Dean, who is part of a growing class of young U.K.-born vocalists, made waves last year with her romantic sophomore album “The Art of Loving,” with tracks including “Man I Need,” “A Couple Minutes” and “So Easy (To Fall In Love).” “I want to say I’m up here as a granddaughter of an immigrant,” Dean said in her acceptance speech. “I’m a product of bravery, and I think those people deserve to be celebrated.” Celebrities in the audience were wearing pins protesting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the celebration. In being crowned best new artist, Dean bested Katseye, The Marías, Addison Rae, sombr, Leon Thomas, Alex Warren and Lola Young for the award. Learn more about your ad choices.

Earlier this month, new polling from the Economist and YouPoll confirmed support for ICE is rapidly eroding, with 46 percent of U.S. citizens supporting the abolishing of ICE. Now, celebrities are using their platforms to speak up and condemn the organization’s deadly tactics in Minnesota and across the U.S. Celebrities like Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Pedro Pascal, and more have all shared passionate speeches on red carpets, posted emotional videos on Instagram, and urged people to keep using their voices.

Brown recently alluded to drama with his “Queer Eye” costars when he skipped several television appearances promoting the show’s 10th and final season, which premiered on Netflix Wednesday, Jan. 21. He sent a video message to “Today” explaining why he was absent from a Tuesday, Jan. 20, interview with Porowski, Van Ness, France and Brent. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jasmine Crockett, Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers have broken their silence. On Saturday, the Las Culturistas podcast hosts walked back their criticism of the Texas Democrat after this week’s ‘I Don’t Think So, Honey’ segment, in which they also took aim at Gavin Newsom‘s potential presidential bid. “Hey everybody. I hear the response and I am taking every bit of it to heart, I promise,” wrote Rogers on his Instagram Story. “Transparency and candor matter to me, especially on the podcast. I’m a very progressive person who cares deeply about winning these elections, but my phrasing was not right. I will be more thoughtful! I really do promise. Learn more about your ad choices.

But a growing fan theory circulating on social media, dubbed “Conformity Gate,” suggests the ending viewers saw wasn’t the real one. In fact, some believe another episode is coming later this week. In Episode 8, the Hawkins crew devises a final plan to enter the Upside Down, rescue the kidnapped children and defeat Vecna once and for all. Despite major obstacles — including the military discovering and interfering with their mission and Kali’s death — they locate Vecna’s lair deep in the Abyss, inside the Pain Tree, which is revealed to be the Mind Flayer itself. With Eleven entering the Mind Flayer’s body to confront Vecna from within, the rest of the group attacks the monster from the outside. Will taps into the hive mind one last time to save Eleven and help her push Vecna’s body into a massive spike. Joyce delivers the killing blow, chopping off his head with an axe after he “f—ed with the wrong family.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After fueling internet rumors that he had secretly taken up the rap alter-ego EsDeeKid, the Marty Supreme actor put the speculation to rest by making a surprise cameo alongside the musician in a remix video for the song “4 Raws,” where he added his own verse—complete with a lyrical reference to his girlfriend’s staggering net worth. “It’s Timothée Chalamet chillin’, tryin’ to stack $100 million,” he rapped on the track released Dec. 19, adding, “[My] girl got $1 billion.” Despite the musical hat tip, Timothée, 29, has avoided sharing details about his romance with Kylie, 28, notably declining to discuss the relationship during a recent interview.

Last episode, on Nov. 18, was Prince Night and the semifinals. Each couple performed two dances to some of the music icon's most legendary hits. The first dance was in a style they had not yet tackled this season, and the other was a repeat style that allowed them to show the judges and audience how far they've come. At the end of the night, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Whitney Leavitt and pro Mark Ballas were sent home in a shocking elimination. Leavitt had been receiving high scores throughout the season, but unfortunately did not get the necessary votes needed from the audience to make it to the finale. Learn more about your ad choices.

Broadway's The Queen of Versailles will play its final performance January 4, 2026 at the St. James Theatre. The show is the first to announce closing on the first Sunday after the Christmas-New Year's holidays, historically "Black Sunday" on the Main Stem. The closing notice is an abrupt end for the latest Broadway outing from Wicked luminaries Stephen Schwartz (who wrote the new musical's songs) and Kristin Chenoweth (who's starring and co-producing). The musical began first previews on October 8 and opened November 9; read the reviews here. Despite a mixed critical reception, the show had been performing well at the box office, making over $1 million a week post opening—making today's closing notice a surprise.

Created by Ryan Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken, All’s Fair premieres on streaming on Hulu on Tuesday with the series’ first three episodes. The official summary for All’s Fair reads, “A team of female divorce attorneys leaves a male-dominated firm to open their own powerhouse practice. Fierce, brilliant and emotionally complicated, they navigate high-stakes breakups, scandalous secrets and shifting allegiances — both in the courtroom and within their own ranks. “In a world where money talks and love is a battleground, these women don’t just play the game — they change it."

The stunt was straight out of the Leto playbook — involving bombast, tall buildings and shoulder-length hair jostled by the elements — but didn’t succeed at its primary mission: driving audiences to theaters.
