Hans Zimmer joins ‘Euphoria' Season 3 as composer alongside Labrinth
Acclaimed composer Hans Zimmer has officially joined the music team for Euphoria Season 3, HBO confirmed this week. Zimmer will work alongside returning composer and producer Labrinth, marking a significant shift in the show's already influential sonic identity. Zimmer, known for his powerful film scores in Interstellar, Dune, and The Lion King, said in a statement, 'It's an honor to join this incredible team of storytellers led by the visionary Sam Levinson. Labrinth's music has shaped the show's identity, and I'm looking forward to contributing to the ongoing story and helping shape this new season through music.' Labrinth, whose genre-defying compositions have been central to the show's tone since its debut, welcomed the collaboration. 'Another chapter in the Euphoria universe! So great to join Hans, one of my heroes in film score, and bring some new magic to this new season,' he said. Series creator Sam Levinson, who remains at the helm for Season 3, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration. 'It's a true honour to be working alongside Hans,' Levinson said. 'I wrote this season to the score of Interstellar and True Romance, so he's been ingrained in the creative DNA since the beginning.' Production on Season 3 began earlier this year after multiple delays. Much of the original cast, including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, and Jacob Elordi, is set to return. New cast members include Sharon Stone, singer Rosalía, and former NFL player Marshawn Lynch, among others. Euphoria is expected to return in 2026.

"I don't want to help him...": Jason Momoa talks about nepotism; opens up about not being involved in casting of his 16-year-old son
The 'Nepotism' eye rolls have been part of the entertainment industry, and Hollywood isn't any different. Jason Momoa , the 'Aquaman' actor, opened up about how he wants his 16-year-old son, who was recently cast in 'Dune 3,' to create his own path in Hollywood, without getting the recommendation calls from him. Jason Momoa talks about his son, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa In an interview with Extra, the 45-year-old denied being involved in Nakoa-Wolf Momoa landing the precious role. 'A rude awakening is what he's in for,' he said, before adding, 'He's into the workforce for the first time. It's going to be good. He did it on his own. I don't want to help him, and he's done it all on his own, and good for him.' Jason further added that one would want their children to be better than them, and he believes that Nakoa-Wolf actually is better than him. 'I couldn't do what he's doing at his age. There's no way I could sit in a room with Denis Villeneuve and hold my own,' he said, continuing that he was 19 during 'Baywatch' while Nakoa-Wold is 16 and is working with Denis Villeneuve. What role is Nakoa-Wolf Momoa playing in 'Dune 3'? The 16-year-old is reportedly playing the role of Leto II, against Ghanima played by Ida Brooke, in the franchise's triquel. Leto and Ghanima are the twin offspring of Paul Atreides, played by Timothee Chalamet and Chani, played by Zendaya, as given in the third book. The Momoas have a legacy of playing a role in 'Dune,' as Jason played Duncan Idaho in 2021's 'Dune: Part One' and will be joining the team in the third instalment after sitting out in the second, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Momoa concluded, 'We raised him beautiful. We raised our children… It's just, you know, being loved and being confident in themselves… That is what he is. He's very confident.'

Jason Momoa Reacted To His 16-Year-Old Son Being Cast As Zendaya And Timothée Chalamet's Child In 'Dune: Part Three' — And Denied That He Gave Him Any 'Help'
Last month, you may have seen some chatter around the casting of the two young actors playing Leto II and Ghanima, the twin children of Paul Atreides and Chani, in the upcoming Dune: Part Three. © Warner Bros. / Courtesy Everett Collection As far as we know, Dune: Part Three will follow the events of Frank Herbert's second Dune novel, Dune: Messiah. For context, Paul and Chani are portrayed by Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya in Denis Villeneuve's film adaptations. And at the time of the casting reveal, there was much praise for the fact that the filmmaker did a damn-good job of finding two teens who look like they could actually be Timmy and Zendaya's biological kids — which is funny, given that one of the young stars already has very famous parents. In case you missed it, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa — who will star as Leto II alongside Ida Brooke as Ghanima — is the 16-year-old son of Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet. Kevin Winter / Getty Images, Mike Marsland / Mike Marsland/WireImage Of course, Jason also appeared in Dune: Part One as Duncan Idaho back in 2021, and will be reprising the role in Dune: Part Three. However, speaking at the premiere for his new Apple TV+ series, Chief of War, over the weekend, Jason was keen to emphasize that his son landed the part all by himself. 'He did it on his own. I didn't want to help him, and he's done it all on his own,' Jason told Extra TV after being asked about the Dune casting. 'I couldn't do what he's doing at his age. There's no way I could sit in a room with Denis Villeneuve and hold my own. I was on Baywatch at 19. He's 16 and he's holding his shit down with Denis Villeneuve.' Despite praising his son's confidence and work ethic, Jason did joke that Nakoa-Wolf is in for 'a rude awakening' when he sees what really goes into moviemaking. '[He's] into the workforce for the first time. It's gonna be good,' he added. In another red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight, Jason also joked that his son is gonna be 'way better' than him, which is exactly 'what you want for your children.' 'This kid…I [was] like, 'No, no, you can't act. No, no no,' and then he did it all on his own,' the dad of two gushed. 'He'll be a force.' Shooting for Dune: Part Three is reported to be starting very, very soon, so it sounds like these two have got a fun father-son trip in store. LMK your thoughts on the casting below.

Rock legend worth £110,000,000 shocks fans on £47 Ryanair flight to Bristol
Rock legend Sir Bob Geldof surprised passengers on a Ryanair flight from Venice to Bristol. Despite having a net worth of £111million ($150m), the Boomtown Rats singer, 73, showed that he was both an eco-warrior and a man of the people as he and his band travelled on a £47 flight to Bristol. The Irish singer was spotted at Venice's Marco Polo airport by a fellow passenger who said he spotted the millionaire looking incognito in sunglasses and having a coffee and a croissant in a cafe after security. They also noted that he was happy to join the long Ryanair check-in queue, and didn't pay for early boarding. 'He didn't even pay to fast-track security or anything, he didn't moan or anything – he was just with everybody else,' Jay Curtis, a travel content creator, told Bristol Post. The content creator got a selfie and asked Sir Bob what he was doing on a commercial flight, to which he replied: 'I don't spend money on luxury travel'. Sir Bob's travel journey took place on Friday, July 18, days after the Boomtown Rats performed in Italy at the Pordenone Blues Festival. The concert was a free event and took place 50 years after Live Aid, which was organised by Sir Bob, and was the largest charity concert in the history of music. Earlier this month, the Live Aid 40th Anniversary Gala took place with Midge Ure and Sir Brian May also attending. Sir Bob isn't the only star to be snapped slumming it with regular people on a commercial flight. Tom Holland was snapped on a number of commercial flights from London to Budapest when he was visiting his then-girlfriend (now fiancée) Zendaya while she was shooting Dune. The US Office's Rainn Wilson has been open about his climate change views and has shared stories about flying on commercial flights. More Trending Robin Williams was also known to fly on commercial flights and reportedly expected no preferential treatment from the staff. Last year, Will Ferrell made headlines when he flew on an Aer Lingus flight from London to Dublin. 'On my London to Dublin @AerLingus flight this evening I was beside Will Ferrell.. in a s**t unreserved seat. There we go, [sic]' @emmaquinlain, a passenger on the plane, shared at the time.
