i wrote about zara larsson, who is perhaps the first pop star to ever handle accidental viral fame correctly!!
www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...
A pop star keeps accidentally going viral with decade-old songs. It has saved her career.
TikTok randomly gave Zara Larsson a second chance at pop stardom, and she's made a name for herself by assuming the identity chosen for her.

Finishing up a story about how people are sometimes nervous to go on dates or be their authentic selves because they're afraid they might end up as content on social media. If this applies to you, let's chat!!! #journorequest

i made a list :)
www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...
I read 115 books this year. These 10 were my favorites.
A gothic classic, a heartbreaking memoir from the child of a family vlogger and a fast-paced Southern noir are among the best books I read in 2025.

the last year has been transformative. my life looks radically different now, and so do i. spending a few hours as a rockette forced me to contemplate how i was going to talk about this, and to confront my greatest fear — being seen.

I spent the last year transforming my life. Becoming a Rockette for a day made me confront a fear I couldn't shake.

i spent a glamorous weekend at the las vegas grand prix to investigate why f1 is such a hit with the girlies 🎀🚗🌟🍬

What’s the secret to F1’s success with the girlies?
F1's under-35 and female audiences have grown by over 50% in the last five years. At the Las Vegas Grand Prix, I understood why.

i wrote about a meme that evolved from manosphere garbáge to a kinda sweet way to show vulnerability online :)

TikTok’s lion meme is helping people open up about what scares them
The quote, "The lion doesn’t concern himself with the opinions of a sheep," has evolved to represent tenderness and vulnerability.

i wrote about the case for taking the rock seriously as an actor and the parallels between his character in the smashing machine + the trappings of his own massive fame 🥊🤼🏆
www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...
With 'The Smashing Machine,' Dwayne Johnson makes a prestige pivot. Can 'The Rock' be taken seriously?
In "The Smashing Machine," the guy we're all used to seeing save the day in action movies shows a different side of himself.

i went to a watch party for the summer i turned pretty at a sports bar and it was genuinely one of the most delightful reporting experiences of my life!! everyone was so nice enthusiastic and thoughtful. conrad forever
www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...
I watched 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' at a sports bar. It felt like the Super Bowl for young adult romance.
Fans packed a New York City watering hole to laugh, cheer and scream through an episode of "The Summer I Turned Pretty."

I stumbled upon some very fascinating data: Bruno Mars has the two most-streamed songs globally in 2025.

They're from summer/fall 2024. He's not on tour. He has no new album planned. His stan army is well-behaved. So I investigated his enduring appeal.

No tour, no album, no problem: How Bruno Mars quietly became 2025’s most unexpected pop star
His fans want him to share more, but Mars has dominated pop by being his consistent, offline self.

had a lovely chat with Alyson Stoner about how writing a juicy (and authentic and vulnerable) memoir is all part of the plan to get people fired up about changing the very broken child entertainment industrial complex!!!
www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...
Pigtails, pink tracksuit, 'permanent performance mode': Alyson Stoner pulls back the curtain on childhood stardom
Alyson Stoner doesn't mind if you read their memoir, "Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything," for the chaos. Just stick around for the cultural critique.

well i went to katy perry's sold-out concert in NYC
www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...
It's easy to be a Katy Perry fan. It's harder to be Katy Perry.
Katy Perry’s breakup is still making headlines, and her latest album flopped, but I saw firsthand that the fans filling the stadium at her sold-out New York City concert don’t mind at all.

if you're looking for something to watch after work this week may i recommend the very bad war of the worlds movie? it's RIVETING. i was never bored. www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...
What does it take to get a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes? I watched 'War of the Worlds' to find out.
Ice Cube stars in the new "War of the Worlds" adaptation, which was so bad that social media users briefly united to make fun of it.

Everyone is listening to secular praise music. Yes, even you.
Benson Boone, Teddy Swims and Alex Warren are among popular artists who have dominated airwaves with vaguely religious music.
