The road to WrestleMania has finally hit its end destination. After a year of surprises, upsets and championship title changes, the WWE is gearing up for an epic conclusion to the 2026 season at WrestleMania 42. Taking place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on April 18 and 19, wrestling fans will be eating good with thirteen matches scheduled for the weekend including world title matches finally set.
After the results of Elimination Chamber, Raw superstars CM Punk and Stephanie Vaquer will defend their belts against Romans Reigns and Liv Morgan, who’s looking for “trouble” in her latest music video, while SmackDown stars Cody Rhodes and Jade Cargill will face “Legend Killer” Randy Orton and Rhea Ripley.

Entertainment legend, global philanthropist and friend of Maya Angelou, Oprah Winfrey has achieved every dream she ever had — except for one.
In a Tuesday appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Winfrey spoke about how she’s been fortunate to have every one of her wildest wishes come true. The only one that never came to fruition was ending up with her teenage crush.
“Everything I ever wanted or dreamed came true,” Winfrey said. “Except, I did not marry Paul McCartney.“
The media mogul goes on to share that, growing up, she was the only girl she knew who loved The Beatles as much as she did. She even collected Beatles trading cards. And of course, like every fangirl she had a favorite member of the band.
“Of course Paul was my favorite Beatle. And I used to try to make him think of me,” Winfrey says, clutching her fists and remembering. “I used to wake in the morning and I’d stand on the stairs and say, ‘Think of me, think of me, think of me.’”
Unlike most other fangirls, however, Winfrey actually got to know her childhood crush one day. She shares that, years later, when she got the chance to interview the rock legend, she took the opportunity to ask him the question that’s been burning in the back of her mind since childhood.
“My first question to him was, ‘All those years, I was 14, and I was thinking of you. Did you ever once think of me?’” she recounts. McCartney’s reply is one that every fan hopes to hear one day: “Every day, babe, every day.”
Though Winfrey never got the chance to marry her favorite Beatle, the two of them did participate in a very special ceremony together one day. In 2010, both entertainers were awarded with Kennedy Center Honors. One of Winfrey’s favorite memories of that big night occurred not when she received her honor, but when The Beatles’ Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 “Hey Jude” began playing.
“[McCartney] took my hand,” she said. “And that was the dream I had all those years!”
Fifteen years after making Winfrey’s dreams come true, McCartney is continuing to make the dreams of all of his fans realities by releasing new music. Last month, the legend announced the release date of his 19th studio album The Boys of Dungeon Lane. The new record, set to drop on May 29, is McCartney’s first solo album in five years. The lead single, “Days We Left Behind,” is out now.
Fans can presave Paul McCartney’s The Boys of Dungeon Lane here and, while they wait for the album to come out, can watch Winfrey’s full Colbert interview below.
Who doesn’t live for The Drama? Acclaimed distributor A24 has yet another theatrical hit on its hands with Kristoffer Borgli’s latest conversation-sparking film, The Drama, which grossed $28 million worldwide in its opening weekend. Led by Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, the psychological romantic black comedy follows a couple gearing up for a wedding weekend that dramatically unravels after the revelation of controversial, lifelong secrets.
Anchored by a shocking reveal, Borgli’s incisive yet hilarious screenplay and top-tier performances from both leads, The Drama has quickly dominated social media with infinite interlocked discourses. Each of the film’s individual elements reinforces its testy themes of redemption, morality and forgiveness — particularly its immersive, folk-driven soundtrack, curated by music supervisor Jemma Burns. Built around recently unearthed ‘70s cuts like Shira Small’s “I Want to Lay With You” and wistful ‘50s numbers like Nolan Strong & The Diablo’s “The Wind,” Burns’ most rewarding Drama synchs lean into the juxtaposition between the selected compositions and the actions unfolding on screen. And it all began with one playlist.
“I’d read the script and seen his other work, so I was excited to meet him, but I had no idea about who was in [The Drama] or anything,” says Burns, who got connected with Borgli through Square Peg producer Tyler Campellone. “But we just straight away got each other; there’s a type of humor and lens we see the world through that really aligned. I got to work looking for a song for their wedding dance lesson [‘Lay With You’], which came from my very first playlist of ideas. The song at the top of that playlist, ‘Inside Out,’ was the second song they danced to. I think I’d gotten the job from that very first playlist I sent.”
