Argylle was trending when it opened in theaters thanks to its star-studded cast (and cat). But even before the film hit theaters, Swifties were speculating that Taylor Swift secretly wrote the novel under a pseudonym (though director Matthew Vaughn quickly shut down the rumors).

Viewers will follow Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard), a bestselling author of espionage novels about the irresistible secret agent Argylle (Henry Cavill) — and a proud cat-lover. When she discovers her novels are mirroring the exact actions of a real-life spy organization, she goes on her own adventure with the help of a feline-hating spy Aidan. The two must try to stay one-step ahead of the syndicate’s assassins while also working together to prevent a global crisis from occurring.

Howard said she used Swift as her inspiration for her character Elly as she tried to channel her “unapologetic dorkiness,” the actress described in an interview with People.

Lipa, meantime, stars as the hypnotic LaGrange, who can be seen within the trailer dancing with agent Argylle. Other cast members also include Catherine O’Hara, Sam Rockwell, John Cena, Ariana DeBose, Samuel L. Jackson, Sofia Boutella, Bryan Cranston and Jing Lusi.

Ariana Grande Shares Selfies With ‘Wicked’ Co-Stars Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh & Ethan Slater: ‘My Loves’

Ariana Grande is dancing through life as she begins the promotional cycle for Wicked.

Two months after the project’s first trailer premiered during the 2024 Super Bowl in February, the pop star and her castmates debuted an exclusive first look at the live-action duology at this year’s CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Wednesday — after which she shared a handful of sweet photos with Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh and more on Instagram.

Kicking off her post with a pair of glamour shots, Grande elegantly models her Glinda-esque Oscar De La Renta dress — layered with pieces of pink fabric made to look like flower petals — in two photos from the event. The following snaps find the “Yes, And?” singer making kissy faces with Erivo, Bailey and Yeoh, as well as boyfriend Ethan Slater (who also co-stars in Wicked) and Jeff Goldblum. In one group shot, the whole Ozian gang poses for a mirror selfie at a makeup station backstage.

Grande also shared a video of her and Erivo introducing footage from Wicked onstage at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace during Universal Pictures’ Focus Features Presentation, speaking in front of a large crowd of fans armed with light-up wands. “When I was 10 years old, I saw Wicked on Broadway for the first time,” she says in the clip, earning laughs after following up with a joke: “It was only five years ago.”

Trending on Billboard

She and Erivo then joined hands and walked offstage, a photo of which the R.E.M. Beauty founder included in her post. “i am so incredibly giddy and lucky to be your sister,” Grande wrote of Erivo, also sharing the picture on her Story. “i cannot wait for every step of the way with you.”

Resharing another picture of her and Erivo with Bailey, Grande wrote, “my loves.”

The Grammy winner’s post follows a similar one from Goldblum, who posted a different angle of the group’s makeup mirror selfie and wrote, “Over the rainbow to be reunited with this magical family!”

Grande commented, “my heart !!!!!!!!!”

A separate fan video from the convention showed the singer and Slater holding hands as they walked through the venue, the SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical actor matching Grande in a pink shirt. The pair started dating while shooting Wicked in the U.K. last year, with Slater playing Boq, a munchkin boy who, ironically, has a crush on Grande’s Glinda.

The first of Jon M. Chu’s two-part film adaptations of the famed Stephen Schwartz musical — which itself was based on Gregory Maguire’s bestselling novel Wicked — arrives this Thanksgiving, with the second installment set to arrive a year later. In the meantime, Grande has been promoting her latest album Eternal Sunshine, which dropped March 8 and spent an immediate two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

And while Grande has seemingly shifted gears back to Wicked, the vocalist recently assured fans that the Eternal Sunshine era is far from over. “i cannot wait for everything that has yet to come within this eternal sunshine cycle (that has only just begun & may it never end),” she captioned a TikTok video of her recording vocals in the studio earlier this week. “thank you for your love.”

