It’s like you get to a certain age as a gay man and you start getting called certain things, besides Trashbag, that make you realise you’ve hit that age, that dreaded age where people start calling you things.Things like Daddy. Did you know the term Daddy originally dates back to the 1600s? It’s what prostitutes used to call their pimps, so there is that.

Ms. Juicy Baby is back home.

The audience at the “Star Wars” Celebration on Saturday got a little surprise before leaving “The Mandalorian” panel. Just as things were wrapping up, Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) showed up and gave the first look at her new standalone show, “Ahsoka,” coming to Disney+ sometime in 2023.

Tom Hanks led the stars at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival in France. The Oscar-winning actor takes on the role of the Kings manager, Colonel Tom Parker, in "Elvis." During the film festival, Hanks posed for pictures alongside Elvis Presley's ex-wife Priscilla Presley. The 65-year-old actor was joined by Disney star Austin Butler, who takes on the Elvis role in the unreleased film.

Though shot and set prior to the Russian invasion, by dint of being a Ukrainian picture detailing the aftermath of a woman soldier’s assault in the Donbas, “Butterfly Vision” lays claim to uniquely wretched timeliness at this year’s Cannes. What is an impressive if formally flawed first film from Maksym Nakonechnyi earns some emotional weight vis-a-vis present events: the Ukrainian flags of blue and white, flown with unsparing pride across Nakonechnyi’s images, bear the immediate frisson of beleaguered resistance, and that women Stateside presently face unprecedented threats to their bodily autonomy only compounds the miserable resonance.

Megan Thee Stallion is getting in a workout!

Kendrick Lamar‘s music video for ‘The Heart Part 5’ has launched a partnership with South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.Although Lamar directed and executive produced the video himself, it features a deepfake blending his face into those of OJ Simpson, Jussie Smollett, Nipsey Hussle, Kobe Bryant and Kanye West.The deep fake was brought to life by Deep Voodoo, Parker and Stone’s studio specialising in the technology, according to Variety.Take a look at the video for ‘The Heart Part 5’ here:It marks the first collaboration between Lamar and Deep Voodoo, which made its first major steps with Sassy Justice in 2020, with the publication suggesting more projects to follow.In a five-star review of ‘The Heart Part 5’, NME wrote: “Lamar’s comeback takes a political stance, which is similar to his second album ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ — hence the reference Obama, who was in the White House when it was released.“Like the 44th president, Kendrick is an emotive speaker and ‘The Heart Part 5’ finds him trying to get his crime-riddled neighbourhood to change.” Meanwhile in South Park news, the show announced a 25th anniversary live concert featuring performances from Primus and Ween.The special “one night only” event will take place at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado on August 10.The show is set to “celebrate 25 years of the music of South Park” with Parker and Stone also due to be in attendance on the night.“We’re so excited to go home and play at Red Rocks, a place that’s been known for hosting the most legendary artists and musicians.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorIt took a village to create Kendrick Lamar’s mind-melting new video for his song “The Heart Part 5,” which on the surface is just him performing in front of a red backdrop until you realize that his face deepfakes into those of OJ Simpson, Jussie Smollett, Nipsey Hussle, Kobe Bryant and Kanye West (who, ironically, himself dropped a video the same day using deepfake technology).While the video was directed and executive produced by Lamar and longtime collaborator Dave Free and features a host of creative collaborators (listed below), the deep fake is credited to Deep Voodoo, a studio launched by “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone to specialize in the technology — and the “The Heart Part 5” video appears to be the first fruit of a partnership between Lamar’s PGLang company and the “South Park” founders’ Park County banner to produce a new feature film for Paramount Pictures. (While Lamar, Parker, Stone and reps for PG Lang and Deep Voodoo all declined Variety’s requests for an interview about.) The Deep Voodoo studio — the name of which almost certainly was chosen in part for its phonic similarity to the term “deep doodoo” — made its first major splash late in 2020 with “Sassy Justice,” a spoof of a television investigative report on deep fakes done in collaboration with actor Peter Serafinowicz.

Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers finally arrives this Friday, and he kickstarted his rollout on Sunday with a new song and video for “The Heart Part 5," a new entry in the series of songs he began back in 2010.
