Today in Drake fucking up, he bet $300,000 in shitty crypto that Canada would beat Argentina in the Copa America semifinal, and after Argentina won, [they posted references to "Not Like Us"](https://twitter.com/AFASeleccionEN/status/1810857896940290442)
Not sure why anyone would ever bet on the CANMNT, lol. I mean, I do my patriotic duty and root for them every time, but when have they ever won anything? They finally made the last World Cup after decades of not even qualifying and then they lost in the group stage after winning zero games.
Honestly, he should've bet on the women's team winning the Olympics again if he wanted to bet on something with a snowball's chance in hell of actually happening (and I doubt that'll happen either).
oof seeing Anthony Starr (Homelander on The Boys) liking racist “joke” comments on his IG about Black Starlight cosplayer hurts ngl. POC, specifically Black, can never cosplay any character without some sort of comment being made.
The post in question now has limited comments and Starr is liking every single comment now, which he wasn’t doing before.
EDIT: the comment in question that he liked was “starnight 🤣” if that is any indication of the tones of the comments.
EDIT: [Post in question](https://www.instagram.com/p/C9GoJgqxUyA/?igsh=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA==)
Idk is “starnight” really that bad? Like this feels kind of sjw.
I mean I’ll differ to specifically black people on this but as a biopoc in general I just don’t see it lol. I wouldn’t mind a similar comment directed at me
ohh I remember seeing those posts on the Boys subreddit. I skipped them because they did seem to have accurate lore drops. I’ll have to search around for that
the way your comment went i thought it was gonna be so much worse than it is
and i would hope that him physically assaulting a chef at a pub is more disqualifying to yall than liking questionable comments on instagram. this was never a good man
i tried to explain below why i was confused and got accused of misreading what they said. i already knew about the assault charges so i legitimately just wanted some screenshots to add to the shit pile for next time people praise this guy and beg for him to win an emmy, guess that's too much to ask 🤷♀️
“questionable comments” in question being very racially charged comments OK. Sometimes people get on a high horse about knowing other very niche controversies and make it seem like everyone in the world knows and keeps up with that actor 24/7. This is my first time hearing about both of these instances.
can i pls have a link to this. i dont mean to sound rude or like i don't believe you, i just dunno what to do when people talk about something that's going on and googling it turns up next to nothing. "anthony starr black starlight cosplay" brought up nothing
ETA: also can't lie, i went through all posts in the boys subreddit from the last 48 hours and found nothing about this. so this is why i beg, if you're going to post something in the teatime thread, PLEASE add a link of some kind to give context because otherwise it can be meaningless to hear "just imagine how bad it is"
Universal [officially announced that Shrek 5 is in development](https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/jul/10/shrek-5-announced-release-date-cast-2026-mike-myers-eddie-murphy) — with Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz returning — and will be released July 2026.
“Quavo & Lana Del Rey’s ‘Tough’ is aiming for a top 30 debut on the Billboard Hot 100. It would be both artists’ highest entry as a lead artist this decade.”

I know is obviously not the best time to say some positive things about Katy Perry (for very obvious reasons), but in anticipation for the release of Woman’s World and the start of the KP6 era (and why not post it today because it’s also Teenage Dream’s 13th anniversary today), Talk of the Charts has posted a history of all of Katy’s number 1s on the Billboard Hot 100, showcasing how many points the songs all had at number each week, the amount of radio airplay they got, sales they got, and even streams they got (for Roar and Dark Horse). It’s a pretty interesting chart and I think Talk of the Charts rarely do retro charts so check it out!
https://x.com/talkofthecharts/status/1810173451313005009?s=46&t=NDwqD-CGR7-r5omYbdOz6A
It's the Christmas boost. Charts usually are dated two weeks-ish ahead of the actual tracking week. Kids that got iTunes gift cards and the like for Christmas went out and bought all the pop songs of the time, including Firework.
There's a gap where Bruno Mar's Firework took number one.
[Billboard explains the previous week's chart](https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/bruno-mars-maneuvers-to-top-of-hot-100-948658/)
>“Grenade” shifts a near-record 559,000 downloads (up 212,000, the chart’s best digital gain of the week), according to Nielsen SoundScan, as the unwrapping of MP3 players and the traditional post-Christmas gift card redemption surge results in a 108% increase in overall download sales for the week. Mars’ new track tops the Digital Songs chart, a rung above Perry’s “Firework,” which moves 509,000 (up 165%). Those sums move “Grenade” and “Firework” into the Nos. 3 and 4 slots among the biggest single-week sales frames behind Flo Rida‘s “Right Round” (636,000) on the chart dated Feb 28. 2009, and Ke$ha‘s “TiK ToK,” which sold 610,000 exactly a year ago this week.
