In between imagining dragons, Dan Reynolds imagined a new video game.
The Imagine Dragons frontman and his brother, Mac Reynolds, have announced the debut release from their video game studio, Night Street Games. Titled Last Flag, the game is inspired by capture the flag and “delivers 20 minutes or less of non-stop chaos, clutch comebacks, and buzzer-beating plays,” a press release says.
“When I was in third grade, my ‘what do you want to be when you grow up’ answer was ‘run a video game studio,'” Mac says. “Oddly specific, but I guess I really meant it.
“Dan and I grew up playing capture the flag in the woods at night with flashlights, friends, and lots of adrenaline,” Mac continues. “Last Flag is our attempt to honor the purity and magic of that hide and seek experience—brought to life by the incredible team of developers we’re lucky enough to stand beside.”
Last Flag is due out in 2026 on Windows PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. For more info, stay tuned to LastFlag.com.

Despite living with stiff-person syndrome, Céline Dion still manages to attend special events. On Saturday, she took in Coldplay‘s concert at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium with her three sons.
On Instagram, Céline posted photos of herself with her sons Rene-Charles Angélil, Nelson Angélil and Eddy Angélil in the audience at the concert; the always stylish singer was rocking a three-piece tweed suit and tie. She also posted photos of herself speaking to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, and taking part in a backstage huddle with Martin and the band.
At one point in the concert, captured on fan-shot video, Céline was shown on a huge circular screen onstage; the crowd cheered as she stood up and waved. Martin then strummed a guitar and sang a little song to her: “Well, Celine, my beautiful sister/ You make my heart go on and on/ Near, far, you’re a total superstar/ Let’s hear it for the legendary Céline Dion!”
“What an unforgettable evening with @Coldplay at @AllegiantStadium…My heart is still singing!” she captioned the photos. “A heartfelt thanks to the band and their amazing team for welcoming my family with warmth and kindness. It was all…fantastique.”

AJ McLean and Joey Fatone aren’t just members of legendary boy bands — they’re also pals. So when AJ needed some help dealing with the prospect of his two daughters beginning to date, he turned to Joey for advice.
Appearing on Trisha Paytas‘ podcast, Just Trish, AJ said that “apparently” his 8-year-old daughter, Lyric, “has a boyfriend,” which he thinks is silly. But his other daughter, Elliott, is turning 13 this year, which AJ calls “terrifying” since dating is presumably right around the corner. That’s when he turned to Joey, whose daughters are 14 and 22.
“He gave me the best advice,” AJ shared. “So I told my oldest, I said, ‘When you do go on your first official date, whether it’s to the movies or it’s the mall, and the boy comes to pick you up as he should, I want you to say these exact words to him before you leave my house.’ She’s like, ‘What?'”
“I said, ‘You need to tell him to his face, whatever you do to me, my dad’s gonna do to you,'” AJ said. “Simple as that. And hopefully, put the fear of God in him.”
AJ then joked that he could scare the unlucky boy by telling him, “Hey. See all these tattoos? I got these in prison.” But of course, AJ notes, “All he has to do is Google me … dammit!”
If you’ve ever wondered how Dolly Parton managed to create her theme park empire, there’s a new documentary that will answer all your questions.
The Dollywood Dream was produced in honor of the park’s 40th season and traces its beginnings back to the development of the Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, property in 1961.
Dolly recounts the story, along with her business partners Jack Herschend and Pete Herschend, who transformed it into Silver Dollar City Tennessee in the ’70s.
Meanwhile, Dolly’s just opened another tourist attraction in Florida and was on hand for the grand opening of Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.
“I always find so much joy in developing entertainment projects that bring families together to create memories that will last long after their visit,” Dolly says. “Seeing my new show open here in Panama City Beach is another dream come true for me. I love going into new areas of the country and finding ways to bring truly world-class entertainment experiences to the folks there.”
Dolly wrote a new tune for the production, “Sail Away,” which is sung by the mermaids in the show.
