                <description>Sydney Sweeney finally broke her silence on the Zendaya rumours and there&#x27;s a lot to unpack&#xA;Sydney Sweeney has dismissed speculation surrounding alleged tensions within the Euphoria cast. Saying social media and the press have &quot;spun things&quot; far beyond reality as she addressed persistent rumours of a rift with co-star Zendaya, the actress, 28, spoke about the long-running gossip during an interview with Vanity Fair as the final season of HBO&#x27;s Euphoria reaches audiences after years of delays and intense scrutiny.&#xA;Sydney, who plays Cassie Howard in the hit drama, has spent recent years balancing Euphoria with a string of major projects including Anyone But You, Immaculate and The White Lotus creator Mike White&#x27;s upcoming projects. Zendaya, who stars as Rue Bennett on the show, has meanwhile continued her rise as one of Hollywood&#x27;s biggest stars through the Dune films alongside Timoth&#xE9;e Chalamet and her role as MJ in the Spider-Man franchise opposite fianc&#xE9; Tom Holland.&#xA;Rumours of friction between the pair have circulated online for several years, fuelled by speculation about politics, scheduling conflicts and unfounded claims regarding Tom.&#xA;Addressing the constant scrutiny around the cast, Sydney told Vanity Fair: &quot;Well, I mean, we all grew up together on this show, so it&#x27;s honestly crazy to watch how much social media and the press spin things.&quot;&#xA;The actress also responded to claims cast members&#x27; schedules had contributed to delays surrounding production. She added: &quot;So the moment they say, &#x27;Hey, this is the first day of filming&#x27;, I&#x27;m legally not allowed to do anything else. So my schedule doesn&#x27;t affect the show.&quot;&#xA;Sydney continued: &quot;And so that was funny to watch everybody spin narratives on it. All of us were in first position, so it wasn&#x27;t like any of our schedules were holding it up.&quot;&#xA;While Sydney did not directly address rumours involving Zendaya, speculation intensified among fans after she shared a gallery of behind-the-scenes images from Euphoria on Instagram which featured several cast members, including Jacob Elordi, Alexa Demie and Eric Dane, who died earlier this year aged 52, but did not include Zendaya.&#xA;The omission prompted renewed discussion online, with some fans suggesting it reflected distance between the two actresses.&#xA;Additional rumours have focused on separate arrivals at promotional events and social media activity involving Tom, although neither Sydney nor Zendaya has publicly confirmed any personal disagreement.&#xA;Sydney also used the interview to address political labels that have followed her in recent years. After previously being dubbed a &quot;MAGA Barbie&quot; by some online commentators, Sydney reiterated she does not wish to be defined through political narratives.&#xA;She said: &quot;I&#x27;ve never been here to talk about politics. I&#x27;ve always been here to make art, so this is just not a conversation I want to be at the forefront of.&quot;&#xA;Sydney added: &quot;I think because of that, people want to take it even further and use me as their own pawn.&quot;&#xA;The actress also spoke about the difficulty of correcting public assumptions. She said: &quot;I haven&#x27;t figured it out. I&#x27;m not a hateful person. If I say: &#x27;That&#x27;s not true&#x27;, they&#x27;ll come at me like: &#x27;You&#x27;re just saying that to look better&#x27;. There&#x27;s no winning. There&#x27;s never any winning.&quot;&#xA;Sydney added: &quot;I just have to continue being who I am, because I know who I am. I can&#x27;t make everyone love me. I know what I stand for.&quot;&#xA;Zendaya has previously spoken publicly about political issues and voting rights, including a 2020 social media post encouraging people to vote.&#xA;Euphoria, created by Sam Levinson, became one of HBO&#x27;s most talked-about dramas following its debut in 2019, helping launch Sydney and Zendaya to new levels of global fame.&#xA;&#xA;Become a part of our ZM Close Friends list and get our newsletter with all the&amp;nbsp;hottest concert news, exclusive giveaways,&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;behind-the-scenes goss&amp;nbsp;straight to your inbox!&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;(function(d,s,id,u){&#xA;  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;&#xA;  var js, sjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],&#xA;      t = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000000);&#xA;  js=d.createElement(s); js.id=id; js.async=1; js.src=u&#x2B;&#x27;?&#x27;&#x2B;t;&#xA;  sjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, sjs);&#xA;}(document, &#x27;script&#x27;, &#x27;os-widget-jssdk&#x27;, &#x27;https://www.opinionstage.com/assets/loader.js&#x27;));&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Brb having a rat girl winter.&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;</description>

