Ah, ok. I agree with your hunch too. It's expected to make around only $1.5 million through the 4-day holiday weekend (on a $40 million production and marketing budget), which is devastating. I was hoping it would do well.

OMG! Have they already decided to start pulling it from theaters? 😥

I’m with you on that! 😊 It has grown on me and I feel these from-the-vault tracks will tide us over till she puts out her new album next year.

This is 💯 so true! 😂 — I’ve discovered (or rediscovered) some of my favorite songs in grocery stores and malls. Whoever makes or selects their playlists is a genius.

I’m at an age where if I really wanna hear good music, I’m going to the grocery store

Really glad that tomorrow is a work holiday, so the usual #SundayScaries will be delayed — if not avoided! 😅

Diane had a mix of talents and personality that were so unique! I think she and Meryl Streep are the only ones with this mix and no one else comes close. They are Hollywood ICONS! 😍

By the way, I’m curious about your thoughts on her “new” song Right On Time (from the Bedtime Stories Anniversary EP being released next month). 😁

I learned something new today! 🤗 — Diane Keaton directed the music videos of two of the most infectious and enduring pop hits from the 80s by Belinda Carlisle. — But of course she did! ❤️

Belinda Carlisle @belindacarlisle.bsky.social · 1d

I cant! 💔💔💔 Diane Keaton was such a talent and a BIG part of my career. She directed two videos of mine - "Heaven Is A Place on Earth" and the video for "I Get Weak."
She was kind and eccentric and I was blessed to know her. This is such a big loss. 💔💔💔 RIP Diane, you will be missed.

Through her illustrious & amazing body of work, she was our wise Mom or kooky Grandma (among many other roles). But without a doubt, a source of comfort, laughter and joy. Thank you, Diane Keaton. 🥺💕💔

Diane Keaton has passed away at the age of 79.

That’s wonderful to hear. I’m not one who bases my choice for shows on theater critics’ reviews, but I trust frequent theater goers like you much more. 🙏🏼 ☺️ I really hope Benjamin Button comes to the US/Broadway next year.

Ah ok! Thank you!!

Glad you enjoyed it! A friend has been trying to get me to watch it in December.

This "new" #Madonna track is really good! It definitely has that early 90s sound that I love (and miss). This will be on repeat for me this weekend, for sure. And looking forward to the release next month of the new EP of tracks from the Bedtime Stories era... #BedtimeStoriesTheUntoldChapter

I'm really enjoying this song and its early 90s vibe!

sraous @sraous.bsky.social · 2d

Well, #TheDevilWearsPrada2 cast is already STACKED with stars from Hollywood/Film, Broadway, Fashion and Television (the list on IMDb is loooong) so #LadyGaga makes sense — she's an icon in Music and arguably one in Fashion and Film too.
👠 May 1, 2026 can't come soon enough! 👠

Pop Crave @popcrave.com · 2d

Lady Gaga reportedly joins ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2,’ according to Variety.

One thing I’ve learned working in public health/healthcare is never Google your medical symptoms. Stop by your local pharmacy or give your doc office a call—the best options. I hope you find some answers and relief soon, Ryan! 🧡

To say I'm obsessed with the music of #KissOfTheSpiderWoman — especially the title track & this song, Where You Are — is an understatement. I adore the Old Hollywood film orchestral sounds they offer ..and.. J-Lo & Tonatiuh sound wonderful together or solo. Can't wait to watch the movie!

I failed again! My #MariahCarey playlist has topped out at 70 tracks. 😅 (with 3 from her new album) Oh well! It’s a testament to the strength of her musical legacy.

sraous @sraous.bsky.social · 24d

About a month after attempting to create a 50-tracks-max #Madonna playlist (and failing), I'm trying my hand at one with a similar limit for #MariahCarey — I'm at 67 tracks. 🤷‍♂️ With MC's new album arriving next Friday, it's not getting any easier. 😅 But I love a challenge!

I’d love to know too! 😝 These days, I opt for matinee shows cos my body and brain start to fade by 7pm haha

One of the best albums of the 1990s & among my Top 3 favorite #JanetJackson albums. ♥️

Up super early (3am) in a melancholic state, I turned to some soft French music. This has to be one of the most beautifully written French ballads of the 90s — Celine Dion and Garou sound heavenly together. 🩵

After listening to the album from beginning to end multiple times over the past 10 days, I'm finally comfortable ranking the 11 tracks on #HereForItAll. It is a solid #MariahCarey record with great (and fun) songwriting + strong melodies and production. It'll be among my Top 10 favorite MC albums!

My ranking of the tracks on Mariah Carey's Here for It All. 1. In Your Feelings 2. Sugar Sweet 3. Nothing Is Impossible 4. Type Dangerous 5. Here For It All. 6. Play This Song 7. My Love 8. Jesus, I Do 9. Mi 10. Confetti & Champagne 11. I Won't Allow It

This movie = ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Really well done! 👍🏽
(It’s a good thing I went into it with zero idea of what it is about— cos with all that’s going on now, I’d have skipped it!)
