'The Bear' Ends — Carmy Closes the..., Phoebe Bridgers Goes Medieval — Drops... — 2026-06-26 12:00
The Bear says goodbye, Phoebe Bridgers returns with a sword, the James Bond race heats up, Tom Hardy drops a rap album, and Nolan wrestles with IMAX anxiety.
🔥 Top 5 Conversation Starters
1. 'The Bear' Ends — Carmy Closes the Kitchen for Good
FX's culinary anxiety attack of a show aired its series finale, "The Original Beef of Chicagoland," this week. After three seasons of screaming, panic attacks, and the best food-porn on television, Jeremy Allen White's Carmy Berzatto hung up his apron. The hyper-earnest thesis? The real restaurant was the friendships they made along the way. Naturally, the internet is divided on whether the ending stuck the landing. Regardless, The Bear exits as one of the defining shows of the decade — and leaves a Chicago-shaped hole in prestige TV.
2. Phoebe Bridgers Goes Medieval — Drops First Solo Single in Four Years
She's back. Phoebe Bridgers released "Lost Boys," her first solo single since 2022, and the music video is pure Renaissance-Faire chaos — Bridgers sword-fighting through the suburbs in full medieval regalia, co-starring Skyler Gisondo. After the Boygenius era, a tour with Taylor Swift, and a producing stint, this is Bridgers re-staking her claim as one of the most compelling solo artists working. The single is expected to anchor a new album later this year.

3. The Next James Bond? Louis Partridge Says It's "Wonderful" to Be in Contention
Amazon's search for the next 007 has a frontrunner, and it's Louis Partridge — the 23-year-old Brit who broke out as Tewkesbury in Netflix's Enola Holmes franchise. At the world premiere of Enola Holmes 3, Partridge addressed the Bond rumors: he never pictured himself as 007, but said it's "wonderful" to even be in the conversation. With Amazon taking the reins of the franchise, a younger, Gen-Z-friendly Bond feels increasingly inevitable. The question is whether Partridge has the edge — or just the cheekbones.
4. Tom Hardy Has a Rap Album Now — And It's With CZARFACE
In the most gloriously unpredictable crossover of 2026, Tom Hardy is releasing a collaborative hip-hop album with underground supergroup CZARFACE (Inspectah Deck, 7L & Esoteric). The lead single "Brothers Grimm" features Hardy — under the alias Frankie Pulitzer — trading bars with the Wu-Tang legend. This isn't a celebrity vanity project, either: Hardy has been quietly releasing mixtape material for years. The full album drops next month. Yes, Bane raps now.
5. Katy Perry Finally Gets Angry — "Watch It Burn" Is the Rage Anthem We Didn't Know She Had
Katy Perry has been many things — pop confectioner, American Idol judge, Vegas headliner — but "angry" was never on the list. That changed this week with "Watch It Burn," a fiery single accompanied by a literal inferno of a music video. After years of playing nice, Perry is torching the scaffolding and rebuilding in real time. Early chart returns suggest fans are here for the heat.

Amazon的搜索下一位007可能有一个领跑者，那就是Netflix《Enola Holmes》系列中的Tewkesbury扮演者Louis Partridge —— 一个23岁的英国小伙子。在《Enola Holmes 3》的世界首映礼上，Partridge对邦德传闻做出了回应：他从未想过自己会成为007，但他说能参与到这样的讨论中“很棒”。随着亚马逊接管了这个系列的主导权，一位更年轻、更适合Gen-Z口味的邦德似乎越来越不可避免。问题是，Partridge是否有优势——或者只是有棱角的脸庞。