Kendrick Lamar’s Comedy With ‘South Park’s Trey Parker & Matt Stone Gets a Release Date

He already has a Pulitzer Prize and 17 Grammys to his name, but Kendrick Lamar could be adding a couple of new film awards to his crowded mantle soon. On the final day of CinemaCon (April 11), Paramount Pictures announced the new live-action comedy from Lamar and South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker begins shooting soon, and also revealed the release date.

“I’m excited to announce that we’re going into production this summer on a [comedy] from the creators of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker,” Paramount film chief Brian Robbins revealed to the audience about the currently untitled film, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “This script is one of the funniest and most original scripts we’ve ever read, and it’s certain to create some fireworks when it hits theaters on July 4, 2025.”

Trending on Billboard

The Independence Day theatrical release for the film is apt considering its plot. Previously announced in 2022, the upcoming movie will “depict the past and present coming to a head when a young Black man, who is interning as a slave re-enactor at a living history museum, discovers that his white girlfriend’s ancestors once owned his,” according to a press release at the time.

During the presentation, Robbins also confirmed that the movie is set to begin shooting this summer. Lamar, along with Grammy winner Dave Free, will produce the picture through pgLang, a multidisciplinary communications company specializing in music and visual media that the two founded in 2020. Stone and Parker will produce via Park County, a media and entertainment company the two Emmy winners founded in 2012.

While Stone and Parker — who have been dabbling in musicals since 1993’s Cannibal! The Musical — await the debut of season 27 of South Park, the official announcement of their forthcoming film with Lamar follows a particularly active few months for the “Humble” rapper.

In March, Lamar teamed up with Future and Metro Boomin for the Billboard Hot 100-topping “Like That,” which include a fiery verse that found him throwing direct shots at fellow blog era superstars Drake and J. Cole. That musical battle has dominated headlines since, with J. Cole responding (“7 Minute Drill) and quickly retracting his reply, while Drake continues to keep fans waiting for his response to Lamar’s call-outs.

Although Lamar boasts four consecutive Billboard 200 chart-toppers and an eye-popping 72 career entires on the Hot 100 — including the No. 1 singles “Humble” (one week), “Bad Blood” (with Taylor Swift, one week) and “Like That” (two weeks) — he’s not the only collaborator on the forthcoming film with some Billboard chart success. On the chart dated July 24, 1999, the South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut soundtrack peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard 200.

Selena Gomez’s New Movie ‘Emilia Pérez’ Will Premiere at Cannes Film Fest: ‘Beyond Grateful’

Selena Gomez is headed to France this spring. After the Cannes Film Festival revealed that its 2024 lineup includes Jacques Audiard’s upcoming film Emilia Pérez, in which the singer-actress stars, she excitedly confirmed the news and shared a few first-look posters for the project on Instagram.

“I’ve been waiting to show you guys this one!!” she wrote. “I’m beyond grateful Emilia Pérez, directed by Jacques Audiard, will premiere at @festivaldecannes in May!”

In one of the posters, Gomez rocks bleached short hair and a floral blazer, standing in a dark room dimly lit by colorful neon fixtures. A second portrait shows the “Love On” singer’s costar Karla Sofía Gascón, who leads the cast as the film’s titular role, shot from behind as she sits on a bed in a bra and skirt. A third finds Zoe Saldana striking a dynamic pose in a bright crimson pantsuit.

According to Variety, Emilia Pérez is a musical crime melodrama centered around Gascón’s character, a cartel leader who evades the law by having a sex change and, in doing so, embracing her true identity as a woman. Also on the docket for this year’s Cannes Film Festival are Yorgos Lanthimos’ Kinds of Kindness starring Poor Things‘ Emma Stone and Willem Dafoe; Paul Schrader’s Oh Canada featuring Richard Gere; Paolo Sorrentino’s Parthenope led by Gary Oldman; and Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance with Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley.

Auidard’s new film is just the latest onscreen endeavor Gomez has undertaken recently. The Rare Beauty founder is currently working on the fourth season of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building with costars Steve Martin and Martin Short, as well as co-producing a reboot of the Disney Channel series on which she got her start, Wizards of Waverly Place.

