BTS is making headlines by boycotting the 2027 Grammys over a new Asian pop category, sparking debate about representation and categorization in music. Meanwhile, Disney is reportedly reviving 'Home Alone' with Macaulay Culkin, and Michael B. Jordan's 'Thomas Crown Affair' trailer drops with style.
BTS's boycott of the Grammys over a new category has drawn a response from the Recording Academy, highlighting tensions around how genre and region are used to classify music.
BTS announced a boycott of the 2027 Grammys over the new Best Asian Pop Music category, saying they want music appreciated without regional or linguistic labels. It's a bold move that's already reigniting debates about representation and ghettoization.
Grammy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. responded, saying he's 'saddened' by BTS's withdrawal but defending the category as a way to celebrate Asian pop, not divide it. The exchange frames a larger tension between inclusion and tokenism.
Two major franchise revivals are in the works: Disney is reportedly bringing back 'Home Alone' with its original star, and Michael B. Jordan's remake of 'The Thomas Crown Affair' gets its first look.
Disney is reportedly in serious talks for a 'Home Alone' reboot with Macaulay Culkin potentially returning as Kevin. The pitch is strong enough that Disney might let Culkin attach a passion project of his own. Two outlets are covering this, signaling real momentum.
The first trailer for Michael B. Jordan's 'Thomas Crown Affair' remake leans into visual flair and luxury heist vibes. Jordan stars and directs, following in the footsteps of Steve McQueen and Pierce Brosnan.
A few other notable stories: Ben Affleck wins big on 'Millionaire,' Tom Holland hated an early cut of the new 'Spider-Man,' and Chinese short dramas are going all-in on AI.
Ben Affleck and a 'Jeopardy!' champ won $1 million for charity on 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,' exactly a year after his 'Good Will Hunting' co-star Matt Damon did the same. A fun celebrity charity moment with a nice symmetry.
Tom Holland revealed he 'hated' an early cut of 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' that incorporated test audience feedback, saying it 'totally didn't work.' A candid behind-the-scenes glimpse ahead of the film's release.
Chinese short dramas are increasingly produced entirely by AI, no actors, no camera operators. Shows like 'Carrying the Dragon King's Baby' have an uncanny visual texture, and the trend is scaling rapidly.
