Synopsis: Built around “Stan” – the iconic Eminem track released 25 years ago about an obsessive, unstable fan – the film introduces us to a group of real-life ‘stans’ whose deeply personal connections to Eminem mirror some of the many themes found throughout his discography.

Review: As an Elder Millennial, I graduated high school the year Eminem skyrocketed to fame with “The Slim Shady LP.” Eminem was the world’s biggest rapper for about a decade and remains one of the most popular musicians. While my appreciation for his music has stuck with my nostalgia for his first albums, I respect his stature in the pantheon of hip-hop musicians. Some fans have never wavered in their devotion to the man born Marshal Mathers, and the film Stans is dedicated to them. Not quite a documentary in the traditional sense, Stans is more of a love letter to Eminem’s music and how it...

Rupert Grint and Ed Sheeran are teaming up again over a decade after the “Lego House” music video!

The 36-year-old Harry Potter actor played the role of an obsessive fan in the “Lego House” music video in 2011. Now, the “A Little More” music video shows Rupert‘s character being released from prison after the stalking incident.

Unfortunately, as the humorous music video unfolds, it becomes clear that the past is not in the past as Rupert‘s character begins seeing Ed everywhere he looks.

As the music video unfolds, Rupert‘s character tries therapy and a stalker support group to get help for his obsession with the “Shape of You” singer.

Ed Sheeran has released a new music video, which stars Rupert Grint — again.

On Thursday night, Sheeran dropped the music video for “A Little More,” starring the Harry Potter alum 14 years after he appeared in Sheeran’s “Lego House” music video. And as he did in “Lego House,” Grint plays the same Sheeran-obsessed fan.

This time around, Grint’s character can’t stop seeing Sheeran everywhere he goes, including on billboards, at the gym, on TV and in a movie. But as he’s at the altar, and about to be married, the bride turns into Sheeran.

The lyrics to “A Little More” are as follows: “I used to love you, now every day I hate you just a little more / Life got better when I lost you, but every day I hate you just a little more and more and more / Blame it on your history and say it...

Ed Sheeran has unveiled his latest single ‘A Little More’, starring Rupert Grint and Nathalie Emmanuel, blending humour, music and clever nods to ‘Lego House’.

Ed Sheeran once again makes headlines with a song that surprises both visually and lyrically. The music video brings back Rupert Grint, reprising his iconic role from the 2011 ‘Lego House’ video, alongside Game of Thrones star Nathalie Emmanuel. What follows is a playful, twist-filled narrative that culminates in a cinematic ending.

Infused with a subtle blues influence and witty lyricism, the track delivers a message of self-care and moral courage. Sheeran co-wrote the song with Dave, Blake Slatkin, Cirkut and Johnny McDaid, with production handled by Slatkin and Cirkut.

Directed by Emil Nava, the video picks up where ‘Lego House’ left off. Grint plays a man released from prison, trying to rebuild his life. Things take a surreal turn when, at his wedding to Emmanuel’s character,...

Ed Sheeran’s stalker fan from “Lego House” 14 years ago is back — and in recovery. (Well, kinda.) On Thursday, the musician released the video for his new single “A Little More,” and it reconnects Sheeran’s fans with a character he introduced in the + music video.

In the original video, Rupert Grint (yes, Ron Weasley from Harry Potter) played a Sheeran superfan with a serious, unhealthy obsession — sneaking onstage during a show, hopping into Sheeran’s tour bus, and even chewing his gum.

But in “A Little More,” the Emil Nava...

Warner Music Group swung to a net loss of $16 million in the third quarter after reporting net income of $141 million a year earlier.

“We saw a broad based re-acceleration, with total revenue growth of 7% reflecting growth across recorded music and music publishing. Recorded Music subscription streaming grew 8.5% adjusted for notable items,” CEO Robert Kyncl said on the earnings call.

Sakamoto Days’ debut in 2025 was one of the most well-received anime debuts of the year. With a plot as eccentric as its characters, this anime quietly jumped up the rankings and became a fan favourite pick of the year. Its popularity did not stop there. Sakamoto Days has now collaborated with the long-running anime franchise Pokémon.

Chris Hemsworth has fought Norse gods, climbed canyon cables, and played live drums for Ed Sheeran — but there’s one challenge currently keeping him up at night: the future of Extraction. The Netflix franchise, which helped redefine the action genre on streaming, currently holds a solid 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is two films deep. But despite the success of both entries, Hemsworth admits progress on Extraction 3has slowed — and he’s feeling it, as he explained in a new interview.

