While we may not be as notorious as Lady Whistledown (and certainly not as dull as Cressida Cowper!), we’re here to serve you a piping-hot midweek wrap of entertainment news from around the globe. So, grab a steaming cup of your favourite beverage (winter has arrived in South Africa), and let’s dive into the juicy details of what’s been happening.
🔹 Justin Timberlake has gone the way of many a former child star after he was arrested in Sag Harbor in The Hamptons, New York, and charged with driving under the influence on Tuesday morning. To add salt to the proverbial wound (and prove how far JT has fallen), the arresting officer reportedly did not recognise who he was. Timberlake claimed he had just one martini and was following a friend home when he was arrested after not stopping at a stop sign and driving on the wrong side of the road. Timberlake hasn’t been in the public’s good graces in the last few years following revelations from ex-girlfriend Britney Spears and Janet Jackson.
🔹 House of The Dragon is back! The first episode of the second season of the acclaimed Game of Thrones spinoff aired on Father’s Day and is titled A Son for A Son 👀. The episode has been dubbed this season’s Red Wedding. Let’s just say that after this episode, you’ll never view your favourite Targaryen’s on either side the same way again. The Dance of the Dragons begins!
🔹 The second part of season three of Bridgerton has been released, and it’s a tantalising treat. The members of “The Ton” return, and you can expect a whirlwind of weddings, betrayal, and a twist that will leave you on the edge of your seat. We’ve said too much, but it’s worth the wait!
🔹 The Boys is back with its fourth season. If you’ve never watched this Amazon Prime Show, it’s a dark comedy about a world where superheroes aren’t necessarily the good guys. It follows a group of vigilantes fed up with superheroes abusing their powers. In this world, superheroes – or “supes” – are treated like celebrities and work for a big corporation that makes money off them. But here’s the thing: most of these supes are pretty terrible people who only care about themselves. They’re arrogant, selfish, and corrupt (remind you of anyone?). And that’s where the vigilantes come in – they’re determined to take down these superheroes and show them that they’re not above the law.
