Following the release of the bubbly, dance-pop single “Looking For Love,” Anitta and Brazilian DJ and producer Alok have released a music video that depicts the friendly rivalry of their fanbases. In the video, which dropped Monday, Alok and Anitta each compete for fan’s attention and the top spot as the most recognized Brazilian artist, as a views meter tracks their popularity.

The single fuses Alok’s electronic dance sound with Anitta’s Latin pop vocals and describes the unadulterated desire to develop a new connection as Anitta sings the contagious hook,...

It seems like there’s always something jeopardizing the TV calendar of late. Just a few years ago, this virus you may have heard about disrupted production and threw television into chaos. Now studios are staring down the specter of a double strike that threatens to upend the fall TV season and perhaps beyond.*

*Here is where we make the helpful suggestion to Hollywood that they should meet writers and actors’ very reasonable requests to avoid this.

Still, the medium always has a way of chugging along all the same. 2023 has been no different with superb new seasons of classic series and out-of-nowhere hits delighting us alike. The year may not be over yet but it’s still never a bad time to take a TV vibe check. So that’s just what we’ll do! Here are the best TV shows of 2023…so far.

Disclosure have unveiled their surprise new album Alchemy. It marks brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence’s first project to be independently released via their own Awal imprint, Apollo Records, after leaving Capitol Records. Listen below.

Work on the album began last year when Howard started outlining sketches in Los Angeles with friends and collaborators Max Margolis and DonnyBravo before sending the demos over to Guy, who was still in London. After Guy took his own crack at writing sketches, they met up in London to finish up the album.

“There was this combination of deep heartbreak and sadness, but also deep admiration and appreciation,” Howard said in a statement about the album’s title, which refers to their state of mind going into making the record. “Let’s turn this horrible feeling into something beautiful. The whole idea was to channel pain into beauty — which, in hindsight, is always the aim.

From its writing and direction to an incredible soundtrack, “Dave” reached a creative penith this year. Nevertheless, viewership has remained low. One has to wonder if the newest season’s roster of guest performers was in part curated to fix that. Megan Fox, Jack Harlow, Don Cheadle, Drake and even Rachel McAdams all factor into Lil Dicky’s crude journey toward self-discovery, but the finale’s inclusion of Brad Pitt – Pete Davidson wanted him, but Dicky closed the deal – is so absurd and gut-bustingly funny that it’s impossible to ignore, which is sort of the point. And Dave Burd is nothing if not self-aware.

The third season’s finale, titled “Looking for Love” (no kidding), begins on the set of “Mr. McAdams,” a music video permitting our favorite man-child to serenade his childhood celebrity crush. After the shoot, Dave strikes up a conversation about window glass with Pitt, who...

The CW on Tuesday went public with its Summer 2023 schedule, and it's as acquisition-heavy as expected.

Family Law Season 2 is kicking things off on Friday, July 7, leading into the series premiere of Moonshine.

Family Law had a decent audience on the network last year, so bringing it back was a no-brainer.

Monday will be reserved for the acquired comedy series, with Son of a Critch, Children Ruin Everything, Run the Burbs, and Bump airing on the night.

In anticipation of FBoy Island's premiere on the network with originals in the fall, The CW will air episodes of Fboy Island Season 2.

As previously reported, The CW has also ordered FGirl Island.

All things considered, the schedule is a bit uneventful, and that's the tricky part of having few original series.

The CW's actual test will be how viewers warm to the network's new strategy.

The genre fare that has kept the...

[This story contains major spoilers for the Dave season three finale, “Looking for Love.”]

If Dave breakout Tenea Intriago had made her high school basketball team she (probably) never would have found herself holding Brad Pitt and Lil Dicky hostage on screen in the FX comedy’s season finale. The 4-foot-11 actress says she’s always dreamed big and, until then, had her sights set on the WNBA. When she didn’t make the cut, she turned to theater and hasn’t looked back.

“I feel like I’ve been really lucky, because I started my Hollywood journey in the South,” Intriago tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I moved to New Orleans in 2012 and joined an acting class. I had heard that there were movies being filmed here, and that year I booked my first movie. So, it’s slowly just been a climb.”

A guest 2017 spot on Claws, which filmed in New Orleans, helped her land agency representation, and once she...

Spoiler Alert: This post contains spoilers for the Season 3 finale of “Dave,” titled “Looking for Love,” now streaming on Hulu.

The already guest-star-studded Season 3 of FX’s “Dave” ends with not one but three of the biggest guests any show could hope to have in their cast: Rachel McAdams, completing a three-episode arc by appearing in the music video for rapper Lil Dicky’s (Dave Burd) tribute to idealized love, “Mr. McAdams;” superstar rapper Drake, Lil Dicky’s personal hero, and now, his mentor; and none other than Brad Pitt, who after making a cameo in the “Mr. McAdams” video shows up at Dicky’s door looking for a musical mentor of his own.

