Taylor Swift may be music’s boss bunny when it comes to burrowing those Easter eggs for us to dig out and dissect — a tunneling trend that will no doubt continue when she drops “The Tortured Poets Department” on April 19 — she isn’t the only superstar singer playing hide and seek with their fans.Indeed, heavy hitters such as Ariana Grande, Kacey Musgraves and Justin Timberlake have turned their new albums — “Eternal Sunshine,” “Deeper Well” and “Everything I Thought It Was,” respectively — into a veritable hunting ground for the pastel-colored dish as we head into Easter weekend.On “Eternal Sunshine” — her seventh studio album, which had the highest debut of 2024 and remained at No. 1 in its second week on the Billboard 200 — the perpetually ponytailed diva is on the divorce come-up after her split from real estate agent Dalton Gomez, who she married in 2021.And there are also lyrical clues about her “Thank U, Next” relationship with her “Wicked” co-star Ethan Slater.

Apples Never Fall Book vs Series: All the Major Differences Between the Peacock Show and Liane Moriarty's Novel
Apples Never Fall is that perfect binge that mixes all the elements of a New York Times best-selling book (by , in this case) with an appealing cast (Annette Bening, Sam Neill, , …) and edge-of-your-seat, clever twists. But striking the right tone for Apples Never Fall, the series, while rearranging the book format was a high-wire act that only Moriarity (who is also an excutive producer) and showrunner/EP Melanie Marnich could have pulled off.“Any book worth its salt is going to be a tough adaptation because of the bounty of material but also its complexity," Marnich tells Glamour.

‘Dune Part 2’: 7 key differences between the film and the book
The much anticipated cinematic release of the second part of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune has finally arrived, and it was indeed worth the wait. The first film took the world by storm and made a new generation fall in love with Frank Herbert’s science fiction space opera, which was no mean feat considering that the source material is notoriously complex, filled with strange concepts and dense foreign political intrigue. This was the main factor in the failure of David Lynch’s 1984 Dune film. But not only did Villeneuve succeed where others had failed, he managed to craft a cinematic masterpiece that was commendably faithful to the book upon which it was based. Now that Villeneuve’s second Dune film, which covers the second half of the book, has been released we are pleased to say that it is yet another astounding piece of science fiction cinema.
