In the first Wicked film, fans of the musical got to see Elphaba as a child — and, as revealed in a new teaser, they’ll now get to see little Glinda when Wicked: For Good hits theaters in November.

In a preview shared by Universal Pictures on Wednesday (Oct. 22), an elementary-school-age Glinda appears in a dress in her signature pink shade while telling someone off camera, “I want to be magical — for real.”

The video then shows scenes of adult Glinda — played by Ariana Grande — embracing her new role as Glinda the Good, serving as a spokes-witch of sorts for The Wizard of Oz and his agenda. We see her ceremoniously putting on her tiara and testing out her flying bubble, which we learn is operated by a pedal.

The young actress playing Grande’s mini-me in the second Wicked film is Scarlett Spears, whom the pop star shouted out in a sweet post on Instagram after the casting reveal. “my tiny girl in the bubble, played by the wonderful and talented @miss.scarlett.brielle,” Grande wrote, sharing a black-and-white photo of herself and Spears hugging while decked out in their Glinda gowns.

“thank you for your beautiful work and for allowing the world to understand our Galinda more deeply than ever before,” she added. “i adore you so.”

The additions of little Glinda and little Elphaba — who was played in the first Wicked by Karis Musongole — exemplify the advantages of adapting musicals for the big screen, with director Jon M. Chu getting the chance to add to the beloved characters’ origin stories. The films will also see the additions of two brand new songs — “No Place Like Home” sung by Cynthia Erivo and “The Girl in the Bubble” performed by Grande — composed by Stephen Schwartz, who crafted the music for the Wicked Broadway musical.

Jelly Roll and HEYDUDE are back with a limited-edition Bradley boot. Teaming up for another collab, the shoe features black-suede, a signature branded skull-printed upper, elastic laces and a new “chain-breaking” logo. But just like their prior Wally sneaker release, the new Jelly Roll Bradley boot will most likely sell out fast.

Jelly and HEYDUDE initially teamed up last October to release a limited-edition Wally Slip Canvas, inspired by his most recent album, Beautifully Broken. The collab was an instant hit and sold out in under a minute. Since then, fans have been eagerly waiting for the next release between the two, and it’s finally here. Thankfully, HEYDUDE restocked the collab on their website here, but it sold out again. Act quickly, because this new boot will go fast as well.

Described by HEYDUDE as “even more intricate” than the debut shoe, this time around, the collab includes a new tan colorway alongside the popular monochromatic black suede model. Instead of an ink-inspired design, the latest boot highlights an allover print skull design. The boot also features elastic laces, the brands signature easy-on system, a leather heel and toe tip and a water repellant resistance to protect the suede body. Shop both colorways below.

Gains from self-paying subscribers almost equally offset losses from partnerships as French music streaming company Deezer’s revenue fell 0.9% to 131.4 million euros ($154 million) in the third quarter, the company announced Thursday (Oct. 23). 

“Subscriber growth in France has accelerated for a third consecutive quarter, confirming the positive impact of our differentiation initiatives in our home market,” CEO Alexis Lanternier said in a statement. “In the rest of the world, subscription numbers in the Direct segment are also picking up pace, reflecting the quality of our service and the appeal of our brand as we champion transparency and fairness in music streaming.

Revenue from partnerships fell 12.6% to 35.6 million euros ($42 million) and subscribers from these partnerships dropped 24.5% from the prior-year quarter. Deezer powers music streaming platforms for numerous companies globally and counts these partnership subscribers separately from subscribers who pay directly. The company attributed the loss in its partnerships business to “the residual impact” of a business model shift by Mercado Libre, a Latin America e-commerce company that partnered with Deezer in 2023. A focus on higher average revenue per user (ARPU) also contributed to the decline in partnership subscribers, the company said.

Direct subscribers grew in number to 5.5 million, up nearly 10%, and direct subscription revenue increased 1.6% to 87.9 million euros ($103 million). France accounted for 3.7 million of those direct subscribers, an 11.7% increase from the prior-year period, which the company attributed to “good performance” of family plans. Direct subscribers from the rest of the world rose 6.1% to 1.8 million. 

ARPU from direct subscribers fell nearly 5% to 5.4 euros ($6.31) per month. Partnership ARPU rose 6% to 3.1 euros ($3.62) per month.

Other revenue, which consists of advertising and ancillary revenue, rose 17.4% to 7.9 million euros ($9.2 million). Deezer said the improvement “mainly reflected the performance of the white labelling solutions for hardware / media partners.”

While relatively small compared to the likes of Spotify and Apple Music, Deezer has attempted to separate itself from its competitors by making combating AI music a business priority. In September, the company revealed that it detected the delivery of over 30,000 fully AI-generated tracks each day. That accounts for 28% of all daily track uploads, up from 18% in April and 10% in January. These fully AI-generated tracks are eliminated from Deezer’s algorithmic recommendations and excluded from editorial playlists. 

Looking ahead, Deezer confirmed its full-year guidance in which it expects positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and positive free cash flow for the second consecutive year.
