The Weeknd to join forces with Apple for an immersive music experience.
Canadian artist The Weeknd is set to release an immersive experience titled “Open Hearts,” launching exclusively on Apple’s Vision Pro AR headset and in select stores on Friday, November 15. A teaser shows an ambulance racing down a street before The Weeknd steps through doors into a bright light, shedding a dark cloak. Described as a “surreal, haunting cityscape,” the project promises a unique sonic journey. It’s unclear if it will feature new or familiar music. The Weeknd’s recent releases include three singles from his upcoming album Hurry Up Tomorrow, starting with September’s “Dancing In The Flames,” shot on an iPhone 16 Pro, followed by “Timeless” with Playboi Carti and “São Paulo” with Anitta. Both songs premiered live in São Paulo earlier this year. Additionally, he’s working on a psychological thriller film, also titled Hurry Up Tomorrow, set for a 2025 release.

Ten limited edition Batmobiles set to be sold by Warner Bros. at $3 million each.
Warner Bros. is reportedly selling 10 limited-edition Batmobiles, or “Tumblers,” from The Dark Knight trilogy. Offered by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP) and Relevance International, each Tumbler is priced at $3 million and comes “street legal,” featuring a powerful 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine that delivers 525 horsepower and 486 lb-ft of torque. Built around a custom steel tube frame, the Tumbler boasts a body crafted from carbon, Kevlar, fiberglass, and metal with a sleek black finish. While it includes unique features like a smoke screen and non-flaming jet engine, it’s not road-legal. The interior is designed to mirror the movie’s setup, with customization options, including right-hand drive. This release is part of the Wayne Enterprises Experience, a high-end brand launched by WBDGCP in 2022, offering luxury Batman-inspired products across fashion, art, real estate, and more.

Her favorites, marked with stars, include “Cards,” “Acts Of Service,” “Make It Up,” “Did I Lie,” and “Crack”—the latter of which she was listening to at the time of her post.

Denzel Washington says he will retire from acting after his next batch of films.
Hollywood legend, Denzel Washington recently shared that Black Panther 3 is one of the few films he plans to make as he nears the end of his career. Speaking to Australia’s Today while promoting Gladiator II, Washington revealed that director Ryan Coogler is writing him a role in the next Black Panther installment. This will be among Washington’s final projects, along with a Steve McQueen film and a new adaptation of Othello. He noted, “I played Othello at 22. I’m about to play Othello at 70,” with the Shakespeare production set to open on Broadway in early 2025, co-starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Washington will also star as Hannibal in a Netflix-backed project directed by Antoine Fuqua. Notably, a Black Panther performance will be a full circle moment for Denzel, who Chadwick Boseman credited as a major supporter of his career, saying, “There is no Black Panther Without Denzel Washington.”
Denzel Washington says he will retire from acting after his next batch of films:
