FALLOUT Season 2 Poster Takes The Crew to New Vegas — GeekTyrant
The poster teases the big location and sets the tone for what's to come. The silhouette of the crew against a massive "Welcome to New Vegas" sign confirms that Fallout Season 2 is diving headfirst into the world introduced in Obsidian Entertainment's beloved RPG Fallout: New Vegas .
That game took players through the Mojave Wasteland in a power-struggle-filled journey to deliver a mysterious device called the Platinum Chip. Now, Amazon's series is stepping into that same radioactive sandbox.
Season 1 of the series ended with Lucy discovering the dark truth about her father and heading out into the unknown with the Ghoul in tow. The new poster makes it clear where that road leads.
New Vegas is a narrative goldmine filled with political factions, wild characters, and dangerous mysteries.
Some other cast members include Macaulay Culkin, who is said to be playing a 'crazy genius-type' character, Leslie Uggams is back as Betty, and Anthony Misiano might even be reprising the role of Mr. House—first teased in Season 1.
Fallout Season 2 is confirmed to appear at Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 19, where a teaser trailer is expected to drop. So, stay tuned for that!

Inside the final burst of Elvis Presley's creativity 48 years after his death
Two and a half years before he died, Elvis Presley sat on the floor of a walk-in closet at the Las Vegas Hilton and discussed a project that might have changed the course of his life. The meeting, as recounted by Presley's longtime friend Jerry Schilling, put the King of Rock and Roll face to face with Barbra Streisand, who'd come to see Presley perform at the Hilton in March 1975 then sought an audience after the show to float an idea: Would Presley be interested in appearing opposite Streisand in her remake of 'A Star Is Born'? At the time of the duo's conversation — Schilling says that he, Presley's pal Joe Esposito and Streisand's boyfriend Jon Peters squeezed into the closet with the stars in a search for some quiet amid the commotion backstage — it had been six years since Presley had last played a dramatic role onscreen; Streisand's pitch so tantalized him, according to Schilling, that they ended up talking for more than two hours about the movie. 'We even ordered in some food,' Schilling recalls. Read more: All 43 of Billy Joel's Hot 100 hits, ranked from worst to best Presley, of course, didn't get the part famously played by Kris Kristofferson — a casualty, depending on who you ask, of Streisand's insistence on top billing or of the unreasonable financial demands of Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker. (In her 2023 memoir, Streisand wonders whether the character of a self-destructive musician was in the end 'a little too close to his own life' for Elvis' comfort.) Whatever the case, Schilling believes that the disappointment over 'A Star Is Born' set Presley on a path of poor decision-making that effectively tanked his career before his tragic death at age 42 on Aug. 16, 1977 — 48 years ago this weekend. 'That was the last time I saw the twinkle in my friend's eye,' Schilling, 83, says of the sit-down with Streisand. An intriguing new box set commemorates the King's final burst of creativity. Released this month in five-CD and two-LP editions, 'Sunset Boulevard' collects the music Presley recorded in Los Angeles between 1972 and 1975, including the fruit of one session held just days before the meeting about 'A Star Is Born.' These were the studio dates that yielded songs like 'Separate Ways,' which Elvis cut amid the crumbling of his marriage to Priscilla Presley, and 'Burning Love,' his last Top 10 pop hit, as well as 1975's 'Today' LP, an exemplary showcase of Presley's latter-day blend of rock, country and blue-eyed soul. Is yet another repackaging of Presley's music really something to get excited about? The Elvis industry has never not been alive and well over the half-century since he died; in just the last few years, we've seen Baz Luhrmann's splashy big-screen biopic, the latest book from the singer's biographer Peter Guralnick (this one about Parker) and not one but two documentaries about the so-called '68 comeback special that heralded Presley's return to live performance after nearly a decade of film work. More gloomily, 'Sunset Boulevard' arrives as Priscilla Presley — who got her own biopic from director Sofia Coppola in 2023 — is making headlines thanks to an ugly legal battle with two former business partners she brought on to aid in managing the Presley brand. (The feud itself follows the sudden death two years ago of Priscilla and Elvis' only child, Lisa Marie Presley.) Yet the new box offers an opportunity to ponder the curious position Elvis found himself in once the glow of the comeback special had faded: a rock and roll pioneer now strangely removed from the culture he did as much as anyone to invent. 