Sydney Sweeney Reveals How Glen Powell Helped Her Bag Tate McRae Song Gig
Here's how Sydney Sweeney ended up on a Tate McRae song.
Sydney Sweeney recently shared the backstory behind her unexpected feature on Tate McRae's song 'Miss Possessive.' She credited her Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell for making the connection happen.
During a guest appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Clarkson asked how the collaboration happened and whether Sweeney already knew McRae. Sweeney admitted she had long admired McRae's work, saying, 'So, I have been a huge fan of her music. I think she's so beyond talented and she's so hot.' She went on to explain how collaboration came together after Powell acted as the go-between.
According to Sweeney, 'Glen actually connected me with her. He was like, 'Hey, Tate wants me to connect you two. Can I give her your number?' I said, 'Yeah, sure.'' Following that introduction, McRae contacted Sweeney and asked her to send a voice recording for her upcoming album. The actress said, 'She reached out and was like, 'Hey, I really would love to sample your voice for a portion of my song on my new album. Would you be down?' And I'm like 'Hell yes.''
Sweeney saying, 'No, seriously, get your hands off my man,' became the opening line of the album's first track, 'Miss Possessive,' which appears on McRae's So Close to What. The moment quickly became a highlight for fans, who were surprised to hear Sweeney's voice on the song.
Both Clarkson and Sweeney agreed that the collaboration was a 'cool' moment, with the actress clearly thrilled to be involved. The revelation arrived just as Powell's ex, Gigi Paris, appeared to break her silence about their breakup.

Of Notoriety: Ventriloquist Darci Lynne turning 21 with birthday wish to keep profession popular with new generation
Even long before ventriloquist Darci Lynne was of legal age to stroll through the famed glittering casino landscapes of Las Vegas, she was already a headliner in the most legendary showrooms of Sin City, along with her now-famous smiling photo with puppet friends gleaming from the towering animated marquees along the iconic gaming strip. 'I just played the Mirage Hotel and Casino in April 2022,' said Lynne, speaking from her home in Oklahoma City Wednesday morning. 'It's a little strange to be able to work in the theater space and be in the hotel, but not allowed in the casino area. But that's OK. I will turn 21 in October.' She is billed as 'an award-winning ventriloquist and singer renowned for her unique blend of skill, humor and heart,' all true as confirmed by anyone who has met her and followed her unique career of performances featuring her beloved puppets, such as Petunia the Rabbit, Oscar the Mouse, Little Girl Katie and wise-crackin' geriatric diva Edna Doorknocker. On Thursday, July 10, Lynne headlines one performance at 7:30 p.m. at The Art Theater, 230 Main St. in Hobart. Tickets start at $31 with other options such as a package 'meet and greet' for $128, available at or 219-942-1670. The next day, she and her rabbit Petunia hop up to Grand Rapids, Michigan, to the Wealthy Theatre for a 7:30 p.m. EST show paired with opening act magician Brynn Cummings from 'America's Got Talent' Season 18 with identical pricing at Lynne holds the distinction of being the youngest ventriloquist ever to win a talent competition on national or international television. Since her victory as the winner of Season 12 on NBC's 'America's Got Talent' in 2017 at age 12, she has appeared on 'AGT: The Champions,' 'The Kelly Clarkson Show,' and starred in her own NBC Christmas special 'Darci Lynne: My Hometown Christmas' aside her special guest stars Toby Keith and Kristin Chenoweth in December 2018. 'I was very shy growing up,' Lynne said. 'When my parents gave me my first puppet as a gift for my 10th birthday, it really helped me build my confidence.' Lynne said part of her youth was devoted to participating in scholarship pageants under the guidance of her mother, Misty Farmer. 'I remember when I was age 9, one of the other pageant contestants had a ventriloquist puppet she used for the talent portion of the pageant, and I was so fascinated by it,' Lynne said. 'I grew up with a family who liked to sing and perform. I sang with my mom in church, and my grandparents were in a band.' Lynne lists as her favorite mentors and established career contemporaries Terry Fator, 2007 winner of Season 2 of 'America's Got Talent,' and the versatile Jeff Dunham as her favorite inspirations, along with the late great Shari Lewis, who died at age 65 in August 1998, and her puppet pal Lamb Chop. 'I love all of the ventriloquists of the past, but especially Shari because she could sing with her puppets, which is very hard to do, and I also do in my performances,' Lynne said. 'Right now, I'm taking vocal lessons to learn opera, which is extremely challenging for a ventriloquist, but I want to add to my rabbit Petunia's singing talents on stage.' The roll call of other famed ventriloquists and great puppeteers of the past is short but impressive: Edgar Bergen (1903-1978) with Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd; Jim Henson (1936-1990) with Kermit the Frog; Burr Tillstrom (1917-1985) with Kula the Clown and Ollie the Dragon; Paul Winchell (1922-2005) with Jerry Mahoney; Wayland Flowers (1938-1988) and glitzy Madame; Senor Wences (1896-1999) with his talking face in a box called Pedro; and Rodney Hull (1935-1999) with his angry giant Emu bird foil. During her own decade-long career, Lynne already has a few favorite star-crossed paths. 'While performing in Nashville, singer Keith Urban and his wife Nicole Kidman brought their children to see my show,' Lynne said. 'They didn't contact my team in advance or alert us in any way. They just purchased tickets online and showed up, which was such a nice surprise when they came backstage to say hello.' In addition to working on her opera lessons, Lynne is also hard at work practicing with a new puppet character. 'My puppets are created and designed by makers, and often, I'll spot who I want at ventriloquist gatherings or conventions where the puppets are sold,' Lynne said. 'A few years back, I tried out a new puppet who was a one-eyed cyclops named 'Ivan,' and he is so cute, but it just didn't work well in my act. My new puppet is Andy, and I'm excited to unveil him on this tour.'

