It’s a show about two guys and Canadian hockey, but it’s family-friendly.

Michael Bublé and his pal Drew Scott of the show Property Brothers will be the stars of a new Prime Video series called Hometown Giants. The two stars are minority owners of the Vancouver Giants, a major junior hockey league featuring players ages 16-20, which serves as a talent pool for the NHL.

The six-episode series will follow the young players as they face “constant pressure, sacrifice and life-changing decisions.” It will debut this fall.

According to Northeast Now, the first episode finds Michael and Drew calling their pal and fellow Canadian, Ryan Reynolds, for advice about buying into the struggling Giants. Ryan went through a similar experience when he purchased a Welsh soccer team for his docuseries, Welcome to Wrexham. Michael said Ryan’s reaction was: “What are you doing, idiots? You know what you’re getting into?” 

“All Canadian celebrities, they buy a sports team, that’s just what we do,” Michael continued. “His advice was, ‘Don’t do it.’”

Shinedown has premiered the video for “Young Again,” a track off the band’s just-released new album, EI8HT.

The clip cuts between the band performing in a field and footage of kids running around and playing with each other, which fits with the nostalgic, Breakfast Club-referencing lyrics.

You can watch the “Young Again” video on YouTube.

EI8HT, the aptly titled eighth Shinedown album and the follow-up to 2022’s Planet Zero, dropped Friday. It also includes the singles “Dance, Kid, Dance,” “Three Six Five,” “Searchlight,” “Killing Fields” and “Safe and Sound.”

Shinedown is currently on a U.S. tour, which continues Saturday in Tampa, Florida.

Olivia Dean’s duet with Sam Fender, “Rein Me In” — which just made Spotify’s list of “songs of the summer” contenders — has tied a chart record set last year by Alex Warren.

The song has notched a 13th week at #1 on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart. As per Billboard, “Reign Me In” is now tied with Alex’s “Ordinary” as the longest-running song of the 2020s. Until Alex broke it in 2025, the previous record was 11 weeks, held by Ed Sheeran’s “Bad Habits.”

“Rein Me In” is a song that Sam originally recorded for his album People Watching. It was then released as a remix with Olivia singing on it; the two have also performed the song live onstage together.

So far, “Rein Me In” has yet to have the same success in the U.S. But Olivia is doing just fine on her own, with two massive hits: “Man I Need” and “So Easy (To Fall in Love).” She brings her The Art of Loving tour to the U.S. July 10 in San Francisco.

When Lauren Alaina hears her new song, she can’t help but think about how far her life has come.

“I wrote ‘Better Off’ from the perspective of a girl who finally realizes she didn’t lose anything by being cheated on … in a lot of ways, she ended up much better off,” she says. “It’s full of sass and attitude, but underneath it all, it’s really about growth and knowing your worth.”

“I’m in such a beautiful season of life now with my husband and daughter,” she adds, “and this song feels like finally closing the door on a different stage of my life.”

“Better Off” is the latest track from Lauren’s new album, Stages, which drops Aug. 28. It also includes her top-25 hit with Chase Matthew, “All My Exes,” and the previously released “Raining Whiskey.”

After heading out on the Songs of Summer trek with Darius Rucker, Lauren’s set to launch The Stages Tour Oct. 1 in Milwaukee.

Madonna’s romantic life is the stuff of legend, but she’s willing to name one of her past lovers as being the “best” — with one important caveat.

The Queen of Pop sat for a short video NSFW conversation with several gay friends for the LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr, including her former opening act Bob the Drag Queen, designer Raul Lopez and playwright Jeremy O. Harris. During the conversation, Madonna was asked who her best lover was — except the word “lover” was not used, if you know what we mean.

“Oh my God,” Madonna says. “I’m gonna only name dead people.” She then whispers, “John Kennedy Jr.” 

Raul Lopez notes that “everyone says” the late attorney and publisher, who died in 1999, was good in bed, adding that Madonna is “the third person” to say that, as she nods in agreement. 

Madonna also reveals that her “post-coital room service order” is a club sandwich, her “sex playlist” is mostly classical music, and that she feels the “Mother” nickname given to her by the LGBTQ+ community has a lot to do with being “protective.”

“When I first came to New York and started seeing — especially at the beginning at the AIDS epidemic, I saw how s*** people were to gays, and that’s all I wanted to do is take care of them and fight for them and give them courage,” she says. “When I was coming up, they were my ride-or-dies. I didn’t feel judged by them.”

To which Bob the Drag Queen replies, “That’s impressive, to not be judged by the judgiest group in the world!”
