Madonna and Charli XCX are heading to “Danceteria Afterhours” on their first collaborative track, the latest in a string of addenda to the queen of pop’s Confessions II. The rework of that album’s “Danceteria” is co-produced by Andrew Watt, Cirkut, Stuart Price, and Madonna herself. Check it out below.
“Danceteria Afterhours,” dropping just days before Madonna’s return to the VMAs, is her second union in as many months, after she enlisted Kylie Minogue for August’s “Love Sensation (Afterhours Mix).” The collaboration follows an apparent side-eye from Madge to Charli, when she wrote on social media in May, “If your Dance floor feels dead, maybe you’re playing the wrong music.” On her Music, Fashion, Film single “Rock Music,” Charli XCX sings the much-quoted line, “I think the dancefloor is dead/So now we’re making rock music.”

Meghann Fahy from The White Lotus has bagged a role as a spy in an upcoming thriller TV show. This comes following her Sirens fame, the Netflix dark comedy limited series in which she gave a mind-blowing performance as Devon DeWitt. Her remarkable rendition even helped propel her post-The White Lotus fame.
As reported by Deadline, Fahy has been cast in Smokeshow, a new limited series based on the upcoming novel by Catriona Stewart. “Part thriller, part dark romantic comedy, Smokeshow centers on a covert operative, Rory, who becomes entangled with her target, the charming and devastatingly earnest Nolan. Rory must then choose between the life she’s known and the chance to break free,” per the outlet.
After a highly competitive bidding war, the project has landed with SK Global and David E. Kelley Productions. It is set to hit the market in the coming weeks.
Besides this, Fahy’s upcoming slate also includes the Peacock series The Good Daughter, in which she stars opposite Rose Byrne, as well as Amazon MGM’s rom-com You Deserve Each Other. Fahy leads the latter with Penn Badgley.
Stewart, a communications strategist based in San Francisco who has spent over a decade advising key figures in California politics, will mark her U.S. publishing debut when Random House releases the novel next summer.
Kirstie Swain is set to adapt the novel for television. Fahy will produce alongside David E. Kelley, Matthew Tinker and Shelby Leshine for David E. Kelley Productions, while Swain executive produces. SK Global’s Head of Television, Chloe Dan, and Trish Esselen are overseeing the project for the studio.
Since the series has just been announced, further details about the full supporting cast have not yet been released. Only Fahy’s role as covert operative Rory is known thus far.
The project also doesn’t have an official final release date yet.
Troye Sivan has dropped his new She’s the Best single, “Party.” Built around a prominent sample of Madonna’s Y2K single “Music,” the track comes with a risqué, baroque video directed by Gordon von Steiner. Sivan plays a Medieval knight in the clip, which also features a voiceover courtesy of Sir Ian McKellen. That’s right: Gandalf himself narrates the new Troye Sivan video. See for yourself below.
“Dance music sounds very different on a dance floor than it does coming out of your laptop speaker,” Sivan said of “Party” in press materials. “The repetition becomes almost hypnotic, and I wanted to play with structure in that way.”
Sivan’s follow-up to 2023’s Something to Give Each Other, She’s the Best, lands October 9. He announced the album last month alongside its title track. That song also boasted an A-lister in its music video: fellow Aussie and Boy Erased co-star Nicole Kidman.

Charlie Hunnam‘s Sons of Anarchy spin-off was nearly a movie before becoming a TV series. Hunnam created and wrote the project after wanting to reunite with his former co-stars. The FX series will see the actors play fictionalized versions of themselves as they face a dangerous situation after reuniting at a fan convention.
Legends brings Hunnam back alongside Ron Perlman, Katey Sagal, Maggie Siff, Mark Boone Junior, Tommy Flanagan, Kim Coates, and Theo Rossi. The series takes place more than a decade after Sons of Anarchy ended. Hunnam also clarified to The Hollywood Reporter that Legends is “definitely not season 8 of Sons of Anarchy.”
Charlie Hunnam explains what came after bringing Legends to life
The idea for Legends came from Hunnam’s desire to work with his former Sons of Anarchy castmates again. He previously told The Hollywood Reporter that the concept was inspired by several dreams about the group being together again. That eventually led him to write a story that could bring them back to the screen.
The project initially existed as a film idea. Hunnam had written a screenplay before deciding to rework the concept as a television series. In an interview with E! News, he said, “I had written a spec film that I repurposed that idea basically into this.”
Hunnam added, “But really, the desire to get that group of people that I love, and this moment in time, that was really important to us, and be able to go and play with that crew again. But it’s very exciting.” He revealed that he has been writing since 2005, but he has struggled to bring his projects to life.
Hunnam recalled building “traction” and “momentum” on projects before taking on two acting jobs back-to-back. By the time he returned to his writing, he said, “nine months later, we’d lost all of the inertia.”
The actor remained determined to keep Legends moving forward. He continued working on the project until it became a reality. He said, “So, this was something that I just really—I stayed on it and stayed on it and stayed on it. It’s very exciting to get the crew back together.”
The original film concept has now evolved into a TV series. Legends will reunite the Sons of Anarchy cast through an unconventional meta story.

Note: This article contains descriptions of alleged sexual assault.
N.O.R.E. is facing allegations of sexual assault from a former music executive, who claims the Queens rapper and podcast host forcibly digitally penetrated her in a Manhattan nightclub in 1999.
At the time, Carmen Bryan, who was working as the finance officer of Def Jam affiliate Rush Management, ran into N.O.R.E., born Victor James Santiago Jr., during an event promoting his second album, Melvin Flynt – Da Hustler. Bryan says Santiago forced himself onto her in front of her friends and other club patrons, according to a lawsuit obtained by Pitchfork. Despite her pleas to stop, the assault only ended when bystanders “shouted” and “physically pulled him away.”
Crying uncontrollably, Bryan fled the club, but, per the suit, Santiago proceeded to follow her, making sexually explicit comments and demanding, “Don’t you know who I am?” It was only in the illumination of streetlights that Santiago recognized Bryan as the partner of rapper Nas. “Carm, I didn’t know it was you,” he allegedly said. “You’re always doing something different with your hair.”
In March, Bryan sent a pre-suit settlement to Santiago, hoping to resolve the issue while informing him that his “unlawful conduct” constituted “forcible touching, assault, disorderly conduct, sexual misconduct, and a violation of her civil rights.” Santiago reportedly claimed that he did not know Bryan.
“No woman signs up to be assaulted,” Heather Palmore, Bryan’s attorney, wrote in a statement to Pitchfork. “The assertion that an assault is excusable—or simply did not happen—because a perpetrator failed to recognize his victim strips women of their fundamental humanity. Ms. Bryan is coming forward not only to demand accountability for the lasting trauma and public humiliation inflicted upon her, but to challenge the culture of entitlement that treats women’s bodies as collateral damage.”
Pitchfork has reached out to N.O.R.E.’s lawyer for comment.
