Lady Gaga teams with Tim Burton for Wednesday song music video shot in Mexico
The insider revealed that the video was filmed in Mexico, though the exact shoot dates remain unclear. Gaga was in Mexico City in April for concerts at Estadio GNP Seguros, which may have coincided with the music video's production. Variety first reported the news and confirmed that the track will release next month.
Netflix officially announced Gaga's involvement in Wednesday during a Tudum fan event held in Los Angeles in May. THR had previously reported her casting for a guest role late last year. Part one of Wednesday Season 2 premiered on August 6, while part two — which will include Gaga's guest appearance — is scheduled to debut on September 3.
Tim Burton, who directed four episodes in both Season 1 and 2, shared his connection with the character and the show. 'I've never done television, so it was the idea of exploring something on a longer time frame,' Burton told THR in July. 'As much as a middle-aged man could feel like a teenage Wednesday Addams, I feel those things. And she's a character that's all about being subtle because she doesn't really have a huge range of emotions.'
Beyond her work on Wednesday, Gaga is also busy with her Mayhem Ball arena tour, which began at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 16. She also headlined Coachella in April with a performance widely hailed as one of the best in the festival's history.

Jeff Probst explains Mike White's return for Survivor 50 and addresses White Lotus cameo speculation
Jeff Probst has explained why The White Lotus creator Mike White is returning for the 50th season of Survivor. The host and executive producer admitted he anticipated attention around White's casting, but was still 'a little surprised' at the reaction when CBS announced the line-up. Probst told The Hollywood Reporter that White's return is notable because 'there is no hiding that he is the biggest writer, director, show creator in the world right now, and he wanted to come back and play Survivor.' He believes the interest lies in White's study of human behaviour, which influences his television work. White first competed in season 37, David vs. Goliath, in 2018, finishing as runner-up before The White Lotus premiered. For season 50, airing spring 2026, he will face other returning players, including former winners and fellow second-place finishers. Probst said White wanted to test how success in Hollywood might affect his gameplay, asking, 'Now that everybody is more aware of me… how will I fare?' The host expects it will be 'fun' to watch how other contestants interact with him, given his track record of inviting past players to cameo in The White Lotus. Asked if he would appear in White's HBO series, Probst declined, saying, 'No, Mike should never put me on White Lotus,' though he praised White's generosity in offering Survivor alumni the opportunity to visit and appear on set. White has previously joked that Probst would avoid casting him again after seeing him reach the finals. Probst said White's persistence and public campaign ultimately led to his return, adding that he is 'so grateful' to have him back. 'He's arguably the single best storyteller we've ever had on Survivor,' Probst said, calling White 'authentic' and 'one of the best of all time.'

Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus stun as new couple goes official on red carpet
Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus have gone public with their relationship, making their first official appearance as a couple on the red carpet. The pair posed for photos during the London press event for Channel 4's The Inheritance, where Hurley stars in a leading role. Their arrival together confirmed months of speculation about their budding romance. The 60-year-old actress dazzled in a figure-hugging red gown with a chest cut-out and gold heels, while Cyrus, 63, wore his signature all-black outfit, complete with tattoos, a full beard, and long straight hair. Their chemistry was evident as they posed side by side, smiling warmly for the cameras at The Ned, the venue hosting the photocall. The relationship reportedly began in 2022 when the two worked together on Christmas in Paradise, a Netflix film. Though they shared limited screen time, Cyrus later admitted he felt a spark during filming. Speaking in April on Apple Music's Ty Bentli Show, he recalled, "We just laughed, and it was at a time when I wasn't laughing a lot... and I found that the oddest thing." Their red-carpet moment comes four months after their relationship was first reported in April. Since then, the couple has been spotted privately but never posed for media together until now. Online reaction has been divided, with some fans celebrating the unlikely pairing, while others expressed surprise at the match. Hurley's appearance also reignited admiration for her timeless beauty, with social media users praising her look. Meanwhile, Cyrus' stoic presence and support for his partner added a surprising country twist to the British television scene. Whether this relationship will continue to evolve in the public eye remains to be seen, but for now, their joint appearance has made headlines across entertainment media.

Michael Bay in talks to return for Transformers reboot after exiting 'Fast and Loose'
Michael Bay is reportedly in talks with Paramount about returning to direct a new Transformers film, marking his potential comeback to the franchise he first launched in 2007. The development follows Bay's departure from the Netflix and Will Smith project Fast and Loose. According to Deadline, Bay and Smith parted ways over creative differences. Bay had pushed for a more action-driven approach, while Smith preferred to lean into comedy. Fast and Loose, which would have reunited the pair for the first time since Bad Boys, remains in production with Netflix aiming for an October shoot. Smith is still attached to star as a man with no memory who learns he has been living two separate lives, one as a cartel kingpin and another as a CIA agent, while the search for a new director continues. With Fast and Loose no longer on his schedule, Bay is said to be 'discussing with Paramount a return to the Transformers fold with a new version of that tentpole.' Reports indicate that the studio currently has five Transformers projects in various stages of development. These include a potential crossover with G.I. Joe and another live-action entry from Transformers One director Josh Cooley. Bay directed the first five Transformers films between 2007 and 2017, with the series earning over $4 billion worldwide. Beyond Transformers, Bay is also developing OutRun at Universal. Based on the classic video game, the project will star Sydney Sweeney and be produced by Bay alongside Brad Fuller. Jayson Rothwell is writing the script.
