Tame Impala frontman cryptically teases new music
The 39-year-old musician has cryptically suggested that new material from his musical project could be on the way as fans eagerly await a follow-up to the 2020 album The Slow Rush.
Kevin has posted a series of photos on Instagram, including one of him in the studio, one containing a progress chart of a track list – many marked with the word 'done' alongside them.
The post also included a snap of Parker posing with his wife Stephanie Lawrence, who is pregnant with the couple's second child.
He captioned the upload: 'Been busy.'
Tame Impala's website also suggests that new music could be on the way after a cryptic update suddenly appeared that altered the site' interface.
Intriguingly, the page's source code has also been changed and the message 'iwaitedtiltheendofsummerandiranoutoftime' can be found.
Kevin collaborated with Dua Lipa by serving as a producer on her 2024 album Radical Optimism and enjoyed the 'wild' experience of joining the pop star on stage at the Glastonbury Festival last year.

He told The Guardian newspaper last year: 'The nicest thing about it was that it was Dua headlining Glastonbury, which is something she has wanted to do since she was a kid.
'I felt like I had a seat in someone's dream that they were living - I was just happy to be a part of it.'
Kevin duetted with Dua on Tame Impala's 2015 track The Less I Know the Better although he was puzzled by the Houdini hitmaker's request to join her on stage at first.
He recalled: 'I remember just being like, 'Really? Are you sure you want to play my little song during your set of absolute bangers?'
'She was pretty insistent – so after I double-checked with her that she wanted to do it, of course I was in.'
Parker immediately bonded with Dua as they worked on the album and he was impressed at the superstar's lack of 'ego'.
He explained: 'The energy Dua creates in her creative space is one of no ego – we all noticed there were no huge personalities in the room trying to dominate the process.
'When you speak to other writers, they've all got nightmare experience of people who were too big for the room.'

Mattel opens adults-only Uno club at Las Vegas Palms Casino with strict gambling restrictions
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. The stakes have well and truly been raised for a simple game of Uno. The popular family game played by people as young as seven will make its controversial debut in Sin City on Friday in a wild shift from the dining table to the dealer's circle. Game owners Mattel have given the green light to a 'Uno Social Club' above the gaming floors at The Palms Casino in Las Vegas off the Nevada strip, with plans to expand to more gambling locations. Slamming down the cards in frustration after copping a draw four won't exactly be the classiest move at the decked out venue, with players treated to dedicated game hosts shuffling the decks — ensuring no cheating. The room will also feature a private bowling alley, pool table and plush lounges. Different variations of the classic game will be on offer on different tables from July 18-20 and there'll be no children in sight at the exclusive event, with only participants over 21 allowed. But there's a catch. X SUBSCRIBER ONLY Guests wanting to gamble on the games, despite the venue, won't be allowed. The decision is part of Mattel's main objective to provide an 'elevated social experience' at casinos instead of real money games. Las Vegas Uno Social club features private playing tables.

'We created Uno Social Clubs to reimagine what game night can be—bringing people together for real-world fun, connection, and a bit of friendly competition,' said Ray Adler, Vice President and Global Head of Games at Mattel. 'The Uno Social Club in Las Vegas is just the beginning, and we're excited to see how these new experiences inspire players to show up, play hard, and make unforgettable memories.' Uno is also not an approved game at gaming venues and any gambling would be considered a violation in the eyes of the Nevada Gaming Commission. Entry to the event was based on the winners of a social media hashtag competition run by Mattel earlier in the year. Influencers were invited to test out the space recently, but as per the casino rules were not allowed to place bets on games. '(G)ood thing there was no betting,' influencer itszuose, who boasts 134,000 Instagram followers said, 'bc I would've lost a lot of money.' The thought of the wildly popular game enjoyed by children and adults alike arriving at casinos is a scary thought for some. The exclusive club kicks off from July 18. Despite a strict ban on betting on the games, there are fears it's now just one step away. 'Vegas just trying to ruin lives,' one Instagram user said. 'Losin 500k cz u (sic) forgot to say Uno.' 'If y'all thought gambling addiction was bad now, when this is official gambling rate might go up especially for average people,' another said. 'What's next? Coin toss?' Earlier this year Yaamava Resort and Casino in California duped users online as part of an April fool's joke by announcing a real-money Uno table game at their venue, with tongue-in-cheek warnings to 'please use Draw 4's responsibly.' But the main question on everyone's mind: 'Can you stack +4 on +4?' One thing for sure, some clarity on the hugely divisive rules will be much needed ahead of play.

