Lisa is coming!

The 27-year-old Blackpink icon revealed that she will release her long-awaited debut solo studio album, Alter Ego, on February 28, 2025, via her label Lloud in partnership with RCA Records.

In her official Alter Ego teaser clip, Lisa showcases five different characters representing facets of her personality as five points on a star.

Lisa’s most recent single from the forthcoming album is “Moonlit Floor,” which interpolates the classic “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None The Richer. Prior to that, she dropped “New Woman” featuring Rosalía, as well as “Rockstar.”

In an interview earlier this month, Lisa revealed she was “scared and nervous” to go solo, and spoke about her current image, as well as her massively successful K-pop girl group’s support for one another. Find out what she said!

Coheed and Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez has shared a cover of The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven” as part of his monthly YouTube “Claudio Covers” series.

With the recent release of The Cure’s highly anticipated comeback album, Songs of a Lost World, the Coheed frontman celebrated the occasion by covering one of the band’s classic songs.

As Claudio tells it, he was actually introduced to the track via the brilliant cover version by Dinosaur Jr.

“This song was introduced to me by some friends as a cover done by Dinosaur Jr,” Sanchez said (via the YouTube description). “They were skaters, so the reference to ‘tricks’ at the top of the song conjured up ideas of a smitten lover’s curiosity for executing kick-flips and rail slides.”

He continued, “At the time, I didn’t know much of The Cure’s discography outside of ‘Boy’s Don’t Cry,...

Lisa of Blackpink was the latest Celebrity Substitute on the digital series hosted by Recess Therapy creator Julian Shapiro-Barnum. According to a press release, each episode sees the host visit a different public school with a celebrity to “empower educators and help students achieve their dreams by investing directly in essential resources and tools.”

The series partners with Amazon to fulfill each school’s Amazon Wish List of essential learning supplies and resources. The show launched last week with their debut featuring actors Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh.

Earlier this year, Tyla and Lisa both happened to be free one night in Los Angeles — and it turned out to be perfect timing. The South African singer was preparing to release her debut album, Tyla, and the Blackpink superstar was in the studio with producer and songwriter Sammy SoSo, who’d worked with both of them. So Tyla hopped over to the studio and let Lisa listen to her entire album. “I didn’t know what to expect,” she tells Lisa, recalling the moment they met for the first time.

Blackpink’s Lisa made a stage out of the runway at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The singer joined the event’s first-ever all-women performance lineup to open the show with her fiery solo hit, “Rockstar.”

Lisa, fittingly dressed in a two-piece leather look, hit the stage riding a motorcycle suspended in the air, while backed by 10 dancers as she joined in for the five-star choreography. Toward the end of the song, the performance devolved into a fiery dance break as the rock star landed in the splits before...

A Place to Bury Strangers – Synthesizer

Aptbs have always been shrouded in noise and giant walls of fuzzy, affected guitars, and for their seventh record, Synthesizer, they’re once again upping the ante. The veteran noise rock/shoegaze act built a custom synthesizer specifically for the new album, resulting in a whole new world of disorientating sounds.

Lisa is interpolating a Nineties classic on her new single. On Thursday, the Blackpink star released her solo track “Moonlit Floor,” which reimagines Sixpence None the Richer’s 1997 song “Kiss Me” into a catchy dance-pop track.

“Moonlit Floor” — co-written by Jessie Reyez and Ryan Williamson — takes the original Matt Slocum-penned lyrics, “Kiss me beneath the milky twilight/Lead me out on the moonlit floor,” and switches them up to “Kiss me, under the Paris twilight/Kiss me out on the moonlit floor.”

Across the track’s two-and-a-half minutes, Lisa...

Lisa is back with a brand new single – “Moonlit Floor“!

The 27-year-old Thai entertainer just released her latest track, which features a sample of the 90s hit “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None The Richer.

Lisa debuted the song just last weekend while making her solo festival debut at the 2024 Global Citizen Festival in NYC.

“Kiss me, under the Paris twilight. Kiss me, out on the moonlit floor,” she sings on the track.

“Moonlit Floor” comes after she released “New Woman” with Rosalia back in August, and it follows her big night at the 2024 MTV VMAs last month, where she won the award for Best K-Pop for her song “Rockstar,” which she also performed that night.

Lisa continues to have a big year as a solo artist, after joining Louis Vuitton as a House Ambassador and filming the upcoming third season of The White Lotus.

