CRIME 101 opens in theatres February 13, 2026 via Amazon MGM Studios.
Set against the sun-bleached grit of Los Angeles, Crime 101 weaves the tale of an elusive jewel thief (Chris Hemsworth) whose string of heists along the 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime, his path crosses that of a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who is facing her own crossroads. Convinced he has found a pattern, a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) is closing in, raising the stakes even higher. As the heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and all three are faced with life-defining choices–and the realization that there can be no turning back.
Adapted from Don Winslow’s acclaimed novella of the same name, the film is written and directed by Bart Layton (American Animals, The Imposter). Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte round out the cast.

71-year-old Texan Robert Youens is the fastest boater to complete the Great Loop, while raising money for paediatric cancer along the way. Boating his way through the 9,700 km journey in world-record time is an astonishing accomplishment on its own – not to mention he did it at the age of 71 after defeating cancer, and on a tiny 19-ft aluminum fishing boat, fittingly named the ‘Ageless Wanderer.’ His inspiring journey through the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf Coast, Mississipi River and Great Lakes, captured on social media, gained him followers and fans who offered to pay for his fuel, food (and even clean underwear for him), made signs for him along the route – even penning songs about him. Youens will share his story on the seminar stage, Jan. 17 & 18.

Today – Friday, January 9th – burgeoning alt-pop singer-songwriter and producer Erin LeCount releases her sensational new single, ‘I BELIEVE’, out now via Atlantic Records. Alongside the single is a new live performance video of ‘I BELIEVE’, taken from Erin LeCount’s recent London KOKO show. Listen here.
Erin has teased the release of ‘I BELIEVE’ on social media and has played it live on her recent emphatic sold-out ‘La Lune Tour’, which took place at the end of last year. ‘I BELIEVE’ follows the release of her two recent singles, ‘808 HYMN’ and ‘MACHINE GHOST’, both of which were released in late 2025.
On ‘I BELIEVE’, Erin LeCount demonstrates why she is one of the most acclaimed and exciting new artists to emerge onto the scene today, with an artist vision that is unfalteringly and unmistakably her. The track’s expansive production, which was created entirely by Erin, is coupled with her hauntingly beautiful vocals and lyrics. ‘I BELIEVE’ has a sound that falls between art-pop and baroque-pop, and it is a track that signifies the lofty trajectory Erin LeCount has in store for her already impressive career.
Speaking about ‘I BELIEVE’ Erin LeCount said:
“‘I BELIEVE’ is a cynical, existential song about apathy, passiveness in your own life, disillusionment with the state of the world, what it feels like to turning to every possible external source to tell you how to feel and exist – religion, self help books, magazines, astrology, lovers, antidepressants. I wrote it about a pursuit of perfection, faith and meaning soundtracked to relentless synth pop production.”
Also out today is a live performance video of ‘I BELIEVE’, taken at Erin LeCount’s recent sold-out headline show at London’s KOKO. The video was shot and edited by long-time collaborators of Erin LeCOUNT, Sam Taylor-Edwards and Kit Dale, who both worked on the music videos for ‘808 HYMN’ and ‘MACHINE GHOST’. The video is available to view below.
In December 2025, Erin LeCount embarked upon her sensational UK and IE ‘La Lune Tour’, which saw her play to sold-out crowds in Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Dublin, and London. In February 2026, Erin will take the ‘La Lune Tour’ tour to North America, where she will play cities including a sold out show in February in Toronto, New York, and Los Angeles. The original North American tour sold out within weeks, and due to popular demand extra dates have been added to the tour. Full details can be found below, and tickets can be purchased HERE.
Erin LeCount is a 22-year-old self-taught artist and producer. A visionary sonic architect and the sole writer and producer of her music, her sound ranges from luscious baroque-pop arrangements to alluring gothic-pop. At the foreground of her music are diaristic lyrics and captivating synths which offer an enchanting interplay of vulnerability and power. The themes within her music explore everything from identity to relationships and the meaning of life. Erin’s influences include Fiona Apple, Kate Bush, Lorde, Imogen Heap, Charli xcx, and Sampha.
Recently, Erin LeCount attended Paris Fashion Week, attending shows including Ann Demeulemeester and MUGLER.

