In a recent interview with GQ Australia, Suga revealed that he “used to like music too much” and is now trying to change that in order to be able to “carry on for a long time” as a musician.

“I loved it so much that I tried to like it less. I’m still trying to love it less,” Suga told the magazine.

Suga continued by saying that he now only listens to music when he’s making his own.

“I don’t listen to music unless I’m working on my own music. I keep it as far from me as possible. I seek music only when I need it,” he explained while adding that he made this decision five years ago.

Suga is not only deeply involved in the music BTS makes as a songwriter, but he also takes full creative control for his solo projects. So far, he has released two mixtapes, 2016’s August D and 2020’s D-2, and was credited as writer, composer, and producer on almost every track. Suga also worked with numerous other artists and has written and produced songs for Suran, Lee So-ra, and Epik High, among others.

It also landed Bieber eight nominations at the upcoming Grammy Awards.

Less than a month after Justice came out, Bieber also shared an unannounced EP Freedom. The release contained six gospel-inspired songs and it was met with a favorable reception from the critics.

Season five will premiere on February 24 with back-to-back episodes. The remaining eight episodes will air weekly.

“Snowfall is enjoying a justly deserved burst of success with Season 4, and we’re excited to follow it up with another explosive season early next year,” said FX in a statement.

Season four was the network’s most-watched series in 2021. Snowfall was a surprise hit for FX after premiering in 2017.

Created by John Singleton, Eric Amadio, and Dave Andron, the show is set in early 1980s Los Angeles and follows the stories of several characters involved in the city’s crack cocaine epidemic. The majority of the focus, however, is on Franklin Saint (Damson Idris), a 21-year-old man who transitions from a small-time drug dealer to one of the most powerful figures in the crack cocaine game. 

The official synopsis for the fifth season reveals that the story will be set in 1986. Saint is at the height of his power and he and his associates have more money than they can spend. However, the carefree times are soon about to end as the government and the police plot ways to stop the rise of the drug industry.

The teaser opens with a voiceover that warns Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) about the dangers of casting the spell that opened the multiverse and caused the villains from other universes to invade the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“Your desecration of reality will not go unpunished,” says the voice.

The trailer continues with shots of the chaos that is about to ensue before transitioning to Doctor Strange seeking out Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) to help him undo his tampering with the multiverse. We also see the return of Karl Mordo, a former member of Masters of the Mystic Arts, and get introduced to the dark version of Doctor Strange.

Directed by Sam Raimi, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness serves as a sequel to 2016’s Doctor Strange. The movie follows the events that took place in Spider-Man: No Way Home, in which Doctor Strange appears in a prominent role, and the first season of the Disney+ series Loki.

The movie is scheduled to be in theaters on May 6, 2022. Check out the teaser in full below.

The streamer confirmed the news in a press release but the reasons for cancelation remain unknown.

The original Head of the Class ran for five seasons from 1986 to 1991. The sitcom centered around a group of gifted students attending the Individualized Honors Program at Manhattan’s Millard Fillmore High School. The show was followed by a spin-off Billy, which was canceled after season one in 1992.

The reboot, developed by Amy Pocha and Seth Cohen (Paradise PD), was officially announced in 2020. The new sitcom revolved around a new group of students attending the honors debate class at Meadows Creek High School and their teacher Alicia Gomez. It starred Isabella Gomez as the teacher with the remainder of the cast including Dior Goodjohn, Gavin Lewis, and Jolie Hoang-Rappaport. Robin Givens, who starred in the original as Darlene Merriman, made an appearance as a special guest star.

“We will not be moving forward with a second season of Head of the Class,” HBO Max said in a press release. “We were grateful to work with Bill, Amy, and Seth to bring back such an iconic series, and we thank them and the terrific cast for their hard work and dedication.”

Surprisingly, King didn’t comment on any of these reports and has kept a low profile while her name was linked with the project. This made many believe that the Academy Award-winner isn’t all that interested in exploring the Superman universe, but it turns out that she didn’t even know she was in the running.