                <description>In an interview with Variety, David Harbour finally responded to Lily Allen&#x27;s breakup album and basically said: that&#x27;s her version, not mine.&#xA;The juiciest bit was him saying hearing songs inspired by their marriage ending was &quot;weird&quot; and that while he respects her right to make art from her experiences, &quot;It wasn&#x27;t my experience.&quot;&#xA;He also pointedly added: &quot;Stories are complex,&quot; suggesting there&#x27;s more to the breakup than what&#x27;s portrayed in the album.&#xA;Meanwhile, Lily&#x27;s album reportedly dives into infidelity, heartbreak and emotional turmoil, but she has already warned fans that it&#x27;s a &quot;mixture of fact and fiction&quot; rather than a literal account.&#xA;Separately, David revealed he suffered a mental health breakdown last year and admitted stress can sometimes lead to erratic behaviour, which he described as &quot;embarrassing&quot; and something he&#x27;s ashamed of.&#xA;So the headline takeaway: David isn&#x27;t disputing Lily&#x27;s right to tell her story, but he&#x27;s making it clear that her album doesn&#x27;t tell his side of what happened.&#xA;&#xA;Become a part of our ZM Close Friends list and get our newsletter with all the&amp;nbsp;hottest concert news, exclusive giveaways,&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;behind-the-scenes goss&amp;nbsp;straight to your inbox!&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;(function(d,s,id,u){&#xA;  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;&#xA;  var js, sjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],&#xA;      t = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000000);&#xA;  js=d.createElement(s); js.id=id; js.async=1; js.src=u&#x2B;&#x27;?&#x27;&#x2B;t;&#xA;  sjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, sjs);&#xA;}(document, &#x27;script&#x27;, &#x27;os-widget-jssdk&#x27;, &#x27;https://www.opinionstage.com/assets/loader.js&#x27;));&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Play ZM loud all weekend long.&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;</description>

I like to call them &#x2018;Bubl&#xE9;-bies&#x2019;.&#x201D;&#xA;&#xA;Our saucy podcast, Sex.Life&#x27;s first season&amp;nbsp;was a wild journey exposing what goes on behind the locked gates of a secret sex school in rural New Zealand...&#xA;Each episode is a new day at sex school, revealing&amp;nbsp;unorthodox exercises and interactions which provides a springboard for a discussion about sex and embracing sexuality.&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;              @zmonline What happens in Sex School doesn&#x2019;t stay in Sex School &#x1F92D; Catch all the juicy deets &amp;#38; listen to Sex.Life wherever you get your poddys from!  &#x266C; original sound - ZM   &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Meanwhile, Kevin explained recently that his second solo single,&amp;nbsp;Little Things, was inspired by his relationship with his wife.&#xA;He told&amp;nbsp;People: &#x201C;It&#x2019;s a great extension of my story with Danielle, it truly is.&#xA;&#x201C;We have three big years ahead of us: we have a big birthday for her this year, a big birthday for me next year, and then our 20th wedding anniversary in 2029, which is an insane thing to think about.&#x201D;&#xA;As for how things stand currently between him and Danielle, Kevin continued: &#x201C;I&#x2019;m more attracted to her today than I was yesterday and I&#x2019;m more in love with her than I was yesterday.&#xA;&#x201C;A lot of people get married early and can grow apart because they become new people. I think what was really cool is we both found out who we were as individuals while we were growing and just fell more and more in love with each other.&#x201D;&#xA;First published by iHeart, republished here with permissions &#x2B; edits.&amp;nbsp;&#xA;&#xA;Play ZM&amp;nbsp;to keep up with the latest &amp;amp; greatest &#x1F410;&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;</description>

                <description>Dua Lipa&#x2019;s romantic Italian wedding celebrations have reportedly hit a sour note with locals, after residents in Palermo voiced anger over disruption caused by the star&#x2011;studded event.&#xA;The Houdini hitmaker, 30, and actor Callum Turner, 36, were tying the knot for a second time in Sicily this weekend, after legally marrying in London last week. But while the couple&#x2019;s Mediterranean nuptials were shaping up to be a fairytale affair, some residents have pushed back loudly.&#xA;According to The Sun, locals living near key wedding locations have put up posters reading &#x201C;Palermo is not for rent&#x201D; and &#x201C;Our square is not your living room&#x201D;, accusing the couple of taking over public spaces for private celebrations.&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;                    View this post on Instagram            A post shared by ZM (@zmonline)&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Locals reportedly compensated&#xA;In an apparent attempt to ease tensions, the outlet reports that Dua and Callum have paid &#xA3;5,000 to residents whose apartments overlook areas affected by extra parking and heightened security around the wedding.&#xA;A source told the publication the move &#x201C;doesn&#x2019;t really match the idyllic love story vibe that Dua seems to be going for,&#x201D; suggesting the couple were keen to smooth things over amid growing frustration.&#xA;Public spaces closed and NDAs signed.&#xA;&#xA;Become a part of our ZM Close Friends list and get our newsletter with all the&amp;nbsp;hottest concert news, exclusive giveaways,&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;behind-the-scenes goss&amp;nbsp;straight to your inbox!&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;(function(d,s,id,u){&#xA;  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;&#xA;  var js, sjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],&#xA;      t = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000000);&#xA;  js=d.createElement(s); js.id=id; js.async=1; js.src=u&#x2B;&#x27;?&#x27;&#x2B;t;&#xA;  sjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, sjs);&#xA;}(document, &#x27;script&#x27;, &#x27;os-widget-jssdk&#x27;, &#x27;https://www.opinionstage.com/assets/loader.js&#x27;));&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;It has also been claimed that two public squares in Palermo have been temporarily closed to the public for the event, with some residents allegedly asked to sign non&#x2011;disclosure agreements.