Sydney Sweeney Reveals Glen Powell Helped Her Land a Gig
Glen Powell played a major role in Sydney Sweeney and Tate McRae's collaboration in 'Miss Possessive.' During her appearance on Kelly Clarkson's talk show, Sweeney lavished praise on her 'Anyone But You' co-star for helping her connect with the singer. In the episode, Clarkson seemed too curious about the duo's iconic joint endeavour in the song, triggering the discussion about Powell's involvement and how it possibly couldn't have happened without him.
'You were on a Tate McRae song, how did that happen?' the host asked Sweeney, who was thrilled to answer. She revealed being McRae's and her music's 'huge fan,' but admitted to not knowing her before that. 'I think she's so beyond talented, and she's so hot,' the Emmy-nominated star raved about the singer, ultimately dishing that Powell 'connected' them. She explained, 'He was like, 'Hey, Tate wants me to connect you two. Can I give her your number?' I said, 'Yeah sure.''
Acknowledging Glen Powell's role in the collaboration, Sydney Sweeney shared that Tate McRae reached out to her soon after. The latter reportedly requested a sample of her voice for her latest album. Both Clarkson and Sweeney unanimously agreed that it was 'so cool' she got to work with the musician, and all fans have Powell to thank for the epic collab. 'Miss Possessive' is the opening track of the 'So Close to What' album. It features a brief portion with Sweeney, saying, 'No, seriously, get your hands off my man.'
The revelation came days after Powell's rumored ex, Gigi Paris, seemingly broke her silence on their highly publicized breakup. Paris appeared on the 'Too Much' podcast and talked about a former boyfriend without taking names, revealing she knew exactly when to walk away.

Bob Odenkirk Still Does His Own Stunts in 'Nobody 2' After His Heart Attack — But There's One Big Rule (Exclusive)
NEED TO KNOW Bob Odenkirk speaks to PEOPLE exclusively in the video series My Life in Pictures In his new action-comedy Nobody 2, sequel to the 2021 hit Nobody, the Emmy winner does his own fighting Other stunts, he says, are off the table: 'They don't let me fly through the air' Yes, Bob Odenkirk does his own stunts. Well, almost all of them. 'I do my own fighting. But they don't let me fly through the air," reveals the 62-year-old actor-producer in PEOPLE's My Life in Pictures video series, while discussing the sequel to his 2021 action-comedy Nobody. The powers that be behind Nobody 2 (in theaters today) are 'not dumb,' he quips, when it comes to stunts like high falls or being attached to wires. 'I've had a heart attack,' says Odenkirk. 'I am 62.' It was before that 2021 heart attack, a near-fatal incident on the set of his hit drama Better Call Saul, that Odenkirk decided to take on the action genre with Nobody's director Ilya Naishuller and writer Derek Kolstad. 'This is another strange journey from my career,' he says, looking at photos from decades in and out of the spotlight. 'I had this strange notion that I could do action. I was in pretty good shape.' Saul Goodman, he adds, was 'a character who was never quitting, clever and had a real heart driving him. And I thought, 'All I gotta do is add the fighting to it, and I'm willing to train.' So I trained for years and I found some people who were foolish enough to back me at Universal Studios. And we made a 'big-little' film called Nobody.' Its sequel, from director Timo Tjahjanto, reunites the Emmy winner with costars Connie Nielsen, Christopher Lloyd, RZA and more. It adds Colin Hanks, John Ortiz and Sharon Stone to the action-packed world of Odenkirk's Hutch Mansell, a government assassin-turned-family man. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. 'I love doing the stunts,' admits the comedy veteran. 'The stunts are the closest thing to sketch comedy of anything I've done because there's something about pulling it off. You do the stunt, you have the choreography, you change it, you modify it, you invent things, and then you go behind the camera and watch it. And when it works, everyone laughs.' Odenkirk is aware that Mission: Impossible star Tom Cruise — one year older at 63 — 'does his own stunts,' he says. 'I know, I know. Tom, good for you.' He adds, 'I'm probably not in as good a shape as good, ol' Tom Cruise.' Nobody 2 is in theaters now. Read the original article on People

Country music superstar eager to perform for ‘rabid' fans at Mass. shows
After playing an acoustic tour last year, Lee Brice is looking to turn things up a notch when he plays for 'rabid' fans at several Massachusetts venues later this week. 'The country fans up there are so rabid. I love them. I mean they're crazy and so they always show up and they show up with bells on,' Brice told MassLive in a phone interview from his South Carolina farm home. 'We love playing up there.' The chart-topping, multi-platinum-selling country music sensation said his upcoming shows will be 'full on Lee Brice' as opposed to the intimate setting he created on his 'Me & My Guitar Tour' in 2024. 