Netflix released the full trailer for its upcoming apocalyptic dark comedy, Don’t Look Up, on Monday. The movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep and many others– including Ariana Grande.

While Leo and Jennifer want to tell the world the end is near because of a planet-killing comet hurtling towards Earth, others don’t seem to care and continue to joke about the growing threat.

Ariana is featured in a smaller role, playing air-headed superstar Riley Bina. The trailer shows her interacting with Leo and Jennifer’s characters, the two whistleblowers who discovered the apocalyptic comet.

“You guys discovered a comet? I have a tattoo of a shooting star on my back,” Ari says in the trailer. Another scene features her suspended in the air, dressed in white, as she sings into a glittery microphone while accompanied by Kid Cudi.

Don’t Look Up premieres in select theaters on December 10 and hits Netflix on December 24.

As previously reported, both Ariana and Kid Cudi are nominated for Hollywood Music in Media Awards for their work in Don’t Look Up. In the category of Song: Feature Film, Ariana and Cudi are nominated for co-writing the movie’s title song. Ariana is up for another nomination and is also vying for Song: Onscreen Performance.

Chico DeBarge has reportedly been arrested for possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The “Talk to Me” singer was taken into custody after officers found methamphetamine in his motor home, according to TMZ. Police reportedly  received a complaint about a man causing a disturbance inside a RV. Drugs were found, and when it was discovered that DeBarge’s registration had expired over six months ago, his motor home was impounded.

The 55-year-old was previously arrested for drug possession in 2007, 2019 and January of this year. For his latest arrest, he was also charged with false impersonation for pretending to be his brother, James DeBarge. James married Janet Jackson in 1984, though their marriage was annulled one year later.
.
Chico has recorded six solo albums, beginning with a self-titled project in 1986. His latest solo album, named Addiction, was released in 2009.

Chico’s brother, 64-year-old Tommy DeBarge from the group Switch, passed away October 21 after suffering from liver and kidney failure.

Warner Music Nashville

Cole Swindell and Lainey Wilson are vowing to “Never Say Never” in their new collaboration.

The hitmakers are teaming up for a fiery new song that finds two people who can’t stay apart. It’s set for release on Thursday. 

Cole and Lainey teased the song in a humorous video wherein they trade questions about things they would “never” do, whether it’s switching hats, Cole wearing a pair of Lainey’s bell bottoms, or Lainey accepting his offer of a White Claw, instead presenting two cans of Loud Lemon.

“Cole, what you say we do a song together?” Lainey asks, with Cole replying, “I’d never say never with you.” The two cast a deadpan look at the camera that leads into a teaser of the song, with them singing, “I never say never with you/I end up together with you/It’s hell and it’s heaven with you baby.”

“I’ve been waiting a long time for this one. @laineywilson LET’S GO,” Cole proclaims in the caption. 

“@coleswindell, I think we got us a good one. Super excited to share this one with y’all on Thursday!” remarks Lainey.    

The “Never Say Never” collaboration follows Cole’s most recent #1 hit, “Single Saturday Night,” and Lainey’s first #1 single in 2021 with “Things a Man Oughta Know.”

Ed Sheeran just received a major invitation from Seoul, South Korea.  The Mnet Asian Music Awards, known as the MAMA Awards, asked the British pop star to perform at their event.

Entertainment Tonight describes the MAMAs as K-pop version of the Grammy Awards.  They will be held on December 11 and will be broadcast worldwide.

Ed recently collaborated with the K-pop group BTS on their summer hit “Permission to Dance” this year and co-writing their 2019 single, “Make It Right.”

The singer has yet to comment on the MAMA Awards invitation.

This announcement comes as the MAMA Awards revealed that they are thinking about moving the ceremony from South Korea to the U.S. because of K-pop’s growth in global popularity.  If they do, the organizers will evaluate nominees on their international influence.

As for why they want to move the show to America, Kim Hyun-soo, who is the CJ ENM director-general of music content, said it’s because the U.S. is the “world’s biggest music market.”  He adds that these changes will help “further heighten MAMA as one of the top-tier global awards show.”

The MAMA Awards go live Saturday, December 11, at 4 a.m. ET/1 a.m. PT.

Adele celebrates new album with Nicole Richie & custom cocktails as CBS special draws great ratings

Monday night, Adele treated fans and friends to an early listen of her album 30, which officially arrives on Friday.

She posted photos of her listening party on Instagram, and captioned them, “Cocktails and crying all around.” The first photo shows Adele addressing her guests in a beautiful copper, brown and silver short dress that the New York Post reports is Oscar de la Renta

One photo shows a table lit by a candle with the words “Easy On Me” — the first single from 30 — written on it, while another pic has a list of the custom cocktails guests enjoyed.  The choices included an “I Drink Wine” spritzer and “My Little Love ‘Tail,” both named after songs on the album, as well as an Aperologetically Adele Spritz.

One of the guests was Adele’s close pal, Nicole Richie, who posed for a photo with Adele and some other guests, one of whom is clutching a green pillow with “30” written on it.

And because Adele doesn’t take herself too seriously, she also included a photo of herself sticking her tongue out, crossing her eyes and cradling her boobs while a guy — whom we assume was fixing her microphone pack — holds onto her waist. At least, we hope he was fixing her microphone pack.

Meanwhile, the ratings are in for Adele’s CBS special, One Night Only.  According to Billboard, the show attracted the biggest Sunday night audience for any entertainment show so far this season, averaging 9.92 million viewers.  That’s more than watched this year’s Oscars.

DaniLeigh has been charged with assault for altercations Sunday night and Monday morning with DaBaby.

The “Lil Bebe” singer, who has a three-month-old daughter with the “Suge rapper, is facing two charges of simple assault, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department confirmed late Monday to ABC Charlotte affiliate WSOC-TV.

DaBaby, whose birth name is Jonathan Kirk, told police late Sunday that DaniLeigh, born Danielle Curiel, assaulted him. Officers returned to the same address Monday morning and Kirk stated Curiel had assaulted him a second time.

DaBaby streamed Sunday’s incident on Instagram Live, and made it known that he was calling the police, saying, “Man, y’all come get her.” DaniLeigh claimed that he has been an absentee father and is trying to force her out of his Charlotte apartment,

In an Instagram Stories post, DaBaby said, “I don’t want no charges pressed or nothing. I just want her peacefully removed, which they need to hurry up [and] do as we speak. I ain’t even want that behavior on display but it’s OK, man this too shall pass, it’s all good.”

“I am a father. That’s the only reason why she is around me,” Kirk added. “If anything else is going to come to light it will come to light. I’m not participating in none of the foolery, man.”

A video posted by DaniLeigh and captured by TMZ showed her being questioned by police. She said, “I just feel like this is so unfair this situation…Nothing but genuine pure love for this man from the jump three years ago.”

“We have a child. Its very unfortunate,” DaniLeigh continued. “I will leave. I dropped everything for my baby to know her dad.. I will go figure it out.