Although his debut could be derailed by a potential preemption later this week, “As The World Turns” alum Van Hansis (ex-Luke Snyder) is returning to daytime television when he takes over the role of Lucas Jones on ABC’s “General Hospital,” last played by Ryan Carnes.

According to TV Insider, which first reported the news, Hansis is set to hit Port Charles on the Friday, October 4 episode, albeit contingent on whether or not ABC’s coverage of the Major League Baseball Wild Card Series causes a last-minute preemption of the drama series on Thursday, October 3.

While storyline details have not been announced, it looks like Lucas is back in town just in time for the awakening of his cousin, Lulu (now played by Alexa Havins), who requires a liver transplant.

Although Lucas and Lulu two are not related by blood, the show has recently made enormous efforts to rebuild the Spencer family,...

Actor Van Hansis is set to join the cast of General Hospital to take over the role of Lucas Jones. The actor has talked about his transition to the series, including how similar he feels Jones is to another soap character he’s played. The role also allowed Hansis to reunite with a former castmate from a previous soap.

Quite A Few Actors Have Played The Role Over The Years

Starting in early October, Hansis will take on the role of Lucas Jones. The character is the son of Julian Jerome and Cheryl Stansbury and was adopted by Dr. Tony Jones and Bobbie Spencer.

Since his introduction in 1989, the character has been played by a variety of actors, starting with his on-screen birth. Originally played by multiple child actors, some notable actors to play him since he had been aged up include C.J. Thomason, Ryan Carnes, Ben Hogestyn, and Matt Trudeau.

Blackpink’s Lisa is set to release her third solo single of 2024, following the massive success of Rockstar and her collaboration with Rosalía on New Woman. The rapper recently teased the upcoming track on Instagram, where fans got a sneak peek of the instrumental, which seems to sample Sixpence None The Richer’s iconic hit Kiss Me. In the short clip, Lisa is seen dancing around her Beverly Hills mansion, ending the teaser by singing the line “So kiss me,” further building anticipation for the release.

This track marks another milestone in Lisa’s solo career after parting ways with Yg Entertainment in December 2023 and launching her own label, Lloud, in February 2024. Her return to the music scene in June with Rockstar was a huge hit, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 Excl.

It's only been a day since its release, and the new thriller limited series The Perfect Couple has already secured a spot on Netflix's top 10 TV show list. In fact, it's sitting at the No. 1 spot as of Sept. 6, meaning it's Netflix's most popular show at the moment. But should we really be surprised? I mean, if you just take a look at who's in the cast, that's enough to make you want to watch it. The show's premise will pull you in as well!

If you're an avid book fan, chances are you've heard about New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand's book The Perfect Couple. Well, that's what this Netflix thriller limited series is based on. It centers around a young woman named Amelia, who is about to marry into one of the wealthiest families on Nantucket, the Winbury family. But things take a tragic turn when,...

Released in 1999, She’s All That left a lasting cultural legacy, becoming a quintessential teen rom-com beloved by millennials everywhere. It epitomizes the late ’90s high school experience with its portrayal of cliques, prom culture, and the power of love. Of course, we can’t reminisce about She’s All That without mentioning its stars Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachael Leigh Cook. On July 24, the former co-stars reunited, notably 25 years after their career-making film premiered.

She’s All That popularized the “makeover” trope, where an “ugly duckling” is transformed into a swan. Its soundtrack, featuring iconic songs like Sixpence None the Richer’s “Kiss Me,” became synonymous with the era. Prinze Jr. had already established himself with 1997’s I Know What You Did Last Summer. But his role as Zack Siler in...

Exclusive: Bartlett Sher, nine-time Tony Award directing nominee and winner for 2008’s South Pacific, will direct the recently announced Dolly Parton musical Hello, I’m Dolly, set for Broadway in 2026.

“How lucky I am to have the great Bartlett Sher direct my Hello, I’m Dolly musical,” Parton said in a statement. “When you decide to put your whole life up on stage, you hope and pray to find the right director with the right creativity and sensitivity to present all the blood, sweat, tears, light, love, and laughter that I’ve experienced over seven decades of living. My heart tells me that Bartlett is the man and the director for the job.”