'Sunset Boulevard's' title, which the set shares with Billy Wilder's iconic 1950 movie, can't help but evoke the spoiled grandeur of an aging showbiz legend. It also refers to the physical location of RCA Records' West Coast headquarters at 6363 Sunset Blvd., across the street from Hollywood's Cinerama Dome. Now the site of the L.A. Film School, the building is where the Rolling Stones recorded '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' and Jefferson Airplane made 'Surrealistic Pillow' — and where Presley set up in the early '70s after cutting most of his '60s movie soundtracks at Radio Recorders near the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and La Brea Avenue. By 1972, rock had long since evolved beyond the crucial influence Elvis exerted at the beginning of his career. Nor was the King particularly dialed into what was happening in music while he was busy in Hollywood. 'We weren't as exposed as much as I wish we would've been to everything going on,' Schilling says on a recent afternoon at his home high in the hills above Sunset Plaza. A core member of Elvis' fabled Memphis Mafia, Schilling has lived here since 1974, when Elvis bought the place from the TV producer Rick Husky and gifted it to Schilling for his years of loyal friend-ployment. 'When you're doing movies, you're up at 7 in the morning and you're in makeup by 8,' Schilling continues. 'You work all day and you come home — you're not necessarily putting on the latest records.' More than the growling rock lothario of Presley's early days — to say nothing of the shaggy psychedelic searchers who emerged in his wake — what the RCA material emphasizes is how expressive a ballad singer Elvis had become in middle age. Schilling says the singer's romantic troubles drew him to slower, moodier songs like 'Separate Ways,' 'Always on My Mind' and Kristofferson's 'For the Good Times,' the last of which he delivers in a voice that seems to tremble with regret. (Presley had to be cajoled into singing the uptempo 'Burning Love,' according to Schilling, who notes with a laugh that 'when it became a hit, he loved it.') Read more: John Fogerty on the stories behind 5 of his turning-est, burning-est hits But in the deep soulfulness of this music you're also hearing the rapport between Presley and the members of his live band, with whom he recorded at RCA instead of using the session players who'd backed him in the '60s. Led by guitarist James Burton, the TCB Band — that's Taking Care of Business — was assembled ahead of Elvis' first engagement at Las Vegas' International Hotel, which later became the Las Vegas Hilton; indeed, one of 'Sunset Boulevard's' more fascinating features is the hours of rehearsal tape documenting Presley's preparation in L.A. for the Vegas shows that began in 1969. The sound quality is murky and the performances fairly wobbly, as in a take on 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling' where Elvis can't quite seem to decide on a key. Yet it's a thrill to listen in as the musicians find their groove — a kind of earthy, slow-rolling country-gospel R&B — in an array of far-flung tunes including 'You Don't Have to Say You Love Me,' 'Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues,' even the Pointer Sisters' 'Fairytale.' In one rehearsal recorded Aug. 16, 1974, Elvis cues his band to play the Ewan MacColl ballad made famous by Roberta Flack: ''The First Time Ever I Saw Your Friggin' Face,'' he calls out as we hear the players warming up. Then they all lock in for a closely harmonized rendition of the song so pretty there's something almost spooky about it. Sitting next to the balcony he was standing on when he got the phone call alerting him to the news of Presley's death, Schilling takes clear pleasure in spinning well-practiced yarns about his years with Elvis: the time John Lennon told him to tell Presley that he grew out his sideburns in an attempt to look like the King, for instance, or the audition where Elvis took a flier on a relatively unknown drummer named Ronnie Tutt who ended up powering the TCB Band. He's more halting when he talks about the end of his friend's life and about what he sees as the lack of a serious artistic challenge that might have sharpened Elvis' focus. Staying on in Vegas a bit too long, making so-so records in a home studio set up at Graceland — these weren't enough to buoy the man he calls a genius. Does Schilling know if Presley saw 'A Star Is Born' when it came out at the end of 1976? He considers the question for a good 10 seconds. 'I don't know,' he finally says. He started tour managing the Beach Boys that year and was spending less time with Presley. 'He never mentioned it to me. I wish I knew. There's probably nobody alive now who could say.'

