Press Room

I am heading in a foreign country for some much-needed relaxation and leisure and to have fun the marriage of a pair of pricey buddies.

However I might by no means depart you with out some Pop Life, whereas I pop off to vacay, and the primary providing is in step with flying off for an escape.

Kaley Cuoco has come a great distance from “The Large Bang Concept.”

Not solely is she starring within the critically acclaimed sequence “The Flight Attendant,” however she’s additionally one of many government producers of the darkish comedy.

Within the new season, Cuoco will get to play totally different variations of her character, Cassie Bowden.

The present is streaming on HBO Max, which like CNN is a part of Warner Bros. Discovery.

‘Russian Doll’ Season 2

After three longs years, we’re lastly getting the return of time traveler Nadia Vulvokov (she prefers the time period “time prisoner”), who in season one received caught up in a Groundhog Day dying spiral.

Natasha Lyonne is fantastic within the lead function and, just like the title suggests, there are layers upon layers right here.

Season two is streaming on Netflix.

‘The First Woman’

When the poster of Viola Davis as former first lady Michelle Obama in Showtime’s “The First Woman” was launched, folks have been shook.

The resemblance was startling, and it stoked pleasure for the sequence.

However the web giveth and it taketh away.

After the primary episode, there have been some … emotions concerning the present.

There are another heavy hitters as effectively — Michelle Pfeiffer as Betty Ford and Gillian Anderson as Eleanor Roosevelt. Test it out for your self and see what all of the hoopla is about.

Extra bonus: If you need extra real-life Davis, her chat with Oprah Winfrey drops Friday on Netflix.

Two issues to take heed to

Jason Aldean is paying tribute to his roots in his new double album.

“Macon, Georgia” is the nation star’s tenth studio album and combines his final album, “Macon,” together with his new one, “Georgia.”

“The place you have been raised has such an enormous affect on who you turn out to be and for me it is no totally different … particularly from a music standpoint,” Aldean stated in a press release on his web site. “My little hometown of Macon was closely instrumental in my musical background. Rising up in an surroundings that was a crossroads between Nation music, Southern rock, blues and R&B, it was simply pure to mix totally different sounds in my very own approach.”

The brand new undertaking drops Friday.

Jewel profitable season six of “The Masked Singer” in December reminded a few of her music profession.

Now, seven years after her final album, “Selecting Up the Items,” she’s again with a brand new one.

“Freewheelin’ Lady” comes as she each has her say and units some issues straight.

“The large false impression, I believe, in my profession was that I used to be dwelling in my automobile for my dream,” Jewel informed Spin. “That was not the case, I used to be dwelling in my automobile as a result of a boss needed to have intercourse with me and once I would not, he would not give me my paycheck. It was gritty and nothing about goals. It was simply concerning the delight of claiming, ‘I can’t have intercourse with you and if I’ve to dwell in my automobile, so be it.’”

The only mother is now extra profitable, however no much less powerful.

Her new album is out now.

One factor to speak about

Harry Types and Shania Twain acting at Coachella jogged my memory of how a lot I find it irresistible when pop stars carry out with nation stars.

Now I do know a few of you may argue that Twain may be thought-about pop, however you possibly can take that up with Nashville.

Crossover style collaborations are removed from new.

Within the early Nineties, U2 teamed up with the legendary Johnny Money to provide “The Wanderer.” And a few of my more moderen favorites, together with H.E.R. with Chris Stapleton performing “Maintain On” ultimately yr’s CMT Music Awards and Stapleton’s epic mash of songs with Justin Timberlake on the CMA Awards in 2015, have come to my consideration courtesy of awards exhibits.

I even talked to former Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter just lately about his duet with nation singer Jimmie Allen for Carter’s new track, “Straightforward.”

Good artists love good music, interval. And so do I, so I am dwelling in gratitude for these kinds of collabs.

One thing to sip on

Shade me obsessive about Rihanna’s child bump.

However only a reminder that as a lot as stars are like us, they positively have some privileges not out there to the remainder of us.

So whereas Rihanna has been very deliberate in her trend selections throughout her being pregnant (she talked to Vogue about that), the common expectant mom could not need to be stomach out as a lot because the star has been for worry of individuals touching that bump with out invitation. (Individuals, please do not try this.)

Now, when you can afford couture fashion to point out off that bambino, have at it and ship me some footage so I can glory in the great thing about them like I do in following RiRi and her bump.
