Bowen Yang has Ariana Grande’s back. While reviewing the pop star’s new album Eternal Sunshine on his Las Culturistas podcast Wednesday (March 13), the Saturday Night Live cast member took a moment to defend his friend from monthslong speculation about her relationship with Wicked costar Ethan Slater.
“The narrative is wrong,” Yang said frankly in conversation with his co-host Matt Rogers. “[Grande’s] not even outwardly saying that, but the narrative has been incorrect. People have even retracted things in these stories with no f—king apology to the people who are involved.”
“I can tell you for a fact that what people out there seem to be clinging on to is incorrect,” added the comedian, who stars in the upcoming Wicked films alongside Grande and Slater. “A media narrative can be completely consuming and devastating and frustrate you to no end because of how wrong it is. Pushing absolute falsehoods — I’m sorry, it is a really f—king disorienting thing to experience. “
Trending on Billboard
Reports of the “Yes, And?” singer’s romance with Slater first emerged just days after news of her split from husband Dalton Gomez broke in July. Soon afterward, the SpongeBob SquarePants Broadway star’s estranged wife, Lilly Jay — with whom he shares a young son — told Page Six that Grande was “the story” behind her breakup from Slater, adding that the pop star is “not a girl’s girl.”
In September, Grande filed for divorce from Gomez, two months after Slater and Jay filed. (She and Gomez settled their split in October.) Both TMZ and People have reported from the beginning that the Wicked stars’ romance began after both of their previous relationships ended.
“If you think this invites karma, I’m here to tell you, your set of facts – I’m not going to reveal the actual facts, because they’re not mine to reveal,” Yang continued on the podcast. “But I can say that the matrix of information that you are using to draw a line to the karmic outcome you want is not existent.”
Grande herself touched on her recent experiences with the rumors surrounding her relationship with Slater in an interview leading up to her new album’s March 8 release. “We don’t need to go into any specifics, but of course there’s an insatiable frustration, an inexplicable hellish feeling with watching people misunderstand the people you love, and you,” she said on The Zach Sang Show.
About Eternal Sunshine – on which Grande seemingly shuts down the rumors on songs such as “True Story” — Yang noted, “She could’ve very easily made this a Reputation [by Taylor Swift] album, an album that was like, ‘F–k you, I’ve been completely misunderstood’ … Instead, it’s this very fragile, delicate work.”

Funko is releasing a new collection of Pop! Vinyls inspired by the characters from Saltburn. The collectible figurines, announced on Monday (March 11), depict Jacob Elordi’s character, Felix Catton, and Barry Keoghan’s character, Oliver Quick.
The Felix Funko Catton Pop! is 4-inches tall and wears a white tank top with jeans and angle wings and what looks like a beer bottle in its hand.
Trending on Billboard
The Oliver Quick Funko Pop! vinyl stands at 5.25 inches tall and comes decked out in a white suit and antlers, inspired by the outfit worn at Oliver’s Midsummer Night’s Dream-themed birthday party in the film. Both Funko Pop! vinyls retail for $12.
Funko’s Saltburn Pop! vinyls were released on Thursday, March 13, at 9 a.m. PT via Funko.com and will likely be available at major retailers like Amazon at a later date. For now, fans can sign up to receive a notification when the Funkos are ready to order.
Saltburn, a dark comedy-thriller starring Elordi, Keoghan, Rosemund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Alison Oliver and Archie Madekwe was written, directed by Oscar-nominee Emerald Fennell, best known for her feature film directorial debut, Promising Young Woman.
Saltburn, which arrived in theaters last November before premiering on Prime Video the following month, is produced by Fennell, Margot Robbie and Josey McNamara.
In creating the film, Fennel drew inspiration from various movies and novels such as A Clockwork Change, Cruel Intentions, the 1938 novel, Rebecca, and The Go-Between released in 1953.
“Well, to me, Oliver’s profoundly in love with Felix,” Fennels explained in an interview with GQ. “The first thing he says is he wasn’t in love with him. And we know that’s a lie. And the film shows us that’s a lie, and to what degree that is a lie he tells himself, I don’t know, or he’s just, you know, telling Elspeth and us. I always think that this film was just the result of what happens when you don’t get loved back. If he’d loved him back, none of this would ever have happened. I mean, of course it would, but it’s to me about that feeling of loving someone who won’t, or can’t, love you back.”
This latest collaboration adds to a growing list of Saltburn-inspired gear including the viral Bathwater candle, Saltburn posters, T-shirts, car accessories and other items.

Soundcore by Anker P20i headphones are a solid choice for budget shoppers, and they’re on sale for $19.99. As one Amazon shopper put it, “They fit perfectly and the sound quality is amazing.”
If you’re looking for earbuds that won’t fall out, these comfortable earbuds are designed to stay put during your commute and your workout. They offer up 30 hours of playtime in the charging case, and 10 hours on a single charge.
The earbuds feature 10mm dynamic drivers to deliver rich, well-balanced sound. Bluetooth 5.3 technology helps ensure a stable connection for clear, skip-free music, and the earbuds are fast charging (10 minutes gets 90 minutes of play time).
These true wireless earbuds are outfitted with AirWings with a hollow, silicone build that deflates and conforms to the shape and size of your ears. The earbuds have an IPX5 waterproof rating, which means that they can handle rain and workout conditions, but they’re not designed for showering or swimming, and you don’t want to wear them in a sauna or a stream room.
You can pair them with your iPhone or Android for a perfectly immersive listening experience, while you travel to your spring break destination.
If you’re looking for earbuds under $20, the Toxo A1 Mini wireless buds are 50% off at Amazon, which drops the price down to $15.29.
