We’ve Got Good News And Bad News For Anyone Hoping For Season 4 Of Heartstopper

Posted on by

After that emotional finale, we can’t be the only ones already desperate for an update about whether Heartstopper is going to get a fourth season – and when we can expect to see it.

Unfortunately, the bad news is, there’s no official word yet, and season three was the second of a two-series deal Netflix made when it renewed Heartstopper off the back of its hugely successful debut in 2022.

The good news, though, is that it’s a safe bet that Netflix will probably be asking for more from the hit show.

Not only did the most recent season win near-unanimous praise from critics, who were particularly impressed with how the famously wholesome show tackled “grittier” and “more mature” themes, it’s also gone down a storm with fans.

Even more tellingly, Heartstopper also knocked Ryan Murphy’s from the top spot of Netflix’s most-watched list just one day after it began streaming, and viewing figures have previously been a huge factor in how the streaming service decides what comes next.

Of course, there’s also no shortage of ideas to explore in a potential fourth season, too.

Season three ended with a huge question mark over whether Nick will be heading off to the uni of his choice, making his long-standing romance with Charlie into a long-distance relationship, and author Alice Oseman is currently in the process of releasing another instalment in the graphic novel series on which the TV series Heartstopper is based.

Alice previously said they expected the show would run for a total of four seasons, telling Radio Times back in 2022: “It would probably be four seasons to cover the full story.

“I haven’t done any in-detail planning or anything, but it’s quite easy to divide up the books into seasons, so four I think would do it.”

So, Heartstopper fans, just have a little patience, and we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as there’s an update…

Sabrina Carpenter Has 1 Piece Of Advice For People Bothered By Her Sexuality

Posted on by

Like many young pop stars, Sabrina Carpenter has long cited Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears as inspirations. Unfortunately, she’s been subjected to some of the sexist commentary her musical predecessors endured, too.

In an interview with Time published this week, Carpenter said she’s “definitely” been criticised for expressing her sexuality in her music videos and live performances, much as Aguilera and Spears were during their heyday.

“I definitely get that as well,” she told the outlet, alluding to the challenges of honing a pop career in the era of social media. “Someone told me this, whenever I would get upset or feel like I’m the only one getting criticised for something other people are able to do seemingly so freely: I’m the one that’s seeing all the negative shit about myself. My friends don’t see that.”

As for those who have “a strong opinion” on her sexy costumes, Carpenter has a few words of advice.

“To that I just say, don’t come to the show and that’s OK,” she explained. “It’s unfortunate that it’s ever been something to criticise, because truthfully, the scariest thing in the world is getting up on a stage in front of that many people and having to perform as if it’s nothing.”

“If the one thing that helps you do that is the way you feel comfortable dressing, then that’s what you’ve got to do,” she added.

At 25, Carpenter is hardly a show business novice. The Pennsylvania native rose to prominence on the Disney Channel series “Girl Meets World,” which ran from 2014 to 2017. She’s spent much of the past year as the opening act on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, even joining Swift herself onstage in Sydney.

It wasn’t until the April release of her smash single “Espresso,” however, that Carpenter was able to fully capture the pop zeitgeist. Her latest album, “Short ’n Sweet,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart after its release in August and spawned two more hit singles, “Please Please Please” and “Taste.” She kicked off a global tour in support of the album last month.

In the meantime, Carpenter has taken steps to align herself with other music industry stalwarts. Last month, she attended the MTV VMAs in a vintage Bob Mackie gown previously worn by Madonna. She also teamed up with Aguilera for a new version of “What a Girl Wants” in honour of the 25th anniversary of Aguilera’s debut album.

And much as Madonna welcomed Spears and Aguilera into her orbit with a smooch years ago, Aguilera recognised the “symbolic, full-circle connection” she shares with Carpenter for this year’s Time 100 list, which celebrates the most influential people of 2024.

“As a fellow 5-ft. female with a similar working-adolescent Disney history, I firsthand recognise and respect what it takes to maintain clarity while delivering within the demands of this business,” she wrote. “Sabrina handles the task with seemingly effortless ease and charisma while promoting, performing, and handling press with a smile and her signature coy charm.”

Trump’s Response To Melania’s Abortion Stance Has Critics Saying Same Damning Thing

Posted on by
Reply

Donald Trump on Thursday addressed wife Melania Trump’s apparent pro-choice stance on abortion by claiming that he’d told her, “I’m not going to tell you what to do.”

The comment drew ire on social media, however, as critics suggested the former president and current GOP nominee is trying to tell other women exactly what to do with their own bodies via his role in overturning Roe v. Wade, which has led to the banning of or restriction to abortion in multiple states.

“Oh, so Melanie gets to choose but not millions of other women. Got it,” journalist Jemele Hill wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Many other commenters said the same thing. See their comments below.

FOX NEWS: What’s your reaction to Melania championing abortion rights?

Melania Trump wrote in her upcoming memoir, “Melania,” that it is “imperative to guarantee that women have autonomy in deciding their preference of having children, based on their own convictions, free from any intervention or pressure from the government.”

“Restricting a woman’s right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over her own body,” which is a belief she’s held “throughout my entire adult life,” she said.

Commentators speculated as to whether Melania Trump’s comments were a genuine break from the GOP’s increasingly extremist position on abortion rights or whether it was some kind of political ploy to gain moderate swing voters for her husband’s campaign. The former president’s own stance on abortion has, after all, changed many, many times over the years. He is now suggesting that individual states control the issue.

Fox News’ Bill Melugin asked Donald Trump on Thursday, “What’s your reaction to Melania’s memoir about championing abortion rights and reproductive freedom?”

The former president answered, “We spoke about it, and I said, ‘You have to write what you believe. I’m not going to tell you what to do. You have to write what you believe.’”

“She’s very beloved. People love our former first lady, I can tell you that,” he continued. “But I said, ‘You have to stick with your heart.’ I’ve said that to everybody, ‘You have to go with your heart.’ There are some people that are very, very far right on the issue, meaning without exceptions, and then there are other people who view it a little bit differently than that.”

Watch the exchange above.