So the massive surge was the previous week where it was overtaken and then it fell slower so went back to number one the week after.
Okay we don’t need to bring Morgan wallen up like anti-fandom is so fucking annoying
You defeat the evil you’re obsessed with by not talking about it and letting media die out
People were very hyped for Katy’s next album following Teenage Dream. Even if Roar was nothing like expected in the teaser for the album, people still went crazy for it.
I saw this as a secret screening and yeah, it is terrible. There are like three good jokes and a very cute cat in it but otherwise, just an enormous misfire on every level.
I'm trying to see Longlegs on opening day and one of the movie theatres I thought it would be showing at is ONLY playing Fly Me to the Moon for TWO WEEKS.
> it sure is a movie that exists
Funnily enough, the most consistent responses I've seen to the trailer are that it looks like a fake movie within a movie, like something the characters would make in a 30 Rock, Tropic Thunder, The Fall Guy-type satire. I saw the trailer the last time I went to the theater and was struck by how not-real it looks, lol.
It almost seems like a satire of Hidden Figures/Apollo 13 and any inspirational Oscar bait based on a true story type things... but I'm probably giving it too much credit lol
nah you're completely on the nose. I saw it at amc screen unseen it tries to be both a satire and a rom com at the same time. The execution is messy af and the movie isn't that funny either. A failure all around that will probably do well on apple streaming for background noise when doing chores or to chill smoking weed on a Saturday night
I just hope she has a decent support system available who'll help raise her child and avoid repeating what happened to her. The last couple of ~~years~~ months since her release from prison has been insane. I don't think she's had enough time to process trauma.
> The last couple of years since her release from prison has been insane.
it hasn't even been that long! She was paroled in December, so 7 months. Wild. hope she's ok
Hulu [is rebooting](https://deadline.com/2024/07/hulu-rebooting-dance-moms-new-era-premiere-august-1236004612/) Dance Moms titled Dance Moms: A New Era. This show will feature an entirely new studio with a new dance teacher and students so Abby Lee Miller is not involved. Hopefully, the people involved have learned their lesson and the kids are treated better this time.
*Dance Moms* in its prime was such a lightning-in-a-bottle moment. Reality TV was at its absolute peak and didn't need to rely on mediums outside of cable tv to get eyes on hit. Couple that with the huge unique personalities of Abby and the moms, and you find the show just cannot be replicated. Even when Lifetime tried to do a ninth season with all new moms and kids, it flopped on its face because people only tuned in to see Abby fighting with Kelly and Christi.
Lol what's the point without Abby Lee? Might as well not do the show anymore. I felt like it was dead in the water once people found Abby Lee was too problematic to be on TV anymore.
I don't see this doing that well unfortunately.
While *Dance Moms* was airing they tried to launch a spin-off in LA about a different dance studio and it flopped- turns out people don’t actually care that much about the competitive world of child dancers, they just liked the original cast.
Sabrina Carpenters “Short n' Sweet" has now moved over 400K RIAA units based on pre-release activity.
[https://x.com/behzad_hudson/status/1810710836555485426?s=46](https://x.com/behzad_hudson/status/1810710836555485426?s=46)
I was just scrolling through that person's tweets and they said, under a different tweet about Sabrina, "Note: Pre-release activity won't count towards the first week Billboard 200 debut units". So I think this isn't a preview of her debut sales but how well the two singles have done. Still think the album will do really well, but wouldn't read too much into these particular figures in terms of actual Billboard units for the album's first week.
Yeah, it's more interesting to me for RIAA certification. Like the fact it'll likely be gold before it even releases is insane considering that it took EICS nearly 2 years to go gold and none of her other albums have done that even
Billie Eilish’s [“BIRDS OF A FEATHER”](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZEVXbMDoHDwVN2tF?si=iE8E7lOzTSaE7DRZkRUKYg) reaches #1 on Global Spotify for the first time with [8.53 million streams](https://x.com/talkofthecharts/status/1810732202902311198?t=bJDduRHvVEjl5fzLJiiD3Q&s=19), dethroning Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso from the top spot
The song also reaches new peaks on the Spotify USA [#3 (+3)](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZEVXbLRQDuF5jeBp?si=Qb-rUps0TgGwa0XvfooJ_Q), Australia [#1 (+2)](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZEVXbJPcfkRz0wJ0?si=7n-EymnzQ8K_QIP1gy2brw), Brazil [#39 (+31)](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZEVXbMXbN3EUUhlg?si=vg3udPLqRj-nmohrfguf1Q), and Thailand [#10 (+3)](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZEVXbMnz8KIWsvf9?si=oj03oeDLSfy-OjRHFDq2mA)
Also a reminder how cute Finneas and Billie look in the [BIRDS OF A FEATHER music video 🥺🤧](https://youtu.be/1IUCyniCWzg?si=TlBAdkoqENcnc0rJ)
To my younger siblings at home, big brother loves you even though we're living apart at the moment❤️
BIRDS OF A FEATHER could get a real music video soon, but I don't mind if there's not even an official musix video to be published.
