“My Old Ass” writer and director Megan Park has landed a series order at Amazon Prime Video for the drama “Sterling Point,” Variety has learned exclusively.

Exact plot details are being kept under wraps, but “Sterling Point” is described as a YA drama. Park is the creator of the series and will also direct, executive produce, and serve as co-showrunner.

YA genre veterans Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage will also executive produce and co-showrun under their Fake Empire banner. LuckyChap, which produced “My Old Ass,” will executive produce under its first-look TV deal with Amazon MGM Studios. Amazon MGM Studios acquired the distribution rights to “My Old Ass” out of the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and gave the film a limited theatrical release before releasing it on Prime Video.

“I am so thrilled to be partnering with LuckyChap and Amazon again after such an incredible journey making ‘My Old Ass’ together,...

One Piece's creator, Eichiro Oda, reveals the truth about one of the most mysterious plot points in his beloved series, but it also comes with disappointing news for fans. The Rocky Port Incident was first mentioned more than 10 years ago in chapter #700, and what really happened on that day has finally come to light.

While One Piece is on a short hiatus, Weekly Shonen Jump will publish Oda's answers to ten of the best and most important questions asked by fans. The answers, which will be published in issue #49 of Weekly Shonen Jump, are already circulating online, and a fan inquired about the infamous Rocky Port Incident. Unfortunately, not only did Oda not give a detailed explanation as to what happened that day, but he also said that the Rocky Port incident would not be shown in the manga, which is not good given the scale and importance of that event.

Avril Lavigne will revisit The Best Damn Thing and her best damn songs on the upcoming compilation album Greatest Hits, out June 21. The record will span two decades of releases from the musician, beginning with her 2002 debut, Let Go, and extending through 2022’s Love Sux.

“Can’t do a greatest hits tour without a greatest hits album,” Lavigne wrote on Instagram. The accompanying Greatest Hits tour was announced in January. Kicking off on May 22, the stretch of shows will feature special guests All Time Low and Simple Plan.

One game-changing episode can elevate a TV show, revealing important information or shifting the story's focus. The Bear's episode "Fishes" uses a flashback to provide context and further character development, enhancing the show's storytelling. "I Have a Thing About Bathrooms" marks a turning point in Killing Eve, shifting the focus to the palpable tension between Eve and Villanelle.

A single episode can change everything for a TV show, elevating it from "good" to "great." Perhaps there is no real reason for that one episode to turn the show into a major success, and it just happened to have better writing or feature a significant moment in the story. Maybe the episode was the moment when the audience became truly invested in the story, or a key character was introduced.

It is hard to imagine that there was a time before Eve and Villanelle properly met in Killing Eve; when Walt White...

Blackbear and Mike Posner are explaining the meaning behind the Ariana Grande reference in their new song, “… The Green Spangled Banner.”

The musicians recently teamed up to release their second album together, Mansionz 2.

The opening track, which has the Ariana reference, sets the tone for an intentionally chaotic and experimental project.

The duo explained their reasoning behind that lyric during a Thursday (November 2) interview on The Zach Sang Show.

Keep reading to find out more…

In the song, they rap, “We’re gonna treat you like an Ariana Grande song.”

When asked about the line during their interview, Blackbear replied, “Well, she has, like, the ’69′ song, and she has all these songs, like, ‘I’m gonna ride it’ and ‘I can’t walk for weeks.’”

“Yeah she does,” Mike agreed. Blackbear added, “‘Side to side,’ ’69.’”

Mike noted, “They’re really intense.”

Ariana recently supported her boyfriend Ethan Slater at the...

This year’s Stagecoach Festival was a love letter to country music’s past and a nod to its wide-open future. While the festival — the genre’s largest, most rollicking reunion that takes place in California’s low desert the week after Coachella — was sparse on guest appearances (no Axl Rose, this time), the level of showmanship and raw talent was high.

The three-day affair weaved in and out of hat-tips from the likes of Luke Bryan playing “Where the Green Grass Grows” by Tim McGraw to Kane Brown performing...