King recently made an appearance on MSNBC and was asked whether she is on the shortlist to helm the Superman movie. The American Crime star was genuinely surprised by the question and said that that is the first time she heard something about it.

“You have broke the news to me. A news break, live on MSNBC,” said King. “Yeah, no, I had not heard that until just now. Oh, wow.”

King didn’t want to comment further on the matter and didn’t reveal whether she would be willing to take the project if offered.

The new Superman movie is still in the early stages of development, but we already know that Ta-Nehisi Coates will serve as a writer. Coates previously worked as a journalist for The Atlantic and wrote Black Panther and Captain America comics for Marvel.

Shields will make her MMA debut in 2021 and is expected to have at least two fights next year.

“I wanted to test myself,” said Shields in a chat with ESPN. “I want to see if I can be a world champion in boxing and a world champion in MMA. That’s something I want to test myself on. I’m not saying boxing is easy, but I’ve been on top of the world for almost 14 years now.”

Shields also added that venturing to MMA won’t affect her boxing as she intends to remain active in both sports.

As an amateur, Claressa Shields represented the United States at the Olympic Games in London and Rio de Janeiro and finished as a middleweight gold medalist on both occasions. She also has two gold medals from World Championships and one from Pan American Games.

Shields turned pro in 2016 and posted a 10-0 record with two knockouts since. The 25-year-old held belts in three classes—super middleweight, light middleweight, and middleweight—including unified WBA, WBC, and IBF middleweight and unified WBC and WBO female light middleweight championship.

ESPN’s Jonathan Givony reports that there is an increasing belief among NBA’s top executives that Ball will be first off the board. The brother of New Orleans Pelicans’ Lonzo Ball is considered to be the most talented player in his class and the only “sure” pick.

Still, given that Timberwolves already have a ball-dominant guard on their roster in D’Angelo Russell, they might not be incentivized to take Ball. According to Givony, several other NBA teams will be looking to exploit this and move up to No. 1.

The list of teams that could try to convince Minnesota to give up the No. 2 pick includes Chicago Bulls, who own the No.4 pick, Detroit Pistons, who are looking to make a jump from the No. 7 spot, and Oklahoma City Thunder (No. 25 pick).

If the rumor is true, Thunder are favorites to go ahead as they have the most to offer. Aside from having No. 25 pick, they also own a chest of future first and second picks from LA Clippers and Houston Rockets that they can use to sweeten the deal.

LaMelo Ball opted to skip college last season in favor of playing for NLB’s Illawarra Hawks. It proved to be a smart decision as he won the NLB rookie of the year award by averaging 17.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 7.0 assists per game.

During a recent virtual town hall appearance with season-ticket holders, Nash talked about the expectations the Nets team faces next season and admitted that anything else than a championship win would be considered a failure. 

“We’re playing for a championship,” said Nash. “I don’t want to say that anything less than a championship is not a success because you never know what happens in life … Fortune is a big part of winning an NBA championship. But we are playing for a championship, and we’re going to build accordingly.”

Delivering in his first year as a coach is a mammoth task for a first-year head coach, even if Nash comes with great credentials that include two MVP awards. But it isn’t like he doesn’t have the necessary tools to deliver this.

Brooklyn Nets finished 2019/20 as No.7 seed in the East before being swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Toronto Raptors. Considering that his team will have two All-Stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving join next season, it isn’t a surprise Nets are considered a heavy favorites to reach the NBA Finals.

Still, a lot of things will have to click for Nets in order for this to happen.

Irving and Durant will have to return to the elite level, which isn’t exactly easy when you are coming back from season-ending injuries. Also, there is a problem considering the team chemistry, as the addition of the duo might mess the unity that carried the underdog Brooklyn team to success in the past.

Well have to wait until the start of the season to see whether Nash manages to navigate through all of this and finally get himself that ring.
