Zendaya Reportedly Set to Earn $1M for Each Episode of 'Euphoria' Season 3

Euphoria may not be back this year, but when it does, the Brinks truck will back up to Zendaya’s house for every episode. A new report reveals Zendaya will bring in $1 million per episode of the show. This comes after Zendaya is a two-time winner for the Outstanding Lead Actress Emmy as her role as Rue Bennett.

According to GQ, Zendaya was an executive producer on the show for the second season and became the youngest person ever to be nominated for a production Emmy at 25.

Over the weekend, Zendaya appeared at the NAACP Image Awards, where she had the below moment of “servin’.”

Zendaya Earns Big Payday With “Euphoria” Contract Re-Negotiation

by

Last February, the HBO teen drama Euphoria starring Zendaya ended its second season. Being one of the most beloved and popular television shows around right now, fans could not wait until season 3’s arrival. However, shortly after season 2 closed, it was confirmed that season 3 would not release until 2024. To many fans’ dismay, the wait would likely be at least two years until we saw the troubled teens again. Since then, a few of the Euphoria star actors have attracted some controversial headlines. In July 2022, Euphoria‘s Sydney Sweeney revealed that her income did not allow her to take a prolonged break from acting. Then in August, Barbie Ferreira, who plays Kat in the series, announced she would not return to the cast for season 3.

After a few drama-less months, February saw a few more Euphoria actors get in trouble with the law. At the start of the month, Chloe Cherry was accused of shoplifting a blouse. Then, one of the show’s primary actors got into a sticky situation. On Feb. 20, Angus Cloud, who plays Fez in Euphoria, was accused of doing a hit-and-run with his car in LA. Although he was not an official suspect, police were hoping to track him down to speak with him. With all this turmoil going on with her cast mates, though, lead actress Zendaya received some good news this week.

On Monday (Feb. 27), Puck‘s Matthew Belloni reported that Zendaya restructured her contract with the show. For her role as Rue in Euphoria, Zendaya would reportedly receive a huge pay-raise from HBO. Belloni reportedly said that she would be earning practically $1 million per episode from here on out. “I’m told Zendaya just closed a big re-negotiation on HBO’s Euphoria that likely puts her close to that club,” Belloni said.

There are only a few actors who earn this much per episode. These include Kevin Costner for the show Yellowstone and John Krasinski for Amazon Prime’s Jack Ryan, supposedly. This pay raise surely puts Zendaya in an upper echelon of television series actors, and deservedly so. Euphoria‘s season 3 is reportedly set to begin filming in 2023. So, Zendaya will soon bring more of her patented star power to HBO in the near future.

Angus Cloud From “Euphoria” Allegedly Involved In Hit-And-Run

by

Fans know Angus Cloud best from his role as Fezco on Euphoria. However, he is now on the radar of the California Highway Patrol. The actor allegedly participated in a hit-and-run. Police officers are looking to speak with Cloud regarding the incident from Tuesday. A witness told TMZ that it occurred in Marina del Rey. According to them, Cloud and another male were driving in the area in an SUV. Said SUV rear-ended a white Toyota RAV-4, then took off to a nearby parking lot.

At least one person involved in Cloud’s alleged hit-and-run suffered injuries due to the accident. Through photos and statements provided, it is easy to see that a female who was riding in the Toyota had injuries from the impact of the accident. The injuries extend to her arms and legs. Pictures of her arms show bruising and redness on her skin. According to the report, the same types of markings are on the woman’s legs, as well. Also according to TMZ, there was more than one person in the Toyota. However, they did not report the genders, numbers, and injuries of other passengers involved.

The report states the witness knew the people who were in the Toyota. Apparently, once the chaos from the accident settled down, said witness went to look for Cloud and the SUV. The witness went to the parking lot where Cloud and the other person in the car had driven. However, upon further inspection of the area, the Euphoria star and his friend were nowhere to be seen or found. This is shocking, especially because a hit-and-run can be charged as a felony in the state of California. However, if the hit-and-run is charged as a misdemeanor, Cloud can still be charged with a possible sentence of up to six months in jail. He could also face a fine of up to $1,000.00.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that, while Cloud is not an official suspect in the case, police officials have mentioned the Euphoria star for possible involvement. Rightfully so, cops want to speak to him to determine if he was involved or even responsible for the car accident. If he was, the issue will be dealt with accordingly in a legal matter. Cloud’s team has yet to make a statement on the allegations and evidence of the hit-and-run.

“Euphoria” Star Chloe Cherry Accused Of Stealing $28 Blouse

by

She starred in one of HBO’s most successful shows, but that didn’t keep Chloe Cherry out of trouble with the law. The mania surrounding Euphoria thrust its stars into the spotlight, and Cherry found a new level of fame. The former adult entertainment actress was featured in over 200 pornographic films throughout her career, but she set her sights on the mainstream side of Hollywood.