Clarkson's Farm Season 5: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on August 16, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated August 16, 2025, 15:35 IST Alright, Clarkson's Farm fans, let's talk about the show that's got everyone obsessed with Jeremy Clarkson's wild farming life at Diddly Squat. Season 4 just dropped, and the buzz for Season 5 is already off the charts. Here's the scoop on when it might hit, who's returning, and what kind of chaos we're in for—everything known so far, straight from the farm! Is Clarkson's Farm Season 5 Happening? You bet it is! Amazon Prime Video didn't waste time, confirming Season 5 before Season 4 even aired. Jeremy spilled the beans in style on November 5, 2024, with a video showing drones lighting up the sky to spell out a giant '5.' Talk about a flex! Filming's already rolling at Diddly Squat, with camera crews spotted capturing the usual madness. Fans are hyped, and honestly, who wouldn't be? Release Date Speculation for Clarkson's Farm Season 5 No official release date yet, but let's piece it together. The show's dropped seasons at different times: June 2021 for Season 1, February 2023 for Season 2, and May for both Seasons 3 and 4 (2024 and 2025). Filming's happening now, but editing, voiceovers, and all that polish take a while. Some folks on X are guessing May 2025, but that feels like a stretch with filming still underway. Summer 2026—maybe May or June—seems more likely. Keep an eye out for Amazon's official word, probably closer to the premiere. Who's Back for Clarkson's Farm Season 5? The Diddly Squat crew is what makes the show, and the main gang's expected to return: Jeremy Clarkson : The loudmouth ex- Top Gear star who's somehow a farmer now. His crazy ideas and hilarious rants are the show's heartbeat. Kaleb Cooper : The young farming whiz who keeps Jeremy in check with savage one-liners. He's basically the farm's MVP. Lisa Hogan : Jeremy's partner, holding it down at the farm shop with her wit and zero patience for nonsense. Charlie Ireland : The land agent who's always saving Jeremy from paperwork disasters. Gerald Cooper: The legend with the thick accent and deadpan humor. Every scene he's in is gold. Big question: will Harriet Cowan be back? The 24-year-old farmhand stole hearts in Season 4 while Kaleb was off doing his theater tour. Fans are begging for her return, but she's staying tight-lipped. Fingers crossed she's back for more! There might be new faces too, especially if Jeremy's got some wild new project up his sleeve. What's the Plot for Clarkson's Farm Season 5? Plot details are hush-hush, but expect the usual mix of laughs, drama, and farming fails. Season 4 had Jeremy juggling The Farmer's Dog pub while dealing with crop disasters and skyrocketing costs. Season 5 will probably keep the cameras on Diddly Squat, with fresh challenges. Word on X is that Jeremy's been hit hard by weather—2024 was too soggy, 2025 too dry, and a recent 'catastrophic' harvest could set the stage for some intense moments. A shiny new John Deere tractor was spotted at the farm shop, and fans are losing it. After Jeremy's fancy Lamborghini tractor tanked in Season 4 (sold at a £14,500 loss, ouch), this new ride hints at big plans. Will it save the day or just spark more chaos? The show might lean into Jeremy's growing passion for speaking up for farmers, too—he's been vocal about stuff like net zero policies. Plus, a heartbreaking update about livestock testing positive for TB could bring some tear-jerker scenes. Grab the tissues!

Kelly Clarkson abruptly cancels Las Vegas residency shows for the second time: ‘Sincerely sorry'
Pop icon and television host Kelly Clarkson abruptly canceled all remaining August performances of her 'Kelly Clarkson: Studio Sessions — The Las Vegas Residency' on Wednesday night. 'Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas,' the singer wrote in an Instagram post. This is the second time Clarkson dropped residency shows at the last minute in just over a month. The singer said the most recent cancellation is due to health issues with her ex-husband, talent manager Brandon Blackstock. 'While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them,' Clarkson shared. The 'Breakaway' singer has primary custody of the two kids she shares with Blackstock: River, 10, and Remington, 8. 'I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding,' the 'American Idol' winner wrote. Clarkson's next round of performances is scheduled for November 2025, according to her website. The three-time Grammy winner shocked fans in early July when she canceled opening night and an additional performance during Independence Day weekend due to a strained voice. 'I am devastated to have to postpone tonight and tomorrow's opening at Caesars,' Clarkson wrote in an Instagram post on July 4. 'The prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice. I want the shows to be perfect for y'all and I need to protect myself from doing serious damage so I am taking this weekend and next week to rest up so we can deliver what you all deserve.' A Vegas insider confirmed that Clarkson did not want to cause 'serious damage' to her voice during the opening weekend. But another insider told us that the star was 'fighting some serious hidden battles that very few people are privy to,' which caused her 'emotional' and 'physical' distress behind the scenes. Her residency rollercoaster happened months after she mysteriously disappeared from 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' for 10 episodes in March, with no initial explanation. Insiders previously told us she took her kids to see her ex-husband, who was sick at the time. 'The Voice' judge and her ex-husband have had a tumultuous relationship since Clarkson filed for divorce in June 2020 after seven years of marriage. The filing was followed by a lengthy legal battle surrounding their $10.4 million ranch in Montana, custody of two kids and Blackstock's request for spousal support. The exes settled their divorce in March 2022, with Clarkson receiving primary custody of the kids and Blackstock having them one weekend a month. The 'Because of You' songbird also won the house but was ordered to pay Blackstock $115,000 a month in spousal support until January 2024. Clarkson spoke candidly about her dating life during a Vegas residency show on July 21 at the Colosseum at Las Vegas' Caesars Palace stage. 'Dating can be very difficult, which is why I don't,' the 'Miss Independent' vocalist quipped.
