Taylor Swift‘s future mother-in-law is getting into the biz. Travis Kelce‘s mom, Donna Kelce, makes a brief appearance in the first trailer for the upcoming fourth season of the hit reality show The Traitors. The series hosted by Broadway veteran Alan Cumming dropped a 90-second trailer for the fourth go-round of the Emmy-winning competition series on Tuesday (Nov. 11) in which reality stars descend on a castle in the Scottish highlands, with a group of “Traitors” facing off against the “Faithful” in a bid to win a $250,000 prize.

“All the world’s a stage and all the people merely players,” Cumming intones with hokey gravitas in an invitation to the fresh crew of reality stars via Shakespeare’s famous As You Like It quotable quote. With the dramatic music swelling, we then meet the cutthroat competitors one-by-one. There’s One Tree Hill‘s Stephen Colletti, the Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s Porsha Williams and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna, who promises, “I think I’m gonna play this game in a way that maybe no one’s ever played it.”
Among the other contestants are Natalie Anderson and Rob Cesternino (Survivor), Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho (Survivor 44), Mark Ballas (Dancing With the Stars 5) and Kelce, who is viewed briefly in the intro and, lacking reality show bona fides, identified as “Mama” Kelce. The matriarch of the legendary football family and mother of Jason Kelce and younger brother Chiefs tight end, and Swift fiancé Travis Kelce, looks menacingly at the camera as her profile is reflected in a round mirror in the background.
She’ll be facing off against Real Housewives of Potomac cast member Candiace Dillard Bassett, actor/comedian Ron Funches, Love Island UK 5‘s Maura Higgins, Top Chef‘s Kristen Kish, professional figure skaters Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir, RuPaul’s Drag Race star Monét X Change, actor Michael Rapaport, The Bachelorette‘s Colton Underwood and Real Housewives of New York‘s Dorinda Medley.
“No baby, I came to be treacherous, shady and win this money. Okay?” warns Change. While many of the contestants offer up glimpses of their planned treachery or make ominous threats, Kelce keeps her powder dry in the preview, not uttering a single word.
Kelce was once a mild-mannered football mom, but since her youngest son began dating Swift in 2023 she has stepped into the spotlight, frequently getting airtime during games alongside the pop superstar in the family’s luxury box as well as appearing in two Hallmark Channel holiday films last year, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story and Christmas on Call.
The 23 famous folks will face off on The Traitors U.S. beginning on Jan. 8 on Peacock.

Chalamet plays the role of Marty Mauser, who’s an aspiring table-tennis player who will do anything to make his professional ping-pong dreams come true. The film is loosely based on the life of world champion table-tennis player Marty Reisman.
Tyler’s character seems to be a friend of Chalamet’s Marty in the film, helping him on his journey to stardom as a sidekick. The Grammy-winning rapper makes multiple appearances in this trailer, the first of which show him with a bloody nose playing against Marty in a game of ping-pong.
“The Mouse is back, baby, yeah,” Tyler’s character shouts in another scene while driving with Marty. To close out the high-octane clip, the rapper makes a final return to bring some comedic relief as he hops out of the car to dance with Marty on the side of the road.
Marty Supreme has generated quite a bit of Oscars buzz ahead of its Christmas Day release. The cast is rounded out by Penn Jillette, Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary (Mr. Wonderful) and Abel Ferrara.
Safdie held a surprise screening with the cast at the 63rd New York Film Festival in October, where the film received a standing ovation from the audience members. At the time, Tyler got on the mic and explained to the crowd why he was “beyond grateful” to the director for believing in him as a first-time actor.
“Thank you to you, Josh. Please make the biggest noise for this man,” Tyler said. “I’m so grateful, beyond grateful. I play piano and put on cool clothes. I do not act at all.”
He continued: “This man is so good that I trusted him and said, ‘Anything you need. I don’t want to read this script. I will show up and be there.’ Because I trust this man and the way he curated and handled every detail. And the team, working with y’all, it was so wonderful. I got emotional up there because you gave me a chance, so I thank you, I love you, and thank you. Please give it up.”