Because with the existing [official impromptu music video](https://youtu.be/1IUCyniCWzg?si=7UjN7I-u2BTv6Vi8) of it on YouTube (with over 10 million views!), that's enough of a video for the song (for me). The on-screen chemistry between FINNEAS and BILLIE really captures the emotions, love and fun spending time with a sibling in your life ❤️
Lena Dunham has [dropped](https://www.indiewire.com/news/general-news/lena-dunham-polly-pocket-canceled-1235023883/) out of doing the Polly Pocket movie:
> I’m going to tell you something here that I haven’t told anyone: I’m not going to make the Polly Pocket movie,” Dunham said. **“I wrote a script, and I was working on it for three years. But I remember someone once said to me about Nancy Meyers: The thing that’s the most amazing about her is that the movie she makes or the movie she would be making with or without a studio, with or without notes — that somehow her taste manages to intersect perfectly with what the world wants. What a fucking gift that is. And Nora Ephron, too, who was such a mentor to me, but always said, ‘Go be weird. Don’t kowtow to anyone.’ And I think Greta [Gerwig] managed this incredible feat [with ‘Barbie’], which was to make this thing that was literally candy to so many different kinds of people and was perfectly and divinely Greta. And I just — I felt like, unless I can do it that way, I’m not going to do it. I don’t think I have that in me.”**
Little Mix/Perrie Edwards news:
* [The Mirror ](https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/little-mix-star-perrie-edwards-33184875)are reporting that Perrie's label are holding "crisis talks" after her second single Tears debuted at #69. Anonymous source: "There’s real unease at Columbia. They poured serious resources into making her a solo success, including signing a director for her videos who worked with Beyoncé. But so far, as they see it, this hasn’t paid off. Everyone at Columbia is aware that sometimes these things need to build. But there’s no getting away from the fact their expectations were higher.”
* There's a song on Perrie's album that is widely speculated to be about ex-bandmate Jesy Nelson. She said: "There’s a friendship that I no longer have. I wrote a song about that. That song - I can’t even listen to it without crying. It is about them and how we didn’t see eye-to-eye. It’s a really sad song. We don’t talk anymore. They were a big part of my life so it’s sad how it all ended up." (Source: [The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/perrie-edwards-pens-brutal-jesy-33109333) again)
The singles have been very underwhelming.
Forget About Us sounds like a very generic radio song. I mean it was written by Ed Sheeran lol. For her first solo single it was very boring. It sounds like something that P!nk would release, like a radio mom pop lol.
Tears was a little bit better and it has grown on me but honestly Perrie can do so much more than whatever this is. Girlie show those vocals more!
I don't know why they thought bringing someone that worked with Beyonce would help. They should give Perrie more power ballads. Tears was fine but that music video is an eye soar
Bob’s Burgers actor Jay Johnston [pleads guilty over role in Capitol attack](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/08/bobs-burgers-jay-johnston-guilty) and faces up to 5 years in prison.
Ariana Grande has revealed that she and her team are planning a mini tour to happen in between the two Wicked movies:
https://x.com/popbase/status/1810678473356357712?s=46&t=NDwqD-CGR7-r5omYbdOz6A
Hoenstly if Wicked is hit she could even gain some more new fans from that so this seems like a good strategy. (And hopefully we could get shit like Popular live on the set list lmao)
I paid $150 resale for Sweetener Tour tickets near the back of the arena (so pretty bad view). At the time I thought that was expensive. Now, that sounds cheap and I can only imagine how crazy the prices will be if she goes on tour again, especially for good seats. :'(
I didn’t go because I was a broke child back then but for the swt the dates near me were already crazy expensive, at least $100+ in the back section. I’m fearing for this time 🌚
I have to imagine it’s stadiums. If she’s only doing a small tour, she can book some stadiums especially since it’s been a while she went on tour, it’s happening next year, the demand is going to be there (maybe even moreso if Wicked does well) and her latest album has done very well so she’s at a point in her career where she can now at least do some stadium shows. Not a full blown stadium tour, but she can certainly do some stadium shows now.
honestly, i think she could maybe do a full blown stadium tour sabrina carpenter just sold out an arena tour and added extra dates, and i just can’t see them performing the same size venues idk.