Why billionaires and celebs flock to these US ski resorts
Why if it ain't Jacob Dutton, the patriarch of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, right about there by the conveyor belt! And if that ain't his daughter Beth standin' next to him!

You could think you've landed on the set of that crazily successful Paramount TV drama series (Yellowstone, for the uninitiated). There are cowboy extras everywhere. There's even an Instagram site documenting the western get-ups that pass through this place.

Two alpha males go head-to-head as tensions rise
In the wake of an explosive Couple's Cove catch-up, Sam and Emanuel are no closer to squashing their beef. And fingers are being pointed at Sam's relationship with Jess after the pair departed lunch early to escape the noise. However, standing up for her man, Jess earned back some respect from her husband who had earlier felt a lack of trust. But that could be lost in an instant when photos from their past, and their phones, are delivered via the prickly orange crate. Georgia is in hysterics when she sees confronting images depicting Chad's past life as a stripper. 'Who cares!' she says, 'We're living in the present, we're not living in the past.' Brie tells Byron she loves a 'good stalk' before dating her suitors. The girls enjoy a spa day. Credit: Heath McKinley 'I'll go deep. I'll be on their 2011 photos,' she admits, before doing just that on her husband's phone and failing to see any red flags. Though the tables turn when Brie shows Byron her dating app profile, admitting she has probably '200 conversations open'. 'She's a classic example of not using dating platforms for the right seasons,' Byron tells producers, offered a glimpse into her commitment issues. Re-visiting the matter hours later, Byron tells Brie he thinks she's not ready for a relationship. And she doesn't take it well. 'I'm pissed off,' she tells producers, 'Where's the flare?' Initial concerns of inadequacy emerge for Dani, who peruses Emanuel's Instagram profile and is intimidated by his 'curated' feed and easy access to women through his music. 'It's the perfect environment for hook-ups,' she tells him. But Emanuel insists he's passed sleeping with 'groupies' and says he can imagine Dani joining him at shows. For Sam and Jess, who have had zero trouble landing dates on the outside, it presents an opportunity to learn how they sell themselves to the opposite sex. Laughing along as Sam captions each dating photo aloud, he feels that relationship coach Jess shows a 'poor reflection of herself' online. 'I'm going to be brutally honest. If this was in the Hinge world and I came across it, I probably would hit 'cross',' he says. After the initial shock, Jess admits to feeling grateful he was honest with her. At Amy and Mike's camp, the discussion over dating apps leads to Amy considering her 'ammo' — X-rated intel passed on from Emily early on — when her beau insists he deleted his profiles months prior. Not everyone is happy at the girls' day, with some relationships attacked. Credit: Seven Network With Boys and Girls day scheduled, drama threatens to re-ignite between Sam and Emanuel as couples split into groups. Amid question marks over whether Sam will show up at all, the mystery man arrives with the best intentions and attempts to clear the air. 'I wouldn't mind getting the ugly stuff out of the way first so we can enjoy our date,' Sam says to the group, glancing over to Emanuel. Explaining he needed to walk away at their previous encounter to avoid further conflict, he apologises to Emanuel and they put it behind them. And Mike seeks counsel from Chad who advises him of an alternative route to winning over Amy's heart. At the girls' spa day, Brie tells the group she was made to feel like a 'dirty hoe' by Byron for sharing her dating history. Switching the spotlight to Jess, Amy expresses her concerns of Sam's many 'red flags' and implores her to see the light. But Jess hits back, saying she doesn't feel 'heard' by Amy, ironically. When the group probes Amy for her feelings towards Mike, she says she wants to see the best of him, but her gut is telling her 'something's really off'. Returning to their respective camps after a day apart, Sam is fed-up with the constant nagging at his relationship, but it appears to be only strengthening his bond with Jess. Byron apologises to Brie for reacting unfairly, and she promises to start afresh despite still feeling offended by his initial response. Mike's attempt to push Amy into taking the next step backfires when she says she's aware he and Emily matched on Hinge the day of their speed dating event. 'Apparently one of the first things you asked her was what underwear she's wearing,' Amy says, with Mike almost choking on his mouthful of water. Asking what he can do to fix the situation, without coming clean on the accusation, it leaves the pair at an impasse. Will they try to find a way forward, or a way out? Next episode's ultimatum will force them to make a tough decision.