Country contestant Kayleigh Clark brought a dose of nostalgic flair to The Voice Season 28 Knockouts on Monday night (Nov. 10), choosing LeAnn Rimes’ “Blue” as her signature moment — and showcasing vocal control and emotional maturity far beyond her years.

Representing Team Niall, the Mississippi-born singer leaned into the classic 1996 ballad’s rich heritage and signature yodels, aiming to evoke the same impact Rimes had when she first hit the charts at just 13. Clark’s interpretation kept things classic while still highlighting her own vocal colour and delivery, earning her a wave of praise from coaches Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg, and Michael Bublé.
“Kayleigh, that was wonderful,” McEntire said after the performance. “Your yodels were really, really perfect.”
Ahead of the performance, Clark received guidance from “mega mentor” Joe Walsh (Eagles), who advised her to trust her breath control and not be intimidated by the climactic high notes. That note paid off. Clark’s delivery was confident, polished and emotionally resonant — drawing clear comparisons to early-2000s country stars while asserting her place as a rising voice in the genre.
Still, it was a tough matchup. Clark was paired against DEK of Hearts, a sibling trio who brought their own emotional harmonies to Lady A’s “What If I Never Get Over You.” While coach Niall Horan admitted it was a “50-50” decision, he ultimately gave the win to DEK — and used his new “Mic Drop” power to fast-track them to a Rose Parade performance slot, a new Season 28 twist voted on by the public.
“You both killed it,” Horan told his team. “Kayleigh, you took all of Joe’s notes on board and smashed it. That wall of sound DEK brings is beautiful, but your solo tone was just as impactful.”
He added, “This is a complete 50-50, I have no idea what I’m gonna do.”
Though she didn’t advance, Clark’s performance stood out as one of the night’s most technically challenging and emotionally compelling. Viewers have already begun rallying for her return via a potential Wildcard or coach save in future episodes.
Season 28 of The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays on NBC, with episodes streaming next-day on Peacock.

Charli xcx contributed a handful of songs to the soundtrack for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights film, and the first of the batch arrived on Monday (Nov. 10) with “House.”
An accompanying ominous “House” visual directed by Mitch Ryan (he also helmed Charli’s “Party 4 U” video) was released alongside the spooky single and features a guest appearance from Velvet Underground’s John Cale.
The eerie clip features narration from Cale as Charli awakens in a gloomy house and pours hot candle wax on her body. The scene pivots to a raven flying into one of the home’s bedrooms while the British pop star and Cale duet in a demonic tone: “I think I’m gonna die in this house.”
Dramatic strings reach a crescendo and Charli xcx unleashes a frightening scream while repeating, “I think I’m gonna die in this house.” “In every room, I hear silence,” Cale says to close out the visual. Charli moves from the home to lying on her back in a white dress on a pile of leaves in the barren woods.
It’s a stark pivot from the amusing chaos of the Brat world, showcasing Charli’s range as she continues to make her presence felt in Hollywood.
The 33-year-old released a statement explaining her involvement in the soundtrack and the origin of “House,” which she describes as “elegant and brutal.”
“I got a call from Emerald Fennell last Christmas asking whether I would consider working on a song for her adaptation of Wuthering Heights,” she said. “I read the script and immediately felt inspired so Finn Keane and I began working on not just one but many songs that we felt connected to the world she was creating. After being so in the depths of my previous album I was excited to escape into something entirely new, entirely opposite. When I think of Wuthering Heights I think of many things. I think of passion and pain. I think of England. I think of the Moors, I think of the mud and the cold. I think of determination and grit.”
Charli continued: “A few years ago I watched Todd Haynes’ documentary about The Velvet Underground. As many of you know I’m a huge fan of the band and was really taken by the documentary. One thing that stuck with me was how John Cale described a key sonic requirement of The Velvet Underground. That any song had to be both ‘elegant and brutal.’ I got really stuck on that phrase. I wrote it down in my notes app and would pull it up from time to time and think about what he meant.”
“When working on music for this film, ‘elegant and brutal’ was a phrase I kept coming back to. One day whilst on tour in Austin, Finn and I went to the studio and wrote the bones for a song that would eventually become “House.” When the summer ended I was still ruminating on John’s words. So I decided to reach out to him to get his opinion on the songs that his phrase had so deeply inspired, but also to see whether he might want to collaborate on any.”
“We got connected, we spoke on the phone and wow … that voice, so elegant, so brutal. I sent him some songs and we started talking specifically about ‘House.’ We spoke about the idea of a poem. He recorded something and sent it to me. Something that only John could do. And it was … well, it made me cry.”
“I feel so lucky to have been able to work with John on this song. I’ve been so excited to share it with you all, sitting quietly in anticipation. And on Monday, it’s yours.”
Wuthering Heights is set to hit theaters on Feb. 13. Fennell’s adaptation of Emily Brontë’s gothic novel stars Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie. Charli xcx will also star in A24’s The Moment in early 2026, which is the first project coproduced by her Studio365 venture.
The Essex native is booked and busy on the film side, as she’s notched roles in Daniel Goldhaber’s remake of Faces of Death as well as I Want Your Sex, The Gallerist, 100 Nights of Hero and Sacrifice.

