“I’m Just Ken” from Barbie won best song at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, which were presented on Sunday (Jan. 14) at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif. One week ago, Billie Eilish and Finneas’ “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie won the Golden Globe in that category. With these mixed verdicts, we appear to have a genuine contest on our hands for the Oscar for best original song for the first time in three years. The last two years, “No Time to Die” from the James Bond film of the same name and “Naatu Naatu” from RRR won both of these run-up awards on their way to winning the Oscar.

This is the second Critics Choice Award in this category for “I’m Just Ken” co-writers Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt. They won five years ago for co-writing “Shallow” from A Star Is Born with Lady Gaga and Anthony Rossomando.

There doesn’t appear to be much of a contest for the Oscar for best original score. Ludwig Göransson’s work on Oppenheimer won best score at the Critics Choice Award just as it did at the Golden Globes.

The 29th annual Critics Choice Awards, hosted by a funny and sharp Chelsea Handler, aired live on The CW.

Oppenheimer was the top winner on the film side with eight awards (including best picture and best director), followed by Barbie, with six.

All three core cast members of Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers won awards – Paul Giamatti (best actor), Da’Vine Joy Randolph (best supporting actress) and Dominic Sessa (best young actor/actress).

The biggest shutout on the film side was Killers of the Flower Moon, which had 12 nominations, yet went home empty-handed. Maestro and The Color Purple were also shut out, despite eight and five nods, respectively.

The Bear and Beef were the top winners on the TV side, with four awards each, followed by Succession with three.

Two non-competitive awards were presented. Margot Robbie presented her Barbie co-star America Ferrera with the SeeHer Award. James Mangold presented Harrison Ford with the Career Achievement Award.

The show was executive-produced by Bob Bain Productions and Berlin Entertainment. The Critics Choice Association is the largest critics organization in the U.S. and Canada, representing more than 600 media critics and entertainment journalists. It was established in 2019 with the formal merger of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association. For more information, visit: www.CriticsChoice.com.

The upcoming Linda Ronstadt biopic has found its director.

Filmmaker David O. Russell has been tapped to direct the upcoming film, which will star Selena Gomez as Ronstadt, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The “Single Soon” singer recently teased the role on social media. On Tuesday (Jan. 9), Gomez shared a photo of Ronstadt’s 2013 memoir, Simple Dreams, in her Instagram Stories.

The upcoming film will be produced by James Keach (who also produced the Oscar-winning Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line and the Grammy-winning Ronstadt documentary The Sound of My Voice) along with Boylan, according to the website of Great Eastern Music, a music publisher founded by John Boylan, the “Blue Bayou” singer’s manager. A title for the biopic has not revealed.

It’s not hard to see why Gomez would be a good fit for the role. According to the Only Murders in the Building star herself, she bears a resemblance to the 11-time Grammy winner. “I always used to get told that I look like her,” Gomez previously shared during a 2015 appearance on On Air With Ryan Seacrest. “And I started listening to her music because of that.”

Russell is a five-time Academy Awards nominee for such films as Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle and The Fighter. His latest movie in the theaters was 2022’s Amsterdam, which featured an all-star cast of Christian Bale, Margot Robbie and John David Washington.

Ronstadt, meanwhile, announced her retirement in 2011, citing her Parkinson’s disease diagnosis, but later sharing that she actually has a brain disorder called progressive supranuclear palsy, which resembles Parkinson’s. She was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 and received a lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy in 2016. During her decades-long career, she earned 10 top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hits, with “You’re No Good” reaching the summit in February 1975.

Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes have seemingly become game-day besties. Together, the pair coordinated in custom Kansas City Chiefs puffer coats to brave the blistering cold and support their significant others at Saturday’s (Jan. 13) game against the Miami Dolphins.

The coats were made by designer Kristin Juszczyk, the wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk. Swift sported boyfriend Travis Kelce’s jersey number, 87, on hers, while Mahomes’ jacket displayed her husband Patrick’s number, 15.

“Twinning & Winning,” Mahomes captioned an Instagram photo collection from Saturday’s game, which ended in a 26-7 win for the Chiefs.

The Sunday Instagram post mostly consisted of several pictures of Mahomes with Swift, showing off their similar outfits. With a drink in hand, Swift was playful and silly in her poses next to Mahomes.

Juszczyk, who designed the ladies’ Chiefs outerwear, shared her reaction to them wearing her designs on Saturday with a behind-the-scenes video of herself making the coats. “An honor of a lifetime!!!!!” she wrote. “Thank you @taylorswift & @brittanylynne.”

Swift — who sat next to Kelce’s mom, Donna, at the game — wore her ’87’ coat with an all-black ensemble and Louboutin combat boots.