Said Sher, “Dolly is one of the great songwriters in the American canon, and being entrusted with the opportunity to help her translate that glorious talent into the American musical theater is not only an honor, but absolutely a thrill.

Although some celebrities shy away from the topic of their famous parents, that's never been the case for Mau y Ricky. The Venezuelan singer-songwriters are the sons of Latine pop icon Ricardo Montaner. However, the talent in the Montaner family doesn't end with Mau, Ricky, and Ricardo. Mau and Ricky's sister, Evaluna Montaner, and their brother-in-law, Camilo, are also impacting the industry. If you listen closely, the elder Evaluna and Camilo's voices can be heard on Mau y Ricky's new album "Hotel Caracas," which also marked the brothers' return to Venezuela for the first time in over a decade. Family and community are core tenets for the duo.

"There's no hiding the obvious," Ricky Montaner says of his famous family. "I'm proud as a family that we've been able to lift each other up, inspire each other, and connect with people in this way. It's beautiful and special."

Exclusive: Comedian and writer Julian Clary (Julian Clary: Live – Lord of the Mince) will play the title role in this festive season’s London Palladium pantomime Robin Hood, with singer and travel show presenter Jane McDonald (Cruising with Jane McDonald) topping the bill as Maid Marion.

The annual Palladium show, now in its ninth consecutive season, has become an eagerly awaited staple in the West End’s calendar. It runs from December 7 through January 12, 2025. Priority booking opens 10 Am (GMT) April 25.

Last year’s production, Peter Pan, with comedy legend Jennifer Saunders making her pantomime debut as Captain Hook, and with Clary playing Seaman Smee, was a sold-out success, playing 56 performances -often two a day – to an audience of more than 123,000 at the 2,200 capacity variety house.

When tickets went on sale, there was a moment when 90,000 people were in the queue, waiting their turn to book seats.

Les Amazones d’Afrique began in 2017 as a sisterly supergroup of singers from the West African region of Mali. Founded by Mamani Keïta, Mariam Doumbia (of Amadou and Mariam), and Oumou Sangare, and convened by French music-industry veteran Valerie Malot, the collective came together through a shared musical vision, as well as the goal of championing gender equality and bringing attention to the pressing issue of violence against women.

The group takes their name from the Dahomey Amazons, an army of female warriors who solely protected the West African kingdom...

A beautiful young Black woman sits alone at a bar, waiting for her date to show. When he does, he orders for her, brays about his job in finance, objectifies her “caramel” skin, and later, tries to secretly film her – and worse.

On a different night out, a man tells the woman that she could be a model – not runway, but print – and that while he doesn’t usually go for Black girls, she’s the prettiest one there. She witnesses another man, whose mates are bellowing about taking girls “to pound town”, taking upskirt photos in a club. She makes a beeline for them all, and not because her dickhead radar is faulty but because it’s fully operational and when she gets these men into a dark corner… well, that would be telling.

Empress Of has announced her fourth studio album: For Your Consideration, due March 22nd. Today, along with the announcement, she shared the single “What’s Love” featuring Muna.

For Your Consideration will be Empress Of’s first full-length release since 2020’s I’m Your Empress Of, and follows 2022’s Save Me EP. Spanning 11 tracks, the new record’s press release explains that it will be “a bi-lingual album that embraces camp and fantasy playing with the idea of Hollywood.”

In a statement, Empress Of’s Lorely Rodriguez explained that the title of the album is a reference to an ex-lover. “I was in love with a director and he was announcing his ‘For Your Consideration’ campaign for the Oscars,” she said. “He took me up on a hill and said he was emotionally unavailable and he kind of broke my heart. I went into the studio that day and we wrote...

With one foot planted firmly in the Kiss Me Deadly era of film noir and the other closer to The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, writer-director Allen Baron’s Blast of Silence begins with a brutal, uncompromising invocation of birth and ends with an almost mystically sensitive death. The story of socially isolated hit man Frankie (Baron) who comes to terms with his deferred need for human connection just in time for, one, Christmas and, two, a job that will require him to be especially cold-hearted, Blast of Silence is less a manifestation of the labyrinthine plot trajectories of great noir than an early harbinger of the DIY moxie of the American independent movement.

Baron’s blunt, almost perfunctory story doesn’t reveal much about the inner workings of its central character, instead taking advantage of the downright dull aspects of New York City, a city that films (especially noir...