&#xA;Road closures, no&#x2011;drone zones and private security reportedly working alongside local police were been put in place ahead of the ceremony, which is was expected to draw a seriously A&#x2011;list guest list including Sir Elton John, Charli XCX and Donatella Versace.&#xA;Officials have not publicly confirmed details of the wedding, with one source alleging authorities have referred to the closures as a &#x201C;demonstration production&#x201D; rather than acknowledging the ceremony itself.&#xA;&#xA;Dance the night away with ZM&#x27;s Playlist.&amp;nbsp;&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Protests escalate&#xA;While some protest posters were reportedly removed by wedding planners, locals responded by tagging slogans onto walls so they couldn&#x2019;t be easily scrubbed away. An anti&#x2011;tourism group behind the protest encouraged residents to hang posters from their balconies, framing the backlash as part of a wider movement against wealthy outsiders taking over historic city centres.&#xA;The reaction highlights ongoing tensions across parts of Europe, where locals have increasingly pushed back against over&#x2011;tourism and the privatisation of public spaces even when it involves global superstars.&#xA;At the time of writing, Dua Lipa has not publicly commented on the reported backlash.&#xA;First published by NZ Herald, republished with permission &#x2B; edits.&amp;nbsp;&#xA;&#xA;Play ZM&amp;nbsp;to keep up with the latest &amp;amp; greatest &#x1F410;&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;</description>

                <description>&#xA;Jeremy Clarkson has unveiled a new OnlyFans-style venture called Only Farmers.&#xA;&#xA;The 66-year-old TV host&#x2019;s new venture is a countryside-focused booking platform that borrows its name from the adult subscription website OnlyFans while aiming to connect visitors directly with farms and rural businesses across Britain.&#xA;Clarkson has launched the online service as the latest extension of his growing farming and hospitality interests.&#xA;The platform is designed to help farmers offer accommodation, tours, workshops and seasonal events directly to customers.&#xA;The launch coincides with the arrival of the fifth series of&amp;nbsp;Clarkson&#x2019;s Farm, which premiered last week and continues to document life at Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire.&#xA;&#xA;Become a part of our ZM Close Friends list and get our newsletter with all the&amp;nbsp;hottest concert news, exclusive giveaways,&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;behind-the-scenes goss&amp;nbsp;straight to your inbox!&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;(function(d,s,id,u){&#xA;  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;&#xA;  var js, sjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],&#xA;      t = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000000);&#xA;  js=d.createElement(s); js.id=id; js.async=1; js.src=u&#x2B;&#x27;?&#x27;&#x2B;t;&#xA;  sjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, sjs);&#xA;}(document, &#x27;script&#x27;, &#x27;os-widget-jssdk&#x27;, &#x27;https://www.opinionstage.com/assets/loader.js&#x27;));&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;The programme has become one of Jeremy&#x2019;s most successful projects since his years fronting&amp;nbsp;Top Gear&amp;nbsp;and later&amp;nbsp;The Grand Tour, while also bringing renewed attention to the challenges facing British agriculture and rural communities.&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;                    View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Prime Video UK &amp;amp; IE (@primevideouk)&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Promoting the new platform, Clarkson is quoted on the website as saying users can enjoy &#x201C;experiences in the countryside you never knew existed&#x201D;.&#xA;The service is not connected to adult content and instead positions itself as a marketplace for farm-based experiences, offering an alternative route for rural businesses seeking additional income streams.&#xA;According to the website: &#x201C;The platform is built for bookable farm experiences: workshops, animal encounters, pick-your-own days, tastings, farm stays, private hire and seasonal events.&#x201D;&#xA;The description continues: &#x201C;Only Farmers is launching with UK farms first, while welcoming visitors from around the world to discover the British countryside.&#x201D;&#xA;It adds: &#x201C;From farm stays and family days to workshops, great food, animals, and events, book directly with the farmer.&#x201D;&#xA;The venture expands Clarkson&#x2019;s portfolio of countryside businesses centred around Diddly Squat Farm near Chipping Norton.&#xA;&#xA;Georgia&#x27;s Country Jams has you covered for the farm vibes&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Since Clarkson&#x2019;s Farm debuted in 2021, the presenter has repeatedly used the programme to highlight issues affecting farmers, including rising costs, planning disputes, labour shortages and the pressures facing food producers.&#xA;The fifth series of&amp;nbsp;Clarkson&#x2019;s Farm&amp;nbsp;again features several of the programme&#x2019;s best-known personalities, including Clarkson&#x2019;s partner Lisa Hogan and farm manager Kaleb Cooper.&#xA;Both have become household names through the series, which has developed a substantial international audience.&#xA;Alongside the farm itself, Clarkson has established several businesses linked to the success of the programme.&#xA;Diddly Squat Farm Shop has become a major visitor attraction, selling locally sourced produce and merchandise, while The Farmer&#x2019;s Dog pub, located on the A40 near Burford, opened as another attempt to support British farmers and food producers.&#xA;In recent years, Clarkson has increasingly positioned himself as an advocate for the rural economy through&amp;nbsp;Clarkson&#x2019;s Farm.&#xA;&#xA;Like this content?