On day two of Stagecoach 2023, Kane Brown delivered one of the most candid moments at this year’s festival, opening up about his struggle with depression before performing his new track “Memory,” which features Blackbear.

Brown took the stage flanked with pyrotechnics and played a range of high-energy hits from “Famous Friends” to “One Mississippi.” Halfway through his set, the tempo slowed, and he spoke directly to the audience. “How many of you go through depression?” he asked. “Don’t be scared. How many of you? I go through it.

CAA has signed filmmaker Megan Park for representation.

Park’s feature directorial debut, “The Fallout,” premiered at SXSW in 2021 and took home the festival’s grand jury prize and audience award, as well as the first-ever Brightcove Illumination Award for writing the screenplay. The film was released on HBO Max in Jan. 2022 and stars Jenna Ortega and Maddie Ziegler, following the teenagers as they attempt to rebuild their lives after a school tragedy.

Park was named one of Variety’s “10 Directors to Watch” for 2022 and also won the Toronto International Film Festival’s Rising Star Award and an Emerging Directors Award from the Cannes Film Festival.

Before transitioning to directing, Park was best known for her work on camera, starring in “The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” “What If” and “Charlie Bartlett.” After growing up on film sets since her teen years, she was comfortable, but not totally fulfilled.

For a movie titled with all the sophistication of the phrase “search engine optimization,” the bloody action comedy “Cocaine Bear” delivers on its promises. Though it may sound like the hottest gay bar in Medellín, the gayest thing about “Cocaine Bear” is Margo Martindale’s brazen flirtation with Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Categorically undefinable by design, Elizabeth Banks’ outrageously grisly comedy uses a deep roster of talent for her cash grab, serving A-list backing with B-movie appeal. It’s neither groundbreaking nor particularly smart, but it’s 95 minutes of over-the-top fun. It’s

Directed by Banks and written by Jimmy Warden, “Cocaine Bear” is loosely inspired by the true story of a Black Bear (unfortunately nicknamed Pablo Eskobear) that died after ingesting a duffle bag of cocaine in 1985. Taking this premise and running with it fully into the depths of utter mayhem, the movie opens with a drug kingpin dispensing his...

Exclusive: Nick Offerman (Parks And Recreation) and Talia Ryder (Never Rarely Sometimes Always) are the latest names to have joined the stacked cast of Black Bear and Sony’s movie Dumb Money.

The film stars an ensemble cast including Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, Sebastian Stan, Pete Davidson, Shailene Woodley, Dane DeHaan, Vincent D’Onofrio, Anthony Ramos, America Ferrera and Myah’la Herrold.

Pic tells the story of the fortunes made and lost overnight in the David vs Goliath GameStop short squeeze that impacted Wall Street.

Currently in production, the film is being directed by Craig Gillespie and is based on bestselling author Ben Mezrich’s book The Antisocial Network. Script was adapted by Rebecca Angelo & Lauren Schuker Blum.

Ryder Picture Company’s Aaron Ryder, Black Bear’s Teddy Schwarzman and Gillespie are producing. Executive producers include Michael Heimler, John Friedberg, Andrew Swett, Angelo, Schuker Blum, Mezrich, Johnny Holland, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss and Kevin Ulrich.

Recent double Emmy nominee Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria) is reteaming with The Voyeurs director for Immaculate, a new psychological horror that Mohan will direct for Black Bear Pictures. The actress developed the project with producer David Bernad, following their highly successful collaboration on HBO’s Emmy-winning satire The White Lotus.

The film written by Andrew Lobel follows Cecilia (Sweeney), a woman of devout faith who is offered a fulfilling new role at an illustrious Italian convent. Her warm welcome to the picture-perfect Italian countryside is soon interrupted as it becomes clearer to Cecilia that her new home harbors some dark and horrifying secrets.

