Monday Drop! Tyler, the Creator's New Album ‘Don't Tap the Glass' Gets Surprise Release Date
According to The Hollywood Reporter , the news broke in characteristic Tyler fashion: during a performance at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, on Friday night. The rapper directly announced the album title to the audience, creating immediate excitement. Further solidifying the announcement, an installation designed to recreate the album's cover, prominently featuring its title, was also displayed. The news was then officially confirmed by Tyler himself via an Instagram post on Saturday morning, which included the release date for Tyler the Creator's new album.
'Don't Tap the Glass' will be Tyler's ninth studio album. Its release comes less than a year after his previous project, Chromakopia , which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in October 2024. Chromakopia had a number of high-profile features, including Lil Wayne, Sexyy Red, Daniel Caesar, Doechii, GloRilla, LaToiya Williams, Lola Young, Santigold, Schoolboy Q, and Teezo Touchdown. Notably, Chromakopia was also released on a Monday, going against the industry's standard midnight Friday drop. This means Don't Tap the Glass , released through Columbia Records, will be his second project to deviate from the traditional release rollout.
Tyler has a distinct philosophy behind his preference for early-week releases. In a 2023 interview with Nardwuar, he provided insight into his reasoning.
'I think we should put music out again on Tuesdays instead of Fridays, for some reasons,' he explained. 'My reasoning is, I know people think because of the weekend, they can listen to stuff, and the streams go up. And the streaming people are like, 'Oh, the streams go up on the weekend!' But I think it's a lot of passive listening, at parties or people get the time to go to the gym, so they're not really listening.'
'To work on an album for so long and put so much energy into it and for it to be released at midnight…just seems so disrespectful,' he added.
Elsewhere in the interview, the rapper also discusses his frustration with finding places to seriously discuss his work.
'We need to get back to talking about music,' Tyler said. 'We need to stop f***ing going sneaker shopping or f***ing deepthroating hot wings for an hour. Talk about your album, talk about music.'
Beyond his prolific and critically acclaimed music career, Tyler is also making significant strides in the film industry. Earlier this year, he completed filming on Josh Safdie's highly anticipated movie, 'Marty Supreme,' according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film features a star-studded cast, including Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow, and is scheduled for release by A24 on Christmas Day 2025. This project will mark Tyler's feature film acting debut, adding a new dimension to his already diverse portfolio as a Grammy-winning artist, producer, fashion designer, and creative director.

Is Emma Stone an Alien in Yorgos Lanthimos' ‘Bugonia' Trailer?
Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone are collaborating again, this time on Bugonia, an eerie, dark-comedy remake of the 2003 South Korean sci-fi film Save the Green Planet!, written and directed by Jang Joon-Hwan. The film's synopsis from Will Tracy's screenplay is as follows: 'Two conspiracy obsessed young men (Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis) kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company (Emma Stone), convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth.' More from The Hollywood Reporter Daisy Edgar-Jones to Star in New 'Sense and Sensibility' Film Adaptation Maya da Costa, Myra Molloy to Star in Hayley Kiyoko's 'Girls Like Girls' Movie Steven Flynn, Former Gramercy Pictures and Focus Features Marketing Executive, Dies at 70 In addition to Stone, Plemons and Delbis, Stavros Halkias and Alicia Silverstone round out the cast. The trailer is equal parts unsettling, outlandish and zany. Although its veneer is sheer absurdity, the film's essence seems to be a dark commentary on economic disparity. While it's unclear is Stone's character is actually an alien, she appears like an unbothered Queen Bee, unfazed by the struggling working class. The English-language version of the Korean film was developed by Miky Lee's CJ ENM with Eddington writer-director Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen at Square Peg. Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe are producing for Element Pictures along with Lanthimos, Aster, Knudsen, Stone and Lee and Jerry Kyoungboum Ko for CJ ENM. Stone has worked with Lanthimos on The Favourite, Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness, which also starred Plemons. Universal Pictures will release Bugonia internationally, excluding Korea, where CJ ENM will handle the local release. Focus Features will release Bugonia in select theaters in the U.S. on Oct. 24, followed by a wide expansion on Oct. 31.

