The streaming service previously shared a teaser for the film, but the new trailer offers a deeper look at the David Fincher-directed follow-up, which takes place in 1977, eight years after the history-altering Hollywood.

The state of California, the city of Nashville, and other places across the U.S. have declared September 25 as “Dolly Parton Day.” Governor Gavin Newsom officially signed off on state bill SB 931 on Sunday, which recognizes September 25 — or 9/25, a nod to Parton’s hit “9 to 5” — as a day to celebrate the late country legend in the Golden State. “Dolly Parton sparkled on every stage she ever stood on, but her brightest sparkle was the literacy legacy she built through the Imagination Library,” State Senator Shannon Grove (R) — who co-authored the bipartisan bill with…

When Cassie Ventura filed her 2023 lawsuit accusing Sean Combs of sex trafficking and assault, Rolling Stone’s senior entertainment investigative reporter Cheyenne Roundtree began tracing the music mogul’s rise to power and allegations that had long circulated only in whispered warnings. Her reporting appeared in Rolling Stone’s May 2024 feature Bad Boy for Life: Sean Combs’ History of Violence, and in the HBO documentary The Fall of Diddy, for which she received a consulting producer credit. She later covered Combs’s criminal trial and partial conviction from start to finish. Now, in her debut book, Bad Boy for Life: The Rise…

Susanna Hoffs has a list. When she was a teenager growing up in L.A., she began keeping her list in a leather-bound notebook. That’s where she started writing down the names of everyone she’s ever dated. She began when she was just an arty high-school kid in the 1970s, learning to play guitar by strumming along with her mom’s Beatles records.  But her list kept growing in the Eighties, when Hoffs suddenly blew up into a wildly famous rock star. With her band, the Bangles, she sang one massive hit after another, from “Manic Monday” to “Walk Like an Egyptian”…

The road to a broad Democratic majority doesn’t run through Berkley or Brooklyn. It runs straight through the middle of America and the middle of our politics. While Democratic Socialists have sucked up the oxygen this cycle with primary wins in deep-blue cities, the real stars of the 2026 election are flying below the radar and reaching out beyond the base to bring new seats into the Democratic column. If you take a closer look, you’ll see a consistent story. These purple state warriors are a mix of military veterans and pastors, former Republicans and red state independent candidates —…

Troye Sivan’s 2023 electro-pop opus, Something to Give Each Other, landed the Australian star three Grammy nominations and launched him into an intense, electrifying couple of years in the spotlight. He wrapped a major headlining tour that took him from Portugal to Sydney, he sold out massive arenas alongside number-one party girl Charli XCX, and he refined his acting chops on HBO’s The Idol. But doing it all took a toll. “My last album was this hypersexual, super-connected album that I wrote when I was feeling very much like a citizen of the world,” Sivan says. “At some point along…

It also features narration…

W hen Wyatt went to Mexico in 2018, he was in search of a miracle. Thirty-five years old, married with two kids, he worked at his grandfather’s business in Pittsburgh selling heating equipment. But secretly, he was battling a gnarly, decades-long drug addiction — doing heroin, crack, and coke. “I was very scared, very desperate, hopeless, and had a full-volume suicide tape on repeat in my head that had me convinced my family would be better off without me.” Wyatt checked himself into the Ambio Life Sciences treatment center in Baja California, Mexico, as a last resort, paying more than…
