Olivia Rodrigo is opening up about her upcoming third album you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love!

The 23-year-old singer and actress is set to drop the new LP this summer, and in a new Cosmopolitan cover feature, she dished on the new music and how writing it was different than her last two albums.

“We really edited the hell out of this album. There was so much more joy in the songwriting,” she told the mag. “There are some songs that are plain old sad but also some songs that are just plain old fun.”

“We didn’t have time for revisions on SOUR. The whole world was watching. I wrote and we just fucking recorded and put it out. Then with GUTS, I was under so much pressure, like, ‘Oh my god, I’m never going to be able to make another good song.’ It wasn’t even making music to make music. It was making music to please people or prove something,” she said about the songwriting process. “With this album, I actually was like, ‘I’m done with the sophomore one. Now I can have fun again.’ I was writing songs the way I did when I was 16, purely for fun. There were some beautiful moments, like, ‘Whoa, it’s flowing out,’ which feels like catching a butterfly in a net.”

Olivia also touched on whether she finds it harder to write about happiness and if it’s cringe to be happy or sad.

“It’s not hard to do when I’m sitting there by myself in my room, but it was never the stuff that I put out. Sometimes I listen back to it and I cringe….It’s cringier to be happy. I cringe, but I’m free,” the “Drop Dead” singer shared. “All of my favorite love songs have an element of sadness, and that’s what makes them so beautiful. A great love song has so much emotion behind it that it could go either way. I want to make love songs that you can cry to.”

If you missed it, Olivia performed her new single “Drop Dead” live for the first time during a surprise Coachella appearance with Addison Rae!

She’s also set to make her hosting debut on Saturday Night Live this weekend (May 2), where she is also serving as musical guest.

Anna Cathcart is opening up about the future of XO, Kitty!

The 22-year-old star of the Netflix series stars in the latest third season of the To All the Boys spinoff, which launched on the streamer earlier this month.

This season ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, but has yet to be announced for a fourth season.

In a new interview, Anna dished on the hopes for season four, as well as the possibility of the series being canceled before the characters graduate from KISS.

“I think I would love to do a season four and see them graduate and see what that end of the chapter looks like, because they’re at winter break now in their senior year,” she said on the Zach Sang Show. “But I do like how season three ends. I think it makes a lot of sense and I think it’s cool to see Kitty happy and in a relationship and looking forward to this next chapter, because she’s often always [motions franticly] and now she’s happy. I love seeing her not in turmoil.”

She also teased what she’d like to see in season four, even the possibility of moving some of the season to Kitty’s hometown of Portland and filming where they shot the To All the Boys movies.

“I think it would be so fun to see Minho in the Covey household. Like, I would love that. I think they’re headed to Portland at the end of the season. I think just the crazy otherworld type of scenario of just seeing Minho where the movies were shot, I think would be so special,” Anna said. “And like this is the couch Peter and Lara Jean sat on. Now, Kitty and Minho are sitting on it… Also just like Kitty’s always understanding Minho and his world, but he doesn’t get to see her world. He sees the world she built around him and the world that she built when she got t o Korea, but not her roots, and I think there’s something very intimate about showing someone your hometown and where your elementary school is and all that kind of stuff. So, I think that’d be very special.”

Anna also spoke to the possibility of Netflix not renewing the show for a fourth season, likening that potential to graduating high school during COVID.

“I’ve never thought about that as a decision because it’s not my decision. I could have to say goodbye to Kitty tomorrow if we get told we don’t get a season four,” she candidly shared. “Or I could be told that we have multiple more seasons and I got to keep finding a way to want to be with her. So, it’s not up to me. I don’t really think about when it’s like time because it’s not in my control.”

“But I think if I don’t get a season four, I will have a hard time of like, I was a COVID grad and I never got to have my high school end the way that I expected. And it would feel like that,” she added. “Like it’ll feel like the plug just got pulled randomly and now you don’t get graduation. You don’t get to say goodbye. You don’t get the last time walking through the hallways and feeling nostalgic that like this is where you spent five years of your life. Like that’s how high school felt. And I very much compared that in my mind of like if we don’t get to season four, I think it’ll be like that..

“I didn’t know we had to say good bye. I never got to tie the bow and the ribbon and like write my little love letter to her. It’s like it just all of a sudden, she disappears? That’s crazy. But also like I get it,” Anna continued. “It’s been so many years of my life. I think that I don’t know what’s going to happen. And I think everything, there’s reasons for whatever, whatever does end up happening. I respect and understand it. I think there’s a lot of a lot that goes on behind the scenes that people don’t realize of what goes into those decisions. But it is it isn’t something I really consider of like when it’s time ’cause I’m told when that time is and I just have to kind of make it work for me.”

The first look and release date for the upcoming Enola Holmes 3 is here!

Millie Bobby Brown and Louis Partridge are reprising their roles in the new movie, which is slated to premiere on Netflix this summer.

Here’s a synopsis: Adventure chases detective Enola Holmes to Malta, where personal and professional dreams collide on a case more tangled and treacherous than any she has faced before.

Also returning for the third installment are Himesh Patel, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Susan Wokoma, Henry Cavill and Helena Bonham Carter.

“What I love about this chapter is that Enola is stepping into a version of herself that feels much more defined but still evolving,” Millie shared in a statement with Tudum. “She’s built something for herself, which is amazing, but she’s also questioning what she wants next, and I think that’s something so many people can relate to.”

“Working with Louis [Partridge] has been such a huge part of what makes these films feel special. There’s a comfort and an ease between us now that you can’t really fake and it just comes from years of working together and supporting each other,” the actress and producer added. “What’s been really nice is getting to explore a more mature version of Enola and Tewkesbury’s relationship. It’s not just playful anymore, it has real weight to it. We trust each other a lot, which means we can take more risks and really lean into the emotional side of their story.”

Millie‘s husband Jake Bongiovi is also serving as an executive producer, and her dad, Robert Brown, is a producer as well!

Enola Holmes 3 is set to premiere on July 1st on Netflix, less than three years after it was first announced to be in development.

Netflix has begun production on the upcoming series Scooby-Doo: Origins and the first photo from set has been shared!

The series is a modern reimagining of the iconic mystery-solving group of teens and their very special dog. During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder. Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.
