The reboot — oops, “reimagining” — of the Christmas classic Home Alone has just found its leads in Archie Yates, Ellie Kemper, and Rob Delaney. Archie Yates most recently starred in Jojo Rabbit, and will not be playing Kevin McCallister but a new character entirely, who will presumably also be left home alone. Ellie Kemper and Rob Delaney are set to star as Archie Yates’s parents, with Kemper taking over the “rightly terrified mom” role from legend Catherine O’Hara.

Elvis Costello burst onto the music scene in 1977 with the album My Aim Is True and songs like “Alison” that established him as a powerful new voice in rock. From then on he released album after album, decade after decade, becoming a pop-music institution.

Aussie actress Emily Browning has really carved out an unusual niche for herself: Whenever another actress has to drop out of a project involving a dreamlike brothel and a main character who goes to her happy place during sex acts, Browning is there to step in. That’s what she did when Amanda Seyfried’s scheduling conflicts kept her out of the role of Babydoll in Zack Snyder’s critically maligned Sucker Punch, and that’s what she’ll do in Julia Leigh’s Sleeping Beauty, which will play in competition in this year’s Cannes Film Festival (and was originally supposed to star Mia Wasikowska).

Do not doubt Emma Stone’s Spice Girls fandom. She saw them live in the 90’s, she saw them live on the reunion tour, and she’s seeing them again for this Posh-less reunion tour. Tickets aren’t out, but Stone is confident that she can find a way in.

A few things to love about Los Angeles: low-rider cars, roadside taco stands, and, come awards season, the omnipresent “For Your Consideration” billboards that pitch a show, album, or movie to win their respective trophies. Nobody knows this better than lifelong L.A. resident Lorely Rodriguez, also known as Empress Of. The indie-pop darling’s latest record, For Your Consideration, is her take on what it means to have your full self considered in all of its guises.

Will Smith. Between the vaguely obscene sweaters, unzippable coats, and festive carols that no one actually remembers the lyrics to because they only come up once a year, Will Smith is way ahead of you in terms of being over Christmas, despite wife Jada and daughter Willow’s obvious excitement on Instagram. Well, maybe just a day ahead of you, since it’s technically Christmas right now. Or for 12 hours. Either way, here’s hoping Will Smith’s soft Grinch take on his family’s clearly amazing holiday helps make your day merry and bright.

After today’s newest addition to the Sad Kanye collection, it’s easy to look back on all the other Sad Kanye moments: all of the frowns, all of the jeers, all of the near tears. But since the birth of his baby girl Nori, his engagement to the lovely Kim K., and his collaborations with BFF Jay Z, he hasn’t really been frowning that much. Would you? The dude’s been all teeth.