Production kicks off in January, with Sweeney and Jonathan Davino producing for Fifty-Fifty Films, alongside Bernad and Black Bear Pictures’ Teddy Schwarzman and Michael Heimler. Black Bear’s John Friedberg and Christopher Casanova will exec produce alongside Will Greenfield (Euphoria).

Black Bear will fully finance Immaculate,...

A lot of weird stuff has happened since the start of the pandemic, and studios are already working like clockwork to crank out film adaptations of that weirdness. In one of the most high-profile ventures, "Dumb Money" looks to tell the story of that time in 2021 when a bunch of Reddit investors broke the stock market by causing the stocks in GameStop, a barely surviving company, to skyrocket. Earlier this year, a documentary about the situation called "GameStop: Rise of the Players" became available to watch on Hulu, but this will be the first live-action retelling. 

The story is based on the book "The Antisocial Network: The GameStop Short Squeeze and the Ragtag Group of Amateur Traders That Brought Wall Street to Its Knees" by Ben Mezrich. The screenplay was adapted by Rebecca Angelo & Lauren Schuker Blum, and the film will be directed by the current king of ripped-from-the-headlines adaptations,...

You may have thought you caught all the action at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards watching the red carpet coverage and ceremony play out on TV on Aug. 28, but Popsugar was actually there, experiencing everything first-hand. Before Lizzo made her rousing speech calling out her haters or Fergie crashed Jack Harlow's "First Class" performance, all of the night's biggest celebs hit the red carpet to show off their designer outfits and chat with the 70+ outlets that packed into the press line for the first full-blown VMAs since the pandemic derailed the 2020 show. Let's break down everything that happened behind the scenes.

Most of the night's biggest acts - from Lizzo and Jack Harlow to LL Cool J and surprise-attendee Taylor Swift - skipped walking the press line and instead ducked straight into the venue after taking pictures, which sent reporters jumping over dozens of camera cables and bolting to...

There was plenty of action on, around and above the MTV VMA stages at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Sunday night: Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance and not only took home the prize for Video of the Year (for “All Too Well”), she also announced her forthcoming new album, “Midnights”; Nicki Minaj took home the Video Vanguard award and delivered a performance that ranged from pink pop to torture-porn; and Latin had a bigger look than ever before, with eye-popping performances from Bad Bunny, J Balvin and Anitta, the latter of whom became the first Brazilian artist to win Best Latin Artist for her song “Envolver.”

Yet there was plenty of action off-camera as well. On the red carpet in the hours before the show, Jack Harlow arrived early, clad in a leather-ish dark grey suit (which would have been suffocatingly hot if the Tri-State area...

The MTV Video Music Awards are on Sunday night, August 28, broadcasting live from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. But who will win when moon person trophies are handed out? Scroll down for our complete racetrack odds in 15 categories, which are based on the combined predictions of hundreds of Gold Derby users who have placed their bets here in our predictions center. Our projected winners are highlighted in gold.

SEEVMAs announce social category nominees including BTS, Blackpink, Beyonce …

We’re betting on Taylor Swift to go three-for-three in the categories we’re forecasting: Video of the Year, Best Long Form Video, and Best Direction, all for the short film she directed to accompany her 10-minute extended version of “All Too Well.” If we’re right about the top category, Swift would make history as the first artist ever to win Video of the Year three times. She previously prevailed...

Since the MTV Video Music Awards brought back their Best Alternative category in 2020, Machine Gun Kelly has dominated, winning in 2020 for “Bloody Valentine” and again in 2021 for “My Ex’s Best Friend” featuring Blackbear. He’s nominated again in 2022 for “Emo Girl” featuring Willow. Can he go three-for-three, or will he be stopped by an artist with a much bigger hit?

As of this writing Imagine Dragons and Jid are the front-runners for their collab “Enemy,” according to the combined predictions of hundreds of Gold Derby users. They get leading odds of 8/1. They only have one previous VMA victory: Best Rock for “Whatever It Takes” in 2018. And they were nominated for Best Alternative last year for “Follow You” but lost to Mgk. The difference this time is that “Enemy” was significantly more popular, reaching number-five on the Billboard Hot 100 while Mgk’s “Emo Girl” topped out at number-77 and their...

