1988) Whitney Houston performs on stage at Wembley Arena, London, on May 15, 1988. Graham Wiltshire/Getty Though the single broke her streak of consecutive No. 1's, the Miami bass and spicy horns on this high-BPM dance-pop workout pointed to Houston's willingness to experiment and evolve. Do we need a Whitney Houston biopic? With I Wanna Dance With Somebody, the answer is complicated 19. "One of Those Days" (2002) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'One of Those Days'. Whitney Houston/YouTube An underrated single off an underrated album. Houston gave her listeners an instruction manual for pampering themselves in the Sex and the City era: "Light the candles, aromatherapy/Hot tub bubbles surrounding me/Mr. Big is in the background/The Isley Brothers gonna hold it down." Not so coincidentally, the Isley Brothers' iconic 1983 jam "Between the Sheets" provided the song's backbone. 18. "I'm Your Baby Tonight" (1990) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'I'm Your Baby Tonight'. Whitney Houston/YouTube Houston greeted the new decade by changing her sound. Producers Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and L.A. Reid prodded her in a grittier, more street-oriented direction, but even in that altered (and frankly, less vocally demanding) setting, her voice remained a technical marvel. 17. "Million Dollar Bill" (2009) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'Million Dollar Bill'. Whitney Houston/YouTube It failed to catch fire on the mainstream charts, but the Alicia Keys-co-penned single from Houston's final studio album was a sweetly saucy celebration of feeling like hot currency in the right relationship, with a thrumming bassline and a climbing "oh whoa whoa" chorus. 16. "Didn't We Almost Have It All" (1987) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'Didn't We Almost Have It All'. Whitney Houston/YouTube So transformative was Houston's voice that she was able to make lite-FM ballads like this one sound effortlessly rich and melancholic, and send them directly to the top of the Hot 100. 15. "It's Not Right but It's Okay" (1999) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'It's Not Right but It's Okay'. Whitney Houston/YouTube The anthem for anyone done wrong by a two-timing man. Is he forgiven? He is not. But will they move on, and eventually triumph? You bet your cheating, no-good heart. Just make sure you leave your keys by the door on your way out. 14. "One Moment in Time" (1988) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'One Moment in Time'. Whitney Houston/YouTube The 1988 Seoul Olympics needed an anthem, and Houston rose to meet the challenge with this majestic carpe diem chest-thumper. The song — a staple of sports montages — yielded one of Houston's all-time best performances at the 1989 Grammys ceremony. 13. "Step by Step" (1997) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'Step by Step'. Whitney Houston/YouTube The Preacher's Wife 1996 remake wasn't a masterpiece, but for gospel lovers, its soundtrack was: It became the best-selling gospel album of all time, moving some 6 million copies. And its Annie Lennox-penned second single — an ode to not biting off more than you can chew, set to a churchy dance beat — peaked at a respectable No. 15 on the pop charts. 12. "Greatest Love of All" (1986) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'Greatest Love of All'. Whitney Houston/YouTube Sure, the production is dated — oh, those tinkly Casio chords! — but her inspirational ballad was an adult-contemporary touchstone for a reason, and even inspired an especially memorable monologue from Christian Bale's yuppie sociopath in the 2000 film American Psycho. 11. "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" (1988) Whitney Houston performing 'Where Do Broken Hearts Go' at Wogan, 1988. Whitney Houston/YouTube "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" actually went to a lot of places — including the top of Billboard's Hot 100. This searching ballad made Houston the first artist to land seven straight No. 1 songs: an astonishing record that still stands. Most memorable Super Bowl national anthem performances, from Whitney Houston to Lady Gaga 10. "You Give Good Love" (1985) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'You Give Good Love'. Whitney Houston/YouTube This pretty bedroom ballad — the first big single from her debut — proved that soulful R&B and Top 40 pop can be hard to tell apart when the lights are off. 9. "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" (1995) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'Exhale (Shoop Shoop)'. Whitney Houston/YouTube Perhaps knowing that it would be unjustly compared with the mammoth Bodyguard soundtrack, Houston was determined not to record new songs for Waiting to Exhale. But producer Babyface persuaded her to lend her voice to this warm, simple groove. And wisely: "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" became only the third single in history at the time to debut atop the Billboard Hot 100. 8. "I'm Every Woman" (1993) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'I'm Every Woman'. Whitney Houston/YouTube Houston took the Chaka Khan original out of the disco era and transported it into early-'90s R&B funkland. It wasn't the biggest hit off the album — there was that Dolly Parton cover you may have heard of — but it's the most irresistible. By the time the last chorus kicks in, even the most Y-chromosome-laden among us were name-checking Chaka and singing along. 7. "I Have Nothing" (1993) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'I Have Nothing'. Whitney Houston/YouTube This steadily escalating stunner put the "power" in power ballad, allowing all of Houston's lyrical self-doubt and pathos to erupt into sonic tidal waves of goosebump-worthy bombast. 6. "So Emotional" (1987) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'So Emotional'. Whitney Houston/YouTube "I don't know why I like it/I just do," Houston giggles at the top of this giddy confession of a first-blush crush, which illuminated a naughtier, more rollicking side of the sweet-faced starlet. Ain't it shocking what love can do? “So Emotional” circled back into popularity in a big way 30 years later with a huge bump in Spotify streams after Sasha Velour iconically lip-synced to it on the season 9 finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race, culminating in an outpouring of rose petals from under her wig. Whitney: Ranking every song on Whitney Houston's seminal 1987 album 5. "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" (1987) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)'. Whitney Houston/YouTube A spirited descendant of "How Will I Know," this triumphant summer single met the gold standard of '80s pop, inspiring TIME magazine to crown her "The Prom Queen of Soul." And the music video, showcasing a shimmying, bow-bedecked Houston who just wanted to have some fun and "feel the heat with somebody," became an indelible clip of the era. 4. "My Love Is Your Love" (1999) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'My Love Is Your Love'. Whitney Houston/YouTube Many had already written off Houston as past her career prime when she released My Love Is Your Love, her first studio album in eight years. But this gorgeously syncopated soul-pop lullaby — featuring a sweet cameo ("Sing, Mommy") from her then-toddler daughter, Bobbi Kristina — rightfully went on to become her third-most-successful single ever, and redefined her for a younger generation. 3. "How Will I Know" (1985) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'How Will I Know'. Whitney Houston/YouTube While it was first offered to Janet Jackson, the fifth single off Houston's debut album ended up being exactly the sort of buoyantly dancey hit — hey there, sax solo! — that the young woman until then known primarily for stately ballads needed to be a true pop crossover star. And if you haven't heard the remarkable vocals-only version, go listen right now. No really, go. We'll wait for you. 2. "The Star-Spangled Banner" (1991) Whitney Houston sings the national anthem at Super Bowl XXV on January 27, 1991. Michael Zagaris/Getty Perhaps the most iconic, chills-inducing version of the national anthem ever rendered, it was also the only one to chart as a top 20 hit...twice. Her powerhouse performance at Super Bowl XXV stirred the patriotism of a country in the midst of the Gulf War, and did so again in the wake of 9/11; in both cases, Houston donated her share of profits from the song to those serving in the armed forces. 1. "I Will Always Love You" (1992) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'I Will Always Love You'. Whitney Houston/YouTube The song that went on to become a defining highlight of Houston's career almost never happened at all. Originally, the then 28-year-old was slated to cover Jimmy Ruffin's early Motown hit "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" for the soundtrack of The Bodyguard, in which she also had her first major film role. It was her costar, Kevin Costner, who suggested she take on Dolly Parton's plaintive 1974 country ballad instead. (Against the record company's wishes, Houston and Costner fought to keep the extended a cappella intro, and won.) Her gospel-tinged reworking of the song — a towering showcase for the singer's phenomenal three-octave range — was an immediate global smash, topping the charts in 16 countries, and spending a record-shattering 14 weeks at No. 1 in the U.S.