                <description>Alex Warren is officially entering a new era.&#xA;After a breakout year that saw him dominate charts around the world with hit singles like &quot;Ordinary&quot; and cement his place as one of pop music&#x27;s fastest-rising stars, Alex has announced his next album, Wildchild. The singer revealed the project on social media, confirming that the album is set to arrive on August 28, 2026. Early reports indicate the record will feature 13 brand-new tracks, marking Warren&#x27;s first major album release since 2025&#x27;s You&#x27;ll Be Alright, Kid.&#xA;The announcement comes at a pivotal moment in Warren&#x27;s career. Over the past year, the California-born artist has transformed from social media personality into a global pop phenomenon. His smash hit &quot;Ordinary&quot; became one of the defining songs of 2025, while his debut album You&#x27;ll Be Alright, Kid showcased the emotional storytelling and vulnerable songwriting that have become his trademarks.&#xA;While Warren has yet to reveal a full tracklist, fans are already speculating about the sound and themes of Wildchild. The title suggests a shift toward a bolder, more adventurous chapter, potentially building on the confidence and optimism that emerged throughout You&#x27;ll Be Alright, Kid. With recent releases such as &quot;Fever Dream&quot; hinting at a fresh creative direction, anticipation for the new project is already growing across social media.&#xA;The album&#x27;s release date also coincides with Alex&#x27;s busy touring schedule. The singer is set to perform arena shows across Australia and New Zealand as part of his 2026 world tour, giving fans a chance to hear new music live shortly after the album arrives.&#xA;Wildchild arrives August 28, 2026.&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;                    View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Alex Warren (@alexwarren)&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Become a part of our ZM Close Friends list and get our newsletter with all the&amp;nbsp;hottest concert news, exclusive giveaways,&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;behind-the-scenes goss&amp;nbsp;straight to your inbox!&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;(function(d,s,id,u){&#xA;  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;&#xA;  var js, sjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],&#xA;      t = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000000);&#xA;  js=d.createElement(s); js.id=id; js.async=1; js.src=u&#x2B;&#x27;?&#x27;&#x2B;t;&#xA;  sjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, sjs);&#xA;}(document, &#x27;script&#x27;, &#x27;os-widget-jssdk&#x27;, &#x27;https://www.opinionstage.com/assets/loader.js&#x27;));&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Play ZM to bless your taringa&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;</description>

                <description>The fan theories were right... Taylor Swift is headed to Toy Story 5.&#xA;Taylor Swift has confirmed she has written an original song for Disney and Pixar&#x2019;s upcoming Toy Story 5 after months of speculation from fans.&#xA;The 36-year-old singer-songwriter announced on Instagram on her new track, titled I Knew It, I Knew You, will feature in the fifth instalment of the animated franchise.&#xA;Her song is due for release on 5 June, ahead of Toy Story 5 arriving in cinemas on 19 June.&#xA;Taylor said on Instagram:&#xA;&#xA;It&#x2019;s a Toy Story &#x2013; you knew it! My new original song I Knew It, I Knew You for Disney and @pixar&#x2019;s @toystory 5 will be yours on June 5th.&#xA;I&#x27;ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I have adored since I was a 5-year-old kid watching the first Toy Story movie.&#xA;I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening.&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &amp;quot;I Knew It, I Knew You,&amp;quot; Taylor&amp;#39;s original song for @ToyStory 5, is out this Friday! &#x2601;&#xFE0F; Pre-order Collector&amp;#39;s Edition CDs, each with unique vocals and production.

Additional slides appeared to tease artwork for original, piano and acoustic versions of the song.&#xA;Taylor also shared links via Instagram Stories to three collector&#x2019;s edition CDs, describing them as featuring &#x201C;unique vocals and production&#x201D;.&#xA;Speculation surrounding the collaboration had been building among fans since April, when a Toy Story-themed countdown briefly appeared on Taylor&#x2019;s website.&#xA;It had a blue sky background with white clouds resembling imagery associated with the Pixar franchise and was visible for only 10 minutes before disappearing.&#xA;You can&#x27;t fool us for too long Taylor!&#xA;&#xA;This article is was first published by Bang Showbiz and is republished here with edits&amp;nbsp;&#xA;&#xA;Become a part of our ZM Close Friends list and get our newsletter with all the&amp;nbsp;hottest concert news, exclusive giveaways,&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;behind-the-scenes goss&amp;nbsp;straight to your inbox!&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;(function(d,s,id,u){&#xA;  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;&#xA;  var js, sjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],&#xA;      t = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000000);&#xA;  js=d.createElement(s); js.id=id; js.async=1; js.src=u&#x2B;&#x27;?&#x27;&#x2B;t;&#xA;  sjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, sjs);&#xA;}(document, &#x27;script&#x27;, &#x27;os-widget-jssdk&#x27;, &#x27;https://www.opinionstage.com/assets/loader.js&#x27;));&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Brb having a rat girl winter.&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;</description>