“[Tyler Rake is] getting restless. We, the creative team, are putting together some different ideas and creative ventures of where we could take the whole place and the [third] film. But the intention is to certainly make another one. I don’t know exactly when, but yeah, it’ll be coming.”

Hemsworth’s restlessness isn’t surprising. The Extraction films have become a rare modern franchise that’s both action-packed and surprisingly introspective,...

Chris Hemsworth has pushed the limits of his physical fitness time and time again to play the Asgardian God of Thunder, but screen muscles were by no means his only goal.

In 2022, the Australian actor released six episodes of National Geographic’s Limitless with Chris Hemsworth. The endeavor was designed to challenge him physically and mentally in the name of longevity, and so Hemsworth went as far as climbing up a 100-foot rope that was dangling from a cable car in the middle of a thousand-foot canyon. Along the way, he discovered he had an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease, and so the Disney+/Hulu-streaming series became even more meaningful to him. (Prior to the upcoming second installment, the series was retitled from Limitless with Chris Hemsworth to Limitless: Live Better Now, raising the question of whether other people not named Hemsworth will eventually join the fold in...

Chris Hemworth is popularly recognized for playing Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but recently he's moved into documentaries with his series Limitless. In it, he explores health, stress, and well-being.

"The first season almost killed me," Hemsworth told theBBC. "And I thought, 'never again.'" The actor elaborated on his experience with filming Limitless."It was exhausting but also profoundly rewarding," Hemsworth said. In Limitless, Ed Sheeran teaches Hemsworth how to play music, he trains with the South Korean Special Forces, and he climbs a hugely dangerous dam.

"Being thrust into unfamiliar environments where you're facing adversity or risk helps you understand how fragile life is and how quickly it can change," Hemsworth told the BBC. Limitless made headlines in 2022 when over the course of the show, Hemsworth learned he had a genetic disposition to the devastating disease Alzheimer's. Rumors of Hemsworth's retirement stirred the internet.

Eight months after its anime debut, Sakamoto Days has now teamed up with one of Japan's biggest franchises in an exciting new crossover. Manga author and Sakamoto Days creator Yuto Suzuki released an official illustration of Taro Sakamoto entering the world of Pokémon in the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, showcasing that even powerful assassins can also be Pokémon trainers.

The illustration features Taro Sakamoto, the former legendary hitman, voiced by Tomokazu Sugita and Matthew Mercer, as he partners up with the Johto region starter, Chikorita.

Brad Pitt’s F1 is currently dominating headlines and box office records, but Bullet Train leaves it in the dust when it comes to a soundtrack showdown. The 2022 action-comedy movie Bullet Train, based on Kōtarō Isaka’s novel Maria Beetle, wasn’t just a thrilling watch due to its stylistic visuals, amazing cast, and twists, but also the music!

And even though F1’s whole album featured music from global giants, it couldn’t quite deliver the same emotions. Both movies had sky-high ambition, but let’s look at how they compare when it comes to soundtracks and what F1 exactly needed to elevate itself on the musical front.

Universal Music Group (Umg), the world’s largest label conglomerate, is planning a U.S. stock market listing in the near future, in addition to its current listing in Amsterdam. But is it a case of “Shake It Off,” to quote Umg star Taylor Swift, or a case of a “Perfect Duet,” to cite fellow Umg artist Ed Sheeran?

Wall Street analysts and investors will keep their eyes and ears open for possible updates from the Umg management team, led by chairman and CEO Lucian Grainge, in July 31’s latest earnings report or the following earnings conference call. If you’re sorting through the details of what is going on with the expected additional stock market listing, The Hollywood Reporter has a few answers on the who, why, when, and where.

This is a Must Listen! Ed Sheeran has teamed up with legendary Indian artist Arijit Singh for a special version of ‘Sapphire’. The new version adds another dimension to Ed’s vibrant summer track. Recorded in Goa, Ed and Arijit worked on both the original version (released last month) and remix version (released today) during their original studio sessions, with today’s release seeing Arijit sing a verse in a mix of Hindi and Punjabi and a chorus in English, and Ed sing a chorus in a mix of Hindi and Punjabi. The result is a blissful cross-cultural fusion of languages and cultures, adorning the song’s celebration of love. Both versions of the track – featuring intricate South-Asian percussion – have been produced by Ilya Salmanzadeh, Johnny McDaid, and Savan Kotecha.