- Watch SNL's Kenan Thompson and Marcello Hernández perform rap written by Colin Jost — plus behind-the-scenes footage (exclusive)
An unlikely trio of Saturday Night Live stars is teaming up to sell some phone plans. Entertainment Weekly can exclusively debut a new T-Mobile ad featuring Kenan Thompson and Marcello Hernández performing a rap written by none other than Colin Jost, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of the recording process. The commercial, which will air during an ad break of Saturday's Timothée Chalamet-hosted episode of SNL, sees Thompson and Hernández in pink-and-black outfits singing (er, rapping) the praises of T-Mobile's Magenta Status rewards program. "You know, every day, billions of people ask me, 'Kenan, what's your favorite wireless phone company that's not even a wireless phone company — it's a way of life?'" Thompson says at the beginning of the ad. "And I say, 'Hush! Listen to the song.'" Paige DeSorbo shares SNL star Marcello Hernández's reaction to cheating rumors about them: 'F--- yeah!' In their recitation of Jost's lyrics, Thompson and Hernández go on to enumerate the perks of the company's loyalty program, including VIP entrances at select entertainment venues, in-flight wi-fi connection, and "hotel costing less-a." Hernández compares the company to "a red light, anti-aging therapy" mask and says that it's "so precious it's delivered by a seasoned midwife." (Shout-out to Jost for these evocative bars.) Sign up for Entertainment Weekly's free daily newsletter to get breaking TV news, exclusive first looks, recaps, reviews, interviews with your favorite stars, and more. In the behind-the-scenes footage, SNL music director Eli Brueggemann breaks down the process of crafting the song. "I got a voice memo from Colin Jost, a couple music directions. It's got like a little bit of that kind of West Coast swagger," he explains. "I wanted to use analog synthesizer-kinda technology, but I also wanted to make it kinda classic and sorta timeless, like Kenan." Scarlett Johansson wants Colin Jost to sell Staten Island ferry for scrap metal: 'Help our family!' Brueggemann, who has worked on the show since 2011, says that the T-Mobile tune harkens back to the style of his earlier SNL work. "It draws on a lot of the same sorta sounds that we used back in the 2010s music videos, like 'Sump'n Claus' and 'Twin Bed,'" he says. "I love that era." Kenan Thompson. SNL/Youtube Thompson minimizes his involvement in the recording process. "It was like a rap that felt familiar," he says. "I was there for two seconds. That's how good it all feels. Semi felt guilty about being in and out so quick, but nah, I was in and out quick." SNL star Tim Meadows sets record straight after Kenan Thompson called him a 'Harvard guy' in memoir Brueggemann also reflects on collaborating with Hernández. "I love working with Marcello," he says. "He's just a ball of energy and coming up with new stuff all the time. I love reacting in the moment. It was fun when he came in to record. A lot of the times, the best, most funniest takes are the first or maybe the second. It wants to feel like it's now, it's happening in this moment." Watch the full Jost-penned rap song and the behind-the-scenes footage above. Saturday Night Live returns with a new episode with host (and first-time musical guest!) Timothée Chalamet on Sat. Jan 25.

- Kate Middleton reveals she is in remission from cancer: 'I remain focused on recovery'
Kate Middleton is on the road to recovery. The royal revealed she is officially in remission from cancer in a post to the official Prince and Princess of Wales Instagram account on Tuesday. She first revealed her diagnosis in March 2024. "It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery," she wrote. "As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support." The Princess accompanied the post with images from her first official engagement of the year - a visit to London's Royal Marsden Hospital. "I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year," she began the post. "My heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have quietly walked alongside [Prince William] and me as we have navigated everything." Sign up for Entertainment Weekly's free daily newsletter to get breaking TV news, exclusive first looks, recaps, reviews, interviews with your favorite stars, and more. The March announcement of Middleton's diagnosis quickly extinguished a firestorm of rumors that had whipped up about the health and well-being of the Princess. At the time, Middleton hadn't appeared in public since the previous Christmas. After the Associated Press had to take down a Mother's Day photo of Middleton and her family that was proven to be digitally altered, concern morphed into full-blown conspiracy theorizing. Stephen Colbert regrets Kate Middleton jokes before her cancer announcement, extends 'well wishes' Kate Middleton in 2025. Chris Jackson/Getty Middleton eventually revealed that a January 2024 abdominal surgery uncovered evidence of cancer, leading her medical team to advise preventative chemotherapy treatments. Celebrities from Blake Lively ("photoshop fail") to Andy Cohen ("That ain't Kate") who made jokes about Middleton's absence from the public eye issued apologies after the revelation of her diagnosis. She made her first public appearance following that disclosure in June at Trooping the Colour, a ceremonial parade in honor of King Charles' birthday. Shannen Doherty praises Kate Middleton's 'strength' following cancer diagnosis Middleton also took the opportunity of today's remission announcement to make a second announcement - "my new role as Joint Patron of The Royal Marsden." She expressed hope that her appointment to the position will "save many more lives, and transform the experience of all those impacted by cancer" by "supporting groundbreaking research and clinical excellence, as well as promoting patient and family wellbeing." In a second post from The Royal Marsden, Middleton meets with patients undergoing cancer treatments, praising in the caption "the work of a hospital that has done so much for so many."