                <description>Zara&#x27;s bedtime is 6am. Her days off? Two. On the entire US tour...&#xA;Zara - who released her latest album, Midnight Sun, last year - told Vogue Singapore: &quot;Sometimes I forget that to go hard you have to rest hard.&quot;It&#x2019;s not as glamorous as people might think. When everyone goes to sleep, my second &#x2018;workday&#x2019; starts where I&#x2019;m listening and commenting on production for the remix album, going through notes for creative decks, looking at merch, basically anything creative that I can do from my computer. When the clock hits 6am, I try to go to sleep.&quot;On the US tour, I think I had two days off so most days sort of blended into each other, like I was in a strange magical bubble.&quot;Zara is currently on tour in Europe, and she still loves the experience of performing live for her fans.The Crush hitmaker also revealed that she feels &quot;grateful&quot; for all of her success.She said: &quot;Performing live is my biggest passion, so it&#x2019;s been quite emotional and very rewarding.&quot;&quot;You can look at numbers online, but when a room gets bigger because more people want to come and dance and sing with you, that&#x2019;s something different. It feels like people are not just listening, they&#x2019;re rooting for me. I feel very grateful.&quot;&#xA;New Zealand, that&#x27;s going to be us on October 25/26 at Spark Arena. The shows sold out fast so if you&#x27;ve got your tickets, get excited because this one is not to be missed.&#xA;&#xA;Become a part of our ZM Close Friends list and get our newsletter with all the&amp;nbsp;hottest concert news, exclusive giveaways,&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;behind-the-scenes goss&amp;nbsp;straight to your inbox!&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;(function(d,s,id,u){&#xA;  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;&#xA;  var js, sjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],&#xA;      t = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000000);&#xA;  js=d.createElement(s); js.id=id; js.async=1; js.src=u&#x2B;&#x27;?&#x27;&#x2B;t;&#xA;  sjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, sjs);&#xA;}(document, &#x27;script&#x27;, &#x27;os-widget-jssdk&#x27;, &#x27;https://www.opinionstage.com/assets/loader.js&#x27;));&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Play ZM to bless your taringa&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;</description>

                <description>We&#x27;re so getting played... &#xA;It has been ten years since Rihanna released Anti, her eighth studio album, on January 28, 2016. For her devoted fanbase, the wait for new music has been long, occasionally frustrating, and filled with false hope, so when Rihanna does anything that hints at a comeback, the internet takes notice.&#xA;Her latest moment came when she reshared a video from Whitney Rose, a cast member on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, who humorously pointed out just how long it has been since Rihanna last dropped an album. The repost was simple, but it was enough to set social media alight, with fans flooding timelines with a familiar wave of memes, jokes, and cautious optimism about her long-awaited ninth album, widely known as R9.&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#x1F440; @rihanna reposts Whitney Rose saying she needs new Rihanna music.&#x201C;I feel attacked!!!&#x201D; pic.twitter.com/fHtqRS9LKX&amp;mdash; FentyStats (@FentyStats) May 27, 2026 &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;To be fair, Rihanna has hardly been sitting still. Since Anti, she has built Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty into hugely successful global brands, headlined the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show, and started a family with rapper A$AP Rocky, welcoming sons RZA in 2022 and Riot in 2023.&#xA;Still, for fans who have been waiting a decade for new music, even a light hearted repost is enough to keep the hope alive. Most are taking the moment for what it is, a fun interaction rather than a major announcement, but that has never stopped anyone from dreaming that R9 might finally be closer than it seems.&#xA;Let&#x27;s see if ZM can check off another item off our 2026 bingo card....&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&#xA;&#xA;Become a part of our ZM Close Friends list and get our newsletter with all the&amp;nbsp;hottest concert news, exclusive giveaways,&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;behind-the-scenes goss&amp;nbsp;straight to your inbox!&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;(function(d,s,id,u){&#xA;  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;&#xA;  var js, sjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],&#xA;      t = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000000);&#xA;  js=d.createElement(s); js.id=id; js.async=1; js.src=u&#x2B;&#x27;?&#x27;&#x2B;t;&#xA;  sjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, sjs);&#xA;}(document, &#x27;script&#x27;, &#x27;os-widget-jssdk&#x27;, &#x27;https://www.opinionstage.com/assets/loader.js&#x27;));&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Play ZM loud all weekend long.&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;</description>

                <description>Emily in Paris actor dies after sudden, severe illness&#xA;&#xA;Pierre Deny, the veteran French actor known to international audiences for his role in Emily in Paris, has died aged 69 following a battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS.&#xA;&#xA;The actor&#x2019;s death was confirmed by his daughters, who announced in a statement he had died on Monday local time after complications linked to the progressive neurological condition.&#xA;Deny had recently appeared in seasons three and four of Netflix&#x2019;s hit romantic comedy drama starring Lily Collins, portraying fashion executive Louis de Leon, the father of Nicholas de Leon, played by Paul Forman.&#xA;The role introduced Deny to a new global audience through the Darren Star-created series, which remains one of Netflix&#x2019;s most watched shows and continues to generate discussion around its portrayal of Parisian fashion culture, luxury branding and romance in the French capital.