Ariana Grande‘s “Yes, And?” has topped this week’s new music poll.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Jan. 12) on Billboard, choosing the pop superstar and actress’ highly anticipated single as their favorite new music release of the past week.

Related

“Yes, And?” brought in 77% of the vote, beating out new music by Jennifer Lopez (“Can’t Get Enough”), Lil Nas X (“J Christ”), Kali Uchis (ORQUÍDEAS), 21 Savage (American Dream), and others.

Grande made her return on Friday with the late-’80s-inspired single “Yes, And?” Dripping with confidence, the upbeat song serves as the lead track for the singer’s anticipated seventh album, which she started teasing online in late December.

The single is built upon the cheeky title, as Grande sings of healing and being done with caring for other people’s projections. “Yes, and?” she asks repeatedly, begging listeners to question why they care so much to comment on her life — and, hopefully, reducing such actions in the future.

The “Yes, And?” music video finds Grande wearing a ballet-inspired outfit and character shoes, completing the look with a hat that pays homage to legends like Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul. The Christian Breslauer-directed clip seems to take inspiration from Abdul’s visual for her own “Cold Hearted,” leaning deeper into the ’80s energy of the song itself.

Grande’s last proper release was 2020’s Positions, which debuted at No . 1 the Billboard 200 albums chart. The set spawned a Billboard Hot 100 chart No. 1 single with its title track.

Her return to music comes after a lengthy break during which she openly chose to focus on her R.E.M. Beauty makeup business and her role in the upcoming live action adaptations of the Broadway musical Wicked, in which she’ll play Glinda opposite Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba.

Trailing behind “Yes, And?” on the poll is Lopez’s breezy “Can’t Get Enough,” which brought in 5% of the vote. The summery track was accompanied by a cinematic Dave Meyers-directed wedding-themed video that appears to make winking references to the singer’s love life.

See the final results of this week’s new music release poll below.

The National Hockey League (NHL) and Adidas have collaborated with Justin Bieber‘s fashion brand Drew House on designs for the 2024 NHL All-Star jersey collection.

On Saturday (Jan. 13), the NHL announced that the vibrant new jerseys will be worn by the league’s players during the NHL All-Star Game at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena on Feb. 3. The Toronto Maple Leafs and the city of Toronto will host the 2024 NHL All-Star Weekend from Feb. 1-3.

The 2024 NHL All-Star jersey collection includes four versions of the jersey (one for each All-Star team) in four colors: blue, red, yellow and white. The NHL shield will feature bubble letters and enlarged dimensions, and the crest is one of the largest to be included on a NHL jersey.

NHL, Adidas and Bieber’s Drew House previously collaborated on a reversible alternate jersey for the Maple Leafs.

“After the tremendous success of our first NHL, Adidas and Drew House collaboration for the Maple Leafs’ Next Gen jerseys, we have looked forward to another opportunity to bring a bold, fashion forward look to NHL jerseys,” Brian Jennings, NHL’s chief brand officer and senior executive VP, said in a statement. “The All-Star Weekend in Toronto is the perfect setting for a fresh perspective on the All-Star jersey. The vibrant colors in this year’s All-Star collection are both youthful and classic and offer the perfect complement to the young NHL talent set to meet in Toronto for this year’s NHL All-Star Weekend.”

Nic Corbett, director of sports marketing and hockey at Adidas, added: “Since our inaugural year of collaboration with the NHL, Adidas has not only elevated but redefined the benchmarks for performance, sustainability, storytelling and design inherent in the iconic NHL All-Star jersey. This season, our partnership with the NHL and Drew House presents a distinctive opportunity to transcend conventional uniform design, seamlessly merging the realms of sport and youth culture. The added layer of enthusiasm stems from the fact that this extraordinary event unfolds in a hockey-obsessed market, amplifying the excitement to unprecedented heights.”

The NHL All-Star jerseys are currently available for purchase through adidas.com and nhlshop.com, as well as other online and physical retailers.

Taylor Swift arrived at Arrowhead Stadium, where temps were in the negatives on Saturday (Jan. 13), to cheer on boyfriend Travis Kelce as the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Miami Dolphins. The singer was bundled up for the bitter, below-zero cold in a winter beanie, black boots and a puffy coat that boasted her support for Kelce’s number, 87.

Swift and Chiefs fans alike immediately took note of her unique ’87’ jacket. The coat was designed by Kristin Juszczyk, wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk.

Kristin shared the video below via Instagram soon after Swift was photographed wearing it. On her Stories, she commented on Swift rocking her design, writing: “SHE LOOKS AMAZING!!!”

Swift paired the ’87’ coat with an all-black, casual ensemble, topped off with what appeared to be Louboutin combat boots.