- Blue Ivy joins mom Beyoncé as Simba and Nala's daughter in Mufasa — watch the first trailer
The pride of the Knowles-Carter empire is now the pride of Pride Rock. Blue Ivy Carter joins her mom, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter of Renaissance and Cowboy Carter fame, in the Lion King prequel Mufasa, Disney confirmed Monday with the release of the film's first trailer — which is similar to the footage screened in Las Vegas for CinemaCon earlier in April. Blue Ivy will voice the role of Kiara, the daughter of King Simba and Queen Nala, to be voiced again by Donald Glover and Beyoncé after the 2019 movie. Mufasa: The Lion King is told through flashbacks and framed around a story Rafiki (John Kani), Timon (Billy Eichner), and Pumbaa (Seth Rogen) tell a young lion cub about one of the Pride Lands' greatest kings. "A buddy of mine, Matthew Cherry, made the short film called Hair Love that Blue Ivy did the audio book of. Starting this project and just having that in the ether, I was like, 'Is it worth a shot? Would Blue Ivy want to do it? Would Beyoncé want to act opposite her daughter? Is it too close to home?'" Mufasa director Barry Jenkins tells Entertainment Weekly. "But once we put the question to them, they both responded with enthusiasm." In perhaps a coincidental turn, Blue Ivy appeared on stage during Beyoncé's Renaissance tour as a featured dancer during performances of the song "My Power," which was first introduced on the singer's The Lion King-inspired visual album The Gift in 2019. Were the mother-daughter duo secretly signaling to the public that they would re-team for Mufasa? "They are a lot smarter than me, and they have a lot more going on than me, so if they were signaling to people, all good, but it was not my intention. I just thought she would do a wonderful job," the Moonlight Oscar-winning filmmaker says. However, he admits the Renaissance tour happened after they worked on Mufasa together. Blue Ivy Carter joins her mom, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, on stage during the 'Renaissance' tour. Kevin Mazur/WireImage "What's crazy is we made the film, and then the Renaissance tour happened, and I think Blue really grew up over the course of that tour," he recalls. "So the Blue Ivy you see in this film, it's like a time capsule, this very, very, very young stage of her life, and she got to share it with her mom. So, I thought there was some synergy. It could be beautiful." Confirmed for the cast are Aaron Pierre as Mufasa; Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Taka (a.k.a. young Scar); Tiffany Boone as Mufasa's future queen, Sarabi; Kagiso Lediga as young Rafiki; Preston Nyman as Zazu; Mads Mikkelsen as Kiros; Thandiwe Newton as Taka’s mother, Eshe; Lennie James as Taka’s father, Obasi; and Disney's The Princess and the Frog veterans Anika Noni Rose and Keith David as Mufasa’s parents, Afia and Masego. Meanwhile, Lin-Manuel Miranda, who's been composing new tunes for various Disney films like Moana and the live-action Little Mermaid, was announced as the mystery music man behind the new songs coming to Mufasa: The Lion King. The core story — which Jenkins says is "building on the scaffolding of The Lion King that so many people know, both the 1994 film and the stage musical" — follows Mufasa who's taken in by Taka and his family. Long before he would be known as Scar, Taka was a young prince with a bright future who embraced Mufasa as his brother. Kiros also plays "a very big prominent part in this film," Jenkins says, as a formidable lion with big plans for his pride. The filmmaker declines to elaborate. To put it bluntly, he says, "I'm trying not to get fired." A young Mufasa in 'Mufasa: The Lion King'. Disney "What I loved about the script was it went into that place where you can really understand how a person becomes the person that they grow up to be," Jenkins explains. "Seeing Scar as a cub and being like, 'Yo, I kind of like that guy,' it just did something to my brain. The other element of it was, I've always been obsessed with why we place people on pedestals, whether it's kings, presidents, queens, prime ministers, whatever it is." In a roundabout way of talking about Mufasa: The Lion King, Jenkins references poet and essayist Ocean Vuong (Time Is a Mother, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous), who previously spoke about the differences in language. "He's Vietnamese and was talking about how writing his poetry, writing his long-form fiction in English is interesting because he'll think of things in both languages, especially when he thinks of his mother," the director says. "He said that, in his language, 'mother' isn't just this word. You aren't just a mother. You are 'mothering.' In this film, what we uncover is that you're not just a king, you are a king. You are that thing by living out the principles of it, by really embodying it. Simba had to learn that journey in the OG film, and it's quite radical the ways in which Mufasa has to chart a similar journey, but with very different circumstances." Mufasa: The Lion King will open in theaters this Dec. 20. Watch the trailer above. Want more movie news?

- Killers of the Flower Moon stars Lily Gladstone, Leonardo DiCaprio honor Native American tribes on red carpet
Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone, the stars of Killers of the Flower Moon, honored the Native American tribes at the center of the historical drama with their red carpet fashion at the 2024 Golden Globes. "The Osage Nation, we're standing in unison with them for this movie," DiCaprio told Entertainment Tonight reporter Rachel Smith during the red carpet pre-show. Gladstone told Smith that her earrings were a Blackfeet design made by Lenise Omeasoo of Antelope Women Designs, while DiCaprio wore a pin with the symbol of the Osage Nation on the lapel of his Armani tux. "I have my Osage pin on tonight," he said proudly. Lily Gladstone and Leonardo DiCaprio. Jon Kopaloff/WireImage Gladstone, who grew up on a Montana Blackfeet reservation, is a Golden Globe nominee for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama for her role as Mollie Burkhart, an Osage woman who owns significant mineral rights in 1920s Oklahoma. DiCaprio plays Gladstone's husband and is nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama. This marks the Titanic actor's 14th Golden Globe nomination. Killers of the Flower Moon is also nominated for Best Motion Picture — Drama, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Score, with Martin Scorsese earning a Best Director nod and Robert De Niro picking up a nom in the category of Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture. The film is based on David Grann’s 2017 nonfiction book Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, about the systemic murders of members of the Osage Nation by a political boss and the victims' own white family members. Scorsese, who lost in the directing category to Oppenheimer filmmaker Christopher Nolan, worked with members of the Osage Nation to center the Indigenous experience in the film's narrative.

- Timothée Chalamet wants a musical cinematic universe with his Bob Dylan and Austin Butler's Elvis
Timothée Chalamet wants a little more action from Austin Butler's Elvis. While promoting Dune: Part Two, Chalamet confessed to NME and Butler that he really wants Butler's version of Elvis Presley (as seen in 2022's Elvis) to pop up in his own upcoming musical biopic about Bob Dylan. After admitting that he'd asked his Dune: Part Two costar for a ton of tips on portraying a famous rock star, Chalamet told Butler about his dream. "I'm deep in the Bob Dylan lore and he had tremendous respect for Elvis and Sun Records," Chalamet said. "I wish you were in it! There’s an Elvis character in the Johnny Cash biopic [Walk the Line]. It’s really brief, it’s very brief, but I was kind of wishing we could create a musical cinematic universe.” “It's so cool to discuss process and work through things. I can’t wait for that film,” Butler added. “I wish I could be on set every day to just watch the magic happen.” Austin Butler and Timothee Chalamet. Victor Chavez/Shutterstock Just as Butler did as Elvis (and earned an Oscar nomination for it), Chalamet will do his own singing for the role in the forthcoming Dylan biopic from director James Mangold (Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny). The film is rumored to take place in 1965, centering on the moment when Dylan transitioned from his folk roots to a more rock and roll sensibility, sparking outrage from some of his fans. According to Mangold, the biopic will feature Dylan "being embraced into the family of folk music in New York and then, of course, kind of outrunning them at a certain point as his star rises so beyond belief. It's such an interesting true story and about such an interesting moment in the American scene. Different characters from Woody Guthrie to Bob Dylan to Pete Seeger to Joan Baez — they all have a role to play in this movie." So why not add Elvis to that mix? The movie isn't scheduled to begin filming until August so there's still time to get Butler back in the jumpsuit. C'mon Austin, do the voice. Even if you will need help to get rid of it.