Busan Film Festival to Honor Jafar Panahi as Asian Filmmaker of the Year
The Busan International Film Festival has selected Iranian auteur Jafar Panahi as its 2025 Asian Filmmaker of the Year, honoring the director's uncompromising contributions to Asian and world cinema. Panahi will receive the award during the opening ceremony of BIFF's 30th edition, which runs Sept. 17–26 in the South Korean port city. The accolade, one of the festival's highest honors, is presented annually to an individual or organization that has made a significant impact on the development of Asian cinema. Past recipients include an elite roster of artists and autuers, such as Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Chow Yun-fat, Tony Leung, Ann Hui, Mohsen Makhmalbaf, Hou Hsiao-hsien, and the late composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, among others. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Dune' VFX House DNEG's Immersive Experiences Unit Names NBCU's Jeff Lehman Exec Producer (Exclusive) A Weakening U.S. Dollar Worries Film and TV Producers in Canada Ava Phillippe, Sam Morelos Cast in Tommy Dorfman's 'Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me' (Exclusive) A central figure in Iran's New Wave cinema, Panahi came to prominence with his debut The White Balloon (1995), winner of Cannes' Camera d'Or. He has since built a career defined by formal rigor and fearless political critique, continuing to create films despite a state-imposed ban and multiple arrests. Earlier this year, Panahi completed the rare European festival trifecta, taking home the Palme d'Or at Cannes for It Was Just an Accident (2025). The Hollywood Reporter's critic on the ground at the festival hailed the film as 'a shrewdly crafted vengeance film' that 'slowly but surely builds into a stark condemnation of abusive power and its long-lasting effects.'Panahi previously won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival for Taxi (2015) and the Golden Lion at Venice for The Circle (2000), making him the first Asian director to claim the top prize at all three major European festivals. Accepting the Palme d'Or at the Cannes ceremony, Panahi said: ''At a time when making films in my country becomes more difficult every day, this recognition reminds me that cinema can still connect us beyond borders, languages, and limitations. I not only accept this award in my own name, but also on behalf of all those who, in silence, in exile, or under pressure, continue to create.' Neon acquired North American theatrical rights to It Was Just an Accident at Cannes and plans to release the film on Oct. 15. The 30th Busan International Film Festival will be headquartered once again at the Busan Cinema Center, with screenings and special events taking place throughout the city. BIFF's Asian Project Market (APM), a vital incubator for emerging filmmakers across the region, runs concurrently with the festival. The event will unveil its competition selection in late August.

Prince George's 12th Birthday Video Reveals Rare Glimpse of His Bond with Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis
Kate Middleton and Prince William shared an adorable video on Instagram to celebrate George's special day Prince George is a proud big brother! On Tuesday, July 22, Kate Middleton and Prince William, both 43, shared a sweet video montage taken during a photo shoot showing George with his younger siblings Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, to celebrate his 12th birthday. In the clips, which appear to have been taken during Prince Louis' 7th birthday shoot done by photographer Josh Shinner, George and Charlotte lift up Louis in one adorable moment, as the trio giggle, hold hands and pose on a gate in other cute shots. "12 today! 🎉" the caption on the post, which was shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales' Instagram account, read. The video came after Princess Kate and Prince William's account posted a new portrait to celebrate their eldest son's birthday, continuing their royal tradition that started when George was a baby. In the photo, also taken by photographer Josh Shinner earlier this year in Norfolk, George could be seen resting his arms on a fence as he smiled at the camera. The pre-teen looked strikingly similar to his father in the photo, wearing country-style attire including a white and blue checked shirt with a brown fleece gilet over the top, as he did in the recently-released montage video from the shoot. "Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George! 🎂 📸 @joshshinner," the initial post was captioned. The post came after Princess Kate and Prince William released a similar video to mark Prince Louis' 7th birthday on April 23. The rare footage appeared to be a behind-the-scenes look at his birthday photo shoot, in which photographer Shinner had captured the young royal smiling (and showing off his missing front teeth!) in a snap released for the occasion. The video — captioned "Seven today!", similar to the one shared for George's birthday — showed Louis posing outdoors and having a bit of fun, including running up to the camera and grinning with his face close to the lens. At one point, Louis said in the clip: "I can jump down from there," while pointing before giving the camera a smirk. A few seconds later, he was shown taking a leap from the top of a large log. The Prince and Princess of Wales' Instagram account also posted two adorable images from the same shoot showing the siblings posing in one shot and laughing in another with Prince William to mark Father's Day on June 15. "Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after!) We love you! G, C & L 💖," the post was captioned.
