LE SSERAFIM member Yunjin has opened up about the subject matter of her next solo single, which she says is “about loving all the past versions” of herself.The Korean-American K-pop idol recently sat for an interview with NYLON, during which she opened up about her songwriting process, her inspirations and what is next for her growing solo discography.Yunjin revealed that her next song came about after “candid conversations” with HYBE founder and chairman Bang Si-hyuk, who suggested that she consider writing music about how she feels in the present.“A lot of music that I’ve written is about my past experiences. So when he was like, ‘What about talking about how you feel now?’ that was a really big question for me,” she told the outlet.
“Since then, I’ve been trying to be very present and sit with my feelings.”Although the vocalist did not go into heavy detail, she did mention that the song was written on a flight from South Korea to New York, when the group were scheduled for press opportunities in the US after the release of their English single ‘Perfect Night’.“It’s about loving all the past versions of myself and letting go of them, because they had to let go of themselves to be me,” Yunjin shared. More details regarding a release date and title for the track have yet to be announced by Source Music as of writing.‘Perfect Night’, released in October 2023, marked the five-piece’s first-ever English single.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Kristen Stewart‘s domination of the 2024 Sundance Film Festival continued at the Variety Sundance Cover Party presented by United Airlines, where Stewart was honored for her starring roles in two big festival premieres: “Love Me,” a post-apocalyptic romance film in which she stars opposite Steven Yeun, and “Loves Lies Bleeding,” an A24-backed crime thriller in which she played a reclusive gym manager who falls for a local bodybuilder. “It’s hard to get here,” Stewart told Variety at the party about returning to Sundance, where she has premiered more than a dozen movies throughout her career. “Not because it’s an established and elite film festival, but because it supports marginalized voices.

Addie Morfoot Contributor In 2013, Angela Patton gave a TEDWomen talk that described a father-daughter dance for incarcerated dads and their daughters. That talk was viewed over a million times and inspired the documentary “Daughters,” which has its world premiere Monday at the Sundance Film Festival. In the film, Patton, who in the past decade has helped arrange approximately 15 Daddy Daughter Dances across the nation, and co-director Natalie Rae follow four young girls preparing for the event with their fathers in a prison in Washington, D.C.

Katherine Heigl recreated a key scene from her 2008 movie “27 Dresses” at a 2024 Emmys after-party in LA on Monday night.Heigl, 45, who attended the ceremony as part of a “Grey’s Anatomy” reunion, took center stage in her long Reem Acre red gown at the after-party by swinging her hips and dancing solo to Elton John’s 1974 hit song “Bennie and the Jets.”In “27 Dresses,” in which she co-starred opposite James Marsden, Heigl’s character, Jane, and Marsden’s Kevin bond over their love for “Bennie and the Jets.” They then get up on a bar and sing along to the tune — leading the crowd in a jumbled sing-along (Jane is barefoot) and ending the iconic scene by kissing each other.Earlier in the scene, Jane and Kevin totally mix up the song’s lyrics — Jane says “She’s got electric boobs” instead of “She’s got electric boots” — adding to the couple’s joy in their barroom.Heigl’s dance Monday night at the Emmys after-party was posted on Instagram by the party’s DJ, Benjamin Walker, who added: “I love a good rom-com so when I saw @katherineheigl, I knew IMMEDIATELY there was one song to end the night and one song only … #IYKYK #27dresses.”“27 Dresses,” which also co-starred Malin Akerman, Edward Burns and Judy Greer, was directed by Anne Fletcher and revolved around Jane, who’s “always the bridesmaid, never a bride” and has been in 27 weddings wearing different dresses.Eventually she falls in love with Kevin after he writes an article about her experience as a professional bridesmaid.The movie’s main characters reunited for an Entertainment Weekly photo shoot in 2019, and said they would be interested in doing a sequel, should the opportunity arise.“I want to do a sequel,” Heigl said at the time.
Gay cinema certainly has turned a corner lately, in the wake of films as varied as Cassandro, Rustin and All of Us Strangers, stories in which the lead character’s sexuality might form a crucial part of the tapestry of the drama but isn’t the be-all and end-all. Leading the vanguard for the next generation is this confident debut from 33-year-old British-Iraqi director Amrou Al-Kadhi, a frank and emotionally honest portrait of someone who falls outside society’s boxes and steadfastly refuses to conform to them. This emphasis on the positive is sometimes counterintuitive (more on that later), but, thanks to its core cast, Layla is an engaging study of love in the pronoun era.
Lots of celebrities stepped out to take part in the CMT Giants: Alabama tribute on Wednesday (January 17) at The Fisher Center for the Performing Arts in Nashville, Tennessee.
The FOX Network broadcast itself was simply great (more on that below) but I have a severe case of déjà vu after attending Monday night’s 75th annual Emmy Awards. It is as if in this vast TV universe of networks, streamers, cable, You Tube and more content that a human being could ever consume, the people who vote for awards have only seen three shows. Am I wrong? Every time I put on my tux and go to an awards show in 2024, meaning the past eight nights, it is always the exact same results for Limited, Comedy and Drama Series. At the Golden Globes it was Beef, The Bear, Succession. At Sunday night’s Critics Choice Awards it was Beef, The Bear, Succession. At the Emmys it was – you guessed it – Beef, The Bear, Succession.
There are few people who could ever understand what life is like as a Queen-in-waiting, but the Princess of Wales appears to have found a confidante in Mary, the new Queen of Denmark. Following the recent shock abdication of Queen Margrethe after a reign of more than five decades, Kate, 42, will have been keen to lend her support to close friend and “muse”, Mary, 51, who is married to the new King Frederik X.
Michaela Zee Sarah Snook revealed that she was mistreated by both a casting director and film producer in the early part of her career. In a new interview with The Sunday Times, the “Succession” star said that after she landed a film role, the casting director told her, “We don’t really want you because you’re a nobody, but the director and the writer think you’re good for the role.

All Saints‘ Shaznay Lewis has shared her newest single ‘Miracle’, marking her first solo release in 20 years.The track is a blend of pop and R&B and sees Lewis sing: “And you’ll find me / Rising where we fall / In a sunlit dream / Where nobody has been before / And it’s like nothing that you’ve seen / I can explain it all / No timе to be cynical / Right now, we need a miracle”.Speaking about the track in a press release, Lewis said: “‘Miracle’ was a journey, a relentless writing process between Emily Phillips and me. We pushed each other, we changed it a lot, and when I finally listened to it I realised it was a love song to myself, about the person I’ve been for the past 25 years and where I am now.”She continued: “It’s a message of encouragement to return to my love of writing with self-esteem, and confidence in the way that made me happy.”‘Miracle’ serves as a re-introduction to Lewis who enjoyed huge success as a member and lead songwriter of the all girl pop group All Saints from the early 00s.
, the most recent of which included the return of Maguire and Garfield as their respective Peters Parker, which audiences adored. Nostalgia is not a crime! Three Aunt Mays, two Uncle Bens, one notorious stage musical, a lot of great power and even more great responsibility. Why not? Spider-Man is an iconic American character, a high school loser who finds the power within and defeats a great evil.

‘Eras Tour’ to Miami in October; I saw her in Philadelphia last year, and she truly puts on a show like none other. The bad news? I have yet to secure tickets for any of her three stops in South Florida. The good news? My parents live in Miami — meaning that even if I have to bust my budget to acquire said tickets, I’ll save on accommodations by crashing with them for free.
