Watch Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton’s New Video for ‘Say Something’

Justin Timberlake’s futuristic music video for “Filthy,” the first single from his upcoming album, didn’t exactly scream “Man of the Woods.” But today, he released his “Say Something” video featuring country crooner Chris Stapleton, and we’re finally starting to get that woodsy vibe.

Though they’re not technically in a forest or any kind of lumberjack-worthy setting, both don flannel and denim as they make their way through the historic Bradbury Building, riding in elevators, wandering through halls, and navigating stairways — all while strumming their guitars and singing, “Sometimes the best way of saying something is to say nothing at all.”

When the two men finally meet, which happens more than halfway through the video, JT looks up to see the towering floors above them filled with people, who all begin to belt out the catchy tune.

In the live-performance video, directed by La Blogothèque, we not only get an example of mad coordination and on-point planning (seriously, how many times do you think they had to do this before they nailed it?!), but also a glimpse of what it’s like when the former *NSYNC member returns somewhat to his Nashville roots.

If you've been on the internet at all in the last week, there's a chance you've seen THAT Hollywood Reporter magazine cover. You know, the one about Justin Baldoni's Baha'i faith, with artwork of Justin holding a copy of It Ends With Us and Blake Lively slingshotting her phone at him. It's very evocative — or "sexist," according to Blake Lively. But no matter what you think, there's a good chance it'll make you say, "What am I looking at?"

Here's how Justin Baldoni's Baha'i religion reportedly influenced the making of It Ends With Us.

Is the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni feud just "a perfect storm of two opposing personalities”?

Sony Pictures Releasing

The Justin Baldoni vs. Blake Lively legal battle hinges on Blake's claims that Justin sexually harassed her on set (and then orchestrated a campaign to ruin her reputation), while Justin considers her "outrageous" claims to be defamation. The Hollywood Reporter reports Ryan Reynolds has been "extremely active" trying to "drum up as much support" as possible in their personal and professional lives.

As we get closer to their March 2026 trial (and see countless websites, text leaks, and voice memos from both parties), one insider wonders if the whole situation boils down to "two opposing personalities."

“The Justin that I know isn’t capable of doing the things that he’s accused of doing because he truly sees himself as this feminist. But Blake clearly got grossed out,” the insider tells THR. “I honestly feel like it was a perfect storm of two opposing personalities.”

According to THR, the Baha'i faith has over 5 million followers in more than 230 countries, with 3,000 members in LA alone — including Rainn Wilson, Penn Badgley, and Justin. While one source from Justin's 2019 film Five Feet Apart claims it “had shades of Scientology," another says they'd never "worked with a male director who was so worried about everyone’s emotional and mental well-being."

“There was an openness and emotionality to his style that was more typical of a woman, and it probably wouldn’t be an issue if it was a [female director] because of the preconceived notions of gender," they continue. "But if you get a bunch of teamsters together who are told that they should share their feelings, of course someone is going to ask, ‘Why is he such a freak?’ But [Justin] genuinely believes that if we do this, we’ll work better as a group. There’s a little bit of an arrogance to it. It’s like he doesn’t want to acknowledge the world we live in.”

Blake Lively just spoke out about the "extremely offensive" story, saying it "seems to explain away documented examples of sexual harassment and retaliation by calling them ‘cultural misunderstandings.'"

What do you think about the idea this is all just a "misunderstanding"? Let us know in the comments.

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande immediately went viral (and got awards season buzz) for their performances in Wicked. Both women are so engaging, full of life, and magnetic in the movie, which sees their characters in a rivals-turned-BFF's plotline at Shiz University. But as we move into Wicked: Part Two (titled Wicked: For Good), and their characters become established in Oz, Cynthia teases we'll see more "spice" than before.

Here's what Cynthia Erivo had to say about Wicked: Part Two (AKA For Good) at the SAG Awards.

'Wicked: For Good' has a "little bit of spice."

At the 2025 SAG Awards on February 23, Cynthia Erivo spilled on what fans can expect from Wicked: Part Two, which is scheduled to premiere November 21, 2025.

"I think you can expect a little bit of spice in the second part because they've grown up a little bit," she tells People. "They're not in school anymore; they've stepped into their careers and stepped into their choices and we'll see a little bit of spice, I think. For sure. It's necessary." Okay, that totally makes me think of "As Long As You're Mine." It gives me butterflies every time I hear the original Broadway version, and I can't wait to hear Cynthia and Jonathan Bailey sing the movie version.

And this isn't the first time one of our leads has spoken on the new movie! On February 9, Ariana Grande told the Santa Barbara International Festival the Wicked sequel will be "very special" and "very emotional." (Get ready for another press tour full of tears!) "So if movie one is about choices, movie two is about consequences."

"I think the second movie really embodies unconditional love and forgiveness and friendship," she says. "And you'll have to wait and see, but it is quite different."

Even if Wicked: For Good is different than Part 1, one thing's for sure: the cast's bond will shine through just as strongly.

Ethan Slater told Brit + Co in November 2024 that the cast really came to feel like a family. He says Ariana, Cynthia, and director Jon M. Chu "would hug everyone who came in."

"The first day I think every actor had a minimum two-hour meeting with Jon just to walk through all of the designs and all the things and talk about character," he continues. "From from the very beginning, it just felt like it's really safe...This huge movie is something that we've been waiting for for 20 years on a big scale with the biggest stars in the world, it could have felt really intimidating and it felt really familial immediately."
