Dove Cameron's New Single Is an Ode to Just Feeling "So Good," and We're Hooked

If there's anyone who knows how to pull off looking like a fantastical being, it's Dove Cameron. The 23-year-old just dropped her third single "So Good," and it comes along with some stunning visuals. The track art features Cameron resembling the most ethereal wood nymph we've ever seen, elegantly posed with flowers adorning her face. "Pop the champagne / I'm feeling elevated, feeling motivated / Oh, there's something happening in my brain," she sings along to the song's hypnotic beat. "Maybe I just woke up on the right side of my empty bed / Maybe it's nothing / Increase the dopamine that keeps on stoking me / But I like what it's done to my head." Cameron, who co-wrote the single with singer-songwriter Julia Michaels , has been teasing the drop on her social media for days, releasing the first sneak peek on Oct. 24 . She eventually dropped the song at 12 a.m. on Nov. 1, and it's a glorious way to ring in a new mont

The 1 Superstition That Continues to Make Its Way Into Every Conjuring Universe Movie

As it currently stands, there are quite a few movies in the Conjuring universe , with a bunch more on the way. That's a lot of creepy sets, a lot of crucifixes, and a lot of fiddling with spiritual forces we as humans can barely grasp. As it turns out, though, there's a special superstition in place that at least seems to keep the demons and ghouls at bay. This past December, I was lucky enough to visit the Los Angeles set of Annabelle Comes Home , where I learned a pretty interesting fact about these movies: they always have the set blessed by an actual priest to ward off evil spirits. During my visit, I was shepherded through the day by the production's charming unit publicist, James Ferrera. He's the one who told me about the fun fact. As it turns out, they didn't think to bless the set of the first film in the series, The Conjuring . But ever since, it's become tradition. "We've done a set blessing on all of the films beginning with The Conjurin

The Real Annabelle Is Actually a Raggedy Ann Doll - and It's Terrifying

Image Source: Flickr user volvob12b June of 2019 marked the release of Annabelle Comes Home , which is a spinoff of the first Annabelle movie and, technically, yet another entry into The Conjuring universe that revolves around famed paranormal researchers Ed and Lorraine Warren. In its Hollywood context, the Annabelle doll first appears in 2013's The Conjuring (but, sadly, not in The Conjuring 2 ) as a pretty gnarly little object with some quite impressive drag queen eyebrows. What you might not know is that the doll has been totally creeped up for the big screen, and, in actuality, is just a vintage Raggedy Ann doll . Believe what you will, but the real-life Ed and Lorraine Warren have a full account of Annabelle on their official website, and it's one hell of a haunting tale. 1. The Beginning According to the Warrens, the story of the Annabelle doll began in 1970 when a woman purchased an antique Raggedy Ann doll from a hobby store. The doll was a gift for her daught

You'll Definitely Want to Keep an Eye on These 14 Up-and-Coming Music Artists

It seems like some of the most popular young artists in music such as Billie Eilish , Khalid , and H.E.R. gained stardom overnight and have taken over the charts .

12 Times Jimmy Fallon, Notorious Giggler, Lost It on Saturday Night Live

If you've tuned in to The Tonight Show , you know that Jimmy Fallon is prone to giggle fits, whether he's watching Taylor Swift cry over a banana or doing a ridiculous commercial with Jessica Biel . But his easy laughter came long before his hosting gig - you can see it in action when he frequently broke character as a cast member on Saturday Night Live (yes, even more than Bill Hader as Stefon ). You can't always blame him though. It's probably hard to keep it together when Will Ferrell does something utterly ridiculous, whether he's a posh department store manager in "Jeffrey's" or a horny guy in a hot tub in "The Love-ahs With Barbara and Dave." From conspicuous mouth twitching to hysterical laughter, here are all the times that Jimmy broke on SNL ! https://ift.tt/34bWBnj

The Good Place Cast Has Some Forking Terrific Roles Lined Up After the Show Ends

We're really forking unhappy that The Good Place is ending after its fourth season , and we know we aren't the only ones. The NBC comedy, which first aired back in September 2016, is one of the weirdest and most hilarious series out there, and we're going to miss our favorite members of the afterlife when the series wraps. But even though the end of The Good Place feels like the Bad Place, we don't have to say goodbye to Eleanor and the gang for good at the end of season four. Here's where you can expect to see cast of The Good Place next. Related: The Good Place Cast Looks So Forking Cute at the Emmys, We Could Cry https://ift.tt/2MUC0Ov

10 Fun Facts Even the Biggest Ariana Grande Fans May Not Know

If you have recently listened to the radio, scrolled through social media , or turned on a TV, you are probably aware of pop singer Ariana Grande . Over the past few years, Ariana has really become a major household name - and for good reason. In February 2019, the Grammy award winner and absolute superstar topped the Billboard charts with the top 3 songs in the nation; this accomplishment had only been previously achieved by the Beatles . Ariana is known just as much for her love and dedication to her fans as she is to her incredible vocals, and her fun personality shows in her music and performances.

