Rob Zombie‘s film adaptation of The Munsters will make its debut this fall on Netflix.

That news comes from the “Dragula” rocker himself, who has announced in an Instagram post that his movie will premiere on the streaming service this fall alongside Wednesday, a live-action series directed by Tim Burton based on the character from the other monster family sitcom of the ’60s, The Addams Family.

“This fall we are gonna spook-out like it’s 1964!” Zombie writes. “Yep, The Munsters and The Addams Family are returning to the boob tube at the same time courtesy of @netflix.”

“It’s been 58 years since this clash of the titans first happened,” he adds. “Perfect entertainment for your pumpkin carving party.”

Zombie’s The Munsters stars Jeff Daniel Phillips, Sheri Moon Zombie and Daniel Roebuck as Herman, Lily and Grandpa Munster, respectively. Its first trailer, which focuses on how Herman and Lily first met, premiered last week.

July 4th may be behind us, but in country music, American pride is a year-round thing: Just ask Brian Kelley, who celebrates patriotism in his new release, “American Spirit.”

His love of country is personal, and he chose to document a close-to-his-heart tradition from his home state in the music video for the song. The country star went home to Florida to film clips from the annual Grayton Beach Parade while he was making the video.

“We wanted to capture the energy and spirit of Fourth of July at home in Florida,” says Brian, who is formerly one half of the currently-defunct duo Florida Georgia Line.

“Our friends always set up a huge flag in front of their driveway, so during the afternoon when the everyone was at the beach, we did one quick performance shot for this music video to tie it all in with the great footage we captured of families and friends celebrating, soaking up the Florida sun, and giving thanks to our service members.”

For BK, the song and its music video aren’t just a celebration of country — It’s a celebration of the community that built him, too.

“I just love our town,” he continues. “Good times, good vibez and good people.”

Texas State University may be taking a page out of New York University’s book by offering a course about a pop star — and has chosen Harry Styles as the focus.

SWT’s associate professor of digital history, Louie Dean Valencia, unveiled plans to teach the course “Harry Styles And The Cult Of Celebrity: Identity, The Internet, And European Pop Culture,” in spring 2023. He tweeted out his plans for the course.

“It’s official, official. I’m teaching the world’s first ever university course on the work of #HarryStyles is happening,” he announced.

Valencia also shared the official brochure for the course, which says it “focuses on British musician Harry Styles and popular European culture to understand the cultural and political development of the modern celebrity as related to questions of gender and sexuality, race, class, nation, and globalism, media, fashion, fan culture, internet culture and consumerism.”

The professor later posted a TikTok to explain the course further, saying it studies how Harry evolved since stepping into the limelight; what influenced his art, passions and presence; and youth culture over the years.

If you need a refresher, NYU offered a course on Taylor Swift. That year, she spoke at their graduation ceremony. Will Harry do the same? Only time will tell.

In other Harry news, his hit “As It Was” has notched its 10th week atop the Billboard Hot 100. This is the Grammy winner’s first song to accumulate 10 weeks on top of the chart — and the 42nd song overall in the chart’s history to achieve this feat.

Over the past week, the song was streamed an additional 18.1 million times and downloaded 5,000 times.

Justin Bieber is still recovering from Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which paralyzed a portion of his face, and his mentor Usher is letting fans know he is doing okay.

Speaking with Extra, the “Yeah!” singer revealed, “He is doing great. Seeing him on vacation, we managed to hang out with each other, and I think that whatever he may be experiencing right now it’s actually really great to see that he has the support from his fans and his family.”

Usher continued of his protégé, “As an artist, I think we are all going to experience some things that people may not necessarily understand.” He explained that becoming a performing artist means signing up for “a life that comes with a great deal of pressure.”

“I think [Justin] has obviously taken the world on a journey. I am happy that I was at the beginning of and I am still a part of to this day, as a friend,” said Usher.

Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a rare neurological complication caused by the chickenpox virus, which can reactivate as shingles as it stays dormant in one’s system after initial infection. The Mayo Clinic says Ramsay Hunt is caused when a shingles rash breaks out near one’s ear. The rash can trigger facial paralysis, which is what Justin has.

The “Peaches” singer shared a video last month detailing the extent of his condition, which forced him to call off the remainder of his North American tour dates so he could heal.

At this time, the European leg of his Justice World Tour is still going forward and will resume July 31 in Denmark.