In both Burd’s real-life career and Dicky’s meteoric onscreen ascent over the course of Season 3, their collective appearances are a coup — a fulfillment of the A-list aspirations he’s detailed in his songs and on the show.

[Editor's Note: This post contains spoilers for the Dave Season 3 finale, "Looking for Love."]

No one could have expected the series of events that play out in the Dave Season 3 finale, "Looking for Love." The supersized episode is a star-studded affair, to put it mildly: Rachel McAdams continues her guest turn, appearing in Dave's (Dave Burd) "Mr. McAdams" music video alongside Brad Pitt, whose cameo takes a dark turn over the course of the finale. In the closing minutes, Dave bares his soul to Drake, his idol, and the two set out to make "some scorned love, girl-that-got-away type sh*t" in Drake's studio in Africa.

Warning: The article contains Spoilers for Dave season 3, episode 10, “Looking For Love.”Dave star discusses whether Brad Pitt was killed off in the season 3 finale. The Fxx comedy features some memorable guests who show up not only for cameos but for extended guest roles. Rachel McAdams, known for films like The Notebook, Game Night, and her Oscar-nominated performance in Spotlight, has a three-episode arc where she plays a version of herself and appears in one of Lil Dicky's music videos. In the closing episode of Dave season 3, McAdams is not the only movie star who shows up. Pitt has a prominent part in the finale. He's considering becoming a recording artist and spending time with Lil Dicky.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, star and co-creator Dave Burd (who plays Lil Dicky) was asked about whether Pitt's dead in the Dave universe after he gets hit with a crossbow during a hostage situation.

[This story contains major spoilers for the Dave season three finale, “Looking for Love.”]

If you’re a fan of Dave and you haven’t seen the finale, turn back now. You’re robbing yourself of a twisty, tense thrill ride if you read spoilers before seeing it. If you’re not yet a fan of Dave, go ahead and keep reading, because it might just be the push you need to add the show to your Hulu queue.

With that out of the way, the season three finale begins with Lil Dicky (Dave Burd) in bed with Rachel McAdams, who’s had a three-episode arc playing herself. They’re giggling and talking about their first loves before McAdams asks, “Are we crazy?” Dave replies, “I don’t know, but I would be crazy one million times over if it meant being crazy with you” before it’s revealed to be the “Mr. McAdams” music video shoot. In another scene with McAdams,...

Major spoilers for the “Dave” Season 3 finale below.

It’s always shocking to see megastars like Brad Pitt and Drake appear on television, but it’s even more surprising to see them on “Dave,” Fxx’s comedy about an aspiring rapper by the name of Lil Dicky. As huge as these stars are, securing them was “really not that complicated,” according to series creator, writer, executive producer and star Dave Burd.

“Drake, Brad [Pitt], Rachel [McAdams], they all watch the show and love the show, you know? So it just took me reaching out to everyone and pitching them,” Burd told TheWrap.

In “Looking for Love” Brad Pitt plays a version of himself who stars in Dave’s (Burd) music video for his new song, “Mr. McAdams.” What starts as a starstruck day for the rapper transitions into pure horror as Brad and Dave find themselves taken hostage by one of Dave’s fans,...

Spoiler Alert: The following story contains details from the Season 3 finale of Fxx’s Dave.

If Dave has met viewers with just one idea over the course of its three seasons, it’s to expect the unexpected — and with Season 3 finale “Looking for Love,” co-creator and star Dave Burd (aka rapper Lil Dicky) has delivered again.

Dave Burd and Drake in Dave‘s season finale

As the supersized episode directed by Kitao Sakurai opens, Dave is shooting his “Mr. McAdams” music video alongside new friend Rachel McAdams, with Brad Pitt popping in for a cameo. Brad hits it off with Dave and winds up coming over to record in his music studio, only for the pair to be taken hostage by the gun-wielding Bella (Tenea Intriago) — the obsessed fan introduced in the first episode of the season who is determined to make Dave her friend...

This post contains spoilers for the entire third season of Dave, including tonight’s season finale, “Looking for Love.”

Season Three of Dave was all about the show’s title character — rapper Dave Burd, aka Lil Dicky, aka the star, co-creator, and one of the executive producers of the Fxx comedy (which streams the day after on Hulu) — finally achieving his goal of international fame. After faking his own death — or, rather, allowing people to mistakenly believe he was dead for a day without telling anyone otherwise — he became a...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers from “Looking for Love,” the season finale of FX’s “Dave,” now streaming on Hulu.

