Rihanna is going all in next year
Rihanna will perform at the Super Bowl in Glendale, Ariz., on Feb. 12 as the N.F.L. enters the first year of a new deal with Apple Music as primary sponsor of the halftime show, replacing Pepsi.
It is the first scheduled return to the stage for an artist who last performed publicly at the Grammy Awards in early 2018, and whose most recent solo album, “Anti,” was released in January 2016.
“We’re excited to partner with Rihanna, Roc Nation and the N.F.L. to bring music and sports fans a momentous show,” said Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president for Apple Music and Beats.
The announcement is an about-face for the singer, who was among the artists who rebuffed invitations to perform on football’s biggest stage in support of Colin Kaepernick, the former 49ers quarterback who has been unable to find a new team since he became a free agent in March 2017. Kaepernick accused the league of blackballing him because of his kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality toward Black people.
Blonde currently streaming on Netflix
Blonde premiered on Netflix on 28 September, but film fans have been able to watch it in cinemas since 23 September – although, the movie has received a mixed reaction. One fan said Armas' performance as Monroe was the "rawest portrayal we've ever seen" as another person described her as "impeccable". Meanwhile, one viewer said they "never want to watch it again".
"There is this emotional detachment from Marilyn Monroe that makes this such a dark and graphic film. It’s actually disturbing how exploitative this is," another critic said of the film, with someone else claiming that Blonde is full of "needless scenes of sexual assault and anti-abortion propaganda."
With Blonde creating so much controversy, many viewers have been left wondering what – if anything – is factual about the movie, especially given that Blonde is actually based on a biographical novel, not real life. With that in mind, we took a deep dive into the key scenes in the film to ask: What's true and what's not in Netflix's Blonde?

I had a multi-million dollar Call of Duty deal on the table that I couldn’t take because of court. Guys think twice about those quick decisions! Lesson learned”.