As a romcom that trades on the genre’s typical tropes while incorporating chilling pieces of uniquely American culture, The Drama relies on its music not just to emphasize its most uncomfortable moments but also to provide levity and release in a narrative infused with tension. From the delightfully startling Alicia Keys needle drop to the fortifying Moondog song that plays over the end credits, music is effectively the fifth character in The Drama’s primary ensemble.
Below, Burns speaks with Billboard about clearing Keys’ “Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart,” working with Zendaya and building a dynamic partnership with Borgli.
What did you think when you finished reading the script?
After I’ve read the script, I like to hear the director’s approach. If you haven’t worked with someone before, you want to make sure that you’ve understood their sensibility and where they’re coming from. I just really got what Kris was after, and we really clicked from that first playlist.
What’s your process like generally? How did you know when you found the right fit for a song and a scene?
I like to get as many reference tracks as possible from the writer and/or director, [which] are clues to this person’s sensibility and their take on this particular story. Some of those songs might not necessarily even end up in the film. There’s a bit of guesswork involved.
Obviously, things change throughout the process because once everything comes together and you’re in the edit suite, you might find there’s a bit of a lull at one point in the story. There are many different reasons why things can shift, and we did switch around a few songs throughout the process. But many of the songs from my original playlist ended up in the film, so that was very satisfying.
The Drama has several ‘70s-era and folk music synchs. What about the film’s narrative and the actors’ performances drew you to that era and genre?
I think Kris was really going for an aesthetic that was influenced by sweet ‘60s European films and some early ‘70s American romcoms. I really wanted it to feel somewhat timeless and from another era — maybe a more golden, bygone era — so that when the gears shift, it’s a lot more jarring. We’re also still in a very modern world, and they’re very switched-on, worldly characters. That all comes crashing into the modern world when the big secret is revealed, so we’re trying to set up this contrast.
All the way through [The Drama], there’s a sort of old-fashioned whimsy. Even the final song [Moondog’s “Do Your Thing”] feels like it should be an American classic. It’s not that widely known, but it has this warm, whimsical feel; it fluctuates between the light and the dark, and the cuteness [of the romance] and the brutality of what they’re actually talking about.
How did you land on Alicia Keys’ “Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart?” Was it easy to clear this song for a film of this nature?
It needed to be something that those women would realistically put on. We’re not trying to suggest that they’re into really nerdy internet radio stations or anything like that. But at the same time, I think Kris was quite keen to give the film a somewhat unique feel by not using super obvious tracks. Even though Alicia Keys is such a beloved artist, [“Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart”] is a relatively deep cut [for general audiences]. It’s not exactly a household name song, but it should be a classic. Kris was very adamant that we didn’t use music that felt like it was part of the culture at large at this moment in time to build a singular aesthetic.
We always give a synopsis of the film. With a film like this, where they were intentionally trying to keep the plot under wraps as much as possible, it was a fairly minimal summary. We also always describe what’s going on in the specific scene that we used to track over. If the artists or songwriters are curious to know more, they can certainly ask. Sometimes, when it’s a particularly difficult song to clear, we might send them the actual scene. In the instance of Mariah Carey’s “Always Be My Baby” for Beau Is Afraid. I actually got Ari [Aster] to write a letter to Mariah, because sometimes it’s best to cut out the middlemen and get them to speak artist to artist. But we didn’t have too much trouble on this one. Alicia Keys’ people seemed very up for it. It’s always hard to guess what an artist’s film tastes are as well, isn’t it? You can’t assume they like satirical or controversial films, so you do have to tread gently.
What was the most pivotal note Borgli gave you? Did you pull any inspiration from Zendaya and Robert Pattinson or their performances?
Whimsy came with the very first song we were looking at, which was Shira Small’s “I Want to Lay With You.” Kris really wanted something with a sweet earnestness about it, but slightly old-fashioned. So, when Zendaya’s character says, “Maybe we should just dance how we normally dance,” the next song is their in-joke as a couple. Jesse Rae, [who sings] “Inside Out,” is such a character. He’s a Scottish man who was really good friends with the Troutman Brothers and Parliament-Funkadelic. They all adore him and went back to Scotland with him to record these amazing tracks that are sung in a thick Scottish accent, but with all that African-American funk. It’s a beautiful, very singular combination of sounds that’s just so joyful. And even some of my most nerdy music nerd friends had never heard of this guy! We’re actually going to do a little seven-inch [vinyl] release of that one.