While Swift watched the Wild Card playoff game, the camera captured her chatting with Kelce’s mom, Donna. Swift was seen covering her mouth as they talked — perhaps to prevent any gossip among internet detectives, like those who believed they could lip-read Selena Gomez’s whispered conversation with her at last weekend’s Golden Globes.

See Swift at the game in the clips below.

Movie and Ariana DeBose’s “This Wish” from the animated film Wish.

Harry Styles could have been in Mean Girls. Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr., directors of the movie musical remake of the 2004 comedy, revealed that they had them in mind for one particular role.

Jayne and Perez spoke about the making of the new Mean Girls for an interview published by The Hollywood Reporter Saturday (Jan. 13), a day after the film’s opening. The topic of conversation turned to memorable lines and comedic moments from the original movie.

“There are certain iconic lines where we would joke that there would be riots in the streets if it wasn’t in there. Like ‘You go, Glen Coco!’ Give the people what they want. Give me what I want! But when we were like, ‘Who’s Glen Coco?’” Jayne said.

“Who can it be?” Perez chimed in, then shared: “I remember us going, could we ask, like, Harry Styles?”

“We were like Harry Styles could be Glen Coco!” Jayne confirmed.

But, Jayne continued, “Then we were like, hold on, we love to break the fourth wall: What if we are all Glen Coco? So, after 20 years, we can all feel like Glen Coco.” (In a THR editor’s note, the publication explained that the line is actually delivered straight to the camera/audience.)

The 2024 incarnation of Mean Girls is based on the Broadway musical adaptation of the 2004 Tina Fey-penned film, which starred Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams. The remake features Reneé Rapp as Regina George and Angourie Rice as Cady Heron, while Fey reprises her role as Ms. Norbury and Tim Meadows is back as Mr. Duvall. Plus, Lohan returns for a cameo.

Mean Girls opened in theaters Friday (Jan. 12).

According to a box office report from THR, the Paramount film is on track to win “the box office popularity contest” with an estimated four-day opening of $31.5 million over the long holiday weekend.

Ariana Grande shows off her sweet “Yes, And?” vocals in a new video the singer uploaded from the recording studio.

Grande’s assertive new single, a dance-pop track with a sound that calls back to Madonna’s “Vogue,” arrived Friday (Jan. 12). “Yes, And?” is the first track to be released from her upcoming seventh studio album.

On Saturday, the pop star posted a reel on Instagram that gives fans a look at the “Yes, And?” recording process. In the short video, Grande records a few takes of the chorus, singing: “Say that s— with your chest, and/ Be your own f—kin’ best friend/ Say that sh– with your chest/ Keep moving like, ‘What’s next?’/ ‘Yes, and?’”

In the video, Grandealso gets feedback from producer Max Martin on her vocal performance on the first verse: “In case you haven’t noticed/ Well, everybody’s tired/ And healin’ from somebody/ Or somethin’ we don’t see just right.” she sings.

Kali Uchis opens up about how she hid her pregnancy, new album Orquídeas, creating music in both English and Spanish, explains how the album title relates to her pregnancy and her Colombian heritage, her influenced by both American and Latin artists, working with Karol G, El Alfa and City Girls’ JT and more!

Kali Uchis:
It’s a spiritual language. It’s not about English or Spanish. It’s not about genre. It’s just really about expressing yourself as freely as you can. Hi, my name is Kali Uchis, and this is Billboard News

Lyndsey Havens:
Hey, I’m Lyndsey Havens here for Billboard News. And we’re here with a Grammy Award-winning artist Kali Uchis.

So we have two drops to talk about here and congratulations!

Kali Uchis:
Thank you.

Lyndsey Havens:
So excited for you. How have you been keeping this a secret? What’s been the hardest part of that?

Kali Uchis:
I had to do some shows and I was on a Times list, I had to do a red carpet. That was really hard.

Lyndsey Havens:
And then when the time does come, what are you most excited for about being a mom?

Kali Uchis:
I don’t know. There’s so much to be excited for, honestly. So yeah, it’s hard to say just one thing.

Lyndsey Havens:
You won’t know until it happens.

Kali Uchis:
Yeah, exactly.

Lyndsey Havens:
Your fourth album, Orquídeas, is now out. Congratulations. It’s all about the theme of the orchids that inspired this. How did you sort of land on that? And why was that flower like the proper embodiment?

Kali Uchis:
Yeah, I feel like the flower for me, it always symbolizes timelessness, femininity, luxury, has an eerie mystical quality about it as well. And it’s also the national flower of Colombia. So for me it all tied in, and then I didn’t find out that I was pregnant until later in my rollout, but actually it’s also the flower of fertility. So it actually all came together perfectly.
