Ferrell plays the Ghost of Christmas Present and Reynolds portrays Clint Briggs, a Scrooge-like character who turns the tables in this new take on the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol.
The Ghost of Christmas Present chooses a “dark soul” to reform every year on Christmas Eve, but he soon finds out that transforming Briggs into a “more positive force for humanity” is easier said than done.

Happily ever after? Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey add a new chapter to the fairytale in Disenchanted.
The sequel to Disney’s Enchanted, premiering on Disney+ on Friday (Dec. 18), picks up 15 years after the original with Giselle and Robert married and raising a family in New York City.
Giselle feels disconnected from city life, so the family moves to a suburban town of Monroeville, in hopes of finding a new “fairytale life.” When the change of location doesn’t play out the way she envisioned, Giselle turns to magic and mistakenly transforms the town into a “real-life fairytale” gone wrong. Now, Giselle must reverse the spell and “determine what happiness truly means to her and her family.”

NKOTB released their breakout album, Hangin’ Tough, in 1988.

Earlier this year, the group hit the road for the Mixtape Tour alongside Salt-N-Pepa, Rick Astley and En Vogue, before setting sail with fans on the four-night NKOTB Cruise last month.
Block Nation has long been waiting for NKOTB to join Blink-182, TLC, BTS and other music groups and recording stars that have their own collectible figures. There’s even a petition urging Funko to release NKOTB Pop! vinyls.

Harry Styles had the crowd at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum in the palm of his hand Friday (Nov. 11). During his Love on Tour concert, one fan convinced the 28-year-old pop star to make a huge announcement on her behalf — reveal the sex of her baby on the way — and he absolutely reveled in creating suspense before delivering the news.

“She’s about to do the single hardest thing in the world there is to do,” Styles began. “I’m sure it’s going to be fine — the most beautiful thing there is to do in the world!”
The Grammy winner also checked with the fan named Sydney on how far along she was: four months. “Are you sure you want me to do this?” he continued. “Los Angeles, this is a Friday night you will never forget.”
“Can I please get some tense gender reveal music,” he added to his band. Slyly twirling and dancing around the stage, Styles had his audience contribute to the anticipation by leading them in a round of “Ooooohs.”
“I know something you don’t know!” he teased. “What do you want it to be? OK, here we go. This is … very nice. Something for the fourth album, perhaps.”
“This is called edging,” he said, drawing out the moment once again, before finally announcing the news. “It’s … a … girl!”
The “As It Was” singer has been stationed at the Forum for about three weeks, performing a residency of 15 shows at the venue in support of his May-released third studio album Harry’s House. One could argue, though, that he’s now beginning a residency of conducting reveals for parents-to-be, as he did a second one just one night after Sydney’s.
On Saturday (Nov. 12), an expectant mom once again asked an obliging Styles to reveal her baby’s sex. “‘Tis the season for gender reveals, we had one last night!” he proclaimed, taking a sealed envelope from the fan named Shawna.
Once again, Styles drew out the suspense for as long as he could.
“How much longer would you like me to make this go on for?” he asked Shawna. “It’s a girl!”

The sold-out Blink-182 Funko Pop! collector’s set is back in stock and available for pre-order. Funko’s Blink-182 vinyl figurines were initially released in August to celebrate the punk-pop band’s 30th anniversary.
The Funko set, inspired by the “What’s My Age Again?” music video, features Pop! vinyls of Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker and Tom DeLonge rocking out in their birthday suits. Each vinyl figure stands approximately 3.75 to 4.4. inches tall and includes mini instruments.
The Dream Setlist for Blink-182’s Reunion Tour
11/11/2022
The one-of-a-kind collectible sold out over the summer, but it’s back in stock in time for the holiday season. The set is priced at $30-$40, depending on the retailer.
Fans can pre-order the Funko set at Amazon (it’ll be released on Dec. 16), as well as Funko.com, GameStop and Entertainment Earth.
“What’s My Age Again?” was the lead single from Blink-182’s third studio album, Enema of the State, released in 1999. The Southern California band, founded in 1992, released their debut LP, Chesire Cat, in 1995, but they didn’t hit it big until Enema of the State. The album spawned two additional hit singles, “All the Small Things” and “Adams Songs” and went on to sell 15 million copies worldwide.
Blink-182’s follow-up album, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 200 and has sold more than 14 million copies globally.
DeLonge eventually left the band but Hoppus and Barker continued touring, replacing him with Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio. In October, Blink-182 reunited with DeLonge, released a new single “Edging” and announced a reunion tour launching next year along with a new album. The world tour kicks off in Tijuana, Mexico, in March and will hit the U.S. in May. Click here to buy tickets.