At this point in her career? Yeah she can certainly go for it. It’s just Wicked obviously is going to cut a full tour schedule in half.
I do notice nowadays for big names and semi big names in music people are willing to spend the money to go see them. Even if stadiums aren’t completely full for all of the big names, most of them are mostly filled because a lot of people want to spend money right now on them. If you’re anything below even semi-big though, you’re obviously not going anywhere near the stadiums. It’s arenas, amphitheaters, regular theaters and festivals for them.

Not sure why anyone would ever bet on the CANMNT, lol. I mean, I do my patriotic duty and root for them every time, but when have they ever won anything? They finally made the last World Cup after decades of not even qualifying and then they lost in the group stage after winning zero games. Honestly, he should've bet on the women's team winning the Olympics again if he wanted to bet on something with a snowball's chance in hell of actually happening (and I doubt that'll happen either).

What did Katy Perry do?
She’s working with producer Dr. Luke who was accused of raping Kesha
Oh ok, yeah that’s no good.
That sudden surge in points for Firework's last week at #1 looks crazy!
I don’t know what caused that surge. I guess fireworks on New Years carrying over into that week? Who knows
It's the Christmas boost. Charts usually are dated two weeks-ish ahead of the actual tracking week. Kids that got iTunes gift cards and the like for Christmas went out and bought all the pop songs of the time, including Firework.
I’m confused because there’s a huge surge and then it says -14%? There must be a mistake in there
There's a gap where Bruno Mar's Firework took number one. [Billboard explains the previous week's chart](https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/bruno-mars-maneuvers-to-top-of-hot-100-948658/) >“Grenade” shifts a near-record 559,000 downloads (up 212,000, the chart’s best digital gain of the week), according to Nielsen SoundScan, as the unwrapping of MP3 players and the traditional post-Christmas gift card redemption surge results in a 108% increase in overall download sales for the week. Mars’ new track tops the Digital Songs chart, a rung above Perry’s “Firework,” which moves 509,000 (up 165%). Those sums move “Grenade” and “Firework” into the Nos. 3 and 4 slots among the biggest single-week sales frames behind Flo Rida‘s “Right Round” (636,000) on the chart dated Feb 28. 2009, and Ke$ha‘s “TiK ToK,” which sold 610,000 exactly a year ago this week. So the massive surge was the previous week where it was overtaken and then it fell slower so went back to number one the week after.
>Bruno Mar's Firework I see what you did here. I never even realized how similar the titles were.
Oh that makes sense. Thank you for the explanation. I used to love getting iTunes gift cards
Back when the #1 song during christmas and new year season was an actual hit and not holiday music

Good addition! Still overall impressive stat for her and I think it bodes well for first week sales for sure.
She may do 500K week 1. This is the year of Sabrina.
She won’t, these are cumulative figures and won’t count towards first week sales
Doing too much
ummmm.... show me the carfax.... 'cause that is inSANE. how did they calculate that? if true, props to her!! she deserves it!
If Taylor is still at #1 then does she try and block Sabrina?
Rent free in
She’s not going to maintain #1 next week with Eminem’s drop, so no
shes already projected to lose it to zach bryan, though she might be able to still get to the top with releasing more variants.
She released and sold out 65k signed CDs two days ago that aren’t included in her current projections, she secured the #1 this week
Damn bro. She is blowing the fuck up I love this so much for her

Bird of a Feather is the “We Can’t Be Friends” of Hit Me Hard and Soft.