&#xA;&#xA;Become a part of our ZM Close Friends list and get our newsletter with all the&amp;nbsp;hottest concert news, exclusive giveaways,&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;behind-the-scenes goss&amp;nbsp;straight to your inbox!&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;(function(d,s,id,u){&#xA;  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;&#xA;  var js, sjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],&#xA;      t = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000000);&#xA;  js=d.createElement(s); js.id=id; js.async=1; js.src=u&#x2B;&#x27;?&#x27;&#x2B;t;&#xA;  sjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, sjs);&#xA;}(document, &#x27;script&#x27;, &#x27;os-widget-jssdk&#x27;, &#x27;https://www.opinionstage.com/assets/loader.js&#x27;));&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;The actor was also widely recognised in France for his long-running television work, particularly his role in the soap opera Demain Nous Appartient, known internationally as Tomorrow Belongs To Us.&#xA;His daughters said in a statement: &#x201C;It is with deep emotion that we announce the passing of Pierre Deny, which occurred this Monday following a sudden and severe case of ALS.&#x201D;&#xA;ALS is a degenerative nervous system disease affecting nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, gradually leading to loss of muscle control and paralysis.&#xA;There is currently no cure for the condition.&#xA;Tributes to Deny quickly emerged across the French entertainment industry following news of his death.&#xA;Bulgarian-French singer and actress Sylvie Vartan paid tribute on Instagram following their work together on stage in a play by playwright Isabelle Mergault.&#xA;&#x201C;It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Pierre Deny.I shared many wonderful moments with him on stage in Isabelle Mergault&#x2019;s play.&#x201D;&#xA;Vartan added: &#x201C;He was a generous actor and a sensitive and funny man. In these painful moments, my thoughts are with his family and loved ones.&#x201D;&#xA;Actor Luce Mouchel, his co-star on Demain Nous Appartient, also paid tribute.&#xA;&#x201C;Pierre, seven years of filming together, taking the train together, having lunch at the canteen together.&#x201D;&#xA;She added: &#x201C;A short decade of shared life that should not have ended so quickly and so brutally&#x201D;.&#xA;Mouchel also praised his daughters for what she described as their &#x201C;exceptional courage&#x201D;.&#xA;Deny&#x2019;s death comes amid growing awareness around ALS following the recent death of Grey&#x2019;s Anatomy actor Eric Dane, who died in February aged 53 after publicly revealing his diagnosis in 2025.&#xA;Dane, best known for playing Dr Mark Sloan &#x2013; nicknamed &#x201C;McSteamy&#x201D; &#x2013; in the long-running medical drama, had spoken openly about the devastating impact of the illness in interviews before his death.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Dane&#x2019;s wife, Rebecca Gayheart, spoke publicly about the family&#x2019;s struggles following his diagnosis.&#xA;She told People: &#x201C;I mean, it&#x2019;s heartbreaking&#x201D;.&#xA;&#x201C;My girls are really suffering, and we&#x2019;re just trying to get through it. It&#x2019;s a tough time.&#x201D;&#xA;First published by Bangshowbiz, republished here with permission and edits.&#xA;&#xA;Play ZM&amp;nbsp;to keep up with the latest &amp;amp; greatest &#x1F410;&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;</description>

                <description>&#xA;Kim Kardashian&#x2019;s global shapewear brand Skims is coming to New Zealand later this year, as the marquee signing of new Auckland department store Faradays.&#xA;&#xA;The brand was co-founded in 2019 by Kardashian and Jens Grede, who is also chief executive, and has been valued at US$5 billion ($8.8b).&#xA;Skims offers a range of technically constructed underwear, shapewear, loungewear and swimwear, and has grown to become one of the largest brands of its kind globally.&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;              @kimkardashian @SKIMS &#x266C; original sound - Kim Kardashian   &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Faradays creative director and co-founder Constance von Dadelszen said she wanted to open the fashion conversation at Faradays with a brand that the world already loves, but that New Zealand has never had access to.&#xA;&#xA;Become a part of our ZM Close Friends list and get our newsletter with all the hottest concert news, exclusive giveaways, and behind-the-scenes goss straight to your inbox!&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;(function(d,s,id,u){&#xA;  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;&#xA;  var js, sjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],&#xA;      t = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000000);&#xA;  js=d.createElement(s); js.id=id; js.async=1; js.src=u&#x2B;&#x27;?&#x27;&#x2B;t;&#xA;  sjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, sjs);&#xA;}(document, &#x27;script&#x27;, &#x27;os-widget-jssdk&#x27;, &#x27;https://www.opinionstage.com/assets/loader.js&#x27;));&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#x201C;Skims does that perfectly. It is one of the most culturally relevant brands in the world right now, and the fact that it is also genuinely accessible and the sizing is inclusive &#x2013; makes it exactly the kind of brand we want to champion from day one,&#x201D; Dadelszen said.&#xA;Dadelszen said Faradays was building a retail proposition rooted in experience and service, with a roster of activations, events and an ecosystem of content that means a brand can be experienced &#x201C;well beyond the four walls of the store&#x201D;.&#xA;&#x201C;Skims is a strong example of a brand that understands the value of physical retail, and how important it is to connect with customers in a real-world environment.&#x201D;&#xA;Skims chief executive and co-founder Jens Grede said bringing the brand to New Zealand marked an exciting milestone in its continued international expansion.