Some of the biggest names in hip-hop could head home with their very own Moonman trophy at the MTV Video Music Awards, as Jack Harlow, Kendrick Lamar and Lil Nas X top this year’s list of nominees.

The three artists each boast seven nominations, and are followed closely behind by Doja Cat and Harry Styles, who both received six nominations. Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Rosalía and Ed Sheeran are counted among the other nominees.

Karim Ouelhaj’s Belgian genre title Megalomaniac has been named best feature film at Fantasia International Film Festival, while July Jung has been declared best director for Next Sohee and Alexandre Desplat claimed the best score prize for Final Cut.

Megalomaniac earned the top prize at the Montreal festival’s 26th edition and return to an in-person event. Ouelhaj’s fourth film is inspired by the unsolved case of the Butcher of Mons serial killer who murdered five women from 1996-97.

Machine Gun Kelly is opting for a deep cut with the release of the newest single from his latest full-length, Mainstream Sellout. On Friday, the singer-slash-rapper dropped “More Than Life,” the bonus track on the forthcoming vinyl edition of his chart-topping album, which hits stores June 24.

The emotive track is a collaboration with 17-year-old American songwriter and rapper Glaive, who gained attention online for the hyperpop tracks he recorded in his bedroom during the pandemic. Its release follows album singles “Make Up Sex,” “Ay!” and the Willow Smith collaboration “Emo Girl.

Machine Gun Kelly is celebrating the release of his album Mainstream Sellout with a new video. On Tuesday, he released the colorful, feline-filled video for “Make Up Sex,” featuring Blackbear. And you can probably guess what it’s about.

Surrounded by dozens, probably hundreds, of cats in a fully pink room, Mgk strums his guitar in several equally colorful outfits as he sings, “Face down, laid pipe/Waterworks, swam your pool/Backstroke, we both naked/I can see that ass shaking.”

After singing the catchy chorus, Blackbear joins in for...

Machine Gun Kelly revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live that a recent ayahuasca trip with fiancee Megan Fox in Costa Rica was “one of the most important things that happened to me in my life.”

Host Jimmy Kimmel asked Kelly about the experience, noting that Fox had previously described it as “hell” during a previous appearance on the late-night show. Kelly recalled being given an extra dose of the drug on the first night of the ceremony.

“I remember walking up, it was a circle of about 20 people, and you are...

Avril Lavigne stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday to showcase her new single “Love It When You Hate Me,” which comes off the “Sk8er Boi” singer’s latest album, Love Sux.

Lavigne was joined onstage by Travis Barker, who produced the track, as well as singer-songwriter Blackbear for the performance, which finds the princess of pop punk evoking the high-octane, playful energy that propelled her to the top of the charts when she released her debut album Let Go two decades ago.

HBO Max has revealed some new looks at a mountain of TV shows coming in 2022 in a new sizzle reel.

Some of the shows included in the short video include the “Game of Thrones” spinoff “House of the Dragon,” the “Suicide Squad” spinoff “Peacemaker,” Season 4 of “Westworld,” Season 3 of “Barry,” Season 2 of “The Flight Attendant,” Season 2 of “Euphoria,” the “Harry Potter” reunion special and much more.

Lil Nas X won the marquee Video of the Year award for his “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards, which celebrated their 40th anniversary with a performance-loaded broadcast at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.

Newcomer Olivia Rodrigo won three Moon Men during the ceremony — for Song of the Year, Best New Artist and Push Performance of the Year.

Machine Gun Kelly and UFC Champ Conor McGregor got into a scuffle just before the broadcast of the MTV Video Music Awards at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, according to multiple reports.

Photos snapped on the red carpet show both men being pulled apart, with McGregor’s drink hurled at Kelly. Kelly, wearing a red glittered suit, shielded girlfriend Megan Fox from harm as security guards pulled McGregor away.

