SZA has teamed up with Jean Dawson on a new track called ‘No Szns’ – you can listen to it below.The song, co-written by SZA and Dawson, is a stripped-back, reflective collaboration featuring dreamy electric guitar and lyrics about the various feelings that come about throughout the year.“In the spring, you can’t hear a thing all the birds and bees/Nobody thinks/ In the summertime people off the brink/ In California, we ain’t got no seasons, it’s all the same to me,” the pair sing in the chorus.In SZA’s verse, the ‘SOS’ star looks back on “cryin’ in the summertime” and how her “anxious thoughts” can be triggered when she thinks of a certain person.‘No Szns’ arrives with an accompanying official video, which was directed by Dawson and Bradley J. Calder.

Liam Neeson’s ‘Retribution’ is being called the “worst film of the year”

Liam Neeson’s new action thriller Retribution has been described as in the running for “worst film of the year” by critics.Directed by Nimród Antal (Predators), the film follows financier Matt Turner (Neeson) who is threatened by a mysterious bomber while driving his son and daughter to school. Other cast members include Noma Dumezweni, Lilly Aspell and Jack Champion.It’s the third remake of the 2015 Spanish film The Stranger, following German and Korean adaptations in 2018 and 2021 respectively.Retribution, which was released in the US on August 25, received a negative review on Rolling Stone, who described it as a “formula beaten into submission”.“Retribution is not the worst of his thrillers/action movies – that honour belongs to either last year’s god-awful Blacklight or this freezer-burned turkey – but it does suggest that Neeson may want to consider retiring from the everyman action-hero beat for good,” the review reads.

Jimmy Fallon’s apology for toxic workplace allegations slammed: ‘Sounds like it was spoken by a toddler’

groveling apology to his “Tonight Show” staffers after reports surfaced of his toxic workplace behavior — but fans aren’t buying it.One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, pointed to a line the 48-year-old TV host allegedly said during the all-hands meeting: “It’s embarrassing and I feel so bad.”The commenter said the “apology sounds like it was spoken by a toddler.”“Why didn’t and couldn’t he apologize in person? I find the Zoom apology insulting,” another shared, while others chimed in that Fallon only said he was sorry “cause he got called out.”Fallon likely conducted his apology virtually, however, because of the ongoing Hollywood strike, which has shut down production for a slew of highly-anticipated movies and TV shows, including late-night talk shows.“Oh, f–k off. Fallon’s ‘apology’ is about how he was inconvenienced by the Rolling Stone article exposing him as a raging a–hole and nothing about apologizing to staff or saying how he will change,” another scathing comment said.Another user likened the saga to Ellen DeGeneres, who had her “Ellen Show” canceled in 2022 after a 19-year run following a flurry of toxic workplace allegations against the seemingly family-friendly talk show host.“The Jimmy Fallon saga is following EXACTLY the same footsteps that Ellen DeGeneres tread … accusations.

Jerry Seinfeld calls out Rolling Stone over Jimmy Fallon takedown: ‘Idiotic twisting of events’

published a story Thursday in which two current and 14 former “Tonight Show” staffers accuse the host of fostering a “toxic workplace.” Seinfeld took specific issue with two employees’ recounting of an “uncomfortable” incident during which Fallon, 48, allegedly publicly “scolded” a crew member who flubbed a simple task while taping a segment with the legendary sitcom star.The anonymous whistleblowers claimed Seinfeld, 69, ordered Fallon to apologize to the worker — and that Fallon supposedly complied.“It was very awkward, and Jerry [Seinfeld] was like, ‘You should apologize to him,’ almost trying to make it a joke,” one of the employees told a reporter. “It was one of the strangest moments ever and so many people were there, so it’s kind of hard to forget.”Rolling Stone claimed Seinfeld’s reps did not respond to multiple requests for comment, but once the story was published, Seinfeld sent them the following statement: “This is so stupid.