&#xA;&#x201C;Faradays&#x2019; distinctive point of view and strong connection to the local customer on Queen St make them the ideal partner to introduce Skims to the market while delivering an experience that feels consistent with our global brand vision,&#x201D; Grede said.&#xA;The first release of Skims at Faradays will be priced from $35, with NikeSkims, a collaboration with sports brand Nike, also available at Faradays in spring.&#xA;&#xA;Catch Dean McCarthy on Bree &amp;amp; Clint unleashed every weekday arvo from 3PM giving you all the latest goss straight from Hollywood!&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Faradays chief executive Edward von Dadelszen earlier revealed to the Herald that 130 brands had signed on to the department store, although this has now been lifted to 150.&#xA;Additional announcements as to what brands are coming will be revealed in the coming weeks, with the business hinting towards more in fashion, childrenswear, beauty, tech and lifestyle.&#xA;&#x201C;The names that Skims will sit alongside is an exceptionally strong group of global brands,&#x201D; Dadelszen added.&#xA;Announced in November last year, the $30 million Faradays development at 131 Queen St is a three-level, 3000sq m space being turned into a multi-use department store featuring a restaurant, retail experiences and valet parking.&#xA;The venture is headed by Edward von Dadelszen, alongside developer Andrew Krukziener and property investor Mark Francis.&#xA;Construction in the building is currently underway, with a three-storey concrete staircase inspired by American artist Donald Judd set to be installed in the centre of the site.&#xA;Edward von Dadelszen said the building&#x2019;s fit-out had been in progress for the past four months, and was being imported for installation to begin this month.&#xA;Around 227,000 different stock-keeping units (SKUs) will be available across the aforementioned brands, with at least 80 staff expected to operate the store.&#xA;Von Dadelszen said he was certain that there&#x2019;s a market for a department store in New Zealand, despite the recent closure of Smith and Caughey&#x2019;s in May last year.&#xA;&#x201C;I think when you see what our buying team have worked on, everything feels like it goes together, and that&#x2019;s something that you only get to experience when you&#x2019;re in the space when it&#x2019;s finished. I feel like we&#x2019;ve pulled that together really well.&#x201D;&#xA;First published by NZ Herald, reshared with permission and edits.&amp;nbsp;&#xA;</description>

                <description>Olivia Rodrigo just dropped the tracklist for her new album and we are OBSESSED&#xA;We&#x27;re less than three weeks out from Olivia Rodrigo&#x27;s third album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love dropping on June 12, and she&#x27;s just revealed the full tracklist, and honestly, we couldn&#x27;t be more excited.&#xA;The album is split into two sides: &quot;Girl So in Love&quot; and &quot;You Seem Pretty Sad,&quot; which together make up the full title. Side one includes already-released banger &quot;Drop Dead&quot; (which debuted at No. 1 in the US) alongside dreamy-sounding tracks like &quot;Honeybee,&quot; &quot;Purple,&quot; and the absolutely unhinged-in-the-best-way &quot;Maggots for Brains.&quot; Side two is where second single &quot;The Cure&quot; lives, plus intriguing new titles like &quot;Begged,&quot; &quot;Less Expectations,&quot; and &quot;Cigarette Smoke.&quot;&#xA;The album was produced once again with Dan Nigro, the genius behind Sour and Guts, so we already know it&#x27;s going to be incredible. Olivia has been in full promo mode lately, she appeared on The Tonight Show and absolutely smashed her Saturday Night Live hosting debut on May 2, where she debuted unreleased track &quot;Begged&quot; on a swing (mirroring the album cover). She also surprised the crowd at Coachella performing &quot;Drop Dead&quot; during Addison Rae&#x27;s set.&#xA;The Unravelled Tour sold out so fast it expanded from 65 to 86 dates.

                <description>Jacob Elordi spent his last Euphoria episode locked in a box with a snake he described as &quot;super cute and really cuddly.&quot; We have questions...&#xA;Jacob Elordi has described the brutal on-screen death of his Euphoria character Nate Jacobs as &quot;a cool way to go&quot;. Following a shocking episode that saw the long-running antagonist buried alive and fatally bitten by a snake, the actor, 28, made the comment while speaking in a post-show recap with HBO after Sunday&#x27;s (24.05.26) episode of the hit HBO drama, created by Sam Levinson, in which his character met a grisly end amid a botched attempt to repay a criminal debt.&#xA;Jacob said: &quot;Nate was someone who has made so many mistakes and made so many dark choices. It&#x27;s cool to see it all come to what it&#x27;s come to.&quot;&#xA;In his farewell episode, Nate is placed in a coffin by gangster Naz, played by Jack Topalian, as collateral for a debt, with a pipe supplying oxygen while his wife Cassie, played by Sydney Sweeney, 28, attempts to raise the money.&#xA;The plan unravels when a snake enters through the pipe and fatally bites him.&#xA;Reflecting on filming the claustrophobic sequence, Jacob said: &quot;It was really nice, actually &#x2013; it was quite peaceful in there.&quot;&#xA;He added: &quot;My shoulders were touching the side, and they couldn&#x27;t move my arms, then they would drill the lid on it, and it would get dark.&quot;&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;                    View this post on Instagram            A post shared by euphoria (@euphoria)&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Jacob also described the added complication of working with live animals during filming, noting Sam Levinson&#x27;s intention for realism.&#xA;He said: &quot;Snakes were rattling, which was really alarming when you are locked in a box.&quot;&#xA;Despite the tension, he described one of the animals used as &quot;super cute&quot; and &quot;really cuddly&quot;.