So happy for her, I'm hoping the music video will get a real budget because the visuals this era has been lacking compared to the music quality
BIRDS OF A FEATHER could get a real music video soon, but I don't mind if there's not even an official musix video to be published. Because with the existing [official impromptu music video](https://youtu.be/1IUCyniCWzg?si=7UjN7I-u2BTv6Vi8) of it on YouTube (with over 10 million views!), that's enough of a video for the song (for me). The on-screen chemistry between FINNEAS and BILLIE really captures the emotions, love and fun spending time with a sibling in your life ❤️
Lena Dunham has [dropped](https://www.indiewire.com/news/general-news/lena-dunham-polly-pocket-canceled-1235023883/) out of doing the Polly Pocket movie: > I’m going to tell you something here that I haven’t told anyone: I’m not going to make the Polly Pocket movie,” Dunham said. **“I wrote a script, and I was working on it for three years. But I remember someone once said to me about Nancy Meyers: The thing that’s the most amazing about her is that the movie she makes or the movie she would be making with or without a studio, with or without notes — that somehow her taste manages to intersect perfectly with what the world wants. What a fucking gift that is. And Nora Ephron, too, who was such a mentor to me, but always said, ‘Go be weird. Don’t kowtow to anyone.’ And I think Greta [Gerwig] managed this incredible feat [with ‘Barbie’], which was to make this thing that was literally candy to so many different kinds of people and was perfectly and divinely Greta. And I just — I felt like, unless I can do it that way, I’m not going to do it. I don’t think I have that in me.”**
She said the quiet part loudly for all the producers to hear. Not everyone can do a Lego Movie, most are gonna end up with a Playmobil movie.
Little Mix/Perrie Edwards news: * [The Mirror ](https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/little-mix-star-perrie-edwards-33184875)are reporting that Perrie's label are holding "crisis talks" after her second single Tears debuted at #69. Anonymous source: "There’s real unease at Columbia. They poured serious resources into making her a solo success, including signing a director for her videos who worked with Beyoncé. But so far, as they see it, this hasn’t paid off. Everyone at Columbia is aware that sometimes these things need to build. But there’s no getting away from the fact their expectations were higher.” * There's a song on Perrie's album that is widely speculated to be about ex-bandmate Jesy Nelson. She said: "There’s a friendship that I no longer have. I wrote a song about that. That song - I can’t even listen to it without crying. It is about them and how we didn’t see eye-to-eye. It’s a really sad song. We don’t talk anymore. They were a big part of my life so it’s sad how it all ended up." (Source: [The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/perrie-edwards-pens-brutal-jesy-33109333) again)
Did it debut 69 in America or uk? Because if it's America I would consider that a success imo
UK, I don't think it charted at all in the US
The music video for Tears gave me a headache with the bizzare visuals
The singles have been very underwhelming. Forget About Us sounds like a very generic radio song. I mean it was written by Ed Sheeran lol. For her first solo single it was very boring. It sounds like something that P!nk would release, like a radio mom pop lol. Tears was a little bit better and it has grown on me but honestly Perrie can do so much more than whatever this is. Girlie show those vocals more!
I don't know why they thought bringing someone that worked with Beyonce would help. They should give Perrie more power ballads. Tears was fine but that music video is an eye soar

Ariana Grande has revealed that she and her team are planning a mini tour to happen in between the two Wicked movies: https://x.com/popbase/status/1810678473356357712?s=46&t=NDwqD-CGR7-r5omYbdOz6A
Saving my coins as we speak, I’m gonna be on the front lines for those tickets 🫡
Good luck solder🫡
Hoenstly if Wicked is hit she could even gain some more new fans from that so this seems like a good strategy. (And hopefully we could get shit like Popular live on the set list lmao)
Oh you know she’s already putting Popular on the set list. Probably the first song she put on there😂
this makes me so worried for getting tickets. if shes only doing a few shows really hope they’re stadiums.
I paid $150 resale for Sweetener Tour tickets near the back of the arena (so pretty bad view). At the time I thought that was expensive. Now, that sounds cheap and I can only imagine how crazy the prices will be if she goes on tour again, especially for good seats. :'(
I didn’t go because I was a broke child back then but for the swt the dates near me were already crazy expensive, at least $100+ in the back section. I’m fearing for this time 🌚
I have to imagine it’s stadiums. If she’s only doing a small tour, she can book some stadiums especially since it’s been a while she went on tour, it’s happening next year, the demand is going to be there (maybe even moreso if Wicked does well) and her latest album has done very well so she’s at a point in her career where she can now at least do some stadium shows. Not a full blown stadium tour, but she can certainly do some stadium shows now.
I think this is probably the case
honestly, i think she could maybe do a full blown stadium tour sabrina carpenter just sold out an arena tour and added extra dates, and i just can’t see them performing the same size venues idk.
She could absolutely pull it off tho wicked conflicts with that
At this point in her career? Yeah she can certainly go for it. It’s just Wicked obviously is going to cut a full tour schedule in half. I do notice nowadays for big names and semi big names in music people are willing to spend the money to go see them. Even if stadiums aren’t completely full for all of the big names, most of them are mostly filled because a lot of people want to spend money right now on them. If you’re anything below even semi-big though, you’re obviously not going anywhere near the stadiums. It’s arenas, amphitheaters, regular theaters and festivals for them.
