Event organizers are seeking yet another location to hold the festival, according to a note to ticketholders, obtained by USA TODAY on April 17. The change comes weeks before the festival’s first day, planned to begin May 30, and after an initial change of location in March from Isla Mujeres, Mexico to Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

An entertainment lineup had yet to be seen, but organizers say the event is still happening.

“Fyre Festival 2 is still on,” the note to ticketholders states. “We are vetting new locations and will announce our host destination soon. Our priorities remain unchanged: delivering an unforgettable, safe and transparent experience.”

A festival spokesperson did not clarify when this letter was shared with ticketholders. It is unclear if the festival is still on track to begin May 30. USA TODAY has inquired for more information from organizers.

After the controversial country superstar announced collaborations on his aptly titled album “I’m The Problem,” Wallen shared future songs with frequent collaborators: Post Malone, Hardy, Ernest and Eric Church. But one name stood out: McRae. The forthcoming McRae feature marks Wallen’s first major collaboration with a woman.

McRae first teased the news on April 15 after she posted a picture of a jersey with Wallen’s initials on her Instagram story.

Fans flooded McRae’s Instagram post from April 16, slamming the “Revolving Door” hitmaker for her upcoming Wallen collab: “I was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you! How dare you?” one commenter said while another added, “Girl we love you pls cancel that collab with Wallen pls.” One person wrote, “now why would you go and do that.”

The “Sixth Sense” and “Forrest Gump” actor was arrested April 8 for public intoxication and possession of an unidentified controlled substance at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area resort in Mammoth Lakes, California, according to reports this week from Entertainment Weekly and People. Sergeant Jason Heilman of the Mammoth Lakes Police Department told the outlets that Osment is no longer in custody.

Osment was described as an “unruly skier,” according to a Mammoth Lakes Police Department media bulletin. People magazine reports the incident is still under investigation, and the Mono County District Attorney’s Office has not announced whether the actor will face charges.

USA TODAY has reached out to Osment’s reps, as well as the Mammoth Lakes Police Department and Mono County Sheriff’s Office.

At the time of his arrest, Osment, a Los Angeles native, was days away from his 37th birthday.

The “Ozark” actress finally made her debut as the Silver Surfer in a new trailer for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” released April 17. In the footage, her character is seen arriving on Earth to warn the Fantastic Four that their planet has been marked for death.

Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn) then flies toward the Silver Surfer and grabs her board, only for her to knock him away and send him flying back toward Earth. A few more shots of the Silver Surfer are shown throughout, including one of her flying on her board through an explosion.

Laurence Fishburne previously voiced the Silver Surfer in 2007’s “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.” But in “First Steps,” Garner will be playing a female version of the character named Shalla-Bal, who is the herald of Galactus.

Galactus is also featured in “First Steps,” played by Ralph Ineson. The trailer shows the giant villain towering over the city and ends with his large foot stomping through the street.

The rapper, 42, ruled out ever playing the Super Bowl halftime show after he was passed over for this year’s event, which was held in his hometown of New Orleans.

“They stole that feeling,” he said in an interview with Rolling Stone published Thursday. “I don’t want to do it. It was perfect.”

Wayne revealed he did not even watch this year’s Super Bowl halftime show, which was headlined by Kendrick Lamar, and instead played pool with fellow rapper Lil Twist. “Every time I looked, it was nothing that made me want to go inside and see what was going on,” he said.

The rapper also confirmed he went out of his way to be “a part of things I’ve never been a part of” leading up to the Super Bowl with the specific goal of being selected as the halftime show performer.

Kate Cassidy appeared on the “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” wellness podcast in an episode Wednesday and detailed her grief, including how she was told about the One Direction alum’s October death.

“I was in the house alone with our dog Nala, and I remember just being on the couch,” Cassidy told Shetty, adding that one of Payne’s friends called and said, “Is Liam OK? I heard he fell from a balcony.”

The former server told Shetty that she “said, ‘What? That must be a rumor.’ I was like, ‘That’s not true at all.’” The British boy band alum, one-fifth of the beloved group, died after he fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Titled “Close the Door,” the single will be released on digital streaming platforms on April 18. Sapp says it “isn’t just a song, it’s a soundtrack for survival.”

“I’m releasing it this Good Friday, the day we honor the crucifixion of Jesus Christ,” Sapp added in an Instagram post. “Just like He closed the door on death, Hell, and the grave, I’m closing the door on the noise, the pain, and everything that tried to break me.”

The controversy stems from a viral video in which Sapp speaks in front of the congregation at the 109th Pentecostal Assemblies for the World Convention in Baltimore, Maryland, in July. In the video, he called on churchgoers in the building −and those watching online − to help raise $40,000 by giving $20 each.

After the “White Lotus” actress criticized Sherman’s impression of her in a recent “Saturday Night Live” sketch, Wood revealed the comedian sent her flowers.

“Thank you for the beautiful flowers,” Wood wrote in an Instagram story alongside a photo of the bouquet.

The “SNL” sketch reimagined Season 3 of “The White Lotus” starring President Donald Trump and his allies. Jon Hamm played Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who said he wanted to remove fluoride from drinking water. “What would that do to people’s teeth?” he asked. The sketch then cut to Sherman wearing fake teeth and doing an exaggerated impression of Wood’s “White Lotus” character, Chelsea.

In a series of Instagram posts Sunday, Wood slammed the sketch as “mean and unfunny.” She said she doesn’t mind being made fun of but that there “must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way” to do so.

It’s a sign of what this gangster vampire musical horror movie (in theaters April 18) means to him. Coogler is a filmmaker known for creatively putting his all into films, from “Fruitvale Station” and “Creed” to both “Black Panther” adventures. But “Sinners” is his most personal effort yet, inspired by his favorite entertainment and beloved relatives.

Coogler’s “such a grounded person” who “uses his surroundings and his background to tell a story,” star Miles Caton says. “Through all his films, you can see that everything is always tied into the culture. It can relate to so many different people.”

Set in 1930s Mississippi, “Sinners” features Michael B. Jordan ‒ a frequent Coogler collaborator ‒ as gangster twins Smoke and Stack, who’ve arrived back home after a spell in Chicago. They buy a sawmill to open a juke joint, hiring their young cousin Sammie (Caton) to play his prized blues guitar and entertain the crowd on opening night. Unfortunately, a vampire named Remmick (Jack O’Connell) crashes the celebration, sparking a battle to survive for the twins, their exes (Wunmi Mosaku and Hailee Steinfeld) and this tight-knit community.
