Sydney Sweeney Reveals Glen Powell Helped Her Land a Gig
Glen Powell played a major role in Sydney Sweeney and Tate McRae's collaboration in 'Miss Possessive.' During her appearance on Kelly Clarkson's talk show, Sweeney lavished praise on her 'Anyone But You' co-star for helping her connect with the singer. In the episode, Clarkson seemed too curious about the duo's iconic joint endeavour in the song, triggering the discussion about Powell's involvement and how it possibly couldn't have happened without him.
'You were on a Tate McRae song, how did that happen?' the host asked Sweeney, who was thrilled to answer. She revealed being McRae's and her music's 'huge fan,' but admitted to not knowing her before that. 'I think she's so beyond talented, and she's so hot,' the Emmy-nominated star raved about the singer, ultimately dishing that Powell 'connected' them. She explained, 'He was like, 'Hey, Tate wants me to connect you two. Can I give her your number?' I said, 'Yeah sure.''
Acknowledging Glen Powell's role in the collaboration, Sydney Sweeney shared that Tate McRae reached out to her soon after. The latter reportedly requested a sample of her voice for her latest album. Both Clarkson and Sweeney unanimously agreed that it was 'so cool' she got to work with the musician, and all fans have Powell to thank for the epic collab. 'Miss Possessive' is the opening track of the 'So Close to What' album. It features a brief portion with Sweeney, saying, 'No, seriously, get your hands off my man.'
The revelation came days after Powell's rumored ex, Gigi Paris, seemingly broke her silence on their highly publicized breakup. Paris appeared on the 'Too Much' podcast and talked about a former boyfriend without taking names, revealing she knew exactly when to walk away.

'Mr. Robot' is now on Netflix — and this flawless techno-thriller has only gotten better with time
Whether you missed the hype the first time around or you're looking to jump once more down the rabbit hole of "Mr. Robot's" many mysteries, Rami Malek's hit hacker thriller series just landed on Netflix. And already viewers can't seem to get enough. All four seasons of USA Network's Emmy-winning "Mr. Robot" arrived on Netflix on July 3, and the techno-thriller is already sitting pretty in the #5 spot on Netflix's top 10 shows. It's hardly a surprise that fans would be eager to revisit the series; "Mr. Robot's" anti-capitalist portrayal of withstanding the yoke of tech-driven corporate control feels as relevant today as when it premiered 10 years ago. Before diving in (or should we say hacking in?) to the show, here's everything you need to know about "Mr. Robot" on Netflix — and why it deserves to be your next binge-watch. "Mr. Robot" follows Elliot Alderson (Malek), a brilliant but troubled cybersecurity engineer in New York City. While working for the megacorporation Allsafe Cybersecurity, he's recruited by an anarchist known as "Mr. Robot" (Christian Slater) to join a society of hacktivists. Their radical mission includes wiping out global consumer debt by encrypting the data of one of the world's largest corporations, which is also Allsafe's biggest client. Caught between his day job as a tech worker and his new secret mission to destroy the very system he serves, Elliot walks a dangerous tightrope. All the while, he also grapples with severe mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and dissociative identity disorder. His fractured sense of reality often fuels his hacking abilities, giving him a unique edge, but at the cost of serious problems in his personal life — many of which he doesn't fully understand or even recognize. Beneath that premise, however, lies a gripping psychological thriller that explores the isolation of a hyper-connected digital age as well as the perils of unchecked consumerism and capitalism. The show blends the high-stakes tension of an espionage thriller with the unsettling paranoia of a psychological drama. It doesn't just make computer hacking exciting to watch (and with an impressive level of technical accuracy, I might add), but demonstrates how it can be a catalyst for revolution. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. All four seasons of "Mr. Robot" landed on Netflix on July 3. The show was a sensation when it first premiered back in 2015. "Mr. Robot" wrapped up in 2019, before the rise of TikTok and transition to AI-powered everything sparked by ChatGPT and the like. Technology has only become further entrenched in our lives since then, likely why viewers are eager to watch Elliot and his fellow hackers turn the very tools of corporate control against their creators. Its message is just as resonant today as it was when season 4 wrapped. I'm far from the only one raving about USA Network's hit show. The first season received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama Series, and Malek won Outstanding Lead Actor for his breakout performance. Every season of "Mr. Robot" earned a 90% critics' score or higher on Rotten Tomatoes, and the series finale is a particular high point with the second-highest rating of the bunch (96%, just shy of the first season's 98%). The Guardian's Richard Vine described "Mr. Robot" as "perfect binge-watch material: turn it on and on again." The Rotten Tomatoes critics consensus for season 1 reads: "'Mr. Robot' is a suspenseful cyber-thriller with timely stories and an intriguing, provocative premise." With the show's recent arrival on Netflix, longtime fans who watched "Mr. Robot" during its original run on USA Network can now revisit it a decade later, while newcomers finally have a chance to discover why it's earned such a devoted cult following. Stream "Mr. Robot" on Netflix now.