Brad Pitt was held hostage, rapped in autotune, shot with an arrow and revealed his “real name” is Luke — all during Wednesday night’s season finale of FX’s “Dave.” In fact, the Hollywood A-lister might bring the underrated dark comedy its first series nom after three seasons.

Playing himself, Pitt will be among the guest acting submissions for the dark comedy, Variety has learned exclusively.

Taking place on a night full of twists and turns, the 46-minute “Looking for Love” episode — directed by Kitao Sakurai and written by Dave Burd and Vanessa McGee — shows Dave being held hostage by a superfan who just wants to “hang out” with Pitt, an actor and aspiring rap star.

It all starts when...

[This story contains spoilers from the season finale of Dave, “Looking for Love.”]

Dave’s guest star roster now includes Brad Pitt.

The movie star guested on the FX comedy’s season three finale as a version of himself opposite creator/star Dave Burd. Pitt, who filmed over several days, many of them night shoots, has considerably more than just a cameo. In fact, FX is submitting him for an Emmy in the guest actor category.

Pitt’s appearance, which has been shrouded in secrecy for many months, began with a passionate, personal letter from Burd to Pitt. In an interview earlier this year, showrunner Jeff Schaffer admits that he and his fellow producers wrote it off as another one of Burd’s crazy pipe dreams. “None of us thought it was going to work, except Dave,” he said, suggesting that it was yet another reminder that Burd and his lofty ideas and declarations should not be dismissed. In this instance,...

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers for Episode 9 of “Dave,” now streaming on Hulu.

Christine Ko’s Emma, the unaffected cool chick in Lil Dicky’s friend group in “Dave,” has been filming a documentary throughout the third season of the FX comedy, which follows Dave Burd’s autofictional title character as he embarks on a “Looking for Love” tour across America.

But the finished product isn’t quite what Dave expects, as Emma includes hidden camera footage of their editing sessions — which paints Dave as obsessive and controlling — in the final cut of the documentary.

After a family and friends screening, Dave tells Emma he was impressed by the movie, but felt “manipulated” by her, arguing that he never gave her permission to film the editing sessions. When he begins to offer feedback, Emma cuts him off: “This isn’t our thing. It’s mine. I’m not compromising my vision for anything…...

Befitting its meta narrative, the Fxx series “Dave” and its lead character, Dave Burd, tend to follow parallel paths. The first season sees the aspiring rapper (stage name: Lil Dicky) working to prove he’s a legitimate artist, not just a parody of real musicians. Similarly, the show had to prove itself as more than a prestige TV imitator — a low-brow copycat of “Atlanta” or “Curb Your Enthusiasm” distinguished only by its many, many dick jokes. Check and check. Not only is “Dave” telling its own story from its own perspective, co-creators Dave Burd and Jeff Schaffer recognize the opportunity provided when artistic ambition meets gangbuster ratings and designed a stellar Season 2 as a deep-dive into issues like privilege, auteur theory, and appropriation. To prompt such topics, Dave is given an opportunity of his own: a bonafide rap album backed by a record label.

But where the pressure of Dave...

We haven’t seen the last of Ally, the onscreen ex-girlfriend to Dave “Lil Dicky” Burd on FX’s hit comedy series “Dave.” Executive producer Dave Shin told TheWrap she’ll be making a comeback to the show on Season 3.

“Ally is not gone forever. She is definitely part of the unit,” Shin said. “I think you’re going to find, you know, this whole notion of looking for love, she was such an integral part of the first two seasons. I think it would be a shame if we kind of discarded her … She’ll be there for sure.”

Heralded today as FX Network’s most-watched comedy ever, “Dave” returns for its third season on Wednesday on Fxx, and this time around, the quirky rapper is hitting the road, headlining his first-ever tour (aptly called the “Looking for Love” tour) and setting his sights on finding a new love interest for himself.

We got our first taste of the original Below Deck without Captain Lee Rosbach this season, and now, it's becoming permanent.

Us Weekly reported this week that Rosbach will not return for Below Deck Season 11 on Bravo.

Below Deck Adventure's Captain Kerry Titheradge has reportedly been drafted to replace him.

The news is a shocker because it will completely change the series' dynamic.

Lee exited Below Deck Season 10 early due to a health concern, with Below Deck Mediterranean's Captain Sandy Yawn taking over temporarily.

However, it was recently revealed that Rosbach would return at some point during Season 10 to finish out his time on the series on his own terms.

Netflix's Bridgerton is losing another original cast member.

Phoebe Dynevor is not returning for the third season of the Regency-era drama, it has been revealed.

Dynevor revealed the news to Screenrant during an interview at the Sundance Film Festival.

"Sadly [I'm] not in Season 3," Dynevor told the outlet. 

However, she is not closing the door on a return, revealing she could "potentially" appear in future seasons.

