The REAL Meaning Behind Rihanna's Super Bowl Look!

You never quite know what half-term will bring do you, but freefalling 100 feet through a trapdoor wasn't exactly on my to-do list.

I have friends who’ve played table-top, role playing, and fantasy game Dungeons and Dragons (DnD), but I haven’t played ever. My friends tell me I’m missing out by not playing, but none of them will explain and teach me how to play, but what I’ve learned is that players can create their own characters and adventures. Whether Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves keeps true to the spirit of the game, I can’t say. However,  as a film, John Francis Daley, Jonathan Goldstein’s execution pays off in a major way. Written by Daley, Goldstein, and Michael Gilio, the movie has an all-star cast including Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Hugh Grant, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, and Daisy Head.

Blonde starring the Oscar-nominated Ana de Armas took the big prize — Worst Picture — as well as Worst Screenplay for writer-director Andrew Dominick among the winners announced for the 43rd annual Razzie Awards.

Having a premiere at SXSW last year turned out to be a charm for directing duo The Daniels, and although awards lightning most likely won’t strike this year for this somewhat niche horror pastiche, hopefully its creators — Australian double-act the Cairnes brothers — will get their own media moment as a result. That Late Night With the Devil is one for the myriad genre festivals that abound internationally is a no-brainer, but the Cairneses deserve a bit more consideration than that for their film’s wry engagement with U.S. history and pop culture, despite shooting their New York-set film entirely in Melbourne.

EXCLUSIVE: If some of film executives have looked a bit distracted at the agency Oscar parties tonight, it’s because they were waging a rather breathtaking auction for I Am Not Alone, a 22-page short story that is an ideal template for a major genre film. The dust is just settling, but I am hearing that Netflix is closing up a high-six figure deal for an outright buy of the story, with mid-seven figures pledged to Lovecraft Country’s Misha Green to write the script and direct as a star vehicle for Oscar winner Jessica Chastain.

Julia MacCary editor The Razzies acknowledged the elephant in the room at the 2023 awards – the organization gave itself a dishonor after nominating a 12-year-old for worst actress, sparking internet controversy. Ahead of Sunday’s Academy Awards celebrating the year’s greatest achievements in film, the 43rd annual Razzies celebrated the “worst” actors and movies. This year’s Razzie nominations were mired in controversy about the award body nominating 12-year-old actor Ryan Kiera Armstrong from “Firestarter” in January. After the internet erupted, the Razzies apologized, removed Armstrong from the ballot and introduced an age limit of 18 for future nominations. The Razzies put itself on the ballot, replacing Armstrong, and won in a landslide. In the awards video, “Razz Berry” said “Until our next mistake, cheers!,” accepting the dishonor.

The Hollywood Reporter claims that Jenna Ortega is close to being cast in the sequel.Fans know Ortega as the newest scream queen in Hollywood. She’s starred on shows like You and even stars in the titular role on Netflix’s Wednesday. In addition, she’s also horrified fans in two Scream franchise movies.

Selome Hailu It seems Beyoncé has had an unsettling watchlist as of late. “Swarm,” the Amazon Prime Video series created by Donald Glover and Janine Nabers had its world premiere at South by Southwest on Friday, and the Houston legend’s name was treated like a secret all night. The series follows Dre (Dominique Fishback), a young woman who goes to obsessive lengths to defend a pop star whom she idolizes: Ni’Jah, an extremely un-subtle spoof of Beyoncé. At the post-screening Q&A session moderated by Vulture’s Sam Sanders, Nabers referred to “a certain pop star” who was cheated on by her husband and surprise-released an album about it in 2016 (Beyoncé’s “Lemonade”). When asked whether that “pop star who shall not be named” had seen “Swarm” yet, Nabers hesitated, before responding, “Of course.” Sanders then asked whether Nabers could share any more about that, to which she said, “I mean, no.” The audience roared in laughter.

RXKNephew (fka RXK Nephew) is known for his ultra-prolific output as much as he is for the eccentric, free-flowing bars that have endeared him to so many new fans over the past two years. Nevertheless, he’s calling his new project — dropped today with very little warning — his debut album.

Priyanka Chopra is pretty in pink during a special appearance at the 2023 SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, on Friday (March 10).

Cynthia Littleton Business Editor AUSTIN, Texas — Patton Oswalt, Phoebe Robinson, Eric Andre, Chelsea Handler and others were in fine form on Friday night as Variety helped kick off the 2023 SXSW festival and conference with its Power of Comedy event. The kudos pay tribute to innovators in the business of being funny. Presenters and honorees who gathered at the Creek and the Cave nightclub in downtown Austin made mention of comedians facing a fraught moment as social norms and cultural attitudes are changing. Mike Lawrence, who hosted the second half of the night, noted that he had to show more identification when registering to get his SXSW conference badge than he would have to buy a gun.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Introducing “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” the lavish hyperkinetic popcorn fairy tale that kicked off SXSW this evening, the film’s co-directors, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, told the audience that they had designed the movie to appeal to hardcore D&D players — and also to those who know absolutely nothing about the game. This came as a relief to me, since what I know about Dungeons & Dragons you could put on the head of a…well, I know so little that I can’t even come up with a proper D&D reference with which to spin that cliché. The filmmakers were being honest. “Honor Among Thieves” is built on the edifice of D&D lore, packed with totems and characters and Easter eggs that fans of the legendary role-playing game will drink in with a connoisseur’s delight. But for those, like me, who have spent their lives avoiding anything to do with Dungeons & Dragons, the film is eminently comprehensible and, in its you’ve-seen-it-before-but-not-quite-this-way fashion, a lot of fun.

Scream 6 is the latest in the franchise, and fans rolled out to the theaters to find out who lives, who dies, and who is behind the Ghostface mask. This time around the franchise left Woodsboro, much like in Scream 2 and 3. The New York City setting was the perfect backdrop for the film as the busy streets, close-knit apartments, and subways add to the spooky setting.

Rihanna‘s performance at the Super Bowl halftime show featured a subtle tribute to André Leon Talley, the late editor-at-large of Vogue.The pop star made her highly-anticipated live return at this year’s NFL final, which took place at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona last Sunday (February 12).She delivered a career-spanning 13-minute set, including hits such as ‘We Found Love’, ‘Only Girl (In The World)’ and ‘Rude Boy’. The show saw Rihanna perform on a red stage and hover above the field on a moving platform.As Billboard reports, the singer sported a bright red sleeping bag coat by Alaïa for the final two tracks (2007’s ‘Umbrella’ and 2012’s ‘Diamonds’).

Pregnant Rihanna appeared to give a nod to one of fashion's greats during her thrilling Super Bowl halftime show performance.The Umbrella singer, 34 - who revealed she is expecting her second child after surprising fans with a baby bump as she hit the stage - wore a red coat resembling the late André Leon Talley's iconic Norma Kamali blanket coat.As she began levitating on a clear platform at one point during her show, Rihanna switched out of her short Alaïa coat for a longer puffer jacket by the brand.  And though her coat wasn't the same one worn by Talley, many fans took it as a tribute to the fashion journalist, with Talley's official Instagram account acknowledging the homage as well. 'When the sun shines, we'll shine together. Told you I'll be here forever… said I'll always be your friend,' the account posted, along with a photo of Talley in the jacket, followed by the singer during the show.