Kelly Clarkson Postpones Opening of Las Vegas Residency Hours Before Show
Kelly Clarkson has delayed the start of her Las Vegas residency, just a few hours before she was set to take the stage at Caesars Palace, due to vocal issues. The singer was scheduled to perform at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on July 4, the first of 18 shows at the venue. But she explained on Instagram that the rehearsals had taken a toll on her voice, and that she needed to preserve her vocals so that she didn't do significant damage. As a result, she postponed the show tonight and tomorrow (July 5).

Why ‘& Juliet' is the smartest dumb musical you need to watch
The Backstreet Boys' 'I Want It That Way' might have made teeny boppers lose their minds a quarter-century ago, but the Grammy-nominated track might have finally self-actualized as duet by a playwriting couple haggling over how a show should end. (Apologies to Nick Carter et al. and my seventh-grade peers, but it's true.) Likewise, did you know that Bon Jovi's 'It's My Life' is secretly an anthem for coming back from the dead? Or that Britney Spears' 'I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman' is a tremulous ballad of self-discovery for a nonbinary person daring to envision, reckon with and claim their identity? The production is anchored by two generative constraints: One, Anne Hathaway (Teal Wicks) insists that her husband William Shakespeare (Corey Mach) rewrite 'Romeo and Juliet' so that its heroine (Rachel Simone Webb) doesn't kill herself at the end but gets to go on adventures, exercise agency and learn how to own her choices. And two, she's propelled on her journey by the incomparable pop catalog of Swedish composer Max Martin, with its earnest relatability and devilish hooks. In scene after scene, that premise plays like a theatrical round of pop music bingo. You wonder what bit of Billboard 100 ubiquity the dialogue is teeing up, and then when the first notes of Ariana Grande or Katy Perry strike, the first person in the audience to audibly recognize it wins. But everyone else wins, too, when P! nk and Demi Lovato hits reveal themselves in a new context, appreciating anew just how sturdy yet flexible Martin's oeuvre is. The overall effect is a bit like combining 'Six' and 'Moulin Rouge! The Musical' — a pop medley gives pop feminism to the Renaissance. Let's be clear: Pop and musical theater are different art forms. When we turn on the radio, we want something easy on the ears, that can fade into the background. Here, vocal flatness can be a virtue; it doesn't call too much attention to itself or demand much of its listener. So to hear conservatory-trained voices give shape, shading and heft to familiar tunes also offers a new way to relish what's special about bursting into song onstage. As Juliet absconds with a band of friends to Paris, where new star-crossed loves await, Webb gives her a voice with the depth of a cavern with many secret chambers of pools. Nick Drake, playing her nonbinary BFF, May, sings with both a feathery tenderness and a bristly inborn drama. Meanwhile, Wicks gives each note a beginning, middle and end of yearning, like a mom brushing the tangles out of your hair with loving firmness. Comedic chops are just as well honed. Michael Canu as a himbo gives simple ideas the soul-deep focus that's only possible when you have one precious brain cell. Mateus Leite Cardoso as the geeky François, Juliet's potential new match, uses a vocal fry whine to delightful effect; it's the nebbish's only defense against the forces of fate. As Lance, François' father, Paul-Jordan Jansen deploys an accent so cheesy that melted brie might actually be lining his vocal cords. Perhaps inevitably, '& Juliet' can feel like an overstuffed grab bag of romcom and pop music formulas. Tug at its easy girl power politics ever so slightly, and the seams unravel, revealing a narrative as safe and tidy as any Hollywood drivel. Formulas get a bad rap, but the thing is, they work. They release our inner pressure valves, quench our cravings. '& Juliet' works best when it embraces exactly how dumb those old tricks are. The Backstreet Boys should not be able to patch up a marriage, and yet they do — and we want them to — sure as a pop song returns to its I chord.