Of Course Prince Gave Animal Lover Nicole Richie Her First Dog… And of Course He Was Named ‘God’

You get to experience a lot of cool stuff when your dad is one of the biggest pop stars in the world. But Nicole Richie proved on Tuesday night (April 9) that the stars are not always just like us after all. Not even close.

Chatting with Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show in an appearance to promote her starring role in the remake of the 1991 comedy Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, avowed animal lover Richie ran down the list of her current and former favorite pets, including her new cat Lavender Bumblebee. The feline, of course, joins Nicole’s other favorite kitty, Tiger Lily Sprinkle Winks, who, she noted was initially “very upset” when LB came into the picture.

Richie also recalled her many trips to a pet store in L.A. with childhood bestie and reality TV co-star Paris Hilton to buy pet rats. “I don’t know why, I actually hate rats now,” she said of her expansive rat pack, all of whom were named after Beverly Hills 90210 characters. “So I don’t know why we were into them, but we were.” After rogue rat Tori Spelling ended up on her mom’s face one morning, the rats were out and Nicole moved on to her next obsession: Las Vegas-sourced ferrets.

Trending on Billboard

That was far from the wildest animal tale she told, though.

“Yes, Prince got me my first dog,” Richie told Fallon about the pooch the enigmatic late pop icon gave her when she was four. “I remember because the dog’s name was God. I did not name the dog, obviously.”

Richie said she was used to interactions with superstars on a regular basis from attending her dad Lionel Richie’s concerts as a kid, though she typically kept to the backstage area. “The first time that I went in the audience — I remember this so clearly — one of the Pointer Sisters was there,” Richie said, adding that the singer in question had a cute Yorkie with a pink bow in its hair at the gig. “She’s the one who brought me out into the audience for the first time.” Fallon then shared a recent video of Nicole and sister Sofia in the crowd at one of their dad’s shows losing their minds along with everyone else in the crowd.

Richie stars alongside June Squibb, Jermaine Fowler and Gus Kenworthy in the Babysitter reboot due out on Friday (April 12).

Ariana Grande Gets Cozy With Cynthia Erivo, Ethan Slater & More ‘Wicked’ Castmates at CinemaCon

Goodness knows, Ariana Grande has a lot of love for her Wicked castmates. The 30-year-old pop star joined Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum and Michell Yeoh in promoting the upcoming film duology at CinemaCon Wednesday (April 10) in Las Vegas, during which she posed for a set of sweet photos with the group backstage and walking around the event hand-in-hand with Ethan Slater. 

Wearing a swankified dress modeled after a delicate pink flower, Grande took the stage alongside Erivo to speak about the film for the convention’s Universal Pictures and Focus Features Presentation at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The “Yes, And?” singer plays Glinda and Erivo is Elphaba in Jon M. Chu’s two-part live-action adaptations of the Stephen Schwartz musical, which itself was based on Gregory Maguire’s bestselling novel. The first film premieres this Thanksgiving. 

Offstage, the R.E.M. Beauty founder and Erivo posed for a sweet mirror selfie at the makeup station with Goldblum, who portrays the Wizard of Oz in the films; Yeoh, aka Madame Morrible; Bailey, who plays Fiyero; and Slater, who appears as the munchkin Boq. Later, the Jurassic Park actor posted the snap, as well as another photo with Grande, on Instagram. 

Trending on Billboard

“Over the rainbow to be reunited with this magical family!” he captioned the post, under which the two-time Grammy winner commented, “my heart !!!!!!!!!” 

In a video taken at the convention, Grande and Slater — who started dating while shooting Wicked in the U.K. last year — walked through the venue together while holding hands, the SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical star matching his superstar girlfriend in a pink shirt. 

The film event comes just a few days after the “We Can’t Be Friends” artist supported Slater at his finale show for Spamalot on Broadway, after which fan videos captured the couple holding hands on their way out of St. James Theatre in New York City. Grande later wrote on Instagram Stories, “Congratulations to the most beautiful and talented and kindest cast and crew on a magnificent run.”