KPop Demon Hunters may very well be taking home some golden gramophones soon, and Lizzo is celebrating with a “Golden” cover of the film’s biggest hit — flute style, of course.
On Saturday (Nov. 8), the hitmaker shared an Instagram video of herself playing a lively classical rendition of eight-week Billboard Hot 100-topper “Golden” on her signature instrument, the trilling melody soaring over a lush string accompaniment provided by the Australian Pop Quartet. “‘GOLDEN’ (Sasha’s version),” Lizzo wrote in her caption, referencing the Beyoncé-inspired name she gave her trusty woodwind long ago (Sasha Flute).
She added, “congrats to @kpopdemonhuntersnetflix on all ur Grammy noms!”
The post came just one day after the Recording Academy unveiled nominations for next year’s awards, revealing that KPop Demon Hunters is up for a total of four prizes. “Golden” accounts for three of those nods, earning recognition in the song of the year, best pop duo/group performance and best song written for visual media categories.
In an interview with Billboard shortly after the nominations went live, Audrey Nuna — one of three women who provided the singing voices for fictional KPop Demon Hunters girl group HUNTR/X — said that she and her costars’ “hearts [were] being pulled in so many different directions.”
“Above all, I think we’re just very, very, very grateful to be a part of what feels like a very cultural and historic moment, and something that, as kids, we would have we craved so bad to see,” she shared. “Being a part of it is just really surreal.”
Lizzo herself is a decorated Grammy veteran, earning her first three wins in 2019 — including for best pop solo performance for breakthrough hit “Truth Hurts.” In 2023, she took home record of the year for No. 1 Hot 100 hit “About Damn Time.”
The Yitty founder is now on her way to a new music era, dropping rap mixtape My Face Hurts From Smiling in June. She’d originally been planning to release an album called Love in Real Life, but recently explained why she’s since shelved the project. “I’ve changed, the world has changed so much, and so much has happened,” she told New York magazine in September. “It just wasn’t what I was feeling right now. I was like, ‘I need to do s–t differently and I don’t know what it is, but I’m going to just start following my instincts.’”

Pete Davidson returned to Saturday Night Live for a surprise appearance on Nov. 8.
The comedian and actor, who was an SNL cast member from 2014 to 2022, crashed the “Weekend Update” segment to poke fun at a recent article about a decommissioned Staten Island ferry he purchased with Colin Jost in 2022. The two had planned to transform the vessel into an upscale entertainment venue.
“The New York Times recently ran an article calling the Staten Island Ferry that I purchased with Pete Davidson a ‘money-losing fiasco.’ With more on this, is Pete Davidson,” Jost said in introducing The King of Staten Island star.
“Colin, you’re looking great as ever. [Michael] Che, starting to crack,” Davidson joked, mentioning his recent appearance at the 2025 Riyadh Comedy Festival and that he’s expecting his first child.
“So yeah, in case you’re wondering why I had to do a show in Saudi Arabia, we’re losing millions on this ferry,” he continued. “I assume that’s what the article says. I can’t spend $5 on a paywall when I got a kid on the way.”
Davidson and Jost then continued trading jokes about the 2,109-ton ferry, which they bought at a New York auction for $280,100.
“We even gave the boat a new name,” Davidson said. “We thought the Staten Island Ferry sounded too depressing, so now it’s called the Titanic 2.” Jost added, “That’s right, and it’s actually going very well. Recently, we got paid by Nike to put an ad on it for the New York City Marathon.”
Earlier on Saturday, Davidson told People that he’d “do anything” for SNL boss Lorne Michaels, saying he’d return to the show if asked.
“I had a great time hosting last time, and anytime you get that call, it’s an honor and a privilege,” the eight-season SNL vet said. “It’s always relevant, it’s a hot show. People look forward to it, and the cast is great.”
Saturday’s episode was hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, with singer-songwriter Sombr serving as the musical guest.

