Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump is getting young Marvel fans in the holiday spirit with the festive new Spidey and His Amazing Friends song “Merry Spidey Christmas.”
Stump, the Grammy-nominated lead singer of Fall Out Boy, is also a songwriter on the Disney Junior series and performs the theme song.
The new Christmas episode — which premiered Friday (Nov. 11) on Disney Channel — follows Team Spidey (Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales) as they aim to save the spirit of Christmas. Viewers can stream the episode on Disney + starting Nov. 30 as well.
Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends is the first episodic show Marvel has created for preschoolers. The show, now in its second season, also includes other characters from the Avengers, such as Iron Man, Ant-Man, Wasp and Reptil, the Hulk, Ms. Marvel and Black Panther.
Through his work with Fall Out Boy, Stump has scored four top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: “Sugar We’re Goin’ Down” (No. 8 in 2005), “Dance, Dance” (No. 9 in 2006), “This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race” (No. 2 in 2007) and “Centuries” (No. 10 in 2015).

Since retiring from boxing with a 50-0 record in 2017, Mayweather has participated in multiple exhibition bouts.
When it comes to reach, height, and weight, the 45-year-old boxing champion is pretty evenly matched against 25-year-old Olatunju, who hails from London. Despite Mayweather’s extensive boxing career and perfect record, Olatunju isn’t feeling any “pressure,” his coach, Daley Peralis, said in an interview according to the U.K. Mirror.
Elsewhere on the fight card, Tommy Fury and Paul Bamba will go head-to-head in a co-main event. According to Fite TV, the fight card will include Delfine Persoon vs. Ikram Kerwat, Bobby Fish vs. Boateng Agyemang Prempeh, Jack Fincham vs. Anthony Taylor, Harley Benn vs. Faizan Anwar, Jadier Herrera vs. Franklin Manzanilla, and J’Hon Ingram vs. Koji Tanaka.

The public funeral for beloved Migos member Takeoff took place Friday (Nov. 11) at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, near where the late rapper grew up.
Free tickets to the memorial service were available to Georgia residents, but the State Farm Arena said well before Friday that the event had reached capacity. Alongside fans who made it inside the venue, stars including Offset, Cardi B, Drake, City Girls, Chloe Bailey, Justin Bieber and more gathered to remember the life of a star gone too soon.
During the event, Atlanta mayor Andre Dickens honored Takeoff’s family with the city’s highest honor, the Phoenix Award. Drake spoke onstage remembering his late friend, while Chloe Bailey, Bieber and Byron Cage performed at the touching memorial event.
Takeoff (born Kirshnik Khari Ball) was just 28 years old when he was shot and killed Nov. 1 during a private party at a bowling alley in downtown Houston with Quavo. The musician was killed by “penetrating gunshot wounds of head and torso into arm,” according to a report from the Harris County coroner’s office. A woman and another man were also wounded in the shooting. No arrests have been made.
Migos’ song streams surged 182.2% in the seven days following his death, while his solo material grew 434.9% in the same period, according to initial reports to Luminate.