'This will be 'come out and kick the footlights out,'' Brice, a CMA and ACM award winner, said. The Grammy-nominated artist will play three shows in Bay State. Brice will play at South Shore Music Circus in Cohasset on Friday, Indian Ranch in Webster on Saturday and at Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis on Sunday. When he's not performing, Brice likes to spend some time eating at local seafood restaurants or hanging out by the lake at his friend's house in Lowell. 'We've been coming there for so long. We've been everywhere, man. You know if you want the best wings. He's like, well, 'we're gonna go over here if you want that, you know. But if you want some fish and chips, we're gonna go over here,'' Brice explained. 'So it's good stuff.' The shows will serve as a precursor to Brice's 'What You Know About Tour,' which starts Sept. 11 in Clearwater, Florida. The tour comes on the heels of Brice's latest singles — 'Cry' and 'Said No Country Boy Ever' — that both came out earlier in 2025. 'Said No Country Boy Ever,' a collaboration with The Traler Park, was released July 3 and is Brice's most recent song. Brice said the song came about during a separate writing session for another song. 'In the middle of the write, one of us just said, 'Said no country boy ever.' I said, 'Stop what we're writing now. This is what we're writing right now.' After writing the song, Brice called up his longtime friends who make up The Traler Park. They include Jamey Johnson, Jerrod Niemann, Randy Houser, Rob Hatch and Dallas Davidson. 'They've deemed this as The Traler Park, I guess, after all the years of us kind of raising hell,' Brice joked. 'We've done so much together over the years, but we've never all been on one song. And so I said, 'Boys, come on now. We need to all get on one song. Let's do it.' And so they were all in.' A mid-tempo country-rock track, 'Said No Country Boy Ever' lists everything that southern gentlemen could not live without from their mother's fried chicken to wide open pastures. However, the lyrics are presented ironically, as shown through the main chorus 'Said no country boy ever since we been around / Said no country boy ever since the beer's been iced down / I wish my baby's kisses didn't last so damn long (so damn long) / Said no country boy, country boy ever, yeah.' 'It kind of, really, became a cool thing, that song,' Brice said. 'We just love the song and I was just glad to have my boys on over me.' Brice, who has been making music since he was 10 years old, said writing and producing go 'hand-in-hand' for him — especially with a music career spanning roughly two decades. He joined a songwriting session at his home studio right after his MassLive interview. Brice expected to finish most of the track that same day. 'We'll record a lot of this song today,' the musician said. 'I'm kind of producing as I'm writing, even if it is just us and a guitar. But, it's nice to be in the studio to go ahead and get some of those parts out of your head while you're going.' Brice's songwriting chops have not only earned him more than 10 billion streams, they have also earned him a coveted spot at the Las Vegas Songwriters Festival. The country music superstar will participate in the four-day event at House of Blues Las Vegas inside Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino from Aug. 21-24. 'There's going to be so many songwriters that are a part of a lot of my songs through the years,' Brice explained. 'I'm thinking about just bringing them all up one by one and kind of have them be a part of whenever I play the song and they're playing it with me or singing a verse or whatever. So it's going to be a really interesting, cool, unique show.' Fans can expect to hear Brice perform hits from his catalog at the festival. Tickets starting at $69, can be purchased online. Meanwhile, tickets for the 'What You Know About Tour' are also on sale now. A full list of shows is below: Sept. 11 — The BayCare Sound in Clearwater, Florida Sept. 12 — War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Sept. 13 — The St. Augustine Amphitheater in Saint Augustine, Florida Sept. 18 — Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre in Youngstown, Ohio Sept. 19 — Meadow Brook Amphitheatre in Rochester Hills, Michigan Sept. 20 — Rosemont Theatre in Rosemont, Illinois Sept. 25 — Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park in Indianapolis, Indiana Sept. 26 — Vibrant Music Hall in Waukee, Iowa Sept. 27 — Scheels Arena in Fargo, North Dakota Oct. 16 — Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater in Bridgeport, Connecticut Oct. 17 — Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, New York Oct. 18 — Cross Insurance Arena in Portland, Maine Oct. 23 — EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, Virginia Oct. 24 — The Dome in Virginia Beach, Virginia Oct. 25 — Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh, North Carolina Brice, 46, is a chart-topping, multi-platinum-selling recording artist who has released five studio albums since his debut in 2010. The South Carolina native has earned eight No. 1 singles on the Billboard Country Airplay chart: 'Hard To Love,' 'Memory I Don't Mess With,' I Hope You're Happy Now,' Rumor,' 'I Don't Dance,' I Drive Your Truck,' 'A Woman Like You' and 'One Of Them Girls' — the latter which cracked the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2020.
