#Adele
o Yesterday it was revealed that she is on the cover of American and British Vogue this month and the pictures are breathtaking.
o In her interview, she speaks out about her divorce, new album, new beau, and weight loss.
o This was her first interview in five years and she really opened up.
o She said the new album “is self-destruction, then self-reflection and then sort of self-redemption. But I feel ready. I really want people to hear my side of the story this time.”
o No official release date has been given but her first single off of it will be released next week on October 15th and it’s called “Easy on Me.”
o In regard to her weight loss, she said “People are shocked I didn’t share my ‘journey…’ I did it for myself and not anyone else. So why would I ever share it?”
#Wandavision
o The show was touted as a limited series, nothing was said about spinoffs of the show!
o Variety is reporting that a spinoff series focused on Agatha is being developed for Disney+.
o Kathryn Hahn would reprise the role of Agatha Harkness in the series which she definitely deserves as many feel she stole every scene she was in on Wandavision.
o Marvel isn’t giving any clues on the spinoff’s plot but speculation is that there would be a big opportunity to explore her origin, which could go back to the Salem Witch trials.
o No word on whether Agatha will be the hero or the villain in the new spinoff.
o Twitter is testing an alert that would warn users before they get into a heated argument.
o Depending on the topic or mood of the thread, a prompt might announce “conversations like this can be intense.”
o The feature may also offer tips on keeping posts respectful and factual.
o It’s being tested for both iOS and Android but there’s no indication if or when it will be officially rolled out.