Voiceover from Gerard Butler's Stoick the Vast also teases what director, writer, and producer Dean DeBlois calls the "expanded mythology" fans can expect from the remake. "We're all descendants of the finest dragon fighters from everywhere the Vikings have ever traveled," Stoick can be heard saying. "These beasts are a threat to all of our lives." "The expanded mythology of this particular take is that the Vikings had gathered the best dragon-fighting warriors from everywhere they had traveled, which was far and wide, and so they've come to this island with purpose, which is different from the animated movie where they just happened to be there," DeBlois tells Entertainment Weekly. Mason Thames and Nico Parker in 'How to Train Your Dragon'. Universal Pictures How to Train Your Dragon live-action trailer recreates Toothless and Hiccup's first meeting In this case, they long ago moved to the island of Berk because the Vikings know it's within spitting distance of a key dragon's nest. "It benefits all of their tribes and cultures if they can deal with the dragon menace, but they've been very unsuccessful at it for generations, so it puts more pressure on Stoick's reign as chief and his hapless son that constantly makes it more difficult," the three-time Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner adds. It also explains how different cultures come to be represented in the film, as evident in everything from the textiles to the clothing design and weaponry used. "Berk is less just a Viking village and more like a collection of warriors under the Viking banner, and it allows for characters of different ethnicities to naturally populate the island — they've been the best of those who came together originally," DeBlois says. Like the beloved original animated trilogy, the live-action How to Train Your Dragon follows Hiccup (Mason Thames), the inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast, who defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society.

Universal Pictures See who's playing who in the How to Train Your Dragon live-action film The trailer also features more from the fierce and ambitious Astrid (Nico Parker), who helps Hiccup confront a world torn by fear and misunderstanding (and who plays a bigger role here than in the original). The film also stars Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2), Gabriel Howell (Bodies), Bronwyn James (Wicked), Harry Trevaldwyn (Smothered), Ruth Codd (The Midnight Club), BAFTA nominee Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Murray McArthur (Game of Thrones).

The project is part of the Filmed For IMAX Program, which offers filmmakers IMAX technology to help them deliver the most immersive movie experience to audiences around the world. Chris Sanders and DeBlois co-directed and co-wrote (alongside Will Davies) the original 2010 film How to Train Your Dragon, with DeBlois helming and writing the 2014 and 2019 sequels solo. Each of the films in the series was Oscar-nominated in Best Animated Feature, and grossed an eye-popping $1.6 billion at the global box office. How to Train Your Dragon flies into theaters June 13.

- See every contestant who advanced on The Voice season 27 — and which celeb coach's team they're on
The competition to find The Voice of season 27 is in full swing, after the conclusion of the show's signature Blind Auditions. Coaches Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé, John Legend, and Adam Levine are seated in the red chairs this season, which just premiered in February but has already offered some shining moments. Viewers have watched as Levine returned to the NBC reality competition for the first time since 2019, when he took a break to spend time with his family. While his friendly rival Blake Shelton isn't on the panel anymore, the other coaches are keeping him on his toes. Country star Ballerini, meanwhile, had served as a mentor before and filled in for coach Kelly Clarkson, but this is her inaugural season as a coach — with a spinning chair, that is. Ballerini was the "fifth coach" in season 15 for the competition's "Comeback Stage" digital series, in which she met with six Blind Auditions artists who didn't get chair turns and competed for a spot in the top 13 Live Shows. 'The Voice' season 27 coaches Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé, Adam Levine, and John Legend. Trae Patton/NBC Former coach Reba McEntire is cheering on Ballerini, who found a note from McEntire in the Feb. 3 premiere. "Dear Kelsea, I heard you would be the new coach this season, and I'm just so excited for you," the "Fancy" artist wrote. "It's up to you to keep country alive on the show, and I know you'll do a terrific job." She advised Ballerini to "go out there and show those boys who's the boss." Now that all four coaches have assembled their teams of 12, they'll take them through Battle Rounds next. The contestants who made the cut will be advised by recognizable names in the Battles, including Cynthia Erivo (Team Bublé), Little Big Town (Team Kelsea), Coco Jones (Team Legend), and Kate Hudson (Team Adam).

- The Voice contestant's rendition of Taylor Swift song stuns coaches: 'I will be your fan'
If you're going to sing a song by Taylor Swift on The Voice, you'd better bring it. That was the message that coaches Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé, John Legend, and Adam Levine had for contestant Tori Templet, who sang Swift's 2019 track "Lover" Monday on the last night of the show's signature Blind Auditions. And they thought the 24-year-old from Atlanta truly did. Making a song from Swift your own is "one of the hardest feats," first-season coach Ballerini told the singer after her performance. "And you have such a unique voice. I listen to that song differently, and your voice made me do that. I will be your fan on this show." While Ballerini didn't turn her chair for Templet, the contestant had her choice of the two coaches who did: Bublé and Levine. (Legend had already filled up the 12 spots on his team when she took the stage.) See every contestant who advanced on The Voice season 27 — and which celeb coach's team they're on Bublé complimented Templet on the "breathy" quality of her voice, and said that he selfishly wanted to hear her do some jazz. Levine agreed that she had talent, but he had other ideas about where she should direct it. He noted that he had been impressed when he turned around and saw her playing the guitar as well as singing. "The purity and the simplicity of what you do is something that I think is really lacking," Levine told Templet. "There's something about your voice, too, where I start thinking Cranberries, and I'm thinking Sundays and you know, like, Mazzy Star, who was a band from the ’90s. I'm hearing that in your voice, and that's a lane that we get to have, that gets to be ours." Michael Bublé's attempt to lure The Voice contestant with surprise trophy blows up in his face Not only did Templet know of those acts, she's a fan. She joined Team Adam, the second-to-last contestant to do so. Another singer who covered a high-profile artist was not as fortunate. Cornelius Versa, a 35-year-old from Detroit, sang Elvis Presley's rousing "Burning Love," but he failed to turn any chairs. Realistically, his chances were lower from the start, because Levine was the only coach with any spots left on his team. Michael Buble, Kelsea Ballerini, and Adam Levine on 'The Voice'. Trae Patton/NBC Bublé offered his comments anyway: "For me, the comparison of Elvis Presley was just hard." Levine advised Versa that he should focus more on his vocals than his movement, since the coaches can't see what he's doing. "I genuinely believe that you have that kind of voice where, if you come back and you were to do something that gave you the room to sing more than perform it," Levine said, "I really think that that would go a long way for you."

