The Rapture Revive For First Tour Since 2012
'This has been a long time coming,' says frontman Luke Jenner. 'Years ago when I stepped away from the band, I was needing time and space to piece together my life. I needed to fix my marriage, be there for my son and ultimately work on myself. This tour marks a new chapter for me, one shaped by everything I've lived through and learned along the way. I've achieved everything I hoped to achieve through music, and now I get to use it to help anyone else who maybe needs it like I did back then.'

The Rapture broke through in 2003 with the DFA Records release Echoes, which boasted the iconic dance-driven rock single 'House of Jealous Lovers.' The group's last studio album, In the Grace of Your Love, came out in 2011.
'Sometimes people ask me if I have guilty pleasures, and I don't any more,' Jenner told SPIN in 2011 when asked if he'd ever considered working in a different style of music. 'I'm old enough to say, 'Who cares what somebody thinks.' While I'm not going out dancing at clubs anymore, I did that for years. It's still there. It doesn't take much to wake that up in me. I love dance music just as much as I love rock'n'roll, and I don't see much of a distinction.'

David Corenswet recalls James Gunn telling him to 'shut the f--- up' for asking too many questions on 'Superman' set
Just because James Gunn is the man who directed the Man of Steel, doesn't mean he has nerves of steel — a fact that David Corenswet's inquisitive nature tested a few times on set. In an interview for GQ's latest cover story, Corenswet recalled how he and Gunn worked together to perfect their vision for the latest iteration of Clark Kent. The Superman lead shared how the filmmaker and new DC Studios co-head differs from most directors because he'll "sit back by the monitors on the God mic and he'll yell directions at you, which is not how directors generally work." While some might be taken aback by that approach, Corenswet appreciated that Gunn was willing to say what he wanted out loud "without too much politeness and without beating around the bush." "If I'm no good, tell me I'm no good, and then let's work together to make me good," he added. Case in point: Although Gunn complimented Corenswet's eagerness to "help make the film as good as possible," he also admitted that the actor's eye for filmmaking started to wear on his nerves after a while. "He said, 'I think you're also like a kid sticking his finger in light sockets and sometimes I gotta slap you on the wrist and say stop f---ing doing that,'" Corenswet recalled good-naturedly. Gunn expanded on the sentiment to the publication himself, remembering that the Politician actor often asked questions that "make him better, and because they make him better, they make the movie better." "But every once in a while, it's just one question too many, and it's like, 'Oh, my God, just, David, stop, stop, for a minute,'" Gunn continued, adding that the "beautiful thing" about his working relationship with Corenswet is how he understands the director's limits. The director elaborated, "When I say, 'David, shut the f--- up,' David totally gets it and does not take that personally. And we have a really, to me, beautiful relationship in that way because I'm used to being very sensitive with actors, and you have to be by default, because many actors are incredibly sensitive because they're putting their emotions on the line onscreen. But with David, he's not that way. He's not sensitive like that." Superman, in theaters Friday, marks the official theatrical launch of Gunn and Peter Safran's rebooted DC Universe (DCU). Set three years into Clark Kent's tenure as the Man of Steel, the story follows the superhero's fight to balance his Kryptonian heritage with his upbringing in Smallville, Kan.; meanwhile, he's pulled into a personal battle with Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), who, as Gunn told Entertainment Weekly, is driven by an obsessive need to outshine the superhero. The cast is massive, but rather than slowly building the DCU hero by hero, Gunn drops audiences into a fully-formed world. Leading the way are Corenswet's Superman, Hoult's Lex Luthor, and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and they're backed by a sprawling ensemble of heroes, villains, and frequent Gunn collaborators. Corenswet previously opened up to EW about his approach to Superman's personality and how closely it aligned with Gunn's take on the character. "I had the same ideas about Superman, that he's quite reserved and has ultimate control over his emotions and his reactions to things," he shared. "I was very excited when James said all of that is true about Superman, but we get to meet him in this moment where those things are least true. That's where he's a little bit of Superman, he's a little bit of Clark — because the only other person in the room knows who he is and holds all the cards."He added, "It's harder in some ways to play Superman and then to do a great play or a dramatic film, because as an actor, you feel like the seriousness of the work somehow supports you. It allows the whole thing to feel more grounded. There is a unique challenge to playing a guy who wears his underwear on the outside and can fly. I think I had the great fortune of getting a little bit of both. I was definitely on team trunks-on-the-outside for this iteration of Superman, but I certainly felt James took the work very seriously." Superman soars into theaters on July 11.

Superman plays in Thursday previews before opening in theaters nationwide on Friday. David Corenswet stars as Superman/Clark Kent, while Rachel Brosnahan plays Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult plays Lex Luthor. Gunn, who also wrote the screenplay, avoids the origin story route as the action picks up with Kent already established as a reporter at the Daily Planet and Superman a beloved superhero fixture — but Luthor has a plan to change that.

What You Need to Know About Jim Curtis—the Hypnotist Jennifer Aniston Just Went Public With
Jennifer Aniston's dating life has been awash in mystery since she and Justin Theroux divorced in 2018, but it looks like she is maaaaaybe dating someone? Specifically, someone fans have dubbed Hypnotist Jim. According to DeuxMoi's reporting, Jennifer and Jim kicked off dating rumors in June when she followed him on Instagram and they started liking each other's posts. The pair were then spotted having dinner in California, but as we all know: that could mean something, or could mean literally nothing. But cut to this past weekend, and Jim was spotted with Jennifer traveling to Mallorca to celebrate July 4th. Daily Mail has some photos, where you can see Jennifer introducing Jim to Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka before getting onto a yacht. Seems like something, but again: they could just be friends! So, who is Hypnotist Jim? His real name is Jim Curtis, he has over half-a-million followers on Instagram, and he describes himself as a "transformational coach and hypnotherapist." He also wrote Shift: Quantum Manifestation Guide: A Workbook for Coding a New Consciousness (which Jennifer told followers she was reading in May). Oh, and one more piece of "evidence" before we go. Back in November 2023, Jen reportedly liked one of his posts which muses, "Is it better to settle or stay alone? The answer lies in nurturing meaningful relationships. Research shows that connections with others are crucial for happiness. So, don't settle in your love life, and don't isolate yourself either."