Shortly after, Mgk, who was nominated (and later won) for his hit “My Ex’s Best Friend” featuring Blackbear, stopped by Variety‘s red carpet spot where he was asked what happened, but declined to answer (watch video above).

TMZ reports that the skirmish happened after Kelly refused a photo with the Irish UFC fighter. Sources are quoted as saying that McGregor stumbled, spilled his drink then threw the remainder at Kelly.

An eyewitness confirms parts of that account, telling Variety that...

Justin Bieber is the most nominated artist with nine bids (including a couple of more recently announced noms for Song of the Summer for his number-one singles “Peaches” and “Stay”), but among the categories we’re predicting he’s an underdog.

The 2021 MTV Video Music Awards nominations recently dropped, and the genre categories had a few surprises. So let’s see who will pick up some awards in the pop, hip-hop, rock, and alternative races.

SEE2021 VMA nominations list: Justin Bieber, Megan Thee Stallion, Olivia Rodrigo among top MTV Video Music Awards nominees Best Pop

The nominees here include some of the biggest names in pop. Five number-one hits compete: Justin Bieber’s “Peaches” featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon, BTS’ “Butter,” Ariana Grande’s “Positions,” Olivia Rodrigo’s “Good 4 U,” and Taylor Swift’s “Willow.” Additionally, Billie Eilish, Shawn Mendes, and Harry Styles got respective nominations for “Therefore I Am,” “Wonder,” and “Treat People With Kindness,” with the last of those being a welcome surprise after Styles missed last year for “Adore You.” That brings this category to a whopping eight nominees, compared to six in most other races.

On Wednesday, August 11, MTV announced the nominees for its 2021 Video Music Awards, which will be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, on Sunday, September 12.

The rock and alternative fields at the Grammys are always interesting. Due to their eclectic mix of hard rock, alternative pop, and pop/rock, the fields are often a fun blend of commercial and critical picks, as well as some beloved industry players we see often. This year in particular, with no nomination review committees to filter the noms, who could we see get recognition in these coveted categories?

SEETop 4 Grammy trends to watch out for now that the nomination review committees are gone

First, let’s start with last season’s leftovers. Music from some of the 2021 nominees is eligible, with the exception of tracks from Best Alternative Album winner “Fetch the Bolt Cutters” by Fiona Apple, Best Engineered Album winner “Hyperspace” by Beck, and Best Rock Album winner “The New Abnormal” by The Strokes (and any other Grammy-winning album in other genres).

That’s because the Grammy rules state,...

The 2021 Billboard Music Awards are almost here, so it’s time to take a look at some more top categories. This time, let’s consider who leads the genre races for the top artists of the year.

Top Rap Artist

One of the hardest categories this year, this is one where I could genuinely see anyone winning. I’m going to settle on the late Pop Smoke; his album “Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon” was just massive and is still launching singles on the Hot 100, and he did consistently well on all the year-end Billboard charts for 2020. Still, Lil Baby ended up slightly higher on the overall Top Artists list.

So it’s going to depend on who was more successful for those couple of months after the year-ends: the BBMAs eligibility period is March 21, 2020 through April 3, 2021, while the year-end charts only considered achievements through November 2020. So...

Tones And I has released a new single, “Won’t Sleep,” along with a spooky music video that is sure to cure your lingering Hocus Pocus nostalgia.

Co-directed by Tones And I, Nick Zozakis and Liam Kelly, the video sees Tones and a friend stumbling upon an old haunted house in the woods. What they find inside is not an abandoned abode, but rather a lively monster mansion filled with frightening ghosts, ghouls, and one eccentric witch queen, played by Tones herself.

iHeartMedia and Fox have revealed the nominations for the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

The music awards show is set to air live from Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre on Thursday, May 27 after the 2020 edition had to be canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Winners were announced over Labor Day weekend on iHeartRadio stations and the iHeartRadio app.