The contestants who did make the cut will be moving on to the next round, the Battles, where they will be advised by recognizable names. Cynthia Erivo (Team Bublé), Little Big Town (Team Kelsea), Coco Jones (Team Legend), and Kate Hudson (Team Adam) will step in to help. 'The Voice' Battles begin Monday, March 10 at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT on NBC.
- The 25 best Whitney Houston songs, from deep cuts to chart-toppers
We will always love the Prom Queen of Soul. One of the most-awarded female artists ever — with more than 400 accolades, including six Grammys — Whitney Houston's acclaim stems not only from possessing one of the most singular, spectacular voices in pop music history but also from cultivating an expansive and high-quality discography. From her debut in 1984 to her death at age 48 on Feb. 11, 2012, the New Jersey-born singer recorded 200-plus songs, leaving behind decades-worth of high notes that still resonate with her fans and future generations (proved by her status as the highest-paid dead female celebrity, as of 2023). From deep cuts like "One of Those Days" to ageless numbers such as "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)," here are the 25 best Whitney Houston songs. 25. "When You Believe" (1998) Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston perform 'When You Believe' during the 71st Academy Awards on March 21, 1999. TIMOTHY A. CLARY/AFP via Getty While not exactly cross-generational (only seven years separate them), this duet between Houston and Mariah Carey from the animated film The Prince of Egypt felt like the passing of a torch. The movie (and the song) weren't particularly memorable — though Ariana Grande and Cynthia Ervio may argue otherwise, as the Wicked costars performed the duet at the 2024 Met Gala — but "When You Believe" is noteworthy merely for bringing together two of the most head-spinning vocal talents pop music has ever known. 24. "Same Script, Different Cast" (2000) Deborah Cox and Whitney Houston performing 'Same Script, Different Cast' during the Arista Records' 25th Anniversary Celebration. Chris Haston/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty This song is as if the "boy" from the Brandy and Monica duet "The Boy Is Mine" grew up into a cad, burned Whitney, and took up with Deborah Cox. And girlfriend is pissed: "Enjoy it now 'cause it won't last/Same script, different cast," Whitney purrs. Fun fact No. 1: "Same Script, Different Cast" samples the third song that everybody who's ever taken piano lessons learned to play — Beethoven's "Für Elise." Fun fact No. 2: It spawned a host of dance remixes; the "Victor Romeo Slang Vocal Mix" is required treadmill listening. 23. "All the Man That I Need" (1990) Whitney Houston in the music video for "All the Man That I Need". Whitney Houston/YouTube Houston took what had been a minor R&B hit for Sister Sledge and turned it into yet another No. 1. Her celebration of finding a love that didn't have "to hurt to turn out right" gave hope to forlorn singletons everywhere. 22. "All at Once" (1986) Whitney performing 'All at Once' at Wogan in 1986. Whitney Houston/YouTube Over a quiet keyboard line, Houston mourns a relationship that is finally irrevocably over. 21. "Saving All My Love for You" (1985) Whitney Houston in her music video for 'Saving All My Love for You'. Whitney Houston/YouTube Houston's guy has other priorities — and a wife. She knows she shouldn't be last on his list, but she swears she'll wait for him to leave his lady, 'cause he's worth it. The stuff that's been piped into thousands of dentist offices, was also her first No. 1 hit. 20. "Love Will Save the Day" (1988) Whitney Houston performs on stage at Wembley Arena, London, on May 15, 1988. Graham Wiltshire/Getty Though the single broke her streak of consecutive No. 1's, the Miami bass and spicy horns on this high-BPM dance-pop workout pointed to Houston's willingness to experiment and evolve. Do we need a Whitney Houston biopic? With I Wanna Dance With Somebody, the answer is complicated 19. "One of Those Days" (2002) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'One of Those Days'. Whitney Houston/YouTube An underrated single off an underrated album. Houston gave her listeners an instruction manual for pampering themselves in the Sex and the City era: "Light the candles, aromatherapy/Hot tub bubbles surrounding me/Mr. Big is in the background/The Isley Brothers gonna hold it down." Not so coincidentally, the Isley Brothers' iconic 1983 jam "Between the Sheets" provided the song's backbone. 18. "I'm Your Baby Tonight" (1990) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'I'm Your Baby Tonight'. Whitney Houston/YouTube Houston greeted the new decade by changing her sound. Producers Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and L.A. Reid prodded her in a grittier, more street-oriented direction, but even in that altered (and frankly, less vocally demanding) setting, her voice remained a technical marvel. 17. "Million Dollar Bill" (2009) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'Million Dollar Bill'. Whitney Houston/YouTube It failed to catch fire on the mainstream charts, but the Alicia Keys-co-penned single from Houston's final studio album was a sweetly saucy celebration of feeling like hot currency in the right relationship, with a thrumming bassline and a climbing "oh whoa whoa" chorus. 16. "Didn't We Almost Have It All" (1987) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'Didn't We Almost Have It All'. Whitney Houston/YouTube So transformative was Houston's voice that she was able to make lite-FM ballads like this one sound effortlessly rich and melancholic, and send them directly to the top of the Hot 100. 15. "It's Not Right but It's Okay" (1999) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'It's Not Right but It's Okay'. Whitney Houston/YouTube The anthem for anyone done wrong by a two-timing man. Is he forgiven? He is not. But will they move on, and eventually triumph? You bet your cheating, no-good heart. Just make sure you leave your keys by the door on your way out. 14. "One Moment in Time" (1988) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'One Moment in Time'. Whitney Houston/YouTube The 1988 Seoul Olympics needed an anthem, and Houston rose to meet the challenge with this majestic carpe diem chest-thumper. The song — a staple of sports montages — yielded one of Houston's all-time best performances at the 1989 Grammys ceremony. 13. "Step by Step" (1997) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'Step by Step'. Whitney Houston/YouTube The Preacher's Wife 1996 remake wasn't a masterpiece, but for gospel lovers, its soundtrack was: It became the best-selling gospel album of all time, moving some 6 million copies. And its Annie Lennox-penned second single — an ode to not biting off more than you can chew, set to a churchy dance beat — peaked at a respectable No. 15 on the pop charts. 12. "Greatest Love of All" (1986) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'Greatest Love of All'. Whitney Houston/YouTube Sure, the production is dated — oh, those tinkly Casio chords! — but her inspirational ballad was an adult-contemporary touchstone for a reason, and even inspired an especially memorable monologue from Christian Bale's yuppie sociopath in the 2000 film American Psycho. 11. "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" (1988) Whitney Houston performing 'Where Do Broken Hearts Go' at Wogan, 1988. Whitney Houston/YouTube "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" actually went to a lot of places — including the top of Billboard's Hot 100. This searching ballad made Houston the first artist to land seven straight No. 1 songs: an astonishing record that still stands. Most memorable Super Bowl national anthem performances, from Whitney Houston to Lady Gaga 10. "You Give Good Love" (1985) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'You Give Good Love'. Whitney Houston/YouTube This pretty bedroom ballad — the first big single from her debut — proved that soulful R&B and Top 40 pop can be hard to tell apart when the lights are off. 9. "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" (1995) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'Exhale (Shoop Shoop)'. Whitney Houston/YouTube Perhaps knowing that it would be unjustly compared with the mammoth Bodyguard soundtrack, Houston was determined not to record new songs for Waiting to Exhale. But producer Babyface persuaded her to lend her voice to this warm, simple groove. And wisely: "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" became only the third single in history at the time to debut atop the Billboard Hot 100. 