CGood morning, it's Monday, 6:02. Jisoo just dropped teasers for a new single called ADDICTED, out Friday.
LAre we talking BLACKPINK Jisoo?
CThe one and only. Pop Base on X says the digital single is out Friday.
LShe's been quiet on solo music for a while. This feels big.
CHer last solo album was a couple years back. The teasers are moody, stylish, very her.
LI'll be awake at 8 a.m. Korean time, which is... Thursday evening for us.
CIt's a single, not a full comeback. But the fans are already losing it.
LAre they ever not? Jisoo could post a photo of toast and it'd trend worldwide.
CFair. Still, new music from a BLACKPINK member is a proper Monday story.
LMeanwhile, a casting rumor that might break the internet: IGN on X says Marvel has reportedly cast Sandra Hüller in Avengers: Doomsday for a secret cameo.
CReportedly. That's doing a lot of work.
LIt's IGN, they have sources. Hüller is an Oscar-nominated actress. Marvel loves that kind of coup.
CMarvel also loves a mystery box. Remember all those secret cameos that turned out to be nobody?
LThat's the point of a secret cameo! But Hüller in a Marvel movie would be genuinely interesting. She doesn't do blockbusters.
CWhich is exactly why I doubt it. Why would she sign on for a secret cameo?
LWhy not? Actors take paychecks, and Marvel pays.
CTrue, but Hüller's art-house reputation... a mystery role in an Avengers movie could feel like a cash grab.
LOr a great scene she can't talk about. We won't know until the movie drops.
CShe was in Anatomy of a Fall, very intense. If she's in Doomsday, it's probably one scene and a mountain of speculation.
LYou're mad because you wanted the rumor to be someone else.
CI just want official confirmation before I get excited.
LFair. No word from Marvel yet. We'll see.
CAnd one more music note: Pop Base on X also says Phoebe Bridgers will headline All Points East on August 27, 2027.
LThat's a long way off, but a big London festival slot.
CThe claim that it'll be her biggest solo headline show ever hasn't been independently confirmed. That part needs a little patience.
LYou and your verification. But Bridgers at Victoria Park? That's a good get.
CIt is. And I'm sure tickets will go on sale... eventually. For now, a date and a promise.
LI'm already planning my 2027 summer around it. Too soon?
CNever too soon for a Bridgers show.
LBefore we go, Billboard on X ranked every VMA Video of the Year winner, critic's picks.
CWho's number one?
LI only saw the headline, but I can guess: something from the last decade always tops these lists.
CIf it's not Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer,' the list is wrong.
LThat's a hot take at 6 a.m.
CIt's the right take. The VMAs have been around since '84, there's plenty to argue about.
LWe'll post our own ranking later.
