A beloved 90s classic is getting the big-budget blockbuster treatment: The Magic School Bus is getting a live-action film with Elizabeth Banks as Ms Frizzle. We're breaking down why Rob Letterman (Detective Pikachu director) has us nervous, and whether Hollywood can actually pull off the magic.

Plus, we've spotted a celeb PR relationship and the signs are absolutely screaming setup. Benson Boone and Alix Earle have all the hallmarks of a calculated love story—the timing, the aesthetic, the TikTok energy, and we're breaking down exactly why this couple feels completely staged.

And Amy Poehler's stepping into the headlines but she's made it crystal clear with her signature "no thank you" that she wants no part of it. A podcast appearance with Will Arnett spiralled into salacious headlines, but Amy's drawing a line in the sand. We're unpacking why everyone from Seth Meyers to Paul Rudd is obsessed with her.