Last week on “The Voice,” Team Niall Horan took the stage during the playoffs as all six contestants performed for a shot at making it into the live shows. In the end, three of his artists advanced to the next round: Huntley, Nini Iris and Mara Justine. That meant the other three singers — Claudia B., Julia Roome and Alexa Wildish — were all eliminated.

Gold Derby asked “The Voice” fans to vote in our poll for which of these three was most robbed, and the results are an absolute landslide for Alexa. In fact, a whopping 72% of responders voted for Alexa, compared to just 17% for Julia and 11% for Claudia. Do You agree or disagree with those poll results?

Tuesday night during “The Playoffs Premiere” on NBC’s “The Voice,” Niall Horan had the difficult decision of cutting his six-person team down to only three aspiring singers.

So which of Team Niall’s three eliminated artists do You think was most robbed in “The Voice” Playoffs? Vote in our poll below.

“Moving into the live shows, I think we all know that Team Niall is the team to beat,” the former One Direction superstar declared at the end of the hour. “The three moving forward are so strong and also completely different singers.” The Irish coach then reminded viewers, “I won Season 23, and I have a good feeling the winner of Season 24 is on Team Niall.”

As The Voice continued its Season 24 Battles Monday evening, one of them darn near claimed coach Reba McEntire as a casualty. After hearing Corii and Ms. Monét tear up Patti Labelle’s “New Attitude” in rehearsal, the country legend mock-fell to the floor — which seemed a pretty apropos reaction, actually. How’d the twosome do when it counted? And who else gave performances that should’ve come with a side of smelling salts? Read on…

The ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ alums have officially tied the knot after four years of dating.

Dean Unglert and Caelynn Miller-Keyes are officially married!

The “Bachelor in Paradise” season 6 alums have tied the knot, four years after they left the beach together back in 2019. According to People, the couple paid homage to Dean’s roots and got married at a private mountain retreat in Meredith, Colorado.

Camp Bell was the theme of the couple’s nuptials and also honoured to their love of summer camp, and Dean’s late mother, Debbie Bell, who died when he was a teen. Per the site, the couple plan to change their last names to Bell.

The bride walked down the aisle in a gown by Nwla. Later in the evening, she changed into a dress by Katherine Tash. Dean looked dapper in a black tux. The ceremony was officiated by Dean’s best friend...

A posthumous album from Lil Peep is coming next week. On Friday, the late rapper’s estate released the single “November,” and his mother Liza Womack announced that Diamonds will be released Sept. 8.

Womack said that the upcoming record is Lil Peep’s “last cohesive full body of work” made with iLoveMakonnen.

“Lil Peep and Makonnen completed the first fifteen of what would be twenty-one songs and would later be known as the album Diamonds in Los Angeles, exactly 6 years ago in August of 2017. Gus was absolutely thrilled about working with Makonnen,...

Montserrat Luna-Ballantyne is walking in circles, picket sign raised high, with a scant group outside an NBCUniversal gate on a Thursday morning that is beginning to turn warm. The striking Writers Guild of America member (With Love) comes to NBCUniversal frequently — it’s nearby to where to she lives, and she can take the bus — but this morning is slightly different, less dutiful, than a typical three-hour shift.

As songs like Sixpence None the Richer’s “Kiss Me” and Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn” play on a speaker at the gate, Luna-Ballantyne is doing the circuit, from one sidewalk to another, nearby one writer in a Xena: Warrior Princess t-shirt and another in a spaghetti strap dress. She herself is wearing butterfly clips, a choker and earrings shaped like the cartoon cat Luna from Sailor Moon. “I enjoy coming to themed pickets — it mixes it up a little bit,” she says while pausing.

The Cure honored their most diehard fans last night at the New Orleans kickoff of their North American tour with the first performances of Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me’s “A Thousand Hours” and The Head on the Door’s “Six Different Ways” since 1987.

Frontman Robert Smith sang the vocal to “A Thousand Hours” with his arms outstretched, asking the audience, “For how much longer can I cry like this? … For how much longer can I howl into this wind?” as his bandmates played the song’s dreamy synth-and-guitar swirls around him.

Jordan Fisher savors those 7 p.m. showtimes. It’s not that there’s a huge difference on the nights that Broadway’s revival of “Sweeney Todd” starts at 8 p.m. But the extra hour of freedom after curtain call at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre means he gets more time to spend with his family.