I didn’t hear much direct feedback from [the stars], but working on scenes with Zendaya was interesting because she’s such a cultural phenomenon. She’s been in so many scenes, whether it’s Euphoria or Challengers, that have iconic music moments. I had to dig even deeper to figure out what songs would work with her because different combinations of songs over her image convey different things. Oftentimes, we were like, “No, this is giving Euphoria” or another project she’s heavily associated with. That extra layer of nuance was definitely there.
There are also flashes of the ’50s with songs like “The Wind” and “Sans vous aimer.” What about those songs and that era spoke to the story The Drama is trying to tell?
Oftentimes, you just don’t know what’s going to work until you actually try them together. They both fit in with this bygone golden feel we’ve set up, but they also work well because they’re surprising combinations. You have a gorgeous, old song like “The Wind” playing over an [angsty] teenage girl running around the house with her dad’s gun — not a combination you would instantly think of. It’s an intentional contrast of the slightly more innocent bygone era against the complexities of life for a teenager in this century, and what’s going on with schoolchildren as well.
Where are you listening to music these days?
Everywhere. “I Want to Lay With You” came to me because of Numero, a quite beloved reissue label that digs up old private pressings and gives them a new life. This Shara Small song was particularly lovely because she essentially recorded the album as a school project, and I don’t think she ever thought anything of it since the early ’70s. It was reissued [in 2022] and got some attention, but certainly not known by the wider public. Now she’s having a little revival thanks to her inclusion in the film.
I think that the characters would probably also listen to NTS [Radio]! It’s funny that something like NTS, which showcases either underground artists or oddball forgotten hits from previous eras, has become such a phenomenon that it’s [now synonymous] with quirky music. Even the weird underground alternative stuff has a mass audience platform these days. And we specifically did want to steer clear of artists that maybe have had an NTS special. It’s almost unavoidable at this point. Not that every amazing old song has already been discovered, but a lot of them are pretty readily accessible these days.

If you’re hitting up any music festivals this year, a great bag is an absolute necessity, and few brands make a better festival carry-all than Lululemon.
The brand’s All Night Festival Bag has been a bestseller since it arrived a few years ago, with reviewers praising its roomy (but still compact) size, its weather-resistant material and a zipper around the top that keeps everything safe and secure.
Now, Lululemon has released the latest version of its Festival Bag, in a sleek and minimalist black colorway with gold zipper detailing.
BESTSELLER
Lululemon All Night Festival Bag 5L
While the bag was available last year in a viral pink colorway, we much prefer the wearability and fashionable aesthetic of this black color, which works with almost any festival outfit or personal style. The streetwear-inspired silhouette is also firmly unisex, with a fold-over design that’s part-messenger bag and part-trendy crescent bag. More proof of its fashion cred: Even if we weren’t heading to Lollapalooza or Stagecoach, we would still wear this bag to brunch or for a night out.
Another quality that makes this bag ideal for any outdoor events is that it’s made of durable, water-repellent fabric. It has an adjustable strap that makes it easy to wear over the shoulder or as a crossbody bag, which is great if you want to switch up the way you wear it throughout the day. It also has an easily accessible front pocket that has a covered zipper.
The fold-over design keeps things chic and compact but you can also expand the bag say, if you’re hoping to carry a water bottle, sunscreen or any larger items for the long days of shows. The 5L capacity offers plenty of space and the material will stretch a little bit to cram everything in. If you decide to fold the bag in half, the bag features magnets to hold the folded-over flap firmly in place.
If you are looking for a great summer music festival option, make sure you go ahead and add this to your cart as Lululemon’s bags are popular and known to sell out. At only $78 — and available now in this classic black color — this Festival Bag is sure to sell quickly too. See more details here.
One thing to note: this is great for outdoor festivals where bag rules are a little more relaxed. For outdoor concerts or sporting events, you’ll still want to check the venue’s website for a list of stadium-approved bags.
ALSO CONSIDER
Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag 1L (Clear)
Most stadiums and concert venues are still requiring you to carry everything in a clear bag in order to enter. Luckily for us, Lululemon makes one of those too.
This bag is a see-through take on the brand’s bestselling Everywhere Belt Bag, and an easy way to get your phone, keys and accessories through concert security with ease.
