Take a deep dive into Atlanta’s soundtrack. Light spoilers ahead for the first four episodes of Atlanta.
The first song you hear on Donald Glover’s new FX show Atlanta plays faintly over the speaker of a car that’s about to get vandalized, setting in motion a series of mishaps for the two cousins central to the narrative. It’s the opening scene, and it’s Migos’s “One Time” playing, one of the many deceptively infectious hits from the Atlanta-affiliated trio, until it fades further into the background.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Blue Eye Samurai both won big at the 51st Annie Awards. The sequel to Into the Spider-Verse took seven awards, including Best Feature and Music. Netflix’s Edo-period revenge piece won six, including Best Character Animation TV/Series and Best FX. Nimona went into the night with the most nominations (nine total), but only won two. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 won Best Character Animation — Live Action, because the Annies recognizes that CGI is still animation (which is a conversation those alleged “live-action remakes” aren’t ready for).
This girl is on fire. Alicia Keys will give her regards to Broadway. The singer’s musical Hell’s Kitchen will transfer this spring from the Public Theater to the Shubert Theatre. “What does it mean to have your dreams realized as the show moves to Broadway and be a part of this season and community?” Keys said in a voice note shared with Vulture. “Honestly, I just can’t believe it.

Just as we were ready to slam the door on 2020, the Michalka sisters sneaked in with a parting gift 14 years in the making: the chance to hear them drop an official f-bomb (and one shit) in their 2006 pop-bop “Potential Breakup Song.” At long last, Aly & AJ — that’s Alyson and Amanda, if your Disney-alum trivia is rusty — validated the lyrics most fans have been singing since they were tweens.
American Hustle opens with a wry disclaimer: “Some of this actually happened.” Though its foundation is torn straight from newspaper headlines recounting the FBI’s Abscam sting operations from the late seventies, the movie focuses on a historical event that most people under the age of 30 are unlikely to have ever heard of. And because American Hustle spins its elaborate web of con men, government agents, and shady politicians at a purposely frantic pace, the movie stands to leave less informed audiences wondering what exactly is making the characters lose their minds.
It’s really not fair of Valentine’s Day to come smack-dab in the middle of awards season. To have to break up your social-media campaign for Best ____ with a post about your partner? Yawn.
But seriously, folks. Famous love was in the air this Valentine’s Day/Ash Wednesday supercombo. Obviously, Mark Wahlberg posted about both holidays. But mostly, Wednesday was more for celebrating one’s partner (and occasionally brand partnerships).
Bow to the butt. Kim Kardashian birthed a saint mere weeks ago and already she’s back to business, launching her first line of emoji appropriately called Kimoji on Monday. But of course, Silicon Valley’s new BFF didn’t make just any emoji. They include everything in the Kim K canon: her famous backside, her ugly-cry, her contour, a waist trainer, selfies, and a few other seemingly unrelated things. (A wave?
Ashton Kutcher, Danny Masterson, and Mila Kunis perform onstage at a Church of Scientology event in 2003. Update, September 9, at 4:28 p.m.: On September 9, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis posted an apology video on Instagram in response to their letters of support for That ‘70s Show co-star, Danny Masterson, who was found guilty of two counts of rape and sentenced to prison for 30 years, being shared with the public.
On NBC’s The Good Place, Ted Danson is doing the Devil’s work — or, depending on who you ask, the Lord’s work — as a beleaguered Bad Place architect on the verge of a philosophical awakening. We could honestly talk about his fantastic comedic performance all day. (In fact, we’ve even talked to him a few times about it.) But we’re not here to convert you into a Dansonhead if you aren’t one already.