THE RUNNING MAN: Edgar Wright Breaks Down His Reboot's Leads and Talks About Earning Schwarzenegger's Blessing — GeekTyrant
Edgar Wright's The Running Man reboot is speeding toward theaters, and now that the first trailer has dropped, the filmmaker is talking about and teasing what fans can expect, from the revamped cast of heroes and villains to getting Arnold Schwarzenegger's personal stamp of approval. Based on Stephen King's dystopian novel (written under the Richard Bachman pseudonym), this new version of The Running Man isn't looking to copy the 1987 cult favorite. It's diving deeper into the source material while giving it a modern, unflinching energy. Glen Powell ( Top Gun: Maverick, Anyone But You ) takes the lead as Ben Richards, an out-of-work construction worker who enters the Network's deadly 30-day survival show in a desperate attempt to save his sick daughter. Jayme Lawson plays Sheila, Ben's wife, adding emotional stakes to the chaos. 'Richards is looking to go to the Network building to get onto a different show, to get some quick cash,' Wright explains. 'Then a series of incidents lead to him becoming a prime candidate for The Running Man.' On the antagonist side, Josh Brolin is Dan Killian, who's not just the show's producer, but the mastermind behind the entire bloodsport. ' Brolin calls his character, 'A guy who basically has created this show, and runs this show, and loves to create any scenario that he can that's going to bring more people emotionally wrapped up into the show, regardless of the consequences.' Lee Pace plays McCone, the lead Hunter tasked with tracking Richards. He calls the character 'a kind of murderous ghost that follows Richards through the story, trying to murder him, but also trying to put on a show for the American public.' And then there's Colman Domingo, channeling Jerry Springer energy as Bobby T, the wildly charismatic face of The Running Man TV broadcast. 'The most famous celebrity in the world,' Domingo says. 'Which is why we have to make sure he shines in every way, with his diamonds and his jewelry and his expensive Jacob & Co. watch.' Supporting cast includes Martin Herlihy and Katy O'Brian as fellow Runners, William H. Macy as a shady black-market dealer, Emilia Jones in a mysterious and pivotal role, and Michael Cera as Elton, a character from the book that Wright teases has 'a little surprising' arc compared to Cera's usual fare. 'It was such a thrill to be with him and also just to see him and Glen Powell together,' Wright adds. 'They're a very unlikely duo.' One of the biggest moments for Wright and Powell was Getting Arnold Schwarzenegger's blessing. The director reveals that he and Powell got on a Zoom call with the action legend, and it couldn't have gone better. 'It was amazing,' Wright says. 'We wanted to give a nod to the great man in the film — I'm not going to say what that was — and we sort of needed his approval for it.' He continues: 'Glen has been in film with Arnold; he was in Expendables 3 , and he knew [his son] Patrick. I said, 'We have to talk to Arnold.' It was an incredible call… He actually said to us, 'Out of all of my films that I've made, I've always felt that's one that would be a worthy remake, and I think you guys are all set up to do that.' He basically gave us his blessing, and it was an incredibly sweet thing to do.' This reboot looks to fix what many felt the original got wrong giving us a movie that's sharper, deadlier, and more relevant than ever. A brutal media satire wrapped in a high-stakes action thriller, The Running Man is gunning for both your adrenaline and your conscience. The hunt begins November 7.
