With Halloween just around the corner, "Smile 2," the highly anticipated horror sequel, is ready to hit theaters.
Following the success of the original, which grossed $200 million globally, "Smile 2" continues the eerie story of a deadly curse passed on after witnessing someone's death. This time, the movie follows pop superstar Skye Riley, played by Naomi Scott, as she battles the pressures of fame, a traumatic past and the madness brought on by the curse.
"She is going through a lot that I think people can relate to in an very unrelatable context," Scott said. "I think she feels isolated. She feels like people are looking at her, but not seeing her."
At just over five feet tall, Sabrina Carpenter is one of the giants of the pop world. Her latest album, "Short n' Sweet," debuted at #1. But that's not the half of it: Her first three singles – "Espresso," "Please Please Please" and "Taste" – all hit the top five of Billboard's Hot 100 in the same week. The only other music act to do that was The Beatles back in 1964.
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson claims in his soon-to-be released memoir that Queen Elizabeth II was diagnosed with bone cancer before her death in September 2022 at the age of 96. His assertion represents a significant break with royal protocol between the prime minister's office and Buckingham Palace, under which the U.K.'s elected leaders generally keep the royal family's private matter to themselves.
