Jeremy Allen White stars as Bruce Springsteen in the new film Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, and The Bear star says he felt an early connection to the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer. 

On the red carpet for the New York Film Festival premiere of the movie, White told People that in talking to Springsteen about why they were making a film about this period of his life, The Boss was “so honest” and revealed something about what he was going through at the time that White could relate to.

“He talked to me about a panic attack he’d had, and he described it to me as in this moment he felt like he was like a voyeur in his own life,” White said. “He was an observer. He felt so outside of himself, and he told me that story, and that’s a feeling I’m familiar with.”

He added, “I think I’m always trying to find some presence in my own life, and I worked very hard at it every day. And when he told me that story and made me familiar with that feeling, I knew there was a tether that I could explore there.”

In other Deliver Me From Nowhere news … A new behind-the-scenes video of the making of the film has just been released. It includes footage of White as Springsteen shooting scenes in a studio, recording the Nebraska track “Atlantic City” and more. It also shows Springsteen on set.

Asked what he hopes moviegoers will take away from the film, White shares, “I hope people come away with the same thing people come away from his music, which is hope.”

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere opens in theaters and IMAX on Oct. 24. Tickets are on sale now.

Oct. 1, 1995, marks the 30th anniversary of *NSYNC becoming an official group, and Lance Bass is here to help you celebrate.

Although Lance says acknowledging that it’s been 30 years is like “a dagger to the heart,” he’s still down to treat fans to some giveaways of merch he found in storage. He says in an Instagram video, “There’s so many good goodies in here, like one-of-a-kind stuff, samples we never even put out, and you need it more than me!” 

Lance announced that he’ll be hosting an Instagram Live Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET, during which he’ll be asking trivia questions and giving the merch away to the winners. Plus, he teased special guests. “Maybe some people from tour, maybe some of the boys.” Lance, of course, is very close with Joey Fatone, but who knows? JC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick could also show up.

*NSYNC released their debut single, “I Want You Back,” in Germany on Oct. 7, 1996, a little more than a year after their formation. The song wasn’t released in the U.S. until 1997. While it hit the top 20, *NSYNC didn’t really break through until 1998, when they starred in a Disney Channel special. It sent their self-titled debut album into the top 10. Once “Tearin’ Up My Heart” came out, they were off and running.

Ed Sheeran didn’t just write a song for the upcoming animated film Zootopia 2 — he’s also in the sequel. Well, his voice is, anyway.

Ed, Shakira and songwriter/producer Blake Slatkin teamed up to cowrite “Zoo,” a new song for film, which will be performed by Shakira’s animated character, Gazelle, Zootopia’s biggest pop star.

But Ed and Slatkin also make cameos in the film. They voice a pair of sheep named Ed Shearin and Baalake Lambkin. Ed has appeared in a number of TV shows and movies in the past, though the only animated voice-over he’s done has been in an episode of The Simpsons.

The song “Zoo” arrives Oct. 10; the movie itself hits theaters Nov. 26. In it, Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman return as detectives Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, who must investigate a snake voiced by Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan.

Following the August release of his latest album, Free, Kid Cudi has dropped another song. “Once” serves as a letter to his fans that announces his musical hiatus.

“This is a goodbye for now song,” Cudi wrote on Soundcloud, the platform on which he shared the song. “It was produced by myself with my homie Sebastian addin’ extra sauce here and there. Taking a break but wanted to leave u [with] something special and from the heart. [You’ll] be hearing me featured on my friends’ albums but as far as me, I gotta step into the shadows and focus on my other dreams.”

“Once” arrives following a video in which Cudi further explains his reason for releasing the song.

“It’s gonna be a while between now and the next Kid Cudi album,” he said, noting he’ll be taking a “pretty lengthy break.” “So I wanted to leave you with a little something that could motivate you, uplift you. … I made it earlier this year, just f****** around in the studio.”

In addition to making music, Cudi has ventured off to Hollywood, releasing his 2022 animated musical film and television special Entergalactic and directing his first film, Mr. Miracle, in which he also starred. He also created a comic book series, Moon Man, and recently launched his Wzrd fashion label.

In 2023, Florence + the Machine canceled a run of tour dates after frontwoman Florence Welch underwent “emergency surgery” that “saved [her] life.” Now, Welch is going into detail about what happened.

Welch tells The Guardian that she had a miscarriage after becoming pregnant for the first time. Upon a follow-up visit to her doctor, she learned that the pregnancy had become ectopic, resulting in internal bleeding.

“The closest I came to making life was the closest I came to death,” Welch says. “And I felt like I had stepped through this door, and it was just full of women, screaming.”

Welch had been feeling unwell leading up to the follow-up visit, but felt better upon performing a show.

“I didn’t want to go for the scan,” Welch says. “I thought, ‘I’ve done this show, I’m fine, I can cope.’ But my doctor’s insistence that I come in saved my life.”

At the appointment, the doctor found that Welch’s fallopian tube had ruptured and she had “a Coke can’s worth of blood in my abdomen.” She underwent the operation within the hour.

“And then, that was that,” Welch says. “Ten days later, I was back on stage.”

Florence + the Machine will release a new album, Everybody Scream, on Oct. 31.

Much like Dolly Parton did with “Jolene,” Meghan Patrick is squaring off with the other woman in her new track.

“‘Jessica, Jezebel’ is about the kind of woman who isn’t just a homewrecker, but who makes a hobby out of pursuing other women’s husbands,” Megan says. “It’s meant to be an empowering song for any woman who has encountered a ‘Jessica’ and felt the pain and betrayal caused by, first and foremost, their husband, but also the woman who pursued him, knowing the pain she was causing another woman.”

Meghan co-wrote the song, her first new music since 2024’s Golden Child. The title track is the Canadian singer’s biggest hit so far in the U.S., currently continuing its climb in country’s top 30.