Artists who received multiple nominations include 24kGoldn, AC/DC, AJR, All Time Low, Ariana Grande, Bad Bunny, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, blackbear, Blackpink, Blake Shelton, BTS, Calibre 50, Cardi B, Charlie Puth, Chris Brown, Christian Nodal, DaBaby, Doja Cat, Drake, Dua Lipa, Future, Gabby ...

Demi Lovato has teamed with Australian singer-songwriter Sam Fischer for the single “What Other People Say.”

“This song is a reflection on what it’s like to lose who you truly are in an effort to please other people and society,” Lovato said of the single. “It’s why I wanted to make this song with Sam — ultimately it’s about two humans coming together to connect and find solutions to their problems.”

The lives of novelists, filmmakers, musicians, and athletes have often been fodder for great works of art. But it’s possible that Operation: Wake Up, this odd little concept record from Mike Posner, is the first attempt to turn the slings and arrows of being a pop songwriter for hire into a meaningful narrative. Posner has had success with self-referential projects in the past; his biggest hit to date is 2015’s “I Took A Pill in Ibiza,” a clever, catchy bit of trend opportunism released at the height of America...

Exclusive: Universal Pictures Content Group is close to acquiring all international distribution rights to U.S. high school drama The Fallout, starring Jenna Ortega (You), Maddie Ziegler (West Side Story), Niles Fitch (This is Us), Shailene Woodley (Big Little Lies), Julie Bowen (Modern Family), John Ortiz (Kong: Skull Island) and Will Ropp (The Way Back).

Actress Megan Park (What If) has written and is directing the feature – which is currently in post-production – about high schooler Vada (Ortega) who navigates the emotional fallout she experiences in the wake of a school tragedy.

David Brown is producing for U.S. outfit Clear Horizon alongside Rebecca Miller and Cara Shine. Shaun Sanghani produces for Sss Entertainmen. Todd Lundbohm, Joannie Burstein and Giulia Prenna also produce. Pic was financed by Clear Media Finance, Sss Film Capital and 828 Media Capital.

LA-based sales and production firm Clear Horizon handles world sales and is inking the deal with Universal.

After hovering in the Top Five for multiple weeks, Internet Money’s “Lemonade” — which features vocals from the high-streaming acts Gunna, Nav, and Don Toliver — jumped to Number One on the latest Rolling Stone Top 100 Songs chart. The track amassed 18.3 million streams and 1,800 downloads, enough to dethrone “Wap,” Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s long-reigning Number One.

Justin Bieber and Benny Blanco’s mournful “Lonely” was the only song to debut in the Top Ten. The collaboration arrived at Number Five, picking up more than 12 million streams, enough to...

Machine Gun Kelly made his name as a Cleveland rapper known for his high-adrenaline rhyming style and occasional beefs with Eminem. But on Tickets To My Downfall he tries a new gambit that works surprisingly well, switching to late-Nineties/early-2000s pop punk, with Blink 182’s Travis Barker producing and playing drums. Trashily lachrymose and full of easily digestible angst, it’s a record festooned with indie-signifying titles “Bloody Valentine” and “Jawbreaker,” though its cover photo of Kelly looking defiant and tortured holding a pink guitar by an empty pool...

Exclusive: Shailene Woodley (Big Little Lies), Julie Bowen (Modern Family), John Ortiz (Kong: Skull Island) and Will Ropp (The Way Back) have joined Jenna Ortega (You), Maddie Ziegler (West Side Story) and Niles Fitch (This is Us) in high school drama The Fallout, which wraps its four-week LA shoot this week.

As we revealed earlier this year, actress Megan Park (What If) has written and is directing the feature about high schooler Vada (Ortega) who navigates the emotional fallout she experiences in the wake of a school tragedy. Relationships with her family, friends and view on the world are forever altered.

David Brown will produce for U.S. outfit Clear Horizon alongside Rebecca Miller and Cara Shine. Joannie Burstein and Giulia Prenna will also produce.
