Ariana's Grand(e) 'Positions'

Ariana Grande surprised fans last week when she announced she would be releasing a new album at the end of the month. Now she has followed up with more information. The album is titled ‘Positions’, which is also the name of the lead off single. The song ‘Positions’ is going to be released on October 23, while we will have to wait another week to get the full album on Oct. 23. There also is big speculation of a BTS collab or at very least a collab with JungKook. If that is true the Arianators and Army will collectively lose their shit. Guess we’ll have to wait another week and a half to find out.(EW)

Rent Out Your Own Theater

For as little as $99 you and 20 of your closest friends can rent out a theater at AMC. Sounds great POST RONA. Right now I wouldn’t do it. Mainly because there isn’t anything I want to see at the movies. I do understand this is a way to keep the business going and I hope it’s successful for them. I also think it would be something to continue once Rona GTFOH. (EW)