The fourth iteration of Rihanna‘s Savage x Fenty Show Vol. 4 premiered on Amazon Prime Video on Wednesday (Nov. 9), taking viewers on an ethereal, surreal experience — filming out in nature for the show — as she showed off her latest lingerie collection.

As is typical for RiRi, she’s not afraid to get creative. This year, she teamed up again with musical directors Omar Edwards and Adam Blackstone to create a lush musical landscape to capture her brand’s essence. “This year, specifically, the location made it different with being outside in nature,” Edwards tells Billboard of what made this year stand out compared to Savage x Fenty shows of the past. “Also, there was animation added so you’re adding all these different worlds into one things. There’s a live element, there’s scoring film to picture and you’re in nature. All of those things combined made it super unique.”
When asked if the combined landscapes and digital elements made the musical process more challenging, Blackstone laughs that working with a mastermind like Rihanna is “never easy,” as she is always trying to go bigger and better with every fashion show. “She has the power to inspire you to do things that are outside the norm,” he explains.
“Look at the brand, we have all shapes and sizes, all colors, people who are handicapped, some with ailments and she empowers women and men to be their authentic self,” he continues. “For me and Omar, she does the same with us musically. She empowers us to be ourselves and push the envelope. She then supports us so strongly that we feel comfortable trying things and making mistakes and knowing that it’s coming from a place of wanting to see her win because she wants to see the whole team win. The inspiration now is, ‘Yo, we can go on the mountain and do whatever.’ She literally made that happen, got us to the mountain top.”
As for where they see Savage x Fenty fashion shows going in the future, Edwards and Blackstone say that the sky is the limit — literally. “We’ll be in space next time, bro,” Edwards jokes to Blackstone, who responds, “It would not surprise me if we had Vol. 7 on the moon. If anyone can do it, it’s our Rihanna.”
“There are no boundaries when it comes to her and her creativity,” Blackstone adds. “The team that she has assembled, it sounds cliché and churchy, but we know all things are possible when it comes to her. If she has an idea, it pushes us to execute it without limits. I don’t know if we can pinpoint and say ‘This is where it can go’ because it has the ability and the power to go anywhere.”
Savage x Fenty Vol. 4 is now streaming on Prime Video.

Since retiring from boxing with a 50-0 record in 2017, Mayweather has participated in multiple exhibition bouts.
When it comes to reach, height, and weight, the 45-year-old boxing champion is pretty evenly matched against 25-year-old Olatunju, who hails from London. Despite Mayweather’s extensive boxing career and perfect record, Olatunju isn’t feeling any “pressure,” his coach, Daley Peralis, said in an interview according to the U.K. Mirror.
Elsewhere on the fight card, Tommy Fury and Paul Bamba will go head-to-head in a co-main event. According to Fite TV, the fight card will include Delfine Persoon vs. Ikram Kerwat, Bobby Fish vs. Boateng Agyemang Prempeh, Jack Fincham vs. Anthony Taylor, Harley Benn vs. Faizan Anwar, Jadier Herrera vs. Franklin Manzanilla, and J’Hon Ingram vs. Koji Tanaka.