Ed Sheeran says: “One of my fav experiences ever in my career was going to Jiaganj Azimganj with my dad...

At this point, fans have come to expect at least a few Taylor Swift needle drops in each season of The Summer I Turned Pretty, since author and creator of the show Jenny Han has a personal connection to this music. The songstress knows a thing or two about the complications of love, something Lola Tung’s Belly Conklin is figuring out for herself in this YA series, which will conclude with Season 3, premiering July 16 with two episodes. Han has even gotten permission to use certain songs from Swift’s rerecorded works that haven’t been released yet.

The possibilities for Season 3 seem endless. In May, the pop mastermind reclaimed ownership of her music catalog, opening the door to even more songs that might be included in the final season’s soundtrack. Let’s also not forget, Swift released a double anthology album, The Tortured Poet’s Department, in the hiatus between seasons,...

Andrzej Sapkowski is the talented author behind the internationally popular Witcher saga that has spanned multiple mediums, including the Netflix live-action series, animated films, video games, comics, and more. But it was Sapkowski's original book series that introduced the world to monster hunter Geralt of Rivia.

Geralt is known for his dry wit, and it clearly stems from the author's personality in real life. Sapkowski has cultivated a reputation for being a little grumpy during interviews, often speaking bluntly with no filter, going so far as to roast the adaptations of his story and publicly drag everyone from game developer CD Projekt Red (Cdpr) to fellow fantasy author George R.R. Martin. One thing about Sapkowski, he is not afraid to share his unvarnished opinions.

Chris Hemsworth (the Thor franchise) continues his quest to live a healthier life in season two of National Geographic’s Limitless with Chris Hemsworth, Limitless: Live Better Now. In the first season, Hemsworth explored how to reduce stress, eat healthier, build muscles the right way, and improve his memory.

Season two finds the popular actor on stage with Ed Sheeran and climbing a 600-foot dam as he finds new ways to, as the season two title suggests, live better. The three-episode series premieres on August 15, 2025 on Disney+ and Hulu, and on August 25 on National Geographic.

“Making this series has been a life-changing journey. I’ve discovered so much about my own health, resilience, and what it really means to live well,” said Chris Hemsworth. “I hope this next chapter inspires audiences to step outside their comfort zones and embrace challenges, because the impact it’s had on my life has been truly profound.

Following on the heels of 2022’s Limitless With Chris Hemsworth, the three-part National Geographic series is back for its second go-around with Limitless: Live Better Now, releasing later this summer.

Chris Hemsworth is back on his mission to uncover how to live a longer and better life. In the trailer, he faces three science-backed, high-stakes challenges to sharpen his mind and body. Hemsworth is shown scaling a frozen 600-foot climbing walls in the Swiss Alps, training with the South Korean Special Forces and even playing the drums for an Ed Sheeran concert.

Back in August of 2024, Hemsworth surprised 70,000 fans in Bucharest, Romania by playing the drums for the Grammy-winning artist on The +–=÷× tour. Hemsworth, who, prior to preparing for the concert, had never picked up drumsticks, played the instrument for the track “Thinking Out Loud.”

Chris Hemsworth will always be known for his role as Thor in the MCU, but just a few years ago, he also starred in a documentary series that’s coming back in a big way. National Geographic has unveiled the first trailer for Limitless: Live Better Now, the continuation of Hemsworth’s 2022 series that shows the star pushing himself past his boundaries for the sake of bettering his physical health.

The first trailer for Limitless: Live Better Now sees Hemsworth in a host of uncomfortable situations, all for the sake of improving his mental health and focus.

Sindy, the popular British doll that emerged from Pedigree Dolls & Toys in the 1960s as a rival to America’s iconic Barbie, may soon be singing her way onto the big-screen.

A2R2 Productions — the production company launched last fall by actor Archie Renaux and manager-producer Arjun Rose — has acquired rights to adapt Sindy and they’ve set plans for a “bold, feel-good live-action musical that mixes heart, humor and high fashion,” the team confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.

Rose, who dabbled in music with a live performance series called Laughing Boy that featured the likes of Ed Sheeran and Jessie J, will produce along with Renaux. The British talent was last seen on the big screen in Alien: Romulus. Daniel Hulme, a leader in the tech and artificial intelligence space who currently serves as chief AI officer at Wpp, joins the team as executive producer.