8. "I'm Every Woman" (1993) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'I'm Every Woman'. Whitney Houston/YouTube Houston took the Chaka Khan original out of the disco era and transported it into early-'90s R&B funkland. It wasn't the biggest hit off the album — there was that Dolly Parton cover you may have heard of — but it's the most irresistible. By the time the last chorus kicks in, even the most Y-chromosome-laden among us were name-checking Chaka and singing along. 7. "I Have Nothing" (1993) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'I Have Nothing'. Whitney Houston/YouTube This steadily escalating stunner put the "power" in power ballad, allowing all of Houston's lyrical self-doubt and pathos to erupt into sonic tidal waves of goosebump-worthy bombast. 6. "So Emotional" (1987) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'So Emotional'. Whitney Houston/YouTube "I don't know why I like it/I just do," Houston giggles at the top of this giddy confession of a first-blush crush, which illuminated a naughtier, more rollicking side of the sweet-faced starlet. Ain't it shocking what love can do? “So Emotional” circled back into popularity in a big way 30 years later with a huge bump in Spotify streams after Sasha Velour iconically lip-synced to it on the season 9 finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race, culminating in an outpouring of rose petals from under her wig. Whitney: Ranking every song on Whitney Houston's seminal 1987 album 5. "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" (1987) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)'. Whitney Houston/YouTube A spirited descendant of "How Will I Know," this triumphant summer single met the gold standard of '80s pop, inspiring TIME magazine to crown her "The Prom Queen of Soul." And the music video, showcasing a shimmying, bow-bedecked Houston who just wanted to have some fun and "feel the heat with somebody," became an indelible clip of the era. 4. "My Love Is Your Love" (1999) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'My Love Is Your Love'. Whitney Houston/YouTube Many had already written off Houston as past her career prime when she released My Love Is Your Love, her first studio album in eight years. But this gorgeously syncopated soul-pop lullaby — featuring a sweet cameo ("Sing, Mommy") from her then-toddler daughter, Bobbi Kristina — rightfully went on to become her third-most-successful single ever, and redefined her for a younger generation. 3. "How Will I Know" (1985) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'How Will I Know'. Whitney Houston/YouTube While it was first offered to Janet Jackson, the fifth single off Houston's debut album ended up being exactly the sort of buoyantly dancey hit — hey there, sax solo! — that the young woman until then known primarily for stately ballads needed to be a true pop crossover star. And if you haven't heard the remarkable vocals-only version, go listen right now. No really, go. We'll wait for you. 2. "The Star-Spangled Banner" (1991) Whitney Houston sings the national anthem at Super Bowl XXV on January 27, 1991. Michael Zagaris/Getty Perhaps the most iconic, chills-inducing version of the national anthem ever rendered, it was also the only one to chart as a top 20 hit...twice. Her powerhouse performance at Super Bowl XXV stirred the patriotism of a country in the midst of the Gulf War, and did so again in the wake of 9/11; in both cases, Houston donated her share of profits from the song to those serving in the armed forces. 1. "I Will Always Love You" (1992) Whitney Houston in the music video for 'I Will Always Love You'. Whitney Houston/YouTube The song that went on to become a defining highlight of Houston's career almost never happened at all. Originally, the then 28-year-old was slated to cover Jimmy Ruffin's early Motown hit "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" for the soundtrack of The Bodyguard, in which she also had her first major film role. It was her costar, Kevin Costner, who suggested she take on Dolly Parton's plaintive 1974 country ballad instead. (Against the record company's wishes, Houston and Costner fought to keep the extended a cappella intro, and won.) Her gospel-tinged reworking of the song — a towering showcase for the singer's phenomenal three-octave range — was an immediate global smash, topping the charts in 16 countries, and spending a record-shattering 14 weeks at No. 1 in the U.S.
- Watch SNL's Kenan Thompson and Marcello Hernández perform rap written by Colin Jost — plus behind-the-scenes footage (exclusive)
An unlikely trio of Saturday Night Live stars is teaming up to sell some phone plans. Entertainment Weekly can exclusively debut a new T-Mobile ad featuring Kenan Thompson and Marcello Hernández performing a rap written by none other than Colin Jost, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of the recording process. The commercial, which will air during an ad break of Saturday's Timothée Chalamet-hosted episode of SNL, sees Thompson and Hernández in pink-and-black outfits singing (er, rapping) the praises of T-Mobile's Magenta Status rewards program. "You know, every day, billions of people ask me, 'Kenan, what's your favorite wireless phone company that's not even a wireless phone company — it's a way of life?'" Thompson says at the beginning of the ad. "And I say, 'Hush! Listen to the song.'" Paige DeSorbo shares SNL star Marcello Hernández's reaction to cheating rumors about them: 'F--- yeah!' In their recitation of Jost's lyrics, Thompson and Hernández go on to enumerate the perks of the company's loyalty program, including VIP entrances at select entertainment venues, in-flight wi-fi connection, and "hotel costing less-a." Hernández compares the company to "a red light, anti-aging therapy" mask and says that it's "so precious it's delivered by a seasoned midwife." (Shout-out to Jost for these evocative bars.) Sign up for Entertainment Weekly's free daily newsletter to get breaking TV news, exclusive first looks, recaps, reviews, interviews with your favorite stars, and more. In the behind-the-scenes footage, SNL music director Eli Brueggemann breaks down the process of crafting the song. "I got a voice memo from Colin Jost, a couple music directions. It's got like a little bit of that kind of West Coast swagger," he explains. "I wanted to use analog synthesizer-kinda technology, but I also wanted to make it kinda classic and sorta timeless, like Kenan." Scarlett Johansson wants Colin Jost to sell Staten Island ferry for scrap metal: 'Help our family!' Brueggemann, who has worked on the show since 2011, says that the T-Mobile tune harkens back to the style of his earlier SNL work. "It draws on a lot of the same sorta sounds that we used back in the 2010s music videos, like 'Sump'n Claus' and 'Twin Bed,'" he says. "I love that era." Kenan Thompson. SNL/Youtube Thompson minimizes his involvement in the recording process. "It was like a rap that felt familiar," he says. "I was there for two seconds. That's how good it all feels. Semi felt guilty about being in and out so quick, but nah, I was in and out quick." SNL star Tim Meadows sets record straight after Kenan Thompson called him a 'Harvard guy' in memoir Brueggemann also reflects on collaborating with Hernández. "I love working with Marcello," he says. "He's just a ball of energy and coming up with new stuff all the time. I love reacting in the moment. It was fun when he came in to record. A lot of the times, the best, most funniest takes are the first or maybe the second. It wants to feel like it's now, it's happening in this moment." Watch the full Jost-penned rap song and the behind-the-scenes footage above. Saturday Night Live returns with a new episode with host (and first-time musical guest!) Timothée Chalamet on Sat. Jan 25.