After announcing his long-awaited fourth solo album, The Romantic, earlier this week, Bruno Mars returns today with the first single, “I Just Might,” available now via Atlantic Records HERE. The new song, which is joined by an official video directed by Bruno and Daniel Ramos HERE, offers a glimpse into the new project—officially arriving everywhere on February 27. You can pre-save the album and pre-order the exclusive first-pressing numbered vinyl now HERE, while supplies last.
“I Just Might” also arrives on the heels of yesterday’s announcement of The Romantic Tour, which marks Bruno’s first full headline tour in nearly a decade following the massively successful 24K Magic World Tour, which first launched in 2017. Produced by Live Nation, the 2026 tour will be the first full headlining stadium tour by the GRAMMY® Award-winning performer. The tour will span nearly 40 shows across North America, Europe, and the UK, marking one of the biggest global outings of the year.
The tour launches on Friday, April 10, in Las Vegas, NV, at Allegiant Stadium and will see Mars bring his larger-than-life energy to major cities including Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, Toronto, Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, Denver, Miami, and more. Along the way, he’ll headline some of the world’s most iconic venues, with back-to-back shows at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, Wembley Stadium in London, MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, and SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Joining Mars across all dates is nine-time GRAMMY® award-winning artist and Silk Sonic collaborator Anderson .Paak as DJ Pee .Wee. Additional support will be provided by Victoria Monét, RAYE, and Leon Thomas across select markets. Fans can check their local listings for more details.
All North American dates on The Romantic Tour are sponsored by MGM Resorts International and The Pinky Ring at Bellagio.
This new tour builds on an incredible few years of global performances for Mars, including his acclaimed Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM and an extensive and record-breaking international touring run throughout Australia, Asia, the Middle East, and South America. In early 2024, Mars became the first international artist of the 21st century to hold seven consecutive sold-out concerts at the Tokyo Dome. Notably, in the fall of 2024, he achieved the highest-grossing tour in Brazilian history, performing 14 sold-out stadium shows across Brazil, spanning five cities—Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Brasília, Belo Horizonte, and Curitiba. In August of 2024, Mars also opened Los Angeles’ brand-new arena, Intuit Dome, with two sold-out performances, one of which featured a surprise on-stage duet with Lady Gaga, where they debuted the first live performance of “Die with a Smile.”
Both the tour and new album come in the wake of Bruno’s continued chart success, with recent singles including the GRAMMY® award-winning “Die With A Smile” with Lady Gaga, which became the fastest song in Spotify history to reach one billion streams and topped the Billboard Global 200 Chart for a record-tying 18 weeks, as well as the pervasive “APT.” with ROSÉ—the latter of which was just crowned the most globally streamed song of 2025 by Apple Music, and scored 19 weeks at number one on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. Chart and 12 weeks at number one on the Billboard Global 200 Chart. Beyond its massive global chart achievements, “APT.” also won “Song of the Year” at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, and earned three nominations at this year’s 68th Annual GRAMMY® Awards for “Song of the Year,” “Record of the Year,” and “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.”
Bruno continues to prove himself as one of the most influential forces within the music industry. In January 2025, he became the first artist in Spotify history to surpass 150 million monthly listeners, ranking him among the platform’s top global artists. In October 2022, he became the first artist in RIAA history to earn six Diamond-certified singles. As of 2026, he has reached at least seven RIAA Diamond certifications for songs including “Just the Way You Are,” which is now the highest-certified song in history at 21x RIAA Platinum, “Uptown Funk” (with Mark Ronson), “Grenade,” “That’s What I Like,” “When I Was Your Man,” “Locked Out of Heaven,” and the “The Lazy Song.” His debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, is the longest-running studio album by a solo male artist on the Billboard 200, with over 345 weeks on the chart. He has secured nine Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles and has spent a total of 30 weeks atop the Global 200 with his 2024–2025 hits.

Light Gathering in the Yuàn 光聚院心, an immersive dining experience shaped by light, culture, and contemporary Chinese hospitality, will make its debut this January as part of the DesignTO Festival. Presented inside The Light Room, a new experimental design space created by Mason Studio and VYVYD Lighting within Mason Studio’s Cultural Hub, the event marks the inaugural activation of an ongoing exploration into how illumination shapes emotion, ritual, and human connection.
The evening brings together Mason Studio, VYVYD Lighting, and Chef Eva Chin of Yan Dining Room for a
sensory event shaped by light, space, and contemporary Chinese hospitality. Inspired by the traditional
yuàn—a courtyard at the heart of a home—the experience welcomes guests into a world where gathering
feels both familiar and new, offered over two intimate, ticketed evenings.
In Chinese tradition, the Yuàn is more than an architectural form; it is the emotional center of domestic
life, a place where families meet, celebrate, honour ancestors, and move through seasonal rituals. It is a
space shaped by light, open sky, and human connection, making it a natural foundation for an event
devoted to illumination, hospitality, and shared experience.
The night opens with a gesture of hospitality that shifts guests into a different state of mind. The event
unfolds like a living courtyard: Chef Eva Chin shaping a modern raw seafood bar inspired by Chinese
flavours through memory and craft; Mason Studio creating the spatial rhythm and environmental
experience; VYVYD Lighting scripting illumination that moves and drifts with the senses. These elements
converge inside The Light Room, where light becomes both atmosphere and storyteller. With each course,
the space subtly transforms, deepening the connection between flavour, memory, and place.
When dinner is not in session, The Light Room remains open as an installation, its lantern-like glow
lingering, traces of celebration still present, the room warm with the nearness of those who’ve just
gathered. Visitors are invited into this afterglow, where light and space continue their quiet conversation.
Presented as part of DesignTO, with DBD CoLab supporting the creative connection between collaborators.
Tickets are available for purchase HERE.

About YOUNGBLOOD
Dean Youngblood was raised by his father, Blane, on a diet of toughness and hockey. When Dean is invited to join the Hamilton Mustangs, he travels to Canada from Detroit where his skill commands respect and his arrogance earns him fast enemies. Coach Chadwick, resentful of being saddled with such a toxic player, keeps Dean benched game after game. Dean’s frustration builds, culminating in a violent outburst involving rival goon Carl Racki that costs the Mustangs a significant win.
As Team Captain Sutton takes him under his wing, Dean begins to buck Blane’s teachings and his growing maturity spurs a relationship with Jessie – Coach Chadwick’s daughter – who gives Dean a run for his money on and off the ice. His newfound resolve draws the ire of Racki, who provokes Dean during a game by attacking and seriously injuring Sutton. As the final game of the playoffs approaches, so does his showdown with Racki and Dean’s choice as to what kind of man he wants to be.
