Apple TV+ has given the green light to a second season of The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, the comedy-adventure series starring Noel Fielding as a legendary British highwayman. The series debuted globally on Friday, March 1, 2024.

In the six-episode series, Dick Turpin (Fielding) sets out on a journey of wildly absurd escapades when he’s made the reluctant leader of a band of outlaws — and tasked with outwitting corrupt lawman and self-appointed thief-taker Jonathan Wilde (Hugh Bonneville).

In this irreverent retelling set in the 18th century, Turpin is the most famous but least likely of highway robbers, whose success is defined mainly by his charm, showmanship, and great hair.

Together with his gang of lovable rogues, Turpin experiences the highs and lows of his new endeavors, including a brush with celebrity, while trying to escape the clutches of the thief-taker.

It's a Taylor Swift summer. Apart from taking over the world with her Eras Tour and latest single "Cruel Summer," Swift has now returned with another rerecorded album: "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)." The record dropped on July 7 - 13 years after Swift released the original version of "Speak Now" in 2010.

In a May 5 Instagram post, the star described "Speak Now" as a project full of "brutal honesty, unfiltered diaristic confessions, and wild wistfulness." Notably, it's rumored to include lyrics referencing some of Swift's most famous exes.

"Better Than Revenge," which is speculated to be about Joe Jonas, is considered to be one of her most unfiltered tracks since it's believed to not only allude to the pair's messy breakup but also Jonas's old flame Camilla Belle. So, what's the story behind the song? Let's unpack the rumored meaning behind "Better Than Revenge."

Meg Donnelly and Rodger star in the CW series as the future parents of Supernatural leads Sam and Dean.

Joe Jonas has a collaboration with Khalid titled "Not Alone" in the credits of his upcoming film "Devotion," and it's a particularly meaningful release for him. "I was asked to write the end-credits song for the film by our director, J.D. [Dillard], so I wrote it with Harv and Ryan Tedder, and I asked my good friend Khalid to join," he tells Popsugar. "Khalid came on and finished it up. It's a beautiful, tragic song about being away from those that you really care about and always being there for them if you can't physically be there for them."

Jonas can't wait for people to hear it. "It's spiritual - I'd say it's a little spiritual in some senses," he says. "I am really proud of the work we did, and I think it's one of my favorite songs I've ever written.

Joe Jonas likes to see the world through the lens of gratitude. He's been in the public eye for nearly two decades, and he's still happy to be here. "I'm really grateful for the career I've had and that I still have, and the fact that I continue to make music and I can grow as a person, and my music can grow," he tells Popsugar.

Of course, the 33-year-old has a lot to be grateful for. In the immediate moment, there's the fact that he's just enjoyed a gorgeous Labor Day weekend walking around the Big Apple. "I'm here in New York City, so it's hard to complain," he says. "My step count is way up."

He also just had surgery to correct his lifelong struggle with myopia, or nearsightedness. "Since I was about 12 or 13 years old, I wore contacts and glasses,...

Monday night on “American Song Contest,” Jewel was eliminated after failing to earn enough votes from the viewers and the national jury.

During Week 3 of “American Song Contest,” the jury of 56 industry professionals ranked the 12 original songs from first to last, with Tenneesee’s Tyler Braden advancing to the semi-finals thanks to his tune “Seventeen.” The most famous singer on the docket was Alaska’s Jewel, a four-time Grammy nominee and recent “The Masked Singer” winner. However, her uplifting song “The Story” (watch above) failed to connect with the jury, coming in ninth place in their rankings. Don’t give up, Jewel fans — she’s not out of the competition just yet.

During the third week of NBC’s “American Song Contest,” the national jury was tasked with ranking 12 original songs (as opposed to 11) from first to last. At the end of the April 4 episode, hosts Kelly Clarkson and Snoop Dogg announced the results: Tennessee country singer Tyler Braden was ranked the highest by the jury of 56 industry professionals, so he moved on to the semi-finals.
