Ariana Grande at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards at Barker Hanger on February 7^ 2025 in Santa Monica^ CA

Ariana Grande is sharing the music video for her song “Twilight Zone,” along with an a cappella version of the track.

The music video begins with the elderly-version of Grande from her ‘Brighter Days Ahead’ short film watching a video of her younger self wake up. The cinematic visual appears to be a prequel to Ariana’s “Supernatural” video, which shows her leaving the home and walking through a ravaged residential area before being beamed up into an alien spacecraft.

Grande released the deluxe version of her Eternal Sunshine album on March 28.

Jonas Brothers have dropped the new single, “No Time to Talk,” which interpolates the classic 1978 hit song from the Bee Gees, “Stayin’ Alive” (which also originally appeared on the soundtrack to the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever.)

The Brothers wrote on Instagram, “Growing up on the music that our Dad played for us led to a lifelong influence from the legends that came before us. That influence was undeniably felt while writing what is now ‘No Time To Talk’ and putting it out into the world today with The Bee Gees’ blessing feels unreal. We hope you have as much fun with this one as we had making it !! Time to danceeee.”

“No Time to Talk” is included on the Brothers’ new album, Greetings From Your Hometown, due Aug. 8. The brothers will launch their new tour JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown just two days later in their home state of New Jersey.

Take a listen to No Time To Talk: HERE.

Pres. Trump announces 90-day pause on higher tariffs to Mexico before deadline

Container vessel approaching the berth Manzanillo^ Mexico - November 1 2015

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he will pause higher tariffs on Mexico, America’s largest trading partner, that were set to go into effect Friday.

Trump agreed to give Mexico a 90-day reprieve from higher tariffs to negotiate a broader trade deal but was expected to issue higher final duty rates for most other countries The extension, which avoids a 30% tariff on most Mexican non-automotive and non-metal goods compliant with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement on trade, came after a Thursday morning call between Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who wrote on X: “We avoided the tariff increase announced for tomorrow and we got 90 days to build a long-term agreement through dialogue.”

Trump said in a Truth Social post: “I have just concluded a telephone conversation with the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, which was very successful in that, more and more, we are getting to know and understand each other. The complexities of a Deal with Mexico are somewhat different than other Nations because of both the problems, and assets, of the Border. We have agreed to extend, for a 90 Day period, the exact same Deal as we had for the last short period of time… We will be talking to Mexico over the next 90 Days with the goal of signing a Trade Deal somewhere within the 90 Day period of time, or longer.”

According to Mexico’s economy ministry approximately 85% of Mexican exports comply with the rules of origin outlined in the USMCA, shielding them from 25% tariffs related to fentanyl. Trump said that the U.S. would continue to levy a 50% tariff on Mexican steel, aluminum and copper and a 25% tariff on Mexican autos and on non-USMCA-compliant goods subject to tariffs related to the U.S. fentanyl crisis.

25 hospitalized after Delta flight is diverted to Minneapolis-St. Paul due to ‘significant’ turbulence

Delta Air Lines Airbus A330 - 900neo N408DX arrives at Atlanta Hartsfield - Jackson International Airport Atlanta^ GA^ USA - December 8^ 2024

Delta Airlines announced that twenty-five people aboard a Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam were hospitalized, after the flight was diverted to Minneapolis-St. Paul after encountering “significant” turbulence.

Delta flight DL56 was carrying 275 passengers and 13 crew members from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam when it was forced to divert to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport after the flight “encountered significant turbulence while en route,” the airline said in a statement. Flight 56 was diverted to Minneapolis at 6:43 p.m. and landed safely around 7:45 p.m., according to Flight Aware.

One passenger, who requested to remain anonymous, told FOX 13 Salt Lake City that the turbulence sent flight attendants flying when they were in the aisle with beverage carts: “Every one of them flew and hit the ceiling, the beverage carts also flew into the air. Any items that were loose in the cabin got thrown everywhere. [The] plane is a mess, covered in liquids and service items.”

The Metropolitan Airports Commission said that the Minneapolis-St. Paul Fire Department and paramedics responded to the gate to provide initial medical attention. Delta Airline said 25 of those on board were taken to the hospital “for evaluation and care,” and as of Thursday all have since been released.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a statement that a full-scale review was underway to evaluate whether the weather could have been spotted in advance: “Anyone who flies knows that we delay flights, cancel flights when weather happens. That didn’t happen here, and so we are doing a full-scale review right now to see what went wrong because again, this kind of turbulence is incredibly dangerous, and we don’t want the flying public to go through it. What we find out, we are going to remedy. We are going to get to the bottom of it.”

The Toronto Blue Jays have acquired Cy Young Award winning pitcher Shane Bieber from the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for righty pitching prospect Khal Stephen, the teams announced on Thursday.

The Blue Jays posted on X: “OFFICIAL: We’ve acquired 2x All-Star, All-Star MVP, Cy Young Award Winner, Triple Crown Winner and Gold Glover Shane Bieber from the Guardians in exchange for RHP Khal Stephen. Welcome to the Blue Jays, Biebs!”

Bieber, 30, hasn’t appeared in an MLB game since he underwent Tommy John surgery in April 2024.

The right-handed pitcher’s Cy Young Award campaign came during the COVID-19 pandemic shortened 2020 season. He went 8-1 with a 1.63 ERA and 122 strikeouts — leading MLB in all of those categories — over a dozen starts. Over 136 career appearances throughout his seven-year career with the Guardians (including 134 starts) he has a 62-32 record with a 3.22 ERA.

Bieber has made four rehab starts in July between the Rookie-League Arizona Complex, High-A Lake County and Double-A Akron and went 0-0 with a 1.59 ERA over four minor league appearances this year, throwing 57 pitches, and is on track to make his season debut sometime in August.

Sydney Sweeney at the Vanity Fair Party. Los Angeles^ CA. 02MAR2025

The trailer for Ron Howard’s new thriller Eden was released, which stars Jude Law and Sydney Sweeney as island settlers fighting to survive.

The trailer shows the diverse group of settlers fighting for survival amidst a grueling backdrop of a deserted island where the only threat to themselves are the other people they share the colony with. Law portrays Dr. Friedrich Ritter, who moves to the island with his wife Dora (Vanessa Kirby), , who left Berlin for Floreana Island in 1929. But when Baroness Eloise Bosquet (Ana de Armas) arrives, chaos follows.

Daniel Brühl also stars in the feature, co-written, co-produced and directed by Howard. According to a synopsis, the film will follow “the shocking true story of a group of disillusioned outsiders who abandon civilization, settling on a remote, uninhabited island only to discover that the greatest threat isn’t the brutal climate or deadly wildlife, but each other. As tensions spiral and desperation takes hold, a twisted power struggle unfolds, leading to betrayal, violence, and the deaths of half the colony.”

The film, inspired by a true story, premiered in 2024 at the Toronto International Film Festival and debuted in German movie theaters in April. The film will debut in U.S. theaters Aug. 22; see the trailer for Eden: HERE.