- Kate Middleton reveals she is in remission from cancer: 'I remain focused on recovery'
Kate Middleton is on the road to recovery. The royal revealed she is officially in remission from cancer in a post to the official Prince and Princess of Wales Instagram account on Tuesday. She first revealed her diagnosis in March 2024. "It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery," she wrote. "As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support." The Princess accompanied the post with images from her first official engagement of the year - a visit to London's Royal Marsden Hospital. "I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year," she began the post. "My heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have quietly walked alongside [Prince William] and me as we have navigated everything." Sign up for Entertainment Weekly's free daily newsletter to get breaking TV news, exclusive first looks, recaps, reviews, interviews with your favorite stars, and more. The March announcement of Middleton's diagnosis quickly extinguished a firestorm of rumors that had whipped up about the health and well-being of the Princess. At the time, Middleton hadn't appeared in public since the previous Christmas. After the Associated Press had to take down a Mother's Day photo of Middleton and her family that was proven to be digitally altered, concern morphed into full-blown conspiracy theorizing. Stephen Colbert regrets Kate Middleton jokes before her cancer announcement, extends 'well wishes' Kate Middleton in 2025. Chris Jackson/Getty Middleton eventually revealed that a January 2024 abdominal surgery uncovered evidence of cancer, leading her medical team to advise preventative chemotherapy treatments. Celebrities from Blake Lively ("photoshop fail") to Andy Cohen ("That ain't Kate") who made jokes about Middleton's absence from the public eye issued apologies after the revelation of her diagnosis. She made her first public appearance following that disclosure in June at Trooping the Colour, a ceremonial parade in honor of King Charles' birthday. Shannen Doherty praises Kate Middleton's 'strength' following cancer diagnosis Middleton also took the opportunity of today's remission announcement to make a second announcement - "my new role as Joint Patron of The Royal Marsden." She expressed hope that her appointment to the position will "save many more lives, and transform the experience of all those impacted by cancer" by "supporting groundbreaking research and clinical excellence, as well as promoting patient and family wellbeing." In a second post from The Royal Marsden, Middleton meets with patients undergoing cancer treatments, praising in the caption "the work of a hospital that has done so much for so many."
- Blue Ivy joins mom Beyoncé as Simba and Nala's daughter in Mufasa — watch the first trailer
The pride of the Knowles-Carter empire is now the pride of Pride Rock. Blue Ivy Carter joins her mom, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter of Renaissance and Cowboy Carter fame, in the Lion King prequel Mufasa, Disney confirmed Monday with the release of the film's first trailer — which is similar to the footage screened in Las Vegas for CinemaCon earlier in April. Blue Ivy will voice the role of Kiara, the daughter of King Simba and Queen Nala, to be voiced again by Donald Glover and Beyoncé after the 2019 movie. Mufasa: The Lion King is told through flashbacks and framed around a story Rafiki (John Kani), Timon (Billy Eichner), and Pumbaa (Seth Rogen) tell a young lion cub about one of the Pride Lands' greatest kings. "A buddy of mine, Matthew Cherry, made the short film called Hair Love that Blue Ivy did the audio book of. Starting this project and just having that in the ether, I was like, 'Is it worth a shot? Would Blue Ivy want to do it? Would Beyoncé want to act opposite her daughter? Is it too close to home?'" Mufasa director Barry Jenkins tells Entertainment Weekly. "But once we put the question to them, they both responded with enthusiasm." In perhaps a coincidental turn, Blue Ivy appeared on stage during Beyoncé's Renaissance tour as a featured dancer during performances of the song "My Power," which was first introduced on the singer's The Lion King-inspired visual album The Gift in 2019. Were the mother-daughter duo secretly signaling to the public that they would re-team for Mufasa? "They are a lot smarter than me, and they have a lot more going on than me, so if they were signaling to people, all good, but it was not my intention. I just thought she would do a wonderful job," the Moonlight Oscar-winning filmmaker says. However, he admits the Renaissance tour happened after they worked on Mufasa together. Blue Ivy Carter joins her mom, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, on stage during the 'Renaissance' tour. Kevin Mazur/WireImage "What's crazy is we made the film, and then the Renaissance tour happened, and I think Blue really grew up over the course of that tour," he recalls. "So the Blue Ivy you see in this film, it's like a time capsule, this very, very, very young stage of her life, and she got to share it with her mom. So, I thought there was some synergy. It could be beautiful." Confirmed for the cast are Aaron Pierre as Mufasa; Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Taka (a.k.a. young Scar); Tiffany Boone as Mufasa's future queen, Sarabi; Kagiso Lediga as young Rafiki; Preston Nyman as Zazu; Mads Mikkelsen as Kiros; Thandiwe Newton as Taka’s mother, Eshe; Lennie James as Taka’s father, Obasi; and Disney's The Princess and the Frog veterans Anika Noni Rose and Keith David as Mufasa’s parents, Afia and Masego. Meanwhile, Lin-Manuel Miranda, who's been composing new tunes for various Disney films like Moana and the live-action Little Mermaid, was announced as the mystery music man behind the new songs coming to Mufasa: The Lion King. The core story — which Jenkins says is "building on the scaffolding of The Lion King that so many people know, both the 1994 film and the stage musical" — follows Mufasa who's taken in by Taka and his family. Long before he would be known as Scar, Taka was a young prince with a bright future who embraced Mufasa as his brother. Kiros also plays "a very big prominent part in this film," Jenkins says, as a formidable lion with big plans for his pride. The filmmaker declines to elaborate. To put it bluntly, he says, "I'm trying not to get fired." A young Mufasa in 'Mufasa: The Lion King'. Disney "What I loved about the script was it went into that place where you can really understand how a person becomes the person that they grow up to be," Jenkins explains. "Seeing Scar as a cub and being like, 'Yo, I kind of like that guy,' it just did something to my brain. The other element of it was, I've always been obsessed with why we place people on pedestals, whether it's kings, presidents, queens, prime ministers, whatever it is." In a roundabout way of talking about Mufasa: The Lion King, Jenkins references poet and essayist Ocean Vuong (Time Is a Mother, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous), who previously spoke about the differences in language. "He's Vietnamese and was talking about how writing his poetry, writing his long-form fiction in English is interesting because he'll think of things in both languages, especially when he thinks of his mother," the director says. "He said that, in his language, 'mother' isn't just this word. You aren't just a mother. You are 'mothering.' In this film, what we uncover is that you're not just a king, you are a king. You are that thing by living out the principles of it, by really embodying it. Simba had to learn that journey in the OG film, and it's quite radical the ways in which Mufasa has to chart a similar journey, but with very different circumstances." Mufasa: The Lion King will open in theaters this Dec. 20. Watch the trailer above. Want more movie news?

