Heartstopper may be coming to an end, but Nick and Charlie are forever.

The trailer for Heartstopper Forever, the movie conclusion to the popular Netflix teen romance series, has officially been released.

In it, we see Kit Connor’s Nick Nelson and Joe Locke’s Charlie Spring grappling with what happens to their relationship after Nick leaves for university.

“Everyone thinks teenage relationships don’t last,” we hear Charlie say in voice-over. “Guess I’m an optimist then.”

The trailer — soundtracked to Olivia Rodrigo’s “stupid song” — includes scenes of their friend group making memories together at prom and a Pride parade, Nick struggling with his identity outside of his relationship with Charlie, and Charlie thinking about the future for the first time.

“We look after each other, don’t we?” Charlie asks Nick as they sit on a beach. “Always,” Nick replies.

Returning cast members include Will Gao, Yasmin Finney, Tobie Donovan, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell and Jenny Walser.

The film debuts on Netflix July 17, 10 days after the release of series creator Alice Oseman’s final volume of the Heartstopper graphic novel, which comes out on July 7.

Fresh off his FIFA World Cup performance with Tyla, Future has announced that a new album is on the way. Taking to his Instagram Story on Monday, he posted a graphic featuring the words “Future The Real Me” in black against a red background. The image, now his profile picture on the platform, has also appeared on Spotify billboards.

Future then confirmed The Real Me is indeed the title of his upcoming album, writing on X, “Album title: THE REAL ME.”

The project will mark Future’s first full-length release since teaming with Metro Boomin in 2024 for We Don’t Trust You and its sequel, We Still Don’t Trust You.

Although he hasn’t released a solo project since then, Future has been active musically. He appears on Drake’s “Ran to Atlanta” from Iceman and is featured with Tyla on the FIFA World Cup 2026 anthem, “Game Time.” The two debuted the song live at SoFi Stadium during the United States’ opening ceremony for the World Cup.

If you want it all, all being a Faith No More reunion, then it appears you might actually be able to have it.

The long-dormant “Epic” rockers, who haven’t performed live since 2016, have fans speculating about a possible comeback after a posting an image to Instagram featuring the year 2027 and the FNM logo superimposed over a photo of a crowd.

Faith No More had been set to return to the live stage in 2021 for a run of shows that were later canceled due to frontman Mike Patton dealing with mental health issues. In a 2022 Rolling Stone interview, Patton shared that he’d been diagnosed with the anxiety disorder agoraphobia.

While Patton returned to the road with his project Mr. Bungle, Faith No More stayed inactive. In the Rolling Stone piece, Patton said the tour cancellation led to “broken feelings on both sides,” and keyboardist Roddy Bottum said in 2024 that the band was on “semi permanent hiatus.”

In separate 2025 interviews, drummer Mike Bordin said he felt Patton demonstrated that he was “unwilling to do shows with us,” while Bottum said he doesn’t “think anyone’s sort of up for [a reunion] at this point.”

We’ll see if this new teaser means that the Faith No More members have changed their minds. In the meantime, Patton has been playing select Faith No More songs on tour with AVTT/PTTN, his collaboration with the folk band The Avett Brothers.

Lenny Kaye, the longest-serving member of the Patti Smith Group, is getting ready to release his debut solo album, Goin’ Local, and he’s offering fans another preview of the record.

The rocker has dropped the track “The Things You Leave Behind,” described in a press release as “a meditation on collecting, memory and legacy.”

“I see ‘The Things You Leave Behind’ as something that resonates with anyone who collects cultural objects and memorabilia,” says Kaye. “It reflects that instinct to gather things and the question of what to do with them over time.”

This is the third track Kaye has released from Goin’ Local, following the title track and “Solstice,” which he co-wrote with Patti Smith.

Goin’ Local will be released July 17 and is available for preorder now.

Next up, Kaye will sit down for a conversation with The Sopranos star Michael Imperioli for a special Grammy Museum evening in New York City on June 23. Tickets and info can be found at GrammyMuseum.org.

(WASHINGTON) — The Department of Education is expected to announce a major step in the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle the agency — moving special education services and civil rights responsibilities to the departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Justice (DOJ), respectively, according to sources familiar.

The sources told ABC News the HHS is expected to receive the Offices of Special Education Programming (OSEP) and Rehabilitative Services Administration (RSA). The Justice Department will be responsible for the agency’s civil rights oversight. Transferring the offices will impact millions of students and families, including 7 million people who receive around $15 billion in grants through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the law creating free and appropriate education for children with disabilities.

President Donald Trump campaigned in 2024 on closing the agency.

Tropical storm watch issued for parts of Gulf Coast

(NEW YORK) — Gulf Coast states already dealing with massive floods are bracing for even more extreme weather as the first tropical storm of the season could form as early as Tuesday night.

Tropical Storm watch issued for 2 states

The National Hurricane Center issued a tropical storm watch on Tuesday for the Gulf Coast from southeast Texas –including the cities of Brazosport, Galveston and Port Arthur– to parts of southwestern Louisiana. 

Potential Tropical Cyclone One, the name of the low-pressure system developing, is forecast to become a tropical storm later Tuesday or early Wednesday along the Gulf Coast.

If it becomes a tropical storm, it will be named Arthur, the first named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season

A hurricane is not expected to form, according to the latest forecast.

Very heavy rain is forecast for New Orleans as early as Wednesday evening or as late as Thursday morning, depending on how quickly the storm develops. New Orleans is under a flood watch. 

Winds will gust over 40 mph at times along the coast and coastal flooding may also become an issue, according to the forecast.

