And we are back with another wrap-up in entertainment news, condensed and combed through, so you don’t get a headache.
Billie Eilish is in the headlines again for all the wrong reasons. The 19-year-old singer has recently released her newest and great single, “Lost Cause,” and with it came many Instagram posts, one with the caption “I love girls.” This caption set off a herd of angry fans claiming that the artist is queer baiting, especially since Ellish has repeatedly said in interviews that she is strictly straight. On top of that, the star is rumored to be dating a 29-year-old man and fans are finding the age gaps concerning.
In the week of useless fights, the YouTube vs. Tik Tok fight was uneventful, but the internet has a way of making it the funniest thing all week. Youtuber Austin McBroom and Tik Tok star Bryce Hall entered the ring earlier last week. Hall, humiliating loss after boasting an easy win for weeks. McBroom came out on top with a knockout.
“In the Heights,” the broadway turned musical movie, didn’t do as well as expected in theaters this week. According to The Wrap, the film only made “$11.4 million and lost what was expected to be an easy No. 1 launch to the third weekend of Paramount’s “A Quiet Place — Part II.” Nonetheless, the movie is a good one to watch if you have two and a half hours to spare.
The movie “Luca” is officially out and is streaming on Disney+. I hope this movie is as good as the trailer makes it seem. It always seems to be hit or miss with animations recently.
In need of a new book to distract from the hot weather? “For the Wolf,” Hannah Whitten’s debut novel, is making small waves in the dark fantasy world. Upon my reading, it’s Red Riding Hood meets politics set in the coldest of winters. So far, it’s good; go pick it up!
In the world of makeup, it saddens me to tell you that Becca Cosmetics is going out of business this September. The makeup brand is known for its hit seller, Champagne Pop. The company made the announcement quietly at the beginning of this year. But us makeup lovers will always be grateful for the impact they had on the highlighter industry.
