Following the box office success of Wicked and her first Oscar nomination, Ariana Grande is treating fans to new music. The singer announced on Instagram that the deluxe edition of her latest album, Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead, will be released on March 28. Grande previously revealed to Variety in January that the expanded version was complete and would include several new tracks. The deluxe album will feature six additional songs from the Grammy-winning artist. The original Eternal Sunshine, released nearly a year ago, became Grande’s sixth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, with hit singles Yes, And? and We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love) both topping the Hot 100 chart. Grande’s career has been on a whirlwind trajectory following her Oscar-nominated performance as Glinda in Wicked. The highly anticipated sequel, Wicked: For Good, is set to hit theatres later this year, continuing her remarkable run of success.


Druski denies involvement gang rape allegation on social media.

Social media influencer Druski has denied allegations in a lawsuit linked to Sean “Diddy” Combs, calling them completely false. The lawsuit, originally filed by Ashley Parham in October 2024 and updated on March 9, 2025, accuses Druski, Odell Beckham Jr., and singer Jaguar Wright of involvement in a 2018 incident where the plaintiff claims she was drugged, abducted, and assaulted. Druski, whose real name is Drew Desbordes, publicly rejected the claims on X, stating he was not a public figure in 2018 and had no ties to the entertainment industry at that time. He expressed sympathy for real victims of abuse but remained confident that evidence would prove his innocence. The lawsuit alleges Druski assaulted the plaintiff while Diddy recorded and later offered hush money. He has acknowledged attending Diddy’s parties but denies any criminal involvement. Meanwhile, Diddy faces multiple charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking, though he has pleaded not guilty.


Hans Zimmer comments on the Oscars disqualifying the Dune: Part Two score.

Legendary composer, Hans Zimmer has addressed the disqualification of his Dune: Part Two score from the 2025 Oscars. Despite receiving widespread acclaim, the score was deemed ineligible due to an Academy rule limiting sequels from using more than 20% of existing compositions. While Dune: Part Two secured five nominations and won two awards—Best Visual Effects and Best Sound—its notable snubs, including Denis Villeneuve for Best Director, sparked debate. Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Zimmer maintained a light-hearted attitude but admitted some disappointment over the decision. Villeneuve previously criticized the Academy’s ruling, arguing that the Dune films function as a single, continuous story and praising Zimmer’s work as one of the best scores of the year. Regarding Dune: Messiah, Zimmer hinted that production is progressing quickly, teasing his potential involvement. He also revealed that while Marvel has approached him, he is currently focused on other projects beyond superhero films.


Nicolas Cage makes first public appearance at the SXSW to promote his new film.

Hollywood legend, Nicolas Cage made his first public appearance since being dropped from a lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend, Christina Fulton. On March 10, the Oscar-winning actor attended the SXSW premiere of his latest film, The Surfer, in Austin, Texas. Fulton had sued Cage last month, alleging he enabled their son, Weston, before a violent attack on her in April 2024. However, court documents obtained by People confirm she has since dismissed Cage from the case but is continuing her lawsuit against Weston. At the premiere, Cage showcased The Surfer, a psychological thriller directed by Lorcan Finnegan. The film, set for release on May 2, 2025, follows a man who returns to Australia only to be humiliated by local surfers. Seeking revenge, he spirals into an escalating conflict that pushes him to his limits. After its Cannes debut, The Guardian praised the film, awarding it four out of five stars.

Media personality, Wendy Williams was recently taken by ambulance from her New York City assisted living facility after throwing a handwritten note out of her fifth-floor window, pleading for help. According to The New York Post, the note read, “Help! Wendy!!” and was spotted around 11:15 a.m., prompting a police wellness check. Witnesses reported seeing Wendy waving her arms and talking on the phone before being quietly escorted out by officers.

Her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, described her as “cognitively impaired,” though Wendy has disagreed, calling her living situation a “prison.” Despite her struggles, she had been preparing for a return to television with an appearance on The View. The incident raises concerns about her well-being, as fans await clarity on her health and legal battle.