Deadly flash flood threat continues in the South

A woman in Bandera County, northwest of San Antonio, Texas, called 911 on Monday morning, saying her car was being swept away into a creek by floodwaters, the county’s sheriff’s office said on social media.

Within moments, the call dropped, the office said, and hours later the woman was found dead in the vehicle “several miles downstream” of its initial entry point, the sheriff’s office said. The woman was not immediately identified.

In San Antonio, Houston and Waco there were stalled vehicles due to high waters on roads. In Shreveport, Louisiana, there were water rescues and water entering buildings.

In St. Martin, Mississippi, ramps to I-10 and I-110 were closed due to high waters. South of there, at Kessler Air Force Base, several roads became impassible.

More than 17 million Americans remain on Tuesday under a flood watch from Texas to Mississippi. 

Heavy rainfall may lead to localized significant flash flooding from Corpus Christi to Houston to Lafayette and Alexandria, Louisiana, and McComb, Mississippi. A level 3 of 4 threat for flash flooding is in place there. 

The greatest risk is likely along a frontal boundary laid over central Louisiana and into southeast Mississippi — rainfall may be heavy for a few hours in this area on Tuesday and could lead to significant flooding. 

Rains closer to the coast are going to be more difficult to sustain but there is certainly enough ingredients there that if they get going, localized instances of significant flash flooding are possible. 

Tomorrow, the level 3 of 4 flood threat is for Houston, Beaumont, Lake Charles, and Lafayette.

On Thursday, the level 3 of 4 flood threat moves to Baton Rouge through Jackson, MS, Montgomery, AL and Birmingham, AL. 

This heavier rain for Wednesday and Thursday will come from a developing tropical low over the western Gulf. 

The National Hurricane Center gives it a 60% chance of forming into a tropical storm later on Tuesday or on Wednesday. If it becomes a tropical storm, it will be named Arthur, the first of the season. 

Severe weather outbreak in the Midwest on Wednesday

About 40 million Americans are in the storm zone where a severe weather outbreak is expected on Wednesday

The greatest likelihood for a destructive outbreak is in Illinois and Indiana, and possible for parts of Missouri, Iowa and Ohio, too. 

A level 4 of 5 moderate risk for destructive storms is in place for central Illinois and northern Indiana on Wednesday. This includes Springfield, Peoria, Decatur, Champaign and Bloomington, Illinois, along with Rensselaer, Indiana.

Large and long-lived tornadoes are possible, along with destructive wind gusts up to 80 mph, and hail up to the size of baseballs.

The level 3 of 4 risk includes Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Fort Wayne.

Jelly Roll files for divorce from Bunnie Xo after nearly 10 years of marriage

Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo are calling it quits.

The singer-songwriter, born Jason Bradley DeFord, filed for divorce from the podcast host, born Alisa Andrea DeFord, on May 18 after nearly 10 years of marriage, according to court documents filed in Williamson County, Tennessee, last month.

The court documents were filed May 18 and cite “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.

The pair initially tied the knot in August 2016 in Las Vegas. They returned to Las Vegas in 2023 to renew their vows.

The “Need a Favor” singer and his wife have spoken publicly about their marriage over the years, sharing details about their relationship on social media, including its ups and downs.

In March, Bunnie Xo sat down with Nightline anchor Juju Chang to discuss her memoir, Stripped Down, and opened up about the pair’s first few years as a married couple, including her decision to continue working as a sex worker during that time.

“I fell in love with my husband because he treated me like no other man had,” she said at the time. “He never used my job against me. He never shamed me for it. He just loved me.”

She also said the pair were able to overcome infidelity early on in their relationship, which Jelly Roll has acknowledged publicly and expressed regret about.

“Everybody thinks I just got back together with him and forgave him,” she said. “No. We had to really do the work. We are going to wake up and choose each other. Even on days I don’t like you, I’m still gonna choose you.”

The two also previously opened up about their experience with in vitro fertilization.

In June 2024, Bunnie Xo wrote on Instagram that the couple had met with “IVF doctors” and were “exploring all our options to add to our family.”

“We had planned on doing this privately, but decided our ivf journey needed to be shared because we’ve always been so open,” she said at the time, sharing a clip of her husband discussing parenthood in a podcast interview.

The estranged couple have no children together. Jelly Roll is the father of two children from separate relationships, a daughter named Bailee Ann and a son named Noah Buddy.

ABC News has reached out to representatives for Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo for comment.

The Wu-Tang Clan and New York Knicks shared the spotlight once again, this time on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

While the entire group wasn’t on hand for the Tonight Show performance, members RZA, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, Raekwon, Cappadonna and Young Dirty Bastard — the son of the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard — performed a medley of “Bring Da Ruckus” and “C.R.E.A.M.” from their 1993 debut album, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Throughout the set they gave shoutouts to New York and rocked their Knicks gear.

This performance was part of the episode in which the newly crowned NBA champs crashed Fallon’s monologue. Loyal Knicks fan Spike Lee introduced the team to the audience, and the players came out as The Roots played “We Are the Champions” and Knicks-colored confetti rained down. Finals MVP Jalen Brunson made sure to bring out the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

The appearance was part of the celebration surrounding the Knicks’ victory over the San Antonio Spurs, which marked their first championship win in 53 years — a feat Method Man predicted during Wu-Tang’s halftime performance at Game 4. They brought the trophy home the following game.

The Knicks are scheduled to celebrate with a parade in New York City Thursday. 

Meanwhile, Wu-Tang Clan will resume their Final Chamber tour in August, before being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in November.