“I’ll get to bed an hour early and get up with my son so we can hang and have a little bit more time to chill in the morning,” Fisher says over espresso at a swanky bar in Manhattan’s theater district. He got married during the pandemic, and the couple welcomed their first child in last June. “A lot of my mornings are dictated by how late I go to bed. With a schedule like this, we go to work hours after people clocked out of their offices. My body has to get used to it.

Who would have guessed? Everything But The Girl have returned in one of the year’s most surprising—and welcome—comebacks. The married London duo of Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt quit making music together in 2000, taking time to raise their family while working separately. Fuse is their first collaboration since 1999’s underrated gem Temperamental, which topped off the amazing Nineties trilogy they began with Amplified Heart and Walking Wounded. But Everything But The Girl hit home with their trademark style of ghostly electro-pop, with Thorn’s melancholy voice floating through the glitchy beats.

When The Way Home‘s Kat walked down a staircase in a red dress to the sounds of Sixpence None The Richer’s “Kiss Me” in Episode 5, it was hardly the first time her portrayer Chyler Leigh had paid homage to the iconic scene from the ’90s teen movie classic She’s All That.

Leigh tells TVLine that the producers of Hallmark Channel’s time-traveling family drama “definitely knew” that the actress had already once recreated the moment in which Rachael Leigh Cook’s She’s All That character unveils her makeover while descending a flight of stairs to a stunned Freddie Prinze Jr.

Ultra HD puts Stanley Kubrick’s second feature film in a new light — his B&w images of New York lend a ‘Weegee’ flavor to the tale of a prizefighter who comes to the rescue of a dance hall girl. Kubrick does better sticking to the urban streets he knows so well; the cast scores via his strong direction and art museum-quality images. The post-dubbed soundtrack is the weak link, and perhaps Kubrick’s somewhat awkward flashback gear changes. But for 1955 he’s definitely a talent on the way. Kino’s disc carries an analytical commentary by Imogen Sara Smith.

Earlier this season Blake Shelton quoted an article from Gold Derby to remind everyone that he’s the most successful coach in “The Voice” history.

So which of them has the best shot at bringing him another championship? See our best-to-worst rankings for Team Blake below.

Next Monday and Tuesday “The Voice” will transition from its pre-taped rounds to live shows where the audience has a say in who stays and who goes.

Two of those spots will be determined by the audience votes and the last one by coach’s choice.

Blake Shelton‘s latest Knockout pairing during Monday’s episode of “The Voice” was Kat Hammock, the 18-year-old who’s been on his team since day one, and Lauren Hall, the 25-year-old that he stole from Team Kelly Clarkson in the Battles.

As The Voice’s Season 17 Knockouts continued Monday, five more acts were sent packing ahead of the Live Playoffs. Interestingly, only 20 singers will be competing in the Playoffs instead of the usual 24. Overnight voting will then put eight of them through to the Top 13; coaches Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, Kelly Clarkson and John Legend will each get to save one contender; and of the remaining vocalists, the highest vote-getter from each team will vie to be the season’s one and only Wild Card.

Taylor Swift and Jimmy Fallon just got down to some sick beats. On Thursday night's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Fallon and Swift took on the "Name That Song" challenge. The game is simple: The Roots play chords from a song and the players must guess the tune. Easy, right? Well... First up was a Britney Spears classic. While Fallon incorrectly guessed "Oops! I Did It Again," Swift scored a point for effortlessly knowing it was really "...Baby One More Time." And that's essentially how the game went, with the "Lover" singer crushing her competitor. In no time, she accurately guessed "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None The Richer and...

With some considerable help from Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Broadway box office held steady during the Fourth of July holiday week, even with two fewer shows on board than the previous week. Down a small 5%, total receipts for the 33 productions tallied to $34,108,643 for Broadway’s Week 6 (ending July 7).

A solid $1,331,046 of that total came from Moulin, Sro at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, where the musical played only five previews to allow for rehearsals. The show now shifts to a seven-performance schedule until the July 25 opening night, when it begins the standard eight-per-week.

Total attendance for the 33 shows was 288,107, a barely noticeable 3% slip from the previous week, when 35 productions reported figures. More shows than not reported box office slips from the previous week, competition with fireworks being what it is.

As with the previous week, director Alex Timbers’ adaptation of Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 hit movie was among the hottest tickets on Broadway.