The star said she's "just excited to watch [Season 3] as a viewer."

Dynevor was co-lead of the hit drama's freshman season, where she starred opposite Regé-Jean Page.

They played star-crossed lovers Daphne Bridgerton and Duke of Hastings Simon Basset.

Page announced his departure following the first season, leading to fans demanding his return.

The actor said he only signed a one-year deal and had fulfilled it.

Bridgerton was a breakout role.

Initially, it was expected that Dynevor would also not be a part of the sophomore season.

The summer hit “Love Island” is back with 12 new singles, ready to mingle — CBS announced the new cast on Tuesday and you can see them all right here now.

While Season 2 had to be partially filmed in Las Vegas thanks to *points at Covid-19*, the new installment is filming after things have (mostly) reopened, and that means they’re in Hawii, where the contestants will, per usual, partner off and compete in different challenges to test their loyalties to each other. Viewers, of course, can vote and have input on who goes on dates, who’s up for elimination and which couple is the eventual winner of the series.

Arie Luyendyk Jr. couldn't believe he was chosen to be the Bachelor, but he couldn't be happier that he was. 

"I really just jumped on a plane," the 36-year-old race car driver told Et's Lauren Zima at his first official Bachelor photo shoot in September. "It came as such a pleasant surprise. I mean, the timing of my life is just perfect, so I got the call, and I'm here and it's crazy." 

The timing was certainly right for Luyendyk, who revealed in December after filming had wrapped, that being the Bachelor was "an amazing experience." "I'm very happy," he gushed. 

Though the Arizona native refused declined to share whether he was engaged, he spilled plenty of other secrets about his season. Check out nine things to expect in season 22 in Luyendyk's own words.

Edgerton, it seems, is becoming something of a Nichols regular — and just ask Michael Shannon, Nichols is very good to his regulars — having starred in both of Nichols’ 2016 releases, including both “Loving” and “Midnight Special.” In fact, it was Edgerton’s work on the sci-fi drama that convinced Nichols he was the right actor to portray the gruff protagonist of his feature, Richard Loving. It’s a role short on lines (Richard wasn’t much of a talker), but long on emotional resonance.

Looking for love is difficult for everyone, and the contestants of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are proof of that. Some of these contestants have been through more than we could ever imagine, but they still march on in their quest for love. If that isn't inspiration enough for you to always keep searching for love, nothing is. Here are six backstories from The Bachelor and Bachelorette that will have you reaching for tissues.

Steve Harvey is a master at giving advice, whether solicited and unsolicited. His show focuses on solving the problems of the everyday American, especially women.

Every day, he invites women of all ages to his talk show and answers their questions about love, life, and relationships of all kinds. Much of the time, he just makes fun of the questioner or brushes her questions aside while he pursues his own agenda.

But sometimes, he actually says something worth using. Here are some of Steve Harvey’s best pieces of advice.

Start Investing

During one of his shows, Harvey decided to forgo straight relationship advice and look at something everyone’s interested in: money. He invited 34-year-old Tim Sykes onto the show to talk about how he personally made millions through investing.

By taking $12,000 from his bar mitzvah money, Sykes was able to earn $70,000 from penny stock investments, which he later turned into a million dollars.

Everyone wants Lucy Sherrington. Well, every man wants Lucy Sherrington, and in the world where Nick Wernham’s “No Stranger Than Love” takes place, that’s enough to create an entire character (and drive a good chunk of a film’s narrative). From her teenage art students to her bosses, from a local cop to the old man at the hardware store (who snarls, “You make a man growl, that’s all there is to it!”), everyone wants Lucy Sherrington, and damn if they don’t feel like it’s a-okay to say so.

Looking for love on reality TV is tough to begin with, but when Juan Pablo Galvais is The Bachelor—well, we all know how that went down.

Her issues with Juan Pablo, though, actually started earlier than you think.

When I first watched Looking on television, I will admit that it didn’t hook me and I moved on to other things. The first episode just didn’t seem to have that spark that I was looking for to keep my interest. Now with the release of Looking: The Complete First Season though I decided to give it another chance, and I’m glad I did.

Looking focuses on Patrick (Jonathan Groff), Augustin (Frankie J. Álvarez) and Dom (Murray Bartlett) three best friends all Looking for love. Patrick is the main focus of the show as the less grounded of the group as he flits between potential partners looking for the right man, or just random dates for the night.

You could almost call this the girl power edition of "The Bachelor." Almost. Not that we get to the action with any speed whatsever. Yay, let's get Sean and Catherine on the floor. Very much in love, whatever whatever. Could not care any less. Oh, they had sex, by the way. "Quick fireworks," says Catherine of the big moment. Zing! Okay, that one...