Kelly Clarkson Covered "I Put a Spell on You" as Winifred From Hocus Pocus, and It's Glorious

Kelly Clarkson pulled out all the stops as she covered "I Put a Spell on You" during her show on Thursday. For the special Halloween episode, the singer dressed as Winifred Sanderson from Hocus Pocus as she performed the spooky hit. And let's just say, it was frightfully good. Not only did she don the witch's signature red hair, but Clarkson hit all the right notes as she walked around the stage with backup singers dressed as Sarah and Mary Sanderson. This just might be our favorite "Kellyoke" segment yet . Get into the Halloween spirit with Clarkson's full performance above. https://ift.tt/2PD2PIL

Is There Anything More Perfect Than Haim Dressing Up as Hanson For Halloween?

View this post on Instagram A post shared by HAIM (@haimtheband) on Oct 29, 2019 at 11:18am PDT What do you dress up as for Halloween when you're a famous pop rock trio? Fellow famous pop rock trio Hanson, of course. A few days before the holiday, Haim revealed their very accurate group costume by recreating Hanson's music video for their once inescapable 1997 hit "MMMBop." The video has it all: long swinging hair, braces, and awkwardly oversize shirts! The group - comprised of Alana, Danielle, and Este Haim - also announced they'd be releasing a new single, "Now I'm in It," on Oct. 30. (It's expected to be a "HAIMMMMMMMMbop.") Watch the beautifully nostalgic video above, and then feel free to enjoy their Hocus Pocus group costume from last year. https://ift.tt/2NqoG3q

HBO Officially Passes on Its First Game of Thrones Prequel Series

It looks like the Age of Heroes won't be coming to our screens anytime soon. The highly anticipated Game of Thrones prequel from British screenwriter Jane Goldman is officially not moving to a series at HBO . According to The Hollywood Reporter , sources revealed that Goldman broke the news to the cast through email, though HBO has declined to comment on the matter. The Game of Thrones prequel was expected to premiere in 2021 and follow Westeros's descent from the Stark-filled golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour: the first ever battle between man and White Walker. Naomi Watts was the first star attached to the production and was quickly followed by alums from Poldark , Humans , Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald , and more. Related: Mother of Dragons!

John Cho Fights a Terrifying Curse in the Trailer For the R-Rated Grudge Reboot

Much like a vengeful spirit that refuses to leave blonde American expats alone, Hollywood just can't resist reviving The Grudge for more and more sequels. After reimagining Takashi Shimizu's 2002 Japanese supernatural horror film for an American audience in 2004, then giving that film two more sequels in 2006 and 2009, the story is being dusted off yet again for a 2020 release starring John Cho, Andrea Riseborough, and Betty Gilpin. And now we have a horrifying trailer to give us a taste of what's to come! (Spoiler alert: nightmares. Lots of nightmares.) Just like in the first few films in the franchise, the R-rated Grudge reboot follows a key piece of lore despite now being set in the US: "When someone dies in the grip of rage, a curse is born." Cho plays Peter, a realtor who goes to check out a new house assigned to his company, only to encounter what seems like a decaying body in a bloody bathtub. He reports the incident to a local detective (Riseborou

Exclusive: Read a Bone-Chilling Chapter From Simone St. James's The Sun Down Motel

As someone with a voracious appetite for reading thrillers , there are very few novels that leave me feeling genuinely spooked, so much so that I feel the need to crawl out from under my covers at night and turn on the light, just in case. Rest assured that Simone St. James's The Sun Down Motel is very much one of those books, taking twists and turns that are equal parts compelling and creepy. The novel, which is due out on Feb. 18, 2020 (you can preorder a copy here ), follows the stories of two women in two different decades: Carly Kirk, who's on a mission to figure out what really happened to her Aunt Viv, who mysteriously disappeared in the town of Fell, NY, 35 years earlier; and then there's Viv herself, who was last spotted working at the Sun Down Motel before disappearing off the face of the earth. Is something supernatural responsible? And will Carly be able to find some answers before she suffers a similar fate? While you still have a few months to go before

The Iconic Halloween Movie You Should Watch Tonight Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Trying to narrow down the perfect Halloween movie to watch come Fall is like attempting to decide which is better: candy corn or candy apples (it's obviously candy corn, but for the sake of this analogy, I'll let it slide). There are plenty of horror movies to choose from, as well as beloved childhood classics like Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas . What's a movie fan to do? Instead of hemming and hawing and just watching a Friends rerun because you can't make a decision, let your zodiac sign steer your festive night in instead. Related: Time to Get Spooky!

