Charli XCX is ready for people to fall in love again and again with the music of Wuthering Heights.

The singer teased that “House,” the first track from her album for Emerald Fennell’s upcoming adaptation of the Emily Brontë classic, will be released on Monday, Nov. 10. The song features John Cale of The Velvet Underground.

In a lengthy Instagram Story message, Charli explains how she got involved in the project and how a quote from Cale — "elegant and brutal" — inspired the album’s sound.

She writes that the phrase stuck with her, and she reached out to Cale to get his opinions on the songs and see if he wanted to collaborate.

“I sent him some songs and we started talking specifically about House,” she writes. “We spoke about the idea of a poem. He recorded something and sent it to me. Something that only John could do. And it was… well it made me cry.”

She continues, “I feel so lucky to have been able to work with John on this song. I’ve been so excited to share it with you all, sitting quietly in anticipation. And on Monday, it’s yours.”

Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, hits theaters Feb. 13, 2026.

Ariana Grande has the Wicked sequel coming out in a few weeks, plus a 2026 tour, and roles in both the Meet the Parents sequel Focker In-Law and the new season of American Horror Story. But it turns out she's also plotting a project that's not a movie, TV show or concert.

Speaking to The New York Times, Ari said she's got something the Times describes as "stage-related" that's "coming up soon." As she puts it, "It’s not on Broadway, but it’s something that I’m very excited about and inspired by.”

Ariana appeared on Broadway as a teenager in 2008, when she starred in the musical 13.

However, Ari wants to assure her fans that her original day job — singing — isn't going away. "Of course, music will be in my life forever,” she said. “I have to say that for my fans who are reading this who are going to have a heart attack.”

Ariana also said that making the Wicked films is what reignited her interest in pop music.

"There was something broken about my relationship to [it] that was healed recently through the time away,” she said. "Nothing prepares you for what comes with [pop music stardom]. Until quite recently, it was really hard for me to navigate and I think it stripped a lot of joy out of this for me.”

Now, she said, “I’ve never felt this connected to my art or inspired, and that’s just been such a tremendous gift. It’s like, 'Oh, I don’t actually have to take on those things that were projected onto me. I can focus on my art and that can be a separate entity.'"

He did it at a talent show -- and won. "That is so f****** awesome!" says Richard in the clip. By the way, Richard wrote and produced *NSYNC's hit "This I Promise You."

During Sabrina Carpenter's Tuesday night show in Nashville, the person she "arrested" for being too hot was Nicole Kidman.

Earlier this year, Benson Boone brought out Brian May, guitarist for British rock legends Queen, to join him during his Coachella set for "Beautiful Things" and a rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody." And now that Benson's touring in London, where May is based, he was able to collaborate with the guitarist on something else.

Benson posted an Instagram video on Wednesday showing him and May doing in the "What's Up"/"Beez in the Trap" trend. Benson started by lip-synching a verse of the '90s hit "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes. The camera then revolves to show May standing back-to-back with Benson, lip-synching to Nicki Minaj's 2012 hit "Beez in the Trap."

The mash-up of the two songs was created by a TikTok user known as DJ Auxlord last summer and has since gone viral.

Imagine a 78-year-old British guy with a huge head of frizzy gray hair lip-synching, "B***** ain't s*** and they ain't saying nothing/ a hundred motha******* can't tell me nothing/ I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap" and you'll understand why this is pretty hilarious.

"My dear @brianmayforreal you are an icon," Benson captioned the video.

May once again joined Benson for "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Beautiful Things" during Benson's Tuesday concert in London.

It looks like Katy Perry needed more than just a Band-Aid after she was done shooting her latest video.

In a preview of the clip for her new song, "Bandaids," Katy experiences disaster after disaster. She gets her hand caught in a garbage disposal. She sits on a tree branch and plunges to the ground after sawing off the wrong end of it. She face-plants at the top of an escalator and sits outside of a cafe as its windows explode, throwing glass everywhere.

She gets electrocuted while walking past some gas tanks, then gets hit by a log that falls off a truck in front of her car. Finally, she's seen lighting a cigarette, and half the block blows up in a fiery explosion.

Fans were complimentary about the sneak peek, comparing it to the Final Destination movies. The video debuts Thursday at 7 p.m. ET. It marks Katy's first new music since the release of her album 143. The song itself also comes out Thursday.

Gwen Stefani is releasing an updated Amazon Exclusive deluxe edition of her holiday album You Make It Feel Like Christmas. Two new songs will be included, one of which is featured in a new Prime Video holiday movie that debuts on Dec. 3.

"Shake the Snow Globe" is an upbeat original song that's part of the soundtrack to Oh. What. Fun., a movie that's an updated take on Home Alone. Michelle Pfeiffer plays Claire Clauster, a woman who's famous for prepping and planning the perfect holiday for her family every year. But when she's left behind during a family outing, she gets to experience "the unexpected magic of a Christmas gone off-script," according to the official description.

Gwen says in a statement, “This is the first time I’ve ever been asked to write a song for a specific moment in a film. It made me nervous, excited, and inspired to take on the challenge of creating a Christmas song that feels up tempo, nostalgic and reflects the sentiment of the movie."

The video for the song can now be seen on Amazon Music, but Gwen's posted a decent chunk of the candy-colored clip on Instagram, as well. "the Holidays are so magical and i wanted this video to capture the sparkle + joy of the szn," she writes. "my new song Shake the Snow Globe & music video is out now!! watch + listen on @amazonmusic."

The album, featuring another new song called "Hot Cocoa," is due out Nov. 14. You can also buy an actual snow globe with the deluxe-edition album art inside. It'll set you back $60.

Jelly Roll's in the home stretch of his first tour Down Under, and he seems to be having a blast, save for an incident at one store in Australia. 

“Hey man, the Louis Vuitton in Sydney legitimately just treated us like we were finna come in and rob that place,” he said in an Instagram Story on Wednesday. 

But he seemed to be taking it in stride, laughing as he walked away with the store visible in the background.

“I have never been looked at more like a crim— listen, the last time I was looked at like a criminal this bad, I was an actual criminal this bad," he continued.

Jelly Roll's only recently been able to tour internationally, thanks to a string of charges dating back to when he was 14. 

On Thursday he plays his last Australian date at Country Bank Stadium in Townsville, before his Saturday stop in Auckland, New Zealand.
