Let's go party. We officially know the artists featured on the upcoming Barbie soundtrack.

Dua Lipa, Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice, Ava Max and Charli XCX are just a few of the artists featured on the album. Even Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken, is listed.

Mark Ronson (who's worked with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen and Lady Gaga) was the executive producer.

We still haven't had a song of the summer, but this project is guaranteed to give us one!

Oh, and that's not all. A new trailer is also out for the movie. Watch here:

Film and Television

Netflix gave us a first look at the second season of Heartstopper — the British LGBTQ+ show about two students who fall for each other. One is on the edge of being a social outcast, the other is the school's star rugby player.

Catch up now before season two drops on August 3! We promise you won't regret it.

Speaking of Netflix, they seem to be cracking down on password sharing. So much for the company's 2017 tweet that said "Love is sharing a password."

The Verge reports that the streaming company wants to charge $7.99 per person outside of the main household for using a shared account. More importantly: What does this mean for Netflix and chill???

‘Actors on Actors’ — the I-didn't-know-I-needed-this-until-I-watched-it series from Variety where actors sit down with each other and chat about life and work — is back for season 18.

Here's a glimpse of who you can expect to see:

  • Katherine Heigl + Ellen Pompeo
  • Jeremy Allen White + Jennifer Coolidge
  • Melanie Lynskey + Natasha Lyonne
  • Steven Yeun + Pedro Pascal
  • Rachel Weisz + Taron Egerton
  • Sheryl Lee Ralph + Jennifer Garner

Music

Taylor Swift has released Midnights (The Til Dawn Edition) which includes a new version of "Snow on the Beach (feat. Lana Del Rey)." At first, Lana gave us more background vocals than anything else. Now, we have "Snow on the Beach (feat. More Lana Del Rey)." Yes, that's actually what it's called.  

The new album edition also has a remix of "Karma," this one featuring Ice Spice.

Our advice: Stream "Snow on the Beach" and skip the "Karma" remix. Bad karma for saying that? Maybe. But the song is just not good.

Also in the world of collaborations, a Madonna and Sam Smith song seems to be on the way. Both artists shared the same short clip across social media of the two of them saying their names. Madonna introduced Sam Smith and Kim Petras at this year's Grammys.

We received some sad news last week about the death of the legendary Tina Turner. She was 83.

Beyoncé, during her show in Paris, said, "I wouldn’t be on this stage without Tina Turner."

Fans also paid respect outside of Turner's home in Switzerland.