According to Lancaster Online, Cherry was visiting her hometown in Pennsylvania when she was arrested. The outlet stated that Cherry was at Jenny & the Clowder, a space located at Building Character downtown. The actress reportedly took a $28 Moda International blouse into a dressing room but left without the shirt.

Cherry was said to have paid for “other items” but was questioned by an employee. The incident was captured on surveillance footage. Cherry allegedly “admitted to taking the blouse and returned it to an officer,” a complaint reads. Building Character owner Marty Hulse spoke with reporters about Cherry’s theft.

“Most times, when we find people who are shoplifting, we don’t find them in the act,” Hulse said. “They’ll take the tag off of it and throw it somewhere. Then we see the tag, and we can find them on the camera and where it came from, and that’s exactly what happened.”

Hulse and general manager Joel Henry claimed they didn’t know Cherry was a Hollywood star until police reached out to her mother. “I know it sounds piddly, but when it comes down to it, we’re all small businesses,” Hulse also stated. “You’re stealing from your neighbors.” However, Cherry’s rep told TMZ that this theft isn’t what it seems. They allege that the actress never admitted to stealing anything.

“In December, there was confusion over a blouse that wasn’t properly charged to my client’s credit card,” they said. “In no way did she ‘admit’ to taking the blouse, since that was not the case. This story seems to be more about a local store trading on a celebrity’s name more than anything else.”

Reports added that Cherry was allegedly involved in a similar theft in 2015. She is scheduled to face a judge in this case on March 1.

Deadline has confirmed that both hip-hop sensation SZA and Euphoria star Chloe Cherry will be in a film entitled Tuna Melt, alongside Boogie‘s Eddie Huang, who wrote and will direct it. The publication calls it an “off-beat dramedy” that has been “likened to an updated Pulp Fiction meets High Fidelity.”

In the film, Huang plays a hitman enduring a breakup when he “unexpectedly meets the love of his life soon after he completes a job,” with SZA playing the role of the love interest. More details are yet to be revealed.

Meanwhile, fans of SZA are less interested in her acting career and more invested in when her next album is coming out. The long-awaited LP has been delayed, with the president of her label Punch making a statement about it last month. “SZA and myself initially spoke about a summertime album,” he wrote.” Which is why she mentioned summer in a post-Grammys interview. Shortly after discussing everything with RCA and Top, we decided it was best to do it a little bit later to set everything up correctly, giving it its proper space and lead time. There is a lot that goes into putting out a album and especially one with this much anticipation. We thank you for your continued patience and understanding. An announcement will be coming sooner than you think.”

Action Bronson wears many hats — rapper, chef, television personality, and actor. For the lattermost of the four, he’s auditioned and even been offered several roles that may have been different from how we know them had he accepted the offer to play these characters.

Upon the release of his most recent album, Cocodrillo Turbo, Bronson spoke with Complex about his acting prospects, one of which included HBO’s hit teen drama, Euphoria. Bronson auditioned and was even offered a role on the show, however, he ultimately turned it down.

“They wanted me to play a drug dealer that was getting with the high school girls,” Bronson said. “Action Bronson ain’t doing that, bro.”

The role in question mostly matches the description of Fezco, who is played by Angus Cloud.

Additionally, Bronson revealed he auditioned for Uncut Gems, but admitted he didn’t feel confident about his audition.

“They wanted me to be the guy next to the main goon, the Russian,” Bronson said. “But I bombed at the audition, bro.”

Bronson has appeared in films like The King Of Staten Island and The Irishman, however, has not yet played a lead role in any film project. He is, however, accustomed to the cameras by way of his restaurant exploration show, F*ck, That’s Delicious.

In the days leading up to the release of her debut album Trendsetter, rapper Coi Leray took some time to answer questions from fans on Twitter. During her Q&A session, the “Twinnem” rapper revealed she wants to break into the world of acting.

Specifically, she hopes to land a role on a hit HBO series in the near future. When Twitter user @CrealotBSB asked Leray “Would you ever get into acting?” she responded, “Yea I auditioned for Euphoria lol but i didn’t get the role !! But I wanna try again !!!”

Leray didn’t specify which role she auditioned for, however, if she were to book a role in the series’ third season, she would be another musician-turned-actor who landed their first major acting role on Euphoria, along with Dominic Fike.

Earlier in the session, Leray explained the meaning behind her album’s title.

“Trendsetter to me means being true to yourself!,” she said. “Having confidence already sets the trend !!! We alllllll Trendsetters if we put our mind to just being great !!!”

Also last night, Leray’s “Blick Blick” collaborator Nicki Minaj appeared on The Late Late Show‘s Carpool Karaoke segment. Minaj rapped the chorus, “Pop up on an opp and watch it blick blick” with host James Corden and hilariously explained what the word “opp” means.
