This week, it's time for the latest instalment in the John Wick franchise, as Ballerina hits the big that's not all the next seven days have in Nintendo Switch 2 also launches, and TikTok star Addison Rae is releasing her debut studio on for what's coming up this week... The fifth John Wick film is here It's been a few years since we last saw John Wick, but fans will be gearing up for Ballerina, the latest film in the franchise, which comes out on between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4, the film follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas), a ballerina-turned-assassin who uncovers secrets from her family's directed by Len Wiseman, who described it in press notes as "kind of the opposite of John Wick's story. Wick is trying to get out of his life as an assassin; Eve is wanting in - she wants to be a killer'.Keanu Reeves, who plays the title character in the John Wick franchise, is also starring in Ballerina - but the extent of his involvement is still to The Hollywood Reporter, he recently said he spent only 'eight days' on set of the new film.'But it was fun to play the role again and I'm excited for people to see the film. It's in the spirit of John Wick and has new characters and opens up some stuff, so hopefully people like it,' he added. Nintendo Switch 2 launches By Tom Gerken, technology reporter Thursday may seem like any other day of the week to some - but it's a date gamers have had marked on their diaries for of thousands, perhaps even a million, people will unbox their very own Nintendo Switch 2, the sequel to the third-best selling console in history.I was one of the lucky few to get my hands on it last month, and it makes quite a first impression. It's like a Switch - but with a bigger and brighter screen, and of course much more power under the also has a cool hook - you can use the controller like a computer mouse by twisting it on its side, making PC games such as Civilization VII a more enjoyable experience than struggling with not all good news for gamers though as that power comes with a cost - not only is the hardware more expensive than Nintendo fans may be used to, some games are too. A physical copy of Mario Kart World costs a whopping £ with pre-orders selling out worldwide, at least for now it's looking like Nintendo might well be onto another winner.

Addison Rae 'Fame Is a Gun' Lyrics, Explained
Addison Rae—or Addison, as she prefers to be called—wants to be a pop star, and she's not afraid to say it. Her unapologetic desire for fame, fortune, and pop icon status is on full display in her new single, 'Fame is a Gun.' Addison dropped the new single and music video on Friday, May 30, and after one listen, it's clear that the 'Fame is a Gun' lyrics are a defiant declaration of her pop star intentions, as well as a message to all her haters. The fourth single off her upcoming album, Addison, 'Fame is a Gun' is a rebuke to all the criticism she's gotten as she transitions from TikTok darling to pop super star. Did you watch the music video for 'Diet Pepsi' in shock? Were you scandalized when she attended the VMAs in an elevated bra and underwear set? Well, Addison's got a message for you—she doesn't care!—and she's going to tell you why over a catchy, club-friendly electro-pop beat. Obsessed yet? Thought so. Let's dive deeper into the 'Fame is a Gun' lyrics (provided by Genius) to really fall in love. [Verse 1]Tell me who I am, do I provoke you with my tone of innocence?Don't ask too many questions, that is my one suggestionYou know I keep it real, I live for the appealKnew it from the start, it was the only way to mend my broken heartDon't ask too many questions, this is my one confessionIt never was enough, I always wanted moreI always wanted more [Chorus]Fame is a gun and I point it blindCrash and burn girl, baby, swallow it dryYou got a front row seat and II got a taste of the glamorous lifeRight from the start, Addison is calling out those who want her to remain the teenage TikToker she once was and who might not understand why she's pivoting to a more sexy look. In the first verse, she's letting you know it's not that complicated ('Don't ask too many questions') she wants to be famous—aka live a 'glamorous life'—pure and simple. [Verse 2]There's no mystery, I'm gonna make it, gonna go down in historyDon't ask too many questions, God gave me the permissionAnd when you shame me, it makes me want it moreIt makes me want it more, more Here, Addison is unabashedly declaring that she wants to be famous and 'go down in history.' And, when naysayers call her outfits too revealing or try to shame her for her more risqué lyrics, it just makes her want to be more edgy, more revealing, more famous. [Chorus 2] Fame is a gun and I point it blind (Blind)Crash and burn girl, baby, swallow it dry (Dry)You got a front row seat and II got a taste of the glamorous life (Life)Love is a drug that I can't deny (Deny)I'm your dream girl, but you're not my typeYou got a front row seat and II got a taste of the glamorous life (Uh-huh) Addison adds a bit to the chorus the second time around, singing, 'Love is a drug that I can't deny,' but I don't think she's talking about romantic love. It's the love and adoration from fans that she can't get enough of. [Post-Chorus]Glamorous lifeGlamorous lifeGlamorous lifeI got a taste for the glamorous life [Bridge]Nothing makes me feel as goodAs being loved by youNothing makes me feel as goodAs being loved by you [Chorus 2] [Outro]I got a taste of the glamorous life (Uh-huh)I got a taste of the glamorous life With 'Fame is a Gun,' Addison is making it clear that not only does she intend to continue to captivate the pop world, she's doing so unapologetically and without reserve. And I can't wait to hear what she drops next.

