Dominic Fike Reveals New Album Title In Teaser Clip

by

Dominic Fike is a multi-talented artist, known for both acting and music. He has established himself as a successful recording artist with a substantial following of around half a million subscribers on YouTube. Additionally, Fike has gained recognition for his role in the popular TV show Euphoria, where he joined the cast in Season 2. While some viewers may not resonate with his character’s motivations, they generally seem to appreciate Fike’s talent and presence. Given his diverse accomplishments, it’s evident that the artist has much to celebrate and be proud of. Since his turn in Euphoria, the singer seems to have been focusing more intently on his music.

Interestingly enough, many fans of Euphoria complained about the singer’s extremely long performance in one of the episodes. However, that doesn’t seem to have hurt his music career at all. Unsurprisingly, fans have eagerly anticipated new music from Dominic Fike. With his current success and momentum, it would be the perfect time to release new material. In the fast-paced music industry, fans can quickly move on if artists don’t seize the opportunity. However, it seems that Fike was very much aware of this fact, as he released a new single last month.

Dominic Fike’s Foray Into Hip-Hop

Recently, Dominic Fike unveiled a fresh track titled “Dancing In The Courthouse.” The song serves as a triumphant anthem that incorporates elements of rap. However, he doesn’t stop there. Today, he teased his fans with a clip from his newly announced album, Sunburn. In it, he fully immerses himself in the realm of hip-hop, as an unreleased track plays in the background. With an intense minute-long flow, he echoes in a deadpan reminiscent of Mac Miller, “When I die, baby / Lay me in the sun.”

In November of last year, while performing in Seattle, Fike discussed the upcoming album. “It’s obviously been a while since I’ve toured. It’s been a while since I’ve released music,” he said. “I don’t stop working. I don’t go out or anything, so the only thing I do is make music, so I have like four albums. … I have this new album that comes out really soon. It’s really good. It’s very honest. I think the world is missing honesty.”

Not Even Labrinth, ‘Euphoria’s’ Music Composer, Knows What’s In Store For Season 3

Last month, Labrinth released his third studio album, Ends & Begins, which features the Euphoria fan-favorite, “Never Felt So Alone,” along with a collaboration with Zendaya, called “The Feels.” In the weeks prior, he performed electrifying Coachella sets, in which, Zendaya and Billie Eilish made surprise appearances. All of these moments have fans waiting on pins and needles for an update on the third season of Euphoria.

However, in a recent interview with Variety, Labrinth, who composes music for the show, says even he is in the dark about what’s to come of the show’s upcoming season.

“I don’t even know if they’re writing it yet,” said Labrinth. “There’s a whole writers strike, so. But hopefully, they get it together and it’s a vibe. I think me and Sam [Levinson] are supposed to talk at some point, but I’m excited. I think all of the guys that are working on the show are excited to get back into it when it’s coming around. It’s intense when it comes around, though. Once it comes around, you’re like, whew.”

There are rumors that the season is set to premiere in early 2024, and will contain a five-year time jump, however, given the ongoing WGA writers strike, who knows when we’ll actually find out?

The bar was set high for Coachella’s second weekend, even though Frank Ocean announced he would be dropping out. Weekend one was filled with notable guest appearances, song debuts, and more. In his closing set, singer and songwriter Labrinth was sure to fire off on all cylinders. After bringing out Billie Eilish for an exceptional performance of their song, “Never Felt So Alone,” last Saturday, April 15, fans were curious how he would one-up himself.

On Saturday, April 22, Labrinth was joined onstage by Zendaya for a surprise Euphoria-centered musical performance. After singing songs “I’m Tired” and “All for Us,” fans of the show were giddy to see the two coming together for this monumental moment to close out his Coachella 2023 appearance.

While Zendaya has become one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood, at one point in her career she was avidly pursuing music, leading to the actress and Labrinth’s initial pairing. Labrinth composed the series’ score and, along with the series creator Sam Levinson, co-wrote both “I’m Tired” and “Elliott’s Song.” Eventually, Zendaya walked away from music due to the “difficulties” she faced behind the scenes.

Zendaya took a moment during her set to thank Labrinth for providing her with the opportunity to perform at the festival, saying, “I cannot express my gratitude enough for this magical night. Thank you to my brother [Labrinth] for inviting me and giving me the most beautiful safe space to be on a stage again…wow…my heart is so full; I can’t thank you enough for the love I received tonight, made all my nerves melt away.”

Angus Cloud’s Ex-Manager Details Actor’s Alleged Substance Abuse Struggles

by

Angus Cloud’s former talent manager, Diomi Cordero, detailed the tumultuous end of his professional relationship with the actor during a lengthy rant on Twitter, Friday. In the posts, Cordero revealed that he met the Euphoria star while working the “graveyard shift” as a “mental health technician” at a rehab clinic.

While developing their relationship, Cordeo says he helped Cloud “regain control of his personal and professional life.” However, there were apparently many friends in Cloud’s life who were a bad influence on his sobriety. “Their reckless behavior and lack of regard for Angus’ recovery served as a significant obstacle to his progress ultimately contributing to his relapse,” he wrote.

After Cloud began abusing substances again, Cordeo says that Euphoria creator Sam Levinson pleaded with the actor to “fight for his life.” Eventually, Cordero says that Cloud’s behavior towards him “became extremely abusive,” adding that he “had gone to the extent of degrading me publicly in front of his friends & even my colleagues.” Cordero says that he made the decision to resign after Cloud was invited to attend a Versace fashion show in Europe. Just days before the trip, Cloud contacted Cordero to inform him that he’d prefer if only his friends joined him abroad.

“As a result of my resignation, for over a year, I have been pursuing the collection of my outstanding management commissions from Angus, totaling over $60,000.00,” he concluded. “Despite repeated attempts to resolve this matter amicably, I have yet to receive any of the payments owed to me. In sharing my story, I hope to not only find solace & healing but to also inspire others who may be struggling to find their voice in an industry where most are silenced. I wanted to be a testament to the power of speaking up and owning one’s truth, even in the face of adversity.”

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.

Zendaya Re-Negotiates Her Deal

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

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.