&#xA;He added: &quot;He was a sleepy snake. I had to kind of nudge him to get him to come up.&quot;&#xA;The actor, who has also been linked in recent headlines to Kendall Jenner, said the production team prioritised safety, ensuring oxygen flow and limiting the time spent inside the coffin.&#xA;His departure from the series comes after appearing in 23 episodes across its run, charting Nate&#x27;s progression from an abusive teenager to a subdued adult facing mounting consequences.&#xA;Jacob said: &quot;This show is a massive part of &#x2013; not just my career &#x2013; but my life.&quot;&#xA;He added: &quot;It&#x27;s been amazing and I&#x27;m so proud of being a part of this.&quot;&#xA;Nate&#x27;s storyline has been central to Euphoria, including his relationships with Maddy, played by Alexa Demie, and Cassie, as well as his troubled family history involving his father Cal, played by the late Eric Dane.&#xA;Speaking previously to Entertainment Weekly, Jacob said: &quot;I act to understand a different experience, to express an experience that&#x27;s different to my own.&quot;&#xA;He added: &quot;Playing (Nate) taught me a lot about empathy and patience, which is strange with a character like that.&quot;&#xA;Known widely for his breakout role in Netflix&#x27;s The Kissing Booth trilogy, Jacob has become one of the defining faces of Euphoria, which has run for three seasons and remains one of HBO&#x27;s most talked-about series.&#xA;Nate&#x27;s death sets up the season three finale on May 31, and after 23 episodes, one coffin, and a cuddly snake, it&#x27;s safe to say he went out swinging.&#xA;&#xA;Become a part of our ZM Close Friends list and get our newsletter with all the&amp;nbsp;hottest concert news, exclusive giveaways,&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;behind-the-scenes goss&amp;nbsp;straight to your inbox!&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;(function(d,s,id,u){&#xA;  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;&#xA;  var js, sjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],&#xA;      t = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000000);&#xA;  js=d.createElement(s); js.id=id; js.async=1; js.src=u&#x2B;&#x27;?&#x27;&#x2B;t;&#xA;  sjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, sjs);&#xA;}(document, &#x27;script&#x27;, &#x27;os-widget-jssdk&#x27;, &#x27;https://www.opinionstage.com/assets/loader.js&#x27;));&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Play ZM&amp;nbsp;to keep up with the latest &amp;amp; greatest &#x1F410;&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;</description>

                <description>Lola Young said, &#x27;new chapter&#x27; and we&#x27;re so here for it &#x1F60D;&#xA;The Messy hitmaker - who received the PRS for Music Most Performed Work Ivor Novello for her track Messy - has shared her first song since her third album,&amp;nbsp;I&#x2019;m Only F**king Myself.The Grammy winner worked with James Blake on the sprawling, cinematic track.A press release read: &quot;From Down Here opens a new chapter for Lola both personally and creatively. Capturing the strange space between joy and pain, longing and clarity, it turns the page on her last album while pointing toward a more sonically expansive and emotionally unguarded phase of her artistry.&quot;&#xA;Lola commented: &#x201C;The day after the GRAMMYs, I had a wave of inspiration hit me, so I got in the studio with the incredible James Blake and made this song.&amp;nbsp;I am rewriting the next chapter of my story because what a boring book the old one would&#x2019;ve been anyway.&#x201D;Her return to All Things Go comes a year after she collapsed on stage at the festival.The 25-year-old singer&#x27;s set during the event at the Forest Hills Stadium in New York last September was brought to an end early after she fell down and needed to be carried off stage.Lola declared she has to take care of &quot;unfinished business&quot; at the 2026 festival.Lola&#x27;s collapse at the festival in 2025 forced her to cancel all scheduled concerts for the &quot;foreseeable future&quot; as she focused on recovery with the singer later admitting she has been doing a lot better but it&#x27;s an &quot;ongoing process&quot;.&#xA;She told The Sunday Times newspaper&#x27;s Style Magazine: &quot;I think I would rather, for the sake of my privacy, not say too much. What I would say is that recovery is an ongoing process. I&#x2019;m not the finished article, but I&#x2019;m doing a hell of a lot better.&quot;&#xA;She poured her heart into this, and it shows - we love to see it &#x2764;&#xFE0F;&#xA;&#xA;This article was first published by BangShowbiz, republished here with permission and edits.&amp;nbsp;&#xA;&#xA;Listen to a snippet of Lola&#x27;s new song below!&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;                    View this post on Instagram            A post shared by &#x1D57F;&#x1D58D;&#x1D58A;&#x1D58A; &#x1D577;&#x1D594;&#x1D591;&#x1D586; &#x1D584;&#x1D594;&#x1D59A;&#x1D593;&#x1D58C; (@lolayounggg)&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Become a part of our ZM Close Friends list and get our newsletter with all the&amp;nbsp;hottest concert news, exclusive giveaways,&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;behind-the-scenes goss&amp;nbsp;straight to your inbox!&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;(function(d,s,id,u){&#xA;  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;&#xA;  var js, sjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],&#xA;      t = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000000);&#xA;  js=d.createElement(s); js.id=id; js.async=1; js.src=u&#x2B;&#x27;?&#x27;&#x2B;t;&#xA;  sjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, sjs);&#xA;}(document, &#x27;script&#x27;, &#x27;os-widget-jssdk&#x27;, &#x27;https://www.opinionstage.com/assets/loader.js&#x27;));&#xA;&#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Play ZM&amp;nbsp;to keep up with the latest &amp;amp; greatest &#x1F410;&#xA;        &#xA;        &#xA;            &#xA;        &#xA;    &#xA;&#xA;</description>