What to Stream: Nintendo's Switch 2, Addison Rae album, 'Presence' and Ariana Madix returns to Fiji
NEW YORK (AP) — A Shaquille O'Neal docuseries about his time at Reebok's basketball division and Mario Kart World on Nintendo's Switch 2 are some of the new television, films, music and games headed to a device near you. Also among the streaming offerings worth your time, as selected by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists: Ariana Madix returns to Fiji as host of a new season of 'Love Island USA.,' TikTok star Addison Rae offers her debut album 'Addison' and then there's "Presence,' Steven Soderbergh's movie entirely from the perspective a ghost. New movies to stream from June 2-8 — 'Presence,' one of two excellent Steven Sodebergh-directed, David Koepp-scripted movies released this year, arrives Tuesday on Hulu. The film, a nifty, experimental little thriller, is filmed entirely from the perspective a ghost inside a home a family has just moved into. From a floating point-of-view, we watch as the mysterious presence, piecing together a past trauma while observing the unfolding a new one. In her review, AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr called 'Presence' 'a heady experiment that transcends the somewhat gimmicky-on-paper premise — something Soderbergh manages to do alarmingly well and regularly.' — Tyler Perry 's latest, 'Straw,' stars Taraji P. Henson as a struggling single mother who, desperate for money to pay for her daughter's prescriptions, robs a bank. The film, co-starring Sherri Shepherd, Teyana Taylor and Sinbad, debuts Friday, June 6 on Netflix. — For anyone still mourning the death of Gene Hackman, a new series streaming from Thursday on the Criterion Channel collects some of the late actor 's best films. That includes William Friedkin's seminal 1971 New York thriller 'The French Connection,' Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 masterpiece 'The Conversation' and Wes Anderson's 'The Royal Tenenbaums,' a movie in which Hackman's strained relationship with the director has been a subject of conversation following his death. But also don't miss Arthur Penn's 1975 'Night Moves,' a quintessential '70s neo-noir that gave Hackman one of his most indelible roles in the private eye Harry Moseby. — Film Writer Jake Coyle New music to stream from June 2-8 — Has there been a more seamless transition from TikTok social media star to full-fledged pop music force than that of Addison Rae? On Friday, June 6, she will release her debut LP 'Addison,' one of the year's most anticipated releases – from the Lana Del Rey-channeling 'Diet Pepsi' to the trip-hop 'Headphones On.' She's managed to tap into a kind of late-internet cool through a hybrid approach to pop music and a lackadaisical singing style. Could it be 'Addison' summer? Only time will tell. — Need your Cynthia Erivo fix between 'Wicked' films? She's got your back. The multihyphenate will release her sophomore LP, 'I Forgive You' on Friday, June 6, a collection of big belts and even bigger vulnerabilities, with gorgeous songs that sound as though they were ripped straight from Erivo's diary. Listen closely and carefully for maximum enjoyment. — Anyone who thinks the mainstream music listening world has lost interest in rock bands needs to simply look at Turnstile, the Baltimore hard-core punk band that could. They've largely left those harsh sounds behind and have opted for something more melodic and accessible — which is, arguably, part of the appeal for those curious parties — but they've maintained their hard-core ethos and edge. 'Never Enough' is gearing up to be the biggest release of their career so far, and we say it's time to get on board. And get in the pit. — Music Writer Maria Sherman New television to stream from June 2-8 — Ariana Madix has returned to Fiji as host of a new season of 'Love Island USA.' The new episodes have big shoes to fill. Last season was the top-rated reality series of 2024. It also broke through the cultural zeitgeist with social media memes and water cooler conversation. Madix says she's not worried about duplicating that success, and wants the contestants to focus on 'creating their own lane by being truly themselves and bringing themselves to it, you'll never lose by doing that.' The show premieres Tuesday and will air six nights a week on Peacock. — As a teenager, Kristin Cavallari was a breakout of the MTV reality series 'Laguna Beach' because of her unfiltered honesty. She's carried that with her throughout other reality shows and to her podcast 'Let's Be Honest.' Cameras rolled when Cavallari took the podcast on the road in March. That will air as the docuseries 'Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour' beginning Wednesday on E!. It streams on Peacock. — Shaquille O'Neal also has his own docuseries coming to Netflix Wednesday called 'Power Moves with Shaquille O'Neal.' It's an inside look at his efforts as president of Reebok's basketball division. Allen Iverson is vice president. Both have a history with the brand. In 1992, O'Neal signed a deal with Reebok as a rookie playing for the Orlando Magic. Iverson famously inked a lifetime deal with the brand one year prior in 1991. The series will show the two pro ballplayers work to make Reebok Basketball cool and competitive in the sneaker market. It drops Wednesday. — Get your feel-good TV fix with Apple TV+'s new show, 'Stick.' It stars Owen Wilson as Pryce, a broke and divorced former pro golfer who could use a break. He finds it in a teen phenom named Santi and volunteers to be his coach. The show is about chosen family and second chances. 'Stick' premieres Wednesday. — Nintendo fans worldwide are bracing themselves for the arrival of the Switch 2, a souped-up version of the eight-year-old console with new social features meant to draw players into online gaming. The highlight of the launch lineup is Mario Kart World, which features a Grand Prix for up to 24 drivers and introduces a sprawling open environment where 'everywhere is your racecourse.' Other Day One arrivals include upgraded versions of the last two Legend of Zelda adventures, and some popular third-party games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Split Fiction will be making their Nintendo debuts. The next generation takes the stage Thursday, June 5.