- Killers of the Flower Moon stars Lily Gladstone, Leonardo DiCaprio honor Native American tribes on red carpet
Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone, the stars of Killers of the Flower Moon, honored the Native American tribes at the center of the historical drama with their red carpet fashion at the 2024 Golden Globes. "The Osage Nation, we're standing in unison with them for this movie," DiCaprio told Entertainment Tonight reporter Rachel Smith during the red carpet pre-show. Gladstone told Smith that her earrings were a Blackfeet design made by Lenise Omeasoo of Antelope Women Designs, while DiCaprio wore a pin with the symbol of the Osage Nation on the lapel of his Armani tux. "I have my Osage pin on tonight," he said proudly. Lily Gladstone and Leonardo DiCaprio. Jon Kopaloff/WireImage Gladstone, who grew up on a Montana Blackfeet reservation, is a Golden Globe nominee for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama for her role as Mollie Burkhart, an Osage woman who owns significant mineral rights in 1920s Oklahoma. DiCaprio plays Gladstone's husband and is nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama. This marks the Titanic actor's 14th Golden Globe nomination. Killers of the Flower Moon is also nominated for Best Motion Picture — Drama, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Score, with Martin Scorsese earning a Best Director nod and Robert De Niro picking up a nom in the category of Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture. The film is based on David Grann’s 2017 nonfiction book Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, about the systemic murders of members of the Osage Nation by a political boss and the victims' own white family members. Scorsese, who lost in the directing category to Oppenheimer filmmaker Christopher Nolan, worked with members of the Osage Nation to center the Indigenous experience in the film's narrative.

- Timothée Chalamet wants a musical cinematic universe with his Bob Dylan and Austin Butler's Elvis
Timothée Chalamet wants a little more action from Austin Butler's Elvis. While promoting Dune: Part Two, Chalamet confessed to NME and Butler that he really wants Butler's version of Elvis Presley (as seen in 2022's Elvis) to pop up in his own upcoming musical biopic about Bob Dylan. After admitting that he'd asked his Dune: Part Two costar for a ton of tips on portraying a famous rock star, Chalamet told Butler about his dream. "I'm deep in the Bob Dylan lore and he had tremendous respect for Elvis and Sun Records," Chalamet said. "I wish you were in it! There’s an Elvis character in the Johnny Cash biopic [Walk the Line]. It’s really brief, it’s very brief, but I was kind of wishing we could create a musical cinematic universe.” “It's so cool to discuss process and work through things. I can’t wait for that film,” Butler added. “I wish I could be on set every day to just watch the magic happen.” Austin Butler and Timothee Chalamet. Victor Chavez/Shutterstock Just as Butler did as Elvis (and earned an Oscar nomination for it), Chalamet will do his own singing for the role in the forthcoming Dylan biopic from director James Mangold (Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny). The film is rumored to take place in 1965, centering on the moment when Dylan transitioned from his folk roots to a more rock and roll sensibility, sparking outrage from some of his fans. According to Mangold, the biopic will feature Dylan "being embraced into the family of folk music in New York and then, of course, kind of outrunning them at a certain point as his star rises so beyond belief. It's such an interesting true story and about such an interesting moment in the American scene. Different characters from Woody Guthrie to Bob Dylan to Pete Seeger to Joan Baez — they all have a role to play in this movie." So why not add Elvis to that mix? The movie isn't scheduled to begin filming until August so there's still time to get Butler back in the jumpsuit. C'mon Austin, do the voice. Even if you will need help to get rid of it.

Peeks at many more winged beasts and several key moments from the animated original appear here in all their live-action glory, including: The young Vikings learning to fight dragons in the ring, Hiccup's first encounter and unsuccessful hunting of Toothless, their emotional first connection, and their epic first flights together. The massive big bad dragon known as Red Death also gets notable screen time, in the clip, below. Voiceover from Gerard Butler's Stoick the Vast also teases what director, writer, and producer Dean DeBlois calls the "expanded mythology" fans can expect from the remake. "We're all descendants of the finest dragon fighters from everywhere the Vikings have ever traveled," Stoick can be heard saying. "These beasts are a threat to all of our lives." "The expanded mythology of this particular take is that the Vikings had gathered the best dragon-fighting warriors from everywhere they had traveled, which was far and wide, and so they've come to this island with purpose, which is different from the animated movie where they just happened to be there," DeBlois tells Entertainment Weekly. Mason Thames and Nico Parker in 'How to Train Your Dragon'. Universal Pictures How to Train Your Dragon live-action trailer recreates Toothless and Hiccup's first meeting In this case, they long ago moved to the island of Berk because the Vikings know it's within spitting distance of a key dragon's nest. "It benefits all of their tribes and cultures if they can deal with the dragon menace, but they've been very unsuccessful at it for generations, so it puts more pressure on Stoick's reign as chief and his hapless son that constantly makes it more difficult," the three-time Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner adds. It also explains how different cultures come to be represented in the film, as evident in everything from the textiles to the clothing design and weaponry used. "Berk is less just a Viking village and more like a collection of warriors under the Viking banner, and it allows for characters of different ethnicities to naturally populate the island — they've been the best of those who came together originally," DeBlois says. Like the beloved original animated trilogy, the live-action How to Train Your Dragon follows Hiccup (Mason Thames), the inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast, who defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society.