The legacy of iconic Mexican singer-songwriter Juan Gabriel was celebrated in an unprecedented and massive event that brought together 170,000 people on Saturday (Nov. 8) night at Mexico City’s Zócalo, according to figures from the capital’s government. Fans gathered to watch the screening of the first concert the late “Divo de Juárez” performed at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in 1990.
This marked the second time that one of the three concerts the legendary artist held at Bellas Artes during his career was screened in the country’s main public square. A similar event held in September 2024, when a projection of his 2013 performance at Mexico’s premier cultural venue, drew 70,000 fans.
Saturday’s screening set a new global attendance record for an in-person fan event organized by Netflix, according to the streaming platform, which partnered with the capital’s Secretariat of Culture to host it at the same public space where, 25 years earlier, the legendary artist held a free concert for thousands of fans.
The screening of Juan Gabriel’s debut performance at Bellas Artes was part of Netflix’s promotion for its new docuseries Juan Gabriel: I Must, I Can, I Will (Juan Gabriel: Debo, Puedo y Quiero), which premiered on Oct. 30.
The event, which at times felt like an actual concert due to the audience’s enthusiasm, became a journey back in time to revisit the historic performance of the singer, which took place 35 years ago and sparked controversy due to his desire to perform at Mexico’s most prestigious cultural venue as a popular artist.
From early hours, fans of all ages and from all corners of Mexico, Juan Gabriel impersonators, and special guests gathered in the Zócalo — or Plaza de la Constitución — with posters, T-shirts, and outfits inspired by the legend. The artist’s son, Iván Aguilera, was also present to celebrate his father’s legacy, as well as the docuseries director María José Cuevas and producers Laura Woldenberg and Ivonne Gutiérrez, who also sang and danced alongside the attendees.
José Luis Flores, a man in his 40s from the neighboring State of Mexico, proudly displayed a tattoo on his chest featuring the late singer’s image. “I waited for him for more than four hours after a concert — this is my greatest treasure,” the man told Billboard Español.
Classic hits from Juanga’s discography, such as “Hasta Que Te Conocí,” “Querida,” “Amor Eterno,” and “Por Qué Me Haces Llorar,” moved the audience to tears, creating an intimate and nostalgic atmosphere. After the screening, the Mariachi Estrella de América performed on stage a setlist of Juan Gabriel’s hits, followed by a fireworks display that lit up every corner of the square, honoring the life, talent, and music of the Mexican singer-songwriter. Juan Gabriel died on August 28, 2016, at his home in Santa Monica, Calif., of natural causes, in the middle of a concert tour. He was 66.
Inducted into the Billboard Hall of Fame in 1996, he built a legacy as a multifaceted artist over more than four decades, recording songs in genres as diverse as ranchera, ballad, pop, and bolero, and producing for other artists. Among his many achievements, he sold over 150 million records, wrote more than 1,800 songs, released 34 studio albums, was nominated for six Grammy Awards, won three posthumous Latin Grammys, and saw more than 20 of his hits reach the top 10 on the Billboard charts, including seven No. 1s on Hot Latin Songs. His hit “Yo No Sé Qué Me Pasó” inaugurated the first edition of that chart in 1986, at No. 1.