Watch Miley Cyrus Hilariously Introduce Joaquin Phoenix to His Future ‘Joker 2’ Co-Star Lady Gaga Way Back in 2010

If you saw the just-released first trailer forJoker: Folie à Deux, you already know that the titular Batman baddie terrifyingly embodied by Joaquin Phoenix has truly found his black heart’s true love in his infamous henchwoman Harley Quinn, played this time around by Lady Gaga.

And while Phoenix took home the best actor award at the 2020 Oscars for his first go-round in the smeared red lipstick, a newly resurfaced clip from 2010 proves that there was a time when Joaquin had no idea who Mother Monster was.

The chat between Miley Cyrus and Phoenix shared by the Miley fan account @MileyCyrusBz finds the Hannah Montana star giving her guest a grilling about the singer whose career was already in overdrive thanks to her 2008 breakthrough album, The Fame. After explaining to Phoenix that she’s a “singer-slash-actress” the then-18-year-old answered his question about what kind of dancing she does by saying it’s “like Lady Gaga.”

Trending on Billboard

“Oh Lady Gaga dance?” Phoenix responds quizically. “You know who Lady Gaga is?” Cyrus asks, sensing the answer already. “Very well,” Phoenix tells her, adding erroneously, “She has the song ‘Everybody Goes Up.’ She also does the one ‘Two Lashes at a Time.’”

“No,” Miley corrects her elder, busting into some hand dancing to “Bad Romance,” which Phoenix attempts to copy for a second before admitting “I don’t know that song.”

According to Uproxx, the clip is from the video “MILEY CYRUS TEACHES JOAQUIN PHOENIX & LIV TYLER How to Vote for TWLOHA and Suicide Prevention,” which was uploaded at the time to the YouTube account for the mental health non-profit To Write Love on Her Arms.

Phoenix, of course, is now well-acquainted with Gaga, who will join him on the big screen in the Joker sequel that opens on Oct. 4.

Peppa Pig Earns Her Stripes in Adorable New Cover of Katy Perry’s ‘Roar’: Watch

Peppa Pig may be a small pink barn animal, but she’s still the queen of the jungle.

Marking the cartoon protagonist’s first-ever cover song, Peppa will drop an adorable rendition of Katy Perry‘s “Roar” on Thursday evening (April 11) — because, as she puts it at the beginning of the song’s new lyric video shared exclusively with Billboard, “Even the littlest pig can have the loudest roar.”

The little British pig lets her small-but-mighty voice shine on her cover of “Roar,” which features short cameos from fellow Peppa Pig characters such as Zoë Zebra and Pedro Pony. In the lyric video, Peppa and her friends dress up as superheroes, face off with a fire-breathing dragon and swing from vine to vine in a rainforest inhabited by friendly monkeys.

“I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire/ ‘Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar,” she sings, adding at the end, “A little confidence goes a long way.”

Released in 2013 as a single from Prism, “Roar” spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — a feat Perry has accomplished nine times in her career. Prior to Peppa’s cover, Perry and her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, lent their voices to the characters Ms. Leopard and Mr. Raccoon in the three-part Peppa Pig Wedding Special. Offscreen, Perry and the Pirates of the Caribbean star are parents to 3-year-old daughter Daisy.

Trending on Billboard

Although “Roar” marks the first cover song Peppa has released, the animated star has previously shared music of her own. She’s dropped several albums, including her aptly named 2019 debut My First Album and is known for singles such as “Peppa’s Lullaby” and “Bing Bong Zoo.”

Watch the lyric video for Peppa Pig’s cover of “Roar” above.

For his late night spot, Boone lead a full a full backing band, a taste of the world tour that kicked off last week in Chicago.

“Man,” he told Billboard ahead of his current jaunt, “all I’ve been thinking about is the tour, and I’ll be going some places that I’ve never been before. But after the tour, and after all the shows, I’m really looking forward to just being with my friends. I think we’re gonna go on a trip to Greece and have two weeks and just live my life.”