Leave it to Larry David to get both ironic and meta in a single short cameo.

14 Larry David: ‘Hannah Montana’

Larry David turned Hannah Montana into Curb Your Enthusiasm when he and his daughters made a very meta cameo: the girls complained that their dad wasn’t famous enough to get a table at a fancy restaurant.

13 Justin Bieber: ‘CSI’

CSI star Marg Helgenberger said that while Bieber was “very nice to me,” he was “kind of a brat” and locked one of the producers in a closet.

Prince was a huge fan of the show, a fact no one knew until his manager reached out to Zoey Deschanel with a very scam-coded message: “Hello, I am manager to legendary artist Prince. He is loving the show New Girl. He would like 2 B on the show.” They eventually made it happen, and the episode was...

Ed Sheeran says there’s one person who can make or break a new song when he plays it for them.

The 34-year-old “Shape of You” singer was a guest on Kylie Kelce‘s podcast Not Gonna Lie on the Thursday (July 10) episode.

During the episode, Ed revealed the reason that he sometimes credits his wife, Cherry Seaborn, on his hit songs.

“Cherry can kill a song,” Ed shared on the episode, saying that he doesn’t play new songs for his wife if she’s not in a good mood because he will choose not to release them if she doesn’t seem excited enough about it.

Ed also said that Cherry liking a song can encourage him to finish working on it and release it faster. He shared that her feedback is exactly what convinced him to finish his song “Bad Habits...

"South Park" is one of the best cartoons of modern times, full of biting commentary, hilarious situations, and a whole town's worth of memorable side characters. The show's humor has made it kind of a cultural Rorschach test for over a quarter of a century, having earned legions of defenders but also people who have tried to ban it and yielding many opinions on whether the satire is effective or just plain offensive.

Part of the appeal of "South Park" is the way it parodies pop culture and celebrities, which have had mixed reactions by its subjects. Reportedly, Tom Cruise hated his portrayal, as did Ed Sheeran, while others loved to be a part of the show, like most of the Jonas Brothers and George Clooney (the latter of whom was an important early supporter of the series).

One of the show's best parodies is its three-episode "Game of Thrones" parody,...

Four-time Grammy Award winner Ed Sheeran has revealed his favorite Star Wars movie. Ed Sheeran has long had a reputation for being a Star Wars fan; the award-winning musician even made two cameos in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, playing a First Order stormtrooper and an alien named Engi Golba.

Speaking in an interview on Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce, Sheeran revealed he has a surprising choice for a favorite Star Wars movie - a controversial choice many fans have actually tried to cut from the saga. "I think Star Wars: The Phantom Menace is my favorite," he revealed. "I know that's unpopular, but I was eight when it came out, and I really liked it... I liked Jar Jar Binks."

Ed Sheeran says his favorite Star Wars movie is The Phantom MENACE“I think Star Wars: The Phantom Menace is my favorite... I know that's unpopular, but...

One former Game of Thrones star and Award-winning singer/songwriter has just shared a controversial Star Wars opinion. There have been 11 Star Wars movies released since A New Hope hit theaters over 50 years ago, including the recent releases of Rogue One and Solo, which aren’t given the traditional episodic title, but still fit into the story. Few franchises are as opinionated as Star Wars — everyone has a favorite movie, and while some are lifted on a pedestal much higher than others, even the most maligned entries have fans out there somewhere.

Star Wars also has some famous fans out there who aren’t afraid to share their opinion. One of those is Ed Sheeran, the popular singer/songwriter who even appeared in the hit HBO series, Game of Thrones.

Sheeran wasn’t just recruiting Brown to fulfill his own adolescent dreams; in an Instagram post celebrating the collaborative performance, Sheeran explained that he and his two childhood friends had played in a band when they were 12-years-old, with “Teenage Dirtbag” being one of their signature songs. The trio had recently reformed after 20 years to play at a friend’s wedding, and Sheeran thought it’d be a good idea to perform a reunited rendition of “Teenage Dirtbag” at one of his concerts, with Wheatus’ original singer in tow. “So I emailed Brendan, and here we are!” Sheeran exclaimed.

Brown happily fulfilled his “Teenage Dirtbag” duties at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, with Sheeran singing along but mostly accompanying the frontman...

The singer then talked about his high school band and how, after splitting up decades ago, the group remained good buddies and even reunited this past April to perform at their friend’s wedding.