Kelly Clarkson and John Legend's "Baby, It's Cold Outside" Duet Will Feature Less Creepy Lyrics

Let's face it: while "Baby, It's Cold Outside" is one of the catchiest classic Christmas songs around, the lyrics have not aged well. In fact, the tune has sparked multiple controversies in recent years due to its questionable lyrics, which have led many to wonder if they describe an instance of date rape . But now, thanks to The Voice judges Kelly Clarkson and John Legend, a new edition of the song will be sufficiently less creepy. Per Vanity Fair 's new cover story featuring Legend, the more-woke take on the holiday song will debut as a standalone single closer to the holidays. Legend is penning the new lyrics along with Insecure 's Natasha Rothwell , and it will reportedly be "every bit as fun and swinging as the original." Legend even gave the magazine a taste of the new lyrics: "What will my friends think . . ." sings Clarkson. "I think they should rejoice," Legend responds. " . . . if I have one more drink?&qu

Friendly Reminder: Ryan Reynolds Might Never Be Hotter Than He Was in The Amityville Horror

The remake of The Amityville Horror might have premiered in 2005, but it's never far from my mind. True, it's not the greatest horror movie to come out in the last few years, but one very special person makes the whole thing watchable: Ryan Reynolds . Unlike his character in Deadpool , Reynolds is a vision of physical perfection, and - if I may be so bold - at peak hotness. In addition to kick-starting my love of seeing him on screen, his role in the horror flick also taught me a valuable lesson: it's much easier to forgive someone for being possessed by demons and trying to murder their family if they do it while having an eight-pack, I guess.

Yes, We're Still Talking About That Game of Thrones Coffee Cup, and Emilia Clarke Says It's All Varys's Fault

We thought the whole Game of Thrones coffee cup debacle had finally died down, after months of speculation regarding who was to blame for the Starbucks cup that appeared in a scene during season eight . But on Wednesday, the topic came up again when Emilia Clarke stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon . Clarke has long been considered the most likely person to have left the cup on set during filming, and Sophie Turner seemed pretty sure it belonged to her . But the Last Christmas star had a very different story to tell. Apparently, at an Emmy's party, another Game of Thrones star confessed they may have been responsible for the extra prop. "Conleth [Hill], who plays Varys, who's sitting next to me in that scene, he pulls me aside and says, 'Emilia, I've got to tell you something, love, the coffee cup was mine.'" Clarke told Fallon, her eyes wide, though she does go on to admit, "He might have been drunk, but he said it." Apparen

We can always count on Kylie Jenner to bring the sexy , especially when it comes to Halloween . After giving us a peak of her adorable daughter, Stormi Webster, dressed as Jenner herself from this year's Met Gala, Kylie dressed up as Disney's The Little Mermaid - and it's the sexiest Disney princess we've ever seen. Kylie wore a green sequin skirt with a very high slit up the leg and a turquoise bikini bottom underneath; she paired the sparkly skirt with a strapless bandeau top modeled after two pinkish-purple seashells. As finishing touches, she accessorized the look with white fishnet sleeves, a long glamorous red wig, and a "Flounder" handbag that's almost as cute as little Stormi . Kylie's best friend Anastasia "Stassie" Karanikolaou also got in on the Disney action. Stassie dressed up as a supersexy Cinderella, wearing a light blue co-ord covered in silver rhinestones, sheer white gloves, and a matching blue headband. Read ahead

Ashley Graham Slips Into a Sizzling-Hot Jessica Rabbit Costume For Halloween

Celebrities did not come to play this Halloween . In the time we managed to carve a mediocre pumpkin, our favorite celebrities outdid themselves with mind-blowing, expert-level Halloween costumes. They dressed as each other , their parents , and reimagined simple characters. Ashley Graham chose the latter, but there was nothing simple about her costume. She chose to play dress up as Jessica Rabbit, and damn, let's just crown her queen of Halloween right here and now. For Ashley's sizzling-hot version of the iconic cartoon character, she slipped into a supersexy red latex dress complete with a pair of sneakers (we stan her footwear choice) and crystal-studded purple latex gloves that went up over her elbows. For her hair and makeup, she wore a long, cherry-coloured wig styled by hairstylist Justine Marjan (who also assisted with getting Ashley's gloves on) and lilac shadow with a violet cut crease and latex-like lipstick, executed by makeup artist Ash K Holm .
